uh huh. More Songs In The Key Of Life.

[Clear Skies]

Tanita Tikaram - Twist in my Sobriety

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear
I hear you talk girl
Now your conscience is clear

In the morning I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say
I'll never hear you
And never do what you say

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

We just poked a little pie
For the fun people had at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

Cup of tea, take time to think, yea
Time to risk a life, a life, a life
Sweet and handsome
Soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people, nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety
More than twist in my sobriety

[Clear Skies]

And of course the obligatory Joni Mitchell song to inaugurate the new thread...

OK, so sue me

Joni Mitchell - This Flight Tonight

Look out the left, the captain said
The lights down there that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one
That you can wish upon
Not the northern one
That guides in the sailors

Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you baby
I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven
Down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Oh blackness blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this poor heart of mine

Oh starbright starbright
You've got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't hove got on this flight tonight

I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you out
Can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing Goodbye baby, Baby Goodbye
Ooh ooh love is blind
Up go the flaps down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again baby

Starbright starbright
You got the lovin' that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight

O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Orff:

(latin, with English translation to follow)

O fortuna, velut tuna statu variabilis,
semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem,
egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem.

Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis,
status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis,
odumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum dorsum nudum fero tui sceleris.

Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria,
est affectus et defectus semper in angaria.
Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite;
quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes pangite!



O fortune, variable as the moon, you ever wax and wane;
this detestable life now maltreats us, then grants us our wildest desires;
it melts both poverty and power like ice.

Monstrous, meaningless Fate upon your turning wheel,
both sickness and seeming health you make ever changeable;
shadowy and veiled in darkness you plot against me
by trickery, so that my naked back is exposed to your lashes.

The luck of health and strength is against me now;
wether I gain or lose is always a tossup.
Therefore, now without delay come play upon the strings;
lament with me, all of you, for fortune strikes down the strong man!


A wonderful secular outlook of life

[Provost Harrison]

Hmmm, I don't know what that song is about paiktis, but it starts with something to do with London, Amsterdam and ?Verolino? Berlin I presume?

[SlowwHand]

Love Hurts
Nazareth

Love hurts, Love scars, Love wounds and mars
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, it holds a lot of rain
Love hurts, Ooo-oo Love hurts

I'm young, I know, But even so
I know a thing or two - I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame It burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, Ooo-oo Love hurts

Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess
They're not foolin' me
I know it isn't true I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, Ooo-oo Love hurts

Solo

I know it isn't true I know it isn't true
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
Love hurts, Ooo-oo Love hurts
Ooo-oo, Love hurts Ooo-oo

[SlowwHand]

Cry Baby
Janis Joplin


Cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Honey, welcome back home.

I know she told you,
Honey I know she told you that she loved you
Much more than I did,
But all I know is that she left you,
And you swear that you just don’t know why,
But you know, honey I’ll always,
I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh honey, welcome back home.

Don’t you know, honey,
Ain’t nobody ever gonna love you
The way I try to do ?
Who’ll take all your pain,
Honey, your heartache, too ?
And if you need me, you know
That I’ll always be around if you ever want me
Come on and cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby,
Oh daddy, like you always saying to do.

And when you walk around the world, babe,
You said you’d try to look for the end of the road,
You might find out later that the road’ll end in Detroit,
Honey, the road’ll even end in Kathmandu.
You can go all around the world
Trying to find something to do with your life, baby,
When you only gotta do one thing well,
You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world, babe.
You got a woman waiting for you there,
All you ever gotta do is be a good man one time to one woman
And that’ll be the end of the road, babe,
I know you got more tears to share, babe,
So come on, come on, come on, come on, come on,
And cry, cry baby, cry baby, cry baby.

And if you ever feel a little lonely, dear,
I want you to come on, come on to your mama now,
And if you ever want a little love of a woman
Come on and baby baby baby babe babe baby now
Cry baby yeah.

Ronnie Milsap was a big star before I was born, which makes you wonder how I ever heard this song.

