Blue Rose:
Poetry put to music, some are better then others, but what are the lyrics to your favorite (and please don't limit that to one. I have more favorite songs than the day has hours) songs ?


I'll start with one that I really really like and I think fits this forum :)


Dangerous Game - Jekyll and Hyde

Lucy:
I feel your fingers cold on my shoulder
Your chilling touch, as it runs down my spine
Watching your eyes as they invade my soul
Forbidden pleasures I'm afraid to make mine.

At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine
I am out of my mind
I am out of control
Full of feelings I can't define

Hyde: It's a sin with a name
Lucy: Like a hand in a flame
Hyde: And our senses proclaim
Hyde/Lucy: It's a dangerous game

Hyde:
A darker dream, that has no ending
That's so unreal you believe that it's true
A dance of death out of a mystery tale
The frightened princess doesn't know what to do

Will the ghosts go away?
Will she will them to stay?
Either way, there's no way to win

Lucy:
All I know is' I'm lost
And I'm counting the cost
My emotions are in a spin
I don't know who to blame...

Hyde: It's a crime and a shame
Lucy: but it's true all the same
Hyde/Lucy: It's a dangerous game

(Alternating)
No one speaks, not one word
But what words are in our eyes
Silence speaks, loud and clear
All the words we (don't) want to hear

At the touch of your hand
At the sound of your voice
At the moment your eyes meet mine

I am losing my mind
I am losing control
Fighting feelings I can't define

Lucy: It's a sin with a name-
Hyde: No remorse and no shame
              Fire, fury and flame
Lucy: Cos the devil's to blame

Hyde/Lucy:
And the angels proclaim
It's a dangerous game

Lilias:
Lots and lots of favourites. . .  but this is where it all starts:

Broken - Seether featuring Amy Lee

I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph; I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I’m broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away

Blue Rose:
I'm not that Girl - Idina Menzel (from 'Wicked')

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...

Lilias:
Kosheen - Overkill

(Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…)
 
Is it over now
Over something that you overheard
Is it over dramatised
Overcomplicated over here
All your clever talk
Leaves you tongue tied
It's overkill
 
You wanna fix it
With your hands tied
You never will
 
I don't wanna play this game no more
Back and forth and back
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel
Ah is it over now
Oh you'll get over me
Oh you'll get over me
 
Take it easy now
Don't wanna change a thing
Don't want my dirty little feet all over everything
I took my shoes off
So I wouldn't tread
Over the clean sheets wrapped around that dirty bed
Oh believe me
If I wanted to baby I would bury you
I keep my hands clean
Keep my dignity
I leave it all to you
 
I don't wanna play this game no more
Back and forth and back
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel
Ah is it over now
Oh you'll get over me
 
(Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…)
 
I don't wanna play this game no more
Back and forth and back
Is it over now
So tell me how does it feel
Ah is it over now
Oh you'll get over me
 
(Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth…)

Blue Rose:
This song is a bit obscure I am sure. I'm sorry for that, but it sets my moods quite often.
I love to sit and just listen to this song.

This youtube link has english subtitles. I don't quite agree with all of the translation but I'm not about to redo it :)
Le Plat Pays - Jacques Brelpowered by Aeva

Avec la mer du Nord pour dernier terrain vague
Et des vagues de dunes pour arrêter les vagues
Et de vagues rochers que les marées dépassent
Et qui ont à jamais le cœur à marée basse
Avec infiniment de brumes à venir
Avec le vent de l'est écoutez-le tenir
Le plat pays qui est le mien

Avec des cathédrales pour uniques montagnes
Et de noirs clochers comme mâts de cocagne
Où des diables en pierre décrochent les nuages
Avec le fil des jours pour unique voyage
Et des chemins de pluie pour unique bonsoir
Avec le vent d'ouest écoutez-le vouloir
Le plat pays qui est le mien

Avec un ciel si bas qu'un canal s'est perdu
Avec un ciel si bas qu'il fait l'humilité
Avec un ciel si gris qu'un canal s'est pendu
Avec un ciel si gris qu'il faut lui pardonner
Avec le vent du nord qui vient s'écarteler
Avec le vent du nord écoutez-le craquer
Le plat pays qui est le mien

Avec de l'Italie qui descendrait l'Escaut
Avec Frida la Blonde quand elle devient Margot
Quand les fils de novembre nous reviennent en mai
Quand la plaine est fumante et tremble sous juillet
Quand le vent est au rire, quand le vent est au blé
Quand le vent est au sud, écoutez-le chanter
Le plat pays qui est le mien.
