Lyrics
I love music, and here are some of my favourite lyrics...
I'll show you a sunset if you stay with me til dawn.
- Judie Tzuke Stay With Me Til Dawn
When you're gone the days and nights go on and on
but when you're here the days and nights just disappear.
- Judie Tzuke How Do I Feel
I'm not in love, so don't forget it, it's just a silly phase I'm going through. So if I call you don't make a fuss don't tell your friends about the two of us.
- 10cc I'm Not In Love
Just a link in a chain just a puppet on a string.
- Travis Pipe Dreams
I never knew what love was all about, until I started looking at you,
no one ever tried to tell or show me so I finally figured it out for myself, that what you need:
is someone, who without, you can't breathe.
- Mark Owen My Love
If you could see the aching in me,
I'd change my name in case you lost me,
trembling down to my knees,
I've got to leave the world behind me.
- Starsailor Love Is Here
Man I must have been blind,
to carry a torch, for most of my life,
these days I'm hanging around,
you're out of my heart, and out of my town.
- Starsailor Fever
She just wept, like I could not ignore,
how can I act, when my heart's on the floor?
She just wept, 'til her eyes became sore,
I knew who she was, but I don't anymore,
she just cried, to the ruins of time,
that kept us apart, we were doing just fine,
she just wept, she was put to the test,
those that she loved, she had learned to detest,
daddy I've got nothing left, my life is good, my love's a mess,
daddy I've got nothing left, what can I do that's for the best?
Daddy I've got nothing left, my life is good, my love's a mess,
daddy I've got nothing left, what can I do that's for the best?
- Starsailor She Just Wept (that's the whole song)
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
with the birds I'll share
with the birds I'll share
this lonely view
with the birds I'll share
this lonely view
push me up against the wall
young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
fallin' all over myself
to lick your heart and taste your health 'cause
with the birds I'll share
this lonely view...
blood loss in a bathroom stall
southern girl with a scarlet drawl
wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause
- Red Hot Chilli Peppers Scar Tissue
Porcelain
are you wasting away in your skin
are you missing the love of your kin
drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
do you smell like a girl when you smile
can you bear not to share with your child
drifting and floating and fading away
little lune
all day
little lune
Porcelain
do you carry the moon in your womb
someone said that you're fading too soon
drifting and floating and fading away
- Red Hot Chilli Peppers Porcelain
Only takes one tree, to make 1000 matches
Only takes one match, to burn A thousand trees
- Stereophonics Thousand Trees
They find a body in the lake
maybe it wasn't really his name
same colour, same weight, same sized feet
experts not knowing what kills you
oh no the clocks stops slow, every time you're on your own
the hop from the spots
and nobody knows
search through the pictures on the rainy days look for a clue
still looking for you
- Stereophonics Same Sized Feet
A love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
laying everybody low with a love song that he made
finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?
Juliet says hey it's Romeo you nearly gave me a heart attack
he's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
you shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
anyway what you gonna do about it?
Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
and I bet and you exploded in my heart
and I forget I forget the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?
come up on different streets they both were streets of shame
both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
and I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real
how can you look at me as I was just another one of your deals?
well you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
you promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
now you just say oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
there's a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
I can't do the talk like the talk on the TV
and I can't do a love song like the way its meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
can't do anything except be in love with you
and all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
all I do is keep the beat the bad company
all I do is kiss you through the bars of Orion
Julie I'd do the stars with you any time
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
there's a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
a love struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
laying everybody low with a love song that he made
finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?
- Dire Straits Romeo and Juliet (this is the whole song)
I left reality early due to the lack of love... reason
- PM Dawn Looking Through Patient Eyes
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand...don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly...don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man...
- Blue Oyster Cult Don't Fear The Reaper
So doctor doctor won't you please prescribe me something, a day in the life of someone else
- Pink Don't Let Me Get Me
You don't know how you met me,
you don't know why you can't turn around and say goodbye,
all you know is when I'm with you I make you free
and swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I'm singin'
Follow me everything is alright
I'll be the one to tuck you in at night
and if you want to leave I can guarantee
you won't find nobody else like me
I'm not worried bout' the ring you wear
just as long as no-one knows then nobody can care
you're feeling guilty and I'm well aware
but you don't look ashamed and baby I'm not scared
- Uncle Kracker Follow Me
Please don't stop loving me
you were born to be in my arms
in my arms
please don't stop loving me
your lips were made just to be kissed by me
kissed by me
when I'm with you
I don't know day from night, wrong from right
you are my world, that's all I know
I love you so, I won't let you go
please don't stop loving me
darling you'll always be mine alone
mine alone.
- Elvis Presley Please Don't Stop Loving Me (this is the whole song)
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do.
Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply
I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
until the sky falls down on me.
Savage Garden -Truly Madly Deeply When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
when you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing near my ear
wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
- Phil Collins Groovy Kind Of Love I've been sitting here so long
wasting time, just staring at the phone
and I was wondering should I call you
then I thought maybe you're not alone
- Phil Collins One More Night My mama said
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
she said love don't come easy
but it's a game of give and take
you can't hurry love
no, you'll just have to wait
just trust in a good time
no matter how long it takes
- Phil Collins You Can't Hurry Love Where the good times gone?
Where the good times gone?
All the stupid fun
and all that shit we've done
where the good times gone?
Well I still don't know
- Nickleback Good Times Gone I want to take his eyes out;
just for looking at you
yes I do
I want to take his hands off;
just for touching you
yes I do
I want, to rip his heart out
just for hurting you and I want
to break his mind down
yes I do
and I want to make him regret,
life since the day he met you
yes I do
I want to hold you
make him take back all that he took from you
yes I do
I want, to rip his heart out
just for hurting you and I want
to break his mind down
yes I do
- Nickleback Just For It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
and it must have been so bad
cause living with me must have damn near killed you
- Nickleback How You Remind Me I felt like shit when I woke up this morning
- Nickleback Woke Up This Mornin' If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen has been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own, meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. But never mind, you will never understand the power and the beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in twenty years, you will look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now, how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future or worry knowing that worry is just as affective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind. The kind that blind sides you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing every day that scares you. Sing.
Don't be reckless with other peoples' hearts, don't put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40 year olds still don't. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken' on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body. Use it every day you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own. Dance. Even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room. Read the directions even if you don't follow them. Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings. They are your best link to your past and the most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go. But for a precious few, you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, for the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old and when you do, you'll fanatisize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse but you'll never know when either one might run out. Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're forty, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of wishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth. But trust me on the sunscreen.
- Baz Lurman Wear Sunscreen (This is the whole song) Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, baby, and I don't want to miss a thing.
'Cause even when I dream of you,
The sweetest dream would never do
I'd still miss you baby, and I don't want to miss a thing.
- Aerosmith Don't want to miss a thing I am sitting
In the morning
At the diner
On the corner
I am waiting
At the counter
For the man
To pour the coffee
And he fills it
Only halfway
And before
I even argue
He is looking
Out the window
At somebody
Coming in
"It is always
Nice to see you"
Says the man
Behind the counter
To the woman
Who has come in
She is shaking
Her umbrella
And I look
The other way
As they are kissing
Their hellos
I'm pretending
Not to see them
Instead
I pour the milk
I open
Up the paper
There's a story
Of an actor
Who had died
While he was drinking
It was no one
I had heard of
And I'm turning
To the horoscope
And looking
For the funnies
When I'm feeling
Someone watching me
And so
I raise my head
There's a woman
On the outside
Looking inside
Does she see me?
No she does not
Really see me
Cause she sees
Her own reflection
And I'm trying
Not to notice
That she's hitching
Up her skirt
And while she's
Straightening her stockings
Her hair
Is getting wet
Oh, this rain
It will continue
Through the morning
As I'm listening
To the bells
Of the cathedral
I am thinking
Of your voice...
And of the midnight picnic
Once upon a time
Before the rain began...
