[Arvestaked]

Too many struggles, too many scenes
a broken record of miseries
and if you let it, it makes you cry
and you can never be satisfied
I see the victims of low esteem
the empty people without a dream
the bitter faces of bitter men
and I don't want to end up one of them

How will it make me cry
if I won't let a tear in my eye
how will it make me feel worse
if I won't let it hurt
I've been through trouble before
I stood tall when I got up off the floor
to find myself a different situation

Now when the sun rolls across the sky
and the autumn leaves fall before my eyes
I can see the reason why
I remember how to forget

Too many troubles and memories
of disappointment and apathy
and if you let it, it makes you hate
you've got to learn to take it day by day
I see the victims of low esteem
the empty people without a dream
the bitter faces of bitter men
but I don't want to be one of them

I see the sun roll across the sky
and the autumn leaves fall before my eyes
and I know the reason why
I feel so fine

[Arvestaked]

When it first began
in the light of sacred things
and you felt oblivious to any sort of pain
when it first began to rain
then there came the steady flow
slowly like a flood
sweeping over everything and turning into mud
Why?

Is there nothing sacred left, nothing to hold on to?
Is there no way to make it up, nothing that you can do?
You believe what you want to believe

Not so long ago
it was as perfect as the snow
you can never know what things
may come to spoil your dreams
and to hurt you as they have
Do you hear the rain
so insistent on the windowpane?
A reminder of a night when everything was changed
Why?

Is there nothing sacred left, nothing to hold on to?
Is there no way to make it up, nothing that you can do?
You believe what you want to believe

When the light of morning comes
you see the damage done
and you know how many things
may never be the same
there you will remain
in the ruin after the rain

Sex sleep eat drink dream

Primal tribal apple egg
vegetable eel
I have a new canoe
but it does not have a wheel

Sex sleep eat drink dream

Private velvet animal
Oldsmobile mind
I'm sitting in the fireplace
burning up my time

Sex sleep eat drink dream

Private velvet animal
empty t.v.
they're fishing in the kitchen
but they haven't caught up to me

Primal tribal chemical
digital night
I've got to get dressed to go out
of my mind

Sex sleep eat drink dream

[Arvestaked]

Close your eyes and look at me
I'll be standing by your side
in between the deep blue sea
and the sheltering sky
if we find no words to say
to the rhythm of the waves
then we'll both surrender there,
walking on air

And the worries of the day lie down
under cover of the fading clouds
the secrets of the night come alive
in your eyes
you don't have to hurry
you don't have to try
cause you don't have a care
you're walking on air

[Arvestaked]

One eye goes laughing
one eye goes crying
through the trials and trying of one life
one hand is tied
one step gets behind
in one breath we're dying

I've been waiting for the sun to come up
waiting for the showers to stop
waiting for the penny to drop...one time
and I've been standing in a cloud of plans
standing on the shifting sands
hoping for an open hand
one time

REM, Loosing my Religon

Life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour I'm
Choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream


REM, Everybody Hurts
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

[Arvestaked]

Well, I woke up this morning in a cloud of despair
I ran my hand across my head,
pulled out a pile or worried hair
I went to my physician who was buried in his thoughts
he said, "Son, you've been reading
too much Elephant Talk"

He said, "The thing about depression is,
well you just can't let it get you down,
you have to see the world for what it is:
a circus full of freaks and clowns
and you'll never please everybody,
it's a well established fact",
he said, "I recommend a fifth of Jack
and a bottle of Prozac"

What can you give a man who has everything
can you give him back his edge,
can you make him want to sing?
No, you can only take from him,
and there's nothing he can do
I've got the driving me to drink and eat
a bottle of Prozac blues

Well, I woke up this morning and I shaved of my head
by the time I realized what I had done I was already dead
I went to see the gatekeeper standing by Heaven's door
he said, "I hope you brought a good supply of... you know"

[Arvestaked]

Pain day sky beauty die black joy
love empty day life die pain passion
joy black day hate beauty die life
joy ache empty day pain die love
passion joy black light

And if God is dead what am I,
a fleck of dirt on the wing of a fly
hurtling to earth
through a hole in the sky

And if Warhol's a genius, what am I,
a speck of lint on the penis of an alien
buried in gelatin
beneath the sands of Venus

Time sun hurt trust peace dark rage
sad white rain sun anger hurt soft
trust night rage rain white hope dark
sacred sun time trust hurt rage anger
rain white light

And if a bird can speak, who once was a dinosaur,
and a dog can dream; should it be implausible
that a man might supervise
the construction of light
the construction of light

Pain day sky beauty black die joy
love empty time sun hurt trust peace
dark rage sad white rain hate anger
hope sacred passion life night ache soft
light

Lyrics are nothing special for this one, but the musics's great. George Harrison at his best.

Isn't it a pity
Now, isn't it a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long
But how do I explain
When not too many people
Can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity
Isn't is a shame
How we break each other's hearts
And cause each other pain
How we take each other's love
Without thinking anymore
Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity

Forgetting to give back
Isn't it a pity
Forgetting to give back
Now, isn't it a pity

Here's my favorite break-up song. Substitute the name Jenny for Elise and it becomes very personal.

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
To make your eyes catch fire
The way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
If they only would
If they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
That hides away
From me and you
There're worlds to part
With aching looks and breaking hearts
And all the prayers your hands can make
Oh I just take as much as you can throw
And then throw it all away
Oh I throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round
Yesterday
I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
The way I wanted to
But I just can't hold my tears away
The way you do

Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke
And the make-believe ran out...

So Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
The way we act out
Every way to smile
Forget
And make-believe we never needed
Any more than this
Any more than this

And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else
I can really do
At all...
