Galway Girl- Steve earle
My heart breaks with every beat,
I can't explain what you do to me
So just say you'll promise me,
Please, take me if you ever leave
But the thought of you gone
Makes everything wrong in my life
So stay right here, right now
Without You-My Darkest Days
I’d go to hell and back with you
Stay lost in what we found.
Worlds apart we were the same
Until we hit the ground
Maybe I’m crazy, maybe I’m weak
Maybe I’m blinded by what I see
You wanted a soldier but it wasn't me
'Cause I could never set you free
Theory of a Deadman - Angel
I'm gonna need someone to help me
I'm gonna need somebody's hand
I'm gonna need someone to hold me down
I'm gonna need someone to care
I'm gonna writhe and shake my body
I'll start pulling out my hair
I'm going to cover myself with the ashes of you
And nobody's gonna give a damn
S.O.B - Nathaniel Rateliff (& The Night Sweats)
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president
Carter power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
[Chorus]
Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay
[Chorus]
Now it is 1984
Knock knock at your front door
It's the suede, denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower
Die on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will crack, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown
[Chorus]
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Sir Terry Pratchett
Dead Kennedy's - California uber alles
On that bed there was a girl
And on that girl there was a man
From that man there was a seed
And from that seed there was a boy
From that boy there was a man
And for that man there was a grave
From that grave there grew a tree
The Maypole Song (Summerisle) - by the marvellous and very lovely Mediaeval Baebes whom I'll be applauding very loudly on the 16th at Leicester Cathedral and trying desperately (again lol) to worm my way into the Ravenheart's dressing room (swoon).
(Go see 'em if you get the chance...frikkin' amazin')
Jamais je n'aymeray grant homme,
J'aymeray ung petit homme,
Le petit serre de prez:
Tu disoys que j'en murroys,
Menteuse, facheuse,
Et tu disoys que j'en mourroys,
Menteuse, facheuse que tu es!
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Sir Terry Pratchett
Cabaret - Liza Minnelli
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
That you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
In private 'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
Walk On By - Aretha Franklin/Dionne Warwick & others
I broke your heart and I made you blue
Instead of hurting back, you said, "I love you"
That very day you won my heart
And my love for you shall never part
You have such an understanding way
And I appreciate you need what I say
'Cause a love like yours don't come
Knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Sir Terry Pratchett
A love like yours - Dusty Springfield
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping at all
'Cause he can't seem to keep his self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money the best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me
Waterfalls -TLC
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
Iris - Goo goo dolls
But tell me, did you sail across the sun?
Did you make it to the MilkyWay to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star-
One without a permanent scar?
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
"Drops Of Jupiter" by Train
No lyrics left tna...?
If I may be so bold.....
Your heart is the sun
And the leaves are your soul
Blowing, blowing the clouds
Which are really just your dreams tonight
Your eyes are the stars
And your hand is Mars
Holding, holding me up to fly
And I no longer have this great fear of heights
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Sir Terry Pratchett
Jupiter - Katy McAllister
Bah Humbug; now that's too strong!
'Cause it is my favorite holiday.
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year.
Christmas Wrapping - Various artists The Waitresses, The Saturdays and a fair few Disney "stars"!
The boys of the NYPD choir
Were singing 'Galway Bay'
And the bells are ringing
Out for Christmas day
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead
On a drip in that bed
You scum bag
You maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God
It's our last!
Fairytale of new york - Pogues and Kirsty McColl - one of my all time fave Crimbo songs!
Watched it coming up Winslow
Down South Park Boulevard
Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood
Great big fins and painted steel
Man it looked just like the Batmobile
With my old man behind the wheel
Well you could hardly even see him
In all of that chrome
The man with the plan and the pocket comb
But every night it carried him home
And I could hear him sayin'.. .
Mine too....
Silver Thunderbird - Marc Cohn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
No, nothing of nothing
No! I don't feel sorry about anything
Not the good things people have done to me
Not the bad things, it's all the same to me.
No, nothing of nothing
No! I don't feel sorry about anything
It's paid for, removed, forgotten,
I'm happy of the past
With my memories
I lit up the fire
My troubles, my pleasures
I don't need them anymore
Broomed away my love stories
And all their tremble
Broomed away for always
I start again from zero
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Sir Terry Pratchett
Non, je ne regrette rien - Edith Piaf (Beautiful song, great choice Ekko!)
Hey, your old man should know
If you see a shadow
There's something there
Hey, give it to her, she's in love.
Arcade Fire - Une Annee Sans Lumiere
Say I wouldn't care if you walked away,
But every time you're there I'm begging you to stay,
When you come close I just tremble
And every time, every time you go,
It's like a knife that cuts right through my soul
Only Love Can Hurt Like This - Paloma Faith
Down, down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking down my door
And I can't sleep at night.
Your face it has no place
No room for you inside my house
I need to be alone.
Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you,
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do.
Turn, turn, I wish you'd learn
There's a time and place for everything
I've got to get it through.
Cut loose 'cause you're no use
I couldn't stand another
Second in your company.
FFS Sinnerman don't make em so hard, I had to look the answer up on Google - I am The Resurrection ~ The Stone Roses
next song...
It's a kind of magic,
It's a kind of magic,
A kind of magic,
One dream, one soul, one prize,
One goal, one golden glance of what should be,
It's a kind of magic,
A kind of magic by Queen
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
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 eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
A kind of magic - Queen
Damn Lover, beat me. Okay: Sting, Desert Rose.

A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

Paradise City ~ GNR
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
Somewhere Only We Know - Keane (love the song)
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
"Everybody's Changing"--Keane
Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had, baby
