Chain lyrics GAME...

[cass]

just a little bit of Extreme. I'd rather sing"More Than Words" to be honest

on the topic of $$$$$


Money
Money
I need more money
Just a little more money

And give us these days
Our daily bread
Only you we praise
Almighty dollar

Money
My personal saviour
Money
A material lust....

 

[mmmBono]

breakin' the rules for Cass..

I know what ya mean about this song....*sigh*

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words


i just had to, cass....wonderful wonderful song to say the least!

 

[joyfulgirl]

heebie geebie bee gees

Talk in everlasting words
and dedicate them all to me.
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me.
You think that I don't even mean
a single word I say
It's only words
and words are all I have
to take your heart away.

Top Gun!!

Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting
Still anticipating love
Never hesitating
To become the fated ones
Turning and returning
To some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion
As you turn to me and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you
In time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you
And turned to hear you say
If only for today
I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion
In this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion
Somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn my way and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

I just got a fookin flashback of luscious Tommy...ooooh lord...*fans herself*

 

[cass]

aww thanks mmmmBono..didya? get a flashback?

was it a song by Berlin?. But ahhh The Bee Gees, I flashed back to about '65/66, I wonder when "Words" was released? My big sisters used to buy singles all the time. I liked the Bee Gees and the Beatles and the Beachboys, they had good taste. Hmmmm all "B" bands. Anyway , thanks for the beauty of that. I'm lyricless at the moment.

more...

you're talking it all sounds fair
you promise your love how much you care
i'm still listening and still unsure
your actions are lacking, nothing is clear

no more words
you're telling me you love me while you're looking away
no more words, no more words
and no more promises of love

remember when the words were new
they carried a meaning, a feeling so true
i'm looking for a long romance
not a picture of passion or one time chance

no more words
you're telling me you love me while you're looking away
no more words, no more words
and no more promises of love

don't fool your self
your empty passion won't satisfy me
i know, so don't pretend that you want me
you don't want me, no!

no more words
you're telling me you love me while you're looking away
no more words, no more words
and no more promises of love

we make love, and it's all the same
your eyes show nothing, no lover's flame
don't promise we can work it out
you can leave right now if you're feeling doubt

no more words
you're telling me you love me while you're looking away
no more words, no more words
and no more promises of love

no more words
you're telling me you love me you're looking away
no more words, no more words
and no more promises of love

(no more words and no more promises)
no more words and no more promises of love

 

[mmmBono]

hey Khanada...who did that song?

Totally misguided
Babe you're misadvised
Don't even try to fight it
Your promises are lies


Hey Cass...no problem....that's one of my all time favourite tunes....hey ever see Extreme at that Aids benefit concert when they covered a whole bunch of Queen tunes back in '92(I think)...man they fookin ROCKED! I think I have that on tape somewhere! And Khanada...who does that song above this post that you just posted? Thanks in advance *mwah*

 

[dsmith2904]

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to belive in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

Although I'm not making plans
I hope that you understand there's a reason why
Close your, close your, close your eyes

No more broken hearts
We're better off apart let's give it a try
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)
Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies

If I could turn the page
In time then I'd rearrange just a day or two
Close my, close my, close my eyes

But I couldn't find a way
So I'll settle for one day to belive in you
Tell me, tell me, tell me lies

Tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no, no you can't disguise
(You can't disguise, no you can't disguise)

Re: hey Khanada...who did that song?

berlin.

 

[cass]

if i could.......

mmmBono, the money from that concert did go to AIDS research...but, it was Freddie's memorial concert. He died in November and Bryan and Roger pulled out all the stops, despite their grief. They didn't have much warning ( always poised till the end) and had it organised and happening by April...it was the day of my birthday. I have the video, you betcha.What a line-up. He was LOVED....
did you notice Nuno's red tie? a nice thoughtful touch.

My son loved trains when he was a baby. Thiswas HIS song. i still get a thrill when freddie sings.."your smile...speaks books to me"



When love breaks up
When the dawn light wakes up
A new life is born
Somehow I have to make this final breakthru . . . Now!

I wake up
Feel just fine,
Your face
Fills my mind
I get religion quick
'Cos you're looking divine
Honey you're touching something, you're touchin' me,
I'm under your thumb, under you're spell, can't you see,
If I could only reach you,
If I could make you smile,
If I could only reach you,
That would really be a breakthru - oh yeah.

Breakthru, these barriers of pain,
Breakthru, to the sunshine from the rain,
Make my feelings known towards you
Turn my heart inside and out for you now
Somehow,
I have to make this final breakthru.
Now!

Your smile,
Speaks books to me,
I break up,
With each and every one of your looks at me,
Honey you're starting something deep inside of me,
Honey you're sparking something, this fire in me,
I'm outta control, I wanna rush headlong into this ecstasy
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
If I could only reach you
If I could make you smile,
If I could only reach you
That would really be a breakthru
Breakthru, breakthru


girls, I am reallt struggling here..with the urge to post a pic.......mmmBono, start a Nuno/Freddie thread and Bowie...i Have lotsa pics

 

[dsmith2904]

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

 

[joyfulgirl]

joyfulgirl, still bringin' you the oldies--sing w/me cass!

I'm sitting in the railway station
Got a ticket to my destination
mmmm
On a tour of one-night stands,
my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and one-man band

Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me.

