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 Reply #161.

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 Reply #168.

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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGltpPVLoL4 (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.) Reply #169. Jan 19 19, 2:39 PM |

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...

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 Reply #172.

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. Reply #173. Jan 20 19, 5:53 AM |

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.....

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...."

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)" Reply #178.
