Lines from songs

There ain't a lot that you can do in this town
You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around
You go to school and you learn to read and write
So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life

I work at the fillin' station on the interstate
Pumpin' gasoline and countin' out of state plates
They ask me how far into Memphis son, and where's the nearest beer
And they don't even know that there's a town around here

Someday I'm finally gonna let go
'Cause I know there's a better way
And I wanna know what's over that rainbow
I'm gonna get out of here someday

Now my brother went to college cause he played football
I'm still hangin' round cause I'm a little bit small
I got me a 67 Chevy, she's low and sleek and black
Someday I'll put her on that interstate and never look back​



Just one of those songs that makes me want to drive past my exit home some days....
 
Love can make you do things you never dreamed possible...

I got lost, couldnt find my way
And I guess theres nothing more to say
Love can make you blind, make you act so strange
But Im here and here I will stay

So everyday I cry
Yes everyday I fall
Do you ever wonder why, why I love everything about you

But everyday I say Ill try to make my heart be still
til then every way there is to cry, ourselves to sleep we will

It picked me up, knocked me off my feet
Ive got no way to explain
Still I love you, love you, love you but this fire inside
Will never see the light of day

So everyday goes by
And everyday I fall
It makes me wonder why,
My lifes worth nothing without you

But everyday I say Ill try
To make my heart be still
cos every way there is to cry,
Ourselves to sleep, we will

You'll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
You'll never know just how close we were
You'll never know, no, no, no ,no ,no
You'll never know
No you'll never see

The book closes and we try to forget
But I know that things wont change
How we feel, how life goes on
And that seems so strange

And so the light fades away
Try, try, try as I may
I cant stop thinking about you
It seems my lifes worth nothing without you

But everyday I say I'll try
To make my heart be still
til then every way there is to cry,
Ourselves to sleep, we will

Everyday, everyday you know I try so hard
Everyday, everyday it gets a little harder

~*Everyday, Phil Collins*~

 
You think that I go home at night
Take off my clothes, turn out the lights
But I burn letters that I write
To you, to make you love me

Yeah, I drive naked through the park
And run the stop sign in the dark
Stand in the street, yell out my heart
To make, to make you love me

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho

You may not believe in me
But I believe in you
So I still take the trash out
Does that make me too normal for you?

So dig a little deeper, cause
You still don't get it yet
See me lickin' my lips, need a primitive fix
And I'll make, I'll make you love me

I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess

See me jump through hoops for you
You stand there watching me performing
What exactly do you do?
Have you ever thought it's you that's boring?
Who the hell are you?
 
come with me
somewhere in the night we will know
everything lovers can know
you're my song
music too magic to end
I'll play you over and over again
lovin so warm, movin so right
closing our eyes, and feeling the light
we'll just go on burning bright
somewhere in the night!
 
Here we are in the room full of strangers,
Standing in the dark where your eyes couldnt see me

Well, I have to follow you
Though you didnt want me to.
But that wont stop my lovin you
I cant stay away

Blaming it all on the nights on broadway
Singin them love songs,
Singin them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin it all on the nights on broadway
Singin them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.

Now in my place
There are so many others
Standin in the line;
How long will they stand between us?

Well, I have to follow you
Though you didnt want me to.
But that wont stop my lovin you
I cant stay away

Blaming it all on the nights on broadway
Singin them love songs,
Singin them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin it all on the nights on broadway
Singin them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.

I will wait,
Even if it takes forever;
I will wait,
Even if it takes a life time.
Somehow I feel inside
You never ever left my side.
Make it like it was before
Even if it takes a life time, takes a life time.

Blaming it all on the nights on broadway
Singin them love songs,
Singin them straight to the heart songs.
Blamin it all on the nights on broadway
Singin them sweet sounds
To that crazy, crazy town.

