then post lyrics of your own for the next poster to guess.
Tell me that you want the kind of things,
That money just can't buy....
"Can't buy me love" - The Beatles
...And the southern girls with the way they talk...
California Girls
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive
Can't You Hear Me Knocking - Rolling Stones
Too tall Annie kept her money
In a Bible she never read
They found Lefty, her first ex-husband,
In his new pickup truck at the bottom of the riverbed
"Wild Wind" Robert Earl Keen (cool! is that where you alias came from?)
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
l.a. woman - doors
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
"Maria" Leonard Bernstein
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I feel lucky
Please don't ask me what went wrong
I never planned it to come out like this
Silent moments, thoughtless words
I never wanted these memories
"Joanna" Cliff Richard
Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
Well, I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead
"Last Caress" (?) It's Metallica
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me
You got the song right, but it's The Misfits, although I believe Metallica covered it.
Is that Dysturbed? The Sickness song (can't remember if that's the actual title)?
"Wow!" said the broken Californian down
On the beach that used to be by the beach
Town hasn't moved but's getting closer, losing ground
Making better views and close relaxing sounds
Ground sure don't like the way it's treated so now
It's moving back to the sea

"Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky,
A dream come true, I'll live there till I die.
I'm asking you to say my last goodbye.
The love we knew ain't worth another try."
Castles in the Air
All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutters
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
"The Pass" by Rush
I've been baptized by your voice.
it screams from deep beneath the endless water.
and it's half as high as heaven
and half as clear as reason.
it's cold and and black like silt on the riverbed.
But I'm so comfortable.
Far too comfortable.
Why don't you kill me,
I'm weak and numb and insignificant,
and I'm back on my knees.
lost in euphoria.
undertow
Oh you can't take it with you
That's one thing for sure
There ain't nothin' in the world
That the T-Bone Shuffle won't cure
Quote(cool! is that where you alias came from?)
Yes. :)
Boz Skaggs
All around is anger automatic guns
It's death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
I tried talking to Jesus but He just put me on hold
Said He'd been swamped by calls this week
And He couldn't shake His cold
Beautiful world
(it was T-bone Walker "T-bone shuffle")
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

