Quote:
Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove
Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose
Get a load of me,
Get a load of yu,
Walking down the street
And I hardly know you
It's just like we were meant to be
Holding hands with you,
When we're out at night,
Got a girlfriend
You say it isn't right,
And I've got someone waiting too.
The problem is, this is just the beginning
We're already wet and we're gonna go swimming
Chorus:
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
Its inevitable... it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me...
Why can't I breathe whenever i think about you
Isn't this the best part of breaking up
Finding someone else you can't get enough of
Someone who wants to be with you too
Its an itch we know we are gonna scratch
Gonna take a while for this egg to hatch
But wouldn't it be beautiful?
Here we go we are at the beginning
we haven't ****ed yet, but my head's spinning
Chorus:
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever I talk about you
It's inevitable, it's a fact that we're gonna get down to it
So tell me
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
I'd love for you to make me wonder
Where it's goin'
I'd love for you to pull me under
Somethin's growin'
For this that we can control
Baby I am dyin'
Why can't I breathe whenever I think about you
Why can't I speak whenever talk about you
Chorus
whenever i think about you (x4)
Won't Give In Lyrics - Finn brothers
You call me up and I'll say a few words
But I'll try not to speak too long
Please to be kind and I'll try to explain
I'll probably get it all wrong
What does it mean when you promise someone
That no matter how hard or whatever may come
It means that I won't give in, won't give in, won't give in
'Cause everyone I love is here
Take me home. Take me home
Once in a while I return to the fold
With people I call my own
Even if time is just a flicker of light
And we all have to die alone
What does it mean when you belong to someone
When you're born with a name, when you carry it on
It means that I won't give in, won't give in, won't give in
'Cause everyone I love is here
All at once, and I'll show you how to get here
Come on now, come on now, can you feel it, I can see it in ya
Come on now, come on now, reveal it, turn around won't ya
The right time, the right place, right now, turn around
A chance is made, a chance is lost, I carry myself to the edge of the earth
It means that I won't give in, won't give in, won't give in
'Cause everyone I love is here
Say it once, just say it, and disappear
Greenday - She (the title is about a woman, but there's more than that..just look at it ;) :D)one of my fav. songs....Into the Valley by Skid.... :thumb: :)Quote:
She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Wai-ting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
She...
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
Wa-king up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
YAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Quote:
Into the Valley
Betrothed and divine
Realisations no virtue
But who can define
Why soldiers go marching
Those masses a line
This disease is catching
From victory to stone
Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
Ahoy! Ahoy! Long may they die
Out of concealment
Blank and stark eyed
Why so uncertain
This culture deceives
Prophesised, brainwashed
Tomorrow's demise
All systems failing
The placards unroll
Ahoy! Ahoy! Land, sea and sky
Ahoy! Ahoy! Boy, man and soldier
Ahoy! Ahoy! Deceived and then punctured
Ahoy! Ahoy! Long may they die
Time for the audit
The gathering trial
A collectors dilemma
Repositioned and filed
I think this was sung by Queen, and one of the song in Ella Enchanted :D
Can anybody find me
Somebody to... LOVE
Each morning I wake and tired a little
Can't barely stand on feet
I look in the mirror and cry
Look what your doing to me
and I forgot the rest :D
All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go,
I'm standing here,
Outside your door,
I hate to wake you up,
to say goodbye....
...
So kiss me and smile for me
tell me you'll wait for me,
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leaving on a Jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go...
A really touchy one...
I don't think there was ever written a greater song than John Lennon's Imagine:
Quote:
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
Ozzy Osbourne's I Just Want You
Quote:
There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinable wars
There are no unrightable wrongs
Or unsignable songs
There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable gods
There are no unnameable names
Shall I say it again, yeah
There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through
I don’t ask much
I just want you...
There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or
Forgivable sins
There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it’s true,
I don’t ask much
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you
I’m sick and tired of bein’ sick and tired
I used to go to bed so high and wired, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah
I think I’ll buy myself some plastic water
I guess I should have married lennon’s daughter, yeah - yeah, yeah, yeah
There are no unachievable goals
There are no unsaveable souls
No legitimate kings or queens, do
You know what I mean? yeah
There are no indisputable truths
And there ain’t no fountain of youth
Each night when the day is through,
I don’t ask much
I just want you

