What lyrics are you listening to now? (pt2)

[MightyAphrodite]

Someday they'll find your small town world on a big town avenue
Gonna make you like the way they talk when they're talking to you
Gonna make you break out of YOUR shell cause they tell you to
Gonna make you like the way they lie better than the truth
They'll tell you everything you wanted someone else to say
They're gonna break your heart, yeah


From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

Somebody OUGHTA take you in
Try to make you love again
Try to make you like the way they feel
When they're under your skin
Never once did you think they would lie when they're holding you
You wonder why they haven't called
When they said they'd call you
You start to wonder if you're ever gonna make it by
You'll start to think you were born blind


From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

I'm here for the hard times
The straight to your heart times
When livin' ain't easy
You can stand up against me
And MAYBE rely on me
And cry on me, yeah

Some day they'll open up your world
Shake YOU down to the drawing board
Do their best to change you
They still can't erase you


From what I've seen
You're just one more hand me down
Cause no one's tried to give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down
I am with you now

Lay them down on me
Oh yeah
You're just one more hand me down
And all those nights don't give you what you need
So lay all your troubles down...on me

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe Im too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight youre on my mind so you never know

When Im broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage hes done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So Ill wait for you... and Ill burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

Its never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
Its never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
Its never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
Its never over, shes the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe Im just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh... lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And Im much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage Ive done
Sweet lover, you shouldve come over
Oh, love well Im waiting for you

Lover, you shouldve come over
cause its not too late

[tufty79]

In a village in the hills
House buried to the window sills in snow
In a prison yard at night
An Alsatian barking for the stars to go

In the attic of a house
In the slats of light which creep across the room
In a forest grove at dawn
Where the animals sleep hidden in the gloom

On the 97th floor overlooking Tokyo
In Camden road in a second floor flat with
Dilworth down below
There is only one thing
There is only one thing

In a cancer ward where the patients sit
Waiting patiently to die
In an aeroplane high above the place
You finally left behind

In a cage where only one thing could be free
And it's not you and I
In a cage where only one thing could be free
And it's not you and I

In every single place that has ever, ever been
Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between
There is only one thing
There is only one thing
One thing

In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
In the diary of a priest, in the sheets that lie upon his bed
Out there amongst the waves and inside your lover's head

There is only one thing [x6]
There is only one... thing

20 years asleep before we sleep... forever
20 years asleep before we sleep... forever...

Oh, the flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Floy doy, floy doy, floy doy.

Yeah, yeah yeah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah, oh, baby!
Yeah, byah, byah!

Whenever your cares are chronic,
Just tell the world, "go hang,"
You'll find a greater tonic,
If you go on swingin' with the gang!

Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Flat foot floogie with a floy, floy,
Floy, floy, floy, yeah!
Send me on out there!

[Shouting and muttering to the band.]

Whenever your cares are chronic,
Just tell the world, "go hang,"
You'll find a greater tonic,
If you go on stumblin' with the gang!
Hey, hey, hey, yes, yes!

Well, all right then; get those floy-floys straight!

^^^ GOOD CALL

Trudging slowly over wet sand
Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town
That they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come armageddon!
Come, armageddon! come!

Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Hide on the promenade
Etch a postcard :
How I dearly wish I was not here
In the seaside town
...that they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come - nuclear bomb

Everyday is like sunday
Everyday is silent and grey

Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands
(and on your face...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)
(on your face ...)

Everyday is like sunday
Win yourself a cheap tray
Share some greased tea with me
Everyday is silent and grey

MY VERY GOOD FRIEND THE MILKMAN
Fats Waller


My very good friend the milkman says
That I've been losing to much sleep
He doesn't like the hours I keep
And he suggests that you should marry me


My very good friend the mailman says
That it would make his burden less
If we both had the same address
And he suggests that you should marry me.


Then there's a very friendly fellow who prints
All the latest real estate news
And every day he sends me blueprints
Of cottages with country views


My very good friends the neighbours say
That they've been watching little things I do
And they perceive that I love you
So I suggest that you should marry me.

Fields of fire that passed the train
The sky is victorious but here comes the rain
Friday is taking me home again,
And I've nothing but you on my mind.

Grass is greener without the pain,
I think that I'm changing but I'm just the same
My sun is a ascending again
And I've nothing but you on my mind

Sometimes I feel like I'm glad to be free,
Sometimes I still want your arms around me
Sometimes I'm glad to have left you behind,
The Crazy English Summer has put you back on my mind.

