And I forgot to tell you 'I love you.' And the night's too long and cold here without you. I grieve in my condition, for I cannot find the words to say I need you so.

Have you seen the well to do Up and down Park Avenue? On that famous thoroughfare With their noses in the air High hats and arrowed collars Wide spats and fifteen dollars Spending every dime For a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know Where to go to, why don't you go Where fashion sits? Puttin' on the ritz.

she wouldn't need to be a bird without a wing or be a servant to a telephone ring she could be sleeping in the comfort of another bed it wouldn't matter to a man with an open heart here comes right now...
she could be moody, dramatic as a play or be evasive as a shadow in the shade could be irregular and singing in her underwear... it wouldn't matter to a man with an open heart here comes right now...
her wild and wise womanly introspectiveness her faults and files of foolishness...
wouldn't matter to a man with an open heart... here comes right now...

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold In a church on the Upper West Side Babe, I was singing, I was holding your arm You were holding my trust like a child

Christmas morning I'll be laying there Seven children all in my hair We can't start without you Yeah, you must get up Pour a shot of whiskey in your coffee cup

'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis Oh, I've got friends in low places

Summer was gone and the heat died down And Autumn reached for her golden crown I looked behind as I heard a sigh But this was the time of no reply.

Last night they loved you, Opening doors and pulling some strings, angel Come get up my baby In walked luck and you looked in time Never look back, walk tall, act fine Come get up my baby
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years

I can see it in your eyes. You've got those bright baby blues. You don't see what you've got to gain But you don't like to lose. You watch yourself from the sidelines Like your life is a game you don't mind playing To keep yourself amused. I don't mean to be cruel, babe, But you're looking confused.

She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing Her movements something else Oh love...like a screaming flower Love...dying every hour

Lost souls prowl the garden, Look you'll find me there You can recognize me by the Bloodstained cloths I wear Come and pick a flower From the garden of delight Tell no one where you are going, Just be sure to come at night To the garden of delight

What about me? what about you? what about all you put me through? what about love? what about hate? what about the time that you were late? what about me? what about sex? what about sex with me?

High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast D.J.'s the man we love the most Could you be, could you be squeaky clean And smash any hope of democracy? As the headline says you're free to choose There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

All my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside
In your eyes The light the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution of all the fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, i want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat i see in your eyes
In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel
PS Professor Funk, I was actually referring to Sarah M's name with my spelling remark, but now that you've revealed it, I will never make the mistake of referring to YOU as a HE!

I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest, who'd have known? I traced the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine, I didn't think enough I'm too depresed to go on, you'll be sorry when I'm gone
I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was watching Too late to try The tour was over we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone
I never thought I'd die alone Another six months, I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never step foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault

"It's easier not to be wise And measure these things by your brains I sank into Eden with you Alone in the church by and by I'll read to you here, save your eyes You'll need them, your boat is at sea Your anchor is up, you've been swept away And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate To leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
I alone love you I alone tempt you I alone love you Fear is not the end of this!"

We all walk through this world alone, We keep ourselves untouched, unknown. You look up to the sky above you, Read this there - I love you. Oh it's written there, You know I love you, love you, love you.
But with your troubled mind, You're like a goods train running through my life.

So here's another song with the four oldest chords in history I guess I lost all ambition turning left on Missouri I could've made it better but the feelings just aren't there My heart is cold and black and I just don't think I care So here's to me sayin' fare thee well And when you hear this song I hope it hurts like hell

I... I came here by day. But I left here in darkness, and found you on the way. So now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold. You, in somber resplendance, I hold.

It's the perfect time of day To throw all your cares away Put the sprinkler on the lawn And run through with my gym shorts on Take a drink right from the hose And change into some drier clothes Climb the stairs up to my room And sleep away the afternoon.

This car turned over without a key or gasoline tonight Feel everything on fire and I'm dressed to kill killing for your dress goodnight Help me to wait on you, hesitate it too, cause I'm alone Feel so jaded, contemplative, waiting for you
We're running hot tonight and it feels so good Your arm in mine here near midnight and it feels so right Girls and the boys chase down running hot tonight