Beautiful world
(it was T-bone Walker "T-bone shuffle")
Yep. By Colin Hay. I heard it on Scrubs and had to look it up. I think probably more than one person has covered the T Bone Shuffle. :)
Here's one I like to listen to on the first warm winter/spring day. It's an easy one. :)
Walk along the river, sweet lullaby, it just keeps on flowing,
It don't worry 'bout where it's going
Don't fly, mister blue bird, I'm just walking down the road,
Early morning sunshine tell me all I need to know
Blue Sky
"There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away
the whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder."
Back Home Again - John Denver
(I've always liked John Denver - especially since I moved from WV because of his song "Country roads".)
Well, Ive been haunted in my sleep
You've been starring in my dreams
Miss You - Rolling Stones
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
(About the time the door knob broke)
When you asked how I was doing
Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name
Right now I can't read too good
Don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them from...
Desolation Row -- Bob Dylan
Try these lyrics:
The beer was empty and our
tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.
Just for a moment I was
back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make
my way back home
The snow turned into rain --
I love that song, FTW!!
Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg
How about these?:
The first time my heart was ever touched
Was the day I lost your love
I can feel it in my flesh and blood
My soul can only take it so much
So there it is. Why can't you give us one more try
You and I could find a way to live
If you let me in one more time
Breakin' me (I don't know if it's a cover, but Johnny Lang)
It's not what you got, It's what you give
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live
It's only what you give
It's not what you got
But the life you live
It's the life you live
What You Give - Tesla
Just this side of Devil's Dream, above the sulphur mine
I found the man who robbed me of the girl I loved and lost
I asked him before he died what made him cross the line
He asked me did I mean the line I just stepped across?
For Love - Robert Earl Keen
I can't believe what you're doing to me
Just can't believe what you're doing
All of the lies you want me to believe
Who do you think you're fooling?
I give up. No, that's not the name of the song. :) I don't recognize and can't find it.
"2 Late 4 Goodbyes" - Jeff Beck
I can't believe what u're doing 2 me
Just can't believe what u're doing
All of the lies u want me 2 believe
Who do u think u're fooling?
Lately u got me thinking
Oh, why go on?
It�s all so plain 2 see
& I think we both agree that it's much...
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 goodbyes, oh it's much...
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 the lonely tears u cry
Nobody wins once the games all begin
Nobody�s into u're thinking
Your masquerade is the card that u play
Drowned by the bluff you're bringing
No truth 2 your confession
When will it end?
U were once my only 1
But now the damage is done, now it's much...
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 goodbyes, oh it's much...
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 the lonely tears u cry
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 goodbyes, oh it's much...
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 the lonely tears u cry
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 goodbyes, oh it's much...
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 the lonely tears u cry
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 goodbyes, oh it's much...
Much 2 late (it's much 2 late) 4 the lonely tears u cry
Here's another tune:
Must be getting early, clock are running late.
Paint my love a morning sky, it's all cold.
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains I don't care, but it's alright
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.
Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead (I can relate to this one) :)
You're laying low, staying outta sight
Hanging out in your room
You're up all night by the monitor's light
Sleeping through the afternoon
Well, I won't tell you how you gotta be
You're old enough to make a choice
It's just that in between all the words on the screen
I doubt you'll ever hear a human voice
"Walk Between the Raindrops" James McMurty
Time... I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life...
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me...
Stephen Bishop......"All of My Life"
If the sky above you...
Should turn dark and full of clouds....
And that old north wind should begin to blow....
Keep your head together and call my name out loud....
And soon I will be knocking upon your door....
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am....
I'll come running to see you again.....
Carole King - "You've Got a Friend"
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows
It'll turn your head around
James Taylor-"Fire and Rain"
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (I love Elton John)
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of
some strangers hand
In a desperate land
The Doors "The End" (Elton is one of my favorites too)
They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit
The great wide open - Tom Petty (another fav! - I like music though)
Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes,
Jesus Christ died for nothin' I suppose.
Little pitchers have big ears,
Don't stop to count the years,
Sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
John Prine "Sam Stone"
Do you feel lonely
When you're here by my side
Does the sound of freedom
Echo in your mind
Do you wish you were by yourself
Or that I was someone else
Anyone else
"Where would you be" Martina McBride
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"
i feel lucky
I'm so happy 'cause today i found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly
That's okay 'cause so are you
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all i care
And i'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze
'Cause i found God
Nirvana "Lithium"
I have my own life...and I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you won't be walking out the door
leather and lace - stevie nicks and don henley
(was "our song")
You're so polite indeed,
Well I got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze,
And take away my self destruction.
Its bitter baby,
And its very sweet.
Im on a rollercoaster,
But Im on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I be coming back baby,
I be coming back for more.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul to Squeeze
Where the sun comes up about ten in the morning
And the sun goes down about three in the day
And you'll fill your cup with whatever bitter brew you're drinking
And you spend your life digging coal from the bottom of your grave
I'm listening to this right now. No slur intendend to miners.
Brad Paisley "You'll never leave Harlan alive"
Then the days turned into years
And the memories to black and white
He grew cold like an old winter wind
Blowing across my life
I was listening to Patty Loveless - Mountain Soul. :)
Reba Mcentire - The Greatest Man I Never Knew
You can really fall
Wake up in a ruined house
Wrapped in a torn down curtain
And when I get to hell
Will the lovely girls come down
To the banks of that red, red river
Hear the laughs or laughter or laughing?
Slip away with me
Let our hears be free
Live a life of love
There's no need to care
Sharin' it together
Whatcha got to lose?
In love and life, it's all you get,
It's easy to choose.
I Can Hear the Laughs - Freedy Johnson
Steppenwolf - A Fool's Fantasy
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix you right, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."
The Weight "John Denver or Sheryl Crow"
Lately I've been runnin'
Into our old friends
And somewhere in the small talk
Someone always asks where you've been
So I tell them what you told me
And they can't believe we're through
They ask me what I'm doin' now
And in case you're wonderin' too
Or The Band. Which is what I was thinking of. But I'm older than you. :)
Chris Cagle - Breathe In, Breathe Out
You get a shiver in the dark
It's been raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel all right when you hear that music ring
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits
That made me think of this song:
I've been walking in Central Park
Singing after dark
People think I'm crazy
I've been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"
Quote from: tootallannie on January 08, 2007, 06:16:39 AM