One song that comes to my mind is Bob Seger's Turn the Page
A very good interpretation/dissection of this song is here for those interested.
Turn the page
One more that's very touching.. Cats in the cradle - Cat Stevens to be covered later by Ugly Kid Joe..
Another one of my favorites, Working Man , written by Rush .. Guess lots here can associate with this one:Quote:
A child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planed to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talking before I knew It
And as he grew
He said, "Im gonna be like you, Dad you know Im gonna be like
you"
(chorus)
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin home son I dont know when, We'll get together
then
You know we'll have a good time then.
My son turned ten just the other day
He said "thanks for the ball dad, come on lets play
can you teach me to throw?"
I said "Not today, Ive got alot to do"
He said "Thats okay"
He walked away and he smiled and he said
"you know Im gonna be like you, dad
you know Im gonna be like you......"
(chorus)
He came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son Im proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What Im feeling like dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
(chorus)
Ive long since retired, my son has moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said "Id like to see you if you dont mind"
He said "Id love to dad If I could find the time.
You see my new jobs a hassle, and the kids have the flu.
But Its sure nice talking to you, dad, Its been sure nice
talking to you........"
And as he hung up the phone It had occured to me
He'd grown up just like me, my boy, was just like
me..............
(chorus)
Quote:
I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin’
Yes, I’m workin’ all the time
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man
They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what I am
I get home at five o’clock
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer
Always seem to be wond’rin’
Why there’s nothin’ goin’ down here
It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man
They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what I am
Well they call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what I am
Cats in the Cradle is one of my all time favorite songs. My neighbor was really good friends with Harry Chapin, who was the guy that wrote the song, they went to college together. Sadly Chapin died in an accident in 1981.
And I also love Rush, alot of my friends make fun of me for it, don't know why, they are amazing.
Beautiful song by a great band.Quote:

Yea, I was wondering who wrote the song and my friends dad said that it was Harry Chapin, I was listening to it in the car and my neighbor came to talk to me and he was like "Wow, how the heck do you know that song?" I was like "I love this song" and he was telling me about when they went to college together and how that when he died he went to the funeral and all that stuff. They went to Cornell Universtity which is very close to my house.Quote:

yeah...Cats in the Craddle is a great song!...
from the Ramones - My back Pages:
Quote:
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
I wanted to quote Metallica - Am I Evil, but some might find it offensive:p
Here's one of my favourite songs of all time
Code:I Don't Want A Lover
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
You can't just leave me
To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come
Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try
The more I seem to lose
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong
But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before
Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you need me then
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
You don't even care
About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing
All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me
I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love
I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared
Now that I know it wasn't love
Song info :
In 1989 "I Don't Want A Lover" was the first single ever released by Texas and the first song Johhny McElhone and Sharleen Spiteri ever wrote together. Produced by Tim Palmer.
Available on the Southside album and Greatest Hits album and on 7" single, 12" and CD single. It reached the 8th place in the UK charts in Februari 1989.
A remix was released in 2001 as a single. This version didn't do very well in the UK Charts, only two weeks and place 16 as the highest score
This is one of the sadest songs ever, End of the World, Vonda Shephard (but probably a cover):
This is one of my favorites too: Meat Loaf's I would do anything for loveQuote:
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more?
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why ev'rything's the same as it was.
I can't understand, no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.
Quote:
And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
- Oh no - no way - And I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, No I won't do that,
And some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all,
And these are the days that never end.
And some nights you breathing fire,
And some nights your carved in ice,
Some nights your like nothing I've ever seen before, or will
again.
And maybe I?m crazy, Oh it's crazy and it's true,
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you.
As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning,
As long as your dreams are coming true - You better believe it!
-
That I would do anything for love!
Oh I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, no I won't do that...
I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do that...
I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of,
But I just won't do...
And some days I pray for Silence,
And some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N'
Roll.
And Maybe I'm lonely, that's all I'm qualified to be,
There's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep.
As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true - You better believe it!
That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and that's a fact,
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back -
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long - So long - And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, No, No. No, I won't do that!
Girl : Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
Meat Loaf : I can do that! Ooh
I can do that!
Girl : Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water - if I get too hot - hot?
Will you take me to places that I've never known?
Meat Loaf : I can do that! Ooh
I can do that!
Girl : I know the territory - I've been around,
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down,
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around.
Meat Loaf: I won?t do that!
No I won't do that!
Anything for love,
But I won't do that!
I love that too.. The vocals on that song does magic to those words taking it to that next level. Great song :thumb:Quote:

I'm far away from home

For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time
Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.
This has been my all time fav....

