aqbadger Posted 28 January, 2012 Share Posted 28 January, 2012 If you are a musician like myself, you think about lyrics in songs and what they mean. So... what is your favourite or what means most to you? Mine is either 'I could deny, but i'll never realise. I'm just chasing rainbows, all the time' or 'It’s easy living in a bubble, no complication or trouble. But it’s hard to have responsibility. And judging by you, a personality' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satiurday Girls work in Tesco and Woolworths Wear cheap perfume cos it's all the can afford. Saturdays kids live in council houses, Wear v-necked shirts and baggy trousers, Drive Cortinas fur trimmed dash boards, Stains on the seats - in the back of course!

Get out of the way, quick. I think I'm turning Japanese. And so it's my assumption I'm really up the junction. I got a job with Stanley He said I'd come in handy He started me on Monday So I had a bath on Sunday I worked eleven hours and bought the girl some flowers.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 28 January, 2012 Share Posted 28 January, 2012 Kris Kristofferson Sunday Morning Coming Down Well I woke up Sunday morning, With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt. And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, So I had one more for dessert. Then I fumbled through my closet for my clothes, And found my cleanest dirty shirt. An' I shaved my face and combed my hair, An' stumbled down the stairs to meet the day. I'd smoked my brain the night before, On cigarettes and songs I'd been pickin'. But I lit my first and watched a small kid, Cussin' at a can that he was kicking. Then I crossed the empty street, 'n caught the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken. And it took me back to somethin', That I'd lost somehow, somewhere along the way. On the Sunday morning sidewalk, Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cos there's something in a Sunday, Makes a body feel alone. And there's nothin' short of dyin', Half as lonesome as the sound, On the sleepin' city sidewalks: Sunday mornin' comin' down. In the park I saw a daddy, With a laughin' little girl who he was swingin'. And I stopped beside a Sunday school, And listened to the song they were singin'. Then I headed back for home, And somewhere far away a lonely bell was ringin'. And it echoed through the canyons, Like the disappearing dreams of yesterday. On the Sunday morning sidewalk, Wishing, Lord, that I was stoned. 'Cos there's something in a Sunday, Makes a body feel alone. And there's nothin' short of dyin', Half as lonesome as the sound, On the sleepin' city sidewalks: Sunday mornin' comin' down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsdinho Posted 28 January, 2012 Share Posted 28 January, 2012 Perhaps the greatest love song ever written, "Gorecki" by Lamb If I should die this very moment I wouldn't fear for I've never known completeness like being here wrapped in the warmth of you loving every breath of you still my heart this moment oh it might burst could we stay right here till the end of time until the earth stops turning wanna love you until the seas run dry I've found the one I've waited for all this time I've loved you and never known your face all this time I've missed you and searched this human race here is true peace here my heart knows calm safe in your soul bathed in your sighs wanna stay right here till the end of time till the earth stops turning gonna love you until the seas run dry I've found the one I've waited for the one I've waited for all I've known all I've done all I've felt was leading to this all I've known all I've done all I've felt was leading to this wanna stay right here till the end of time till the earth stops turning gonna love you till the seas run dry I've found the one I've waited for the one I've waited for the one I've waited for wanna stay right here till the end of time 'till the earth stops turning gonna love you till the seas run dry I've found the one I've waited for the one I've waited for the one I've waited for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dronskisaint Posted 28 January, 2012 Share Posted 28 January, 2012 'Living is easy with eyes closed...misunderstanding all you see' John Lennon Don't talk of love, But I've heard the words before; It's sleeping in my memory. I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died. If I never loved I never would have cried. I am a rock, Paul Simon I can't answer the questions you ask me, I don't know what to say. The answers are somewhere lost in the stars when the night has turned to day. But I know if the silence of night could be here, It would drift through my soul and calm all my fear And I could reach out and draw you so near to me Touch me and warm me and I will lie still. And all that you ask me to give you I will One living moment we'll have for our own. A brief flash of time that we spent all alone. But you ask me for nothing and give what you can And we're wrapped in a pillow of sleep once again And my memory drifts through the universe when we are one Closely we're falling through time And the earth will turn in the silence of space, always in motion yet always in place And all things will change yet remain what they are. And far will be near and near will be far And the ages will darken and blend into time And all that is poetry will no longer rhyme But our moment together is forever sublime For the time has arrived when we must understand That we're lost in a void on this sad speck of sand And nobody knows where we are, no one cares And the tears that we shed in the dark no one cares And the madmen who plunder this world for their fame Have forgotten that no one remembers their name But time and the universe are always the same Closely we're falling through time Don McLean Too many more...realised that before filling the thread...and before I even start on Leonard Cohen!
