It doesn't mean much It doesn't mean anything at all The life I've left behind me is a cold room I've crossed the last line from where I can return where every step I took in faith betrayed me and led me from my home --Sarah McLachlan, "Sweet Surrender"

"And every dog cut loose from the harness, free to roam And the cast-iron runners left to rust in the snow And it’s three hundred feet to the top And the bravest of climbers gave it all up and went home Yea, the bravest of climbers gave it all up and went back [b]home[b]."
-- Curtis Eller, "The Bravest of Climbers"
There's a story that goes with this one. I'm working in the bookstore today, and a tall guy with a mustache walks in and looks around a bit. He showed interest in the music that was playing (a local musician whose CDs we carry). Then he did a double-take at the pile of CDs next to the radio, and said, "That's my CD!" Turns out he's a musician from New York, played a gig down the street from here last night, and the album on top of the pile happened to be one he recorded two years ago!

So hey do you do judo in your finery? An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly Thunder wishes it could be the snow Wishes it could be as loved as she can be These gifts are here, for her, for you, for me --Tori Amos, "Purple People (Christmas in Space)"

Some day we'll catch a glimpse of eternity As the world stands still for a moment And I guess we will be making history When we all join hands just to watch the sky (For a moment) --Apoptygma Berzerk, "Eclipse"

I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though It all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crispapple strudel Doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on your nose and eye lashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad
Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things
I absolutely love this song...now I've gotten my daughter addicted to it as well. My son is now looking for a new home.

You and I, we reject these narrow attitudes We add to each other, like a coral reef Building bridges on the ocean floor Reaching for the alien shore

Will there ever be time enough? Or are we just too naive? I haven't just given up Oh God, I still believe Is patience still waiting? Will I wait on my knees too? Are you laughing at us today? And is this just one big game? Now cash me in while you can We never were the same Come on Will you ever have all you want? And are we just next in line? Don't throw out your one good chance You only have this time.

We were locked in this kitchen I took to religion And I wondered how long she would stay I needed so much To have nothing to touch I've always been greedy that way But my son and my daughter Climbed out of the water Crying, Papa, you promised to play And they lead me away To the great surprise It's Papa, don't peek, Papa, cover your eyes And they hide, they hide in the World

Straw spun from gold, she craves a tortured soul, All doom and gloom, she plays an open wound, She takes every scene they steal, She fakes every pain they feel, She must be a Thelma or Louise, She must be a post-modern tease. --Sneaker Pimps, "Post-Modern Sleaze"

Take me down, 6 underground, the ground beneath your feet, Laid out low, nothing to go, nowhere a way to meet. I've got a head full of drought, down here, So far off losing out, round here, Overground, watch this space, I'm open to falling from grace. --Sneaker Pimps, "6 Underground"
