Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Have you been stunned by the lyric of a song? :heart: I'll start with my favorite Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John - Norah
What a waste, I could've been your lover What a waste, I could've been your friend Perfect love is like a blossom that fades so quick When it's blowing up a storm in May Travel south until your skin turns warmer Travel south until your skin turns brown Put a language in your head and get on a train And then come back to the one you love Yeah you're great, you're just part, of this lifetime of dreaming That extends to the heart of this long summer feeling Quiet night, you see the TVs glowing Quiet night, you hear the walls are awake Me and you are getting out of the party crowd Can I see what's underneath your bed? Can I stay until the milkman's working? Can I stay until the café awakes? Do you hate me in the light? Did you get a fright When you looked across from where you lay? Yeah you're great, you're just part, of this lifetime of dreaming That extends to the heart of this long summer feeling All the history of boys I invent in my head Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John All the history of boys I invent in my head Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John What a waste, I could've been your lover What a waste, I could've been your friend |

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
I've always loved the way that "Brighton Rock" by Queen flows poetically.
Happy little day Jimmy went away Met his little Jenny on a public holiday A happy pair they made So decorously laid 'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air I'll weave my spell "Jenny will you stay? Tarry with me, pray Nothing e'er need come between us. Tell me love, what do you say?" "Oh no, I must away To my mum in disarray If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air I'll say farewell" O Rock of Ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still Oh Lady Moon, shine down a little people magic if you will Jenny pines away Writes a letter every day "We must ever be together, nothing can my love erase" "Oh no, I'm compromised I must apologize If my lady should discover how I spent my holidays..." |

Teach Me How to Be Loved - Rebbeca
One foot onto the ice I hold my breath And try to believe Can I look at you with different eyes? Like the girl that I was, when I was 17 The fallen empires, The shattered glass The wicked echos of my past. I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking. Will you still be here tomorrow Or will you leave in the dead of the night? So your waves don't crash around me, I'm staying one step ahead of the tide. Will you leave me lost in my shadows Or will you pull me into your light? Teach me how to be loved Teach me how to be loved I got caught up in a daze Of the wine and roses Such a sweet escape But I watched it all slip away Like running water from my hands Raining on this picture land The fallen empires, The shattered glass The wicked echos of my past. I've seen it all before, that's why I'm asking. Will you still be here tomorrow Or will you leave in the dead of the night? So your waves don't crash around me, I'm staying one step ahead of the tide. Will you leave me lost in my shadows Or will you pull me into your light? Teach me how to be loved Can I give myself just one more second chance? And put my trust in love, Please don't hurt me. If I make myself like a feather in you hand And put my trust in love, Please don't hurt me. Will you still be here tomorrow Or will you leave in the dead of the night? So your waves don't crash around me, I'm staying one step ahead of the tide. Will you leave me lost in my shadows Or will you pull me into your light? Teach me how to be loved Teach me how to be loved |

Creep - Radiohead
I also luv the jazz version covered by Karen Souza! When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world And I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. She's running out again, She's running out She's run run run running out... Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so fuckin' special I wish I was special... But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo, What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here. I don't belong here. |

The Wound That Never Heals.........Jim White
Long about an hour before sunrise she drags his body down to the edge of the swollen river wrapped in a red velvet curtain stolen from the movie theater where she works. Quiet as a whisper, under the stanchions of a washed-out bridge she cuts him loose...and watches as the flood waters spin him around once, then carry him away. Then she removes the golden ring upon her finger...and she throws it in. And I wonder; Baby why don't you cry? Baby why don't you... Baby why don't you cry? Three days later in a bar in southern Mississippi she meets a man by the name of Charles Lee. She introduces herself to him as "Lee Charles" "What a coincidence." he says...and one week later they are married. He wakes up one night six months down the line to find her staring at him in the oddest way. When he says, "Honey, what's wrong?" she says, "Oh nothing dear...except that tears are a stupid trick of God." And by the time they find his body six weeks later... Well hell, she's a thousand miles away. And I wonder; Baby why don't you cry? Baby why don't you... Baby why don't you cry? She runs from devils. She runs from angels. She runs from the ghost of her father and five different uncles. Blinded by their memory, seared by their pain, she'd like to kill 'em all...then kill 'em all again. She don't think much about what she's done or the funny feelings that she feels. No, she don't. To her it's just a condition she picked up as a child... a little thing she calls, "the wound that never heals", she calls it, "the wound that never heals" And I wonder; Baby why don't you cry? Baby why don't you... Baby why don't you cry? |

