A Song For You. (Lyrics Thread)

[devilmunchkin]

Blame by KoRn

So I think you are a fool
Hanging on my every word
It's getting ugly
So I'm ugly

Tear me from your heart
Tearing me apart

So I thought you'd disapear
Being alone is what you fear
Are you lonely?
Yes lonely

Tear me from your heart
Tearing me apart

Rolling, and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that **** that's who you are
Holding, and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are

The time is coming
gone insane
You're really happy
Won the game
The time is coming
A bed of flames
Your life is over and you're to blame
The time is coming
You've gone insane
You're feeling happy
You've won the game
The time is coming
A bed of flames
Your life is over and you're to blame

Rolling, and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that **** that's who you are
Holding, and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are

[August Borms]

Ik Hou Van U (Noordkaap)

Refrein:
We waren bijna echt vergeten
Hoe schoon de zomer wel kan zijn
Zonder zorgen en zonder regen
Hoe schoon de zomer hier kan zijn

We waren uit het oog verloren
Hoe warm een weiland wel kan zijn
Open de vensters en open de ogen
En zie hoe schoon de zomers zijn

Ik hou van u, ik hou van u, ik hou van u
Ik hou van u, ik hou van u, ik hou van u
Geef me een kus, geef me een kus
Geef me een kus en vlug voor de laatste bus

Refrein

Ik hou van u, ik hou van u, ik hou van u
Ja, ik hou van u, ik hou van u, ik hou van u
Ik hou van u, ik hou van u, ik hou van u
Ja, ik hou van u, ja, ik hou van u, ik hou van u

Geef me een kus, geef me een kus
Geef me een kus en vlug voor de laatste bus
Geef me een kus, geef me een kus
Geef me een kus en vlug voor de laatste bus

Ik hou van u, ik hou van u, ik hou van u
Oh, ik hou van u, ik hou van u, ik hou van u
Lalala …
Geef me een kus

WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKEN-HEARTED
JIMMY RUFFIN

As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Cold and alone
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin to where
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what's become of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere

Maryland - Vonda Shepard

I've been thinking
I've been thinking
I've been thinking too much.
I just want to live now for a little while.
And cast my dreams to the wind
Don't wanna wonder
don't wanna wonder what it's all about
I'm just working for a living singing with my friends
As I cast my dreams to the wind

Maryland I'm coming home
Never worry about what I did wrong.
And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be
and I'll never see what my mama's dreams were
But I will sing

I wanna fly
I wanna fly down the highway to my home away from home.
This funky funky club on Fairfax Avenue to see you.
I'll never give up
Because what is there to give up anyway?
I'm just working for a living working for my pay
In Maryland it's raining somewhere in some cafe.

Maryland I'm coming home
Never worry about what I did wrong.
And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be
and I'll never see what my mama's dreams were
But I will sing

[SlowwHand]

Triple Shot Thursday; John Cafferty

Runnin' Through The Fire


I got smokestack lightning
Runnin’ right thru my veins
Trouble hangin’ round my neck
Like a ball & chain

Gotta be more than this to
Being alive
Everyday just spittin’ out nine to five
Every night runnin’ all over this town
Comin’ home feelin’ no pain

I got a hunger and cold desire
Someday it’s gonna take me
higher
just another small flame
runnin’ thru the fire
just another small flame
runnin’ thru the fire

runnin thru the fire….it’s
gonna get hot
runnin’ thru the fire…ready
or not
runnin’ thru the fire…any
way your turn
runnin’ thru the fire….your
gonna get burned

I’m rollin’ down the alleyway
Headin’ for the neon lights
I got a soul full of stuggle
And I need a little mercy
Tonight

This world’s asking just a little
Too much
Honey I need a lovin’ tender touch
Just move your body close to mine
Make everything alright
I got a hunger and cold desire
Someday it’s gonna take me higher
Just another small flame
runnin’ thru the fire
just another small flame
runnin’ thru the fire


runnin thru the fire….it’s
gonna get hot
runnin’ thru the fire…ready
or not
runnin’ thru the fire…any
way your turn
runnin’ thru the fire….your
gonna get burned

(solo) X2

runnin thru the fire….it’s
gonna get hot
runnin’ thru the fire…ready
or not
runnin’ thru the fire…any
way your turn
runnin’ thru the fire….your
gonna get burned

Tender Years

When the moon hung soft and low,
Catchin' stardust in the light
You held me closer and closer
There was magic in the night

A sweet love song, a melody
that I still can recall
Two young hearts filled with dreams
To walk away with it all

Whoa, whoa tender years
Won't you wash away my tears
How I wish you were here
Please don't go, tender years

A summer love, a beach romance
Sought her kisses in the sand
Two young hearts filled with fire
Lost in never-neverland.

