Hazy Shade of Winter


Bangles

(Simon and Garfunkle cover)

Time, time, time

See whats become of me

Time, time, time

See whats become of me

While I looked around

For my possibilities

I was so hard to please

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky

Is a hazy shade of winter

Hear the salvation army band

Down by the riverside

Its bound to be a better ride

Than what youve got planned

Carry a cup in your hand

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky

Is a hazy shade of winter

Hang on to your hopes my friend

Thats an easy thing to say

But if your hopes should pass away

Simply pretend

That you can build them again

Look around

Grass is high

Fields are ripe

Its the springtime of my life

Seasons change with the scenery

Weaving time in a tapestry

Wont you stop and remember me

Look around

Leaves are brown

And the sky

Its a hazy shade of winter

Look around

Leaves are brown

Theres a patch of snow on the ground

Meow... purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Bungle in the Jungle


Jethro Tull

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments ---

Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents

Down by the waterhole --- drunk every friday ---

Eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for sunday.

Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows ---

They're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.

Lets bungle in the jungle --- well, thats all right by me.

I'm a tiger when I want love,

But I'm a snake if we disagree.

Just say a word and the boys will be right there:


With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.


Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?


Thunder and lightning couldnt be bolder.


I'll write on your tombstone, ``I thank you for dinner.


This game that we animals play is a winner.




Lets bungle in the jungle --- well, thats all right by me.

I'm a tiger when I want love,

But I'm a snake if we disagree.

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties

And he who made kittens put snakes in the grass.

Hes a lover of life but a player of pawns ---

Yes, the king on his sunset lies waiting for dawn

To light up his jungle

As play is resumed.

The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

This thread should be renamed, " We need a VIDEO post...", because everyone (present company included) posts a YouTube video along with the song lyrics. Which at first, I thought was neat because we have the ability to post a video from that site. I have since changed my mind. Not flip-flopping, just rationalizing the situation.

Now my thinking is, why are we posting videos in a lyrics post? I now feel as though a video, even if it is by the original artist, takes away something personal and/or unique from the song's lyrics.

There is one that was supposed to be for music videos. It was made after someone posted the video for "Frankenstein" on here, and it doesn't have any lyrics and I made a joke about it.

Hold the Line


Toto

Its not in the way that you hold me, its not in the way you say you care

Its not in the way youve been treating my friends

Its not in the way that you stayed till the end

Its not in the way you look or the things that you say that youll do

Hold the line, love isnt always on time, oh oh oh

Hold the line, love isnt always on time, oh oh oh

Its not in the words that you told me, girl

Its not in the way you say youre mine, ooh

Its not in the way that you came back to me

Its not in the way that your love set me free

Its not in the way you look or the things that you say that youll do

Its not in the words that you told me

Its not in the way you say youre mine, ooh

Its not in the way that you came back to me

Its not in the way that your love set me free

Its not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

love isnt always on time

Hold the line, love isnt always on time -

Love isnt always, love isnt always on time

Hold the line, love isnt always on time, love isnt always on time

Love isnt always on time, love isnt always on time, oh oh oh

Telephone Line


ELO

Hello--how are you

Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,

Thats what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,

If you'd pick up that telephone.

Hey--how you feelin

Are you still the same

Dont you realize the things we did were all for real not a dream,

I just cant believe

They've all faded out of view.

I look into the sky

(the love you need aint gonna see you through.)

And I wonder why

(the little things are finally coming true.)

Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

O.k. so no--ones answering,

Well can't you just let it ring a little longer

I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night

Let it ring for evermore.

Led Zep

Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move

Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove.

Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing

Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.

Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way

Watch your honey drip, cant keep away.

ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah., ah yeah, ah yeah, ah, ah, ah.

I gotta roll, cant stand still,

Got a flame in my heart, cant get my fill,

Eyes that shine burning red,

Dreams of you all thru my head.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby,

Tell me what you do me now.

(repeat)

Didnt take too long fore I found out

What people mean my down and out.

Spent my money, took my car,

Started tellin her friends she wants to be a star.

