🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

"Arc of the curve" Fish

....The days are long, the nights are longer
In every minute there's a thought of you
I can't forget the magic of the moment
I stare into the mirror to pretend I'm not alone
It takes everything I have not to call you on the phone

Just to tell you that I couldn't love you more
That I'm lost on the arc of the curve
Careering on the arc of the curve
Crashing on the arc of the curve

I could never contemplate that you would ever walk away

(Still miss you Amy)

Yes, oh lord, I've seen your oceans, I've seen your mountains high
I've been lost inside your cities, I've seen the underside
Yeah, I know the troubles that plague a troubled mind
But they can't catch me I'm a wanderin'
 
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
"We missed you", hissed the lovecats
 
Oh, I'm so twisted and tied
And all I remember
Was how hard we tried
Only to surrender
 
The way I feel tonight
I haven’t felt like this in ages
Yeah I want to keep turning your pages
I can’t put it down
You might find it boring
Girl I want to know your story
All your shame and all your glories
Just fill me in
And tell me everything
that there is to know about you
 
I'm in a lot of pain and I need some help
I don't dare tell nobody else
These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
I rarely go out, and when I go
I always hope I don't see anyone I know
'Cause the drinks bring no joy to me
I just can't remember when All the drugs begin to fail me
 
I took my love, I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow-covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changin' ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too
Oh! I'm getting older too
Oh-oh, take my love, take it down
Oh-oh, climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well, the landslide bring it down
Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
 
Heaven, when I held you again
How could we ever just be friends?
I would rather die than let you go
Juliet to your Romeo
How I heard you say

"I would never fall in love again until I found her"
I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into"
I was lost within thе darkness, but then I found her
I found you
 
"Lady Nina" Marillion

You pick out your credit cards and check into the night
A dozen tequilas and you're feeling all right
So you swim to the disco, out of your depth jaded gigolo
Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone
But there's one place left to go before the taxi home
After all you've made your marks

One night you'll play Elizabeth Taylor
The next night you're Marilyn Monroe
Forever kissing frogs that think they're princes
Oh, Lady Nina, where did all the romance go?...
 
It's been a while since I've talked about it
Maybe it's time to cooperate
I need some help to forget about it

I don't want your sympathy
Stop saying you give a shit
'Cause you don't really

Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
Care, care, care, yeah
 
"Bad Habits" Thin Lizzy
I seen you walking down the street with another man
Girl you're really shocking
I seen you walking down the street with another hand
Held in your stockings

Boys will be boys and girls will be trouble
And I'm a man of bad habits
I seen you walking down the street with another man
Girl I had to have it

Bad habits
Bad habits
Bad habits

You and I we should meet
Yeah, you and I we should get together
Me and you and I should meet
In the rain and stormy weather

Bad habits
Bad habits
Bad habits

No messing around
Now's the time to start

Boys will be boys and girls will be trouble
And I'm a man of bad habits
I seen you walking down the street with another girl
Man I had to have it

I know it gets into your brain
Sometimes it dribbles and goes in your veins
I tell you this boys is the same
This boy's got bad habits

You and I should meet (yeah)
You and I we should get together
You and I, you know we should meet
Hey babe, check it out the stormy weather

Bad habits
I got bad habits
I got bad habits
 
My mama never told me
About nothin' like this
Now I guess Houston's 'bout as big
As a city can get
Sometimes I get a lonesome for Lafayette
Someday I'm goin' home
But I ain't ready yet
 
I was there for you in your darkest times
I was there for you in your darkest night
But I wonder, where were you?
When I was at my worst down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you?
 
Yeah, let's roll ourselves a J
Just in case today's the day
I hope I'm stoned when Jesus takes me home
 
All the times that I've cried
All this wasted, it's all inside
And I feel all this pain
Stuffed it down, it's back again
And I lie here in bed
All alone, I can't mend
But I feel tomorrow will be okay
 
I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun, and I hate everything
The world owes me, so fuck you
 
It's alright to tell me
What you think about me
I won't try to argue
Or hold it against you
I know that you're leaving
You must have your reasons
The season is calling
Your pictures are falling down
The steps that I retrace
The sad look on your face
The timing and structure
 
Now I'm out of prison
I got me a friend at last
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
His name's Codine
He's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die
Together we're gonna wait around and die
 
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
 
"Someone"

Why, oh why, oh why should I care for someone,
Who doesn't care for me?
I played the game I was subject of, it was all in vain 'cause I fell in love with someone,
Who doesn't care for me, for me.
I hate the game and what it costs, to feel the pain for the love I lost to someone,
Who doesn't care for me.......
 
...Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight ships
Refugees of romance plead asylum from the real
Scrambling distress signals on random frequencies
Forever repatriated on guilt laden morning planes
We are pilots of passion sweating the flight on course
To another summit conference, another breakfast time divorce
Screaming out a cease fire, snow-blind in an avalanche zone.....
