JohnK · Pieces of me you've never seen

Crazy
Patsy Cline

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

Sleeps With Butterflies
Tori Amos

Airplanes
Take you away again
Are you flying
Above where we live
Then I look up a glare in my eyes
Are you having regrets about last night
I'm not but I like rivers that rush in
So then I dove in
Is there trouble ahead
For you the acrobat
I won't push you unless you have a net

You say the word
You know I will find you
Or if you need some time
I don't mind
I don't hold on
To the tail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly then boy

Balloons
Look good from on the ground
I fear with pins and needles around
We may fall then stumble
Upon a carousel
It could take us anywhere

I'm not like the girls that you've known
But I believe I'm worth coming home to
Kiss away night
This girl only sleeps with butterflies
With butterflies
With butterflies
So go on and fly boy

falafel · Gay Lord

Nice and simple and cozy.

Brand New Colony
The Postal Service

I'll be the grapes, fermented,
Bottled and served with a table set
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman.
I'll be the fire escape
That's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day.

I'll be the waterwings
That save you if you start drowning
In an open tap, when your judgement's on the brink.
I'll be the phonograph
That plays your favourite albums back
As you’re lying there, drifting off to sleep...

I'll be the platform shoes,
Undo what heredity's done to you.
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes.
I'll be your winter coat,
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat,
With the collar up so you won't catch a cold.

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth.
We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony, where everything will change.
We'll give ourselves new names; identities erased,
The sun will heat the ground under our bare feet
In this brand new colony.

Oxygen
Willy Mason

I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.

On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.

I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten America?
Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Make up and hair to the truth behind every face
That look around to all the people you see,
How many of them are happy and free?
I know it sounds like a dream
But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night
I know it's hard to believe
But it's easy to see that something here isn't right
I know the future looks dark
But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light.

On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.

If i'm afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and i'll float them down the river stream
Each one i weave with words i speak to carry love to your relief.

I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.

On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew

Ocean Spray
Manic Street Preachers

It's easy to see, it's easy to see
To see only white where colour should be
It's easy to feel, it's easy to feel
But it's not good enough, even though it's real

Oh please stay away
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray

It's easy to breathe, it's easy to grieve
To breathe only air where life should be
It's easy to laugh, it's easy to cry
To cry so so hard that it can't be denied

Oh please stay awake
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray

ChipsAndLube · Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine.

I can't see New York
Tori Amos

from here
no lines are
drawn
from here
no lands
are owned
13,000 and holding
swallowed
in the purring
of her engines
tracking the beacon
here
"is there a signal
there
on the other side"
on the other side?
what do you mean
side of what things?
and you said
and you did
and you said
you could find me here
and you said
you would find me
even in death
and you said
and you said
you'd find me
but i can't see new york
as i'm, circling down
through white cloud
falling out
and i know
his lips are warm
but i can't seem
to find my way out
my way out i can't see.
of this hunting ground
from here crystal meth
in metres of millions
in the end all we have,
soul blueprint.
did we get lost in it
do we conduct a search
for this "from the other side"
from the other side?
what do they mean
side of what things...
and you said.
you again
it's you again
i can't see
i can't see new york
from the other side
from the other side
i hum from the other side

All these accidents
That happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence
Makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak
I feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

State of emergency
How beautiful to be!
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

All that no-one sees
You see
What's inside of me
Everywhere that hurts
You heal
Deep inside of me, oo-oohh
You don't have to speak
I feel
Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me - confuse
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this:

State of emergency
How beautiful to be!
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

JohnK · Pieces of me you've never seen

I prefer this Bij-orc song:

Bachelorette
Bjork

I’m a fountain of blood (my love)
In the shape of a girl
You’re the bird on the brim (my love)
Hypnotized by the whirl
Drink me - make me real (my love)
Wet your beak in the stream
The game we’re playing is life (my love)
Love is a two way dream
Leave me now - return tonight
The tide will show you the way
Forget my name go astray
Killer whale trapped in a bay
(the ocean miles away)
I’m a path of cinders (my love)
Burning under your feet
You’re the one who walks me (my love)
I’m your one way street
I’m a tree that grows hearts (my love)
One for each that you take
Your the ground I feed on (my love)
We’re circle noone can break
Leave me now - return tonight
The tide will show you the way
Forget my name go astray
Killer whale trapped in a bay
(the ocean miles away)
I’m a whisper in water (my love)
A secret for you to hear
You are the one who grows distant (my love)
When I beckon you near
Life is a necklace of fears (my love)
Your uncried tears on a string
Our love will untie them - come here (my love)
Loving me is the easiest thing

JohnK · Pieces of me you've never seen

Here's another song I like:

The Space Between
Zero 7

Now that you're older
Taking the time to look
Back over your shoulder
On the days confusion took

Now that you're wiser
Surely you've learned to read it
You should know
No surface shines brighter
Than the light that burns beneath it

Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for

Now that I've seen you
Stripped to the very core
I know that I need you
Less than I did before

Never so sure
We always take more
Though we still don't know what it's for

JohnK · Pieces of me you've never seen

Here is a cool song that they play at Razzmatazz sometimes - the lyrics are hilarious, the song is even better!

You Made Me Gay
Gravy Train

I got somethin to say! (what?)
Im kinda gay! (yeah?)
I like to get paid and have sex for days (no!)
So listen up ladies
I like guyz and hate babies
If you get me real drunk
Ill go for the junk in the trunk
You want me bigtime, I only want you minitime
But then I see Matt Dillon and I want it HUGETIME!
You open up your lips and try to seal my doom
So I make a beeline straight to the menz room

I thought you were cute
I thought your ass was fine
But then I took down your pants
And I said NEVER MIND!!!!

Dont even try to play me bitch
Dont even try to front
You think that you want dong
But I know you want wet ****
And there you go

Of COURSE I want the dick!!!!

But theres somethin in my pants

But menz aint got no pussy
They aint got no vagina

Kate Bush - Moments of Pleasure

Some moments that I've had
Some moments of pleasure
I think about us lying
Lying on a beach somewhere
I think about us diving
Diving off a rock, into another moment
The case of George the Wipe
Oh God I can't stop laughing
This sense of humour of mine
It isn't funny at all
Oh but we sit up all night
Talking about it

Just being alive
It can really hurt
And these moments given
Are a gift from time

On a balcony in New York
It's just started to snow
He meets us at the lift
Like Douglas Fairbanks
Waving his walking stick
But he isn't well at all
The buildings of New York
Look just like mountains through the snow

Just being alive
It can really hurt
And these moments given
Are a gift from time
Just let us try
To give these moments back
To those we love
To those who will survive

And I can hear my mother saying
Every old sock meets an old shoe
Isn't that a great saying?
Every old sock meets an old shoe

Here come the Hills of Time
Hey there Maureen,
Hey there Bubba,
Dancing down the aisle of a plane,
'S Murph, playing his guitar refrain,
Hey there Teddy,
Spinning in the chair at Abbey Road,
Hey there Michael,
Do you really love me?
Hey there Bill,
Could you turn the lights up?

Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing. Hallelujah

Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before i knew you
I've seen you flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah

Maybe theres a God above
And all I ever learnt from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody whos seen the light
Its a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah
Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah.Hallelujah

Paradise Lost

Across the desert sands, i watch a caravan
And dream it could take me to you
As the east wind blows, i shiver to my bones
And all i can think of is you

I still feel you here, the memories so clear
So don't go forgetting my love
How we learned to be free, how we dreamed the same dream
Now nothings what it seems

Paradies lost is a place without you
In the shadow of love theres no room with a view
Walking alone on the sand
Wish you were hear again

I watch the sun go down and head back into town
The same way i used to with you
And up and down these streets, the music sounds so sweet
But it always reminds me of you

I still feel you here, the memories so clear
So don't go forgetting my love
How we learned to be free, how we dreamed the same dream
Now nothings what it seems

Paradies lost is a place without you
In the shadow of love theres no room with a view
Walking alone on the sand
Wish you were hear again

Phil · I didn't buy it!

Hungry - Kosheen

You're like a child with old eyes,
cynical and sensible, always full of surprises
you travel far and wide
looking for the feeling, lost inside you

They don't understand you, no
until it's too late
with everything they've handed you
on a silver plate

Are you hungry for a little more
than what you've had before?
Are you hungry for a taste of life?
whet your appetite, are you hungry?

Now give me this mountainside
cool waters to lie beside
give me these two strong eyes
to see the difference between truth and lies
Ah, give me this feeling when you kiss me baby
every day and every night
That's all I need, yes
Everything is gonna be all right

Are you hungry for a little more
than what you've had before?
Are you hungry for a taste of life?
whet your appetite, are you hungry?

You're like a sight for sore eyes, lyrical and gentle
borderlining sentimental
You're like a dream realised
so why do I keep falling back to sleep,
I'm so serious and deep.

LeAnn Rimes
The Right Kind Of Wrong

Know all about
About your reputation
And how it's bound to be a heartbreak situation
But I can't help it if I'm helpless
Every time that I'm where you are

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know, I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much

Loving you isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
That I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Yeah baby you're the right kind of wrong

Might be a mistake
A mistake I'm making
But what you're giving I am happy to be taking
Cause no one's ever made me feel
The way I feel when I'm in your arms

They say you're something I should do without
They don't know what goes on
When the lights go out
There's no way to explain
All the pleasure is worth all the pain

Loving you isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
That I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Yeah baby you're the right kind of wrong

I should try to run
But I just can't seem to
Cause everytime, I run you're the on I run to
Can't do without, what you do to me
I don't care if I'm in too deep

Know all about
About your reputation
And how its' bound to be a heartbreak situation
But I can't help it if I'm helpless
Every time that I'm where you are

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it anymore
Oh I know I should go
But I need your touch just too damn much

Loving you isn't really something I should do
Shouldn't wanna spend my time with you
That I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Yeah baby you're the right kind of wrong

This is a song which I find is very emotionally touching and profound...

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

ChipsAndLube · Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine.

*claps phil*

and no, rufus does it better than KD lang x

JohnK · Pieces of me you've never seen

Rufus's version is bland to say the least. Have you actually heard the KD Lang one Dave or are you simply dismissing it because you want to bum Rufus / hate Lesleybeans?

Adam · *Censored*

When it comes to Hallelujahs - the order of goodness has to go

KD Lang (amazing)
Sheryl Crow (bad recording, but really well done)
Jeff Buckley (amazing guitar intro and solo)
Leonard Cohen (very original to say the least, and good in a weird way)
Rufus Wainwright (bland)

-- Edited by Adam at 00:57, 2005-02-01

ChipsAndLube · Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine.

his voice just makes me cream my panties. KD lang's on the other hand does nothing for me

Adam · *Censored*

that would be embarrasing if you met him in the supermarket

Phil · I didn't buy it!

haha. havent heard the KD Lang version fully. but i dont think rufus' version is bland. yep, i agree dave, he has a very lovely voice!! wainwright all the way. woo woo xx

Actually, Rufus Wainwright's version of hallelujah isn't the worst, Bob Dylan did a bad live cover of it.

India Arie: Ready for Love

I am ready for love,
Why are you hiding from me?
I’d quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity.

I am ready for love,
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace.

Lately I’ve been thinking maybe
You’re not ready for me,
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
Cos you might receive,
But if you ask me tomorrow
I’d say the same thing.

I am ready for love,
Would you please lend me your ear,
I promise I won’t complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here.

If you give me half a chance I will prove this to you:
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music,
A man who loves art,
Respects the spirit world
And thinks with his heart.

I am ready for love,
If you’ll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can.

I am ready for love,
Here with an offering of
My voice, my eyes, my soul, my mind
Tell me what is enough to prove I am ready for love?

Damien Rice: Cheers Darlin

Cheers darlin, here’s to you and your lover boy
Cheers darlin, I’ve got years to wait around for you
Cheers darlin, I got your wedding bells in my ears
Cheers darlin, you gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away.

I die when you mention his name,
And I lie, I should’ve kissed when we were running in the rain,
What am I darlin?
A whisper in your ear, a piece of your cake?
What am I darlin?
A boy you can feel or your biggest mistake?

Cheers darlin, here’s to you and your lover man
Cheers darlin, I’ll just hang around and eat from a can
Cheers darlin, I’ve got a ribbon of green on my guitar
Cheers darlin, I got a beauty queen to sit not very far from me

I die when he calls round to take you home
I’m too shy, I should’ve kissed you when we were alone,
What am I darlin?
A whisper in your ear, a piece of your cake?
What am I darlin?
A boy you can feel or your biggest mistake?
What am i?
Here’s to you and your lover boy
What am i?
Cheers darlin,
I’ve got ideas to take you down.

My favouritist song in the whole world ever.

Jeff Buckley: Lover, you should’ve come over

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners,
Parading in the wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water.
Maybe I’m too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight, you’re on my mind so, you never know.
Broken down and hungry for you love, but no way to feed it,
When are you naughty, 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,
He feels like he should be having his fun,
Much to blind to see the damage he’s done,
Sometimes a man must awake to find he really has no-one.

So I wait for you, and I’ll burn,
Will I ever see your sweet return?
Will I ever learn?
Oh lover, you should’ve come over.
Cos it’s not too late.

Lonely is the road that 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 won’t ever come.
It’s never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon the shoulder
It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It’s never over, she’s the tear that hangs inside my soul for ever.

But maybe I’m just too young to keep good love from going wrong.
Lover, you should’ve come over
I feel too young to hold on, I’m much too old to break fee and run
Too deaf dumb and blind to see the damage I’ve done
You see, lover, you should’ve come over
I’ll wait for you
Lover, you should’ve come over
It’s not too late

JohnK · Pieces of me you've never seen

Sometimes the simplest songs are the nicest:

Cry

Never thought you knew me
never thought of you with me
always fighting in the dark
before

never got to tell you
I don't know what I mean to you
no need to explain
anymore

but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry

when I think about us
it's only me that comes between us
it's only me that
closes the door

but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry

and you know you held me up
held me to the sun
when I was yours
and I know I let you down
let you down
the day that I was gone

but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry
but I'd cry
I would die if I lost you
and I'd cry

ChipsAndLube · Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine.

oxygen

Short sleeves and warm skin
losing coins calling next of kin
dropping words about the city we're in
ponds compressed by heavy air
us without care just sprawling there
god's in our world

airports and undergrounds
waiting to find the unfound
rising to pure insanity
here when you want me true love
has no simplicity
god's in our world

you and i
we're going so high
the air is getting thin
but our land does not breathe in
we don't need oxygen
it's dreams that binds us and locks us in
the rest are impaled by sense

Duran Duran - Ordinary World

Came in from a rainy thursday on the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly.
I turned on the lights, the tv and the radio
Still I can’t escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some’d say,
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away...

But I won’t cry for yesterday, there’s an ordinary world,
Somehow I have to find.
And as I try to make my way, to the ordinary world...
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride’s gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away,
Left me in the vacuum of my heart.
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some’d say,
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away...

(chorus)

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
Here today, forgot tomorrow
Ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need
Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(just blown away...)

And I don’t... (chorus)

Every world, is my world... (I will learn to survive)
Any world, is my world ... (I will learn to survive)

Any world, is my world...
Every world is my world...

BAT OUT OF HELL (this may take a while) meat loaf

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There’s a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There’s evil in the air and there’s thunder in the sky
And a killer’s on the bloodshot streets
And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young boy
Down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat
Oh baby you’re the only thing in this whole world
That’s pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There’s always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it’s over you know
We’ll both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight’s shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you

I’m gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver black phantom bike
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
And we’re all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotten old hole
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks
And nothing really rolls
And nothing’s ever worth the cost
And I know that I’m damned if I never get out
And maybe I’m damned if I do
But with any other beat I got left in my heart
You know I’d rather be damned with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night with you
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
If gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night with you

Oh baby you’re the only thing in this whole world
That’s pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There’s always gonna be some light
But I gotta get out
I gotta break it out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it’s over you know
We’ll both be so alone

Like a bat out of hell
I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight’s shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you

I can see myself
Tearing up the road
Faster than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is rough but my soul is ripe
And no one’s gonna stop me now
I gotta make my escape
But I can’t stop thinking of you
And I never see the sudden curve until it’s way too late
I never see the sudden curve until it’s way too late

Then I’m dying on the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Breaking out of my body
And flying away
Like a bat out of hell

Then I’m dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell
Like a bat out of hell

ChipsAndLube · Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine.

NickyDyke85 · YouCanaeSmokeNayHashOn'Ere!

Divinal - Touch Myself

Ohhhhhhh I dont want anybody else
when i think about u i touch myself

thats the only part of the song i know

ChipsAndLube · Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine.

The Pixies - Where is my mind?

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rocks
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

EmilyL · Hallo, My Name's Goody

the words to this song always make me feel better.

