Michael Dixon is a seasoned agent working linewatch on the US/Mexico Border. Well respected by his peers at US Border Patrol, and well loved by his family (wife Angela and 5 year old daughter Emily), Michael's world is suddenly threatened by secrets from his past. Michael was not always the respectable family man he now has become - he was a vicious Los Angeles gang member who turned his back on the gang and his own brutal ways. But no one can quit the gang, so when a chance encounter leads the gang to Michael in New Mexico, Michael is forced to find a way to protect his family, even if it means helping the psychotic gang leader Drake smuggle a truckload of drugs across the border.

Two years after the Duke of Wellington crushes Napoleon at Waterloo, dispatches from India tell of a local Maharaja, Khande Rao, who is threatening British interests there. Wellington sends Sharpe to investigate on what turns out to be his most dangerous mission to date. When a beautiful general's daughter is kidnapped by the Indian warlord, the tension mounts, leaving Sharpe no option but to pursue the enemy right into its deadly lair.

Madhuvanthi: [to Dodd] And after you have made the plain run red with English blood, once you have ground them into the dirt, what then, my love?

Davi Lal: [Sharpe is asking him to steal from two merchants] But that would be stealing sahib. How am I to be a good British soldier if you make me into a thief again?::Richard Sharpe: It isn't thieving when you're hungry, Davi. That's the first thing any soldier learns. Now go on.

Richard Sharpe: It's a poor bloody spot for a tea party, Captain. Bandit country, and that one picket horse along the track, might call that reckless.

General Sir Henry Simmerson: You should be wary of this one, McRae. He thinks because Wellington raised him up from the sewer that it somehow makes him a gentleman. Don't know your place, do you Sharpie?::Richard Sharpe: Maybe not, but I know how to stand before a French column. I know how to face fire without soiling my breeches and turning tail.

Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: Easy to be brave, with rank and new sunlight behind ye. I hope you sleep light Colonel, lest you find some morning you wake up to find your throat slit!::Richard Sharpe: Is that a threat Sergeant?::Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: Take it as ye please.::Richard Sharpe: Oh I do. So come on, let's sort it out now, just you and me.::Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: [laughs] I weren't born yesterday neither, Colonel. 'Tis a hanging offense to strike an officer!::Richard Sharpe: But like you said, I'm not a company officer.::Sgt Shadrach Bickerstaff: All the same, I will not hit a man wearing the King's Uniform.::Richard Sharpe: No? Well that's easily remedied. [starts unbuttoning his uniform]

Patrick Harper: [enemy cavalry have captured him and Sharpe in their land] It's about time!

The Hunted (2003)

Actors

Plot
In the green woods of Silver Falls, Oregon, Aaron Hallam, a trained assassin AWOL from the Special Forces, keeps his own brand of wildlife vigil. After Hallam brutally slew four deer hunters in the area, FBI Special Agent Abby Durrell turns to L.T. Bonham-- the one man who may be able to stop him. At first L.T. resists the mission. Snug in retirement, he's closed off to his past, the years he spent in the Special Forces training soldiers to become skilled murderers. But when he realizes that these recent slaying is the work of a man he trained, he feels obligated to stop him. Accepting the assignment under the condition that he works alone, L.T. enters the woods, unarmed--plagued by memories of his best student and riddled with guilt for not responding to Aaron's tortured letters to him as he began to slip over the edge of sanity. Furious as he is with his former mentor for ignoring his pleas for help, Aaron knows that he and L.T. share a tragic bond that is unbreakable. And, even as they go into their final combat against each other, neither can say with certainty who is the hunted and who is the hunter.

L.T.: [talking about Aaron Hallam] He's unusual. He can kill anybody without regret. Most of the poeple he killed never knew he was in the same room as them.

L.T.: I made him what he is, I can stop him.

L.T.: [speaks to a group of elite US soldiers] I will teach you how to kill. Quickly. Accurately. Efficiently. It will become a reflex action. You will learn how to enter a combat zone and evaporate into shadow. You will learn how to survive... or you will not!

L.T.: [speaks to 'the best of the best' of the US Armed Forces] Once you are able to kill mentally, the physical part will be easy. The difficult part... is learning how to turn it off.

Aaron Hallam: When you kill with your own hands there is a reverence. There's no reverence in what you do.

Aaron Hallam: If you cross this line, you better be ready to kill me.

Aaron Hallam: What if there was a species above us in the food chain? How do you think you'd feel if that species lost total respect for us... and started slaughtering us wholesale?

L.T.: If I'm not back in two days, it'll mean I'm dead.

Hewitt: He's a killing machine. There is no way he can be indicted or tried in open court, or any court. He cannot be processed, interviewed, charged with a crime, or copped out as a psycho. His picture cannot appear in any newspaper. As far as the world is concerned, sir, Aaron Hallum doesn't exist.

