Favourite Song Lyrics
What are some of your favourite song lyrics, either of the moment, or of all time?
I just put some in my signature, from Distant Sun by Crowded House, one of my all-time favourite bands. I'll think of some others later, but in the meantime, post away!:snap: |
I want to F*** you like an animal... - NIN

Paint it Black- Rolling stones
see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and they’re all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby it just happens ev’ry day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door and it has been painted black Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the settin’ sun My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes Hmm, hmm, hmm,... I wanna see it painted, painted black Black as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah! |
Posies - Everyone moves away
Please forgive, for they know not what they've done And if they did, they'd surely resurrect their trust Promises were made to break and the family kept its end And now your answer, my friend, Is blowing in one head and out the other But you will find yourself You will recognize and realize Even when you can't forget The times they tried you, things denied you, inside the big nameless house From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away Growing up in severed states of mind Can cause you to to blind more than twice And now we're hurt by the words we've never said The wounds you never bled Just aggravate your head until they've gone But you will like yourself You will verify and vocalize Even when you can't forget That when you stayed you, they betrayed you, inside the big nameless house From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away Try to wipe away the traces of people, places, childhood spaces Etched upon your memory, like the way that we were raised In our backyard we were left no time to think The blood that turned to ink spelled neglect Now there's no sun and the grass is overgrown The sacred seed they've sown is utterly alone and scared to death But you will free yourself You will cut the cord and cauterize And if you ever feel an urge To look behind you, let this remind you We both grew up in the same house From which everyone moves away, everyone moves away Everyone moves, everyone moves Everyone moves away |
Queensryche -- from the Operation: Mindcrime album
"I don't believe in love I never have, I never will I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel" I forgot how much I loved that album |
Killer Queen- Queen
She keeps Moet et Chandon In her pretty cabinet 'Let them eat cake' she says Just like Marie Antoinette A built-in remedy For Kruschev and Kennedy At anytime an invitation You can't decline Caviar and cigarettes Well versed in etiquette Extraordinarily nice Chorus She's a Killer Queen Gunpowder, gelatine Dynamite with a laser beam Guaranteed to blow your mind Anytime Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? To avoid complications She never kept the same address In conversation She spoke just like a baroness Met a man from China Went down to Geisha Minah Then again incidentally If you're that way inclined Perfume came naturally from Paris For cars she couldn't care less Fastidious and precise Chorus Drop of a hat she's as willing as Playful as a ***** cat Then momentarily out of action Temporarily out of gas To absolutely drive you wild, wild She's all out to get you Chorus Recommended at the price Insatiable an appetite Wanna try? You wanna try |
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see, I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low, Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me. Mama just killed a man, Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead. Mama, life had just begun, But now I've gone and thrown it all away. Mama, ooh, Didn't mean to make you cry, If I'm not back again this time tomorrow, carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters. Too late, my time has come, Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time. Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go, Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth. Mama, ooh, I don't want to die, I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all. I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango. Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning me. (Galileo.) Galileo. (Galileo.) Galileo, Galileo figaro Magnifico. I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me. He's just a poor boy from a poor family, Spare him his life from this monstrosity. Easy come, easy go, will you let me go. Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. (Oh mama mia, mama mia.) Mama mia, let me go. Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me. So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye. So you think you can love me and leave me to die. Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here. Nothing really matters, Anyone can see, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters to me. Any way the wind blows. - Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody |
I've paid my dues
Time after time I've done my sentence But committed no crime And bad mistakes I've made a few I've had my share of sand Kicked in my face But I've come through And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting Till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the World I've taken my bows And my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune And everything that goes with it I thank you all But it's been no bed of roses No pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before The whole human race And I ain't gonna lose And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting Till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions of the World We are the champions - my friends And we'll keep on fighting Till the end We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers 'Cause we are the champions - Queen - We are the Champions |

Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd
Hello. Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home? Come on, now. I hear you’re feeling down. Well I can ease your pain, Get you on your feet again. Relax. I need some information first. Just the basic facts: Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’. When I was a child I had a fever. My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I got that feeling once again. I can’t explain, you would not understand. This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. Ok. Just a little pinprick. [ping] There’ll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working. good. That’ll keep you going for the show. Come on it’s time to go. There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse, Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now. The child is grown, the dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb. |
When I have nothing left to feel
When I have nothing left to say I'll just let this slip away I feel these engines power down I feel this heart begin to bleed as I turn this burning page Please forgive me if I bleed Please forgive me if I breathe I have words I need to say Oh so very much to say And whose life do I lead? And whose blood do I bleed? Whose air do I breathe? With whose skin now do I feel? I'm supposed to walk away from here I'm supposed to walk away from here And whose life do I lead? Whose blood do I bleed? Whose air do I now breathe? I'm convinced there's nothing more. The day you died I lost my way The day you died I lost my mind What am I supposed to do? Is there something more? The engines power down Like a soldier to his end I go Because I'm convinced That there is nothing more And whose life do I lead? And whose air do I breathe? With whose skin and whose blood do I feel? What happens now? Have I done something wrong? Forgive my need to bleed right now Please forgive my need to breathe But I've so much to say And it wouldn't matter anyway. You're not here to hear these words that I must say And I'm convinced inside That there is nothing more Whose life do I lead? Whose air do I breathe? Whose blood do I now bleed? With whose skin now do I feel? I have nothing left to say I have nothing left to feel Am I supposed to let this go now? Let darkness come take you away? - VNV Nation - Forsaken |

Jeremy- Pearl Jam
At home Drawing pictures Of mountain tops With him on top Lemon yellow sun Arms raised in a V Dead lay in pools of maroon below Daddy didn't give attention To the fact that mommy didn't care King Jeremy the wicked Ruled his world Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Clearly I remember Pickin' on the boy Seemed a harmless little **** But we unleashed a lion Gnashed his teeth And bit the recessed lady's breast How could i forget He hit me with a surprise left My jaw left hurtin Dropped wide open Just like the day Like the day i heard Daddy didn't give affection And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear King jeremy the wicked Ruled his world Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today Try to forget this... Try to erase this... From the blackboard. |
For UVA Girl- this is also one of my all-time favorite songs....
Don't Dream (It's Over)- Crowded House There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don't ever let them win |
It's been a while
Since I could... Hold my head up high It's been a while Since I first saw you It's been a while Since I could standon my own two feet again And it's been a while Since I could call you And everything I can remember As ****ed up as it all may seem Consequences that I've rendered Have stretched myself beyond my means It's been a while Since I could saythat I wasn't addicted It's been a while Since I could say I loved myself as well and... It's been a while Since I've gone and ****ed things up Just like I always do It's been a while But all that **** seems to disappear when I'm with you And everything I can remember As ****ed up as it all may seem Consequences that I've rendered Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away Just one more peaceful day But then I go an **** things up again It's been a while Since I could... Look at myself straight It's been a while Since I said I'm sorry It's been a while Since I've seen the way the candles light your face It's been a while But I can still remember just the way you taste Everything I can remember As ****ed up as it all may seemTo be... I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father He did the best he could for me It's been a while Since I could... Hold my head up high It's been a while Since I said I'm sorry |
One of my favorites to sing in the car when I'm by myself
Since U Been Gone Here's the thing we started off friends It was cool but it was all pretend Yeah yeah Since you've been gone You dedicated you took the time Wasn't long till I called you mine Yeah Yeah Since you've been gone And all you'd ever hear me say Is how I pictured me with you That's all you'd ever hear me say But since you've been gone I can breathe for the first time Im so movin on Yeah yeah Thanks to you Now I get What I want Since you've been gone How can I put it? you put me on I even fell for that stupid love song Yeah yeah Since you've been gone How come I never hear you say I just wanna be with you I guess you never felt that way But since you've been gone I can breathe for the first time Im so movin on Yeah yeah Thanks to you Now I get I get what I want Since you've been gone You had your chance you blew it Out of sight, out of mind Shut your mouth I just can't take it Again and again and again and again Since you've been gone I can breathe for the first time Im so movin on Yeah yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get I get what I want I can breathe for the first time Im so movin on Yeah yeah Thanks to you (thanks to you) Now I get (I get) You should know (you should know) That I get I get what I want Since you've been gone Since you've been gone Since you've been gone |
Another 'favoritest song' IRIS by the GooAnd I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything seems like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know your alive And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am |
Home Sweet Home - Motley Crue - (Oh...you knew I was gonna go with the Crue!)
You know I'm a dreamer But my heart's of gold I had to run away high So I wouldn't come home low Just when things went right It doesn't mean they were Always wrong Just take this song and you'll never feel Left all alone Take me to your heart Feel me in your bones Just one more night And I'm comin' off this Long and winding road I'm on my way Well, I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight, tonight I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home You that I've seen To many romantic dreams Up in lights, fallin' off The silver screen My heart's like an open book For the whole world to read Sometimes nothing Keeps me together At the seams I'm on my way Well, I'm on my way Home sweet home Tonight, tonight I'm on my way Just set me free Home sweet home On With The Show - Motley Crue Frankie died just the other night Some say it was suicide But we know How the story goes With his six string knife And his street wise pride The boy was a man before his time And she knew All their dreams would come true But ya see, frankie was fast Too fast to know He wouldn't go slow Until his lethal dose And she knows He'll finally come too close Well, on with the show Going on with the show Come on baby No, no, no Oh my, my, my...... He was bad He was never good But one thing that he understood And she knew All those lies would come true The time has come and He's paid his dues Suzy finally got the news She always knew This day would come soon He was stopped on a dime With a switchblade knife Some damn punk went and Took frankie's life And she knew She'd have to pull through Broken down, with his broken dreams With a wink of an eye Said suzy, listen to me You must go On with the show Go on with the show Come on baby No no no Oh my my my..... Oh baby |
Ballad of Jayne - LA GunsShe was always something special
A diamond shining bright in the rain Everybody dreams of angels No one will ever know how much I loved ya so Now it all seems funny Kinda like a dream Things ain't always what they seem What a shame What happened to Jayne U were always on my mind A childlike summer days in the sun Slowly wishes turn to sadness Time don't heal a broken gun I wish I'd never let u go Hear me now cause I want ya to know Now she's breakin' hearts in heaven Shining bright in the sky I still hear her voice in the wind I still thing of u in the night Well I guess she'll never know How much I need her so |
I Think It's Going to Rain Today
by Randy Newman (covered by everyone) Broken windows and empty hallways A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Lonely, lonely Tin can at my feet Think I'll kick it down the street That's the way to treat a friend Bright before me the signs implore me Help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today |
OMG I love this song. I have loved LA Guns since 88' or 89 when I saw them at the Omni in the Bay Area. They were SO AwEsOME!! I bow to you for quote the guns!! bow bow bow