Far From Any Road.....The Handsome Family
From the dusty mesa her looming shadow grows Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun, And when I touched her skin, my fingers ran with blood. In the hushing dusk, under a swollen silver moon, I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom. A strange hunger haunted me; the looming shadows danced. I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand. When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold, Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones. And rise with me forever across the silent sand, And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands. |

How To Fight Loneliness - Wilco
The first time I heard this song was from the movie Girl, Interrupted. How to fight loneliness Smile all the time Shine you teeth til meaningless Sharpen them with lies And whatevers going down Will follow you around Thats how you fight loneliness You laugh at every joke Drag your blanket blindly Fill your heart with smoke And the first thing that you want Will be the last thing you ever need Thats how you fight it Just smile all the time Just smile all the time Just smile all the time Just smile all the time |

Reality - Richard Sanderson
The world is big but I met you; The time is so long but I never saw you again. I still long for seeing you face. Really miss you. Met you by surprise, I didn't realize That my life would change forever Saw you standing there, I didn't know I cared There was something special in the air. Dreams are my reality The only kind of real fantasy Illusions are a common thing I try to live in dreams It seems as if it's meant to be. Dreams are my reality A different kind of reality I dream of loving in the night And loving seems alright Although it's only fantasy. If you do exist, honey don't resist Show me a new way of loving Tell me that it's true Show me what to do I feel something special about you. Dreams are my reality The only kind of reality Maybe my foolishness has past And maybe now at last I'll see how a real thing can be. Dreams are my reality A wonderous world where I like to be I dream of holding you all night And holding you seems right Perhaps that's my reality. Met you by surprise, I didn't realize That my life would change forever Tell me that it's true Feelings that are cue I feel something special about you. Dreams are my reality A wonderous world where I like to be Illusions are a common thing I try to live in dreams Although it's only fantasy. Dreams are my reality I like to dream of you close to me I dream of loving in the night And loving you seems right Perhaps that's my reality. |
Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
"Sometimes" by James
There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder" Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul There's four new colors in the rainbow An old man's taking Polaroids But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his And I swear I can hear the sea Sometimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul (I can touch your soul ) (I can reach your soul) Sometimes |

TANGLEWOOD TREE by Dave Carter
love is a tanglewood tree in a bower of green in a forest at dawn fair while the mockingbird sings, but she soon lifts her wings and the music is gone young lovers in the tall grass with their hearts open wide when the red summer poppies bloom but love is a trackless domain and the rumor of rain in the late afternoon love is an old root that creeps through the meadows of sleep when the long shadows cast thin as a vagrant young vine, it encircles and twines and it holds the heart fast catches dreamers in the wildwood with the stars in their eyes and the moon in their tousled hair but love is a light in the sky, and an unspoken lie and a half-whispered prayer i'm walkin down a bone-dry river where the cool mirage runs true i'm bankin on the fables of the far, far better things we do i'm livin for the day of reck'nin countin down the hours i yearn away, i burn away, i turn away the fairest flower of love, 'cause darlin love is a garden of thorns, and a crow in the corn and the brake growing wild cold when the summer is spent in the jade heart's lament for the faith of a child my body has a number and my face has a name and each day looks the same to me but love is a voice on the wind, and the wages of sin and a tanglewood tree love's garden of thorns, how it grows black crow in the corn hummin low brake nettle so pretty and wild and thistles surround the edge of the dim dark hour as the sun moves away lamenting a lost summer day who nurtures the faith of a child when nothing remains to cover her eyes my body has a number, maybe my face has a name each hour like each hour before this longing is a voice on the wind she cultivates the wages of sin in a tanglewood tree |