Rolling Stones "Miss You"
If you're coming with me you need nerves of steel
Cause I take corners on two wheels
It's a never-ending circus ride
The faint of heart need not apply
My Crazy Life - Pam Tillis
Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Learning to fly (Pink Floyd)
May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
forever young - rod stewert
Maybe it would be fun
To get a new opinion
Get a little work done
And forget
Maybe it would be cool
If I rocked it old school
Try to break a gold rule
And a sweat
Better than the first time
Better than the worst time
If I could just reverse time
I'd be set
Testing 1,2,3 - Barenaked Ladies
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of Pain - Police
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
For What It's Worth -- Buffalo Springfield
I caught you knockin at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
The needle - Tori Amos
Which isn't related, but made me think of this song:
Baby you'll come knocking on my front door
Same old line you used to use before
I said ya well what am I supposed to do
I didn't know what I was getting into
"Stop draggin my"
"Stop draggin my"
"Stop draggin my heart around"
Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty
I caught you knockin at my cellar door
I love you, baby, can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
MsMojo-- it was originally written by Neil Young. Tori Amos covered it.
Minor hijack over.
You may return to the normal thread.

Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty
Yep, now it's your turn to leave some lyrics for the next poster.
I'll restart
President's bullet-ridden body in the street
Ride, Johnny ride
Kennedy's shattered head hits concrete
Ride, Johnny ride
Johnny's wife is floundering
Johnny's wife is scared
Run, Jackie run
Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead
Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president's dead
Bullet - Misfits
I am just a poor boy and my storys seldom told
I've squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
The Boxer (Simon & Garfunkel)
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 - Heart
It was a rainy night
When he came into sight,
Standing by the road,
No umbrella, no coat.
So I pulled up alongside
And I offered him a ride.
He accepted with a smile,
So we drove for a while.
I didnt ask him his name,
This lonely boy in the rain.
Fate, tell me its right,
Is this love at first sight?
Please dont make it wrong,
Just stay for the night.
All I wanna do is make love to you (Heart)
I could have a mansion that is higher than the trees
I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please
I could fly to Paris, oh, it's at my beck and call
Why do I go through life with nothing at all?
When I Dream - Crystal Gayle
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
desparado
But please dont bring your lips so close to my cheek
Dont smile or Ill be lost beyond recall
The kiss in your eyes, the touch of your hand makes me weak
And my heart may go dizzy and fall
All or Nothing -- Sinatra
Hey man, whered ya get that lotion?
Your skin starts itching once you buy the gimmick
About something called love
Love, love, love
Well, thats like hypnotizing chickens
Iggy Pop-Lust for Life
One baby to another says,
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube
And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours
Because I like you
Drain You - Nirvana
The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
Theyre the very things - we kill I guess
Pride and competition
Cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us
You know it doesnt keep me warm
Im learning to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
And the more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought Id figured out
I have to learn again
forgiveness - don henley
The sky it was gold, it was rose,
I was taking sips of it through my nose,
And I wish I could get back there,
Some place back there,
Smiling in the pictures you would take,
Doing crystal myth,
Will lift you up until you break
Semi-Charmed Life (Third Eye Blind)
She's been staring out the window four nights in a row
Like a caged up tiger, she's pacing the floor
And she just can't resist when she feels the pull
She's got a restless spirit that she can't control
And when she gets like this, I gotta let her go
call of the wild (aaron tippen)
now heres to daddy claxton may his name forever stand
and always be remembered in the courts of all the land
his earthly race is over and as the curtain falls
we\'ll carry him back to Dixie
Wabbash Cannonball - (I wanna say) Grateful Dead, but isn't it Roy Acuff's song?
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday,
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's gonna come back tomorrow
Angel - Jimi Hendrix
Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dyin'
Zombie (Cranberries)
Early in the evenin' just about supper time,
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Down on the Corner (CCR)
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.
Simple Man (Lynyrd Skynryd) I love that song.
Girl, you're gettin' that look in your eyes
And it's startin' to worry me
I ain't ready for no family ties
Nobody's gonna hurry me
Just keep it friendly, girl, 'cause I don't wanna leave
Don't start clingin' to me, girl, 'cause I can't breathe
Don't get Hooked on me - Rascal Flatts, but didn't Mac Davis or someone else sing that originally?
And when my mind is free you know melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue the guitar's coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Your rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You've helped me along
You're making me strong

