Song Lyrics

More Sting...

 

"All This Time"

 

I looked out across

The river today,

I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower

Where the seagulls play.

I saw the sad shire horses walking home

In the sodium light

I saw two priests on the ferry

October geese on a cold winter's night

 

And all this time, the river flowed

Endlessly to the sea.

 

Two priests came round our house tonight

One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying

To serve the final rite,

One to learn, one to teach,

Which way the cold wind blows

Fussing and flapping in priestly black

Like a murder of crows

 

And all this time, the river flowed

Endlessly to the sea

If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river

And I'd bury the old man,

I'd bury him at sea

 

Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth

Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of a needle

And as these words were spoken I swear I hear

The old man laughing,

'What good is a used up world, and how could it be

worth having'

 

And all this time the river flowed

Endlessly like a silent tear

And all this time the river flowed

Father, if Jesus exists,

Then how come he never lived here.

 

The teacher told us, the Romans built this place

They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire

Garrison town,

They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods

But the stone gods did not make a sound

And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left

Were the stones the workmen found

 

And all this time the river flowed

In the falling light of a northern sun

If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river

Men go crazy in congregations

But they only get better

One by one

One by one...

 

"Heavy Cloud No Rain"

 

Turned on the weather man just after the news

I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues

He looked at the chart but he looked in vain

Heavy cloud but no rain

 

Back in the time with Louis XVI

At the court of the people he was number one

He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen

When the king said hi to the guillotine

The royal astrologer was run out of breath

He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death

He look in the sky but he look in vain

Heavy cloud but no rain

 

Well the land was cracking and the river was dry

All the crops were dying when they ought to be high

So to save his farm from the banker's draft

The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft

He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night

He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight

He prayed to the sky but he prayed in vain

Heavy cloud but no rain

Heavy cloud but no rain

 

The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone

The clouds won't go till their work is done

And every morning you'll hear me pray

If only it would rain today

 

I asked my baby if there'd be some way

She said she'd save her love for a rainy day

I look in the sky but I look in vain

Heavy cloud but no rain

 

"One World (Not Three)"

 

One world is enough

For all of us

One world is enough

For all of us

 

It's a subject we rarely mention

But when we do we have this little invention

By pretending they're a different world from me

I show my responsibility

 

One world is enough

For all of us

One world is enough

For all of us

 

The third world breathes our air tomorrow

We live on the time we borrow

In our world there's no time for sorrow

In their world there is no tomorrow

 

One world is enough

For all of us

One world is enough

For all of us

 

Lines are drawn upon the world

Before we get our flags unfurled

Whichever one we pick

It's just a self deluding trick

 

One world is enough

For all of us

One world is enough

For all of us

 

I don't want to bring a sour note

Remember this before you vote

We can all sink or we all float

'Cos we're all in the same big boat

 

One world is enough

For all of us

One world is enough

For all of us

 

One world is enough

For all of us

One world is enough

For all of us

 

One world is enough

For all of us

 

It may seem a million miles away

But it gets a little closer everyday

It may seem a million miles away

But it gets a little closer everyday

It may seem a million miles away

But it gets a little closer everyday

 

"Don't Stand So Close To Me"

 

Young teacher, the subject

Of schoolgirl fantasy

She wants him so badly

Knows what she wants to be

Inside her there's longing

This girl's an open page

Book marking - she's so close now

This girl is half his age

 

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

 

Her friends are so jealous

You know how bad girls get

Sometimes it's not so easy

To be the teacher's pet

Temptation, frustration

So bad it makes him cry

Wet bus stop, she's waiting

His car is warm and dry

 

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

 

Loose talk in the classroom

To hurt they try and try

Strong words in the staffroom

The accusations fly

It's no use, he sees her

He starts to shake and cough

Just like the old man in

That book by Nabakov

 

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

 

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

[NaTE_DaWG]

very special by big daddy kane

 

 

