Hi, this one's really special...

JACK JOHNSON lyrics : "Buddha"

Trouble travels fast
When your specially designed for crash testin'
Wearin' wool sunglasses in the afternoon
C'mon, tell us what you're trying to prove
It's a battle when you dabble in war
You stole it up,
Unleash it,
Then piece it together
Whether storm drain random, stamp it,
Send it to somebody pretendin to care
Just cash in your blanks
For little toy tanks
Learn how to use them and abuse them
and choose them over
Conversations, relationships,are overrated
i hated everyone said the sun
so will cook all your books
your too good lookin and mistooken
you could watch it instead from the comfort
of your burning beds
well you could sleep through the static

(chorus)
Well who needs sleep when we got love
and who needs keys when we've got clubs
and who needs police when we've got guns
we've gone beyond where we should've gone above
but beyond where we've should've gone
we went beyond where we should've gone

Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
i Thought about them too much
allowed them to touch
the feelings of rain down on the planes
all dried and cracked
waiting for things that never came
well such a shocking thing to make somebody think
they have to choose pushin for peace
suportin the troops
and either your weak
or you use brute force feed
truth is say not as we do
ya say anytime, anywhere
just show your teeth
and strike a fear
God wears camouflage
cries at night
and drives a dodge, pick up
the beat, stop hoggin the feast
thats no way to treat an enemy
Mighty, mighty appetite
we'll just em up
and keep on drivin'
freedom can't be freezed
take a picture from the pretty side
min d your manner
wave your banners
what a wonderful world this angle can see

(chorus)

Oh Jesus i love you and i love Buddha too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed
Why do people say
that there is just one way one to love you
God i come to you
we are all apart of you
is the universe your thought
you are and you are not
you are all and you are non
every end or just begun
Alright x3
I love you and Buddha too

Sons of vengeance, can you rescue me
They got me tied up to an old oak tree
They had me screamin' and alone in the night
I'm beginning to see what's wrong and what is right
What is wrong and what is right, oh, what is wrong and what is right

The gates was gettin' rusty, as we sailed into the dark
The stars were out and shinin' against the moonlit hour
The wolves were out and howlin', most of the time
And I was cold and shiverin' and bleedin' in the night
Bleedin' in the night, oh, bleedin' in the night

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

In the corner of the valley, we took him by surprise
The sound of steel rang loud, above the battle cries
I found her lying lifeless, dagger through her heart
I picked her up, and held her high, and I swore to be avenged
Swore to the best, oh swore to be avenged, oh

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

I had that record in the early 80s and used to play along to this song on guitar, but haven't heard it since then, so thank you for this link. Nice to hear it again! :)

"Hold On"

Music holds the secret, to know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes, it's the sounds inside your soul
The magic of the melody runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head like a dream (like a dream)
Like a dream

I sing this song for the common man, for the people in despair
I bring my song into the world and I sing it everywhere
The simple truth lies waiting here for everyone to share
So hold on and I will take you there
Hold on and I will take you there

The daily routine takes your soul, lost without a trace
It holds you down and turns you 'round and puts you in your place
Another day, another dollar, another pretty face
Another chance to lose yourself in the endless race

Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart, hold on to your dreams

Can't you feel the magic, feel it everywhere
Can't you hear the music, there's something in the air
There's a celebration deep within a song
Celebrate this feeling, you know it can't be wrong

Hold on, hold on to your dreams
Hold on, even though it seems
Everyone around you has their little schemes
Listen to your heart, hold on to your dreams

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Caught up in routine, you've got to break it
Time won't wait for us, we got to make it
Fate gives you the chance, you've got to take it
Take it

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

"Fight The Good Fight"

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines

Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay

The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart

Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way

All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can

You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head

Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay

Every moment of your lifetime
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay​

It is also very helpful when posting to ask the question of ourselves "who is this post for?". To consider whether we are posting mostly only for our own benefit, or for the benefit of others, the forum as a whole. As Timótheos reminded, the forum has clear guidelines and aims. Allowing the noise level to increase via silly posts and "one liners" is not part of the aim.
 
thankyou Timótheos and Alada for your help its appreciated
in light of what i was trying to say about this songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C9jJ2O79XI
if anyone who can and could spare the time to do an objective analysis on it
so that i might learn by seeing how it could be expressed, i would be thankful.
 
Hard Day on the Planet - Loudon Wainwright

I used to listen to this guy a lot back in the 80's. He has a sober (depressing?) take on most things, his song lyrics are often infused with black humour and morbid observations - or maybe he sees a lot of things as they really are? I recently discovered this offering which was written in the 90's - the content of which seems to be even more true and relevant today. Enjoy? :/


The dollar went down and the President sick
Whose in charge, now? I don't know, take your pick.
A new disease every day and the old ones are coming back
Things are looking kind of gray, like they're going to black

Don't turn on the TV, don't show me the paper
(I) don't want to know who got kidnapped or why they all raped her
I want to go on vacation till the pressure lets out
But they keep hijacking airplanes and blowing them up.

It's been a hard day on the planet
How much is it all worth?
Its getting harder to understand it
Things are tough all over on earth.

It's hot in December and cold in July
When it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky
In California the body counts keep getting higher
It's evil out there, man that state is always on fire.

Everyone has a system, but they can't seem to win
Even Bob Geldorf looks alarmingly thin
I wanna get on that shuttle an get out of this place
But there's gonna be warfare up there in outer space.

I've got clothes on my back and shoes on my feet
A roof over my head and something to eat
My kids are all healthy and my folks are alive
You know, it's amazing but sometimes I think I'll survive

I've got all of my fingers and all of my toes
I'm pretty well off I guess, I suppose
So how come I feel bad so much of the time?
A man ain't an island john Dunn wasn't lying

It's business as usual; some things never change
It's unfair, it's tough, unkind and it's strange
We don't seem to learn; an we can't seem to stop
Maybe some explosions would close up the shop

You know, maybe that would be fine: we would be off the hook
We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took
And it all would be over, finito, the end
Until the survivors started up all over again

An it'll be a hard day on the planet how much is it
All worth to you? It's gettin' harder to understand it
Things are tough all over on earth its true