Life's a riot a lover a friend,
Pity the day that it has to end
Friday comes speed me home again,
I've nothing but you on my Mind.

Sometimes I feel like i'm fine on my own,
Fifty Thousand miles from home.
Sometimes I'm weak and the past is my guide,
Summer returns and puts you back on my mind

 

[tufty79]

i didn't realise this was pink floyd - it used to be on my dad's tape with chris rea and dire straits, and i always thought it was a fuckin' knopfler song


On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we wont understand
Dont accept that whats happening
Is just a case of others suffering
Or youll find that youre joining in
The turning away

Its a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that were all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
Its not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that therell be
No more turning away?

 

[pengaleng]

Whether or not the weather is on my side
We could be together if I stay bright-eyed
I can feel the summer sending signs of fall
I see a happy ending if I stand up tall

Whether or not this cold front is moving in
Or it's just vacation and well soon be friends
I know I can't avoid her she's in the air
May as well polaroid her with the way I stare

Ooo tonight the stars are so bright
I've gotta get outdoors while the weather's still here
take in the starlight before it disappears
A chance lasts a finite time in the warm July night time
So take in all you can

Whether or not our season will soon be done
I think I've got a reason to enjoy the sun
I hear the forecast ain't as bad as it seems
It should be clearing up soon if only in dreams

Ooo tonight the stars are so bright
I've gotta get outdoors while the weather's still here
take in the starlight before it disappears
A chance lasts a finite time in the cool July night time
So take in all you can

I've gotta get outdoors while the weather's still here
take in the starlight before it disappears
A chance lasts a finite time in the cool July night time
So take in all you can

 

[tufty79]

Show me a place where I don't have to worry
And that's where I belong
Show me a place where I don't have to hurry
And that's where I belong
Give me the time, so I can change my mind
Where it don't matter if I'm wrong
Show me a place where I don't have to worry
And that's where I belong

 

[Belushi]

"It's in the trees!
It's coming!"

When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me...

the hounds of love are hunting me
I've always been a coward,
And I don't know what's good for me.

(Well) Here I go!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, someone!
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off,
And (i will) throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I found a fox
Caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

His little heart,
It beats so fast,
And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real--
I just can't deal with this,
But I'm still afraid to be this,

Among your hounds of love,
And feel your arms surrounding me.
I've always been a coward,
I never know what's good for me.

(well),here I go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, darling
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
I need la la la la la ya yo ya yo
Your love!

Take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake!

Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need la la la la la yeah!

 

[tufty79]

^^ that now (the futureheads version) - cheers!

 

[tufty79]

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

 

[lyra_k]

this very second? "hey hey hey!"

(the Dollyrots)

 

[tufty79]

I want you soft in the middle.
I see a strange and furious face.
I know your heart.
I want your pearly hand in my hair.
We make a strange and furious pair.
I want you locked in the middle.
I know your heart.
I know your heart.
It's just like mine was.
So you wanna know why I can't sleep.
You wanna know why I can't sleep.
You wanna know why I can't sleep.
Unless I've got a belly full of wine,
You show up in time for a bad time.
Mmm, 'less I've got a belly full of wine,
You show up and the world is wild.
I want your pearly little hand in my hair.
We make a strange and furious pair.
I want you pearly on the inside.
I know your heart.
I know your heart.
It's just like mine was.
So you wanna know why I can't sleep at night.
You wanna know why I can't sleep at night.
You wanna know why I can't sleep.
Unless I've got a belly full of wine,
You show up in time for a bad time.
Mmm, 'less I've got a belly full of wine,
You show up in tails for a bad time.
Mmm, 'less I've got my belly full of wine,
I'm drunk and the world is wild.
You got it.
Heaven in your hand,
You got it.
You got it,
Heaven in your hand.

 

[tufty79]

This old man Ive talked about
Broke his own heart,
Poured it in the ground.
Big red tree grew up and out,
Throw up its leaves,
Spins round and round.
I know all this and more.

So take your hat off
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs.
They put silver where her teeth had been.
Baby silvertooth,she grins and grins.
I know all this and more.

So take your hat off boy
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
Take your hat off boy
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

This old man I used to be
Spins around, around, around the tree.
Silver baby come to me.
I'll only hurt you in my dreams.

I know all this and...
I know all this and...
I know all this and more.