My, my, my, yes, I must admit

That I have never knew love like this before

And I adore everything about you

I do mean every part of

For meeting someone this beautiful, have mercy

I wanna kiss ya father

You're the kinda girl I wanna get closer to

Become the most to you like love is supposed to do

Cuz I fell straight into your trap

And since they say love is blind

I'm the Ray Charles of rap

And I'm waiting for you to put me in your mix

Because ya got my nose open like a jar of Vicks

I'll be your king, baby, you can be my queen

Uh, let's stay together like Al Green because

 

CHORUS

All my love is all I have

And my dreams are very special

All my life I looked for you

And today my dreams come true

You need me and I need you

Love in us is very special

Things you seem to do devine

You look straight into my eyes

Oh, our love was meant to be

Cuz our souls touch tenderly

Love is life and life is living very special

 

Well I must admit that you know how to treat a woman

Don't stop your love, like Keith Sweat, keep it comin'

And our relationship won't ever get dull

Because you're always on my mind even more than my own skull

You're always givin' me respect and chivalry

And I can't wait for your enticing delivery

Staying together is a must

Those tropicana drinks don't blend as good as us

We were made for each other, meant for one another

Neither one of us needs another lover

And just so it can stay that way

Yo, I'm on your side like Jennifer Holiday because

 

CHORUS

 

I talk the macho talk and keep my real feelings hidden

But what about that "pimpin' ain't easy stuff"?

Aw, I was just kiddin'

Cuz if we unite, baby, I'd do ya right

Well I hope you meant that mushy stuff you told Barry White

Because I think I know you well enough to be understood

Well let's talk about sex, babe

No, not that good

But Spinderella, yes, Miss, I'll still persist

Well since you put it like that Daddy then we can do this

 

CHORUS

 

I wanna give ya my love

Cuz you're the only one I'm thinking of

I wanna give my love

Cuz you're the only one I'm thinking of

I wanna give ya my love

Cuz you're the only one I'm thinking of

[kRissY]

I've walked these streets

A virtual stage

It seemed to me

Make-up on their faces

Actors took their places

Next to me

I've walked these streets

In a carnival

Of sights to see

All the cheap thrill seekers

The vendors and the dealers

They crowded around me

Have I been blind

Have I been lost

Inside myself and

My own mind

Hypnotized

Mesmerized

By what my eyes have seen?

I've walked these streets

In a spectacle of wealth and poverty

In the diamonds markets

The scarlet welcome carpet

That they just rolled out for me

I've walked these streets

In the mad house asylum

They can be

Where a wild eyed misfit prophet

On a traffic island stopped

And he raved of saving me

Have I been blind

Have I been lost

Inside myself and

My own mind

Hypnotized

Mesmerized

By what my eyes have seen?

Have I been wrong

Have I been wise

To shut my eyes

And play along

Hypnotized

Mesmerized

By what my eyes have found

By what my eyes have seen

What they have seen?

Have I been blind

Have I been lost

Have I been wrong

Have I been wise

Have I been strong

Hypnotized

Mesmerized

By what my eyes have found

In that great street carnival

In that carnival?

Carnival - Natalie Merchant

LOVE MOVES (IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS)

Julia Fordham

 

 

Who'd have thought this is how the pieces fit

You and I shouldn't even try making sense of it

I forgot how we ever came this far

I believe we had reasons but I don't know what they are

Don't blame it on my heart, oh

 

Love moves in mysterious ways

It's always so surprising

When love appears over the horizon

I'll love you for the rest of my days

But still it's a mystery

How you ever came to me

Which only proves

Love moves in mysterious ways

 

Heaven knows love is just a chance we take

We make plans but then love demands a leap of faith

So hold me close and never never let me go

'Cos even though we think we know which way the river flows

That's not the way love goes, no

 

 

Like the ticking of a clock two hearts beat as one

But I'll never understand the way it's done, oh

 

Love moves... in mysterious ways....

[moon_over_bourbon_street]

Feeling a bit sentimental... Ella Fitzgerald did a version of this romantic little ditty...

