[finebyfive]

OK, I'll start by "quoting" song lyrics, and if you know the name of the song and singer, answer it and give one of your own.

I'll start.......

Daddy's flown across the ocean
leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
Daddy what did you leave behind for me.........

Another Brick In The Wall, Part 1 - Pink Floyd


Come 'ere loverboy!!
And if he doesnt answer?
Ohh loverboy!
And if he STILL doesnt answer?

I simply say
Baby,
Oohh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one

Strange Love, I guess its Mickey and Sylvia

He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man.
He wants his home and security,
He wants to live like a sailor at sea.

BEAUTIFUL LOSER --- by Bob Seger

So,

On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out as one long song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before

[finebyfive]

Bob Seger, Turn The Page


I gotta think of one now

[finebyfive]

Every day was something new,
You put on your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you.

I Thank You - Bon Jovi

The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery and he
Walked on down the hall.
He went into the room where his sister lived. And then he.
Paid a visit to his brother. And then he, he
Walked on down the hall.
And he came to a door. And he looked inside.

Garbage - I think I'm Paranoid

In the cool of the evening
When everything is gettin’ kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you
If you´d like to go with me and see a movie
First you say no, you’ve got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, all right..............

Spooky // Dusty Springfield

Janet Jackson - Black Cat

For forty days and forty nights

So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice

Got To Get You Into My Life // Beatles

Some people like to go out dancing
and other people like us, we gotta work
And there's even some evil mothers
they're gonna tell you that everything is just dirt
And you know that women never really faint
and that villains always blink their eyes
That children are the only ones who blush
and that life is just to die

Lou Reed-- Sweet Jane

Dance song again. Need to get them out of my head...
The winds of the heart can blow me down

The wasted tears of love in vain
I've held you tight, pushed you away
Now with all my might I beg you to stay

Silent All These Years - Tori Amos

Could it be I was born without a clue to carry on?
And still it is the same, now I am older.

And minding less and less if I am colder.

But I have this funny ache and it's burning in my chest
and it spreads just like a fire in my body.

Come to Poppa - Bob Seger

We're buying and selling your history
How we go about it is no mystery
We check it with the city, then change the law
Are you looking forward?
Now you want some more

It's easy when you got all the information
Inside help, no investigation
(No investigation, investigation)
No questions in the house, no give and take
There's a big bang in the city
We're all on the make

We're s-h-o-p-p-i-n-g! Haven't heard that one in years. Pet Shop Boys.


Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Highway To Hell - AC/DC on my iTunes top 25 most played


Generals gathered in their masses

Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

War Pigs - Black Sabbath!

I can try to get away but I’ve strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all too clear

hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away

Nine Inch Nails - can't remember the name of the song, but it's on The Downward Spiral album, right?


All my scientists are working on a deadline
So my psychologist is working day and night time
They say they know what's best for me
But they don't know what they're doing
And I'm glad I'm not Gorbachev

At least he's got a garden with a fertile plot
And a party that will never stop

so they could look inside my car
he said are you an american citizen
I said
yes sir
so far
they made sure I wasn't smuggling
someone in from Mexico
someone willing to settle for america
'cause there's nowhere else to go

Originally released 1992

Review: Nothing short of massive, (the album) is stunning in its arrangements, personal in its delivery and gritty with bravado. The artist as auteur is first to come to mind, juxtaposing cinematic imagery with lyrical subterfuge. The songs are infectious and garnered from a Feminista on the run, a hero rejecting heroism, coy when it counts, this record plays like a mantra for anyone packing outsider status.

Sweet child O' mine - Guns n' Roses



----

You only see what you want to believe
when you light up in the back with those tricks up your sleeve.
That don't mean I can't hang
But the day that I die will be the day
that I shut my mouth and put down my guitar.
Sunday morning hold church down at the bar.
Get down on your knees and start to pray,
oh, Pray my itchy rash will go away, ow!
Back up y'all, it ain't me,
Kentucky Fried Chicken is all that I see,
It's a hellified way to start your day.

Demolition woman can I be your man?
Razzle 'n' dazzle 'n' flash a little light

Sometime anytime sugar me sweet
Little miss innocent sugar me, yeah yeah
C'mon, take a bottle, shake it up
Break the bubble, break it up

Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall

You words keep me alive

Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy.

