The Bill is a police procedural television series that ran from October 1984 to August 2010. It focused on the lives and work of one shift of police officers, rather than on any particular aspect of police work. At the time of the series' conclusion in August 2010, The Bill was the longest-running police procedural television series in the UK and was among the longest-running of any British television series.
The series was produced by Thames Television, its name originating from "Old Bill", a slang term for the police and Geoff McQueen's original title for the series. It originated as a one-off drama, entitled Woodentop in August 1983. ITV commissioned a series, which started in October 1984.
The series attracted controversy on several occasions. A 2008 episode featured a fictional treatment for multiple sclerosis, and another in May 2008 resulted in litigation by MP George Galloway for defamation. The series has also faced more general criticism concerning the levels of violence it portrays, particularly prior to 2009, when it occupied a pre watershed slot.

He was one of the major characters on the children's television series The Electric Company for its first two seasons, and created the educational cartoon comedy series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, about a group of young friends growing up in the city. Cosby has also acted in a number of films.
During the 1980s, Cosby produced and starred in what is considered to be one of the decade's defining sitcoms, The Cosby Show, which aired eight seasons from 1984 to 1992. The sitcom highlighted the experiences and growth of an affluent African-American family. He also produced the spin-off sitcom A Different World, which became second to The Cosby Show in ratings.

Roseann "Rosie" O'Donnell (born March 21, 1962) is an American comedienne, actress, author and television personality. She has also been a magazine editor and continues to be a celebrity blogger, LGBT rights activist, television producer and collaborative partner in the LGBT family vacation company R Family Vacations.
Raised Roman Catholic, O'Donnell lost her mother to cancer as a pre-teen and has stressed the importance of protecting children and supporting families throughout her career. O'Donnell started her comedy career while still a teenager and her big break was on the talent show Star Search in 1984. A TV sitcom and a series of movies introduced her to a larger national audience and in 1996 she started hosting The Rosie O'Donnell Show which won multiple Emmy awards.
During her years on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, she wrote her first book, a memoir called Find Me and developed the nickname "Queen Of Nice" as well as a reputation for philanthropic efforts. She used the book's $3 million advance to establish her own For All Kids foundation and promoted other charity projects encouraging other celebrities on her show to also take part. O'Donnell came out stating "I'm a dyke!" two months before finishing her talk show run, saying that her primary reason was to bring attention to gay adoption issues. O'Donnell is a foster—and adoptive—mother. She has since continued to support many LGBT causes and issues.

I'm a little nutty and I know it
But if you go back and take a look at my history
You will see that I'm not the only one who's off his rocker
There were many before me
I was always labelled the black sheep of the family
What a bad seed I grow to be
But if you take a look at us now
You'll see the apple didn't fall too far from the tree
(Haha)
Alright, look
I'ma tell you the story from my side
Maybe you'll understand
Check it out
You done witnessed unexplainable shit
Too insane to explain
People run from what the just don't get
Maybe shady shoulda just hit 'em with a little bit
Did I spit too soon? should I of spoon fed 'em it?
But I was just so eager to prove I was even worth
Being in the same league or the room with
Of the people of whom I was in
Every now and then I look up like I was seeking approval
Was it because of the pigment of my skin
Or was it a figment of my imagination
Maybe it bothered me more than it did them
Maybe it wasn't a big deal back then
But to me it was, see what it was was
I had developed the complex from being judged
Proof spit his verse, now I'm next, let's see who
I'm in the booth staring back to see who's mugs
I get a reaction from, usually the first thumb was from proof
And the rest of the group backed him up
And no one lied to each other cause none of us had deals
It was real, we just wanted tickets for that meal
Sometimes I feel like it's just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
But take a look at my family
Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree
I said...
Sometimes I feel like it's just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
But take a look at my family
Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree
Ever since my mother was pregnant
With her second egg cause she said
That I had a baby sister who fell out of the window
I was too young to remember
Kansas city projects
I was like 5, 6, and how come
I remember malcolm, isaac, and boogie
If it was the projects in missouri?
Cause those're my best friends until isaac
Took my tricycle and my uncle todd went to try to go get it back
And ended up getting jumped and cut in the gut with a switch and 70-some stitches
Which is still, to this day
Why my mother still tries to show me some old fake picture
Of a fictitious little sister who never existed
And this is why part of my life's so twisted
But I can never be as sick as that bitch is
And, by the way, that picture's one of my relatives
Sometimes I feel like it's just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
But take a look at my family
Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree
I said...
