This artist has had more of an influence upon me and whom I've become than he could possibly imagine.

STING - When We Dance

If he loved you Like I love you I would walk away in shame I'd move town I'd change my name When he watches you When he counts to buy your soul On your hand his golden rings Like he owns a bird that sings When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings The priest has said my soul's salvation Is in the balance of the angels And underneath the wheels of passion I keep the faith in my fashion When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings I'm still in love with you [I'm gonna find a place to live Give you all I've got to give] When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings If I could break down these walls And shout my name at heaven's gate I'd take these hands And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate Cathedrals are broken Heaven's no longer above And hellfire's a promise away I'd still be saying I'm still in love He won't love you Like I love you He won't care for you this way He'll mistreat you if you stay Come and live with me We'll have children of our own I would love you more than life If you'll come and be my wife When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings I'm gonna love you more than life If you will only be my wife I'm gonna love you more than life If you will only be my wife I'm gonna love you night and day I'm gonna try in every way (I had a dream last night I dreamt you were by my side Walking with me baby My heart was filled with pride I had a dream last night)

Metallica - Dyers Eve Lyrics

Dear mother Dear father What is this hell you have put me through Believer Deceiver Day and day out I lived my life through you Pushed onto me what's wrong or right Hidden from this thing that they call life Dear mother Dear father Every thought I'd think you'd disapproved Curator Dictator Always censoring my every move Children are seen but are not heard Tear out everything inspired Innocence Torn from me without your shelter Barred reality I'm living blindly Dear mother Dear father Time has frozen still what's left to be Hear nothing Say nothing Cannot face the fact I think for me No guarantee, it's life as is But damn you for not giving me my chance Dear mother Dear father You've clipped my wings before I learned to fly Unspoiled Unspoken I've grown that f**king lullaby Same thing I've always heard from you Do as I say not as I do Innocence Torn from me without your shelter Barred reality I'm living blindly I'm in hell without you Cannot cope without you two Shocked at the world that I see Innocent victim please rescue me Dear mother Dear father Hidden in your world you've made for me I'm seething I'm bleeding Ripping wounds in me that never heal Undying spite I feel for you Living out this hell you always knew

"Stand to the Side"

Go right to left, left to right

Middle passage connection

Yeah, about to build

Tell you which way to go

We go right to left, left to right

If you fight to the death, what's left to fight

X4

Yo, here we go

I wanna write away

I wanna write here

I wanna write brave words to fight fear

Write dreams and nightmares

Might scare the folks stuck in the day

With nothing to say,

While I'm way ahead by light years

So beware and keep the lights on

I wanna write the songs that right the wrong

Right on

Riding the light so you see in the dark

So deep you gotta be still like your beating heart

My words apply the pressure to make the bleeding stop

I see the art, of living right, eating smart

I wanna right to life, a right to death

Police read your rights from right to left

But I never write to remain silent

I fight through police line

Cops walk the beat that I write to

I teach minds, write rhymes with the right sound

Right now, journalists write up

I write down

Party people put a hand in the sky

Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry

We wet it up, go ask the people if they plannin to die

Can't stay to live, consumers is plannin to buy

Slow death operators is standing by

They take you order for the slaughter of the family why

Do they make it so hard for a man to provide

You better get wit it, or {stand to the side X7}

And the story line goes on

Right to left, who's right who's wrong

Fuck the politics and pride

I just to try to stay alive

To witness where the battle lines are drawn

Speak my mind and sing my song

I'm passin on the moral y'all

This is ain't play

True, you got to know the way

It's hard now

Open eyes

See hopeful lives

Sing it now

Making my way through life

Talking to elders and taking advice

Ignoring their words and paying the price

Living in the world where false preachers got us praying to christ

Get with the young girls in the choir and laying the pipe

No control of our soul we all wait at the light

So comfortable they we hating to fight to make it right

Late at night I'm controlled by the DJ on the mic

I love hip-hop and every joint he playing is tight

A day in the life is a brick in the foundation I'm like

A mason in Egypt amazing when I'm creating a site

For the world to behold and the story to last

So one day ghetto children can visit their glorious past

After Pac and Notorious passed, what do we have?

people worth more when they dead, it's so sad

Started with the slavery we finish the plan

But I broke the cycle, and became a man

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhileAmong the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

There are just too many songs, too many artists.
Here's a Pink Floyd tune that I like. I only heard it a few years ago. I love good poetry.
Wish You Were Here
Lyrics: Roger Waters
Music: Roger Waters

A Pink Floyd song played by Phil & Friends
So you think, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead roll in a cage

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Let's hear yer favorite dance music!!! Come on, ya party animals! Clap yer hands!!!..........mmmmm, yer lookin' good!.....

