"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.

*sways with drunken-ness*

"HIC"

I know i postes yesterday. However.. Was listening to Toni Braxton Unbreak my heart.. And it kinda moved me. Kinda made me think how i would be if i lost Ian.

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The night are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Take back that sad word good-bye
Bring back the joy to my life
Don't leave me here with these tears
Come and kiss this pain away
I can't forget the day you left
Time is so unkind
And life is so cruel without you here beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart
My heart

Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Bring back the nights when I held you beside me

Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry this tears
I cried so many, many nights
Un-break my

Un-break my heart oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darlin'
Without you I just can't go on
Can't go on....

Right my two fave Motorhead lyrics. I know most of them wont mean anything to you guys. But still.

WK. My music. My taste.




10. Shake The World

Save me from this cold embrace
Hide me from the man in black
Take me from this dreadful place
Save my life, I break your back

Shake the world, I swear I know the world
And I know what it needs
I will make all hearts to break
I make all souls to bleed
Save me from the dogs of war
Roll away the door of stone
Raise me from the killing floor
Save myself I break your bones

Will you break, will you deserve the love you take
Can you survive the fall
Are you the one to save us
Or will you just enslave us
And will you face the Law?
Wake me from this dream of blood
Now before the murder starts
I would not help you if I could
Save my head I break your heart

Shake the world, I swear I hate the world
I smell its rotten breath
Blood and souls and mind control
The world desires our death
Shake the world, I swear I love the world
The world know what I crave
More confusion, abuse and disillusion
The world defiles the brave


11. Listen To Your Heart

Here we are, about to blow a fuse
Hold it down, 'cause if you move you lose
Give me time, I need to make mistakes
Give me love, before my poor heart breaks

Listen to your heart, Listen all your life
Listen to your hear, and then you'll be alright
Don't you see, the truth is always close
Eyes are wide, just like you seen a ghost
Give me hope, 'cause I was never sure
Give me faith, 'cause I was never yours

Listen to your heart, Listen all your life
Look into my eyes, before you say good-bye
Raise your hand, if you deserve the blame
If you can, them you won't die ashamed
Give me strength, so I can make a stand
Give me light, so I can show my hand
Look me in the eyes
Before we say good-bye
Tell me the truth or die
and then you'll be alright

Dio- "Rainbow In The Dark" (Ronnie James Dio)

When there’s lightning, you know it always brings me down
Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found
I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold, I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

There’s no sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
A rainbow in the dark

Do your demons, do they ever let you go
When you’ve tried, do they hide, deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You’re just a picture, just an image caught in time
We’re a lie, you and I
We’re words without a rhyme

There’s no sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark

When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down
Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found
Feel the magic, feel it floating in the air
But it’s fear, and you’ll hear
It calling you beware

I was all ready to agree with you and then i read them and although they dont flow particularly well they are quite pretty and evocative, just dont think much of the way it's performed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Your taste in music really sucks.

Muffin Man by Frank Zappa

The muffin man is seated at the table in the laboratory of the utility muffin research kitchen... reaching for an oversized chrome spoon he gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants and brushing his scapular aside, he procceds to dump these inside of his shirt...

He turns to us and speaks:

Some people like cupcakes better. I for one care less for them.

Arrogantly twisting the sterile canvas snoot of a fully charged icing anointment utensil he poots forths a quarter-ounce green rosett.. ha ha ha.. let’s try that again... he poots forth a quarter-ounce green rosette near the summit of a dense but radiant muffin of his own design.

Later he says:

Some people... some people like cupcakes exclusively, while myself, I say there is naught nor ought there be nothing so exalted on the face of god’s grey Earth as that prince of foods... the muffin!

Girl you thought he was a man
But he was a muffin
He hung around till you found
That he didn’t know nuthin’

Girl you thought he was a man
But he only was a-puffin’
No cries is heard in the night
As a result of him stuffin’

"She Will Be Loved"
By Maroon 5


Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

[in the background]
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye
Please don't try so hard to say goodbye

Yeah
[softly]
I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Try so hard to say goodbye

The Grave by Don Mclean

The grave that they dug him had flowers
Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colors,
And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone.
He's gone.

When the wars of our nation did beckon,
A man barely twenty did answer the calling.
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation,
He's gone,
But Eternity knows him, and it knows what we've done.

And the rain fell like pearls on the leaves of the flowers
Leaving brown, muddy clay where the earth had been dry.
And deep in the trench he waited for hours,
As he held to his rifle and prayed not to die.

But the silence of night was shattered by fire
As guns and grenades blasted sharp through the air.
And one after another his comrades were slaughtered.
In morgue of Marines, alone standing there.

He crouched ever lower, ever lower with fear.
"They can't let me die! The can't let me die here!
I'll cover myself with the mud and the earth.
I'll cover myself! I know I'm not brave!
The earth! the earth! the earth is my grave."

When the wars of our nation did beckon,
A man barely twenty did answer the calling.
Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation,
He's gone.

Milk It by Nirvana, whether or not the lyrics mean anything, I think they're great.

Can't be arsed writing them down, though.

They like them. Hence, 'Yer favourite lyrics' is relevant.