I dont know but I been told

A big legged woman aint got no soul.

chorus

All I ask for when I pray,

Steady rollin woman gonna come my way.

Need a woman gonna hold my hand

And tell me no lies, make me a happy man.

When I created it the first time my intentions were to come up with songs with profound lyrics. Now it's getting inundated with youtube video's. And so much that I'm sure nobody goes through them all. That's why I only try to post one at a time (wez) and not that often.

I think it's OK to post a video to accompany the song lyrics, but the key word is, "accompany". The lyrics should be first and formost. IMO

Heart shaped Box

Stray Cat Strut


Stray Cats

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh,

Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence

Ain't got enough dough to pay the rent

I'm flat broke but I don't care

I strut right by with my tail in the air

Stray cat strut, I'm a ladies' cat,

A feline Casanova, hey man, thats where its at

Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man

Get my dinner from a garbage can

Meow


Yeah don't cross my path

I don't bother chasing mice around

I slink down the alley looking for a fight

Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,

"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."

I wish I could be as carefree and wild,

but I got cat class and I got cat style.

I don't bother chasing mice around

I slink down the alley looking for a fight

Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night

Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry,

"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy."

I wish I could be as carefree and wild,

but I got cat class and I got cat style.

All Apologies


Nirvana

What else should I be

All apologies

What else should I say

Everyone is gay

What else could I write

I dont have the right

What else should I be

All apologies

In the sun

In the sun I feed as one

In the sun

In the sun

Im married

Buried

I wish I was like you

Easily amused

Find my nest of salt

Everything is my fault


I'll take all the blame

Aqua seafoam shame

Sunburn with freezerburn

Choking on the ashes of her enemy

All in all we all are

M.I.A. - paper planes

I fly like paper, get high like planes

If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name

If you come around here, I make 'em all day

I get one down in a second if you wait

Sometimes I think sitting on trains

Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game

Everyone's a winner now we're making that fame

Bonafide hustler making my name

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)

And (KKKAAAA CHING!)

And take your money

Pirate skulls and bones

Sticks and stones and weed and bongs

Running when we hit 'em

Lethal poison through their system

No one on the corner has swagger like us

Hit me on my Burner prepaid wireless

We pack and deliver like UPS trucks

Already going **** just pumping that gas

All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)

And (KKKAAAA CHING!)

And take your money

M.I.A.

Yeah, I got more records than the K.G.B.

Some I some I let go

Gimme Some Water


Eddie Money

Mama never understood what it?s like for a losin? man.

When her number-one son goes bad playin? cards with the devil?s hand.

Boy, Daddy got real sick so quick never understand.

I was the one who got good with the gun, took the money from the rich man?s hand.

Gimme some water!

?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.

Cool, cool water?

Gimme some water.

I need a little water?

Jimmy grew up so fast, then he met me at the pass one day,

Said, ?You?re a wanted man ? Take your brother?s hand ?

I?d be runnin? with you anyway.?

So we rode late in the night like the fires of the desert sand

Till one day the posse caught us ?cause the sherriff always gets his man.

Gimme some water!

?Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.

Cool, cool water?

I need a little water?

Oh, Jeez, I just can?t loose my hands!

I?ve run just as fast as my legs can!

But, Lord, I got no room to run!

Shouldn?t a done what I did with that there gun!

Hey, hey, yeah!

Gimme some water!

?Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.

Cool, cool water?

Can?t you? see that long white rope

Hangin? from the hangman?s tree?

Take the restless horse ? tie my hands, of course -

Tell my mother that I?m finally free.

Let me die like a man no one understands ?

Let me pray ? Let a poor man pray!

Smack that horse in the ***.

With my last, dyin? gasp, my brother could hear me say,

?Gimme some water!?

?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.

Cool, cool water?

Gimme some water.

Gimme some water!

?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.

Cool, cool water?

Gimme some water!

Gimme some water!

?Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border.

Cool, cool water?

Gimme some water!

Gimme some water!

?Cause I killed a man on the Mexican border.

Cool, sweet water?

Gimme some water!
