Name That Song

Voodoo Child ~ Stevie Ray Vaughn


White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

[rabid reader]

Emerson Lake and Palmer- Lucky Man


"Do you mean the attack is routine?"
A bird asked of a bird
"In this context, a concave nest,
how do we learn to hurt?"

[papayahed]

Leave - Tragically Hip


Buried beneath the statue the answer hides
Enduring throughout the ages
The transmitter lies
Once the chambers open the signal will be sent
To another world... Far beyond the stars

[NikolaiI]

Brown Eyed Girl - Rolling Stones


California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright - the song remains the same.

Sing out Hare Hare, dance the Hoochie Koo.
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding... sliding... sliding through.

[papayahed]

Brown Eyed Girl - Rolling Stones



ummmmm, no. That's not it.

[NikolaiI]

haha okay you didn't get it. I'm sorry for that, I know that's not it, I thought it was funny, though. I apologize.

[Bakiryu]

Buried beneath the statue the answer hides
Enduring throughout the ages
The transmitter lies
Once the chambers open the signal will be sent
To another world... Far beyond the stars

Misfits - Don't Open 'til Doomsday





The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows it's all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globe-trotter
Lonely roads, God only knows

[Shalot]

Lose Yourself - M & M :p (it doesn't take much to amuse me)



She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees

[Pendragon]

Whiskey Lullaby ~ Brad Paisley & Allison Kruse



I believe in faithfulness
I believe in giving to myself for someone else
I believe in peace and love
I believe in honesty and trust but it's not enough
For all that I believe may never change the way it is
Unless I believe Jesus lives

[papayahed]

Where there is faith - 4him


It was the third of September
That day I'll always remember
'Cause that was the day my daddy died
I never got a chance to see him
Never heard nothin' but bad things about him
Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the tuth
And Mama just hung her head and said, Son

[Pendragon]

Poppa Was A rolling Stone ~ Temptations???



Now there's a chance that if I hurry
I could beg her to stay
But that water's right
And the weather's perfect
No tellin' what I might catch today

[Shalot]

I'm Gonna Miss Her - Brad Paisley




i know you're rich in
good clothes and little things
your mind is fancy
(and your car is *****in')

[papayahed]

Is she weird - pixies


I thought love was only
true in fairy tales,
Meant for someone
else, but not for me
Ah, love was out to get me,
That's the way it seemed,
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face,

[Granny5]

I'm a Believer by The Monkey's written by Neil Diamond

Somethings going
someones on the phone
three o'clock in the morning
telling me
she can make it right

Love And Happiness by Etta JAMES (I think)

[Bakiryu]

and my song is......

There's a lightning storm each and every night
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
Grind the teeth in our, our empty mouths
Our empty


There's a forest fire burning bright
Spreading quickly towards our last rights
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
Pretending

[Pendragon]

Alkaline Trio ~ Burn (Googled)



God bless cowboys
God bless gold
God bless my uncle, God rest his soul
He taught me well, boys
He taught me all I know
Taught me so that I grabbed the gold
left him lying there by the side of the road.

[BlueSkyGB]

Me and my Uncle......:lol:
listened to the Grateful Dead version this AM....:D


"The festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fall,
The cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wall.
The curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut down,
Anyone with any sense had already left town."

[papayahed]

Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts - Bob Dylan



Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

[Idril]

:D The Rainbow Connection ~ Kermit ;)


It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

:lol: :D :lol:
Its not easy being Green.....Kermit



"Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more!
Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way"

[Shalot]

The Ocean - Led Zeppelin (funny - I listened to Houses of the Holy twice today at work)

Here's another good song by one of those seventies bands that defined rock (I think I heard that somewhere - maybe on VH1 :goof:)



We sail through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears
Light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze
In orbit always

[BlueSkyGB]

Pantera ......Planet Caravan
you left a clue in another thread....LOL

She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar

Brother Louie ~ Bon Jovi (love Bon Jovi)



An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free

[Granny5]

You Give Love A Bad Name - Bon Jovi
(you gave me the answer instead of Hot Chocolate for Brother Louie)

Standing on the mountain
looking down at the city
the way I feel in a dog gone pity

[Bakiryu]

Mountain of love~ Johny Rivers (googled!)

