The Smiling Spirit's ~ Lyrical Love

Blame

El Baugher — Thu, 20 May 2010 22:36:17 +0000

By~ Collective Soul

You pushed ~ me down
for all ~ the world to see

I guess ~ that’s your
price for ~ my loyalty

So while you’re tasting sin
And swallowing pain
Don’t look at me
To take your blame

When you’re willing to render
To the guilt you concede
When truth is your reason
Then lay that blame on me
When you unveil a conscience
And with peace you agree
When love is your constant
Then lay that blame on me

You lay ~ me out
In hopes ~ that I’d wilt away
But strength ~ rained down
And love ~ provided shade

So while the pageant of lies
Still glows from your tongue
Don’t blame me for
Your Kingdom Come

Question your answers
Truth has no anger
Gather up your words
Redemption’s now offered

Down by sea
I think I saw (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Our love dissolve

So plant a little seed
Soon it starts growing
Shed a little light
Then ya be glowing
Hear a little tune
Then ya start singing
Give a little love
And love will start breathing

Out by the bay
I long to be (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
A man of peace

So plant a little seed
Soon it starts growing
Shed a little light
Then ya be glowing
Hear a little tune
Then ya start singing
Give a little love
And love will start breathing

I’m gonna
I’m gonna breathe
I’m gonna
I’m gonna breathe love
Yeah love

Down by sea
I think I saw (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Our love dissolve

So plant a little seed
Soon it starts growing
Shed a little light
Then ya be glowing
Hear a little tune
Then ya start singing
Give a little love
And love will start breathing

Plant a little seed
Soon it starts growing
Shed a little light
Then ya be glowing
Hear a little tune
Then ya start singing
Give a little love
And love will start breathing

Breathe a little love
Breathe a little love
I’m gonna breathe
I’m gonna breathe

Come on now people
Come on now breathe

New Moon on Monday

El Baugher — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:24:29 +0000

By: Duran Duran

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn’t really put it much plainer
But I’ll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time La Luna

[CHORUS]

I light my torch and wave it for the
New moon on Monday
And a fire dance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Breaking away with the best of both worlds
A smile that you can’t disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I’d forget tonight
This time La Luna

[CHORUS]

I’m no stranger to the Rain

El Baugher — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:55:40 +0000

Keith Whitley

I’m no stranger to the rain
I’m a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I’ve fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

I’m no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I’m good at finding shelter in a downpour
I’ve been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I’m no stranger to the rain

But when I get that foggy feeling
When I’m feeling down
If I don’t keep my head up, I may drown
But it’s hard to keep believing
I’ll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it’s really coming down

I’m no stranger to the rain
But there’ll always be tomorrow
And I’ll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
And I’ll put this cloud behind me
That’s how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I’m no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I’m no stranger to the rain

I’m no stranger to the rain
I’m a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
But I’ll put this cloud behind me
That’s how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I’m no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I’m no stranger to the rain

Closer to the Heart

El Baugher — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:55:18 +0000

Rush

And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the Heart
Closer to the Heart

The Blacksmith and the Artist
Reflect it in their art
Forge their creativity
Closer to the Heart
Yeah, it’s closer to the Heart

Philosophers and Ploughmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the Heart
Yeah, it’s closer to the Heart

You can be the Captain and
I will draw the Chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the Heart

Closer to the Heart

Closer to your heart.

Hold My Hand

El Baugher — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:57:03 +0000

Hootie and the Blowfish

With a little love, and some tenderness
Well walk upon the water
Well rise above this mess
With a little peace, and some harmony
Well take the world together
Well take em by the hand

Cause Ive got a hand for you
Cause I wanna run with you

Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red
No comb had touched your hair
I said get up, and let me see you smile
Well take a walk together
Walk the road awhile, cause

Cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
Cause I wanna run with you
Wont you let me run with you? yeah

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can

See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
I don’t wanna be part of your problems
Don’t wanna be part of your crowd, no

Cause Ive got a hand for you
Ive got a hand for you
Cause I wanna run with you
Ah, wont you let me run with you?

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can’t change the world but
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can, yeah

Hold my hand
Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand
Anything you wanna be because

Want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
Ill take you to the promised land
Hold my hand
Maybe we can’t change the world but

Oh, the best that I can

All We Are

El Baugher — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:10:43 +0000

By Matt Nathanson

I tasted, tasted love so sweet
And all of it was lost on me
Bought and sold like property
Sugar on my tongue

I kept falling over
I kept looking backward
I went broke believing
That the simple should be hard

All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful

I wasted, wasted love for you
Trading out for something new
Well, it’s hard to change the way you lose
If you think you’ve never won

‘Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful

And in the end the words won’t matter
‘Cause in the end nothing stays the same
And in the end dreams just scatter and fall like rain

‘Cause all we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, something real

All we are we are
All we are we are
And every day is a start of something beautiful, beautiful

Things Can Only Get Better

El Baugher — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 10:55:37 +0000

Howard Jones

We’re not scared to lose it all
Security throw through the wall
Future dreams we have to realize
A thousand skeptic hands
Won’t keep us from the things we plan
Unless we’re clinging to the things we prize

And do you feel scared, I do
But I won’t stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wo wo wo oh, wo wo wo oh oh oh oh

Treating today as though it was
The last, the final show
Get to sixty and feel no regret.

It may take a little time
A lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure will not alter it

And do you feel scared, I do
But I won’t stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Wo wo wo oh, wo wo wo oh oh oh oh

Hands

El Baugher — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:11:05 +0000

By Jewel

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we’re all OK
And not to worry ’cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these

I won’t be made useless
I won’t be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light’s the darkness most feared

My hands are small, I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn’t steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn’t ever after

We’ll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what’s right
‘Cause where there’s a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing

My hands are small I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
I am never broken

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray

My hands are small I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken

My hands are small I know
But they’re not yours, they are my own
But they’re not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s mind
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s heart
We are God’s eyes
God’s hands
God’s eyes
We are God’s hands
We are God’s hands
