Uh huh. Latest "Songs In The Key Of Life" Threads

[Sprayber]

Whiskey Bent And Hell Bound
Hank Williams, Jr.

I've got a good woman at home
who thinks I do no wrong
But sometimes lord, she just ain't always around
And you know that's when I fall, I can't help myself at all
And I get whiskey bent and hell bound

Play me some songs about a ramblin' man,
put a cold one in my hand,
'cause you know I love to hear those guitar sounds
Don't you play 'I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry'
cause I'll get all balled up inside
And I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

Sure enough about closing time,
(I'm) about stoned out of my mind
And I end up with some honky-tonk special I found
Just as sure as the morning sun come,
thinking of my sweet girl at home
And I need to get whiskey bent and hell bound

Play me some songs about a ramblin' man,
put old Jim Beam in my hand
'cause you know I still love to get drunk
and hear country sounds
But don't you play 'Your Cheatin' Heart'
cause that'll tear me all apart
I'll get whiskey bent and hell bound

Yeah, old Hank's songs always make me feel low down
-------------------------------------------------------------
FAMILY TRADITION
Hank Williams Jr.

Country music singers have always been a real close family
But lately some of my kinfolk
have disowned a few others and me
I guess it's because I went and changed my position
Lord, I guess I went and broke their family tradition

Chorus
They yell, they wanna know: "Hank.."
Why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over - try to put yourself in this position
When I get stoned, I'm just carryin' on and old family tradition.

Now I am very proud of my daddy's name
Although his kind of music and mine ain't exactly the same
Stop and think it over - try to put yourself in my position
When I get stoned and sing all night long it's just a family tradition

Chorus 2
Don't ask me: "Hank..."
Why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out them songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky tonk,
and some ole slick's tryin' to gimme some friction
I says "Leave me alone,
I'm stayin' all night long 'cause it's a family tradition"

Lordy, I have loved some ladies, and I still love Jim Beam
They both tried to kill me in nineteen seventy-three
When that doctor asks me "Son, how'dja get in this condition?"
I says "Hey Sawbones, I'm just a-carryin' on the old family tradition."

Chorus 3
So don't ask me: "Hank..."
Why do you drink? Why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out them songs that you wrote?
Stop and think it over - try to put yourself in my unique position
When I get stoned and sing all night long, it's just a family tradition.

Her Song

GUNS 'N' ROSES
Sweet Child O'Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

[SlowwHand]

(You're My) Soul and Inspiration
The Righteous Brothers

Girl, I can't let you do this
Let you walk away
Girl, how can I live through this
When you're all I wake up for each day?

Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I?

I never had much goin'
But at least I had you
How can you walk out knowin'
I ain't got nothin' left if you do?

Baby, you're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I, oh what good am I?

SPOKEN: Baby, I can't make it withoutcha. And I'm, I'm tellin' ya, honey-you're my
reason for laughin', for cryin', for livin', and for dyin'.

Baby, I can't make it without you
Please, I'm begging you baby
If you go it will kill me
I swear it, Dear, my love can't bear it

You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
You're all I've got to get me by
You're my soul and my heart's inspiration
Without you baby, what good am I, what good am I?

Mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm

Triple Shot Wednesday - The Lighthouse Family

Yes, yes, I know it's not Thursday, but I always miss Triple Shot Thursday cos I'm out playing badminton...so just this once, hm?

High

When you're close to tears remember
Some day it'll all be over
One day 'we're gonna get so high
And though it's darker than December
What's ahead is a different colour
One day 'we're gonna get so high

And at
The end of the day
We'll remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through
And at
The end of the day
We'll remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
We'll remember it was me and you

'Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You'll always keep me flying high in the sky of love

Don't you think it's time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day 'we're gonna get so high
'Cause even the impossible is easy
When we got each other
One day 'we're gonna get so high

And at
The end of the day
We'll remember the days
When we were close to the edge
And we'll wonder how we made it through
And at
The end of the day
We'll remember the way
We stayed so close to till the end
We'll remember it was me and you

'Cause we are gonna be forever
You and me
You will always keep me flying high in the sky of love


