Give us a Song! (lyrics thread)

...so...i've never been an indigo girls fan....but my husband is and we've been playing the that's mine, this is yours game with the cds tonight and i decided i needed to rip a bunch of the stuff he was taking....so i listened to his indigo boxset...yes, they actually let a man buy it....anyway, i came across this song and....wow....it's pretty cool....not that i'm gonna buy a pair of berkenstocks and denim shirts...but it's a cool song...

land of canaan ~ the indigo girls

You can go to the east to find your
Your inner hemisphere
You say we’re under the same sky babe
Your bound to realize honey it’s not that clear
I’m not your promised land oh no
I’m not your promised one
I’m not the land of canaan sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun

I’m lonely tonight
I’m missing you now
I’m wanting your love
And you’re giving it out
I’m lonely tonight
I’m lonely tonight
I’m lonely tonight

Well, the meanings changed
For what it’s worth
It’s just a senseless game
Well I should think of love
But it’s fear every time I hear
Honey your heartbeat strain
It’s not the fallen man
It’s not the call of time
It’s just the london skyline sweetheart
Telling me you’re not mine

I’m lonely tonight
I’m missing you now
I’m wanting your love
And you’re giving it out
I’m lonely tonight
I’m lonely tonight
I’m lonely tonight

My blood is running dry
My skin is, my skin is growing thin
For every time you find yourself
You loose a little bit of me honey from within
It’s just a raging cycle
Why can’t we bring it all to the end of the line
From inside this existence, sweetheart
Time is not on my side

I’m lonely tonight
I’m missing you now
I’m wanting your love
And you’re giving it out
I’m lonely tonight
I’m lonely tonight
I’m lonely tonight

I’m not your promised land
(I’m lonely tonight)
I’m not your promised one
(honey I’m trying to tell you that I’m lonely tonight)
I’m not your promised land
I’m not your promised one
I’m not the land of canaan
(I’m lonely tonight)
I’m not your land of canaan
(I’m lonely tonight)
I’m not the land of canaan sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
I’m lonely tonight
 
I don't think I've posted this before - but if I have, just shoot me (please do). :mope:
It is just appropriate right now considering the situation, plus my depressive and surly state, even if this separation is for the best....

Air Supply - Goodbye

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life

(Chorus)
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

(Chorus)
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye
 
Okay, this one sounds pretty darn good when I've been drinking (which I am). :)

I almost hate to admit it, but I can't stop listening to this song over and over by that silly Disney girl - Love Just Is (Hilary Duff)


When the night won't fall and the sun wont rise
And you see the best as you close your eyes
When you reach the top as you bottom out
But you understand what it's all about

Nothing's ever what it seems
In your life or in your dreams
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin' sense of you

[CHORUS:]
Love just is... whatever it may be
Love just is... you and me
Nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for... love just is

When you ask to stay and disappear
It seems you're gone but you're really here
When every move seems out of place
But every kiss is filled with grace

Some things never get defined
In your heart or in your mind
It don't make sense, what can you do
So I won't try makin sense of you

[CHORUS]

Don't ever ask me for reasons
I can't get to you
Don't ever ask me for reasons
Why I live for you... I just do

[Repeat second stanza]

[CHORUS]
 
I dont know who does it but this is the song This Magic Moment

This magic moment
So different and so new
Was like any other
Until I kissed you
And then it happened
It took me by suprise
I knew you felt it too
By the look in your eyes
Sweeter than wine
Softer thana summer night
Everything I want to have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic momeny
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever until the end of time
Woah oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Sweeter than wine
Softer than a summer night
Everything I wanna have
Whenever I hold you tight
This magic moment
While your lips are close to mine
Will last forever
Forever until the end of time
Woah oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh magic moment
Woah oh oh oh
 
and Jerry Lee Lewis
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
Oh but what a thrill
Goodness gracious
Great balls of fire
I laughed cause I thought it was funny
But you came along and moved me honey
I've changed my mind
This love is fine
Goodness gracious
Great balls of fire
Kiss me baby wooo it feels good
Hold me baby I want to love you like a lover should
You're fine
So kind
I want to tell the world that your mine mine mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I'm real nervous but sure is fun
Come on baby drive me crazy
Goodness gracious
Great balls of fire
 
and Im sure everyone will recognise this one


We're Knights of the Round Table,
We dance when ere we're able,
We do routines and chorus scenes
With footwork impeccable.
We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spam a lot.
We're Knights of the Round Table,
Our show are formidable,
But many times, we're given rhymes
That are quite unsingable.
We're Opera mad in Camelot,
We sing from the diaphragm
a looooooot.
In war we're tough and able,
Quite indefatigable,
Between our quests we sequin vests,
And impersonate Clark Gable.
It's a busy life in Camelot,
I have to push the pram a lot.
 
Took out the parents' old vinyls last night, there's something very nostalgic about the scratched, dusty records that gets to me every time. And listening to the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Deep Purple and the likes just seem oh so much better on vinyl......to me anyway (go ahead, call me crazy.

