Thomas Howard Lichtenstein

Ok ... famous composer. provides many many songs to games like drummania and DDR. I sorta like his songs... just got that... groove / feel to it... Here's some of his songs...

Break Out

Break the boundaries, my philosophy

There I was talking to some friends just the other day
They said I better give it up and find some other way
But what about the beauty in the experience
My duty is taking it giving it taking it giving it
Up all the way to its fruition no mind pollution
Or confusion, disillusion, who controls the distribution?
Is it a thing of the past? Think of the future
Is it a blast? Shouldnt you wonder? Thats the truth
Not a blunder, hear the thunder?

Break the boundaries, my philosophy
Break the boundaries, my philosophy
Break the boundaries, my philosophy
Break the boundaries, my philosophy

Break

You can spend your whole life being like the good guys
Doing like you should guys (and you know just what I mean)
You pushin and you shovin and you never get no lovin
Dont stop movin what you need is a little liberation
From those upright uptight fools in their schools
You got to break out shake out
Take the woman and you make out
Dont stop living know you gotta

Break the boundaries, my philosophy

Lyrics
I can feel your pain but now you're doing it again
You gotta stop or you'll never get away
Lookin' in the mirror every day it's getting clearer
You age five years on every birthday
I can only tell you, I can't stop you from the hell
You seem to live just to die and try again
Rollin' down the tracks someday you're never comin' back
But you're a fool 'cause you're on the wrong train

You gotta stop this train
Before it takes you too far
You gotta stop this train
Don't let it make you forget who you are

Now you're so confused and your ability to choose
Is almost gone 'cause it au gone too far
I can only tell you babe, you're looking like a shell
How will you ever remember who you are?

Lyrics
You and me we've come a long way you know, baby
But we've still got a long way to go, maybe
Even if we don't have too much to show for it

No matter what happens I'll always be here for you
In the hard times I know love will see us through
'Cause you know I will do whatever I have to do, girl

Depend on me
I'll always be around
Depend on me
'Cause I won't let you down
Everything in every way
You know that every time and every day
I do it all for you
You can depend on me

When you find things ain't getting no easier
All your problems seem impossible to cure
Turn to me 'cause I'm ready to reassure you

I would run through the cold driving rain all night
Climb a mountain or roll up my sleeves and fight
Always be here to make sure that you're all right, girl

Depend on me
I'll always be around
Depend on me
'Cause I won't let you down
Everything in every way
You know that every time and every day
I do it all for you
You can depend on me
Every hour and every minute
In all I do my heart is in it
Give my life for you
You can depend on me

Depend on me
I'll always be around
Depend on me
'Cause I won't let you down
Everything in every way
You know that every time and every day
I do it all for you
You can depend on me
You know that every hour and every minute
In all I do my heart is in it
Give my life for you
You can depend on me




P.P.R. (Long Version)

Lyrics
All my friends play D.D.R.
But I sing about my P.P.R.

Na Na Na...

Got to tell my friends
I'm getting out of this town
Got to pack my bags
And bring my wagon around

Moving out
To the mountains, skies, and trees
Moving out
Where nobody wants to beat anyone
And nobody's bugging me (P.P.R.!)

Na Na Na...

See the open sky
With no electrical wire
Makes you want to cry
With freedom, hope, and desire

Moving out
To the mountains, skies, and trees
Moving out
Where nobody wants to beat anyone
And nobody's bugging me (P.P.R.!)

I wanna be where the creatures are free
Pastel Paradise Rapture in fantasy
Grab what you can
And we'll head for the wild country

Na Na Na...

Moving out
To the mountains, skies, and trees
Moving out
Where nobody wants to beat anyone
And nobody's bugging me (P.P.R.!)

I wanna be where the creatures are free
Pastel Paradise Rapture in fantasy
Grab what you can
And we'll head for the wild country

Na Na Na...



Libra
From: Guitar Freaks 10th Mix & drummania 9th Mix Soundtracks (KOLA-051)
Music by: Kozo Nakamura

Lyrics by: Thomas Howard Lichtenstein
Performed by: Thomas Howard Lichtenstein

Lyrics
I'm walking without a care
Not a clue to where I'm going
Could this be an oasis?
Maybe I should stop and have a look

I notice somebody there
Underneath a tree she's waiting
With the sun in her hair
She looks like an angel
Flew down from heaven
She's a lady Libra!

All I can do
Is hope that she
Will share it all with me

Once in a lifetime
You find someone (someone you could fall in love)
Libra...shining in the sun (by a waterfall she's waiting)
She's my reason to run (every breath anticipating)

Running for the first time
Running for the first time
In my life
Through the mist I see her
Gotta catch that girl
Before she is gone



Out of Breath

Lyrics by: Thomas Howard Lichtenstein
Performed by: Thomas Howard Lichtenstein

Lyrics
Scratchin' on another door
Waiting for a chance to score some more
"Whatcha' doin'?"
I can see my life before me
I know that I can't afford procrastination
I don't wanna be on an empty road
Full of these empty promises
I've got something more to give this universe
Now! I've got so much more
And my word is my ammunition
I've got something more to give this universe
Start listening to it

I'm out of breath
Fighting back tears
Been waiting for years
For a moment like this
I'm out of breath
And I can't find the words
It's a chance in a lifetime
I don't want to miss
Gonna give it my all
'Till I stand or fall
Gonna test every limit
Break every wall
'Cause I want you to know
That I'll never let go
'Till I get my moment of glory
And I can almost taste it






And of course.. my current fav song just right below dragon blade... love the variations for this song and dragon blade.




Stop Spinning Me in Circles (New Version)
From: Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix & drummania 2nd Mix Soundtracks (KMCA-78~9)
Music by: Toshio Sakurai
Arranged by: Toshio Sakurai
Lyrics by: Thomas Howard Lichtenstein
Performed by: Thomas Howard Lichtenstein

Lyrics
The strangest girl I've ever known
How did you get this heart of stone?
There's only so much I can tolerate, now every time I get the phone
I hear that other voice... another piece in the puzzle

You've got to tell me what you want
Just say the word and I'll be gone
You keep expecting me to read your mind, but I don't know what's going on
And even if I did I wouldn't give you the pleasure

Stop spinning me in circles
You're playing roulette with my heart
(I'm spinning 'round)
Stop spinning me in circles
Don't break my heart
You know I could never live without you

You tell me I'm the only one
Next thing I know you've up and gone
I should expect it after all this time
But I don't want to jump the gun
You're way of love's a crime and it will come back to haunt you

You never think of tomorrow, tomorrow
You never save a penny up for a rainy day
You spend your time just causing me sorrow
You're so full of bad karma
It's like a wall building up around you

Stop spinning me in circles
You're playing roulette with my heart
Stop spinning me in circles
Don't break my heart
You know I could never live without you

Stop spinning me in circles
You're playing roulette with my heart
(I'm spinning 'round)
Stop spinning me in circles
Don't break my heart
You know I just want to be with you
