Lyrically Getting to Know You

[Darkflower]

Good Lovin' Ain't Easy (To Come By)--Marvin Gaye & Tami Terrell

An interesting fact about this song: Tami Terrell was dying of brain cancer when this song was recorded. Valerie Simpson stepped in to finish the vocals.

Wow. That is a poignant anecdote. I didn't know that.


"Now don't hang on.
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
It slips away,
And all your money won't another minute buy."

Kansas
Dust In The Wind


"Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say

(Refrain)

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say


(Refrain)


Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
The center lights around your vanity
But surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more!


Kansas
Carry On My Wayward Son

"It's My life, it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just wanna live while I am alive"

Good song

"Gold dust at my feet,
"On the sunny side of the street...."

 

[TickTockMan]

How do you tell an angel
That you dont believe in God?
Why do I feel
Like such a stranger
I look around
I look around
And all my friends are gone

from "Angel" by Blue October

 

[EwanSF]

What a beautiful day,
I'm the king of all time,
And nothing is impossible,
In my all powerful mind.

[MJEH89]

Love, soft as an easy chair
Love, fresh as the morning air
One love that is shared by two
I have found with you

Like a rose under the April snow,
I was always certain love would grow
Love ageless and evergreen
Seldom seen by two

You and I will make each night a first
Every day a beginning
Spirits rise and their dance is unrehearsed
They warm and excite us, cause we have the brightest love

Two lives that shine as one
Morning glory and midnight sun
Time we've learned to sail above
Time won't change the meaning of one love
Ageless and ever, evergreen

"Evergreen" by Barbra Streisand

**Queen, All Dead, All Dead

All dead all dead
All the dreams we had
And I wonder why I still live on
All dead all dead
And alone Im spared
My sweeter half instead
All dead
And gone
All dead...

**genesis, Cuckoo Cocoon

Theres nothing I can recognise; this is nowhere that Ive known.
With no sign of life at all, I guess that Im alone,
And I feel so secure that I know this cant be real but I feel good.
Cuckoo cocoon have I come to, too soon for you?

**genesis, Afterglow

Like the dust that settles all around me
I must find a new home
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter
Are all as one to me now

But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before
I miss you more

Than the sun reflecting off my pillow
Bringing the warmth of new life
And the sounds that echoed all around me
I caught a glimpse of in the night
But now, now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one

And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
I a world I used to know before
For now I've lost everything
I give to you my soul
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none
I miss you more

etc

 

[LoveIsNow]

From the "Mary Martin" Peter Pan, by Carolyn Leigh:

"If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up,
Never grow up,
Never grow up
Not me!"

 

[Thanatos]

Quite a few from '80s and early '90s...

Feel the breeze deep on the inside,
Look you down into you well
If you can, you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance
Like all dreamers can't find another way
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day

Don't save a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after

Duran Duran - save a prayer


I blame you for the moonlit sky
and the dream that died
with the eagles flight
Blame you for the moonlit nights
when I wonder why
are the seas still dry?
Don't blame this sleeping satellite

Tasmin Archer - sleeping satellite


We share the same biology
regardless of ideology.
But what might save us, me and you,
is if the Russians love their children too.

Sting - Russians


Come se fosse facile
convincersi
a non ridere troppo di sé
(As it could be easy
to convince ourself
to not fool ourself around so much - hope my translation works)

Fiorella Mannoia - Lunaspina

"I hear Rosetta singing in the night
Echoes of light that shine like stars after they've gone
And tonight she's my guide as I go on alone
With the music.... Up above"

'Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us'
Robert Plant & Allison Krauss

 

[TickTockMan]

From the "Mary Martin" Peter Pan, by Carolyn Leigh:

"If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up,
Never grow up,
Never grow up
Not me!"

More people should feel that way.

 

[belamy]

Although actually when I first heard that as a kid I didn't know much English

 

[Joshua_me]

Don't save a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after
No, don't say a prayer for me now,
Save it 'til the morning after

Duran Duran - save a prayer

Sting - Russians

Wow We share the same taste.

I LUV 'Russians'. Such a beautiful, haunting melody. Same for 'Save a Prayer'.

(They're possibly about the same topic)

You gotta be bad
You gotta be bold
You gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard
You gotta be tough
You gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool
You gotta be calm

[MrWright]

Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me;
'Lady Peaceful,' 'Lady Happy,'
That's what I long to be
All the odds are in my favor
Something's bound to begin
It's got to happen, happen sometime
Maybe this time I'll win

and


Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constant in the darkness
Wheres that at?
If you want me Ill be in the bar

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
And your face sketched on it twice

Two of my favorite songs.

 

[Kanemahu]

Pretty much the whole song, but this these two verses especially:

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

Creep - Radiohead

Placebo - Jackie

Jackie left on a cold dark night, telling me he'd be home.
Sailed the seas for a hundred years, and left me all alone.
Now I've been dead for twenty years, I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears,
Searching the shore, for my Jackie O.

And I remember the day that the young man came, said you're Jackie's gone, he's lost in the rain.
And that ranted beach, laid me down.
You're all wrong I said, as they stared to the sand, that man knows the sea like the back of his hand.
He'll be back sometime, laughing at you.

Well I've been waiting all this time, for my man to come take his hand in mine.
And lead me away, to unseen shores.
I've been washing the sand with my salty tears, searching the shore these long years.
And I walk the sea, forever more. Til I find my Jackie O.

I can imagine someone could've been disturbed when a friend we had in common told him I was on H, and not doing too good.