~*Nights On Broadway, Bee Gees*~

 
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
and I've been there before
that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love him
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
with no one to share
with no one who truly cares for me

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
but I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

If I ain't got you with me baby

Oh, ooh, so nothing in this whole
wide world don't mean a thing

If I ain't got you with me baby

If I Ain't Got You ~ Alicia Keys
 
My Old Friend ~ Tim McGraw

My old friend, I recall
The times we had hanging on my wall
I wouldn't trade them for gold
Cause they laugh and they cry me
Somehow sanctify me
Their woven in the stories I have told
And tell again

My old friend, I apologize
For the years that have passed
Since the last time you and I
Dusted off those memories
But the running and the races
The people and the places
There's always somewhere else I had to be
Time gets slim, my old friend

Don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, don't know why

My old friend, this song's for you
Cause a few a few simple verses
Was the least that I could do
To tell the world that you were here
Cause the love and the laughter
Will live long after
All of the sadness and the tears
We'll meet again, my old friend

Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

My old friend, my old friend
Goodbye, goodbye
 

If we only have love
then tomorrow we'll dawn
and the days of our years
will rise on that morn'

If we only have love
to embrace without fears
we will kiss with our eyes
we will sleep without tears
if we only have love
with our arms open wide
then the young and the old
will stand at our side

If we only have love
love that's falling like rain
then the parch desert Earth
will grow green again
if we only have love
for the hym that we shout
for the song that we sing
then we'll have a way out

If we only have love
we can reach those in pain
we can heal all our wounds
we can use our own names
if we only have love
we can melt all the guns
and then give the new world
to our daughters and sons

If we only have love
then Jersusalem's stands
and then death has no shadow
there are no foreign lands
if we only have love
we will never bow down
we'll be tall as the pines
neither heroes nor clowns

If we only have love
then we'll only be men
and we'll drink from the grail
to be born once again
then with nothing at all
but the middle we are
we'll have conquered all time
all space the sun and the stars

~*If We Only Have Love, Barry Manilow*~

Glory Boys... Secret Affair

I'm just another Glory Boy
So scared of getting old
Shout hurrah for us Glory Boys
With eyes of lead and hearts of Gold!

Hey Dont Crowd me
I wanna be second to none
Hey won't you give me a break
Im gonna be the only one

see us roaming those London Streets
Feel those lasting stares look on old fashioned feet

Cause we're the Glory Boys
So scared of getting old
We're the Glory Boys
we may look cold but our hearts are gold.

You look at me boy you tryin' to match my stare
Dont you know Im a Glory Boy?
I can cut you down by combing my hair
Nothing touches a Glory Boy

We look too good for you
If you wanna know about us
You gotta be one too

Cause we're the Glory Boys
So scared of getting old
We're the Glory Boys
we may look cold but our hearts are gold.

We're the new fashion kings
Iced cold stares and clothes so neat
We've seen the darker side of life
New found kings of the street

Glory Girl on your arm
You're so young and proud
Ain't no in crowd freak ever gonna knock us down​

 
I lose my head
From time to time
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
We should have been holding each other
Instead we talked
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
But I asked before
Your reply was kind and polite
One wants more
When one's denied
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I won't call it love
But it feels good to have passion in my life
If there's a battle
I hope my head always defers to my heart
In matters of the heart
I guess I'm crazy to think
I can give you what you don't want
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I've made myself sick
I can't think of anything else
I can't sleep at night
I make a fool of myself
In matters of the heart
I wish that I had the power
To make these feelings stop
I lose all self control
In matters of the heart
I can't believe
It's so hard to find someone
To give affection to
And from whom you can receive
I guess it's just the draw of the cards
In matters of the heart
You caught me off guard
Somehow you reached me
Where I thought I had nothing left inside
I've learned a lesson I've been edified
In matters of the heart
I've spent my nights
Where the sleeping dogs lie
Not by your side
It feels so lonely
Once again I've left too much to chance
In matters of the heart
Here I sit
I'm feeling sorry for myself
It's quite a sight
But I have you to thank
For reminding me
We're all alone in this world
And in matters of the heart

~*Mountain O'Things, Tracy Chapman*~

Lips of an Angel

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?
 