 

"That Old Black Magic"

 

That old black magic has me in its spell

That old black magic that you weave so well

Icy fingers up and down my spine

 

The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

The same old tingle that I feel inside

When that elevator starts its ride

 

Down and down I go, round and round I go

Like a leaf that`s caught in the tide

I should stay away but what can I do

 

I hear your name, and I`m aflame

Aflame with such a burning desire

That only your kiss can put out the fire

 

You are the lover that I`ve waited for

The mate that fate had me created for

And every time your lips meet mine

Baby down and down I go, all around I go

 

In a spin, loving the spin that I`m in

Under that old black magic called love

[NaTE_DaWG]

Bring it over here and let's go back

Way back

Ooh...

Way back, yeah

 

I met him when I was a

Little girl, he gave me

He gave me poetry

And he was my first

 

But in my heart I knew I

Wasn't the only one

'Cause when the tables turned

He had to break up

 

Whenever I got lonely

Or needed some advice

He gave me his shoulder

His words were very nice

 

But that is all behind me

'Cause now there is no other

My love is his and his is mine

A friend became the

 

Love of my life

You are my friend

Love of my life

I can depend

Love of my life

Without you, baby

It feels like a simple true love

 

Hope this s@%t ain't clear

 

A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop

To the beat y'all and ya don't stop

A freak-freak

 

Or could it be that it was

All just so simple then

A teenage lover who said

He's just a friend

 

He moved around and we kept

In touch through his friend Mike

The world was young and he knew

We couldn't rush but

 

Whenever I got lonely

Or needed some advice

He gave me his shoulder

His words were very nice

 

But that is all behind me

'Cause now there is no other

My love is his and his is mine

A friend became the

 

Love of my life

You are my friend

Love of my life

A dude I can depend, yeah, yeah

Love of my life

Feels like a simple true love, yeah

 

Hope this s@%t ain't clear

 

[Common]

Y'all know how I met her

We broke up and got back together

To get her back I had to sweat her

Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways

Them boys may be better, to I had to let her (Never)

She needed cheddar and I understood that

Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat (Rat)

In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me

I love it when she sings to me

It's like that now

 

Love of my life

Ooh, you know you rock my world and

Love of my life

You be boy and I'll be girl and

Love of my life

We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh...

 

Love of my life

Ooh, you know you rock my world and

Love of my life

You be boy and I'll be girl and

Love of my life

Yeah...

Two More Sting Songs...

 

"Bring On The Night"

 

The afternoon has gently passed me by

The evening spreads its sail against the sky

Waiting for tomorrow

Just another day

God bid yesterday goodbye

 

Bring on the night

I couldn't spend another hour of daylight

Bring on the night

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

 

The future is but a question mark

Hangs above my head there in the dark

Can't see for the brightness

Is staring me blind

God bid yesterday goodbye

 

Bring on the night

I couldn't spend another hour of daylight

Bring on the night

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

 

Bring on the night

I couldn't spend another hour of daylight

Bring on the night

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

 

I couldn't stand another hour of daylight

(repeat and fade)

 

"A Thousand Years"

 

A thousand years, a thousand more

A thousand times a million doors to eternity

I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times

An endless turning stairway climbs

To a tower of souls

If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars

The towers rise to numberless floors in space

I could shed another millin tears, a million breaths

A million names but only one true face

 

A million roads, a million fears

A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty

I could speak another million lies, a million songs

A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time

But if there was a single truth, a single light

A single thought, a single touch of grace

Then following this single point, this single flame

This single haunted memory of your face

 

I still love you

I still want you

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves

Like Galaxies in my head

 

I maybe numberless, I may be innocent

I may know many things, I may be ignorant

Or I could ride with the kings and conquer many lands

Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands

I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times

Reborn a fortune's child to judge another's crimes

Or wera this pilgrims cloak, or be a common thief

I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief

 

I still love you

I still want you

A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves

Like Galaxies in my head

On and on the mysteries unwind themselves

Eternities still unsaid

'Til you love me

[CYCLONE21]

my stupid mouth has got me in trouble

I said too much again

to a date over dinner yesterday

and I could see she was offended

she said "well anyway"

just dying for a subject change

oh, another social casualty

score one more for me

how could I forget

mama said "think before speaking"

no filter in my head

oh, what's a boy to do?

