Lyrical Moments... - Page 10

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said "Give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
"If I show you the roses, will you follow?"

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist

On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose tween her teeth

Really don't think I need to name this one, do I?

I don't believe these are Bon Jovi lyrics? I will stand corrected if I'm wrong

Where are they from, I've tried to google them but 'its knows nothing'

**Beowulf** · 12th-July-2006, 12:07 PM

Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono wearing bracelets of smoke
Naked of understanding
Nicotine smears, long, long dried tears, invisible tears
Safe in my own words, learning from my own words
Cruel joke, cruel joke

Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono a morning mare rides
In the starless shutters of my eyes
The spirit of a misplaced childhood is rising to speak his mind
To this orphan of heartbreak, disillusioned and scarred
A refugee, refugee

(thanks to the word association thread for putting this song in my head!)

Tain't No Sin, Words by Edgar Leslie, Music by Walter Donaldson

Dancing may do this and that, and help you take off lots of fat.
But I'm no friend of dancing when it's hot.
So if you are a dancing fool, who loves to dance but can't keep cool,
Bear in mind the idea that I've got.

When it gets too hot for comfort
and you can't get ice cream cones,
Tain't no sin
to take off your skin
and dance around in your bones.

When the lazy syncopation of the music softly moans,
Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

The polar bears aren't green up in Greenland, they've got the right idea.
They think it's great to refrigerate while we all cremate down here.
Just be like those Bamboo Babies, in the South Sea tropic zones,
Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

When you're calling up your sweetie in those hot house telephones,
Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.
When you're on a crowded dance floor, near those red hot saxophones,
Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

Just take a look at the girls while they're dancing.
Notice the way that they're dressed.
They wear silken clothes without any hose
and nobody knows the rest.
If a gal wears X-ray dresses, and shows everything she owns,
Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

version by Chris Barber and Ottilie Patterson is very danceable.

That's just what I thought when I read them, surely lyrics that good couldn't be from Bon Jovi?

It would appear so!

They're from "Keeping The Faith" (yes, by Bon Jovi) I'm ashamed to admit I have about 40 Bon Jovi tracks, but I don't know that one at all.

Sheepman/WB, thankyou for the compliment..

Just wanted to see if anyone noticed...

NB the album is This Left Feels Right.. its brilliant

This one SHOULDN'T need any introductions... I'd be very surprised if it did !

"We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight, and we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois' Law Enforcement Community who have chosen to join us here in the Palace Hotel Ballroom at this time. We do sincerely hope you'll all enjoy the show, and please remember people, that no matter who you are, and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there are still some things that make us all the same. You, me them, everybody, everybody.

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)
I need you you you
I need you you you
I need you you you In the morning
I need you you you When my soul's on fire

Sometimes I feel
I feel a little sad inside
When my baby mistreats me
I never never never have a place to hide
I need you

Sometimes I feel

When my baby mistreats me
I never never never have a place to hide
I need you you you

You know people when you do find that somebody
Hold that woman, hold that man
Love him, hold him, squeeze her, please her, hold her
Squeeze and please that person, give 'em all your love
Signify your feelings with every gentle caress
Because it's so important to have that special somebody
to hold, kiss, miss, squeeze and please

Someone to love
Sweetheart to miss
Sugar to kiss

Barry Shnikov · 13th-July-2006, 12:00 AM

When you were here before
couldn't look you in the eye
...face like an angel
...skin makes me cry

...

I wish I was special
you're so f()cking special...
but I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here...

Barry Shnikov · 13th-July-2006, 12:05 AM

I had dream we went away
left the city for a day
you took me on southwards a plane and showed me Spain or somewhere

- but in reality, you're not so keen to show me anything
...and I thought you liked me

Hey - show some love!
you ain't so tuff
come fill my little world right up
someday you're going to realise...

azande · 13th-July-2006, 09:42 AM

Like a flash of light in an endless night
Life is trapped between two black entities
'Cause when you trust someone
Illusion has begun
No way to prepare
Impending despair

Did one say so cruel
'Tis better to love than lose
Ignorance is bliss
Wish not knew your kiss
So many times been burned
This lesson goes unlearned
Remember desire only fuels the fire
Liar!

Betwixed birth and death
Every breath regret
I pity the living
Envy for the dead
Emotionally stunned
In defense - I'm numb
I'd rather not care then to be aware
Be scared

I don't need love

Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
Longing for the past but dreading the future
If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser

World renowned failure at both death and life
Given nothingness, purgatory blight
To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
Options exhausted, except for anesthesia
Anesthesia

I don't feel anything

Type O Negative - Anesthesia

**jacksondonut** · 14th-July-2006, 03:09 PM

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I dont get hurt
Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you I am afraid

I lose my way and its not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry because you know thats weakness in your eyes
Im forced to fake a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life
My heart cant possibly break, when it wasnt even whole to start with

I watched you die, I heard you cry, every night in your sleep
I was so young you should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else you just saw your pain
and now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing...

**Beowulf** · 14th-July-2006, 03:50 PM

Ok this just turned up on my MP3 player random play.

Since i'm interested in baking I thought it quite apt

Two Tablespoons of cinnamon, and 2 or 3 eggwhites
A-Half a stick of butter, meeeelted..
Stick it all in a bowl baby, Stir it with a wooden spoon
Mix in a Cup of Flour, you'll be in heaven soon
Say everybody have you seen my balls?
They're big and salty and brown
If you ever need a quick Pick-me-up
Just stick my balls in your mouth!
Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls,
Stick em in your mouth and suck em!
Suck on my Chocolate Salty balls
They're packed full of vitamins, and good for you,
So suck on My balls!

Quarter cup of unsweeted chocolate, and half cup of brandy
Then throw in a bag or two of sugar, and just a pinch of vanilla
Grease up the cookiesheet, cos I hate when my balls stick
Then Preheat the oven to 350°(tree-fitty), and give that spoon a lick
Say everybody have you seen my balls?
They're big and salty and brown
If you ever need a quick Pick-me-up
Just stick my balls in your mouth...
Ooh, Suck on my chocolate salty balls
Stick em in your mouth and suck em!
Suck on my Chocolate Salty balls
they're packed full of goodness, high in Fiber
Suck on My balls!

[sniff sniff] Hey, wait a minute, what's that smell?
Smells like something burning
Well, that don't confront me none
As long as I get my rent paid on the Friday.
Baby you'd better get back in the Kitchen..
Cos i've gotta Sneaking Suspicion..
Oh man baby, baby! You just burnt my balls!

Someone help me, my balls are on fire!
Get some ice baby! My balls are Burning!
Give some water, pour some water on me!
My Balls are burning!
Oh my goodness, Blow on em, Blow on em, do something!
Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls
Put em in your mouth and suck em!
Suck on my Chocolate Salty balls
Put em out baby, Blow em!
Suck on my balls, baby! Suck on my balls Baby!
Suck on my red hot, salty, chocolate balls
Put em out baby, hoo, hoo
Suck on my balls...

It's OBVIOUSLY a recipe in the form of song

*straycat* · 14th-July-2006, 04:36 PM

Mr Beowulf will have no trouble recognising this tender love song.

I hold your hand in mine, dear. I bring it to my lips.
I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips...

My joy would be complete dear, if you were only here.
But still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir.

The night you died, I cut it off. I really don't know why.
For each time that I kiss it, I get bloodstains on my tie....

I'm sorry now I killed you, for our love was something fine.
But 'till they come to get me, I will hold your hand in mine.
