Song Lyrics

[SnowKing69]

In Your Eyes

 

Peter Gabriel

 

 

love I get so lost, sometimes

days pass and this emptiness fills my heart

when I want to run away

I drive off in my car

but whichever way I go

I come back to the place you are

 

all my instincts, they return

and the grand facade, so soon will burn

without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

 

in your eyes

the light the heat

in your eyes

I am complete

in your eyes

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

in your eyes

the resolution of all the fruitless searches

in your eyes

I see the light and the heat

in your eyes

oh, I want to be that complete

I want to touch the light

the heat I see in your eyes

 

love, I don't like to see so much pain

so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival

I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

 

and all my instincts, they return

and the grand facade, so soon will burn

without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

 

in your eyes

the light the heat

in your eyes

I am complete

in your eyes

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

in your eyes

the resolution of all the fruitless searches

in your eyes

I see the light and the heat

in your eyes

oh, I want to be that complete

I want to touch the light,

the heat I see in your eyes

in your eyes in your eyes

in your eyes in your eyes

in your eyes in your eyes

[SnowKing69]

Secret World

 

Peter Gabriel

 

I stood in this sunsheltered place

'Til I could see the face behind the face

All that had gone before had left no trace

 

Down by the railway siding

In our secret world, we were colliding

All the places we were hiding love

What was it we were thinking of?

 

So I watch you wash your hair

Underwater, unaware

And the plane flies through the air

Did you think you didn't have to choose it

That I alone could win or lose it

In all the places we were hiding love

What was it we were thinking of?

 

In this house of make believe

Divided in two, like Adam and Eve

You put out and I recieve

 

[Chorus:]

Down by the railway siding

In our secret world, we were colliding

In all the places we were hiding love

What was it we were thinking of?

 

Oh the wheel is turning spinning round and round

And the house is crubling but the stairways stand

 

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame

Whatever it is, we are all the same

 

Making it up in our secret world [x3]

Shaking it up

Breaking it up

Making it up in our secret world

 

Seeing things that were not there

On a wing on a prayer

In this state of disrepair

 

[Chorus]

 

Shh, listen...

[SnowKing69]

Don't Give Up

 

Peter Gabriel

 

in this proud land we grew up strong

we were wanted all along

I was taught to fight, taught to win

I never thought I could fail

 

no fight left or so it seems

I am a man whose dreams have all deserted

I've changed my face, I've changed my name

but no one wants you when you lose

 

don't give up

'cos you have friends

don't give up

you're not beaten yet

don't give up

I know you can make it good

 

though I saw it all around

never thought I could be affected

thought that we'd be the last to go

it is so strange the way things turn

 

drove the night toward my home

the place that I was born, on the lakeside

as daylight broke, I saw the earth

the trees had burned down to the ground

 

don't give up

you still have us

don't give up

we don't need much of anything

don't give up

'cause somewhere there's a place

where we belong

 

rest your head

you worry too much

it's going to be alright

when times get rough

you can fall back on us

don't give up

please don't give up

 

'got to walk out of here

I can't take anymore

going to stand on that bridge

keep my eyes down below

whatever may come

and whatever may go

that river's flowing

that river's flowing

 

moved on to another town

tried hard to settle down

for every job, so many men

so many men no-one needs

 

don't give up

'cause you have friends

don't give up

you're not the only one

don't give up

no reason to be ashamed

don't give up

you still have us

don't give up now

we're proud of who you are

don't give up

you know it's never been easy

don't give up

'cause I believe there's the a place

there's a place where we belong

[BUGZ]

(I'M WITH YOU - AVRIL LAVIGNE)

 

I'm standing on a bridge, i'm waitin in the dark

i thought that you'd be here by now, there's nothin but the rain

No footsteps on the ground, i'm listenin but there's no sound

 

Isn't anyone tryin' to find me? Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night, tryin' to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand, take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are, but i... I'm with you

[SnowKing69]

I can't stop loving you

 

Leo Sayer

 

Writer: billy nicholls

 

So you?re leaving

In the morning

On the early train

I could say everything?s alright

I could pretend and say good bye

 

Got your ticket

Got your suitcase

Got your leaving smile

I could say that?s the way it goes

I could pretend and you won?t know

That I was lying

 

?cause I can?t stop loving you

I can?t stop loving you

No, I can?t stop loving you

Though I try

 

Took a taxi

To the station

Not a word was said

I saw you walk across the road

Maybe the last time, I don?t know

 

Feeling humble

I heard a rumble

On the railway track

And when I hear the whistle blow

I walk away and you don?t know

That I was lying

 

?cause I can?t stop loving you

No, I can?t stop loving you

I can?t stop loving you

Though I try

 

?cause I can?t stop loving you

I can?t stop loving you

No, I can?t stop loving you

Though I try

[SnowKing69]

