When all the leaves
Have fallen and turned to dust,
Will we remain
Entrenched within our ways?
Indifference,
The plague that moves throughout this land
Omen signs
In the shapes of things to come.
Tomorrow’s child is the only child
Dead Can Dance, Severance
An’ wouldn’t it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Knoxville
With the Memphis blues again
When winter comes with snow and sleet
And me with hunger and cold feet
Who says, “Here’s twenty-five cents,
go ahead and get somethin’ to eat,
go on why doncha”?
Nobody!
Bert Williams, Nobody
My sacrifice bids farewell in this river of memory… a wave to end all time
Red birds escape from my wounds and return as falling snow
To sweep the landscape; a wind haunted, wings without bodies
The snow, the bitter snowfall
Agalloch, The Falling Snow
And it’s no sacrifice
Just a simple word
It’s two hearts living
In two separate worlds
But it’s no sacrifice
No sacrifice
It’s no sacrifice at all
Elton John, Sacrifice
Look into your heart. You will find
There’s nothin’ there to hide.
Take me as I am; take my life.
I would give it all, I would sacrifice.
Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for;
I can’t help it, there’s nothin’ I want more.
You know it’s true.
Everything I do,
I do it for you.
Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
-“BB”-
Everybody is Kung Fu fighting,
Your mind becomes fast as lightning
Although the future is a little bit frightening
(Little bit frightening)
It’s the book of your life that you’re writing
(Life that you’re writing)
Kung Fu Fighting: Jack Black, Lo Green
Can’t we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other’s heart
Tearing each other apart
The Carpenters
Is it an horrific dream
Am I sinking fast
Could a person be so mean
As to laugh and laugh
On my own
Could you ease my load
Could you see my Pain
Could you please explain
The Hurting
Tears For Fears
Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough
Nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love Hurts
Everly Brothers
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It’s gonna make you cry
I’ve had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
J. Geils Band - Love Stinks

In the Temple of Love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lover’s eyes
In the Temple of Love, shine like thunder
In the Temple of Love, cry like rain
In the Temple of Love, hear my calling
In the Temple of Love, hear my name
And the Temple of Love
Is falling down
–The Sisters of Mercy
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls
-Rush
The keeper of the city keys
Puts shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrim’s door
With insufficient schemes
The black queen chants the funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch
To the court of the crimson king
King Crimson
Yeah, my mind’s such a sweet thing
I wanna do everything, what a beautiful feeling
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Crimson and clover, over and over
Tommy James & the Shondells
Last spring they called you the hyacinth girl
We laughed and left no regrets
The seasons have blown out all yesterday’s curls
And now it’s time to forget
The green days have blown away
Flown away, blown away
We mustn’t forget those three months hiding
–Winter Hours
I will never love you
The cost of love’s too dear
But though I’ll never love you
I’ll stay with you one year
And we can sing in the sunshine
We’ll laugh every day
We’ll sing in the sunshine
Then I’ll be on my way
Gale Garnett
Sunshine go away today
I don’t feel much like dancin’
Some man’s gone, he’s tried to run my life
He don’t know what he’s askin’
Jonathan Edwards
I’ve traveled the land
With a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I’ve made some mistakes
Had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum
Run for home run as fast as I can
Oh-oh running man running for home
Run for home run as fast as I can
Oh-oh running man running for home
Run for Home: Lindisfarne
Dried up, a guitar upon my knee
I should have sold out when the devil came for me
I dig a hole and throw it out to sea
Break the code, how happy I could be
I still wave at the dots on the shore
And I still beat my head against the wall
I still rage and wage my little war
I’m a shade and easy to ignore
