Love ain't for keeping The Who
and
Picture in a Frame Tom Waits
I like Roberta Flack's version of First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, and I like Springsteen/Smith's Because the Night.
Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close try an understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Stay with me now till the mornin comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when Im in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They cant hurt you now
They cant hurt you now
They cant hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
What I got I have earned
What Im not I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when Im in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They cant hurt you now
They cant hurt you now
They cant hurt you now
Because the night...
Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They cant hurt you now
Because the night...
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
that i dug out of a drawer
the last truce we ever came to
in our adolescent war
and i start to feel the fever
from the warm air through the screen
you come regular like seasons
shadowing my dreams
and the mississippi's mighty
but it starts in minnesota
at a place that you could walk across
with five steps down
and i guess that's how you started
like a pinprick to my heart
but at this point you rush right through me
and i start to drown
and there's not enough room
in this world for my pain
signals cross and love gets lost
and time passed makes it plain
of all my demon spirits
i need you the most
i'm in love with your ghost
i'm in love with your ghost
dark and dangerous like a secret
that gets whispered in a hush
(don't tell a soul)
when i wake the things i dreamt about you
last night make me blush
(don't tell a soul)
and you kiss me like a lover
then you sting me like a viper
i go follow to the river
play your memory like a piper
and i feel it like a sickness
how this love is killing me
i'd walk into the fingers
of your fire willingly
and dance the edge of sanity
i've never been this close
i'm in love with your ghost
unknowing captor
you'll never know how much you
pierce my spirit
but i can't touch you
can you hear it
a cry to be free
oh i'm forever under lock and key
as you pass through me
now i see your face before me
i would launch a thousand ships
to bring your heart back to my island
as the sand beneath me slips
as i burn up in your presence
and i know now how it feels
to be weakened like achilles
with you always at my heels
this bitter pill i swallow
is the silence that i keep
it poisons me i can't swim free
the river is too deep
though i'm baptized by your touch
i am no worse than most
in love with your ghost
you are shadowing my dreams
(in love with your ghost)
(in love with your ghost)
(in love with your ghost)
stevie wonder, 'knocks me off my feet'
I see us in the park
Strolling the summer days of imaginings in my head
And words from our hearts
Told only to the wind felt even without being said
I don't want to bore you with my trouble
But there's sumptin' bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
There's supmtin' bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
Knocks me off my feet
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
More and more
We lay beneath the stars
Under a lovers tree that's seen through the eyes of my mind
I reach out for the part
Of me that lives in you that only our two hearts can find
But I don't want to bore you with my trouble
But there's sumptin' bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
There's sumptin' bout your love
That makes me weak and
Knocks me off my feet
Knocks me off my feet
I don't want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
Darling I don't want to bore you with it
Oh but I love you, I love you, I love you
this was a song my beloved sent to me...
To Make You Feel My Love
by Bob Dylan
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
And I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet
There and nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love

"Make our day"
(It's an REM song from New Adventures in Hi-Fi)
Be Mine
I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree.
I’ll strip the world that you must live in
of all its godforsaken greed.
I’ll ply the tar off your feathers.
I’ll pluck the thorns out of your feet.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if I choose your sanctuary.
I’ll want to wash you with my hands.
I’ll want to drink of sacred fountains
and find the riches hidden there.
I’ll reap the lotus and the peyote.
I’ll want to hear the caged-bird sing.
I’ll want the secrets of the temple.
I’ll want the finger with the ring.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if you made me your religion.
I’ll give all the room you need.
I’ll be the drawing of your breath.
I’ll be carpet you should weave.
I’ll be the sky above the Ganges
I’ll be the vast and stormy sea.
I’ll be the lights that guide you inland.
I’ll be the visions you will see.
Visions you will see.
You will see.
You will see.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And the heart so hollow
Shatter with words...
Impossible to follow
Youre saying Im fragile...i try not to be
I search only...for something I cant see
I have my own life...and I am stronger
Than you know
But I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you wont be walking out the door
Still I carry this feeling
When you walked into my house
That you wont be walking out the door
Lovers forever...face to face
My city, your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather...
Take from me...my lace
You in the moonlight
With your sleepy eyes
Could you ever love a man like me
And you were right
When I walked into your house
I knew Id never want to leave
Sometimes Im a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry
But that time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow Id get by
First time I saw you
I knew with you to light my nights
Somehow I would get by
Lovers forever...face to face
My city, your mountains
Stay with me stay
I need you to love me
I need you today
Give to me your leather
Take from me...my lace
Lovers forever...face to face
My city ,you mountains...stay with me stay
I need you to love me...i need you to stay
Give to me your leather
Take from me...my lace
Take from me...my lace
Take from me...my lace

Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If Im feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
Shes around me now
Almost all the time.
n(and) if Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
n(and) shes been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:
It isnt what shes got to say
Or how she thinks or where shes been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesnt much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.
Chorus:
n(and) I feel fine anytime shes around me now,
A-shes around me now
Almost all the time.
If Im well you can tell that shes been with me now,
And shes been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine

good call! one of my ultimate faves! especially Untitled....
another fave Cure (out-of) love song:
Letter To Elise
oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
i just can't stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this
oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
i know i'll never really get inside of you
to make your eyes catch fire
the way they should
the way the blue could pull me in
if they only would
if they only would
at least i'd lose this sense of sensing something else
that hides away
from me and you
there're worlds to part
with aching looks and breaking hearts
and all the prayers your hands can make
oh i just take as much as you can throw
and then throw it all away
oh i throw it all away
like throwing faces at the sky
like throwing arms round
yesterday
i stood and stared
wide-eyed in front of you
and the face i saw looked back
the way i wanted to
but i just can't hold my tears away
the way you do
elise believe i never wanted this
i thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
i thought you were the girl always dreamed about
but i let the dream go
and the promises broke
and the make-believe ran out...
oh elise
it doesn't matter what you say
i just can't stay here every yesterday
like keep on acting out the same
the way we act out
every way to smile
forget
and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this
and every time i try to pick it up
like falling sand
as fast as i pick it up
it suns away through my clutching hands
but there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else
i can really do
at all...
"All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme"
"SHOW ME, SHOW ME, SHOW ME HOW YOU DO THAT TRICK
THE ONE THAT MAKES ME SCREAM" SHE SAID
"THE ONE THAT MAKES ME LAUGH" SHE SAID
AND THREW HER ARMS AROUND MY NECK
"SHOW ME HOW YOU DO IT,
AND I PROMISE YOU, I PROMISE THAT,
I'LL RUN AWAY WITH YOU...
I'LL RUN AWAY WITH YOU"...
SPINNING ON THAT DIZZY EDGE
I KISSED HER FACE AND KISSED HER HEAD
AND DREAMED OF ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS
I HAD TO MAKE HER 'GLOW'...
"WHY ARE YOU SO FAR AWAY?" SHE SAID "WHY WON'T YOU EvER KNOW THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU...
THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU..."
YOU- SOFT AND ONLY
YOU- LOST AND LONELY
YOU- STRANGE AS ANGELS, DANCING IN THE DEEPEST OCEANS,TWISTING IN THE WATER, YOU'RE JUST LIKE DREAM...
JUST LIKE A DREAM...
DAYLIGHT LICKED ME INTO SHAPE, I MUST HAVE BEEN ASLEEP FOR DAYS
AND MOVING LIPS,TO BREATHE HER NAME,
I OPENED UP MY EYES...
AND FOUND MYSELF ALONE, ALONE...
ALONE ABOVE A RAGING SEA..
THAT STOLE THE ONLY GIRL I LOVED..
AND DROWNED HER DEEP INSIDE OF ME...
YOU- SOFT AND ONLY
YOU- LOST AND LONELY
YOU-
JUST LIKE HEAVEN...~