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better ,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,

A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,

[Shalot]

Pantera ......Planet Caravan
you left a clue in another thread....LOL





But no - the original was Black Sabbath. didn't they always say that Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin set the templates for what we have today as far as rock music goes? Black Sabbath was dark and aggressive (think Metallica Megadeath and I guess Pantera)

[Shalot]

Mountain of love~ Johny Rivers (googled!)

A friend in needs a friend indeed,

A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,

No one is complaining though,
come in and shut the door
Faded is the crimson from the
ribbons that she wore
and it's strange how no one
comes round anymore"

Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them.

No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I to know?
Tell me scarlet sun
what will time allow?
We have brought our children
here Who can save them now?
Oh, Weeping woman try to smile
Like the coming dawn

[NikolaiI]

Most of us are Sad - The Eagles


You should have seen him
Lying alone in helpless silence in the night
You should have seen him
You would have seen his eye reflecting in the light
So for the old man
Ashes to ashes, earth to earth and dust to dust
No one will see me
No one with guilt to share, no secret soul to trust
And he won't be found at all
Not a trace to mark his fall
Nor a stain upon the wall
Louder and louder
Till I could tell the sound was not within my ears
You should have seen me
You would have seen my eyes grow white and cold with fear

Heard all the things in Heaven and Earth
I've seen many things in Hell
But his vulture's eye of a cold pale blue
Is the eye if the Devil himself
Take me away now
But let the silence drown the beating of his heart
I can't go on
Let me be free from wretched sea that I can not see
Please let me be free

[Idril]

Wow! Another song from that disc! I listened to this album a LOT when I was a kid. I think my favorite song was Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether. Anyway, the song above is The Tell-Tale Heart by the Alan Parsons Project. :thumbs_up


I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before

Hairshirt - REM



I love the music
And I love to see the crowd.
Dancing in the aisles,
And singin' out loud.....yea
Here come the dancers, one by one.
Your momma's callin' but you're having fun.
You find your dancin' on the number 9 cloud.
Put your hands together now, and sing it out loud.

[Shalot]

Rock N Roll Fantasy - Bad Company




I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket*




*Grammar alert: what is wrong with this phrase? :D

And honestly, how many more times are they going to play this on the radio????

[Shalot]

No way! That's PURE MORNING by Placebo!!@:)

Really? There are at least 10 links to "Friend With Weed" by Butthole Surfers, and then those exact lyrics follow.

Of course, the track doesn't appear on any of their albums - I thought maybe they covered it or something.

GEEEEZZZ

BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY - Fergie


You, You belong to me now

I wanted a junction, and often there was one

and I still believe in the phrases that we breathed
but I know the distance isn't fair to cross

[Idril]

I was thinking Neil Sedaka but Carpenters are good.

True Affection ~ The Blow! :D

Spinning awaiting her lover
So kiss her lips tonight

[Riesa]

Sex Is Not The Enemy ~ Garbage


But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
Know there is this side of me that
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
Fly the whole mess into the sea.

[Idril]

Young Pilgrims ~ The Shins...I love playing this game with you because I never have to google. :lol:


I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under your fate

[Riesa]

Into Dust ~ Mazzy Star !!! great song.
I know, this is the only time I've really enjoyed it. except for once XC posted a Tom Waits song, that was exciting. ;)

Settling down it takes time.
One day we'll live together,
and life will be better.

[Pendragon]

The New ~ Intrapol (Googled)



She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another
misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

[Pendragon]

Does Anybody See? ~ Casting Crowns



The doors to the mission open at seven
And the soup will be ready about nine
Right now its six-thirty, they're ragged and dirty
They standin' and sittin', and layin' in line
First they'll do a little singin', then hear a little preachin'
And get saved for the 3rd time this week
A bowl of soup later and a pat on the shoulder
And by midnight, they're back on the street.

