Song Lyrics

[plainly_female]

Plainly f/ccc3, your choices may vary like crazy, but I'm crazier! Thanks for all the stuff.

Anyone with Wilson Philips (hold.. for one more day...)? and with or without you (bono)?

My trip will be delayed a few days, but yes, I am storing up for that 12 hour drive across north luzon...the endless highways call me, the whisper of concrete and rubber, the crunch of gravel on thick offroad tires, the unconscious way my feet and hands twirl the pedals, stick and wheel of the heavy duty truck with apparent ease, like a toy... speakers covering the throb of the powerful diesel right under my seat, fog fog fog around me and above me, alone for hours and hours with music and madness mixing melodiously...

anyone here wants a soundtrip soon? I'll pay for the gas...

rgds, LC

LC, g'day. you're crazy? darn. don't we all abound in this world. .....for them music that zests up our senses in so many ways, that is. a long soundtrip drive like what you'd have is a breather thought. dang. wish its easy to get on with that. in due time.... settle muna ko for tagaytay pag tinupak.

 

Bono, that irish guy i wish i could take to dinner one time lang, then i could succumb to quiet for a year or so. kyaha. beautifully lyrical guy although they say he's a homo. oh well...

 

 

With or Without You - U2

 

See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side

I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

With or without you

With or without you

 

Through the storm we reach the shore

You give it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live with or without you

 

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away

 

My hands are tied - my body bruised

She's got me with nothing to win

And nothing left to lose

 

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away

 

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live with or without you

 

thats from the Joshua Tree Album. anybody likes his Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, k*ll Me cut? Sheesh. Such a diversified guy

[Fahfrd]

This is dedicated to ...., well you know who you are

 

Hindi mo ba alam?

Na kriminal ang boyfriend mo

Nakita ko siya dati,

Nagtitinda ng drugs sa kalye

Mag-ingat ka sinta

Wag kang basta magtiwala

 

Hindi mo ba napapansin

Parang ang hina niya kumain

Baka naman nagsha-shabu

Mabuti pa ipakulong na natin

Sindikato tatay niyan

Kaya siguro siya mayaman

 

Wag ka sanang maniwala sa mga katulad niya

Di ka dapat magtiwala at iwanan mo na siya

Sapagkat mahal kita

At walang ibang magagawa

Kungdi sirain ang pangalan niya...sinta

 

Nakwento ko na ba giliw?

Na ang boyfriend mo ay may pagkabaliw

Mahilig siyang kumain

Ng basura at buhangin

 

Ano ngayon kung pogi siya

Mukha naman siyang kontra-bida

 

Wag mo sanang sasabihin

Na nanggaling sa akin ang lahat ito

Ang sabihin mo na lamang ay may nag-text syo

'At di mo alam kung sino

 

(from the song: Iwanan Mo Na Siya

written by: Chito Miranda

performed by: Parokya ni Edgar

from the album: Bigotilyo)

[d_great_on3]

To see you when i wake up is a gift, i didn't think could be real.

To know that you feel the same as i do is a three-fold utopian dream.

 

You do something to me that i can't explain.

So would i be out of line if i said, i miss you.

 

I see your picture, i smell your skin on

the empty pillow next to mine.

You have only been gone ten days, but already i'm

wastin' away.

 

I know i'll see you again, whether far or soon.

But i need you to know that i care and i miss you.

[hawkish]

oooh, i love this one!

 

for golddiggers:

 

"there's a lady whos sure, all the glittters is gold

and she's buying a stairway to heaven,

where she gets, there she goes and the stores are all

closed, with a word she can get what she came for..."

 

for those with dentures:

 

"you know i can't smile without you, i can't smile without you,

i can't laugh and i can't sing, i'm findin' it hard, to do anything..."

[plainly_female]

hey there, lipstick. you can say that music can be of any shade of your handle there. sometimes bright, it could be matte, or at times it could be with a roguish hue. depends depends on a lot of factors. 

 

thanks for relating with my choices here. they vary like crazy really. stay on board 

Hi Plainly Female, a very astute analogy/parallelism. Here's a toast to you! Cheers!

