In Memory of Cassandra

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man Don't be no fool

Fountain of Sorrow

Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer
I was taken by a photograph of you
There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more
but they didnt show your spirit quite as true.

You were turning around to see who was behind you
And I took your childish laughter by surprise
and at the moment that my camera happened to find you
there was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes.

Now the things that I remember seem so distant so small
though it hasnt really been that long a time
What I was seeing wasnt what was happening at all
although for a while our path did seem to climb

When you see through love's illusions there lies the danger
and your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool
so you go running off in search of a perfect stranger
while the loneliness seems to spring from your life
like a fountain from a pool

I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you
in my lessons at love's pain and heartache school
where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you
there's this loneliness springing up from your life
like a fountain from a pool

There is a Light that Never Goes Out

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)

Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out
There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out

It is my birthday, and so.......................

**Truths of the Year**

*The people who love you the most forgive you the easiest. If they forgive you.

*Expos is not indicitive of your future success. Unless you got an A, in which case you can count on a hefty salary upon graduation. I have not gotten an A.

*Real friends will be there at 2 in the morning when you got none of the classes you tried to register for, and they will help you find enough credits to make you a full time student.

*Real friends will share a box of chocolate chip cookies with you while you cry your relationship worries to them.

*The people you used to cherish, never disappear.

*I am younger than my ideas.

*seat belts are important, for other people.

*quoting song lyrics isnt good during an argument, even if they perfectly sum up how you feel, most of the time it comes off as impersonal and detached

*One man's sacrifice is another man's advantage

*People who love you just want you to be happy, and sometimes we sacrifice that happiness to convince them that we are.

*Joy's Lament is the best band ever, even though the bass is never loud enough and the lead guitarist is my brother. (Whom I deeply love)

These are truths of the year. More specific to love next weekend.

We know its a birthday we wonder for who
it must be for somebody right in this room

is laughing and smiling, my goodness it's you
