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

[SlowwHand]

I'll open this thread with the same song as the others.


It's In The Way That You Use It
by Eric Clapton and Peter Robertson


It's in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It's in the way that you use it,
Boy don't you know.


And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.


Nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
Nobody's weak till somebody's strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody's lonely till somebody's gone.


Repeat First Chorus


Repeat First Chorus


Repeat Second Chorus


I've seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I've told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.


Repeat First Chorus

[SlowwHand]

Silver Springs
(Stevie Nicks)
Fleetwood Mac


You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashing
I would be your only dream
Your shining over ocean crashing

Don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you
Baby I don't want to know

So I begin not to love you
Turn 'round, see me running
I say I loved you years ago
But tell myself you never loved me no

And don't say that she's pretty
And did you say that she loved you
Baby I don't want to know

Oh no
And can you tell me was it worth it
Baby I don't want to know

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

Time cast a spell on you
But you won't forget me
I know I could have loved you
But you would not let me

I follow you down 'till the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you
(Was I just a fool)

I follow you down 'till the sound
Of my voice will haunt you
(Give me just a chance)
You'll never get away from the sound
Of the woman who loves you
(Was I just a fool)

I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock 'n' Roll Band)
The Moody Blues

I keep on wand'ring on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people who are trying to be free
And while I wander I hear so many words
Language barriers broken now we've found the key

And if you want this world of yours to turn about you
And you're the only other person to know
Don't tell me
I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band

How can we understand
Riots for the people by the people who are only destroying themselves
And if you see a frightened person who is frightened by the people
Who are (scorching) scorching this earth
(Scorching) scorching this earth

I keep on wan'dring on the face of this earth
Meeting so many people who are trying to be free
And while I wander I hear so many words
Language barriers broken now we've found the key

And if you want the wind of change to blow around you
And you can see exactly what to do
Please tell me
I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band

How can we understand
Riots for the people by the people who are only destroying themselves
And if you see a frightened person who is frightened by the people
Who are (scorching) scorching this earth
(Scorching) scorching this earth

Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
I'm Just a Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band (2x)
Music is the traveller crossing our world
Meeting so many people, bridging the seas
I'm Just the Singer in a Rock 'n' Roll Band
We're just the singers in a rock 'n' roll band

Landslide
Stevie Nicks 1975



I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes you get bolder
Even children get older
And I'm getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down.

[Clear Skies]

Yay Sloww! I sat there all through my free period going 'damnit, why isn't he online? Why hasn't he started the new thread yet? Damnit!'

As always, love&peace to everyone who reads this thread.


Tracy Chapman - Subcity

People say it doesn't exist
'Cause no one would like to admit
That there is a city underground
Where people live everyday
Off the waste and decay
Off the discards of their fellow man

Here in subcity life is hard
We can't receive any government relief
I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards
For disregarding me

They say there's too much crime in these city streets
My sentiments exactly
Government and big business hold the purse strings
When I worked I worked in the factories
I'm at the mercy of the world
I guess I'm lucky to be alive

Here in subcity life is hard
We can't receive any government relief
I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards
For disregarding me

They say we've fallen through the cracks
They say the system works
But we won't let it
Help
I guess they never stop to think
We might not just want handouts
But a way to make an honest living
Living this ain't living

What did I do deserve this
Had my trust in god
Worked everyday of my life
Thought I had some guarantees
That's what I thought
At least that's what I thought

Here in subcity life is hard
We can't receive any government relief
I'd like to please give Mr. President my honest regards
For disregarding me

Last night I had another restless sleep
Wondering what tomorrow might bring
Last night I dreamed
A cold blue light was shining down on me
I screamed myself awake
Thought I must be dying
Thought I must be dying

[self biased]

nine inch nails, the great below.

staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me
after all is said and done

anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you

all the world has closed her eyes
tired faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been

ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny i've chose
all becoming clear

the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear

and i descend from grace
in arms of undertow
i will take my place
in the great below

i can still feel you
even so far away

[OneFootInTheGrave]

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

Eclipse

Pink Floyd

[OneFootInTheGrave]

To my surprise, and my daylight,
I saw sun rise, I saw sunlight,
I am nothing, in the dark,
And the clouds burst to show a daylight,
Oooooo and the sun shines, Yeaaahhh on this star of mine,
Oooooo and I realise, Oooooo couldn't live without,
Oooooo couldn't part without it

On a hill top, on a sky rise,
Like a first born, child,
At a full tilt, and at full flight
You see darkness, in the daylight

Oooooo and the sun shines, Yeaaahhh on this star of mine,
Oooooo and I realise, Oooooo couldn't be without,
Oooooo couldn't part without, daylight

Slowly breaking through the daylight (x22 to fade)

------

Daylight

Coldplay

[Clear Skies]

U2 - Walk On
Dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, rightful Prime Minister of Burma

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like
It's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong (oh ho)

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase
For a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it, or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

I know it aches
Your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
You got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
And all that you break
All that you measure
All that you deal
What you count on two fingers
And all that you steal
You've got to leave it behind...

