Re: Song lyrics. Whats your fave?
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year.
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

My thread was just a bit of fun,
O/T and silly, but not the only one,
10 years of photoshops and posts,
Giving charity, advice and jokes,
The loyal posters are ruining the board,
I think more ads are called for.

Re: Song lyrics. Whats your fave?
This verse and chorus from Trumpton Riots by Half man Half biscuit is fekin genius.
Windy Militant rages past
With Corn grinders to war
With windmill sails and bombs with nails
They smash the town hall door.
But Snorty and the boys arrive
With one big erstwhile crew
Whereupon they bring about
A military coup.
Chorus:
Someone get a message through
To Captain Snort
That they better start assembling
The boys from the fort.
Keep Mrs. Honeyman right out of sight,
'Cause there's gonna be riot
Down in Trumpton Tonight

Re: Song lyrics. Whats your fave?
There was a boy I used to be
I guess that he was cold
If she came to buy him now
How cheaply he'd be sold
But the light is gone
And it is dark
What used to be this guy
Is suddenly embarrassing to the naked eye.

Keeping it in the family.
John Lennon - Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
**************************************
Julian Lennon - Salt Water
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how the forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by... right before our eyes
We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying (and now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by... right before our eyes
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes

Re: Song lyrics. Whats your fave?
Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him
Twin exhaust and rusty bumper
Chewing gum at traffic light
Stop at red but leave on amber
Grey Cortina outa sight
Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him
Furlined seats and lettered windscreen
Elbow on the windowsill
Eight track blazing Brucie Springsteen
Bomber jacket, dressed to kill
Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him
Never cop a parking ticket
Never seem to show it's age
Speed police too slow to nick it
Grey Cortina got it made
Wish I had a grey Cortina
Whiplash aerial, racing trim
Cortina owner - no one meaner
Wish that I could be like him

Re: Song lyrics. Whats your fave?
Soak me to my skin
Will you drown me in your sweet submission
Ends and I begin
Choke me, smoke the air
In this citrus-sucking sunshine, I don't care
You're not all there
Every backbone and heart you break
We'll still come back for more
Submission ends it all
Here he come, got no question, got no love
I'm throwing stones at you, man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye badman, ooh bye bye
Choke me, smoke the air
In this citrus-sucking sunshine I don't
Care you're not all there
You've been bought and paid, you're a whore, a slave
Your dock's not a holy shrine
Come taste the end, you're mine
Here he come, got no question got no love
I'm throwing stones at you, man
I want you black and blue and
I'm gonna make you bleed
Gonna bring you down to your knees
Bye bye badman ooh bye bye
I've got bad intentions, I intend to knock you down
These stones I throw, Oh these French kisses
Are the only way I've found...
I've got bad intentions, I intend to knock you down
These stones I throw, Oh these French kisses
Are the only way I've found...
It's about the Paris student riots
