THE POLICE - Message in a Bottle

- what does this have to say about the results of Western individualism?


Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh

I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but
Love can break your heart
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems I'm not alone in being alone
Hundred billion castaways, looking for a home
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I'll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S.
Sending out at an S.O.S...
 
You've got to change your evil ways, baby
Before I stop lovin' you
-- Santana

You're no good,
You're no good,
You're no good.
Baby, you're no good.
I'm gonna say it again.
You're no good,
You're no good,
You're no good.
Baby, you're no good.
-- Linda Ronstadt
 
Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes (sung as a prayer)

In Your eyes- The light the heat
In Your eyes- I am complete
In Your eyes- I see the doorway of a thousand churches
In Your eyes- The resolution of all my fruitless searches

Oh I feel the light and the heat, Oh I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light, the heat I see in Your eyes......
 
King's X's Black Flag.

I walked in today, my usual way, looking through a 2 X 4
It colored my view, I couldn't see you Or maybe I just wouldn't.
 
Love has no pride when I call out your name
Love has no pride when there's no one left to blame
I'd give anything to see you again
-- Linda Ronstadt
 
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go
-- John Lennon