Synchronicity II- The Police
Another suburban family morning Grandmother screaming at the wall We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies We can't hear anything at all Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration But we know all her suicides are fake, Daddy only stares into the distance There's only so much more that he can take Many miles away something crawls from the slime at the Bottom of a dark Scottish lake Another industrial ugly morning The factory belches filth into the sky He walks unhindered through the picket lines today, He doesn't think to wonder why The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street, But all he ever thinks to do is watch, And every single meeting with his so-called superior Is a humiliating kick in the crotch Many miles away something crawls to the surface of a dark Scottish lake Another working day has ended Only the rush hour hell to face Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes Contestants in a suicidal race Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance He knows that something somewhere has to break He sees the family home now looming in the headlights The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache Many miles away there's a shadow on the door of a cottage on the Shore of a dark Scottish lake Many miles away... Many miles away... |
Ah, how 'bout a little more Queen? This has been my cell phone ring for a while:

I saw some Queen stuff at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame- very cool. One of my all-time favorite bands. Here's a song that isn't well known, but I love it:
Sail Away Sweet Sister- Queen Hey little babe you're changing Babe are you feeling sore? It ain't no use in pretending You don't wanna play no more It's plain that you ain't no baby What would your mother say? You're all dressed up like a lady How come you behave this way? Sail away sweet sister Sail across the sea Maybe you'll find somebody To love you half as much as me My heart is always with you No matter what you do Sail away sweet sister I'll always be in love with you Forgive me for what I told you My heart makes a fool of me You know that I'll never hold you I know that you gotta be free Sail away sweet sister Sail across the sea Maybe you'll find somebody To love you half as much as me Take it the way you want it But when they let you down my friend Sail away sweet sister Back to my arms again Hot child don't you know you're young You got your whole life ahead of you? And you can throw it away too soon Way too soon Sail away sweet sister Sail across the sea Maybe you'll find somebody's Gonna love you half as much as me My heart is always with you No matter what you do Sail away sweet sister I'll always be in love with you |
This one has been on my mind today, not sure exactly why
Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World There's no one in town I know You gave us some place to go. I never said thank you for that. I thought I might get one more chance. What would you think of me now, so lucky, so strong, so proud? I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have a chance. May angels lead you in. Hear you me my friends. On sleepless roads the sleepless go. May angels lead you in. So what would you think of me now, so lucky, so strong, so proud? I never said thank you for that, now I'll never have a chance. May angels lead you in. Hear you me my friends. On sleepless roads the sleepless go. May angels lead you in. May angels lead you in. May angels lead you in. And if you were with me tonight, I'd sing to you just one more time. A song for a heart so big, god wouldn't let it live. May angels lead you in. Hear you me my friends. On sleepless roads the sleepless go. May angels lead you in. May angels lead you in. Hear you me my friends. On sleepless roads the sleepless go. May angels lead you in. May angels lead you in. |
I had a bit of dashboard karoke going on tonight in my car when this song came on, it reminded me of how, um, interesting it was to run into my ex at Disneyland on Thursday:
Standard Lines by Dashboard Confessional Which of the bold faced lies will we use? I hope that you're happy, you really deserve it, this will be the best for us both in the end. But your taste still lingers on my lips like I just placed them upon yours and I starve for you. But this new diet's liquid and dulling to the senses. And it's crude but it will do. Which of the standard lines will we use? I've been meaning to call you. I've just been so busy. We'll catch up soon. Let's make it a point to. |
Last night, I said goodbye
Now--it seems year I'm back in the city Where nothing is clear But thoughts of me --holding you Bringing us near And tell me When will our eyes meet When can I touch you When will this strong yearning end And when Will I hold you again Time in New England Took me away To long rocky beaches --and you, by the bay We started a story Whose end must now wait And, tell me When will our eyes meet When can I touch you When will this strong yearning end And when Will I hold you again I feel the change comin' --I feel the wind blow I feel brave and daring! I feel my blood flow With you I can bring out All the love, that I have --With you there's a heaven So earth ain't so bad And tell me When will our eyes meet When can I touch you When will this strong yearning end And when Will I hold you again ;) |
You hear a sound as she's leaving*
You'll hear your heart pound so hard* You'll miss her warm touch and the way* Things once were It's such a cold town when you miss her* It's not the same place no more When it's hard to mend what's broken* And you still can't let her go* Beyond the storm there's an answer Beyond the nights you spend alone* Beyond the headlights and the highways you go* You'll take a long ride without her* Until the tears dry away* In every way you try to reason* When there's no reason left to hold |
Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say Flashing lights against the sky Giving up I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor 25 or 6 to 4 Staring blindly into space Getting up to splash my face Wanting just to stay awake Wondering how much I can take Should I try to do some more 25 or 6 to 4 Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Searching for something to say Waiting for the break of day 25 or 6 to 4 25 or 6 to 4 |
Last Time I Heard Her Voice She Said:
Be Back In Town By Five Be Great To See Your Face Across A Table" Walking Out Was Not My Choice Talk About How We Survive It's So Much More Than Who's Upset About It Two So Close Two So Far Away But So It Goes And So It Goes Now She's Far From These Worries She's A Somewhere Girl A Somewhere Girl, Yeah Every Night And Day Every Moment She Slips Away I Won't Be Looking For Answers I Won't Be Waiting For A Telephone Call I Know She's Out There Somewhere Girl Now And Then I Hear A Song It Always Makes Me Smile To Think About The Girl I Still Remember From Love To Hate To Compromise Getting Over Takes A While Do You Believe We Reached The Point Of Never Two So Close Two So Far Away But So It Goes And So It Goes Cry, Tears Wash Away Your Little Empty Dreams And I've No More Regrets No Sense In Making It More Than It Seems |
"Cathedrals," Jump Little Children
In the shadows of tall buildings Of fallen angels on the ceilings Oily feathers in bronze and concrete Faded colors, pieces left incomplete The line moves slowly past the electric fence Across the borders between continents In the cathedrals of New York and Rome There is a feeling that you should just go home And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is In the shadows of tall buildings The architecture is slowly peeling Marble statues and glass dividers Someone is watching all of the outsiders The line moves slowly through the numbered gate Past the mosaic of the head of state In the cathedrals of New York and Rome There is a feeling that you should just go home And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is In the shadows of tall buildings Of open arches endlessly kneeling Sonic landscapes echoing vistas Someone is listening from a safe distance The line moves slowly into a fading light A final moment in the dead of night In the cathedrals of New York and Rome There is a feeling that you should just go home And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is ___ "Such Great Heights," by the Postal Service I think that it's a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay True it may seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like this that catch my troubled head when you're away when I am missing you to death When you're out there on the road for several weeks of shows and when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home They will see us waving from such great heights "Come down now," they'll say. But everything looks perfect from far away "Come down now." But we'll stay. I tried my best to leave this song on your machine but the persistant beat it sounded thin on listening And that frankly will not fly You will hear the shrillest highs and lowest lows with the windows down when this is guiding you home They will see us waving from such great heights "Come down now," they'll say But everything looks perfect from far away "Come down now," but we'll stay ______ "Summer, Highland Falls," by Billy Joel They say that these are not the best of times But they're the only times I've ever known And I believe there is a time for meditation In cathedrals of our own Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes I can only stand apart and sympathize For we are always what our situations hand us It's either sadness or euphoria So we argue and we compromise And realize that nothing's ever changed For all our mutual experience Our separate conclusions are the same Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity Our reason coexists with our insanity And though we choose between reality and madness It's either sadness or euphoria How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies Perhaps we don't fulfil each other's fantasies And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives With our repsective similarities It's either sadness or euphoria __ "Do You Realize," by the Flaming Lips Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face? Do you realize we're floating in space? Do you realize that happiness makes you cry? Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die? But instead of saying all of your goodbyes Let them know you realize That life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realize the sun doesn't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round. Do you realize? Do you realize? Do you realize that everyone you know someday will die? But instead of saying all of your goodbyes Let them know you realize That life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realize the sun doesn't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning 'rond Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face? Do you realize? |
And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evangelical glee Sipping down his gin and tonic While preaching about the evils of narcotics, And the evils of sex, and the wages of sin Whlie he mentally fondles his next of kin. |
FAMOUS BLUE RAINCOAT LYRICS
It’s four in the morning, the end of december I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better New york is cold, but I like where I’m living There’s music on clinton street all through the evening. I hear that you’re building your little house deep in the desert You’re living for nothing now, I hope you’re keeping some kind of record. Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear Did you ever go clear? Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder You’d been to the station to meet every train And you came home without lili marlene And you treated my woman to a flake of your life And when she came back she was nobody’s wife. Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth One more thin gypsy thief Well I see jane’s awake -- She sends her regards. And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you I’m glad you stood in my way. If you ever come by here, for jane or for me Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried. And jane came by with a lock of your hair She said that you gave it to her That night that you planned to go clear -- sincerely, l. cohen |
I am the Fish
(Carmichael-Parish) And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we’re apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely night dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song Beside a garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale A paradise where roses bloom Though I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love’s refrain (Carmichael-Parish) |
Another great Crowded House song...
She came all the way from america Had a blind date with destiny And the sound of Te Awamutu Had a truly sacred ring Now her parents are divorced And her friend’s committing suicide I could not escape A plea from the heart You know what it means to me She said don’t walk away I’m down on my knees So please don’t be mean to me And one of my favourite Split Enz songs... I don't want to say I love you That would give away too much (it's) Hip to be detached and precious The only thing you feel is vicious I don't wanna say I want you Even though I want you so much It's wrapped up in conversation It's whispered in a hush Though I'm frightened by the word Think it's time that it was heard No more empty self-possession Vision swept under the mat It's no new years resolution It's more than that Neil Finn is a genius:) |
I've really wanted to illustrate this song. I bet if I looked, someone's already done it...
I now bring you the longest set of lyrics on this page: Mr Tambourine Man, by Bob Dylan Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand, Vanished from my hand, Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin'. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun, It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facin'. And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're Seein' that he's chasing. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. ------------- |
The Piano Has Been Drinking, Tom Waits
The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep And the combo went back to new york, the jukebox has to take a leak And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break And the telephone’s out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking... And the menus are all freezing, and the light man’s blind in one eye And he can’t see out of the other And the piano-tuner’s got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking As the bouncer is a sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast And the owner is a mental midget with the i.q. of a fence post ’cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking... And you can’t find your waitress with a geiger counter And she hates you and your friends and you just can’t get served without her And the box-office is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire And the newspapers were fooling, and the ash-trays have retired ’cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me |
So long, and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this We tried to warn you all but oh dear. You may not share our intellect, which might explain your disrespect for all the natural wonders that grow around you. So long, so long, and thanks for all the fish. The worlds about to be destroyed There's no point getting all annoyed. Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you Despite those nets of tuna feets We thought that most of you were sweet especially tiny tots and your pregnant women. So long, so long, so long, so long, so long- so long, so long, so long, so long, so long- so long, so long, and thanks for all the fish If I had just one last wish I would like a tasty fish If we could just change one would thing We would all have learnt to sing Come one and all man and maanimal Side by side in life's great gene pool instrumental interlude So long, so long, so long, so long, so long- so long, so long, so long, so long, so long so long, so long, and thanks for all the fish |
She Give Too Many Kisses
She gives too many kisses to me She gives them all the day and the night She gives too many kisses it feels all right She gives too many kisses to me She gives them from my head to my toe She gives them places nobody know And when at night as I go to sleep She concentrates too much on my feet (Repeat one hundred times) |
Both Sides Now ~ Joni Mitchell
Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons ev’rywhere I’ve looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on ev’ryone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It’s cloud illusions I recall I really don’t know clouds at all Moons and junes and ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As ev’ry fairy tale comes real I’ve looked at love that way But now it’s just another show You leave ’em laughing when you go And if you care, don’t let them know Don’t give yourself away I’ve looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It’s love’s illusions I recall I really don’t know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say I love you right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I’ve looked at life that way But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed Well something’s lost, but something’s gained In living ev’ry day I’ve looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It’s life’s illusions I recall I really don’t know life at all I’ve looked at life from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It’s life’s illusions I recall I really don’t know life at all |
Only The Good Die Young ~ Billy Joel
Come out Virginia, don’t let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Aw but sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one They showed you a statue, told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away But they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done..... Only the good die young Thats what I said Only the good die young You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd We ain’t too pretty we ain’t too proud We might be laughing a bit too loud Aw but that never hurt no one Come on Virginia show me a sign Send up a signal I’ll throw you the line The stained-glass curtain you’re hiding behind Never lets in the sun Darlin’ only the good die young I tell ya Only the good die young You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation You got a brand new soul Mmmm, and a cross of gold But Virginia they didn’t give you quite enough information You didn’t count on me When you were counting on your rosary They say there’s a heaven for those who will wait Some say it’s better but I say it ain’t I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints The sinners are much more fun... You know that only the good die young I tell ya Only the good die young You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation Aww she never cared for me But did she ever say a prayer for me? Come out come out Virginia don’t let me wait, The Catholic girls start much too late Sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one, You know that only the good die young |