[first lines]::Narrator: [voiceover] God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son." Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on." God say, "no"; Abe say, "what?"

Aegis Oil's corrupt CEO, Michael Jennings, is the kind of person who doesn't care whether or not oil spills into the ocean or onto the land, just as long as it's making money for him. He even makes commercials that make him look like he cares about the environment. Jennings is almost finished with building his new state-of-the art oil rig: AEGIS-1. The problem is that if he doesn't finish building the rig in thirteen days, the land rights will be returned to the Eskimos and the Alaskan government. When Jennings finds out that Taft's best friend Hugh Palmer has a computer disk that contains information about defective equipment on AEGIS-1, he sends out his goons to murder Palmer. When Taft tries to interfere, Jennings tries to kill Taft. But an Eskimo woman named Masu, who introduces Taft to her father Silook, the chief of her tribe, rescues Taft. With Masu's help, Taft begins a trek through the Alaskan wilderness, heading straight for AEGIS-1 and to destroy it before it destroys all of the forest.

Any time the military has an operation that can't fail, they call this guy in to train the troops, OK? He's the kind of guy that would drink a gallon of gasoline so he could piss in your campfire! You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon he's going to show up at your pool side with a million dollar smile and fist full of pesos. This guy's a professional, you got me? If he reaches this rig, we're all gonna be nothing but a big goddamned hole right in the middle of Alaska.

Hugh Palmer: You used to be a good man, Forrest. Now, you're nothing but a WHORE!::Forrest Taft: For 350,000 dollars I'd fuck anything once.

McGruder: Who the fuck is he?::Michael Jennings: You wanna know who he is? Try this: delve down into the deepest bowels of your soul. Try to imagine the ultimate fucking nightmare. And that won't come close to this son of a bitch when he gets pissed.

Forrest Taft: Well, let's see, that's natives 8, oil workers 0. Anyone else wanna play with Cupcake?

Forrest Taft: I guess it doesn't really matter since I kind of blew up all the evidence.

Homer Carlton: [about his machine gun] Well, what do you think? Stock in or out?::Mercenary: I don't think it's going to make much difference.::Homer Carlton: Well, I do, see. 'Cause when it's out I kinda feel like a pussy, you know what I'm saying. And when it's in, it just feels like, I don't know, meaner or something and when I kill the son of a bitch I wanna feel good about myself. I wanna feel solid.

Hubert Wilkins, a bookkeeper for Mr. Bates by day and an air raid warden by night, patrols the district where his boss' warehouse is located, and finds two employees removing raw silk stocks. They say they are working under Bates' orders and brush him off. Hubert wants to marry Emily Conway, company secretary, but can't see how he can afford it since he has loaned a salesman, Fuller, $400 with deeds to four lots as security. Don Bates, son of the boss, is engaged to Emily's sister Sally though his father disapproves. He and Emily encourage Sally and Don to elope. Hubert, a little tipsy, buys two more lots from Fuller and goes to Bates' home and asks for a raise. He is fired and, the next morning, Emily also for helping Don to elope. Hubert discovers that the lots he bought are worth $100,000 and, unknown to Bates, buys the company. While on warden duty that night, he discovers that the two employees he previously saw taking silk from the warehouse are actually stealing it.