Sometimes I feel like it's just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
But take a look at my family
Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree
You probably have to peel back layers upon layers of pain
To see why everything I say is so insane
What's different about my brain
That separates me from other players in this game?
On the surface, it may seem like a scheme
Or some sort of scam for me to get some damn sympathy
But that's the last thing I need is for people
To walk around feeling sorry for me (me)
And I'm not a g, never claimed to be
I gave my vest to cashis, just hope he
Don't need it more than me
But we'll see, cause we ain't lookin' for beef
But if it comes our way, what do we, turn the other cheek?
Come on
Sometimes I feel like it's just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
But take a look at my family
Cause the apple don't fall too far from the tree
I said...
Sometimes I feel like it's just me
Sometimes I feel like I'm going crazy
But take a look at my family
Do the Wobble baby.
Do the Wobble.
Do the Wobble.
Do the Wobble baby.
Do the Wobble baby.
Do the Wobble baby.
Come on baby,
do the Wobble.
Come on baby,
do the Wobble.
Do the Wobble.
Do the Wobble baby.
Wobble baby.
Come on baby.
Come on baby.
Do the Wobble baby, baby, baby.
Do the Wobble.
Do the Wobble baby.
[Instrumental]
You wined me and denied me when I was you girl
Told me if I'd be your wife you'd show me the world
But all I've seen of this old world is a bed and a doctor bill
I'm tearin' down your brooder house because now I've got the pill
All these years I've stayed at home while you had all your fun
And every years that's gone by another baby's come
There's gonna be some changes made right here on nursery hill
You've set this chicken your last time cause now I've got the pill
This old maternity dress I've got is going in the garbage
The clothes I'm wearing from now on won't take up so much yardage
Miniskirts hot pants and a few little fancy frills
Yeah I'm making up for all those years since I've got the pill
I'm tired of all your crowing how you and your hens play
While holding a couple in my arms another's on the way
This chicken's done for up her nest and ready to make a deal
And you can't afford to turn it down cause you know I've got the pill
This incubator is overused because you've kept it filled
The feeling good time's easy now since I've got the pill
It's gettin' dark it's roostin' time and that's too good to be real
Oh daddy don't you worry now cause momma's got the pill
Oh daddy don't you worry now cause momma's got the pill
One with her hands
Open
"Don't Be afraid" she said
"No one will know it -
Just you and me"
And when it's over
I'll go back
Summertime came too soon, summers in Kansas often do
And the air was still, I felt the pull
I recall the heat rising from the ground in a way
And I knew I was the first to pass this way
I believe I stepped across some line
Or I stumble through the doorway to space and time
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine
Never remembers his name
I always feel so alone wherever I am I feel the pull
And the life I've left behind the pull
And in case I have no future I've got the past
There's no telling just how long this play will last
I believe I step across some line
Or I stumble through the doorway to space and time
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine
Never remembers his name, never remembers
I'm down, walking through a storm
I hear a voice inside crying it calls my name
Like a judge accusing, black robe hanging down
Oh, don't forget, be brave about your love
When I walk across the monkey moon
Anger flashes in my eyes, I don't know what I'm doing
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine
Never remembers his name
Like a drunk who blacks out from the wine
Never remembers his name
Never remembers his name
A smile for every passing car
And when they stop with door ajar
She shrugs and whispers que sera
And turns her thoughts to the pillow
Her face is etched with memories
She finds now joy amid the sleaze
It's hard when you've been paid to please
So she turns her thoughts to the pillow
[Chorus:]
Daylight comes she rests her head
The beauty of an empty bed
She dreams of happy days instead
Of brooding on tomorrow
She swapped her dreams of shining knights
For pushers, bars and money fights
For nameless faces in red light
So she turns her head to the pillow
Those black eyes don't hurt any more
She's heard the jokes and jibes before
She's felt the long arm of the law
So she turns her head to the pillow
[Chorus]
Taking drugs was not for fun
It made her feel like going on
But now she hurts when its all gone
And she turns her head to the pillow
She take a blade and breaks her skin
Sweet life force flows from within
The white clouds in her head grow dim
And she turns her head to the pillow
[Chorus]
Sunlight creeps across her head
Pale beauty in a crimson bed
No dreams of happy days ahead
Lord, I stand in Your presence
Wanting You and needing You
And I am here and I surrender
All of me so I can see
