[britmaveric]

Hold up hold on don't be scared

You'll never change what's been and gone

May your smile. Shine on. Don't be scared

Your destiny may keep you warm.

Cos all of the stars are fading away

Just try not to worry you'll see them some day

Take what you need and be on your way

And stop crying your heart out

Get up. Come on why you scared

You'll never change what been and gone

Stop Crying Your Heart Out- OASIS

[markydd]

may you never lay your head down without a hand to hold

may you never make your bed out in the cold

just like a great strong brother of mine

you know that i love you true

you never talk dirty behind my back

and i know theirs those that do.

may you never lose your temper

if you get in a bar room fight

may you never lose your woman overnite

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

Companion to our demons

they will dance, and we will play

With chairs, candles, and cloth

making darkness in the day

It will be easy to look in or out

upstream or down without a thought

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

Peace in the struggle

to find peace

comfort on the way

to comfort

"Fumbling Towards Ecstasy" - Sarah McLachlan 1994

Sunny day...

sweepin' the clouds away,

on my way to where the air is sweet...

Can you tell me how to get,

how to get to Sesame Street?

Come and play,

everything's a-okay.

Friendly neighbors there,

that's where we meet

Can you tell me how to get,

how to get to Sesame Street?

It's a magic carpet ride...

every door will open wide

to happy people like you,

happy people like,

what a beautiful

Sunny day...

sweepin' the clouds away,

on my way to where the air is sweet...

Can you tell me how to get,

how to get to Sesame Street...?

Sesame Street Theme Song----can't beat this classic!

[Totster]

Just a little something from last night.....

Ode to Jose the curse of Cuervo,

So hard to say no though it gives one the fever,

Pretends to be friendly,

Then it's all over, over,

It's all over, over,

Pretends to be fine,

Then the curse of Tequila,

It makes me happy,

Con Tequila it feels fine,

Con Tequila when the doors are opened,

And con Tequila when they're calling time,

That's the curse of,

Sierra sunrise and Margarita,

They'll break your heart in the desert heat,

Tell you you're thirsty,

They'll tell you you're sober, sober,

It's all over, over,

They'll tell you you're fine,

Then the curse of Tequila....

If there's a lot on your mind it's there to help you forget,

To relax and rewind and leave behind the regret,

First sip makes you well before you know it it's time,

And you're saying to ###### with the salt, lemon and lime,

Salt, lemon and lime, time Tequila,

That's the curse of Tequila.....

[bodypaul]

Time it was

And what a time it was

It was.....

A time of innocence

A time of confidences

Long ago it maybe

I have a photograph

Preserves your memory ..........

That's all that's left (of) you!

[konangrit]

You're only twenty nine

got a lot to learn

but when your mummy dies

she will not return

Sex Pistols, Seventeen

She was a girl from Birmingham

she just had an abortion

she was a case of insanity

her name was Pauline she lived in a tree

Sex Pistols, Bodies

I know a girl called Elsa

She's into Alka Seltzer

She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train

She made me laugh

I got her autograph

She done it with a doctor on a helicopter

She's sniffin in her tissue

Sellin' the Big Issue

Oasis, Supersonic

Thank You

(Page/Plant)

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.

When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.

My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,

together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.

An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,

Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.

Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.

When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

Dedicated to my lovely wife on our 8th Wedding Anniversary

DO IT AGAIN

In the mornin you go gunnin'

For the man who stole your water

And you fire till he is done in

But they catch you at the border

And the mourners are all singin'

As they drag you by your feet

But the hangman isn't hangin'

And they put you on the street

CHORUS:

You go back Jack do it again

Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round

You go back Jack do it again

When you know she's no high climber

Then you find your only friend

In a room with your two timer

And you're sure you're near the end

Then you love a little wild one

And she brings you only sorrow

All the time you know she's smilin'

You'll be on your knees tomorrow

CHORUS

Now you swear and kick and beg us

That you're not a gamblin' man

Then you find you're back in Vegas

With a handle in your hand

Your black cards can make you money

So you hide them when you're able

In the land of milk and honey

You must put them on the table

CHORUS

Steely Dan, (1972)

AFROMAN

Let's all get drunk tonight. (H3ll yeah.) I hope I don't fight with a punk tonight.

(C'mon.)

Let's all get high tonight. Maybe nobody will die tonight. (C'mon, dance with me baby, c'mon.)

