Phx Favorite Song Lyrics...

damn good song

 

Hell yeah!

CAKE is definate party music. I can't tell you how many times I got smashed to this album.

Nothing like a good buzz on CAKE.

 

This is quite possibly the worst song I have ever heard and now it leaves a dark spot on my soul. Now that you have been properly warned!

Love will tear us apart
By Joy Division

When routine bites hard
and ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways
taking different roads.

Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Why is the bedroom so cold
turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed
our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
that we've kept through our lives.

Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Do you cry out in your sleep,
all my failings expose?
Gets a taste in my mouth
as desperation takes hold.
Why is it something so good
just can't function no more?

Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again...

 

Can't decide if I like Heath Ledger's or Lauryn Hill's version better....

Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

I need you baby,
and if it's quite all right,
I need you baby,
to warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby,
don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby,
now that I found you, stay
And let me love you,
Oh baby let me love you, oh baby...

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

I need you baby
and if it's quite all right
I need you baby
to warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
And let me love you,
Oh baby let me love you, oh baby...

I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm a lonely night
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
And let me love you
Oh baby let me love you, oh baby...

 

This one is for Eric Cartman:

Styx
"Come Sail Away"

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

 

[Homer]
Around the house, I never lift a finger
As a husband and father, I'm sub-par
I'd rather drink a beer than win father of the year
I'm happy with things the way they are
[Lisa] I'm getting used to never getting noticed
[Bart] I'm stuck here until I can steal a car
[Marge]
The house is still a mess
And I'm going bald from stress!
[Homer, Bart & Lisa] But we're happy just the way we are!
[Flanders] They're not perfect, but the Lord says love thy neighbour
[Homer] - Shut up, Flanders
[Flanders] Okely-dokely-doo
[Shary]
Don't think it's sour grapes
But you're all a bunch of apes
And so I must be leaving you!

 

This one is in honor of all the FREAKS on this board:

Freaks Come Out At Night Lyrics
Whodini


[Chorus]
The freaks come out at night
The freaks come out at night
The freaks come out at night
(the freaks come out)
The freaks come out at night

Discos don't open till after dark
And it ain't till twelve till the party really starts
And I always had to be home by ten
Right before the fun was about to begin
Crowds of people lined up inside and out
Just one reason, to rock the house
But in the day time the streets was clear
You couldn't find a good freak anywhere, 'cause

[Chorus]

Now when freaks get dressed to go out at night
They like to wear leather jackets, chains and spikes
They wear rips and zippers all in their shirts
Real tight pants and fresh mini skirts
All kinds of colors runnin' through their hair
And you could just about find a freak anywhere
But then again, you could know someone all their life
But might not know they're a freak unless you see them at night, 'cause

[Chorus]

Now the party's jumpin', the place is packed
And when the crowd's like this, I'm ready to rap
But before I could bust a rhyme on the mic
Freaks are all over me like white on rice
Freaks come in all shapes, sizes and colors
But what I like about 'em most is that they're real good lovers
They do it in the park, they do it in the dark
But most freaks are known for breakin' hearts
You could never tell what a freak was thinkin' of
And you may never catch a freak without at least one glove
And they don't walk, when they step, they strut
And nine times out of ten they drive you nuts
But take my advice, you don't stand a chance
Freaks are so bad they got their own dance
So if you wanna live a nice quiet life
Do yourself a favor, don't come out at night, 'cause

[Chorus]

Hut one, hut two
Hut hut hut

[Chorus]

 

Can't decide if I like Heath Ledger's or Lauryn Hill's version better....

Let's go with the ORIGINAL version, by Frankie Valli

 

Carl Douglas
Kung Fu Fighting


Oh-oh-oh-oh...
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting,
those jerks were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning,
but they fought with expert timing
There was funky China men from funky ChinatownThey were trapping when up,
they were trapping when down
It's an ancient Chinese art,
and everybody knew their partFor my friend, ain't you a stiff,
then I'm kickin' from the hip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting,
those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning,
but they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billie Jim and little
Sammy John
He said, here comes the big boss,
let's get it on
We took the bow and made a stand, started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me stiff, now we're into a brand new trip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting, those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning, but they did it with expert timing
Oh-oh-oh-oh...
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting,
those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning, make sure you have expert timing
Kung Fu fighting,
had to be fast as lightning...

