I?ll take the signature of Larry Mullens POP Angel (dark...) and add up some Bowie

Maybe I should announce it, should I
Memory of a free festival

The Children of the summer's end
Gathered in the dampened grass
We played Our songs and felt the London sky
Resting on our hands
It was God's land
It was ragged and naive
It was Heaven

Touch, We touched the very soul
Of holding each and every life
We claimed the very source of joy ran through
It didn't, but it seemed that way
I kissed a lot of people that day

Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy that swept that afternoon
To paint that love upon a white balloon
And fly it from the toppest top of all the tops
That man has pushed beyond his brain
Satori must be something just the same

We scanned the skies with rainbow eyes and saw machines of every shape and size
We talked with tall Venusians passing through
And Peter tried to climb aboard but the Captain shook his head
And away they soared
Climbing through the ivory vibrant cloud
Someone passed some bliss among the crowd
And We walked back to the road, unchained

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party
The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

The Sun Machine is Coming Down, and We're Gonna Have a Party

:wave: :tongue: :mac: :laugh: :eek: :lmao: :hyper: :combust:
I mean...what the fookin blarney?!!!
This is just so fookin amazing!
We're literally a jukebox sent from the heavens....
And who the fook said Pop was shite?
Kiss my fookin ASS it was shite!!!
Just get a load of this!

I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside


I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind

*sigh*
you guys are great....
carry on with all your amazing lyrical contributions!
 
More Little Steven

Our government tells us we're doin' all we can
Constructive Engagement is Ronald Reagan's plan
Meanwhile people are dying and giving up hope
The quiet diplomacy ain't nothin' but a joke


(Ya got ta say) I, I, I ain't gonna play Sun City
 
alone on an empty island
turned on by the glass asylums
the faces turn the mothers learn
they don't wanna go home alone
outside among the rooftops
the neon lights are shining
the pavements blaze the children gaze
they don't wanna go home alone
shine on shine on
shine on shine on

the maze of the sunrise lifted
the souls of a million drifted
it's hard to hold a rose so bold
when your heart beats
now some spend a lifetime searching
and others will as you spend
wherever we are whoever we are
we're miles and miles from home

shine on shine on
shine on shine on
shine on shine on
shine on shine on

shine...
 
btw...hope this helps, cass.

I can ask the Q. prolly won't get an A. I read that Bono sand "blue Skies" at Paula Yates funeral. was it Willie Nelson's "blue skies" or Frank Sinatra's? Are they 2 different songs?

willie nelson: blue skies
Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see
Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
(Blue skies smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do I see)

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
Nothin' but blue skies from now on


frank sinatra: blue skies
Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blues skies do I see

Bluebirds singin' a song
Nothin' but bluebirds all day long

All the days are hurryin' by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on
 
Thanks KR, ONE & the same.. BRAVO!!hiphop..inmemory of the daze:)

Lyrics:

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the night and the empty skies my love
To the night and the empty skies

The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth turn in my hand
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command my love
That was there at my command

The first time ever I lay with you
And felt your heart beat close to mine
I thought our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'till the end of time my love
And would last 'till the end of time


I:heart:this song
(Kirsty Macoll's dad Ewan, wrote this song. Roberta Flack and Christy Moore do beautiful versions.. **cass agres with mmmmmmBono...."fooking rockin" indeed** :yes: :dance: :mac: :angel: :up:
 
Has this been done before?

Don't know if this one made the list yet, but it's a fecking great song!!!

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights, almost left behind
Suitcase of memories, time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
 
Hope I'm not repeating......

25 years of my life and still
I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope
for a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
that the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
for whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
to get it all out what's in my head then I
I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
and I take deep breath
and I get real high
then I scream from the top of my lungs
what's goin' on
and I say hey... hey...
I say hey, what's goin' on
and I say hey... hey...
I said hey, what's goin' on
 
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Money , get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New Car , caviar , four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money get back !
I'm alright Jack keep your hands off my stack.
Money it's a hit
don't give me that do goody good bullSHIT
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And i think i need a lear Jet

Money !!! IT'S A CRIME
Share it fairly , but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evill toooday
but if you ask for a rise it's no surprisethat they 're
giving none away

away
awaaay
awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
away......
 