Your will is where I desire to be
Take all of me
All that I have and all that I do
I give it to You, Lord, it's for You
Just take my hand
And I'll follow You
For all that I am
And all that I do, it's for You
You are my song
It's Your love that keeps me strong
And You are the light
In the darkness of my night
I'm lost without You
Broken without You
Oh, how I need You
Oh, how I need You
You make life worth living
Your grace always keep giving
I'm lost without You
Broken without You
Oh, how I need You
Oh, how I need You
Lord, have mercy, Lord have mercy
Ooh, have mercy
We need Your healing
Please give us healing
Lord, have mercy
Have mercy
Lord, have mercy
Have mercy
Oh Lord, Lord, I come
Broken in this place
Weak and poor
For all I have is Yours, all Yours
This life, these things
They can't compare to You
No wealth, no fame can separate
The one my heart adores
Yet, we take our eyes off You
We're blind in reaching for the truth
And now this whole world cries
Because it realizes
There is none quite like You
The earth, the stars, the universe
They just repeat these words so true
Life begins and life will end with You
Hear me singing
When I die, what will they say about me?
Will the work that I've done
Be enough to help someone?
When I die, will I draw men's hearts to You?
At the setting of the sun
Wanna hear You say
Well done, when I die
Well done, well done
Heyyy, Ho (This is the way we ball)

Hey look at you now
Don't cry, pick yourself off the ground
You say you're through with love and..
It tore you down
And you tried to stay and take it somehow
Your whole life's ahead now
Don't let it get to you
There's no real reason to
Carry the weight of the world
Hey, it's not what we say
It's how we act here today
It's all in the play on the stage
Hey look at you now, you smile but I see you hurt
You can't hide that from me
You tell me you know
But that's not the way things have to go
When love breaks you down
Don't let it get to you
There's no real reason to
Carry the weight of the world
Hey, no it's not what we say
Its how we act here today
It's all in the play on the stage
Life can be so cruel
Love makes us play the fool
But there'll always be better days
Don't let it get to you
There's no real reason to
Carry the weight of the world
Hey, no it's not what we say
It's how we act here today
Cause we're all in the play on the stage
If you know what's good for you, stay out of his way
If you have no insurance, get out of his sight
He's a bully from Soweto
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his face
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his nose
He kills for fun, he's one of those people
We were warned about so many years ago
His day's gonna come, every dog has his day
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
If you're on the right side of the law
Don't be where he is
He is wanted dead or alive
He kills for fun, stay out of his way
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his face
I can tell he's looking for a fight, look at his nose
He's a bully from Soweto, in his world dog eat dog
That is how we know his day is gonna come
Every dog has his day
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
Sinners shall never go to Heaven
How you been feeling
It's not about marbles snakes or glue
How you been healing
Now that we cannot win or lose
So how you been keeping
It doesn't matter whose dads richest now
How you been sleeping
From the top bunks further to fall down
You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me
What you been doing
Still make the world a better place
Never stopped rueing
Making those tears fall down your face
Making you suffer
Wondering how you got your scars
And only in hindsight
I wish I had taken you in my arms
Taken you in my arms
Taken you in my arms
Taken you in my arms
Taken you in my arms
You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me
You turned that around on me (forgiving the bully)
You turned that around on me
Thougts 'bout broken dreams
Questions in your mind
Lonelyness in the dark
No answers to find
A shadow on your face
A movement far away
A noise beneath your feet
Pray while you may
The moon doesn't talk tonight
The moon doesn't breathe tonight
The moon doesn't cry tonight
The moon is dead tonight
Illusion, lonelyness, confusion emptyness
Your life is just a dream, the dream is just a scream
Love is hate and hate is love
In the deep of the blue
The tragic mystic of the moon
Is calling for you
Voices, whispers, lonely shadows
Are waiting for you
But there's no way to run
From the deep of the blue
Blood runs through your thougts
You wish to be lost
You wish to be wise
Whatever it costs
A strange voice is calling
Reaches your ear
And in the depth of your eyes
A lonely bloodred tear
The moon doesn't shine tonight
The moon doesn't sing tonight
The moon doesn't cry tonight
The moon is dead tonight
Submission, damnation, hatred, violation
Strange words and dreams, wishful thinking and screams
Shameless sea
Aimlessly so blue
Midnight-moon shines for you
Still, marooned
Silence drifting through
Nowhere to choose
Just blue...
