This one is from my favorite musical

One day more
Another day another destiny
This never ending road to Calvary
These men who seem o know my crime
Will surely come a second time
One day more

I did not live until today
How can I live when we are parted

One day more

Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you my world has started

One more day all on my own

Will we ever meet again

One more day with him not caring

I was born to be with you

What a life I might have known

And I swear I will be true

But he never saw me there

One more day before the storm

Do I follow where she goes

At the barricades of freedom

Do I join my brothers there

When our ranks begin to form

Do I stay do I dare

Will you take your place with me

The time is now the day is here

One day more

One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
I will join these little school boys
They will wet themselves in blood

One day more

Watch em run amok
Catch em as they fall
Never know your luck when there's a free for all
Here a little dip
There a little touch
Most of em are goners
So they won't miss much

One day to a new begining

Raise the flag of freedom high

Every man will be a king

Every man will be a King

There's a new world to be winning

There's a new world to be won

Do you hear the people sing

My place is here I fight with you

One day more

I did not live until today

One more day I'm on my own

How can I live when we are parted

I will join these people's heroes
I will follow where they go
I will learn their little secrets
I will know the things they know

Tomorrow you'll be worlds away

What a life I might have known

And yet with you my world has started

One more day to revolution
We will nip it in a bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys

Watch em run amok
Catch em as they fall
Never know your luck when there's a free for all

Tomorrrow we'll be far away
Tomorrow is the judgement day

Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!

Nope! Actually, this is hard. Brand new, just off broadway.

Posted by: nome Jun 16 2004, 04:19 AM

Alrighty... guess nobody's seen it yet. It was a little much to hope for.

HINT: Based on a classic book written by a woman. Romance, obviously.

Posted by: Drie Jun 16 2004, 04:56 PM

I have absolutely no idea. Wicked? But that wasn't written by a woman . . .

Posted by: nome Jun 16 2004, 06:07 PM

Nope. And it's not something you'd think they'd make into a musical, but it's VERY good.

Think Jane Austen-era.





Edited 'cause I can't type.

Oh, I know this one, but I can't think of the name! My last boss thought it was incredible . . . but very sad.

I don't know if we've ever established any rules. The songs were from musical theater, but I just posted one from a movie (which you guessed correctly!). So, up to you if you should decide to post lyrics to a movie or musical play!

Posted by: Jerry Jul 27 2004, 05:12 PM

Can I post lyrics to a song?

If yes, then here it is - one of my favorite songs:

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains...

Posted by: Drie Jul 27 2004, 06:45 PM

Ah, gotta love that song. Sound of Silence is beautifully written and performed. Nice choice!


Hmm, let's see.

QUOTE

Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway With the mission bells And I was thinking to myself, "This could be heaven or this could be hell"

Always a favorite of mine.

Hotel California


Here's another of my favorites"

I am just a poor boy and my story’s seldom told
I’ve squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm.....


You could probably see who is one of my favorite composers by now if you've read this thread...

Posted by: hockeygod Aug 16 2004, 02:56 AM

I believe this is "The Boxer." I also think Simon and Garfunkle are awesome.

Slow down, you move too fast.
You got to make the mornin' last.
Just kickin' down the cobblestones,
Lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy.
Ba da da da da da da, feelin' groovy.

That would be "Feeling Groovy" (Seekers - 59th st. Bridge Song)


"Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer’s near and the time is right
For dancing in the streets
All over the world"

Posted by: Entropy Aug 16 2004, 01:15 PM

'Dancing in the street'. I am not 100 percent sure which singer's version you're quoting, but I know on of my all-time favorite singers did the song... Bowie! (alright, Bowie and Mick Jagger, but still Bowie)

Hmmmm, an easy one since I'm late for work.

"It's a beautiful life, and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
When my life comes crashin' down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin, and I'm doin' it again
And that ain't for all of us "

Posted by: Jerry Aug 16 2004, 03:18 PM

That's 'We Are The Normal', I believe.

"Can you feel it? watching you in the darkness
Touching you like a sickness
Fear is taking control,
The beach head is the street.
In the gutter lies defeat.
Fear is the key to your soul
That makes you dangerous
So dangerous to yourself"

Dangerous Lyrics by The Who

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak what love has done

Posted by: Jerry Aug 23 2004, 08:47 PM

I think it's 'Testify to Love' by Avalon. I'm not really sure, though.

Posted by: hershey Aug 23 2004, 09:25 PM

You are correct again sir. You are on a role, however the artist I prefer is Wynonna.

Sing us a song Jerry!

Posted by: Jerry Aug 23 2004, 10:36 PM

Okay, call me old-fashioned, but I love this song...

"Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass"

Good Luck.

Could that possibly be 'Help!' by those chaps from Liverpool? (The Beatles)

Yes, it most certainly is

and as for yours, I believe it's from "Pass It On" by Coral, if I'm not mistaken.

Hence, if I'm not mistaken:

"Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy.
Old friends,
Memory brushes the same years
Silently sharing the same fears"

I like that better!!!

Okay...let's see.

Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
who I am inside?

I am now in a world where I have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied
To anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I’m asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I’ll get away with it

How about a country song? (I know, really big hint here...)

Well the seasons come, and seasons go.
And the reason you left, guess I'll never know
There will be others, yes I know it's true.
But they won't do you like I did for you.

Strong as a wind across a mountain top
My love is moving and it just won't stop.
I turned you loose, honey I let you fly.
Now all I can do is hang my head and cry.

Hal Ketchum My Love will not change



Try to remember the kind of September
when life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
when you were a tender and callow fellow,
Try to remember and if you remember the follow.

Try to remember when life was so tender
that no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender that
love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember then follow.

Deep in December it's nice to remember
altho you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
without the hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
the fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow

Celine Dion A New Day

This should be easy.

There's forty shillings on the drum,
For those who volunteer to come,
To 'list and fight the foe today,
Over the hills and far away;

Chorus:
Over the hills and o'er the main,
Through Flanders, Portugal, and Spain,
King George commands, and we obey,
Over the hills and far away

When duty calls me I must go,
To 'list and fight another foe,
But part of me will always stay,
Over the hills and far away,

Over the Hills and Far Away

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin' X-Files with no lights on
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic
Like Sting I'm tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay, I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a Samurai
Gonna get a set a' better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
Just so my irons aren't always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

Heh... I love that song. One Week by Barenaked Ladies.

It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon.

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailin'.

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet … I know we'll meet … beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before.

Somewhere, beyond the sea,
Somewhere, waiting for me....
My lover stands on golden sands!
And straight to her arms, I'll go sailing.

Beyond the Sea, Drie. Love that song.

I sit and wait Does an (blank) contemplate my fate And do they know The places where we go When we're grey and old 'cos I have been told That salvation lets their wings unfold So when I'm lying in my bed Thoughts running through my head And I feel the love is dead (blank) (skip a bit) When I'm feeling weak And my pain walks down a one way street I look above And I know I'll always be blessed with love And as the feeling grows She breathes flesh to my bones

Coldplay's Shiver

You're only here once so you got to get it right.
No time to fuss and fight.
'Cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone else's plight.
In time you'll see the light.

is all take and no giving,
there's not much to believe in,
the loudest mouth will hail the new found way
to be king for a day.

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never let's me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be

We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

And now, my tribute to the Jersey hair bands of the 80s:

I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind

When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah I'm a wanted man
I'm colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can

Keep calling and calling

He said I was finally the husband,
That most the time I wasn't.
And I became a friend a friend would like to have.
And all the sudden goin' fishing,
Wasn't such an imposition.
And I went three times that year I lost my dad.
Well I finally read the good book,
And I took a good long hard look at what I'd do
If I could do it all again.
And then.

[Chorus]

Like tomorrow was a gift and you've got eternity
To think about what you do with it,
What could you do with it, what can
I do with with it, what would I do with it.

