Song For You - Lyrics Thread

[devilmunchkin]

Won't Back DOwn by Fuel

I know what darkness means
(And the void you learned from me)
The isolation stings
(so it thick it wants to bleed)
The echoes in my brain
(all the things you said to me)
You took my everything
(now I'm coming for you)

Chorus:
I won't back down
I will not bow
(I've come to bring you hell)
I can't forget
Things you did
(I've come to bring you hell)

The shadows that you see
(In places that you sleep)
Are memories of me
(Better pray your soul to keep)
The truth behind your eyes
(You know the thing you never see)
Your darkest little lies
(I'm coming for you)

(

For all the scars that never heal
All the wounds that will not seal
I will not forget the day
These memories never fall, yeah


I've come to bring you hell...

Triple Shot Thursday; Christmas!

I Believe In Father Christmas
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the VIRGIN BIRTH
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
AND EYES full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve

HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)
JOHN LENNON

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

Isn't It Time
Babys

Falling in love was the
last thing I had on my mind
Holding you is a warmth
that I thought I could never find
(Sitting here all alone)
Just trying to decide
(Whether to go all alone)
Or stay by your side
(Then I stop myself because)
I know I could cry
I just can't find the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(Isn't time it took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
Isn't it time
(Isn't time you took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
I've seen visions of someone like you in my life
A love that's strong reaching out
Holding me through the darkest night
(Sitting here all alone)
Just trying to decide
(Whether to go all alone)
Or stay by your side
(then I stop myself because)
I don't want to cry
I just can't find the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(Isn't it time it took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you took time to wait)
(Falling in love could be your mistake)
I feel a warmth in my heart
And my soul that I never knew
This love affair gives me strength
That I need just to get me through
(Sitting here all alone)
Just wondering why
(Then I stop myself because)
I know I could cry
(Then I think of you)
And everything seems alright
I've finally found the answers
To the questions that keep going through my mind
Hey babe
Isn't it time
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Don't have to wait)
I know it's time
Ooh yeah
I know it's time
It must be time
(Don't have to wait)
(Losing this love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Don't have to wait)
It oughta be time
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
It must be time
(Don't have to wait)
(Losing this love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
(Losin' this love could be your mistake)
(Isn't time you don't have to wait)
It oughta be time

Time
The Alan Parsons Project

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river
To the sea

Goodbye my love,
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love,
The tide waits for me
Who knows when we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

Goodbye my friends,
Maybe forever
Goodbye my friends,
The stars wait for me
Who knows where we shall meet again
If ever
But time
Keeps flowing like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea

Till it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore

[self biased]

sober, tool.

There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler,
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called must we,
just because the son has come.
Jesus, won't you ****ing whistle,
something but the past and done?

Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start things over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you,
just enough to bring you down.
Mother Mary won't you whisper,
something but what's past and done.

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.

I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me.
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.


You Lied, tool

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Couldn't you have said what you meant? Oh...

Time heals, time congeals around us
Endless hours of wasted moments
Understanding, not demanding
Your eyes tell what you feel inside

Setting sun can't shine, now you're gone
Inside sleeping, my heart beating
You know that you tried to hide it
Shouldn't you have said what you meant?

YOU LIED!


A Stranger, a perfect circle.

Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it's alright
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity while I formulate
Denials of your affect on me

You're a stranger
So what do I care
You vanish today
Not the first time I hear
All the lies

What am I to do with all this silence
Shy away, shy away phantom
Run away terrified child
Won't you move away you f*king tornado
I'm better off without you
Tearing my will down

[Sprayber]

I'm No Stranger To The Rain
Keith Whitley

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I've fought with the devil
Got down on his level
But I never gave in, so he gave up on me

I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather
And I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers
Crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain
I'm no stranger to the rain

But when I get that foggy feeling
When I'm feeling down
If I don't keep my head up, I may drown
But it's hard to keep believing
I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down

I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow
And I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
And I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder
Friend, is it any wonder lightning strikes me
But I'll put this cloud behind me
That's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane
I'm no stranger to the rain

Oh, no, I'm no stranger to the rain

I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry
Hank Williams

Hear the lonesome whiperwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I’m so lonesome I could cry

I’ve never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide it’s face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he’s lost the will to live
I’m so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry
--------------------------------------
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
Hank Williams

In the twilight glow i see her
Blue eyes crying in the
rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet
again

Love is like a dying ember
And only memories remain

And through the ages i'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday
when we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In the
land that knows no parting
For blue eyes crying in the rain.

