Lyrical Moments...

[Ghost]

The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches into where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road

My heart is old it holds my memories
My body burns a gemlike flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kyrie Eleison
Down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison
Through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison
Where I'm going will you follow
Kyrie Eleison
On a highway in the light

When I was young I thought of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have followed down my chosen road
Or only wished what I could be

Kyrie - Mr. Mister

[CJ]

Here I stand, all alone
Have my mind turned with stone
Have my heart filled up with ice
To avoid it's breaking twice.

Thanks to you, my dear old friend.
But you can't help this is the end
Of a tale that wasn't right.
I won't have no sleep tonight.

In my heart, In my soul: I really hate to pay this toll
Should be strong, young and bold: but the only ything I feel is pain.

It's alright, we'll stay friends
Trusting in my confidence
And let's say. "It's just alright."
You wont sleep alone tonight.

In my heart, In my soul: I really hate to pay this toll
Should be strong, young and bold: but the only thing I feel is pain.

With my heart, with my soul: some guy's cry, "You've bought and sold."
They've been strong, young and bold. And they say, "Play this song again..."

A Tale That Wasn't Right.

[jacksondonut]

Magic... moments
There're the things I will remember
Where's the time we spent together... laughing
Then you walk into my dream... dear

And I see your face
Young and so free, smiling at me
So long since I've... had you near

Now you've come back again
Where the love never ends
And you're right here
When I think of you

When I... need you, I just close my eyes
And you're... here
Right beside me when I'm lost in... shadows
Of the memories of you... oh my dear

And I see your face
Young and so free, smiling at me
In your eyes I walk without fear
We're together again
Where the love never ends
'Cause you're right here
When I think of you

Hold on... just for a while
Hold on... hold on

I try to forget the night that you left
It's all so unreal, with you gone
I can dream once again...
Where the love never ends
'Cause you're right here
When I think of you
When I think of you
When I think of you

Journey~When I think of You

[jacksondonut]

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

[CHORUS:]
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own...
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

[CHORUS]

[jacksondonut]

I would have given you all of my heart
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she's taken just all that I had
But if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I'm sure going to give you a try
And if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
But when it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst

I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
But I'm sure gonna give you a try
'cause if you want I'll try to love again
Baby I'll try to love again but I know

The first cut is the deepest
Baby I know the first cut is the deepest
When it come to being lucky she's cursed
When it come to loving me she's the worst

[Ghost]

I got a feeling
Everything's gonna be alright
And I can find my way
And I heard
It's always darkest before the storm
So come on let it rain

"Silence" ~ Tiffany

[jacksondonut]

Same old story is back again
She's not a lover, she's just a friend
I'm sick and tired for you to blame on me
Now you think it's funny
Now you wanna spend your money on girls
But you forgot when you were down
That I was around

Call my lover, hang up, call again
What in the world is happening
Listen in, but don't yell at me
Isn't it ironic all you wanna do is smoke chronic
Boy, you forgot when you were down
Who was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

Memories don't live like people do
I'm sick for ever believing you
Wish you'd bring back the man I knew
Was good to me, oh Lord
Everytime you say you're coming
Boy, you disappoint me, honey
How well you forgot when you were down
And I was around

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore
I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore

One of these days, it's gonna happen to you
Missing a love like I'm missing you, babe yeah yeah
One of these days, when your dreams come true
That's the one that's gonna do it to you
Oh oh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah

I can't eat, I can't sleep anymore
Waiting for love to walk through the door
I wish I didn't miss you anymore


Angie Stone

[Ghost]

Well, it seems like so long ago
But it really ain't you know
I started out a crazy kid
Miracle I made it through the things I did
The things I did

Someday I'll go where there ain't no rain or snow
‘Til then, I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And dream of a place called home

I had a chance to settle down
Get a job and live in town
Work in some old factory
I never liked the foreman standing over me
Over me

Oh I’d rather walk a winding road
Rather know the things I know
See the world with my own eyes
No regrets, no looking back, no goodbyes
No goodbyes

Kim Richey ~ A Place Called Home

[Aleks]

Gone are the days of my mistakes,
I'd give everything, if everything is what it takes.
I'll bring the sun and I would chase
the rain, if I needed to.
But those many ways of mine, but
I've been down that road so many
Times.
And if you depend upon me, then
Maybe you'll see.

CHORUS
You can't stop the river from flowing
To the sea.
Cos some things just happen, like
They're meant to be.
And it doesn't matter where you are,
Or where you go, or what you do.
You can't stop my heart from loving you.

There is a dream I keep alive.,
Wonderful and heavenly standing by
Your side.
Bringing you all the colours love can
Spare just to be with you.
And there maybe times when i
Should have been there to hold you
Through the night.
And if you depend upon me, then
Maybe you'll see.

CHORUS
I've been miles away but I'm paying
My dues,
But don't worry I wont blame you for
A minute, no way no.
I wont blame you this time, please.

[Beowulf]

after watching Magnolia again recently I've been in a kind of Aimee Mann mode.

