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

[Sprayber]

"Glycerine"
Bush

Must be your skin I'm sinking in
must be for real cuz now I can feel
and I didn't mind
it's not my kind
not my time to wonder why
everything's gone white
and everything's gray
now you're here now you're away
I don't want this
remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
don't let the days go by

glycerine, glycerine

I'm never alone
I'm alone all the time
are you at one
or do you lie
we live in a wheel
where everyone steals
but when we rise it's like strawberry fields

if I treated you bad
you bruise my face
couldn't love you more
you got a beautiful taste
don't let the days go by
could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
should have been easier by three
our old friend fear and you and me
glycerine, glycerine

don't let the days go by
glycerine
don't let the days go by
glycerine, glycerine
glycerine, glycerine

Bad moon white again, Bad moon white again,
As she fall around me

I needed you more
when we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
it might just be
clear simple and plain
that's just fine
that's just one of my names
don't let the days go by
could've been easier on you
glycerine, glycerine, glycerine, glycerine

[Sprayber]

Cumbersome
Seven Mary Three

she calls me goliath and I wear the david mask
I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
you know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass
all the stones that are thrown are building up a wall
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
but my old stone face can't seem to break her down
she remembers bridges, burns them to the ground
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

too heavy too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right, today or tonite
cumbersome
too rich too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
the bitter taste is cumbersome

there is a balance between two worlds
one with an arrow and a cross
regardless of the balance life has become
cumbersome

too heavy too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right, today or tonite
cumbersome
too rich too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
the bitter taste is cumbersome

Your life has become cumbersome

[Sprayber]

Killin' Time
Clint Black

You were the first thing that I thought of
When I thought I drank you off my mind
When I get lost in the liquor
You're the only one I find
And if I did the things I oughta
You still would not be mine
So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
Gettin' loose and killin' time

This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
That if I cross that line and they bury me
Well I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I've been lost in yesterday
I've spent all my life just dying
For a love that passed away
And if there's an end to all my sorrow
And this is the only price I'll pay
I'll be a happy man when I go
And I can't wait another day

This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' I won't see
That if I cross that line and they bury me
Well I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity
Yes, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

[SlowwHand]

Triple Shot Thursday; Joe Cocker

Up Where We Belong
Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes


Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world where few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real
I keep it alive

The road is long
There are mountains in the way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives looking behind
When all we have is here and now
All our lives
Out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in the way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive... today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Up where the clear winds blow

Feeling Alright


Seems I've got to have a change of scene
'Cause ev'ry night I have the strangest dreams;
Imprisoned by the way it could have been,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I've got to leave before I start to scream,
But someone locked the door and took the key.
You feelin' alright
I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Well, you feelin' alright
I'm not feelin' too good myself.
Well boy, you sure took me for one big ride,
And even now I sit and wonder why,
That when I think of you I start myself to cry,
I just can't waste my time, I must keep dry.
Gotta stop believing in all your lies,
'Cause there's too much to do before I die.
You feelin' alright ......
Don't get too lost in all I say,
Yeah by the time, you know, I really felt that way.
But that was then; Now, you know, it's today,
I just can't get off so I'm here to stay.
'Til someone comes along and takes my place,
With a diff'rent name, oh, a diff'rent face
You feeling alright ......

With A Little Help From My Friends


What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.


A young Joe, at his spastic best.

[DaShi]

Could you take the 'uh huh' part out of this thread? Everytime I see it, I think that this thread is a meeting for "Retards Anonymous." And that last picture ain't helping.

[SlowwHand]

Can you tear your ass out of here?
Say bye. Bye, bye.

