RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 04-29-2013 Kudos to Aussie and Crash per your Australian brothers, Little River Band. A late 70's/early 80's band, they've got many songs I like, including a snippet from this one: If there's one thing in my life that's missing, It's the time that I spend alone, Sailing on the cool and bright clear water. It's kind of a special feeling Out on the sea alone Staring at the full moon Like a lover. - Little River Band, taken from Cool Change RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - HairOfTheDog - 04-29-2013 (04-29-2013, 03:26 PM)Midwest Spy Wrote: Kudos to Aussie and Crash per your Australian brothers, Little River Band. That's gracious and makes a lot of sense, MS. I'm gonna try it. Mo: Thank you immensely for your fellow Germans, The Scorpions. Loving You Sunday Morning always turns me on. ESAD: Congratulations for the great music brought to us here in America by your fellow Englishmen. Bonus points for Led Zeppelin. FAHQTOO: Nice work, John Cougar-Mellencamp. sally: Jesus. The Miami Sound Machine. Well, it's not totally your fault. For Midwest Spy: Sweet blossom come on, under the willow We can have high times if you'll abide We can discover the wonders of nature Rolling in the rushes down by the riverside Sugar Magnolia - brought to you by: The Grateful Dead, username, HairOfTheDog, Adub, and everyone in the state of California.

Built like she was She had the nerve 2 ask me If I planned 2 do her any harm So, look here I put her on the back of my bike And-a we went riding Down by old man johnsons farm I said now, overcast days never turned me on But something about the clouds and her mixed She wasn't 2 bright But I could tell when she kissed me She knew how 2 get her kicks Prince, Raspberry Beret RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 04-30-2013 How could I forget that ^^^? Summer of '85, almost 19 years old and leaving for Europe. 'Raspberry Beret' was the last of Prince's songs that I really liked. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 04-30-2013 I'm going to claim a man named Tandyn Almer, too. Born in Minneapolis, he moved to So. Cal, and wrote this 1966 classic that was recorded by The Association: Duchess will appreciate the fact that's it's a joyous ode to smoking Mary Jane. Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely Someone calls on me And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse And curse those faults in me And then along comes Mary And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick And give me pick of memories Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations No one ever sees When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks Whose sickness is the games they play And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes As who is most to blame today And then along comes Mary And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality From where she got her name And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers Will make them not the same When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed And flaccid kids are flung across the stars The psychodramas and the traumas gone The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars And then along comes Mary And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains She left the night before Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them Realize their urgent cry for sight no more When we met I was sure out to lunch Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch. -The Association, Along Comes Mary RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - aussiefriend - 04-30-2013 OK MWS, stop it! I am not taking credit for the Little River Band........you can give full credit to Crash for that, and whilst you are at it, Russell Crowe too. By the way, you guys can keep Crowe. bbbrrrrrrr *shudders* RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Duchess - 04-30-2013 He got really chunky.

What if he had to sing all his lines from Gladiator? That would've been one shitty movie. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Clang McFly - 04-30-2013 RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 04-30-2013 I fell asleep during the movie. However, I thought Hugh Jackman was very good.

Oh yeah, very good. *nods* RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - BlueTiki - 04-30-2013 My brothers got the ship's band to play this and they both danced with my Mum and her college roomate. They were celebrating their 85th Bday. I cried like a baby and it's now a favorite. Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday Better think about the wish I made This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake Every day's a revolution Pull it together and it comes undone Just one more candle and a trip around the sun I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning And it's good to know it's out of my control If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go No, you never see it coming Always wind up wondering where it went Only time will tell if it was time well spent It's another revelation Celebrating what I should have done With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun Yes, I'll make a resolution That I'll never make another one Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun Just enjoy this ride ... Until it's done RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - HairOfTheDog - 05-01-2013 ^ Hadn't heard that one before. Beautiful lyrics, Tiki. Seem perfect for the occasion. Danced to this one last week. Family. One child grows up to be Somebody that just loves to learn yeah Another child grows up to be Somebody we just love to burn Mom loves the both of them You see it's in the blood, you see it's in the blood Both kids are good to Mom Blood's thicker than the mud, it's a family affair RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Midwest Spy - 05-13-2013 I've always like this little snippet: 'and I'll make it all worthwhile I'll make your heart smile' -Depeche Mode, Strangelove RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - BlueTiki - 05-13-2013 It's no secret. One of my guilty TV pleasures is Burn Notice. I love Tom Petty and this "story" was one of my favorites. D'jya recognize Fionna (AKA - Margaret Tudor)? How 'bout Joey? RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Cynical Ninja - 05-13-2013 You all have truly awful taste in music. I'd post lyrics but they would be beyond the blatantly obvious shit posted here. Why waste my time on the lyrically retarded agents of obviousness. The lyrics quoted in this thread are as subtle as a fart under the duvet. Typical american over emotional over obvious emotional tripe. RE: FAVORITE LYRICS? - Maggot - 05-13-2013 Not a Bob Dylan fan I see.
