As an old Millennial I am contractually required to like anything Phil Collins.

Some Classic Metal

Testament-Practice What You Preach








You think your life's so gray
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away

Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make, your mind goes blank
And then you lose control
Then you lose control

I never was the one, the one to say the things you say
Never seem to wonder what you say
You think you got your life completely in control
You got a lot to learn, the bridge you burned
It's gonna take its toll
Pay the burnt bridge toll

So practice what you preach
Practice what you preach
Preach!
Practice what you preach
Practice what you preach
Preach!
Practice what you preach

You think your life's so gray
You don't believe a word you say
Your feet aren't on the ground
You let your life just slip away

Just so uncertain of your body and your soul
The promises you make, your mind goes blank
And then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll
Then you lose control
Pay the burnt bridge toll

So practice what you preach
So practice what you preach
Preach!
Practice what you preach
Practice what you preach
Preach!

I enjoy the goth music of the 80s. In this particular song, I really like the synth at the beginning.

New Order-Blue Monday '88








Original:



How does it feel
To treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more

I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me, how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel
Now I stand here waiting

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walk down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold, grows cold...

Belinda Carlisle-Band Of Gold









Now that you're gone, all that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold, a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

You took me from the shelter of my mother
I had never known or loved any other
We kissed after taking vows
But that night on our honeymoon
We stayed in separate rooms

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom, hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

Now you've been gone, all that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold, a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

(Memories of what love could be)
(If you were still here with me)

Don't you know that I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom, hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

Since you've been gone, all that's left is a band of gold
All that's left of the dreams I hold, a band of gold
And the memories of what love could be
If you were still here with me

I wait in the darkness of my lonely room
Filled with sadness, filled with gloom, hoping soon
That you'll walk back through that door
And love me like you tried before

How I really feel....

The Smiths-Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now .....








I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And Heaven knows, I'm miserable now

In my life, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?

Two lovers entwined pass me by
And Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And Heaven knows, I'm miserable now

In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said
And I naturally fled

In my life, why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But Heaven knows, I'm miserable now
"Oh, you've been in the house too long", she said
And I naturally fled

In my life, oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die?