[DaShi]

The world ain't pretty! Better gouge your eyes out and save me the trouble.

if i had a boat

(Lyle Lovett)

If I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

If I were Roy Rogers
I'd sure enough be single
I couldn't bring myself to marrying old Dale
It'd just be me and trigger
We'd go riding through them movies
Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

The mystery masked man was smart
He got himself a Tonto
'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free
But Tonto he was smarter
And one day said kemo sabe
Kiss my ass I bought a boat
I'm going out to sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

And if I were like lightning
I wouldn't need no sneakers
I'd come and go wherever I would please
And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree
And I'd scare 'em by the light pole
But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea

And if I had a boat
I'd go out on the ocean
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on my boat
And we could all together
Go out on the ocean
Me upon my pony on my boat

[SlowwHand]

I Want You To Want Me
Cheap Trick

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I want you to want me
l need you to need me
I'd love you to love me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes
I'll put on a brand new shirt
I'll come home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I didn't I didn't I see you cryin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'
Feeling all alone without a friend you know you feel like dyin'
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'd love you to hive me
I'm beggin' you to beg me
I'll shine up my old brown shoes ....
Didn't I, didn't I, ..........
Feeling all alone without a friend ........
I want you ....................

[Clear Skies]

Feelin a little down...Joni helps...

Joni Mitchell - Little Green

Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she will answer to
Call her green and the winters cannot fade her
Call her green for the children who've made her
Little green, be a gypsy dancer

He went to California
Hearing that everything's warmer there
So you write him a letter and say "Her eyes are blue"
He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
Little green he's a non-conformer

Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you are sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You're sad and you're sorry but you're not ashamed
Little green have a happy ending

Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

[SlowwHand]

For Some Of The Apolyton Ladies

She's Waiting
by Eric Clapton and Peter Robinson



She's waiting for another love.
She's waiting for another love.


She's been waiting for another love,
Someone that she can show into her heart.
And when she finally finds a stronger love,
Your whole world's gonna fall apart.


Chorus

You've been abusing her for far too long;
Think you're a king and she's your pawn.
Get ready now, 'cause pretty soon
She'll be gone and you'll be on your own.


Chorus

I see the hunger burning in her eye;
Any fool could see there's something wrong.
You keep pretending not to care,
But I will hear you sing a different song.


Chorus

Waiting for another lover,
Hoping for the time that she'll find another...

Eagles and Horses


Horses are creatures who worship the earth as they gallop on feet of ivory.
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth, the horses still run, they are free.
My body is merely the shell of my soul but the flesh must be given its due.
Like a pony that carries its rider back home, like an old friend that's tried and been true.
I had a vision of eagles and horses high on a ridge in a race with the wind.
Going higher and higher and faster and faster, on eagles and horses, I'm flying again.

Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights, they know neither limit nor bound.
They're the guardian angels of darkness and light, they see all and hear every sound.
My spirit will never be broken or caught for the soul is a free-flying thing.
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought to rise up on glorious wings.
I had a vision of eagles and horses high on a ridge in a race with the wind.

My body is merely the shell of my soul, but the flesh must be given its due.
Like a pony that carries its master back home, like an old friend that's tried and been true.
My spirit will never be broken or caught for the soul is a free-flying thing.
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought to rise up on glorious wings.
I had a vision of eagles and horses high on a ridge in a race with the wind.

A Song For All Lovers

I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight, somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun.
I hear them singing a song for all lovers, a song for the two hearts beating only as one.
Imagine the morning, no longer alone. The arms of another, a place to belong.
No longer the struggle, no longer the night, and ever becoming in the quickening light.
To see the darkness, to listen within, to answer in kindness, to ever begin.
To ever be gentle, to always be strong. To walk in the wonder, to live in the song.
In a place of enchantment where the wild things are known.
Will the future remember when the lovers are gone?

To ever be gentle, to always be strong, to walk in the wonder, to live in the song.
And I see them dancing somewhere in the moonlight,
somewhere in Alaska, somewhere in the sun.
And I hear them singing a song for all lovers.
A song for the two hearts beating only as one.
A song for the two hearts beating only as one.

---------------------------------------
For You

Just to look in your eyes again, just to lay in your arms.
Just to be the first one always there for you.
Just to live in your laughter, just to sing in your heart.
Just to be every one of your dreams come true.
Just to sit by your window, just to touch in the night. Just to offer a prayer each day for you.
Just to long for your kisses, just to dream of your sighs.
Just to know that I'd give my life for you.
For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the rest of my life, for you alone, only for you.