[Sprayber]

What I Hear From Above

Here I Am
Patty Loveless

Don't do it darlin'
Don't you dare look in there
You said you didn't want to see me
But you've been lookin' for me everywhere
And you know that you're gonna find me
If you keep on drinkin' fast
'Cause honey I'm right there waitin' on you
At the bottom of your glass

And here I am
Here I am
In the bourbon and the water
That burn you just like a brand
Here I am

It ain't workin' darlin'
Hard as you may try
You keep hearin' the words you told me
In everyone's goodbye
And you know that you're just one step
From another one being gone
I know I've seen 'em all unravel
I've been watchin' it all along

And here I am
Here I am
In every lie you're hearin'
That burn you just like a brand
Here I am

And honey, I got over you passin' me over
A long time ago
And my pride was stronger when I was younger
Now I'd rather have you to know

That here I am
Here I am
I still carry a flame for you
Burnin' me like a brand
Here I am
--------------------------------
I'll Go On Lovin' You
Alan Jackson

When I look into your soft blue eyes
When I see your delicate body
Revealed to me as you slip off your dress
I'm reminded what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh

Then I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you

Me in the wind or rain
Or the moon up in the sky
The spin of the earth or the change in the tide
I don't know what brought us together
What strange forces of nature
Conspire to construct the present
From the past

Then I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you

When I look into your soft blue eyes
When I see your delicate body
Revealed to me as you slip off your dress
I'm reminded what I feel for you
Will remain strong and true
Long after the pleasures of the flesh

Then I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you
I'll go on loving you

Her Blues Man

Blues Man
Hank Williams Jr.

I'm just a singer a natural born guitar ringer
kind of a clinger to sad old songs.

I'm not a walk behind'er,
I'm a new note finder
but my name's a reminder
of a bluesman thats already gone.

So I started drinking,
took things that messed up my thinking
I was sure sinking when you came along.

I was alone in the hot lights,
not too much left in sight
but she changed all that one night
when she sang me this song.

Hey baby I love you.
Hey baby I need you.
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me
your some kind of macho man.

You've wasted so much of your life
running through the dark nights
let me shine some love light
down on this bluesman

I got so sick from speeding
all the stuff they said I was needed
if I was to keep pleasing all of my fans.

I got cuffed on dirt roads.
I got sued over no shows
but she came and took all that ole load
down off this bluesman.

Hey baby I love you too.
Hey baby I need you.
Hey baby I do get tired
of this traveling band.

I'm thirty years old now
nights would be cold now
if you hadn't stuck it out
in this bluesman.

I'm thirty years old now,
nights sure would be cold now
if you hadn't hung around
for this bluesman.

Attitude

Sat on the metro with love on her mind
Intimate details of every kind
Opening doorways to secret rooms
Her emptiness calling to you

She give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something new
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too

Give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something rude
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too

A dangerous daughter in a leopard print skirt
A polaroid camera recording the dirt
Intimate details of every scene
Opening doorways for me

She give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something new
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too

Give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something rude
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too

She give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of something new
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too

Give a little bit of attitude
Give a little bit of subterfuge
Give a little bit of attitude
Get a little bit tacky too

Mother's Little Helper
Rolling Stones


What a drag it is getting old.

"Kids are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill
There's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day.

"Things are different today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag
So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day.

Doctor, please, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old.

"Men just aren't the same today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
They just don't appreciate that you get tired
They're so hard to satisfy. You can tranquilise your mind
So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper
And four help you through the night, help to minimise your plight.

Doctor,plese, some more of these
Outside the door, she took four more
What a drag it is getting old.

Life's just much too hard today,"
I hear ev'ry mother say
The pursuit of happiness just seems a bore
And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose
No more running to the shelter of a mother's little helper
They just helped you on your way through your busy dying day.

Wildhearts

I wanna go where the people go

Out of the misery
To wash my soul
Out of the cram with new wave can
And I'm the king of rock and roll
Checkin' my mirror
And I don't mind
Same old cracks in the face and class are
Just a little more defined

So I'm making the distance
I'm born in the business

And me?
In time
Let it shine
Let it shine

Well,
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
Take me there
Anywhere
Just so long as there some atmosphere
We'll be round

C'mon
We all went down

Show me a hero
Of head and heart
Rid of the stars and the blah, blah, blahs
Would be a worthy way to start

Rid of the cliches
That go round and round
I wanna be where the ****s like me
Are buried six feet underground

So if pride is a memory
Is nobody angry?

And me?
In time
Let it shine
Let it shine

Well,
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
Take me there
Anywhere
Just so long as there an atmosphere
We'll be round

C'mon down
We all went down

Well,
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
I wanna go where the people go, yeah
Take me there
Anywhere
Just so long as there an atmosphere
We'll be round

C'mon down
We all went down

We went down
We went down
We went down
We all went down
We went down
We all went down

Martina McBride
In My Daughters Eyes


In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero.
I am strong an' wise,
And I know no fear.
But the truth is plain to see:
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I wanna be, in my daughter's eyes.

In my daughter's eyes, everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace.
This miracle God gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak.
I find reason to believe, in my daughter's eyes.

An' when she wraps her hand around my finger,
Oh, it puts a smile in my heart.
Everything becomes a little clearer.
I realise what life is all about.
It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough;
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up.
I've seen the light: it's in my daughter's eyes.

In my daughter's eyes, I can see the future.
A reflection of who I am,
An' what will be.
An' though she'll grow an', some day, leave:
Maybe raise a family,
When I'm gone, I hope you'll see,
How happy she made me,
For I'll be there, in my daughter's eyes.