Drift Away (Dobie Gray)
Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen,
She blew the boys away; was more than they'd seen.
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin' - on.
Keep movin' on."
last dance with mary jane - tom petty
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Round Here - Counting Crows
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
Losing My Religion (REM)
I don't wanna hear about it anymore
It's a shame I've got to live without you anymore
There's a fire in my heart
A pounding in my brain
It's driving me crazy
High Enough - Damn Yankees
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say good bye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
The End Of Innocence (Don Henley)
When the world wants too much
And it feels cold and out of touch
It's a beautiful place
When you kiss my face
The Woman in me - Shania Twain
You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist, what I couldn't turn down
I could walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you
Shameless (Garth Brooks) <had that one blasting today>
How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all
Against All Odds - Phil Collins
Its main street after midnight, just like it was before,
Twenty-one months later, at the local grocery store.
Sherry buys a paper and a cold six-pack of beer.
The headlines say that Sonny is going to the chair.
She pulls back onto mainstreet in her new Mercedes Benz
The Road Goes On (Robert Earl Keen Jr.)
I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
Doing you a favor -
I hardly knew you at all
Then you were gone and it all was wrong
Had no idea how much I cared
Habit hard to Break - Chicago
Through the eyes of innocence
You will find, you will see
There'll come a time it all makes sense
And you won't know, but it will show inside, deep inside
Come With Me (Phil Collins)
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
A look from you and I would fall from grace
And it would wipe the smile right from my face
Heat of the Moment - Asia
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.
Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
Here come the dancers one by one,
Your mamas calling but you're having fun
You'll find you're dancing on a number nine cloud
Put your hands together and sing
it out loud
Rock and Roll Fantasy - Bad Company
I wrecked the El Camino
Would have been DWI
So I just walked off and left it
Laying on its side
The troopers found it in the morning
And they said it's purely luck I wasn't killed
I probably ought to quit my drinking
But I don't believe I will
Calling out
To the dying daylight
The shadows of the mountains
Bringing on the night
Rachel's Song - James McMurtry
Cause there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel, with a hand on my head
She say I've got nothing to fear
There's a darkness living deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your light shine, deep into my home
God, don't let me lose my nerve
Lose my nerve
Put Your Lights On - Santana
You've got your love online
You think you're doing fine
But you're just plugged into the wall
And that deck of tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall
Well I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I can't do this all on my own
I'm No Superman???
Coming down the mountain
One of many children
Everybody has their own opinion
Everybody has their own opinion
Holding it back
Hurts so bad
I'm jumping out of my flesh
Walking The Ghost - James
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

They never tell you truth is subjective
They only tell you not to lie
They never tell you there's strength in vulnerability
They only tell you not to cry
But I've been living underground
Sleeping on the way
Something else - Gary Jules
And I've walked these streets
in the mad house asylum
they can be
where a wild eyed misfit prophet
on a traffic island stopped
and he raved of saving me
Carnival - Natalie Merchant
I'm throwing up what I drank
No one here I would thank
I feel like a shark that's caught
In a goldfish tank
Swallowing a thousand pills
Trying to change how I feel
There's just too much time to kill
Between all my mistakes

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World

Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
Box of Rain - Grateful Dead? I googled that..I don't remember it at all.
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana

On her merry way saying baby what you gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive
Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
There is a good life
Right across the green field
And each generation
Stares at it from afar
But we keep no check
On our appetites
So the green fields turn to brown
Paper In Fire - John Mellencamp
Eighteen hundred and eighty five
Is a year I remember so well
When they drove old Brad into an early grave
And sent my mother to jail
Now I don't know what's right or wrong
But they hung Christ on nails
But with six kids at home and two still on her breast
They wouldn't even give her bail
The Ballad Of Ned Kelly (Sandy Denny)
I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well
And they say they need sailing men to
Show the way, and leave today
Was it you that said, "How long, how long?"

At night prowling sifting sand.
Hiding around on the ground.
He'll be found when you're around.