(It ain't the years, honey, . . . )

 

Nah, I don't like that version. Heath's is heartfelt and Lauryn's is sexy...

HOLY CRAP KUNG FU FIGHTING RULES!!!!!!!!!!



Ok is there nothing more peaceful than the guitar on this next one....

Dust In The Wind
by Kansas

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moments gone
all my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity
dust in the wind
all we are dust in the wind

Some old song
just a drop of water
in an endless sea
all we do
crumbles to the ground
though we refuse to see
dust in the wind

Now, don´t hang on
nothing lasts forever
but the earth and sky
it slips away
And all your money
won`t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
all we are dust in the wind
dust in the wind

 

Artist: Neil Diamond
Song: Windmills of Your Mind

Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnaval balloon
Like a carousell that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of it's own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that I said
Lovers walking along the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand

Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this song
Half remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
As the images unwind
Like the circle that you find
In the windmills of your mind

 

DIANA KRALL
I'll String Along With You

You may not be an angel
Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you

I looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll sing my song to you

For every little fault that you have
Say I've got three or four
The human little faults you do have
Just make me love you more

You may not be an angel
But still I'm sure you'll do
So until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you


DIANA KRALL
When I Look In Your Eyes

When I look in your eyes, I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes
When I look in your eyes.

And it is no surprise, to see the softness of the moon in your eyes
The gentle sparkle of the stars in your eyes
When I look in your eyes.

In your eyes, I see the deepness of the sea
I see the deepness of the love
The love I feel you feel for me.

Autumn comes, summer dies
I see the passing of the years in your eyes
And when we part there will be no tears no goodbyes
I'll just look into your eyes.

Those eyes, so wise
So warm, so real
How I love the world, your eyes reveal.

 

here's a good one. it makes me cry sometimes, and most people probably haven't heard it.

Fiona Apple, "I Know"

So be it, I'm your crowbar
If that's what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess

And I will pretend
That I don't know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess

But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know

And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down

And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background

But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know

Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around

So for the time being, I'm being patient

And amidst this bitterness
If you'll just consider this-even if it don't make sense
All the time-give it time

And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door

While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore

And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
It's ok, don't need to say it.

 

Feeling...a...bit:

Song: I'm Coming Out Lyrics

I'm coming out
I'm coming
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out
I'm coming out

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

There's a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I'm completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I'll make it through

The time has come for me
To break out of the shell
I have to shout
That I'm coming out

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

I've got to show the world
All that I wanna be
And all my billities
Ther's so much more to me
Somehow, I have to make them
Just understand
I got it well in hand
And, oh, how I've planned
I'm spreadin' love
There's no need to fear
And I just feel so glad
Everytime I hear:

I'm coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
I'm coming out
I want the world to know
I got to let it show

 

i like the robert frost quote in your sig, chewie, is that new?

 

yes jess that is a perfect song. I love Fiona Apple.

Fiona Apple....hmmm.... although I LOVE the "I've been a bad, bad girl" lyrics of Criminal, I have to say my favorite song is her version of this Beatles tune off the AMAZING Pleasantville Soundtrack....

Across the Universe
Fiona Apple Version

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.

Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on, across the universe.
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box,
They tumble blindly as they make their way,
Across the universe.

Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing through my open views,
Inviting and inciting me.
Limitless, undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
it calls me on and on,
Across the universe.

Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

 

"This Is All I Ask"
Words and Music by Gordon Jenkins

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasures
And so I happily concede
That this is all I ask
This is all I need

Beautiful girls, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunsets, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange, enchanted land grown-ups seldom understand

Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
And I will stay younger than Spring

 

Now I have to say I prefer the Sting's version of "Windmills of Your Mind" I think it sounds, dare I say, sexier; IE Stings the man!

