I don't want to hurt you
For no reason have I but fear
And I ain't guilty of the crimes you accuse me of
But I'm guilty of fear
I'm sorry to remind
But I'm scared of what we're creating
This life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn now
Gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet
Like a long forgotten dream

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
But 'til then, I walk alone


Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone


'You'll Never Walk Alone' (Rogers and Hammerstein/Gerry and the Pacemakers)

All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
All they are is dust in the wind


Dust in the Wind - Kansas

And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind,
Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in..


'Candle In The Wind' (Elton John)

Tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet

It's raining men, every specimen
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean
God bless mother nature, she's a single woman too
She took off to heaven and she did what she had to do


It's Raining Men - Geri Halliwell

If you like piña colada, getting caught in the rain,
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain....

Escape (The Piña Colada Song) - Rupert Holmes

I took an IQ test
And I flunked it, of course
I can't spell VW
But I got a Porsche
Cause I'm a blonde!
B-L-I-N-D
'Cause I'm a blonde!
Don't you wish you were me?


'Cause I'm A Blonde - Julie Brown

Happy, happy birthday in a hot bath
To those nice, nice nights
I remember always, always
I got such a fright
Seeing them in my dark cupboard
With my great big cake

If they were me, if they were me
And I was you, and I was you
If they were me, if they were me
And I was you, and I was you
If they were me and I was you
Would you've liked a present too?


Happy Birthday (Altered Images)

Remember one Christmas I gave you Jim Carroll?
Intended it as a cautionary tale
You said you saw yourself inside there
Dog-eared it like a how-to manual

Remember one summer we walked in Times Square?
I showed you the zombies with hundred-inch stares
You took a BIC, set your hotel on fire
I took the blame, took our bags to the train

Happy Birthday, Johnny
Wherever you are



Happy Birthday Johnny -- St Vincent

When the mist's a-rising
And the rain is falling
And the wind is blowing cold across the moor
I hear the voice of my darlin'
The girl I loved and lost a year ago
Well it's hard to believe I know
But I hear her singing in the sighing of the wind
Blowin' in the tree tops way above me
Yes I'll always remember
Till the day I die
I'll hear her cry
Johnny remember me


Johnny Remember Me (John Leyton)





Did you ever see the film 'Telstar'?

High waving heather, 'neath stormy blasts bending,
Midnight and moonlight and bright shining stars;
Darkness and glory rejoicingly blending,
Earth rising to heaven and heaven descending,
Man's spirit away from its drear dongeon sending,
Bursting the fetters and breaking the bars.

All down the mountain sides, wild forest lending
One mighty voice to the life-giving wind;
Rivers their banks in the jubilee rending,
Fast through the valleys a reckless course wending,
Wider and deeper their waters extending,
Leaving a desolate desert behind.

Shining and lowering and swelling and dying,
Changing for ever from midnight to noon;
Roaring like thunder, like soft music sighing,
Shadows on shadows advancing and flying,
Lightning-bright flashes the deep gloom defying,
Coming as swiftly and fading as soon.


The Unthanks - High Waving Heather

*Lyrics are a poem by Emily Brontë

I couldn't find the song on YouTube but here's The Unthanks preparing for their Brontë compilation:



and here's another of Emily's poems by The Unthanks, played using her piano

When the day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

When things get you down, just remember....
