    I love that Cat stevens song. I had never heard it before. Thanks Restrangled

    And the goo doo dolls song was amazing; the lines

    But if you could hide beside me
    Maybe for a while
    And I won't tell no one your name
    And I won't tell em' your name

    make me think of this forum (or support group) whatever you call it.

    Thanks guys

    These Boots were Made for Walking - Nancy Sinatra

    These Boots Were Made For Walking Lyrics

    You keep saying you've got something for me.
    something you call love, but confess.
    You've been messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'
    and now someone else is gettin' all your best.

    These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
    one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

    You keep lying, when you oughta be truthin'
    and you keep losin' when you oughta not bet.
    You keep samin' when you oughta be changin'.
    Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet.

    These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
    one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

    You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin
    and you keep thinkin' that you?ll never get burnt.
    Ha! I just found me a brand new box of matches yeah
    and what he know you ain't HAD time to learn.

    Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!

    Crosby, Stills, Nash - "Long Time Gone"

    It's been a long time comin'
    It's goin' to be a long time gone.
    Appears to be a long time,
    Yes, a long, long, long time
    Before the dawn.
    Turn, turn any corner.
    Hear, you must hear what the people say,
    You know there's something that's goin' on here,
    That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day.

    Speak out, you got to speak out against
    The madness, you got to speak your mind,
    If you dare.

    It's been a long time comin',
    It's been a long time gone.
    But you know, the darkest hour,
    Is always just before the dawn.
    And it appears to be a long time,
    Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.

    James Hetfield from Metallica was raised as a Christian Scientist so his lyrics seem to hit a bit close as he was in another cult. I think his best lyrics for children who are leaving "the truth".

    Dyer's Eve

    Dear Mother
    Dear Father
    What Is this Hell You Have Put Me Through
    Believer
    Deceiver
    Day in Day out Live 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 Disapprove
    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 Clipped My Wings Before I Learnt to Fly
    Unspoiled
    Unspoken
    I've Outgrown That Fucking 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

    This is a new song but it fits

    Wilco~You Never Know

    Come on children
    You're acting like children
    Every generation thinks
    its the end of the world

    And all ya fat followers
    Get fit fast
    Every generation thinks it's the last
    thinks its the end of the world

    Yes dream down a well
    There's a lone heavy hell
    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore
    It's a feeling we transcend
    We're here at the end
    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore
    You never know

    Come on kids
    You're acting like children
    Act your age
    Put back the black metals and pearls
    All ya sword-swallowers pull yourselves together
    Every generation thinks its the worst
    Thinks it's the end of the world

    It's a secret I can't tell
    There's a wish down a well
    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore
    It's a long heavy hell
    Super-size it by 10
    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore
    You never know
    You never know

    It's a dear to transcend
    Everyone here, at the end

    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore
    I don't care anymore
    You never know

    From the musical "Sweet Charity"

    "There's gotta be something better than this,There's gotta be something better to do.
    And when I find me something better to do,
    I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out
    I'm gonna get up, get out and do it!
    There's gotta be some respectable trade,
    There's gotta be something easy to learn.
    And if I find me something I halfwit can learn,
    I'm gonna get up, I'm gonna get out
    I'm gonna get up, get out and learn it!"

    Then there was a Paul Simon song, "Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover"

    "You just slip out the back, Jack
    Make a new plan, Stan
    You don't need to be coy, Roy
    Just get yourself free
    Hop on the bus, Gus
    You don't need to discuss much
    Just drop off the key, Lee
    And get yourself free

    With deepest apologies to Paul Simon:

    50 Ways to Leave Your "Mother"

    The problem is all inside your head he said to me,
    The answer is easy if you take it logically.

    I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free,
    There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother."

    He said it's really not my habit to intrude,
    Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost
    or misconstrued.

    But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being rude,
    There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother......50 ways to leave your "Mother."

    Call Elderettes "bitch", Rich,
    Puff on a smoke, Bloke,
    Bring porn to the Hall, Paul.

    Grow your hair long, Wong,
    Show a little skin, Lyn,
    Get out of your cage, Page.

    Just get yourself free.

    Tinsel your tree, Lee,
    Wear a big Cross, Ross.
    Get a new tat, Matt.

    Please listen to me.

    Take blood to get well, Del,
    Say Satan's Da Man, Dan,
    Call the Pope "Boss", Josh.

    Stop preaching hate, Nate,
    and go out and mate.

    You'll get yourself free.

    He said "it grieves me so to see you in such pain,
    "I wish there was something I could do to make you
    smile once again."

    I said, "I would appreciate that
    and would you please explain?"

    He said, "why don't we both just sleep on it tonight?"
    "I believe that in the morning
    you'll begin to see the light",

    And then he hugged me and I realized
    he probably was right.

    There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother.....50 ways to leave your "Mother."

    Do fun things in bed, Ted,
    Like getting some head,
    That's what he said.

    Take a dump on the stage, Page,
    Send the Elders to hell, Belle,
    Give them some flack, Jack.

    No need to discuss much,
    Just get yourself free.

    The GB's a mess, Jess,
    They're sucking your blood, Jud,
    You can't play with your pud, Bud.

    Stop being blue, Sue,
    Please hear what I say.

    Salute that old Flag, Dag,
    Get drunk at a wake, Jake,
    Sing a Pagan Hymn, Jim,

    Get some spiked hair, Jer,
    Find a gay pal, Al,
    And act really scary, Gary.

    Your "Mother" will flee.

    Be proud of your nob, Bob,
    Dare to act sick, Rick,
    Just take her to bed, Fred.

    And then you'll be free.

    Just write your DA, Ray,
    and get a DF, Jeff,
    It's no time to play, Jay,

    Just do what I say.

    Tomorrow's a new day,
    So get yourself free.

    There must be 50 ways to leave your "Mother." 50 ways to leave your "Mother".....
