game4shame Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Doves Caught By The River Son What have you done? You're caught by the river You're coming undone Life You know it can't be so easy But you can't just leave it Cause you're not in control no more And you give it all away Would you give it all away now? Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Son What are you doing? You learned a hard lesson When you stood by the water You and I Were so full of love and hope Would you give it all up now? Would you give in just to spite them all? Cause you give it all away And you give it all away now Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Cause you give it all away And you give it all away now Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Lay I lay in the long grass So many people So many people pass Stay Stay here and lie on back Get down in the cornfields Stay till we're caught at last Give it all away Give it all away now Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart And you give it all away Would you give it all away now? Don't let it come apart Don't want to see you come apart Would you give it all away? Would you give it all away? Would you give it all away? Give it all away Give it all away Give it all away Give it all away & Ain't No Sunshine Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone She's gone much too long Any time she goes away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Wonder if she's gone to stay Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home Anytime she goes away I know She's gone to stay It's breakin' me up Anytime she goes away Gotta leave the young thing alone There ain't no sunshine when she's gone Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And she's gone much too long Any time she goes away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone I wonder if she's gone to stay There ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't a home Any time she goes away those 2 were first that came to mind. 'Aint no sunshine' reminds me of late afternoon Chang's watching the girls go by .............oh and 'ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang walla walla bang bang' & 'dragostea din tai' hold a special place in my heart too.

redrus Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 George Formby - When I'm Cleaning Windows. When I'm Cleaning Windows George Formby - written by George Formby, Harry Gifford and Frederick E. Cliffe - as recorded September 27, 1936 by George Formby (1904-1961) Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job Now it's a job that just suits me A window cleaner you would be If you can see what I can see When I'm cleanin' windows Honeymoonin' couples too You should see them bill 'n coo You'd be surprised at things they do When I'm cleanin' windows In my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top The blushin' bride, she looks divine The bridegroom he is doin' fine I'd rather have his job than mine When I'm cleanin' windows The chambermaids' sweet names I call It's a wonder I don't fall My mind's not on my work at all When I'm cleanin' windows I know a fella, such a swell He has a thirst, that's plain to tell I've seen him drink his bath as well When I'm cleanin' windows Oh, in my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top Pyjamas lyin' side by side Ladies nighties I have spied I've often seen what goes inside When I'm cleanin' windows ------ banjo ------ Now there's a famous talkie queen She looks a flapper on the screen She's more like eightie than eighteen When I'm cleanin' windows She pulls her hair all down behind Then pulls down her... never mind And after that pulls down the blind When I'm cleanin' windows In my profession I'll work hard But I'll never stop I'll climb this blinkin' ladder Till I get right to the top An old maid walks around the floor She's so fed up, one day I'm sure She'll drag me in and lock the door When I'm cleanin' windows When I'm cleanin' windows ------------------------------------------------------------- redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baht&sold Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Before my time but I love it and due to unintelligible lyrics, this is about as close as it gets- anyone? (btw, Washington State almost made this their official song not long ago, narrowly voted down;) The Kingsmen (1955) Louie Louie CHORUS: Louie Louie, oh no Me gotta go Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said Louie Louie, oh baby Me gotta go Fine little girl waits for me Catch a ship across the sea Sail that ship about, all alone Never know if I make it home CHORUS Three nights and days I sail the sea Think of girl, constantly On that ship, I dream she's there I smell the rose in her hair. CHORUS Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now! GUITAR SOLO See Jamaica, the moon above It won't be long, me see me love Take her in my arms again Tell her I'll never leave again CHORUS Let's take it on outa here now Let's go!!

