yeah I'm afraid, whadaya want from me, whadaya want from me
there might have been a time when I'd give myself away
once upon a time I didn't give a damn
but now here we are
so whadaya want from me, whadaya want from me

he messed me up, need a second to breathe
clarkee - was gonna be "mandy" but that would've been toooooooo predictable!!! i quite like the idea of feathers in my hair, but not sure what a "dress cut down to there" is!!!! lol x
Mandy, the feathers etc. It does conjure up a rather pleasent image!. Dont suppose you would care to enlighten us, on the firearms incident though, would you?. x
that Rico was a bad 'un & poor Tony paid the price for loving Lola - its all in the lyrics Clarkee -
"music and passion were always the fashion"
and
"talking Havana have a banana" - pure poetry (Dylan couldn't come up with such quality!!)
To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not goTo right the unrightable wrong To love pure and chaste from afar To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest To follow that star No matter how hopeless No matter how far To fight for the right Without question or pause To be willing to march into Hell For a heavenly cause And I know if I'll only be true To this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm When I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star
Made all the better by the advert in which honda used the song as it starts he comes out of a caravan the first bike he gets on was my first bike at the age of three
Trix
You were lucky to have a bike at 3 years old. My 1st bike was the 2nd one, the honda step through, but I had to wait until I was 17 and it cost me new £92 including full comp and road tax.
The songs good by the way.
Sitting alone in the cold of the nightYou're trying to find what you need to surviveSo afraidYou can't go onLeft to the silence that tears at your heartIt only reminds you how broken you areYou lost your wayHope is not goneCause the sun always setsThe moon always fallsIt feels like the endJust pay no mind at allKeep rollingRollingLife must go onDo you remember and long for the pastWhen love was eternal and joy seemed to lastYesterdayForever is goneCause the sun always setsThe moon always fallsIt feels like the endJust pay no mind at allKeep rollingRollingLife must go onIt must go onWe have our misfortunesThe darkest of daysBut we must endureAnd keep strongJust look the morningThe promise awaitsAnd know that this life must go onAnd the sun always setsThe moon always fallsIt feels like the endJust pay no mind at allKeep rollingRollingLife must go onAnd the sun always setsThe moon always fallsIt feels like the endJust pay no mind at allKeep rollingRollingLife must go onIt must go onLife must go onLife must go on(When you feel you're away)
So you keep holding onKeep holding on(We all have our mistakes)Life must go onLife must go onSo you keep holding onKeep holding on
i'm a bitch , i'm a lover
i'm a child , i'm a mother
i'm a sinner , i'm a saint
i do not feel ashamed
i'm your hell , i'm your dream
i'm nothing in between
you know you wouldn't want it any other way