I guess he better find one soon

we bit our lips

she looked out the window

rolling tiny balls of napkin paper

I played a quick game of chess

with the salt and pepper shaker

and I could see clearly

an indelible line was drawn

between what was good, what just slipped out

and what went wrong

oh, another social casualty

score one more for me

how could I forget

mama said "think before speaking"

No filter in my head

oh, what's a boy to do?

I guess he better find one soon

I'm never speaking up again

it only hurts me

I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me

oh, I'm never speaking up again

starting now

one more thing

why is it my fault?

so maybe I try too hard

but it's all because of this desire

I just want to be liked; I just want to be funny

look like the joke's on me

so call me Captain Backfire

oh, another social casualty

score one more for me

how could I forget

mama said "think before speaking"

no filter in my head

oh, what's a boy to do?

I guess he better find one soon

I'm never speaking up again

it only hurts me

I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me

oh, I'm never speaking up again

I'm never speaking up again

I'm never speaking up again

starting now

additional lyrics and intro/outros

so I faked an attitude

hell with you, take it or leave me

but the me she couldn't see

was wishing that I had

thirty something seconds back

-----------

No I was not listening, sorry missed it babe

Come around again

I said yes my head is swirling

Welcome to my world, it's population 1

You can't come

So take it or leave it

That's just who I am

It might be hard to believe it

But you know that you've got to understand

[CYCLONE21]

Hold on little girl

Show me what he's doone to you

Stand up little girl

A broken heart can't be that bad

When it's through, it's through

Fate will twist the both of you

So come on baby come on over

Let me be the one to show you

I'm the one who wants to be with you

Deep inside I hope you feel it too

Waited on a line of greens and blues

Just to be the next to be with you

 

Build up your confidence

So you can be on top for once

wake up who cares about

Little boys that talk too much

I seen it all go down

Your game of love was all rained out

So come on baby, come on over

Let me be the one to hold you

 

Chorus

Why be alone when we can be together baby

You can make my life worthwhile

And I can make you start to smile

[kRissY]

when i was young i knew everything

and she a punk who rarely ever took advice

now i'm guilt stricken,

sobbing with my head on the floor

stop a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

 

i can't be held responsible

cause she was touching her face

I won't be held responsible

she fell in love in the first place

 

for the life of me i cannot remember

what made us think that we were wise and

we'd never compromise

for the life of me i cannot believe

we'd ever die for these sins

we were merely freshmen

 

my best friend took a week's

vacation to forget her

his girl took a week's worth

valium and slept

now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his

head on the floor

thinks about her now and how he never really

wept he says

 

i can't be held responsible

cause she was touching her face

I won't be held responsible

she fell in love in the first place

 

for the life of me i cannot remember

what made us think that we were wise and

we'd never compromise

for the life of me i cannot believe

we'd ever die for these sins

we were merely freshmen

 

we've tried to wash our hands of all of this

we never talk of our lacking relationships

and how we're guilt stricken sobbing with our

heads on the floor

we fell through the ice when we tried not to

slip, we'd say

 

i can't be held responsible

cause she was touching her face

I won't be held responsible

she fell in love in the first place

 

for the life of me i cannot remember

what made us think that we were wise and

we'd never compromise

for the life of me i cannot believe

we'd ever die for these sins

we were merely freshmen

we were merely freshmen

we were only freshmen

 

The freshmen - verve pipe

[irshes]

I modified it for you. It doesn't quite fit to a T, but it will have to do.

You're right. Sometimes we just have to let things fall on its course. No rush.

Time apart. Maybe things will be ok by then. Take care.

 

 

John Mayer - My Stupid Mouth

 

My stupid mouth

Has got me in trouble

I said too much again

To a date over dinner Saturday

And I could see

He was offended

He said "well anyway..."

Just dying for a subject change

 

Oh, another social casualty

Score one more for me

How could I forget?