How you was, where you could be found.
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy.

I finally got all that alcohol I can't afford.
With red lights flashin' time to retire,
And then we turned that liquor store into a structure fire.

It only took one brick to make that window drop.
Finally we got our own p.a.

And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You've got to roll with the punches to get to what's real.

I ain't the worst that you've seen.
Oh can't you see what I mean?

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from here to where you'd be

My finger in creases of distant dark places

Snow patrol ~ Set The Fire To The Third Bar

well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
my head's been wet with the midnight dew
i've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from galilee
he spoke to me in the voice so sweet
i thought i heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
he called my name and my heart stood still
when he said, "john go do my will!"

go tell that long tongue liar
go and tell that midnight rider
tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Johnny Cash - God's gonna cut you down


The first flush of youth was upon you when our eyes first met
And I knew that to you and into your life I had to get
I felt light-headed at the touch of this stranger's hand
An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand

'Cos you came at a time
When the pursuit of one true love in which to fall
Was the be all and end all

[finebyfive]

The Darkness, Love is Only a Feeling, I LOVE THE DARKNESS!!!!!!!!


I'm punished for all my offences
I wanna touch you but I'm afraid of the consequences
I wanna banish you from whence you came
But you're part of me now
And I've only got myself to blame

[jamaica_girl]

The Darkness - Growing on me
I LOVE Them too!!! They are amazing :)

I know that the absence might
Make the heart grow fonder
Or is it "out of sight
Out of mind" I wonder
And do you yearn for me
When the nights grow cold
'til death do us part
To have and to hold
I wanna give you my love, my love, my love

[finebyfive]

umm.....The Darkness, Is it Just Me!?


Oh lord, I'm so bored
Living on my own
You're devilish and dirty
They say your pushing thirty
Well pushing thirty stone

Oh Christ, I'm enticed
I want you in my sack
Your potty-mouthed and brassy
You're anything but classy
I've just got to get you back

[jamaica_girl]

The Darkness - Knockers

Never understood how she could,
Mean so little to so many
Why does she mean everything to me?

Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
For all of my insecurities
How did I ever let you go?

Billy Talent - Pins and Needles


Look out of any window
any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining

rain is falling from a heavy sky -
What do you want me to do,
to do for you to see you through?
this is all a dream we dreamed
one afternoon long ago

Grateful Dead - Box of rain

You can fill my cup
You can fill my bowl

Billy Idol - Scream

Baby you're a big blue whale

I dive deep when it's ten feet over head.
grab the reef underneath my bed.

Suicide of love took away all that matters
And buried the remains in an unmarked grave in your heart

Every door will open wide
To Happy people like you--
Happy people like
What a beautiful"

Sesame Street Theme (Sunny Day) - written by Joe Raposo, Jon Stone, and Bruce Hart

LOL!

Cold late night so long ago
When I was not so strong you know
A pretty man came to me
Never seen eyes so blue
I could not run away
It seemed we'd seen each other in a dream
It seemed like he knew me
He looked right through me
"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"You don't have to love me yet
Let's get high awhile

"Magic Man" by Hart


Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,
Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.

The day they knocked down the palais
My sister stood and cried.
The day they knocked down the palais
Part of my childhood died, just died.

:Cheers:

The Kinks - Come dancing


Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor boy,I need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Didn't I See you Cryin' - Cheap Trick

Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our Rice Crispies
We can't hear anything at all
Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake,
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take

Synchronicity (II) - The Police


Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song

And everything's alright
Don't you know?

Not only do I not recognize the songs or artists, I don't know which is the song and which is the artist.


But I can name the Beatles in the proper order.


So, I guess I got that going for me.

Sals, ever heard of Pearl Jam or Soundgarden? Chris Cornell (lead singer of Audioslave, and formerly of Soundgarden) created Temple of the Dog as a tribute to Andrew Wood, lead singer of Mother Love Bone, who died in 1990. Former members of Mother Love Bone Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament (both of whom went on to form Pearl Jam) joined Cornell and Eddie Vedder who had auditioned to be Pearl Jam's singer.

The song Hunger Strike was released as a single in 1992, my junior year of high school.

What can I say? I was grunge incarnate back then.

