Lyrics

[M29]

I'm use to being a lazy student, so here's mine:


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

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind, I think they're crazzy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need (there's no need)

Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling...

Please, don't spoil my day, I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

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

The Beatles - Im only Sleeping

 

[Shinboners]

I had to laugh when an ex-girlfriend rang and whilst we were chatting, this song got played.....

"Fine Day For Sailing" by Go Sailor. Lyrics by Rose Melberg.

This is the last time that I wish you dead,
I think I've decided to like you instead,
I'll throw away the letters that I never meant to send,
'Cos now I've got more love to give and,
Therefore this time I mean it.
This time we'll stick,
You're easy to like,
When you're not making me sick.

Maybe you come over to my house for tea,
We won't talk about all the things that hurt me,
I've become quite adept at pretending you're nice,
So believe it, pretending will have to suffice,
Although this time I mean it,
This time's for real,
Just 'cos you've ruined my life's no big deal,

So I'll take the pins out of the doll,
I'll take the darts out of the wall,
I'm just so nice now I'm not like before,
I don't think of hurting you much anymore,

It's a fine day for sailing, let's go for a spin,
You don't have to worry that I'll push you in,
I'm so happy now I'm friends with everyone,
Even people like you don't deserve to have none,
So now this time I mean it,
I just don't have time,
To waste on you,
All those days are behind me for good

 

[The Dutchman!]

Long afloat..... Shipless oceans
I did all my.... best to smile
Til your.... singing eyes and fingers
called me lovelorn... to your isle

For your sang
Swim to me
Swim to me let me enfold you

Here I am... here I am...
Waiting to hold you


etc
Song to the Siren (Tim Buckley) on Starsailor




You're an old wreck... off a reef
Off some godforsaken coast
Returnnnnning
To your fans cos they need you the most

Now I have... my use
I used to have a lot more...

Do something about me
Do something about me
Do something about me
And do it soon my friend
My rock'n roll friend...

Rock 'n roll friend (The GoBetweens)


You just stand around waiting for a signal from heaven
you.. never had to make... any dead decisions darling...
You are not moving any mountains
You are not seeing any visions
You are not freeing... any ppl from prison just a
aphorism... for every occasion

etc

Stolen Property (Triffids) On Born Sandy Devotional


So take me down to your dance floor
I won't mind the ppl - when they stare...
Paint a different colour.. on your front door
For tomorrow... we will still be here....

A song for you.. (Flying Burrito bros) on The Guilded Palace of Sin.


You cry out in your sleep
All my feelings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Something so good
Just can't function no more... etc

Love will tear us apart (Joy Division)






Wow. After a tough couple of days... I feel a bit better for that.

 

[BomberGal]

Don't Wanna Miss A Thing

My all time favourite song is Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. It's so sweet.

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch your smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing


Lying close to you hearing your heart beating
And I wonder what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
And then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
I just wanna stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you
Just like this
I just wanna hold you close
I feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for the rest of time

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeah

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep yeah
And I don't wanna miss a thing


*Sniffs* It's so sweet, it's the best song ever!

 

[RacerX]

I'd never stopped to consider those Aerosmith lyrics BomberGal. Your right they are sweet.

The radio keeps playing that song "With arms wide open", it seems very appropriate given the World Trade Centre's destruction. Brought a tear to my eye just to listen to that song yesterday

I can't really remember the lyrics that well though. Anyone else got them handy?

 

[*miss_magpie*]

With Arms Wide Open

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life
With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

Thanks 4 that miss_magpie.

I'm getting all teary eyed again.

 

[*miss_magpie*]

no worries...

Mr. Big- To be with you... love this song..

Hold on little girl
show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
when it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you

CHORUS:
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you

Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you

CHORUS

Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwile
and I can make you start to smile

THE TALE OF THE
GIANT STONE EATER

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

COMMENTATOR: Hear this the tale of the giant stone eater
GIRL: Gather round boys and girls and listen

MAN: To the tale of the giant stone eater
and how the earth was ravaged
during the years of the great stone shortage...

