Ok, I play this track for Louise

Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now

or I prefer the version from the film 'Switch'. The one where ther guy gets turned into a woman.

Clannad & Paul Young - Both Sides Now.

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons evrywhere
Ive looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on evryone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
Ive looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its cloud illusions I recall
I really dont know clouds at all

Moons and junes and ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As evry fairy tale comes real
Ive looked at love that way

But now its just another show
You leave em laughing when you go
And if you care, dont let them know
Dont give yourself away

Ive looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
Its loves illusions I recall
I really dont know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say I love you right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
Ive looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say Ive changed
Well somethings lost, but somethings gained
In living evry day

Ive looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all
Ive looked at life from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
Its lifes illusions I recall
I really dont know life at all

this is a great tune ...cud be a trans tune lol

Keane ..... Everybodys Changing

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

This is an excellent tune ,,download it if u can

The Zutons ...... Why Won`t you Give me Your Love ?

What can I do, what can I say
To make you want me more
To have your love and show you more
That's all I'm asking for,
I've been around the block so many times
And I need a place to stop

I only want whats right for you
And you could be right for us
I hear the same thing all the time
And you know that I don't care
I don't like the way your hanging around
And I sure don't like your hair

Ooo oooh
Why won't you give me your love?
Ooo oooh
Why won't you give me your love?

I chain you up I make you mine I keep you
Locked downstairs with all the bugs
And all the rats I'll feed you rodent hair
I'll keep you in my celler safe
And I'll keep you there 'till dawn
I'll wait until the sun comes up
Then I'll poke and prod you more into your tired
And your having a date
But that don't mean much to me
And when I see you out in town
I'm gonna hide so you can't see

Ooo oooh
Why wont you give me your love?
Ooo oooh
Why wont you give me tour love?

Why wont you give me your love,
Why wont you give me your love,
Why wont you give me your love,
Why wont you give me your love (give me your love)
Why wont you give me your love (give me your love)
Why wont you give me your love?

Well I'm leaving my long adopted town soon, so here here is a tribute to it. It's about a few hundred years old, the song that is.

The Road & the Miles to Dundee

Cauld winter was howlin' o'er moor and o'er mountain
And wild was the surge of the dark rolling sea,
When I met about daybreak a bonnie young lassie,
Wha asked me the road and the miles to Dundee.

Says I, "My young lassie, I canna' weel tell ye
The road and the distance I canna' weel gie.
But if you'll permit me tae gang a wee bittie,
I'll show ye the road and the miles to Dundee".

At once she consented and gave me her arm,
Ne'er a word did I speir wha the lassie micht be,
She appeared like an angel in feature and form,
As she walked by my side on the road to Dundee.

At length wi' the Howe o' Strathmartine behind us,
The spires o' the toon in full view we could see,
She said "Gentle Sir, I can never forget ye
For showing me far on the road to Dundee".

I took the gowd pin from the scarf on my bosom
-And said "Keep ye this in remembrance 0' me
Then bravely I kissed the sweet lips o' the lassie,
E'er I parted wi' her on the road to Dundee.

So here's to the lassie, I ne'er can forget her,
And lika young laddie that's listening to me,
O never be sweer to convoy a young lassie
Though it's only to show her the road to Dundee.

this is a deep and meaningful song ....... i Love it

oooooooooooooooooooooh i love this song i Just heard it on the radio and it bough back some memories

Level 42 .......... Leaving Me Now


It seems true love is so rare
Seems all I’ve known is deceit
Your laughter fills the air
Once more I’m sensing defeat

And I suppose you’re leaving me now
I was so sure now I’m so full of doubt
And I suppose you’ll be leaving this place
Just like the smile you wiped from my face
This time

I always gave my best
Your memory serves you so badly
Some people kill for less
Yet I’d still die for you gladly oh, so gladly

But I suppose it’s my turn now
To play a scene that’s familiar somehow
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time
Walk away
You don’t need me

Once more I’m learning
In the depths of my despair
Your lies confirming
True love is so rare

And I suppose it’s my turn now
There’s no more love only feelings of doubt
Gone with the hope your words have erased
Gone with the smile you wiped from my face

