All the words you could not sing
I'll sing them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two
For every single memory
Has becoome a part of me
You will always be ... my love


George Michael - Jesus to a child

Bruce Springsteen is one of my favourite song writers along with Noel Gallagher.

One of my all time favourite lines from a song is

“Is a Dream a Lie If It Don't Come True, Or Is It Something Worse ...

Pretty much anything by Meatloaf, I love the guy and his videos are awesome.

Whwn you cry I'll be there, I'll sing to you and comb your hair, all your troubles I will share- Everything But The Girl, Apron Strings

"Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, Ive been afraid of changing
cause Ive built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
Im getting older too"

Describes this last year perfectly for me.

There are so many songs with lyrics that touch me, like these:

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved


She Will be Loved - Maroon 5.

''if I was in your blood, you wouldnt be so ugly''

from Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy, Kid Creole

They never seem to have this Zappa track at the Karoke Bar, however........

Whoever we are, wherever we're from, we shoulda noticed by now our behaviour is dumb
And if our chances expect to improve it's gonna take a lot more than tryin' to remove the other race or the other whatever from the face of the planet altogether
They call it "The Earth" which is a dumb kinda name but they named it right 'cause we behave the same
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over, yes we are, dumb all over, near and far, dumb all over, black 'n white, people, we is not wrapped tight
And nerds on the left, nerds on the right
Religious fanatics on the air every night, sayin' the bible tells the story and makes the details sound real gory about what to do if the geeks over there don't believe in the book we got over here
You can't run a race without no feet
And pretty soon there won't be no street for dummies to jog on or doggies to dog on
Religious fanatics can make it be all gone
I mean it won't blow up and disappear, it'll just look ugly for a thousand years
You can't run a country by a book of religion
Not by a heap or a lump or a smidgeon of foolish rules of ancient date, designed to make you all feel great while you fold, spindle and mutilate those unbelievers from a neighbouring state
To arms, to arms
Hooray! That's great, two legs ain't bad
Unless there's a crate they ship the parts to mama in
For souvenirs: two ears (Get down)
Not his, not hers but what the hey
The good book says, "It's gotta be that way"
But their book says, "Revenge the crusades"
With whips 'n chains and hand grenades
Two arms, two arms
Have another and another
Our Cod says, "There ain't no other"
Our Cod says, "It's all ok"
Our god says "This is the way"
It says in the book, "Burn and destroy"
And repent and redeem and revenge and deploy and rumble thee forth to the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
'Cause they don't go for what's in the book and that makes 'em bad
So verily we must choppeth them up and stompeth them down
Or rent a nice French bomb to poof them out of existence while leaving their real estate just where we need it to use again for temples in which to praise our god, 'cause he can really take care of business
And when his humble TV servant with humble white hair and humble glasses and a nice brown suit and maybe a blonde wife who takes phone calls, tells us our god says it's ok to do this stuff, then we gotta do it
'Cause if we don't do it we ain't "Gwine up to hebbin"
Depending on which book you're using at the time
Can't use theirs, it don't work, it's all lies, gotta use mine
Ain't that right?
That's what they say
Every night, everyday
Hey, we can't really be dumb if we're just following god's orders
Well let's get serious, god knows what he's doin'
He wrote this book here and the book says, "He made us all to be just like him"
So, if we're dumb, then god is dumb and maybe even a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side

Anything by Dylan, this is one of my favourites


Come baby, find me, come baby, remind me of where I once begun.
Come baby, show me, show me you know me, tell me you're the one.
I could be learning, you could be yearning to see behind closed doors.
But I will always be emotionally yours.

Come baby, rock me, come baby, lock me into the shadows of your heart.
Come baby, teach me, come baby, reach me, let the music start.
I could be dreaming but I keep believing you're the one I'm livin' for.
And I will always be emotionally yours.

It's like my whole life never happened,
When I see you, it's as if I never had a thought.
I know this dream, it might be crazy,
But it's the only one I've got.

Come baby, shake me, come baby, take me, I would be satisfied.
Come baby, hold me, come baby, help me, my arms are open wide.
I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling, even to foreign shores.
But I will always be emotionally yours.

Oh what do we care...

The End ~ The Doors

Anything by Billy Bragg, but Waiting For The Great Leap Forward is probably my favourite.


It may have been Camelot for Jack and Jacqueline
But on the Che Guevara highway filling up with gasoline
Fidel Castro's brother spies a rich lady who's crying
Over luxury's disappointment
So he walks over and he's trying
To sympathise with her but he thinks that he should warn her
That the Third World is just around the corner

In the Soviet Union a scientist is blinded
By the resumption of nuclear testing and he is reminded
That Dr Robert Oppenheimer's optimism fell
At the first hurdle

In the Cheese Pavilion and the only noise I hear
Is the sound of someone stacking chairs
And mopping up spilt beer
And someone asking questions and basking in the light
Of the fifteen fame filled minutes of the fanzine writer

Mixing Pop and Politics he asks me what the use is
I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses
While looking down the corridor
Out to where the van is waiting
I'm looking for the Great Leap Forwards

Jumble sales are organised and pamphlets have been posted
Even after closing time there's still parties to be hosted
You can be active with the activists
Or sleep in with the sleepers
While you're waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

One leap forward, two leaps back
Will politics get me the sack?

Here comes the future and you can't run from it
If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it

It's a mighty long way down rock 'n roll
From Top of the Pops to drawing the dole

If no one seems to understand
Start your own revolution and cut out the middleman

In a perfect world we'd all sing in tune
But this is reality so give me some room

So join the struggle while you may
The Revolution is just a T-shirt away
Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards

Aw We played that at our wedding

Step out the front door
like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again
Where? I dont know
Maria says shes dying through the door I hear her crying
Why? I dont know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said shed like to meet a boy who looks like elvis
She walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like shes walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house
Takes her clothes off
Says shes close to understanding jesus
She knows shes more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when shes nervous

Round here were carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here shes slipping through my hands

Sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mamas little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning

She says its only in my head
She says shhh I know its only in my head
But the girl on car in the parking lot says
man you should try to take a shot
Cant you see my walls are crumbling?
Then she looks up at the building and says shes thinking of jumping
She says shes tired of life she must be tired of something

Round here shes always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here were never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late
I cant see nothing, nothing round here
Catch me if Im falling

---Round Here, Counting Crows

Oh yes! Very cocky lyrics indeed.

I like...

quote:

A sickly solace fills the room, the bitter harvest of a dying bloom.

from the Lamia by Genesis (lyrics by Peter Gabriel).

I like a lot of Morrissey's lyrics and Bob Dylan - especially the songs from Blood on the Tracks - poetry!

She's Leaving Home...

Wednesday morning at five o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free.

She (We gave her most of our lives)
is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter that's lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to me.

She (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living alone
For so many years. Bye, bye

Friday morning at nine o'clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.

She (What did we do that was wrong)
is having (We didn't know it was wrong)
fun (Fun is the one thing that money can't buy)
Something inside that was always denied
For so many years. Bye, bye
She's leaving home. Bye, bye

see my sig

And i wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it

Chorus from 'On Grafton Street'

It's funny how my world goes round without you
You're the one thing I never thought
I could live without
I just found this smile to think about you
You're a Saturday night
Far from the madding crowd

I don't get this lyrics posting thing at all, but.........



Numa folha qualquer
Eu desenho um sol amarelo
E com cinco ou seis retas
É fácil fazer um castelo
Corro o lápis em torno da mão
E me dou uma luva
E se faço chover
Com dois riscos tenho um guarda chuva
Se um pinguinho de tinta
Cai num pedacinho azul do papel
Num instante imagino
Uma linda gaivota a voar no céu
Vai voando,
Contornando a imensa curva norte sul
Vou com ela viajando
Havaí, Pequim ou Istambul
Pinto um barco a vela,
Branco, navegando,
É tanto céu e mar num beijo azul
Entre as nuvens vem surgindo
Um lindo avião rosa e grená
Tudo em volta colorindo
Com suas luzes a piscar
Basta imaginar e ele está partindo,
Sereno, lindo,
E, se a gente quiser,
Ele vai pousar
Numa folha qualquer
Eu desenho um sol de partida
Com alguns bons amigos
Bebendo de bem com a vida
De uma América a outra
Consigo passar num segundo
Giro um simples compasso
E num círculo eu faço o mundo
Um menino caminha
E caminhando chega num muro
E ali logo em frente
A esperar pela gente o futuro está
E o futuro é uma astronave
Que tentamos pilotar
Não tem tempo nem piedade
Nem tem hora de chegar
Sem pedir licença
Muda nossa vida
E depois convida
A rir ou chorar
Nessa estrada não nos cabe
Conhecer ou ver o que virá
O fim dela ninguém sabe
Bem ao certo onde vai dar
Vamos todos numa linda passarela
De uma aquarela
Que um dia enfim
Descolorirá
Numa folha qualquer
Eu desenho um sol amarelo
(que descolorirá)
E com cinco ou seis retas
É fácil fazer um castelo
(que descolorirá)
Giro um simples compasso
E num círculo eu faço o mundo
(que descolorirá)
Corro o lápis em torno da mão
E me dou uma luva
(que descolorirá)

WOW! What fantastic lyrics Penny!!!!

They proper make me bawl every time...

Any design on a sheet I yellow the sun ..
And with five or six lines is easy to make a castle ..
Run the pencil around the hand and give me a glove ..
And if I make it rain with two risks have an umbrella ..

If a drop of ink pinguinho a blue piece of paper ..
In a moment imagine a beautiful seagull flying in the sky ..
Vai flying, bypassing the huge curve north and south ..

I travel with her to Hawaii, Beijing and Istanbul
Pinto a white sailboat sailing
both sea and sky is a blue kiss ...

Among the emerging cloud has a beautiful pink and airplane Grenå ..
Coloring everything around with their lights flashing ..
Just imagine and he is on, serene and beautiful
And if you want ...... He will land ..

I design all on a sheet from a ship ..
With some good friends, drinking of well with life
An America that I can pass another in a second ...
cute a simple bar and a circle I make the world ..

A boy walks on foot and arrived in the wall ..
and there just in front of people waiting for the future is ..
And the future is that we try to fly astronave ..

NãoNo time nor mercy, nor have time to come ..
Without asking permission changes our lives ..
and then invited to laugh or cry ..

On this road we must not see or know what will ..
The end of it nobody knows for sure where to go ..
Let us all in a beautiful bridge ..
a watercolor a day in order

Oooh! That doesn't sound in the least clunky je je

It doesn't make much sense translated because it's a kiddies song. Well, a sort of allegoric one...


On whatever scrap of paper I draw a yellow sun
With five or six lines it's easy to raise a castle
I run the pencil around my hand and get a glove for myself
And if I make it rain with two scribbles I have an umbrella
If a drop of paint falls on a blue bit of paper
In a moment I imagine a beautiful gull flying in the sky

It flies off, banking the huge North South curve
I'm travelling with it to Hawaii, Peking or Istanbul
I paint a white sailboat and navigate
It's both sea and sky in a blue kiss
From among the clouds a beautiful pink and green plane appears
Colouring in everything around it with its flashing lights
With just a little imagination it's taking off, serene and beautiful
And if we really want it to, it's going to land

On whatever scrap of paper I draw a departing ship
With some good friends cheering the happiness of life
I can cross from one America to the other in the blink of an eye
I spin a simple compass and draw the world in one circle
A boy is walking and walking he reaches the wall
And there ahead, waiting for us, is the future
And the future is a starship we try to pilot
Busy and merciless and without schedule
Without clearance it changes our lives
And then it invites us to smile or to cry

On this road it's not up to us to know or see what the future holds
No one knows for sure how it will turn out
Let's all go on a beautiful path
Of a watercolour that someday is finally
Going to fade away

Its like a really sad episode of Penny Crayon... she made the world of her drawings come to life to ... but never implyed death

oooooo then its like Puff the majic dragon

Lyrics to the best song ever:

If it makes you less sad
I will die by your hand
I hope you find out what you want
I already know what I am
And if it makes you less sad
We'll start talking again
And you can tell me how vile
I already know that I am

I'll grow old
And start acting my age
I'll be a brand new day
In a life that you hate
A crown of gold
A heart that's harder than stone
And it hurts a whole lot
But it's missed when it's gone

Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad you that can forgive
Only hoping as time goes
You can forget

If it makes you less sad
I'll move out of the state
You can keep to yourself
I'll keep out of your way
And if it makes you less sad
I'll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint
I will paint myself out
It's as cold as a tomb
And it's dark in your room
When I sneak to your bed
To pour salt in your wounds
So call it quits
Or get a grip
Say you wanted a solution
You just wanted to be missed

Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
You can forget
So you can forget
You can forget

You are calm and reposed
Let your beauty unfold
Pale white like the skin
Stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin
Standing trial for your sins
Holding onto yourself the best you can
You are the smell before the rain
You are the blood in my veins

Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
You can forget

George Michael - Jesus to a child

a very special song & lyrics

It's impossible, tell the sun to leave the sky, it's just impossible
It's impossible, ask a baby not to cry, it's just impossible
Can I hold you closer to me and not feel you goin' through me?
Split the second that I never think of you? Oh, how impossible

Can the ocean keep from rushin' to the shore? It's just impossible
If I had you, could I ever want for more? It's just impossible
And tomorrow, should you ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it
I would sell my very soul and not regret it
For to live without your love--It's just impossible.

"It`s Impossible"
Not my actual favourite of all time, but pretty nice.

I find it too difficult to pick just one favourite.
I like the bit in "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Kris Kristofferson where he sings about how he
"went to the closet and sorted out my cleanest dirty shirt."

(And there`s always "Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen by the Sea")

Basically anything by Radiohead/Bright Eyes/Elliott Smith.

Especially this one:

I'm waiting for the train
Subway that only goes one way
The stupid thing that'll come to pull us apart
And make everybody late

You spent everything you had
Wanted everything to stop that bad
Now I'm a crashed credit card registered to Smith -
Not the name that you called me with

You turned white like a saint
I'm tired of dancing on a pot of gold-flaked paint
Oh we're so very precious, you and I
And everything that you do makes me want to die
Oh I just told the biggest lie
I just told the biggest lie
The biggest lie

The Biggest Lie-Elliott Smith

or

Well the future's got me worried such awful thoughts
My head's a carousel of pictures, the spinning never stops
I just want someone to walk in front
And I'll follow the leader
Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush
Started carrying her books and doing lots of drugs
I almost forgot who I was
But came to my senses

Now I'm trying to be assertive, I'm making plans
Want to rise to the occasion, yeah meet all their demands
But all I do is just lay in bed
And hide under the covers

Yeah I know I should be brave
But I'm just too afraid of all this change

And it's too hard to focus through all this doubt
I keep making this to-do list but nothing gets crossed out
Working on the record seems pointless now
When the world ends who's gonna hear it?

But I'm trying to take some comfort in written words
Yeah Tim, I heard your album and it's better than good
When you get off tour I think we should
Hang and black out together

Cause I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by
All those summers singing, drinking, laughin', wasting our time
Remember all those songs and the way we smiled
In those basements made of music?

But now I've got to crawl to get anywhere at all
I'm not as strong as I thought

So when I'm lost in a crowd, I hope that you'll pick me out
I long to be found, the grass grew high, I laid down
Now I'll wait for a hand to lift me up, help me stand
I've been laying so long, don't wanna lay here no more
Don't wanna lay here no more, don't wanna lay here no more

Everything that happens is supposed to be
And it's all pre-determined, can't change your destiny
Guess I'll just keep moving, someday maybe
I'll get to where I'm going

Nothing Gets Crossed Out-Bright Eyes

Yes, he is, but the lyrics to his songs were written by Jim Steinman.

I particularly like
"You've been living your life like a girl in a cage
And you whisper when I want you to shout
And I'll never know why you wanna go on sleeping
When there's nothing left to dream about.."

I love this guys music ...Moz
THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT


Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their
Home, and I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(But then a strange fear gripped me and I
Just couldn't ask)

Riding The Waves (For Virginia Woolf) by Steve Harley

She shook her head and I saw jewels
I saw golden trinkets hanging there and quivering
Then she told me, "Hey, I see the sea. Watch how the creases
Form then disappear"
We saw a new day forming

The sun has risen now
And set the fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves

Then light struck upon the brooding trees
Making one leaf seem transparent and then
shimmering
Then an arc of fire was burning on the distant rim
of the horizon and we gazed in awe

The sun has risen now
And set the fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves

Then she whispered, "Look, the honey-coloured ball
Is lifting its way into another morning"
Then she flicked the back of her neck, defiantly,
And for such gestures one could fall
Hopessly in love
For a lifetime

The sun has risen now
And set the fibres burning
We got the feeling of riding the waves

I Just Called to say I Love You ..Stevie Wonder

The only place where you can dream
Living here is not what it seems
Ship of white light in the sky
Nobody there to reason why
Here I am-I'm not really there
Sullen faces ever so rare
Let's walk in deepest space
Living here just isn't the place

Stalks of light come from the ground
When I cry there isn't a sound
All my feelings cannot be heard
I'm happy in my new strange world
Shades of green grasses twine
Girls drinking plasma wine
I look at love, a dream unfolds
Living here you'll never grow old.

Strange World - Iron Maiden (1980)

JULIA by The Eurythmics

When the leaves
Turn from green to brown
And autumn shades
Come tumbling down
To leave a carpet on the ground
Where we have laid

When winter leaves her branches
bare
And icy breezes chill the air
The freezing snow lies everywhere
My darling
Will we still be there?

Julia

When spring rejoices
Down the lane
And everything is new again
Will everything be
Just the same
Will we be there?

Oh Julia

One of my all time favourites The title used to be my sig on C4 forum