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight" by Elton John
[/I]They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you hide in here unknown
And your mother loves your father
'Cause she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
'Cause the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying
Nothing changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But your falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
'Cause the world gets in your way
What's the point in all the screaming
You're not listening anyway[I]

I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known, Don't know where it goes, but it's only me and I walk alone, I walk this empty street, on the boulevard of broken dreams, Where the city sleeps, and I'm the only one and I walk alone. I walk alone, I walk alone. I walk alone, I walk alone. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me, My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating, Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me, 'til then I walk alone.

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" by Green Day - great song!


until she comes again
i can hear the things she said
i feel no thoughts to move my head
until she comes again

the sun goes out and night comes in
the time goes round and day grows dim
until she comes again

until she comes again
with all my savings and my sins
there's no good reason to begin
until she comes again

until she comes again
with all her dreams tied in her hand
there is no why to understand
until she comes again
until she comes again
the sun goes out and night comes in
the time goes round
and day grows dim
until she comes again

im by your side

oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me
oh its what you do to me

Come up to meet you, Tell you I’m sorry, You don’t know how lovely you are
I had to find you, Tell you I need you, Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, And ask me your questions, Aww let’s go back to the start
Runnin’ in circles, [sounds like] Comin’ up tails, Heads on the science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Aww take me back to the start

Coldplay's " Scientist"

how about--

Well I fell into prision
At about quarter to three
Where I found in my cell
A glass waiting for me
So I filled what was empty
And pulled up a stool
But he stood ing the corner
The Ol' Devil wouldnt move
He said you drink when your lonely
No I drink when I want
He said youll never be sober
Sure why would I want that?
I only drink to be merry
But unfortunately. . . .
I'm in the wrong prision cell
and the wrong company

"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong 'Cause it is my favorite holiday But all this year's been a busy blur Don't think I have the energy To add to my already mad rush Just 'cause it's 'tis the season. The perfect gift for me would be Completions and connections left from Last year, ski shop, Encounter, most interesting. Had his number but never the time Most of '81 passed along those lines. So deck those halls, trim those trees Raise up cups of Christmas cheer, I just need to catch my breath, Christmas by myself this year. Calendar picture, frozen landscape, Chilled this room for twenty-four days, Evergreens, sparkling snow Get this winter over with! Flashback to springtime, saw him again, Would've been good to go for lunch, Couldn't agree when we were both free, We tried, we said we'd keep in touch. Didn't, of course, 'til summertime, Out to the beach to his boat could I join him? No, this time it was me, Sunburn in the third degree. Now the calendar's just one page And, of course, I am excited Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind Not to do too much about it. (Chorus omitted because it gives the song away) Hardly dashing through the snow Cause I bundled up too tight Last minute have-to-do's A few cards a few calls 'Cause it's r-s-v-p No thanks, no party lights It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax Turned down all of my invites. Last fall I had a night to myself, Same guy called, halloween party, Waited all night for him to show, This time his car wouldn't go, Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late, Trudge on home to celebrate In a quiet way, unwind Doing Christmas right this time. A&P has provided me With the world's smallest turkey Already in the oven, nice and hot Oh damn! Guess what I forgot? So on with the boots, back out in the snow To the only all-night grocery, When what to my wondering eyes should appear In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year! "I'm spending this one alone," he said. "Need a break; this year's been crazy." I said, "Me too, but why are you? You mean you forgot cranberries too?" Then suddenly we laughed and laughed Caught on to what was happening That Christmas magic's brought this tale To a very happy ending! " (Chorus omitted because it gives the song away)

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

The gap that grows between our lives The gap our parents never had Stop those thoughts control your mind Replace the things that you despise Oh you’re old I hear you say It doesn’t mean that I don’t care I don’t believe in it anymore Pathetic acts for a worthless cause In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine But now unforgiven the everlasting Everlasting The world is full of refugees They’re just like you and just like me But as people we have a choice To end the void with all it’s force So don’t forget or don’t pretend It’s all the same now in the end It was set in a different life Destroys my days and haunts my nights? In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine In the beginning when we were winning When our smiles were genuine But now unforgiving the everlasting Everlasting Now unforgiving, the everlasting Everlasting

Yoda, could we get a hint?

