Don't leave me now
Leave me out in the pouring rain
With my back against the wall
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
Leave me out with nowhere to go
As the shadows start to fall
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
Leave me out on this lonely road
As the wind begins to howl
Don't leave me now

Don't leave me now
All alone on this darkest night
Feeling old and cold and grey
Don't leave me now

Oh-oh-oh

Oh, don't leave me now
Leave me holding an empty heart
As the curtain starts to fall
Don't leave me now

Oh, don't leave me now
All alone in this crazy world
When I'm old and cold and grey
And time is gone, oh-oh-oh

    Funny enough this was the last song that Roger Hodgson and the band recorded together on the album Famous Last Words.

    Memory

    Strange. When I first heard this song, I remember my first love, our first kiss, and her running away from me in the rain. It was almost exactly as he describes it here: It was dusk. It was pounding down rain. We had just kissed under a tin roof in a mostly abandoned city block. I said something she didn't understand and she took off in the pouring rain.

    I always wonder if Roger had an experience like mine...

    For those of you that saw the tour Famous Last Words they had a video of the tightrope moving to the beat of Bob Siebenberg 's drums ( or was that a tape) . Since that was about 37 years ago I can't remember if the rope was cut in the video. Just before Roger Hodgson sang Give A Little Bit in the concert I saw he announced he was leaving which of course was met with boos. Anyway things to consider from the last tour where Supertramp was complete. .

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