Let's go -- drive 'til morning comes, Watch the sun rise and fill our souls up Drink some wine til we get drunk, yeah It's crazy, I'm thinking, just knowing that the world is round, And here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right-side-up or upside-down, And is this real or am I dreaming?

Sitting by your bedside
you breathe your breath away funny how those walls we've built have all been chipped away you can find a lot to say In the last days The words seem more important than they've ever seemed before carry us to a place of trust beyond forgiveness door you can find a lot to say in the last days in the last days Who know where you and I will be tomorrow Will we dance with the saints or drink away our sorrows you can find a lot to say in the last days Words grow deeper time goes by we starve our pain and feed our pride till heaven's door swings open wide Who know where you and I will be tomorrow Will we dance with the saints or drink away our sorrows you can find a lot to say but it will be too late in the last days Last days - Cindy Morgan |
I love you
you love me We're a great big family with a great big hug and a kiss form me to you won't you say you love me too? Barney |
That is sick and wrong, wendybeth.
I suppose I could begin spouting off Wiggles lyrics now....but I find it sad that I know them all. |
For Scaeagles:
Weird Al Yankovic - Barney's On Fire Happened one day in the studio Dancing around in a do-si-do The purple monstrosity was waving his arms We were falling victim to his evil charms He brushed against a candle and he started to smoke And now we're all laughing at the dinosaur choke Oh boy, Barney's on fire! It's what we've always desired We'll watch the flames get higher Just don't try to put him out (kids sayin "kill him" in the background) Purple fur was flying ashes everywhere And all of the kids just continued to stare The guy inside the suit, he started to yell We probably should've helped him but what the hell He threw himself violently against the wall He fell to his knees and he tried to crawl away Oh Boy, Barney's on fire! This is our secret desire We'll help the flames burn brighter But don�t you try to put him out (break it down for me fellas!) Barney: I love you...you love me (Barney Screaming) Oh boy, Barney's on fire! This is what we've always desired Wont you help us fan the flames higher And you better not try to put him out Barney's no longer ignited We're feeling somewhat slighted He's laying in a heap on the floor We poked him with a stick cause we had to be sure he was dead |
I'd give you mojo, but I haven't given enough to others lately.

The Sound of Silence ~ Paul Simon
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed In the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls." And whisper'd in the sounds of silence. |
~A Question Of Lust~ Depeche Mode (one of my very favorite songs in the whole wide world!)
Fragile Like a baby in your arms Be gentle with me I’d never willingly Do you harm Apologies Are all you seem to get from me But just like a child You make me smile When you care for me And you know It’s a question of lust It’s a question of trust It’s a question of not letting What we’ve built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together Independence Is still important for us though (we realise) It’s easy to make The stupid mistake Of letting go (do you know what I mean) My weaknesses You know each and every one (it frightens me) But I need to drink More than you seem to think Before I’m anyone’s And you know It’s a question of lust It’s a question of trust It’s a question of not letting What we’ve built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together Kiss me goodbye When I’m on my own But you know that i’d Rather be home It’s a question of lust |
Happy - Oingo Boingo (from the Summer School soundtrack)
Don't got a pretty girl who loves me alot Don't got a fast car that looks real hot Don't got a fine pad or stereo And I don't do well in the school where I go, go, go, go, go But I'm happy, happy I'm happy though the world is upside down I'm happy that we all made it through another day When I pick up the phone I still remember what to say I'm happy that my brain still lives inside my head Most of all I think I'm happy Happy that I ain't dead I read the paper, I saw the news All those people out there singin' the blues They get excited, why don't they just relax All we got to do is kick back, back, back And be happy, happy Happy though the whole world is ready to blow I'm happy that I made it through another day When I pick up the phone I still remember what to say I'm happy that my brain still lives inside my head Most of all I think I'm happy Happy that I ain't dead I know a guy with plenty of loot You'd never catch him in a two dollar suit He's got gold chains, plenty of rings He told me money, it don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing If you ain't happy, happy Happy though the whole world is upside down Be happy that you made it through another day When you pick up the phone you still remember what to say Be happy that your brain still lives inside your head Most of all I think I'm happy..... I'm happy I'm happy though the whole thing is ready to blow Be happy that the sun has rised up again That somewhere in this world I still got a friend Be happy that the big one, it hasn't dropped yet Be happy that you still got something Something, something to forget I'm happy (I'm happy, so happy) |
I was swimming down the barrel of a fish, of a throat, of a circus, of a highway.
I was searching through the stream, for some dinner, for a lady, for a respite, for a way to get to you. You were flailing, you were dangling, you were waiting, you were hanging, and then I came. Now we’re walking and we’re running and we’re singing and we’re sunning, all in the name of some forgotten blame. Doesn’t matter if it’s your fault, doesn’t matter if it’s mine. Now all that really matters is we’re running out of time. I was flying out the window from the fire and the walls came down on me and I was far away. I was fleeing from desire and the passion and the hire til I was cornered and the ****er captured me. I was in interrogation, in the fortress, in the station, and the pigs were asking why. No I didn’t have an answer cause they didn’t have a question, so I had no choice but to lie. Doesn’t matter if it’s your fault, doesn’t matter if it’s mine. Now all that really matters is we’re running out of time. And the sun and the trees and stars and the seas, came all at once to grab me Yeah, the sun and the trees and moon and the weeds, said it would be all right. So I unleashed my love, took it out and I sprayed it, all over the station. Oh Yeah. Yeah I unleashed my love, and I brandished it all around. So they couldn’t take my love, No they couldn’t take my love and I watched them expire one by one by one. And I sat with my people in my heavenly steeple under my lover, our God-given sun, The light that shines for everyone, Doesn’t matter if it’s your fault, doesn’t matter if it’s mine. Now all that really matters is we’re running out of time. Doesn’t matter if it’s your fault, doesn’t matter if it’s mine. Now all that really matters is we’re running out of time. jeffersonjay - Forgotten Blame |

Just The Way You Are
The Stranger Released: 1977 Billy Joel Don't go changing, to try and please me You never let me down before Don't imagine you're too familiar And I don't see you anymore I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble We never could have come this far I took the good times, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair You always have my unspoken passion Although I might not seem to care I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are. I need to know that you will always be The same old someone that I knew What will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you. I said I love you and that's forever And this I promise from the heart I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are. |
Big Bottom ~ Spinal Tap
The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin' That's what I said The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand Or so I have read My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo Big bottom, big bottom Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em Big bottom drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? I met her on Monday, twas my lucky bun day You know what I mean I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day You know what I mean My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah Big bottom, big bottom Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em Big bottom drive me out of my mind How could I leave this behind? |

Edelweiss
Unknown (The Sound Of Music Soundtrack) Edelweiss, Edelweiss, Every morning you greet me, Small and white, Clean and Bright, You look happy to meet me. Blossoms of snow may you bloom and grow, Bloom and grow forever, Edelweiss, Edelweiss, Bless my homeland forever. This was Kat and Bailey's good night song for such a long time when they were little...it still reminds me of them being little...precious, innocent to the world. |
I used to sing this one to Tori:
Desmond has a barrow in the market place Molly is the singer in a band Desmond says to molly-girl I like your face And molly says this as she takes him by the hand. Obladi oblada life goes on bra Lala how the life goes on Obladi oblada life goes on bra Lala how the life goes on. Desmond takes a trolly to the jewellers store Buys a twenty carat golden ring Takes it back to molly waiting at the door And as he gives it to her she begins to sing. In a couple of years they have built A home sweet home With a couple of kids running in the yard Of desmond and molly jones. Happy ever after in the market place Molly lets the children lend a hand Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face And in the evening she’s a singer with the band. And if you want some fun-take obladi oblada. The Beatles (I have no idea where that exclamation thing came from, but oh well....) |

This Is The Life (theme to Johnny Dangerously) - Weird Al Yankovic
I eat filet mignon seven times a day My bathtub's filled with Perrier What can I say This is the life I buy a dozen cars when I'm in the mood I hire somebody to chew my food I'm an upwardly mobile dude This is the life They say that money corrupts you But I can't really tell I got the whole world at my feet And I think it's pretty swell I got women lined up outside my door They've been waitin' there since the week before Who could ask for more This is the life You're dead for a real long time You just can't prevent it So if money can't buy happiness I guess I'll have to rent it Yeah, every day I make the front page news No time to pay my dues I got a million pairs of shoes This is the life I got a solid gold Cadillac I make a fortune while I sleep You can tell I'm a living legend Not some ordinary creep No way, I'm the boss, the big cheese Yeah, I got this town on its knobby little knees And I can do just what I please This is the life That's right, I'm the king, number one I buy monographed Kleenex by the ton I pay the bills, I call the shots I grease the palms, I buy the yachts One thing I can guarantee The best things in life, they sure ain't free It's such a thrill just to be me This is the life Waah, this is the life :cheers: |
Always been a big fan of Queen. This happens to probably be my favorite song from them. I like to belt it out whenever I hear it, and sometimes when I don't...
Fat Bottomed Girls Ah you wanna take me home tonight Ah down beside your red firelight Ah you gonna let it all hang out Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round Hey I was just a skinny lad Never knew no good from bad But I knew life before I left my nursery Left alone with big fat Fanny She was such a naughty nanny Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me Hey hey!

