Lyrics to a song you like........

anthony green:Miracle sun

Where do you go when it gets dark
And is there room for me there?
How long will it take you to wake up
Before you go, will you wake me?
Or I'll sleep all day

Miracle sun
Stay with me tonight
We don't wanna be without you
We'll come along so save a place for us
We don't wanna be left alone, no

Where do you go when it gets dark
And is there room for me there?
How long will it take you to wake up
Before you go, will you wake me?
Or I'll sleep all day
Miss everything

 

YEM- phish

yeah, that last one was half-assed

Colonel Forbin's Ascent - Phish

Colonel Forbin stared up at the mountain
And wiped away the beads of sweat
That glistened on his brow
His tired feet were buried in the quagmire
And his bloodshot eyes saw all that lay between him
And fulfillment of his vow

And he felt his fingers wrap around a knotted root
And pulled his body upwards
To a sea green mossy boulder
And he dragged his weary carcass [or "shit-ass"] up the mountain

And he climbed so slowly
He climbed so slowly
Ahead
Ahead

Suddenly he heard the crack of thunder
And the rocks began to crumble overhead
And tumble down the mountain to the
Dismal swamp that lay beneath the jagged cliffs
through which his path had led
And the earth began to quake beneath his feet
And the mighty mountain changed before his eyes
And he stood amidst a sea of dust and rocks and stones
Cascading down the mountain
And a thousand birds were headed for the sky. Oh...

The sacred creed will be yours
And if you wait until tomorrow
The sacred creed will be yours
To devour
Yours
To seize
And to obey
Obey

When the dust had cleared, the colonel lifted up his head
And was driven to his knees by a blazing beam of light
And he saw the silhouette that stood before him
And he bowed in reverence
Trembling in the shadow of the mighty legend's form
Icculus the prophet stood before his eyes
Looking down on Colonel Forbin
Where he shuddered in the puddles and the muck
And he quietly addressed him

And he spoke so slowly
He spoke so slowly
Ahead
He said

Colonel Forbin I know why you've come here
And I'll help you with your quest to gain the knowledge that you lack
I call upon my faithful friend the mockingbird
To fly and seize the helping book and bring it to your shack
And a tree of knowledge in your soul will grow
And the Helping Friendly Book will plant the seed
But I warn you that all knowledge seeming innocent and pure
Becomes a deadly weapon in the hands of avarice
And greed

The sacred greed will be yours
And if you wait until tomorrow
The sacred creed will be yours
To devour
Yours
To seize
And to obey
And to obey

And the famous mockingbird swooped down out of the sky and landed on Icculus's shoulder, and Icculus whispered into the bird's ear, and it flew off toward Wilson's castle in the valley below.

 

Eric Anderson : Is It Really Love At All





Sitting here forgotten like

A book upon a shelf

No one there to turn the page

You're left to read yourself

Alone to sit and wonder just how the story ends

Cause no-one ever told you child

You gotta be your own best friend



Sunny days cloudy days

Always seem the same

If love were made of clouds I

Almost wish that it would rain

Even when the skies are clear

The weather's always blue

Every day would be nice If I had

Someone I could come home to



Love is it really love at all

Or something that I heard love called

Something that I heard love called



Now life can sometimes slip away

And love can pass you by

If only it had been another place another time

Maybe there'll be someone who likes to see you smile

Who will want to stay with you

And be your friend for a little while

Then wake up in the morning

Feeling so alive

Something you can hold on to

Not a shadow by your side

I guess that there'll be time to talk

Of things that we've been through

That special time when all is real

To feel reborn when love is new



Love is it really love at all

Or something that I heard love called

Something that I heard love called



Then sundown comes around again

You find yourself alone

Wander through a sea of eyes but always on your own

Was it really all you thought that it was suppose to be

Or are you just another face

In someone's fading memory



Love is it really love at all

Or something that I heard love called

Something that I heard love called

Terrapin station - lady with a fan - Grateful Dead

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme, suggesting rhythm,
That will not forsake you, till my tale is told and done.
While the firelights aglow, strange shadows from the flames will grow,
Till things weve never seen will seem familiar.

Shadows of a sailor, forming winds both foul and fair all swarm.
Down in carlisle, he loved a lady many years ago.
Here beside him stands a man, a soldier from the looks of him,
Who came through many fights, but lost at love.