Posted by: Yoda Sep 18 2005, 06:30 PM

Clue 1: Welsh Band
Clue 2: The disappearance of one of the band members is a great mystery, and has never been solved.
Clue 3: The lyrics above are all the lyrics in the song, so the title's in there somewhere

yoda,

Thanks for your hints Yoda! #3 helped me, so I Googled it (sorry! I know that's cheating...) and I came up with: MANIC STREET PREACHERS - The Everlasting.


Am I correct?

Lightning Crashes by Live

Ira Hayes,
Ira Hayes

CHORUS:
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

Gather round me people there's a story I would tell
About a brave young Indian you should remember well
From the land of the Pima Indian
A proud and noble band
Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land

Down the ditches for a thousand years
The water grew Ira's peoples' crops
'Till the white man stole the water rights
And the sparklin' water stopped

Now Ira's folks were hungry
And their land grew crops of weeds
When war came, Ira volunteered
And forgot the white man's greed

CHORUS:
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war
There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,
Two hundred and fifty men
But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again

And when the fight was over
And when Old Glory raised
Among the men who held it high
Was the Indian, Ira Hayes

CHORUS:
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war
Ira returned a hero
Celebrated through the land
He was wined and speeched and honored;
Everybody shook his hand

But he was just a Pima Indian
No water, no crops, no chance
At home nobody cared what Ira'd done
And when did the Indians dance

CHORUS:
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war
Then Ira started drinkin' hard;
Jail was often his home
They'd let him raise the flag and lower it
like you'd throw a dog a bone!

He died drunk one mornin'
Alone in the land he fought to save
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch
Was a grave for Ira Hayes

CHORUS:
Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war
Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes
But his land is just as dry
And his ghost is lyin' thirsty
In the ditch where Ira died

I forgot that I need to post a song. Because it'll be really easy, I'm going to give one line.

"In the town where I was born..."

*whistles along to 'Yellow Submarine' by The Beatles* Superb choice!

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

Firefly Theme

(My roommate and I watch it sometimes. Awesome show! )

"I wanna be your kingpin, living in Pekin.
I wanna be your bigwig, living in Pekin.
I caught the flu and away I flew.
N.Y.C., pediate blue.
Dimeatap, and spinal tap, a-city maps, and hand claps.
Statue of liberty play, it only works once, don't throw it away.
Cause I wanna be your kingpin, living in Pekin
Living in Pekin, livin in....
How can I, how can I give my love to you when I don't know what to do."

Posted by: Yoda Apr 11 2006, 11:42 AM

That'd be 'Kingpin' by Wilco, which I had to cheat to track down but will attempt to find later on to have a listen to.

Here's on that's got me hooked recently, really good instrumentals to it:

A Song for Sad Nikki

Whenever sang my songs,
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words,
Wishing they would be heard,
I saw you smiling at me was it real? Or just my fantasy?
You'd always be there in the corner of this tiny little bar.

My last night here for you,
Same old songs just once more,
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no.
I kinda liked it your way,
How u shyly placed your eyes on me,
Did You ever know that I had mine on you?

*Darling so there you are,
With that look on your face,
As if you're never hurt,
As if you're never down,
Shall I be the one for you?
Who pinches you softly but sure,
If frown is shown then,
I will know that you are no dreamer.

So let me come to you,
Close as I wanna be,
Close enough for me,
To feel your heart beating fast,
And stay there as a whisper,
How I love your peaceful eyes on me,
Did you ever know?
That I had mine on you.

Darling so share with me,
Your love if you had enough,
Or tears if you're holding back,
Or pain if that's what it is,
How can I let you know?
I'm more than the dress and a voice,
Just reach me out then,
You will know that you are not dreaming.

*Darling so there you are,
With that look on your face,
As if you're never hurt,
As if you're never down,
Shall I be the one for you?
Who pinches you softly but sure,
If frown is shown then,
I will know that you are no dreamer.

(in answer to your guess - nope!)

Posted by: Drie May 8 2006, 04:48 PM

Yoda, would that be a song by the wonderful Franz Ferdinand?

