SING OUT!

[Nightfire]

Funny, by Todd Agnew

It's funny how a big ol' fish can hear Your voice,
Find one man in the whole ocean and swallow him whole,
Because You said so.
It's funny how a little plant can hear Your voice,
And grow as big as a tent to give that man a home,
Because You said so.

And You speak to me all the time,
And I can't obey You to save my life.

Well, I can but I don't, and I want to, but I won't,
And I don't do what I want to,
I do what I don't mean to,
And I'm confused.
It's funny how a fish can obey You but I can't.

It's funny how the bright ol' sun can hear Your voice,
Along its way stop in the middle of the sky for an entire day
Because You said so.
It's funny how a donkey can hear Your voice
And talk instead of bray to set Your child on His way,
Because You said so.

And You speak to me all the time,
Lighting my path with Your words of life.
But I can't obey You no matter how hard I try.

It's funny how a fish can obey You,
How a plant can obey You,
How the sun can obey You,
How a donkey can obey You,
Seems like everything can obey You, but I can't."

"How do we dance when our Earth is turning?
HOW DO WE SLEEP WHILE OUR BEDS ARE BURNING?"

"Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil. Feeling oddly patriotic at the moment.

Dream by night
Wish by day
Love begins this way
Loving starts
When open hearts
Touch and stay
Sleep for now
Dreaming's how
Lover's lives are planned
Future songs
And flying dreams
Hand in hand
Love it seems
Made flying dreams
So hearts could soar
Heaven sent
These wings were meant
To prove, once more
That love is the key
Love is the key
You and I
Touch the sky
The eagle and the dove
Nightingales
We keep our sails
Filled with love
And love it seems
Made flying dreams
To bring you home to me

I watched the Secret of NIMH tonight and I keep getting this stuck in my head.

[Tiria Wildlough]

'Jingle bells, Barney smells,
Barney laid an egg.'

[Icefire]

Isn't that supposed to be Batman? And Robin laid an egg?

[Nightfire]

Who cares? It's still funny!

"If I were tickled by a fuzzy bumblebee, then here's what I would do:
Eeeheehahahahahaheeehahahaooo"


Sorry, it a funny laughing song that my church used to sing, but I forgot most of the lyrics.

[Icefire]

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye.
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye.
Don't try to stop me Horace please...
Wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
You ain't gonna see me anymore
But when you discover that your life is dreary
Don't you come a knockin' at my door
For I'll be all dolled up
And singin' that song
That says you dog, I told you so
So wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
Dearie, should have said so long
So long ago

Because you've treated me so rotten and rough
I've had enough of feelin' low
So wave your little hand and whisper
So long dearie
Dearie would have said so long
So long ago

For I can hear that choo choo callin' me on
To a fancy new address
Yes, I can hear that choo choo callin' me on
On board that happiness express

And on those cold winter nights, Horace...
You can snuggle up to your cash register.
It's a bit lumpy but it rings!

Don't come a knockin'
I'll be all dolled up
And singin' that song
That says you dog, I told you so
So Horace, you will find your life a sad old story
When you see your Dolly shuffle off to glory
Oh I should have said so long...
So Long ago!

[Nightfire]

Good morning, Lord!
I'm so glad that you love me!
Good morning, Lord!
It's a beautiful day!
Good morning, Lord!
I'm so glad that you love me!
Watching over me,
I'm gonna praise you all day!!!

[DanielofRedwall]

"You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow

We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go."

From "Chigaco" by Sufjan Stevens.

This song cracks me up:

Oh my Mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say,
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot.
I'd be am out in the cactus and I practice all day,
And now tell me what have I got.
I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
Than a pen point, I'm number one.
But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar-
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
When I'm with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal,
Yes, I shine like the morning sun.
But I lose all my luster
When with a Bronco Buster.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
If I went to battle
With someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done.
But if shot the herder,
They'd holler "bloody murder"
And you can't shoot a male
In the tail like a quail
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
I'm cool, brave and daring
To see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
The gals with "umbrellars"
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
A man's love is mighty
It'll leave him buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun.
But they don't by pajamas
For Pistol packin' mamas,
And you can't get a hug
From a mug with a slug,
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.

[DanielofRedwall]

"Then the Earth shook, that was all that it took for the dream to break
All the loose ends would surround me again, in the shape of your face

What makes me love you despite the reservations?
What do I see in your eyes?
Besides my reflection hanging high?"

From "Sim Sala Bim" by Fleet Foxes.

[Redwallfan7]

Baby you're a firework, come on show em what you're worth, make em go oh, oh, oh, as you shoot across the sky

[Icefire]

New CW song! (I know it's not originally their's, but I only know their version!)

The night is so wild, and downstairs the child
Is sleeping, her spirit is free,
For more than an hour, I have walked in the rain,
I've been wondering what she will be,

But where are the heroes, where are the dreams
That I had, when I was young,
Am I hoping in vain, just to think
She could change anything?
Well I'm counting on you;

I'm counting on you to bring that sweet gentleness
To your world and all that you do,
My generation is losing it's way
We don't know, what we're leaving for you,
So may there be millions who feel like you do
Oh my love...

There is so much to know,
There is so far to go,
But you are not alone,
When this is your world,
And I'm counting on you;

Come to me, turn to me,
Give me your eyes
When you see the mysteries of time,
Here there are those who just live in the past
They will never let history lie,
And this sad little island is breaking my heart
With it's dark shades of green,
And as hard as I try,
I just cannot see why
This should be...
I'm counting on you,

There is so much to know,
There is so far to go,
But you are not alone,
When this is your world,
And I'm counting on you,
I'm counting on you...

[Redwallfan7]

Da de do, de do, de do, do (The beat from the Hamster Dance!)

[Nightfire]

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
   with the cross of Jesus going on before.
   Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
   forward into battle see his banners go!
Refrain:
   Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
   with the cross of Jesus going on before.

2.   At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee;
   on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
   Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
   brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
   (Refrain)

3.   Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
   brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
   We are not divided, all one body we,
   one in hope and doctrine, one in charity.
   (Refrain)

4.   Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
   but the church of Jesus constant will remain.
   Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
   we have Christ's own promise, and that cannot fail.
   (Refrain)

5.   Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
   blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
   Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ the King,
   this through countless ages men and angels sing.
   (Refrain)
