What lyrics are you listening to now? (pt2)

[Pip]

And flippin singing along to:

But I don`t care what they say!
I`m in love with you!
They try to pull me away!
But they don`t know the truth
My heart`s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keeeeep, keeeeep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keeeeep, keeeeep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keeeep, keeeeep bleeding love

So emotional :,)
Next on the playlist is Beyonce. My flatmates are in for a treat!

 

[pengaleng]

Do you feel like your sinking?
Are you sick of the rain after all you've been through?
Well I know what you're thinking
When you can't take it
You can make it
Sometime soon I know you'll see

Because when your in you're darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of grey
Well hang on and be strong

We're taking each step one day at a time
You can't loose your spirit
Let live and let live forget and forgive
It's all how you see it
And just remember keep it together
Don't you know you're never alone

Because when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of grey
Well hang on, and be strong

No you're not defeated
And soon you'll be smiling once again
Then you won't have to feel it
Let it go with the wind
Time passes us by
And know that you're alowed to cry

Because when you're in your darkest hour
And all of the light just fades away
When you're like a single flower whose colours have turned to shades of grey
Well hang on and be strong

 

[Firky]

for H

I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms
But dreams are always wrong
I never dreamed I'd hurt you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams, I'm always strong
And now the creek is rising
And all my bridges burnt
I always dreamed of big crowds
Plooms of smoke and high clouds
But dreams don't last for long
I have my suspicions
When the stars are in position
All will be revealed
But I know that until then
Unless the stars surrender
All will be concealed
And now the snow is falling
And all my fences torn
I know you need someone
And I can hear someone
Somewhere in this song
I dreamed that I was walking
And the two of us were talking
Of all life's mysteries
But words that flow between friends
Winding streams, without end
I wanted you to see
But it can seem surprising
When you find yourself alone
And now the dark is rising
And a brand new moon is born
I always dreamed I'd love you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams, I'm always strong​

 

[pengaleng]

Ooh yeah yeah yeah yeah!
You're taking all the sunshine away
Making out like you're the main line (I knew that)
'Cause you're a cool cat
Tapping on the toe with a new hat
Ooh just cruising
Driving along like the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart huh!
Feeling the beat of my heart

Ooh you're a cool cat
Coming on strong with all the chit chat
Ooh you're alright
Hanging out and stealing all the limelight
Ooh messing with the beat of my heart yeah!

Ooh you used to be a mean kid
Ooh making such a deal of life
Ooh you were wishing and hoping and waiting
To really hit the big time
But did it happen? happen no!
You're speeding to fast slow down
Slow down you'd better slow down slow down

You really know how to set the mood
And you really get inside the groove
Cool cat tapping on the toe with a new hat
Ooh just cruising
Driving along like the swing king
Feeling the beat of my heart
Feeling the beat of my heart yeah!
Feeling the beat of my heart
Can you feel it?
Feeling the beat of my heart
Feeling the beat of my heart
Ooh feeling feeling feeling
Feeling ev'ry feeling

ice cold

 

[Roadkill]

If you don’t speak, no-one will ever hear you
And if you don’t approach, no-one will ever be near you
Does someone miss you when you’re not around?
It’s a question of give and take.

If you don’t cry, no-one will ever feel pain for you
If you pass by, defeated they will walk away from you
Do all of your wounds go unwashed?
Did you look over your shoulder today?

Fair’s fair, when she’s over there and you’re here alone
Fair’s fair, when you don’t like what you hear on the telephone
But save me form this heart that always loves beyond its means
Let me find you perfect in my dreams

If you don’t defend, no-one will ever be there for you
And if you pretend, no-one will ever much care for you
Does a mist [?] surround your heavy eyes,
Making every one grey?

Fair’s fair, when she’s over there and you’re here alone
Fair’s fair, when you don’t like what you hear on the telephone
But save me form this heart that always loves beyond its means
Let me find you perfect in my dreams

(Eliza Carthy)

The lyrics are something like that, anyway. Makes me think of someone I care a great deal for...