 

And since it's been raining all day here's a happy one for those droplets that fall on us like a million tiny kisses on the skin (non-typhoon condition of course, haha).

 

Laughter in the Rain

Neil Sedaka

heya lipstick gurl! Uy, very good coz them really icon artists like Sedaka (among others) still rocks me. pasimple pa ko segue ng absolutely antediluvian cuts here coz most might not relate especially those who tends to be contemporary. ooopps. but then again......to each his own.

 

this one taps on so many memoirs....way back when id be awakened early dawn (on my hometown scarce vacations) by the soft humming of grandparents 45 vinyl collections of Perry Como, The Stylistics, The Association, The Spinners, Frankie, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington...etc etc....

 

Unsure who really sounds good with this, Elvis Costelo? i do dig this guys' version....

 

 

She - Tony Bennett

 

She may be the face I can't forget

The trace of pleasure or regret

Maybe my treasure or the prize I have to pay

She may be the song that summer sings

Maybe the children autumn brings

Maybe a hundred different things

Within the measure of a day

 

She may be the beauty or the beast

Maybe the famine or the feast

May turn each day into a Heaven or a Hell

She may be the mirror of my dreams

A smile reflected in a stream

She may not be what she may seem

Inside her shell....

 

She, who always seems so happy in a crowd

Whose eyes can be so private and so proud

No one's allowed to see them when they cry

She maybe the love that cannot hope to last

May come to leap from shadows in the past

That I remember 'till the day I die

 

She maybe the reason I survive

The why and wherefore kind of life

The one I care for through the rough and ready years

 

Me, I'll take the laughter and your tears

And make them all my souvenirs

And when she goes I've got to be

The meaning of my life is

She....She

Oh, she....

 

 

there u go....kicked off from old folks influence. now theres more from siblings of different eras and genres still.

[krunchaway]

krunchyboy.....is this the one? hold on tight

 

good morn, amantes de musica. let's groove and roll the day at ala na naman bagyo.

 

ewww....humid. :sick:

 

Hangin By A Moment - Lifehouse

 

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

Closer to where i Started

Chasing after you

 

I'm falling even more in love with you

letting go of all i've held on to

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

 

Forgetting all i'm lacking

completely and complete

I'll take your invitation

you take all of me

 

now.. i'm falling even more in love with you

letting go of all i've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

 

I'm livin for the only thing i know

I'm running and I'm crashing

where to go?

and down i know i'd like to be in tune

Just hanging by a moment here with you

 

There's nothing else to lose

nothing else to find

There is nothing in the world that can change my mind

There is nothing else

there is nothing else..

 

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

Closer to where i Started

Chasing after you

 

I'm falling even more in love with you

Letting go of all i've held onto

I'm standing here until you make me move

I'm hanging by a moment here with you

 

I'm livin for the only thing i know

I'm running and I'm crashing

where to go?

and down i know i'd like to be in tune

just hanging by a moment here with you

 

just hanging by a moment

hanging by a moment..

hanging by a moment...

hanging by a moment here with you..

thanks man..you rock!

[hawkish]

wrapped around your fingers

THE POLICE

 

 

you consider me the young apprentice

caught between the scylla and the charybdis;

hidden the task by you if i should linger

staring at the ring around your finger.

 

i have only come here seeking knowledge

things they would not teach me of in college;

i can see the destiny you saw

turn into a shining band of gold.

 

i'll be wrapped around your fingers....

 

mephistopheles is not your name;

i know what you're up to just the same

i will listen hard to your tuition;

you will see it come to its fruition.

 

i'll be wrapped around your fingers....

 

devil and the deep blue sea behind me;

vanish in the air you'll never find me.

i will turn your face to alabaster;

when you find your servant, he's your master

 

you'll be wrapped around my fingers.....

