In our headlights, staring, bleak, beer cans, deer's eyes
On the asphalt underneath, our crushed plans and my lies
Lonely street signs, powerlines, they keep on flashing, flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye
Your breath hot upon my cheek, and we crossed, that line
You made me strong when I was feeling weak, and we crossed, that one time
Screaming stop signs, staring wild eyes, keep on flashing, flashing by
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye
The devil grins from ear to ear when he sees the hand he's dealt us
Points at your flaming hair, and then we're playing hide and seek
I can't breathe easy here, less our trail's gone cold behind us
Till' in the john mirror you stare at yourself grown old and weak
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...
Bit of everything, songs & lyrics, book reviews & thoughts I keep to myself and won't write on here

Cowboy Junkies - Blue Moon Revisited
I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
'cause he's my true love
My only one don't you see?
And on that special day
Perhaps in the new sun of May
My baby walks back into my arms
I'll keep him beside me
Forever from harm
You see I was afraid
To let my baby stray
I kept him too tightly by my side
And then one sad day
He went away and he died
Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
I only want to say
That if there is a way
I want my baby back with me
'cause he's my true love
My only one don't you see?

Tracy Chapman - Broken
You can close your eyes
And see a picture perfect life
Inside of your mind
Dreaming only of the days ahead
Wanted and wished for more than now
Or the days behind
You waste your time
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
You can never think
You can't even stop yourself
Before the words have been spoken
And you've already said
You would give everything
And something for nothing
Everybody thinks you're joking
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
You want to be the one
Made over be your own
Before and after
And a supermarket
Beauty in a bottle queen
Who'll one day grace a check-out counter
Magazine front cover
Though the fine print reads
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Broken
Broken
When your life is never what you wanted
Not even halfway normal
Just tarnished and soiled
When in your reach
A framed and frozen moment
So far from perfection
Not truth or transcendence
Will set you free
Still you don't believe
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broke

Dominique A - Les Hauts Quartiers de Peine
Les hauts quartier de peine
envoyé par ben_gaston. - Regardez la dernière sélection musicale.
Translated to English here.
Pour une fois, tranquille, décidé
Pas à pas, nous regagnons les
Les Hauts quartiers de peine, les avait-on quittés?
Le plus dur s'achève, tu m'en vois
Désolé
Tout en bas, nous nous sommes laissés
Aller à croire ces hauts quartiers
Loin de nous alors même, qu'on ne cessait d'y penser
Un faux pas et pas d'autre choix
qu'y retourner
Pour une fois, tranquille, décidé
Pas à pas, nous regagnons les
Les hauts quartiers de peine, les avait-on quittes
Sitôt là tu parles déja de
Redescendre
Redescendre, c'est compliqué
J'ai pris goût à ces hauts quartiers
Ces hauts lieux sans relief, ces contours arrêtés
Quand en bas tant peinent à s'aimer
Puis remontent