Let's all sell yell tonight. (Sling yay.) I hope I don't go back to jail tonight. (Not tonight.)

Let's go to the club tonight. Find a woman that wanna make love tonight.

Let's get dumb, drink some rum. Make my teeth and gums feel real numb.

We'll be thinking 'bout surviving while we're drinking and we're driving.

Hope I don't wreck when my vision gets blurry. Sober up looking at an all white jury.

Judge don't like no drunk like me. Punk might give me strike number three.

Cause when I'm drunk and when I'm high, I don't give a dam-n 'bout a DUI.

Let's just get lit, dance like a nitwit, try to talk to the women that we can't get with.

Me and my staff make everybody laugh. If the beer runs out, we can all go half.

It's Friday night. Got the perfect weather. Lets get drunk together.

Let's all get drunk tonight. (H3ll yeah.) I hope I don't fight with a punk tonight. (C'mon.)

Let's all get high tonight. Maybe nobody will die tonight. (C'mon, dance with me baby, c'mon.)

Let's all sell yell tonight. (Sling yay.) I hope I don't go back to jail tonight. (Not tonight.)

Let's go to the club tonight. Find a woman that wanna make love tonight.

Bacardi. Colt .45. Let's party. We're still alive.

Tomorrow brings pain and sorrow, but tonight, we're all right.

Drink that beer 'til your belly can't hold it. Tell the homeboys, we fittin' to get loaded.

Rollin' through the Ante-dope Valley out there. Hope the cops don't smell

That beer on my breath, cause if the sheriff catch a whiff of that fifth, it'll probly knock him stiff.

Don't look dumb if my breath on hum. Stick your hand in you're pocket, please, pass some gum,

So the cops can't tell my breath smell. We won't go to jail, we'll go to Palmdale

With the beautiful women and the beautiful weather, we can both get drunk together.

Let's all get drunk tonight. (H3ll yeah.) I hope I don't fight with a punk tonight. (C'mon.)

Let's all get high tonight. Maybe nobody will die tonight. (C'mon, dance with me baby, c'mon.)

Let's all sell yell tonight. (Sling yay.) I hope I don't go back to jail tonight. (Not tonight.)

Let's go to the club tonight. Find a woman that wanna make love tonight.

Baby, I beg your pardon, but your outfit's giving me a hard-on.

Maybe some way, maybe some how, you could dance with me, right here, right now.

Been lookin' at you all night long. That DJ's playing my favorite song.

Everything is splendid, don't mean no harm. Don't get offended when I pull your arm.

I ain't felt this good since I don't know when, and I might not feel this good again.

It's Friday night, beautiful weather, let's get drunk together. (C'mon, y'all.)

Let's all get drunk tonight. (H-ell yeah.) I hope I don't fight with a punk tonight. (C'mon.)

Let's all get high tonight. Maybe nobody will die tonight. (C'mon, dance with me baby, c'mon.)

Let's all sell yell tonight. (Sling yay.) I hope I don't go back to jail tonight. (Not tonight.)

Let's go to the club tonight. Find a woman that wanna make love tonight.

Let's all get drunk tonight. I hope I don't fight with a punk tonight.

Let's all get high tonight. Maybe nobody will die tonight.

Let's all sell yell tonight. I hope I don't go back to jail tonight.

Let's go to the club tonight. Find a girl that wanna make love tonight.

erk erk!!

[the scouser]

You told me again you prefer handsome men

But for me you would make an exception.

And clenching your fists for the ones like us

Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty

You fixed yourself,

You said, "Well never mind. We are ugly be we have the music"

.....

This is one of my favorites... more so when I've "had a few" and I can sing along..

Something in the way you love me won’t let me be

I don’t want to be your prisoner so baby won’t you set me free

Stop playing with my heart

Finish what you start

When you make my love come down

If you want me let me know

Baby let it show

Honey don’t you fool around

Just try to understand, I’ve given all I can,

’cause you got the best of me

Chorus:

Borderline feels like I’m going to lose my mind

You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

(repeat chorus again)

Keep on pushing me baby

Don’t you know you drive me crazy

You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

Something in your eyes is makin’ such a fool of me

When you hold me in your arms you love me till I just can’t see

But then you let me down, when I look around, baby you just can’t be found

Stop driving me away, I just wanna stay,

There’s something I just got to say

Just try to understand, I’ve given all I can,

’cause you got the best of me

(chorus)

Keep on pushing me baby

Don’t you know you drive me crazy

You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

Look what your love has done to me

Come on baby set me free

You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

You cause me so much pain, I think I’m going insane

What does it take to make you see?

