"We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year"

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

 

Just as every cop is a criminal,
And all the sinners saints,
As heads is tails, Just call me lucifer
Cause I'm in need of some restraint

Sympathy for the Devil - Rolling Stones

 

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

Going to California - Led Zeppelin

 

Drowning in the Sea of Love, where every one of us, would love to drown

Sara - Fleetwood Mac

"Can you give me sanctuary 
I must find a place to hide 
A place for me to hide"

Soft Parade- The Doors

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, run rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave."

Breathe- Pink Floyd

 

"There is no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We said all there is to say"

Breakdown- Tom Petty

 

"And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic."

Into the Mystic- Van Morrison

There is so many hard to choose just a couple! lol!

We can walk our road together

If our goals are all the same

We can run alone and free

If we pursue a different aim

 

Let the truth of love be lighted

Let the love of truth shine clear

 

Sensibility

Armed with sense and liberty

With our hearts and minds united

In a single

Perfect

Saw the title of this and was totally gonna do the crystal ship, then I read the description..haha:(

Being the huge Doors fan that I am, and The Crystal Ship was immediately one of my favorites.

Something about those words.  I find it completely relatable, and just interesting.  I've selected a different part of the song though..

The days are bright and filled with pain 
Enclose me in your gentle rain 
The time you ran was too insane 
We'll meet again, we'll meet again 

Oh tell me where your freedom lies 
The streets are fields that never die 
Deliver me from reasons why 
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly 

The crystal ship is being filled 
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills 
A million ways to spend your time 
When we get back, I'll drop a line

To me it just sort of represents the struggle to say goodbye, for now.  Perhaps out of different goals, needs, dreams hence the "you'd rather cry, I'd rather fly".  I think someone could interpret it as far as seeing it as the two sides of one's self.  Whatever.  it is so beautiful. haha

I've got to include this Beatles classic. 

 

There are places I'll remember all my life, though some have changed,

Some forever, not for better, some have gone and some remain,

All these places had their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall,

Some are dead and some are living, In my life, I've loved them all.

But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you,

And these memories lose their meaning when I think of love as something new,

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before,

I know I'll often stop and think about them, In my life, I've loved you more.

Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.

"Ohio", CSN&Y

Here's a deep deep cut but wonderful lyrics:  Jethro Tull, War Child Album, song is back door angels  Lyrics are:

Why to the faithful have such a wish to believe in something"

and call it the name they choose having chosen nothing.

 

GREAT tune.