Ronnie Milsap - Smokey Mountain Rain

I found my way from LA back to Knoxville
I found out those bright lights aint where I belong
From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her
I've had a change of dreams I'm comin' home
But tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain

I waved a diesel down outside of Cathey
He said that he was goin' as far a Catlenburgh
I climbed up in the cab all wet and cold and lonely
I wiped my eyes and told him about her
I've got to find her!
Can you make these big wheels burn?

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain

I can't blame her for lettin' go
My woman needs someone warm to hold
I feel the rain runnin' down my face
I'll find her no matter what it takes!

Smokey Mountain rain keeps on fallin'
I keep on callin' her name
Smokey Mountain rain I'll keep on searchin'
I can't go on hurtin' this way
She's somewhere in the Smokey Mountain rain

Yes PH very good

It is a song by Trypes =holes, called Taxidiara Psychi =travelling soul or travel - wishing soul, travel - oriented soul - I can't exactly translate the first word. They're a rock band, their lyrics are poetry dark and esoteric. Sometimes too heavy to digest, speaking about real feelings in a very raw and at the same time very full-complex way.

This song of theirs is very simple though.

And yes the first line is: London, Amsterdam or Berlin


after being to a small independent company they switched to virgin where I found this site. They have also played at the Marquee (sp?) club in London amongst other places. (after a request by the Greek students there).

Not one of my favorite bands though.

[Playa del Carmen]

They're Blind
Kelly Willis

The demands made upon you
Are hard to live up to
It's futile to try and deny

And the things you hold dearly
Are scoffed at and yearly
Judged once and then tossed aside

'Cause they're blind
Yeah, they hold you too close
To the light
And I see what they only might
If they'd learn, but they're letting you burn
'Cause they're blind

To the brown-eyed beholder
See the chip on your shoulder
The fools that don't want to believe
That you're so hard to talk to
And so easy to read through

'Cause they're blind
Yeah, they hold you too close
To the light
And I see what they only might
If they'd learn, but they're letting you burn
'Cause they're blind

They only like what they can see
And what they don't they just don't agree
If you'll run to me
Run, run

Only like a day with him
Just one day with him
Then you'll run back
Then you'll run back blind

An old man said to me
"Go and take it easy now"
You'll run to me
Run, run

Only like a day with him
Just one day with him
Then you'll run back
Then you'll run back blind

Yeah, they hold you too close
To the light
And I see what they only might
If they'd learn, but they're letting you burn
'Cause they're blind

Letting you burn
'Cause they're blind
'Cause they're blind

[Simon Darkshade]

Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein
Werewolves of London

If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Werewolves of London

He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Werewolves of London

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Werewolves of London
Draw blood

Creep - Radiohead

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so ****in' special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so ****in' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so ****in' special
I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

Dreadlock Holiday - 10cc

I was walkin' down the street
Concentratin' on truckin' right
I heard a dark voice beside of me
And I looked round in a state of fright
I saw four faces one mad
A brother from the gutter
They looked me up and down a bit
And turned to each other

I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
Don't you walk thru my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru my words
`Cause you ain't heard me out yet

Well he looked down at my silver chain
He said I'll give you one dollar
I said you've got to be jokin' man
It was a present from me Mother
He said I like it I want it
I'll take it off your hands
And you'll be sorry you crossed me
You'd better understand that you're alone
A long way from home

And I say
I don't like reggae no no
I love it
I don't like reggae oh no
I love it
Don't you cramp me style
Don't you queer on me pitch
Don't you walk thru my words
`Cause you ain't heard me out yet

I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a Dreadlock Holiday

And I say
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
`Cause you ain't heard her out yet

I don't like cricket
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
I don't like reggae
I love it (Dreadlock Holiday)
Don't like Jamaica
I love her (Dreadlock Holiday)

[Clear Skies]

The song that I sang for my audition for the last school musical...

