Re: Occupy My Heart
occupy my heart
noah mclaughlin
there ain't no permits needed
no one's wearin' riot gear
i've got no sign to wave
i just want you here
so i'll take your red tent cities
i'll take your 99
i'll take your white-hot anger
just want your hand in mine
and it's funny cuz you're next to me
but we're a long time apart
come on over, the space is free
why don't you occupy my heart
the world is going down (down in flames!)
and i spend my nights alone (drinkin' whiskey!)
there may be a body there
but you are long, long gone
come back for the revolution
come back and sing along
come back for the retribution
just come back - i was wrong
and it's funny cuz you're next to me
but we're a long time apart
come on over, the space is free
why don't you occupy my heart
i've been drinkin' these long nights
drinkin' whiskey all alone
drinkin' down to the bottom of my soul
i don't know what's got you so riled
but i know it was wrong of me to say
"wait a while"
and it's funny cuz you're next to me
but we're a long time apart
come on over, the space is free
why don't you occupy my heart

Re: Occupy My Heart
I'd have written a shorter song if I'd had more time.
"Occupy My Heart"
by Jon Eric
It's all the rage among the rudderless
And the motherless
And the jobless
You should have seen them at the City Hall
And the Capitol
Making progress
We are one nation, indivisible
But we're miserable
How it pains me
When you complain of disaffected youth
You miss a bigger truth
We see plainly
[chorus:]
Occupy my heart (Occupy my heart)
Occupy my heart (Occupy my)
Occupy my heart or we'll occupy you
It doesn't matter what the media
Or Wikipedia
Say about you
You know you're winning when you're called deranged
Let's go effect some change
We're about to
Pitch a tent to keep a body warm
You're gonna brave the storm
You're gonna be fine
Try not to flinch against the riot squad
But if you have a god
Maybe pray to help them cross that line
(chorus)
Once I thought I had a country
Never knew I was alone
I was aware of the existence of oppression
But I never thought I'd see it at home
I used to think that my government could help us
But it doesn't seem to want to and now all our futures have flown
Away
If corporations can get big enough
And we don't call their bluff
Without revolting
They'll only print themselves another mint
And bribe the government
To keep the whole thing
So if they buy the very city streets
If they own the police
Just keep stoking
The flames of outrage burning dawn to dark
From Zucotti Park
Out to Oakland
(chorus x2)

Re: Occupy My Heart
Occupy My Heart
You said you were leaving me here alone
You had to get away
Wasn't what I said or what I did
You need a break today
You didn't say how long that you'd be gone
Where you were going to
And now you won't answer the telephone
I've something to say to you
I love you but don't say it enough
Sometimes you just want too much
Can't bear the thought of you not here
to occupy my heart
You said you were leaving me here alone
You had to get away

Re: Occupy My Heart
Occupy My Heart - Paco del Stinko
Occupy my heart like the Nazis held Poland
I dealt the cards but Baby you hold them
I got four chambers that you can abuse
So be my Sherlock and sniff out my clues
You fill me up - With your love
Thought I was tough - Can't get enough
Confiscate my soul like a CSI unit
I'll be a tree and Baby I'll let you prune it
My spirit's yours so never let go
Open its doors and kick out the cold
You fill me up - With your love
Thought I was tough - Can't get enough
Oo-oo Baby - you set me free
It's true, Lady - When you occupy me
Overthrow my mind like you're storming a castle
I'll be the gator that you gotta wrastle
My brain's for you so fill up my thoughts
Come fill my shoes with your feet and your socks
You fill me up - With your love
Thought I was tough - Can't get enough
You can take me
Any way you want me
Oh, Baby
Stormy

Re: Occupy My Heart
I am the kind of man who worries
More than a man really needs to do
Lord, I have this need to be in charge
Of things I really ought to leave to You.
This is the cross I've built myself
It's tearing me apart.
All these things that occupy my mind
Can never occupy my heart.
I am the kind of man who marches
Believes he has to have his say.
Maybe someday I'll get somewhere
But my first step should be to pray.
This is the grave I've dug myself
For when it all falls apart
All these things that occupy my mind
Only You can occupy my heart.
Sometimes faith is simple
Sometimes faith is blind
Sometimes faith needs to learn to let go
And leave it all behind.
I am the kind of man who questions
Despite the answers proving true
I'm not content with satisfaction
Confined to a narrow view.
This is the death I choose to live
Although it rips my soul apart
All these things that occupy my mind
Can never occupy my heart.
This is the death I choose to live

