Give us a Song! (lyrics thread)

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
Jitterbug into my brain (yeah, yeah)
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead.

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, yeah, baby)

(Jitterbug, Jitterbug)

Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead

(Jitterbug)

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
Wake me up before you go-go,
don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Take me dancing
(Boom-boom-boom ...)

Wham!
 
Who wants to taste my General Tso?
You want a piece of my General Tso?
I’m gonna give it to you now

Who like my chopsticks
Hit you in the shit with my littlest dick
Yellow
If you wanna see me, eat jello
I’ve never seen nothing like you before
I can kick you
Higher than you can kick me
I can kick you way up into a tree
Who wants a taste of my Oolong Tea?
Ho ha ho ha hoo chi chi
Everybody in the phonebook's named Chang
Wanna see my wang?
Never could go and hit the gong with a bang
Waaaah
Everybody wanna see me throw a fireball
But that’s not right
Not in real life
You will fall
Down and break your leg
Everybody wanna see me break an egg
Well I don’t
But I like fried rice
And I ain't got lice
Ching chow woo ching wang woo wice
That ain’t nice
Oh a fortune cookie
I always charge you twice
Delivery’s free
But not from me
I always charge a dollar fifty
55 Wanna see me go down?
Hit you with the line
Howwwwyyyyaaah
War when I hit you with the shit
Do a split, take a shit, after you eat my shit
Kungfu, Want my buffet?
You fucking gay
Ah, Wai-Lo hit you with the hay
Stay the fuck away, hit you in the balls
Only Americans eat duck sauce
And my soy sauce is for you
I can put it in your shoe
Watch this, I can tiptoe while you take a piss
In my bathroom, spy on you while your little boy shits
Hooowyaaaah
I can kick you if you don’t pay the bill
And if you want a little mint that’s fifty cents bitch
everything costs a little bit
So don’t expect nothin for free
At least from me
Ching chang choo wee
I got you from Taiwan City
And Hong Kong
I can smoke a bong
And I can do it all night long
And don’t mistake me for a Viet Cong
I can get you and tackle you, and take you out
Never see me when I get you and bake you
Rope you up
And put you in a bamboo cage
And make you feel all my rage
Poke you with a little stick till you
Page your buddies to come Napalm me
God damn that shit burn blew away my whole city
Ho-Chi-Minh, shoot a load on your chin
God damn that’s a sin goy-go goodbye
And if you want to come on in
You can work into my world
Where the yellow shit begin
Hoooyyyaaaah
Can’t be tamed
I got shit to control your brain and it's called
Egg fu yung, and lo mein
So come on in baby and have it just the same
Hooooyyyyaaahhh Haaaa

No wok ung tow dayday

Heh I dont suppose! Hahaha huh? huh....?

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you’ll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like ivan
Born under the brixton sun
His game is called survivin’
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the black maria
Goodbye to the brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of brixton

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin’
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you’ll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of brixton

The Clash
 
As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee
Oh I went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns

Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
To run the gantlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine

And now you ask that I should watch
The red man's race be slowly crushed
What kind of words are these to hear
From Yellow Dog whom white man fears

I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run

Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand
Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands
I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead
He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead

Now there seems no reason why I should carry on
In this land that once was my land I can't find a home
It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns

And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole

-Bernie Taupin-
 
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things I love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.

I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across Green River.
Welllllll!

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
Old Cody, Junior took me over,
Said, "You're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.
And if you get lost come on home to Green River."

Welllllll!
Come on home.

Green River - Credence Clearwater Revival
 
You'll Think of Me - Keith Urban

I woke up early this morning around 4am
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's OK
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot BETTER
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been

What we should have been
So...