They walk to the corner of 4th street and Broadway
Then take the first alley on the right
One of them asks a stranger, how 'bout a hand
And he gives 'em one finger at a time
Then they spot an old buddy, with a bottle of heaven
Then pass around what means ev'ry-thing
One bottle for four, thank God, someone scored
And now the Midnight Choir starts to sing.

[papayahed]

Midnight Choir - the Gatlin Brothers




Well, beat the drum and hold the phone - the sun came out today!
We're born again, there's new grass on the field.
A-roundin' third, and headed for home, it's a brown-eyed handsome man;
Anyone can understand the way I feel.

[Granny5]

Everybody's so different
I haven't changed

[BibliophileTRJ]

Life's Been Good - Eagles


Patience has her virtue still
but every grace must have its price
I through some felicity may spin a tale of constant vice
I took my better nature out, drowned it in the babbling stream
Took the blossom of my youth and blew it all to smithereens

[Granny5]

Little Atoms - Elvis Costello (I love Elvis Costello!)



In the event of something happening to me

any morning, any evening, any day
Maybe the sun is shining

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..."

[BibliophileTRJ]

Box of Rain - Greatful Dead



Will I hold you again?

The Space Between - Dave Matthews Band


It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

[LadyWentworth]

Alcohol - Brad Paisley



He's acting shy looking for an answer

At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

[Pendragon]

Rod Stewart ~ Do Ya Think I'm Sexy



I got the letter you left under my door
Knocked me on my tail to the floor
Never knew two words could take such a bite
It said, "Dear Jon, Hello. Goodbye."
I saw your car parked outside Motel Cascade
Saw two shadows go to town on the shade
I can't believe my own lyin' eyes, oh my
It better be your girlfriend I saw going down some other guy
You told me you loved me, 'til death do us part
So tell me there's a tombstone where there used to be a heart

[Shalot]

Bon Jovi ~ Why Aren't You Dead?




Tell sanchito that if he knows what is good for him he best go run and hide.

It hurt me so bad when she told me
With tears in her eyes (tears in her eyes)
He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin'
Cause she knew he was gone to stay

[BlueSkyGB]

I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man...covered by many groups...

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,

catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner

no way to slow down."

Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull

Drying in the cold sun

"And the love that I feel is so far away:
I'm a bad dream that I just had today -- and you
shake your head and
say it's a shame.

Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth.
Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song."

[NikolaiI]

Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull



A mother was washing her baby one night,
The youngest of ten and a delicate mite.
The mother was poor and the baby was thin,
'Twas naught but an skelingtin covered with skin.

The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack.
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried,
"Oh, where 'as my baby gone?" The angels replied:

Oh, your baby has gone down the plug 'ole.
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug.
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,
He should 'ave been washed in a jug, in a jug.

Your baby is perfectly happy;
He won't need a bath anymore.
He's a-muckin' about with the angels above,
Not lost but gone before.

[Gadget Girl]

Mother's Lament - Cream


I remember when
I was hanging with my friends
That's when I caught your eye
You thought that I was fly
Right then you wished that I would be your baby (be your baby)
You try to get some game
Asking me girl what ya name
All that ice upon ya chain
So I asked you the same
Something tells me that we have fun together (fun together)

[NikolaiI]

Beautiful Girls - JoJo (I regret to say, I googled- I don't often! really! :))


In the half-tone light of a young morning
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
to kiss the Pussy Willow.

In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
in a sad voice nobody hears.
She waits in her castle of make-believing
for her white knight to appear.

[Pendragon]

The Broadsword and the Beast - Jethro Tull



Moon shining down through the palms
Shadows moving on the sand.
Somebody whispering the twenty-third psalm
Dusty rifle in his trembling hands.
Sombody trying just to stay alive.
He got promises to keep.
Over the ocean in America
Far away and fast asleep.
Silent stars bliking in the blackness of an endless sky;
New worlds are born
Pilgrims and prodigals creeping toward the dawn
But...