No Looking Back

 

Writers: leo sayer & tom snow

 

When there?s no more looking back

And you feel you?ve loved in vain

You try and hide your sorrow

Now you?re alone again

So you block out your emotion

Laugh it off and carry on

Sayin? why do I have to feel this way

Was loving you so wrong

 

If I could only turn around

One more time for old time?s sake

I?d pick up all the pieces

From the mistakes I made

Did I give myself completely

Or did I hang on for too long

Ah, but what?s the use of me talking this way

Now that you?re gone

 

No looking back, it?s over now

All over now

I tell myself I?m glad

It?s over now

All over now

It?s over now

 

But if I ever love again

Oh, I won?t be played a fool

I?ll put in my performance

This time I?ll know the moves

It?s not that I?m feeling bitter

I?ve no bitterness to show

And all I?m really trying to say

Is that I wish I?d never let you go

[SnowKing69]

Something Fine - Leo Sayer

 

Writer: jackson browne

 

The papers lie there hopelessly

In a pile outside the door

I tried and tried, but I just can?t remember

What they?re for

The world outside is tugging

Like a beggar at my sleeve

Ah, that?s much too old a story to believe

 

And you know, that it?s taken it?s share of me

Even though you take such good care of me

 

Now you say morocco, and that makes me smile

I haven?t seen morocco for a long, long while

The dreams are rolling down

Across the places in my mind

And I just had a taste of something fine

 

The future hides and the past just slides

England lies between

Floating in a silver mist, so cold and so clean

California?s shading like some angry child will

Who has asked for love and isn?t answered still

 

And you know that I?m looking back carefully

?cause I know that there?s still something there for me

 

But you said morocco and it made me smile

And it hasn?t been that easy for a long, long while

Looking back into your eyes

Oh, I saw them really shine

And giving me a taste of something fine

 

Something fine

 

Now if you see morocco, oh I know you?ll go in style

I may not see morocco for a little while

But while you?re there I was hoping you

Might keep it in your mind

To save me a taste of something fine

 

Something fine

Country Death Song

 

By: Violent Femmes

 

 

I had me a wife, I had me some daughters.

I tried so hard, I never knew still waters.

Nothing to eat and nothing to drink.

Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.

Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.

 

Well, I'm a thinkin' and thinkin', till there's nothin' I ain't thunk.

Breathing in the stink, till finally I stunk.

It was at that time, I swear I lost my mind.

I started making plans to k*ll my own kind.

I started making plans to k*ll my own kind.

 

Come little daughter," I said to the youngest one,

Put your coat on, we'll have some fun.

We'll go out to mountains, the one to explore.

Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.

Her face then lit up, I was standing by the door.

 

Come little daughter, I will carry the lanterns.

We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns.

We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves.

Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.

Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that God saves.

 

A led her to a hole, a deep black well.

I said "make a wish, make sure and not tell and

close you're eyes dear, and count to seven.

You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.

You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.

 

I gave her a push, I gave her a shove.

I pushed with all my might, I pushed with all my love.

I through my child into a bottomless pit.

She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.

She was screaming as she fell, but I never heard her hit.

 

Gather round boys to this tale that I tell.

You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell?

It's guarenteed to get your own place in hell.

Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.

Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.

 

Don't speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart.

You wanna know what can really tear you apart?

I'm going out to the barn, will I never stop in pain?

I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION LYRICS

 

You take a mortal man,

And put him in control

Watch him become a god,

Watch peoples heads a’roll

A’roll...

 

/chorus/

Just like the pied piper

Led rats through the streets

We dance like marionettes,

Swaying to the symphony...

Of destruction

 

Acting like a robot,

Its metal brain corrodes.

You try to take it’s pulse,

Before the head explodes.

Explodes...

 

/chorus/

 

The earth starts to rumble

World powers fall

A’warring for the heavens,

A peaceful man stands tall

Tall...

 

/chorus/

Dating Days

 

By: Violent Femmes

 

Three women

in thirty days

tell me seriously

our dating days

are over and done

are dead and gone

it seems that no matter how much I drink

I seem to still stay sober

it seems that no matter how young I am

I seem to still feel older

three men are going to hell

thirty women are going to jail

Jonah swore he swallowed the whale

thirty thirsty women

three hundred women in three hours

told me boy forget the flowers

Christ told a man called 1 legion

come into the fold and start preachin'

your devil days are over and gone

your weary days are dead and done

your happiness has begun

[coychee]

Mother of a Girl

 

By: Violent Femmes

 

