🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

So he cuts cross-town looking out to connect
Like a tightrope walker who's sort of an egg
And it's one for the money, and it's two for the show
But it's dog-eat-dog when you're going down slow
Benny tries to remember what it might have been
But he's a burned out dancer with a killer machine

He'll never get there
 
(instead of my rather bleak lyrics I usually post, a nice song from a rather dark album)

MADE AGAIN.

I have been here many times before
In a life I used to live
But I have never seen these streets so fresh
Washed with morning rain

I have seen this face a thousand times
Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear
Free of doubt and pain

Like the whole world has been made again

I have been here many times before
In a life I used to live...

And it's all because you made me see
What is false and what is true
Like the inside and the outside of me
Is being made again by you

And it's all because you made me see
What is false and what is true
Like the inside and the outside of me
Has been made again by you

Like a bright new morning
Like a bright new day
I woke up from a deep sleep
I woke up from a bad dream

Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
When, at last, the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
 
I could dance with you all night
Make love by candlelight
We could talk and talk but it's all in spite
Because you'll never be my friend
I could walk with you through the rain
We could share each other's pain
We could do all this but it's all in vain
Because you'll never be my friend
 
Well, I walked out of work
And I was tired as hell
Another day's come and gone and oh well
Somewhere there's a drink with my name on it
 
I've crippled your heart a hundred times
And still can't work out why
See, I've got this disease, I can't shake
And I'm just rattling through life
 
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
 
When you close your eyes
I feel like I'm in heaven
When you're in my arms
I never want to leave you
No matter where you're going

What can I do that's not wrong
When will my world turn around

Stand by me
I'll never let you go
Hold me close
I love you so
Is it just my heart
Lyin' to my head
Stand by me
 
And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambitions you remember well
 
Words are like weapons
They wound sometimes

I'm the face you hoped you'd never see
But always knew you would
I'm the one thing you knew you shouldn't do
But did because you could

I'm the evil in your bloodstream
I'm the rash upon your skin
And you made a big mistake all right
The day you let me in
And you can fly to the other side of the world
You know you'll only find
I've reserved the seat behind you
We can talk about old times
 
And if you promised you'd love so completely
An' you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me baby
Whatever happened to you?
An' you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey
It ain't the first time believe me baby
I'm standin' here feelin' blue, blue-hah!
Yes I'm blue
 
Babe, I've thought about it, but, it just ain't done no good
You hold my heart and soul within your hand
All the time, you're in my mind
I never thought you could be so blind
Maybe someday I will understand

Lord, I know the Sun shine, but, I feel the tears of rain
Falling down to wash my sins away
Try hard to remember, so I won't be fooled again
Said hey, ain't gonna cry no more today
No more
 
“But I’m too fucking young to feel so fucking old, but I’ll try and I’ll try and I’ll try. But I’m not dead yet so I guess I’ll be alright!”

Marillion - Bridge

"A bridge is not a high place"

Staring out over the bridge
A million photo flashes from the water down below
Dawn light bouncing through the mist
Roar of traffic and the crack of police radios

When they ask her name
Would she please explain
She simply chooses to say




Nothing
 
Tully baby you're trapped behind your golden bars
I'm the prince of poverty hangin' out in bars
 
"Circles of design,

Twisting thoughts I have,

Through a beautiful mind,

Endless steps in time."

“Green is the colour of her kind.
Quickness of the eye deceives the mind.
Envy is the bond between the hopeful and the damned.”
 
You'd better take another Quaalude
And get yourself corkscrewed
I understand that you got cold feet
Why'd you have to take 'em down a side street?
I must be dumber than a spit curl
'Cause I got hung up on a showgirl
Now I look like I'm a scarecrow
I might as well go on a talk show
 
Gillan - Bite the Bullet

...Believe in tomorrow
There'll be much less sorrow
Look around you at your brothers
You've got more than most others
They can't stop you from living
They can't stop you feeling
They can't stop your dreaming
They can't take that away from you
 
Dream Theater - Take Away My Pain

...You took away my hero
Will you take away my pain

Take away my pain
Let the cold inside
It's time to let it rain
There's nothing left to hide

Take away my pain
I'm not frightened any more
I'm learning to survive
Without you in my life
Til you come knocking at my door...
