Come on everybody...sing your favorite song!!!

[PetePan]

Oh the snowflakes fell in silence
Over Belleau Wood that night
For a Christmas truce had been declared
By both sides of the fight
As we lay there in our trenches
The silence broke in two
By a German soldier singing
A song that we all knew

Though I did not know the language
The song was Silent Night
Then I heard my buddy whisper
"All is calm and all is bright"
Then the fear and doubt surrounded me
For I'd die if I was wrong
But I stood up in my trench
And I began to sing along

Then across the frozen battle field
Anothers voice joined in
Til one by one each man became
A singer of the hymn

Then I thought that I was dreaming
For right there in my sight
Stood the German soldier
Neath the falling flakes of white
Then he raised his hand and smiled at me
As if he seemed to say
Here's hoping we both live to see us
Find a better way

Then the Devil's clock struck midnight
And the skies lit up again
And the battle field where Heaven stood
Was blown to Hell again

But for just one fleeting moment
The answer seemed so clear
Heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's just beyond your fears

No Heaven's not beyond the clouds
It's for us to find here.

Oh the snowflakes fell in silence
Over Belleau Wood that night
For a Christmas truce had been declared...

This song always brings a tear to my eye. Very nice choice.

"I Think I'm Going To Kill Myself"

I'm getting bored
Being part of mankind
There's not a lot to do no more
This race is a waste of time

People rushing everywhere
Swarming around like flies
Think I'll buy a forty four
Give them all a surprise

Think I'm gonna kill myself
Cause a little suicide
Stick around for a couple of days
What a scandal if I died

Yeah I'm gonna kill myself
Get a little headline news
I'd like to see what the papers say
On the state of teenage blues

A rift in my family
I can't use the car
I gotta be in by ten o'clock
Who do they think they are

I'd make an exception
If you want to save my life
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
And see me every night

 

[PetePan]

I was just fifteen and out of control
Lost to James Dean and rock n roll
I knew down deep in my country soul
That I had to get away

Hollywood was the lady in red
Who danced in my dreams as I tossed in bed
I knew I'd wind up in jail or dead
If I had to stay

I thought happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
My mama kept calling me home but I just did not wanna hear her
And the vision was getting clearer in my dreams

So I let out one night in June
Stoned on the glow of a Texas moon
Humming an old Buddy Holly tune called Peggy Sue(pretty pretty Peggy Sue)
With my favorite jeans and a cheap guitar
I ran off chasing a distant star
If Buddy Holly could make it this far then
I figured I could too

I thought happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
My mama kept calling me home but I just did not wanna hear her
And the vision was getting clearer in my dreams

But the Hollywood moon didn't smile the same old smile that I'd grown up with
And the lady in red just wanted my last dime

So I cried myself to sleep at night
Too dumb to run too scared to fight
And too proud to admit it at the time

So I got me some gigs on Saturday nights
Not much more than orchestrated fights
I'd come home drunk and I'd try to right
But the words came out wrong

Hell bent and bound for a wasted youth
Too much gin and not enough vermuth
And no one to teach me how to seek the truth
Before I put it in a song

I thought happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
My mama kept calling me home but I just could not would not hear her
And the vision was getting clearer in my dreams

Now I thank God each and everyday
For giving me the music and the words to say
I'd have never made it any other way
He was my only friend

And now I sleep a little better at night
And when I look in the mirror in the morning light
The man I see was both wrong and right
I'm going home to stay

I thought happiness was Lubbock Texas in my rearview mirror
But happiness was Lubbock Texas growing nearer and dearer
And the vision was getting clearer in my dreams
And I think I finally know just what it means

And when I die
You can bury me
In Lubbock Texas
In my jeans

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arrive

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arrive
You were only waiting for this moment to arrive
You were only waiting for this moment to arrive

I'll change for you.
I'll change for you.
I'll change for you.
I'll turn night into day.

An' I'll change for you. (I don't care what the books say.)
I'll change for you. (I don't care what my friends say.)
I'll change for you,
An' I won't make you pay.

'Cause everything reminds me of you.
A baby's feet, an old man's smile.
Silent scream and lover's cry,
Till I can't do nothing,

But change for you. (An' all the rules that were lies.)
I'll change for you. (I sit an' watch while they burn.)
I'll change for you.
I'll be all that you need.

'Cause everything reminds me of you.
A baby's feet, an old man's smile.



Silent scream and lover's cry,
Till I can't do nothing.
But change for you.

Instrumental break.

I'll lie by your side an' whisper your name.
I'll clock all your dreams and knock over rails.
I'll let go my past, write your name in my skin.
I'll travel through time to love you again.

An' I'll change for you. (I'll just wait for you wherever.)
I'll change for you. (An' watch you lean back too much.)
I'll change for you.
I'll turn night into day.

I'll change for you. (An' I'll give it my best.)
I'll change for you. (An' I won't stop till you rest.)
I'll change for you.
An' I won't make you pay.

you know you're stunning
absolutely stunning
and I'm running always running

and now I'm crying
you know only cause I'm caring
and if you were more daring maybe you'd stop staring
and come over and talk to me
and tell me about how you've been waiting patiently
and how you tried but I just turned away
and I'll say, "yeah well you know, I'm shy that way"

shy that way
shy that way
maybe I'm shy that way

you know she's stunning
she's absolutely stunning
but she's always running
but ill catch up to her...

the way she keeps her distance
keepin my interest
so ill keep it consistent

maybe someday, someway, somehow, sometime
we'll get together and we'll break it down
and I'll ask, "why you gotta be so shy, why you gotta be that way?"
well maybe, baby, I like it that way

shy that way
maybe I, like it shy that way
maybe I love you so shy that way

Ok, I'm shy that way...

there's always too much talking
and I wanna just keep walking
and I keep staring, baby, keep staring
though I may not know the right things to say
I'll get it out to you one day

shy that way
shy that way

do you like it? do you like it when I'm shy
yes I like it, yes I like it, when your shy

shy that way

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man.
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key,
So they rode on ahead on their furry donkey.

