Well you are progressive quite nicely aren't you. Should learn a Beatles song, I bought a book with the all their songs, a bit expensive but worth it. Currently learning Yesterday, coming across nicely too

I like to think so, although I have got a few tabs that are just mind blowing, maybe sometime later when I am Eric Clapton I should really do the Beatles thing but I am a bit of a philistine when it comes to the Beatles, perhaps when I learn their songs I will in fact warm to them a bit more.

Yesterday...all my troubles seemed so far away etc.

[garazdawi]

Ok lets see if I know it by heart.....

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed to far away
now I need a place to hade away oh I belive in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
there's a shadow hanging over me
oh yesterday came suddenly

Why, she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterdayayayay

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now i need a place to hide away
Oh I belive in yesterday....

hmmhmmhmhmhmhmmhm (this is supposed to symbilize humming )


Ok all was there anything I missed in there?

[Tamerlane]

LOL@garazdawi

Thats about it, you can pretty much hum the verses.

[Tybaltus]

A song this group wrote in protest against the way the public acts and the problems with society. They liked this song enough to name their group after it.

General Public by General Public


Come and join the federation
We could have communication
You can have your application
Be inside the battle station
Could this be your fascination
Look out for hallucinations
Stick right to the regulations
Must keep down the population

That right you could act so badly
People never notice sadly
All the goings on behind the backs
of men left well deserted

Seek out individuality
Make sure you show hospitality
Face it now cause its reality
Watch the change in personality
What's to change humanity?

That right you could act so badly
People never notice sadly
All the goings on behind the backs
of men left well deserted

Uhuh general public
Uhuh general public
Uhuh general public
Uhuh general public

Keep your head down
Start to fire
Show them you're the terrifier
he claims he's a justifier
Can't you see that he's a liar
Got to act as if you're slyer
You can be the supplier

That right you could act so badly
People never notice sadly
All the goings on behind the backs
of men left well deserted

Uhuh general public
Uhuh general public
Uhuh general public

[KidD01]

Don't remember anyone post this, here goes....

Uhh Hmmm..........

U Can't Touch This !
MC Hammer
From the album "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em"

You can't touch this (Repeat 5x)

My my my music hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh my Lord"
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to rhyme and two hype feet
It feels good when you know you're down
A super dope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a beat uh you can't touch

I told you homeboy (You can't touch this)
Yeah that's how we living and you know (You can't touch this)
Look at my eyes, man (You can't touch this)
Yo, let me bust the funky lyrics (You can't touch this)

Fresh new kicks, advance
You gotta like that, now you know you wanna dance
So move, outta your seat
And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling, hold on
Pump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that, like that
Cold on a mission so fall them back
Let 'em know, that you're too much
And this is a beat, uh, you can't touch

Yo, I told you (You can't touch this)
Why you standing there, man? (You can't touch this)
Yo, sound the bell, school is in, sucka (You can't touch this)

Give me a song, or rhythm
Make 'em sweat, that's what I'm giving 'em
Now, they know
You talking about the Hammer you talking about a show
That's hype, and tight
Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe
Or a tape, to learn
What's it gonna take in the 90's to burn
The charts? Legit
Either work hard or you might as well quit

That's word because you know...

You can't touch this (Repeat 3x)

Break it down! (Music breaks down) Stop, Hammer time!

Go with the funk, it is said
That if you can't groove to this then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves, fun your fingers through your hair
This is it, for a winner
Dance to this and you're gonna get thinner
Move, slide your rump
Just for a minute let's all do the bump, bump, bump

Yeah... (You can't touch this)
Look, man (You can't touch this)
You better get hype, boy, because you know (You can't touch this)
Ring the bell, school's back in (You can't touch this)

Break it down! (Crazy bridge) Stop, Hammer time!

You can't touch this (Repeat 4x)

Break it down! (Nice pants, Hammer) Stop, Hammer time!

Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hype
I'm dope on the floor and I'm magic on the mic
Now why would I ever stop doing this?
With others making records that just don't hit
I've toured around the world, from London to the Bay
It's "Hammer, go Hammer, MC Hammer, yo Hammer"
And the rest can go and play

You can't touch this (Repeat 8x)

[Beldin]

another Monty Python gem....

