My buds, old friends, Margene from Big Love:
"Nothing From Something"Things are coming down on me They never seem to let it be It seems like everything I say just starts another fight The pressure's building up inside I gotta let it out tonight Shattered glass will cure my ills and make me feel alright[CHORUS] Gonna break it And never stop running Making nothing from something Making nothing from somethingCut me for the lion's share It's mindless, but I don't care 'Cause no matter what I say I'm in a another fight Take more shit, I've had enough Tonight I'm gonna rip it up Broken windows cure my ills and make me feel alright"Waiting in Vain"I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love. From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl, My heart says follow t'rough. But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line, But the waitin' feel is fine: So don't treat me like a puppet on a string, 'Cause I know I have to do my thing. Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb; I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon. I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, 'Cause if summer is here, I'm still waiting there; Winter is here, And I'm still waiting there. --- [Guitar solo] --- Like I said: It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door, And I still can knock some more: Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible? I wanna know now, for I to knock some more. Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief, But your love is my relief: Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burn While I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn, See!I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love; I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh! I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain. I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain. No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) - No I - no I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) - No, no-no, I, no, I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) - It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain); It's me love that you're running from. It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain); It's me love that you're running from."The Perfect Drug" i got my head but my head is unraveling can't keep control can't keep track of where it's traveling i got my heart but my heart's no good and you're the only one that's understoodi come along but i don't know where you're taking me i shouldn't go but you're wrenching dragging shaking me turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky the more i give to you the more i dieand i want you and i want you and i want you and i want youyou are the perfect drug the perfect drug the perfect drug you are the perfect drug the perfect drug the perfect drugyou make me hard when i'm all soft inside i see the truth when i'm all stupid-eyed the arrow goes straight through my heart without you everything just falls apartmy blood wants to say hello to you my fears want to get inside of you my soul is so afraid to realize how very little good is left of meand i want you and i want you"Another Day, Another Vendetta"The question they keep asking me. How can one so young be so bitter and angry Well the answer is plain to see Just look around at this world that we're living in. It's die or let die Take or be taken from And there's nowhere to run Who do we look to What have we done These times have taken the best from us. All I see is killing Another day, another vendetta There is so much suffering Another day, another vendetta I see the homeless standing out on the streets On every corner, they're asking for money I try to help them whenever I can but sometimes I can't afford to help myself. I see diseases and modern plagues of our time The greed of our leaders have made them blind To our problems, they spend millions over seas While people right here are fighting wars everyday All I see is killing Another day, another vendetta There is so much suffering Another day, another vendetta All you can do is stay close to what is true to you. Stay close to what is true to you. All you can do is stay close to what is true to you Stay close to what is true to you. Never let go of what you strive for. Hold tight, never let go Never let go of what you strive for. Never think you can't make a change. All I see is killing Another day, another vendetta"Summer Wind" The summer wind, came blowin' in from across the sea It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand Two sweethearts and the summer windLike painted kites, those days and nights, they went flyin' by The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky Then softer than a piper man one day it called to you I lost you, I lost you to the summer windThe autumn wind and the winter winds, they have come and gone And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end My fickle friend, the summer windThe summer wind Warm summer wind Mmm, the summer wind"Time"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the wayTired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gunAnd you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to deathEvery year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time Plans that either come to nought Or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone The song is over Thought I'd something more to sayBreathe repriseHome, home again I like to be here when I can when I come home cold and tired it's good to warm my bones beside the fire far away across the field the tolling of the iron bell calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells
