Posted: 7/26/2009 5:07:34 AM | following on from the guitar solo thread,what about memorable wordplay in songs,moments that cause the heart to skip a beat,frown in bewilderment of even burst out laughing ?.....
`sometimes I wonder what all these chemicals are doing to my brain
it doesn`t worry me enough to stop me from doing it again
wiping out brain cells by the millions but I dont care
it doesn`t worry me even though I aint got a lot to spare` 
The Nips are getting bigger---------- Mental as Anything

'Angel' by Robbie Williams - I know it's something of a girlie anthem and cliche, but the lyrics are beautiful. | |

In a clam bar in New York
He could see them comin in,as he lifted up his fork
He pushed the table over,to protect his family
Then he staggered out into the steets, of Little Italy

Another cliched one, but it gets to me.
As does Aerosmith's I Don't Want to Miss a Thing. Makes me cry everytime I hear it, which is a bit of a bugger when I'm driving. It reminds me of watching over my daughter when she was new. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 5:42:21 AM | "Well maybe there's a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd out drew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah"
When Jeff Buckley sings it!
And another one.....
The invisible threads that circle around me
They start at my heart and crawl right out of my skin
When I am all in the dark I still feel you beside me
But I will never let you go....There's a light in my life
And its taking me over.
Tom Baxter
The latter was a favourite of mine..... then it was played at a friends young sons funeral and I cant listen to it now without weeping, yup, not a good look whilst driving.

This is Starfleet control
You are clear to go hyper space
Acknowledge
Affirmative, Star-com
We have situation gold
Niner niner zero, roger
You're looking good for trans-light
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Oh...
Hey, Captain Strange
Won't you be my lover
You're the best thing
That I've ever discovered
Flash Gordon's left me
He's gone to the stars
And evil Darth Vader
Has me banished to Mars
Tell me, Captain Strange
Do you feel my devotion
Or are you like a droid
Devoid of emotion
Encounters one and two
Are not enough for me
What my body needs
Is close encounter three
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing light in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquor space
Listen, Captain Strange
What's our destination
The scanners seem to
Indicate a small devation
Static on the comm
It's Starfleet Command
Requesting your position
It's their final demand
You're intentions are known
They've found out at least
So if you're gonna take me
Please make it fast
Touch me
Feel me
Do what you will
I want to feel
That galactic thrill
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing light in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquor space
Niner niner zero
This is Star Comm
We got a problem
On your vector
Request status check
Over
Oh, baby...
Arcadia
This is strategy control
You have course deviation
At five mark six
Acknowledge
I love you...
Arcaida
We show condition red
Confirm
Love me...
What's going on out there
Oh...
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing light in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquor space
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Oh...
Space suit is lying
On control room
Pulse rate increasing
As the heat factor soars
Take me
Make me
Feel the force
Ignore the computers
We're locked on course
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing light in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquor space
I lost my heart to a starship trooper
Flashing light in hyper space
Fighting for the Federation
Hand in hand we'll conquor space
REPEAT AND FADE THE ABOVE WITH
Niner niner zereo
This is Star Comm
Be advised you
Have serious
vector deviation
I repeat,
Serious vector deviation
Arcadia
Niner niner zero Do you copy
This is Starfleet Control
Jeff Calvert and Max West
1978
This touched me deeply

Posted: 7/26/2009 5:50:01 AM | Mr Mc Gowan is a great shout Hula,from poignant....
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into heaven
Some of them fell into hell
to raucous......
When the world is too dark and I need the light inside of me
I`ll walk into a bar and drink 15 pints of beer
Cos I`m goin Iam going,any which way the wind may be flowing
I am going Iam going,where streams of whisky are flowing..
The mans a god  | |

"And so we grace another table
And raise our glasses one more time
There's a face at the window
And i ain't never, never sayin' goodbye..."
Along with REM's "Everybody hurts"
Spiritualized "Stop your crying"
Puddle of Mudd "she *******hates me" always makes me giggle! | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 6:35:43 AM | Crash test dummies must have some of the surrealist lyrics going:
(HOW DOES A DUCK KNOW)
How does a duck know what direction is southis And how to, tell his wife from all the other ducks
(AND GOD SHUFFLED HIS FEET)
Aftwe seven days he was quite tired, so God said:
"Let there be a day just for picnics, with wine and bread"
He gathered up some people he had made
created blankets and laid back in the shade
The people sipped their wine
And what with god there, they asked him questions Like:
do you have to eat or get your hair cut in heaven?
And if your eye gets poked out in this life... would it be waiting up in heaven with your wife.
But for sentiment it has to be Bill Fredricks and LOVE WITH YOU. | |

Posted: 7/26/2009 7:19:14 AM | This is the B side of our platter, sports fans.
And I'm singing just for your coverted sequence.
In the canyons of your mind
I will wander through your brain
To the ventricles of your heart, my dear
I'm in love with you again!
'Cross the mountains of your chest
I will sticker Union Jacks
To the forest of your cheek
Through the holes in your string vest
My darling, in my cardboard-coloured dreams
(Ooh, cardboard-coloured dreams)
Once again I hear your love
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I kiss, yes I kiss your perfumed hair
(But she's not there)
The sweet essence of giraffe
And each time I hear your name
(Frying pan, frying pan)
Oh! How it hurts
(He's in pain)
In the wardrobe of my soul
(Oh, my soul)
In the section labelled "shirts"
(Aah)
Ah! Oh!

Posted: 7/26/2009 8:24:02 AM | I hear your name whispered on the wind
It,s a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again through my mind
And i dont know why
I wish i didn,t feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
So many people love you baby
That must be what you are
Waiting for a start to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
Thats where you belong in my arms baby yeah
Not gonna write the whole song but Waiting For A Star To Fall by Boy Meets Girl is special to me and whenever i hear it,it stops me in my tracks! | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 5:54:34 PM | Daylight has found me here again,
You can ask me anything... but where I've been,
Things that used, to matter, seem so small,
When you're looking for a soft place to fall.
Don't misunderstand me, baby please,
I didn't mean to bring back mem'ries,
You should know the reason why I call,
I was looking for a soft place to fall.
Looking for a soft place,
Nothing more than a small taste,
Of a love that ended long ago.
Lookin' for a place to hide,
A warm bed on a cold night
I didn't mean to hurt you,
No....no,no.
Looking out your window, at dawn,
Baby when you wake up, I'll be gone,
Your the one that taught me, after all,
How to find a soft place to fall.
You're the one that taught me after all,
How to find, a soft place to fall.
Soft Place to Fall... | |

Posted: 7/27/2009 11:10:04 PM | Sorry to pick a love song but this just makes me want to be in love
Lately, I realise that its you
You are the one who makes everything right,
Summer days and winter nights
Slowly, I open my eyes and your smile is there to greet me
And whisper words to tell me its alright,
Ill stay by you in your darkest night
Time and again the situation shows,
You make it better...
Time and again I realize,
You are the morning of my day...
Time and again my feelings let me know
You make it better...
We wasted words on conversation,
cos all I wanna do is just talk about,
The woman I love, woman I love...
I never thought I could be this way,
When I hold you in my arms
I know I just wanna stay this is the place I should be,
In sweet harmony with the woman I love.
You and I could always
Talk it over as friends
And you never, ever worried,
We always make it good in the end..
Time and again the situation shows,
You make it better...
Time and again I realize,
You are the morning of my day...
Time and again my feelings let me know
You make it better...
No wasted words on conversation,
A necessary seperation
cos all I wanna do is just talk about,
The woman I love, the woman I love... | |

Posted: 7/28/2009 1:29:18 AM | Mr Clapton, Layla.
What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.
I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.
Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.
The wonderful Mr Steve Harley, love compared with you.
I been trying to write this line
But the years've gone by in no time
And you know that it's not easy for a boy in love
But i had to find a clue
And it could only come from you
Like a waterfall you tingle me with your love
and you know that since you loved me i have everything
And you know that since you loved me it's been easy
All the things that i been through
Don't mean a thing compared with you
You can give me life forever in a moment
You carry me like a child and you're a goddess when i'm wild
When i'm desperate in black you are golden
and you know that since you loved me i have everything
And you know that since you loved me it's been easy
and i confess...
I'm in love with you | |