I know -- I've been consistently stoked by the lyrics you've put out there... been keeping some fun songs in my brain. I'll probably be thinking of FBGs as I go to sleep... Always funny to picture all the ladies on their bikes... LOL

Heroes
David Bowie I I will be king And you You will be queen Though nothing will Drive them away We can beat them Just for one day We can be Heroes Just for one day And you You can be mean And I I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers And that is a fact Yes we're lovers And that is that Though nothing Will keep us together We could steal time Just for one day We can be Heroes For ever and ever What d'you say |

For NA and BlueErica:
Under Pressure- Queen and David Bowie Um boom ba bay Um boom ba bay Um Um boom ba bay bay Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you no man ask for Under pressure That burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets Um ba ba bay Um ba ba bay Doo day duh Ee day duh that's okay! It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Scream let me out! Pray tomorrow takes me higher Pressure on people People on streets Day day day da da dup bup bup O-kay Chippin' around my brains are on the floor These are the days It never rains but it pours Ee do bay bup Ee do bay ba bup Novo Bay lup People on streets Dee da dee da day People on streets De de dee da dee da dee da It's the terror of knowing What this world is about Watching some good friends Scream: let me out! Pray tomorrow takes me higher high high Pressure on people People on streets Turned away from it all Like a blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love But it's so slashed and torn Why why why? Love love love love love Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love give love give love? Give love give love give love give love give love give love? Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care For the people on the edge of the light And love dares you to change our way Of caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves Under Pressure Under Pressure Pressure |
(May Vanilla Ice burn in hell for sampling that song....)

Diamond Dogs (I love the line "Wrecked up and paralyzed, diamond dogs are sableized" - just doesn't get much hotter than that hehe) This ain’t rock’n’roll. this is genocide! As they pulled you out of the oxygen tent You asked for the latest party With your silicone hump and your ten inch stump Dressed like a priest you was Tod browning’s freak you was Crawling down the alley on your hands and knee I’m sure you’re not protected, for it’s plain to see The diamond dogs are poachers and they hide behind trees Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal (will they come? ) I’ll keep a friend serene (will they come? ) Oh baby, come unto me (will they come? ) Well, she’s come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You’ll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs The halloween jack is a real cool cat And he lives on top of manhattan chase The elevator’s broke, so he slides down a rope Onto the street below, oh tarzie, go man go Meet his little hussy with his ghost town approach Her face is sans feature, but she wears a dali brooch Sweetly reminiscent, something mother used to bake Wrecked up and paralyzed, diamond dogs are sableized (will they come? ) I’ll keep a friend serene (will they come? ) Oh baby, come unto me (will they come? ) Well, she’s come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You’ll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the diamond dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the diamond dogs In the year of the scavenger, the season of the bitch Sashay on the boardwalk, scurry to the ditch Just another future song, lonely little kitsch (there’s gonna be sorrow) try and wake up tomorrow (will they come? ) I’ll keep a friend serene (will they come? ) Oh baby, come unto me (will they come? ) Well, she’s come, been and gone. Come out of the garden, baby You’ll catch your death in the fog Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs Young girl, they call them the diamond dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the diamond dogs Oo-oo-ooh, call them the diamond dogs Bow-wow, woof woof, bow-wow, wow Call them the diamond dogs Dogs Call them the diamond dogs, call them, call them Call them the diamond dogs, call them, call them, ooo Call them the diamond dogs Keep cool Diamond dogs rule, ok Hey-hey-hey-hey Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs Beware of the diamond dogs |
On Jonesy's Jukebox (Indie 103.1) he whistled Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" (it was for a contest to win a DVD set), and if you knew what it was, you called in and let them know. Well, all frigging day, I was whistling that song, and I'm sure I looked/sounded a little off while whistling it at school...
She sits alone waiting for suggestions he's so nervous avoiding all the questions. His lips are dry her heart is gently pounding don't you just know exactly what they're thinking If you want my body and you think I'm sexy come on sugar let me know. If you really need me just reach out and touch me come on honey tell me so. Tell me so, baby. He's acting shy looking for an answer, Come on honey, let's spend the night together, Now hold on a minute before we go much further, Give me a dime so I can 'phone my mother, They catch a cab to his high rise apartment, At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant. If you want my body and you think I'm sexy come on honey tell me so. If you really need me just reach out and touch me come on sugar let me know. His heart's beating like a drum 'cos at last he's got his girl home relax baby now we are alone Oh They wake at dawn 'cos all the birds are singing, Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking. Outside it's cold misty and it's raining, They got each other neither one's complaining, He say's I sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee, Never mind sugar we can watch the early movie. If you want my body and you think I'm sexy come on sugar let me know. If you really need me just reach out and touch me come on honey tell me so. Oh... Sugar If you really need me just reach out and touch me come on sugar let me know. If you really, really, really, really need me just let me know just reach out and touch me, mmm If you really want me just reach out and touch me come on sugar let me know If you really need me just reach out and touch me come on sugar let me know if you, if you, if you really need me just come on and tell me so |

On my way back from Mexico this year, I had a van full of high school girls. We blasted Queen's greatest hits and sang along to them all....and I now have a blackmail video to use on them when they're older and richer, of them all belting their hearts out to Fat Bottomed Girls. It cracks me up every time I watch it. |
~Bad Boyfriend~ Garbage
(One of my most favorite bands EVER. I wish I could post every lyric by them!) I've got a fever Come check it and see There's something burning and rolling in me We may not last but we'll have fun till it ends C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend I wanna hear you call out my name I wanna see you burn up in flames Keep you on ice so I can show all my friends C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend So ripe so sweet come suck it and see But watch out Daddy I sting like a bee I know some tricks I swear will give you the bends C'mon baby be my bad boyfriend My fever's rising you ran into luck Say what sugar You wanna get what?

STARDUST
Hoagy Carmichael And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we’re apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust Of yesterday The music Of the years Gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely nights Dreaming of a song. The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you. When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration. But that was long ago, and now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song. Beside the garden wall, when stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew. Though I dream in vain, in my heart you will remain My stardust melody The memory of love’s refrain. |

Red Right Hand -- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Take a litle walk to the edge of town Go across the tracks Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom As it shifts and cracks Where secrets lie in the border fires, in the humming wires Hey man, you know you're never coming back Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man In a dusty black coat with a red right hand He'll wrap you in his arms, tell you that you've been a good boy He'll rekindle all the dreams it took you a lifetime to destroy He'll reach deep into the hole, heal your shrinking soul Hey buddy, you know you're never ever coming back He's a god, he's a man, he's a ghost, he's a guru They're whispering his name through this disappearing land But hidden in his coat is a red right hand |
And as long as we're in a Queen fest, here's the one I'm most likely to be belting:
Can anybody find me somebody to love Ooh, each morning I get up I die a little Can barely stand on my feet (Take a look at yourself) Take a look in the mirror and cry (and cry) Lord what you're doing to me (yeah yeah) I have spent all my years in believing you But I just can't get no relief, Lord! Somebody (somebody) ooh somebody (somebody) Can anybody find me somebody to love ? Yeah I work hard (he works hard) every day of my life I work till I ache in my bones At the end (at the end of the day) I take home my hard earned pay all on my own I get down (down) on my knees (knees) And I start to pray Till the tears run down from my eyes Lord somebody (somebody), ooh somebody (Please) Can anybody find me somebody to love ? (He works hard) Everyday (everyday) - I try and I try and I try But everybody wants to put me down They say I'm going crazy They say I got a lot of water in my brain Ah, got no common sense I got nobody left to believe in Yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh Lord Ooh somebody - ooh somebody Can anybody find me somebody to love ? (Can anybody find me someone to love) Got no feel, I got no rhythm I just keep losing my beat (You just keep losing and losing) I'm OK, I'm alright (he's alright - he's alright) I ain't gonna face no defeat (yeah yeah) I just gotta get out of this prison cell One day (someday) I'm gonna be free, Lord! Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love love love Find me somebody to love Find me somebody to love somebody somebody somebody somebody Somebody find me Somebody find me somebody to love Can anybody find me somebody to love ? (Find me somebody to love) Ooh (Find me somebody to love) Find me somebody, somebody (find me somebody to love) somebody, somebody to love (Find me somebody to love) Find me, find me, find me, find me, find me Ooh - somebody to love (Find me somebody to love) Ooh (Find me somebody to love) Find me, find me, find me somebody to love (Find me somebody to love) Anybody, anywhere, anybody find me somebody to love love love! Wooo somebody find me, find me love. |

U2 - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
I know that we don’t talk I’m sick of it all Can - you - hear - me – when – I - Sing, you’re the reason I sing You’re the reason why the opera is in me… Flogging Molly - Seven Deadly Sins Envy and it's evil twin It crept in bed with slander Idiots they gave advice Both Sloth it gave no answer Anger kills the human soul With bitter tales of lust While Pavlov's Dogs keep chewin' On the legs they never trust Sail away where no ball and chain Can keep us from the roarin' waves Together undevided but forever we'll be free So sail away aboard our rig The moon is full and so are we We're seven drunken pirates We're the seven deadly sins |
Making Pies, by Patti Griffin
It's not far, I can walk Down the block to Table Talk Close my eyes and make the pies all day Plastic cap on my hair I used to mind, now I don't care I used to mind, now I don't care 'Cause I'm gray Did I show you this picture of my nephew Taken at his big birthday suprise At my sister's house last Sunday? This is Monday and I'm making pies I'm making pies Thursday night go and type At the church with Father Mike It gets me out, and he ain't hard to like at all Jesus stares at me in my chair With his big blue eyes and his honey-brown hair He's looking at me from way up there on the wall Did I show you this picture of my sweetheart taken of us before the war? Of the Greek and his Italian girl One Sunday at the shore We tied our ribbons to the fire escape They were taken by the birds And they flew off to the country As the bombs rained on the world 5 AM, here I am Walkin' the block to Table Talk You could cry or die, or just make pies all day I'm making pies I'm making pies |

At Last Written By: M. Gordon, H. Warren Lyrics: At last my love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Ohh yeah yeah At last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream, that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Ohh yeah yeah You smile, you smile Oh and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine at last I found a dream, that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Ohh yeah yeah You smile, you smile Oh and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven For you are mine at last At last... at last |
They tell us that
We lost our tails Evolving up From little snails I say it’s all Just wind in sails Are we not men? We are devo! We’re pinheads now We are not whole We’re pinheads all Jocko homo Are we not men? D-e-v-o Monkey men all In business suit Teachers and critics All dance the poot Are we not men? We are devo! Are we not men? D-e-v-o God made man But he used the monkey to do it Apes in the plan We’re all here to prove it I can walk like an ape Talk like an ape I can do what a monkey can do God made man But a monkey supplied the glue We must repeat O.k. let’s go! |
DAMN! That song had just left my head too.