While the story teller speaks, a door within the fire creaks;
Suddenly flies open, and a girl is standing there.
Eyes alight, with glowing hair, all that fancy paints as fair,
She takes her fan and throws it, in the lions den.

Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?
I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance.
The sailor gave at least a try, the soldier being much too wise,
Strategy was his strength, and not disaster.

The sailor, coming out again, the lady fairly leapt at him.
Thats how it stands today. you decide if he was wise.
The story teller makes no choice. soon you will not hear his voice.
His job is to shed light, and not to master.

Since the end is never told, we pay the teller off in gold,
In hopes he will return, but he cannot be bought or sold.

Terrapin station

Inspiration, move me brightly. light the song with sense and color;
Hold away despair, more than this I will not ask.
Faced with mysteries dark and vast, statements just seem vain at last.
Some rise, some fall, some climb, to get to terrapin.

Counting stars by candlelight, all are dim but one is bright;
The spiral light of venus, rising first and shining best,
On, from the northwest corner, of a brand new crescent moon,
While crickets and cicadas sing, a rare and different tune,
Terrapin station.

In the shadow of the moon, terrapin station.
And I know well get there soon, terrapin station.
I cant figure out, terrapin, if its the end or beginning, terrapin,
But the trains put its brakes on, terrapin,
And the whistle is screaming, terrapin.

Terrapin station - at the siding

While you were gone, these faces filled with darkness.
The obvious was hidden. with nothing to believe in,

Sullen wings of fortune beat like rain.
Youre back in terrapin for good or ill again, for good or ill again.

What Would I Want? Sky by Animal Collective. you have to listen to the song, the mood and rhythm make the lyrics more than what they are imo.

Is everything alright?
You feeling moany?
You feeling lonely?
You're not the only

Is everything alright?
You feeling stormy?
You feeling phoney?
You're not the only

Do you get up up up?
Clouds stop and move above me
Too bad they can't help me
What is the right way?

Do I float up up up?
When I stop and look around me
Grey is where the color should be
What is the right way?

Old glasses clinking and a
New order's blinking
and I -
I should be floating but I'm weighted by thinking

That I got on the river
Really can't make you change
And the sky gets filled up too fast
and the taxi man's saying, "You betta
give me some money; stop daydreaming, dude!"
When the point of horizon is hiding from you
What would you want sky?

(repeat pretty much with a few words different)

What would I want? Sky

 

thanks for the correction

Johnny Cash -Redemption


From the hands it came down
From the side it came down
From the feet it came down
And ran to the ground
Between heaven and hell
A teardrop fell In the deep crimson dew
The tree of life grew

And the blood gave life
To the branches of the tree
And the blood was the price
That set the captives free
And the numbers that came
Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree
And were redeemed by the blood

From the tree streamed a light
That started the fight 'Round the tree grew a vine
On whose fruit I could dine
My old friend Lucifer came
Fought to keep me in chains
But I saw through the tricks
Of six-sixty-six

And the blood gave life
To the branches of the tree
And the blood was the price
That set the captives free
And the numbers that came
Through the fire and the flood Clung to the tree
And were redeemed by the blood

From his hands it came down
From his side it came down
From his feet it came down
And ran to the ground
And a small inner voice Said "You do have a choice."
The vine engrafted me
And I clung to the tree

 

Quas
When he really hits star-mode
Never will he boost loose Phillies with the barcode
Or take a whole car load on a wasted trip
Or split White Owls laced tip to tip with yip
Some rather baggies, others like their crack in vials
Roll a bag of shwag in a black and mild
He twist Optimos, just the raw leaf part
The list top go bust before a beef start
At the Stop-N-Go mart acting like a spirit host done it
America's most blunted

DOOM nominated for the best rolled L's
And they wonder how he dealt with stress so well
Wild guess - you could say he stayed sedated
Some say booted, some say faded
Some day pray that he will grow a farm barn full
Recent research shows it not so darn harmful
Sometimes you might need to detox
It can help you with your rhyme flow
And your beat box
Off spikes for your surprise
Turn a Newport Light to a joint right before your eyes
Tear a page out the Good Book
Hear it how you want it
America's most blunted


