Y’s Lyrics Emporium IV: Fab Four (Hi, Leigh!!!)

[Steadfast421]

So take, take me home ('cause I don't remember)
Take, take me home ('cause I don't remember)
Take, take me home
Oh, Lord
'Cause I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you.

Take that look of worry
Mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night.

I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh, but I know who they are.

 

[beachbaby179]

I look at you all,
see the love there that's sleeping,
while my guitar gently weeps
I look, at the floor,
and I see it needs sweeping,
still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why, nobody told you, how to unfold your love
I don't know how, someone controlled you, they bought and sold you
I look, at the world, and I notice it's turning,
while my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake, we must surely be learning,
still my guitar gently weeps

 

[QuietCanadian]

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream)

Please, don't wake me
No, don't shake me
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping

 

[Mo_Bandy]

When you wake up
Feelin' old
At this piano filled with souls
Some strange purse
Stuffed nervous with gold
Can you be where you want to be?

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something

Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something

Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up

 

[beachbaby179]

There's something in the way she moves
Or looks my way, or calls my name
That seems to leave this troubled world behind
If I'm feeling down and blue
Or troubled by some foolish game
She always seems to make me change my mind

 

[Steadfast421]

Feeling so tired, can't understand it
Just had a fortnight's sleep.
I'm feeling so strung, I'm so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week.

I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night.
I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason
Just ate a horse meat pie.

Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog.
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum, alright.

Rod Stewart - Infatuation
Early in the morning I can't sleep
I can't work and I can't eat
I've been drunk all day, can't concentrate
Maybe I'm making a big mistake

Caught me down like a killer shark
It's like a railroad running right through my heart
Jekyll and Hyde the way I behave
Feel like I'm running on an empty gauge

Oh no, not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation

Heart beats silly like a big bass drum
Losing all equilibrium
It's so hard in the middle of the week
Maybe this woman's just all I need

Oh no, not again
It hurts so good
I don't understand
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
Infatuation
'Fatuate me baby

 

[Steadfast421]

Early in the morning' and I can't do right
Had a little fight with my baby last night
And it's early in the mornin'
Don't you know it's early in the mornin'?
Early in the mornin'
I ain't got nothin', no nothin' but the blues.

I went to your girlfriend's house but she was out
I knocked on your daddy's door but he began to shout
And he said "It's early in the mornin'
Don't you know it's early in the mornin'?"
Early in the mornin'
I ain't got nothin', no nothin' but the blues.

 

[QuietCanadian]

Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette, and I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a Dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a motherfuckin' riot

Well, life is too short, so love the one you got
'Cause you might get run over, or you might get shot
Never start no static, I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity

 

[Steadfast421]

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
Concentration slip away
Because your baby is so far away.

Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with.

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit cryin' over good times you've had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waitin' for something to do.

 

[beachbaby179]

Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talkin', few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
You hurt and abuse, tellin' all of your lies
Run 'round, sweet baby, Lord, how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you been
Gonna love you, baby, here I come again
Every day I work so hard
Bringin' home my hard-earned pay
Try to love you, baby
But you push me away
Don't know where you're goin'
Only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby
I want you again

 

[Steadfast421]

I'm gonna love you like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine.
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine.

I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things.
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me.

You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine.
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine.

The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine.

Queen - You're My Best Friend
Ooh, you make me live
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now, honey
Ooh, you make me live

Oh, you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
(Ooh) Oh, you're my best friend

Ooh, you make me live
Ooh, I've been wandering 'round ('Round)
But still come back to you
(Ooh, still come back to you)
In rain or shine, you've stood by me, girl (Girl)
I'm happy at home
(happy at home)
You're my best friend

 

[beachbaby179]

Queen - You're My Best Friend

Good choice. My wedding exit song. Makes me smile every time.
And now for some Pink:

I've been dreaming of friendly faces
I've got so much time to kill
Just imagine people laughing
I know some day we will
And even if it's far away
Get me through another day
Cover me in sunshine
Shower me with good times
Tell me that the world's been spinning since the beginning
And everything will be alright
Cover me in sunshine

 

[lifeisgood3976]

But there's this one particular harbour
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
And finally disappear

But now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days, I was so bad
Laughin' about all the fun we had
I've seen enough to feel the world spin
Mixin' different oceans, meetin' cousins
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

(This song also came close with the "world spin" reference).

 

[Mo_Bandy]

I guess I got a taste for poison
I've given up on ever bein well
I keep mindin the horizon
Diggin for lies I have yet to tell
And I wish you were here
And softly say my name
Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain

 

[AmberLGreen]

You had this picture of me
And now I have shattered your dreams
I know the drill and I know the truth
And it kills me
Yeah, I'm guilty
Don't come near me
The one thing I'm good at is messing up somebody else
Baby, I'm guilty
Of turning sweet love into poison
And I got the scars, if you're talking 'bout hurting yourself
Baby, I'm guilty as hell

 

[Steadfast421]

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true.
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I'd look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give
Never think of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind.
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still, I'd look to find a reason to believe.

Paul Simon - Graceland
And my traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received in Graceland

There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
"Whoa, so this is what she means"
She means we're bouncing into Graceland

And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Well, everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blow

Ooh
In Graceland, Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see Graceland

 

[beachbaby179]

Got a feeling inside (Can't explain)
It's a certain kind (Can't explain)
I feel hot and cold (Can't explain)
Yeah, down in my soul, yeah (Can't explain)
I said (Can't explain)
I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (Can't explain)
Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue
The things you've said, well, maybe they're true
I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means, but
Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say it to you
When I feel blue

 

[Steadfast421]

I've got a feeling
A feeling deep inside, oh, yeah.
(Oh, yeah, that's right)

I've got a feeling
A feeling I can't hide, oh, no, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah.

Oh, please, believe me
I'd hate to miss the train, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
And if you leave me.
I won't be late again, oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Yeah, yeah, I've got a feeling, yeah
I got a feeling.

All these years I've been wandering around
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody who looked like you.

 

[AmberLGreen]

What do you expect?
You left me here alone; I drank so much and needed to touch
Don't overreact - I pretended he was you
You wouldn't want me to be lonely
How can I put it so you understand?
I didn't let him hold my hand
But he looked like you; I guess he looked like you
No he wasn't you
But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
It's not cheating; you were on my mind
Yes he looked like you
But I heard love is blind.

 

[Steadfast421]

Seems like only yesterday
I left my mind behind
Down in the Gypsy Cafe
With a friend of a friend of mine
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
A phrase in connection first with she occurred
That love is just a four-letter word.

Outside a rattling store-front window
Cats meowed to the break of day
Me, I kept my mouth shut
To you I had no words to say
My experience was limited and underfed
You were talking while I hid
To the one who was the father of your kid
You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
You say that love is just a four-letter word.

 

[AmberLGreen]

We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
Brought by dark divine intervention
Yeah, you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over royal David's city
An epiphany, you burn so pretty
Yeah, you are a shining light
