"Yer favourite lyrics"

Yes, I've had a skin full and am feeling mightily sentimental and empathic, but let's have your favourite songs, or just parts of the lyrics that speak to you .....

Okey dokey.

Raghav - Another Bad Goodbye

Edited


Too many miles away
But you're never here to stay
And I just can't seem to get you out of my mind
I could lie here awake
24 hours a day
But somehow I know I won't find enough time
Oh no

Now I see how true love can be
And it makes me feel so happy I could cry
But knowing me there's a tendency
To hold you back to save me from your eyes
And another bad goodbye

There's a land way overseas
A place where you have got to be
And I'll take your word that you'll come back alright
I see you've all packed up to leave
So you won't be home for weeks
I can't put myself through all this one more time
Oh no

Now I see how true love can be
And it makes me feel so happy I could cry
But knowing me there's a tendency
To hold you back to save me from your eyes
And another bad goodbye

You always said we're meant to be
And now I know I feel the same
So this time as you up to leave
Tell me what I gotta do to make you stay

Kishore Kumar - Chingari Koi Bharke

I'll post them sometime round when I get to translate them. But they're actually wonderful!

Greenday - Holiday

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
The shame
The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!)
A gag, A plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday

"The representative from California has the floor"

Zieg Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me
Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

At My Most Beautiful by REM

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice
You always listen carefully
To awkwards rhymes
You always say your name
Like i woulden't know it's you
At your most beautiful

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly
With every one whisper i love you
I let you sleep
I know your closed eye watching me
Listening
I thought i saw a smile

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset....how can u beat it?!

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, makes me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I don’t need no friends
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset’s fine

Terry meets julie, waterloo station
Every friday night
But I am so lazy, don’t want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don’t feel afraid
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset’s fine

Millions of people swarming like flies ’round waterloo underground
But terry and julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And the don’t need no friends
As long as they gaze on waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset’s fine

"Eyes of a Child" written by Trey Parker, performed by Michael McDonald

The eyes of a child, so innocent and pure
A child’s heart is full of song
Take their tiny hand and leap into the light
As adults we see pain in the world
And it sometimes don’t seem right

But through the eyes of a child
The world seems magical
There’s a sparkle in their eyes
They’ve yet to realize
The darkness in their soul
The beauty of their smile
Adventurous and wild
Life is kind of gay but it doesn’t seem that way
Through the eyes of a child

So don’t give up, even when the road seems long
Just find that child inside of you
(Yeah, you gotta find you)
Spread your wings and fly to the brightest star
If you want I can even get my friend Steve to detail your car
For like 20 bucks

Through the eyes of a child
The world seems magical
There’s a sparkle in their eyes
They’ve yet to realize
The darkness in their soul
The beauty of their smile
Adventurous and wild
Sure life is kind of gay but it doesn’t seem that way
Through the eyes of a child

Got an eye on my hand
I’ve got an eye on my hand
I’ve got an eye on my hand
But still I can’t find you
Eye on my hand
Where have you gone girl?
Eye on my hand
I pull it up behind you
Eye on my hand
Don’t turn around now
Because I’m right there
I’m coming up behind you

Through the eyes of a child
The world seems magical
There’s a sparkle in their eyes
They’ve yet to realize
The b**tards they really are
The beauty of their smile
Adventurous and wild
Sure life is kind of gay but it doesn’t seem that way
Through the eyes of a child

Sure life is kind of gay but it doesn’t seem that way
Through the eyes of a child

Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.

And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?

Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

"Cicatriz ESP"

Do you recall it's name
As it suggested beck and call
This face and heel
Will drag your halo through the mud
Ash of Pompeii
Erupting in a statue's dust
Shrouded in veils
Because these handcuffs hurt too much
Still scalping these ticketless applause
And when they drag the lake there is nothing left at all
sutured contusion
beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague
said I've lost my way
even if this cul de sac would pay
to reach inside a vault whatever be the cost
sterling clear
blackend ice
and when they drag the lake there's nothing left at all

I've defected

sutuerd contusion
beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague
said I've lost my way
even if this cul de sac did pay
to reach inside a vault whatever be the cost
sterling clear
blackend ice
when they drag the lake theres nothing left at all

I've defected

beyond the anthills of the dawning of this plague
said I've lost my way
even if this cul de sac did pay
beyond the anthills of said I've lost my way
even if you reach inside a vault whatever be the cost
sterling clear
blackend ice
when they drag the lake there's nothing left at all

this is my last insicion
the stitches have defected
drag me a vessel
coveting all you know see and hear
this is my last incision
the stitches have fallen off
Sterling clear blackened ice
And when they drag they lake theres nothing left at all

I've defected

Beautiful-Christina Aguilera

Every day is so wonderful, then suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure, from all the pain
I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful, no matter what they say
Words can bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone,
Left the puzzle undone, is that the way it is?

You are beautiful, no matter what they say
Words can bring you down; no, no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can bring you down; oh, no
So don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do,
No matter what we say,
We're the song inside the tune, full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go (and everywhere we go)
the sun will always shine
(the sun will always, always, shine)
And tomorrow we might awake on the other side

'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes words won't bring us down; no, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can bring us down; oh, no
So don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

Greenday - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

(Lyrics so much more poignant cuz Billie Joe wrote this when he thought he was dying).

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road,
Time grabs you by the wrists directs you where to go,
So make the best of this test and don't ask why,
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time,

It's something unpredictable but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life,

So take the photographs and still frames in your mind,
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good times,
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial,
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while,

It's something unpredictable but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life,
It's something unpredictable but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life,
It's something unpredictable but in the end is right,
I hope you had the time of your life,