Song: Before I Fall in Love Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
My heart says we've got something real
Can I trust the way I feel
'Cause my heart's been fooled before
Am I just seeing what to see
Or is it true, could you really be
[CHORUS]
Something to have and hold
With my heart and soul
I need to know, before I fall in love
Someone who'll stay around
Through all my ups and downs
Please tell me now, before I fall in love
[VERSE 2]
I'm at the point of on relum
So afraid of getting bumed
But I want to take a change
Please, give me a reason to believe
Say, that you're the one, that you'll always be
[CHORUS 2]
It's been so hard for me to give my heart away
But I would give my everything ,
Just to hear you say (you're)
I like this one
Pink Floyd - Breathe
Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.
Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
Ohhh I love Pink Floyd, they just got inducted into the U.K. Hall Of Fame. :thumb:
This is one of my favorite Pink FLoyd songs, this and Echoes is a great song too.

Through the eyes of one I know

I had it all
Constantly it burdens me
Hard to trust and can’t believe
Lost the faith and lost the love
When the day is done
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
On and on we stand alone
Until our day has come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
I love the way I feel today
But how I know the sun will fade
Darker days seem to be
What will always live in me
But still I run
It’s hard to walk this path alone
Hard to know which way to go
Will I ever save this day
Will it ever change
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Still today we carry on
I know our day will come
When they open their eyes
And realize we are one
Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one
it’s hard to walk this path alone
hard to know which way to go
Will they open their eyes

Will they open their eyes
And realize we are one

Find The Real
Stuck in the middle I burrow inside
Back to the cradle
Away from the burdens of all my crimes
Before it’s fatal
My past has found me the truth’s come out
All is remembered
With no place to fall but straight down
I must surrender
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
There’s a face I put on all my life
The face of an angel
But I look in the mirror only to find
The face of a stranger
And with all I’ve taken I hunger for more
Cause I’m selfish
And all I’m left with is a crown of thorns
And I’m helpless
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
I’ll trade these lies for something right
I’ll kill what hurts with something pure
I will be redeemed so I can breathe again
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
Well it seems I’ve
Finally thought of everything
I wanna love
I wanna feel
Find peace
Find the real
Celine Dion - I'm Alive
When you call on me
When I hear you
Breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive
When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm
Alive
You've set my heart
On fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on
Clouds above
I couldn't get
Much higher
My spirit takes flight
'Cause I'm alive
When you call on me
When I hear you
Breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
When you reach
For me
Raising spirits high
God knows that
That I'll be the one
Standing by
Through good and
Trying times
And it's only begun
I can't wait for the
Rest of my life
When you call on me
When you reach
For me
I get wings to fly
I feel that
When you bless
The day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive
I get
Wings to fly
God knows that I'm
Alive
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind
I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time
I've seen the world fold to the dark side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do
I watched the world fold to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite
You call me strong
You call me weak
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head
If not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up, put you back on solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite
If I go crazy then will you still call me superman ¿
If I'm alive and well, will you be there holding my hand ¿
I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My kryptonite
I love 3 doors down... Here's one of my favs...(I have many):
Quote:
"Here Without You" - 3 Doors Down
A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me
The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl its only you and me

One of my favorites from him : Ring of Fire
Quote:
Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire
CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild
CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire
Hm.. well Metallica didn't change the lyrics, though , since this thread is about lyrics ;)Quote:

Anyways, here's an interesting analysis of Bob Seger's album version of Turn the page You might find it interesting :wave:

I hear Bob Seger being one of the greatest guys.. whose songs are repeatedly remixed .. like we have Kishore and Rafi in India.. :D .. I like his that song as well - Against the wind...
Oh.. let me cut it out.. I am just spitting crap... I am not making any sense to myself even.. :D
May be I am overstressed...I need a smoke - break ... :D Cheers...
Another one which became my favorite in one listen:

3 Libras
threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.
difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and
you don't see me.but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.
here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
and see you.
so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.
oh well. apparently nothing.
you don't see me.
you don't see me at all.
:lol:
'This Must be the Place (Naive Melody)'
Talking Heads
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
(So I) guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong . . nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight
Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home - -she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from the other
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be . . .
where I'll be
Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh
:)
'Attics of My Life'
Grateful Dead
In the attics of my life, full of cloudy dreams unreal
Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see
When there was no ear to hear, you sang to me
I have spent my life seeking all that’s still unsung
Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see
When there was no strings to play, you played to me
In the book of love’s own dream, where all the print is blood
Where all the pages are my days, and all the lights grow old
When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me, you flew to me
In the secret space of dreams, where I dreaming lay amazed
When the secrets all are told, and the petals all unfold
When there was no dream of mine, you dreamed of me
:cool:
And this is a MAJOR favorite of mine...
'What Are Their Names'
David Crosby
I wonder who they are,
the men who really run this land...
And I wonder why they run it,
with such a thoughtless hand...
Tell me what are their names,
and on what street do they live?
I'd like to ride right over,
this afternoon and give...
Them a piece of my mind,
about peace for mankind
Peace is not,
an awful lot,
to ask...
:wave:
Nice lyrics.. :thumb:Quote:

Song: Keep Your Hands to Yourself Lyrics
I got a little change in my pocket going jingle lingle ling
want to call you on the telephone baby I give you a ring
but each time we talk I get the same old thing
always no huggin no kissin until I get a wedding ring
my honey my baby don't put my love upon no shelf
she said don't give no lines and keep your hands to yourself
Cruel baby baby baby why you want to treat me this way
you know I'm still your lover boy I still feel the same way
that's when she told me a story 'bout free milk and a cow
and she said no huggin no kissin until I get a wedding vow
my honey my baby don't put my love upon no shelf
she said don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself
you see I wanted her real bad and I was about to give in
that's when she started talkin' true love started talkin' about sin
I said honey I'll live with you for the rest of my life
she said no huggin no kissin until you make me your wife
my honey my baby don't put my love on no shelf
she don't hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself.
Heres a great blues song. Some say that it is cursed because most people that cover it end up losing someone very important to them.
Crossroads by Robert Johnson(many people have covered this song like Eric Clapton)

// Signing-off.
An awesome song I listened on the radio on my morning drive to work.
"My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)" - Neil Young
Quote:
My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey.
Out of the blue
and into the black
They give you this,
but you pay for that
And once you're gone,
you can never come back
When you're out of the blue
and into the black.
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten
This is the story
of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out
than it is to rust
The king is gone
but he's not forgotten.
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Words and music by Ira Stanphill
I don't know about tomorrow,
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from it's sunshine,
For it's skies may turn to gray.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said,
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
Ev'ry step is getting brighter,
As the golden stairs I climb;
Ev'ry burden's getting lighter;
Ev'ry cloud is silver lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eyes,
At the ending of the rainbow,
Where the mountains touch the sky.
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
I don't know about tomorrow,
It may bring me poverty;
But the One Who feeds the sparrow,
Is the One Who stands by me.
And the path that be my portion,
May be through the flame or flood,
But His presence goes before me,
And I'm covered with His blood.
Many things about tomorrow,
I don't seem to understand;
But I know Who holds tomorrow,
And I know Who holds my hand.
A very touching song. I can sense the honesty in this song:

All at once am I several stories high
Knowing I'm on the street where you live
Are there lilac trees in the heart of town?
Can you hear a lark in any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where you live
And oh, the towering feeling just to know somehow you are near
The overpowering feeling that any second you might suddenly appear
People stop and stare, they don't bother me
For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be
Let the world go by, I won't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live
Sheer magic... :thumb:Quote:
They said one day you'll find,
All who love are blind.
When your heart's on fire,
You must realize,
Smoke gets in your eyes.