Ceaselessly
Star-crossed you and me
Save our souls
We'll be forever blue
Waves roll
Lift us in blue
Drift us
Seep right through
And colour us blue
Wait for me
Shameless you, the sea
Soon, the Blue
Wish I could tell you
The way that I feel
I know that I failed you
So I make my appeal
I just want to give you
A little piece of mind
The two roads that got us here
And what did we find
We've both been blind
Chasing our demons and
Feeding the fire inside
I will wait patiently
And expect no reply
I've got my answer already
I see it in your eye
So I'll just give you my love
If you return in kind
I just hope that's enough for you and that we
Have a little more time
Are we still blind
Chasing our demons and
Feeding that fire inside
I wish I could tell you
The way that I feel
I know that I failed you
So I make my appeal
I wish I could tell you
What's on my mind
But my heart won't let me be so cold
So honest and unkind
Are we still blind
Are we still blind
Chasing our demons and
Feeding the fire inside
So this is
The way that I feel
And I forgive you
So blame me
But you didn't see me do it
Poor baby, please
Trouble has always grown on trees
So blame me
But you didn't see me do it
Poor baby, please
Trouble has always grown on trees
And I don't care what you say to me
I don't even like blue eyes
They're usually too light
I don't even like things that are so bright
I can't stand the glare
So take this if you dare
Then you can belong to me
And you can be wrong for me
So blame me
But you didn't see me do it
Poor baby, please
Trouble has always grown on trees
I don't care what you say
You're just being fake
I'm telling the truth
Like I do always
You'd do it too, if you were brave
The sweetest things are often laced
And you can be wrong for me
Mirror, mirror on the wall
If I can't have one, I'll take them all
I'll take Gael Garcia Bernal
I'll take a man that I can haunt
And who can be wrong for me
my body stopped moving, it quickly got cold.
i made my escape thru exhaling lungs and watched my body run away.
nobody noticed my misty escape.
and i ended up floating like water in the air.
to the glowy ocean side, above the pounding of waves.
thats where you showed up on the foggiest day.
from high above you, i saw your earth framed body wrapped in wool.
the glow surrounds you.
She called herself Betty, She were black jeans and a
feather in her hair like an Indian
I took the pill and slipped it underneath my tounge
You took yours and passed me the bottle
The hotel bedspread was a mess of colours, Looked like
somebody had thrown-up
Outside, day was coming in
Betty had long hair on her forearms
and a tattoo of the Norbal logo on the back of her
right shoulder
My jaw ached from grinding my teeth
You and betty just laughed and laughed
I looked at you and you looked at her
I felt sick to my stomach
You nudged me in the ribs, caught me eye and gave me a
wink
The colours on the bed spread began to move
Together we begin to swim inside out
How I wish that I could feel that sound always
You know, around all time baby, so lonely, ah
That we'd get so far out, far away, always, always
There was a knock at the door
I was so messed up
It was so late
I was convinced that we shouldn't move
But the music was so loud
How I wish that I could feel that sound always
You know, around all time baby, so lonely, yeah
oh my, got to get so far out, far away, always, always,
always
It was then I realised that I couldn't go back
The telephone rang, it was the front desk
You've just got to tap your heels together and say that
"There's no place like home, There's no place like
home"
I don't have that kind of power
Never did see Betty again
There's no place like home
Across your face, I see what you are
You wanna kill the sun, blot out the stars
I know you you're nothing,
you're so small
You're fuckin' nothing,
nothing at all
The sun burns on, it reminds me of you
The slit wrists of the sky bleeding into the blue
We twist beneath forever, but do you know what you've done?
Ants in the after birth,slugs under the sun
I could not wake the dead man dreaming
Acid party murder at the late show
Mutate me and breed yourselves a savior
I could not kill the dead man screaming
Eat my dead cock, oh yeah!
