I am a man who walks alone
And when I’m walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it’s dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear
that something’s always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone’s always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you’re searching for the light?
Sometimes when you’re scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You’ve sensed that something’s watching you

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear
that something’s always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone’s always there

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one’s there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you’re sure there’s someone there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear
that something’s always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone’s always there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear
that something’s always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone’s always there

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear
that something’s always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone’s always there

When I’m walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

This is one of my all time favorite tunes.

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Run in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies

And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

And if you don’t love me now (you don’t love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

Listen to the wind blow, down comes the night
Running the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
Break the silence, damn the dark, damn the light

And if you don’t love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

And if you don’t love me now (you don’t love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

And if you don’t love me now (you don’t love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying (still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain keep us together (running in the shadow)
Chain

Never tried to before, just tried, used the link and it posted only the link, not the pic and play button.

If you would be so kind as to tell me how to post it the way you do, I’d appreciate that.

Thank you.

And now I don’t know why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes

And it might not be wise
I’d still have to try
With all the love I have inside
I can’t deny

I just can’t let it die
'Cause her heart’s just like mine
She holds her pain inside

So if you ask me why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
I know somewhere inside

There is a special light
Still shining bright
And even on the darkest night
She can’t deny

So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive
I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within’ her eyes

No matter how I try
They say it’s all a lie
So what’s the use of my
Confessions to a crime
Of passions that won’t die
In my heart

So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive
I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within’ her eyes

So if she’s somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There’s no one else
Could ever make me feel
I’m so alive

I hoped she’d never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I’ve searched the universe
And found myself
Within’ her eyes

And now I don’t know why
She wouldn’t say goodbye
It just might be that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And now it seems that I
Gave up my ghost of pride
I’ll never say goodbye

“No More Mr. Nice Guy”

Alice Cooper

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing

'Til they got a hold of me

I opened doors for little old ladies

I helped the blind to see

I got no friends 'cause they read the papers

They can’t be seen with me

And I’m gettin’ real shot down

And I’m feeling mean

No more Mister Nice Guy

No more Mister Clean

No more Mister Nice Guy

They say he’s sick, he’s obscene

I got no friends 'cause they read the papers

They can’t be seen with me

And I’m feelin’ real shot down

And I’m, I’m gettin’ mean

No more Mister Nice Guy

No more Mister Clean

No more Mister Nice Guy

They say he’s sick, he’s obscene

My dog bit me on the leg today

My cat clawed my eyes (Nice guy)

Ma’s been thrown out of the social circle

And dad has to hide

I went to church incognito

When everybody rose, the Reverend Smith

He, he recognized me

And punched me in the nose, he said

No more Mister Nice Guy

No more Mister Clean

No more Mister Nice Guy

He said you’re sick, you’re obscene

No more Mister Nice Guy

No more Mister Clean

No more Mister Nice Guy

He said you’re sick, you’re obscene

i) Maintenance Drugs
They give me maintenance drugs
Said I’ll be okay
They give me maintenance drugs
They said I’d be okay
So I’m taking my time
Living from day to day
You gotta live

No one knows how much time
No one knows how much time
No one knows how much time they’ve got left
N’est-ce pas?

An hour before it’s dark

They give me maintenance drugs
Said I’ll be okay
They test me once a year
They test me once a year

You have to care
You have to care
You have to care
You have to care

No one knows how much time
No one knows how much time
No one knows
They said I’ll be okay
They said I’ll be okay

An hour before it’s dark
They said I’ll be okay
An hour before it’s dark

An domhan
Whether you like it or not
When it’s gone,
it’s gonna take you with it
This one
Whether you like it or not
When it’s gone,
it’s gonna take you with it
An domhan
Whether you like it or not
When it’s gone,
it’s gonna take you with it
This one
Whether you like it or not
When it’s gone, it’s gonna take you with it
It’s gonna take you with it
It’s gonna take you with it
It’s gonna take you with it
It’s gonna take you with it

ii) An Hour Before It’s Dark
An hour before it’s dark
An hour before it’s dark
An hour before it’s dark

