I am here again.. lol its Good friday, I have had no meat, and compensated for that with a bottle of wine, which has made my fingers all chatty.

Another Beatles one.. I dont know the title, goes something like thi:

There are places I remember, all my life though some have changed'
Some for ever, not for better, some have gone and some remain,
All these places have their moments for lovers and friends, I still recall
Some are dead and some are living,
But in my life I loved them all..


I have a tear now! apologies for incorrect lyrics

Stones were better ;/

Not really a "song", but I always find Cluster One from Pinkfloyd's Division Bell, just exquisite....

Anyone else ?

this one is better imo

The Verve The Drugs Don't Work lyrics

All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down


And I hope you're thinking of me
As you lay down on your side
Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again


Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again


But I know I'm on a losing streak
'Cause I passed down my old street
And if you wanna show, then just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again


Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again


'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead


All this talk of getting old
It's getting me down my love
Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown
This time I'm comin' down


Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again


'Cause baby, ooh, if heaven calls, I'm coming, too
Just like you said, you leave my life, I'm better off dead


But if you wanna show, just let me know
And I'll sing in your ear again


Now the drugs don't work
They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again


Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again
Yeah, I know I'll see your face again


I'm never going down, I'm never coming down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
I'm never coming down, I'm never going down
No more, no more, no more, no more, no more
(Repeat and Fade Out)

[hooya] 08/4/2004 18:41

[megryan] 08/4/2004 17:40

belabed
Well here's a Lennon song that you need to PLAY LOUD!

"Cold Turkey"

Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky

My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again

Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, no, no, no......

[brain smiley] 08/4/2004 14:13

Elton John - Toilets on The Moon........great song.

[hooya] 08/4/2004 13:42

no no no no no no.....wouldnt even make my top 100...plenty Beatles records better than that imo

[belabed] 08/4/2004 13:38

Just noticed this thread, it's got to be "Imagine" by Mr Lennon.

[zzaxx99] 08/4/2004 13:31

B(l)and on the run?

[tim 3] 08/4/2004 12:53

That reminds me name this slightly cheesey but still classic song?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga where your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun

[samg99] 08/4/2004 11:35

Just reminded me of Stevie Wonder's HE'S MISTRA KNOW IT ALL - what a superb, witty, melodic song. Lyrics apply to so many people - sure we all know a few of 'em.

[pawsnjaws] 08/4/2004 11:06

Meg.. All your credibility has gone with The Pretenders and Brass in Pocket. Unless we just hae different memories of it, I find it bland and would love to get Chrissie Hind and give her a damn good washing, she looks filthy.

HoweverRaunchy for me is

White Wedding - Billy Idol

or

White Lines... by whoever

or

Boogie on Reggae Woman - Stevie Wonder

or

Smell like teen spirit - Nirvana.

Off to the fave car thread now, keeps me busy i suppose.

[dave37] 08/4/2004 08:21

rabbits are generic to music it seems, maybe this is a breakthrough to watermans success.....

[365] 07/4/2004 23:41

all the lyrics are on the net, I think lyrics.com is one site but must be loads more

[samg99] 07/4/2004 23:20

MegRyan - Great stuff. Where on earth do you get all these lyrics from, or do you know them off by heart? Thanks anyway......

Riverdiver - thanks for confirmation of what I'd thought. Also for what looks like the correct spelling of LS (it's too late for me to make an attempt to get it right!!)

[megryan] 07/4/2004 22:08

SamG99- could change the lyrics slightly and apply to G. Bush

"Southern Man"

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast
Southern man

Lily Belle,
your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man
comin' round
Swear by God
I'm gonna cut him down!
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?

And another NY classic

"Needle And The Damage Done"

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

[dave37] 07/4/2004 20:09

bahtat, very good, made me laugh.......

[riverdiver] 07/4/2004 19:59

Sam
You're right about Southern Man and Lynyrd Skynyrd. They do mention Neil Young's name on the song.
