And as we've been missing the old thread (and I can't be bothered to look for it) here's a new place to sing out!
Don't be shy now.
Here's a song for Alan, it's called Heaven
There is a song the river sings There is a river sings your name The air is living, humming Slanting sun In heavens view Aah aah
Lay down your restless motion now Turn down the faithless voice inside Protect my heart My heartbeat I will take Take care of you
I will take care Take care of you
Lay down upon the silver grass Down on the blanket laid for us Melting all together We’ll watch the moon, The moon go past
So hang on Hang on strong to me Let me show Let me show you How sweet the strong can be
Hold on Hold on
Heaven
So hang on Hang on strong to me Let me show Let me show you How sweet the strong can be

You say there's always gonna be this thing Between us days are filled with dreams Scorpions crawl across my screen Make their home beneath my skin Underneath my dress stick their tongues Bite through the flesh down to the bone And I have been so fuckin' alone Since those three days
Did you only want me for those three days? Did you only need me for those three days? Did you love me forever just for those three days?
You built a nest inside my soul You rest your head on leaves of gold You managed to crawl inside my brain You found a hole and in you came You sleep like a baby breathing Comfortably between truth and pain But the truth is nothing's been the same Since those three days
Did you only want me for those three days? Did you only need me for those three days? Did you love me forever just for those three days?

Peeling the skin back from my eyes I felt surprised That the time on the clock was the time I usually retire To the place where I clear my head of you But just for today I think I'll lie here and dream
I've got you under my skin Where the rain can't get in But if the sweat pours out Just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out
A howling wind blows the litter As the rain flows And streetlamps pour orange-coloured shapes Through your window A broken soul stares from a pair of watering eyes Uncertain emotions force an uncertain smile
I've got you under my skin Where the rain can't get in But if the sweat pours out Just shout I'll try to swim and pull you out

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old Sometimes I'd like to quit Nothing ever seems to fit Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
What I've got they used to call the blues Nothin' is really wrong Feelin' like I don't belong Walkin' around Some kind of lonely clown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.
Funny but it seems I always wind up here with you Nice to know somebody loves me Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do Run and find the one who loves me.
What I feel has come and gone before No need to talk it out We know what it's all about Hangin' around Nothing to do but frown Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down.

You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you. You'd be like heaven to touch. I wanna hold you so much. At long last love has arrived. And I thank God I'm alive. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you.
Pardon the way that I stare. There's nothing else to compare. The sight of you leaves me weak. There are no words left to speak. But if you feel like I feel. Please let me know that it's real. You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you.
I need you baby, and if it's quite all right, I need you baby to warm a lonely night. I love you baby. Trust in me when I say OK: Oh pretty baby, don't let me down I pray. Oh pretty baby, now that I found you, stay. And let me love you, oh baby let me love you, oh baby....

Twenty seconds on the back time I feel you on the run Never lived too long to make right I see you're doing fine And when I get that feeling I can no longer slide I can no longer run And when I get that feeling I can no longer hide for it's no longer fun
Well, you can say what you want But it won't change my mind I'll feel the same about you And you can tell me your reasons But it won't change my feelings I'll feel the same about you
What I am is what you want of me Now that I'm not there Took the tables away from you It's turned that I don't care And when I get that feeling I can no longer slide I can no longer run And when I get that feeling I can no longer hide for it's no longer fun
I've said goodnight try to sleep tight Just dream of me Go close your eyes cause I'll close mine The sun will shine from time to time When you dream of me

Everybody shouts on I Love Lucy Pee Wee reads the evening news A pre-owned song or a second-hand Uzi Everybody got a job to lose
Here come the golden oldies Here come the Hizbollah Businessmen from South Miami Humming AOR
Meanwhile...
I like Cal and his dog Napalm I like Ike and his itty-bitty A-bomb Everybody got one, I want mine You can order it up on Channel Nine
Meanwhile, in the Sheraton, Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on
There was a time but it's long gone Janie got a crush on the Viet Cong Burning through downtown Saigon Me, I'm sold - down the Mekong
Meanwhile, in the Sheraton, Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on
Guns and cars and accidents The threatened witness my defence You can sell one another for fifteen cents Well bye-bye mother, it's common sense
Meanwhile, in the Sheraton, Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on