No Matter What - Boyzone
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what

If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say

No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true

And I will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need

No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

shymike · I don't vote Tory!

uplifting it may be, but it's still boyzone.

also, not quite sure about the wisdom of this verse:

is it a good idea to get teenage girls believing that? they believe that gareth gates is god incarnate, and sparkly nail varnish will get them laid. they'll only be disappointed.

EmilyL · Hallo, My Name's Goody

I've always loved the lyrics and images of this song.

These Dreams by* 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

EmilyL · Hallo, My Name's Goody

Oh well. It helped me through a very bad time when it was released. If silly girls want to believe that Gareth Gates is good/God then they are just silly....

EmilyL · Hallo, My Name's Goody

Sorry about all the lyrics I'm putting on, keep thinking of songs I like..
Here's another couple that I find very touching. Plus I think the sentiment behind 'That's What Friends Are For - Dionne Warwick+others is lovely..but I've given up searching for lyrics now!...

The Colour Of My Love - celine dion (shymike does this cue another groan?)

I'll paint my mood in shades of blue
Paint my soul to be with you
I'll sketch your lips in shaded tones
Draw your mouth to my own

I'll draw your arms around my waist
Then all doubt I shall erase
I'll paint the rain that softly
lands on your wind-blown hair

I'll trace a hand to wipe your tears
A look to calm your fears
A silhouette of dark and light
While we hold each other oh so tight

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we'll never part
That's the colour of my love

I'll paint the truth
Show how I feel
Try to make you completely real
I'll use a brush so light and fine
To draw you close and make you mine

I'll paint a sun to warm your heart
Swearing that we'll never part
That's the colour of my love

I'll draw the years all passing by
So much to learn so much to try

And with this ring our lives will start
Swearing that we'll never part
I offer what you cannot buy
Devoted love until we die

and..
If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms

shymike · I don't vote Tory!

man, they're so, like, deep.

You have so many relationships in this life,
But only one or two will last.
You go through all the pain and strife,
Then you turn your back and they’re gone so fast.

Oh yeah. they’re gone so fast.

Oh, so hold on to the ones who really care,
In the end they’ll be the only ones there.
When you get old and start losing your hair,
Can you tell me who will still care?
Can you tell me who will still care? oh care.

Chorus:

Mmmbop, ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do. oh yeah,
Mmmbop ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do bop,
Ba duba dop ba do

Oh yeah, in an mmmbop they’re gone. yeah.

Plant a seed, plant a flower,
Plant a rose, you can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
It’s a secret no one knows.
Oh, no one knows.

(repeat chorus twice....)

JohnK · Pieces of me you've never seen

I really think music and lyrics are about what they mean to you - just coz someone else might think a song is crappy, it doesn't mean it is.

I like the Celine one.

I hate Daniel Bedingfield

ChipsAndLube · Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine.

and mike blatently is a huuuuge paedophile fan of the three hanson birds

that's me told.

EmilyL · Hallo, My Name's Goody

Mike, please read the following lyrics that I feel are truly inspired!!

Weird Al Yancovich - Amish Paradise (to tune of Gangstas Paradise)

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me
You know, I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I'm milkin' cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows... fool
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
I've churned butter once or twice
Living in an Amish paradise
It's hard work and sacrifice
Living in an Amish paradise
We sell quilts at discount price
Living in an Amish paradise

A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and turned the other cheek
I really don't care, in fact I wish him well
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when he's burning in hell
But I ain't never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An Amish with a 'tude? You know that's unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree I really look good in black... fool
If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears
We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we ain't really quaint, so please don't point and stare
We're just technologically impaired

There's no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Caruso
It's as primative as can be

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're just plain and simple guys
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no time for sin and vice
Living in an Amish paradise
We don't fight, we all play nice
Living in an Amish paradise

Hitchin' up the buggy, churnin' lots of butter
Raised a barn on Monday, soon I'll raise another
Think you're really rightous? Think you're pure in heart?
Well, I know I'm a million times as humble as thou art
I'm the pious guy the little Amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin' points for the afterlife
So don't be vain and don't be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie

We been spending most our lives
Living in an Amish paradise
We're all crazy Mennonites
Living in an Amish paradise
There's no cops or traffic lights
Living in an Amish paradise
But you'd probably think it bites
Living in an Amish paradise

Pretty Fly For A Rabbi (to the tune of Pretty Fly For A White Guy)

Veren zol fun dir a blintsa

(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
And all the goyim say I'm pretty fly for a rabbi

Meccha leccha hi, meccha hiney hiney ho

Our temple's had a fair share of rabbis in the past
But most of 'em were nudniks and none of 'em would last
But our new guy's real kosher, I think he'll do the trick
I tell ya, he's to dies for - he really knows his shtick

So how's by you? Have you seen this Jew?
Reads the Torah, does his own accounting too
Workin' like a dog at the synagogue
He's there all day, he's there all day
Just say "Vay iz mir!" and he'll kick into gear
He'll bring you lots of cheer and maybe bagels with some shmeer
Just grab your yarmulka and
Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!