"A Song For The Sensitive "


How sweet to be an idiot
As harmless as a cow
Too small to hide the sun
Almost poking fun
At the warm but insecure untidy crowd
How sweet to be an idiot
And dip my brain in joy
Children laughing at my back
With no fear of attack
As much retaliation as a toy
How sweet to be an idiot
How sweet
I tiptoe down the street
Smile at everyone I meet
But suddenly a scream
Smashes through my dream
Fi fa fo fum
I smell blood of an asylum
Hey you
You're such a pedant
You've got as much brain as a dead ant
As much imagination as a caravan site
But I still love you
Still love you
How sweet to be an idiot
How sweet
How sweet
How sweet

[Tamerlane]

Its finally out. I've waited years for this but its finally out. Zwan's debut album

Honestly - Zwan

I believe
I believe
I believe
I believe the love you talk about with me
Is it true, do I care
Honestly, you can try to wipe the memories aside
But it's you that you erase

'Cause there's no place that I could be without you
It's too far to discard the life I once knew
Honestly, all the weather and storms aflame
Are just a picture of my needs
'Cause when I think of you as mine
And allow myself with time
To lead into the life we want
I feel love, honestly
I feel love, it's honestly

I believe you mean the best that life can bring
I believe in it all
Honestly, you can try
Your heart is just as long as mine
Is it ours to let go

'Cause there's not place that I could be without you
It's too dark to discard the life I once knew
Honestly, a single wrong is not enough
To cover up the pain in us
'Cause when I think of you as mine
And allow myself with time
To lead into the life we want
I feel love, honestly
I'll make a joke so you must laugh
I'll break your heart so you must ask
Is this the way to get us back
I don't know, honestly
I don't know, it's honestly

There's no place that I could be without you
Honestly

There's no place that I could be without you
There's no place that I could be without you
There's no place that I could be without you
There's no place that I could be without you
Honestly

Kameleon goes all soppy...

Possession

Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide,
Voices trapped in yearning,
memories trapped in time,
The night is my companion
and solitude my guide,
Would I spend forever here
and not be satisfied,

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear

Through this world I've stumbled
so many times betrayed,
Trying to find an honest word,
to find the truth enslaved,
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath,
you words keep me alive,

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander,
it's morning that I dread,
Another day of knowing of
the path I fear to tread,
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride,
Nothing stands between us here
and I won't be denied,

And I would be the one
to hold you down,
kiss you so hard,
I'll take your breath away
and after I'd wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes dear...

[The Z]

Somewhat depressing

"Wonderful" - Everclear

"Hey, ain't life wonderful? Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... Isn't it wonderful now?"

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now

Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...

I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

[Robnark]

oh yes...

Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign of for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

If you like adventure
Don't you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don't you hesitate
There is no need to wait
They're signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young
To join up today
Bout don't you worry 'bout a thing
For I'm sure there will be
Always a good navy
Protecting the land and sea

In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

Who me?

They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit

But, but but I'm afraid of water.
Hey, hey look
Man, I get seasick even watchin' it on TV!

They want you, they want you in the navy

Oh my goodness.
What am I gonna do in a submarine?

They want you, they want you in the navy

"The Man Who Sold The World"

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

In memoriam Maurice Gibb

Two of Robin Gibb 80's song in loving memory of Maurice Gibb

Boys Do Fall In Love

Baby said you got to be a lover one way or the other.
Nobody wins without once givin' in so don't cry now
don't cry now.
Love is just a game you play in high school
girls know how to be cruel
Most of the time girls are cruel to be kind
so don't cry now
don't cry :
And we try to be cool as we dance in a crowded room

At the end of the day makin' love to the paper moon
and she said -
Boys do fall in love
they make time
makin' love on a saturday night.
And she said
hearts will be as they dance in the street to a radio -
Oh
boys fall in love.
Baby knows I like to be excited
no one wants to fight it.
It's getting late so I'll just demonstrate
don't cry now
don't cry now.
And we try to be cool as we dance in a crowded room.
At the end of the day makin' love to a paper moon
she said -
Boys do fall in love
they make time
makin' love on a saturday night. .
Boys do fall in love
they make time
makin' love on a satuday night. .