You look like you could be the mother of a girl

a girl I hated more than any other girl in the world

the way I let her treat me was totally a disgrace

I wanted to permanently wipe that smile off her face

no I'm not joking

yes I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a girl

a girl I loved more than any other girl in the world

the way that i treated her was totally a crime

I wanted to permanently wipe the joy out of my mind

no I'm not joking

yes I was choking

You look like you could be the mother of a boy

who bored me more than any other man in the land

the way that he dogged me like I was totally a jerk

I wanted to permanently pound his prick into the dirt

no I'm not joking

yes I was choking

IT'S YOU

Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick

 

I look inside the crystal ball of desire

And why rapid beats my heart

I see the spark, I feel the flame of the fire

Letting me know love wants to start

No more playing around

No more waiting around for the special one to come

No more wearing a frown

No more tears coming down 'cause I know what I want

And I want what I know

 

REFRAIN:

It's you

Nobody has to tell me so

It's you, it's you, you're the angel sent from heaven above

It's you, nobody has to tell me so

It's you, you're that angel sent from heaven above for me

(Me for you and you for me)

 

CHORUS:

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited my life would be undone

If only I had not waited I would have picked the wrong one

If only I had not waited for you

 

(Harmonica solo)

 

I look behind and what I sight is the mire

So very lonely was my heart

I look ahead I hear the sound of the choir

Singing that love will never part

No more hearing the sound of the rain coming down

No more I can't see the sun

No more hurting for fun 'cause the moment has come

When I know what I want

And I want what I know

 

REPEAT REFRAIN THEN CHORUS

 

'Cause baby...

 

REPEAT REFRAIN THEN CHORUS

 

'Cause baby it's you

SHAKE YER HEAD - ERASERHEADS

 

I was born, upside down

I felt my grandma put my feet on the ground

They put a spoon, in my mouth

And everyone was shocked to hear me shout

 

Well I knew I couldn't take all the dog food that they make

I'd just as soon as put myself on a stake and burn

 

I saw it comin' around

I saw it comin' around, yeah

I saw it comin' around, and so I just, yeah

Shook my head and walked away

 

I grew up, in a town

Where everybody tried to push me around

The girls were alright, but the guys were tough

They're always buggin' me with macho stuff

 

Well, I ain't no stupid fighter, I go for flower power

I've been running every race just to save my face, yeah

 

I saw it comin' around

I saw it comin' around, yeah

I saw it comin' around, and so I just, yeah

Shook my head and walked away...yeah...

 

Oohh...

Well they try to see if you care

It's just a matter of not begging for more

You know it's really suicidal to just give in

Oh people you can never really be sure

 

O-hoh when it gets down to this, they'll eat you up

When the words get in your head, they'll get you up

It's a saving grace to have enough

When you find yourself in a compromising spot

 

You should know you shouldn't take all that dog food that they make

You'd just as soon as put yourself on a stake and burn

 

You'll see it comin' around

You'll see it coming, comin' around

(Oh when you) Oh when you see it coming around, you just...yeah

Shake yer head and walk away

 

Yeah!

(Shake your head and walk away) alright!

Shake, shake, shake, shake yo head (2x)

Yes, the one you think with..wooohh

C'mon, c'mon

You can do it babeh!

Shake it!

World Leader Pretend

 

by REM

 

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

It seems like it's all...it's all for nothing

I know the barricades, and

I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognize the weapons, I used them well

 

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the wall, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

I proclaim that claims are left unstated,

I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognize the weapons

I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory

Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me

 

This is my world

And I am world leader pretend

This is my life

And this is my time

I have been given the freedom

To do as I see fit

It's high time I've razed the walls

That I've constructed

 

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

 

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

The End

 

by The Doors

 

 

This is the end, Beautiful friend

This is the end, My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end

Of everything that stands, the end

No safety or surprise, the end

I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be, So limitless and free

Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand

In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain

And all the children are insane, All the children are insane

Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town

Ride the King's highway, baby

Weird scenes inside the gold mine

Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake

To the lake, the ancient lake, baby

The snake is long, seven miles

Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best, The west is the best

Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us, The blue bus is callin' us

Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on

He took a face from the ancient gallery

And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he

Paid a visit to his brother, and then he

He walked on down the hall, and

And he came to a door...and he looked inside

Father, yes son, I want to k*ll you

Mother...I want to...f**k you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us X3

And meet me at the back of the blue bus

Doin' a blue rock, On a blue bus

Doin' a blue rock, C'mon, yeah

k*ll, k*ll, k*ll, k*ll, k*ll, k*ll

This is the end, Beautiful friend

This is the end, My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free

But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies

The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

The Dead Heart

 

by Midnight Oil

 

 

We don't serve your country

Don't serve your king

Know your custom don't speak your tongue

White man came took everyone

 

We don't server your country

Don't serve your king

White man listen to the songs we sing

White man came took everything

 

We carry in our hearts the true country

And that cannot be stolen

We follow in the steps of our ancestry

And that cannot be broken

 