https://www.facebook.com/SyStokesSpeaks Being the cousin of Arthur Ashe, I feel as though it is my responsibility to uphold the strong voices of the Black Bruin community. This school has experienced unacceptable instances of injustice recently, and many people are not aware of what is happening at this university. I am a proud Black, Cherokee, and Chinese student at UCLA. Thank you for watching. _________________________________________________________ Word On Wednesdays at UCLA http://www.youtube.com/user/TheWordonWednesdays IG: SYzzle Filmed by Justin Janes & Steven Ng Written and Performed by Sy Stokes Music Composed by David Teel Editing and Post-Production by Justin Janes The Black Bruins: Alex Mercier Mike Wamungu Davontae Foxx Drew Donte Miller Aaron Willis Amir Ali Mike Bailey Jr. Will Edem Oz Azubuike CJ Okoye EzMoney Harper Lyrics: The Last Black Bruins In fall 2012, the total enrollment, graduate and undergraduate, for African American males at UCLA was 660 students. That's 3.3% of the 19, 838 other males enrolled here. Out of that 660 African American male students, 65% are undergraduate athletes. The number of entering male freshman students was 2,418; only 48 of them are African American. The graduation rates for African American males at UCLA is 74%... Which means out of that 48 freshmen last year... Only 35 are predicted to graduate. When we were children, we learned how to mix colors with a paint brush We learned that white mixed with anything makes it brighter But we wouldn't dare mix anything with brown or black or else our entire creation would be ruined What we failed to realize... was that the untouched dark section of the paint brush pallet became the symbol of the melanin in our skin The painter only used us to write words that were dark enough to be noticed on a white background So if words are all we are good for then don't you dare tell us to silence our voices when we choose to speak Now you tell me that I should be proud to be at UCLA? When only 35 of us are predicted to walk across that stage? When most of us are dropping out from the lack of financial aid While Judy Olian, Dean of Anderson School of Management just spent $647,000 on first class flights and hotel stays But waiting for an apology is asking for the impossible Because no snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible But you tell me I should be proud to be a Bruin When we have more national championships than we do black male freshmen It's evident that our only purpose here is to improve your winning percentage So now black high school kids can care less about grades, just as long as the number on the back of their jersey doesn't fade And you tell me I should be proud to be a Bruin But according to Professor Sander, 3.3% is far too many black kids On his perfectly paved roads there are far too many black skids This school is not diverse just because you put it on a pamphlet But you'll name a building after Albert Carnesale who publicly opposes affirmative action The action that can make our fraction on your demographic pie chart look more than just a second hand on a clock It's all.... talk Just to maintain this fraudulent reputation Of this institutionalized racist corporation They don't care about the cultural limitations of being a minority in society So we have become our own painters... with our own pallets... And we have voices that speak defiantly So we IGNITE the flames to help us find the path to our future Increasing Graduations, Not Incarcerations, Transforming Education because our numbers can't be any fewer So don't be surprised that we have become rebellious for what has happened to us When every black student in class feels like Rosa Parks on the bus We are tryin to rewind time with role reversal as our revenge Because we have no other choice when the university refuses to come to our defense But we have come too far to let history repeat itself Even when they are peeling off the dark fur of the Bruin pelt Because our faces are just used to cover up from the public what's really inside Revitalizing lies to perpetuate your disguise Stop pretending that the wounds of our past have healed We're not asking for a handout, we're asking for a level playing field Those with less opportunity are fighting for their position trying to find their place But those with privilege are hitting triples when they were already born on third base So with all of my brothers' hopes and dreams that this university has tried to ruin How the hell am I supposed to be proud... to call myself... a Bruin

Top Styx, While There's Still Time

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
How can I sleep tonight?
When I know that tomorrow I'll be miles away,
And how can I leave if I know when I kiss you goodbye,
Baby you'll cry
Where do I find the words?
To convince you that there's a secret part of me,
That dies every time I must pack up and walk out the door,
When I'm wanting you more
So while there's still time,
Know that I love you,
Baby please hold me tight,
Girl while there's still time
If I could stop the dawn,
Make the moon and the stars shine on forever more,
And never again have to say how much I'm missing you,
But what can I do?
So while there's still time,
Say that you love me,
Baby please hold me tight,
Girl while there's still time
If I should go, if I should go,
There's a chance I could lose,
The love of my life, the love of my life,
Baby please don't make me choose
Believe me
Trust me
Let me inside
And while there's still time,
Forget about tomorrow,
Baby please let's not fight,
Not while there's still time
While there's still time
While there's still time
While there's still time
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...

Top Styx, What Have They Done To You

Written by James Young and Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by James Young and Tommy Shaw
There must be something out there,
There must be something real
Well this mystery's a nightmare
And I don't know what to feel
Well I heard you had a hell of a time there
I guess it chilled you down to the bone
If there's one thing I can tell you
It'll never leave you less than alone
In spite of everything you told me
In spite of everything I've heard
There's nothing here that I call holy
Not a solitary word
Could you tell me what it's like on the outside
Were you really lost and out of control
Were you reaching for your freedom
When the gatekeeper called for the toll
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh, I wanna run to you
In spite of what you're saying
I still can't let you go
Well they say you witnessed some kind of lefe there
Was it something real or nothing at all
Or is your imagination all that's there to catch you
If you start to fall
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh I wanna run to you
In spite of what you're saying
I still can't let you go
Oh-oh, what have they done to you
Where, where have you gone
Oh-oh I wanna run to you
In spite of what you're saying
I still can't let you go
What have they done to you

Top Styx, This Old Man

This old man
He worked for thirty years with
Two strong hands
In the factory light his
Lunch box held all his needs with
Coffee sandwiches and dreams
For me
This old man
He taught me many times
To understand
That showing love is simply
Noting you should have to hide
Don't keep your feelings locked inside
He said
When I was young
I dreamed a young man's dreams
I saw in your eyes
The things I'd never seen
But now I grow old
But I don't really mind
Cause can't you see
With my family