 

[dodgepot]

Aah, love you love you
Aah, love you love you

Don't tell me that it's no use
Love's always been my excuse
Don't tell me it ain't right
My heart is my alibi

Only you (you), you (you)
Get me acting crazy
Like I do (do), do (do)
You say you can't believe it but it's true, ooh, ooh
It's true, ooh, ooh

What do I have to do
To get the message through
How can I prove that I really love you, love you
What do I have to do
To get it through to you
How can I prove that I really love you, love you

There ain't a single night
When I haven't held you tight
But it's always inside my head
Never inside my bed

And it's you (you), you (you)
Bringing out the passion
In my soul (oh), oh (oh)
And I gotta have you
Don't you know, oh, oh
Don't you know, oh, oh

What do I have to do
To get the message through
How can I prove that I really love you, love you
What do I have to do
To get it through to you
How can I prove that I really love you, love you

Love, love you
Love, love you
Love, love you

 

[SpookyFrank]

Introducing a radical new vision
No more imperial colonial bastards
No more romantic comedies
This is a fanfare introduction
To a high-powered purposful theme

Take a shine of our lazer beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you

The resistance
In the distance
Creeping closer
Have no fear
Land in anguish
We escape it
In our rocket
Propelled spaceship

Take a shine of our lazer beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you

Human being
Human doing
Human error
Human terror
Human nature
Human hate you
Human crying
Human leaving

Take a shine of our lazer beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you

We will conquer utopia in space chariots

Take a shine of our lazer beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you

Point your random finger
Point it to the sky
Point your random finger
Come on and testify
Human kind loves money
We just love to fly
Fly, fly, fly
So point your random finger
Come on and testify

 

[dodgepot]

what's that, spookyfrank? never heard it (to my knowledge) but i like them lyrics

anyway, now it's:

Oh ! Take me back to dear old Blighty,
Put me on the train for London Town,
Take me anywhere,
Drop me anywhere,
Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham
But I don't care,
I should like to see my ...

I don't bless them
Farewell to this land's cheerless marshes
Hemmed in like a boar between arches
Her very Lowness with a head in a sling
I'm truly sorry - but it sounds like a wonderful thing


I said Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil ?
Oh ...
And so, I checked all the registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
How I'm the 18th pale descendant
Of some old queen or other


Oh, has the world changed, or have I changed ?
Oh has the world changed, or have I changed ?


Some 9-year old tough who peddles drugs
I swear to God
I swear : I never even knew what drugs were
Oh ...
So, I broke into the palace
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"


We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
But when you're tied to your Mother's apron
No-one talks about castration
Oh ...


We can go for a walk where it's quiet and dry
And talk about precious things
Like love and law and poverty
Oh, these are the things that kill me

 

[SpookyFrank]

what's that, spookyfrank? never heard it (to my knowledge) but i like them lyrics

'Lazer Beam' by the super furry animals, off their last-but-one album.

 

[Dubversion]

My old man wore three piece whistles
he was never home for long
drove a bus for London Transport
he knew where he belonged
number 18 down to Euston
double decker move along
double decker move along
my old man

later on he drove a Roller
chauffeuring for foreign men
dropped his aitches on occasion
said Cor Blimey! now and then
did the crossword in the Standard
at the airport in the rain
at the airport in the rain
my old man

wouldn't never let his guvnors
call him Billy, he was proud
personal reasons make a difference
his last boss was allowed
perhaps he had to keep his distance
made a racket when he rowed
made a racker when he rowed
my old man
my old man

my old man was fairly handsome
he smoked too many cigs
lived in one room in Victoria
he was tidy in his digs
had to have an operation
when his ulcer got too big
when his ulcer got too big
my old man

seven years went out the window
we met as one to one
died before we'd done much talking
but relations had begun
all the while we though about each other
all the best mate from your son
all the best mate from your son
my old man
my old man

 

[pengaleng]

Mm ba ba de
Um bum ba de
Um bu bu bum da de
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure - that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da - that's o.k.
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
O.k.
Chippin' around - kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap
People on streets - ee da de da de
People on streets - ee da de da de da de da
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming 'Let me out'
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher high high
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love
but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why ?
Love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love give love give love give love
give love give love give love give love give love
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And loves dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

[Dubversion]

i don't want to go to California
i don't want to die in an empty room
All i want is cheap beer and quality of life.
Casper's Ballroom

 

[g force]

Maybe somone's gonna save me
My heart is made of gravy
And the laps I swim from lunatics don't count
Open up your stocking
Pull out all the things you never wanted
'til room service calls
Room service calls

 

[pengaleng]

Why don't you take another little piece of my heart
Why don't you take it and break it
And tear it all apart
All I do is give
All you do is take
Baby why don't you give me
A brand new start

So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Let me live, oh baby
And make a brand new start

Why don't you take another little piece of my soul
Why don't you shape it and shake it 'till you're really in control
All you do is take
And all I do is give
All that I'm askin'
Is a chance to live

(So let me live) - so let me live
(Leave me alone) - let me live, let me live
Why don't you let me make a brand new start

And it's a long hard struggle
But you can always depend on me
And if you're ever in trouble - hey
You know where I will be

Why don't you take another little piece of my life
Why don't you twist it, and turn it
And cut it like a knife
All you do is live
All I do is die
Why can't we just be friends
Stop livin' a lie

So let me live (so let me live)
Let me live (leave me alone)
Please let me live
(Why don't you live a little)
Oh yeah baby
(Why don't you give a little love...?)

