Ok...I can see that I am in the minority for listening to country music, but come on...it lends itself perfectly to this type of thing.
Some anger songs that say it all:
Here's a Quarter Call Someone Who Cares by Travis Tritt
You say you were wrong to ever leave me alone Now you're sorry, you're lonesome and scared And you say you'd be happy if I you could just come back home Well, here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn Maybe one of your sordid affairs But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies Here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Girl, I thought what we had could never turn bad So your leavin' caught me unaware But the fact is you've run...girl, that can't be undone So here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Call someone who'll listen, or might give a damn Maybe one of your sordid affairs But don't you come 'round here handin' me none of your lies Here's a quarter, call someone who cares
Yeah, here's a quarter, call someone who cares

You and me we had a pretty good thing We were makin' plans, we were planning our dreams Then you had to go and let her back in Boy, you oughtta know that's where the trouble begins
She don't love you, she's just pullin' your chain Don't you know you're like her puppet-on-a-string
Chorus (Now she's) walkin' around, talk of the town She just can't shut up Oh, she's out there and she's a'havin' her fun Spendin' her time wastin' mine Provin' that she has you Well, the truth is she don't have to She can have you, I'm done
She's the kinda girl that's a'good-for-nothin' Leaves a path of destruction everywhere that she goes What you see in her, well I'll never know She's the kinda trash you find beside 'a the road
She don't love you, she's just messin' your mind And you snap back, no slack, right back to her every time
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh, 'ya had to scratch that itch You deserve what you get Yeah, you and that...
(Chorus Out)

This is one I actually dedicated on our local station to OW along with the whole story and her name and hometown. With love, of course.
Homewrecker by Gretchen Wilson
Well you're a real hot cookie with a new hairdo Your high heel boots and your credit card Long legs and a mini skirt Yeah you know what works and you work it hard You smile like such a lady innocent and sweet You drive the men folk crazy, But any girl can see You're just a
[CHORUS]
Homewrecker I know what you're doin' You think you're gonna ruin what I got, But you're not Yeah you little go getter I'll teach you a lesson If you get to messin' with my man You don't stand a chance No, you're just a homewrecker
I'm sure you waited for a long, long time To find a man like mine But honey you're too late So before you go and make your move Maybe me and you should get a few things straight There's two ways we can do this I'll let you decide You can take it somewhere else or we can take it outside you little
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Now honey I'm a Christian, But if you keep it up I'm gonna go to kickin' your pretty little butt Is that clear enough yeah, you little
[Repeat Chorus]

It might be hard to be lovers But it's harder to be friends Baby, pull down the covers It's time you let me in Maybe light a couple candles I'll just go ahead and lock the door If you just talk to me baby Till we ain't strangers anymore
Lay your head on my pillow I sit beside you on the bed Don't you think its time we say Some things we haven't said It ain't too late to get back to that place Back to where, we thought it was before Why don't you look at me Till we ain't strangers anymore
Sometimes it's hard to love me Sometimes it's hard to love you too I know it's hard believing That love can pull us through It would be so easy To live your life
With one foot out the door Just hold me baby Till we ain't strangers anymore
[Solo]
It's hard to find forgiveness When we just turn out the light It's hard to say you're sorry When you can't tell wrong from right It would be so easy To spend your whole damn life Just keeping score So let's get down to it baby There ain't no need to lie
Tell me who you think you see When you look into my eyes Lets put our two hearts back together And we'll leave the broken pieces on the floor Make love with me baby Till we ain't strangers anymore
We're not strangers anymore We're not strangers We're not strangers anymore

Another day has almost come and gone Cant imagine what else could wrong Sometimes Id like to hide away somewhere and lock the door A single battle lost but not the war (cause)
Tomorrows another day And Im thirsty anyway So bring on the rain
Its almost like the hard times circle round A couple drops and they all start coming down Yeah, I might feel defeated, I might hang my head I might be barely breathing - but Im not dead
Tomorrows another day And Im thirsty anyway So bring on the rain
Im not gonna let it get me down Im not gonna cry And Im not gonna lose any sleep tonight

You feel like a candle in a hurricane Just like a picture with a broken frame Alone and helpless Like you've lost your fight But you’ll be alright
You’ll be alright Chorus: Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend, till you break Cause it's all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you’ve had enough You get mad you get strong Wipe your hands shake it off Then you Stand, Then you stand 2. Life's like a novel With the end ripped out The edge of a canyon With only one way down Take what you're given before it's gone Start holding on, keep holding on Chorus: Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend, till you break Cause it's all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you’ve had enough You get mad you get strong Wipe your hands shake it off Then you Stand, Yeah then you stand. Bridge: Everytime you get up And get back in the race One more small piece of you Starts to fall into place Ooohhh Chorus: Cause when push comes to shove You taste what you're made of You might bend, till you break Cause it's all you can take On your knees you look up Decide you’ve had enough You get mad you get strong Wipe your hands shake it off Then you Stand, Then you stand Yeah then you stand. Yeah then you stand. Yeah baby Ohhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhh Ooohhhhhhh Then you stand