Thanks for that CS. I do know Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and I see you made the age cutoff for knowing the Beatles in order. My youngest daughter, 2 years younger than you, has to really think about it. She always puts Ringo first.

Here's a song about the Grunge scene. It was a "hidden", uncredited track on a cd in 1994....they used to do that, don't know if they still do....see if you know the artist:


Hey, hey, my, my
Rock n' roll will never die
Just hang your hair down in your eyes
You'll make a million dollars

Well, I was in this band goin' nowhere fast
We sent out demos but everybody passed
So one day we finally took the plunge
Moved out to Seattle to play some grunge
Washington state that is...
Space needle, Eddie Vedder
Mudhoney

Now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirts
We turn our amps up until it hurts
We've got bad attitudes and what's more
When we play we stare straight down at the floor
Woweee! Pretty scary
How pensive
How totally alternative

Now to fit in on the Seattle scene
You've got to do something they ain't never seen
So thinkin' up a gimmick one day
We decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note
Under any circumstances
Silence...
Music's original alternative
Root's grunge

Well we spread the word through the underground
That we were the hottest new thing in town
The record guy came out to see us one day
And just like always we didn't play
It knocked him out

He said he loved our work
He said he loved our work, but he wasn't sure if he could
Sell a record with nothing on it
I said tell 'em we're from Seattle
He advanced us two and half million dollars

Hey, hey, my, my
Rock n' roll will never die
Hang your hair down in your eyes
You'll make a million dollars
Well they made us do a video but that wasn't tough
'Cause we just filmed ourselves smashing stuff
It's kind of weird 'cause there was no music
But MTV said they'd love to use it
The kids went wild, the kids went nuts
Rolling Stone gave us a five star review
Said we played with guts

We're scoring chicks, taking drugs
Then we got asked to play MTV Unplugged
You should have seen it

We went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions
of the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place
Then we smashed our shit

Well we blew 'em away at the Grammys show
By refusing to play and refusing to go
And then just when we thought fame would last forever
Along come this band that wasn't even together
Now that's alternative
Now that's alternative to alternative
I feel stupid...and contagious

Well our band got dropped and that ain't funny
'Cause we're all hooked on drugs but we're outta money
So the other day I called up the band
I said boys I've taken all I can
Shave off your goatees, pack the van
We're going back to Athens...

Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem, and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the south,my N****
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out,my N****

[Leia Amos]

Immortal Technique - Bin Laden

cuz take away our playstations
and we are a third world nation
under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office and that phony election
i mean
it don't take a weatherman
to look around and see the weather
jeb said he'd deliver florida, folks
and boy did he ever

[jamaica_girl]

Ani DiFranco - Self evident


I met him when I was a little girl he gave
He gave me poetry and he was my first
But in my heart I knew, I wasn't the only one
Cause when the tables turned he had to break up
Whenever I got lonely, needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder, his words were very nice
That is all behind me,
Cause now there is no other

[finebyfive]

Erykah Badu - Love of my Life

He said I was in my early 40's,
With a lot of life before me,
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days, lookin' at the x-rays,
Talkin' 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time.
Asked him when it sank in, that this might really be the real end.
How's it hit ya, when you get that kind of news.
Man what ya do.
And he says,

I went sky divin',
I went rocky mountain climbin',
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull name Fu Manchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I gave forgiveness I've been denying,

this is an easy one

[jamaica_girl]

Tim McGraw - Live like you were dying


You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin

[finebyfive]

REO Speedwagon, Keep on loving you

[finebyfive]

Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.

Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.

[jamaica_girl]

Boston - Foreplay/Long time


In the faraway fires
Where the hills forever burn
At the feet of our heroes
We try hard to learn
But the lesson is lost there
In the smoke and the mud

[camelsmoker]

Terence Jay - One Blood


Walkin' down this rocky road
Wondering where my life is leadin'
Rollin' on to the bitter end
Finding out along the way
What it takes to keep love living
You should know how it feels, my friend

Ooh, I want you to stay (yeah)
Ooh, I want you today (yeah)

[jamaica_girl]

Bad Company - Ready for love


When you see her, say a prayer and kiss your heart goodbye
She's trouble, in a word get closer to the fire
Run faster, her laughter burns you up inside
You're spinning round and round
You can't get up, you try but you can't

[Leia Amos]

Who's that girl? - Madonna

...
Let loose upon the world
She is the night
And my loneliness in bondage
She's black
And sin runds down her back
She rides
From the daylight in chains

She slides
Down inside your skin
In time
She will make you scream
She's death
In a cool black dress
...

