Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.
***WARNING***
Some may find the lyrics of the songs, and the imagery of the videos, quite disturbing. So, be prepared to close your eyes and ears at any moment, but please keep your heart and mind open.

Livin’ On A Thin Line
The Kinks
All the stories
Have been told
Of kings
And days of old
But there’s no England now
There’s no England now
All the wars there were won or lost
Somehow don’t seem to matter
Very much anymore
All the lies we were told
All the lies we were told
All the lies of the people running around
Their castles have burned
Now I see change
But inside
We’re the same
As we ever were
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh
Tell me now
What are we
Supposed to do
Livin’ on a thin line
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh
Tell me now
What we are
Supposed to do
Livin’ on a thin line
Livin’ on a thin line
Livin’ this way
Each day is a dream
What am I
What are we
Supposed to do
Livin’ on a thin line
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh
Tell me now
What are we
Supposed to do
Now another century nearly gone
What are we gonna leave for the young
What we couldn’t do
What we wouldn’t do
It’s a crime
But does it matter
Does it matter much
Does it matter much to you
Does it ever really matter
Yes it really really matters
Livin’ on a thin line
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh
Tell me now
What are we
Supposed to do
Livin’ on a thin line
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh
Tell me now
What are we
Supposed to do
Now another leader says
Break their hearts
And break some heads
Is there nothing
We can say or do
Blame the future on the past
Always lost in blood and guts
And when they’re gone
It’s me and you
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh
Tell me now
What are we
Supposed to do
Livin’ on a thin line
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh
Tell me now
What are we
Supposed to do
Livin’ on a thin line
Ooh ooh

I’m Not Like Everybody Else
The Kinks
I won’t take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile
Though I wear a frown
‘Cause I’m not goin’ to take it all lyin’ down
‘Cause once I get started
I go to town
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
And I don’t want to ball about
Like everybody else
And I don’t want to live my life
Like everybody else
And I won’t say that I feel fine
Like everybody else
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
But darlin’ you know that I live you true
Do anything that you want me to
Confess all my sins like you want me to
There’s one thing that I will say to you
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
And I don’t want to ball about
Like everybody else
And I don’t want to live my life
Like everybody else
And I won’t say that I feel fine
Like everybody else
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
If you all want me to settle down
Slow up and stop all my runnin’ around
Do everything like you want me to
There’s one thing that I will say to you
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
And I don’t want to ball about
Like everybody else
And I don’t want to live my life
Like everybody else
And I won’t say I feel fine
Like everybody else
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else
I’m not like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Live everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
Like everybody else
I won’t take all that they hand me down
And make out a smile
Though I wear a frown
‘Cause I’m not goin’ to take it all lyin’ down
‘Cause once I get started
I go to town
‘Cause I’m not…

"There’s no England now"
ReplyDeleteSounds OK to me.......
Yeah, I figured that you might really enjoy that line. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Adullamite!!!
ReplyDeleteit was a great song living in a thin line and ur true whew!!! the pictures were really disturbing. but its d reality whew!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, my dear Zuveena. The "official" video is quite different, but the record company has made sure (to the extent that I am aware of) that it shalt not be embedded upon sites like this. In other words, embedding was disabled per request on YouTube, and I wasn't able to find an embeddable copy anywhere else. Nonetheless, it is indeed a great song, and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for stopping by!!!
ReplyDeleteDifferent...
ReplyDeleteSomewhat, I suppose. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Annie!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Kinks - one of the greatest bands ever.
ReplyDeleteI must admit to being rather embarrassed about just how many great songs there are that I did not realize were theirs until long after I first heard them. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Mike!!! I'm glad you are not too upset with me.
