Lyrical Moments...

[Rhythm King]

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

I can’t see much of a future
Unless we find out who’s to blame
What a shame
And we won’t be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel like dirt
And I’m hurt
And if I start a commotion
I’ll only end up losing you
And that’s worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with
Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn’t’ve fallen in love with

Yeah I only smoke weed when I need to
And I need to get some rest wheres the sex
I confess I burned a hole in the mattress
yes yes it was me I plead guilty
And at the count of three I pull back the duvet
Make my way to the refrigerator
One dry potato inside, no lie
Not even bread, jam
When the light above my head went BAM (bam bam)
I can't sleep, something's all over me greasy
Insomnia please release me and let me dream about
Makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no relief, I'm wide awake
In my kitchen, it's black and I'm lonely
Oh if I could only get some sleep
Creaky noises make my skin creep
I need to get some sleep
I can't get no sleep

[Aleks]

What are you thinking when you're looking at me
What can you tell me of reality?
I'm only woman... not just a Fantasy
and the flesh and blood is warmer than some color transparency

Every woman's a Madonna; every woman's a whore
You can try to reduce me but I'm so much more
I don't want to be your mother; won't be shoved in a drawer
cause every woman's a Madonna, every woman's a whore, that's right

[Gadget]

"You're building all your problems to the size of a cow"

"They're justified and they're ancient. And they drive an ice-cream van."

"you make me dizzy - Like a whurl-pool; it never ends"

"You see it's true (oo-oo) an ape like me (ee-ee) can learn to be, Huuuu-man Tooooo"

"What a day for a day dream; custom made for a day dreamin' boy; now I'm lost in a sweet dream: dreamin about ma bundle of joy"

"And all that I knew was, the hole in my shoe was letting in water... letting in water... letting in waater."

"..he can't blow a note, unles the base and guitar are playing with aaaam; half the company jump whe he plays revolie; he's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company B"

"The boy said 'ma name's Johnny, and it may be a sin, but I'll take you're bet; and you're gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best there's ever been!'"

[Beowulf]

"Why this car is automatic
It's systematic , It's hyyyyyyyyyydromatic
Why it's greased lightning!!"

"Ooh she may be weary
And them young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when they get weary
You gotta try a little tenderness"

"When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' on up to the spirit in the sky"

[Sparkles]

Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper 'I love you'.
Birds singing in the sycamore tree;
Dream a little dream of me.

Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
While I'm alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.

Stars fading but I linger on, dear,
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you,
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.

[jacksondonut]

As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of the broken hearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe..

The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I cant take this pain much longer
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
cold and alone
No comfort in sight
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin to where
What becomes of the broken hearted?
who had love thats now departed?
I know Ive got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.

Im searching though I don't succeed
But someone look, there's a growing need
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning
All that's left is an unhappy ending
Now what's become of the broken hearted?
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care
I'll be looking everyday
I Know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere..

Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes of the Broken Hearted.

[jacksondonut]

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

Chorus:
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish, take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I wont forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway..

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

(chorus)

Building with a hundred floors
swinging 'round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

(chorus)


Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson

[jacksondonut]

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sendin' all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what its supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I'm forever yours.... faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart ain't easy
On this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy
Of rediscovering you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours... faithfully


Journey - Faithfully

[Rhythm King]

You look into my eyes
I go out of my mind
I can't see anything
Cos this love's got me blind
I can't help myself
I can't break this spell
I can't even try

I'm in over my head
You got under my skin
I got no strength at all
In the state that I'm in
And my knees are weak
And my mouth can't speak
Fell too far this time

[jacksondonut]

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase
Even your emotions have an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you think you are
Ha Ha Ha bless your soul
Your really think your'e in control

Well, I think your crazy
I think your crazy
I think your crazy
Just like me

My heroes had a heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them

Ever since I was little oh it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'd done

But mabe I'm crazy
Maybe your crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably.......

[Aleks]

A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know

In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me

[azande]

On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequins
Where ceremonies pause at the jeweller's shop display
Feigning casual silence in strained romantic interludes
Till they commit themselves to the muted journey home
And the pool player rests on another cue
Last nights hero picking up his dues
A honeymoon gambled on a ricochet
She's staring at the brochures at the holidays

Chalking up a name in your hometown
Standing all your mates to another round
Laughing at the world till the barman wipes away the warm wet circles
The warm wet circles

I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths
A classroom's shabby butterflies
Flirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes
Planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts and token proclamations
Rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razored webs of glass
Sharing cigarettes with experience with her giggling jealous confidantes
She faithfully traces his name with quick bitten fingernails
Through the tears of condensation that'll cry through the night
As the glancing headlights of the last bus kiss adolescence goodbye
In a warm wet circle

Like a mothers kiss on your first broken heart, a warm wet circle
Like a bullet hole in Central Park, a warm wet circle
And I'll always surrender to the warm wet circles

She nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse
Giving it all away before it's too late
She'll let a lovers tongue move in a warm wet circle
Giving it all away and showing no shame
She'll take a mother's kiss on her first broken heart a warm wet circle
She'll realise that she played her part in a warm wet circle

Marillion - Warm Wet Circles

Aisha
We've only just met
And I think you ought to know
I'm a murderer
Babies need blood

I have a portrait on my wall
He's a serial killer
I thought he wouldn't escape
Aisha
He got out

We live in a cemetary
A cold and damp place
And science runs through us
Making us Gods

The rules are all Wrong
Every perversion is justified
The {something people} eat dead bodies *this line is a little unclear!!
Anything goes around here

I still want to to be human again
What am I?
What am I?
I'm a murderer

Aisha
I'm confused
Aisha
I'm vibrating

{Odd gutteral grunting gagging noises}

I'm a murderer
The Gods all suck

{Screaming}

[Sparkles]

Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
Or some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day

[jacksondonut]

Ive had enough of cryin
Bleedin, sweatin, dyin
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday
Im gonna touch the sky
And I spread my wings and fly
I aint here to play
Im gonna live my life everyday

Walking in the footsteps of society's lies
I dont like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain so no one see's me cryin
Trying to wash away the pain
There's things I've done I can't erase
Every night we fall from grace

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I
