Sometimes It feels The only way To get The things I want I need I gotta take it (from you) So you came over to my flat I poured us a couple coffees (just us) Talkin' about how good we're holdin' up And anything new When I noticed that your back Was tight and full of tension (relax) Next thing I know we're back together And really confused Sometimes It feels The only way To get The things I want I need I gotta take it (from you) Well we were standin' in the yard Just catchin' up with neighbors (talkin) I didn't receive attention that I need So I made a scene When you brought it up at lunch I was embarrassed and got defensive (oh no!) Next thing I know we're broken up And really confused Sometimes It feels The only way To get The things I want I need I gotta take it (just ask)

Oh the potential of the human race If everyone got on board If everyone sold their sword If only we knew how Oh the potential imagine the NFL If the stadium energy Could be harvested for peace Yeah if an 18 wheel machine knows how Oh the potential of a crowded bar If the college kids cared at all And the images on the wall Are the snapshots of our hearts This ain't my scene Quit sayin it's alright Wake up from sleep Get off your bike and on your feet You got a lot of questions That's a good thing Oh the potential of me and you If I knew what you were goin through I'd know exactly what to do And we could patch it up real soon

Revive me O Lord Revive me O Lord Revive me O Lord Revive me O Lord Down in the dust I lay prostrate True to your word O Lord, revive me I tell you my ways and you answer Teach me your wishes, your commandments Revive me O Lord Revive me O Lord Grief like hot wax it melts on me Deceit my old friend, has written Grant me your grace and revive me Be my guide through the darkness Empty me that I might be filled with the spirit of love I shall speak of your instructions before kings today Empty me that I might be filled with the spirit of love I shall speak of your instructions before kings today

Kisses for my sweetheart She's a gateway happiness Biking on a small road Ride it til the cow shows Kisses for my sweetheart Wearin lots of make-up She doesn't need to It's somethin that just feels good Let it feel good

Sleeper 02:34
Cool like fall rain Cry tears in the bathtub The neighbors are knockin Your clutchin the door knob I can your heart beat Through our stethoscope Every thought I think I swear I do not care at all Sleeper on the inner stage The highway is your home Hands are numb, neck is sore Tired eyes This is my disguise The feeling is gone It's all wearing off And where have I come? The feeling is gone Wake up sleeper Arise, arise, arise Your family needs you To be of sober mind Through the fire Let the Lord refine

about

Jeff Gorman Baltimore, Maryland

"The view taken is not of an activity the purpose of which is to integrate the opposites, but rather of an activity characterized by process and essentially purposeless. The mind, though stripped of its right to control, is still present. What does it do, having nothing to do? And what happens to a piece of music when it is purposelessly made?" ... more