[j-losti]

:) Glenn danzig

You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee

^ pretty easy one

Carly Simon - You're so vain


never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know (yeah!)

couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trust in who we are

[camelsmoker]

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica


Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their Judgement Day comes, yeah!

[jamaica_girl]

Black Sabath - War Pigs


Well I'm going out west where I belong
Where the days are short and the nights are long

Where they walk and I'll walk They fish and I'll fish
They sin and I'll sin They fly and I'll fly

[camelsmoker]

California Sun - The Ramones


I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes,
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don't want it, the things you're offering me,
Symbolized bar code, quick i.d., oh yeah

[jamaica_girl]

Bad Religion - 21st Century(Digital Boy)


If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's still the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is

[camelsmoker]

Motorhead - Ace of Spades (nice one!)


Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

[jamaica_girl]

Kansas - Carry on Wayward son


It starts out easy, something simple, something sleazy, something inching past the edge of the reserve.
Now through lines of the cheap venetian blinds your car is pulling off of the curb.
Just when you think you're in control,
just when you think you've got a hold,
just when you get on a roll,

[SonOfSawyer]

Ok Go - Here it goes again


How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

[jamaica_girl]

Bob Dylan - Like a rolling stone


These are the days we throw away
The Words we never say
"I'm so fragile, and so wrong"
And we're still knocking on the door
Of a world that's gone before
Until the real thing comes along

[SonOfSawyer]

Kiss The Day - Def Leppard

How long how long Will I slide
Seperate my side I don't
I don't believe its fair
Slit my throat
it's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

[jamaica_girl]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside


Making all these waves and
I wonder where the days went.
I sit and think of you I
Hope the feeling's mutual
I'm seeing all you gave and
It somehow don't seem even
Close to what I'd do
To break in two seems natural

[SonOfSawyer]

alien ant farm - These Days


Summertime, time, time,
Child, the living's easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, lord,
Cotton's high, lord, so high.

[jamaica_girl]

Janis Joplin - Summertime


walk through concert doors
and roam all over coliseum floors
I stepped on stage, at Live Aid
All the people gave and the poor got paid
And out of speakers I did speak
I wear my sneakers but I'm not a sneak

[TerminalFrost]

RunDMC - My Adidas


This distance, this dissolution
I cling to memories while falling
Sleep brings release, and the hope of a new day
Waking the misery of being without you

Surrender, I give in
Another moment is another eternity

[Scott]

KillSwitch Engage - End of Heartache

This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May impair your ability to opperate machinery
Can't quite tell just what it means to me

[Smartypants]

Warning - Green Day



This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights all three of them

Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat

[TerminalFrost]

Know Your Rights - The Clash


Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria's
No big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that she's losing for hate
Poor vanessa

[Smartypants]

Peruvian Skies - Dream

My yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put away
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide

[TerminalFrost]

Wildflower - Sheryl Crow


The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom
And talk to yourself as you die.

Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.

[Leia Amos]

Pink Floyd - Free Four

;) Hi Frosty!

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Sounding gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

[TerminalFrost]

For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica

Hi yourself Leia... Nice coice of song. ;)

A warrior down to the depths of my soul
I terrorize evil thats out of control.
On land, in the air, at sea
On danger I feed
My warpaint, the last things my enemies see
Their teeth and their ears are trophies for me
On land, in the air, at sea
I'll be where the metal meets the meat

[Leia Amos]

For Whom the Bell Tolls - Metallica

Hi yourself Leia... Nice choice of song. ;)
:D Thanks, ditto.

Iced Earth - Greenface

Change of pace...

I have sworn every time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I've found
Just one thing makes me forget

Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue blue heart

[TerminalFrost]

Red Red Wine - UB40


I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been.
I realise he's there,
When I turn the light off and turn over.

Nobody knows about my man.
They think he's lost on some horizon.
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before,

Telling me about the sea,
All his love, 'til eternity.

