These old love letters
Well, I just can't keep
'Cause like the gambler says
Read 'em and weep
And the dawn don't rescue me no more

I drove my polypropolene
Car on wheels of sponge
Then pulled into a wimpy bar
To have a rubber bun

Quote:
Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that)
Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad)
She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad)
but it's so hard to refuse.
Red Shoes - Elvis Csotello
Give that boy some freedom let him move around
Don't get in his way you'll only bring him down
Mama won't you let him, let him play some rock & roll , yeah
Let him play some rock & roll

Nat King Cole - Only a Paper Moon.
I was thinking of posting these lyrics in the "Song lyrics as poetry" thread, but I'll wait till someone gets it first.
Quote:
Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust,
An October's day, towards evening,
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough,
Salt on a deep chest seasoning.
Last of the line at an honest day's toil,
Turning the deep sod under,
Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone,
Flies at the nostrils plunder.
The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie
with the Shire on his feathers floating.
Hauling soft timber into the dusk
to bed on a warm straw coating.
No, I look younger than I am! ;)Quote:

Heavy Horse - Jethro Tull
Quote:
It started back in high school
So cool, king of the scene
You found that making people laugh
Was more than just a dream
The public took right to you
Like flies to a pile of ****
So funny and smart, so talented
But success just couldn’t fit
Wasting your life no future bright
Dancing on your grave
Efilnikufesin - Anthrax (googled needless to say)Quote:
and if some dim bulb should say
we were in love in some way
kick all his teeth in for me
and if you feel like keeping on kicking,
feel free
Needless to say??????? That's musical gold!!!!
:p Meaningless - The Magnetic Fields (no googling! :p)
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
Noooooo! Kansas, what horror :p
Carry on my way.
Carry on Wayward Son - KANSAS!!!!!!! (Thanks Jay)
Quote:
To keepin' silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
Damn I'm slow!
Well if it's any consolation, I did manage to get the song title wrong. :)
I thought this would be an easy one...
Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel (g-g-googled)
"Daddy?"
"Yes, son?"
"What does regret mean?"
"Well, son, a funny thing about regret is, it's better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven't done. And by the way: if you see your mom this weekend, would you be sure and tell her: SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!"

When he looked through the window
For the thousandth time
He saw a black horse fighting for its life
In a barbed wire fence
Fatally tangled
The more it struggled
The more it was strangled

Easy one:
Oh baby when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see baby, this is perfection
My Hips Don't Lie - Shakira (lil sis told me)
She put him out
Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart
He spent his whole life trying to forget
We washed him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough
To get her of his mind
Until the night...
Whiskey Lullabye - Melonie Cannon.
"Slowly recall all your mind
Why, your soul's gone cold, and your hope has run dry
Dead inside
Never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely
Slowly recall all your mind"

Quote:
Watch out homeboy, don't let it catch you
P-p-prices go up, don't let your pocket go down
When you got short money you're stuck on the ground
Turn around, get ready, keep your eye on the prize
And be on point for the future shock
Hard Times - Run DMC.
Quote:
you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
and most times you can hear 'em talk, other times you can't
Is this one THAT hard ????
No, it's not hard at all, I just haven't visited this thread in a very long time. That is Turn the Page, either by Bob Seeger or Metallica, I don't know which version you had in mind.

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?

He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

Someone right now is looking pretty tired staring at a laptop trying to get inspired Somebody living
right across the street shes wrote the best things shes written all week but her best friends coughing up
blood in the sink cant even think what happened feeling so confused and he knows it looks bad but there
nothing he can do I wonder what its like to be right there in his shoes
Right Now by Fort Minor (I googled)
Quote:
You be you and let me be me
No strings attached emotionally
I wanna get a little crazy
That's puttin' it plain
You got the medicine and I got the pain.
Open Invitation - Santana
Quote:
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
"You look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin' coal
Pourin' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you...
Oh, I actually know that one, Tangled Up In Blue by Bob Dylan.
Quote:
We've got rules and maps and guns in our backs
But we still can't just behave ourselves
Even if to save our own lives so, says I, we are a brutal kind.
The Shins - "So Says I" (heard it, but I am afraid I still had to cheat)
Quote:
When youre lying awake with a dismal headache and
Repose is tabood by anxiety,
I conceive you may use any language you choose to
Indulge in, without impropriety;
For your brain is on fire, the bed-clothes conspire of
Usual slumber to plunder you:
First your counter-pane goes, and uncovers your toes,
And your sheet slips demurely from under you;
Then the blanketing tickles, you feel like mixed
Pickles, so terribly sharp is the pricking,
And youre hot and youre cross, and you tumble and
Toss til theres nothing twixt you and the
Ticking.
I'm sorry; have I killed the thread with this bit of obscure silliness?
Lord Chancellor’s Nightmare Song by Todd RundgrenQuote:
Fix me a drink, make it a strong one,
Hey comrade, a drink, make it a long one,
My hands are shaking and my feet are numb,
My head is aching and the bar's going round,
And I'm so down, in this foreign town;
Moonlight and Vodka - Chris De Burgh
Quote:
And now you find yourself in '82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings
Okay, same song, different verse:
Quote:
I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face.

Um --- there were no more lyrics there so I'm going to try to start this one up again. If no one responds, that's fine too. But here are some lyrics from a happy little song:
The place I saw was far beneath
The surface of the sea
My sight was poor
But I was sure
The sirens sang their songs for me
They dance above me as I sink
I see them through a crystal haze....
Okay, no one cares but it's Phish - Bouncing Around the Room
Here's another:
Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Ooooh aah, Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Ooooh aah, is it just a waste of time
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
she won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama will keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall
Mother do think she's good enough for me
Mother do think she's dangerous to me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart
Oooh aah, mother will she break my heart
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girl friends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up till you get in
Mama will always find out where
You've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
You'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high.