Great therapy. Listen and let the feelings flow. I feel both good and bad in a 4 min. period. It helps get it out and then calm down and really think about stuff. It helps to know others go through the same thing.
I always think about movies too. I am into Sci Fi; with several having the idea that the aliens we encounter are connected through thoughts. Think of AI, aliens, close encounters. We want that connection. We want ESP. Why? We want to connect on a deeper level. Music allows us to do that. Feel the same feeling, at the same time. Experience something together; we can also share music by playing it together.
Here's a romantic one.
Love, love will keep us together Think of me babe whenever Some sweet talkin' girl comes along, singin' a song Don't mess around, you just gotta be strong
Just stop, 'cause I really love you Stop, I been thinkin' of you Look in my heart and let love keep us together
You (you, do do do) you belong to me now (do, do do do) Ain't gonna set ya free now (do do do) When those girls start hangin' around, talkin' me down Hear with your heart and ya won't hear a sound
Just stop (stop, stop) cause I really love you (really love you) Stop (stop, stop) I been thinkin' of you (been thinkin' of you) Look in my heart and let love keep us together, whatever
Young and beautiful, but someday your looks'll be gone When the others turn you off, who'll be turnin' you on I will, I will, I will, I will be there to share forever Love will keep us together I said it before and I'll say it again While others pretend I need ya now and I need ya then
One last kiss one only Then I'll let you go Hard for you I've fallen But you can't break my fall I'm broken don't break me When I hit the ground
Some devil some angel Has got me to the bones You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Is such a long and lonely time
Too drunk and still drinking It's just the way I feel It's alright Is what you told me Cause what we had was so beautiful Feel heavy like floating At the bottom of the sea
You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Is such a long and lonely time
Some devil is stuck inside of me I cannot set it free I wish, I wish I was dead and you breathing Just so that you could know Some angel is stuck inside of me But I cannot set you free
You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Such a long and lonely time
Time to Say Goodbye - Simple Plan I just don't want to waste another day I'm trying to make things right But you shove it in my face And all those things you've done to me I can't erase And I can't keep this inside It's time to say goodbye
On the first day that I met you I should have known to walk away I should have told you you were crazy And disappear without a trace But instead I stood there waiting Hoping you would come around But you always found a way to let me down
[Chorus] It's time to say goodbye (I just don't want to waste another day) It's time to say goodbye (Cause things will never be the same) It's time to say goodbye (You make me think I need to walk away) It's time to say goodbye It's time to say goodbye After all the things I've done for you You never tried to do the same It's like you always play the victim And I'm the one you always blame When you need someone to save you When you think you're going to drown (Think you're going to drown) You just grab your arms around me and pull me down
[Chorus] It's time to say goodbye (I just don't want to waste another day) It's time to say goodbye (Cause things will never be the same) It's time to say goodbye (You make me think I need to walk away) It's time to say goodbye It's time to say goodbye
Now I'm gone It's too late You can't fix Your mistakes I was trying to save you from you So you scream So you cry I can see Through your lies You're just trying to change me (Trying to change me)
Somewhere in the distance There's a place for me to go I don't want you to hate me But I think you need to know You're weighing on my shoulders And I'm sick of feeling down So I guess it's time for me to say goodbye
Hold on tight to your dream Hold on tight to your dream When you see your ship go sailing When you feel your heart is breaking Hold tight to your dream.
Its a long time to be gone Time just rolls on and on When you need a shoulder to cry on When you get so sick of trying Just hold tight to your dream
Chorus: When you get so down that you cant get up And you want so much but youre all out of luck When youre so downhearted and misunderstood Just over & over & over you could
Accroches-toi a ton reve Accroches-toi a ton reve Quand tu vois ton bateau partir Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser Accroches-toi a ton reve.
Repeat chorus:
Hold on tight to your dream Hold on tight to your dream When you see the shadows falling When you hear that cold wind calling Hold on tight to your dream.
Oh, yeah Hold on tight to your dream Yeah, hold on tight... To your dream.
The girls are learning some very sad songs for the next concert .. mummy had a cry Son's unit - 3 Para - Utrinque Paratus - Ready for Anything - my affair had consequences I never envisioned... that is one of them.
My youngest son came home today His friends marched with him all the way The fife and drum beat out the time While in his box of polished pine Like dead meat on a butcher's tray My youngest son same home today
My youngest son was a fine young man With a wife, a daughter and two sons And a man he would have lived and died Till by a bullet sanctified Now he's a saint or so they say They brought their young saint home today
An desert sky looks down and weeps Upon the narrow streets At children's blood in gutters spilled In dreams of glory unfulfilled As part of freedom's price to pay My youngest son came home today
My youngest son came home today His friends marched with him all the way The pipe and drum beat out the time While in his box of polished pine Like dead meat on a butcher's tray My youngest son came home today And this time he's here to stay
Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem You love me no longer, I know And maybe there is nothing That I can do to make you do Mama tells me I shouldn't bother That I ought to stick to another man A man that surely deserves me But I think you do!
So I cry, I pray and I beg
Love me love me Say that you love me Fool me fool me Go on and fool me Love me love me Pretend that you love me Leave me leave me Just say that you need me Love me love me Say that you love me Leave me leave me Just say that you need me I can't care 'bout anything but you...
