Wichita Lineman: Glen Campbell
"I need you more than want you, and I want you for all time"
Just beautiful.

Hate to be a pedant (not) but this is by the god-like genius that is Jimmy Webb.....

How about:-
I bought you mail order
My plain wrapper baby
Your skin is like vinyl
The perfect companion
You float in my new pool
Deluxe and delightful
Inflatable doll
My role is to serve you
Disposable darling
Can't throw you away now
Immortal and life size
My breath is inside you
I'll dress you up daily
And keep you til death sighs
Inflatable doll
Lover ungratefil
I blew up your body....
but you blew my mind
Roxy Music - In Every Dream Home A Heartache
Personally I prefer a little more warmth in my partners, but still great lyrics.

Queen's "These are the Days of our lives"
Sometimes I get to feelin
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young
Thing seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young
The sun was always shinin - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just dont know
The rest of my lifes been just a show
Those were the days of our lives
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one thing is true
When I look and I find I still love you
You cant turn back the clock you cant turn back the tide
Aint that a shame
Id like to go back one time on a roller coaster ride
When life was just a game
No use in sitting and thinkin on what you did
When you can lay back and enjoy it through your kids
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just dont know
Better sit back and go with the flow
Cos these are the days of our lives
Theyve flown in the swiftness of time
These days are all gone now but some things remain
When I look and I find no change
Those were the days of our lives - yeah
The bad things in life were so few
Those days are all gone now but one things still true
When I look and I find
I still love you
I still love you
So moving, and just so right. When I hear it i feel a mixture of sadness and loss, and pure delight to be alive and have the chance to live my life. Freddie was a god! smile

Also a new one by Guns 'N Roses "Sorry"
You like to hurt me
You know that you do
You like to think
In some way
That it's me
An not you
(But we know that isn't true)
You like to have me
Jump an be god
But I...
Don't want to do it
You don't know why
I won't act the way
You think I should
You thought they'd make me
Behave and submit (submit)
What were you thinking
Cause I don't forget
You don't know why
I won't give in
To hell with the pressure
I'm not cavin' in
You know that I
Got under your skin
You sold your soul
But I won't let you win
You talk too much
You say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you
You've got all the answers
You know everything
Why nobody asked you
'S a mystery to me
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
or not to believe
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You should believe
You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You close your eyes
All well and good
I'll kick your ass
Like I said that I would
You tell them stories they'd rather believe
Use and confuse them
They're numb and naive
Truth is the truth hurts
Don't you agree?
It's harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me
Nobody owes you
Not one goddamn thing
You know where to put your
Just shut up and sing
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
Or not to believe
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You choose to hurt those that love you
An won't see them free
Won't see them free
You choose to hurt those that love you
An won't see them free
You don't need
Anyone else to be
Sorry for you
You've got no heart
You can't see
All that you've done for me
I know the reasons
You tear me apart
I just love the lyrics about the truth is the truth hurts, and itâ€™s harder to live with the truth about you than the lies about me! Cleaver and meaningful words. It's not often a song actually says something that I hadn't considered before.

Billy Bragg Life With The Lions
I hate the arsehole I become
Every time I'm with you
You know you've got me on the run
But let me make it clear to you
It's taken two fools such as we
To make love deaf, dumb and blind
Now you're upset 'cos I can't read your mind love
You're upset Cos I can't read your mind
I hate the arsehole I become
Every time I'm with you
I get the feeling looking in your eyes
That somehow I should forgive you
I know that I'm guilty but I don't know what I've done
You're not about to let me join in the fun are you
You're not about to let me join in the fun
I hate the arsehole I become
Every time I'm with you
I hate the way you try to give me back
All the things I give to you
I know when I leave the room
They say what's up with him
But love is not a game you play to win girl
Love is not a game you play to win
If that face of yours could only talk
The stories it could tell
The chase is always better than the kill, love
The chase is always better than the kill

I love this too - most romantic song i have ever heard!
just maybe having a billy bragg moment ! lol

:lol: :lol:
Billy Bragg must I paint u a picture
It's bad timing and me
We find a lot of things out this way
And there's you
A little black cloud in a dress
The temptation
To take the precious things we have apart
To see how they work
Must be resisted for they never fit together again
If this is rain let it fall on me and drown me
If these are tears let them fall
Chorus:
Must i paint you a picture
About the way that i feel
You know my love for you is strong, girl
You know my love for you is real
It took a short walk and a talk
To change the rules of engagement
While you searched frantically for reverse and them claiming
That virtue never tested is no virtue at all
And so i lost my ignorance
And now the bells across the river chime out your name
I look across to them again
All your friends said come down
It will never fly
And on that imperfect day
We threw it all away
Crisis after crisis, with such intensity
This would never happen if we lived by the sea
Most important decisions in life
Are made between two people in bed
I found that out at my expense
And when i see you
You just turn around and walk away like we never met
Oh we used to be so brave
I dreamt the world stopped turning as we climbed the hill
I dreamt impossible dreams that we were lovers still

just listen to any dylan song

Quote by Witchy
From I think one of the best modern lyricists of our time. The late great Kirsty MaColl, such a sharp, witty observer of humanity.
From A New England
"I loved you then as I love you still
Though I put you on a pedestal you put me on the pill
I don't feel bad about letting you go
I just feel sad about letting you know
Once upon a time at home
I sat beside the telephone
Waiting for someone to pull me through
When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you "
The beyond brilliant Sonny Jim:
"Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts
Can make you feel nothing at all
They'll never remember and they'll never mind
If you're counting the cracks in the wall
They're quick and they're greedy
They never feel guilty
They don't know the meaning of hurt
The boots just go back on
The socks that had stayed on
The next time they see you
They treat you like dirt
The next time they treat you like dirt
Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart
It's all I've got left to me now
I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere
And I'm here for the hell of it now
Some girls play cowboys
And some boys play harder to get
But they're got just the same
They smile and say cheese
They're so eager to please
But they'll never remember your name
The names and the places all change
But don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me
Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell?
I didn't expect you to know me so well
If I learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again
Sometimes I bounce off the wall
And sometimes my head hits the floor
So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy
Oh don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me"