coldcrush Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Grandmaster Flash - The Message. Broken glass everywhere People pissing on the stairs, you know they just Don’t care I can’t take the smell, I can’t take the noise Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice Rats in the front room, roaches in the back Junkie’s in the alley with a baseball bat I tried to get away, but I couldn’t get far Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car Chorus: Don’t push me, cause I’m close to the edge I’m trying not to loose my head It’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder How I keep from going under Standing on the front stoop, hangin’ out the window Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes Blow Crazy lady, livin’ in a bag Eating out of garbage piles, used to be a fag-hag Search and test a tango, skips the life and then go To search a prince to see the last of senses Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps So she can tell the stories to the girls back home She went to the city and got so so so ditty She had to get a pimp, she couldn’t make it on her Own Chorus: It’s like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder How I keep from goin’ under My brother’s doing fast on my mother’s t.v. Says she watches to much, is just not healthy All my children in the daytime, dallas at night Can’t even see the game or the sugar ray fight Bill collectors they ring my phone And scare my wife when I’m not home Got a bum education, double-digit inflation Can’t take the train to the job, there’s a strike At the station Me on king kong standin’ on my back Can’t stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac Midrange, migraine, cancered membrane Sometimes I think I’m going insane, I swear I might Hijack a plane! Chorus: My son said daddy I don’t wanna go to school Cause the teacher’s a jerk, he must think I’m a Fool And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it’d be Cheaper If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper I dance to the beat, shuffle my feet Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps Cause it’s all about money, ain’t a ###### thing Funny You got to have a con in this land of milk and Honey They push that girl in front of a train Took her to a doctor, sowed the arm on again Stabbed that man, right in his heart Gave him a transplant before a brand new start I can’t walk through the park, cause it’s crazy After the dark Keep my hand on the gun, cause they got me on the Run I feel like an outlaw, broke my last fast jaw Hear them say you want some more, livin’ on a Seesaw Chorus: A child was born, with no state of mind Blind to the ways of mankind God is smiling on you but he’s frowning too Cause only God knows what you go through You grow in the ghetto, living second rate And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate The places you play and where you stay Looks like one great big alley way You’ll admire all the number book takers Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens And you wanna grow up to be just like them Smugglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers Pickpockets, peddlers and even pan-handlers You say I’m cool, I’m no fool But then you wind up dropping out of high school Now you’re unemployed, all null ’n’ void Walking around like you’re pretty boy floyd Turned stickup kid, look what you done did Got send up for a eight year bid Now your man is took and you’re a may tag Spend the next two years as an undercover fag Being used and abused, and served like hel_l Till one day you was find hung dead in a cell It was plain to see that your life was lost You was cold and your body swung back and forth But now your eyes sing the sad sad song Of how you lived so fast and died so young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaibebop Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Lamb Of God-Laid To Rest If there was a single day I could live.... a single breathe I could take, I'd trade all the others away. The blood's on the wall, so you might as well just admit it. And bleach out the stains, commit to forgeting it. You're better off empty and blank than left with a single pathetic trace of this. Smother another failure, lay this to rest. Console yourself, you're better alone. Destroy yourself, see who gives a fck. Absorb yourself, you're better alone. Destroy yourself. I'll chain you to the truth, for the truth will set you free. I'll turn the screws of vengeance and bury you with honesty. I'll make all your dreams come to life, then slay them as quickly as they came. Smoother another failure, lay this to rest. Console yourself, you're better alone. Destroy yourself, see who gives a fck. Absorb yourself, you're better alone. Destroy yourself, see who gives a fck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game4shame Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) Oasis Half the world away I would like to leave this city This old town don't smell too pretty and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum Cos I can feel the warning signs running around my mind So here I go, I'm still scratching around the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway You're half the world away Half the world away Half the world away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down. And when I leave this planet You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind And if I could leave this spirit I'd find me a hole and I'll live in it 'cos I can feel the warning signs running around my mind So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can give me the dreams that are mine anyway You're half the world away Half the world away Half the world away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down No I don't feel down No I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down I don't feel down This toon came into my head while walking to work in the gale-force, horizontal, Scottish rain!!

And I bet that this is how life Turns out when you finally grow old And you know this is my life Sit around all day and I moan I'm halfway up to the bottom Of another bottle Of my next best favourite friend Am I cracking up Or just getting older?

kayo Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The drinking dens are spilling out There's staggering in the square There's lads and lasses falling about And a crackling in the air Down around the dungeon doors The shelters and the queues Everybody's looking for Somebody arms to fall into And it's what it is It's what it is now There's frost on the graves and the monuments But the taverns are warm in town People curse the government And shovel hot food down The lights are out in the city hall The castle and the keep The moon shines down upon it all The legless and asleep And it's cold on the tollgate With the wagons creeping through Cold on the tollgate God knows what I could do with you And it's what it is It's what it is now The garrison sleeps in the citadel With the ghosts and the ancient stones High up on the parapet A Scottish piper stands alone And high on the wind The highland drums begin to roll And something from the past just comes And stares into my soul And it's cold on the tollgate With the Caledonian blues Cold on the tollgate God knows what I could do with you And it's what it is It's what it is now What it is It's what it is now There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick There's a lantern in the tower Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick Still writing songs in the wee wee hours On Charlotte Street I take A walking stick from my hotel The ghost of Dirty Dick Is still in search of Little Nell And it's what it is It's what it is now Oh it's what it is What it is now mark Knopfler.

kayo Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 back to musical wisdom, but i think i´ll stick with Waits forthe moment... Anywhere I lay my head My head is spinning round, my heart is in my shoes, yeah I went and set the Thames on fire, oh, now I must come back down She's laughing in her sleeve boys, I can feel it in my bones Oh, but anywhere I'm gonna lay my head, I'm gonna call my home Well I see that the world is upside-down Seems that my pockets were filled up with gold And now the clouds, well they've covered over And the wind is blowing cold Well I don't need anybody, because I learned, I learned to be alone Well I said anywhere, anywhere, anywhere I lay my head, boys Well I gonna call my home The Piano Has Been Drinking The piano has been drinking my necktie is asleep and the combo went back to New York the jukebox has to take a leak and the carpet needs a haircut and the spotlight looks like a prison break cause the telephone's out of cigarettes and the balcony's on the make and the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking... and the menus are all freezing and the lightman's blind in one eye and he can't see out of the other and the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid and he showed up with his mother and the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking cause the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler cream puff casper milk toast and the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fencepost cause the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking... and you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her and the box-office is drooling and the bar stools are on fire and the newspapers were fooling and the ash-trays have retired the piano has been drinking the piano has been drinking The piano has been drinking not me, not me, not me, not me, not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