Ocean Drive - for DM

Say it's true, black and blue, I can share your situation
Been holding our emotions back, will only make us cry
If you go, I know, but you know, it ain't so serious anyway
When the clouds arise we'll live on the Ocean Drive

Don't know why you're so blue
The sun's gonna shine on everything you do (I promise...)
And the sky is so blue
The sun's gonna shine on everything you do (I swear)

He left you
Black and blue, without a word of explanation
And he took your love for granted and he left you high and dry
You know someday, when you'll wonder what you see in him anyway
What that day arrives we'll live on the Ocean Drive

Don't know why you're so blue
The sun's gonna shine on everything you do (I promise...)
And the sky is so blue
Sun's gonna shine on everything you do (I swear)


Lost In Space

Sometimes I get tired of this me first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you

'Cause your life shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do?

Feels just so fine
When we touch the sky me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can't it always be so good

But it's alright, I know you're out there
Doing what you've gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I'd be lost in space without you

And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do?

Angel's Son by Sevendust

Life is changing
I can't go on without you
Rearranging. I will be strong
I'll stand by you

(You were fighting everyday)
(So hard to hide the pain)
(I know you never said goodbye)
(I had so much left to say)

One last song
Given to an Angel's Son
As soon as you were gone
As soon as you were gone

I have a new life now
She lives through you
What can I do
I Feel so alone now
I pray for you
We still love you

I can't believe you're gone

I can't believe

Tits on a Boar by Sevendust

Tell me something cause I don't know
If that look's for me
Change your face and show me
How is it that you can sleep?

(SHOW ME THAT FACE) Bring it up to me
(SHOW ME THAT FACE) Means nothing to me

(WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME)

What you see in me
(A mother****er without a life that's
always gettin' somethin')
What you see in me
(I GOT A LIFE - YOU GET A LIFE
AND SHOW ME SOMETHIN')

Black and white I ask this question
Twisted lies come clean
Face it. I see it. Don't wanna be it.
I hate it. I feed it.
Can't wait to see you.

(SHOW ME THAT FACE) Bring it up to me
(SHOW ME THAT FACE) Means nothing to me

Tell me something cause I don't know
If that look's for me

(A mother****er without a life that's
always gettin' somethin')

(WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME)

What you see in me
(A mother****er without a life that's
always gettin' somethin')

What you see in me
(I GOT A LIFE. YOU GET A LIFE
AND SHOW ME)

The Game of Love by Santana and Michelle Branch

Tell me,
Just what you want me to be
One kiss and boom you’re the only one for me
So please tell me
Why … don’t you come around no more?
Cause right now I’m
Cryin … outside the door of your candy store

Chorus:
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss now we’re up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I’m telling you my baby it’s all in the game of love . . .

is, whatever you make it to be
Sunshine, set on this cold, lonely sea
So please baby
Try … and use me for what I’m good for
It ain’t sayin’
Goodbye… It’s knockin down the door of your candy store

Repeat Chorus:
(add) It’s all in this game of love

Bridge:
You roll me, control me, console me
Please hold me
You guide me, divide me into what

(Make me feel good yeah)

So please tell me
Why… don’t you come around no more?
Cause right now I’m
Dying … outside the door of your lovin store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss now we’re up to bat
It little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I’m telling you my baby it’s all in the game of love
It’s all in this game of love, it’s all in the game of love

Roll me, control, me
Please hold me

now here am I on my own, on my own

[Sprayber]

One
(Hetfield,Ulrich)

I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there´s not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

[Chorus]
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it´s much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

[Chorus]

Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh God help me, hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me

Darkness
Imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine
Has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
-------------------------------------------------
The Unforgiven
(Hetfield,Ulrich,Hammett)

New blood joins this earth
And quikly he's subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life´s the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven.

[Sprayber]

Song I Come Back To

Paint It Black
The Rolling Stones

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back

I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!

[Mr. President]

Lonely night in the desert

Restless Heart - The Bluest Eyes in Texas

The lonesome Texas sun was setting slow.
And in the rear view mirror, I watched it go.
I can still see the wind in her golden hair.
I close my eyes for a moment; I'm still there.