[Leia Amos]

The Man With the Child in His Eyes ~ Kate Bush I have that album :)

Riding on these waves
Holding on to what you say
Everything will be okay it will work out one way
But i've drifted way too far my arms my legs have grown too tired
And could you be inspired now i'm just tired
And on a swing you push me hard
So i'll come back to where you are
And you know i'm never far no decisions nothing hard
And i knew that it would ring tonight i'll take the bus or the next flight

[TerminalFrost]

The Drinks We Drank Last Night - Azure Ray


Now my days are growing cold,
All the memories unfold.
Thinking ´bout the friends we lost,
Wondering how to count the cost,
Now my days are growing cold.

I can hardly wait any longer,
Now the feeling´s growing stronger.
Thinking ´bout the times we had,
Good times always turn into bad,
Now my days are growing cold.

[Leia Amos]

Take me for a little while - Whitesnake

So if you're mad, get mad
Don't hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm a lot like you
When you're standing at the crossroads
And don't know which path to choose
Let me come along
'cause even if you're wrong

[TerminalFrost]

I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders


Living every moment holding on to a dream
Staring at an empty page will it come to me
And I wonder will the light ever shine on me
If it's a mountain I must climb then that's the way it must be

Day after day like a lifetime away I keep holding on
And night after night out of reach, out of sight from it all
Day after day I won't walk away from this dream of mine

[Leia Amos]

Hardline - In the Hands of Time


Your flirt
it finds me out
teases the crack in me
smittens me with hope

... probably love

As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind, perhaps
spending little time with you
sometimes, sometimes

[TerminalFrost]

Possibly Maybe - Bjork


When day has left the night behind
And shadows roll across my mind
I sometimes find myself alone out walkin the street
Yes, and when Im feelin down and blue
Then all I do is think of you
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away

[jamaica_girl]

Doobie Brothers - South City Midnight


I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

[Scott]

Seether ft Amy Lee - Broken

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[jamaica_girl]

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt


You could be my someone
You can be my scene
And know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doin'
Imagine where you are
'Cause oceans in between us
But that's not very far

[camelsmoker]

Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry


He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

[jamaica_girl]

Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching


So you think you had an Opera
well not like this
So you think you had a Napoli
well not like this
So you think you had a decent pizza
well not like this
so you think you had a real good pizza
well not like this

[Leia Amos]

The Age Of Pamparius ~ Turbonegro

Good mornin' ladies and gentlemen
Boys and motherf--kin' girls
This is your captain with no name speakin'
And I'm here 2 rock your world
With a tale that will soon be classic
About a woman U already know
No prostitute she, but the mayor of your brain

[jamaica_girl]

Prince - P Control


Don't think you'll have to see my face again
dont have much time for sympathy
Cause it never happened to me
You're feelin blue now
I think you bit off more than you could chew
And now it's time to make a choice
And all I wanna hear is your...

[Leia Amos]

Seein' Red - Unwritten Law

Red roses, temptation,
You make the most of a ify situation.
I'm weighing my decision
Who's to say if it's love,or if it isn't?
Only time will tell
Just how well i'll get to know you.
Don't mean to lead you on,
But i want to take it slowly, slowly.
...
Desire can mean danger,
I wanna lover, not another stranger
I'm saving all my passion,
Who's to say if its love, or just attraction?
Only time will tell
Just how well i'll get to know you.
Don't mean to lead you on, but i want to take it slowly, slowly.

:p

[Smartypants]

Don't Rush Me - Taylor Dane

Well I'm standing here looking at you
What do I see?
I'm looking straight through
It's so sad
When you're young
To be told
You're having fun

[jamaica_girl]

Robbie Williams - Ant Music


Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove

[j-losti]

Is that jet? Oh well I think it is

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere

[Smartypants]

Robbie Williams - Ant Music



Robbie Williams? :confused:

[jamaica_girl]

Yes, I found this song in Internet and there was artist - Robbie Williams. If it's wrong, I'm sorry.

Yes, It's Jet - look what you've done

[Smartypants]

S'ok. But--
Ant Music - Adam and the Ants :D

[blue sunrise]

Is that jet? Oh well I think it is

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere

^^Everywhere - Michelle Branch

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

[Smartypants]

Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
(Sexiest video ever)

All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath
and if I shed a tear I won't cage it
I won't fear love
and if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love

[Son of Locke]

Fumbling Toward Ecstasy -- Sarah McLachlan

(nice choice, romancepants...)

