Song Lyrics

A song that characterizes an interesting year

This year has been quite an interesting trip, and with how well I've gone (as well the pitfalls I had here and there), I thought this fits pretty well.

The Rolling Stones - Don't Stop

Well you bit my lip and drew first blood
And wore my cold, cold heart
And your wrote your name right on my back
Boy your nails were sharp

Don’t stop
Honey don’t stop
Don’t stop
Baby don’t stop

Well I love your screams of passion
In the long hot summer night
But you pepper me with poison darts
And twisted in your knife

Don’t stop
Honey don’t stop
Don’t stop
Baby don’t stop

Well the only thing I ask of you
Is to hand me back some pride
Don’t you dump me on some dusty street
And hang me out to dry

Don’t stop
Honey don’t stop
Baby don’t stop
Baby don’t stop
Honey

I’m losing you
I know your heart is miles away
There’s a whisper there where once there was a storm
And all that’s left is that image that I’ll find a way
And some memories have tattered as they’ve torn

Don’t stop
Don’t stop
Baby don’t stop
Baby don’t stop
Honey baby don’t stop
Honey honey
Baby don’t stop
Baby don’t stop
Come on honey honey don’t stop
Well baby
Baby don’t stop
Baby baby don’t stop
My honey don’t stop
Don’t ya stop
Don’t stop...

Good song here. Very amusing when lipsynced by my friend. The feigned crying and everything. I guess you had to be there.

WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER -- Queen (words and music by Brian May)

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams,
Yet slips away from us?

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment
Set aside for us

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever

Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

Also, this very famous song that is a blast to sing on the top of your lungs when home alone. (don't ask...)

I WILL SURVIVE -- Gloria Gaynor

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
Now I hold my head up high
and you see me
somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me

About time I put up another lyric here

This one is really good.

Hearts On Fire - HammerFall

We saw the writings on the wall
When heathens ruled above us all
Tormented, we still heard the call
You come to bring us down
Wield the scepter, steal the crown
Time on the throne is running out

‘Cause seasons change but we are still the same
Event though the cold winds blow we’re burning like a flame

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel

Hearts On Fire

For years shunned by society
Outcasts, condemned for our beliefs
Our legions grew in secrecy

And now, the time is here
I see the Templars everywhere
The Freedom Call is drawing near

We hold our rebel banners up with pride
The colour’s crimson and the Hammer is the sign

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire
Burning for the steel

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire…

Hearts On Fire, Hearts On Fire
Burning, burning with desire…

Hearts On Fire

I'm posting this because the first line is true. And because I like it

Famous Blue Raincoat

It’s four in the morning, the end of december
I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better
New york is cold, but I like where I’m living
There’s music on clinton street all through the evening.

I hear that you’re building your little house deep in the desert
You’re living for nothing now, I hope you’re keeping some kind of record.

Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear
Did you ever go clear?

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older
Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder
You’d been to the station to meet every train
And you came home without lili marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life
And when she came back she was nobody’s wife.

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth
One more thin gypsy thief
Well I see jane’s awake --

She sends her regards.
And what can I tell you my brother, my killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you
I’m glad you stood in my way.

If you ever come by here, for jane or for me
Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes
I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

And jane came by with a lock of your hair
She said that you gave it to her
That night that you planned to go clear

-- sincerely, l. cohen

This song popped up in a SF discussion and I felt obligated to throw it up here

Bells Of Rhymney
-The Byrds, Mr. Tambourine Man

Oh what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of rhondda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of blaina
Put the vandals in court
Say the bells of newport
All would be well if, if, if, if
Say the green bells of cardiff
Why so worried sisters? why?
Sang the silver bells of wye
And what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of rhymney
Oh what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of rhymney
Is there hope for the future?
Say the brown bells of merthyr
Who made the mine owner?
Say the black bells of rhondda
And who killed the miner?
Say the grim bells of blaina

I was just thinking about this song

The Speed of the Sound of Loneliness

You come home late and you come home early
You come on big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

Chorus:
So what in the world's come over you
And what in heaven's name have you done
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness
You're out there running just to be on the run

Well I got a heart that burns with a fever
And I got a worried and a jealous mind
How can a love that'll last forever
Get left so far behind

Repeat Chorus:

It's a mighty mean and a dreadful sorrow
It's crossed the evil line today
Well, how can you ask about tomorrow
We ain't got one word to say

Repeat Chorus:

Ending:
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run
You're out there running just to be on the run

John Prine

One of my favourites here.

