http://youtube.com/watch?v=N1DfPUQKeSs Here's another great song by George Harrison, "Cloud Nine". Have my love It fits you like a glove Join my dream, tell me yes Bail out should there be a mess The pieces you don't need are mine Take my time I'll show you cloud nine Take my smile and my heart The pieces to omit are mine Have my love Use it while it does you good Share my highs but the times That it hurts pay no mind The pieces you don't need are mine I'll see you there on cloud nine Take my hope Maybe even share a joke If there's good to be shown You may make it all your own And if you want to quit that's fine While you're out looking for cloud nine And another one, written by Harrison. I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping, while my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping, still my guitar gently weeps I don't know why nobody told you, how to unfold you love I don't know how someone controlled you, they bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it's turning, while my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning, still my guitar gently weeps I don't know how you were diverted, you were perverted too, I don't know how you were inverted, no one alerted you I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping, while my guitar gently weeps I look at you all... still my guitar gently weeps Edit: Okay, YouTube deleted every video of the Petty/Lynne/Prince one that I could find, so here's one with George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Jeff Lynne and Phil Collins. http://youtube.com/watch?v=0ITrQXES8kU

This song is very touching, as it can be interpreted in many ways. Clapton wrote it for his son, Connor, who (in 1991) fell off of a very high apartment balcony and did not survive. "Circus" -by Eric ClaptonLittle man with his eyes on fire And his smile so bright In his hands are the toys you gave To fill his heart with delight And in the ring stands a circus clown Holding up a knife What you see and what you will hear Will last you for the rest of your life And its sad, so sad, There ain't no easy way round And its sad, so sad, All you friends gather round Cause the circus left town Little man with his heart so pure And his love so fine Stick with me and I'll ride with you To the end of the line Hold my hand and I'll walk with you Through the darkest night And when I smile, I'll be thinking of you And every little thing will be all right And its sad, so sad, There ain't no easy way round And its sad, so sad, All you friends gather round Cause the circus left town And its sad, so sad, There ain't no easy way round And its sad, so sad, All you friends gather round Cause the circus left town The circus left town, left town The circus left town, left town |

"Macy's Day Parade" by Green Day. This matches Graham's COD fic to an eerie extent.
"Macy's Day Parade"
Today's the Macy's Day Parade
the night of the living dead is on its way
with a credit report for duty call
it's a lifetime guarantee
stuffed in a coffin 10% more free
Red light special at the mausoleum
Give me something that I need
satisfaction guaranteed to you
what's the consolation prize?
economy sized shattered dreams of hope
When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh, but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
A lesson learned to me and you
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
the one I've never known
cause now I know
it's all that I wanted
What's the consolation prize?
economy sized shattered dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
the one I've never known
and where it goes
and I'm thinking about the only road
the one I've never known
and where it goes
and I'm thinking about a brand new hope
the one I've never known
cause now I know
it's all that I wanted.

This is another great song that makes me think of Lisa, it reminds me of when I first became attached to her. I don't know how or why it happened, but it did. She helped me to live my life a little better, and the lines in this song "I need you now to be beside me, while all my world is so untidy/sad and crazy" pretty much describe my need for her at that time. And now it seems like I'm a better man than I was before. You could say, that it stopped me heading someplace else.
You got into my life
I don't know how you found me, but you did
It stopped me heading someplace else
Took me a while to say
Wish you belong to me
But now I'm saddened like I've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else...
Someplace else...
I hope you won't let go
Maybe you'll let me know
That you'll be saddened like you've never been
Regretting that we'll leave
And for a while I could comfort you
And hold you in my mind
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is sad and crazy
Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else...
And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy
Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else
Loneliness...
Empty faces...
Wish I could leave them all
In someplace else...
Someplace else...
I think I'm gonna leave them all
In someplace else...
George Harrison - "Someplace Else"
Written by George Harrison

Here's what is definitely Green Day's most frightening, chilling, and disturbing song, "Misery".
Virginia was a hooker from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she ran away
Thumbs out out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery
Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps on the interstate
Panhandling his misery
He's gonna get high, high, high,
When he's low, low, low,
The fire burns from better days
And she screems why, why, why,
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
Of misery
Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in tinseltown
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat,
in the name of misery
Frankie hit the road to New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
He stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virgina and the dope
And kissed the bride in misery
And they're gonna get high, high, high
When they're low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And he screems why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
Of misery
Hell hounds on your trail now once again..boy
It's gnawin' on your leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
Cause' it's not what yu make, it's what you leave
And we're gonna get high, high, high
When I'm low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And she screems why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
Of misery...
Of misery...