Let me live
Please let me live
Oh yeah baby, let me live
And make a brand new start

Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my heart now baby
Take another little piece of my soul now baby
Take another little piece of my life now baby
In your heart, oh baby
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Please let me live
(Take another piece, take another piece)
Why don't you take another piece
Take another little piece of my heart
Oh yeah baby
Make a brand new start
All you do is take
Let me live

 

[May Kasahara]

You hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh, I do not fear you
And slave I only use
As a word to describe the special way I feel for you
You look like me
And I look like no one else
We need no other
As long as we have ourselves
But I won't cry about it
Every time you get obsessed
Every time I came undressed
All ugly thoughts are gone
I'm sure we'll all be friends
I'll try to break your back
You'll try to make amends
Curse softly to me baby
And smother me in your love
Temptation comes not from hell but from above
And there's blood on my teeth
When I bite my tongue to speak
Zip me down, kiss me there
I can smile now
You won't find out ever
Hurt me baby
I flinch so when you do
Your kisses scourge me
Hyssop in your perfume
Oh I do not fear you
And slave I only use as a word to describe
The way I feel when I'm with you
If I have to lie about it everytime I came undressed

 

[Dubversion]

I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh, I'd step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous, alarming, courageous, charming
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be

Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance is simon smith and his dancing bear
They'll love us, won't they?
They feed us, don't they? Instant Song Lyrics
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It's just amazing how fair people can be

Who needs money when you're funny?
The big attraction everywhere
Will be simon smith and his dancing bear
It's simon smith and the amazing dancing bear

 

[Dubversion]

.. which looks absurd after May's Afghan Whigs lyric

 

[May Kasahara]

It's still a wicked song though.

*goes off to dig out Muppets vinyl*

 

[rollinder]

surprisingly a happy song

I’m leaving on the early train, the first one at the station
Find a place to sit me down and run things through my mind,
Another job, another town, an unknown destination,
Another dingy rooming house, somewhere down the line.

All I ever wanted was a reason to be happy,
Happiness can be so hard to find.
All I ever needed was for you to get to know me,
Everlasting shining peace of mind.

I’m tired of fighting for the things you often take for granted,
I’m tired of all the cheap talk in the bar rooms and saloons,
I’m heading out for pastures new where the eagle rules the canyon,
Down below the mesa, grow some scars upon my wounds.

All I ever wanted was a reason to be happy,
Happiness can be so hard to find.
All I ever need was for you to get to know me,
Everlasting shining peace of mind.

I’m leaving here to find somewhere that holds no false illusion,
Illusions are like promises, the same old hollow ring,
I’m leaving here for anywhere that offers me seclusion,
Live below the mountains, watch the eagle on the wing.

All I ever wanted was a reason to be happy,
Happiness can be so hard to find.
All I ever needed was for you to get to know me,
Everlasting shining peace of mind.

 

[ice-is-forming]

Why drink the water
from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards
your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.

Don't scream about
Don't think aloud
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out

Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.
Don't throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance and vanity.

December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
December songs no longer I sing

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on hear their cry


As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky

 

[Kizmet]

Doesn't matter.

[Firky]

Build yourself a castle
Keep your family safe from harm
Get into classical music
Raise rabbits on a farm

Log on in the night time
Drink a half-bottle of wine
Buy a couple of records
Look at naked girls from time to time

And people tell me
what a real nice guy you are
So come on, serenade me
on your acoustic guitar

And don't believe me
if I claim to be your friend
'cos given half the chance
I know that I will kill again
I will kill again

And wouldn't it be nice
for all the world to live in peace?
And no-one gets ill or ever dies
or dies of boredom at the very least

And people tell me
what a real nice guy you are
So come on, serenade me
on your acoustic guitar

And don't believe me
if I claim to be your friend
'cos given half the chance
I know that I will kill again
I will kill again

I will kill again
I will kill again
I will kill again
I will kill again

 

[Sweaty Betty]

Nobody knows the trouble you feel
Nobody cares, the feelin' is real
Johnny, we're sorry, won't you come on home
We worry, won't you come on
What is wrong in my life
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny, we're sorry won't you come on...
Use the phone, call your mom
She's missing you badly, missing her son
Who do you know, where will you stay
Big city life is not what they say
Johnny, we're sorry, won't you come on home
We worry, won't you come on
What is wrong in my life
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny, we're sorry won't you come on...
You'd better go, everything's closed
Can't find a room, money's all blown
Nowhere to sleep, out in the cold
Nothing to eat, nowhere to go
Johnny, we're sorry, won't you come on home
We worry, won't you come on
What is wrong in my life
That I must get drunk every night
Johnny, we're sorry won't you come on. home
We worry, won't you come on home...