Top Styx, Togther

Rush down, down to the first floor
There never seems to be enough time
Push hard, and push a little bit more
A cup of coffee and Iâ‚¬â„¢m gonna be fine
Fine as I can be now
Me and you, we do what we gotta do
We only want to have a good life
Itâ‚¬â„¢s tough, we donâ‚¬â„¢t see each other enough
And sometime the going gets rough
Still we keep pushing on through
We could use another summer of love
Itâ‚¬â„¢s cloudy here
But thereâ‚¬â„¢s a blue sky up above
If we could only fly away from here
We could say good-bye to all the tears
And maybe we could spend the rest of our years
Together, together
Sometimes I watch the TV news
I wanna say whatâ‚¬â„¢s the use in trying
Cause come on, what kind of difference can one man make
Yeah but how much more can I take
I think back when I was a little kid
I did what little kids did
Played war â‚¬Ëœtil I didnâ‚¬â„¢t wanna play no more
Hey and thatâ‚¬â„¢s when love stepped in
Changed everything again
Itâ‚¬â„¢s never too late for a summer of love
Yeah itâ‚¬â„¢s cloudy here
But thereâ‚¬â„¢s a blue sky up above
If we could only fly away from here
We could say good-bye to all the tears
And maybe we could spend the rest of our years
Together, we could be together
These are crazy times
Itâ‚¬â„¢s a different world
Well, thatâ‚¬â„¢s okay
Let it be that way
We could lose our minds
Or we could find our way
We can change our world
No matter what they say
If we could only fly away from here
We could turn around and say good-bye to all the tears
And maybe we could spend the rest of our years
Together
We could be together
Now, we can let the sunshine in (Together)
And we can overcome and win (Together)
Weâ‚¬â„¢ll have ourselves a summer of love again (Together)
Weâ‚¬â„¢ll be, weâ‚¬â„¢ll be together
Hey, hey
Weâ‚¬â„¢ll be together

Top Styx, There Are The Times

I hear voices from beyond the veil
They rebverberate in mystery
There are shadows in my heart, oh
And they multiply in memory
And the comrades that I've lost out there
From the scattered ruins still speak to me
If the flickering light of your campfire dims
The world grows smaller, it's closing in
I'm standing here, and I want you to live
I know these are the times we find out who we really are
This will be when a true friend stands at your side
Someone like me who wants to believe
In the days of high time and innocence
Drawing the lines and shouting back to the night
Someone like me who wants you to live
And from those who've seen the light beyond
We know the end will bring tranquility
But the voices from the friends they heard
Brought them back to this reality
Though the beacon of light in your life seems dim
The sun's coming up on the world we're in
There are choices here, and I want you to live
I know these are the times we find out who we really are
This will be when a true friend stands at your side
One more like me who wants to believe
In the truth of all we experienced
To live again, to jump back into the fight
Someone like me who wants you to live
Pouring light from the sky
Portends you and I
Disappears in the night
I still remember...
I hear voices from beyond the veil
Like a faint unfinished symphony
Though the beacon of light in your life seems dim
The sun's coming up on the world we're in
I'm standing here, and I want you to live
I know these are the times we find out who we really are
This will be when a true friend stands at your side
One more like me who wants to believe
In the truth of all we experienced
To live again, to jump back into the fight
Someone like me who wants you to live
I want you, I want you
I want you to live
I want you, I want you
I want you to live
I want you to live...
I still remember...

take my soul but don't you take my life
southern woman
make me feel good but don't you tell my wife

I touched your raven's crown
your wild eyed stories of rare delight
like to knock me down

Top Styx, Show Me The Ways

Every night I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven
But every day I'm more confused as the saints turn into sinners
All the heroes and legends I knew as a child have fallen to idols of clay
and I feel this empty place inside, so afraid that I've lost my faith
Show me the way, show me the way
take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away
please show me the way.
And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred
I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred
Then I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to
go
And I keep on hoping for a sign, so afraid that I just won't know
Show me the way Show me the way
bring me tonight to the mountain and take my confusion away
and show me the way
And if I see a light, should I believe
tell me how will I know
Show me the way, show me the way
take me tonight to the river and wash my illusions away
Show me the way, show me they way
Give me the strength and the courage to believe that I'll get there someday
And please show me the way
And every day I say a prayer in the hope that there's a heaven

Top Styx, Love Is The Ritual

Written by Glen Burtnik, Plinky
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik
Little sister
She got a lot of time she got a lot of money
Don't you know that ain't enough
Pretty thing
All dressed up for the main attraction
Like a baby doll looking for love
And she doesn't need a reason
She just hears a calling to the wild
God gave man the breath of life
To grow up strong to take a wife
To change the world and love is the ritual
You learn to walk & talk & laugh & cry
Heart & soul til the day you die
And above it all love is the ritual
Little man
Beating his chest & flexing his muscles
Gun for hire, he shoots for a star
Like a handsome prince
Walking down the streen in his shining armor
Romeo in search of his heart
There's a method to this madness
And a message calling to the wild
God gave man the breath of life
To grow up strong to take a wife
To change the world and love is the ritual
You learn to walk & talk & laugh & cry
Work your fingers to the bone til the day you die
And above it all love is the ritual
Come on dance little sister, little sister wants to dance
All night looking for true romance
When in a black leather jacket walks little brother
To rock her world, to be her lover
So signal all the children
Send a message calling to the wild

