Chain lyrics GAME...

[cass]

It's beena week and I still cry when I think.Kasey won the ARIA, Kasey beat Kylie

If I was good, I'd tell everyone I know
If I was free, I wouldn't be so keen to go,
If I was wrong , I would take it like a man
If I was smart, I would get out while I can
If I was broken I probably would let it be
If I was dying, I wouldn't go out quietly......

If I was rich i would spend it on my own
If I was dignified i'd only smoke at home
If I was dark i'd probably only dress in black
And if I was chosen, I'd gladly give it back...


I saw the film clip of this song for the first time on Saturday. I am SO proud of this truly natural-born woman. She was either pregnant or just had Talon when it was filmed, she looked a bit "puffy".I thought a lot of the divas would not allow anyone to film them then, but not Kasey, her straps of her nursing bra was hanging down her arm when she accepted the ARIA...But she looked beautiful imho.truly beautiful Real, very real.

 

[madonna's child]

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you?d be
The Chosen One.

 

[martha]

A bit of Johnny Cash

How high's the water, mama?
It's three feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
She said it's three feet high and risin'

 

[madonna's child]

Walk, walk, walk...to the water
Walk with me a while
Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside
Walk me in the light
A room in the Royal Hotel
Sea facing views
A man with a suitcase
Full of things he doesn't need
I'm looking through your window
I'm walking through your doorway
I'm on the outside
Let me in

 

[MonaVox]

I want to come over
To hell with the consequence
You told me you loved me
That's all I believe
I want to come over
It's a need I can't explain
To see you again
I want to come over

Re: 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

[mmmBono]

one of my favourites...sigh...



I melt every time I hear this....

The Promise

When you need a friend, don't look to a stranger,
You know in the end, I'll always be therre.
But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger,
Take a look all around, and I'll be there.


I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.

When your day is through, and so is your temper,
You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there.
Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended.
These words just come out, with no gripe to bear.


I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you...


I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be.
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me,
I promise you, I promise you I will.

I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, I need to tell you...




I will. I will.

Love Autumn

Bon Jovi!!!!

(I was in junior high when this song came out and I thought it was like the most amazing, romantic poetry, I adored this song! Many years later, it's held up pretty well.)

I guess this time you're really leaving
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
You say true love in suicide

You say you're cried a thousand rivers
And now you're swimming for the shore
You left me drowning in my tears
And you won't save me anymore

Now I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

I know you know we're had some good times
How they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday

And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drink, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

And I wan't there when you were happy
I wasn't there when you were down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you
These five words I swear to you
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll be there for you
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Words can't say what a love can do
I'll be there for you

 

[cass]

Can I do a medley? Your songs made me think of so many others- all daggy, but that's

me
Willie - I love you valentine, won't you be my valentine and introduce your heart to mine and let me be your sweet valentine.....( doesn't count 'cause it's small?I hope...why do you have to be a "rulebreaker"

this is the one, bit of local talent...

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to stay like this forever
Until the stars fall down on me...






I don't know what " je -ne-sais-quois" translates to, but it sounds like something Seal would exude. He performs at Freddie's memorial concert too..."who wants to live forever..." I'm glad you enjoyed my rendition mmmbono. I'm glad the sing-along is still going. @}--->---
I just noticed BonJovi mention forgetting her birthday, so am tepted to do a few bars of "Sweetest Thing" ( I'll behave)...but it begs the question, don't these rich rockstars have personal assistants who organise flowers and stuff. How do they still manage to forget?

 

[dsmith2904]

From sweet to sexy...

I wanna kiss you in Paris
I wanna hold your hand in Rome
I wanna run naked in a rainstorm
Make love in a train cross-country
You put this in me
So now what, so now what?

Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love

Hoping, praying
For you to justify my love

I want to know you
Not like that
I don't wanna be your mother
I don't wanna be your sister either
I just wanna be your lover
I wanna be your baby
Kiss me, that's right, kiss me

Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love

Hoping, praying
For you to justify my love

Yearning, burning
For you to justify my love

What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
Talk to me -- tell me your dreams
Am I in them?
Tell me your fears
Are you scared?
Tell me your stories
I'm not afraid of who you are
We can fly!

Poor is the man
Whose pleasures depend
On the permission of another
Love me, that's right, love me
I wanna be your baby

Wanting, needing, waiting
For you to justify my love

Hoping, praying
For you to justify my love

I'm open and ready
For you to justify my love
To justify my love
Wanting, to justify
Waiting, to justify my love
Praying, to justify
To justify my love
I'm open, to justify my love

 

[joyfulgirl]

I can't believe life's so complex
When I just wanna sit here and watch you undress
I can't believe life's so complex
When I just wanna sit here and watch you undress

This is love, this is love that I'm feelin'
This is love, this is love that I'm feelin'
This is love, love, love that I'm feelin'

Does it have to be a life full of dread?
Wanna chase you 'round the table, wanna touch your head
Does it have to be a life full of dread?
Wanna chase you 'round the table, wanna touch your head

This is love, this is love that I'm feelin'
This is love, this is love that I'm feelin'
This is love, love, love, love that I'm feelin'

Betterman

memories back when she was bold and strong
and waiting for the world to come along...
swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone
she lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man...
she dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...
she lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man...
she dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man...


nice to see this thread still kicking ass!!!

 

[cass]

well not exactly kicking ...but heck no one about, why not?

my son said the other day "Did you buy Kasey Chambers album? I'm moving out on the right day then". I said no more sad songs in 2002, but, I can do her songs and some of her lyrics are so....
I hope this doesn't start a new page 36.....we'll see. Please be short enough to fit.PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
I was listening to her album and on one track I was so moved and thought ...what a truly harmonious tone, and such beautiful guitar playing. I looked on the cover notes for the first time....and the guitarist and bass player are brothers and played in a band I used to see a long time ago. I didn't know they were in Kasey's band...they won the ARIA too!!I'm still so happy about that.I Love her sad songs....I haven't touched my new guitar strings yet. I have a theory about the voice being sometimes betterman(the link) at different times.

"Last night I woke
With the stars looking back at me
Swallowing the sky I felt no anger
I felt no shame, I felt no reason to cry...

If I'm not here in the morning
I'll cry a river of tears
I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here...

I close my eyes I think of running water
I think of running away
But the fire's burnt to ashes
And it's darker than before
But I can see as clear as day"



" ..Do you wanna ride in my car
It's parked out on the street
Or just stay with me a while
before I fall asleep.

Take these tears
Wash your skin
I'm having trouble breathing
Since you walked in....."
( I love the guy's voice she duet's with on this song, one of the warmest voices I have heard in a long time...superb)


"...I'll drive faster
You'll hold tighter
I'll get wild
You'll get wilder
I'll make thunder
You'll make rain
We'll go down
to the runaway train..."

very country, but so much feeling...I'm loving this album. I'm going to go and touch my strings
kick some ass musiclovers...bring back the good music eh?

lol@my country revival....

 

[martha]

You want sad? I got sad.

I was standin' by the window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I told the undertaker
Undertaker, please drive slow
For that body you are hauling
Lord, I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky


(It continues, but you get the point. I love the Carter Family's version of this song.)