So take your hat off boy
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.
Take your hat off
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

 

[tufty79]

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss

We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and
Throw all the songs we know

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

(Ba ba-da...da da da da da...)

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this

I love you ... let's go
Oh ... solid gone ...
How could we miss someone as dumb
As this?

 

[tufty79]

Drivin' on nine
You could be a shadow
Beneath the street-light
Behind my home

Drivin' on nine
I sure miss you
Pass the motels
Looking at the pines

Drivin' on nine
Looking for one thirty
Maybe I passed it
Go another mile

Drivin' on nine [2x]

Drivin' on nine
I'll sure look pretty
In Carson City
Walking down the isle

Drivin' on nine
Does daddy have a shotgun
He said he'd never need one
Go another mile

Drivin' on nine

Drivin' on nine
Looking out my window sill
Wondering if I want you still
Wonderin' what's mine

Drivin' on nine

 

[pengaleng]

this is deffo for MA

When I see you again
Will it be the same
When I see you again
Will it be over
When I see you again
Will your great eyes still say

What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby, baby, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby, baby

So she walks slowly down the hall
There are many doors in the hallway
And she stares at the stairs
Ooh there are many things to stare at these days
If she sees him again
Will your very best friend
Will your very best friend
Oh, have been replaced by some other

What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby, baby, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby, baby

And the dream says I want you
And the dream is gone
So she stays up nights on end
Well at least there is a dream left

If I see you again
Will it be over
If I see you again
Will it be the same
If I see you again
Will it be over
Again and again
Over and over

classic.

 

[redsnapper]

such a mint track from a timeless LP...

Everythings not always great
Sometimes it`s just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it`s nine
No I ain`t the greatest
Sure there`s imperfections
And if you gave me a test
Might not pass the inspection
Everythings not always great
Sometimes it`s just fine
I ain`t with the 100 crowd
I`m with the 99

Nobody is perfect
Of this I am sure
I looked into the mirror
And I saw the floor

You can draw your own conclusion
But I`ll tell you mine
I ain`t with the 100 crowd
I`m with the 99

Nobody is perfect
That ain`t no jive
No one gets ten out of ten
You gotta strive for five
I won`t say that I`m the best
That you ever had
But the bit that has been good
Sure outweights the bad
Nobody is perfect
Tell you I don`t mind
If you ain`t in the 100 crowd
Join the 99
Got me some ambition
Just like all the rest
And I got a mission
But I`d settle for less

You can draw your own conclusion
But I`ll tell you mine
I ain`t with the 100 crowd
I`m with the 99
I ain`t with the 100 crowd
I`m with the 99

Hey hey now
Everythings not always great
Everythings not always great
Sometimes it`s just fine
Sometimes it`s just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it`s nine

Everythings not always great
Everythings not always great
Sometimes it`s just fine
Sometimes it`s just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it`s nine
Hey hey now

Everythings not always great
Everythings not always great
Sometimes it`s just fine
Sometimes it`s just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it`s nine

Everythings not always great
Everythings not always great
Sometimes it`s just fine
Sometimes it`s just fine
No one gets ten out of ten
Lucky if it`s nine

 

[tufty79]

not for him. in any way. but for the person i might meet one day. or myself

How dare the Premier ignore my invitations?
He'll have to go
So, too, the bunch he luncheons with
It's second on my list of things to do

At the top I'm stopping by
Your place of work and acting like
I haven't dreamed of you and I
And marriage in an orange grove
You are the only thing in any room you're ever in
I'm stubborn, selfish and too old.

I sat you down and told you how
the truest love that's ever found
Is for oneself
You pulled apart my theory
With a weary and disinterested sigh

So yes I guess I'm asking you
To back a horse that's good for glue
And nothing else
But find a man that's truer than,
Find a man that needs you more than I

Sit with me a while
And let me listen to you talk about
your dreams and your obsessions
I'll be quiet and confessional
The violets explode inside me
when I meet your eyes
Then I'm spinning and I'm diving
Like a cloud of starlings

Darling is this love?

 

[tufty79]

for when i wake up

Drinking in the morning sun
Blinking in the morning sun
Shaking off the heavy one
Heavy like a loaded gun

What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say
I can only think it must be love
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

Someone tell me how I feel
It's silly wrong but vivid right
Oh, kiss me like the final meal
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see the light
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Oh, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

When my face is chamois-creased
If you think I'll wink, I did
Laugh politely at repeats
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin

Cause holy cow, I love your eyes
And only now I see you like
Yeah, lying with me half-awake
Stumbling over what to say
Well, anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day

So throw those curtains wide!
One day like this a year'd see me right!

