Lyrical Moments...

[ducasi]

I aint happy 'bout the shape I'm in: I can't sing, I aint pretty 'n' my legs are thin.
Don't ask me what I think of you cos I might not give the answer that you want me to.

Oh, Well.

Peter Green is my God.

(Well, one of them. ]

[CJ]

Peter Green is my God. [/size]

Sometimes, the 4 chords (which are only 3: e, D, C) at the beginning of The Green Manalishi say more to me than any lyrics.

[Piglet]

Destiny has a funny way
When it comes and takes all your cares away - Kylie

[Tessalicious]

"I can't say what I might believe
But if God made you he's in love with me"

Five For Fighting

[azande]

Together we have discovered
The languid fatigue of love
Interrogated all our beauty
We've turned each other inside out
Drowning in ebony tears
The long face of cherrlessness
The only bonding we share
Enlightened by degredation
The only pleasure is pain
Drowning in ebony tears
Embedded in our resentment
Lay the keys to disengage
But still we burn in persecution
For the punishment of possessiveness

Cathedral - Ebony Tears

[Freya]

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp I met a Southern belle
Well she took me to the river, where she cast her spell
And in that Southern moonlight, she sang a song so well

If you'll be my dixie chicken, I'll be your Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together down in dixieland
Down in dixieland

Well we made all the hot spots. My money flowed like wine
Then that low down Southern whiskey began to fog my mind
And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down
On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town
But boy do I remember the strain of her refrain
The nights we spent together, and the way she called my name

Dixie Chicken - Little Feat

[azande]

Oh baby, my time has come
I'm gonna step aboard this ship today and head for the sun
Don't know what I'll see there
Don't know what I'll find
But baby, I'll be happy if I find a peace of mind

Time travel, it's been getting me down
I've been gone so long I don't ever think I'm coming down
I've seen tomorrow
And I've seen yesterday
Will I see your face again
Well baby, you know I just can't say
Oh no, no

No I just can't say
Baby, I'm comin' down
I'm comin' down
No I just can't say, baby
But I'm comin' down
Yeah I'm comin' down
Oh won't you take me away, baby
Take me away, away, away
Yeah

Will we see the sunshine, baby
Will we ride the skies
Will we find tomorrow, baby
Will we travel time

Will we see the sunshine, baby
Will we ride the skies
Will we find tomorrow, baby
Will we travel time

We own the sun, we own the sky
We own tomorrow and we wanna fly...

I Want to Make Magic (Reprise) Lyrics
(Fame!-musical)

I want to make magic
I want to strike lightning in the sky
I want to do things you can't believe anyone would try
I want to make magic

I want to make magic
Make every moment a surprise
I'll capture your senses in a spell
Right before your eyes
I want to make magic

I want to make you think it's really real
I want to make you love the nobles roman
Weep for Willy Loman
Dream the dreams of Blanche du Bois

I want to make you laugh and roar and squeal

I want to guillotine the villain's neck off
Take a shot at Chekhov
Make it a rollercoaster ride up to a star!

I want to make magic
I want to take chances that are bold
I want to tell stories no one knows
That no one's ever told.

Now the audience is still
And the house lights are gone
Curtain going up
And I am on!

I want to do it all from A to Z
I want to do "The Lion In Winter"
Brecht and Harold Pinter
Sophocles, Eugene O'Neill

I want a chance to see what I can be
Another Jason Robards or De Niro
Play a tragic hero
Go for it all and really show the way I feel/

I want to make magic!

I want to make magic

Magic!

I want to make magic

Magic!

A thousand chances we can take
But it's all worth it when we make ...

Magic!
Magic!
Magic!
Magic!
Magic!
Magic!

Magic!

Magic!

[Piglet]

She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand
And she laughed no more



Tom Jones - My Delilah!

(My goodness I've never listened to these lyrics properly before!)

[azande]

Artificial red, smoke, poison consumed
In the House of ill Repute
Is this the way I spend my days
In recovery of a fatal disease?

On a cloud of pink has turn to grey
And I'm alone again, yeah
Someone to hold against my own
Alone, untouched is what I crave

Artificial red, smoke, poison consumed
In the House of ill Repute
Is this the place I search for love
When my need is within me, a gift from above?

Mad Season - Artificial Red

[CJ]

Did you think I would leave you dying when there's room on my horse for two?

[azande]

I wonder if we'll remember when we were two little boys....

[Barry Shnikov]

The sands of time were eroded by
The river of constant change...

---

Take a little trip back with father Tiresias...
I have crossed between the poles
And for me there's no mystery
Once a man, like the sea I raged
Once a woman, like the earth I gave
Ah, but there is in fact more earth than sea...

Genesis

[CJ]

Yesterday seemed as though it never existed:
Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye
To diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie

[bigdjiver]

I have held back from posting my own lyrics, but it occurs to me that I would not have posted them elsewhere if I did not like them, and musicians would not have recorded them if they did not like them too, and these got high praise from a songwriting consultant.

Sean Holland wrote that he was putting on a lot of weight. He then said he was going to the seaside. Another joked that he better take plenty of sun screen. Sean responded that, to anyone in his locality, he was sunscreen. This inspired:

"Summer days are coming
sun loving times begin
I want to surf you baby
til' the waves come rolling in

Put me on like sunscreen
wear me like a tan
I want to swim in you like water
be your loving seaside man.

Put your old love Aside
that isn't natures plan
and soon you'll find that you're beside
beside you're seaside man"

[Rhythm King]

Many times I whispered, amado mio
It was just a phrase that I heard in plays
I was acting a part

But now when I whisper, amado mio
Can't you tell I care by the feeling there
'Cause it comes from my heart

[Sparkles]

Let it be, let it be, let it be, Let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
...
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine until the 'moro, let it be.

[azande]

late night and early morning low clouds
with a chance of fog
chance of showers into the afternoon
with variable high cloudiness
and gusty winds, gusty winds
at times around the corner of
Sunset and Alvorado
things are tough all over
when the thunder storms start
increasing over the southeast
and south central portions
of my apartment, I get upset
and a line of thunderstorms was
developing in the early morning
ahead of a slow moving coldfront
cold blooded
with tornado watches issued shortly
before noon Sunday, for the areas
including, the western region
of my mental health
and the northern portions of my
ability to deal rationally with my
disconcerted precarious emotional
situation, it's cold out there
colder than a ticket taker's smile
at the Ivar Theatre, on a Saturday night
flash flood watches covered the
southern portion of my disposition
there was no severe weather well
into the afternoon, except for a lone gust of
wind in the bedroom
in a high pressure zone, covering the eastern
portion of a small suburban community
with a 103 and millibar high pressure zone
and a weak pressure ridge extending from
my eyes down to my cheeks cause since
you left me baby
and put the vice grips on my mental health
well the extended outlook for an
indefinite period of time until you
come back to me baby is high tonight
low tomorrow, and precipitation is
expected

Tom Waits - Emotional Weather Report

[Aleks]

you picked me up and showed me how to fly
.

And I love you,
for showing me the view

[Aleks]

Oh there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer
It's one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember
That on a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on