Whoa, whoa tender years
Won't you wash away my tears
How I wish you were here
Please don't go, tender years
---------------------------------------------------------------

On The Dark Side

The dark side's callin' now, nothin' is real
She'll never know just how I feel
From out of the shadows she walks like a dream
Makes me feel crazy, makes me feel so mean

Ain't nothin' gonna save you from a love that's blind
When you slip to the dark side you cross that line
On the dark side, oh yeah
On the dark side, oh yeah

Repeat

[SlowwHand]

Timeless
Herbie Hancock


[Chorus: Guru]
This is history right here in the makin
So call this timeless
And we're bound to keep your mind elevatin
So this here is timeless
This is pure original innovation
So call this timeless
This is somethin to give you inspiration
So this here is timeless

[Guru]
Timeless, priceless, survive any crisis
Born to carry on, now we on just like this
It's quite crisp, the way the tune hits your stereo
These two brothers right here gettin props, everywhere we go
More potent than any herbal essence
Ill grooves verbal lessons
Dominant, prominant, eternal blessings
Never underestimate the weight of the force
It's actual, classical, natural resource
Plus we manage to tear down and damage
any walls they try to place around us on this planet
I never slack I never lack cause I'm your highness
And this type of thing right here kid is timeless

[Chorus]

[Guru]
Just caught the fresh-cut baldie, my peoples call me
Guru, the man, yes the one with all the
J-A-Z-Z, Y type essence
Deep type lessons, the sun moon crescent
Divine perspective, of the life we live
Our time is collective, of this music we give
Through the errors of our colorful struggle
comes the strength of a people so powerful, so thorough
Enough to be diamond-like, despite dirty conditions
Check how we put it down, respect this worth rendition
Never before, have you felt such energy
The flyest combo, so feel our chemistry

[Chorus]

[Guru]
Feast your eyes as I uniquely surmise
+Jazzmatazz+ represents real deep ties
Traditional, almost ritual is my lyrical
Soon your spirit will become more concious when you hear it you'll
give it up for our +Streetsoul+
We reach y'all, we're addin on just like a sequel
Been down and up, so I'm roundin up
mad troops new recruits O.G.'s and up
Me and my right hand man Mr. Hancock make landmarks
In foreign terrortories true warriors, stand tough
Two livin legends with the gifts of seven
Grab your glass as we pour one more sip of heaven

[Chorus]

The Carpenters - Rainy Days and Mondays

Talkin' to myself and feelin' old
Sometimes I'd like to quit
Nothin' ever seems to fit
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

What I've got they used to call the blues
Nothin' is really wrong
Feelin' like I don't belong
Walkin' around
Some kind of lonely clown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you
Nice to know somebody loves me
Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do
Run and find the one who loves me (the one who loves me)

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Funny, but it seems that it's the only thing to do (only thing to do)
Run and find the one who loves me

What I feel has come and gone before
No need to talk it out
We know what it's all about
Hangin' around
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down
Hangin' around (hangin' around)
Nothin' to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get...
Me down

Paul Elstak - Love You More

you can make the sun turn purple
you can make the seeds unfertile
but you know you could never make me love you more

you can turn wine into water
and sadness into laughter
but you know you could never make me love you more

let the suns fall down
let the leaves turn brown
so you know you could never make me love you more

let the rainwood die
let the wells run dry
so you know you could never make me love you more

It's My Birthday by The Vandals
It's my brithday and I'll do what I want to
F*ck you it's my birthday

Happy Birthday to me
Happy happy birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me!

Happy birthday devilmunchkin!

Stevie Wonder - Happy Birthday

You know it doesn't make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Anyone who takes offense
At a day in your celebration
'Cause we all know in our minds
That there ought to be a time
That we can set aside
To show just how much we love you
And I'm sure you will agree
It couldn't fit more perfectly
Than to have a world party on the day you came to be

Chorus
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
(Repeat)

I just never understood
How a man who died for good
Could not have a day that would
Be set aside for his recognition
Because it should never be
Just because some cannot see
The dream as clear as he
That they should make it become an illusion
And we all know everything
That he stood for time will bring
For in peace our hearts will sing
Thanks to Martin Luther King

Chorus
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
(Repeat)

Bridge
Why has there never been a holiday
Where peace is celebrated
all throughout the world

The time is overdue
For people like me and you
You know the way to truth
Is love and unity to all God's children
It should be a great event
And the whole day should be spent
In full remembrance
Of those who lived and died for the oneness of
all people
So let us all begin
We know that love can win
Let it out don't hold it in
Sing it loud as you can

Chorus
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
(4x)

(BackgroundStevie)
Happy birthdayOoh yeah
Happy birthday,
To you

We know the key to unity of all
People
Is in the dream that you had so
Long ago
That lives in all of the hearts
Of people
That believe in unity
We'll make the dream become
A reality
I know we will
Because our hearts tell us so

Texas - Put Your Arms Around Me

Are you ready maybe I know where to run
Are you ready to let yourself drown
Are you holding your breath
Are you ready or not
Are you ready maybe too long to confess
Do you feel that you're already numb
Are you sure of yourself
Would you lie if you're not

You tire me out
Don't wanna let that happen
A secret scream so loud
Why did you let that happen

Ooh-ooh, so put your arms around me
You let me believe that you were someone else
Ooh-ooh, cause only time can take you
So let me believe
That I’m someone else