Awww...sentimental value

Runrig - News From Heaven

By the mountainside, by the ocean blue
Where the struggle broke my heart in two
River of millions flow downstream
A golden highway to the sea of dreams

But now you're here
I feel no fear
I can't believe
The news from heaven
You close your eyes
On a world inside
A spark of life
On a wire from heaven

Morning comes, turn on the light
Deceive the day, delay the night
Ideologies come, ideologies go
A waste of words, and endless flow

But now you're here
I feel no fear
I can't believe
The news from heaven
You close your eyes
On a world inside
A spark of life
On a wire from heaven
Wire from heaven

In the state of a miracle
State of a miracle
I watch this miracle unfold
In the state of a miracle
State of a miracle
Far north of a soul

Great people come, take the stage
Famous moments vanish without trace
Trees grow tall, fields grow wheat
Woman grows older, man grows weak

But now you're here
I feel no fear
I can't believe
The news from heaven
You close your eyes
On a world inside
A spark of life
On a wire from heaven
Wire from heaven

Aside: Eddie Vedder is, of course, the guy from Pearl Jam. Weird Al's acknowledgements for the Running With Scissors album end with "And special thanks to Eddie Vedder . . . who's actually a pretty cool guy".

Weird Al Yankovic - My Baby's In Love With Eddie Vedder

Well, my baby, my baby, she don't want me no more
Ever since she saw his poster in that record store
She says the way he grinds his molars is really sexy
She thinks he's so darn dysfunctional and Generation-X-ey
She likes his brooding angst and his wild-eyed stare
Yeah, he's her very favorite slacker multi-millionaire

Well, my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder,
She's got a thing for that Eddie Vedder,
Tell me what can he do that I can't do better
Yeah, my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder

Now, every time I see him, well he looks so grim
I guess it really must suck to be a rock star like him
What a pain in the butt to have so much success
Spendin' all his time mopin' and avoidin' the press
But my girl can't get enough of his sullen demeanor
Like he's some big tortured genius and I'm some kinda wiener

Well, my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder,
Head over heels for that Eddie Vedder
I can't believe it, now she's knittin' him a sweater
'Cause my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder

I knew we were headed for disaster
When she caught me hangin' out at the Ticketmaster
Now she's got an unrequited adoration
For the frustrated, agitated, designated, alienated spokesman for the disaffected grunge generation

Well, I don't wear Doc Martens and I don't wear flannel
And I don't boycott the music video channel
And I just can't compete with all that money and fame
But I know two can play at this kind of game
Yeah, well let's just see how jealous she'll get
When I start stalkin' Alanis Morrisette

Well, my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder,
Why'd she have to fall for that Eddie Vedder?
If she wants to leave me I guess I'd better let her
'Cause my baby's in love with Eddie Vedder

[Frankychan]

Denied-by: Unwritten Law

I'm trying...denying
why won't you ever talk to me?
I know it...can't show it,
I guess it's kind of hard to see.
I'm learning...confirming
the lies a thousand times before.
I know it...can't blow it
not long before you shut the door.

Chorus:
I'm trying, denying
I guess it's never supposed to be
it's coming down now
it's comingg down because of me

when I look into your eyes
you know you've got me hypnotized
all I want is to hold on
I know all these problems just begin
it seems as if they'll never end

Chorus

All I want is to hold on to you
want to lay baack and close my eyes
dream of things I could not find
just lay back and close my eyes

I'm trying, denying
I guess it's never supposed to be (background:just lay back and close my eyes)
it's coming down now (bg:just lay back and close my eyes)
its coming down because of me

(this song one of my friends told me to listen. She said that I should pay attention to it cause I was talking to her about this one girl I wanted to ask out but didn't get enough balls to. This song kinda put things into perspective for me after.)

[Frankychan]

Digital Love-by Daft Punk

Last night I had a dream about you
In this dream I'm dancing right beside you
And it looked like everyone was having fun
The kind of feeling I've waited so long

Don't stop come a little closer
As we jam the rhythm gets stronger
There's nothing wrong with just a little little fun
We were dancing all night long

The time is right to put my arms around you
You're feeling right
You wrap your arms around too
But suddenly I feel the shining sun
Before I knew it this dream was all gone

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
I wish this dream comes true

Ooh I don't know what to do
About this dream and you
We'll make this dream come true

Why don't you play the game ?
Why don't you play the game ?

(Another song I listen to at least once a week. This helps to remind me of how I used to be and helps give me inspiration and solace)
