Jim Morrison’s Grave - Steve Taylor - This is the video for Steve Taylor’s classic song, “Jim Morrison’s Grave.” This video landed on MTV’s “120 Minutes” back in 1987.

Jim Morrison’s Grave (Lyrics)

Am I a pilgrim?
Or another souvener hound?

In the city of lights I set my sights
On a king’s domain.

It was a manhole
Dug over at the edge of town
And a spray can scrawl
on a cemetary wall
says “You’d better behave”

Jim Morrison’s Grave!

It’s getting cold here
And there ain’t a lizard in sight

Did the end begin
When you shed your skin
In the home of the brave?

Somebody shake him
From the land of larger than life
Where the remnant warn
of a legend born
In a dead man’s cave.

Jim Morrison’s Grave!

I stay driven ‘cause there’s nowhere to park
I can’t shut my eyes, I’m afraid of the Dark

I lie awake

That stone left me chilled to the bone
Sound the alarm before it’s done

Find Jim Morrision!

Come away to Paris
Let him see another day
Let him fade out slowly
Only fools burn away
Let a true love show him what a heart can become
Somebody find Jim Morrison

Find Jim Morrison’s Grave!

Ohhhh……

I get weary, Lord I don’t understand
How a seed get strangled in the heart of a man,
While the music covers like an evening mist,
Like a watch still ticking on a dead man’s wrist
Tick away……

Fifty-Eight - The Prayer Chain

 

Lyrics:

He learned to run
when I learned to walk
left me with an empty hole
with no one to fill it
I stand in the doorway
waiting for arms to run into

the sky seems so far away
and the sun seems so dark today…

Take my fist
and hold it in your hand
Take my rage
and bury my pain
why won’t you love me?
why won’t you hold me?

Walk away, Walk away
the tears begin to say
But a kiss on my forehead
is all that I need
and one small caress
to know that you
still love me

the sky seems so far away
and the sun seems so dark today…

The Choir - Render Love (Audio)

An 80’s underground classic!

Lyrics:

Ash is what fools reap, war what they sow
What does a man gain if he loses his soul?
What can a man rule who conquers his world
Then falls out his window and loses his girl?

Render love
Let there be peace in the land
Reconcile woman and man
Lay down your weapons and lift up your fear

Stranger meet brother, pass the peace pipe
See in the man’s eyes no stereotype
Love waits at our door, the Spirit Divine
Sow it in your heart, reap it in mine

Render love
Let there be peace in the land
Reconcile woman and man
Lay down your weapons and lift up your fear
Render love
Hold out your hand, be the one
Reconcile father and son
Love is the reason you’re here

Render love to your world
Render love to your world
Render love to your world
Render love to your world

Render love
Let there be peace in the land
Reconcile woman and man
Lay down your weapons and lift up your fear
Render love, hold out your hand, be the one
Reconcile father and son
Love, after all, is the reason we’re here….

The 77’s – MT
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05otChTdox4

MT (Lyrics)

Come on let me in
I swear I’ll be your only friend
And I will get down on my knees for you
And if I could
You know I would do anything at all
To get you near today
Hear me say

You’re more than money
More than glory
More than I could ever hope to say
You’re more than beauty
More than mystery
More than now
More than yesterday

Take me to your heart
‘Cuz there is where we make it start
And I will get down on my knees for you
And pay the price
Sacrifice
Do anything at all to melt your soul on ice
Realize

You’re more than money
More than glory
More than I could ever hope to say
You’re more than beauty
More than mystery
More than now
More than yesterday

More than a lover
More than a friend
More than a talent
More than a trend
More than a mystery
More than a dance
More than your history
More than romance
More than your politics
More than your plans
More than a sure thing
More than a chance
More than your weakness
More than your strength
More than completeness
More than fragments
