Song Lyrics

[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?...

[watering_hole]

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"

[loner]

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:

[sebyang]

finally i saw the song

 

fave ko to

 

this song is for me...

 

this is my lifestory

 

 

AT SEVENTEEN

(Janis Ian)

 

I LEARNED THE TRUTH AT SEVENTEEN

THAT LOVE WAS MEANT FOR BEAUTY QUEENS

AND HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS WITH CLEAR SKINNED SMILES

WHO MARRIED YOUNG AND THEN RETIRED

THE VALENTINES I NEVER KNEW

THE FRIDAY NIGHT CHARADES OF YOUTH

WERE SPENT ON ONE MORE BEAUTIFUL

AT SEVENTEEN I LEARNED THE TRUTH

 

AND THOSE OF US WITH RAVAGED FACES

LACKING IN THE SOCIAL GRACES

DESPERATELY REMAINED AT HOME

INVENTING LOVERS ON THE PHONE

WHO CALLED TO SAY - COME DANCE WITH ME

AND MURMURED VAGUE OBSCENITIES

IT ISN'T ALL IT SEEMS AT SEVENTEEN

 

A BROWN EYED GIRL IN HAND ME DOWNS

WHOSE NAME I NEVER COULD PRONOUNCE

SAID - PITY PLEASE THE ONES WHO SERVE

THEY ONLY GET WHAT THEY DESERVE

THE RICH RELATIONED HOMETOWN QUEEN

MARRIES INTO WHAT SHE NEEDS

WITH A GUARANTEE OF COMPANY

AND HAVEN FOR THE ELDERLY

 

SO REMEMBER THOSE WHO WIN THE GAME

LOSE THE LOVE THEY SOUGHT TO GAIN

IN DEBENTURES OF QUALITY AND DUBIOUS INTEGRITY

THEIR SMALL-TOWN EYES WILL GAPE AT YOU

IN DULL SURPRISE WHEN PAYMENT DUE

EXCEEDS ACCOUNTS RECEIVED AT SEVENTEEN

 

(INSTRUMENTAL)

 

TO THOSE OF US WHO KNEW THE PAIN

OF VALENTINES THAT NEVER CAME

AND THOSE WHOSE NAMES WERE NEVER CALLED

WHEN CHOOSING SIDES FOR BASKETBALL

IT WAS LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY

THE WORLD WAS YOUNGER THAN TODAY

WHEN DREAMS WERE ALL THEY GAVE FOR FREE

TO UGLY DUCKLING GIRLS LIKE ME

 

WE ALL PLAY THE GAME, AND WHEN WE DARE

WE CHEAT OURSELVES AT SOLITAIRE

INVENTING LOVERS ON THE PHONE

REPENTING OTHER LIVES UNKNOWN

THAT CALL AND SAY - COME ON, DANCE WITH ME

AND MURMUR VAGUE OBSCENITIES

AT UGLY GIRLS LIKE ME, AT SEVENTEEN

Never had A Dream Come True - S CLUB 7

 

everybody’s got something they had to leave behind

one regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time

there’s no use looking back oh wondering

how it could be now oh might have been

oh this i know but still i can’t find ways to let you go

 

i never had a dream come true

till the day that i found you

even though i pretend that i’ve moved on

you’ll always be my baby

i never found the words to say

you’re the one i think about each day

and i know no matter where life takes me to

a part of me will always be with you

 

somewhere in my memory i’ve lost all sense of time

and tomorrow can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind

there’s no use looking back oh wondering

how it should be now oh might have been

oh this i know but still i can’t find ways to let you go

 

you’ll always be the dream that fills my head

yes you will say you will you know you will oh baby

you’ll always be the one i know i’ll never forget

there’s no use looking back oh wondering

because love is a strange and funny thing

no matter how i try i just can’t say goodbye, no no no no.

[sebyang]

isa pa po!

 

para sa isang mtc member

i wish i could let go!

 

The trouble with hello is goodbye

June Christy

(Allen & Marilyn Bergman, Dave Grusin)

 

 

We wandered through the summertime

And drifted into fall

We never thought of winter at all

 

How foolishly we tossed away

The buttercups the times

Who would've thought we have no more

Songs to sing hills to climb

 

We simmered at each other's arms

And slumbered in the glow

We never heard the whispher of snow

 

But summer's not forever more

No matter how we tried

The trouble with hello is goodbye

 

(instrumental)

 

But summer's not forever more

No matter how we tried

The trouble with hello is goodbye

 

CODA:

Goodbye goodbye

Title: I'd Rather

 

I thought sometime alone

was what we really needed

you said this time would hurt more than it helps

but I couldn't see that

I thought it was the end

of a beautiful story

and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone(alone)

and I tried to find

out if this one thing is true

that I'm nothing without you

I know better now

and I've had a change of heart

 

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else

I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself

I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

 

And then I met someone

and thought she could replace you

we got a long just fine

we wasted time because she was not you

we had a lot of fun

though we knew we were faking

love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies

so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true

that I'm nothing without you

I know better now

and I've had a change of heart

 

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else

I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself

I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

who holds my heart

 

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,

I can only prove the things I say with time,

please be mine,

 

I'd rather have bad times with(please be mine) you,

than good times with someone else(I know)

I'd rather be beside you in a storm(anytime),

than safe and warm by myself(so sure baby)

I'd rather have hard times to gether,

than to have it easy apart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart(my heart)

 

I'd rather have bad times with you(surely),

than good times with someone else(surely)

I'd rather be beside you in a storm(oh yeah),

than safe and warm by myself(all by myself)

I'd rather have hard times together,

than to have it easy apart(you know it)

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

 

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

I'd rather have the one who holds my heart

whoooo.....who holds my heart

[Guest sexy_legs]

for you a person close to me.....

 

 

You touch me in ways, I’ll never understand

In your thoughts, with each kiss, with the touch of your hand

Consumed, careless, crazy, when “you” I think of

Is this a dream? A drug or disease?

 

 

No distance nor time, can keep us apart

No challenge too big, we can mend each other’s heart

So where are you? I need you! Another mystery’s begun

I’ll find you, I’ll catch you….