 

[dsmith2904]

Sometimes I wonder
If I'm ever gonna make it home again
It's so far and out of sight

I really need someone to talk to
And nobody else knows how to comfort me tonight

Snow is cold, rain is wet
Chills my soul right to the marrow

I won't be happy
Till i see you alone again
Till i'm home again and feeling right

I wanna be home again and feeling right.

 

[martha]

If it's Lena, you'll Lovich!

Home is where the heart is
Home is...
I forgot
Let's go to your place

 

[cass]

let's go to your place..

and rip off the roof
and stay in bed
**cass hands out feather boas to the backing vocalists**
It's raining men
hallelujah
It's raining men
A men...


sorry I lower the tone. You always delight me with the beauty of your lyrics. I saw Lisa Hunt sing this Weathergirls song one night. She got some young guys out of the audience, wrapped the boas around their necks and deadset...they thought they were "the Supremes" Cheap prop, used effectively.It was great.
I hope the Amen provides a useful tag.**cass nails martha's roof back on before she leaves**

 

[cass]

aww crikey..there it goes again!! I don't like being at the top of pages, i'm more a

 

[dsmith2904]

To my surprise
1,000 miles high
People getting loose
Getting down on the roof
I tell ya
Folks were screaming
Out of control
It was so entertaining
When the boogie started to explode
I heard somebody say
Burn baby burn
Disco inferno
Burn baby burn
Burn that mother down

 

[martha]

The Who, again

I know you've deceived me
Now here's a surprise
I know that you have
'Cause there's magic in my eyes
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah...

 

[dsmith2904]

Makin' my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
I'm makin' a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you.... tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And wonder if you ever think of me

Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Livin' in your precious memory

Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you.... tonight

And I,I don't want to let you know
I,I drown in your memory
I,I don't want to let this go
I,I don't

Makin' my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces past and I'm homebound

Staring blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
I'm makin' a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you..

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

If I could fall in to the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could see you

If I could just hold you...tonight

 

[cass]

In the dark of night
Those small hours
Uncertain and anxious
I need to call you
Rooms full of strangers
some call me friend
But I wish you were close to me

In the dark of the night
Those small hours
I drift away
When I'm with you

CHORUS
In the dark of the night
By my side
In the dark of the night
By my side
By my side
By my side
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Here comes the clown
His face is a wall
No window
no air at aall
In the dark of the night
Those faces they haunt me
But I wish you were
So close to me
By my side
By my side
I wish you were
I wish you were

CHORUS

Those faces they haunt me
I wish you were so close to me
Yes I wish you were
By my side



beautiful boy

This thread rocks. And yay INXS (been listening to the anthology this morning ... sigh)

All veils and misty
Streets are blue
Almond looks that chill divine
Some silken moment goes on forever
And we're leaving broken hearts behind
You mystify
Mystify me
I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me to keep me alive
In all that exists, none has your beauty
I see your face and I will survive
You mystify
Mystify me
Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All the stars that shine upon you
They kiss you every night

 

[cass]

I saw/heard Seal on TV yesterday..something in the way he moves...

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
...kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Ooh...................
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby (L)
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.. yeah. (L)
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
There is so much a man can tell you,
.there's so much inside.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
I've..........been kissed from a rose on the grey.



dsmith, I could just imagine us at a gathering. All the sensible people asleep ( because there is, in fact. a tomorrow) Us two ruttling 'round in the kitchen , still making one last cup of tea and singing ALL the "hits"
@--->--->.-------- OH NO!! now I want to start singing my mother's old songs
" I want some red roses, for a blue lady, send them to the sweetest gal in town...and if they di the trick, I'll hurry back to pick...Your best white orchids for her wedding GOWNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!"" sorry, but that felt good

 

[dsmith2904]

More INXS

This is the power
Since time began
Every single hour
That we have known

And from each moment
All that is left
Sleep of the innocent
Just one desire

Shine like it does
Into every heart
Shine like it does
And if you're looking
You will find it

This is the story
Since time began
There will come a day
When we will know

Cass -- We can totally do an INXS sing along!! When I was in Dublin I unwound in a nice bubble bath after a long day walking around the city, put the INXS anthology into my Discman and sang my heart out. I'm sure my neighbors really appreciated my butchering of the guys' work, but I was enjoying myself!

 

[MonaVox]

I believe in the Kingdom Come
when all the colors will bleed into one

 

[joyfulgirl]

We all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it, you can bleed on me
We all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it, why don't you bleed on me

 

[MonaVox]

If you want love you must be love
But if you bleed love you will die loved

 

[madonna's child]

Love is real, real is love
Love is feeling, feeling love
Love is wanting to be loved

Love is touch, touch is love
Love is reaching, reaching love
Love is asking to be loved

Love is you
You and me
Love is knowing
We can be

 

[joyfulgirl]

a more cynical look at love by jane siberry

love is everything they said it would be
love made sweet and sad the same
but love forgot to make me too blind to see
you're chickening out aren't you?
you're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I cant wait 'til you make
the whole kingdom come
so I'm leaving

 

[dsmith2904]

I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
Got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools
So gladly
And now I find
I've changed my mind
The face of you
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy
The face of you
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
No famous places, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No ferris wheel, no heart to steel
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark
The face of you
My substitute for love
Should I wait for you
My substitute for love