We don't need protection

Don't need your land

Keep your promise on where we stand

We will listen we'll understand

 

Mining companies, pastoral companies

Uranium companies

Collected companies

Got more right than people

Got more say than people

Forty thousand years can make a difference to the state of things

The dead heart lives here

[coychee]

The Living Years

 

by Mike and the Mechanics

 

 

Every generation

Blames the one before

And all of their frustrations

Come beating on your door

 

I know that I'm a prisoner

To all my Father held so dear

I know that I'm a hostage

To all his hopes and fears

I just wish I could have told him in the living years

 

Crumpled bits of paper

Filled with imperfect thought

Stilted conversations

I'm afraid that's all we've got

 

You say you just don't see it

He says it's perfect sense

You just can't get agreement

In this present tense

We all talk a different language

Talking in defence

 

Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

It's too late when we die

To admit we don't see eye to eye

 

So we open up a quarrel

Between the present and the past

We only sacrifice the future

It's the bitterness that lasts

 

So Don't yield to the fortunes

You sometimes see as fate

It may have a new perspective

On a different day

And if you don't give up, and don't give in

You may just be OK.

 

Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

It's too late when we die

To admit we don't see eye to eye

 

I wasn't there that morning

When my Father passed away

I didn't get to tell him

All the things I had to say

 

I think I caught his spirit

Later that same year

I'm sure I heard his echo

In my baby's new born tears

I just wish I could have told him in the living years

 

Say it loud, say it clear

You can listen as well as you hear

It's too late when we die

To admit we don't see eye to eye

The Book Of My Life - Sting

 

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days

And it may be a trick of the firelight

But the flickering pages that trouble my sight

Is a book I'm afraid to write

 

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life

And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife

And it's all there to see as the section reveals

There's some sorrow in every life

 

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze

Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days

I'm still forced to remember,

Remember the words of my life

 

There are promises broken and promises kept

Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept

There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess

If I lose everything that I possess

There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die

There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry

There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.

 

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

 

There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons

There are pages of conflicts that nobody won

And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,

There's a page where we fail to meet

 

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned

There's a chapter on god that I don't understand

There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see

 

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

 

Now the daylight's returning

And if one sentence is true

All these pages are burning

And all that's left is you

 

Though the pages are numbered

I can't see where they lead

For the end is a mystery no-one can read

In the book of my life

A thousand years - Sting

 

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 million tears, a million breaths,

A million names but only one truth to face

 

A million roads, a million fears

A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty

I could speak a 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 singular touch of grace

Then following this single point , this single flame,

The 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 may be numberless, I may be innocent

I may know many things, I may be ignorant

Or I could ride with 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 as fortune's child to judge another's crimes

Or wear this pilgrim's 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

[SnowKing69]

You Still Touch Me - Sting

 

Another night finds me alone

In my dreams

You still touch me

Your picture by my telephone

In that smile

You still thrill me

 

Now if I sleep

I sleep here alone

In my bed tonight

You still haunt me

And if I'm falling

I'm falling like a stone

In my nightmares

You still hold me

 

And after all that we've been through

Now I'm wondering

If you still blame me

If only half of this was true

That you believe of me

You still shame me

 

Dark rain will fall until I see your face

I close my eyes

I seem to hear the raindrops saying

You won't come back

You still touch me

 

And when I'm sick at heart and low

In my prayers

You still heal me

When I'm so sure, so sure this isn't so

In my complacency

You still shake me

 

I wonder if you feel the same way as I do

And you'd come back

You still touch me

 

Another night finds me alone

In my bed tonight

You still haunt me

You still hold me

You still touch me

You still touch me

You still touch me

Another night

Another night

Another night

Another finds me alone

In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel

 

 

love I get so lost, sometimes

days pass and this emptiness fills my heart

when I want to run away

I drive off in my car

but whichever way I go

I come back to the place you are

 

all my instincts, they return

and the grand facade, so soon will burn

without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

 

in your eyes

the light the heat

in your eyes

I am complete

in your eyes

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

in your eyes

the resolution of all the fruitless searches

in your eyes

I see the light and the heat

in your eyes

oh, I want to be that complete

I want to touch the light

the heat I see in your eyes

 

love, I don't like to see so much pain

so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away

I get so tired of working so hard for our survival

I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

 

and all my instincts, they return

and the grand facade, so soon will burn

without a noise, without my pride

I reach out from the inside

 

in your eyes

the light the heat

in your eyes

I am complete

in your eyes

I see the doorway to a thousand churches

in your eyes

the resolution of all the fruitless searches

in your eyes

I see the light and the heat

in your eyes

oh, I want to be that complete

I want to touch the light,

the heat I see in your eyes

in your eyes in your eyes

in your eyes in your eyes

in your eyes in your eyes
