Red Light Special

© 1994 ECAF/Sony Songs, Inc. (BMI)

 

Take a good look at it

Look at it now

Might be the last time you'll

Have a go round

I'll let you touch it if you'd

Like to go down

I'll let you go further

If you take the southern route

Don't go to fast

Don't go to slow

You've got to let you're body flow

I like 'em attentive

And I like 'em in control

 

Chorus

Baby it's yours

All yours

If you want it tonight

I'll give you the red light special

All through the night

Baby it's yours

All yours

If you want it tonight

Just come through my door

Take off my clothes

And turn on the red light

 

I know that you want me I can

See it in your eyes

You might as well be honest 'cause the

Body never lies

Tell me your secrets and I'll

I'll tell you mine

I'm feelin' quite sexy

And I want you for tonight

If I move too fast just let me know

'Cause it means you move too slow

I like some excitement

And I like a man that goes

 

Chorus

 

If you want me

Let me know it

I'll make time but

You've got to show it

If you need me

I want to see it

But don't mistake me

I don't want you down on your knees

I need someone a real man

I need someone who understands

I'm a real woman

I know just what I want

I know just who I am

 

Chorus

[trillian]

One of my favorites!

 

So Little Time Lyrics

by Arkarna

 

 

Took a while to drag me out of bed,

Aim some coffee at my head,

Saw the clock I'm running late,

It's an ordinary day.

And I'm like a dog on heat,

Knock one out and then fall asleep,

It's sad but true,

I'd rather be with you

 

Don't you forget about me,

When you're a celebrity,

It will be only you and me

Before too long.

 

So little time so much to do,

I wanna spend my days with you,

So little time so much to do,

I'd like to spend one day with you,

And if that day is not enough,

Maybe we can stay in touch,

But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,

For tomorrow never comes.

 

Said I've been celibate for years,

Not out of choice there's no-one here,

See I can't get my end aaaway,

Another ordinary day,

And I've love to see a little more of you,

You're clothes would look better on my bedroom floor, bedroom floor.

 

Don't you forget about me,

When you're a celebrity

I know you're busy,

But we all need somebody - before too long

 

So little time so much to do,

I wanna spend my days with you,

So little time so much to do,

I'd like to spend one day with you,

And if that day is not enough,

Maybe we can stay in touch,

But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,

For tomorrow never comes.

 

It's in your eyes, in your eyes

 

So little time so much to do,

I wanna spend my days with you,

So little time so much to do,

I'd like to spend one day with you,

And if that day is not enough,

Maybe we can stay in touch,

But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,

For tomorrow never comes.

JavaM, I loved that kind of sounds pare, your age is actually getting obvious...and so is mine! Well. not really, more of Plainly_F's batch...

Trillan, welcome to music thread! Enjoy!

Was drinking some Tiger beer (more like Tiger Piss, actually,) in some bar here at S'pore. Some stuff was going through my head, played by Simon and Garfunkel way before I was born in '72. Such poetry, made in the time when the words and message mattered as much as the sounds and technique. When all musicians had were words to take our hearts away (another oldie song too)

 

******************************************

Sounds of Silence

 

Hello darkness, my old friend,

I've come to talk with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence.

 

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

'Neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence.

 

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dare

Disturb the sound of silence.

 

"Fools" said I, "You do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you."

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed

In the wells of silence

 

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon god they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning,

In the words that it was forming.

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls."

And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

and so it is with us, have we embraced noise? have we foregone thoughts? does what we like, truly signify what we are?

do i need a reason

by d'sound

 

Today when I saw you

I knew it was just like the first time

When you met my eyes I came close

And I felt like the first time

 

To hold back my fear

and feel you so near

I’ve never been this far before

To hold back my fear

and feel you so near

I’m scared of falling into deep this time

 

Do I need a reason to tell you why

I’m singing you this song

Do I need a reason to show you that

I know where I belong

Whenever I am weary I lean on

this feeling that I have

I am so much stronger now

Thankful, yes I am

 

Today I’ll renounce them,

the doubts and the fears I’ve been nursing

I’ll fly like a moth to the flame

and I’ll feel like the first time

 

To hold back my fear

and let you come near

I’ve never been this far before

To hold back my fear

and let you come near

I’m ‘fraid of loosing and still I go

[bods1000]

great scott!!! are you for real? hmmm......

 

now u just died, mr. bods. straight hit. hope u bounce back as soon ala La Bounty.

 

 

Santana still here, this time with Eagle Eye Cherry

 

Beauty and grace is what touches me most

Good time can put me in fear

Always feel safe when things are bad

So I cannot let you come near

It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things

I always feel alive when the death bell rings

Now you have come and bring out the tears in me

Pain never makes me cry, but happiness does

It's so strange to watch my life go by

Wishing it was

Wishing it was more like a fantasy

Where everyone surprises me

Wishing it was

This feeling won't last cause I cannot survive

I tell you I've been here before

When it's movin this fast

It's a matter of time

One of us walks out that door

It seems that I thrive on the dark side of things

I always feel alive when the death bell rings

Now you come and you bring out the tears in me

Give this some thought

And I'm sure you will know

This is the way it must be

Emotions will rise, emotions will flow

You bring out the tears in me

It's so strange to watch your life walk and where everyday

I've been burning the candle at both ends

And lied the truth I can't pretend

This is why I will not stay baby

Just like that I'm on my way

Flesh-and-bones bods here hahaha....I'm all ears for music...bouncing back like LaBounty...good afternoon to you...cheers!