Are you ready, maybe, are you ready to break
Do you think that I push you too far
Would you open yourself
Are you reckless some nights

You tire me out
Don't wanna let that happen
A secret scream so loud
Why did you let that happen

Ooh-ooh, so put your arms around me
You let me believe that you were someone else
Ooh-ooh, cause only time can take you
So let me believe
That I’m someone else

You tire me out
Don't wanna let that happen
A secret scream so loud
Why did you let that happen

Ooh-ooh, so put your arms around me
You let me believe that you were someone else
Ooh-ooh, cause only time can take you
So let me believe
That I’m someone else

Lonesome Dove
Garth Brooks


She was a girl on a wagon train
Haded west across the plains
The train got lost in a summer storm
They couldn't move west and they couldn't go home
Then she saw him ridin' through the rain
He took charge of the wagons and he saved the train
And she looked down and her heart was gone
The train went west but she stayed on
In Lonesome Dove

A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand
A blooming rose in a bed of sand
She loved the man who wore a star
A Texas Ranger known near and far
So they got married and they had a child
But times were touch and the West was wild
So it was no surprise the day she learned
That her Texas man would not return
To Lonesome Dove

Back to back with the Rio Grande
A Christian woman in the devil's land
She learned the language and she learned to fight
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove

She watched her boy grow into a man
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand
He wore his star for all to see
He was a Texas lawman legacy
The one day word blew into town
It seemed the men that shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico
The only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonesome Dove

The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street
The men lay at the ranger's feet
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway
Though no one knows who held the gun
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
In Lonesome Dove

Back to back with the Rio Grande
A Christian woman in the devil's land
She learned the language and she learned to fight
But she never learned how to beat the lonely nights
In Lonesome Dove, Lonesome Dove

OMD - Enola Gay

Enola Gay
You should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can't describe
The feeling and the way you lied

These games you play
They're gonna end it more than tears someday
Aha Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way

It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away

Enola Gay
It shouldn't ever have to end this way
Aha Enola Gay
It shouldn't fade in our dreams away

It's 8:15
And that's the time that it's always been
We got your message on the radio
Conditions normal and you're coming home

Enola Gay
Is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give
It's never ever gonna fade away...

[Mr. President]

I just bought a CD of traditional Irish music. I'd forgotten how much I liked it.

Molly Malone
Traditional

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eye on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive alive-o!"

Chorus:
Alive, alive-o,
Alive, alive-o,
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive alive-o!"

She was a fishmonger, but sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her mother and father before.
And they both wheeled their barrow through streets broad and narrow,
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive alive-o!"

Chorus

She died of a fever, and no-one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
But her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive alive-o!"

Chorus

Fiddler's Green

As I roved by the dockside on evening so rare
To view the still waters and take the salt air
I heard an old fisherman singing this song
O take me away boys my time is not long

Dress me up in me oilskin and jumper
No more on the docks I'll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates
I'm taking a trip, mates
And I'll see them someday in Fiddler's Green

Now Fiddler's Green is a place I've heard tell
Where fishermen go when they don't go to Hell
Where the weather is fair and the dolphins do play
And the cold coast of Greenland is far, far away

The sky's always clear and there's never a gale
And the fish jump on board with a flip of their tail
You can lie at your leisure, there's no work to do
And the skipper's below making tea for the crew

And when you're in dock and the long trip is thru
There's pubs and there's clubs, and there's lassies there too
Now the girls are all pretty and the beer is all free
And there's bottles of rum hanging from every tree

I don't want a harp or a halo, not me
Just give me a breeze and a good rolling sea
And I'll play me old squeeze box as we sail along
When the wind's in the rigging to sing me this song

[SlowwHand]

What may seem an odd choice for Mother's Day.

Motherless Children
Eric Clapton


Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
Motherless children have a hard time when mother is dead, lord.
They don't have anywhere to go;
Wandering around from door to door.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.

Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can when your mother is dead, lord.
Father will do the best he can;
So many things a father can't understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead, lord.

Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can when your mother is dead, lord.
Sister will do the best she can;
So many things a sister can't understand.
Nobody treats you like a mother will when your mother is dead.

When your mother is dead, when your mother is dead.
When your mother is dead, Lord, when your mother is dead.

Drunken Hearted Boy
The Allman Brothers Band


Well, yes, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
Well, yeah, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
I have a whole ocean of trouble,
And just a little, half pint of joy.

I drink because I'm worried, I don't drink because I'm dry.
I know if I keep on drinkin, I'm liable to drink away my life.
But that's alright.

Baby, bring me another half-a-pint,
I'm trying to drown these blues, yes I am.
People if you had my trouble,
Baby, I know you'd be drinkin too.

Alright.
Baby, bring me some Old Grandad's 100 proof.
Don't play like that man, you'll make me thirsty.
Oh, Lord.

Baby, if I keep on drinkin, I know I can't last too long.
Woman, if I keep on drinkin, people ya know I can't last too long.
That's alright, cause when I'm dead and buried,
Please think about me when you hear this song.