Top Styx, Rockin' The Paradise

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
So whatcha doin' tonight?
Have you heard that the world's gone crazy?
Young Americans listen when I say there's people puttin' us down
I know they're sayin' that we've gone lazy
To tell you the truth we've all seen better days
Don't need no fast buck lame duck profits for fun
Quick trick plans, take the money and run
We need long term, slow burn, getting it done
And some straight talking, hard working son of a gun.
Whatcha doin' tonight, I got faith in our generation
Let's stick together and futurize our attitudes
I ain't lookin' to fight, but I know with determination
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules
Come on take pride, be wise, spottin' the fools
No more big shots, crackpots bending the rules
A fair shot here for me and for you
Knowing that we can't lose
And we'll be rockin' in Paradise
Rockin' the Paradise tonight
Rockin' in Paradise
Rockin' the Paradise tonight
Tonight, tonight...

Top Styx, Queen of Spades

(James Young/Dennis DeYoung)
Day into night she's with me
How sweet is her warm embrace
Safe in the scent of jasmine
So safe in her gold and lace
Mornings I find, she's left me
So cold so alone, but aware
I try to escape, she finds me
Oh run though I may, she's there, there, there, there, there...
Luck is a lady whose smile is as cold as a stone
She'll bring you things, many things you might never have known
But when your die is cast she'll have the final laugh at you
She'll lock you in a duel, where you come out the fool
CHORUS
Beware of the Queen of Spades
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
Beware of a love that you will regret
Her love means only your death
Day into night she's with me
Turn of a card, she's there
The first time is free, you know
But from now on, pay me, me, me, me, me...
CHORUS

Top Styx, Put Me On

Put me on I'm your brand new record album
Side one, cut one, listen to the songs
Play me loud don't you worry 'bout your neighbors
Hope I make you feel good all day long
all day long
Put me on and play me loud
I'm the madman screaming in your living room
I'll soon be coming to your town
To sing and play a little tune
I said put me on and play me loud
Turn your stereo up all the way
ALL THE WAY
Now your body's immersed in sound
So hear the synthesizers play
And now you're in the mood
Let the melody just drift your cares away
It's got to do you good
As it mesmerizes you in its own way

I've suffered the pain
and all I can face is the dark

to leave your tears behind you
and give your heart
someplace to start
and if you find your way there
there'll be someone waiting for you

Hey give it a rest will ya? I'm tryin' to get some sleep!
Want me to call the cops?
I tell ya Erma I can't till next week when they start to tear that damn old theatre down.";
The rain was hot, the streets were empty
As downtown closed her eyes
The movie house stood in silence as I said my last good-byes
Her silver screen was stained with memories
As Cagney shot them down
And as I watched I was that hero
In dreamlands lost and found
Oh my God, well we both are empty Paradise and me
Do you believe I'm still chasing rainbows
When everywhere I see
Lonely People, Lonely People
Up above these ghetto streets
In penthouse suites they sit and stare
Lonely People, Lonely People
They smile and say they're fine
But behind their eyes they just don't care
Lonely People
They just don't care
Lonely People, Lonely People
Lonely People, Lonely People
Beneath these neon streets in subway seats they crowd for air
Lonely People, Lonely People
So close and yet so far they share the secrets of despair
Lonely People, Lonely People (repeat and fade...)

Top Styx, Krakatoa

Written by John Curulewski, Paul Beaver, B. L. Krause
Lead Vocals by John Curulewski
Krakatoa you've changed your ways
from evil days.
Oh I know a once violent isle
and gentle smile.
When the dust and lava cooled
you were sterile as the rock from which the earth was tooled.
Was man's beginning a wind borne spore
to fly no more?
Nature's winning her docile spree
has set her free.
Seeds were wafted on the wind
forming heavy undergrowth for species winged and finned.
Tangled mangles rebuilt your soil
from age dead toil.
Sheltered bay coves protecting life
from Satan's knife.
Grow and island in the sun
where the hell fire belching earth had destructively left none.

