"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.

"HIC"

Aerosmith
Fly Away From Here
(Frederiksen, Chapman)

Gotta find a way
Yeah, I can't wait another day
Ain't nothin' gonna change
If we stay 'round here
Gotta do what it takes
Cause all in our hands
We all make mistakes, yeah
But it's never to late to start again
Take another breath
And say another prayer

And fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly

If this life
Gets any harder now
It ain't, no, nevermind
You got me by your side
And anytime you want
Yeah, we can catch a train and find a better place
Yeah, cause we won't let nothin' or no one keep gettin' us down
Maybe you and I
Can pack our bags and hit the sky

And fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly

Do you see a bluer sky now
You can have a better life now
Open your eyes
Cause no one here can ever stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way

Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye

And fly away from here
Anywhere
Honey I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hope and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah anywhere
Honey I don't, I don't, I don't care

Yeah
We'll just fly

Juas Priest- Breaking the Law (K.K. Downing/Rob Halford/Glenn Tipton)

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town
feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
so I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

So much for the golden future, I can't even start
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

You don't know what it's like

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

MAGGIE MAY
(Rod Stewart / Martin Quittenton)

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days

SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME
(T. Anderson)

Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
but if you've ever waited for the sun
you know what it's like to wish daytime would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time

Hard times are only the other side of good times
but if you ever wished hard times were gone
you know what it's like to wish good times would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time

Help me, seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time

And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And don't it seems like a long time
seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time

You know it makes me sad
seems like a long time, seems like a long time
seems like a long, long time

War time is only the other side of peace time
but if you've ever seen how wars are won
you know what it's like to wish peace time would come
And don't it seem like a long time
seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time

EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY
(Rod Stewart / Ron Wood)

Spent some time feelin' inferior
standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
but I came out looking just the same

Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
to a woman that'll spend your bread"
So I got out

Paris was a place you could hide away
if you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
when all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on

Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
at a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no no

I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
by the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her

I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be

The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
to help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

What if god is just one of us, trying to make his way home.........
yeah! yeah! GOD! is cool!

EIFFEL 65 - BLUE

Yo listen up
Here's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him
Inside and outside
Blue his house with the blue little window and a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around
Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...

I'm blue da ba dee...

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I ware
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my corvette it's in and outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue da ba dee...

Inside and outside
Blue his house with the blue little window and a blue corvette
And everything is blue for him and himself and everybody around
Cause he ain't got nobody to listen...

Diamond Head- 'Sweet and Innocent' (Sean Harris/Brian Tatler)

You live it good girl
And baby you live it high
You reach it easily, makes me wanna cry
You look so fine girl
I suppose you always do
So fine and so sweet
It's good to look at you

Sweet and innocent
And settled down
Sweet and innocent
I'll pass around, yeah

You and the fashion
Baby you're as one
It's not long before - it's much more than fun
Yes it's taking chances, but they don't want to know
And since your fine baby left you
Don't know which way to go

Sweet and innocent
And settled down
Sweet and innocent
I'll pass around, yeah

You live it good girl
And baby you live it high
You reach it easily, makes me wanna cry
You take it good girl
I don't know who will bring you down
Who will bring you down

Sweet and innocent
And settled down
Sweet and innocent
I'll pass around, yeah

Agreed.

"Thunder Underground"

O. Osbourne/G. Butler/Z. Wylde

Your thoughts are compromising
Self - centered, patronized
Your image supersedes your soul

You find me mystifying
Subhuman, so anoying
You can't have me under control

You think you live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think, you're so clever

When you hear thunder underground, all right now

Your morbid fear of losing
Destroys the lives you're using
You only have one point of view

The stigma of delusion
Confirms your self illusion
And after all this could be you

When you hear thunder underground, here we go now

Could it be that I have found my mind or have I gone insane?
Roller coaster of the madness and there's only me to blame
The ever faithful hand of doom will take the pain away
I'll never know the answer to it all 'til my dying day

Your bullsh't culture licking
Can't stop the deathwatch ticking
You're only mortal after all

Your appetite for power
Subverts your every hour
But every time the mighty fall
