FREE FALLIN' - TOM PETTY

 

She's a good girl, loves her mama

loves Jesus, and America too

She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis

Loves horses and her boyfriend too

 

It's a long day livin' in Reseda

there's a free-way runnin' through the yard

and I'm a bad boy, cause I don't even miss her

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

 

Chorus:

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'

 

All the vampires walkin' through the valley

move west down Ventura Blvd.

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows

All the good girls are home with broken hearts

 

Repeat Chorus

 

I wanna glide down over Mulholland

I wanna write her name in the sky

I wanna free fall out into nothin'

Gonna leave this world for awhile..............

 

 

me hails from another realm anywayz ;-)

[plainly_female]

you were gone in a flash!....but what a flash view that was

yes next time, the gig's longer.....

i hear yah....

 

forgive me coz today i got a hangover from watching this old flick...

 

 

SECRET GARDEN - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

 

She'll let you in her house

If you come knockin' late at night

She'll let you in her mouth

If the words you say are right

If you pay the price

She'll let you deep inside

But there's a secret garden she hides

 

She'll let you in her car

To go drivin' round

She'll let you into the parts of herself

That'll bring you down

She'll let you in her heart

If you got a hammer and a vise

But into her secret garden, don't think twice

 

You've gone a million miles

How far'd you get

To that place where you can't remember

And you can't forget

 

She'll lead you down a path

There'll be tenderness in the air

She'll let you come just far enough

So you know she's really there

She'll look at you and smile

And her eyes will say

She's got a secret garden

Where everything you want

Where everything you need

Will always stay

A million miles away...........

[plainly_female]

Thanks lady, and for the two other beatle songs. Strawberry fields remix had a femal vocalist, and it was as haunting as the original.

 

haunting, touching,

 

How few are the groups/singers that can do that now...

 

I am sitting here on the 12th floor, on a sunny January afternoon. The sky and sunlight cloth the city in sparkles and white, and inside me the music plays crystal...

 

 

rgds, LC

hey there, lc.

 

lennon is an extraordinary one. aside from that other composition--IMAGINE---

 

here is the cut that makes me wish i could jump back into his era.

 

just one hug. bwaha. :upside:

 

 

WOMAN

 

Woman I can hardly express

My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness

After all I'm forever in your debt

And woman I will try to express

My inner feelings and thankfulness

For showing me the meaning of success

 

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

 

Woman I know you understand

The little child inside of the man

Please remember my life is in your hands

And woman hold me close to your heart

However distant don't keep us apart

After all it is written in the stars

 

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Ooh, well, well

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Well

 

Woman please let me explain

I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain

So let me tell you again and again and again

 

I love you, yeah, yeah

Now and forever.........

"32 Flavors"

 

squint your eyes and look closer

I'm not between you and your ambition

I am a poster girl with no poster

I am thirty-two flavors and then some

and I'm beyond your peripheral vision

so you might want to turn your head

cause someday you're going to get hungry

and eat most of the words you just said

 

both my parents taught me about good will

and I have done well by their names

just the kindness I've lavished on strangers

is more than I can explain

still there's many who've turned out their porch lights

just so I would think they were not home

and hid in the dark of their windows

til I'd passed and left them alone

 

and god help you if you are an ugly girl

course too pretty is also your doom

cause everyone harbors a secret hatred

for the prettiest girl in the room

and god help you if you are a pheonix

and you dare to rise up from the ash

a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy

while you are just flying back

 

I'm not trying to give my life meaning

by demeaning you

and I would like to state for the record

I did everything that I could do

I'm not saying that I'm a saint

I just don't want to live that way

no, I will never be a saint

but I will always say

 

squint your eyes and look closer

I'm not between you and your ambition

I am a poster girl with no poster

I am thirty-two flavors and then some

And I'm beyond your peripheral vision

So you might want to turn your head

Cause someday you might find you're starving

and eating all of the words you said

DISARM

Smashing Pumpkins

 

"Disarm you with a smile

And cut you like you want me to

Cut that little child

Inside of me and such a part of you

 

Oh...he is burned

Oh...he is burned

 

I used to be a little bo

So old in my shoes

And what I choose is my choice

What's a boy supposed to do

 

Disarm you with a smile

And leave you like you left me here

To wither in denial

The bitterness of one whose left alone

 

Oh...he is burned

Oh...he is burned

 

I used to be a little boy

So old in my shoes

And what I choose is my voice

What's a boy supposed to do

 

The killer in me is the killer in you

My love...