And now for something completly different  One of my fav songs ever  Linkin Park - In The End It starts with one thing I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on, but didn't even know Wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when (Chorus:) I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so (far) Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me (in the end) You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I Chorus I’ve put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go And for all this There's only one thing you should know Chorus (x2) |

Here's "Old Love" by Eric Clapton. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-axOgiuo8EcI can feel your body When I'm lying in bed There's too much confusion Going around through my head And it makes me so angry To know that the flame still burns Why can't I get over? When will I ever learn? Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home I can see your face But I know that it's not real It's just an illusion Caused by how I used to feel And it makes me so angry To know that the flame will always burn I'll never get over I know now that I'll never learn Old love, leave me alone Old love, go on home... Written by Eric Clapton and Robert Cray |

"Dead Man, Dead Man" by Bob Dylan. It's a pretty sad song, but I like the lyrics.
Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind,
Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine,
Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
It's makin' me feel so sad.
Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.
Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair.
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?
The way that you hold your head, cursin' God with every move,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
What are you tryin' to prove?
Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.
The glamour and the bright lights and the politics of sin,
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you end up in,
The race of the engine that overrules your heart,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
Pretending that you're so smart.
Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.
What are you tryin' to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun?
My back is already to the wall, where can I run?
The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel,
Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it,
You wanna take me down to hell.
Dead man, dead man,
When will you arise?
Cobwebs in your mind,
Dust upon your eyes.

This is one of my favorite songs by Eric Clapton. The lyrics really mean a lot to me. http://youtube.com/watch?v=JiVa2-ZVVV0How do I choose, and where do I draw the line Between truth and necessary pain And how do I know and where do I get my belief That things will be all right again What words do I use, to try and explain To those who've witnessed all my tears And what does it mean to know all these things When love's been wasted all these years, When love's been wasted all these years... Standing in the shadows With my heart right in my hand, Removed from all the people Who could never understand I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love It's like living in a nightmare, Like looking in the blackest hole, Like standing on the edge of nothing, Completely out of control Now where have I been all these years And how come I just couldn't see? Like a blind man walking 'round in darkness, I was a pilgrim for your love I was a pilgrim for your love... Standing in the shadows With my heart right in my hand, Removed from all the people Who could never understand Standing in the shadows With my heart right in my hand, Removed from all the people Who could never understand... I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love... I was a pilgrim for your love A pilgrim for your love... |

Here's Love Like Winter by AFI ( A. F.ire I.nside )
Warn your warmth to turn away,
Here it's december,
Everyday. [echo:] I'm with you
Press your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you'll stay. [distance:] love like winter
For of sugar and ice,
I am made. I am made
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
She exhales vanilla lace,
I barely dreamt her, yesterday. [echo:] yesterday
Read the lines in the mirror through,
The lipstick trace.
Por siempre
She said "It seems you're somewhere, far away" to his face.
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,
I taste of blood.
She bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
Love Like Winter.
Love Like Winter.
Winter.
Three, four
It's in the blood,
It's in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
From years before.

GeorgeHarrisonI really do like the "Old Love" lyrics, especially the extract: It's just an illusion
Caused by how I used to feel
And it makes me so angry
To know that the flame will always burnThere's something in this lines causing very familiar feelings in me  Nice song! And the previous one, which Clapton dedicated to his son - really very touching. That's a terrible trial - to go through the death of own son. The father's hopeless anguish is heard in the words: Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright....

This is an awesome song by Gerry Rafferty, "Baker Street". (The sax solo in this song was played by Lisa at the end of the episode "Lisa's Sax") http://youtube.com/watch?v=EgbGaYTkkPUWindin' your way down on Baker Street Light in your head and dead on your feet Well another crazy day You'll drink the night away And forget about everything This city desert makes you feel so cold. It's got so many people but it's got no soul And it's taking you so long To find out you were wrong When you thought it had everything You used to think that it was so easy You used to say that it was so easy But you're tryin' You're tryin' now Another year and then you'll be happy Just one more year and then you'll be happy But you're cryin' You're cryin' now Way down the street there's a lad in his place He opens the door he's got that look on his face And he asks you where you've been You tell him who you've seen And you talk about anything He's got this dream about buyin' some land He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands And then he'll settle down there's a quiet little town And forget about everything But you know he'll always keep movin' You know he's never gonna stop movin Cus he's rollin' He's the rollin' stone And when you wake up it's a new mornin' The sun is shinin' it's a new morning You're goin' You're goin' home |

Agreed. The guitar solo along with the sax solo from 3:20 to 4:02 give me chills. |
