Ridin' High
I'm living just to live it up
Whoa yeah
Since the day that I was born
I've been rockin' round my block
Just a leather coated lover
With a tattoo on my heart
Now I'm going downtown
Feel I should strut my stuff, babe
Workin' on one track mind
And baby that's not all
Keep the motor running cuz
I ain't got time to waste
I'm dressing for success
I guess I'm blessed with good taste
Ain't no dream you're seeing things
You've never seen before
Oh Yeah
Well I'm breathing down your neck
Knockign down your door, yeah
CHORUS

Mamakod
Don't be like a drunkard who wallows in his or her vomit!
But be very wise oh Mamakod!
For the galaxy is not closer to you as you thought;
And from one jar to another you have shared your love with others.

When The Night Was Young
When the night was young
I was just a little boy
Walking down the street
Carrying some
Shopping bags
In my hands

Transport of the mails, transport of the human voice, transport of flickering pictures-in this century as in others our highest accomplishments still have the single aim of bringing men together.

Strutting All Your Stuff On Main Street
On that avenue where your heartbreak is chased,
I follow you with wishes,
All your bitter kept feelings from you...
Fades away.
And I would see you,
Strutting all your stuff on Main Street.
I'd like to see you,
Strutting all your stuff on Main Street.
And with your head down like its been really tough,
Looking as if you're about to give life up...
But I wish,
You would 'dis' this to strut on Main Street.
Oh yes I miss you...
Strutting all your stuff on Main Street.
Just know I've done a boo-hoo too!
And that didn't do a thing to prove,
Anybody noticing would rescue...
Me from my grief to free it.

Bible in Poetry: Gospel of St. Matthew (Chapter 24)
While Jesus left the temple place,
His disciples approached Him soon,
And told Him point the buildings out.
Then Jesus told them in reply,
‘All structures that you can now see,
Amen, amen, I say to you,
Not a stone upon another
Shall ev’r remain but down be thrown! ’
And as He sat on Mount Olives,
His disciples then asked of Him,
‘O tell us when this will happen?
What sign will herald your coming?
What clue will tell us end of age? ’
Then Jesus answered their questions,
‘Just see that no one deceives you.
Many will come in my name then,
Saying, ‘I’m Messiah from God! ’
‘And thus deceive the multitude;

Hold Me Back
Driving fast and ditching school, breaking all the precious rules.
Its too hard, to make a living.
I need a kick, I need a girl so badly I could scream.
Im sick of watching people on t.v.
I feel the wind, in my face
I need a car at the start of the race
I need a highway and a beer
If I dont stop now theres plenty to fear
(chorus)
Hold me back, oh wont you hold me back
I can get violent any time
Hold me back, I feel another attack
Brewing deep inside
Hold me back, oh wont you hold me back.
Hold me back, oh wont you hold me back
Hold me back
Teacher doesnt understand,
Just how dangerous I am.
I need a break, from the world
Now more than ever, I need it good

Life Graph
The way I perceive the life
shrouded in the mystery
its up and down curves
none can guess but destiny.
Challenges, the hall mark of life
paint it with red or green
acceptance of failures gives direction
success gives a sheen.
Biggest philanthropist, the life is
providing opportunity at every stage
those who grabs it with both hands
ink their name on every page.
Life graph is never smooth
and should not be so
death is defined by a smooth line
a beating heart must know.

To know just how He suffered—would be dear
622
To know just how He suffered—would be dear—
To know if any Human eyes were near
To whom He could entrust His wavering gaze—
Until it settle broad—on Paradise—
To know if He was patient—part content—
Was Dying as He thought—or different—
Was it a pleasant Day to die—
And did the Sunshine face his way—
What was His furthest mind—Of Home—or God—
Or what the Distant say—
At news that He ceased Human Nature
Such a Day—
And Wishes—Had He Any—
Just His Sigh—Accented—
Had been legible—to Me—