 

Send this smile over to you...

[midnightmachine01]

JUDITH

A Perfect Circle

 

You're such an inspiration for the ways

That I'll never ever choose to be

Oh so many ways for me to show you

How the savior has abandoned you

f**k your God

Your Lord and your Christ

He did this

Took all you had and

Left you this way

Still you pray, you never stray

Never taste of the fruit

You never thought to question why

 

It's not like you killed someone

It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side

Praise the one who left you

Broken down and paralyzed

He did it all for you

He did it all for you

 

Oh so many many ways for me to show you

How your dogma has abandoned you

Pray to your Christ, to your god

Never taste of the fruit

Never stray, never break

Never---choke on a lie

Even though he's the one who did this to you

You never thought to question why

 

Not like you killed someone

It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side

Talk to Jesus Christ

As if he knows the reasons why

He did it all for you

Did it all for you

He did it all for you..

[midnightmachine01]

MEGALOMANIAC

Incubus

 

I hear you on the radio

You permeate my screen, its' unkind but

If I met you in a scissor fight

I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone

On principle alone

 

Hey megalomaniac

You're not Jesus

Yeah, you're no f**king Elvis

Special, as you know yourself, maniac

Step down

Step down

 

If I were your appendages

I'd hold open your eyes

So you would see

That all of us are heaven sent

There was never meant to be only one

To be only one

 

Hey megalomaniac

You're not Jesus

Yeah, you're no f**king Elvis

Special, as you know yourself, maniac

Step down

Step down

 

Yeah

You're no Jesus

You're not Elvis

...

You're no answer

 

Hey megalomaniac

You're not Jesus

Yeah, you're no f**king Elvis

Special, as you know yourself, maniac

Step down

[BulBangs]

Counting Crows

 

A MURDER OF ONE

 

Blue morning Blue morning

Wrapped in strands of fist and bone

Curiosity, Kitten,

Doesn't have to mean you're on your own

You can look outside your window

He doesn't have to know

We can talk awhile, baby

We can take it nice and slow

 

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame

All your love is just a dream, dream, dream

 

Are you happy when you're sleeping?

Does he keep you safe and warm?

Does he tell you when you're sorry?

Does he tell you when you're wrong?

I've been watching you for hours

It's been years since we were born

We were perfect when we started

I've been wondering where we've gone

 

All your life is such a shame

All your love is just a dream

 

 

I dreamt I saw you walking up a hillside in the snow

Casting shadows on the winter sky as you stood there counting crows

One for sorrow Two for joy, Three for girls and four for boys

Five for silver Six for gold and Seven for a secret never to be told

There's a bird that nests inside you

Sleeping underneath your skin

When you open up your wings to speak

I wish you'd let me in

 

All your life is such a shame

All your love is just a dream

Open up your eyes

You can see the flames of your wasted life

You should be ashamed

You don't want to waste your life

 

 

I walk along these hillsides In the summer 'neath the sunshine

 

I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me

 

 

Change, change, change

[cunning]

Best Deceptions

 

...

 

I heard about your regrets.

I heard that you were feeling sorry.

I heard from someone that you wish you could set things right between us.

Well I guess I should have heard of them from you.

I guess I should have heard of them from you.

 

I'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers,

I'll be all right when my hands get warm.

Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing.

I'd rather you'd never heard my voice.

too late to be gracious

and you do not warrant long good-byes.

You're calling too late.

[Zerreit]

"That I Would Be Good"

Alanis Morisette

 

that I would be good even if I did nothing

that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down

that I would be good if I got and stayed sick

that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

 

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt

that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth

that I would be great if I was no longer queen

that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

 

that I would be loved even when I numb myself

that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed

that I would be loved even when I was fuming

that I would be good even if I was clingy

 

that I would be good even if I lost sanity

that I would be good

whether with or without you

[howler]

Behind Blue Eyes

LIMP BIZKIT

 

 

No one knows what it's like

To be the bad man

To be the sad man

Behind blue eyes

And no one knows

What it's like to be hated

To be faded to telling only lies

[chorus]

But my dreams they aren't as empty

As my conscious seems to be

I have hours, only lonely

My love is vengeance

That's never free

No one knows what its like

To feel these feelings

Like i do, and i blame you!