You just keep on pushing my love over the borderline

RDN is it your anniversary too mate?

RDN is it your anniversary too mate?

Can't have enough Zep though!

Sorry chon! I did a quick scan down all the posts and didn't see that you'd already posted it! What a coincidence! But a beautiful song and usually gets me a little moisty-eyed, especially if I've had a few and thinking about a particular girl.

8th anniversary - you lucky man. I wish I'd got to number 1 with the girl I'm thinking about.

[Totster]

Song: Come Here

(Before Sunrise Soundtrack)

There's wind that blows in from the north.

And it says that loving takes this course.

Come here. Come here.

No I'm not impossible to touch I have never wanted you so much.

Come here. Come here.

Have I never laid down by your side.

Baby, let's forget about this pride.

Come here. Come here.

Well I'm in no hurry. Don't have to run away this time.

I know you're timid.

But it's gonna be all right this time.

PS:- well.. this song's stunning me at the moment.

[Girlfrombar]

Faithless---Don't Leave

Packing our bags like people in the movies do

All severe, and not saying a word

And I'm sitting down here just watching you, and I'm thinking

Where has all the love gone

where's the love gone to

Don't Leave

You got me hurting

Don't Leave

You know it's never been easy to love someone like me

Hanging with friends like we used to do

I didn't know anything was wrong

last night when I was thinking it through

Trying to find who am I

And what you lead me to do

(Don't Leave)

There's a record you used to play

There's Joni singing

The bed's to big without you

And I know just what you say

help me, I'm falling

Where did all the love go

Where's the love gone to

Don't Leave

You got me hurting

Don't Leave

You know it's never been easy to love someone like me

Don't leave

Where did all the love go

Where's the love gone to

We'll fly around the world

give you what you're giving me

I should dress you up in pearls

finest silk to touch your skin

don't know hot to write a love song

Don't Leave

You got me hurting

Don't Leave

You know it's never been easy to love someone like me

Don't leave

Artist: Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye Lyrics

Song: Stop, Look, Listen (to Your Heart) Lyrics

[Marvin]

You're alone all the time

Does it ever puzzle you

Have you asked why

You seem to fall in love and out again

Do you really ever love

Or just pretend, oh, baby

Why fool yourself

Don't be afraid to help yourself

It's never too late, too late to

Stop, look, yes, listen to your heart

Hear what it's sayin'

Stop, look, listen to your heart

Hear what it's sayin'

Love, oh, love, love

[Diana]

Though you try, you can't hide

All the things you really feel

This time decide

That you will open up, let it in

There's no shame in sharin' love you feel within

So jump right in

Head over heels and fall right in

It's never too late, too late to

Stop, look, listen to your heart

Hear what it's sayin'

Stop, look, oh, listen to your heart

Hear what it's sayin'

Love, love, love

[both]

Darlin', darlin', stop and look

(Stop right now and listen to your heart)

Oh, listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'

(Can't you see that it's not too late)

Stop and look

And listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'

Stop and listen to your heart right now

(Stop, look)

(Listen to your heart hear what's it's sayin')

Oh, can't you see that it's not too late

(Stop, look)

(Listen to your heart hear what it's sayin')

Darlin', stop and look

And listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'

Stop, baby

(Stop right now and listen to your heart)

And listen to your heart hear what it's sayin'

(Ooh, ooh, can't you see that it's not too late)

"Sympathie for the devil" by the Rolling Stones. Forget the year.

