would be the theme song for stray, lost and feral cats what would it be? Please post lyrics with the title of the song and the artist. Here is mine....

Erasure Send me an Angel

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Do you believe in heaven above
Do you believe in love
Don’t tell me a lie
Don’t be false or untrue
It all comes back to you

Open fire on my burning heart
I’ve never been lucky in love
My defences are down
A kiss or a frown
I can’t survive on my own

If a girl walks in
And carves her name in my heart
I’ll turn and run away
Everyday we’ve all been led astray
It’s hard to be lucky in love

It get’s in your eyes
It’s making you cry
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Empty dreams can only disappoint
In a room behind your smile
But don’t give up, don’t give up
You can be lucky in love

It get’s in your eyes
It’s making you cry
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to do
Looking for love
Calling heaven above

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

It get’s in your eyes
It’s making you cry
Don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to do

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Send me an angel
Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Send me an angel
Right now
Right now

Avril Lavigne "I'm With You"

I'm standing on the bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now

There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening, but there's no sound

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying figure out this life
Won't you, take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but i, I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
Cos nothing's going right and
Everythings a mess
And no-one like's to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you, take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but i, I'm with you
I'm with you

Oh, why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you, take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but i, I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but i, I'm with you

I'm with you

Take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are but i, I'm with you

I'm with you
I'm with you.

Tainted Love Lyrics........


Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

(chorus...)

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)

That's one of my favorite songs. Reading the lyrics and thinking about it in relation to homeless kitties brought tears to my eyes


I will think of them every time I listen to it now, and hope that someday, they will all have homes.

I actually saw a video of homeless cats put to that Avril Lavigne song, it was totally heart-breaking, i'm not a big cryer and it had me in tears, but I can't find it again

I like "You found me" by Kelly Clarkson..It reminds me of people Like Natalie and Katie...and anyone else that rescues the poor babies.


"You Found Me"

Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I've become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me

And I was hiding
'Til you came along
And showed me where I belong
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know?
How did you know?

You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me

(You found me)
(When no one else was lookin')
You found me
(How did you know just where I would be?)
You broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
The good and the bad
And the things in between
You found me
You found me

Wow. All I knew of Avril Lavigne was her name... but that's a heck of a good lyric. Did she write it, or just sing it?

The featured animal in that video is actually a dog, who was placed into a pet home thankfully, but there are also cats in the video as well. I think this may be what you are thinking of:

That is so sad and a very fitting song. Love her second album.
After watching that I noticed the horse videos so had to watch one. Booing like a baby now so I will think of a good song and lyrics to add tomorrow. Off to give the kitties extra love....

Yes, just so... sad stories like that just make you want to snuggle up all your kitties and never let go.

Over the river and through the woods...
Oh, now I'm just bawling. I found a rescue site that used that song along with a slide show of strays, both cats and dogs waiting to be adopted. That one made me cry too.

I think that is the perfect song.

SO I wanted this to be a serious thread, it kind of got hijacked and became an Avril Levine thread. I agree her song is perfect but I know there are thousands more out there that would still be fitting. We are all smart, use your brains and come up with some songs. And to answer the legality questo=ion, as long as we are not using the lyrics for finacial gain we are free to repost them.

So to coninue, my DH really wanted to find a song he felt fit. His favorite band is Jane's Addiction so he sarted with their songs, this is what he found.

Jane's Addiction - I Would For You

I'm everybody's slave
I made you my slave
You said
This I do for you
If it would help
To give the world back
What it gave
Then I would
I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you

You say my eyes
Are crazy eyes
Sometimes they are
And so are you
And if you wonder
What I would do
I would do
Anything
If I could
You know I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