Love is a ship we all hope to steer
Through troubled times cross an ocean of tears
A midnight sea that swells in your eyes
Takes just one look to know I’m still mesmerized

But I suppose you’re leaving me now
I was so sure now I’m so full of doubt
I turn the page and you walk away
Not even love could bring you to stay
This time

Leaving me now
Leaving this place
I watch you walk away with an easy grace

Well this is a song actually about TS

David Byrne - Uh Oh - Now I'm your Mom

He is a boy
You are a girl
And you will always stay that way
But there are people
In this world
Who'd like to change what nature made

And if you take that decision
Then they will make that incision - down below

The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
But I never heard a word they're tellin' me

Oh little girl
Please understand
And listen to the words I say
I was your dad
Now I'm your mom
I hope you'll comprehend someday

I didn't mean to confuse you
And now I know that it's hard to understand

The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
But I never heard a word they're sayin'
Goin' tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'

And when Columbus sailed
Upon that mighty sea
Well, we are just like him
Yes, we are pioneers

Into the great unknown
The wild uncharted lands
There ain't no turning back
Ain't gonna be no chains on me

Who would ever believe
Caterpillars like me
Turning into a butterfly
Well, I was suddenly free

The birds and the bees
Are singin' for me
And this is the song I heard them singin'
Tweedle dee dee
Tweedle dee dee
Freedom of choice is what they're bringin'

You know I'm man enough
Ain't gonna run and hide
My love is mighty tough
My love is mighty wild

I got a pair o' wings
And I'm gonna fly away
Too late to turn back now
Tomorrow came today - for me

Nerina Pallot ...Everybody`s Gone To War

I’ve got a friend, he’s a pure-bred killing machine
He said he’s waited his whole damn life for this
I knew him well when he was seventeen
Now he’s a man, he’ll be dead by Christmas

So, everybody’s going to war
But we don’t know what we’re fighting for
Don’t tell me it’s a worthy cause
No cause could be so worthy

If love is a drug, I guess we’re all sober
If hope is a song, I guess it’s all over
How to have faith, when faith is crime?
I don’t want to die
If god’s on our side, then god is a joker
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out through the door and straight to sky
I don’t want to die

For every man who wants to rule the world
There’ll be a man who just wants to be free
What do we learn but what should not be learnt
Too late to find a cure for this disease

So, everybody’s gone to war
But we don’t know what we’re fighting for
Don’t tell me it’s a worthy cause
No cause could be so worthy

If love is a drug, I guess we’re all sober
If hope is a song, I guess it’s all over
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don’t want to die
If God’s on our side, then God is a joker
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out of the door and straight to the sky,
I don’t want to die

So, everybody’s gone to war
But we don’t know what we’re fighting for
Don’t tell me it’s a worthy cause
No cause could be so worthy

If love is a drug, I guess we’re all sober
If hope is a song, I guess it’s all over
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don’t want to die
If God’s on our side, then God is a joker
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out of the door and straight to the sky,
I don’t want to die

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine
I think he might be dead by christmas

Morrissey - The world is full of crashing bores

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care, But don't stare
Because he's still there

Lamenting policewomen policemen silly women taxmen
Uniformed whores, They who wish to hurt you, Work within the law
This world is full, So full of crashing bores
And I must be one, 'Cos no one ever turns to me to say
Take me in your arms, Take me in your arms, And love me

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care, And say a prayer
Because he's still there

Lamenting policewomen policemen silly women taxmen
Uniformed whores, Educated criminals, Work within the law
This world is full, Oh oh, So full of crashing bores
And I must be one, cos no one ever turns to me to say
Take me in your arms, Take me in your arms
And love me, And love me

What really lies, Beyond the constraints of my mind
Could it be the sea, With fate mooning back at me
No it's just more lock jawed pop stars
Thicker than pig shit, Nothing to convey
They're so scared to show intelligence
It might smear their lovely career

This world, I am afraid, Is designed for crashing bores
I am not one, I am not one
You don't understand, You don't understand, And yet you can
Take me in your arms and love me, Love me, And love me

Take me in your arms and love me, Love me, love me
Take me in your arms and love me, Take me in your arms and love me