The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight.
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky,
Her memory fills my mind.
Where did I go wrong? (Did I wait too long.)
Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight.

Another town, another hotel room.
Another dream that ended way too soon.
Left me lonely way before the dawn,
And searching for the strength to carry on.

The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight.
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky,
Her memory fills my mind.
Where did I go wrong? (Did I wait too long.)
Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight.

For every heart you break, you pay the price.
But I can't forget the tears in her blue eyes.

The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight.
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky,
Her memory fills my mind.
Where did I go wrong? (Did I wait too long.)
Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight.

The bluest eyes in Texas are haunting me tonight.

Triple Shot Thursday; Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young

OUR HOUSE


I'll light the fire
You place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Staring at the fire for hours and hours
While I listen to you play your love songs all night long for me,
Only for me.

Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is done
Such a cozy room
The windows are illuminated by the evening sunshine through them
Fiery gems for you.
Only for you.

Our house is a very very very fine house
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy, 'cause of you
I'll light the fire
While you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.

--------------------------------------------------------------------


TEACH YOUR CHILDREN


You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

JUST A SONG BEFORE I GO


Just a song before I go,
To whom it may concern.
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned.

When the shows were over
We had to get back home,
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone.

She helped me with my suitcase,
She stands before my eyes
Driving me to the airport,
And to the friendly skies.

Going through security
I held her for so long.
She finally looked at me in love,
And she was gone.

Just a song before I go,
A lesson to be learned.
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned.

(per)Version of a Truth, Mudvayne

when everything is lost, (peel it all away)
haunting us with questions (asking)
will we...
ever find the smile inside ( no), is it hidden
behind the sweating eyes (bleeding)
dead inside a scream that's pouring from me

i'm planted in this skin, (constricting and pulling me)
this dirty filthy skin(rancid and stinging me)
i burn behind the walls, (that have become my world)
the bearer of a gift, f*ck your gift

truth does not exist,
but the lies do...
they're buried under the skin,
evolved

perversion of a truth i'm stuck there,
(inside of lies buried in me, why)
alone
born into a world never asked to be here
(try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth)
(it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth)

Always in side a tragedy, (things never seem to go away)
a room that i remember, (portaits that i carry)
try letting go of this space (bad habits can't kick me)
fool that fell from heaven, heaven
perversion of a truth i'm stuck there,

(inside of lies buried in me, why)
alone
born into a world never asked to be here
(try to forget truth doesn't exist, truth)
(it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, truth)

maybe we're all the children of a star,
misguided in direction, our misdirection
pardon me while i pray for light

i'm not the only one,
that walks between the rain, there are many.
i'm not the only one,
when everything is lost that doesn't surrender

perversion of a truth
i'm stuck there (inside of lies buried in me, why)
alone
blind walking through a world
i never asked to be here

versions of the truth ...
i'm not the only one ...


Nothing to Gein, Mudvayne.

Cold and silent, soiled face I will wash it all away,
With my love,
That's all she's ever needed, from me
It's my time, to mother,
One of my own in my life,
I am so alone, left with no one
In my life, I'm so alone

Life submissiveness,
Hypnotizing the ignorant a little boy's best friend's always his
mother,
At least that's what she said,
Life of a simple man,
Taught that everyone else is dirty,
And their love is meaningless,
I'm just a soiled dirty boy,
I'm just a soiled dirty boy,

Sheltered life innocence,
Insulated memories, spark reflections of my head,
Duality in my consciousness,
Caught in the war of hemispheres,
Between the love lost in my head,
Mommy do you still live inside of me,
I'm so lost in my life without any guiding,
Protected me my whole life from everything,
Nailed shut the doors to the shrine,
To screen your dead eyes from me and my sickness,
Mutilate and sew my new clothes for masquerading,
Aprons of flesh corpse scalped hair with skin upon my face,

Deliver the remains from her womb of earth,
Prep the rack and tie up for new love's rebirth,
Covert understanding of novice surgery,
I'll focus concentration and only take just what I need
For sickness I'm masticating,
Dancing and masturbating,
Celebrate in fields of night with skin upon my face

If I soak my hands in others blood am I sick,
If I wash my hands in others blood am I sick,
If I drench myself in others blood am I sick,
If I bathe myself in others blood

Blame mother for the sickness,
Mutilate and sew my new clothes for masquerading,
Aprons of flesh corpse scalped hair with skin upon my face,
Dance and masturbate in night light by myself..