[NikolaiI]

Not the title of the song, Dale, but that's k. :D

[BlueSkyGB]

I'll catch this one for you Pen.....:)

Pussy Willow....


:D :) :D

Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.
I'll write on your tombstone, ''I thank you for dinner.''
This game that we animals play is a winner

[Shalot]

can I start this up again with new lyrics?




Would you like to see britannia,
Rule again, my friend?

Ah, you think you're so pretty

Laid - James


There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow

It's All Coming Back To Me Now~Celine Dion

(Right! Thanks, Grover!)



Well, Aint it a shame 'bout our short little memmory
We never seem to learn the lessons of history
We keep making the same mistakes--over and over and over again.
And then we wonder why we're in the shape we're in.
Good ol' boys down at the bar
Penanuts and politics
They think they know it all
They don't know much of nothin'
Even if one of 'em was to read anewspaper, cover to cover
That aint what's going on
Journilism dead and gone--

[NikolaiI]

And the love that you bring
Throughout the seasons
You're the one for me
You're the one I love to love
And you'll always be

Danny Boy...an oldie but goodie...

You can climb a mountain

We can make each other happy

Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You Belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up

Desolation Row - Bob Dylan

Get a dose of her in jackboots and kilt
She's killer-diller when she's dressed to the hilt
She's the kind of a girl that makes the News of the World
Yes, you could say she was attractively built

[BlueSkyGB]

Polythene Pam the Beatles


"Sometimes we live no
particular way but our own
Sometimes we visit your country

Sometimes we ride on your horses
Sometimes we walk alone
Sometimes the songs that we hear

Eyes of the World - Grateful Dead


She couldnt help thinkin that there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night

Hey, I know one finally!
"American Girl" - Tom Petty

Here's a slightly older one:


Hey man,
Im the sand man.
And boy have I news for you;
They're gonna throw you in gaol
And you know they can't fail
Cos sand is thicker than blood.
But a prison in sand
Is a haven in hell,
For a gaol can give you a goal
[and a] goal can find you a role
On a muddy pitch in newcastle,
Where it rains so much
You can't wait for a touch
Of sun and sand, sun and sand...

Within the valley of shadowless death
They pray for thunderclouds and rain,
But to the multitude who stand in the rain
Heaven is where the sun shines.
The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown
And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down.
Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn
To disbelieve the sea.

[Gadget Girl]

Mad Man Moon - Genesis :D


Told you I made dinner plans
You and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friend
Well I'm done
With awkward situation's empty conversations

[Pendragon]

Jonas Bros ~ SOS



Moon shining down through the palms
Shadows moving on the sand
Somebody whispering the twenty-third Psalm
Dusty rifle in his trembling hands
Somebody trying just to stay alive
He got promises to keep
Over the ocean in America
Far away and fast asleep.

Long Road Out Of Eden - The Eagles


Why in every fantasy
Do I feel your arms embracing me
Lovers lost in sweet desire
Why in dreams do I surrender
Lying with you baby
Someone help explain this feeling
Someone tell me

You Dropped a Bomb on Me ~ The Gap Band???

And since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg an' Bordeaux, France,
Been making the bars lots of big money,
An' helpin' white people dance.
I got you in trouble in High School,
But College, now that was a ball.
You had some of the best times you'll never remember with me

[Janine]

Tears Don't Fall ~ Bullet for my Valentine


Though we share this humble path, alone
How fragile is the heart
Oh give these clay feet wings to fly
To touch the face of the stars

Breathe life into this feeble heart
Lift this mortal veil of fear
Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears
We'll rise above these earthly cares

Chorus
Please remember me
Please remember me, ...

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'

But if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

Wild World ~ Cat Stevens? (I'm not very sure, so I'll wait, before I post more lyrics)

[djy78usa]

Il Penseroso, you're right, but since you didn't leave any lyrics, I'm gonna jump you:

"Sinatra was swinging,
all the drunks they were singing,
we kissed on the corner,
then danced through the night."

[Il Penseroso]

That doesn't seem quite fair, but ok, whatever.

Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,

In this great future, you cant forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh.

[djy78usa]

No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley (Also love this one)




So what's this feeling?
My love could rip a hole through the ceiling
I give myself to you from the essence of my being
and I Sing to my god these songs of love and healing
I want Mashiach now so it's time we start revealing

A little more recent (still reggae though, or close anyway) The "Mashiach" bit should be a bit of a giveaway :)

King With Out A Crown by Matisyahu


So stay alert, don't let them get you down
They tell you times are tough, you hear that times are hard
But when you work for that ace you know you pulled the right card
Hard times got our pockets all in chains
I'll tell you what, homeboy, it don't have my brain
All day I have to work at my peak
Beacuse I need that dollar every day of the weak

[Pendragon]

Hard Times ~ Run DMC




I got the call today, that I didn’t wanna’ hear
But I knew that it would come
Old true friend of ours was talking on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside loves open door
Make us throw of our contentment
And beg for something more?

The Heart Of The Matter- by Don Henley


I'm gonna keep walkin
Though it may seem far
I'm gonna keep reachin
when life gets too hard
Not gonna let you bring me down
I'll take The High Road

I'm gonna keep climbin
Till I see the top
I'm gonna keep tryin
Though I may get lost
Not gonna let you bring me down
I’ll take the high road

[papayahed]

The High Road - JoJo


Hey there, all you middle men
Throw away your fancy clothes
And while you're out there sittin' on a fence
So get off your *** and come down here
'Cause rock 'n' roll ain't no riddle man
To me it makes good, good sense

Heavy decibels are playing on my guitar
We got vibrations coming up from the floor
We're just listening to the rock that's giving too much noise
Are you deaf, you wanna hear some more

[Shalot]

Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution




'Cause in the middle of the night
It's cold and it's dark
And when I hear my name in vain
I know I haven't done my part
She just wants me to support her
And the best way that I've found
So with a gentle hand and a loving touch
I put that toilet seat down

[djy78usa]

Brad Paisley's Toilet Song (or Ode de Toilet, if you prefer) - you didn't think you could get that one past someone who lives just outside of Nashville did you :)


If you're drowning in the waters and you can't stay afloat
Ask Hasheem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope
You're lookin' for help from G_d; you say he couldn't be found
Searching up to the sky and looking beneath the ground

[Shalot]

Tennessee??? So, I guess you're on the plateau? I'm Down in the Valley...Awesome! I have to say, I've never heard of this so I had to google so I am guessing: MATISYAHU - King Without a Crown (copied and pasted right out of a site I found on google :) )




People say I'm no-good,
And crazy as a loon.
I get stoned in the morning,
I get drunk in the afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue tick hound,
I like to lay around in the shade,
An', I ain't got no money,
But I damn sure got it made.

[djy78usa]

That seems familiar, but I can't quite place it. I'm thinking it's Hank Jr. or Charlie Daniels. And I actually don't live in Tennessee, I'm about half a mile over the state line (KY side) on Fort Campbell (about 45 miles north west of Nashville).

[papayahed]

Long Haired Country Boy - Charlie Daniels


You've got a smile so bright,
you know you could have been a candle.
I'm holding you so tight,
you know you could have been a handle.
The way you swept me off my feet,
you know you could have been a broom.
The way you smelled so sweet,
you know you could have been some perfume.

Well, you could have been anything that you wanted to,

[Pendragon]

Apparently Holy Driver is by Killswitch Engage!



Everytime you take a sip
In this smoky atmosphere
You press that bottle to your lips
And I wish I was your beer
And in the small there of your back
Your jeans are playing peek-a-boo
I'd like to see the other half
Of your butterfly tattoo

I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human

Mr. Roboto - Styx


The humans are dead.

Robots, robot people
They had so much aggression
That we just had to kill them,
Had to shut their systems down.

It's Dio (the original). But I guess Killswitch Engage did do a cover of it.