From the moment that I laid my eyes on you, I knew
The glory of a new day had arrived, I was hooked on you

Suddenly life it seemed was greater than my wildest dream
It never even crossed my mind to try to hide my love

There was no way we could stop, getting caught up in that groove

Something happens to my life
When our worlds collide
Puts my spirit in the light
When our worlds collide

I wasn't looking for another love
I guess my heart was open to persuasion
So surprised you came into my life, out of the blue

Suddenly life it seemed was greater than the wildest of my dreams
It never even crossed my mind to try to hide my love

There was no way we could stop getting caught up in that groove

Something happens to my life
When our worlds collide
Puts my spirit in the light
When our worlds collide

Your world, my world, your world, my world

~*Worlds Collide, Incognito*~
 
I thought this was a 'line' from a song...not the entire lyric.

Anyway, here is my contribution...

"I fuck like a beast"

Song title: I F**l Like a Beast

Artist: WASP
 
In these days and these hours of fury
When the darkness and answers are thin
Lovers come and check out in a hurry
Shallow and hollow again
Come lay your body beside me
To dream to sleep with the lamb
To the question your eyes seem to send

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

Barring divine intervention
There is nothing between you and i
And if I carelessly forgot to mention
Your body your power can sanctify
Come feed your hunger your thirst
Lay it down the beast will die
You can question my heart once again

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

I will stand firm in the tempest
I will ride destinys trail
To believe when the truth comes up empty
To hold and respect without fail
Come and be one in the motion
A desire they cannot comprehend
Never to question again
For I am your passion your promise your end
Oh yes I am

~*Yes, I Am, Melissa Etheridge*~
 
I Can Love You ~ Gary Allan

I can’t stop your heart from breaking,
Can’t make right mistakes we’ve made,
Can’t dry your crying eyes,
For my little angels sake,
I can’t make the sun keep smiling,
Or blow away the clouds,
There’s some things in this old world girl,
I can’t do nothing bout,

But I can love you,
Like I’ve always done,
And when the hard times come a knocking,
Honey you won’t ever see me run,
I won’t leave you,
When you need a friend,
Can’t make the bad days that much better,
Baby than they’ve ever been,
But I can love you,

Can’t hold back the ocean waves,
Or stop a sinking ship,
Can’t make a mountain move,
Or tell you how to live,

But I can love you,
Like I’ve always done,
And when the hard times come a knocking,
Honey you won’t ever see me run,
I won’t leave you,
When you need a friend,
Can’t make the bad days that much better,
Baby than they’ve ever been,
But I can love you,

And I won’t leave you,
When you need a friend,
Can’t make the bad days that much better,
Baby than they’ve ever been,
But I can love you,
But I can love you
 
Must have been walking
Don't know this place
Somebody stopped talking
It is written in my face

Thought I'd never leave you
Thought I'd never dare
But I watched you going under
That's a thought I could not bear

Five thousand miles I'm away from you
Drifting by the Spanish steps tonight
Guess you've got my number
Guess you got my line
Guess you got my number
Should I be on your mind

Late at night your footsteps
Barefoot on the floor
Tender eyes from sleeping
In the darkened corridor

I come up the stairway
My naked enemy
Comes stumbling towards me
Wish I could set you free

Five thousand miles I'm away from you
Drifting by the Spanish steps tonight
Guess you've got my number
Guess you got my line

Five thousand miles I'm away from you
Sleeping by the Spanish steps tonight
Guess you got my number
Should I be on your mind
I'm not that hard to find

~*Spanish Steps, Morten Harket*~
 
It's Just Me ~ Jon Bon Jovi

You know your favorite old pair of shoes
The ones with the hole in the toe you won't lose
Your favorite record that's all scratched and used
But still you love to play when your feeling blue

That faded rose that's all dried out
Those Bukowski poems we couldn't live without
Your high school picture when you had wild hair
That stormy day on the beach that got us here

And oh, you better believe
There's just one thing you need, oh, can't you see ...

It's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's just one thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby (it's just me)

Just like a shadow 10 feet tall
Standing right behind you should you fall
I'll be the one to hold you up to walk
When this wicked world makes us want to crawl

And if your waves should ever break at sea
I'll be there waiting, I'm that sandy beach
I'm the same old dog, scratching those same fleas
I'll be by your side, you can count on me

It's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's just one thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see ?
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me ? oh...

