Title: Lyrics Post by: Blue Rose on January 30, 2009, 07:02:05 AM 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 Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: Lilias on January 30, 2009, 07:31:14 AM 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 Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: Blue Rose on February 02, 2009, 08:00:22 AM 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... Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: Lilias on February 04, 2009, 07:47:55 AM 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…) Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: Blue Rose on February 08, 2009, 01:00:44 PM 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 Brel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f3pHFTqUCs) 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. Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: Kalen on February 10, 2009, 04:16:58 PM In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord Ive been waiting for this moment, all my life, oh lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand Ive seen your face before my friend But I dont know if you know who I am Well, I was there and I saw what you did I saw it with my own two eyes So you can wipe off the grin, I know where youve been Its all been a pack of lies And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord Ive been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord And Ive been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord, oh lord Well I remember, I remember dont worry How could I ever forget, its the first time, the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you dont fool me The hurt doesnt show; but the pain still grows Its no stranger to you or me And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord...

O.A.R. (Of A Revolution) Shattered (http://www.youtube.com/v/XdVYPf4TbMY&hl=en&fs=1) In a way, I need a change From this burnout scene Another time, another town Another everything But it's always back to you Stumble out, in the night From the pouring rain Made the block, sat and thought There's more I need It's always back to you But I'm good without ya Yeah, I'm good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around Give me a break let me make my own pattern All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered I always turn the car around I had no idea that the night Would take so damn long Took it out, on the street While the rain still falls Push me back to you But I'm good without ya Yeah, I'm good without you Yeah, yeah, yeah How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around Give me a break let me make my own pattern All that it takes is some time but I'm shattered I always turn the car around Give it up, give it up, baby Give it up, give it up, now Now How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around All that I feel is the realness I'm faking Taking my time but it's time that I'm wasting Always turn the car around How many times can I break till I shatter? Over the line can't define what I'm after I always turn the car around Don't wanna turn that car around I gotta turn this thing around . Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: NikitaFirestar on February 14, 2009, 05:43:05 AM Sober, by Pink I don't wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest Or the girl who never wants to be alone I don't wanna be that call at four o'clock in the morning 'Cause I'm the only one you know in the world that won't be home Aahh, the sun is blinding I stayed up again Oohh, I am finding That's not the way I want my story to end I'm safe Up high Nothing can touch me But why do I feel this party's over? No pain Inside You're my protection But how do I feel this good sober? I don't wanna be the girl who has to fill the silence... The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth Please don't tell me that we had that conversation When I won't remember, save your breath, 'cause what's the use? Aahh, the night is calling And it whispers to me softly, "come and play" Aahh, I am falling And if I let myself go, I'm the only one to blame I'm safe Up high Nothing can touch me But why do I feel this party's over? No pain Inside You're like perfection But how do I feel this good sober? I'm comin' down Comin' down Comin' down Spinnin' round Spinnin' round Spinnin' round Looking for myself.. Sober Comin' down Comin' down Comin' down Spinnin' round Spinnin' round Spinnin' round Looking for myself.. Sober When it's good, then it's good, it's so good, 'till it goes bad Till you're trying to find the you that you once had I have heard myself cry Never again Broken down in agony And just trying to find a friend I'm safe Up high Nothing can touch me But why do I feel this party's over? No pain Inside You're like perfection But how do I feel this good sober? I'm safe Up high Nothing can touch me But why do I feel this party's over? No pain Inside You're like perfection But how do I feel this good sober? How do I feel this good sober? Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: Blue Rose on February 22, 2009, 09:41:12 AM A Gentleman's Excuse Me - Fish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAKABsZr6i8)
Do you still keep paper flowers in the bottom drawer with your Belgian lace taking them out every year to watch the colors fade away? Do you still believe in fairy tales, in battlements of shining castles Safe from the dragons that lie beneath the hill? Are you still a Russian princess rescued by a gypsy dancer To anyone who'll listen is that a story you tell? You live a life of fantasy, your diary romantic fiction. Can't you see it's hard for me, can you see what I am trying to say? It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take on step to the side. Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing? For every one step forward we're taking two steps back. Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing? I know you still like old fashioned waltzes Your reflection in the mirror that you flirt with as you glide across the floor. But if I told you the music's over would you want to hear That your dance card is empty that there's no-one really there? Do you still believe in Santa Claus, that there's a millionaire looking at your front door with a key to a life that you'd never understand? All I have to offer is the love that I have, it's freely given You'll see it's value when you see what I've tried to say. It's a gentleman's excuse me so I'll take on step to the side. Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing? For every one step forward I'm taking two steps back. Can you get it in your head that from this one step forward there's no turning back? Can you get it in your head I'm tired of dancing? We're finished dancing. Title: Re: Lyrics Post by: Lilias on February 25, 2009, 11:19:32 AM When you're a long way from the old familiar mine or mountain, when you're lost among strangers, when you're just a great big aching nothingness inside… only then can you really sing hole. (Terry Pratchett, Soul Music)
This is singing hole for me right now. Don't ask why. Keane - Spiralling I'm waiting for my moment to come I'm waiting for the movie to begin I'm waiting for a revelation I'm waiting for someone to count me in 'Cause now I only see my dreams In everything I touch Feel their cold hands On everything that I love Cold like some Magnificent skyline Out of my reach But always in my eyeline now We're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling I fashioned you from jewels and stone I made you in the image of myself I gave you everything you wanted So you would never know anything else But every time I reach for you You slip through my fingers Into cold sunlight Laughing at the things that I had planned The map of my world gets Smaller as I sit here Pulling at the loose threads now We're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling Did you wanna be a winner? Did you wanna be an icon? Did you wanna be famous? Did you wanna be the president? Did you wanna start a war? Did you wanna have a family? Did you wanna be in love? Did you wanna be in love? When we fall in love We're just falling In love with ourselves We're spiralling We're tumbling down We're spiralling Tied up to the ground We're spiralling |