Mama said "think before speaking"

No filter in my head

Oh, what's a girl to do

I guess he better find one soon

 

We bit our lips

He looked out the window

Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper

I played a quick game of chess

with the salt and pepper shaker

And I could see clearly

An indelible line was drawn

Between what was good,

what just slipped out

and what went wrong

 

Oh, the way he feels

about me has changed

Thanks for playing, try again.

How could I forget?

Mama said "think before speaking"

No filter in my head

Oh, what's a girl to do

I guess he better find one

 

I'm never speaking up again

It only hurts me

I'd rather be a mystery

Than he desert me

 

Oh I'm never speaking up again

Starting now

 

One more thing

Why is it my fault?

So maybe I try too hard

But it's all because of this desire

I just wanna be liked

I just wanna be funny

Looks like the jokes on me

So call me captain backfire

 

Oh, the way he feels

about me has changed

Thanks for playing, try again.

How could I forget?

Mama said "think before speaking"

No filter in my head

Oh, what's a girl to do

I guess he better find one

 

I'm never speaking up again

It only hurts me

I'd rather be a mystery

Than he desert me

 

Oh I'm never speaking up again

Starting now

Turn back the hand of Father Time, and for one infinite moment, remember, the moment, the very first moment you felt Love's first falling... Lost in your reverie, these songs echo the distant, bittersweet memories of loves lost and hearts broken...

Loose talk in the classroom

To hurt they try and try

Strong words in the staffroom

Just like the old man in

Don't stand, don't stand so

Don't stand so close to me

 

"I Burn for You"

 

Now that I have found you

In the coolth of your evening smile

The shade of your parasol

 

And your love flows through me

Though I drink at your pool

I burn for you, I burn for

You and I are lovers

When night time folds around our bed

 

In peace we sleep entwined

And your love flows through me

Though an ocean soothes my head

I burn for you, I burn for

 

Stars will fall from dark skies

As ancient rocks are turning

Quiet fills the room

 

And your love flows through me

Though I lie here so still

I burn for you, I burn for you

I burn...

 

"Until"

 

If I caught the world in a bottle

And everything was still beneath the moon

Without your love would it shine for me?

If I was smart as Aristotle

And understood the rings around the moon

What would it all matter if you loved me?

 

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still

With a million dreams to fulfill

And a matter of moments until the dancing ends

Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear

Not a solitary thing would I fear

Except when this moment comes near the dancing's end

 

If I caught the world in an hourglass

Saddled up the moon so we could ride

Until the stars grew dim, Until...

 

One day you’ll meet a stranger

And all the noise is silenced in the room

You’ll feel that you're close to some mystery

In the moonlight and everything shatters

You feel as if you’ve known her all your life

The world’s oldest lesson in history

 

Here in your arms where the world is impossibly still

With a million dreams to fulfill

And a matter of moments until the dancing ends

Here in your arms when everything seems to be clear

Not a solitary thing do I fear

Except when this moment comes near the dancing’s end

 

Oh, if I caught the world in an hourglass

Saddled up the moon and we would ride

Until the stars grew dim

Until the time that time stands still, Until...

 

"Elaborate Lives"

Words by Tim Rice

 

We all live such elaborate lives

Wild ambitions in our sight

How an affair of the heart survives

Days apart and hurried nights

Seems quite unbelievable to me

I don’t want to live like that

I just want to our time to be

Slower and gentle, wiser, free

 

We all live in extravagant times

Playing games we can’t all win

Unintended emotional crimes

Take some out, take others in

I’m so tired of all we’re going through

I don’t want to live like that

I’m so tired of all we’re going through

I don’t want to love like that

I just want to be with you

Now and forever, peaceful, true

 

I wish I had the courage to tell you face to face

But I could wait forever for the perfect time and place

 

We all live such elaborate lives

We don’t know whose words are true

Strangers, lovers husbands, wives

Hard to know, who’s loving who

Too many choices tear us apart

I don’t want to live like that

Too many choices tear us apart

I don’t want to love like that

I just want to touch your heart

May this confession be the start

"I love it when you call me big pop-pa"

Throw your hands in the air, if youse a true player

"I love it when you call me big pop-pa"

To the honies gettin money playin niggaz like dummies

"I love it when you call me big pop-pa"

If you got a gun up in your waist please don't shoot up the place (why?)

