I love Lyrics!

My favorite stanza of the song...

She gave me crabs here! In my pubes dear!
Holy **** I hate Clementine!
Never again to touch homemade beer!
I ****ing hate Clementine!

The meter is off.
 
hugo said:
How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
But I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.

Phantom said:
I don't remember that stanza.

My question was answered in this segment on Wikipedia:

The verse about the little sister was often left out of folk song books intended for children, presumably because it seemed morally questionable.
 
This song was dedicated by me to Mrs. snafu on our wedding night.​


Jeff Healey Band Angle Eyes


Girl, you're looking, fine tonight,
and every guy has got you in his sights.
What you're doing, with a clown like me,
is surely one of life's little, mysteries

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance,
never even got one second glance
Across a crowded room was close enough,
I could look but I could never touch

So tonight I'll ask, the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

Don't anyone wake me,
if it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing,
ever happened to me

All you fellows, you can look all you like,
but this girl you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight

There's just one more thing that I need to know,
if this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be somethin only you can see,
'cause girl I feel it when you look at me

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?
hey, hey, hey, yeah, awww
 
I've rediscovered Fogerty! Excellent!!

John Fogerty Rock and roll Girls


Sometimes I think life is just a rodeo,
The trick is to ride and make it to the bell.
But there is a place, sweet as you will ever know,
In music and love, and things you never tell.
You see it in their face, secrets on the telephone,
A time out of time, for you and no one else.

Chorus:
Hey let’s go all over the world,
Rock and roll girls, rock and roll girls.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

If I had my way, I’d shuffle off to buffalo;
Sit by the lake, and watch the world go by.
Ladies in the sun, listenin’ to the radio,
Like flowers on the sand, a rainbow in my mind.

Chorus

Yeah, yeah yeah!
 
Deep Purple Space Truckin


Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovey people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealice
We're space truckin' 'round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'
Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And every 'naut would dance and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' 'round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'
The fireball that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, the freak said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They danced around the Borealice
They're space truckin' everyday
Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Let's go space truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space truckin'
Yeah yeah yeah space truckin'
Yeah yeah yeah space truckin'...
 
I am a sensitive artist.
Nobody understands me because I am so deep.
In my work I make allusions to books that nobody else has read,
Music that nobody else has heard,
And art that nobody else has seen.
I can't help it
Because I am so much more intelligent
And well-rounded
Than everyone who surrounds me.

I stopped watching tv when I was six months old
Because it was so boring and stupid
And started reading books
And going to recitals
And art galleries.
I don't go to recitals anymore
Because my hearing is too sensitive
And I don't go to art galleries anymore
Because there are people there
And I can't deal with people
Because they don't understand me.

I stay home
Reading books that are beneath me,
And working on my work,
Which no one understands

I am sensitive...
I am a sensitive artist
 


"Not The Doctor"

I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
hidden in the bottom drawer
I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
Lend me some fresh air
I don't want to be adored for what I
merely represent to you
I don't want to be your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
I don't want to be your mother
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door

Visiting hours are 9 to 5
and if I show up at 10 past 6, well I
already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in
and oh
Mind the empty bottle
with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I
am not the doctor

I don't want to be the sweeper
of the egg shells that you walk upon
And I don't want to be your other half,
I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be your food
or the light from the fridge on your face
at midnight
Hey, what are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue
that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high
and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
a vicarious occasion
Please open the window

Visiting hours are 9 to 5
and if I show up at 10 past 6, well I
already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in
and oh
Mind the empty bottle
with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I
am not the doctor

I don't want to live on someday
when my motto is last week
I don't want to be responsible
for your fractured heart
and it's wounded beat
I don't want to be a substitute
for the smoke you've been inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for

Visiting hours are 9 to 5
and if I show up at 10 past 6, well I
already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in
and oh
Mind the empty bottle
with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I
am not the doctor​
 
Gordon Lightfoot The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald



The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early.