Posted: 7/28/2009 8:02:18 AM | This is quality, gets me everytime I listen to it, Gerry Rafferty can open a window to the soul with some of his lyrics.
Wakin’ up here on a rainy day
I swore last time that I would stay away
I came down here to talk to you
I said this time I might get through.
I heard us speak but all the words were dead
We talked all night and left it all unsaid
So we agree to disagree
At least we got our memory.
Whatever’s written in your heart, that’s all that matters
You’ll find a way to say it all someday (yeah)
Whatever’s written in your heart, that’s all that matters
Yeah, night and day, night and day.
You’ve got your secrets yeah and I’ve got mine
We’ve played this game now for a long long time
You don’t lean on anyone
You never had no place to run.
You never wanted me to get too close
We love and hate the ones we need the most
I tried to find a way to you
One thing I could say to you.
Whatever’s written in your heart, that’s all that matters
You’ll find a way to say it all someday (yeah)
Whatever’s written in your heart, that’s all that matters
Yeah, night and day, night and day.
Maybe I’ve always set my sights too high
You take the easy way and still get by
I know there ain’t no special way
We all get there anyway.
I heard us speak but all the words were dead
Talked all night and left it all unsaid
So we agree to disagree
At least we got our memory.
Whatever’s written in your heart, that’s all that matters
You’ll find a way to say it all someday (yeah)
Whatever’s written in your heart, that’s all that matters
Yeah, night and day, night and day. | |

Posted: 7/28/2009 1:13:20 PM | ^^^I hear ya, Norty... I adore Gerry Rafferty's lyrics... His old gigmate Al Stewart is a brilliant lyricist too. Would be hard to choose from any of their songs...
Tim Finn - How'm I Gonna Sleep
"There's a pure idea in every mind,
Waiting to be acted on.
Yesterday we have to leave behind,
Climbing up that hill, never stop.
But I'd prefer that you were next to me,
Making the shape that used to be.
How'm I gonna sleep without you?
I don't want this lonely night.
How'm I gonna sleep, oh baby, I love you,
And I don't need this endless night.
There's an open road on every map,
Waiting to be travelled down.
All we need is faith to bridge the gap,
That lies between our hearts and our minds.
It's staring me blind,
I don't need this endless night, this lonely night.
How'm I gonna sleep without you?
I don't want this lonely night.
How'm I gonna sleep, oh baby, I love you,
And I don't need this endless night.
How'm I gonna sleep when I'm all alone?
How'm I gonna sleep, this house is not a home.
How'm I gonna sleep that dreamy ride through space?
This comet lacks a tail, gotta failure of nerves...." | |

I have walked a thousand miles
I have worked as fast as i can
And i have raised our precious child to be a man
But i would never turn my back on your love
I have gone up and down
Yeah i have wandered from place to place
And i have raised my weary hand to my face
But i would never turn my back on your love
Is there anybody there who knows me?
Is there anybody ther who knows now
That i will be home soon?
And i would never turn my back on your love
When the sun is going down
And there are cars against the sky
I have seen my hometown in your eyes
But i would never turn my back
Yeah i am learning to face the facts
No i would never turn my back on your love

Posted: 7/28/2009 2:48:07 PM | Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war
Until there no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war
Until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race
There's a war
Until that day, the dream of lasting peace
World citizenship, rule of international morality
Will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Everywhere is war | |

Posted: 7/28/2009 3:34:35 PM | Getting a bit morbid now but this was a friends funeral song.
Alan Parsons Old and Wise
As far as my eyes can see
There are Shadows approaching me
And to those I left behind
I wanted you to Know
You've always shared my deepest thoughts
You follow where I go
And oh when I'm old and wise
Bitter words mean little to me
Autumn Winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
And the sadness would be Lifted from my eyes
Oh when I'm old and wise
As far as my Eyes can see
There are shadows surrounding me
And to those I leave behind
I want you all to know
You've always Shared my darkest hours
I'll miss you when I go
And oh, when I'm old and wise
Heavy words that tossed and blew me
Like Autumn winds that will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time
When they ask you if you knew me
Remember that You were a frined of mine
As the final curtain falls before my eyes
Oh when I'm Old and wise | |

Posted: 7/28/2009 5:37:40 PM | Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea betore
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey blue, here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there are so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs...lots of laughs
Everybodys saying that hells the hippest way to go
Well I dont think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