Re: Occupy My Heart
Occupy My Heart by Metaluna
Calculated indifference
What can I inference?
Your phone call leaves me wondering
Second guessing my resolve
‘Cause I know
I am aware
Of how it is
And how it must be
You say these things
And play the games
Just for spite
So tell me how to feel
Tell me what is real
Tell me can I withstand martyr’s zeal?
All the apologies
Cadenced your own way
The best-laid plans
Of mice and men
Will forever come to naught
Spinning in vain, you’ll play
The trump of shame
An endless game
While you may own my head
You’ll never occupy my heart
These are the lies
The lies we tell ourselves
Is my karma still intact?
Have I been sent back
To relive all the yesterdays
And power plays
You blame
So tell me how to feel
Tell me what is real
Tell me can I withstand martyr’s zeal
Holding to the line
Memories of time
When will this Judas kiss heal?
All the apologies
Cadenced your own way
The best-laid plans
Of mice and men
Will forever come to naught
Spinning in vain
And I’m slipping away
All the apologies
Cadenced your own way
The means and ends
Won’t make amends
All these days we’ve been apart
Spinning in vain, you’ll play
The trump of shame
An endless game
While you may own my head
You’ll never occupy my heart
Calculated indifference

Re: Occupy My Heart
DJ RANGER DEN
I can fill things up again when they spill
'cuz that's just what I do
I know exactly just what time it is, too
I can read the writing on the wall
as I walk through the door
and just as one exit is closing
I look out and see more
And you look safe and warm from a distance
but if you keep me at an arm's length
then you won't occupy my heart
I have learned a very scary lesson
and you have learned it too:
No one ever really lets themselves
do what they really wanna do.
Just because we wanna move the people
well, the people may not care
they think love is stupid
when reality is everywhere
and I can't do anything of value
... but i love you
and you won't occupy my heart.
I don't know which way the wind is gonna blow
and you don't see the forest for the trees...
but platitudes get repeated just because they're true
and if I say "i love you" often enough, maybe you'll believe it too
... and I can occupy you.

Re: Occupy My Heart
SPORTSWRITERS
Well I opened my eyes, realized I was dreaming
I stared at myself through a hole in the ceiling
I was thinking of you
Trying to make it come true
Well I cleaned up the house cause the house needed cleaning
I wrote you a song but the song had no meaning
Was a song about you
Oh, I thought that you knew
This house is so empty since you've been away
But I got a feeling you'll be home today
And all I can see as the hours decay
Is the face of the girl who occupies my heart.
I took out the trash cause the trash needed taking
I baked you a cake cause a cake needed baking
And I thought about you
And the things that you do
I threw out the keepsakes that didn't need keeping
I swept out the path cause the path needed sweeping
Oh, I swept it for you
For you to walk though
This house is so empty since you've been away
But I got a feeling you'll be home today
And all I can see as the hours decay
Is the face of the girl who occupies my heart.
This house is so empty since you've been away
But I got a feeling you'll be here today
And maybe this time I'll persuade you to stay
And live with me here in this home that I made
Cause all I can see as the hours decay
Is the face of the girl who occupies my heart.

Re: Occupy My Heart
BILLY and the PSYCHOTICS
You won't remember
or maybe it just doesn't matter
Joke around - does that make it all go down
a little better?
I'm wrong, i realize
I'm the one who's scared of shadows
I ask if we're alive, 'cuz we've been through the wars now
I think I've figured out the turnaround
Occupy my heart
you'll leave without a trace
And I will fall
I'll ask for help but I'll be there alone
And I will know
that I should have known a little better
Occupy my heart
you'll leave without a trace
…inside
And i know … why
the sky is falling
Destiny is calling you
Occupy my heart
you'll leave without a trace
