Castles Made Of Sand
Jimi Hendrix

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown
Because she was crippled for life and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she would stop living
So she decided to die
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled
"you won't hurt me no more"
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
"look a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop
It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand
Slips into the sea eventually

The Crystal Ship
Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison- The Doors

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, Another kiss

The Days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle reign
The time we ran was too insane

we'll meet again, we'll meet again

Tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather die, 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

The Sensual World
Kate Bush

Then I'd taken the kiss of seedcake back from his mouth
Going deep South, go down, mmh, yes,
Took six big wheels and rolled our bodies
Off of Howth Head and into the flesh, mmh, yes,

He said I was a flower of the mountain, yes,
But now I've powers o'er a woman's body, yes.

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world.
Stepping out...

To where the water and the earth caress
And the down of a peach says mmh, yes,
Do I look for those millionaires
Like a Machiavellian girl would
When I could wear a sunset? mmh, yes,

And how we'd wished to live in the sensual world
You don't need words--just one kiss, then another.

Stepping out of the page into the sensual world
Stepping out, off the page, into the sensual world.

And then our arrows of desire rewrite the speech, mmh, yes,
And then he whispered would I, mmh, yes,
Be safe, mmh, yes, from mountain flowers?
And at first with the charm around him, mmh, yes,
He loosened it so if it slipped between my breasts
He'd rescue it, mmh, yes,
And his spark took life in my hand and, mmh, yes,
I said, mmh, yes,
But not yet.
I know you don't know me
But I'd dig your company
Don't want to be alone tonight
You can trust me girl -you'll be alright
Looked at me with big brown eyes
She said "yes" to my surprise

And now I call her in the morning
And I see her every night
I see her in the evening
And when I'm with her I'm all right

Steppenwolf/The Second

Humanity grew weary
Of its doubtful state of mind
So it summond from far
And called from near
Every wise man thought to be sincere

To heal its wounds and make it whole
To lead the way back
To the soul

But the wise men came together
With the hope to free mankind
From rubbish that had gathered
In God's name
To embrace and trust each other
In the search for the supreme
And they found that all their teaching
Was the same

Steppenwolf/The Second
If i should die in a car wreck...(pause)... may I have Van Morrison on myyyyyyyy tape deck.

Can't remember the name of the song but it's by POI DOG PONDERING on their album Wishing Like a Mountain and thinking like the Sea.

GREAT MUSIC!!
LOL at "I buried Paul."

"She blew my nose and then she blew my mind" is a pretty good line.
I'm too tired to rest.