"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
i have a feeling this thread could turn into one Cure song after another!
Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!
He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl...
Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...
Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...
She sings a song and
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled
Summer.... oh...
Oh.... the summertime rolls

Crazy how you make it all alright love
Crush me with the things you do
And I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high
And in this moment it feels so right
Lovely lady
I am at your feet
God I want you so badly
And I wonder this
Could tomorrow be
So wondrous as you there sleeping
Let's go drive 'till morning comes
And watch the sunrise and fill our souls up
Drink some wine 'till we get drunk
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
And here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
And is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
Won't spill a drop, no, I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on, oh yeah
It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
And here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming
Lovely lady
I will treat you sweetly
Adore you I mean you crush me
And it's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know how I love you
Come on, Come on
Baby
It's crazy I'm thinking
just as long as you're around
And here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
My love
By love
We'll beat back the pain we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
Each moment the more I love you
Crush me
Come on
Baby
So much you have given love
That I would give you back again and again
Oh my love
Meaning I'll hold you
But please please let me always
For you, the sun will be shining,
And I feel that when Im with you,
Its alright, I know its right
To you, Ill give the world
To you, Ill never be cold
cause I feel that when Im with you,
Its alright, I know its right.
And the songbirds are singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before.
And I wish you all the love in the world,
But most of all, I wish it from myself.
And the songbirds keep singing,
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before.
The Cure - Love Song
Whenever i'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am home again
Whenever i'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever i'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am young again
Whenever i'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am fun again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I am clean again
However far away, I will always love you
However long I stay, I will always love you
Whatever words I say, I will always love you
I will always love you
I don't wanna think, I wanna feel

I love this song so much.
i want you between me and the feeling i get when i miss you
everything here is telling me i should be fine.
so why is it so, above as below,
that i'm missing you every time?
i got used to you whispering things to me into the evening,
we followed the sun's colours and left this world.
it seems to me that i'm definitely
hearing the best that i've heard.
so throw me a rope to hold me in place
show me a clock for counting my days down.
cos everything's easier when you're beside me,
come back and find me cos i feel alone.
and whenever you go it's like holding my breath underwater
i have to admit that i kinda like it when i do.
i've got to be, unconditionally,
unafraid of my days without you.
so throw me a rope to hold me in place
show me a clock for counting my days down.
cos everything's easier when you're beside me,
come back and find me...
whenever i'm falling you're always behind me,
come back and find me...
cos everything's easier when you're beside me,
come back and find me cos i feel alone.
'Everything' by Ben Harper
behind all of your tears,
there's a smile, there's a smile.
behind all of the rain
there's a sunshine for miles and miles.
everything
everything
you mean everything
you mean everything
everything to me
the colours of your garden
they're yellow, blue and green.
and the sound of your sweet voice
it's better than all my dreams.
everything
everything
you mean everything
you mean everything
everything to me
you're my first thought in the morning
when i rise, oh, when i rise.
and you're my last thought in the evening
when i rest my head at night.
everything
everything
you mean everything
you mean everything
everything to me.

"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
I wont ask you where you're goin.
I wont ask you where you been.
I know after a million times you get sick of all my lines,
but I just wanna see you safe again.
Hopefully it occurs to me that there's one thing I cant stand.
That's the thought of a single day, without your head in my hand.
I know that just now I aint been showin,
the kind of love you know that I can.
So gimmie a little time and you'll be knowin your good lovin
baby is back on top again.
I always hoped you'd be showin,
and now you've shown as much as you can.
But after each time im still glowin
with a good lovin smile that's yours until the end.
This song is sweet. I've played it a million times. Get the version from "Acoustic Citsouca"
There are places i'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends i still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life i've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When i think of love as something new
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
Though i know i'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i'll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
In my life i love you more
Byzantine... is reflected in our pond...
There's a cloud,... but the water remains calm...
Reaching in,... the sun's fingers clutch the dawn to pass...
Even out,... it's a precious thing to bear...
We used it for our first dance at our wedding.
LOL! i love your new location!!!
so let's cut the conversation
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close to your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