Just take those old records off the shelf 

 I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself 

 Today's music ain 't got the same soul 

 I like that old time rock 'n' roll 

 Don't try to take me to a disco 

 You'll never even get me out on the floor

 In ten minutes I'll be late for the door 

 I like that old time rock'n' roll 


 Still like that old time rock'n' roll 

 That kind of music just soothes the soul 

 I reminisce about the days of old 

 With that old time rock 'n' roll 

 Won't go to hear them play a tango 

 I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul 

 There's only sure way to get me to go 

 Start playing old time rock 'n' roll 

 Call me a relic, call me what you will 

 Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill 

 Today's music ain't got the same soul 

 I like that old time rock 'n' roll 


 Still like that old time rock'n' roll 

 That kind of music just soothes the soul 

 I reminisce about the days of old 

 With that old time rock 'n' roll

Dancin' in the Streets

Calling out around the world,are you ready for a brand new beat.

Summer's here and the time is right,for dancing in the streets,

They're dancing in Chicago

Down in New Oreleans

Up in New york city

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere.

There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing, dancing in the streets,

It doesnt matter what hat you wear, just as long as you are there,

So come on

Grab a guy, grab a girl, everywhere around the world.

There'll be dancing,dancing in the streets.

Its just an invitation,across the nation, a chance for folks to meet.

There'll be laughing and singing,music swinging, dancing in the streets

All we need is music, sweet music

There'll be music everywhere.

There'll be swinging, swaying, records playing, dancing in the streets,

It doesnt matter what hat you wear, just as long as you are there,

So come on

Grab a guy, grab a girl, everywhere around the world.

Dancing, dancing in the streets,

Way down in LA, everyday, dancing in the streets

San Francisco way, they do it everyday now,

Dancing in the streets

Tom Waits has probably done more for me than any other musician and poet. for some reason. he rocks me hard right down to my feet.
My head is spinning round, my heart is in my shoes, yeah
I went and set the Thames on fire, oh, now I must come back down
She's laughing in her sleeve boys, I can feel it in my bones
Oh, but anywhere I'm gonna lay my head, I'm gonna call my home

Well I see that the world is upside-down
Seems that my pockets were filled up with gold
And now the clouds, well they've covered over
And the wind is blowing cold
Well I don't need anybody, because I learned, I learned to be alone
Well I said anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I lay my head, boys
Well I gonna call my home
i have also been moved by ray lamontagne lately:
All the wild horses
All the wild horses
Tethered with tears in their eyes
May no man's touch ever tame
May no man's reigns ever chain you
And may no man's weight ever defrayed your soul
And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away
As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away

Bob Dylan - All Along the Watchtower
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Get Up Stand Up

by Bob Marley

Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right (3 times)
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
Preacher man don't tell me heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know what life is really worth
Is not all that glitters in gold and
Half the story has never been told
So now you see the light, aay
Stand up for your right. Come on
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
(Repeat)
Most people think great God will come from the sky
Take away ev'rything, and make ev'rybody feel high
But if you know what life is worth
You would look for yours on earth
And now you see the light
You stand up for your right, yeah!
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
Get Up, Stand Up. Life is your right
So we can't give up the fight
Stand up for your right, Lord, Lord
Get Up, Stand Up. Keep on struggling on
Don't give up the fight
We're sick and tired of your ism and skism game
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name, Lord
We know when we understand
Almighty God is a living man
You can fool some people sometimes
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
We gonna stand up for our right
So you'd better get up, stand up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight
Get Up, Stand Up, stand up for your right
Get Up, Stand Up, don't give up the fight.
