"Be Strong Now"/James IhaOkay... this one's really cool. Even though I wasn't going to have this portion be about Oasis or the Smashing Pumpkins, I sort-of had to bend that rule on this one. It's by James Iha, who, of course, is in the Smashing Pumpkins. I like it a lot...

"Be Strong Now"
James Iha

little darling bell
with such a fragile shell
in the powerful way
that love seems to make her
all regret it now
and if she's only say what's wrong
she can't go on
you've got to be strong now
and if i come and hold you now
you'll be safe and sound

little lonely face that no-one ever see
you see the things she believes
is life is bittersweet and if she'd open up to me
and it's the only thing she dreams
you've gotta believe

you've got to be strong now
and if i come and hold you now
you've got to be strong now
if i hold you now
if i hold you now
if i hold you now

ooh God, if i could change a thing tonight
we won't be lonely
ooh God, if i could change a thing
why does it have to be this way
you've got to be strong now
and if i come and hold you now

you've got to be strong now
if i hold you now
if i hold you now
