Just Another Story

Dear Heart icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 10 from the Night Life LP by Thin Lizzy icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Thin Lizzy's "Night Life" album cover. [Formatted]

The man with the broken heart filled with lead
He suffered and he fought for what he believed in
The fighting is over now, the man is dead
A martyr for the cause

Dear heart
I wish that you could see
Dear heart
You mean the world to me

The man with the golden arm, his face has gone pale
He has taken too much junk
He has gone over the rails

He breathes out a sigh and his body wails
He is gonna land in trouble
He is going to land in jail

He would give his life
He would give his everything
To reach his goal and take that last and final fling

But I guess it’s just another story in the greatest story ever told

Dear heart
I wish that you could see
Dear heart
You mean the world to me

Wish Away Each Day

Sentimental icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 04 from the Fear of a Blank Planet LP by Porcupine Tree icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Porcupine Tree's "Fear of a Blank Planet" album cover. [Formatted]

I never want to be old and I don’t want dependence
It’s no fun to be told that you can’t blame your parents anymore

I’m finding it hard to hang from a star
I don’t want to be—I never want to be old

Sullen and bored the kids stay and in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play and in this way wish away each day

I don’t really know if I care what is normal
I’m not really sure if the pills I’ve been taking are helping

The waste in my life—
I’m hurting inside—
I don’t really know, and I’m not really sure

Sullen and bored the kids stay and in this way wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play and in this way wish away each day

Even So, It’s Not Enough

Hand. Cannot. Erase. icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 (track 03 from the eponymous LP by Steven Wilson icon-external-link-12x12 icon-search-12x12 )

Together we have this love
Even so, it’s not enough
Bruised and burned, we won’t lose heart just because life gets hard

Writing lying emails to our friends back home
Feeling guilty if we sometimes want to be alone

Hand cannot erase this love

A love like this makes us strong
We laugh it off if things go wrong
It’s not you, forgive me if I find I need more space
Because trust means we don’t have to be together everyday

Hand cannot erase this love