You look like a perfect fit
For a girl in need of a tourniquet

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

'Cause I can tell
You know what it's like
The long farewell of the hunger strike

But can you save me
Come on and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

You struck me dumb like radium
Like Peter Pan or Superman

You will come to save me
C'mon and save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
'Cept the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
But the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

C'mon and save me
Why don't you save me
If you could save me
From the ranks of the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone

Except the freaks
Who suspect they could never love anyone
Except the freaks who could never love anyone

Save Me - Aimee Mann

[Aleks]

In the half-tone light of a young morning
she sighs and shifts on the pillow.
And across her face dancing, the first shadows fly
to kiss the Pussy Willow.

In her fairy-tale world she's a lost soul singing
in a sad voice nobody hears.
She waits in her castle of make-believing
for her white knight to appear.

Pusy Willow --- down fur-lined avenue
brushing the sleep from her young woman eyes.
Runs for the train --- see, eight o'clock's coming
cutting dreams down to size again.

[Beowulf]

something chirpy and upbeat to match my mood. Listening to this on the bus this morning with a big smile on my face. Am sure people though I was crazy.

(btw.. trivia factoid.. you may recognise this from the recent episode of Doctor Who. "Love and Monsters" .. the one with Peter Kay)

"Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey

Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mister blue sky is living here today hey, hey

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration, mister blue sky's up there waitin'
And today is the day we've waited for

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you

Mister blue sky, mister blue sky
Mister blue sky

Mister blue, you did it right
But soon comes mister night creepin' over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way

Mister blue sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long
Where did we go wrong?

Hey there mister blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Ev'rybody smiles at you
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba "

Mr Blue Sky - ELO

[Sparkles]

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben

In the same vein, there's my favourite track from the same (wonderful) film: Aimee Mann again with 'Wise Up'

It's not
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up

Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just...give up

[Aleks]

After not dancing for almost a fortnight and with a full weekend of dancing to look forward to.....

There's a dream I will never let go.
One thing is certainly true: This moment's for me and for you.
So while there's not a thing here we can do -
Let's dance
let's dance
let's dance
let's dance

[straycat]

For some reason, I've just been listening to this rather wonderful swing track from Dr Jon, which everyone's probably familiar with....

Cruella De Ville
Cruella De Ville
If she doesn't scare you
No evil thing will
To see her is to
Take a sudden chill
Cruella, Cruella De Ville

The curl of her lips
The ice in her stare
All innocent children
Had better beware
She's like a spider waiting
For the kill
Look out for Cruella De Ville

At first you think
Cruella is the devil
But after time has worn
Away the shock
You come to realize
You've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from underneath
A rock!

This vampire bat
This inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up
And never released
The world was such
A wholesome place until
Cruella, Cruella De Ville

[repeats]

So evil, even her hair's two-faced,
Like nuttin you ever seen, she's the dean 'o mean...
Do not need to mention, she's got some doggone bad intentions.
I mean - let's face it, a person like that could ruin your whole day.

[jacksondonut]

Used to say be easy, used to have truth hanging around
Never had secrets, always singing your praises now good and loud
All I got is questions, and you left me wondering why
Why you keep your distance, every lonely night

When love was bound together, we lived it by the letter
Cant close my eyes forever, cos everything has changed and now

chorus:
I aint gonna look the other way, no no
After all the clouds go by, its just another empty sky
I aint gonna wait to see the rain, no no
Nothings gonna make it right
Look at me cos I choose life

Its all about givin, its not about winning the game
My mind was open, ready or not you closed it up again
Still I keep askin, if you got something to hide
I never stopped learning all the reasons why

It took about a minute
To find the point and hit it
Gotta take this life and live it
Cos everything has changed and now

chorus:...

When all the lights go out so suddenly
I loose my way
So baby tell me is something going on
You gotta free me
This time Im gonna be strong

chorus:...

I Choose Life-Keisha White

[Sparkles]

Toe to toe
Dancing very slow
Barely breathing
Almost comatose
Wall to wall
People hypnotised
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in Rapture

[ducasi]

Right in the night
Right in the night
Right in the night you'll find
That if you want to fall in love you'll fall in love

Right in the night
Right in the night sweet thing is what you'll get
When you fall in love, you fall in love

Fall in love with music, fall in love with dance
Fall in love with anything that makes you want romance
Make a little softer on the way that you go
Just think that everything you touch could turn to gold

Fall in love with everything that you would love to love
You know that laughter is a kind form to wake you up
So don't make me feel unpleasant like you do
You know that everything will fall right back on you

So fall in love with everything, fall in love with life
Forget about your troubles and be a little nice
You will not see me if you don't want to look
Just come and get me in my big big bed of love
Big big bed of love

Right in the night
Right in the night
Right in the night you'll find
That if you want to fall in love you'll fall in love

Right in the night
Right in the night sweet thing is what you'll get
When you fall in love, you fall in love

So fall in love with stories if fairy tales are true
Innocence is part of what you're losin' with your youth
Show a little confidence, show a little class
Don't kiss the past, the past ain't gonna last

Just fall in love with passion, fall in love with lust
Fall in love with all the things you're always dreaming of
Fall in love with music and you will get by

Right in the night
Right in the night
Right in the night you'll find
That if you want to fall in love you'll fall in love

Right in the night
Right in the night sweet thing is what you'll get
When you fall in love, you'll fall in love
