Lyrics of the moment

“Do you remember lying in bed
With your covers pulled up over your head?
Radio playin’ so one can see
We need change, we need it fast
Before rock’s just part of the past
‘Cause lately it all sounds the same to me”
- The Ramones

Hard cover books and silver frames
Because they're gone we drink your parents' bar
Three am not many cars
We go walking down the avenue
Doing anything that makes us laugh
Do it but it's a stupid thing to do
I won't argue
Let the fight do the fighting
Let the right do the righting now
I can't have you even as an enemy
Not everything is allowed
You're gonna wish that it was done
You're gonna wish that you were young again
You're gonna wish that is was fun
You're gonna want to have someone again
See what lands we have become
Flat horizons everyday
I won't argue
Let the fight do the fighting
Let the right do the righting now
I can't have you even as an enemy
Not everything is allowed
I won't argue
Let the fight do the fighting
Let the right do the righting now
I can't have you even as an enemy
Not everything is allowed
I won't argue
Let the fight do the fighting
Let the right do the righting now
I can't have you even as an enemy
Not everything is allowed"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was one as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will fold into the mystic
When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will fold into the mystic ...*********************************************************************************************0 -

Ahh, one of my all time favorite songs. I love playing and singing this one.
I save it for special shows though cause I tend to get a bit emotional when I perform this one.
Good choice mikalina.Peace, Love.

Hi Steve :wave:

Praying For Rain Lyrics
A big sun setting on the fields, I can't sleep on this tractor wheel
put my seed into the earth, they never tell me just what it's worth
I'm praying for the rain, the open sky will seal my veins
when every farmer has made his grain, I'm praying for the rain,
I'm still praying
the road was clear the night was too, and that's how I remember you
I hop a fence, I make my bed, but I can't make you leave my head
I'm praying for the rain, just to wash away this pain
another headlight through my brain, I'm praying for the rain,
I'm still praying
now all my words have headed north, they rode a taxi or took a horse
the way i loved you was all in vain, I'm still praying for the rain
I'm praying for the rain, beat the drum till I'm insane
give the next dance craze a name, I'm praying for the rain,
I'm still praying0 -
Come here my love
This feeling has me spellbound
Yet the storyline, in paragraphs, laid down the same
In fathoms of my inner mind
I'm mystified, oh, by this mood
This melancholy feeling that just don't do no good
Come here my love
And I will lift my spirits high for you
I'd like to fly away and spend a day or two
Just contemplating the fields and leaves and talking about nothing
Just layin' down in shades of effervescent, effervescent odors
And shades of time and tide
And flowing through
Become enraptured by the sights and sounds in intrigue of nature's beauty
Come along with me
And take it all in&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives if there's none to lend us a hand ...
I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away
Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it .....
Games people play in the middle of the night .....
I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away ...

I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love....
Straight talk, give me the straight talk ....
Tell me what's on your mind if it ain't love
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love
Scared now, what are you scared of?
Afraid I might fall on my knees and break down?....
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing
I'm not gonna beg you for your love ....
Don't you think you can take me for a pretty little ride ....
I know "once upon a time" and "ever after" is a lie ....
I'm not gonna beg
I'm not gonna beg
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing at all
There's nothing I want from you ...
Nothing you can say or do
There is nothing I want for you say anyway ....
I'm not gonna beg you for nothing ...
Hell NO....*********************************************************************************************0 -
Love somebody
Save their soul
Tie them to your heaven
Erase their hell ....*********************************************************************************************0 -
Song for a good morning-->
We're falling up, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're falling up, oh, oh, oh, oh
We're falling up, hey
We're falling up, oh waouh
Try to remember
Try to remember
Try to remember&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
"Ironic"
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out0 -
Ophelia was a bride of god
A novice Carmelite
In sister cells the cloister bells
Tolled on her wedding night
Ophelia was a rebel girl
A blue stocking suffragette
Who remedied society
Between her cigarettes
Ophelia was a sweetheart
To the nation over night
Curvaceous thighs
Vivacious eyes
Love was at first sight...
Ophelia was a demigoddess
In pre war Babylon
So statuesque a silhouette
In black satin evening gowns
Ophelia was the mistress to a
Vegas gambling man
Signora Ophelia Maraschina
Mafia courtesan
Ophelia was a circus queen
The female cannonball
Projected through five flaming hoops
To wild and shocked applause...
Ophelia was a tempest, cyclone
A god damned hurricane
Your common sense
Your best defense
Lay wasted and in vain
Ophelia'd know your every woe
And pain you'd ever had
She'd sympathize
And dry your eyes
And help you to forget......
Ophelia's mind went wandering
You'd wonder where she'd gone
Through secret doors
Down corridors
She'd wander them alone
All alone...*********************************************************************************************0 -
A song for Friday.
If they tell me that the bees
Don't make honey anymore
Then what am I supposed to tell you
And if they tell me that the ocean
Is tired of her shores
Then tell me
What am I supposed to tell you
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
When I can't tell you anything
But the truth
What happens to an eagle's nest in a storm
How does the mama
Keep the baby warm
What if the wind
Is telling us that its time
And what if we're not ready to fly
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
I can't tell you anything
But the truth
Tree tops they touch the ground
In the morning walk with no sound
Hear no birds, hear no planes
Through the mud, feel the clay
Build it up, make it sing
Make it strong, give it wings
But I can't tell you anything
But the truth
Buth I can't tell you anything
But the truth
[x2]
What is this place?
Who am I?
Why did we come here?
[x2]
I don't know I don't know
But I don't know
That we're meant to know&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
One Sweet World
Nine planets round the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much do we take for granted
So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in the mother's arms
For here we can rest safely
If green should slip to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat
If the mountains crumble away
And the river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet
Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we will rest safely
One sweet world
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
In her breath I'm swimming
And here we will rest in peace.&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
I built my house from barley rice
Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood, windows of light
And everything emptying into white
A simple garden with acres of sky
A brown haired dogmouse if one dropped by
Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night
With everything emptying into white&&&&&&&&&&&&&&0 -
"now I long to feel the touch from your lust""I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0

"you said that I was your best friend and I could tell you anything""I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0

"Folks don't change, they just reveal...
So, take me as i am or leave me the way you found me.""I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0 -
"Do you watch me from the corner of your eye? Do we say goodbye?
I waited in the wings for you to appear but you're never coming back, it's never gonna feel like we did.
I waited all night, I tried to let you go like a shadow in the light, the light.
Do I wait?
Do I wait for you?
Do I wait?
Do I wait for you?
Do I wait here forever for you? Did you ask me to?""I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"0