Just for fun - and because I heard it on the radio the other night (yay, 80's!)

You talk, talk, you talk too me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite, oh
Who's the hunter, who's the game
I feel the beat call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged in the call of the wild

[Smartypants]

Oh, you wanna go 80s?

Warrior - Scandal



Life is so strange when you don't know
How can you tell where you're going to
You can't be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won't know

[Son of Locke]

Clever girl. If I were as vain as Carly Simon says I am I'd think that song was about me...

Destination Unknown -- Missing Persons

What you gonna do
When things go wrong?
What you gonna do
When it all cracks up?
What you gonna do
When the love burns down?
What you gonna do
When the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?

[camelsmoker]

Hey Smarmypants and Son of Schlock - that New Wave/New Romantics crap is just so... you. Simple minds think alike, right? ;)


Here's a song by a band that's still alive and kicking:

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...

[jamaica_girl]

19th Nervous Breakdown - The Rolling Stones


With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?

[blue sunrise]

The Way You Look Tonight- by uh, every crooner in the past couple decades. :D

ok, Pants you whetted my appetite...

Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I've tried
oh love is better than chocolate
everyone here knows how to cry

[Smartypants]

Ice Cream - Sarah (sigh) McLachlan

I can’t stand to wait in line long
So I built a new machine
It just measures up the distance
and then eliminates the folks between

Bye-bye self-respect
I haven’t had much of it since you left
I missed out on the best of you

[blue sunrise]

Hmmmmm. Who could it be?

It must be Some Fantastic band that sounds alot like the Barenaked Ladies. ;)

I couldn't tell you that I was wrong,
chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song.
I couldn't tell you that you were right,
so instead I looked in the mirror,
watched TV, laid awake all night

[Smartypants]

OK, less than 9 hrs til LADIES!!


ETA: Oh yeah, I'm a dummy. I confused two of my faves. This was actually What A Good Boy - BNL

Next song:

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow

[blue sunrise]

One of my FAVORITES. OK, less than 9 hrs til LADIES!! :D

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Mmm. Nice.

That song is Just Like Heaven to me.

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night

[Leia Amos]

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

Hold on you've gotta wait just a minute
See the cookie jar
I've got my hand caught in it
Just let me try and explain

You know I've been a good girl
But I hit a limit
I know there's not a lot of logic in it
But my life's been feeling to me

Sometimes it tastes so bitter
I've gotta make it sweeter

[jamaica_girl]

Poe - Lemon meringue


Some days it don't come easy, and some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, and these are the days that never end
Some nights you're breathing fire, and some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again

Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me, no one else can save me now but you

As long as the planets are turning, as long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true, you better believe it

[camelsmoker]

I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - Meat Loaf Somehow, I feel dirty for knowing that. *shudder*

Well, I came across a child of God.
He was walking along the road,
And I asked him, "Tell where are you going?"
This he told me:
"Well, I am going down to Yasgur's farm.
Going to join in a rock and roll band.
Goin' to get back to the land to set my soul free"

[blue sunrise]

camel, if you listen to half of the songs you post, you have incredible taste in music.

Woodstock - CSNY

Something inside is telling me that
I've got your secret. Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock, and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you.

[camelsmoker]

camel, if you listen to half of the songs you post, you have incredible taste in music.Thank you. :)

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes... one of my faves, too.


I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I had
To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad
I'd pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life and I will
To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

[finebyfive]

I call that a Bargain, the best I ever had!

The Who, Bargain

Hmm...a theme...



Just before our love got lost, he said,
"I am as constant as the Northern Star," and I said,
"Constantly in the darkness--where is that at?
If you want me, I'll be in the bar."

[finebyfive]

Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry - no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face

[Son of Locke]

Write your problems down in detail

You've had your cry - no, I should say wail

Right RIGHT! Right. Ya bloody well right! Ya got a bloody right to say.

Ok, back to my original...

You might say I have a Bad Case of You. ;) (Can you run to the drug store, please?)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens (whoo whoo)
Fought for ten decades (whoo whoo)
For the gods they made (whoo whoo)