Aqualung- Jethro Tull
Sitting on a park bench -- eyeing ittle girls with bad intent. Snot running down his nose -- greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes. Drying in the cold sun -- Watching as the frilly panties run. Feeling like a dead duck -- spitting out pieces of his broken luck. Sun streaking cold -- an old man wandering lonely. Taking time the only way he knows. Leg hurting bad, as he bends to pick a dog-end -- he goes down to the bog and warms his feet. Feeling alone -- the army's up the rode salvation à la mode and a cup of tea. Aqualung my friend -- don't start away uneasy you poor old sod, you see, it's only me. Do you still remember December's foggy freeze -- when the ice that clings on to your beard is screaming agony. And you snatch your rattling last breaths with deep-sea-diver sounds, and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring. |
Elton John, when he was good....
Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road When are you gonna come down When are you going to land I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can’t hold me forever I didn’t sign up with you I’m not a present for your friends to open This boy’s too young to be singing the blues So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can’t plant me in your penthouse I’m going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road What do you think you’ll do then I bet that’ll shoot down your plane It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you’ll get a replacement There’s plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain’t got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground |
All I Wanna Do ~ Sheryl Crow
Hit it! This ain't no disco It ain't no country club either This is LA! All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die, Says the man next to me out of nowhere It's apropos of nothing He says his name's William but I'm sure He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy And he's plain ugly to me And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday In a bar that faces a giant car wash The good people of the world are washing their cars On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing As best they can in skirts in suits They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks Back to the phone company, the record store too Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause [Chorus] All I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling I'm not the only one All I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling I'm not the only one All I wanna do is have some fun Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard I like a good beer buzz early in the morning And Billy likes to peel the labels From his bottles of Bud He shreds them on the bar Then he lights every match in an oversized pack Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor And a happy couple enters the bar Dangerously close to one another The bartender looks up from his want ads Chorus Otherwise the bar is ours, The day and the night and the car wash too The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars The sun and the moon but Chorus |
It's The End Of The World As We Know It (and I feel fine)
REM That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, the Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire in a fire, representing seven games, and a government for hire at a combat site. Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furys breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped. Look at that low playing. Fine, then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do to Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam bug net, right? Right. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine... |
I love the way, when reading these lyrics, the songs just unfurl in my head. My own private radio!
Or is that Idaho? Eeee gads, another song stuck... |
Lol- I know, I was just 'singing' the actual words to the REM song, as opposed to the ones I always thought he was singing....

For Lizzie:
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo You're living in your own Private Idaho Living in your own Private Idaho Underground like a wild potato. Don't go on the patio. Beware of the pool, blue bottomless pool. It leads you straight right throught the gate that opens on the pool. You're living in your own Private Idaho. You're living in your own Private Idaho. Keep off the path, beware the gate, watch out for signs that say "hidden driveways". Don't let the chlorine in your eyes blind you to the awful surprise that's waitin' for you at the bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue pool. You're livin in your own Private Idaho. Idaho. You're out of control, the rivers that roll, you fell into the water and down to Idaho. Get out of that state, get out of that state you're in. You better beware. You're living in your own Private Idaho. You're living in your own Private Idaho. Keep off the patio, keep off the path. The lawn may be green but you better not be seen walkin' through the gate that leads you down, down to a pool fraught with danger is a pool full of strangers. You're living in your own Private Idaho, where do I go from here to a better state than this. Well, don't be blind to the big surprise swimming round and round like the deadly hand of a radium clock, at the bottom, of the pool. I-I-I-daho I-I-I-daho Woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Get out of that state Get out of that state You're living in your own Private Idaho, livin in your own Private....

Blinded By The Light- Bruce Springsteen
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing, the calliope crashed to the ground Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot, snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band" And she was blinded by the light Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night Blinded by the light She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the East He says, "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone, watchin' the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance |
One ~ U2
Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you Now you got someone to blame You say One love One life When it's one need In the night It's one love We get to share it It leaves you baby If you don't care for it Did I disappoint you ? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth ? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's too late Tonight To drag tha past out Into the light We're one But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come tor raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same We hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One |

Although now that I think about it, this one's my favorite:
She went away for the holidays said she’s Going to l.a. but she never got there She never got there, she never got there, they say She went away for the holidays said she’s Going to l.a. but she never got there She never got there, she never got there, they say The kkk took my baby away they took her away Away from me the kkk took my baby away They took her away away from me Now I don’t know where my baby can be they Took her away from me they took her away from me I don’t know where my baby can be they took Her away from mr they took her away from me Ring me, ring me, ring me up the president And finf out where my baby went Ring me, ring me, ring me up the fbi and find Out if baby’s alive yeah, yeah, yeah O-o-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o-o-o She went away for holidays she went away for holidays The kkk took my baby away the kkk took my baby away They took my girl they took my baby away (Song most likely heard blasting from my car on a summer afternoon while I head up 405.) |
THUNDER ROAD
Bruce Springsteen The screen door slams Mary's dress waves Like a vision she dances across the porch As the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely Hey that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside darling you know just what I'm here for So you're scared and you're thinking That maybe we ain't that young anymore Show a little faith, there's magic in the night You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright Oh and that's alright with me You can hide 'neath your covers And study your pain Make crosses from your lovers Throw roses in the rain Waste your summer praying in vain For a savior to rise from these streets Well now I'm no hero That's understood All the redemption I can offer, girl Is beneath this dirty hood With a chance to make it good somehow Hey what else can we do now Except roll down the window And let the wind blow back your hair Well the night's busting open These two lanes will take us anywhere We got one last chance to make it real To trade in these wings on some wheels Climb in back Heaven's waiting on down the tracks Oh oh come take my hand Riding out tonight to case the promised land Oh oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road oh Thunder Road Lying out there like a killer in the sun Hey I know it's late we can make it if we run Oh Thunder Road, sit tight take hold Thunder Road Well I got this guitar And I learned how to make it talk And my car's out back If you're ready to take that long walk From your front porch to my front seat The door's open but the ride it ain't free And I know you're lonely For words that I ain't spoken But tonight we'll be free All the promises'll be broken There were ghosts in the eyes Of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets They scream your name at night in the street Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet And in the lonely cool before dawn You hear their engines roaring on But when you get to the porch they're gone On the wind, so Mary climb in It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win. |

Some of my favorite Ataris lyrics:
From 1*15*96 I sometimes think about how things could be If you would've took a chance and moved out here with me. We'd cruise along the 101 in the California sun Sing Descendents songs and have ourselves lots of fun. Stay out drinking really late stumble home from lower State. Treat every day like it would be our first date. Especially the part about stumbling home from lower State....been there, done that, way too many times...even made another LoTter do it once. :eek: From San Dimas High School Football Rules Last night I had a dream that we went to Disneyland, Went on all the rides, didn't have to wait in line. I drove you to your house where we stared up at the stars I listened to your heartbeat as I held you in my arms. And of course: In This Diary Here in this diary, I write you visions of my summer. It was the best I ever had. There were choruses and sing-alongs, And that unspoken feeling of knowing Right now is all that matters All the nights we stayed up talking and listening to 80's songs; quoting lines from all those movies that we love. It still brings a smile to my face. I guess when it comes down to it... Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up: These are the best days of our lives. The only thing that matters is just following your heart and eventually you'll finally get it right. Breaking into hotel swimming pools, and wreaking havoc on our world. Hanging out at truck stops just to pass the time. The black top's singing me to sleep. Lighting fireworks in parking lots, illuminate the blackest nights. Cherry cokes under this moonlight summer sky. 2015 Riverside, it's time to say, "goodbye." Get on the bus, it's time to go. Being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up: These are the best days of our lives. The only thing that matters is just following your heart, and eventually you'll finally get it right It always makes me think fondly of times gone by, and people who are no longer in my life. |
(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes ~ Elvis Costello
Oh, I used to be disgusted And now I try to be amused But since their wings have got rusted You know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain That's when I knew that I could not refuse And I won't get any older, 'cause the angels wanna wear my red shoes Oh, oh, I was watching while you're dancing away Our love got fractured in the echo and sway How come everybody wants to be your friend? You know that it still hurts me just to say it Oh, I know that she's disgusted (Oh, why's that?) 'Cause she's feeling so abused (Oh, that's too bad) She gets tired of the lust (Oh, I'm so sad) But it's so hard to refuse Can you say that I'm too old When the angels have stolen my red shoes? Oh, I said, "I'm so happy I could die" She said, "Drop dead," then left with another guy That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance Ever since you got me punctured, this has been my sentence (REPEAT FIRST VERSE) Oh, I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes |

Okay, laugh away, but the lyrics to this song are my absolute favorite and have gotten me through some rough patches. :snap: Plus, these lyrics have made their way into my sig on at least a squillion different occasions!
Life's A Show ~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Once More With Feeling Soundtrack Life’s a show and we all play a part And when the music starts, We open up our hearts It’s all right if some things come out wrong. We’ll sing a happy song And you can sing along. Where’s there’s life, There’s hope. Everyday’s A gift. Wishes can Come true. Whistle while You work. So hard All day. To be like other girls To fit in in this glittering world. Don’t give me songs. Don’t give me songs. Give me something to sing about. I need something to sing about. Life’s a song You don’t get to rehearse. And every single verse Can make it that much worse. Still my friends Don’t know why I ignore The million things or more I should be dancing for. All the joy Life sends. Family And friends. All the twists And bends Knowing that It ends. Well that Depends… On if they let you go, On if they know enough to know That when you bow You leave the crowd. There was no pain, No fear, no doubt Till they pulled me out Of heaven. So that’s my refrain. I live in hell ’Cause I’ve been expelled From heaven. I think I was in heaven. So give me something to sing about. Please give me something. Life’s not a song. Life isn’t bliss. Life is just this. It’s living. You’ll get along. The pain that you feel Only can heal By living. You have to go on living. So that one of us is living. |
When the President Talks to God ~ Bright Eyes When the President talks to God, are the conversations brief or long? Does he ask to rape our womens rights, and send poor farm kids off to die? Does God suggest an oil hike, when the President talks to God? When the President talks to God, are the consonants all hard or soft? Is he resolute all down the line? Is every issue black or white? Does what God say ever change his mind, when the President talks to God? When the President talks to God, does he fake that drawl or merely nod? Agree which convicts should be killed? Where prisons should be built and filled? Which voter fraud must be concealed, when the President talks to God? When the President talks to God, I wonder which one plays the better cop. "We should find some jobs, the ghetto's broke," "No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't; just give 'em more liqour stores and dirty coke!" That's what God recommends. When the President talks to God, do they drink near beer and go play golf while they pick which countries to invade, which Muslim souls still can be saved? I guess God just calls a spade a spade when the President talks to God. When the President talks to God, does he ever think that maybe he's not? That that voice is just inside his head, when he kneels next to the presidential bed? Does he ever smell his own bvllsh*t? When the President talks to God? I doubt it...I doubt it. |
Head like a Hole - NIN

