Been listening to Muse - Starlight. Here are the lyrics-

Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

And hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Yeah
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

I just wanted to hold

Muse - Unintended

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one Ill always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one Ill always love

Ill be there as soon as I can
But Im busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one Ill always love

Ill be there as soon as I can
But Im busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Ill be there as soon as I can
But Im busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Before you

SAMAIN NIGHT

Words and music by Loreena McKennitt

When the moon on a cloud cast night
Hung above the tree tops' height
You sang me of some distant past
That made my heart beat strong and fast
Now I know I'm home at last

You offered me an eagle's wing
That to the sun I might soar and sing
And if I heard the owl's cry
Into the forest I would fly
And in its darkness find you by.

And so our love's not a simple thing
Nor our truths unwavering
But like the moon's pull on the tide
Our fingers touch, our hearts collide
I'll be a moonsbreath by your side.

 

[Art Rock]

Time in a bottle - Jim Croce (who died soon afterwards in a plain crash)

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

On mine Sade is fine. I with the great pleasure listen to her songs:

"i won't pretend that i intend to stop living
i won't pretend i'm good at forgiving
but i can't hate you
although i have tried
mmmm

i still really really love you
love is stronger than pride
i still really really love you
mmmm"


Too romantically

More Muse lyrics; 'Uno' this time-

This means nothing to me
'Cause you are nothing to me
And it means nothing to me
That you blew this away


'Cause you could've been number one
If you only found the time
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the chance


You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away


You're still nothing to me
And this is nothing to me
And you don't know what you've done
But I'll give you a clue


You could've been number one
If you only had the chance
And you could've ruled the whole world
If you had the time


You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away


You could've been number one
And you could've ruled the whole world
And we could've had so much fun
But you blew it away

Share the Darkness - The saw Doctors
(posted in an unashamed effort to promote this band)


Hey I can’t I say that I love you
I cant’ say that I don’t
I cant say that I couldn’t
And I won't say that I won’t
But I really like your company
I’m enjoying myself no end
But I can’t keep from thinking
Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
Make it warm and burning bright
I’ll not say nothing
I'll be polite
Why don’t we share the darkness tonight
Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
Tar abhaile liom a gra.
Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
Tar abhaile liom
Ah life’s too short for wasting
For ifs and might have been's
Life’s too short for wondering if
You could have lived your dreams
And its way too short for loneliness
We don't have to be
Now that we trust each other
Why don’t you stay with me?
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Make it warm and burning bright
I'll not say nothing
I'll be polite
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Repeat Gaelic chorus(Brid Dooley)
When the world belongs to distant dogs
And the air is dark and still
And drunken conversations pass beneath the window sill
And there’s someone singing
Elvis songs as they make their way back home
and all your fears and worries
attack when you're alone
when you're alone, when you're alone, when you're alone
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Make it warm and burning bright
I'll not say nothing
I'll be polite
Why don't we share the darkness tonight
Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
Tar abhaile liom a gra
Ta an dorachadas ag teacht anuas
Tar abhaile liom
Why don't we share the darkness tonight

Elvis Costello - Beyong Belief:

History repeats the old conceits
The glib replies the same defeats
Keep your finger on important issues
With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues

I'm just the oily slick
On the wind-up world of the nervous tick
In a very fashionable hovel

I hang around dying to be tortured
You'll never be alone in the bone orchard
This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel

So in this almost empty gin palace
Through a two-way looking glass
You see your Alice

You know she has no sense
For all your jealousy
In a sense she still smiles very sweetly

Charged with insults and flattery
Her body moves with malice
Do you have to be so cruel to be callous

And now you find you fit this identikit completely
You say you have no secrets
And then leave discreetly

I might make it California's fault
Be locked in genevas deepest vault
Just like the canals of mars and the Great Barrier Reef
I come to you beyond belief

My hands were clammy and cunning
Shes been suitably stunning
But I know theres not a hope in hades
All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle
So-called gentlemen and ladies
Dog fight like rose and thistle

I've got a feeling
I'm going to get a lot of grief
Once this seemed so appealing
Now I am beyond belief

Ok, everyone has to sing along to this one-

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Words and music by Freddie Mercury

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Fatboy Slim - Right here Right now (I wonder why he chose that title...? )

LOL!!!!!!!

 

[methodistgirl]

I have the lyrics that I made up for a lullaby but you can put any
tune to it. Here it goes:

The moon is out tonight
The stars are shining bright
Sandman's calling time for nighty night.

Close those little eyes
and dream a little dream.
Close your eyes it's nighty night.

Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink

In the land of grey and pink
where only boy-scouts stop to think
They'll be coming back again,
those nasty grumbly grimblies
And they're climbing down your chimney,
yes they're trying to get in
Come to take your money,
isn't it a sin, they're so thin
They've black buckets in the sky,
don't leave your dad in the rain
Cigarettes burn bright tonight,
they'll all get washed down the drain

So we'll sail away for just one day
to the land where the punk weed grows
Won't need any money,
just fingers and your toes
And when it's dark our boat will park
on a land of warm and green
Pick our fill of punk weed and smoke it till we bleed,
that's all we'll need
While sailing back in morning light,
we'll wash our teeth in the sea
And when the day gets really bright,
we'll go to sea drinking tea





This Heat - Deceit

eat, drink and be merry
for tomorrow we did
eat electricity
drink five of the seven seas
here is a paralyzed sleet
here is a bubble bath rain
acrid stench and festering tongue
new york, moscow, nairobi in flames

i don't know either, what is the answer?
we were told to expect more
and now that we've got more
we want more, we want more

we have moved from a to x
this welfare state is our progress
the size of it all carries us all along
more equals better, it's what we want
our energy is endless it seems
it's there when we need it
we've got men on the job

we finance clinics to research
a cure for cancer, our least vague fear
a new kind of water
a new way of breathing
always somehow a wonder cure all
turns up when we need it
we've got men on the job

you know from experience
the creature comforts, a house that's warm
your body would choose all this
of course! it's innate we're selfish
but what if there's not enough to go round?
defence is needed
we've got some odd men in odd jobs

we have moved from a to z
this nuclear state is our demise
fly away peter, hide away paul
who can watch as the earth burns, shatters and dies?
failsafe, foolproof, we've heard that before
good sense is needed
let's hope we've got men on the job

the size of it all carries us along
more is better, it's what we want
You know from experience
the body would choose all this

Bob Dylan – Blowin' In The Wind Lyrics


How many roads must a man walk down
Before you can call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can really see the sky?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