This is one of the first songs I ever really LISTENED to - not just the music, but the lyrics....I guess at 10 I was really too young to fully appreciate what he was trying to say, but it has stayed with me over the years and the meaning of the song has cemented itself in my mind, so I figured I'd share.

I don't Believe In If Anymore - Roger Whittaker

Now if you load your rifle right
And if you fix your bayonet so
And if you kill that man, my friend,
The one we call the foe,
And if you do it often, lad,
And if you do it right
You'll be a hero overnight
You'll save your country from her plight
Remember God is always right
If you survive to see the sight
A friend now greeting foe...

No you won't believe in If anymore
If's an illusion
If's an illusion
No you won't believe in If anymore
If is for children
If is for children
Building daydreams

If I knew then what I know now
(I thought I did you know somehow)
If I could have the time again
I'd take the sunshine leave the rain
If only time would trickle slow
Like rain that melts the fallen snow
If only Lord if only
If only Lord if only

Oh I don't believe in If anymore
If's an illusion
If's an illusion
No I don't believe in If anymore
If is for children
If is for children
Building daydreams

No I don't believe in If anymore
If's an illusion
If's an illusion
No I don't believe in If anymore
If is for children
If is for children
Building daydreams
 
Lenny Kravitz - Again
(Love this song!) :worship:
I've been searching for you
I heard a cry within my soul
I've never had a yearning quite like this before
Know that you are walking right through my door

All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

A sacred gift of heaven
For better worse, wherever
And I would never let somebody break you down
Until you cried, never

All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

At every time I've always known
That you where there, upon your throne
A lonely queen without her king
I longed for you, my love forever

All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

All of my life
Where have you been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
And if that day comes
I know we could win
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again
I wonder if I'll ever see you again

A Perfect Circle

"Weak and Powerless"

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you

Pale angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear of what you say
Promised I would find a little solace
And some piece of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless
over you
 
King Missile - "Detachable Penis"

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time.
It's detachable.

[background singing begins: "detachable penis" over and over]

This comes in handy a lot of the time.
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,
and the next morning I can't for the life of me
remember what I did with it.

First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was,
they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.

I called a few people who were at the party,
but they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.
I really don't like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man,
and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.

After a few hours of searching the house,
and calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.

Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place,
where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket
next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.

I took it home, washed it off,
and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,
but I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable penis.

[background voices continue to sing "detachable penis" for
a while, then out]
 
This is one of my favorite love songs. Patti Smith and Ivan Kral wrote it and you can find it on her album Wave (1979).

Dancing Barefoot

she is benediction
she is addicted to thee
she is the root connection
she is connecting with he

here I go and I don't know why
I fell so ceaselessly
could it be he's taking over me...

I'm dancing barefoot
heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in
makes me come on like some heroin/e

she is sublimation
she is the essence of thee
she is concentrating on
he, who is chosen by she

here I go and I don't know why
I spin so ceaselessly,
could it be he's taking over me...

[chorus]

she is re-creation
she, intoxicated by thee
she has the slow sensation that
he is levitating with she ...

here I go and I don't know why,
I spin so ceaselessly,
'til I lose my sense of gravity...

[chorus]

(oh god I fell for you ...)

the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face
the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself
grave visitations
what is it that calls to us?
why must we pray screaming?
why must not death be redefined?
we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms
and whirl on a pane of glass
an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree
the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women.

(oh god I fell for you ...)
 
Suicide is painless Lyrics

Through Early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see

(chorus)
That Suicide is Painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

Try to find a way to make
All our little joys relate
Without that ever present hate
But now I know that it's too late
And (chorus)

The game of life is hard to play
I'm going to lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
That (chorus)

The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I'm beat
And to another give a seat
For that's the only painless feat
'Cause (chorus)

The sword of time will pierce our skins
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works it's way on in
The pain grow stronger watch it grin
For (chorus)

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
Is it to be or not to be
And I replied "Oh why ask me."
Cause (chorus)
And you can do the same thing if you please
Click to expand...

It may be posted before, but I have it stuck in my head now, after talking about mash
 
Richard Ashcroft - I get my Beat

I get my beat with you
When we see things through
And I think about you all the time

Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know

I need to hear the truth
From the soul of you
Chase the moments we can share

Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know

They got time
They got life
Take and take your time

I got to hear the sound of the morning song
As the light plays with your head
I'm blowing smoke and
I'll feel so damn fine
I know you care

Who the winners in the game were playing
I don't even think they know
Who the losers and how much their paying
I don't even think they know

They got time
They got life

Gonna take a little of my time
its a beautiful thing..yeah
no one is rushing this life
its a beautiful thing(weve got a richous thing something no dollar can buy)

one life one life one life

They got time
They got life
Take your time
 
NGE - Tumbling Down

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Tumbling Down

I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
The ones you love mean more than anything

So, with sadness in my heart
Feel the best thing that I could do
Is end it all and leave forever
What's done is done it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time
Cos now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without
The trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing
It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down

In my heart of hearts
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything, everything
Everything that matters to me
Matters in this world

I wish that I could turn back time
Cos now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing
I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down​

I love this song.
