The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
Waiting for the UFOs, man
Waiting for the place to blow
Waiting for the spark to knock me down
In the cherry blossom snow
Waiting for the disappeared writing love letters
So what
Who wants to know, who wants to know
Television is on all evening
And I threw out your overcoat
I’m standing on the road
I’m staring at the sky
Waiting for the UFO’s
- Luke Haines/Peter Buck/Scott McCaughey
It’s your life and you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don’t keep me waiting
Please don’t keep me waiting
'Coz I’m so tired, tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
The Kinks
It’s my life, it never ends
Funny how I blind myself, I never knew
If I was sometimes played upon, afraid to lose
I’d tell myself, what good you do
Convince myself
It’s my life, don’t you forget
- Talk Talk
I didn’t ask
They shouldn’t have told me
At first I’d laugh, but now
It’s sinking in fast
Whatever they’ve sold me
Well baby I don’t want to take advice from fools
I’ll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you
Gin Blossoms
Don’t throw it all away
I don’t wanna be the one
Who’s gonna have to beg you to stay
I don’t wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
- Gary Benson
ha I heard this song at a restaurant last night.
When the stars and the moon
And the sky fall through
I’d throw them all away when I’m hollow
Deep as the sea goes
All I know is I would throw them all away
(Brandi Carlile)
I want the hummingbirds
The dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I look into the stars
I look into the moon
- R.E.M.
I have to share this cute kid, he made me smile this week.
I told him all my struggles and the hell I’m going through
The broken dreams, the things I’ve seen, and the people I’ve let down
He raised a glass and half a smile and bought another round
And he said “Don’t tell me, 'cause you know I wrote the book”
“And trouble’s been my shadow for so long”
Jake Bugg
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree
I traveled the world and
The seven seas
Everybody is looking for something
Eurythmics

Fly the great big sky
See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Busting boundaries
Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

He comes face to face with God
He says
How could it come to this
I’m really worried 'bout my creation
How did it come to this
You’re really killing me you know

A great big sea hove in Long Beach,
Whack fol-or-al ta-dee di-dle, I do.
A great big sea hove in Long Beach,
And Granny Snooks she lost her speech,
To me right fol didy fol dee.
(the song “Great Big Sea” from the album Great Big Sea by Great Big Sea)
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the man who sold the world
- David Bowie
Diamonds scattered out to sea
The sun keeps laughing down on me
This crazy horse is trying to chase the wind
Watch the waves come tumbling down
Hearing all those different sounds
Just clears my head and ease my worried miind

You got me on my knees, Layla
Begging, darling please, Layla
Darling, won’t you ease my worried mind?
Eric Clapton
I won’t lose a friend by heeding God’s call
For what is a friend who’d want you to fall
Others find pleasure in things I despise
I like the Christian life
The Louvin brothers
Girl, you really got me going
You got me so I don’t know what I’m doing
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can’t sleep at night
- The Kinks
Lyrics
I don’t believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Will not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms
- Nick Cave
She shuts the doors and lights and lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are running deep
She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep
(Dream Theater)
Look at me with starry eyes
Push me up to starry skies
There’s stardust in my head
Pure and simple every time
Fresh and deep as oceans new
Shiver at the sight of you
I’ll sing a softer tune
Pure and simple over you
If love’s the truth then look no lies
And let me swim around your eyes
I’ve found a place I’ll never leave
Shut my mouth and just believe
Love is the truth I realize
Not a stream of pretty lies
To use us up
And waste our time
Lightning Seeds
There’s too much on my mind
And I can’t sleep at night thinking about it
I’m thinking all the time
There’s too much on my mind
It seems there’s more to life than just to live it
The Kinks
