Favourite Song Lyrics - Page 11

I'll make a note that I've already made a mix CD with some of these songs on it... Hehe.. I'll have to track down the order on the list and share it....

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.

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

mastermouse gonna feel no fear
mickey's gonna lead us to the new frontier
everybody wants to be the perfect mouseketeer
and there's stukas over disneyland
stukas over disneyland
stukas over disneyland
stukas over disneyland
jiminy cricket wrote a victory speech
with nottsberry farm right in reach
our liebestraum has been extended to huntington beach
turn on the gas and you're gonna see
how to achieve racial harmony
we need a perfect order that's our genetic destiny
got an ss ticket i'm feeling fine
spent five long hours just standing in line
passed inspection got my ears on straight
gonna fire up my engines 'fore it gets too late
i just can't wait

The Dickies - Stukas over Disneyland

Okay, laugh away, but the lyrics to this song are my absolute favorite and have gotten me through some rough patches.

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

God money I’ll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to.
God money nail me up against the wall.
God money don’t want everything he wants it all.

No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.

God money’s not looking for the cure.
God money’s not concerned with the sick among the pure.
God money let’s go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God money’s not one to choose
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take it
No you can’t take that away from me

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.

Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.
Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I’d rather die than give you control.

Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You’re going to get what you deserve.

You know who you are.

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.

Livin' On The Edge Of Houston - The Reverend Horton Heat

Yeah, it's cool that you live in a shack
And it's cool that you're hooked on smack
Yeah, you used to be in a band
You're the coolest guy to all your fans

Now you're livin' on the edge your livin'
On the edge you're livin',
Livin' on the edge of Houston

Yeah, it's cool everybody knows
That you're in and out of jail
You're a tortured artistic soul
But your daddy always pays your bail

Now you're livin' on the edge your livin'
On the edge you're livin',
Livin' on the edge of Houston

Yeah, you can't afford a car
All your friends like your real nice life
And it's cool everybody knows
That you're sneaking into all the shows

Now you're livin' on the edge your livin'
On the edge you're livin',
Livin' on the edge of Houston
Livin' on the edge of Houston!
Livin' on the edge of Houston!

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...