Let me Take you home tonight - Boston

Ain't no good to hide.
Soemthing About You - Boston
The big boys, they all got computers; got incorporated, too
Me, I just know how to raise things

Folks these days just don't do nothin'
Simply for the love of it
A Month of Sundays - Don Henley
When I look out my window,
Many sights to see.
And when I look in my window,
So many different people to be
That it's strange, so strange.
Season of the Witch
Sometimes I know that it's never enough
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough
I try with an angel tonight
Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides
There's some things you can't deny
What is it about this human condition
I need some kind of promise
Some kind of submission tonight
Ain't it Heavy - Melissa Etheridge
I'd smoked my brain the night before,
On cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'.
But I lit my first and watched a small kid,
Cussin' at a can that he was kicking.
Sunday Mornin' Comin' down - Johnny Cash (grew up listening to him..my mom thought he was hot :biggrin: although she didn't put it that way)
this doubt is screaming in my face
in this familiar place,
sheltered and concealed
and if this night won't let me rest
don't let me second guess
what i know to be real put away
all i know for tonight and maybe i just might learn
to let it go take my security from me
and maybe finally i won't have to know everything
Falling Into Grace-Lifehouse
Billy came back from vietnam just a shadow of a man,
He was a shadow of a man when he came back from vietnam
He was spraying that agent orange on the foliage of the land
out of 80 gallon cans, way back in vietnam
Billy came back from vietnam just a shadow of a man,
He was a shadow of a man when he cam back from vietnam
He married a little women that he liked to call Diane
Though her true name was named Pam
She changed her name to Mrs. Gram
After two still born babies, Billy said I am
Just a portion of the man I was before I went to Nam
Now he drinks and snorts amphetamine
Just as often as he can cause' he's the shadow of a man who
spent his time in vietnam
Billy Came Back From Vietnam (you kinda gave it away) :smile:
Downe vaine lights shine you no more,
No nights are dark enough for those
That in dispaire their last fortunes deplore,
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pittie is fled,
And teares, and sighes, and grones
My wearie days of all joyes have deprived.
Flow my tears - Sting
When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawlin´ home

Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

You put your lips to her lips

Just to wind up where you are

Well I do, and it's amazing
People think I'm crazy, 'cause I worry all the time

You better pay attention
Or this world we love so much might just kill you
I could be wrong now, but I don't think so!
It's a Jungle Out There - Randy Newman

An old blind tiger, got an old bell Jim
Big Black Mariah - Tom Waits
circling your head
Contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth I got a doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
I'll see you later
I see your fantasy you want to make a reality paved in gold
Trapt (Headstrong)
The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Gordon Lightfoot

And it makes me wonder
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin
Because there's a monster
Living under my bed
Whispering in my ear

Deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
so let your light shine
Everlat-Put your lights on
Looking for a chateau
Twenty one rooms but one will do
Looking for a chateau
Twenty one rooms but one will do
I don't want to buy it
I just want to rent it for an hour or two

Walking down the street today
Met an old mistake
Walking down the street today
I didn't want to be mean about it
But I, I didn't have one good word to say
West L.A. fadeaway
West L.A. fadeaway
Little red light on the highway
Big green light on the speedway, hey, hey, hey
West LA Fadeaway by the Grateful Dead
We'll do it all, everything, on our own
We don't need anything or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
I don't quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Snow patrol - Chasing cars
It was a rainy night
When he came into sight,
Standing by the road,
No umbrella, no coat.
So I pulled up alongside
And I offered him a ride.
I love that song!!!

Float me out of danger until then
East of Midnight - Gordon Lightfoot
Oh darling, oh darling, say unto me

I'd have warned 'em but I didn't know
thirty years of tears - John Hiatt
You can keep your love from me just like you were a miser,
And I'll admit it wasn't very smart, (eyeyeyey)
But I went out to find my-self a guy that's so much wiser,
And he told me the way to win your heart
I told the witch doctor (I'm not sure who it's by)
Here is the sacred face of rendevous
In subway sour
Whose grand delusions prey like intellect
In lunatic minds
Intent and focused on
The long thin matches
To light the howling fire...
howler - crimson king
When life was so much calmer
Severely buttoned up
The future rich in promises
Milk flowing from the cup

Now tell him there's one last thing that you forgot to do
This is Me Leaving You - Mary Chapin Carpenter
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed
Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land
He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land"
Rain on the Scarecrow by John Mellencamp
Locked up inside you,
like the calm beneath castles,
is a cavern of treasures that
noone has been to.
Let's go digging.
Bring it out to take you back in.
You won't do what you'd like to do.
Lay back and let me show you another way.
I'll kill what you want me to,
take what's left and eat it.
Take all or nothing.
Life's just too short to push it away.
That's TOOL I just can't think of the song title.
I got a low reputation
And a bad attitude
Cuz all I want to do is something
That I ain't supposed to do
Well I can't change the things I love
I guess I'm just a victim of....

