In the midst of a torrential downpour...my tears rain down in a torrid tempest. Hence the stubbed toe was born.

Oh For Gods Sake

I never do copies.  Oh wait - I've done one...

lyrics:

strolling down the street i knew so well
when i was a boy and made my way to
school

and the school was closed long time ago
because bleeding us dry nowadays seems to be
cool

we create new dead end towns

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

young people turned their backs on that one way street
and all the factories are rotten but you built a new town
hall

and the color of the town slowly turned into a grey
like the face of a forgotten but the cemetry is pretty
green

a field of broken dreams

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
don't let it get you

goodbye hawk hill lane
i don't miss you
goodbye hawk hill lane
you know i still love you
don't let it get you

Lyrics
Here comes the noise again
it's creeping in my head
reminding me
of all the things you said


In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

Stood on the great wall again
chasing dreams in my  head
spell bound
by the girl in red

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
when the time is right
it's a chance for
you and me

reached out my hand again
feel the steel in your veins
driven on 
by a burning flame

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
you can see
right through everything
through you 
and me
you and me

In the brightest light
you see all your life
it's a picture of 
me and you

In the reflected light
when the time is right
it's a chance for
me and you

The reflected light

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

NOTHING'S EVER GONNA MAKE ME STOP
DANCING ROCKING LIKE THE BLITZRIEG BOP
THERE WILL BE ROCKING AND ROLLING ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

WE MIGHT END UP DANCING WITH THE COPS
ROCKING ON TO THE JAILHOUSE ROCK
AND THE JUDGE SAYS ROCK ON ALL NIGHT

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE

EVERYBODY'S GONNA HIT THE GROUND
GOT A TICKET TO A GREAT BIG SOUND
AND THE SIGN SAYS RAIN HAIL OR SHINE

YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLY
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE
WHEN I'M ROCKING IN THE NIGHT
OH I MUST BE HYPNOTIZED
I'M HEARING SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE
