FORGET ABOUT THE MOON

forget about me
forget about you
forget all those pretty things
we were gonna do

forget about the moon
forget about the stars
forget about forever
we’ve already come too far

forget about the times
you lay by my side
forget how I thought you’d be
there all my life

forget about those dreams
they’re just castles in the sky
forget all those plans we made
lying awake at night

forget about the moon…

forget about me
forget about you
forget all those pretty things
we were gonna do

Thelma Lou

Thelma Lou

The day that he came back to town
he thought he’d be seein’ you around
he thought he could pick it up where he put it down

but he thought he’d treat you right this time
just like he dreamed about each night
just like he prayed he have the brains to do this time
—-
Now, he’ll never know why he ever let go
of you thelma lou
he dreamed he’d make it right
but none of those dreams ever did come true
and now he just dreams of you
it will always be thelma lou
nothing anyone can do
it will always be dreams of you
thelma lou [what else can he do]
——-
Now he was just a nothing way back then
and he couldn’t believe how you could pretend
not to care about all the things that you’d never have if you stayed with him

He pushed himself hard to get ahead
but then he woke up one day in an empty bed
and he looked in the mirror and he realized the years and you had fled
—————–
Well he always thought he’d get one last chance
but all he got was one last dance
as your fiance watched from across the crowded room

He held you so close like he didn’t care
it was like no-body else in the world was there
and still it was too late for him to say “I love you”

Kingdom of Fools

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Aint No Such Thing
As Too High To Fall
aint no place so low
you cant get there
if you crawl

Aint no bro’
so close you can’t play him down
’cause in the kingdom of Fools
only one can wear the crown

Ain’t no truth so pure
you can’t turn it to a lie
ain’t no love so deep
you can’t drain it ’til it’s dry

ain’t no flower so pretty
you cant crush it to the ground
in the Kingdom of Fools
only one can wear the crown

Aint no lie
that can ever make you see the truth
and your life til now
just so much living proof

Ain’t no one but you
can keep you from where you’re bound
‘Cause in the Kingdom of Fools
Only one can wear the crown

A Girl Named October

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

A GIRL NAMED OCTOBER

I couldn’t help fall
for a girl named October
her eyes like the sky
when the day’s almost over

her voice like a song
you almost remember
from some other life
some other forever

Why did I lie
why did I say — I didn’t love her
I knew just what that meant
I knew right there and then
that it was over…

Ten thousand times
I thought that I might see her
a million nights I lay awake
and remembered

ten billion stars
go on forever
and not one chance
we could stay together

Why did I lie
why did I say — I didn’t love her
I knew just what that meant
I knew right there and then
that it was over…

So, How Does It Look from the Stars?

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I’ve been up to your penthouse but
I ay ay ay
I was a-fraid to look down

I been all around the world but I’m
only at home on my
own side of town

I’ve been up all night
tryin’ to fi-ind
the ri-ight way to come down

I been inside out
and I know all about
the emptiness all around

everything happens for reasons
but we never get to find out what they are
from way down here it all looks pretty big
so how does it look from the stars

you laid it all out
and I wanted so much
to just pick up
what you put down

I can taste it right now
but still somehow
i’ve finally found the power to shine on

everything happens for reasons
but we never get to find out what they are
from way down here it all looks pretty big
so how does it look from the stars

Who’ll Stop Lorraine?

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Who’ll Stop Lorraine?

I’ve known Lorraine since we were kids
and I’ve always been amazed
Every time she went too damn far I thought
Who’ll stop Lorraine?
I saw her hunt down that family man
he was doomed from that first day
I saw her rip his heart into little tiny shreds and I thought,
Who’ll stop Lorraine?

From the hotel bar to the airport lounge
Everyone knows her name
Over and over I ask myself,
Who’ll Stop Lorraine?

Finally one day I’d had enough
I sat her down looked her in the eye
Lorraine I love you, girl, but straighten up,
’cause, Lorraine, you’re wreckin’ people’s lives

From the hotel bar to the airport lounge
Everyone knows your name
Over and over they ask themselves,
Who’ll Stop Lorraine?

I never thought Id see a tear in her eye
I never thought I’d see into her soul
but since that day she’s come so damn far
God I’ve come to love that girl so

[last ch]  From the hotel bar to the airport lounge
Everyone knows her name
Over and over they ask themselves,
Whatever became of Lorraine?

Enslaved by an Angel (‘old’ wrong chords listed below)
[bm d g g / bm a g g / bm d g g / bm g a a]
Enslaved by an angel
I never knew a thing
I strode across continents
Now I cower beneath her wing

rejects:

[d bm c a x2]
When I saw you
I knew it was over
I just surrendered
I knew it was better

[We lie there together
I’ll break the spell never
I’ll look into your eyes
[un]til the last bit of forever
(until the last in’stant of forever)]

your eyes go forever
I’ll break the spell never
til the 31st of Never
we’ll lie here together

verse 2?
what do you do
when you know your love is true
I never thought I’d do
the things you make me do

 

I Slept with Your Sister

Am C G G
I slept with your sister
cause I couldn’t have you
She was younger she was prettier
and she wanted me, too

F C G G
we rolled and we tumbled
all night long
and when the phone rang
just before dawn
F C F C
It was you on the line
from the phone downstairs
maybe you were lonely
maybe you were scared
F C G G
and maybe I’ll never know
why you were there

I slept with your sister
’cause I couldnt have you
she was younger she was prettier
but it didn’t ring true

we rolled and we tumbled
all night long
and when the phone rang
just before dawn

It was you on the line
from the phone downstairs
maybe you were lonely
maybe you were scared
and maybe I’ll never know
why you were there

Neither one listen that’ll be just fine

I use to play music now download swappin’s all I do

Didn’t I see you
on the bulletin board
You were waving your T1
and lookin’ to score
You had the PfP
Download cheater’s blues

Y’ offered two whole pages
for just one song
you seemed kind of desperate
seemed like something was wrong
You had the PFP
Download cheater’s blues

You said I.S. was on your trail
they were sniffin your packets
like a hound after quail
You got the PfP

And you thought chart position
was the only thing that you had to lose.

[bridge]
I used to write songs I don’t do that no more
Now I spend all my time on the bulletin boards
With crazy vampires, psychos and more
just swappin those downloads and bumpin the score
I used to love music and I listened all day
Now I ripped out my speakers and threw them away
Cause there’s swappin to do and there’s stations to play
I got 5000 songs to download to day

Spent all night on the DSL
downloadin music straight to hell
I got the PfP
Download cheater’s blues
I’ll download your page you stream mine
Neither one listen that’ll be just fine
I got the PfP

Scrapin’ the Bottom of Yesterday’s Bucket Again

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Well I’m scraping the bottom of yesterday’s bucket again
I wore out my memories and then I just played them to shreds
I’ll spend my tomorrows my head bent in sorrow
my heart torn with pain and regret
And all the same it’s my same old refrain:
I swear I won’t be-gin again

and everyone says
just put it to bed
it all worked out for the best
but how could they know
that I love you so
and I won’t stop til I’m dead

I gave up forever I gave up tomorrow
for good
I gave up thinkin’ I could pull it together
I never could
I gave up on new love
I gave up on hope I gave up on faith
but never on ghosts
And I gave up thinkin’
I could ever begin again
— I won’t begin again…