Top Styx, Killing the Thing That You Love

Brick by brick you built a mansion
Piece by piece it seems
Youâ‚¬â„¢re tearing it down
Once you walked so tall and handsome
Now nobody even wants you around
Now youâ‚¬â„¢re just some kind of
Leftover clown
Now youâ‚¬â„¢re like Quasi Modo crying
As you look in the mirror
At what youâ‚¬â„¢ve become
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
Reaching for Venus De Milo
But sheâ‚¬â„¢s never gonna hold you tight
You plant plutonium silos
Then you blister from the sun thatâ‚¬â„¢s too bright
Like a vampire stepping into the light
Just a victim of your own greed as you
Look in the mirror
At what youâ‚¬â„¢ve become
Killing the world that you love
Like Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
The genius of a generation
Blown away just like a leaf on the wind
And now youâ‚¬â„¢re looking for salvation
But you canâ‚¬â„¢t forget the places youâ‚¬â„¢ve been
And you canâ‚¬â„¢t erase a lifetime of sin
And you canâ‚¬â„¢t escape the answers as you
Look in the mirror
At what youâ‚¬â„¢ve become
Dredging the river for what you have done
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin

It was 8:15

I bought a 12 ounce coffee
And I threw down a 357
I guess I was thinking I would never be found
Next thing I knew I was spread-eagle
Down on the ground
I just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you
I got pretty paper shoes
And I'm weaving you a basket for Christmas
Three hots and a cot
And a cellmate who keeps calling me missus
But I like to think I'm the king of the couch
And I like my shrink
'Cause he always brings me smoke in a pouch
I just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you
We don't have any inhibitions
We're not consumed by ambition
We've got no mission control
They say Dr. Freud might call me an anal retentive
But my PO says I'm delinquent and I got no incentive
Rehab is a thing of the past
I step into the cab and say "Hey buddy, step on the gas"
Just fell into a manic depression
And I really want to spend it with you
Okay ladies, it's time for your medication

Top Styx, Homewrecker

Written by James Young, Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by James Young
She's got heavy equipment
She'll turn your head in an instant
She like to rock and roll all night long
She's a one woman wrecking crew
Playing the part of an ingenue
In your personal tragedy
Veiled in a false innocence, so clever
The poison catalyst of your self destruction
She's a homewrecker
Like a real steam roller
She's gonna drive you into the ground
She's a heartbreaker
A real mischief maker
You know she'll walk away & never look backJust a near fatal attraction
Maybe a psychotic reaction
You just can't stop yourself, right or wrong
Your tangled web of sin
Put you in the state you're in
Trapped by her passionate design
Sentenced to loneliness, forever
Destined for emptiness & down on your knees
Just a near fatal attraction
Maybe a psychotic reaction
You just can't stop yourself, right or wrong
Your mind's in disarray, left all alone to play
In the wreckage of your shattered dreams
But can you escape, no never
And there won't be any happy endings

Top Styx, Heavy Water

Written by James Young
Lead Vocals by James Young
Sittin' here on terra firma
It's the kind of place we were meant to be
Out here kinda lost in space now
Pondering life's mysteries
All of minkind worship at the altar
Of old mythology
But the genie's out of the bottle
Collision course with eternity
Young children playing in the chat room
With the freaks and the satellites
Upload the nearset planet
Burnin' out at the speed of light
Better living for the masses
With the new technology
But some fool went and pushed the button
He didn't get an apology
Feeling good is a new sensation
Panacea for the Prozac nation
Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Sacred cow sizzling in the fire
As we all go up in flames
With millions of true believers
And their unfamiliar names
On the road to good intentions
Blown to hell by our own inventions
Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like lambs to the...
Custom made for the self reliant
Lemonade for the thirsty giant
Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Unholy, holy water
Leading us like lambs to the (slaughter)

Top Styx, Haven't We Been Here Before

Written by Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw
Haven't we been here before
Footsteps lead down to the note on the door
That says I can't stay here anymore
And haven't we felt this same way
Sure in our hearts, but afraid just the same
To say I can't stay one minute more
You might think that it's hopeless
Beyond our control
But that's not necessarily so
Can't you see there's a chance
For the daring young soul
Who's finally learned to say no
No, I won't be misused
Ignored or refused
And I won't just give up and let goSo tonight hold me close to you
And don't give up what's important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing can stand in our way
And I believe if we learn from the past
We'd find keys to unlock every door
Dark would turn into light
We'd be strong
We'd be right
So tonight hold me close to you
And don't give up what's important to you
And as time rolls on
Nothing will stand in our way
And I believe if we learn from the past
We'd say haven't we been here before
Oh, and I believe if we open our hearts
We'd find keys to unlock every door
Hearts could change overnight
We'd be strong...We'd be right
So stay with me now
The future is ours
And we'll be the ones who go on