SEE HOW WE ARE...John Doe/Exene Cervenka
There are men lost in jail Crowded fifty to a room There's too many rats in this cage of the world And the women know their place They sit home and write letters And when they visit once a year Well they both just sit there and stare See how we are Gotta keep bars in between us See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Now there are seven kinds of Coke 500 kinds of cigarettes This freedom of choice in the USA drives everybody crazy But in Acapulco Well they don't give a damn About kids selling Chiclets with no shoes on their feet See how we are "Hey man, what's in it for me?" See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Now that highway's coming through So you all gotta move This bottom rung ain't no fun at all No fires and rockhouses and grape-flavored rat poison They are the new trinity For this so-called community See how we are Gotta keep bars on all of our windows See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Well this morning the alarm rang at noon And I'm trying to write this letter to you About how much I care and why I just can't be there To draw your bath and comb...and comb your hair Last night in a nightspot Where things aren't so hot My friend said, "I met a boy and I'm in love" I said, "Oh really... What's this one's name?" She said, "His first name is Homeboy" I said "Could his last name be Trouble?" See how we are Ah Homeboy... Isn't that a Mexican name? See how we are We only sing about it once in every twenty years See how we are Oh see how we are Yeah see how we are |

The Jam---Tales from the Riverbank:
"Tales From The Riverbank" Bring you a tale from the pastel fields Where we ran when we were young This is a tale from the water meadows Trying to spread some hope into your heart It's mixed with happiness, it's mixed with tears Both life and death are carried in this stream That open space you could run for miles Now you don't get so many to the pound True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to That I'll always run to Won't you join me by the riverbank Paradise found down by the still waters Joined in the race to the rainbow's end No fears, no worries just a golden country Woke at sunrise, went home at sunset Now life is so critical, life is too cynical We lose our innocence, we lose our very soul True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to That I'll always run to True it's a dream mixed with nostalgia But it's a dream that I'll always hang on to That I always run to Won't you join me by the riverbank Come on and join me by the riverbank |

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Blue eyes of fire
My sweet desire is bitter torture You are no father's daughter No man has that much to offer Skin dark as sin Soft and when we took cover From the rain and the thunder Beneath stained glass we did slumber Until the sun came out to blind us And we could not see anything We knew at once we were meant to be And we heard the gods all rise and sing The love we made was no lie Now with 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck Such a sad, sad thing I set you free Because I can't get you back You are fire, you are water When you dance it is torture Maybe some night by the grey light of the dull moon we can meet Tangled, intwined, we have climbed, we have wrangled Shiny, sequined, sparked, and spangled Our hearts iron cuffed and mangled We spent the night by the side of the water Passed the breakers and the markers We swam out to meet the darkness Until we could not feel the bottom Until we could not feel anything As the shoreline drifted slowly out of reach The moon shown down and the ocean heaved As darkness gave way to light And with 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck Such a sad, sad thing I set you free Because I can't get you back You are fire, you are water When you dance it is torture Maybe some day on the bottom of the ocean we can meet Though we know once we do, we can never leave For the moment that we turn away The gods will say that the love we made was a lie - Crooked Fingers, "You Can Never Leave" |
Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
One if my favorite Kiss songs of all time: A Million to One -
Baby, now that you've made up your mind I'm gonna let you go, if that's what it takes to show love is blind I gave you the best love you ever had, but it wasn't enough So if you think you're so smart, go and play with your heart When you walk out the door, you'll realize what you never did before A million to one - that's what it will be A million to one - there's someone better than me A million to one - no, you never will find A million to one - another love like mine Yeah, we chose our sides and I've been misunderstood But everytime I try to open your eyes, I'm damned and I'm no good Day after day, you're further away, I can't take anymore So it's time that you go, but I want you to know, I won't stand in your way Deep in my heart I know, girl you're runnin' away A million to one One of these days you'll come out of your haze, no matter what you do It'll be too late, something good won't wait, love is runnin' out on you A million to one, a million to one A million to one One of these days you'll come out of your haze, no matter what you do It'll be too late, something good won't wait, love is runnin' out on you A million to one, a million to one listen to your heart girl - a million to one - oh A million to one - no, you never will find A million to one - another love like mine A million to one [repeats out] |
