🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

Marillion - The Great Escape

... Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
You come here scratchin' at my door
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
Of every corridor I walk

So tell me more about the love that you rejected
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
Why did you hurt the very one
That you should have protected?



Don't ask me why I'm doing this
You wouldn't understand
You're asking the wrong questions
You couldn't understand

A bridge is not a high place
The fifty-second floor
Icarus would know
A mountain isn't far to fall

When you've fallen
When you've fallen from the moon


I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
I have fallen, fallen from the moon
 
Danny boy, don't be afraid, to shake that ass and misbehave
Danny boy, I know you got time, but what are you waiting for
Anyway the dust may just blow away, if you wait for a windy day
But you may find, the chance has passed you by

I can't do the walk
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend

So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it

'Cause you've got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
God knows
You've got me sewn
 
It wasn't a plane
Nor a train
It barely was even a bus
But I made it here
All the same
And darlin' I done it for us
Over some beer somewhere near here
I broke down and told what I felt
You're going to be fine
And I'm going to hell
 
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
 
“This is my least favorite life.
The one where you fly and I don't.
A kiss holds a million deceits,
And a lifetime goes up in smoke.
This is my least favorite you,
Who floats far above earth and stone.
The nights that I twist on the rack,
Is the time that I feel most at home.”
 
I'd steal the moon from the stars
Just to get to where you are
But it seems these days you're so damn far away
And I know everything has changed
Nothing's supposed to stay the same
But you've become a ghost in this place
So talk to me, tell me what I need to hear
Wrap me up with your beautiful lies
And I know you're leavin', yeah, you're standing at that door
But I can see the heartbreak in your eyes
So keep on telling me those beautiful lies
You're the muse to my song
I should've known it all along
That forever was a promise you couldn't keep
My first mistake was believing that you would stay
When I know every good damn thing it fades
 
I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And I've never been this swept away

All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When I'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart
 
And I'm speechless
You already know that you're my weakness
After all this time I'm just as nervous
Every time you walk into the room
I'm speechless
It started when you said hello
Just did something to me
And I've been in a daze
Ever since the day that we met
You take the breath out of my lungs
Can't even fight it
And all of the words out of my mouth without even tryin'
And I'm speechless


I saw Dan + Shay back in 2015 when they were the opening act for Keith Urban. ♡
 
If you want a lover
I'll do anything you ask me to
And if you want another kind of love
I'll wear a mask for you
If you want a partner, take my hand, or
If you want to strike me down in anger
Here I stand
I'm your man

- "I'm Your Man" by Leonard Cohen
 

You came to me this morning
And you handled me like meat
You'd have to be a man to know
How good that feels, how sweet
My mirrored twin, my next of kin
I'd know you in my sleep
And who but you would take me in
A thousand kisses deep

-
An excerpt from a recitation of "Thousand Kisses Deep" by Leonard Cohen
 
Back when I was gasoline
And this old tattoo had brand new ink
And we didn't care what your mom would think
About your name on my arm
….
Funny how a melody sounds like a memory
Like the soundtrack to a July Saturday night

Eric Church, Springsteen

Music has the power to transport us back almost immediately to a time and space where a special moment is etched and recorded in our mind where it still lives invoking all of the related feelings to it.

Maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are

These minefields that I walk through
What I risk to be close to you
These minefields keeping me from you
What I risk to be close to you
Close to you
 
We all got a hole to fill
Some try and try and it’s empty still
I guess the blues baby the blues
Are just you crying somewhere down inside
If this is all we ever get
I’ll learn to live with it without regret
Make the sweet a little sweeter
The pain a little easier to bear
 
Well I can't stand to look at you now
This revelation's out of my hands
Still I can't bear the thought of you now
This complication's leaving me scared

You think you have the best of intentions
I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth
 
Marillion - Hard as Love

....(anouncer vocie) "We will continue to love you even though the rest of the world hates you."

It makes you hungry and it makes you high
It makes you suffer and it makes you cry
It makes you panic and it makes you vain
It makes you primitive and sick inside
It makes you angry and it makes you blind
It makes you guilty and it makes you lie
Tied up and beaten
Spat out and eaten
Suicidal
Nothing's ever been as hard
(Nothing).........
 
Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys
Just need a little because, because
 
Do you want to play chess inside my chest?
You move, I move
You choose, I choose
And hoot, hoot, hoot
I beg like an owl
As I sit on my perch
And I stare and I scowl
I know I left you
But I cannot forget you
Now I only know how to harm or upset you
See, I came for your love but I stayed for your anger
And you rocked me, mama, like a babe in the manger