Top Styx, Great Expectations

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
Everybody will be watching
Just to see what can you do
They'll be waiting, anticipating
For the genius to come through
So raise the bar up
A little higher
They expect so much of you
Feel the madness accelerating
Cause you feel the same way too
Great, Great, Great Expectations
Everybody's masturbating
Wondering what you're gonna do
And all the doctors are contemplating
Can the smart ass still pull through
Mister big shot
With all the answers
One more time through the hoop for you
Light a fire
To the whole thing
Feel the flame as you go through
Great, Great, Great Expectations
Did you think that your ambition
Would ever end up in remission
Did ya
Now did ya
Did you think your sacrifices
Would turn your dreams into your vices
Now did ya
How could ya
All the cynics & the ciphers
Make you question what you do
So turn your amp up a little louder
To drown out that void in you
While the mantra keeps repeating
There are dreams you must pursue
If you just try a little harder
There ain't nothing you can't do
Great, Great, Great Expectations

Top Styx, Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)

Written by Tommy Shaw
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw
You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell
You've got it all in the palm of your hand
But your hand's wet with sweat and your head needs a rest
And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
How can you be such an angry young man
When your future looks quite bright to me
How can there be such a sinister plan
That could hide such a lamb, such a caring young man
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it
You're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
You're killing yourself if you don't believe it
Get up, get back on your feet
You're the one they can't beat and you know it
Come on, let's see what you've got
Just take your best shot and don't blow it

Top Styx, Goodbye to Roseland

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
There was a time
When we were children
Blue skies would shine
And all was forgiven
And there were heroes to guide us
And we had family beside us
And there were dreams to believe in
Each and every day
And I was your friend
Father and brother
And you were my wife
Mistress and mother
And through the good times and bad times
We shared the love of a lifetime
Oh what a shame and a damn crime
For it all to end
So goodbye to Roseland
How I wish I could stay
To live in the memory
Of your sweet sweet day
But every road that we travel, has an end
And so the time now has come to say
Farewell old friend
Well goodbye to Roseland
How I want you to know
Just how much I miss you
So I got to let go
But all the love that you gave me will remain
And every tear that I've cried has not been shed in vain

You see the world through your cynical eyes
You're a troubled young man I can tell

Top Styx, Fanfare For The Common Man

Written by Aaron Copland
Lead vocals by James Young
another new day takes up on you
a fanfare wakes the land
the naked lives just a shining down
at the dawn of the common man
outside in the madding crowd
he laughs along the way
traffic city, what a pity
it doesn't have a word to say
troubled people, billions of people
they can't seem to understand
the ringing ears are unable to hear
the sounds of the natural plan
yeah yeah yeah

I'm just a man
please let me
sing my song
it's been ten years
since I met you
and I first held your hand
my Suzanne
that summer night
we dreamed of
days to come
I held you there
beside me
we carved the wishing treeand then
we played the part of lovers
on that summer night
we played the part of lovers
you gave all your love and you made it seem right
you made me a man oh so young in my life
one simple verse
like the words in a play
you spoke your lines
and I knew I must stay
oh I must stay
now we are free
and we are growing old
the wishing tree still stands there
and shades our memories
of when
we played the part of lovers
on that summer night
we played the part of lovers
you gave all your love and you made it seem right
you made me a man oh so young in my life

Top Styx, Double Life

Written by James Young
Lead Vocals by James Young
In the dark so all alone
Slowly reach for the telephone
A message waits just for you
A secret place, another rendezvous
It's not always honesty
That is the best policy
But little lies can give you away
Though you'll deny it if they say maybe you're just
Leading a double life
Friends in the daytime, strangers at night
Leading a double life
Can it be wrong when you know that it's right?The other side of the Berlin Wall is
Not far enough to avoid the call
Somebody knows, somebody's seen
Somebody knows right where you've been
And that you're just
Leading a double life
Friends in the daytime, strangers at night
Leading a double life
Can it be wrong when you know that it's right?
Nowhere to hide, though we both might try
I'm schizophrenic, and so am I
Double life, a double life, a masquerade
You know we all live a masquerade
I know you're out there!
Leading a double life
Friends in the daytime, strangers at night
Leading a double life
Can it be wrong when you know that it's right?

Dear John I knew you
About as well as anyone
We were the wild ones
So sure those days would never end
Now they're only memories my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
I swear I saw you
On a crowded street today
I almost called your name
Thinking of all those yesterdays
Heaven help me
How I miss my friend
Dear John I'll see you
Some day again
There'll be a celebration
When all will be revealed
We'll have a reunion
High on a hill
Dear John how are you
God know it's heaven where you are
Find some peace there
May it never end
Dear John my heart knows
We'll meet again
Dear John I'll see you....
Some day again

Top Styx, Christopher, Mr. Christopher

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung
I remember Christopher
such a man
so brave and tall
he took the baby Jesus
in his arms
across the waterfall
people cried, ";he's holy!
he's a saint not a man!";
all at once it was written
in the book of the land
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won't they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won't they leave you alone?
there was Mary Margaret
a Christian lady
dressed in blackshe believed St. Christopher
helped her find
a way back
she told him all her secrets
and the dreams of her years
so when they took that saint away
all that's left were her tears
Mary cried ";they're crazy!
the world is changing too fast!";
it was then she discovered
that her faith couldn't last
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won't they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won't they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won't they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won't they leave you alone?