 

[dsmith2904]

Sadder Still

Beautiful song by Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney

I feel such sorrow, I feel such shame
I know I won't arrive on time
Before whatever out there is gone
What can I do, that day is done
It's just a promise that I made
I said I'd walk in her parade
Hot scalding tears I thought would flow
Still in my heart, they'll never show
That day is done
You know where I've gone I won't be coming back
That day is done
Well I recall the time and place
When they announced her precious face
I thought at once my heart would burst
Still every time is like the first
There was applause when she stepped up
I wished that I could interupt
I made no sign, I made no sound
I know I must stay underground
That day is done
You know where I've gone, I won't be coming back
That day is done
That's why she walks, or so they say
She always knew just what I needed
Now if she would just look my way
One time before they proceed
She sprinkles flowers in the dirt
That's when a thrill becomes a hurt
I know I'll never see her face
She walks away from my resting place
That day is done
You know where I've gone, I won't be coming back
That day is done

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

someone post something upbeat so i don't have to jump off a cliff

I just don't care anymore
I've reached the end of the road
I just don't care anymore
Won't cry these tears anymore

There's no way she can kiss you the way that I do
I heard that you miss me
Oh you should be careful of who you keep talking to

 

[dsmith2904]

Don't jump!!

How about a little teen angst to turn things around?

I was talking
I was talking to myself
Somebody else
Talk talk talking
I couldn't hear a word
A word you said

He was my brother
I said there was no other
Way out of here
Be my brother
Gotta get out
Gotta get out

I was walking
I was walking into walls
I'm back again
I just keep walking
I walk into a window
To see myself
And my reflection
When I thought about it
My direction
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

No one...no one is blinder
Than he who will not see
No one...no one is blinder
Than me

I was talking
I was talking in my sleep
I can't stop talking
I'm talking to you
It's up to you

Be my brother
There is another way out of here
In my brother
Gotta get out
Gotta get out
Gotta get out of here

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

looking for to save my save my soul
looking in the places where no flowers grow
looking for to fill that god shaped hole
mother mother sucking rock and roll
(been around the back...been around the front)

holy dunc, space junk coming in for the splash
white dopes on punk staring into the flash
looking for baby jesus under the trash
mother mother sucking rock and roll

mother am i still your son
you know i've waited for so long to hear you say so
mother you left and made me someone
now i'm still a child but no one tells me no

looking for a sound that's gonna drown out the world
looking for the father of my two little girls
got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade
still looking for the face i had before the world was made

mother mother sucking rock and roll
bubble popping sugar dropping rock and roll

woo me sister
move me brother
soothe me mother
rule me father
show me mother

 

[dsmith2904]

Keep it together
keep people together forever and ever
I got brothers
I got some sisters, too
stuck in the middle, tell you what I'm gonna do
gonna get out of here
I'm gonna leave this place
so I can forget every single hungry face
I'm tired of sharing all the hand me downs
to get attention, I must always be the clown
I wanna be different, I wanna be on my own
but Daddy said: "listen, you will always have a home"
Keep it together
in the family
they're a reminder of your history
Brothers and sisters
they hold the key to your heart and your soul
Don't forget that your family is gold
I hit the big time
but I still get the blues
everyone's a stranger
city life can get to you
People can be so cold
never want to turn your back
just givin' to get something
always wanting something back
Keep it together
in the family
they're a reminder of your history
Brothers and sisters
they hold the key to your heart and your soul
Don't forget that your family is gold
When I get lonely and I need to be
loved for who I am, not what they want to see
Brothers and sisters
they've always been there for me
We have a connection
home is where the heart should be
When I look back on all the misery
and all the heartache that they brought to me
I wouldn't change it for another chance
'cause blood is thicker than any other circumstance

 

[martha]

The Stanley Brothers

I left my old home
To travel this country
My mother and dad
Said "Son don't go wrong."
Remember that God
Will always watch o'er you
And we will be waiting
For you here at home

Son don't go astray
Is what they both told me
Remember that love
For God can be found
But now they're both gone
This letter just told me
For years they've been dead
The fields have turned brown

For many long years
I've rambled in sorrow
No thoughts of the day
When I would return
Now as I go home
And find no one waiting
The price I have paid
To live and to learn

Son don't go astray
Is what they both told me
Remember that love
For God can be found
But now they're both gone
This letter just told me
For years they've been dead
The fields have turned brown

 

[cass]

there's a lot of beautiful songs about fields...

