This Song's For You uh huh

Blues Power
by Eric Clapton and Leon Russell

Bet you didn't think I knew how to rock 'n' roll.
Oh, I got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul.
There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.

I knew all the time but now I'm gonna let you know:
I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow.
Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour,
'Cause now I'm living on blues power.

First Verse

Talking to you, now.
The boogie's gonna pull me through.
Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on.
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on.

[Exile]

"It's more the way she really means it . . ."

QUESTION
by the Moody Blues.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
Because the truth is hard to swallow
That's what the war of love is for

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be

And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you.

I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains,
And the crashing of the sea,
There lies a land I once lived in,
And she's waiting there for me,
But in the grey of the morning,
My mind becomes confused,
Between the dead and the sleeping,
And the road that I must choose.

I'm looking for someone to change my life,
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me,
To lose the love I knew,
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew,
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our soul.

It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
'Cos when we stop and look around us,
There is nothing that we need,
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

For a certain Saucy Swan.

Never My Love
- Association


You ask me if there'll come a time
When I grow tired of you
Never my love
Never my love.

You wonder if this heart of mine
Will lose its desire for you
Never my love
Never my love.

What makes you think love will end
When you know that my whole life depends on you.

You say you fear I'll change my mind
I won't require you
Never my love
Never my love.

How can you think love will end
When I've asked you to spend your whole life with me
Never my love
Never my love.

Nobody Does it Better
- Carly Simon

Nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, you're the best.

I wasn't looking
But somehow you found me
I tried to hide from your love light
But like heaven above me
The spy who loved me
Is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.

And nobody does it better
Though sometimes I wish someone could
Nobody does it quite the way you do
Why'd you have to be so good?

The way that you hold me
Whenever you hold me
There's some kind of magic inside you
That keeps me from running
But just keep it coming
How'd you learn to do the things you do?

And nobody does it better
Makes me feel sad for the rest
Nobody does it half as good as you
Baby, baby, darling you're the best.

[Clear Skies]

I know, I know...

Isobel by Dido

I thought it was funny when you
Missed the train
When I rang you at home you said you'd left
Yesterday
I thought it was strange when your
Car was found
By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well
And what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last when it's
Last day leaving
And I'm helping it pass by loving
You more

And who he would become, all the things he'd have done
Would he have loved you and not let you down
And would he be stronger than his father
Don't punish yourself
Leave it well alone

Dear Isobel, I hope you're well
And what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well
I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming
And long will it last when it's
Last day leaving
And I'm helping it pass by loving
You more


The Ship by Runrig

I awoke in the dusts of an autumn morning
Faces oil-lit and kneeling round the family chairs
I never knew that a heart could take such filling
Spaces everywhere, everywhere

And the ship comes round and she's waiting at the harbour
Be prepared to get on board
Be prepared
I never knew that the light of ages breaks the way before us
Sail away
Sail away

All the front doors opened and the men came walking
Suits and shoes, heads of silver and grey
It's one short road from a darkened cradle
To the endless light of day
She walked like a child down the aisle of her childhood
The shops, the schoolyard, the church on the hill
Where she trembled on the day she was
Touched and broken
Oh Marie was born again

All ears to the trawlerband in the evenings
Forty crans and the spirits run wild
The storms, the drownings, the tables, the drinking
The sea had claimed their lives
There's peat smoke rising from the village chimneys
You take your chances with the red-haired girl
All the boats take their rest in the heart of the harbour
That night in a changing world

And the ship comes round and she's waiting at the harbour
Be prepared to get on board
Be prepared
I never knew that the light of ages breaks the way before us
Sail away
Sail away


Christmas Song - myself

Bright lights on a hillside
Shining on the winter snow
Children on their sledges
Screaming as they swoop below
Christmas trees a-twinkle
In the windows of their homes
Within there are none stirring
And none abroad do roam

Old man on a hillside
Looking down upon it all
Have they all forgotten
That baby in a stall?
"O Little Town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie"
Have they all forgotten
The Lord of Sea & Sky?
Angels on a hillside
They were there, they saw it all
They have not forgotten
That baby in a stall
"Father, now forgive them,"
He'll tell them in the end,
Angels, tell the people,
The message that He sends.

Bleed by Cold

i'm feeling crossed, i take it inside
burn up the pain, my thoughts are strange,
just like the things i used to love,
just like the tree that fell, i heard it,
if art is still inside i feel it,

i wanna bleed show the world all that I have inside,
(i wanna show you all the pain...)
i wanna scream let the blood flow that keeps me alive,
(i wanna make you feel the same...)

take all these strings they call my veins
wrap them around every ****ing thing,
presence of people not for me,
well i must remain in tune forever,
my love is music i will marry melody,

i wanna bleed show the world all that I have inside,
(i wanna show you all the pain...)
i wanna scream let the blood flow that keeps me alive,
(i wanna make you feel the same...)
i said,
i wanna bleed, i wanna feel,
(i wanna show you how i feel...)
i wanna sing, i wanna bleed,
(i wanna make you see the pain...)

won't you let me take you for a ride,
you can stop the world, try to change my mind,
won't you let me show you how it feels,
you can stop the world but you
won't change me,
i need music to set me free,
to let me bleed

For all the strange HALO skydivers in military. Ahem, Chris?