The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
They tried, tried, tried.
They dropped things on his back,
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.

The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
They tried, tried, tried.
They dropped things on his back
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping.
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.

 

[PetePan]

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eye
Thought that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

Watch out, I'm just a jealous guy
Look out babe, I'm just a jealous guy

 

[PetePan]

I can only give you love that lasts forever
And a promise to be near each time you call
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all, That's all

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall
And a love who's burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all, That's all

There are those I'm sure who have told you
They would give you the world for a toy
All I have are these arms to enfold you
And a love even time can't destroy

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return dear
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small
Say it's me that you'll adore for now and evermore
That's all, That's all

Just the other day
I was walking by myself
Little kids at play
Old man talking to himself
I went outside to get a drink
Sat down by the door to think
Out of the corner of my eye
Caught a glimpse of the Superspy
When he saw me look his way
He jumped down that alleyway

Then I saw that man
In his black suit and Caddilac
S__________' on a lollipop

Next night I went on a date
Runnin' to the movies late
I recognized that coat and hat
Puffin' on a cigarette
Cruisin' my house
Buggin' my phone
When will I be left alone?
Why's he following me?
Everywhere I go
Superspy goes

Then I saw that man
In his black suit and Caddilac
S__________' on a lollipop
Why's he following me?
Everywhere I go
Superspy I see

 

[stitch rocks]

Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I've become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know?
How did you know?

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me

(You found me)
(When no one else was lookin')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
And the things in between
You found me
You found me

Modified "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life for Me" Lyrics

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

We smell, we stink, we all need a bath,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
But say that we're smelly and you'll feel our wrath,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

We're sexist, we're racist, we lack in tact,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We tried holding jobs but were instantly sacked,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.We cheat on our taxes, stay up all night,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
Too dumb to debate, we'd rather just fight,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

We smoke, we spit, we drink to excess,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
The first guys with earrings, what's next, a dress?
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

We started out good, but ended up bad,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
A big disappointment to Mommy and Dad,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Won't you come see about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out
love's strange: so real in the dark
Think of the tender things
That we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When will I get any of your heart, baby?

Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

Will you stand above me
Look my way,but never love me
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me
Call my name or walk on by me
Rain keeps falling
Rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Don't you try and pretend
It's my beginning
We'll win in the end
I won't harm you
Or touch your defences
Vanity, insecurity

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll build us back together at heart, baby


Don't you forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you forget about me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name
As you walk on by
Will you call my name
When you walk away


Oh, will you walk away
Will you walk on by
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford them
But last year I went and bought myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured 'em

I took out a policy against fire and theft
Then I hurried on home
With a fifty cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed him my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames

They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked 'em one by one

Two weeks later this detective shows up
And tells me that company's pressing charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four seperate counts of arson

And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin' back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some ten cent cigars
And I smoke 'em one by one
Yeah I smoke 'em one by one

Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

Well, they thought that I was fast a sleepin'
They thought that I was tucked in bed
They never figured I'd come a creepin'
Or that I'd hear what was said
Santa put his arm around Mama
And Mama put her arm around him
So if Santa Claus ain't Daddy
Well then I'm gonna tell on him

Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

I never saw Dancer, Prancer
I never heard the sleigh bells ring
I never saw a red-nosed reindeer
Like They show on the tv screen
But he sure brought lots of presents
So Santa Claus he must have been
Well he sure looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

Well, Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him
It's not the way I had him pictured
Santa was much too thin
He didn't come down the chimney
So Mama must have let him in
Santa looked a lot like Daddy
Or Daddy looked a lot like him

I used to think she was the greatest thing
I really cared, gave her a diamond ring
She said she'd rather die than ever leave me
Well I never saw her face since then
And if the law don't get her then I will-
Four little diamonds

She must be somewhere on the open road
She always said she was a lonely one
She gets you down with her tales of woe
She took me for everything
And if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds

I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone with the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things we'd done
But where could she run- she ran away
There's just no answer to give

I keep wonderin' about her, day and night
She probably thinks I was a fool- she's right
She don't know it
But I'm gonna keep on searchin' for that woman
I'm gonna search everywhere
And if the law don't get her then I will
Four little diamonds


I looked around I climbed up high into the dawn
But she was gone with the night
I thought about the things she said
And all the things we'd done
But where could she run- she ran away
There's just no answer to give

I still hear her callin' out to me,
I still listen for her endlessly
But it never even crossed my mind she was a cheater
I gotta find where she hides
'Cause if the law don't get her then I will -
Four little diamonds

 

[speck76]

If you leave, dont leave now
Please dont take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our seperate ways
We always had time on our side
Now it's fading fast
Every second, every moment
We've got to, we've gotta make it last

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I wont let go at any price
I need you now like i needed you then
Always said we'd still be friends someday

If you leave i wont cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave, no dont look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Our time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now you've gotta
You've gotta say you will

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I wont let go at any price
I need you now like i needed you then
Always said we'd still be friends someday
Someday

I touch you once, I touch you twice
I wont let go at any price
I need you now like i needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday
Oh, if you leave

Oh, if you leave
Oh, if you leave (oh tell me now you wont leave)
Oh, if you leave (oh tell me now you wont leave)
Please dont leave