 

Keeping a theme going, although me not personally

Weather Girls It's Raining Men Lyrics


Hi (hi), we're your weather girls (uh-huh)
And have we got news for you (you better listen)
Get ready all you lonely girls
And leave those umbrellas at home (all right)

Humidity is rising (uh rising)
Barometer's getting low (how low girl, uh-oh)
According to all sources (what sources now)
The street's the place to go (we better hurry up)
'Cause tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half past 10 (half past 10)
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men (start raining men)

It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet
It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, every specimen
Tall, blond, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do
She fought every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find the perfect guy

It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen

I hear stormy weather movin' in
'Bout to break it, about to begin
Hear the thunder, don't you lose your head
Rip up the roof and stay in bed (rip up the roof and stay in bed)

God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too
She took on the heavens
And she did what she had to do
She fought every angel
She rearranged the sky
So that each and every woman
Could find the perfect guy
Ooh it's raining men down

Humidity is rising (humidity is rising, yeah it's rising)
Barometer's getting low (it's getting low low low low low low low low low)
(Oh it's getting low)
According to all sources (according to all sources, oh to all sources)
The street's the place to go
Because tonight for the first time (first time)
Just about half past 10 (half past 10)
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men (start raining men)

It's raining men (woo), Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen
It's raining men, Hallelujah
Woah woah woah woah woah woah, Amen
It's raining men (tall and blond and dark and lean)
It's raining men (and rough and tough and strong and mean)
It's raining men (come on), Hallelujah
It's raining men, Amen

Rock Lobster
(I'm With You, MexChewie! )

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
Oooo Wooo
His air hose broke
Oooo Wooo
Lots of trouble
Oooo Wooo
Lots of bubble
Oooo Wooo
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam

Down, down

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down

Let's rock!

Boy's in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin' (what?!! Ed.)

Twistin' 'round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the Lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dog-fish
Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
HERE COMES A BIKINI WHALE!We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
Oooo Wooo
His air hose broke
Oooo Wooo
Lots of trouble
Oooo Wooo
Lots of bubble
Oooo Wooo
He was in a jam

Repeat Chorus

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dog-fish
Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!

 

She Walks This Earth
Ivan Lins and Brenda Russell
{Performed by: Sting}

She's a soulful flower in the garden
She's bobbing in the sunlight
And flirting with her eyes

The way she walks by
I see a wave of colour
Moving like an angel
Trailing butterflies

Give me water
Give me inspiration
I want to speak now, but I can't find a word
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth

I am restless and burning with desire
And every other heartbeat I beat just for her
I see her smiling
Full is my emotion
This is no illusion
But how can I be heard?

Give me water
Give me inspiration
I want to speak now, but I can't find the words
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth

Give me water
Give me inspiration
I need to hold her like no one else before
So unforgiving is my infatuation
Now that I know she walks upon the Earth
She walks this Earth

 

Rock Lobster.
The lesson is ... don't leave food in the fridge.

 

ok this just came on Launch and brought back some hilarious memories so I had to post it....
Just a Friend
by Biz Markie

Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait
Let me tell ya a story of my situation
I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation
The way that I met her was on tour at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got onstage drippin', pourin' with sweat
I was walkin' through the crowd and gues who I met
I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth, so I can ask you some questions to see if you are a hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said blah-blah-blah
She had 9/10 pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said, "How do you like the show?"
she said, "I was very amused"
I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man," she tried to pretend
She said, "No I don't, I only have a friend"
Come on, I'm not even goin' for it
This is what I'm goin' sing

You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend

So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like Agnes, Agatha, Germaine, and Jacq
Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named blah-blah-blah that adored me
So we started talkin', getttin' familiar
Spendin' a lot of time so we can build up
A relationship or some undderstanding
How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doin'
Everytime that I ccalled her it seemed somethin' was brewin'
I called her on my dime, picked up, and then I called again
I said, "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
Don't gimme that, don't ever gimme that
Jus' bust this

You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You, you got what I need but you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend

So I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I as on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrrived in front of the dormitory
Yo, could you tell me where is door three?
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in the mouth,
I was so in shock my heart went down south
So please listen to the message that I say
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend
