Lyrics that speak to you...

[littlebabyclit]

I like those lyrics, Randy123. Will have to give that song a listen.



Broken Arrow- Robbie Robertson


Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow ?
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain ?
There he goes...moving across the water
There he goes...turning my whole
world around

Do you feel what I feel ?
Can we make that so it's part of the deal ?
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line ... this time

I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot
summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign, this time ?

Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow ?
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain ?
There he goes...moving across the water
There he goes...turning my whole
world around

Can you see what I see ?
Can you cut behind the mystery ?
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind

I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these iron walls
We've got mountains to climb

Who else is gonna bring you
A broken arrow ?
Who else is gonna bring you
A bottle of rain ?
There he goes...moving across the water
There he goes...turning my whole
world around

And RHPS fan and a Floydian? I knew I liked you for a reason.

 

[musicfan1976]

Two songs come to mind....

Baby, can't you see?
I'm calling a guy like you
Should wear a warning
It's dangerous, I'm fallin'

There's no escape
I can't wait, I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous, I'm lovin' it

Listen to it covered by Yael Naim - such a different texture. It's fantastic.

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water

Another example of a phenomenal cover. This one by Johnny Cash.

The Green Fields of France - [Originally by Eric Bogle]

Oh how do you do, young Willy McBride
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside ?
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done
And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the great fallen in 1916
Well I hope you died quick
And I hope you died clean
Or Willy McBride, was is it slow and obscene ?

Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest

And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind,
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined ?
And though you died back in 1916
To that loyal heart you're forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane
In an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frame

Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

The sun shining down on these green fields of France
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
But here in this graveyard that's still no mans land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation were butchered and damned

Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

And I can't help but wonder oh Willy McBride
Do all those who lie here know why they died
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
Did you really believe that this war would end wars
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing and dying it was all done in vain
Oh Willy McBride it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again

Did they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

Was talking to my ex today...

Leave Out All the Rest by Linkin Park
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I made

I'm strong on this surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

"Ordinary People" ~ John Legend

Girl I'm in love with you
This ain't the honeymoon
Past the infatuation phase
Right in the thick of love
At times we get sick of love
It seems like we argue everyday

I know I misbehaved
And you made your mistakes
And we both still got room left to grow
And though love sometimes hurts
I still put you first
And we'll make this thing work
But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie no
No fairy tale conclusion ya'll
It gets more confusing everyday
Sometimes it's heaven sent
Then we head back to hell again
We kiss then we make up on the way

I hang up you call
We rise and we fall
And we feel like just walking away
As our love advances
We take second chances
Though it's not a fantasy
I still want you to stay

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow
Maybe we'll live and learn
Maybe we'll crash and burn
Maybe you'll stay, maybe you'll leave,
Maybe you'll return
Maybe another fight
Maybe we won't survive
Maybe we'll grow
We never know baby you and I

We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Heyyy)
We're just ordinary people
We don't know which way to go
Cuz we're ordinary people
Maybe we should take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow (Take it slow oh oh ohh)
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow
Take it slow
This time we'll take it slow

 

[HisAloneToUse]

"Trouble" ~ Coldplay

Oh no, I see,
A spider web is tangled up with me,
And I lost my head,
The thought of all the stupid things I'd said.

Oh no, what's this?
A spider web, and I'm caught in the middle,
So I turn to run,
The thought of all the stupid things I've done,

And I never meant to cause you trouble,
I never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
And oh no, I never meant to do you harm.

Oh no, I see,
A spider web and it's me in the middle,
So I twist and turn,
Here am I in my little bubble,

Singing I, never meant to cause you trouble,
And I, never meant to do you wrong,
And I, well if I ever caused you trouble,
Oh, no I never meant to do you harm.

They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me,
They spun a web for me.

 

[bad_dave]

From the James song "sit down"

"If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor"

Everytime I hear this it reminds me of the wonderful few weeks we had teaching English in Japan before the company went tits up and we had to come back to the UK, ended up in a damp ridden flat doing jobs we hated. If we had never gone I would not have been so angry about not having done anything with my degree, yet. Hopefully things are starting to clmib back up.

Pain, by Three Days Grace

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

You're sick of feeling numb
You're not the only one
I'll take you by the hand
And I'll show you a world that you can understand

This life is filled with hurt
When happiness doesn't work
Trust me and take my hand
When the lights go out you will understand

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Anger and agony
Are better than misery
Trust me, I've got a plan
When the lights go off, you will understand

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing, rather feel pain

I know, I know that you're wounded
You know, you know that I'm here to save you
You know, you know I'm always here for you
I know, I know that you'll thank me later

Pain, without love
Pain, can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain than nothing at all
Rather feel pain

 

[lind3127]

Still remains by Stone temple pilots

On bed we live, on bed we sleep
making love and i become you
flesh is warm with naked feet
stabbing thorns and you become me

Oh id beg for you
Oh, you know ill beg for you

Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath, I'll drink the water that you leave
if you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend
pick a flower, hold your breath and drift away

do it to me one more time ~ dunno the artist

Song Lyrics

[littlebabyclit]

Shadows of the Night- Pat Benatar

...We're running with the Shadows of the Night
So baby take my hand, it'll be all right
Surrender all your dreams to me tonight
They'll come true in the end

And now the hands of time are standin' still
Midnight angel, won't you say you will...

 

[misfortune1]

Venus As A Boy - Bjork

his wicked
sense of humour
suggests
exciting sex!

his fingers
they focus on her
touches
he's venus as a boy

he believes in a beauty
he's venus as a boy

he's exploring
the taste of her
arousal
so accurate

he sets off
the beauty in her
he's venus
venus as a boy

he believes in a beauty
he's venus as a boy

 

[Tastytooter]

Ever since Alex Chilton died I've had my Big Star albums on repeat, and these lyrics from "What's Goin Ahn" always stand out:

I like love, but I don't know
All these girls they come and go
Always nothing left to say.

Sort of like Sartre for the teenage suburban crowd, right?

=tt

 

[SweetMystery]

Someone PM'd this to me the other day....said it reminded them of me and made them smile. I've not been able to get it out of my head since then. (Thanks, CP!)

Drunken Poet's Dream
I got a woman she's wild as Rome
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
She crosses a bridge and then sets it on fire
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

Wine bottles scattered like last nights clothes
Cigarettes, papers, and dominoes
She laughs for a minute about the shape I'm in
Says, "You be the sinner honey, I'll be the sin."

Chorus:
I'm gonna holler and I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
She brings me roses and a place to lean
A drunken poets dream

There's some money on the table and a pistol on the floor
Some old paper back books of Louis L'Amour
She says, "Honey, don't worry 'bout judgement day."
All these people goin' to heaven, they're just in our way

Repeat Chorus

And all my life I laid around while the colors all turned blue
Closed my eyes and finally found it brought me back to you

I got a woman she's wild as Rome
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
She crosses a bridge then sets it on fire
Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

Vienna- Billy Joel

Slow down, you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me why
Are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day

But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
When will you realize...Vienna waits for you

Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight...tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself
That you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right...you're right

You got your passion you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you

Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright...you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize...
Vienna waits for you.

And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through

Why don't you realize...Vienna waits for you
When will you realize...Vienna waits for you

 

[HarderThanARock]

pretty much all the lyrics from all the songs below in my sig.

 

[HisAloneToUse]

Yeah, I know... I'm such a hopeless romantic sap!!! *sigh*

"Lady" ~ by Lionel Richie - Kenny Roger's version...

Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song?

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my lady!

 

[MrMakersMark]

Just listened to it again this afternoon.....

Pink Floyd..
Dark Side of the Moon..
I wont quote the lyrics.. Everyone should listen for themselves..
Listen my friends and all questions will be answered.

 

[switchbitch]

Man o man there are so many ....where to start though....here's one.....And this one, at least to me, oddly enough the lyrics and the music together are sooooo much more powerful than the lyrics alone.

Sign Your Name, Terence Trent D'Arby



Fortunately you have got
Someone who relies on you
We started out as friends
But the thought of you just caves me in
The symptoms are so deep
It is so much too late to turn away
We started out as friends

Refrain:
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my baby
Sign your name
Across my heart
I want you to be my lady

Time I'm sure will bring
Disappointments in so many things
It seems to be the way
When your gambling cards on love you play
I'd rather be in Hell with you baby
Than in cool Heaven
It seems to be the way

Refrain

Birds never look into the sun
Before the day is gone
But oh the light shines brighter
On a peaceful day
Stranger blue leave us alone
We don't want to deal with you
We'll shed our stains showering
In the room that makes the rain

All alone with you
Makes the butterflies in me arise
Slowly we make love
And the Earth rotates
To our dictates
Slowly we make love

Refrain

I absolutely love these lyrics I was listening to it just yesterday.this is something else that also appeals

the principles of lust. Enigma

The Principles of lust are easy to understand
Do what you feel, feel until the end
The principles of lust are burned into your mind
Do what you want, and do it until you find
Love

feel, feel your heartbeat

The Principles of lust are easy to understand
Do what you feel, feel until the end
The principles of lust are burned into your mind
Do what you want, and do it until you find
Love

start to move, start to move slowly, slowly

The Principles of lust are easy to understand
Do what you feel, feel until the end
The principles of lust are burned into your mind
Do what you want, and do it until you find
Love

 

[JasonGuitar]

The last few lines to Re: Stacks by Bon Iver:

This is not the sound of a new man
Or a crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be safe with me




....Wow....

 

[Tiarra]

"I like your pants around your feet,
And I like the dirt that's on your knees,
I like the way you still say please
While your looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease"

[Daveinport]

Hope is gone
and she confessed
that when you lay your dreams to rest.
You can get what's second best
but it's hard to get enough.