I finish up my coffee
It's time to catch the train
- Suzanne Vega Tom's Diner (that�s the whole song) My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before
- Suzanne Vega Luka Nights in white satin never reaching the end
letters I've written never meaning to send
beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
just what the truth is I can't say any more
cause I love you
yes I love you
- Moody Blues Nights In White Satin My tea's gone cold,
I'm wondering why I
got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
and even if I could
it'd all be grey
but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
not so bad.
- Dido Thank You With the money from her accident
She bought herself a mobile home
So at least she could get some enjoyment
out of living alone
No one could say she was left upon the shelf
Its you and me against the world she mumble to herself
When the world falls apart something�s stay in place
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face
She ran away from home in her mother's best coat
She was married before she was even entitled to vote
And her husband was one of those blokes
The sort who only laughs at his own jokes
The sort that a war takes away
And when there wasn't a war he left her anyway
When the world falls apart something�s stay in place
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his face
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
Holland and Holland and Lamont Dozier too
Are here to make it okay with you
One dark night he came home from the sea
And put a hole in her body, where no hole should be
It hurt her more to see him walking out the door
And though they stitched her back together they left her heart in pieces on the floor
When the world falls apart something�s stay in place
She takes off the Four Tops tape
and puts it back in its case
When the world falls apart something�s stay in place
Levis Stubbs tears...
- Billy Bragg Levi Stubbs Tears (This is the whole song) There's a stain on my notebook where your coffee cup was
and there's ash in the pages
now I've got myself lost
I was writing to tell you
that my feelings tonight
are a stain on my notebook
that rings your goodbye
now she's gone
and I'm back on the beat
a stain on my notebook
says nothing to me
now she's gone
and I'm out with a friend
with lips full of passion and coffee in bed
with the way that you left me I can hardly contain
the hurt and the anger
and the joy of the pain
now knowing I am single
there'll be fire in my eyes
and a stain on my notebook
for a new love tonight
now she's gone
and I'm back on the beat
a stain on my notebook
says nothing to me
now she's gone
and I'm out with a friend
with lips full of passion
and coffee in bed
now she's gone
and I'm out with a friend
with lips full of passion
and coffee in bed
from lips without passion
to the lips with a kiss
there's nothing of your love
that I'll ever miss
the stain on my notebook
remains all that's left of the memory of late nights
and coffee in bed
now she's gone
and I'm back on the beat
a stain on my notebook
says nothing to me
Now she's gone
and I'm out with a friend
with lips full of passion
and coffee in bed
- The Squeeze Black Coffee In Bed (The whole song) Did you ever read the words
that said love would end
I read them tonight
mistakes I can't defend
I didn't stop to think
and I upset her
I've said goodnight tonight
the last time forever
I think of her tonight
she keeps me from my sleep
but what can I do
with all of these memories
I used to be so shy
and hide my temper
I've said goodnight tonight
the last time forever
it all went wrong when I grew jealous
I didn't realize my strength
could take the life of one so precious
together we were known as good friends
did you ever read the words
that say I love you
I read them tonight
but what good can they do
I regret what I have done
it wasn't clever
I've said goodnight tonight
the last time forever
- The Squeeze Last Time Forever (The whole song) Your knuckles whiten on the wheel
the last thing that your hands will feel
your final flight can't be delayed
no land just sky it's so serene
your pink fat lips let go a scream
you fry and melt I love the scene
sometimes I
fantasize
when the streets are cold and lonely
and the cars they burn below me
don't these times
fill your eyes
when the streets are cold and lonely
and the cars they burn below me
are you all alone
is anybody home
I'm standing warm against the cold
now that the flames have taken hold
at least you left your life in style
and for as far as I can see
tin twisted grills grin back at me
bad money dies I love the scene
sometimes I
fantasize
when the streets are cold and lonely
and the cars they burn below me
don't these times
fill your eyes
when the streets are cold and lonely
and the cars they burn below me
are you all alone
is anybody home
sometimes I
fantasize
when the streets are cold and lonely
and the cars they burn below me
don't these times
fill your eyes
when the streets are cold and lonely
and the cars they burn below me
are you all alone
are you made of stone