Eat my dead cock, oh yeah!
I have fallen deep in love with the sky
Fragments of a sunbeam glaring on a kitchen knife
The leaves will fall as everything must follow
Kill your idol come on jump into the void
Eat my cold shit
Everybody whispers were birds fall dead
I smell the yellow sickness churning inside your head
Wiping flecks of foam twisting with rabies
Bloody we run thru these fields of dead daisies
How can I ever make you know what you've done
Ants in the afterbirth, slugs under the sun
I have fallen deep in love with sky
If I hadn't dropped the ball, I would've took it all the way
Homecoming '89 with ten seconds left to play
We were drivin' toward the goal line, they were screamin' in the stands
I had the chance to be a hero but it slipped right through my hands
There would've been a big pep rally
They would've hung my jersey on the wall
If I hadn't dropped the ball
Me and Cindy Miller were supposed to meet after the game
I waited by the bleachers, but she never came
I found a note on my windshield, underneath the wiper blade
With goodbye bleedin' through it in the cold October rain
We probably would've gotten married
And those recruiters in from 'Bama would've called
If I hadn't dropped the ball
My life would've been so different if in that instant
Things had gone the way I planned
But the fact is that they didn't and the hand I wound up getting
Is something that I'll never understand
I ran away that summer, took a job out on the coast
And that's where I met your mama, and the rest I guess you know
If I had the chance to go back and score that last touchdown
Well, son, I wouldn't do it, 'cause you wouldn't be here now
And I wouldn't be your hero
I wouldn't be around to catch you when you fall
If I hadn't dropped the ball
My life would've been so different if in that instant
Things had gone the way I planned
But the fact is that they didn't and the hand I wound up getting
Is the one that God intended me to have
No, I wouldn't be the man I am at all
Here they come, we panic, scream and run (Oooh)
And please beware, they'll kill without a care (oooh)
Clasp your hands and make some weather
Cause after all we live together
Soak up the ball, though which we're tethered
Close up this space, close up the nether
We stand worlds apart
It grows, this dark, the demons, and the sharks (oooh)
But once too tall, they'll crumble, it will fall (oooh)
Clasp your hands and make some weather
Cause after all we live together
Soak up the ball, though which we're tethered
Close up this space, close up the nether
We stand worlds apart
We stand worlds apart
I had a friend who told me that
The world was going to end
He went to school to learn the law
So he could help defend
"These wolves", he said, "are gathering,
They're meeting on a farm,
incomprehensiblee flights of the fruit(twisted around) looping, lifting
new dimensions, we construct
a new model, but we never reach the way
we're stuck in this world they built
there's a way out (some way)
just say goodbye to the world that we've known
beyond your shoulders, above the flags
across the mountains, a new clock is here
beyond the railings, below the towns
above thehighwayss, beyond the clouds
above the houses, beyond control
Are you aware of the pill?
Its basic design is to kill
The fertile womb
becomes a tomb
for a new child unborn still
I say, are you aware of the brute
whose job is to wither the fruit?
They'll cause us to fall
our history and all
by cuttin' us off at the root
They say We'll stunt Africa's growth
And Asia has too many folks
Too large is the mouth
in the Latin South
We'll aid 'em by cuttin' their throats
No, we must approach as a friend
and do our job from within
We'll feed 'em the pill
that's made up to kill
and make their beginning their end
So poor folks of the world be aware
For their evil design is laid bare
Watch out for the hag
with the little black bag
marked Birth Control Peace Corps and Care
It's part of a game that they play
And it's designed to make poor people pay
it's part of a lie
to help you to die
white they cart your resources away
I say conspiracy is in the air
to control the children you bear
Control of the land
is a part of the plan
as your kind grows increasingly rare
It's a truth to be understood
though at first it may appear good
But it's a menace to health
and to lineal wealth
since you can't reproduce when you should
And in this respect I am told
it is better to use self-control
For the future and truth
belongs to the youth
since you cannot prevent growing old
So make sure that your reasoning is sound
before taking that love potion down
For it would be a shame
to come into fame
We swing together like the bell, with a similar story to tell
Both holding on until the end at least we're not alone
Swinging together like the bell, together we fell
Holding over water and the well
Hang on, hang on, hang on, you've got to hang on to yourself
Swinging forever like the bell, with a similar story to tell
Both holding on until the end at least we're not alone
Swinging together like the bell, together we fell
Holding over water and the well
Hang on, hang on, hang on, you've got to hang on to yourself
Hang on, hang on, hang on, you've got to hang on to yourself
Hang on, hang on, hang on, you've got to hang on to yourself
Don`t ever leave
Baby, baby, baby, baby, stick with me
Life would be fine
Baby, baby, baby, if you were mine
Please hear my plea,
Come back to me,
I love you so.