No one bites back as hard

On their anger

None of my pain woe

Can show through

[chorus]

Discover l.i.m.p. say it [x4]

No one knows what its like

To be mistreated, to be defeated

Behind blue eyes

No one know how to say

That they're sorry and don't worry

I'm not telling lies

[chorus]

No one knows what its like

To be the bad man, to be the sad man

Behind blue eyes.

[kadafy]

i love the emotions in this one. just... strong...

 

 

softly

i will leave you softly

for my heart will break

if you should wake

and see me go

so i'll leave you...

 

softly

long before you miss me

long before your arms

can beg me stay

for one more hour

for one more day

 

after all the years

i can't bear the tears to fall

so softly

as i leave you there

 

....

 

(senti mode on)

[Zerreit]

' CRIMINAL '

Words & Music: Fiona Apple

 

I've been a bad, bad girl

I've been careless with a delicate man

And it's a sad sad world

When a girl will break a boy

Just because she can

Don't you tell me to deny it

I've done wrong and I want to

Suffer for my sins

I've come to you 'cause I need

Guidance to be true

And I just don't know where I can begin

 

What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love

 

Heaven help me for the way I am

Save me from these evil deeds

Before I get them done

I know tomorrow brings the consequence

At hand

But I keep livin' this day like

The next will never come

 

Oh help me but don't tell me

To deny it

I've got to cleanse myself

Of all these lies till I'm good

Enough for him

I've got a lot to lose and I'm

Bettin' high

So I'm beggin' you before it ends

Just tell me where to begin

 

What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love

 

Let me know the way

Before there's hell to pay

Give me room to lay the law and let me go

I've got to make a play

To make my lover stay

So what would an angel say

The devil wants to know

 

What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love

 

What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to be redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

 

Because he's all I ever knew of love

[Zerreit]

"Alcohol"

Barenaked Ladies

 

Alcohol, my permanent accessory

Alcohol, a party-time necessity

Alchool, alternative to feeling like yourself

O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

 

I love you more than I did the week before

I discovered alcohol

 

Forget the caffe latte,

screw the raspberry iced tea

A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me

Alcohol, Your songs resolve like

my life never will

When someone else is picking up the bill

 

I love you more than I did the week before

I discovered alcohol

O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?

For while I cannot love myself

I'll use something else

 

I thought that Alcohol was just for those with

nothing else to do

I thought that drinking just to get drunk

was a waste of precious booze

But now I know that there's a time

and there's a place where I can choose

To walk the fine line between

self-control and self-abuse

 

I love you more than I did the week before

I discovered alcohol

Would you please ignore that you

found me on the floor

Trying on your camisole?

O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?

For while I cannot love myself

I'll use something else

 

Would you please forgive me?

Would you please forgive me?

[MarkXXX]

Have you ever been caught in heavy traffic one saturday night and then you hear this song on the car radio?

 

WICKED!!!

 

 

I LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE

Alicia Bridges

 

Please don't talk about love tonight.

Please don't talk about sweet love.

Please don't talk about being true

and all the trouble we've been through.

 

Ah, please don't talk about all of the plans

we had for fixin' this broken romance.

I want to go where the people dance.

 

I want some action ... I want to live!

 

Action ... I got so much to give.

I want to give it. I want to get some too

 

Oh, I ... Ohhh I ...

I love the nightlife,

I got to boogie

on the disco 'round, oh yea.

Oh, I love the night life,

I got to boogie

on the disco 'round, oh yea.

 

Please don't talk about love tonight.

Your sweet talking won't make it right.

Love and lies just bring me down

when you've got women all over town.

You can love them all and when you're through,

maybe that'll make, huh, a man out of you.

I got to go where the people dance.

I want some action ... I want to live!

 

Action ... I got so much to give.

I want to give it. I want to get some too.

 

Oh, I ... Ohhh I ... I love the nightlife,

I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.

Oh, I love the night life,

I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.

 

Oh, I love the night life,

I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.

Oh, I love the night life,

I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.

I love the night life,

I got to boogie on the disco 'round, oh yea.