Posted by: Yoda May 8 2006, 10:48 PM

'fraid not, here's some further clues:

Album Title (cryptic): A baker's dozen of old thoughts
Number of Band Members: 4
Some Previous Albums (non-cryptic): The Man Who, The Invisible Band

Posted by: Billywig2 Jul 27 2006, 12:05 AM

I know the song, and I can sing it all the way through, but I have no idea who sings it

Posted by: Yoda Jul 27 2006, 09:24 PM

Hmmm... probably didn't help that one of my clues was completely wrong (I shouldn't have put 'baker's dozen', just 'dozen'). The answer was 'Re-Offender' by the band Travis, from the album '12 Memories'.

Seeing as how Billywig can sing it all the way through though, I think that counts - your turn!

Posted by: Billywig2 Jul 28 2006, 03:35 AM

I'll put the whole song, because if you know it, you'll know straight away, and if you don't, it won't come to you.


Every single night, the same arangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still I always feel the strangest strangment
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right
I've been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no-one knows
That I've been going through the motions
Walking through the part
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart
I was always brave and kind of rightious
Now I find I'm wavering
Crawl out of your grave
you'll find this fight just doesn't mean a thing

She aint got that swing

Thanks for noticing!

She does pretty well with things from hell
but lately we can tell
That she's just going through the motions
Faking it somehow

She's not even half the girl she....ow

Will I stay this way forever?
Sleep walk through my life's endeavor

How can i repay...

Whatever!
I don't want to be going through the motions
loosing all my drive I can't even see
if this is really me and i just want to be
Alive!

Posted by: Cristin Jul 28 2006, 09:23 PM

I love this episode of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer! This is from "Once More, With Feeling," right? I'm not sure of the official title - I'm guessing it's "Going Through the Motions" that starts the episode...


Just want to make sure I'm correct before posting the next set of lyrics!

Posted by: Billywig2 Jul 29 2006, 03:50 AM

That's correct!

Posted by: Cristin Jul 29 2006, 05:51 PM

Hooray! I just Tivo'd that episode...

Apparently, it has become habit to post all of the lyrics to a song, so I'll break the habit and only post a stanza. If I post the entire song, it will become very easy to guess!

The Devil Went Down To Georgia by charlie daniels

QUOTE

It's these substandard motels on the (lalalalala) corner of 4th and Fremont Street.
Appealing only because they are just that un-appealing
Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering.
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde,
And the habit of decomposing right before your very (lalalala) eyes.

There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses.
It's sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.

That's 'Beasts of England', from Orwell's 'Animal Farm'


"Tomorrow is another day, the cat's are out to play, to play!
That old rusty space ship wants to sail, into the milky way again,
On a river of red red wine...

Run run run run run, run run run run, run run run run,
Let's have some fun fun fun fun fun, fun fun fun fun. fun fun fun fun fun fun,
We'll drink drink drink drink drink, drink drink drink, drink drink drink,
A toast to the sun sun sun sun sun, sun sun sun sun, sun sun sun sun sun sun..."

The Wine Song

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me

Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper

How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
did you ever know
That I had mine on you

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if your're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

eyes on me by faye wong (yeah for google...)

the things i've done for stupid pride
the me that's never satisfied
the face that's in the mirror when i don't like what i see

this is my theme song ya'll...

The Cowboy in ME by Tim McGraw

Strong and Peaceful, Wise and Brave
Fighting the Fight for the whole world to save
We the people will ceaselessly strive
To keep our great revolution alive
Unfurl the banner, look at the screen
Never before has such glory been seen

Oceania, Oceania, Oceania, 'tis for thee.
Every Deed, Every Thought, 'tis for thee
Every Deed, Every Thought, 'tis for thee
Every Deed, Every Thought, 'tis for thee

Posted by: Billywig2 Jan 28 2007, 10:08 AM

That's from '1984' Don't know what it's called, 'tis for thee', maybe?

ergo, oceanus, maritimus, opacare, matutinis, septentrio, meridies, ocidens et orientis

Or in English:

Therefore, ocean, sea, dusk dawn, north, south, west and east.
