This will be a random assortment of song lyrics that I have come across that somehow remind me of Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. In particular, I am basing this list on the thoughts that are currently running round my mind after meeting Nick in Japan. so if you dare, enter my world of lyric consciousness...
Sometimes I wonder, wow I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you I just wouldn't have a clue.
'Cause sometimes it seems
Like this world's closing in on me,
And there's no way of breaking free
And then I see you reach for me.
Sometimes I wanna give up
I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight.
And then I see you, baby,
And everything's alright, everything's alright...
When I see you smile
I can face the world, oh oh,
you know I can do anything.
When I see you smile
I see a ray of light, oh oh,
I see it shining right through the rain.
When I see you smile...
Oh yeah, baby when I see you smile at me
Baby there's nothing in this world that could ever do
What a touch of your hand can do
It's like nothing that I ever knew.
And when the rain is falling
I don't feel it, 'cause you're here with me now
And one look at you baby
Is all I'll ever need, you're all I'll ever need
When It's Over (Sugar Ray)
When it's over
That's the time I fall in love again
And when it's over
That's the time you're in my heart again
And it never ends
All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing
All the favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window
I'm missing you
I never knew how much she'd loved me
I'm missing you
I never knew how much you meant to me
I need you and when you go, go, go, go
I know, it never ends, never ends
When it's over
Can I still come over
In the middle of the night
When it's over
Is it really over
Or are you coming back this time, this time, this time
All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing
All the favorite TV shows
Have gone out the window
The Promise (When in Rome)
If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end, I'll always be there.
But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around, and I'll be there.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile,
I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.
When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will, I will.
Fool in the Rain (Led Zeppelin)
Oh baby.
Well there's a light in your
eye that keeps shinin',
Like a star that can't wait for night.
I hate to think I been blinded baby.
Why can't I see you tonight?
An' the warmth of your smile starts a burnin'
An' the thrill of your touch give me fright
And I'm shakin' so much, really yearnin'.
Why don't you show up and make it alright...
It's alright-right.
And if you promised you'd love so completely
An' you said you would always be true,
You swore that you never would leave me baby,
Whatever happened to you?
An' you thought it was only in movies
As you wish all your dreams would come true, hey.
It ain't the first time believe me baby,
I'm standin' here feelin' blue, blue - hah!.
Yes, I'm blue.
Oh babe.
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner,
I watch the people go shufflin' downtown.
A-nother ten minutes no longer
An' then I'm turnin' around 'round.
An' the clock on the wall's movin' slower,
Oh my heart it sinks to the ground
An' the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found.
Light of the love that I found.
Light of the love that I found.
Oh that I found.
Hey babe.
Oooh the hand that ticks on the clock
Just don't seem to stop
When I'm thinking it over.
Oooh, tired of the light,
I just don't seem to find.
Have you wait, yeah played.
I see it in my dreams
But I just don't seem to be with you, you
I gotta get it all, gotta get it all, gotta get it
all, I've got to get all.
Ooh now my body is starting to quiver
An' the palms of my hands gettin' wet, oh.
I got no reason to doubt you baby,
It's all a terrible mess.
An' I'll run in the rain 'til I'm breathless,
When I'm breathless I'll run 'til I drop, hey!
An' the thoughts of a fool's gotta count,
I'm just a fool waitin' on the wrong block, ohh-yeah.
Babylon (David Gray)
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To tell you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon...
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon...
The Longest Time (Billy Joel)
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened for the longest time.
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there for the longest time.
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest...
I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened for the longest time...
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping too hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time...
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself
Hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
You're wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that
I intend to hold you for the longest time