Turning back the hands of time
Holding on to misty memories
Chasing shadows through the night
Trying to find my happy ending
Reaching out for another chance at heaven
We could still find a way if we try
Mystery - Anita Baker
Oh people, look around you
The signs are everywhere
You've left it for somebody other than you

I'm going to leave you here and try to get down to the sea somehow

Take a walk on the wild side - Lou Reed
(and for NO explained reason that song always reminds me of this one)
When the jester sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
In a voice that came from you and me
And while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
While Lennon read the book of Marx
The quartet kept practice in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
American Pie!
Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat fanny
She was such a naughty nanny

Hey hey!

99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

Moonlight on a duck blind
Catfish on a trot line
Sun sets about nine this time of year
We can throw a blanket down
Crickets singin' in the background
And more stars than you can count on a night this clear
Mud on the Tires by ...uh.. :confused: sorry
I once knew a man
Showed me the slight of hand
In the blink of an eye, he danced across the strings
Played a song I'd never heard
Poignant and absurd
To this day it leaves me wondering
How I wish tomorrow I were fishin'
Boy I've got a mission
Shake it, rattle and roll
Ah, now, just use your intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock up on the wall
(This artist is the BEST Friday evening/Saturday afternoon getcha in the mood to chill, dance, whatever ... anywhere! :yes:)

I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
And the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains

But look around, leaves are brown
Hazy Shade of Winter - Simon & Garfunkel
Have her make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seam nor fine needle work
And then she'll be a true love of mine
Scarborough Fair - Simon and Garfunkel
I am just a poor boy.
Though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.
The Boxer - Bob Dylan
You got a lotta nerve
to say you are my friend
When I was down

Like the ocean at the sunrise
Heavy on my Heart - Anastacia
Im going down to rosedale

And nobody's waiting by your side?

You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla - Eric Clapton
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies

Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
losing my religion - r.e.m.
It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run
It's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town
Back in the High Life Again - Steve Winwood
Laying down my treasure before the iron gate
Quickly rang the bell hoping I hadn't come too late
But someone came along and told me not to waste my time
And when I asked him who he was he said, 'Just look behind'
Steve Winwood - 40,000 Headmen
I'm the hard looser
You'll find me crashing through my mother's door
I am the ugly lover
You'll find us rolling on the dirty floor
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
I'm a belly dancer
I'll shake forever and I'll never care
I'm a building jumper
Roof to roof you see me flying in the air
Break my body, hold my bones, hold my bones
Break My Body Lyrics - Pixies

And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
Tuck You In At Night - Uncle Cracker
And they don't know her
But what the ****
They've got nothing else they can do
And they've no reason
But still they come
And I
Would have a hard time facing you
This crime
The shame of what a man can do
Take the night back
All they've stolen
All we took from you
Hold her down (Toad)
We wore old matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with a Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
Oh
I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades

And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner,
watching the young girls dance

Praise with elation, praise every morning

that day - diana reeves
In your life
you seem to have it all,

Won't you spare me

Now, if I was a bricklayer,

And if I were some jewelry, baby;

Penthouse Pauper - CCR

Got a lead foot down on my accelerator

I've got pride, I'm takin' it for a ride

the smooth perfection I can only
dream of
The flow of all the life that's there,
...life that's there