These are the days that
will flash before our eyes at the end
These are the moments burned into the sacred places of our hearts
Thank you for making me truly, truly alive
In a life where luxury was sometimes,
to survive under the weight of lost love,
disillusionment and shame
You came warm, and loved

Me like a tropical storm
Spiralled me up into the air

iii) Every Cell
These are the days that
will flash before our eyes at the end
Yours are the words that
will whisper in my body as it fades
Yours is the laughter burned into my days
Locked away in every cell
I came, I saw, I fell,
And I changed
Found freedom in a diamond I won’t trade
Not even for heaven

And as I unpeeled you, you realised
You loved me enough to leave me forever

iv) Angels On Earth
The angels in this world
are not in the walls of churches
The angels in this world
are not in the walls of churches
The angels in this world
are not on the walls of churches
The heroes in this world
are not in the hall of fame
The angels in this world
are not in the walls of churches

I saw a man paint a woman on the wall
Mask on her face, screen over her eyes
Hospital clothing, worried and exhausted
A thing of beauty, a thing of care
Pure class right there, right there
The angels in this world
are not in the walls of churches

The angels in this world
are not in the walls of churches
The angels in this world
are not rendered in bronze or stone
The heroes in this world,
working while we’re all sleeping
She wrapped her arms around me
He wrapped his arms around me
She wrapped her arms around me
He wrapped his arms around me

An angel here on earth came down here
To carry me home
To carry me home.

Duran Duran’s Ordinary World.

I listened to this over and over going through my divorce in 2005/06.

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio
Still I can’t escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some’d say
Where is the life that I recognise? (Gone away)

But I won’t cry for yesterday, there’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
“Pride will tear us both apart”
Well, now pride’s gone out the window
'Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?
Crazy, some’d say
Where is my friend when I need you most? (Gone away)

But I won’t cry for yesterday, there’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah
Gone away
Oh-oh

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Fear today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh-ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

Just blowing away

And I don’t cry for yesterday, there’s an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

I will learn to survive
(Any world is my world) I will learn to survive
(Any world is my world)
(Every world is my world)
(Every world)

I’m living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain’t had enough
I keep saying that it’s getting too much
But I know I’m a liar

Feeling alright in the noise and the light
But that’s what lights my fire

Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, knock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I’ll make it come true
Hellraiser, I’ll put a spell on you

Walking out on another stage
Another town, another place
Sometimes I don’t feel right
Nerves wound up too damn tight
People keep telling me it’s bad for my health
But kicking back don’t make it

Out of control, I play the ultimate role
But that’s what lights my fire

Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, knock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I’ll make it come true
Hellraiser, I’ll put a spell on you

I’m living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain’t had enough

Feeling alright in the noise and the light
But that’s what lights my fire

Hellraiser, in the thunder and heat
Hellraiser, knock you back in your seat
Hellraiser, and I’ll make it come true
Hellraiser, I’ll put a spell on you

Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There’s a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time

So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It’s a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You’re playin’ to win
But you lose just the same

So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

So many years since I’ve seen your face
Here in my heart, there’s an empty space
Where you used to be

So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I’ve still got the blues for you.

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man.

Mama told me when I was young
“Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it’ll help you some sunny day, ah yeah”

“Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You’ll find a woman, yeah, and you’ll find love
And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above”

“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can”

“Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied”

“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can”

Oh yes, I will

“Boy, don’t you worry, you’ll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son, is to be satisfied”

“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can”

Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man

Hold On My Heart by Genesis.

Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know we’ve been here before
We both know what can happen

Hold on my heart
'cause I’m looking over you shoulder
Please don’t rush in this time
Don’t show her how you feel

Hold on my heart
Throw me a lifeline
I’ll keep a place for you
Somewhere deep inside

Hold on my heart
Please tell her to be patient
'Cause there has never been a time
That I wanted something more

If I can recall this feeling
And I know there’s a chance
Oh I will be there
Yes I will be there
Be there for you
Whenever you want me to
Whenever you call I will be there
Yes I will be there

Hold on my heart
Don’t let her see you crying
No matter where I go
She’ll always be with me

Hold on my heart
Just hold on to that feeling
We both know we’ve been here before
We both know what can happen
So hold on my heart

No Reply At All by Genesis.

I felt like this with my 1st wife.

Talk to me, you never talk to me.
Ooh, it seems that I can speak.
But I can hear my voice shouting out.
But there’s no reply at all.

Look at me, you never look at me,
Ooh, I’ve been sitting, staring, seems so long.
But you’re looking through me
Like I wasn’t here at all.
No reply, there’s no reply at all.

Dance with me, you never dance with me.
Ooh, it seems that I can move,
I’m close to you, close as I can get.

Yet there’s no reply at all,
There’s no reply at all.

I get the feeling you’re tryin’ to tell me,
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you tryin’ to sell me?
Should I be reading stop or go, I don’t know.

Be with me, seems you’re never here with me,
Ooh, I’ve been trying to get over there.
Ah, but it’s out of my reach.
And there’s no reply at all.
There’s no reply at all.

I get the feeling you’re trying to tell me;
Is there something that I should know?
What excuse are you trying to sell me?
Should I be reading stop or go, I don’t know.

Maybe deep down inside,
I’m trying for no one else but me.
Too stubborn to say, “The buck stops here.
It’s not the one you’re looking for.”
But, maybe deep down inside,
I’m lying to no one else but me.
Oh but my back is up.
I’m on my guard - with all the exits sealed.

Listen to me, you never listen to me,
Ooh, and it seems there’s no way out,
I’ve been trying, but we cannot connect,
And there’s no reply at all,
There’s no reply at all,
There’s no reply at all,
No reply at all.

Is anybody listening - oh oh,
No reply at all.

I can’t take anymore
I have no more wings
I can’t take anymore
The gates of heaven sealed

Don’t you hear me
Don’t you hear me
Don’t you fear me
Of never coming back
Do you know what it’s like
When heaven’s hung in black

I can’t take anymore
Our walls are black and bleed
I can’t take anymore
No rooms here for your screams

Don’t you hear me
Don’t you hear me
Don’t you fear me
Of never coming back
Oh, no more tears please
Hanging heaven black

No don’t you leave me to die
Don’t you leave me to die
Don’t you leave me to die
No don’t you leave me to die

And you’ll know what it’s like
The wailing wall of sighs
Hanging heaven black
And you’ll know what it’s like
When paradise is blind
When heaven’s hung in black

Time - How can you say
That I’ve no time
Am I blind - now you say that
Heaven’s blind, yeah
Across the bridge of sighs, blind, time, time

Oh lord, don’t you leave me to die
No, don’t you leave me to die
Don’t you leave me to die
No lord, don’t you leave me to die

And you’ll know what it’s like
The wailing wall of sighs
Hanging heaven black
And you’ll know what it’s like
When paradise is blind
Painting heaven black
Across the bridge of sighs
Your losing heaven’s light
Heavens hung in black

We could turn another page
Keep the lions in the cage
The battlefield is bleeding red
Land of glory, monster dead
Into a world without frontiers
With no hate, regret or fears
We’ll burn to ashes in a flash
If we don’t change, we’re gonna crash

Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker
Peacemaker, peacemaker

Peacemaker, peacemaker
Bury the undertaker

The evil monster is still alive
Even after all this time
It’s been written in the stars
Forever love, stop the war
A ray of light is shining down
Tomorrow’s 'round the corner now
Now the future’s in your hands
Do you remember? Yes, we can

Peacemaker, peacemaker
Is there a better life
Peacemaker, peacemaker
Under the sun
Peacemaker, peacemaker
There ain’t no paradise
Peacemaker, peacemaker

Peacemaker, peacemaker
