FAVORITE LYRICS?

[Midwest Spy]

As I've grown older, I've really come to appreciate some songs that I would've never listened to in my 20's & 30's.

I was watching 'Love Actually' with my wife a couple nights back and there's a sad scene where a wife discovers her husband is having an affair and she takes a moment by herself, away from her husband and children to try and collect herself, while this verse of a song was playing:

Moons, June's and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave them laughing when you go
And if you care don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take and still somehow
It's loves illusions I recall
I really don't know love.... at all


Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say 'I love you' right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

Both Sides Now- Joni Mitchell

I've heard the song a time or two in the past but hearing it the other night the lyrics really struck me.

Just a great song.

"Her hot-spot love for me is strong."

-J. Geils band


What a classic line.

I've had this old Sammy Johns song stuck in my head for weeks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiEIToOWr64

I gave a girl a ride in my wagon
She crawled in and took control
She was tired as her mind was a-draggin'
I said get some sleep and dream of rock-an-roll

Like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

Her young face was like that of an angel
And her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road, son
Better slow this ve-hicle down

'Cause like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

I put her out in a town that was so small
You could throw a rock from end to end
A dirt-road Main Street
She walked off in bare feet
It's a shame I won't be passin' through again

Like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

Yeah like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

[F.U.]

As I was just playing that song my OL reminded me that I just bought a chevy van a few weeks ago and we hadn't broken it in yet. I bet that is why this song got stuck in my head.
Well now she wants me to take her out to dinner, a movie and a few drinks. Looks like the van might get broken in. Hahaha

[F.U.]

Now I have this Nine Inch Nails song stuck in my head.

You let me violate you you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides help me I've got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me its' your sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive
You get me closer to god
Help me get away from myself
You get me closer to god
Help me get away from myself
You get me closer to god

this is one of my favorite Springsteen songs.

I've always thought he was an above average lyricist, and to me, this is an example.


You and me, we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don't surrender
Well, the world just strips away

Girl ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well, you can wait on your blessings darling
But I got a deal for you right here

I ain't looking for prayers or pity
I ain't comin round searchin for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch

- Bruce Springsteen

[Maggot]

Well, I'm ridin' along
Singin' the same ol' cowboy song
That's been sung a hundred times before
Ain't got nothin' but my name

And I'm the only man I know to blame
But I'm livin' I'm happy and I'm free
Just listen to the wind blow
Let it blow, let it blow

Sand over my trail
I got my saddle on the ground
And that ol' moon he can still be found
Hidin' in the desert sky

I like simple things in life like a prairie breeze
A good stout horse between my knees
Just bein' alone just bein' me
And when I die let me die with a dream in my mind

A smile on my face and no trouble behind
And no cross on my grave to show my restin' place
So I can listen to the wind blow
Let it blow, let it blow

Sand over my trail
I got my saddle on the ground
And that ol' moon he can still be found
Hidin' in the desert sky

Won't you bury me with my chaps on
And my six-gun strapped to my side
So I can watch the moon a hidin'
In the desert sky

Hidin' in the desert sky
Hidin' in the desert sky
Hidin' in the desert sky

Not big on rap, but this is done very well. I would have posted it in my mosh pit but someone started a porn thread in "we don't give a fuck" and I can't get into that section anymore.

[Duchess]

It was me!

Will your work filter be bothered by the word smut? Ha! I'll work with you on this.

I don't think so?

I've got 'What A Fool Believes' playing on repeat.

Gonna hook it with 'Real Love' and go nuts just like in '40 Year Old Virgin' when everyone pretends they can't stand Michael McDonald.

[Midwest Spy]

Well, the police say we can't drink in the bar

What a shame!

Won't you come upstairs girl

And have a drink of cham-payne!

What was your name? Little girl?

What's your name?

A very tiny schtick.