Change the World ~ sung by Eric Clapton
If I can reach the stars, Pull one down for you, Shine it on my heart So you could see the truth: That this love I have inside Is everything it seems. But for now I find It’s only in my dreams. And I can change the world, I will be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. And if I could be king, Even for a day, I’d take you as my queen; I’d have it no other way. And our love would rule This kingdom we had made. Till then I’d be a fool, Wishing for the day... That I can change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. I could change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe. You would think my love was really something good, Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. Baby if I could change the world. |

The Little Prince Song
(Music by Rachel Portman, Lyrics by Nicholas Wright; from the children's opera The Little Prince based on the book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry) PRINCE Far away the sun is setting. Shadows darken everywhere. One by one the stars are building Silver castles in the air. Somewhere there's a tiny planet Where a flower grows. She is weak and she is helpless She is just a rose. If a flower is loved by someone If that someone is a boy When the stars come out at sunset He will look and laugh with joy. If that flower has been taken Stars will flee the sky Then he will see the darkness And he'll cry. ROSE Your flower is waiting And your home is near. The stars that shine on you Are shining here. STARS "We're shining!" "We're shining!" ROSE They'll help you find All that you left behind. Their silver song Is all you need to learn. Trust your heart And you will soon return. Far though you roam Starlight will guide you home. PRINCE Looking at the star at midnight Searching every inch of air I can't see my tiny planet But I'm certain that it's there If the stars would only take me Up into the sky My heart would guide me homewards And I'd fly. ROSE/STARS Your flower is waiting And your home is near. The stars that shine on you Are shining here. PRINCE/STARS "I'm trying! / I'm flying!" "He's trying! / He's flying!" ROSE/STARS They'll help you find All that you left behind. Their silver song Is all you need to learn. Trust your heart And you will soon return. Far though you roam Starlight will fly you home. STARS The prince is flying. He's flying high. The prince is flying... |
Quote:
Yeah, so here's my Garbage song, Right Between the Eyes Don't care what they have to say Why you listening to them anyway Why do you have to give them what they want? They love to watch you as you fall apart Stick it to them like a phoenix rise There's nothing grander than the big surprise They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones About time take them right between the eyes Seek to destroy cause they're scared of you That's why they try to make a fool of you They're so jealous of my pretty star Cause you've got soul inside your shattered heart Stick it to them like a phoenix rise There's nothing grander than the big surprise They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones About time take them right between the eyes And you've been waiting all your life To fly high into somebody else And it's true it's a cruel, cruel world Life's a bitch and then you die my love Don't care what they have to say You shouldn't listen to them anyway Stick it to them like a phoenix rise There's nothing grander than the big surprise They can't hurt you with their sticks and stones About time take them right between the eyes People like to build you up Then they'll stab you in the back like that You know it breaks my heart Can't see you going out like that Stay alive my love Stay alive my love Stay alive my love Stay alive my love |
Child Psychology - Black Box Recorder
I stopped talking when I was six years old I didn't want anything more to do with the outside world I was happy being quiet But of course they wouldn't leave me alone My parents tried every trick in the book From speech therapists to child psychologists They even tried bribery I could have anything, as long as I said it out loud Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it Of course this episode didn't last forever I'd made my point and it was time to move on To peel away the next layer of deceit And see what new surprises lay in store My school report said I showed no interest 'A disruptive influence' I felt sorry for them in a way And when they finally expelled me It didn't mean a thing Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it ("At that time she stopped what she was doing, she stopped playing... she stared, she had the facial grimicing... and then the psychiatrist was saying, "Julie, Julie, can you hear me? Can you open your eyes? Can you stick out your tongue?" And all of a sudden, Julie struck out") The November when I came home the Christmas decorations were already up Spray on snow, coloured flashing lights And an artificial tree that played Silent Night Over and over again My parents welcomed me with loving arms But within an hour were back at each others throats Normal, happy childhood back on course Batteries not included Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it |
You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts Jitterbug into my brain Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same But something's bugging you Something ain't right My best friend told me what you did last night Left me sleepin' in my bed I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead. Wake me up before you go-go Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo Wake me up before you go-go I don't want to miss it when you hit that high Wake me up before you go-go 'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo Wake me up before you go-go Take me dancing tonight I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah) |

Ally, that's a good 'un from Buffy, but I would pick this one:
Anya: This is the man that I plan to entangle, isn't he fine? My claim to fame was to maim and to mangle, vengeance was mine. But I'm out of the biz. The name I made I'll change for his. The only trouble is-- I'll never tell. Xander: She is the one, she's such wonderful fun, she's passion and grace Warm in the night, when I'm right in her tight-- embrace! Tight embrace!

Anya: Will I look good When I've gotten old? Xander: Will our lives become too stressful If I'm never that successful? Anya: When I get so worn and wrinkly That I look like David Brinkley? Xander: Am I crazy? Anya: Am I dreamin'? Xander: Am I marrying a demon? Xander and Anya: We could really raise the beam In makin' marriage a hell So thank god, I'll never tell I swear that I'll never tell Xander: My lips are sealed Anya: I take the fifth Xander: Nothin' to see Move it along Xander and Anya: I'll never... Tell! |
Unwell- Matchbox Twenty
All day Staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night Hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on I'm feeling like I'm headed for a Breakdown I don't know why I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be Me Talking to myself in public Dodging glances on the train I know I know they've all been talking 'bout me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong With me Out of all the hours thinking Somehow I've lost my mind I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be I been talking in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're taking me away I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be Hey, how I used to be How I used to be, yeah Well I'm just a little unwell How I used to be How I used to be |
Needles and Pins ~ The Ramones (written by Jack Nitzsche and Sonny Bono)
I saw her today, I saw her face It was the face I loved and I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray That they'd go away But still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Hey, I thought I was smart, I wanted her Didn't think I'd do, but now I see She's worse to him than me Let her go ahead, take his love instead And one day she will see Just how to say please And get down on her knees Yeah, that's how it begins She'll feel those needles and pins a-hurtin her, a-hurtin her Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong Because I saw her today, I saw her face It was the face I loved and I knew I had to run away and get down on my knees and pray That they'd go away But still they begin Needles and pins Because of all my pride The tears I gotta hide Ah, needles and pins Needles and pins Needles and pins |

I was about to share this at the Confessional, but they are song lyrics afterall. Perhaps the catharsis itself belongs there, but the song lyrics are probably more suitable here.
I confess that I am inexplicably moved by this song, the music setting primarily, and the lyrics a close secondary in this case. I'm not one for sappy love songs, but this one is epic... this love is larger than "lovers." Sigh... <sheds a sincere tear> YOU CAN'T STOP LOVE Music by Jonathan Elias Lyrics by Marty Stuart & Kostas It's greater than the world Wider than the sky It's strong enough to make mountains crumble Or make a grown man cry It can touch the coldest heart Put broken things together Finds what's lost, it never counts the cost And it goes on forever You can't stop it Wake up America Wake up Wake up You can try to drown it in a sea of tears Lock it up in chains for a million years Run from it, hide from it, but one thing's clear You can't stop love It's freer than the wind And it shines out in the dark It's bigger than all of the heavens and earth But small enough to fit inside your heart People it's something that you can't forget Throw it away and you'll find regret Go ahead, fight it, give it your best But you can't stop love |
Cut Here- The Cure
"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand All dry and english slow And you look at me and I understand Yeah it's a look I used to know "Three long years... and your favourite man... Is that any way to say hello?" And you hold me... like you'll never let me go "Oh c'mon and and have a drink with me Sit down and talk a while..." "Oh I wish I could... and I will! But now I just dont have the time..." And over my shoulder as I walk away I see you give that look goodbye... I still see that look in your eye... So dizzy Mr Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy All the silly frilly things have to first get done In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it june Until later... doesn't always come It's so hard to think "It ends sometime And this could be the last I should really hear you sing again And I should really watch you dance" Because it's hard to think "I'll never get another chance To hold you... to hold you... " But chilly Mr Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done In a second - just hang on - all in good time - wont be long Until later... I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while I would've done it right - I would've moved us on But I didn't - now it's all too late It's over... over And you're gone.. I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you so much But how how many times can I walk away and wish "If only..." But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only..." Keep on making the same mistake Keep on aching the same heartbreak I wish "If only..." But "If only...." Is a wish too late... |
Blue Light ~ Pretty Girls Make Graves
Hello, I'm neurotic, Creating problems that don't exist, Don't believe me when I say it's alright. Let's go to my apartment, We'll pull the sheets up over our head. Forget all reasons to go outside.

I tell you how I feel, but you don't care I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare You say love is a hell you cannot bear And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds And you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice Cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you Don't come around I got my own hell to raise I have never been so insulted in all my life I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride First you run like a fool just to be at my side And now you run like a fool But you just run to hide And I can't abide I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds And you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice Cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you Don't come around I got my own hell to raise Don't make it a big deal, don't be so sensitive We're not playing a game anymore You don't have to be so defensive Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain Don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame Just go back to the rock from under which you came Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim - And don't forget the blame I got my feet on the ground and I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds And you're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice Cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you Don't come around I got my own hell to raise |
One of my favorite songs -- I nearly want to cry when I hear it...
Bob Marley - No Woman, No Cry No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry. Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit In the government yard in trenchtown, Oba - obaserving the ’ypocrites As they would mingle with the good people we meet. Good friends we have, oh, good friends we’ve lost Along the way. In this great future, you can’t forget your past; So dry your tears, I seh. No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry. ’ere, little darlin’, don’t shed no tears: No, woman, no cry. Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit In the government yard in trenchtown. And then georgie would make the fire lights, As it was logwood burnin’ through the nights. Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, Of which I’ll share with you; My feet is my only carriage, So I’ve got to push on through. But while I’m gone, I mean: Everything’s gonna be all right! Everything’s gonna be all right! Everything’s gonna be all right! Everything’s gonna be all right! I said, everything’s gonna be all right-a! Everything’s gonna be all right! Everything’s gonna be all right, now! Everything’s gonna be all right! So, woman, no cry; No - no, woman - woman, no cry. Woman, little sister, don’t shed no tears; No, woman, no cry. I remember when we used to sit In the government yard in trenchtown. And then georgie would make the fire lights, As it was logwood burnin’ through the nights. Then we would cook cornmeal porridge, Of which I’ll share with you; My feet is my only carriage, So I’ve got to push on through. But while I’m gone: No, woman, no cry; No, woman, no cry. Woman, little darlin’, say don’t shed no tears; No, woman, no cry. Eh! (little darlin’, don’t shed no tears! No, woman, no cry. Little sister, don’t shed no tears! No, woman, no cry.) |
When I'm not singing the Sanba version of Clash's Guns of Brixton, I'm singing Coldplay's Fix You.
When you try your best but you don't succeed When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try and fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try and fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from all of my mistakes Tears stream down your face And I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you. |
Nine Inch Nails - Sanctified
it's still getting worse after everything i tried. what if i found a way to wash it all aside. what if she touches with those fingertips. as the words spill out like fire from her lips. Chorus: if she says come inside i'll come inside for her. if she says five it all i'll give everything to her. i am justified. i am purified. i am sanctified. inside you Heaven's just a rumor she'll dispel. as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell. i still dream of lips i never should have never kissed. well she knows exactly what i can't resist Chorus i'm just caught up in another of her spells. she's turning me into someone else. everyday i hope and pray this will end. but when i can i do it all again Chorus as surely as the blades course is run. maybe my kingdom's finally come |
The river is deep and the road is long,
Daylight comes and I want to go home. Awoke this morning To find my people's tongues were tied And in my dreams They were given books to poison their minds. The river is deep and the mountain high, How long before the other side. We are their mortar, Their building bricks and their clay. Their gold teeth mirror Both our joys and our pain. The river is deep and the ocean wide, Who will teach us how to read the signs. The earth is our mother She taught us to embrace the light, Now the lord is master She suffers an eternal night. You blocked up my ears, You plucked out my eyes, You cut out my tongue, You fed me with lies, Oh lord. Song of the Dispossessed - Dead Can Dance Great song to sing along to while on a crowded bus :D |