COMMENTATOR: Raised the price of diesel oil
and yellow painted signs zigzagged
black lines of warning......

GIRL & MAN: Another tree dies of shame.....

MAN: Sudden-savage-shining-solid-soiled-solid-sanded
Steel-shuddering-shattering-shovelling until the
Sabre toothed rooter roots the earth
The eater eats his fill and is not satisfied and
Roars and reves his mathematical rage
on the footprints of Vikings
trapped on a sonic tape recorder
ten million years old, ten million years old, ten million years old.

GIRL: A broken antler points the way to the still pond

where reflections of bonnie Prince Charlie lies wounded in the
shallow water sun shining on chrome surfaces
protecting the tales of a grandfather -
march on!

GIRL & MAN: Journeys unstarted measure space for future parking lots
Journeys unstarted measure space
Journeys unstarted measure space for the future

COMMENTATOR: And - underneath a million tons of cold lava
a brontasaurus lies wrong way up.

GIRL: Right way straight ahead

MAN: Hamburgers at the barn dance tonight!

COMMENTATOR: Average speed 100 mph
sixteen lane highways cross the meadows

GIRL: Plastic space agents selling candy-floss contracts

ALL TOGETHER: Bells ringing "ring ring" split, grind and grovel
Lost iron relics ringing on the cold stone

GIRL: A spated river flows up hill
directions change in the New Age rain on Tuesdays...

COMMENTATOR: Thursdays guaranteed dry!...
Guaranteed dry while handmade golf courses
weary of trickery and fraud
Grey slates remain grey slates -
floods as required life silently reforms in the pools of stagnation.
Each layer a civilisation - buy your own layer
The eater eats again retches roars and vomits
his computerised future is bright with security
Headshrinkers analyse the unknown....
Meanwhile another tree dies of shame

ALL TOGETHER: And another tree dies of shame.....

[Olmy]

to a girl in edithvale (november 9)

surpass the disbelievers
sentencing their harsh and bitter words
of past glories faded
holding a lustre for no more

un-cloud the urgent world
the known streets led to my girl
our jaded thoughts forlorn
as we drove the night so long

and if the art world says “rest your heart upon its tears”
will you turn and leave this place tonight?
cos no-one cares if your years are any less
than the holes in your heart still playing on your mind
only bitter, ever sour, forever biting on the dust
in the hours of the glasses in your late sunshine
so even if your cares match your hopes and your dreams
they’re not as auspicious as 1989

when we both had the time . . .

the lone sounds still blush like embers
only taken from that same old ground
where once a heart was forged
of which only love could purge

and if the urgent world says that your feelings are repressed
will you bury your head and your heart from sight?
giving in to the pressure of the love of a lesser
while you’re trying to save face from a hopeless plight
with the starry-eyed girls and the hero-fashioned boys
jumping up to the sound of your frightening noise
as you stare into the sky, as if just to wonder why
the ones that you love, you never had won . . .
so even if your loves want to bury themselves
they’re not as auspicious as 1989

when we both had the time . . .

went down to edithvale
scorched pavements and the empty streets
with this only torch i’ve known
for your hearts lonely own

crush a fleeting sight for you
you know i’m dying just to hear your sighs
i’ve waited for your calls
i’ve held out to see you with my eyes

though the tides of yesterday
pose an enthusiastic view
i can’t help but count on the loss
in how i’ve betrayed myself to you

i’ve walked your beach for hours
drove your past your house in my car alone
do your streets give an answer
of questions that remain unknown

i've never gave in you know cos
i've seen your face come and glow and go
like your heart will surely rescue
our bonds in time will grow

and if the art world says “rest your heart upon its tears”
will you turn and leave this place tonight?
cos no-one cares if your years are any less
than the holes in your heart still playing on your mind
only bitter, ever sour, forever biting on the dust
in the hours of the glasses in your late sunshine
so even if your cares match your hopes and your dreams
they’re not as auspicious as 1989

when we both had the time . . .

A sweet little song, by Jan & Dean called 'Lullaby in the Rain'........ simple, but guaranteed to bring a smile.