The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.
At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, it's been good t'know ya
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the Gales of November remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!​

River of Deceit - Mad Season

My pain is self-chosen
At least, so The Prophet says
I could either burn
Or cut off my pride and buy some time
A head full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist

The River of Deceit pulls down, oh oh
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

My pain is self-chosen
At least I believe it to be
I could either drown
Or pull off my skin and swim to shore
Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see

The River of Deceit pulls down, yeah
The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down
Down, oh down

The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen
 
John Fogerty Hot rod Heart


Ooh, let's go ridin'
Cruisin' down the open road
We can put the top down
Listen to the radio
Big ol' Buick
And a big ol' sky
Wheels on fire
And I'll tell you why
I got a hot rod heart

Ooh, let's go prowlin'
Sneakin' like we used to do
Way back in the country
Cut across the cornfields too
Big ol' Harley
And a big ol' moon
Big ol' 'gator
Puttin' on the zoom
I got a hot rod heart

Chorus:

Got a one-way ticket to the open road
Come on
Got a red line engine
And I'm rarin' to go
Put the pedal to the metal
If you want to ride
If you want to ride
Let's go

Ooh, let's go ridin'
Rollin' down the open road
We can put the top down
Listen to the radio
Big ol' Buick
And a big ol' sky
Wheels on fire
And I'll tell you why
I got a hot rod heart​
 
Elton John Nikita

Hey Nikita is it cold
In your little corner of the world
You could roll around the globe
And never find a warmer soul to know

Oh I saw you by the wall
Ten of your tin soldiers in a row
With eyes that looked like ice on fire
The human heart a captive in the snow

Oh Nikita You will never know anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so
Oh Nikita is the other side of any given line in time
Counting ten tin soldiers in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never know

Do you ever dream of me
Do you ever see the letters that I write
When you look up through the wire
Nikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a time
Guns and gates no longer hold you in
And if you're free to make a choice
Just look towards the west and find a friend​

Studies have shown that we like sheep are prone
To sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
But don't be sympathetic, just pass the anaesthetic
'Cuz sheep are benign and on the young we will dine
Burn her pale blue shroud, and tread on her bones
The din of the boys club crowd, reveals we've always been clones
Oh this being true you know there's more than just two
In the cards are four aces so turn and shoot at twelve paces
Studies have shown that we like sheep are prone
To sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
But don't be sympathetic, just pass the antisthetic
'Cuz sheep are benign and on the young we will dine
Burn her pale blue shroud, and tread on her bones
The din of the boys club crowd, reveals we've always been clones
Oh this being true you know there's more than just two
So tie up your laces for the gene pool race of races

I love this Austrian... Bless the fortunate coupling of Swing and fiddle!

Nena 99 Red Balloons



You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got.
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone.
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, Something's out there.
Floating in the summer sky.
99 red balloons go by.

99 red balloons.
floating in the summer sky.
Panic bells, it's red alert.
There's something here from somewhere else.
The war machine springs to life.
Opens up one eager eye.
Focusing it on the sky.
Where 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street.
99 ministers meet.
To worry, worry, super-scurry.
Call the troops out in a hurry.
This is what we've waited for.
This is it boys, this is war.
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Knights of the air
Ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a superhero.
Everyone's a Captain Kirk.
With orders to identify.
To clarify and classify.
Scramble in the summer sky.
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 dreams I have had.
In every one a red balloon.
It's all over and I'm standing pretty.
In this dust that was a city.
If I could find a souvenier.
Just to prove the world was here.
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.
 
That ****in song annoyed the crap outta me, snaf~U.

Here's Neil Diamond's "Evermore".

Have we come this far
To have gone astray
I’ve been lost before
But not lost this way
You and me, thought we'd be, evermore

Do I know you
Did I ever
Thought I did
Now I know better
Saw the signs but not the danger
How'd you get to be a stranger at my door

Promises got left behind and reason fell between the lines
The words unsaid, we should have spoken
Both mislead and left us broken evermore

Have we said, it all
Is there more, to say
Thought we paid our dues
Is there more to pay
What's to be, of you and me, evermore

Was it love or just illusion
All I see is our confusion
Came upon us, unsuspecting
Here we are reflecting on the lest of it

If you think, of me, in a year, or two
Find that photograph, showin' me with you
What you see, is what should be, evermore

Why, tell me why, don't know why, oh why
Where's the truth we took for granted
Walking out 's not how we planned it
Played it loose but stayed together
Thought we had the truth, but never knew the score

If it’s done for now, and it’s time to go
There’s one thing unsaid, thought you’d want to know
Love you still, guess I will, evermore
Love you still, yes I will, evermore