Cause I see some ladies tonight who should be havin my baby; bay-bee

[damaso]

...so what is love then, is it dictated or chosen? does it sing like the hymns of a thousand years or is it just pop emotion? and if it ever was there and it left, does it mean it was never true?...

Insensitive by Jan Arden

 

How do you cool your lips,

after a summer's kiss?

How do you rid the sweat,

after the body bliss?

How do you turn your eyes,

from the romantic glare?

How do you block the sound of a voice,

you'd know anywhere?

Oh, I really should have known by the time you drove me home,

by the vagueness in your eyes, casual good-byes,

by the chill in your embrace, the expression on your face

that told me you might have

some advice to give, on how to be

insensitive

How do you numb your skin,

after the warmest touch?

How do you slow your blood,

after the body rush?

How do you free your soul,

after you've found a friend?

How do you teach your heart,

its a crime to fall in love again?

Oh, you probably won't remember me,

its probably ancient history.

I'm one of the chosen few

who went ahead and fell for you.

I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch,

I fell too fast, I feel too much.

I thought that you might have

some advice to give, on how to be

insensitive.

While some of the tracks and musical style used in Sting's "Brand New Day" album didn't quite sit well with me, there are nevertheless beautifully written songs... Imagine. Picture yourself in something out of an "Arabian Nights" tale... The desert sun, sand and sky of the middle east...

 

"Desert Rose"

 

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the desert sand

I wake in pain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

 

I dream of fire

These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames

Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

 

This desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

 

And as she turns

This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams

this fire burns

I realise that nothing's as it seems

 

I dream of rain

I dream of gardens in the sdesert sand

I wake in pain

I dream of love as time runs through my hand

 

I dream of rain

I lift my gaze to empty skies above

I close my eayes, this rare perfume

Is the sweetest intoxication of her love

 

I dream of fire

These dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire

And in the flames

Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

 

Sweet desert rose

Each of her veils, a secret promise

This desert flower

No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

 

Sweet desert rose

This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower, this rare perfume

Is the sweet intoxication of the fall

 

 

"After The Rain Has Fallen"

 

The palace guards are all sleeping

Their fires burn into the night

There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon

And all that's left is a quarter moon of light

 

He climbs up through the darkness

No weapon but his surprise

The greatest thief in the high Sahara

Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies

 

All your money, your pretty necklace

This is my work on such a night

There's a storm coming over the mountain

I'll be gone long before the morning

 

After the rain has fallen

After the tears have washed your eyes

You find that I've taken nothing, that

Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

 

He was as gentle as the night wind

As no lover had been before

And the rings she wore for her bride groom

Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor

 

Take me with you take me with you

Before my lonely life is set

I've been promised to another

To a man I've never even met

 

After the rain has fallen

After the tears have washed your eyes

You'll find that I've take nothing, that

Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken, and

After the lightning bolt's been hurled

After the dream is broken, there’ll

Still be love in the world

 

She said take me to another life

Take me for a pirate's wife

Take me where the wind blows

Take me where the red wine flows

Take me to the danger

Take me to the life of crime

Take me to the stars

Take me to the moon while we still have time

 

After the rain has fallen

After the tears have washed your eyes

You'll find that I've taken nothing, that

Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken, and

After the lightning bolt's been hurled

After the dream is broken, there’ll

Still be love in the world

"Let Me Be The One"

by Jimmy Bondoc

 

Somebody told me you were leavin’

I didn’t know

Somebody told me you’re unhappy

But it doesn’t show

Somebody told me that you don’t want me no more

So you’re walkin’ out the door

Nobody told me you’ve been cryin’

Every night

Nobody told me you’d been dyin’

But didn’t want to fight

Nobody told me that you fell out of love from me

So I’m settin’ you free

 

[Ref:]

Let me be the one to break it up

So you won’t have to make excuses

We don’t need to find a set up where

Someone wins and someone loses

We just have to say our love was true

But has now become a lie

So I’m tellin’ you I love you one last time

And goodbye

 