[RDN]

Shakira: Underneath Your Clothes

You're a song written by the hands of god

Don't get me wrong cause this might sound to you a bit odd

But you own the place where all my thoughts go hiding

And right under your clothes is where I find them

Underneath Your Clothes there's an endless story

There's the man I chose there's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

Because of you I forgot the smart ways to lie

Because of you I'm running out of reasons to cry

When the friends are gone when the party's over

We will still belong to each other

Underneath Your Clothes there's an endless story

There's the man I chose there's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

I love you more than all that's on the planet

Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing you know it's true

Oh baby it's so funny you almost don't believe it

As every voice is hanging from the silence lamps are hanging from the ceiling

Like a lady tied to her manners I'm tied up to this feeling

Underneath Your Clothes there's an endless story

There's the man I chose there's my territory

And all the things I deserve

For being such a good girl honey

[wolf5370]

Like Iron Maiden's Holy Smoke

Believe in me - send us money

Died on the cross and that ain't funny

But my so called friends they're making me a joke

They missed out what I said like I never spoke

They choose what they wanna hear - they don't tell a lie

They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die

They're saving your souls by taking your money

Flies around shit, bees around honey

chorus

Holy Smoke Holy Smoke, plenty bad preachers for

The Devil to stoke

Feed'em in feet first this is no joke

This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke yeah

making Holy Smoke

Jimmy Reptile and all his friends

Say they gonna be with you at the end

Burning records burning books

Holy soldiers nazi looks

Crocodile smiles just wait a while

Till the TV queen gets her make-up clean

I've lived in filth I've lived in sin

And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in

repeat chorus

Holy Smoke - smells good

They ain't religious but they ain't no fools

When Noah built his cadillac it was cool

Two by two they're still going down

And the satellite circus just left town

I think they're strange and when they're dead

They can have a Lincoln for their bed

Friend of the president trick of the tail

Now they ain't got a prayer 100 years in jail

repeat chorus

Holy Smoke - hah

and Elton's Slow Down Georgie (best line highlighted)

Hey there Georgie got a couple of things to say

One you're my friend, and two it's hurting me

Seeing you act this way

But my hands are tied and I can only try to talk you out of a fall

`Cause the reputation of the woman you're dating's

About as nasty as the Berlin wall

Slow down Georgie she's poison

Man you've got to watch yourself

She's gonna get in your head, she's gonna crawl in your bed

You're just a stepping stone for someone else

Slow down Georgie she's poison

She's just another divorcee

An undercover lover of a hundred

Other little fish in the sea

You better cut her loose before she gets her hooks in you

If you give her the world, and it was covered in pearls

She'd only ask for the moon

She's got you hypnotised, with her big brown eyes

And a body that could stop a clock

But if you think your face ain't gonna be replaced

Georgie boy you're in for a shock

Well it ain't my job to rain on your parade

But if the chips were down, you'd do the same for me

It's always been that way

She's got you paralysed with a pack of lies

About honour and the single girl

And if you buy that line you must be out of your mind

You must be living in another world

an L'il Friggerator has the lyrics (highlighted best line again)...

She looked so easy 'cause she looked so young

With a geisha smile made in Taiwan

She got cherry bombs inside her eyes

And the luck of the Irish on her side

Don't let her tell you that she loves your mind

She's got her price, she can turn on a dime

Those crocodile tears ain't tears of pain

Look a little closer, that's acid rain

And I don't know

Why li'l frigerator you're so cold

Go li'l frigerator go

Get away from my soul

Li'l frigerator you're so cold

She's calculated with the kiss of death

Got a digital mind and expensive breath

She's an empty shell, you're a piece of meat

Just another statistic on her readout sheet

Just thought they were somewhat apt considering some of the BG threads posted here...

[Totster]

Is it getting better

Or do you feel the same

Will it make it easier on you now

You got someone to blame

You say...

One love

One life

When it's one need

In the night

One love

We get to share it

Leaves you baby if you

Don't care for it

Did I disappoint you

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without

Well it's...

Too late

Tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to

Carry each other

Carry each other

One...

Have you come here for forgiveness

Have you come to raise the dead

Have you come here to play Jesus

To the lepers in your head

Did I ask too much

More than a lot

You gave me nothing

Now it's all I got

We're one

But we're not the same

Well we

Hurt each other

Then we do it again

You say

Love is a temple

Love a higher law

Love is a temple

Love the higher law

You ask me to enter

But then you make me crawl

And I can't be holding on

To what you got

When all you got is hurt

One love

One blood

One life

You got to do what you should

One life

With each other

Sisters

Brothers

One life

But we're not the same

We get to

Carry each other

Carry each other

One...life

One

[stevehaigh]

Leave out the fiction,

The fact is, this friction

Will only be worn by persistence.

Leave out conditions,

Courageous convictions

Will drag the dream into existence.
