I love Lyrics!

Uncle Kracker In a little While


Heres to the good life or so they say
All those parties and games that all those people play
They tell me this is the place to be
All these beautiful people and nothin to see

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I dont belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

[chorus]

In a little while Ill be thinkin about you
In a little while Ill still be here without you
You never gave me a reason to doubt you
In a little while Ill be thinkin about you baby...Ill be thinkin about you baby

On the other side of a coin
Theres a face theres a memory somewhere that I cant erase
And theres a place that I find someday
But sometimes I feel like its slippin away

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I dont belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

[repeat chorus]

Some things are lost some left behind
Some things are better left for someone else to find
Maybe in time I can finally see
I just wonder, wonder if you think about me

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I dont belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

[repeat chorus]

Here's a good oldie from a great band!


Grand Funk Railroad I'm your Captian



Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
Im your captain, Im your captain,
Although Im feeling mighty sick.

Ive been lost now, days uncounted,
And its months since Ive seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Or am I all alone.

If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth.

Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
To take my ship away from me?

Youd better think about it, I just cant live without it.
So, please dont take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And its tightening, around my throat.
Heaven help me, heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat.

Im your captain, Im your captain,
Although Im feeling mighty sick.
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.

Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Im your captain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Ohhhh ...

Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Im getting closer to my home ...
Repeated to fade

One of the most beautiful and well written songs I have ever heard is Strange And Beautiful by AquaLung (from the Wicker Park soundtrack). It is obvious whoever wrote the lyrics knew what it was like to love someone from afar and felt the pain of knowing the object of their obsession didn't even know they existed. Not to mention, the piano accompaniment is just gorgeous. The lyrics aren't an exact quote but how I personally remember them:

I've been watching your world from afar.
I've been trying to be where you are.
I've been secretly falling apart... unseen.

To me, you're strange and you're beautiful.
You'd be so perfect with me but you just can't see.
You turn every head but you don't see me.

[Chorus]
So I'll put a spell on you.
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
When I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me too.

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first.
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes.
And I know that waiting is all you can do, sometimes...

But I'll put a spell on you.
You'll fall asleep and I'll put a spell on you.
When I wake you I'll be the first thing you see
And you'll realize that you love me too.

Electric Love - Cinderella

When I was down
An angel came to me
And she touched me inside
That woman set me free
Turned on the light
So I could see
That there was fire inside
And I could feel the heat

Shes got the power, she gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That womans got electric love

Ooo, electric love
There aint no medicine
That makes me fly
Like when Im with my sweet woman
She keeps me so satisfied
And if we had no money
Wed still get by
And if the world should stop turnin
Our love would be alive

Shes got the power, she gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That womans got electric love
Look out

Shes got the power, shes gets me high
She can take a storm and make it shine
She keeps the spark burning over time
That womans got electric love

Whoa yeah
She gets me high, so high
Ooo yeah, she makes the stars shine
Burning all the time
That womans got electric love

Electric love
Electric love
Shes got the fire
Shes got the fire
Electric love
Electric love
Electric love

 

[RoyalOrleans]

The Beverly Hillbillies Theme, slightly altered.

Come listen to a story about a man named Jed
He had a lot of hair, but it wasn't on his head

Then one day he was looking for some cooze
from up around a corner came a lady and she was nude

Nude that is, with no clothes on

Well the first thing you know ol' Jed's in the bed
Rubbing her **** and pulling her hair

Then comes Granny with a rubber hose
Slams it up Jed's butthole

Butthole that is, real sideways.

Neil Young
Don't Let It Bring You Down
​

Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the allay at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand,
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand,
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain,
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane,
If you're walking home alone.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around.​

Hitch a Ride - Boston

Day is night in new york city
Smoke, like water, runs inside
Steel idle trees to pity
Every living things thats died

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Life is like the coldest winter
People freeze the tears I cry
Words of hail their minds are into
Ive got to crack this ice and fly

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time
Oh yeah

This one's for you RoyalOrleans​

Huey Lewis You crack me Up


Oh my god, I can't believe my eyes
Underneath that ghostly pale is that you
Someone in your shape shouldn't be driving
Someone in your shape shouldn't be doing anything at all

You should see yourself in the mirror
With your leather lips and your snakeskin shoes
Do you have to shout in my ear
Do me a favor, just stop talking for a minute or two

You crack me up, you really really do
With your sunglasses on, acting so young
Only I know what you're really up to
You break me up

No, I don't want to sit in your sports car
No, I don't want to hear a tune
All the locals say you'll go far
That's so funny; they don't know you like I do

You crack me up
you twisted wreck
Shouding in the parking lot, think you'll give it one more shot
Better hope they'll cash a check
You break me up

You better ask yourself a question
Cause you cant live like this for long
You better listen to my suggestion
Before you wind up in somebody else's song

You crack me up, you really really do
With your sunglasses on, acting so young
Only I know what you're really up to
You break me up

You crack me up
You break me up

You crack me up
You break me up

Copenhagen


Chorus
Copenhagen it makes me feel so good.
Copenhagen the way I know it should.
I put a little chew in my mouth,
go spittin' and a-slobberin'
all around the house, that
Copenhagen, it makes me feel so good.

1.
I took a chew just the other night-
it made me feel so fine.
I Grabbed my honey baby
and I pinched her ol' behind.
She said, "you better spit out that
chewin' tobaccer if you wanna kiss
me on the big ol' smacker,
that Copenhagen, it makes me feel so good.