In these shoes:- reminds me of a few ladies here
"I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said "Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock"
I said "In these shoes?
I don't think so"
I said "Honey, let's do it here."So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said "I've got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day."
I said "In these shoes?
No way, Jose"
I said "Honey, let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar a caballo
(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(But the way she dances, it's a scandal)
Then I met an Englishman
"Oh" he said
"Won't you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive."
I said "In these shoes?
I doubt you'd survive."
I said "Honey, let's do it.
Let's stay right here."
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar a caballo
(She doesn't like to walk, she can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(But the way she dances, it's a scandal)"
And coz I'm boring you, finally the amazing
"Dear John"...written during her own marriage break up. The link is a performance by Eddie Reader- a real must hear:

"Oh dear John
I hate to be the one to break the news
But it's concerning me and you
This is the letter no-one ever wants to write
You may not believe me but it's the hardest thing I've ever done
My eyes see other glories
Other dreams and other stories
And I want to live before I die
Dear John
Ten years on
I still dream and we still hesitate
The passion's all but gone
Oh dear John
Seems we have a bad day every day
I want to sleep my life away
This is the letter no-one ever wants to read
And though it hurts like hell
It may be what you need to tell you
I never wanted to be cruel
But I'm so tired of being the strong one
And I don't always have the energy
And you always leave it up to me
Dear John
My eyes have seen the glory
There's more to life than my life story
And I'll probably never find him
But I have to keep on looking
And I'm very very sorry dear John"

Im off to see Billy Bragg in June.
Erm this isnt by him but Billy Joel.
Id rather laff with the sinners
Than cry with the saints.
The sinners have much more fun.
Only the good die young.

This is an old fav. of mine

From 'One Of These Nights' by The Eagles:
"I've been searching for the daughter of the Devil himself, I've been searching for an angel in white, I've been waiting for a woman who's a little of both, I can feel her but she's nowhere in sight"
(A description of my ideal woman lol

)
From 'New Kid In Town' by The Eagles:
"They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along"
From 'If The Kids Are United' by Sham 69:
"You can lie to my face, but not to my heart"
From 'Man Of The World' by Fleetwood Mac:
"I guess I got everything I need, I wouldn't ask for more, but there's no one I'd rather be, but I just wish I had never been born"
From 'Love You Inside And Out' by the Bee Gee's:
You are the reason for my laughter and my sorrow, blow out the candle, I will burn again tomorrow'

"My Mama told me,
When I was young,
Come sit beside me,
My only son....."
Sheer classic Lynyrd Skynyrd.
.

26 Mar 2009

If we are talking Lynyrd Skynyrd, then from 'Freebird'
"If I leave here tomorrow, will you still remember me, for I must be travelling on now, 'cos theres too many places I gotta see'

28 Mar 2009

The following lyrics from Morrissey on 'The more you ignore me the closer i get'
I bear more grudges than lonely high court judges,
when you sleep i will creep into your thoughts like a bad debt that you can't pay, take the easy way and give in, and let me in.

28 Mar 2009

And from kinky afrom by the Happy Mondays -
'Son i'm 30, i only went with your mother coz she's dirty'
sums it up really!

With your best of intentions
You try to give an ocean directions
You think you're giving...
But you're taking my life away
So you came like a missle
Leaving me the whole world in exile
You think you're giving...
But you're taking my life away
Missile - IAMX.
I just love that....

8 Apr 2009

There are so many examples of great lyrics.
REM's "anti-love song", The One I Love is up there, imo.
"This one goes out to The One I Love
This one goes out to the one I left behind
A simple prop to occupy my time
This one goes out to The One I Love"
So simple yet utterly effective at evincing the betrayal in a relationship.
I'll probably add more as I think of them.

Orgasm Addict ......... Buzzcocks
well you tried it just for once found it all right for kicks.
but now you found out that it's a habit that sticks.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
sneaking in the back door with dirty magazines.
now your mother wants to know what all those stains on your jeans.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
uh huh, uh huh, uhhhhh, uhhhhh
you get in a heat, you get in a sulk.
but you still keep a beating your meat to pulp.
and you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
you're a kid cassanova.
you're a no-josep it's a labour of love fucking yourself to death.
orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
uh huh, uhhhhh you're makin' out with school kids, winos and heads of state.
you even made it with the lady, who puts the little plastic bobins on the christmas cakes.
butchers' assistants and bellhops, you've had them all here and there.
children of god and their joy-strings, international women with no body hair.
oooh, so where they're askin' in an alley and your voice ain't steady.
if your sex mechanic's rough you're more than ready.
you're an orgasm addict.
you're an orgasm addict.
johnny want fuckie always and all ways.
he's got the energy, he will remain.
he's an orgasm addict.
he's an orgasm addict.
he's always at it.
he's always at it.
and he's an orgasm addict.
he's an orgasm addict.
rather apt :rascal:
an amazing song

"You used me and abused me, 'til i felt that I wanted to die, You created a need in me, only you can satisfy"