I met her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was there to meet her connection
At her feet was a footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime
You just might find
You get what you need
 
Tonight I gotta cut
Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
 
Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
But will you love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Can I believe the magic of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
 
West Side Story is my favorite musical (well, tied with Les Mis)

Tonight, tonight,
Won't be just any night,
Tonight there will be no morning star.
Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight.
And for us, stars will stop where they are.
Today
The minutes seem like hours,
The hours go so slowly,
And still the sky is light . . .
Oh moon, grow bright,
And make this endless day endless night!
Tonight!
 
I'll never be your beast of burden
My back is broad but it's a hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me
I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles my feet are hurting
All I want is for you to make love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

I'll never be your beast of burden
So let's go home and draw the curtains
Music on the radio
Come on baby make sweet love to me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I rich enough
I'm not too blind to see

Oh little sister
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, girl
You're a pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Pretty, pretty
Such a pretty, pretty, pretty girl
Come on baby please, please, please

I'll tell ya
You can put me out
On the street
Put me out
With no shoes on my feet
But, put me out, put me out
Put me out of misery

Yeah, all your sickness
I can suck it up
Throw it all at me
I can shrug it off
There's one thing baby
That I don't understand
You keep on telling me
I ain't your kind of man

Ain't I rough enough, ooh baby
Ain't I tough enough
Ain't I rich enough, in love enough
Ooh! Ooh! Please

I'll never be your beast of burden
I'll never be your beast of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

I'll never be your beast of burden
I've walked for miles and my feet are hurting
All I want is you to make love to me

I don't need beast of burden
I need no fussing
I need no nursing
Never, never, never, never, never, never be
 
i had to escape
the city was sticky and cruel
maybe i should have called you first
but i was dying to get to you
i was dreaming while i drove
the long straight road ahead, uh, huh
could taste your sweet kisses
your arms open wide
this fever for you is just burning me up inside

i drove all night to get to you
is that alright
i drove all night
crept in your room
woke you from your sleep
to make love to you
is that all right
i drove all night

what in this world
keep us from tearing apart
no matter where i go i hear
the beating of your heart
i think about you
when the night is cold and dark
no one can move me
the way that you do
nothing erases the feeling between me and you

i drove all night to get to you
is that all right
i drove all night
crept in your room
woke you from your sleep
to make love to you
is that all right
i drove all night

could taste your sweet kisses
your arms open wide
this fever for you is just burning me up inside

i drove all night to get to you
is that all right
i drove all night
crept in your room
woke you from your sleep
to make love to you
i drove all night... to hold you tight
 
(for the car motif)

In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut, I am born again.
In the neon sign, scrolling up and down
I am born again.

In an interstella burst.... I am back to save the uuuuuniverse.

In a deep deep sleep, of the innocent
I am born again.
I a fast german car, I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life.

In an interstella burst.... I am back to save the uuuuuniverse.
In an interstella burst.... I am back to save the uuuuuniverse.
 
UNIVERSE- it's at the end! too good an opportunity to list a great lyric

Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
The sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour
Of the galaxy we call the Milky Way

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point
We go 'round every two hundred million years
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whiz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is
So remember when you're feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth
 
I wanna live on the moon
Never see a human again,
and as the earth explodes,
I'll light that candle for my dead best friends,
I look up to the sky when I am sad,
cuz the planets don't get down on me
 
Nature Boy-NKC(I didn't know Bowie, massive attack and ewan did this one

There was a boy
A very strange
Enchanted boy
They say he wandered
Very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
One magic day
He passed my way
While we spoke
Of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return"

:yes:
 
here comes success
over my hill
here comes success
here comes my car

in the last ditch

in the last ditch

sweetheart i'm telling you

oh oh oh

i'm gonna wear a dress
oh you slay me baby
we're gonna do the twist
we're gonna hop like a frog
cuz we love success

da, da, da, da, da

Tonight, tonight,
There's only you tonight,
What you are, what you do, what you say.
Today, all day I had the feeling
A miracle would happen.
I know now I was right.
For here you are,
And what was just a world is a star
Tonight!
 
We're all of us stars
We're fading away
Just try not to worry
You'll see us some day
Just take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying your heart out