CHORUS

2.
I was sittin' in a bar room
and I took a little dip--
Drinkin' beer & talkin'
but I had no place to spit.
So I spit a stream out on the floor,
and that bouncer flung me out the door,
that Copenhagen, it makes me feel so good.

CHORUS

Recitation

It's a cure all too-
it cures fits, warts, freckles, coughs,
colds, runny nose.
Guaranteed not to rip, run or snag.
Makes conception a wonder and
child birth a pleasure...
That's Copenhagen...

Bad Attitude - Honeymoon Suite

I've got something on my mind,
But the right words are so hard to find
They twist my mind
Grape vines shakin once again
Those nasty little rumours of the boy deepen
Are loose again (not so sure about those lines)

Sliding in the door are the roads we all know
Yesterdays heros with no room to grow
You say you want the money
You want the Big Prize
But they'll cut you
Down to size , with your

BAD ATTITUDE, twisted views
Bad bad attitude
Two can play that game, no one likes to lose, yeah!

What's it like living like you do
Talk talk is cheap talk
So far from the truth
Why do they listen to you
Soon you will fall boy, record shows
Only the stories will turn on you
Best be on your toes

There's such a thing as trust,
Nothing else is the same
When your face is in the ground,
You've only yourself to blame,

You say you want the money
You want the Big Prize
But they'll cut you
Down to size , with your

BAD ATTITUDE, twisted views
Bad bad attitude
It's your Bad Attitude,
No one likes to lose, no one likes to lose
It's your Bad Attitude, twisted views
Bad bad attitude,
Two can play that game, no one likes to lose, yeah!

(guitar solo)

Sliding in the door are the roads we all know
Yesterdays hero's with no room to grow
You say you want the money
You want the Big Prize
But they'll cut you
Down to size , with your

BAD ATTITUDE, twisted views
Bad bad attitude
It's your Bad Attitude,
No one likes to lose, bad bad attitude
It's your Bad Attitude, twisted views
Bad bad attitude,
Two can play that game, no one likes to lose,
It's your Bad Attitude, twisted views
Bad bad attitude,
It's your Bad Attitude,
No one likes to lose, bad bad attitude
It's your bad attitude, twisted views,
Bad bad attitude.

I don't know if this one has already been posted..

Here it goes anyways

Blue Oyster Cult
Don't Fear The Reaper



All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear that she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared (saying don't be afraid)
Come on baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backwards and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)

Against the Wind

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong, we were running
Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
Ive got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Against the wind

Naked as We Came
Iron & Wine

She says wake up it's no use pretending
I'll keep stealing breathing her
Birds are leaving over Autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard

She says if I leave before you darling
Don't you waste me in the ground
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms

Eyes wide open
Naked as we came
One will spread our
Ashes round the yard

Meatloaf I would do anything for Love(but I wont do That)

And I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact

But I'll never forget the way you feel right now--
Oh no--no way--
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that
Anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that

Some days it don't come easy
Some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all
and these are the days that never end


Maybe I'm crazy
But it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me
No one else can save me but you


As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are comming true--
You better believe it!--


That I would to anything for love
And I'll be there until the final act--
I would do anything for love!
And I'll take a vow and seal a pact--


But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way--
Tonight--
I would do anything for love!
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that...


I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that...


Somedays I pray for silence
Somedays I pray for sould
Somedays I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock'N Roll


Some night I lose the feeling
Some nights I lose control
Some night I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls


Maybe I'm lonely
And that's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only
The one and only promise I can keep


As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true--
You better believe it--!


That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and that's a face
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back--


But I'll never do it better than I do it with you
So long--
So long--
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that


I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I won't do that...


But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Every night of my life--
No way--


I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that!


Girl:
Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you get me right out if this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?


Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!


Girl:
Will you hold me sacred?
Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?


Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!


Girl:
Will you make me some magic
With your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?


Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!


Girl:
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water--if I get to hot--?
Will ya take me to places I've never known?


Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!

Girl:
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on


Boy:
I won't do that!
I won't do that!

[Girl:]
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
Sooner or later you'll be screwing around

[Boy:]
I won't do that
No, I won't do that

Anything for love
Oh, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
No, I won't do that

I LOVE that song! Beautiful and intense lyrics.

 

[snafu]

I LOVE that song! Beautiful and intense lyrics.

Yes it's a fantastic song. And I love the last part with Patti Russo.
I just love cranking it up and listing to it. Off course I usally crank up all my music.

 

[KathyA]

This is one of my all time favorite songs..
And then when Kenny Chesney remade it..
Well, lets just say it solidified the deal!


Please come to Boston
For the springtime
I'm stayin' here with some friends
And they've got lots of room
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
By a cafe where I hope to be workin' soon
Please come to Boston
She said no, boy you come home to me

Chorus:
(And) She said, hey ramblin' boy
Why don't you settle down
(Boston, Denver, L.A.) ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold
And there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan
Of the man from Tennessee

Please come to Denver
To see the snowfall
We'll move up into the mountains
So far we can't be found
And throw I love you echos
Down the canyons
And then lie awake at night
Until they come back around
Please come to Denver
She said no boy you come home to me

Repeat Chorus:

Now that drifter's world
Goes round and round
And I doubt if it's ever gonna stop
But of all the dreams
I've lost or found
And all that I ain't got
I need somebody I can cling to
Somebody I can sing to

He said please come to L.A.
To live forever
A California life alone
Is just too hard to build
I live in a house that
Looks out over the ocean
And there's some stars
That fell from the sky
Livin' up on the hill
Please come to L.A.
She said no
Boy, you come home to me

Repeat Chorus

I'm the number one fan
of the Man from Tennessee