If you're not familiar, it stands for High Altitude Low Opening.
These crazy people jump from 40,000 feet with a bottle of oxygen, (at 40k you need oxygen ) and pull the chute at 1000 feet.
Harder to hit a moving target, as is said.



FREE FALLIN'
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day living in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy cos I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

(Backing Vocals)
Free fallin', now I'm a, free fallin', now I'm a
Free fallin', now I'm a, free fallin', now I'm a

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
Gonna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

(with backing vocals)
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

(with backing vocals)
And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

Halloween (or everyday for some of us)

Black NO. 1 by Type O Negative

She's in love with herself
She likes the dark
On her milk white neck
The Devil's mark
It's all Hallows Eve
The moon is full
Will she trick or treat
I bet she will

She's got date at midnight
With Nosferatu
Oh baby, Lilly Munster
Ain't got nothing on you
Well when I called her evil
She just laughed
And cast that spell on me
Boo Bltch Craft

Yeah you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
You can't go out 'cause your roots are showing
Dye em black
Black no. 1

Little wolf skin boots
And clove cigarettes
An erotic funeral
For witch she's dressed
Her perfume smells like
Burning leaves
Everyday is Halloween

Loving you was like loving the dead

[boann]

dedicated to the full moon tonight
and the one i love


HARVEST MOON
neil young

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

[devilmunchkin]

awwwwwww!!! you two are so cute!

Need To Be Next to You by Leigh Nash

I've run from these feelings for so long
telling my heart I didn't need you
pretending I was better off alone
but I know that it's just a lie
so afraid to take a chance again
so afraid of what I'd feel inside
but I need to be next to you (need to be next to you)
oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you (share every breath with you)
oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you smiling each morning
look into your eyes each night
for the rest of my life
here with you, near with you
oh I
I need to be next to you
need to be – next to you
right here with you is right where I belong
I'll lose my mind if I can't see you
without you there is nothing in this life
that would make life worth living for
I can't bear the thought of you not here
I can't fight what I feel anymore
'cause I need to be next to you (need to be next to you)
oh I, oh I
I need to share every breath with you (share every breath with you)
oh I, oh I
I need to know I can see you smiling each morning
look into your eyes each night
for the rest of my life
here with you, near with you
oh I
I need to be next to you
I need to have your heart next to mine
for all the time
hold you for all my life
I need to be next to you
I need to be next to you (to be next to you)
oh I, oh I
need to be, need to be next to you
share every breath with you
oh, oh I
I need to feel you in my arms, babe (oh...)
in my arms, babe (oh I...)
I need to be next to you
oh I, oh I
(oh I...)

Huh ?

To "Officer and A Gentleman" Fans.
Doesn't it remind you of? I posted before, but didn't point out parallel.

DOWNTOWN TRAIN
Rod Stewart
(Tom Waits)

Outside another yellow moon
has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
On a downtown train

I know your window and I know its late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
and watch them as they fall, oh baby
They all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same

Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

Kryptonite

THREE DOORS DOWN

I took a walk around the world
To ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float
To the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be
Something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times
I never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head,
If not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well,
Will you be there holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite Yeah!!
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side
With my superhuman might Kryptonite

The End -- The Doors

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes
Again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway, baby
Weird seems inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake
Ride the snake, to the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long seven miles
Ride the snake
He is old and his skin is cold

The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where you taking us

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went to the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door,and he looked inside
"Father?" - "Yes, son?" - "I want to kill you,
Mother, I want to..."

Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
(Blue bus still now...
Come on, girl)

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of night we tried to die
This is the end

Always and Forever
- Heatwave


Always and forever
Each moment with you, is just like a dream to me
That somehow came true
And I know tomorrow will still be the same
Cos' we've got a life of love, that won't ever change

And ev'ry day, love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And feel sad tomorrow together

I'll always love you, forever, forever
There'll always be sunshine when I look at you
Something I can't explain, just the things that you do
And if you get lonely, phone me
And take a second to give to me the magic you make

And ev'ry day love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And feel sad tomorrow together
I'll always love you, forever, forever

Make Love Stay
- Dan Fogelberg


Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?

Now that we know
The fire can burn bright or nearly smolder
How do we keep it from dying away?

Lucid as dreams
Barley remembered in the morning
Love like a phantom lights
But held in the heart
It builds like the empty smile adorning
A statue with sightless eyes
Moments fleet is sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed.

But mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased, not easily exhumed

Now that we love
Now that the lonely nights are over
How do we make love stay?

Moments fleet are so sweet within the rapture
When precious flesh is greedily consumed
Mystery's a thing not easily captured
And once deceased, not easily exhumed.

Now that we love
Look at the moonless night & tell me
How do we make love stay?