Made my poor heart skip a beat

Climbing out of the window
Climbing up the wall

I make believe that I have a new life

Cause there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel, with a hand on my head
She say I've got nothing to fear
There's a darkness living deep in my soul
I still got a purpose to serve
So let your light shine, deep into my home
God, don't let me lose my nerve
Lose my nerve
Put your light on (?) Santana and Everclear
I will love you anyway
Even if you can not stay
I think you are the one for me
Here is where you want to be
I just want to satisfy 'ya
You're not mine and I can't deny it
Don't you hear me talkin' baby
Love me now or I'll go crazy
Mary J. Blige
Do you want to dance under the moonlight
Kiss me baby all through the night
Oh baby
Do you want to dance?
:yes:
Do You Wanna Dance - Del Shannon (one of many versions)
I'm not aware of too many things,
but I know what I know if you know what I mean.
Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog.
What I Am by Edie Bricknell and the Bohemains or something (My sister loves that song)
Polar opposites don't push away
It's the same on the weekends as the rest of the days
And I know I should go but I'll probably stay
And that's all you can do about some things
I'm trying to drink away the part of the day
That I cannot sleep away
Polar Opposites - Modest Mouse
I've got to realize that life is but a game and it dosen't matter how you score but how you play and although the masses play the host make all the rules the only rules you should live by ...Rules made up by you the only rules you should live by in this bent facade of people being who they're not who view the world through the windshield of the beamer they just bought and swear by hypocrisy yea thinking they'll go far hey mister can you tell me...
wouldn\'t it be nice - pennywise
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer\'s gone, and all the flowers are dying
\'Tis you, \'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer\'s in the meadow
Or when the valley\'s hushed and white with snow
\'Tis I\'ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Danny Boy
There's a tear in your eye,
And I'm wondering why,
For it never should be there at all.
With such pow'r in your smile,
Sure a stone you'd beguile,
So there's never a teardrop should fall.
When your sweet lilting laughter's
Like some fairy song,
And your eyes twinkle bright as can be;
You should laugh all the while
And all other times smile,
And now, smile a smile for me.
when Irish eyes are smiling - Chauncey Olcott & George Graff, Jr.
I look inside my self
See my heart is back
I see my red door
And I want it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away
And not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up
When your whole world is black
Paint it Black -- Rolling Stones
Run, rabbit, run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Dont sit down, its time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave.
Breathe - Pink Floyd
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have
Kicked you around some
Tell me why you wanna lay there,
Revel in your abandon
refugee - tom petty
listen children to a story
that was written long ago
'bout a people on a mountain
and a valley far below
The Legend of Billy Jack -- Four Jacks and a Jill (?)
Well, I heard some people talkin just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And youll soon find out its true
And then youll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
Already Gone - Eagles
The full moon is calling
The fever is high
And the wicked wind whispers
And moans
You got your demons
You got desires
Well, I got a few of my own
one of these nights
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right
Stuck in the Middle With You....
Would you know my name
If i saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If i saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause i know i don't belong here in heaven...
If i saw you in heaven - Eric Clapton
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagles dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by a millions years
Roundabout by Yes
You're the kind of person you meet at certain dismal, dull affairs
Center of a crowd, talking much too loud, running up and down the stairs
Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years
And though you've tried you just can't hide your eyes are edged with tears
You better stop, look around
Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
19th Nervous Breakdown (Rolling Stones)
It seems like yesterday but it was long ago Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low
The secrets that we shared, mountains that we moved, caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
Against the Wind -- Bob Seger
Well I've long since retired, my son's moved away,
I called him up just the other day.
I said, "I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
He said, I"d love to Dad, if I can find the time.
You see, my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad,
It's been sure nice talking to you."
And as he hung up the phone it occurred to me,
He'd grown up just like me, my boy was just like me.
Cat's In the Cradle......Harry Chapin
"How old do you think I am," he said?
I said, well, I didn't know.
He said, "I turned 65 about 11 months ago."
I was sittin' in Miami, pouring blended whiskey down
When this old gray, black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge.
There wasn't anyone around, except this old man and me.
The guy who ran the bar was watching Ironside on TV.
Old Dogs and Children and Watermelon Wine
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
FAST CAR by Tracy Chapman
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are
Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star.
Can you really make a wish come true
And do you shine on just a chosen few
Is it over, have I gone to far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
-
Like two ships on the ocean, we drifted apart
And you found an island at sea
I'm still adrift with this pain in my heart
Won't you send her sweet love back to me
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star
Can you send me luck from where you are
Can you make a rainbow shine that far
Twinkle, twinkle lucky star.
Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Star - Merle Haggard
Red sun down, out across the western sky,
Takes me back to the fire in your eyes.
Texas stars in a purple night.
Not seein' 'em with you baby: oh, they never do it right, no.
Every Mile A Memory ~~ Dierks Bentley
Can't buy me love, love,
Can't buy me love.
I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend,
if it makes you feel alright.
I'll get you anything my friend,
if it makes you feel alright.
Can't Buy Me Love The Beatles.
We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
we hadn't driven very far.
There in the road straight ahead,
a car was stalled the engine was dead.
What a classic lady wrenn.