Dear lord, please hear my plea
And do something, something for me
I love him so, want him to know
That I don`t ever want him to go.
Oh don`t ever leave
Baby, baby, baby, baby, stick with me
It would be fine
Baby, baby, baby, if you were mine.
Dear lord, please hear my plea
Help do something, something for me
I love him so, want him to know
That I won`t, ever, want him to go
Oh don`t ever leave
Baby, baby, baby, baby, stick with me
It would be fine
Baby, baby, baby, if you-ou-ou-ou were mine
Ooo-ooo-oo...
The future holds no interest for me
The cards are stacked against us
Do we really have to be content with explanations
that kill us when we've got everything to win
Together we can get this world trashed
A call for redemption
My life have to take a serious turn from this boredom
It's like a bloody goldfish's bowl, vision's wide but I'm alone
Floating around, the water `round my body makes no sound
Nothing I found as I searched these inner depths for joy
And now I see the world distain
Feel myself floating away
Rumbling, tumbling, mumbling, jumbling
Wanna see new faces
Wanna see new places
Wanna go through phazes
Want to live before I die
Now I've freed myself from the glass that held me captive
In a circle eyes are seen, I'm the centre in between
Lurking around, the air around my screams with sounds
But nothing I find as I search these outer depths for joy
The world's continuing its distaining
Mesmorize, taking the rope
Rolling, galling, falling, calling
Wanna see new faces
Wanna see new places
Wanna go through phazes
Want to live before I die
Looking back into my bowl
Thinking back, Taking a leap
Lying, crying, "bye"-ing, diving
Already seen the faces
Been to every place
Going back through phazes
Cannot live so why not die
Already seen the faces
Been to every place
Going back through phazes

Lyrics: Båth
"To those it may concern", a full page of words. I'm leaving you
Though the fire inside s till burns, this shell I've become is consuming me
As painful as it can be, I'm open for you to see my enemy
As though I've never been close to anyone I still feel it, I miss it
And I can see no sense at all
I've tried so hard to break my fall
And all around me people say
"He's turned his life into a play"
Quietly I'm there, one step closer to despair, they do not see
this struggle within me, I thought stronger I would be, God, I was wrong
And I can see no sense at all
I've tried so hard to break my fall
I never meant to fly this way
Music: Holmberg Båth
Lyrics: Båth
Is this coming to an end?
I've seen the writings for years now
I've always tried to send this message
to all, but it seems like I've failed
Broken, torn and misled
By the thoughts in my head
Seems like all that I see
Takes a hold of me
I can't fight this desert in my heart
Left behind by the ones that I love
I would fly to the end
if they could only see
Just look at me
Thee are voices in my head
I do not know if they're real or not
I remember what they said
"Take all your fears
and turn them into hate"
They are trying to pull me down
tearing and ripping, confusing me
If only someone could help
I've prayed for so long
still they don't see, don't hear me
Facing ground just once more
Wondering what it's all for
Nothing I could foresee
It takes a hold of me
I can't fight this desert in my heart
Left behind by the ones that I love
I will fly to the end
if you'd only believe me
Well look and see
"These words now left with you,
were too hard for me to say alive
I never meant to go this way, but in the
end I was facing too much for me to bear.
Forgive me just this once, 'cause life has
done me wrong. I feel, I've been set aside
So quietly I walk..."
And darkness turns into light
and warmth now fills my soul
I have found a stillness in my heart
Left the past behind
with the ones that I love
I can fly to the end, can you finally see
Cause I got the Pill
You told me to meet you here
But I couldn´t get in
i was told you were dancing
and your hands were everywhere
Did you know her
Is she a friend
I know you know the door man
Did you tell him not to let me in
I see how thing go now
You just use me for my thrills
Go ahead and keep on dancing