DOOM
The Mad Villain killin' mad boom
Consume weed and drink brew 'til we perfume the room
The beat conductor smoke 24-7
Shadey!
You can even ask my reverend
Willy knows
How the Phillies roll, really 'doh
I'll spend my last dough
If you got the sticky gold?
I spark da la
But dont fuck with speed or trees with seeds
Quasimoto crew, we get keys
The most blunted on the map
The one astro black in an alley with a hood rat
When you try to react
Even your pops got smack
Even your moms got crack
Meanwhile...
While my bowl got packed
Gulp!
Drop X so you could have good sex
I smoke dank so I can grow me a shank!
I got the fat sack
Shhh
All day I'm on it
America's most blunted

 

IAMX - Mercy

Mercy...
When I melt in the kiss by the words and the whispers you sing me
Mercy...
And I'm frail in the kill by submission and will that you bring me
Mercy...
When I'm nothing but ego, you slap me to let go and sleep free
Now I sleep free

You're my toybox
You're my memories
When I smell your skin you just make my whole world weep
I'm at your feet
I'm at your feet

Mercy...
when the grey turns to black and the wave's on my back, you make me smile
Mercy...
Is the trauma no martyr you crush into pleasure and downtown
Mercy...
It's the shining of you that just breaks me in two like a lifeline
You're my lifeline

I'm the idiot to your poetry
When you burn you bleach
Everything and all I need
Is at your feet
Is at your feet

Mercy...
Are the licks and the lips of temptation, just tricks, not for playing?
Mercy...
Are you the camera suck, gun slut to headphone fuck holes in my being
Mercy...
Are you everything which put the sex into bitch, or just faking?
Do you fake it?

So I celebrate your chemistry
If you bond with me
I could make your whole world sweet
I'm on my knees
I'm on my knees

On my knees
On my knees
On my knees
On my knees

Morrissey - Let Me Kiss You

There's a place in the sun for anyone
Who has the will
To chase one
And I think I found mine
Yes, I do believe I have found mine

So, close your eyes
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you, oh
Let me kiss you, oh

I zigzagged all over America
And I cannot find
A safety haven
Say, would you let me cry on your shoulder?
I've heard that you'd try anything twice

Close your eyes
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you, oh
Let me kiss you, oh

But then you open your eyes
And you see someone that you physically despise
But my heart is open
My heart is open to you...

Dire Straits - Romeo & Juliet

A love-struck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made.
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"
He's underneath the window, she's singing, "Hey la, my boyfriend's back.
You shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that...
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
And I bet when you exploded into my heart
And I forget I forget the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they're both the streets of shame.
Both dirty, both mean, yes, in the dream it was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver,
You can fall for chains of gold,
You can fall for pretty strangers
And the promises they hold.
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah!
Now you just say, "Oh Romeo? Yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him".

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry.
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".
There's a place for us, you know the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talk, like the talk on TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you.
I can't do anything, 'cept be in love with you!
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be.
All I do is keep the beat... and bad company.
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme,
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry.
You said, "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you 'til I die".
There's a place for us, you know the movie song.
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

And a love-struck Romeo sings a street-suss serenade
Laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade
He says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

You and me babe, how about it?

Everybody Hurts - REM
When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries
And everybody hurts, sometimes.

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. (repeat & fade)
(Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

 

Monsoon by Jack Johnson

I feel sorrow for the fear
And everything it brings
And wonder if it will ever sleep

I know you understand
Beause you briefly look away
Focusing on nothing so now everything is clear

Beause thereÂ’s no one to blame
You got no place to hide
ItÂ’s only in your mind

And I saw you
In amazement stumbling through the day
You told me time never waits
What is that supposed to mean

All of life
Is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
And take them from our eyes
Make them into monsoons
Turn them into monsoon-er or later
TheyÂ’ll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow always do all in due time
Because time never waits

Daddy donÂ’t daydream again
Just help me to believe and then
Show me that thereÂ’s more than the mean time

Sonny do you hear the sound
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when itÂ’s gone
How else can I explain

Because itÂ’s only the pain
Coming straight through
Coming to remind

Cross cut to you
in amazement stumbling through the day
You tell me time never waits
ThatÂ’s okay because I donÂ’t wait for time