SOMEBODY TO LOVE -- Queen

Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Each morning I get up, I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief,
Lord,
Somebody, somebody, oh somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Yeah

I work hard every day of my life
I work til I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord, somebody, ooh, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Ooh

Everyday
I try and I try and I try
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm going crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
I got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lord,
Ooh, somebody, somebody,
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm okay, I'm alright
I ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free,
Lord

Find me somebody to love [x18]
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Ripple by the Greatful Dead

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come thru the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps they’re better left unsung.
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

La dee da da da, la da da da da, da da da, da da, da da da da da
La da da da, la da da, da da, la da da da, la da, da da.

Fabulous song.

RADIO GAGA -- Queen (words and music by Roger Taylor)

Radio
I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds, invaded by Mars
You made them laugh, you made them cry
You made us feel, like we could fly
Radio

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for, the girls and boys
Who just don't know, or just don't care
And just complain, when you're not there
You had your time
You had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is radio gaga
Radio googoo
Radio gaga
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows
We watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you we depend
So stick around, 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual
You had your time
You had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is radio gaga
Radio googoo
Radio gaga
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio googoo
Radio gaga
All we hear is radio gaga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you
Loves you!

Jukebox Hero
music and song lyrics by Foreigner

Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Hear the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
Saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day

Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure

That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rockin' ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a JUKE BOX HERO got stars in his eyes
He's a JUKE BOX HERO
He took one guitar stars in his eyes
JUKE BOX HERO he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain'
And that one guitar made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep rockin' he just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin' that boy has got to stay on top

And be a JUKE BOX HERO got stars in his eyes
He's a JUKE BOX HERO stars in his eyes
Yeah JUKE BOX HERO got stars in his eyes

WITH THAT ONE GUITAR he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

... Chus you did not just put a foreigner song up here...

I'm not a huge fan of this band, but I do like Frank Black and this song.

Monkey Gone to Heaven
-The Pixies, Doolittle

There was a guy
An underwater guy who controlled the sea
Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
From New York and New Jersey

This monkey's gone to heaven

The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole
Now there's a hole in the sky
And the ground's not cold
And if the ground's not cold
Everything is gonna burn
We'll all take turns
I'll get mine, too

This monkey's gone to heaven

If man is 5
Then the devil is 6
And if the devil is six
Then god is 7

This monkey's gone to heaven

Scarlet Begonias the Greatful Dead

As I was walkin’ ’round grosvenor square
Not a chill to the winter but a nip to the air,
From the other direction, she was calling my eye,
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try, might as well try.

She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes.
And I knew without askin’ she was into the blues.
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls,
I knew right away she was not like other girls, other girls.

In the thick of the evening when the dealing got rough,
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff.
As I picked up my matches and was closing the door,
I had one of those flashes I’d been there before, been there before.

Well, I ain’t always right but I’ve never been wrong.
Seldom turns out the way it does in a song.
Once in a while you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Well there ain’t nothing wrong with the way she moves,
Scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues.
And there’s nothing wrong with the look that’s in her eyes,

Wind in the willow’s playin’ tea for two;
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue,
Strangers stoppin’ strangers just to shake their hand,
Everybody’s playing in the heart of gold band, heart of gold band

But I can prove you wrong 'cause I'm right first time

Yeah,
Yeah
Alright, let's go, let's go
Alright,

Princes of the universe
Fighting and free,

Queen - Seven Seas Of Rhye

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

Fear me you lord and lady preachers
I descend upon your earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine
The seven seas of Rhye

Can you hear me you peers and privy councillors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you'll be mine
At the seven seas of Rhye

Sister I live and lie for you
Mister do and I'll die
You are mine I possess you
Belong to you forever

Storm the master marathon I'll fly through
By flash and thunder fire I'll survive
I'll survive I'll survive
Then I'll defy the laws of nature
And come out alive

Begone with you you shod and shady senators
Give out the good leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours
And with a smile
I'll take you to the seven seas of Rhye

Bertha: Ze Greatful Dead

I had a hard run, runnin' from your window.
I was all night running, running, lord I wonder if you care,
I had a run in, run around, and run down.
Run around the corner, corner, lord run smack in to a tree.

I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea.
Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines.
I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin',
I turned around to see,
Heard a voice al callin', lord you was comin' after me.

I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into novato.
It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin',
Lord but not a drop on me.
Test me, test me,
Test me, test me, test me,
Why don't you arrest me'
Throw me in to the jailhouse,
Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down.

I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

I had to move, really had to move,
That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees,
Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

I hope this hasnt been posted before. Magrus and Chu reminded me of it

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
And the telephone’s out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And the menus are all freezing, and the light man’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
As the bouncer is a sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast
And the owner is a mental midget with the i.q. of a fence post
’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
’cause 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

*mutters* I've known I had heard of Tom Waits before and kept seeing you all posting lyrics by him on here. Now, now I remember where. Lina used to play this song for me when I was drunk after she moved back from London.