[Basil]

Iron Man - Black Sabbath

Up where the smoke is all billered and curled
'Tween pavement and stars is the chimney sweep world...
When there's hardly no day
Nor hardly no night
There's things half in shadow
And half way in light
On the roof tops of London...coo, what a sight!

[Annamariah]

Chim Chim Cheree from Mary Poppins


Why do I miss someone
I never met, with bated breath I lay
Seawinds brought her to me
A butterfly, mere one-day miracle of life
And all the poetry in the world
Finally makes sense to me
Save one death for me

Wake now, discover that you

"Accidents Will Happen" Lyrics by "Elvis Costello"


All the years combine
they melt into a dream
A broken angel sings

In the end there's just a song

through all the broken dreams
and vanished years.

So the years went by, I stayed the same
And she began to drift away, I was left alone
Still I waited for the day, when she’d say "i will always love you."

When I think about the previous relationship we shared
It was awesome, but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care

'Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars when the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space
Where he won't have a hassle with the human race

And now he only eats guitars, get up!

Caught here in a fiery blaze,

No oasis here to see,
the sand is singing deathless words to me

Gonna buy a tank and an aeroplane

I may end up spending all my money
But I'll still be alive

Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

I got you, Babe....Sonny and Cher

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell

You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time

KNOCKING AT YOUR BACK DOOR - Deep Purple

I wont take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I wont take it all lying down,
cause once I get started I go to town

Been too unkind

Lucky by Jason Mraz


I told her that I came
From Detroit City
And I played guitar
In a long-haired rock 'n' roll band

She asked me why
The singer's name was Alice
I said, listen baby
You really wouldn't understand, then I said

[Shalot]

Be My Lover - Alice Cooper



And he's old

And he's blind

Freakscene - Dinosaur Jr.



They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Kung Fu Fighting! :D

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along

Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever



The cabaret was empty now, a sign said, "Closed for repair,"
Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hair.
She was thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very rarely saw,
Thinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the law.
But, most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of Hearts.

[rozreads]

Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts-Bob Dylan

Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?

[BlueSkyGB]

Ah yes,,one of my favs...
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

here's another oldie...


"I must have been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone"

[rozreads]

It's "Fooled Around and Fell in Love"- but I can't remember who did it- does that count?


Jennifer Juniper lives upon the hill,
Jennifer Juniper, sitting very still.
Is she sleeping ? I don't think so.
Is she breathing ? Yes, very low.
Whatcha doing, Jennifer, my love ?
Jennifer Juniper, rides a dappled mare,
Jennifer Juniper, lilacs in her hair.

[rozreads]

Doen't anyone know this one? It's been like a week!?

[BlueSkyGB]

Not too many here into oldies....LOL

Donavan..I think...
didn't he also do Mellow Yellow?

okay here's another..

With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace,
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace,
And your basement clothes and your hollow face,
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims,
And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns,
Who among them would try to impress you?

[rozreads]

Quite Rightly-Donovan- He did Mellow Yellow Too
Yours is Sad Eyed Lady Of the Lowlands-You like Dylan don't you?

Here's a more current one...let's see who's into alt.rock


Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white so delicate
So lost in the cold

[papayahed]

Pictures of You - the Cure


One of my favorite songs ever:

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

[rozreads]

Doesn't remind me- Chris Cornell

"Up the stairs to her appartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her Mom and dad went down the Sharlen
They're not home to find us out"

[rozreads]

Okay..Have I stumped everybody again?

[Basil]

Brick by Ben Folds Five, but I think the words "the Sharlen" are supposed to be "to Charlotte." :)

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs...

[MarkBastable]

'My Favourite Things' from The Sound of Music.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with string
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things


I was thinking about this today, and I thought, "How very bloody convenient that so many of her favourite things rhyme."

I mean, mittens and kittens. Strudels and noodles.

"That's not good lyric writing," I thought. "That's just listing stuff from the rhyming dictionary."

But then I started to consider my own favourite things. Like, my favourite drink is champagne and my favourite drug is cocaine. My favourite city's New York and my favourite roast is - yes - pork. Suddenly it occurred to me that some weird, mischievous force in the universe is giving us all favourite things in rhyming pairs! It's incredible! And it just goes on and on when you think about it...