We got winners We got losers Chain smokers and boozers An' we got yuppies We got bikers An' we got thirsty hitchhikers And the girls next door dress up like movie stars Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar
We got cowboys We got truckers Broken hearted fools and suckers An' we got hustlers We got fighters Early birds and all nighters And the veterans talk about their battle scars Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar
I love this bar It's my kinda place Just walk in through the front door Puts a big smile on my face It ain't too far Come as you are Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar
I've seen short skirts We've got high-techs Blue collar boys and rednecks An' we got lovers Lots of lookers I've even seen dancin' girls and hookers And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar (yes I do!)
I like my truck (I like my truck) An' I like my girlfriend (I like my girlfriend) I like to take her out to dinner I like a movie now and then
But I love this bar It's my kinda place Just toeing around the dance floor Puts a big smile on my face No cover charge Come as you are Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I love this bar Mm, mm, mmm, mmm, mmm, I just love this ol' bar

Out of the street you better get on home Tail shaking filly running on her own They say she got loose on the night she was born Cranking it up in the school zone
"kick it out - kick it out", she said "kick out your motor and drive While you're still alive - kick it out!"
Sitting in a bar in a seaside town Sweet little love getting high getting down Sailors see her running along the beach Laugh and jump out of reach
Wild music blowing in her mane She needs a bareback rider won't give her no pain A hard racy game of give and take Leaves them dazed - half crazed- in her wake
"kick it out - kick it out", she said "kick out your motor and drive While you're still alive - kick it out!"

Soñé que el río me hablaba I dreamt that the river spoke to me con voz de nieve cumbreña with a voice of mountain snow y dulce me recordaba and sweetly it reminded me las cosas de mi querencia of the things that I love
Tú que puedes, vuélvete Turn back, you that are able to me dijo el río llorando the river said to me crying los cerros que tanto quieres, me dijo the hills that you so love, it said, allá te están esperando are waiting for you
Es cosa triste ser río To be a river is a sad thing quien pudiera ser laguna who could be lagoon oír el silbo en el junco to listen to the mockingbird in the reeds cuando lo besa la luna when it is kissed by the moon
Tú que puedes, vuélvete me dijo el río llorando los cerros que tanto quieres, me dijo allá te están esperando
Que cosa más parecida How similar are son tu destino y el mío your destiny and mine vivir cantando y penando to exist singing and suffering por esos largos caminos through those long roads

Up in the little room, looking down, everybody's passing time Princess dressed in wool, dreaming eyes, whispering her rhymes "rain play my song today, no one wants to know me anyway" Perfect lover where are you? I can't wait much more for you to come true
Shining prince inside my head, Live inside a palace underneath my bed
And everybody knows who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
Typewriter steel and gray, work away, everybody's going home Over across town, caught in a crowd, still living alone Little room for her out of the rain A little something for the pain Lay in wait impatiently for the lord of the rock 'n roll aristocracy, see me.... Dreaming in photographs at night, love's like sand held in your hand so tight
And everybody know who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine
Everyday's like the day before Come in tired and lock the door Paint your space with magic hands Shining slick and dandy Smile at your fans
"C'mon pretty boy sing for us Take me over the edge I know you're good enough
And everybody knows who they are in a velvet garden of rhinestone stars Shine down on me satin queen, overlords of insane scenes They go dancing cross the pages of the magazine

He's a man whose voice speaks for everyone And his actions touch the lives of us all He rules with energy and style Touch my hand, kiss my child Save us all with a smile He readily accepts acclaim And soon forgets that he came From the backstreets like them
We pray to the east We pray to the west And we see the gods of the new church As they undertake their vow Tell me who will save us now Save us from the Lords of the new church
He's a man some believe is a visionary He's a man who is driven by greed He made a fortune overnight In a deal that he knew was too good to be true As he bends the rules of play Becomes obsessed with the game has to go all the way
We pray to the east We pray to the west And we see the gods of the new church As they undertake their vow Tell me who will save us now Save us from the Lords of the new church
They feast and they fly While we pay the real price But what price do we place on life
So we pray to the east We pray to the west And we see the gods of the new church As they undertake their vow Tell me who will save us now Save us from the Lords of the new church
ooooooo the new church ooooooo save us from the Lords of the new church ooooooo God, new church ooooooo save us from the Lords of the new church