Lately I have desperately pondered, Spent my nights awake and I wonder What I could have done in another way To make you stay Reason will not lead to solution I will end up lost in confusion I don't care if you really care As long as you don't go
So I cry, I pray, and I beg
Love me, love me Say that you love me Fool me, fool me Go on and fool me Love me, love me Pretend that you love me Leave me, leave me Just say that you need me So I cry, and I pray for you to Love me, love me Say that you love me Leave me, leave me Just say that you need me I can't care 'bout anything but you...
Anything but you...
Love me, love me (Say that you love me) Fool me, fool me (Go on and fool me) Love me, love me (I know that you need me) I can't care 'bout anything but you..
Recovered marriage, recovering self, life gets better everyday
Hello Everybody, I'm new here, never posted before because I have been, up to this point, a lurker. I had to post because I was surprised nobody had mentioned "Eye In The Sky" by Allan Parsons Project. I never cared about this old song (after all it used to be played, it seemed, constantly on the radio)until the lyrics connected to me on a personal level. To be more specific, I felt like the eye in the sky after I installed spyware on suspected computer and learned more than I wanted to at the time (still, I'm glad I did it and found out for myself). Anyways, Marriage Builders is the bomb. I come here often and it helped me tremendously, still does. I would recommend it to anybody. I am also real surprised at this thread and the musical tastes. I didn't think I'd stumble across "Used To Love Her," by GNR, in a Marriage Builders thread! Now I wonder if the poster, "Buzzbomb" likes the Dead Kennedy's as much as me. Well, for those who remember, for those who don't, and also for the ones who have never heard, here are the lyrics.
Don't think sorry's easily said Don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of Chances before But I'm not gonna give anymore Don't ask me That's how it goes Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'
Don't say words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusation before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me The sun in your Eyes Made some of the lies worth believing
I am the eye in the sky Looking at you I can read your mind I am the maker of rules Dealing with fools I can cheat you blind And I don't need to see any more To know that I can read your mind, I can read your mind
Don't leave false illusions behind Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind So find another fool like before Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving
Yep, pretty much sums up my attitude toward lies and deception!
"""""If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas, and that's the fruits of travelling with a fool."""""
intro i just noticed this at the bottom of your posts and had to say the words here say it all.
it also gave me a good laugh at its truth. hope you don't mind if i use it on my kids.
me-59 ww-55 married 1979 - together since 1974 6 kids together 15,19,21,23,29,30 my oldest son 37 d-day (confession day) memorial day 2001 oc born 12/20/01 now 8 grandchildren
This is a Mum's song for their soldier sons ... mine is home SAFE now ..if a bit troubled - but SAFE !!!
Another day has come and gone, I need a reason to go on, Tell me that you' re coming home Tell me that you're not alone
Tell me son, that you're happy,son marching in your desert D-U's Don't you miss being home, lounging in your jeans?
I shake myself, and to God I pray, that you make it thru, another day It s so hard to watch your baby grow, I worry , that you're in danger But to God and his angels, your mum prays, to them, you are no stranger.
Your good friend Rob says he' s doing well He sends his love, from the island of hell He misses you, and so do I, His mum fights the urge to cry.
I' m a soldiers mum, and I'm doing fine You've taught me to be brave Just sometimes, my boy , my precious son, the fear comes in a wave.
I m sorry, that you heard me cry, I never got to explain, I stubbed my toe, really hard and was crying from the pain.
A soldiers mum almost never cries, We stand strong and tall If our baby boys can do all this, then you know that we can t fall
Your mum here, is doing fine as well as I can be. I' m feeling better every day, 'cause of the pride you've given me
So you got a medal, for shooting you were in!! I knew you 'd be the best I wrote and called just everyone, North, South, East and West.
I am so proud of you, my wonderful son And, a tear in my eye, you 'll never see, You've made me strong, you've make me proud As proud as a mum can be
Forgive me, my baby, That day I sounded bad, My back, it probably hurt Because my you know, my son, my world You have never made me sad.
A soldiers mum, I am, A soldiers mum, I'll be Until the day, my baby boy Comes marching home to me.
Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.
If I were a boy Even just for a day I’d roll out of bed in the morning And throw on what I wanted and go Drink beer with the guys And chase after girls I’d kick it with who I wanted And I’d never get confronted for it Because they’d stick up for me
If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I’d be a better man I’d listen to her Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted Cause he’s taken you for granted And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy I would turn off my phone Tell everyone its broken So they think that I was sleeping alone I’d put myself first And make the rules as I go Cause I know that she’d be faithful Waiting for me to come home
If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I’d be a better man I’d listen to her Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted (wanted) Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted) And everything you had got destroyed
It’s a little too late for you to come back Say its just a mistake Think I forgive you like that If you thought I would wait for you You thought wrong
But you're just a boy You don’t understand (yea you don’t understand) How it feels to love a girl Someday you’ll wish you were a better man You don’t listen to her You don’t care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted Cause you've taken her for granted And everything you had got destroyed But you're just a boy…
Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.