Just to wake up each morning, just to have you by my side.
Just to know that you're never really far away.
Just a reason for living, just to say I adore. Just to know that you're here in my heart to stay.
For you, all the rest of my life, for you, all the rest of my life, for you alone, only for you.
Just the words of a love song, just the beat of my heart.
Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you.

btw...the song below is AWESOME

Polyamorous by Breaking Benjamin

The day has come to an end
The sun is over my head
My polyamorous friend
got me in a mess of trouble again
so
Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawlin out from the inside
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all

They've come to get me again
The cloud is over my head
My polyamorous friend
Got me in a mess of trouble again
so
Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawlin out from the inside
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all
just stay away from the white light
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all-

well how do you know?
well how do you know?
well how do you know?
well how do you know?

Just when you think that you're all right
I'm crawlin out from the inside
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all
Just stay away from the white light
I'd say your worst side's your best side
I never hurt anyone
I never listen at all
Let's go

Cigarettes Will Kill You by Ben Lee (and oldie but goodie.....add this to your winamp list)

You throw me in a pan
You cook me in a can
You stretch me with your hands

You love to watch me bake
You serve me up with cake
And that's your big mistake

Your guest comes in dressed smart
You offer a la carte
You didn't have the heart

And I want a TV embrace
And I, I'm getting off your boiling plate
They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong

You left me burned and seared
You left me ripped and teared
And older than my years

I should have know at first
That you would leave me hurt
You had to try dessert

No way to let off steam
Don't bother milk or cream
No way to let off steam

And I want a TV embrace
And I, I'm getting off this boiling plate
They swore you'd steal my steam to feed your dream
And then be gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong

It must feel good to stand above me
While I make you so proud of me
It must feel good that I'm now gone
I wish I could say that everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong
I wish everyone was wrong

[SlowwHand]

For Jimmy Cricket


Jimmy and I were brothers.
We went down different paths.
Jimmy always listened to my mother,
And me, I never like to take a bath.

As we grew and tumbled through adulthood
The pressure caused emotional drain.
So now I'm slowly dying in the bottle
and Jimmy has to live with half a brain.

Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.

Jimmy let his troubles drive him crazy.
He never tried to drown it in a drink.
I know that drinking makes my thinking hazy,
But at least I still have brains enough to think.

Jimmy's got a brain that isn't stable.
He doesn't have the sense to say his name.
I'm sorry that his doctor was unable
To remove the proper portion of his brain.

Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.

Funny how the world works.
People can be real jerks.
Some prefer the tension over booze.

Either way it ends the same.
Hard to beat the living game.
Might as well enjoy it while you lose.

When I need a drink I start to shiver
And Jimmy always viewed it with concern.
But I'd rather have cirrhosis of the liver
Than an intellect that's second to a fern.

I wonder if old Jimmy's gonna hear it
When I tell him that his logic wasn't sound.
They'll dose him up on lots of evil spirits
When they take him to the psychiatric grounds.

Yes, me, I've got a bottle in front of me,
And Jimmy has a frontal lobotomy.
Just different ways to kill the pain the same.

But I'd rather have a bottle in front of me,
Than have to have a frontal lobotomy.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane.
I might be drunk, but at least I'm not insane!

[CapitanGarlic]

Sadly, a song which truly represents me.

by the indomitable Cat Stevens, it's Another Saturday Night

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way

I got in town a month ago
I seen a lot of girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
But as yet I haven't met 'em
That's how I'm in the state I'm in

Oh,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way


Another fella told me
He had a sister who looked just fine
Instead of bein' my deliv'rance
She had a strange resemblance
To a cat named Frankenstein

Ooh, la,
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way


It's hard on a fella
When he don't know his way around
If I don't find me a honey
To help me spend my money
I'm gonna have to blow this town

Oh, no
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
