| Thirteen Song Lyrics with Mean and or a Message 1.... Wish you were Here - Pink Floyd So, so you think you can tellHeaven from Hell,
 Blue skys from pain.
 Can you tell a green field
 From a cold steel rail?
 A smile from a veil?
 Do you think you can tell?
 And did they get you to tradeYour heros for ghosts?
 Hot ashes for trees?
 Hot air for a cool breeze?
 Cold comfort for change?
 And did you exchange
 A walk on part in the war
 For a lead role in a cage?
 How I wish, how I wish you were here.We're just two lost souls
 Swimming in a fish bowl,
 Year after year,
 Running over the same old ground.
 What have we found?
 The same old fears.
 Wish you were here.
 2... Skating away on the thin of the New Day - Jethro Tull Meanwhile back in the year Onewhen you belonged to no-one
 you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone.
 `Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society
 one day you'll wake up in the Present Day
 a million generations removed from expectations
 of being who you really want to be.
 3... Hymn 43 - Jethro Tull Oh father high in heavensmile down upon your son
 whose busy with his money games
 his women and his gun.
 Oh Jesus save me!
 And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three
 and made his name in Hollywood
 to set the white man free.
 Oh Jesus save me!
 If Jesus saves -- well, He'd better save Himselffrom the gory glory seekers who use His name in death.
 Oh Jesus save me!
 I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon
 His cross was rather bloody
 He could hardly roll His stone.
 Oh Jesus save me!
 4... Sorry - Buckcherry This time i think i'm to blameIt's harder to get through the days
 We get older and blame turns to shame
 'Cause everything inside it never comes out right
 And when i see you cry it makes me wanna die.
 I'm sorry i'm bad, i'm sorry i'm blue
 I'm sorry about all the things i said to you
 And i know i can't take it back
 I love how you kiss, i love all your sounds
 And baby the way you make my world go 'round
 And i just wanted to say i'm sorry.
 5.... Through Glass - Stone Sour I'm looking at you through the glass...Don't know how much time has passed
 Oh god it feels like forever
 But no one ever tells you that forever
 Feels like home sitting all alone inside your head
 How do you feel? That is the question
 6.... See you in the Light - Micheal Franti The vampires gather around me, angling to take a bite.They want to drink my blood of courage, and try to take away my fight.
 But no, no, no, they can't do that, no, for one truth I've learned in life.
 You want to scare away the vampires, you simply guide them into the light.
 7.... I know am not alone - Michael Franti But I know, I know, I know I'm not aloneand I know, I know, I know I'm not alone
 Every time I read the news,
 I'm always more confused they're tellin' me to choose but there's only lies to choose from
 How many died today? How many lost their homes or shot a gun, or a loved one?
 8.... The Last Saskatchewan Pirate - Arrogant Worms I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine,I had a little stretch of land along the city line
 But time went by and though I tried, the money wasnt there
 And bankers came and took my land and told me fair is fair
 I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
 Hire you now? theyd always laugh, we just let twenty go!
 The government, the promised me a measly little sum
 But Ive got too much pride to end up just another bum.
 Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
 Im gonna be a pirate on the river saskatchewan!!!
 9... What if God was one of Us - Alanis Morissette What if God was one of us?Just a slob like one of us
 Just a stranger on the bus
 Trying to make his way home
 Just trying to make his way home
 Back up to Heaven all alone
 Nobody callin' on the phon
 ecept for the Pope maybe in Rome
 
 10.. Cemetery - The Headstones I got a gal who lives on the wrong side of townI know what I like and man you know I sure know how
 It's the other side another place
 I like it there no accounting for taste
 I can't think of nothing when I'm with her
 But the rain and the wind and the cemetery dirt
 Went down to the cemetery looking for loveGot there and my baby was buried
 I had to dig her up
 Went down to the cemetery looking for love
 Got there and my baby was buried
 I had to dig her up
 11... I Don't Wanna Stop - Ozzy Osborne All my life I've been over the topI don't know what I'm doing
 All I know is I don't wanna stop
 All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
 You're either in or in the way
 Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
 Why don't they ever listen to me?Is this the one way conversation?
 Nothing they say is gonna set me free
 Don't need no mental masturbation
 Too many religions for only one godI don't need another saviour
 Don't try to change my mind
 You know I'm one of a kind
 Ain't gonna change my bad behaviour
 12.. Lovers In a Dangerous Time - Barenaked Ladies (Cover) Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go byYou never get to stop and open your eyes
 One day you're waiting for the sky to fall
 And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all
 When you're lovers in a dangerous time
 Lovers in a dangerous time
 13... Imagine -  John Lennon Imagine there's no HeavenIt's easy if you try
 No hell below us
 Above us only sky
 Imagine all the people
 Living for today
 Imagine there's no countries
 It isn't hard to do
 Nothing to kill or die for
 And no religion too
 Imagine all the people
 Living life in peace
 You may say that I'm a dreamer
 But I'm not the only one
 I hope someday you'll join usAnd the world will be as one
 Imagine no possessionsI wonder if you can
 No need for greed or hunger
 A brotherhood of man
 Imagine all the people
 Sharing all the world
 You may say that I'm a dreamer
 But I'm not the only one
 I hope someday you'll join us
 And the world will live as one

Like the list. Love number 13.
Great list! Imagine is as relevant today, as it was when it was first released. Brilliant songs :)
Happy TT
Here's to you...from a fellow pagan! If god were one of us she would be like you and me! nice blog. kudos!
I think "What if God where one of us" is by Joan Osborne, I could be wrong.
I agree- JKR did show that war is evil and senseless but why kill Tonks and Lupin randomly? It makes me sad still. They were great characters that weren't given enough time in the books, I feel.
Jethro Tull were an amazing band. I can see Ian Anderson now, flute in hand, those manic looks but that beautiful voice.
Happy Thursday!
I really like the lyrics to #7 by Michael Franti. I have one of the albums that he did with Spearhead (Stay Human). As a Cynical, Lovable Girl mentioned, "One of Us" is a Joan Osborne song. :-)
In case you didn't check the box in my comments section to receive email replies, I responded to your question regarding the omission of Batman and Robin from my T13.
It seems like music is a common thread for today's T13 - and I think that the BareNaked Ladies did a SUPERB cover of Bruce Cockburn's Lovers in a Dangerous Time (better than the original - and I'm a Cockburn fan). Great List!
I don't know all of the songs, but the lyrics are meaningful! Thanks for visiting my reiki TT and inviting me for the Pagan Bloggers Network.
Great list. I have always been a big fan of 1,9 and 13 myself. I will have to check the others out.
Thanks for visiting my TT. I appreciate the info.
GREAT list.
I didn't know Alanis covered that Joan Osborne song "One of Us". I have ever heard her version. I'll have to check it out.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Cheers
Barbara @ The Love Blog
PS, thanks for all the cool Wicca info. I'll be back for more of that. :)