Boys
boys
oh
boys
boys
boys
oh
oh

Boys
boys
boys
oh
oh
boys
boys
boys
oh
oh.
Boys do fall in love
they make time
makin' love on a saturday night. .
Boys do fall in love
they make time
makin' love on a saturday night.

Juliet

I steal the night away
drivin' my life away dancin'
I was a Romeo
I knew the art of romancin'.
I was just one of the guys and I thought I had it made.
I needed someone to show me
how to love.
Juliet
oh Juliet
the night was magic when we first met.
Juliet
oh Juliet
you know you taught me to fly.
You take me clear to the sky
and all the people around the world can
Stand aside
for me and my baby - Juliet.

Fighting with destiny
fortune and fame but kept losin'.
Playin' a joker's game
only myself I was foolin'.

I was an average guy in a world of empty dreams.
You've broken down all the walls
with your love.

Juliet
oh Juliet
this guy's in love with you don't forget.
Juliet
oh Juliet
you know you taught me to fly
you take me clear to the sky
And all the People around the world can stand aside.
Close your eyes
Juliet
don't let go.
On and on our love is like the sun
it keeps on goin' strong like eternity.
I wanna love you in my life
sweet Juliet.
Livin' without love in my life
my girl Juliet.

Juliet
oh Juliet
this guy's in love with you don't forget. . ..
Juliet
oh Juliet
this guy's in love with you don't forget. . ..
Juliet
I oh Juliet.

Tears Roll Down by Tears for Fears

Chewed the bone down too low
Got fed on tea and sympathy
Blew the sail like the wind
I wish you were my enemy
I was humble for you
What a fool I've been to have
Laid so low for so long

Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down

Drew the blade way too slow
Was shackled by your honesty
Made a mess, I guess I have should have known
That life was lust and liberty
Not a chance mutation or the last temptation
Laid so low for so long, so low

Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down

[Nightmare]

Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings

The world is a vampire,
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers,
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I get,
For my pain
Betrayed desires,
And a piece of the game
Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool
And cold-like old job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked,
Nothing but an animal
But can you fake it,
For just one more show
And what do you want,
I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same
Even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool
And cold-like old job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

And I still believe
That I cannot be saved

Great song.

Strawman

We who have so much to you who have so little
to you who don't have anything at all
We who have so much more than any one man does need
and you who don't have anything at all, ah
Does anybody need another million dollar movie
does anybody need another million dollar star
Does anybody need to be told over and over
spitting in the wind comes back at you twice as hard

Strawman, going straight to the devil
strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman
strawman
Strawman
strawman, yes

Does anyone really need a billion dollar rocket
does anyone need a 60,000 dollars car
Does anyone need another president
or the sins of Swaggart parts 6, 7, 8 and 9, ah
Does anyone need yet another politician
caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole
Does anyone need another racist preacher
spittin' in the wind can only do you harm, ooohhh

Strawman, going straight to the devil
strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going straight to the devil

Strawman
strawman
Strawman
strawman

Does anyone need another faulty shuttle
blasting off to the moon, Venus or Mars
Does anybody need another self-righteous rock singer
whose nose he says has led him straight to God
Does anyone need yet another blank skyscraper
if you're like me I'm sure a minor miracle will do
A flaming sword or maybe a gold ark floating up the Hudson
when you spit in the wind it comes right back at you

Strawman, going straight to the devil
Strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going to the devil

Strawman, strawman
strawman, ...., ah
Strawman
strawman

E, wow, Emiliana on the lyrics thread, I am shocked So my prattling wasn't wasted after all Another reccommendation is Beth Gibbons most recent album Out of Season, it is absolutely fantastic.

Yes, I like her, thanks for the recommendation I will check out Beth Gibbons as well.

I just watched the excellent concert Björk held at Covent garden last year and I can't believe I seem to have forgotten to post my favorite songs of the only pop artist I really like in a seriously way. ..

Björk - Hunter

If travel is searching
and home has been found

I'm not stopping

I'm going hunting
i'm the hunter
i'll bring back the goods
but i don't know when

Thought i could organise freedom
how Scandinavian of me
you sussed it out, didn't you?

You could smell it
so you left me on my own
to complete the mission
now i'm leaving it all behind

I'm going hunting
i'm the hunter...

(you just didn't know me!)

(you just didn't know me!)