 

[MightyAphrodite]

you want me to go to hell so bad?

youre from there, draw me a map

beat em down for laughs,coughing up blood and whiskey...

 

[tufty79]

^^ 'm hoping they's lyrics...

Pull the final splinters
Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a break
What's the fascination
With lovers at the station
You have to tear yourself away

Chorus
The dream again nobody understands
Walking through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it off

Words to make her stay: you said
Leave me and the plants die
A panic smile across your face
Corrugated browline
The hissing bitter punchline
Call when you can tie your lace

You rule my world my brother
You rule my world compare

 

[MightyAphrodite]

^^ 'm hoping they's lyrics...

they are ....its an unreleased song.....i shouldve put the whole song up (lyrics i mean).....that did look bad now that you mention it x

 

[tufty79]

before you edited, all i saw was 'coughing up blood and whisky'...

right , off to bed with this in the background

Now I know why
you're floating away
like a white balloon
untied today or last night

I like the sounds
you when you sleep
like you're eating a meal
grinding your teeth or just breathing

Oh my stars
Crying, "Oh my stars!"
Oh my stars
Can't strangle anyone who has light
in their life

Put your mouth here on my belly
Put your fingers in my hair
After mountains there are valleys
We can fall asleep there

Sometimes it's hard
thinking about how the plans we made
won't happen today or tonight

I'm trying real hard
to not make you feel
like you've done something wrong
by leaving the chips open

(I won't wake you up)
Singing, "Oh my stars"
Oh my stars
Oh my stars
Can't strangle all my friends and their wives
and their sons' wives

Put your neck here on your best friend's
Hold your mouth up to the phone
Use the seatbelt like a bookend
We can sleep when we get home

 

[MightyAphrodite]

right back atcha teeps ...lightning strikes...maybe once? maybe twice? x

When I see you again
Will it be the same
When I see you again
Will it be over
When I see you again
Will your great eyes still say

What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby, baby, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby
What's the matter, baby, baby

So she walks slowly down the hall
There are many doors in the hallway
And she stares at the stairs
Ooh there are many things to stare at these days

And the dream is gone
So she stays up nights on end
Well at least there is a dream left

If I see you again
Will it be over
Again and again
Over and over

classic.

yes x

i was just playing this, after reading that down there a few minutes ago*...

So Im back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was
To the gypsy... that I was

And it all comes down to you
Well, you know that it does
Well, lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
Ah, and it lights up the night
And you see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

To the gypsy that remains faces freedom with a little fear
I have no fear, I have only love
And if I was a child
And the child was enough
Enough for me to love
Enough to love

She is dancing away from me now
She was just a wish
She was just a wish
And a memory is all that is left for you now
You see your gypsy
You see your gypsy

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you
I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
And it all comes down to you

I still see your bright eyes, bright eyes
(she was just a wish)
(she was just a wish)
And it all comes down to you

Lightning strikes, maybe once, maybe twice
And it all comes down to you.




(*I just saw them perform last week and they were amazing and sounded best I've ever heard them sound.
She said this song was about when she would take her mattress off from her bed frame and lay on the floor and dream, dream about what she would be doing if she had never been a singer.
She also said don't get me wrong, I love this and you all know that, but that's a little background on the song. )

I love no one
And no one loves me
I love no one
And no one loves me

I'm missing
I'm missing
I'm missing
I'm missing gah

I want no one
And no one wants me
I want no one
And no one wants me

I love no one
And no one loves me
I love no one
And no one loves me

I'm missing
I'm missing

[tufty79]

Your flirt finds me out
Teases the crack in me
Smittens me with hope

Possibly maybe possibly maybe
possibly maybe

As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Sometimes
Sometimes

Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love

Uncertainty excites me
babe
Who knows what's going to happen?
Lottery or car crash
Or you'll join a cult

Probably maybe possibly love
Probably maybe possibly love, possibly

Mon petit vulcan
You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm admiring your lava
I keep calm

Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love

Electric shocks?
I love them!
With you --> dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
Where is it?

Possibly maybe probably love, possibly
Possibly maybe probably love, possibly

How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burned
How can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted
Leave me alone

Possibly maybe possibly maybe
Possibly maybe

Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I suck my tongue
In remembrance of you...