My favourite team are the RedSox and my favourite bagel is lox. Amazing! My favourite card game is poker and my favourite colour is ochre!

You ought to try this yourself.

My favourite musician, by far, is Charlie Mingus and - wouldn't you know it - my favourite pastime is, er, carpentry.

Anyway....

Boy, Mark, I think this could be a whole new thread! But it might shut down Litnet! I loved the rhyming, though.

[BlueSkyGB]

Back on Topic....LOL

Here's another oldie but goodie...

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time

Oh..so you're supposed to get the words right? Huh...
Well, I'm embarrassed..that's what you get for cutting and pasting. No wonder no one could guess.

I think this one is "Left and Leaving" by the Weakerthans (Isn't that name great?"

Hopefully these words are right this time:

"I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive"

[Scheherazade]

I like boys with strong convictions
and convicts with perfect diction
underdogs with good intentions
amputees with stamp collections
plywood skinboards ride the ocean
salty noses suntan lotion
always seriously joking
and rambunctiously soft-spoken

So Nice, So Smart - Kimya Dawson (Wow, Scher, you listen to Kimya Dawson?)


No one on the corner has swagger like us
Hit me on my banner, prepaid wireless
We pack and deliver like UPS trucks
Already going to hell, just pumping that gas

[Scheherazade]

So Nice, So Smart - Kimya Dawson (Wow, Scher, you listen to Kimya Dawson?)Gee, you copy some lyrics and people start spreading rumours about you... Listening to Kimya Dawson, indeed!

[Basil]

Jeez, Scher--I mean, I guess it was a dumb question, but there's no need to be nasty about it.

Here's a new one, since the last one got spoiled:

And now they say:
We'll never forget what he learned us
We were mean to him
But he never burned us
And love is forever
Thanks to you....

Casper the Friendly Ghost - Daniel Johnson (Nice !!!:D)



So don't misunderstand me
You put the light in my life
You put the sparks to the flame
I've got your heart in my sights

[Nightshade]

Don't go breaking my heart?


If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?

[papayahed]

Run to Me - Bee Gees


You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

[Basil]

Can't Smile Without You - Barry Manilow

I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears
but it's all right.

Cows giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene
but it's all right

[Basil]

Oh, I know this one-it's Touch of Grey by the Grateful Dead, right?

The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh WAY oh)
You drop your drink, then they bring you more

All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh WAY oh)...

[MarkBastable]

Walk Like an Egyptian - The Bangles



I'm the guilty party and I want my slice,
But I know you've got me and I'm in a grip-like vice.

Party Girl - Elvis Costello


I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

[BlueSkyGB]

Otis Redding-Sitting on the dock of the bay....


Well, if you're travelin' in the north country fair,
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline,
Remember me to one who lives there.
She once was a true love of mine.

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

I love America
Her secret's safe with me
And I know her wicked ways
The parts you never see

Miss America by David Byrne


I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why youre making me work so hard

[Basil]

A Little Respect - Erasure

I go: No mom, I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know. Why don't you get me a Pepsi?
She goes: No, you're on drugs!
I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking.
She goes: No, you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't be acting that way!
I go: Mom just get me a Pepsi, please. All I want is a Pepsi.
And she wouldn't give it to me!
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
And she wouldn't give it to me.
Just a Pepsi.

Suicidal Tendencies ~ Institutionalized...I had to google. :redface:


Nothing's prettier than a pretty girl digging a heart shaped hole in the ground. Hear that sound? That's the fortress 'round your heart crumbling down.

[MarkBastable]

Suicidal Tendencies ~ Institutionalized...I had to google. :redface:

Isn't googling against the spirit of the thing? I mean, if googling's okay, no song will be up there longer than it takes the first person who reads it to cut'n'paste it.

Surely the idea of the game is to test what people know, not what they can find out - simply because anyone could find out.

That our options diminish
As our faculties for choice increase...