No sadness, cause I'll take good care of you
Don't be blue, the sun will shine right on through
So baby don't you worry

We'll be friends now, we will be just like one
Having fun, running playing in the sun
No one can ever hurt you

You can come with me to the mountains or the sea if you want to
Everything that is mine you can have it - that's just fine with me now

So smile now, aren't you glad you're here with me
Here with me, is where you will always be
So baby don't you worry.

Planet Claire
Has
Pink air
All the trees are red
No-one ever dies there
No-one has a head..


And there's something in that for all of us? Right, kids?

 

[aggels]

These words have been good the past couple of days

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

Hands - Jewel.

 

[PiesPremiers]

not one of my favourite songs, but i love the lyrics since hearing them at a friends funeral.

On Silent Wings, Tina Turner

"There was a time when I would have followed you
to the ends of the earth
I was willing to share it all with you
the love, the hurt
I've seen you when your dreams
were falling in the dust
But I never stopped believing in you
I always thought our love was strong enough
One you could hold on to...

You never see it coming
You just let it fly
on silent wings, silent wings
You can't hide what you you feel inside
and the fire has left your eyes
silent wings

I can see us in our dreams and we're dancing
I can almost hear the song
But the prayers, they go unanswered
but we both know, we're just hanging on
oooh, I feel the shame
but I'll never know the reason why
the rug was pulled so gently from under my feet
I only know that something good has died
between you and me, oh it's just a memory

You never see it coming
You just go separate ways
silent wings, silent wings
No more promises to break
oh our love has slipped away
silent wings

You never see it coming
but you know it has to end
silent wings, silent wings
I will never be the same again
I feel the whisper of the wing
silent wings

Silent wings...ohhh
Silent wings...ohhh

No more promises to break
oh our love has slipped away
silent wings
I will never be the same again
I feel the whisper of the wing
silent wings ....ohhh
Never be the same again....silent wings, silent wings."

[longbombfrom50]

"He could’ve tuned in, tuned in
But he tuned out
A bad time, nothing could save him
Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out
He got up outta there, ran for hundreds of miles
He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree
The wind rose up, set him down on his knee

A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings, "Hey, look at me now"
Arms wide open with the sea as his floor
Oh, power, oh

He's.. flying
Whole…
High.. wide, oh

He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
But first he was stripped and then he was stabbed
By faceless men, well, ****ers
He still stands

And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
The love he receives is the love that is saved
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
A human being that was given to fly

High.. flying
Oh, oh
High.. flying
Oh, oh
He’s…flying
Oh, oh"

Given to Fly- Pearl Jam


"I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me
I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good
I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun
I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...?

Wishlist- Pearl Jam

To be strictly pedantic about this, Go West was originally a song by the Village People.

 

[WCE2000]

yeah, but pet shop boys version was better.

Always brings back the memories to me because it was played at my wife's 40th birthday, which was the biggest night i ever had in my life, including anytime when i was in my 20s.

Yep....agree with you wholeheartedly on that.

 

[Pornstar]

I like the lyrics to "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones:

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long year stolen many man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed His fate
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tzar and his ministers, Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank held a gen'rals rank when the blitzkrieg
raged and the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah

I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for
ten decades for the Gods they made
I shouted out "Who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all
it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name. Oh yeah
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game. Oh yeah

Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, Saints
as heads is tails, just call me Lucifer 'cause I'm in need
of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy have some sympathy
and some taste
Use all your well learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

"Turn", Paul Colman Trio

How can you expect
People in their right minds
To not see between the cracks
And notice that there's something missing?
Wouldn't you agree now is the right time
To be all that we can be?

Come and dream with me
That we were all together
In perfect unity
But we are torn apart
By things that co not matter
And time is running out for us to see

We gotta turn this life around
Turn this life around
Turn this life around

Take a look around can you tell me
Why does it take a tragedy
To bring us all together?
Who can change a heart
Change a motivation?
Take it right back to the start

We gotta...

Come and dream with me
That we were all together
In perfect unity following the maker

We gotta...