Depeche Mode - Question of Lust
Fragile Like a baby in your arms Be gentle with me Id never willingly Do you harm Apologies Are all you seem to get from me But just like a child You make me smile When you care for me And you know Its a question of lust Its a question of trust Its a question of not letting What weve built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together Independence Is still important for us though (we realise) Its easy to make The stupid mistake Of letting go (do you know what I mean) My weaknesses You know each and every one (it frightens me) But I need to drink More than you seem to think Before Im anyones And you know Its a question of lust Its a question of trust Its a question of not letting What weve built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together Kiss me goodbye When Im on my own But you know that id Rather be home Its a question of lust |
Missed the last train home
Birds pass by to tell me That I'm not alone Well, I'm pushing myself To finish this part I can handle a lot But one thing i'm missing is in your eyes Have you seen this film? It reminds me of walking down the avenue Well I'm washing my hands of attachments, Yeah I will land on the ground But one thing I’m missing is in your eyes |
I have no fear of drowning
it's the breathing that's taking all this work |
I needed to believe something
I need you to believe in something I needed to BELIEVE I needed to BELIEVE Oh! ~Chemical Brothers |
Beer in Mexico
Starin' out into the wild blue yonder So many thoughts to sit and ponder 'Bout life and love and lack of And this emptiness in my heart Too old to be wild and free still Too young to be over the hill Should I try to grow up But who knows where to start So I just ... Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Sun comes up and sun sinks down And I seen 'em both in this tourist town Up for days in a rage Just tryin' to search my soul From the answers and the reasons why I'm at these crossroads in my life And I really don't know Which way to go So I just ... Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Do my best to waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Maybe I'll settle down, get married Or stay single and stay free Which road I travel Is still a mystery to me So I'll just ... Sit right here, have another beer in Mexico Do my best to waste another day Sit right here and have another beer in Mexico Let the warm air melt these blues away Down in Mexico ... |

My, brother, knows, Karl Marx,
He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park, He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?' 'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.' Took it straight down to meet the anarchist's party. I met a groovy guy, he was arty farty, He said 'I know a little latin man a cus man a kai' I said 'I don't know what it means' he said 'neither do I' Eat natural foods, bathe twice daily, Fill your nostrils up with gravy. Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee. Cover your chin in yorkshire toffee. Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumber, Wait a minute, where's me jumper, ( x4 ) Dancing at the disco, bumper to bumber, Wait a minute, where's me jumper ? ( x5 ) Oh no. Dancing at the disco, go, go, go. Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no, oh no. Dancing at the disco, go, go, go. Dancing at the disco, oh no, oh no. It's alright to say things can only get better, You haven't lost your brand new sweater. I know I had it on when I had my tea, And I'm sure I had it on in the lavatory. Oh no. Dancing in the disco, go, go, go. Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no. Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper, Wait a minute, where's me jumper ? ( x5 ) It's alright to say things can only get better, You haven't lost your brand new sweater. Pure new wool, and perfect stitches, Not the type of jumper that makes you itches Oh no. Dancing in the disco, go, go, go. Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no. And my mother, will be so, so angry. And my brother, will be so, so angry. And my girlfriend, will be so, so angry. And my dog, will be so, so angry. Cos I was dancing at the disco, bumper to bumper. Wait a minute, where's me jumper ( x5 ) Oh no ! |

That's great,
it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs. Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty psyched. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine. The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite. Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it. It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine... (It's time I had some time alone) |

"Any Other World" - Mika In any other world You could tell the difference And let it all unfurl Into broken reminants Smile like you mean it And let yourself let go Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in To the world you thought you lived in I tried to live alone But lonely is lonely, alone So human as I am I had to give up my defences So I smiled and tried to mean it To let myself let go Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in To the world you thought you lived in Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in To the world you thought you lived in Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in [x2] Say goodbye In any other world You could tell the difference [Spoken] "I never ever, I forget my story.

"Take My Breath Away" -- not sure who wrote it, but I have it sung by Michael Ball
Sometimes, it amazes me How strong the power of love can be Sometimes you just Take my breath away You watched my love grow, like a child Sometimes gentle, sometimes wild Sometimes you just Take my breath away And it's too good to slip by Too good to lose Too good to be there Just to use, I'm gonna Stand on a mountaintop And tell the news, that you Take my breath away Don't you know you ju-u-ust Don't you know you just Don't you know you just Take my breath away |

Bon Jovi Livin on a Prayer
Once upon a time Not so long ago Tommy used to work on the docks Unions been on strike Hes down on his luck...its tough, so tough Gina works the diner all day Working for her man, she brings home her pay For love - for love She says weve got to hold on to what weve got cause it doesnt make a difference If we make it or not Weve got each other and thats a lot For love - well give it a shot Chorus: Whooah, were half way there Livin on a prayer Take my hand and well make it - I swear Livin on a prayer Tommys got his six string in hock Now hes holding in what he used To make it talk - so tough, its tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries in the night Tommy whispers baby its okay, someday Weve got to hold on to what weve got cause it doesnt make a difference If we make it or not Weve got each other and thats a lot For love - well give it a shot Chorus Weve got to hold on ready or not You live for the fight when its all that youve got Chorus |

Have a Nice Day Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life? Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white? Mama, can you hear me? try to understand. Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man. My daddy lived a lie, it's just the price that he paid. Sacrificed his life, just slaving away. Oh,if there is one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge and show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my FACE, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day-ay-ay Take a look around you, nothing´s what it seems We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams, Let me be the first to shake a helping hand. Anybody, brave enough to take a stand, I've knocked on every door, on every dead-end street, Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe Oh, if there is one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge, and show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day Have A Nice Day-ay-ay. (Guitar Solo) Oh oh , if there is one thing I hang onto, That gets me through the night. I ain't gonna do what I don't want to, I'm gonna live my life. Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice, Standing on the ledge,and show the wind how to fly. When the world gets in my face, I say, Have A Nice Day. Have A Nice Day-ay-ay (in the background) (Have A Nice Day) When The world keeps trying to drag me down, Gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground. I say, hey, Have A Nice Day-ay-ay. Have A Nice Day! |

I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their saftey zones Now what can you tell them And what can you say that won't make them defensive Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight They come on like their peaceful But inside they're so uptight They trip through the day And waste all their thoughts at night Now how can I say it And how can I come on When I know I'm guilty Hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight Now how can I say it And how can I come on When I know I'm guilty So hang on to your ego Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight ~ The Beach Boys |

But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it Ill make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Though life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you If you should ever leave me Well life would still go on believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows what I'd be without you God only knows... ~ The Beach Boys |

Lost Highway In my rearview mirror My life is gettin clearer The sunset sighs and slowly disappears These trinkets once were treasure Life changes like the weather You grow up, grow old or hit the road ’round here So I drive, watching white lines passing by With my plastic dashboard Jesus, waiting there to greet us Hey, hey, I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas there ain’t no brakes on this lost highway Yeah I’m busting loose, I’m letting go Out on this open road It’s independence day on this lost highway I don’t know where I’m going But I know where I’ve been I’m afraid of going back again So I drive, years and miles are flying by And waiting there to great us Is my plastic dashboard Jesus [Lost Highway lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com] Hey, hey, I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas there ain’t no brakes on this lost highway Yeah I’m busting loose, I’m letting go Out on this open road It’s independence day on this lost highway Oh patron saint of lonely souls Tell this boy which way to go Guide the car, you got the keys Farewell to mediocrity Kicking off the cruise-control And turning up the radio Got just enough religion And a half tank of gas come on, let’s go I finally found my way Say goodbye to yesterday Hit the gas there ain’t no brakes on this lost highway I’m busting loose, I’m letting go When I'm out on this open road It’s independence day on this lost highway |

Hey madmonkeygirl - the first time I heard Lost Highway it reminded me of this Billy Idol tune.
Plastic Jesus (Released 2005) I don't care if it Rains or freezes As long as I've got my Plastic Jesus Ridin' on the dashboard Of my car Through my trials And tribulations And my travels Through the nation With my plastic Jesus I'll go far Ridin' down the thoroughfare With a nose up in the air A wreck may be ahead But he don't mind Trouble comin' He don't see He just keeps his eye on me And any other thing that lies behind [Chorus:] With my plastic Jesus Goodbye and I'll go far I said with my plastic Jesus Sitting on the dashboard of my car When I'm in a traffic jam He don't care if I say damn I can let all my curses roll 'Cos Jesus' plastic doesn't hear 'Cos he has a plastic ear The man who invented plastic Saved my soul [Chorus] An if I weave around at night Policemen think I'm very tight They never find my bottle Though they ask 'Cos plastic Jesus shelters me For his head comes off you see He's hollow and I use him like a flask Woa Woa Woa Save me I don't care if it's dark or scary Long as I got magnetic Mary Ridin' on the dashboard of my car I feel that I'm protected amply I've got the love of the whole damn family Ridin' on the dashboard of my car With my plastic Jesus I said goodbye And I'll go far And I said with my plastic Jesus I said sittin' on the dashboard of my car [Outro:] When I'm goin' fornicatin' I've got my ceramic Satan Sittin' on the dashboard of my car Women know I'm on the level Thanks to the wide-eyed stoneware devil Sneerin' from the dashboard of my car |

Bon Jovi Make a Memory Hello again, it's you and me Kinda always like it used to be Sippin' wine, killing time Trying to solve life's mysteries How's your life, it's been a while God it's good to see you smile I see you reaching for your keys Looking for a reason not to leave If you don't know if you should stay If you don't say what's on your mind Baby just breathe There's nowhere else tonight we should be You wanna make a memory? I dug up this old photograph Look at all that hair we had. It's bittersweet to hear you laugh [ Make A Memory lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ] Your phone is ringing I don't wanna ask If you go now, I'll understand If you stay, hey, I've got a plan We're gonna make a memory You wanna steal a piece of time You can sing the melody to me And I can write a couple of lines You wanna make a memory? If you don't know if you should stay And you don't say what's on your mind Baby just breathe There's nowhere else tonight we should be We Should be You wanna make a memory You wanna steal a piece of time You can sing the melody to me And I can write a couple of lines You wanna make a memory?