(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
And all the goyim say I'm pretty fly (for a rabbi)

He shops at discount stores, not just any will sufice
He has to find a bargain 'cause he won't pay retail price
He never acts meshugga and he's hardly a schlemiel
But if you wanna haggle, oy, he'll make you such a deal!

People used to scoff, now they say "Mazel tov!"
He's such a macher 'cause he worked his tuchis off
Yeah, he keeps his cool and teaches shul
What's not to like? What's not to like?
On high holy days, you know he prays and prays
And he never eats pastrami on white breath with mayonnaise
Put on your yarmulka and
Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!

When he's doing a Bar Mitzvah, now that you shouldn't miss
He'll always shlep on down for a wedding or a briss
They say he's got a lot of chutzpah, he's really quite hhhhhip
The parents pay the moyl and he gets to keep the tip

(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey
(How ya doin' Bernie?) Oy vey, oy vey

Meccha leccha hi, meccha meccha cholly ho

He's doin' well, I gotta kvell
The yentas love him, even shicksas think he's swell
Show up at his home, he says "Shalom"
And "Have some cake - you want some cake?"
Yah, he calls the shots, we really love him lots
Oy gevalt, I'm so ferklempt that I could plotz
So grab your yarmulka
The one you got for Chanukah
Let's put on our yarmulkas and
Hey! Hey! Do that Hebrew thing!

Ebay (to the tune of 'I want it that Way' by Backstreet Boys)

Yeah
A used ... pink bathrobe
A rare ... mint snowglobe
A Smurf ... TV tray
I bought on eBay

My house ... is filled with this crap
Shows up in bubble wrap
Most every day
What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee)
They had it on eBay

I'll buy ... your knick-knack
Just check ... my feedback
"A++!" they all say
They love me on eBay

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I've never met in Norway
Found him on eBay

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what erev'll please
As long as I've got the dough

I'll buy ... your tchotchkes
Sell me ... your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy ...)
I'm highest bidder now

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
Oh yeah ... (I bought it on eBay)

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case on vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
(Found it on eBay)

Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcet poster)
(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don't know why ... the kind of stuff you'd throw away)
(I'll buy on eBay)

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

Eat It (to tune of Beat It - MJ)

How come you're always such a fussy young man?
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raison Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it
Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it
Don't you tell me you're full

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are some cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it
You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it
I don't care if you're full

Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter it it's fresh or tanned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's broiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Another One Rides The Bus (to tune of Another One Bites the Dust)

Ridin' in a bus down the boulevard
And the place was pretty packed
Couldn't find a seat so I had to stand
With the perverts in the back
It was smellin' like a locker room
There was junk all over the floor
We're already packed in like sardines
But we're stoppin' to pick up more
Look out

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
And another comes on
And another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey
He's gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus

There's a suitcase pokin' me in the ribs
There's an elbow in my ear
There's a smelly old bum standin' next to me
Hasn't showered in a year
Well, I think I'm missin' a contact lens
I think my wallet's gone
And I think this bus is stoppin' again
To let a couple more freaks get on
Look out

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
And another comes on
And another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey
He's gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus

Yeah

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus, ow
Another one rides the bus, hey, hey
Another one rides the bus, hey

The window doesn't open, and the fan is broke
And my face is turnin' blue
I haven't been in a crowd like this
Since I went to see The Who
Well, I should've got off a couple miles ago
But I couldn't get to the door
There isn't any room for me to breathe
Now we're gonna pick up more, yeah

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
And another comes on
And another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey
He's gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus

shymike · I don't vote Tory!

loved pretty fly for a rabbi.
and i'm sorry i was so rude about the songs that mean something to you. i'm sure we can all learn a lot about life from disposable pop.
that said, i actually quite like the daniel beddingfield one.
