All those soaring lyrics courtesy of Kevin Cronin.......ah fodder for erotic fretboard work.
I don't mind the sun sometime
The images it shows
I can taste you on my lips
And smell you in my clothes
Cinnamon and Sugar
And softly spoken lies
You never know just how you look
Through someone elses eyes
BHS-"Pepper"
Heard this song yesterday and now it's stuck in my head...reminds me of SSM:
U2---ONE
Is it getting better or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you You got someone to blame? You say...
One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby If you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you? Leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love You want me to go without Well it's...
Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One...
Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same Well we hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love is a higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt
I forgot about this thread but it reminded me of something.
I usually listen to music from the computer, and make play list that will play songs I have grouped together. My S4 tends to like the music that I listen to so I made a disk from one of my play list so we can listen in the car. S4 is very good at listening to the lyrics and asking what the singer is talking about (Ms HDsocal seldom notices the lyrics). My most recent play list included;
Ever Fallen in love with someone (you should have fallen in love with) from the Buzzcocks If I Cant Change Your Mind From Sugar Galaxy 500 from Rev. Horton Heat Gone Baby Gone from the Violent Femmes Love Will Tear Us Apart Again from Joy Division Mother of Pearl from Roxy Music
All great songs, but as we were listening to them, S4 would ask from the back seat, whats this song about or ask questions about particular lyrics, funny thing, damn near same answer to every song, boy meets girl - falls in love - doesn't work out - either gets pissed or waits pathetically.
Either;
a) just a common theme in music b) you pick themes you can relate to c) I am a victim of 'rock & roll'
Thought I'd revisit this thread, and change it a little to a "lyrics that fit our sitch", as I was reminded by two great Springsteen songs this morning (ok, so I happen to think EVERY situation in life can be summarized in a great Springsteen lyric, but bear with me here...)
Let me know what you think, and feel free to add your own.
Choc.
BADLANDS
Lights out tonight trouble in the heartland Got a head-on collision smashin' in my guts, man I'm caught in a cross fire that I don't understand But there's one thing I know for sure girl I don't give a damn For the same old played out scenes I don't give a damn For just the in betweens Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul I want control right now talk about a dream Try to make it real you wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come Well, don't waste your time waiting
(Chorus) Badlands, you gotta live it everyday Let the broken hearts stand As the price you've gotta pay We'll keep pushin' till it's understood and these badlands start treating us good
Workin' in the fields till you get your back burned Workin' `neath the wheel till you get your facts learned Baby I got my facts learned real good right now You better get it straight darling Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king And a king ain't satisfied till he rules everything I wanna go out tonight, I wanna find out what I got Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the love that you gave me I believe in the faith that could save me I believe in the hope and I pray that some day It may raise me above these
(Chorus)
mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
(Chorus)
BECAUSE THE NIGHT
Take me now baby here as I am Pull me close try an understand I work all day out in the hot sun Stay with me now till the mornin' comes Come on now try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hands Take me now as the sun descends They can't hurt you now They can't hurt you now They can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us Because the night belongs to lovers Because the night belongs to us
What I got I have earned What I'm not I have learned Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe Just stay in my bed till the morning comes Come on now try and understand The way I feel when I'm in your hands Take me now as the sun descends They can't hurt you now They can't hurt you now They can't hurt you now
Because the night...
Your love is here and now The vicious circle turns and burns without Though I cannot live forgive me now The time has come to take this moment and They can't hurt you now