"Lancelot had Guinevere
Mrs. Claus has old St. Nick Romeo had Juliet And Liz, well, she has her Dick." ~ from Hairspray the Musical :D (Just got the movie soundtrack , it's decent.) |
since I just watched the MLB All-Star Game, this is for Ichiro:
"The future is a face of ignorance, I'll keep making it myself." Maybe that's what you think It's just that on a kind of loud morning, I lost my voice But I remember your brightly shining eyes If I were to meet them again, it would not make me happy So this is the me of a feeble today And yet I hate this "Answers are infinite, I'll keep making them myself." Dying leaves are, as usual, protecting the ground Kicking, walking over that kind of earth is how I search for my voice Each time I remember your decision to stand in solitude I shake, enduring the tears But this is the me of an inept today Tomorrow, I want our hearts to face each other in the flame that burns you As if when we met was something I could be proud of The you inside the TV is my superstar 「未来は不知顔(しらんかお)さ、自分で造っていく。」 多分あなたはそう云うと判っているのに ほんのちょっとざわめいた朝に声を無くすの 私はあなたの強く光る眼(まなこ)思い出すけれど もしも逢えたとして喜べないよ か弱い今日の私では これでは未だ厭(いや)だ 「答えは無限大さ、自分で造っていく。」 枯れ行く葉が相変わらず地面を護(まも)っている そんな大地蹴って歩いては声を探すの 私はあなたの孤独に立つ意思を思い出す度に 泪を堪えて震えているよ 拙い今日の私でも 明日はあなたを燃やす炎に向き合うこゝろが欲しいよ もしも逢えたときは誇れる様に テレビのなかのあなた 私のスーパースター |
It's the winning side
And everybody's cheering for the winning side And the children leave their homes to join the winning side And when Jesus comes He'll march on with the winning side And we've got all the right answers on the winning side And the guiding light Whether wrong or right And we have no fear No we have no fear Waiting for the sign We will give our lives We will give our lives And I feel so isolated It's so lonely here at night I could almost feel you near me I imagine that you're with me On the winning side We don't ask too many questions on the winning side And I've got this strange sensation on the winning side I don't recognize the faces of the winning side And we all live here in cages . . . Someone cried last night And it made a sound With my eyes closed tight I hear everything I can hear your voice When I kiss the ground When I kiss the ground And I'd like to know you better And I'd like to know your name I could really show you something If you give me half a chance 'Cuz I'm on the winning side (Winning side) In the sleepless night When the blindness comes Washing over me Like a giant wave On a sandless beach Washing over me I am proud to be . . . And I'd like to take you somewhere That you've never been before And I feel so isolated And I feel so all alone Here on the winning side (And I feel so all alone) |
Makin' a living the old hard way
Takin' and giving by day by day I dig snow and rain and bright sunshine Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) My dog Sam eats purple flowers We ain't got much but what we got's ours We dig snow and rain and bright sunshine Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) I feel fine I'm talkin' bout peace of mind I'm gonna take my time I'm gettin' the good sign Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) Loving the free and feelin' spirit Of huggin' a tree when you get near it Diggin' the snow and rain and bright sunshine Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) I feel fine I'm talkin' bout peace of mind I'm gonna take my time I'm gettin' the good sign Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) Draggin' the line (draggin' the line) Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)..... --Tommy James & the Shondells |
If she wants to dance and drink all night then there’s no one that can stop her. She’s going until the house lights come up or her stomach spills onto the floor. This night is going to end when we’re damn well ready for it to be over. Worked all week long now the music is playing on our time. We do what we do to get by, and then we need a release
You get mixed up with the wrong guys. You get messed up on the wrong drugs. Sometimes the party takes you places that you didn’t really plan on going. When people see the track marks on her arms she knows what they’re thinking. She keeps on working for that minimum, as if a high school eductaion offered any other options. They don’t know nothing about redemption. They don’t know nothing about recovery. Some people just aint the type for marriage and family. No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie. No mother ever dreams that her daugherrs going to grow up to sleep alone. She’s out of step with the style. She don’t know where the actions happening. You know the downtown club scene aint nothing like it used to be. You reach a point where there’s not a lie in the world that you could use to make the boys believe your still in you twenties. She’s not waitng for them to come over and ask for the privledge. She can still here that Rebel Yell just as loud as it was in 1983. There aint no Johnny coming home to share a bed with her and she doesn’t care. No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to be a junkie. No mother ever dreams that her daughters going to grow up to sleep alone. If she had to live it all over again you know she wouldn’t change anything for the world. |
{to go along with the plastic Jesus theme....}
Wooden Jesus where are you from Korea or Canada or maybe Taiwan I didn't know it was the Holy Land But I believed from the minute The check left my hand, and I pray Can I be saved, I spent all my money On a future grave Wooden Jesus I'll cut you in On twenty percent of my future sin Porcelain Mary her majesties pure Looking for virgin territory Coat hanger halos don't come cheap From television shepherds with living room Sheep, and I pray Can I be saved, I spent all my money On a future grave Wooden Jesus I'll cut you in On twenty percent of my future sin ******************* Artist: Temple of the Dog Song: Wooden Jesus Album: Temple of the Dog |
What a great Thread! :snap: And while I have no business being online this early, I'm still gonna post real quick. With only snippets of my favorite lyrics.
I honestly did not like this song the first few times I heard it, until I listened to the lyrics. Now I'm in love with it & I spin it in my car all the time.. Umbrella ~Rihanna When the sun shines We'll shine together Told you I'll be here forever Said I'll always be your friend Took an oath I'mma stick it out 'till the end Now that it's raining more than ever Know that we still have each other You can stand under my Umbrella.. |
I remember when I remember, I remember when I lost my mind There was something so pleasant about that phase Even your emotions had an echo And so much space Hmm mmmm And when you're out there Without care Yeah I was out of touch But it wasn't because I didn't know enough I just knew too much Mmm Does that make me crazy? Probably |
Favorite... wow.. there are so many.
We'll just pick some ;) ** The one rule of life, we cannot rearrange, the only thing constant is change, The only thing constant is Change. ** What is there to say, All the mistakes we made, must be faced today, ' its not easy now, knowing where to start, while the world we love, tears itself apart" ** Because reason says I should die, three years ago. ** How would you like Living with me? It feels good right here So that's where we should be So would you like? ** I've thrown coins in the fountain I've been to the mountain I've lived through the violence I've seen what man can do to man I can't promise you peace I can't promise you money But I promise to make you the best man I can Hold on to something Cause your life's about to begin ** |
I love this song & always have. I remember when I bought this CD (her solo debut) when I was 18 yrs. old. I just found it at Borders the other day for $9.99. I've been playing it ever since.
(*On a side note* Where are all of my CD's disappearing? Why must I keep replacing them?? I mean, some stuff no thief would touch. Yet, my Gwar gag gift CD (thank you, Honey) will follow me into my grave, which, you know, I hope, is like, forever from now.) My Side Of The Bed~ Susanna Hoffs I want to show you the picture I drew When I was on the phone talking to you I made a heart and I colored it red 'Cause I want you here On my side of the bed. I've been dreaming since I was born And in my dreams I see eyes like yours I'll be the pillow where you lay your head If you'll come and sleep On my side of the bed. Lay down The sheets are white like the moon, my love Dream with me in my room Lay down. I know you hurt, I feel the pain Take my hand and come out of the rain We all need to be comforted You can get yours On my side of the bed. Lay down on my side of the bed Come lay down. |
My favorite of the week:
He goes 40 on the freeway He plans his day 'round eBay He'd rather watch Discovery Channel than an instant replay Steve Jobs is his swami He folds like origami I want to bite his pencil neck and make him cry for mommy Just four little eyes and I'm weak in the knees I want to live his junior high fantasies Just one giant brain and I'm his unopened toy I'm just a sucker for a nerdy boy He thinks DNA is pretty CGI makes him giddy He'll only listen to the mono version of Surf City He smells like Hai Karate Says Mulder wasn't dotty I want to rip the clothes right off his ectomorphic body Just four little eyes and I'm weak in the knees I want to live his junior high fantasies Just one giant brain and I'm his unopened toy I'm just a sucker for a nerdy boy His high water pants The way he can't dance If he wants romance I say beam me up You're suave and attaching, Your socks are always matching If you want me, better hope myopia is catching 'Cause I don't want an athlete I tingle for a mathlete He can count on me to give his head the loving that it needs Just four little eyes and I'm weak in the knees I want to live his junior high fantasies Just one giant brain I'm his collectable toy I am a sucker for a nerdy boy For a nerdy boy I want a nerdy boy A dirty nerdy boy (spoken) Why don't you take off those tighty-whities? No, I don't think your butt looks pasty. It reminds me of the sands of Tattooine These sheets are very unusual -- is any part of you bionic? Ooh! Oh! (pant) (pant) (pant) (pant) (cough) (cough) I think I need to borrow your inhaler! |
Oh, join up with me,
So joyous and free, And away to old Sherwood, hie ! For I'm Robin Hood, And I'm very good, At avoiding the Sheriff's eye. So, we'll trip along merrily O'er the green swards so gracefully To trip and trip and trip and trip and trip it up and down To trip and trip and trip and trip and---whoa, whoops, trip it....[etc.] [Big splash] Sooo, triiip it uuuup, Aaaaaand doooown......!!! :D |

The Firm Satisfaction Guaranteed Mystery surrounds me, and I wonder where I'm going There's a cloud above me and it seems to hide the way I'm going straight ahead, 'cos it's the only way I know I wanna leave the past, and live just for today Now then tell me baby, do you need my love? Tell me baby, are you thinking of me? Tell me baby, what it is you need? What kind of satisfaction guaranteed? Sitting in the gutter with my head wrapped in my hands I've been drinking all night, and I just can't stand the pain It took an awful lot of trouble just to make me understand Now it's clear to me, but will it ever be the same? Now then tell me baby, do you need my love? Tell me baby, are you thinking of me? Tell me baby, what it is you need? What kind of satisfaction guaranteed? Now then tell me baby, do you need my love? Tell me baby, are you thinking of me? Tell me baby, what it is you need? What kind of satisfaction guaranteed? Head upon the highway, just as fast as I could go I rode through the night, and halfway through the day I had no direction I didn't even want to know where I was going The only thing I knew, was that I had to get away Now then tell me baby, do you need my love? Tell me baby, are you thinking of me? Tell me baby, what it is you need? What kind of satisfaction guaranteed? Tell me baby... Tell me baby... Tell me baby, do you need my love? Now that I'm here, yeah... Do you need...Do you need my love? |