Somebody told me you still loved me

Don’t know why

Nobody told me that you only

Needed time to fly

Somebody told me that you want to come back when

Our love is true again

 

[ref then bridge]

 

[bridge:]

Just turn around and walk away

You don’t have to live like this

If you love me still then stay

Don’t keep me waiting for that final kiss

We can work together through this test

Or we can work through it apart

I just need to get this off my chest

That you will always have my heart

[ref]

[jumborat]

Chorus from "In Da Club" by 50 Cent

 

"You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub

Look mami I got the X if you into taking drugs

I'm into having sex, I ain't into making love

So come give me a hug if you into to getting rubbed"

One Night

Music: Caroline Corr

Lyrics: Andrea & Caroline Corr

Transcript: www.corrsonline.com

 

 

Lond day and I'm ready - I'm waiting for your call

'Cos I've made up my mind

My heart aches with a hunger and the want that you were mine

No I cannot deny

 

So for one night, is it alright

That I give... you

My heart, my love, my heart

Just for one night

My body, my soul

Just for one night

My love, my love

For one night, one night, one night

 

When morning awakes me

Well I know I'll be alone

And I feel I'll be fine

So don't you worry about me

I'm not empty on my own

For inside I'm alive

 

That for one night, it was so right

That I gave... you

My heart (my heart...), my love, my heart

Just for one night (one night...)

My body, my soul

Just for one night (one night...)

My love, I loved

For one night (one night...), one night, one night

 

[Guitar solo]

 

For one night, it was so right

That I gave... you

My heart (my heart), my love, my heart

Just for one night (one night...)

My body, my soul

Just for one night (one night...)

My love, my love

For one night (one night), one night, one night

One night...

Keith Martin - Because Of You

 

Spoken:

Look, why don't you play that song you played for me yesterday?

Oh ok yeah, that song because of you, cool

This is a song called because of you...written because of you...here we go

Verse 1:

...oh yah, oh yah...

If ever you wondered if you touched my soul yes you do

Since I met you I'm not the same

You bring life to everything I do

Just the way you say hello

With one touch I can't let go

Never thought I'd fall in love with you...

 

Chorus:

Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and joy you bring

Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you

 

Verse 2:

Sometimes I get lonely and all I gotta do is think of you

You captured something inside of me

You make all of my dreams come true

It's not enough that you love me for me

You reached inside and touched me eternally

I love you best explains how I feel for you...

 

Chorus:

Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and the joy you bring

Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you

 

Bridge:

The magic in your eyes

True love I can't deny

When you hold me I just lose control

I want you to know that I'm never letting go

You mean so much to me I want the world to see,

It's because of you

 

Chorus:

Because of you, my life has changed, thank you for the love and the joy you bring

Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you

My life has changed thank you for the love and the joy you bring

Because of you, I feel no shame, I'll tell the world it's because of you...

 

Spoken:

Because of you

WAITING IN VAIN

(Bob Marley/ Annie Lenox)

 

From the very first time I rest my eyes on you boy

My heart said follow through but i know now

That I'm way down on your line

But the waiting feeling's fine

 

So don't treat me like a puppet on a string

Because i know how to do my thing

Don't talk to me as if you think im dumb

I wanna know when you're gotta come,you see

 

*I dont wanna wait in vain for your love

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love

I dont wanna wait in vain for your love

"Cause summer is here

And im still waiting there

Winter is here...Im still waiting there....

 

Like I said

Its been three years since Im knocking on your door

And still I can knock some more

Oooh boy..oooh boy, is it crazy look, i wanna know now

For i to knock some more, you see

 

In life i know

That there is lots of grief/But your love is my relief

Tears in my eyes burn/Tears in my eyes burn

While Im waitin'

While Im waitin' for my turn, you see...

[ekizgurl]

this is just a chorus from the song, THE HARDEST THING

 

 

Its the hardest thing I'll ever have to do

To look you in the eye and tell you I dont' love you

Its the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie

To show no emotion when you start to cry

I cant let you see what you mean to me

When my hands are tied

And my heart's not free

We're not meant to be... :cry:
