Pulp - Something Changed

I wrote the song two hours before we met
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed
I could have gone to see a film instead
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends
Life could have been very different then
But something changed

Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today
Something changed

When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing
That in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead
I dunno but like you said
Something changed.

"I walked out this morning, and I wrote down this song. I just can't remember who to send it to."

-James Taylor "Fire and Rain"

This Song by George Harrison

This song has nothing tricky about it
This song ain't black or white and as far as I know
Don't infringe on anyone's copyright, so . . .

This song we'll let be
This song is in E
This song is for you and . . .

This tune has nothing Bright about it
This tune ain't bad or good and come ever what may
My expert tells me it's okay

As this song came to me
Quite unknowingly
This song could be you could be . . .

This riff ain't trying to win gold medals
This riff ain't hip or square
Well done or rare
May end up one more weight to bear

But this song could well be
A reason to see - that
Without you there's no point to . . . this song

(found the lyrics on a site, so hopefully they're all accurate.. I haven't heard it enough yet to know it that well)

I Bet You They Won't Play This Song on the Radio - Monty Python

I know the name on the tip of your tongue
And I know that accusing look
Everybody knows I've been so wrong
That's the problem and here's the hook:

Tears before bedtime...


-Elvis Costello

I've never been lucky
At picking up women
But this life that I live
Is not one that I choose
She was a waitress
With hair blond and curly
With a pretty black dress
And those Japanese shoes

Man I need to impress her
'Cause I'd like to undress her
I need a song about Sonja
When I'm singing tonight

She looked so pretty
As she poured my coffee
But she had her eye
On my freind at the bar
And I watched her watch him
And I watched her thinking
I wish her eye was on me

Man I need to impress her
'Cause I'd like to undress her
I need a song about Sonja
When I'm singing tonight

And if I could sing her
A tender love ballad
I'd hope that the audience might sing along
But I can't find the right way
To tell her my feelings
And still make the words rhyme with Sonja

No I've never been lucky
At picking up women
But this life that I live
Is not one that I choose
She was a waitress
Now she's gone forever
And I'm stuck with this song
That I never will use

Man you need to impress her
If you want to undress her
Sing a song about Sonja
When you're singing tonight
Sing a song about Sonja
When you're singing tonight


- Lyle Lovett, "Sonja"

This is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends...

"This could be my last song, everything must end some day." -- Gary Numan I Still Remember

"Whatever happens, if we're still speaking,
pick up the phone, play me this song..."

Radiohead, "A Reminder"

Postal Service - Such Great Heights:

when you are out there on the road
for several weeks of shows
and when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home


and then later in the song:

I tried my best to leave
this all on your machine
but the persistent beat it sounded thin
upon 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

"You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you"
--Carly Simon

This line has always irked me.
The song IS about him!!!

Seem like that guy singin' this song
Been doing it for a long time

This is the song that never ends.
Yes it goes on and on my friends.
Someone started singing it not knowing what it was,
and they'll continue singing it forever just because, ...

The Last Song
Edward Bear


Did you know I go to sleep and
Leave the lights on
Hoping you'd come by and know
That I was home and still awake
But two years go by and still
My light's on
This is hard for me to say
But it is all that I can take

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last time that I'll tell you
Just how much I really care
This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
You'll come looking for the light
And it won't be there
But I love you
Oh yes I do
Yes I do

All the times that I spent waiting
Wondering where you are
Always knew the time would come
When I would start to wonder why
Now the time is here
I don't know where you are
So I'll write you one more song
But it's the last time that I'll ever try

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last time that I'll tell you
Just how much I really care
This is the last song I'll ever sing for you
You'll come looking for the light
And it won't be there
But I love you
Oh yes I do
Yes I do

It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you
It's the last song I'll ever write for you

This is just a modern rock song
This is just a sorry lament
We're four boys in our corduroys
We're not terrific but we're competent

"This Is Just A Modern Rock Song"
- Belle and Sebastian