Top Styx, Best Of Times

Tonight's the night we'll make history. Honey you and I.
And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time,
And stay with you here toinght (with you tonight, with you tonight)
I know you feel these are the worst of times. I do believe it's true.
When people lock their doors, and hide inside.
Rumour has it it's the end of Paradise.
But I know, if the world if the world just passed us by, baby I know
I wouldn't have to cry
Chorus:
The best of times, are when I'm alone with you.
Some rain some shine, we'll make this a world for two.
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime
We'll take the best forget the rest and some day we'll find
These are the best of times
These are the best of times
The headlines read "These Are The Worst Of Times", I do believe it's true.
I feel so helpless like a boat against the tide.
I wish the summer winds could bring back paradise.
But I know, if the world turned upside down, baby I know
You'd always be around
(Repeat Chorus)
(When I'm alone with you, you brighten up the night!)
(When I'm alone with you ...)

Top Styx, Brave New World Reprise

Written by Tommy Shaw, James Young
Lead Vocals by Tommy Shaw
No fear
No pain
Never any need to worry again
More new cures
No more war
We're better off now than we were before
And the sun will always shine
You never shed a tear again
In the brave new world
You never shed a tear again
In the brave new world
Here in the brave new world's embrace
I watch the parade begin
How will I know if there's a place
For me in the brave new world
Heavy, heavy water
Won't wash away the sins of the father
Who's that walking out the door
Who can't take it any more
Who's walking that path will fall
Forever
(Heavy)
You tell me who's number one
(Heavy water)
Who's not here who's having fun
(Won't wash away the sins of the father)
Who's that knocking on the door
Who's not taking any more
Who's been down that road before
Without you

Top Styx, Born For Adventure

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
I am the thief of the highway
Rich man you better take hold
'Cause last night while you lie sleeping
I came to steal all your gold
All the King's horses
All the King's men
Surrounded the chapel
To trap me within
A Lady in waiting
Lips red with rouge
She offered me pleasures
I could not refuse
No, no, no
For I was born
Born for adventure
Women whisky and sin
No I'll never surrender
Live by the sword till the end
All the King's horses
All the King's men
Were drinking and dancing
At Fezewig's Inn
They spoke of my capture
And of my escape
They called it misfortune
But I called it fate
No, no, no
For I was born
Born for adventure
Women whisky and sin
No I'll never surrender
Live by the sword till the end

Top Styx, Blue Collar Man

Give me a job give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God I'm hardly alive
My mother 'n father, my wife and my friends
You've seen them laugh in my face
But I've got the power and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye on the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not
I'll take those long night, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all night to be just who I am
Well I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
(repeat chorus)

Top Styx, All In A Day's Work

Written by Dennis DeYoung, Glen Burtnik
Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik
She wakes up from a dream, checks the mirror for reality
She says ";Come on girl, it's all in a day's work";
Gets herself dressed just in time, disappears on the 8:05
Oh the whistle blows and it's all in a day's work
'Til she calls it a day
Oh she smiles as he glances up from the swimsuit issue
Oh she sighs as he walks away into the downtown day
Day after day night after night
Loneliness creeps in her window
She locks the door, turns off the light
Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries
It's all in a day's work
Turning pages while the memories pass
Familiar faces from her senior class
How the years go by when it's all in a day's work
";Dearest Ruby, hope you reach your star
Don't ever change, stay as sweet as you are";
And when a teardrop falls she calls it a day's work
She calls it a day
Oh she waits by the telephone for the call he promised
Oh it's late
She puts her heart away for another day
Day after day night after night
Loneliness creeps in her window
She locks the door, turns off the light
Rehearsing a kiss on her pillow, she cries
All in a day's work

Top Styx, Ballerina

Written by Dennis DeYoung
Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung
It seems you finally had to choose
I guess there was no other way
Between my love and satin shoes
I knew the words you'd have to say
It all began so long ago
That the memory's hardly clear
But when I seen you dance I know
Half your love I'll always share
Ballerina when you dance there's music
Colored lights illuminate your movement
Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile
Ballerina from the first I knew that
You would always have to dance I knew that
There would surely come a day when you would go
Baby I know...
Dance for me, I beg of you, dance for me
Dance for me, ballerina, dance for me
Ballerina when you dance there's music
Colored lights illuminate your movement
Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile

most disturbing
quite unnerving

terminally
we'll fly to a spot
where I know there is not
any sorrow
no tomorrow
people just laugh
cause they know how it feels
to have loved
and be loved

ain't no need to hurry
all you really need
is lovebah bah bah bah bah

tell me more of this place
so inviting
and exciting

carefully to direction

skewed to matter and space