Nothing is left for me to gain they're coming to take me far away,

Life submissiveness,
Hypnotizing the ignorant a little boy's best friend's always his
mother,
At least that's what she said,
Life of a simple man,
Taught that everyone else is dirty,
And their love is meaningless,
I'm just a soiled dirty boy,
I'm just a soiled dirty boy,


Life of a simple man taught that everyone else is dirty and love is
meaningless
I'm so soiled
Soiled


Trapped in the Wake of a Dream, Mudvayne.

do i deserve these beatings?
hating me, well then
cut, cut the noose and let me fall away
i'm growing weak and tired,
of you and your little shoving games,
f*cking, pushing me,
you pulled the trigger,
trapped in the wake of your...

dream, you're all killers, always f*ckin'
pushing me, insulting me, i've overcome,
i have found the strength of gods in me
crushing, all unwillling, this is so unstoppable,
hard as nails hook that holds, reach down
and find the strength of many in you

my sanctuary alling my name so i run
throught, to the light, weeping through a cloud
darkened, by a tainted dream
of me, being pummeled by the tide,
crushing, killing me,
but i can't wake up,
trapped in the wake of a...

dream, you're all killers, always f*ckin'
pushing me, insulting me, i've overcome,
i have found the strength of gods in me
crushing, all unwillling, this is so unstoppable,
hard as nails hook that holds, reach down
and find the strength of many in you

call it, call a truce, i'm believing, in it more and more
comfort, purge the truth, i'll beleive it, i'm so weak and sore,
shadowed, hide and seek but you never
looked, i wait behind the door,
call out, bite the hand, that is feeding,
compassion no more

i hope i never wake up

dream sewing, filters distort the reality of what min is through
light this mind awakens
i draw the line from then and now,
awake and dreaming,
forgotten past and future becomes mine.

throw the chains, all away, take control,
of your life, powers known,
this is my,

dream, you're all killers, always f*ckin'
pushing me, insulting me, i've overcome,
i have found the strength of gods in me
crushing, all unwillling, this is so unstoppable,
hard as nails hook that holds, reach down
and find the strength of many in you

Somebody Like You

Keith Urban.



There's a new wind blowin' like I've never known.
I'm breathin' deeper than I've ever done.
And it sure feels good, to finally feel the way I do.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.

An' I'm lettin' go of all my lonely yesterdays.
I've forgiven myself for the mistakes I've made.
Now there's just one thing, the only thing I wanna do, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.

Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
You let me know there's nothing in this world I can't do.

I used to run in circles goin' no-where fast.
I'd take, uh, one step forward and two steps back.
Couldn't walk a straight line even if I wanted to, mmm, mmm.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.

Whoa here we go now!

Yeah, I wanna feel the sunshine,
Shinin' down on me and you.
When you put your arms around me,
Well, baby there ain't nothing in this world I can't do.

Sometimes it's hard for me to understand,
But you're teachin' me to be a better man.
I don't want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no, no.
I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you.

I'm ready to love somebody,
Love somebody like you. Oooh.

An' I wanna love somebody,
Love somebody like you, yeah.



Oh yeah.
Oh, I wanna be the man in the middle of the night,
Shinin' like it's true.

Dido - Worthless
From the 'Highbury Fields' EP

I know what you came for
and I know when you'll leave
You came for my heart
and it's lost to me
For I won't stop you, I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more
I know why you're leaving
and I'll just let it be
I am left with nothing and now you're lost to me
For I can't stop you, I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

I know why you're waiting
Give me time to breathe
Before you take my heart now, and just get up and leave
For I won't stop you
I will open my door
My heart is here waiting
I don't need it no more

For love makes a fool of me
For love makes a clown of us
Yes it does, Yes it does
You know it's worthless, as worthless can be
