Great All-Time "Clashing Libidos" Lyrics

[csw]

Okay Okay, I'm guilty of another loose fitting song, but it works for me..... and the ARE lyrics, after all.....

Instant Karma
John Lennon


Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

For us, it was always Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska," but past performance doesn't necessarily guarantee future results.

Choc.

.

Warm springtime Saturdays
Spent sweating in the sun
Sweet afternoon romance
Newlywed fun

The Boss is singin’ Nebraska
Thunder’s clapping outside
Dark clouds are rolling in
But we’re happy inside

That’s how it used to be
Oh, it used to be
So young and so innocent
So wild and so free
Didn’t have half as much
As we’re trapped by right now
But somehow I think that we were rich
And I’m wondering how
I can get back,
Gotta get back
To where we used to be.

[cinemanymph]

I wanted to wax philisophical on this passage:

And I’m wondering how
I can get back,
Gotta get back
To where we used to be.

if I may.

choc., you have warm memories of the past, because you had great feelings. Those feelings were and still are a part of you. If you attribute that great being in love feeling to someone else, you give someone else the power to take it away. If you seek to love yourself, it is through self love that you get all the wonderful feelings that you thought were a gift from someone else. I know when we say that someone is in love with themselves that we mean concieted and narcisistic (sp?), but I am referring to a state of mind where a person is unafraid, open and able to relate unconditionally.

Cine, you make it sound so easy... I suppose I should read more UL... I just haven't had the mental clarity to read lately.

[cinemanymph]

One thing at a time, c, take it easy on yourself.

[chocolateeyes]

'nymph,

That makes sense, but it very hard to do, I suppose. I guess that's what all this "fusion" fuss is about as well?

The challenge I have is that while my feelings for my W have certainly grown WAAAAYYYY beyond the initial, giddy "infatuation" stage into something much more meaningful, the ROMANTIC parts of those old feelings are still there. Whereas with W, they seem to have faded. I've always been more romantic than she, but now it's a CHASM of difference.

Choc.

I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, and swore we'd never part
Then little by little we drifted from each other's heart

At first I thought it was just restlessness
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
In the end it was something more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep

-- "Stolen Car," Bruce Springsteen

Annie's Song
John Denver

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

[cinemanymph]

csw,
John Denver makes me think of a time when things were so much simpler.

[csw]

Cine, I agree. His music always reminds me of when I was a little kid and my mom played his records.

I printed out those lyrics and gave them to W the day after she dropped the bomb in NOV. I just chucked them in the recycling bin yesterday. She left them laying around like the poem I wrote for her. Pity she doesn't respond to talent


Squirrel nut Zippers
If you were mine.

If you were mine
Id be a ruler of kings
And if you were mine,
Oh I could do such wonderful things
Id sing to the stars
Stop where you are
Light up my lover's way
And every star above you, obey
If you were mine
Id live for your love alone
To kneel at your shrine
Oh, I would give all that I own
Even my heart, even my life
Well, I turn it all to you
Think I was lucky too, if you were mine
If you were mine
Id live for your love alone
To kneel at your shrine
Oh, I would give all that I own
Even my heart, even my life
Well, I turn it all to you
Think I was lucky too, if you were mine

Songs that fit our situation vary with my mood. When I miss him, Dido's White Flag. When I am depressed, Evanescence with My Immortal.
But almost every single song by Alanis Morrisette expresses something that I am feeling...

Today, I like Are you Still Mad

are you still mad i kicked you out of bed?
are you still mad i gave you ultimatums?
are you still mad i compared you to all
my forty year old male friends?
are you still mad i shared our problems
with everybody?

are you still mad i had a an emotional affair?
are you still mad i tried to mold you into
who i wanted you to be?
are you still mad I didn't trust your intentions?
of course you are
of course you are

are you still mad that i flirted wildly?
are you still mad I had a tendency to mother you?
are you still mad that i had one foot out the door?
are you still mad that we slept together even after
we had ended it?
of course you are
of course you are

are you still mad i wore the pants most of the time?
are you still mad that i seemed to focus
only on your potential?
are you still mad that i threw in the towel?
are you still mad that i gave up long before you did?
of course you are
of course you are