 

[rollinder]

The church bell rings
An old drunk sings
A young girl hocks her wedding ring
Down on Rain Street

Down the alley the icewagon flew
Picked up a stiff that was turning blue
The local kids were sniffin' glue
Not much else for a kid to do
Down Rain Street

Father McGreer buys an ice cold beer
And a short for Father Loyola
Father Joe's got the clap again
He's drinking Coca-Cola
Down on Rain Street

Bless me Father I have sinned
I got pissed and I got pinned
And God can't help the shape I'm in
Down on Rain Street

There's a Tesco on the sacred ground
Where I pulled her knickers down
While Judas took his measly price
And St Anthony gazed in awe at Christ
Down on Rain Street

I gave my love a goodnight kiss
I tried to take a late night piss
But the toiled moved so again I missed
Down Rain Street

I sat on the floor and watched TV
Thanking Christ for the BBC
A stupid fucking place to be
Down Rain Street

I took my Eileen by the hand
Walk with me was her command
I dreamt we were walking on the strand
Down Rain Street

That night Rain Street went on for miles
That night on Rain Street somebody smiled

 

[rollinder]

The island it is silent now
But the ghosts still haunt the waves
And the torch lights up a famished man
Who fortune could not save

Did you work upon the railroad
Did you rid the streets of crime
Were your dollars from the white house
Were they from the five and dime

Did the old songs taunt or cheer you
And did they still make you cry
Did you count the months and years
Or did your teardrops quickly dry

Ah, no, says he, 'twas not to be
On a coffin ship I came here
And I never even got so far
That they could change my name

Thousands are sailing
Across the western ocean
To a land of opportunity
That some of them will never see
Fortune prevailing
Across the western ocean
Their bellies full
Their spirits free
They'll break the chains of poverty
And they'll dance

In Manhattan's desert twilight
In the death of afternoon
We stepped hand in hand on Broadway
Like the first man on the moon

And "The Blackbird" broke the silence
As you whistled it so sweet
And in Brendan Behan's footsteps
I danced up and down the street

Then we said goodnight to Broadway
Giving it our best regards
Tipped our hats to Mister Cohan
Dear old Times Square's favorite bard

Then we raised a glass to JFK
And a dozen more besides
When I got back to my empty room
I suppose I must have cried

Thousands are sailing
Again across the ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
Draws tickets in a lottery
Postcards we're mailing
Of sky-blue skies and oceans
From rooms the daylight never sees
Where lights don't glow on Christmas trees
But we dance to the music
And we dance

Thousands are sailing
Across the western ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
Draws tickets in a lottery
Where e'er we go, we celebrate
The land that makes us refugees
From fear of Priests with empty plates
From guilt and weeping effigies
And we dance

 

[Donna Ferentes]

O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen
und freudenvollere!

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken.
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

Wem der grosse Wurf gelungen
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein,
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen,
Mische seinen Jubel ein!
Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele
Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!
Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle
Weinend sich aus diesem Bund.

Freude trinken alle Wesen
An den Brüsten der Natur;
Alle Guten, alle Bösen,
Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.
Küsse gab sie uns und Reben,
Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;
Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,
Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!

Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen
Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan,
Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn,
Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen.

Seid umschlungen, Millionen.
Dieser Kuss der ganzen Welt!
Brüder! Über'm Sternenzelt
Muss ein lieber Vater wohnen.
Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen?
Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt?
Such ihn über'm Sternenzelt!
Über Sternen muss er wohnen.

Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten?
Won't you walk me through it all, darling?
Doesn't matter if it is raining
Won't you walk me through it all?

Even if the sun, it is blazing
Even if the snow, it is raging
All the elements, we must conquer
To get to the other side of town

I have suffered shipwreck against your dark brown eyes
I have run aground against your broken down smiles
Believe me when I tell you I have no place to go
But to go where the wild flowers grow and the stone gardens bloom.

Won't you walk me through the Tiergarten?
Won't you walk me through it all, darling?
Doesn't matter if it is raining,
We'll get to the other side of town.
