Interferencers Requests and Dedications

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

This thread was inspired by Mona's thread in PLEBA.

Just post lyrics to songs you'd like to dedicate to anyone you wish! I'll begin:

First, my dad, since we're going to the Stones show tonight-

My Father's House-Bruce Springsteen

Last night I dreamed that I was a child out where the pines grow wild and tall
I was trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls

I heard the wind rustling through the trees and ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
With the devil snappin' at my heels

I broke through the trees, and there in the night
My father's house stood shining hard and bright the branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms

I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride from out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light

I walked up the steps and stood on the porch a woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"

My father's house shines hard and bright it stands like a beacon calling me in the night
Calling and calling, so cold and alone
Shining `cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned


Ok, now for something lighter....this one goes out to my Lemon Sister, who's proll nursing a hangover (ha-right!! )as we speak, down in Memphis...

Jailhouse Rock-Elvis

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.


Lastly (I'm sure I'll be back with more), this one is for my boys....the good, the bad, and the unattainable!!!

God- Tori Amos
God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through


You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love
I gotta find what you're doing about things here
a few witches burning gets a little toasty here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
you got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case
heard you've gone south well babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows


give not thy strength unto women
nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings


Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky


God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

awww cute thread my beautiful poodle

this goes out to my lovely IO sisters and brothers.

"Perfect" by Jane Jensen (from her album, Burner)

If I left right now I could be there by tonight.
If I made it so wrong I can make it right.
You say you always aim too low.
Right now I'm ready to get about as low as you need to go.

Let's be perfect.
You and me right here, let's just try.
Let's be perfect.
You and me right now, don't let it die.

You wrestle down the boy inside
but you're not your father, not your mother, not your wounded pride.
Your heart is more than money and it's so much more than fame.
And now that I've known you, mine will never be the same.
Yeah, you just wanna fit in out there and you just wanna belong somewhere,
but I think the world was made for you...
You don't need nobody to get you through, no.

Let's be perfect.
You and me right here, let's just try.
Let's be perfect.
You and me right now, don't let it die.

I've heard all the stories with sad endings,
see I'm not broken but I keep bending.
Guess I'm here to save the damn day.
Cos Superman has been delayed.
Confused, misled, misguided, lost.
With my heart bound at such a cost.
With all the words I have to say-
just know yourself this one won't fade away....

I can't let you go.
I don't wanna let you go.

You don't have to aim so low.
We can get about as high as you need to go.

Let's be perfect.
You and me right here, let's just try.
Let's be perfect.
You and me right now, don't let it die.


...I you guys.

 

[Bonochick]

Once again...this one is for John (drgnwolf1969, as some of ya know him)...I can't wait until we're together again, "dippy"!!

Somewhere Out There

Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight
Somewhere out there
Someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
If helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star

And when the night winds starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath the same big sky

Somewhere out there
If love can see us through (can see us through)
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true

For Michael:

Your Latest Trick ~Dire Straits
All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys handing off my chain

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horms
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eyes can flick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick


For Matthew:

Cupid's Victim ~Tiger Army
Without a warning it comes flying-
And when it strikes my world changes,
all reason left behind
Without a warning it comes flying-
and its to late to resist it for my fate is sealed
And I know... My heart's no longer mine

Just like an arrow through my heart
A feeling so strong
A scarlet fever burns my soul
From this moment on

Can't shake this fever from my mind
It burns away all that has passed
And draws me to her side
"A direct hit" the cupid smiles...
Wounded, I fall into delrium
And I know... my heart's no longer mine

this goes out to all Interferencers. i hate you.

Stick it all in a bowl baby,

[bullet the blue sky]

Someone isn't taking this seriously.

I have absolutely no idea why I'm doing this as all of the people this is aimed at will never read it. Still, you get to read some nice lyrics!

This one's going out for Alison!

Garbage - Special

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new (4x)

We were the talk of the town (4x)

I thought you were special (4x)


And this one is for Arthur Bremmer

Peter Gabriel - Family Snapshot

The streets are lined with camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news
Today is different
Today is not the same
Today I make the action
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light
I'm shooting into the light

Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
Driving into the sun
If I worked it out right
They won't see me or the gun

Two miles to go, they're clearing the road
The cheering has really begun
I've got my radio
I can hear what's going on

I've been waiting for this
I have been waiting for this
All you people in TV land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
As I burn into your memory cells
Cos I'm alive

They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front
I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of will
And the governor's car is not far behind
He's not the one I've got in mind
Cos there he is, the man of the hour, standing in the limousine
"I don't really hate you
I don't care what you do
We were made for each other
Me and you
I want to be somebody
You were like that too
If you don't get given you learn to take
And I will take you."

Holding my breath
Release the catch
And I let the bullet fly

All turned quiet
I've been here before
A lonely boy hiding behind the front door
Friends have all gone home
There's my toy gun on the floor
Come back Mum and Dad
You're growing apart
You know that I'm growing up sad
I need some attention
I shoot into the light


This be Catherine's song

Ash - Oh Yeah

Oh yeah, she was taking me over,
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
Ooh ah, ooh ah

On warm June evenings she would come to my house
Still in her school skirt and her summer blouse
Talking too long as the night came on
It was the best time of my life

Her bee-stung lips, kisses sweeter than wine
The things she whispered with breathless sighs
The summer air was soft and warm,
Her eyes were making silent demands
As her hair came undone in my hands

Oh yeah, she was taking me over,
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
Oh yeah, she was taking me over,
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
Ooh ah, ooh ah

Driving her home after midnight
I felt so good, everything was alright
Her thoughts seemed lost in the night sky
I remember everything
I don?t know why these things ever end
I sometimes wish it was that summer again
I still see her in my sleep
And hear the sighing of the summer wind,
Still I don?t regret one thing

Oh yeah, she was taking me over,
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
Oh yeah, she was taking me over,
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
Ooh ah, ooh ah

Oh yeah, she was taking me over,
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
Oh yeah, she was taking me over,
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
It felt just like it was the start of forever
And oh yeah, it was the start of the summer
Ooh ah, ooh ah


This isn't for anyone in particular... but most guys on here will be able to relate to this

Pulp - Disco 2000

Well we were born within one hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah, Deborah.
It never suited ya.
Oh they thought that when we grew up,
we'd get married, and never split up.
We never did it, although often I thought of it.

Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small,
with wood chip on the wall.
When I came around to call,
you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
I never knew that you'd get married.
I would be living down here on my own on
that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

You were the first girl at school to get breasts.
Martyn said that yours were the best.
The boys all loved you but I was a mess.
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed.
We were friends but that was as far as it went.
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant,
oh it meant nothing to you,
cos you were so popular.

Deborah do you recall?
Your house was very small,
with woodchip on the wall.
When I came around to call,
you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
I never knew that you'd get married.
I would be living down here on my own
on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh yeah,
oh yeah.

Ah do you recall?
Your house was very small,
with wood chip on the wall.
When I came around to call,
you didn't notice me at all.

I said let's all meet up in the year 2000.
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown.
Be there at 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road.
I never knew that you'd get married.
I would be living down here on my own,
on that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.
Oh what are you doing Sunday baby.
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby.
Ohhh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh.
What are you doing Sunday baby.
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby.
Ooh ooh oh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. Oh.


For Amy

REM - At My Most Beautiful

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
a way to make you smile

I read bad poetry
into your machine
I save your messages
just to hear your voice.
you always listen carefully
to awkwards rhymes.
you always say your name.
like I woulden't know it's you
at your most beautiful.

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
a way to make you smile

at my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly.
with every one, whisper I love you.
I let you sleep.
I know you're closed eye watching me,
listening.
I thought I saw a smile.

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
a way to make you smile


And for Nicola

Electronic - Getting Away With It

I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse
I've been getting away with it all my life (getting away)

However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me

I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you couldn't care less
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away with it all my life

I thought I gave up falling in love a long long time ago
I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know
And it's been true all my life
Yes, it's been true all my life

I've been talking to myself just to suggest that I'm selfish
(Getting ahead)
I've been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed
(I should do what he said)

Getting away with it...

 

[Calluna]

foray, you rule!
Here is another ode to interference. It was written as a response to the Whitney Houston song, I will always love you.

I will always hate you by Dave Graney

I will always hate you
Sometimes
I'm sittin about with my pals
shootin' the breeze
layin' back?n?laughin'
drinkin' wine
then ,out of nowhere
you spring into my mind
like a ghost touchin' my shoulder
like a chill comin' over the room
I will always hate you
you got the power
I don?t know how
I don?t know when
you made the move
you got the mozz on me
I will always hate you
I know it's stupid
I shouldn't be so weak
I must be vigilant
I must be strong
I must remember
there is somethin' I have to do
there is a certain time
and place
that I really have to make
I will always hate you

 

[Naya]

This goes out to all my good friends:

The Beatles
Two of us


`Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
Two of us Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

We're going home
Better believe it`

This goes out to an ex boyfriend:

The Clash
Train in Vain


`Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day

CHORUS
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say

CHORUS

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me

Did you stand by me
No, not at all

Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won't make it through

But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

CHORUS

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way`

This goes out to any guy I've ever fancied...haha

Fiona Apple
Slow like honey


`You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn't quite discern me
Does that scare you? I'll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You'll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I'll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret - Gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

I'll let you see me, I'll covet your regard
I'll invade your demeanor
And you'll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you'll wonder what it is about me

It's my big secret - Keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I'm gone like yesterday
When I'm high like heaven
When I'm strong like music
'Cuz I'm slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood`

An Archie Roach song"Mr. T"

When my eldest son turned 18 I put a small photo of him as a boy in a happy happy moment and a few words from this song in the local paper. And now my second one, about an hour ago, passed his driver's test...he's away . And my sleepy baby, the potential genius.
I am relieved he passed the test and to be honest, slightly apprehensive, but hey, I'm an OK driving instructor. My eldest will be moving out of home again soon too. He is such a dear friend to me. Keep them safe.
So today for my sons.

"The first time I saw my baby
Begin to walk
It made me look
Now he can talk
And the last time I phoned my baby
It made him cry
And it made me cry
Now I know why
Cos he is starting to understand the meaning
of love....

And sometimes I think my baby
Is a wise old man
He helps me understand
My little friend
And I am starting to understand
The meaning
Of love."


I'm well pleased

I would also like to leave a fun song from that same album, that reminds me of them too.

"Singing in the kitchen
Banging the pots and pans
Singing to the children
Just so they will be glad
Running through the lounge room
Playing hide and seek
All the little children trying to find me
So young
And so full of life
So young
And so full of life...."

It feels like Mother's Day.

 

[Mrs. Vedder]

Re: An Archie Roach song"Mr. T"

I would like to dedicate this song to my Hubby, Eddie!


-------------------------------------------
That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need to live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero

Chorus:
Damn I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother I will
Do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed

This monkey can't stand to see you black and blu
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don't say you'll stay
'Cause then you go away

Chorus

Shucks for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn I wish I was your lover

If I was your girl believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
Forever and ever and ever and ever

I sat on the mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to her with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you

Chorus

 

[The Maestro]

To the one i love....even though it aint mutual

Always On My Mind

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If I make you feel second best
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied

Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