[javameister]

Hey LC, good to know you're breathing (and still drinking) in shrimpland! My taste in music can be eclectic (when you're my age you've heard it all) but am partial to retro. I can be an unfeeling s.o.b. at times but I have my sentimental side too. PF would have an inkling of that.

 

This one borders on the mushy but the melody makes up for it. And it helped me score long, long ago...hehehe

 

Just You 'n Me

Chicago

 

You are my love and my life

And you are my inspiration

Just you 'n me

Simple and free

Baby you're everything I've ever dreamed of

Yeah, yeah

 

Give me your own special smile

Promise you'll never leave me

Just you 'n me

Simple and free

Life is so easy

When you?re beside me

Oh girl

 

Come hold me close

Never release me

Oh baby don't release me

Open your arms, let my love in

Let me in, let me in, let me in

Love me tonight, love me forever

And ever

You know I can't forget you

 

Just you 'n me to carry on

Simple and free my lovely

To flow as one as love's reward

Lovin' you girl is so damn easy

 

Yeah, yeah

 

You are my love in my life

You are my inspiration

Just you 'n me

Simple and free

Baby you're everything I've ever dreamed of

this is for me and my cousin...

 

Secret lovers

Atlantic Starr

 

Here we are the two of us together

Taking this crazy chance to be all alone

we both know that we should not be together,

cause if they found out

it could mess up, both our happy homes.

 

I hate to think about us all meeting up together,

as soon as I looked at you it would show on my face.

Then they’ll know that we’ve been loving each other.

They can never no, oh no, we can’t leave a trace.

 

Secret Lovers that’s what we are, we shouldn’t be together

but we can’t let it go, oh no, cause we love each other so.

 

Sittin at home I do nothing all day

but think about you and hope that your ok.

Hoping you’ll call before anyone gets home

I’ll wait anxiously, alone...by the phone.

 

How could something so wrong be so right.

I wish we didn’t have to keep our love out of sight

Living two lives just ain’t easy at all

but we gotta hang on and after fall.

 

Secret lovers that’s what we are

trying so hard to hide the way we feel

cause we both belong to someone else

but we can’t let it go, cause what we feel is oh so real

so real....so real...

 

You and me, are we fair

is this cruel, or do we care.

can they tell what’s in our minds

maybe they’ve had secret love all of the time

 

In the middle of makin love we notice the time

we both get nervous cause it’s way after nine.

Even though we hate it, we know it’s time that we go

we gotta be careful, so that no one will know.

 

Secret lovers, that’s what we are,

trying so hard to hide the way we feel,

cause we both belong to someone else,

but we can’t let it go

cause what we feel is oh so real

so real...so real....so real....so real!

THIS NIGHT

Billy Joel

 

Didn't I say

I wasn't ready for a romance

Didn't we promise

We would only be friends

 

And so we danced

Though it was only a slow dance

I started breaking my promises

Right there and then

 

Didn't I swear

There would be no complications

Didn't you want

Someone who's seen it all before

 

Now that you're here

It's not the same situation

Suddenly I don't remember the rules anymore

 

This night is mine

It's only you and I

Tomorrow

Is a long time away

This night can last forever

 

I've been around

Someone like me should know better

Falling in love

Would be the worst thing I could do

 

Didn't I say

I needed time to forget her

Aren't you running from someone

Who's not over you

 

How many nights

Have I been lonely without you

I tell myself

How much I really don't care

 

How many nights

Have I been thinking about you

Wanting to hold you

But knowing you would not be there

 

This night

You're mine

It's only you and I

I'll tell you

To forget yesterday

This night we are together

 

This night

Is mine

It's only you and I

Tomorrow

Is such a long time away

This night can last forever

 

Tomorrow

Is such a long time away

This night can last forever

[Nookie 3:16®]

u think so sabine? it's real...

[LostCommand]

when i am alone and the world has turned too cold for even my thick skin to take. When my armor itself is not enough...when I realize what I need to give up...when I have only poetry to shield me...

 

Simon and Garfunkel

I am a rock ( I am an Island)

 

A winter's day

In a deep and dark December

I am alone

Gazing from my window

To the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

 

I am a rock

I am an island

 

I've built walls

A fortress deep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need for friendship

Friendship causes pain

It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

 

I am a rock

I am an island

 

Don't talk of love

Well, I've heard the word before

It's sleeping in my memory

I won't disturb the slumber

Of feelings that have died

If I'd never loved,

I never would have cried

 

I am a rock

I am an island

 

I have my books

And my poetry to protect me

I am shielded in my armor

Hiding in my room

Safe within my womb

I touch no-one and no-one touches me

 

I am a rock

I am an island

And the rock feels no pain

And an island never cries

 

rgds, LC

[mistaj]

This one haunts me when I think back on those days. Of what might have been....

 

Michelle's Song

Elton John

 

Cast a pebble on the water

Watch the ripples gently spreading

Tiny daughter of the camargue

We were meant to be together

We were made for one another

In a time it takes to grow up

If only we were old enough

Then they might leave us both alone

 

So take my hand in your hand

Say it's great to be alive

No one's going to find us

No matter how they try

No one's going to find us

It's wonderful so wild beneath the sky

 

Sleeping in the open

See the shadows softly moving

Take a train towards the southlands

Our time was never better

We shall pass the sights of splendor

On the door of a new life

It had to happen soon I guess

Whether it is wrong or it is right

 

We learned to be so graceful

Watching wild horses running

And from those agile angels

We knew the tide was turning

For we watched as on the skyway

The herons circled slowly

While we mere mortals watched them fly

Our sleepless eyes grew heavy
