    For me this talks to the abusive relationships I've had, including my experiences with JW's when I got married, and my parents/family shunning me. It also speaks to my alcoholisim recovery.

    I'm Still Standing - Elton John

    You could never know what it's like,

    your blood like winter freezes just like ice.

    And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you,

    you'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use.

    And did you think this fool could never win?

    Well, look at me, I'm coming back again !

    I got a taste of love in a simple way,

    and if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away.

    Don't you know, I'm still standing better than I ever did,

    looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.

    I'm still standing after all this time,

    picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.

    I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

    I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

    Once I never could hope to win.

    you starting down the road, leaving me again.

    The threats you made were meant to cut me down,

    and if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now.

    Don't you know, I'm still standing better than I ever did,

    looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.

    I'm still standing after all this time,

    picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.

    I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

    I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

    i have two, too....'ruby tuesday' by the stones:

    She would never say where she came from
    Yesterday don?t matter if it?s gone
    While the sun is bright
    Or in the darkest night
    No one knows
    She comes and goes

    Goodbye, ruby tuesday
    Who could hang a name on you?
    When you change with every new day
    Still I?m gonna miss you...

    Don?t question why she needs to be so free
    She?ll tell you it?s the only way to be
    She just can?t be chained
    To a life where nothing?s gained
    And nothing?s lost
    At such a cost

    There?s no time to lose, I heard her say
    Catch your dreams before they slip away
    Dying all the time
    Lose your dreams
    And you will lose your mind.
    Ain?t life unkind?

    Goodbye, ruby tuesday
    Who could hang a name on you?
    When you change with every new day
    Still I?m gonna miss you...

    and 'killer queen' by queen

    She keeps Möet et Chandon
    in her pretty cabinet
    'Let them eat cake' she says
    Just like Marie Antoinette
    A built-in remedy
    for Khrushchev and Kennedy
    And anytime an invitation
    you can't decline

    Caviar and cigarettes
    well versed in etiquette
    Extraordinarily nice

    She's a killer queen
    --gunfight agility--
    Dynamite with a laser beam
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    Anytime.

    Recommended at the price
    Insatiable an appetite
    wanna try?

    To avoid complications
    She never kept the same address
    In conversation
    she spoke just like a baroness
    Met a man from China
    went down to Geisha Minah
    Then again incidentally
    if you're that way inclined (she's a
    killer queen)

    Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
    For cars she couldn't care less
    Fastidious and precise

    She's a killer queen
    --gunfight agility--
    Dynamite with a laser beam
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    Anytime

    Drop of a hat she's as willing as
    playful as a pussy cat
    Then momentarily out of action
    Temporarily out of gas
    To absolutely drive you wild, wild...
    She's all out to get you

    She's a killer queen
    --gunfight agility--
    Dynamite with a laser beam
    Guaranteed to blow your mind
    Anytime

    Recommended at the price
    Insatiable an appetite wanna try?

    You wanna try....

    Room At The Top
    By Tom Petty

    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I can see everything tonight
    I got a room where everyone
    Can have a drink and forget those things
    That went wrong in their life

    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    And I ain't comin' down, I ain't comin' down

    I got someone who loves me tonight
    I got over a thousand dollars in the bank
    And I'm all right
    Look deep in the eyes of love
    Look deep in the eyes of love
    And find out what you were looking for

    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    And I ain't comin' down, no I ain't comin' down

    I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
    You're so far away
    I wanna reach out and touch your heart
    Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
    Please love me, I'm not so bad
    And I love you so

    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    And I ain't comin' down, no I ain't comin' down
    I ain't comin' down

    Used to be Blasphemous Rumours by Depeche Mode. For the past couple years, it's been Walk On by U2...

    And love
    Is not the easy thing
    The only baggage
    That you can bring
    Not the easy thing
    The only baggage you can bring
    Is all that you can't leave behind

    And if the darkness is to keep us apart
    And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
    And if your glass heart should crack
    And for a second you turn back
    Oh no, be strong

    Walk on
    Walk on
    What you got, they can't steal it
    No they can't even feel it

    Walk on
    Walk on
    Stay safe tonight

    You're packing a suitcase for a place
    None of us has been
    A place that has to be believed
    To be seen

    You could have flown away
    A singing bird
    In an open cage
    Who will only fly
    Only fly for freedom

    Walk on
    Walk on
    What you got
    You can't deny it
    Can't sell it or buy it

    Walk on
    Walk on
    You stay safe tonight

    And I know it aches
    How your heart it breaks
    You can only take so much

    Walk on
    Walk on

    Home
    Hard to know what it is
    If you never had one

    Home
    I can't say where it is
    But I know I'm going

    Home
    That's where the hurt is

    And I know it aches
    And your heart it breaks
    You can only take so much
    Walk on

    Leave it behind
    You've got to leave it behind

    All that you fashion
    All that you make
    All that you build
    All that you break

    All that you measure
    All that you feel
    All this you can leave behind...

    Enormous Penis by DaVinci's Notebook

    When ever life gets you down,
    keeps you wearing a frown,
    and the gravy train has left you behind.
    And when you all out of hope.
    Down at the end of your rope,
    and nobody's there to throw you a line.
    If you ever get so low, that you don't know which way to go,
    come on and take a walk in my shoes.
    Never worry 'bout a thing, got the world on a string
    cause I've got the cure for all of my blues.

    I take a look at my enormous penis...
    and my troubles start melting away.
    I take a look at my enormous penis...
    and the happy times are coming to stay.