[krunchaway]

[plainly_female]

Eye In The Sky - The Alan Parson Project

 

Don't think sorry's easily said

Don't try turning tables instead

You've taken lots of Chances before

But I'm not gonna give anymore

Don't ask me

That's how it goes

Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

 

Don't say words you're gonna regret

Don't let the fire rush to your head

I've heard the accusation before

And I ain't gonna take any more

Believe me

The sun in your Eyes

Made some of the lies worth believing

 

Chorus:

I am the eye in the sky

Looking at you

I can read your mind

I am the maker of rules

Dealing with fools

I can cheat you blind

And I don't need to see any more

To know that

I can read your mind, I can read your mind

 

Don't leave false illusions behind

Don't Cry cause I ain't chnaging my mind

So find another fool like before

Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing

Some of the lies while all of the Signs are deceiving

 

(chorus)

excerpt from "something to believe in" by poison

 

"i drive by the homeless sleepin' in the cold out streets

like bodies in the auburn rain;

underneath the broken old neon sign, yes it says "JESUS REIGNS".

 

i know the ways of the rich folks and i see how they're livin' it up;

and the more they reach from heaven comin' straight from the golden cup

and it even makes me wonder why so many lose and so few win....

 

oooh give me something to believe in....

there's the Lord above,

oooh give me something to believe in....

oooh Lord alive.

 

sometimes i wish to God i didn't know things i didn't know then.....

and give me something to believe in yeah, yeah!"

[plainly_female]

hawkish......i like the lines there. and the beat, man.

 

i'd cap the day with this one....i wish i could kidnap my hun. aaccck! :cry:

 

 

Steal Away - Robbie Dupree

 

C'mon and hold me, Just like you told me

Then show me... What I want to know

 

CHORUS:

 

Why don't we steal away

Why don't we steal away Into the night

I know it ain't right

Tease me, Why don't you please me

Then show me, What you came here for

 

CHORUS

 

Into the night, babe

Baby tonight...Make it tonight

Ooohhhh...

 

I caught you glancing my way

And I know what you're after (...no second chances tonight)

 

Why...don't we steal away (repeat 3 times)

Into the night

I know it ain't right, Into the night

I know it ain't right, Why don't we steal away

I know it ain't right, Into the night, babe

Why don't we steal away, Make it tonight

Why don't we steal away...

[laging_nagmamahal]

hey there, laging_nagmamahal. such a long handle...can i call u LN instead? ok...ta

 

heres another one from that darlin Ric....he is one of a kind alright, CCC3. and i like that baron barbers cut. they do sound so much alike somewhat. 

 

accckk!!! they're like wine....the more ancient they become, the more exquisite they sound.

 

 

Give Me A Chance - Ric Segreto

 

I need you

Is all that I can say

But deep inside of me

You'll know I want you more each day

But time won't let me have the chance

So I've got to see you even at a glance

 

I know, it's hard for you to see

Exactly how much you mean to me

Since it's just a one way street

And I'm the only one who's on it

No one knows the way but me

 

I love you can't you hear me

Oh can't you please see through me

Oh babe I need your love so badly

It's no lie so please believe me

In my heart you'll see the real me

You just gotta give me a chance

 

Well since I got that off my chest

All I need to let you know

Is I really did my best

Keep this feeling inside

But there's just no place to hide

So please be my love

 

I love you can't you hear me

Oh can't you please see through me

Oh babe I need your love so badly

It's no lie so please believe me

In my heart you'll see the real me

You just gotta give me a chance

 

Give me a chance

Give me a chance

Sure, plainly_f... call me whatever way you wish. As the old line goes, it's the thought that counts.

 

Pareng Ric left us with a load of beauties. Touched By The Rainbow is one song I really like. Do ya, Do Ya Ever, Do Ya? is another I used to sing along with. I still have their lyrics in my head, somewhere... kaya lang, medyo scattered na. Once I get these lyrics organized in my brain, I'll have them posted, too.

 

Hindi ako yung Seawind fan whom you refered to in one of your posts, though, I like Seawind's "What You're Doin'"... maybe because of the beat, or simply because Pauline Wilson is half Pinay.

 

I remember having requested lyrics to the Ronnie Laws hit Every Generation.

 

Talk about English OPMs, Tito Mina also had lots of good ones. I'd been searching for the more obscure ones (one-hit wonders) like Noel Milan, Rafael Centenera and Richard Tann.

 

Happy posting!

[LostCommand]

Thank you thank you, thank you oh friends, hope to meet you all soon...lets go on a soundtrip somewhere sometime, somehow...