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky as we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of Barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of Barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

 

[martha]

mmm, nice. Who is that?

 

[joyfulgirl]

that was 'Fields of Gold' by Sting

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

 

[hiphop]

david on the cygnet committee

I bless you madly
Sadly as I tie my shoes.
I love you badly
Just in time, at times, I guess.
Because of you I need to rest,
Because it's you that sets the test.

So much has gone and little is new
And as the sparrow sings
Dawn chorus for
Someone else to hear,
The Thinker sits alone growing old
And so bitter.

"I gave Them life,
I gave Them all.
They drained my very soul...dry.
I crushed my heart to ease Their pains
No though for me remains there.
Nothing can They spare.
What of me?
Who praised Their efforts to be free?
Words of strength and care and sympathy.
I opened doors that would have blocked Their way.
I braved Their cause to guide, for little pay.
I ravaged at my finance just for Those,
Those whose claims were steeped in peace,tranquility.
Those who said a new world,new ways ever free.
Those whose promises stretched in hope and grace for me."

I bless you madly
Sadly as I tie my shoes.
I love you badly
Just in time,at times,I guess
Because of You I need to rest
Because it's You that sets the test

So much has gone and little is new
And as the sunrise stream
Flickers on me
My friends talk
Of glory, untold dream, where all is God and God is just a word

"We had a friend, a talking man
Who spoke of many powers that he had
Not of the best of men, but Ours
We used him
We let him use his powers
We let him fill Our needs
Now We are strong

And the road is coming to its end.
Now the damned have no time to make amends.
No purse of token fortunes stands in Our way.
The silent guns of love will blast the sky.

We broke the ruptured structure built of age
Our weapons were the tongues of crying rage
Where money stood
We planted seeds of rebirth
And stabbed the backs of fathers,
Sons of dirt.

Infiltrated business cesspools,
Hating through Our sleeve,
Yes, and We slit the Catholic throat
Stoned the poor on slogans such as

'Wish You Could Hear,'
'Love Is All We Need,'
'Kick Out The Jams,'
'Kick Out Your Mother,'
'Cut Up Your Friend,'
'Screw Up Your Brother or He'll Get You In the End.'

And We Know the Flag of Love is from Above
And We Can Force You to Be Free
And We Can Force You to Believe"

And I close my eyes and tighten up my brain,
For I once read a book in which lovers were slain,
For they knew not the words of the Free States' refrain,
It said:

"I believe in the Power of Good.
I Believe in the State of Love.
I Will Fight For the Right to be Right.
I Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right."

And I open my eyes to look around,
And I see a child laid slain on the ground.
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows,
Ploughing down man, woman, listening to its command
But I?m not hearing anymore
Not hearing anymore,
Just the shrieks from the old rich

And I Want to Believe
In the madness that calls 'Now',
And I Want to Believe
That a light's shining through
Somehow

And I Want to Believe
And You Want to Believe
And We Want to Believe
And We Want to Live
Oh,We Want to Live

We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live
We Want to Live

I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live
I Want to Live

Live
Live
Live

 

[cass]

U've got 2

live a little
die a little
let the clouds roll by a little
laugh a little
cry a little
give a little
take a little
let your poor break a little

that's the story of
that's the glory of
LOVE







I L.O.V.E.Y O.U 2

 

[martha]

I still haven't used a U2 song!

Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring
I fell for you like a child
Oh, and the flames went wild

And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down down
And the flames grew higher
And it burns burns burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire



(Have I done this one already?)

 

[dsmith2904]

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pire
Come on baby light my fire
Come on baby light my fire

 

[joyfulgirl]

hey little girl is your daddy home
did he go away and leave you all alone
i got a bad desire
oooh, i'm on fire

tell me now baby is he good to you
can he do to you the things that i do
i can take you higher
oooh, i'm on fire

sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul

at night i wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
only you can cool my desire
oooh, i'm on fire

 

[cass]