When all of life
Is in one drop of the ocean
Waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
And take them from our eyes
Turn them into monsoons
Make them into monsoon-er or later
TheyÂ’ll weep their way back to the sea
Gonna finally be free
Free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow always break

All in due time
Beause time never waits

 

Jason Mraz- If It Kills Me

Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
And it would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now

And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
Cause you and I
Why, we go carrying on for hours, on and
We get along much better
Than you and your boyfriend

Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

Well how long, can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you,
Before I rightly explode?
This double life I lead isn't healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all

Baby there's a lot that I miss
In case I'm wrong

Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

If I should be so bold
I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
Tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
But I never said a word
I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
I think it might kill me

And all I really want from you is to feel me
It's a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
It might kill me

 

These are the lyrics for the second and third verses of a song by Lupe Fiasco called "Intruder Alert":

He said nobody else ever loved him
That's why he gets high enough to go touch the heavens above him
Vividly remembers every pipe, every needle that stuck him
Every alley he'd ever slept in, every purse that he snuck in
Every level of hell he's been to and the one that he's stuck in
The one he can't escape, even though it's of his own construction
Maybe you can relate
Maybe you're one of those that just doesn't
Maybe he doesn't care
Loves to allow these demons to come in
With no intruder alert


Famine striking his homeland
And no social standing in the economic peckin order
Emergency relief distribution systems are in disorder
He's checkin the water
Makin sure it's safe enough for his daughter to float across
And the boat he built's hopefully strong enough to support her
Praying border patrol don't catch her ass, process and deport her
Before she reaches the shore of the land of the free where they feed
Treat you as equals, decieve you
Stamp you and call you illegal
When there's an intruder alert

 

Artist : Bob Dylan
Song : Tangled Up In Blue

Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’,
I was layin’ in bed
Wond’rin’ if she’d changed at all
If her hair was still red.
Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like mama’s homemade dress
Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough.
And I was standin’ on the side of the road
Rain fallin’ on my shoes
Heading out for the east coast
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues gettin’ through,
Tangled up in blue.

She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
But I used a little too much force.
We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing it was best.
She turned around to look at me
As I was walkin’ away
I heard her say over my shoulder,
"we’ll meet again someday on the
avenue,"
Tangled up in blue.

I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that much
And one day the ax just fell.
So I drifted down to new orleans
Where I happened to be employed
Workin’ for a while on a fishin’ boat
Right outside of delacroix.
But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind,
I seen a lot of women
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
Tangled up in blue.

She was workin’ in a topless place
And I stopped in for a beer,
I just kept lookin’ at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear.
And later on as the crowd thinned out
I’s just about to do the same,
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me, "don’t I know your name? "
I muttered somethin’ underneath my breath,
She studied the lines on my face.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
Tangled up in blue.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a
pipe
"i thought you’d never say hello," she
said
"you look like the silent type."
Then she opened up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an italian poet
From the thirteenth century.
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin’ coal
Pourin’ off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.

I lived with them on montague street
In a basement down the stairs,
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air.
Then he started into dealing with slaves
And something inside of him died.
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.
And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn,
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keepin’ on like a bird that flew,
Tangled up in blue.

So now I’m goin’ back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They’re an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter’s wives.
Don’t know how it all got started,
I don’t know what they’re doin’ with their
lives.
But me, I’m still on the road
Headin’ for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.

 

The Evil That Men Do - Iron Maiden


Love is a razor and I walked the line
On that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter
Her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
I only I could see her now

 

I chose two songs I've been listening to lately. So, here they are:
Billie Holiday-How deep is the ocean?
How much do I love you?
I’ll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?

How many times a day do I think of you?
How many roses are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean?
How high is the sky?


Chet Baker - You don't know what Love is
You don’t know what love is
Until you’ve learned the meaning of the blues
Until you’ve loved a love you had to loose
You don’t know what love is

You don’t know how lips hurt
Until you’ve kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you’ve flipped you’re heart and you have lost
You don’t know what love is

Do you know how lost hearts fear
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips tasting of tears
Loose the taste for kissing

You don’t know how hearts yearn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you’ve faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
How could you know what love is


Also, if you like this type of songs, check "Almost Blue" by Chet too.

 

Lyrics to No Excuses :
It's alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold

Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too

Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