    I gotta sing and dance when I glance in my pants,
    and the feelings's like a sun-shiney day.
    I take a look at my enormous penis...
    and everything is going my way.

    (Whistling)
    (Scat singing)

    I take a look at my enormous penis...
    and my troubles start melting away.
    I take a look at my enormous penis...
    and the happy times are coming to stay.
    Yeah, I got great big amounts in the place where it counts
    and the feelings's like a sun-shiney day.

    I take a look at my enormous penis...
    and everything is going my way.
    (On Bob and Tom now)
    everything is going my way.
    (Hey Look at these goobers)
    everything is going my way.
    (Ei-chi-wawa)
    everything is going my waaaaaaaaaaay...... yum.

    Love Is The Answer

    by

    Todd Rundgren Name your price
    A ticket to paradise
    I can?t stay here any more
    And I?ve looked high and low
    I?ve been from shore to shore to shore
    If there?s a short cut I?d have found it
    But there?s no easy way around it

    Light of the world, shine on me
    Love is the answer
    Shine on us all, set us free
    Love is the answer

    Who knows why
    Someday we all must die
    We?re all homeless boys and girls
    And we are never heard
    It?s such a lonely world
    People turn their heads and walk on by
    Tell me, is it worth just another try?

    Tell me, are we alive, or just a dying planet?
    What are the chances?
    Ask the man in your heart for the answers

    And when you feel afraid, love one another
    When you?ve lost your way, love one another
    When you?re all alone, love one another
    When you?re far from home, love one another
    When you?re down and out, love one another
    All your hope?s run out, love one another
    When you need a friend, love one another
    When you?re near the end, love one another
    We got to love one another

    Light of the world, you got to shine
    Love will be a means, yeah, yeah
    Shine on us all
    Know that love can save the day
    Just give it one more chance
    Lord you just can?t let it stop lord
    Love is the answer
    Got to be free to let love into your life
    Let it shine

    "What A Fool Believes"- The Doobie Brothers w/Micheal McDonald

    He came from somewhere back in her long ago
    The sentimental fool don't see
    Tryin' hard to recreate
    What had yet to be created once in her life

    She musters a smile for his nostalgic tale
    Never coming near what he wanted to say
    Only to realize
    It never really was

    She had a place in his life
    He never made her think twice
    As he rises to her apology
    Anybody else would surely know
    He's watching her go
    But what a fool believes ... he sees
    No wise man has the power to reason away
    What seems ... to be
    Is always better than nothing
    And nothing at all keeps sending him ...

    Somewhere back in her long ago
    Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
    Someday, somewhere, she will return

    She had a place in his life
    He never made her think twice
    As he rises to her apology
    Anybody else would surely know
    He's watching her go

    But what a fool believes ... he sees
    No wise man has the power to reason away
    What seems ... to be
    Is always better than nothing
    There's nothing at all
    What seems ... to be
    Is always better than nothing
    There's nothing at all
    But what a fool believes he sees ...
    No wise man has the power to reason away
    What seems ... to be
    Is always better than nothing

    This song hit the radio (yes, Virginia, there was radio back in the day) about a week after my first serious girl dumped me on a cold, bright moonlit night. God that hurt... and it still does. Seems like I have had a few one sided love affairs over the years.

    I wish you well, Miss Patricia, God bless you wherever you are.

    MARATHON by RUSH

    It's not how fast you can go
    The force goes into the flow
    If you pick up the beat
    You can forget about the heat
    More than just survival
    More than just a flash
    More than just a dotted line
    More than just a dash

    It's a test of ultimate will
    The heartbreak climb uphill
    Got to pick up the pace
    If you want to stay in the race
    More than just blind ambition
    More than just simple greed
    More than just a finish line
    Must feed this burning need
    In the long run...

    [Chorus:]
    From first to last
    The peak is never passed
    Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes
    One moment's high, and glory rolls on by
    Like a streak of lightning
    That flashes and fades in the summer sky

    Your meters may overload
    You can rest at the side of the road
    You can miss a stride
    But nobody gets a free ride

    More than high performance
    More than just a spark
    More than just the bottom line
    Or a lucky shot in the dark
    In the long run...

    [Chorus]

    You can do a lot in a lifetime
    If you don't burn out too fast
    You can make the most of the distance
    First you need endurance
    First you've got to last...

    [Chorus]

    Artist: Lee Ann Womack
    Song: I Hope You Dance

    I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
    You get your fill to eat
    But always keep that hunger
    May you never take one single breath for granted
    God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
    I hope you still feel small
    When you stand by the ocean
    Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
    Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
    [my take on this is: faith in yourself - something that was totally discouraged for me]

    And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
    I hope you dance
    I hope you dance

    I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
    Never settle for the path of least resistance
    Living might mean taking chances
    But they're worth taking
    Lovin' might be a mistake
    But it's worth making
    Don't let some hell bent heart
    Leave you bitter
    When you come close to selling out
    Reconsider
    Give the heavens above
    More than just a passing glance

    And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
    I hope you dance
    (Time is a real and constant motion always)
    I hope you dance
    (Rolling us along)
    I hope you dance
    (Tell me who)
    I hope you dance
    (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
    (Where those years have gone)

    I hope you still feel small
    When you stand by the ocean
    Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
    Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

    And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
    Dance
    I hope you dance
    I hope you dance
    (Time is a real and constant motion always)
    I hope you dance
    (Rolling us along)
    I hope you dance
    (Tell me who)
    (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
    I hope you dance
    (Where those years have gone)

    (Tell me who)
    I hope you dance
    (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
    (Where those years have gone)
