Lyrics to Songs

"No Matter Who"

Well it's a long, long road when you're out there alone,

no matter what side you're on,

but there's a heart of gold behind the smile

and it brought me to where I belong.


'Cos I set my sights on finding you

and I'm staying forever, you know it's true

Yes I'd set all my sights on finding you -

don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright.


No matter what you say,

no matter who you are,

love always finds a way,

finds a way to your heart.


Well it's a cold lonely road, but you can survive

no matter which way you choose,

and as long as there's life behind these eyes

I'm here with you, win or lose.


If you let your light shine on through

someone will come round to pull you through,

yes just let your light shine on through,

don't be lonely tonight, you can make it alright.


Just hold my hand,

come with me a while, I'll make you smile.

Just hold my hand -

there's someone who loves you, it's me, oh it's me.


No matter what you say,

no matter who you are,

love always finds a way,

finds a way to your heart.


It's alright that you cry if you're lonely sometime,

no matter who's by your side,

'cos the love that you look for is inside us all,

but it's something you have to find.


And I'd set my sights on finding you

and I'm staying forever, you know it's true.

Yes I'd set my sights on finding you -

don't be lonely tonight, we can make it alright.


No matter what you say,

no matter who you are,

love always finds a way,

finds a way to your heart.

Lyrics copyrighted by Phil Collins, 1996.

"Virtuality"

Like a shipwrecked mariner adrift on an unknown sea

Clinging to the wreckage of the lost ship Fantasy

I'm a castaway, stranded in a desolate land

I can see the footprints in the virtual sand


Net boy, net girl

Send your impulse 'round the world

Let your fingers walk and talk

And set you free


Net boy, net girl

Send your impulse 'round the world

Put your message in a modem

And throw it in the Cyber Sea


Astronauts in the weightlessness of pixellated space

Exchange graffiti with a disembodied race

I can save the universe in a grain of sand

I can hold the future in my virtual hand


Let's dance tonight

To a virtual song

Press this key

And you can play along


Let's fly tonight

On our virtual wings

Press this key

To see amazing things


Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passing trains

Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain

I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips

I can feel the voltage from her fingertips


Net boy, net girl

Send your heartbeat 'round the world

Lyrics copyrighted by Neil Peart, of Rush, 1996.

"Better When You're Not Alone"

I love you in the worst way

The only way I know

They say the clearer the water

The more that it shows

They say the deeper the river

The stronger the love

Your eyes don't lie to me

And your smile is worth its weight in gold

This life, this life aches

and this life moans

This life is great, this life is great

And it's better when you're

not alone, not alone

You love me in the worst way

The only way you know

They say the higher the mountain

The more love that grows

They say the stronger the wind blows

The farther we'll go

I hope you don't lie to me

There's nothing better than your touch

How many times does this happen

two people like us meet

As I try to be humble

and lay down at your feet

This life, this life aches

and this life moans

This life is great, this life is great

And it's better when you're

not alone, not alone

Lyrics copyrighted by The Black Crowes, 1996.

Who They Are

Want to visit some people and places I find important? Leave for a short while, but don't forget to come back.

The Path is Clear

…though no eyes can see, the course laid down long before." After a long search, I've concluded that this is the best page dedicated to the rock band Genesis. It covers their entire history… from their beginnings in the late 60s, to Peter Gabriel's departure in 1975, to Phil Collins stepping up from drummer to take over lead vocals for the band in '76, to Phil's departure in 1996, and even news about the band's future plans and rumors of the new lead singer.

The University of California, Berkeley

This is where I go to school these days. Journey there through a dazzling display of campus maps, library information, schedule of classes, and all sorts of other tidbits about the university that you might find interesting.

Clarion95

Alex Wong, former Bellarmine College Preparatory student, maintains a page all about the Class of '95. It's the biggest meeting place Bell grads will find in cyber-space. Even people who didn't attend Bellarmine might like to see what it's like. Besides, he's using some very high-tech looking graphics.

Casa de Fruta Fruits, Nuts, Chocolates & Gift Crates

How many fruit stands have their own web page? You don't have to travel thirteen miles east of highway 101 on interstate 156 anymore to visit this charming little place. No, with a click of a button you'll almost be smelling the delicious aroma of fresh fruits and vegetables. And please, don't forget about their huge selection of nuts and gift crates.

The Modesto Bee Online

This is a truly spectacular site, in case you find yourself interesting in the daily news of the central valley. Find out about the searing temperatures in Turlock, or get information about the festival in Stockton, or just plain ol' satisfy your curiosity about the greatest little town in the world, Riverbank.

Bellarmine Homepage

Another great site to learn more about Bellarmine College Preparatory, the high school that does away with the "high" and the "school."

Humble Home.

Mike Migurski, the creator of this page, is a friend from high school who is also here at the University of California, Berkeley. Visiting Mike's page is like going to a very fine museum… the artwork is unbelievable, and there aren't little children running around asking "What the hell is that?" The stuff that he does is incredible.

Random Light Bulb Joke

There is nothing finer. The "information super-highway blah blah blah" was designed for this type of purpose. Forget about interacting with people from around the world. Forget about the amazing ability to send pictures and sounds and information virtually anywhere. Go here and read a new light bulb joke every ten seconds.

The Amazing Fish Cam!

OK, perhaps there is something finer. This page is almost as good as the real thing. It's sure a hell of a lot easier to take care of, no doubt about that.

Downtown San Jose

Perhaps some people are a little partial when it comes to their home towns. Not here, no way. The fact that San Jose is now the tenth biggest city in the nation and also the capitol of Silicon Valley means absolutely nothing. No, of course not.