[boann]

Elton John
I guess thats why they call it the blues

Don't wish it away
Don't look at it like it's forever
Between you and me I could honestly say
That things can only get better

And while I'm away
Dust out the demons inside
And it won't be long before you and me run
To the place in our hearts where we hide


And I guess that's why they call it the blues
Time on my hands could be time spent with you
Laughing like children, living like lovers
Rolling like thunder under the covers
And I guess that's why they call it the blues


Just stare into space
Picture my face in your hands
Live for each second without hesitation
And never forget I'm your man


Wait on me girl
Cry in the night if it helps
But more than ever I simply love you
More than I love life itself

Magazine: The Light Pours Out of Me


Time flies
time crawls
like an insect
up and down the walls

The light pours out of me
the light pours out of me

The conspiracy
of silence ought
to revolutionise
my thought

The light pours out of me ...


The cold light of day
pours out of me
leaving me black
and so healthy

The light pours out of me ...

It jerks out of me
like blood
in this still life
heart beats up love

The light pours out of me ...

[boann]

moody blues

So Deep Within You

Talk to me baby, I want to sleep at night
My heart is heavy, it's weighed down by the night.
And now I'm lonely, I want to see the light
So deep within you.

Cool wind is blowing through your crazy hair.
Warm colours flowing, this feeling we have shared.
And now I'm lonely I want tofeel the love
So deep within you.

Your love's a never-ending dream
A castle by a stream of sweet understanding
I know you're thinking of me too, the messages
>From you are my inspiration.

Love's incense lingers, it never fades away.
Like you I'm waiting for our special day.
And now I'm lonely I want to feelthe love
So deep within you

My love is burning, like a forest fire
My heart is yearning, I feel a warm desire.
And now I'm lonely I want to touch the fire
So deep within you.


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

The Story In Your Eyes


I've been thinking about our fortune,
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same

And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
I realize

Listen to the tide slowly turning
Wash all our heartaches away
We are part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day

But I'm frightened for your children
And the life that we are living is in vain
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain

When the final line is over
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall
I can hide inside your sweet sweet love
For ever more

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

The Day We Meet Again


The day we meet again,
I'll be waiting there,
I'll be waiting there for you.
'Cause the years have been so lonely,
Like a dog without a home.
It's dangerous when you find out,
You've been drinking on your own.

The day we meet again,
We will walk in peace,
Through the garden down the road.
Where the mist of time is lifting,
See it rising in the air.
Like a shadow I was chasing,
When I looked it wasn't there.
Oh no.

Just in case you're wondering,
What was really on my mind.
It wasn't what you took, my love,
It's what you left behind.

And just in case you're wondering,
Will it really be the same?
Will it really be the same?
You know we're only living for,
The day we meet again.

So hold on, and don't let go, Hold... On... Don't...
Time heals, you know, I know. Time... Heals... You know...

The day we meet again,
I'll be waiting there,
I'll be waiting there for you.
'Cause the years have been so lonely,
Like a dog without a home.
It's dangerous when you find out,
You've been drinking on your own.

The day we meet again,
We will walk in peace,
Through the garden down the road.
When the mist of time is lifting,
See it rising in the air.
Like the shadow I was chasing,
When I looked, oh no, it wasn't there.
Oh no, it wasn't there,
It wasn't there. Hold on baby don't let go.

It wasn't there.
Oh no, oh no, oh no.
Come on baby, never let go,
Come on baby, never let go.

[Juggernaut]

I've never really understood the "uh huh" part. Are you OK?

I know the song is about something different, but it still seemed funny to me.

Seal - Kiss From a Rose

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,

I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grey.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

sloww ..how many of these have you started in your life time?

my song of the moment and the song that's been playing nonstop in (yes) my tape deck

Fine Again by Seether

It seems like every day’s the same
And I’m left to discover on my own
It seems like everything is gray
And there’s no color to behold
They say it’s over and I’m fine again, yeah
Try to stay sober feels like I’m dying here

And I am aware now of how
Everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell I am prepared now
Seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well

I feel the dream in me expire
And there’s no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
Cuz I can’t seem to get this through
You say it’s over, I can sigh again, yeah
Why try to stay sober when I’m dying here

And I am aware now of how
Everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now
Seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well

And I’m not scared now
I must assure you
you’re never gonna get away
And I’m not scared now
And I’m not scared now, now

I am aware now of how
Everything’s gonna be fine one day
Too late, I’m in hell
I am prepared now
seems everyone’s gonna be fine
One day too late, just as well
I am prepared now
Seems everything’s gonna be fine for me
For me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
For me, for me, for myself
I am prepared now for myself
I am prepared now
And I am fine again