Oh, how my smile fades and my heart just breaks every time you go away

But it's just me baby, it's just me baby
There's one more thing that you should keep in your book of dreams
It's just me baby, it's just me baby
What's it gonna take to make you see ?
What's it gonna take 'til you believe in me ?

And if someday some new memory comes along
Looking shiny, new, feeling really strong
You can tell him that I'll tell him he can just move on
I'm a fighter, I've been fighting for you all night long
It's just me baby, it's just me, it's just me baby, it's just me baby
 
I'd say love was a magical thing
Id say love would keep us from pain
Had I been there, had I been there

I would promise you all of my life
But to lose you would cut like a knife
So I don't dare, no I don't dare

Cause I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
And Im so scared, I'm so scared

Take me back in time maybe I can forget
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care

I don't understand it, for you its a breeze
Little by little youve brought me to my knees
Dont you care

No I've never come close in all of these years
You are the only one to stop my tears
I'm so scared of this love

And if all that there is, is this fear of being used
I should go back to being lonely and confused
If I could, I would, I swear

~*A Different Corner, George Michael*~
 
The Sun ~ Maroon 5

After school
Walking home
Fresh dirt under my fingernails
And I can smell hot asphalt
Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
And I cannot remember
What life was like through photographs
Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past

And sometimes it's a sad song

But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I have
Gone through
And mama I've been cryin'
Cause things ain't how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we're only several miles from the sun

Moving on down the street
I see people I won't ever meet
Think of her, take a breath
Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
And sometimes it's a sad song

But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I have
Gone through
And mama I've been cryin'
Cause things ain't how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we're only several miles from the sun

The rhythm of her conversation
The perfection of her creation
The sex she slipped into my coffee
The way she felt when she first saw me
Hate to love and love to hate her
Like a broken record player
Back and forth and here and gone
And on and on and on and on
 
Only in my dreams
Ive seen the way its gonna be

Ive waited for this moment
The moment when we share ourselves
This moment cant be thought about
It has to be felt

Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before


Ive dreamed your fingers touch me a thousand times
Dreamed the warm skin of your body burning next to mine
Kissed your sugar lips, caressed your hips
Now were together baby now its time
Time to make you mine
Time to make you mine

The sweet anticipation of hands I know will touch me soon
Two fascinating shadows move in time


Spoken:
I know what its gonna be
Me and you, you and me
I thought that it would never be
I only knew it in my dreams
Even though youre here with me
I never thought Id feel such ecstasy

Were closer to each other
Closer than weve ever been
Seeing things weve never seen before

I Don't Know - Third Day

Cannot find the words to say I'm sorry
Don't know how to show you I was wrong
Wasted all that you had given to me
Now I'm left with nothing and no one
And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy

All my life has lead to this decision
To return and ask you this one thing
And if I had one chance or if a million
Would it ever be enough for me
To explain what I've done
Now I know that I was wrong
Will you hold me again

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
What will it take until you forgive me
I don't know

And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put you through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
What will it take until you forgive me
Oh Lord, will I find that you have already
I don't know
 
These Dreams ~ Heart

Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where i stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all i remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when i close my eyes
Every second of the night i live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment i'm awake the further i'm away

Is it cloak 'n dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips

These dreams go on when i close my eyes
Every second of the night i live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment i'm awake the further i'm away

There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That i've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist

These dreams go on when i close my eyes
Every second of the night i live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment i'm awake the further i'm away

These dreams go on when i close my eyes
Every second of the night i live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment i'm awake the further i'm away
 
I know the desert cant hold all the love
That I feel in my heart for you
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the bees only knew how sweet you are baby
They would seal up their honeycomb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet honey youre my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just cant compare
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love for one heart to hold

If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldnt need a fire
I cant think of a word that describes you better
Than the sight of her

~*Ain’t That A Lot Of Love, Simply Red*~
 
She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She
She, oh she

She... Elvis Costello (or others before... but his is the version I prefer)
