Half the world hates
What half the world does every day
Half the world waits
While half gets on with it anyway

Half the world lives
Half the world makes
Half the world gives
While the other half takes

Half the world is
Half the world was
Half the world thinks
While the other half does

Half the world talks
With half a mind on what they say
Half the world walks
With half a mind to run away

Half the world lies
Half the world learns
Half the world flies
As half the world turns

Half the world cries
Half the world laughs
Half the world tries
To be the other half

Half of us divided
Like a torn up photograph
Half of us are trying
To reach the other half

Half the world cares
While half the world is wasting the day
Half the world shares
While half the world is stealing away


Half the World - Rush

Rock hard with a purpose
Got a mind that won't bend
Diehard resolution
That is true to the end

No, denyin', we're going against the grain
So defiant, they'll never put us down

Rock hard, ride free
All day, all night
Rock hard, ride free
All your life.....

Nobody ever told me, I found out for myself
Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game, it's if you win or lose
You can choose
Don't confuse
Win or lose
It's up to you.....

A nice inspirational one from the newest Disturbed album, Evolution, this is "A Reason To Fight" :

The image in your eyes, reflecting the pain that has taken you
I hear it in your voice so ridden with shame from what's ailing you

I won't give up, so don't give in
You've fallen down but you can rise again
So don't give up

When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
And it feels like it's a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

Lost in your world of lies I find it so hard to believe in you
Can it be real this time, or just a part of this game that we're playing through

I won't give up, so don't give in
You've fallen down but you will rise again
I won't give up

When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
And it feels like it's a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight

Don't let it take your soul
Look at me, take control
We're going to fight this war
This is nothing worth dying for

Are you ready to begin
This is a battle that we are gonna win

When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason

When the demon that's inside you is ready to begin
And it feels like it's a battle that you will never win
When you're aching for the fire and begging for your sin
When there's nothing left inside, there's still a reason to fight
I'll be your reason to fight
Give you a reason to fight

Another nice, inspirational tune I forgot I loved until Jo reminded me in another thread:

"Bungle In The Jungle" by Jethro Tull

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole
Drunk every Friday
Eating their nuts
Saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers
Who wait in the shadows
They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows

Let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me
I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree

Just say a word and the boys will be right there
With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder
I'll write on your tombstone, I thank you for dinner
This game that we animals play is a winner

Let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me
I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
And He who made kittens put snakes in the grass
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns
Yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
To light up His Jungle as play is resumed
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune

Let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me
I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree"

Songwriters: Ian Anderson

(Not the best acoustically, but the visuals in this video are great. I wonder if I could find just one pair of his leggings in Ebay? I'm going to look.)

Jethro Tull - the very first winner of the Best Heavy Metal Band award since it became a category on the Music Awards, beating out the almighty Metallica. Ahyuk! I love Tull but God that is hilarious! Somebody's head was obviously Thick as a Brick on that one. :-p

Runnin' my rig around ninety-five
Rockin' and a-rollin' in a overdrive
Yeah, my heart is beatin' like a jackhammer
It's the midnight ride of the gearjammer...


Gearjammer - George Thorogood

Out on the highway, middle of the night
You're like a bullet with the pressure to ignite
Your radio is sending signals to your brain
This ain't no child's play, no it's not a game

Turn it up, pound into the night
Drive it up, past the speed of light
You've got everything at your fingertips
It's something you believe in, the world is in your grip

Autoblast
Don't look back
Autoblast
Loud and fast...….

There's trouble on the street tonight
I can feel it in my bones
I had a premonition
That he should not go alone

I knew the gun was loaded
But I didn't think he'd kill
Everything exploded
And the blood began to spill

So baby, here's your ticket
Put the suitcase in your hand
Here's a little money now
Do it just the way we planned
You'll be cool for twenty hours
And I'll pay you twenty grand

I'm sorry it went down like this
And someone had to lose
It's the nature of the business
It's the smuggler's blues
Smuggler's blues

The sailors and the pilots
The soldiers and the law
The payoffs and the ripoffs
And the things nobody saw

No matter if it's heroin, cocaine or hash
You've got to carry weapons
'Cause you always carry cash

There's lots of shady characters
Lots of dirty deals
Every name's an alias
In case somebody squeals
It's the lure of easy money
It's got a very strong appeal

Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes
It's the ultimate enticement
It's the smuggler's blues
Smuggler's blues

See it in the headlines
You hear it every day
They say they're gonna stop it
But it doesn't go away

They move it through Miami
Sell it in L.A.
They hide it up in Telluride
I mean it's here to stay

It's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru
You ask any DEA man
He'll say "There's nothin' we can do"
From the office of the president
Right down to me and you
Me and you

It's a losing proposition
But one you can't refuse
It's the politics of contraband
It's the smuggler's blues
Smuggler's blues


Smuggler's Blues - Glenn Frey

Another song from the Nashville TV show:

A Life That's Good

Sittin' here tonight
By the firelight
It reminds me I already have
more than I should
I don't need fame
no-one to know my name
at the end of the day Lord I pray
I have a life thats good

Two arms around me
Heaven to ground me
And a family that always calls me home
Four wheels to get there
Enough love to share
and a sweet sweet song
At the end of the day , Lord I pray
I have a life thats good.

Sometimes it's hard on me
When dreams don't come easy
I want to look back and say
I did all that I could
At the end of the day
Lord I pray
I've had a life thats good.

So hard to have a favorite from all that these rock and roll gods did, but this one is way up there on my list of favorites from these swinging chaps...…

I sawr a film today, oh boy
The English army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to tur-ur-ur-urn you-u-u-u o-o-o-on.....



A Day in the Life - The Beatles

I just love how peotic these lines are, and the tune is pretty catchy, too :

"Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me, I'm yours from the start
I know you see me, our eyes interlock
'Cause you come from out of nowhere oh oh
My glance turns to a stare...."

From Out Of Nowhere by Faith No More

It's full-on winter here and freezing, so here's a beautiful and appropriate song, which again, has some lovely poetic lines :

'Cold' by Annie Lennox

"Come to me, run to me
Do and be done with me
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah,

Don't I exist for you
Don't I still live for you
(Cold cold cold)

Everything I possess
Given with tenderness
Wrapped in a ribbon of glass
Time it may take us but God only knows
How I've paid for those things in the past

Dying is easy
It's living that scares me to death
Ooh, yeah,
I could be so content
Hearing the sound of your breath

Cold is the color of crystal the snow light
That falls from the heavenly skies
Catch me and let me dive under
For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes

I want to be with you baby, oh-oh
Slip me inside of your heart
Don't I belong to you baby
Don't you know that nothing can tear us apart
Come on now come on now come on now
Telling you that
I loved you right from the start,
But the more I want you the less I get
Ain't that just the way things are

Winter has frozen us
Let love take hold of us
(Cold cold cold)
Now we are shivering
Blue ice is glittering
(Cold cold cold)"