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
But don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me

So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need 'em
Take your space and all your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me, yeah

And you're gonna think of me oh yeah
Oh someday baby, someday
 
My original song called
"Wish"

HERE WE LAY A FRIEND APART
NOW AND THEN FOR MY ART
BECAUSE WE SHARE THE INNER FEELINGS
NO ONE CAN SEE WHAT WE ARE SEEING
ECLIPES OF MY MIND TO BLOCK IT OUT
SHE SEES MY SUN COME ABOUT
BURNING FOR PASSION
AND THOUGHTS OF MY MIND
THE WISH FOR THE STARS
HOPING TO FIND
WHAT I SEE IN YOU
YOUR EYES WHEN THEY TWINKLE
AND WHEN YOU SMILE
YOUR NOSE IT HAS A WRINKLE

chours////////
I F WE WERE UNDERWATER
ON THE VERGE OF DEATH
I'D SHARE WITH YOU MY AIR
I'D GIVE YOU MY LAST BREATH

AS I SEE THE DAYS
AND SEE THE DAYS GO BY
FEELING SOMETHING GROOVEY
MAYBE LOST IN YOUR EYES
I THINK TO MESELF
OF ALL THE DAYS PAST
AND I ONLY WONDER
NO AND THEN MOVES VERY FAST

CHOURS/////
IF WE WERE IN THE DESERT
DYING OF THIRST
ONE DROP OF WATER LEFT
DARLING YOU GO FIRST

BRIDGE///////
tHERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD
I WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU
BUT BABY CAN YOU TELL ME
YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY TO

REAL LOVE IS A GIFT
AND NOT AN OBLIGATION
REAL LOVE ONLY WORKS
IF YOU SURRENDER TO THE PAIN
FEELING IT PUMPING THROUGH YOUR HEART
AND RUNNIN THROUGH YOUR VEINS
 
Bobby Darin---Mack The Knife

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there's never, never a trace of red

Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone's sneakin' ‘round the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?

There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag's just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky's back in town
Now d'ja hear ‘bout Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?


Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town

I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky's back in town.....

Look out, old Macky's back!!
 
Wine And Blood as recorded by Gov't Mule


Desiree's in disarray
Waiting for her angels to come
Where she used to feel the weight of a thousand lifetimes
Now she just feels numb
But there was a time when her beauty
Raised the eyebrows of the town
Any man would gladly give up all he had
Just to take Desiree down

She stares out the window
At the world passing by
She is caught beneath the wheel
Too heavy to lift - she feels too weak to try
People stare like strangers
Where once she might've asked them in
To fill the void where her heart once was
Now she just fills her glass again
And again

*chorus*
And she walks the floor less traveled
Thinks of a sad melody
Wine and blood don't mix like they used to
Now they just make a memory
Too many years trying to do the right thing for the wrong man
Now the picture is clear
She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past
'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears



All these half-truths and alibis
Help build a wall of denial
She takes comfort in the night - darkness blocks the light
From falling on her aging smile
Grey befalls her halo
Where there once was a golden mane
And her eyes don't shine like they used to
Without the moon, the sun would be in vain


So she walks the floor less traveled
Thinks of a sad melody
Wine and blood dont mix like they used to
Now they just make a memory
Too many years trying to the right thing for the wrong man
Now the picture is clear
She drinks and she cries and she hides from the past
'Cause the truth is more bitter than the tears




She puts on her make-up
Though no one's seen her for days
Her silence is a lonely cry
She's trapped inside a maze
Her tears have turned to honey,
Drawing the black flies of depression
Desiree's in disarray
Waiting for her angels again

Among the more vocally moving songs I know of...
 
Well he was Thailand based
She was an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
It was the easy life
But then it turned around
And he began to change
She didn't wonder then
She didn't think it strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
He didn't need to pack
They'd meet the next night
He had a job to do
Flying to Cambodia

And as the nights passed by
She tried to trace the past
The way he used to look
The way he used to laugh
I guess she'll never know
What got inside his soul
She couldn't make it out
Just couldn't take it all
He had the saddest eyes
The girl had ever seen
He used to cry some nights
As though he lived a dream
Ans as she held him close
He used to search her face
As though she knew the truth
Lost inside Cambodia

But then a call came through
They said he'd soon be home
She had to pack a case
And they would make a rendez-vous
But now a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - Don't cry now - No tears now

And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear

You're still the one I want to talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow

You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new

You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one who can scratch my itch
Still the one and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one...

STILL THE ONE (Orleans)
 
a boy and his frog - tom smith


Life is unfair, so they tell me,
Because they think I wouldn't know.
They only can see a cheap gimmick
On their children's favorite show.

They say, "Oh, that's just foam and a wire,
Attached to a green velvet sleeve,
Anyone can do that" -- well, that's true, I suppose,
But who else could make them believe?

What can I say without you there to guide me?
How else am I supposed to give?
How can I sing without you there beside me?
How else am I supposed to live?

You could never just do the expected,
I was just an idea in a bog,
But you sewed up your dream and we made quite a team,
Jim and Kermit, a boy and his frog.

It was me, Rolph, and you, but I think that he knew
There was something that you and I had.
The magic we made just kept growing,
And none of it ever was bad.

Then came Ernie and Scooter and Gonzo,
Doctor Teeth, Cookie Monster, and more.
But now all of those voices are silent,
And I want to go on... but what for?

No one can make me what you did,
No one could walk in your shoes,
Nothing can make me forget you,
But that's not a thing that I'd choose.

I can't just let it be over,
And you wouldn't want it that way,
So I'll stand up and I'll face it,
And, though not quite in your voice, I'll say:

I will go on without you there to guide me,
There's so much more I can give.
Whenever I sing, you will be there beside me,
As long as I keep you, you'll live.

We just wanted to make people happy,
I was always much more than your toy.
I will never regret and I'll never forget
What we had,
I'll miss you, Dad,
This frog and his boy.

why don't you dream anymore
what's in the way
how come you point to the door
and ask me to stay
why don't you flash that smile
like you used to do
why don't you stay for awhile
it's up to you
you are the girl
that keeps me up at night
you are the girl
that makes me feel allright
you are the girl
you give me a twirl
you are the girl
in my dreams
why don't we talk anymore
what did i say
how is it what i came for
is floating away

You Are The Girl - The Cars
 
There you stood, that'll teach ya
To look so good and feel so right
Let me tell you 'bout the I met last night
It's understood I had to reach ya
I let the wheel of fortune spin
I touched your hand before the crowd started crashin' in
Now I'm higher than a kite
I know I'm getting hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle of the street
And I, I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you, girl
I must be livin' in a fantasy world
I'm so high on you
Smart and coy, a little crazy
The kinda face that starts a fight
Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night
Piercin' eyes like a raven
You seemed to share my secret sin.
We were high before the night started kickin' in
Now I'm screamin' in the night
I know I'm getting hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle of the street
And I, I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you, girl
I must be livin' in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a heart so true
Such complete intoxication,
I'm high on you
There you stood, that'll teach ya
To look so good and feel so right
Let me tell you' bout the girl I met last night
Now I"m higher than a kite
I know I'm getting hooked on your love
Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
Beggin' for your touch in the middle of the street
And I, I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you, girl
I must be living in a fantasy world
I've searched the whole world over
To find a love so true
Such complete intoxication
I'm high on you
I'm high on you
I'm high on you


Survivor -
 
My name is Luka
I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble. some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was
Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore
You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
Well, if you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway
I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am
 
Folksingers Are Boring
(Andrew Calhoun)

Nobody comes to the coffeehouse,
Nobody comes to the coffeehouse,
Nobody comes to the coffeehouse,
Folksingers are boring.

Boring, boring, boring, so boring,
Nobody comes to the coffeehouse,
Folksingers are boring.

First they start some silly song,
Try to make you sing along,
Always drag it out too long:
Folksingers are boring.

First they sing about a train,
Then they sing another song about a train,
Then they sing a song about a train:
Folksingers are boring.

Folksingers have flabby buns,
They all play the same bass runs,
They're against the private ownership of handguns:
Folksingers are boring.

Folksingers are born to lose,
They wear old and ratty shoes,
Then they try to sing the blues:
Then they're really boring.

Give us salsa, give us soul,
Give us good old rock and roll,
Pass the bong and pass the bowl
Folksingers are boring.
