Memories of the roller rink . . . .

Sweet Talkin? Woman by ELO:

Chorus: Where did you go?

I was searchin? on a one-way street,
I was hopin?for a chance to meet.
I was waitin? for the operator on the line.

She?s gone so long, what can I do?
Where could she be? no no no,
Don?t know what I?m gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

You gotta slow down sweet talkin? woman slow down
You got me runnin? you got me searchin?.
Hold on sweet talkin? lover hold on
It?s so sad if that?s the way it?s over.

I was walkin? many days go by,
I was thinkin? ?bout the lonely nights.
Communication breakdown all around.

She?s gone so long what can I do?
Where could she be?, no no no,
Don?t know what I?m gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

You gotta slow down sweet talkin? woman slow down
You got me runnin? you got me searchin?.
Hold on sweet talkin? lover, hold on
It?s so sad if that?s the way it?s over.

I?ve been livin? on a dead end street,
I?ve been askin? kindly everybody I meet.
Insufficient data coming through.

She?s gone so long what can I do?
Where could she be?, no no no,
Don?t know what I?m gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

Oh, slow down sweet talkin? woman slow down
You got me runnin? you got me searchin?.
Hold on sweet talkin? lover hold on
It?s so sad if that?s the way it?s over.

Slow down sweet talkin? woman
You got me runnin?, you got me searchin?.
Hold on sweet talkin? lover
It?s so sad if that?s the way it?s over.

Slow down sweet talkin? woman slow down
You got me runnin?, you got me searchin?.
Hold on sweet talkin? lover (hold on)
It?s so sad if that?s the way it?s over. (repeat & fade out)

 

STALKER BY AUDIOVENT
Good Band. some lyrics I censored...

You
Don't give up
You're my stalker
Leave me be

I know I should not pretend
That I like you
When you just suffocate me
A lack of O2 is killing me
And I'd kill you
If I could

You
Don't give up
You're my stalker
Leave me be
You
Number one
You're my stalker
Feed on me

And just when I think you're gone
There you are
censored...
I fear for me sometimes

Let me go

You
Don't give up
You're my stalker
Leave me be
You
Number one
You're my stalker
Feed on me

You want me
censored....
I'm static
You're clinging
You're my clingon

You
Don't give up
You're my stalker
Feed on me
You
Don't give up
You're my stalker
Leave me be

You
Number one
You're my stalker
Feed on me
You

 

I can't link a gif from the video -- yes, I could find a "PG" one!

In Demand (Texas)

When we were together I was blown away
Just like paper from a fan
But you would act like I was just a kid
Like we were never gonna last

Now I've got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
And you said, I was the best you've ever had

Refrain :
Because I'm in demand
You're thinking of the way you should have held my hand
And all the times you said you didn't understand
You never had our love written in your plans
But now I'm in demand

Don't ever think you saw the best in me
There's a side you'll never know
Cos love and loving are two different things
Set your sites far too low

Now I've got someone who cares for me
He wrote my name in silver sands
I think you know you've lost the love of your life
And you said, I was the best you've ever had

Refrain 2x

It's only when I fall a sleep
I see that winning smile
When my dreams just move along
You've lost the race by miles

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Never had our love written in your plans
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Refrain

You know I'm in demand
You see I'm in demand
You never had our love written in your plans

You know I'm in demand
You see I'm in demand
You need me in demand
You want me in demand

 

I was singing this song while I was driving in the rain last night and someone shot by me at 60 on Scottsdale RD/Rule.

Radiohead
Killer Cars

Too hard on the brakes again
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get out of the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?
I'm going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive...

Don't die on the motorway
The moon would freeze, the plants would die
I couldn't cope if you crashed today
All the things I forgot to say
I'm going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
What if the car loses control?
What if there's someone overtaking?

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive killer cars

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
No they won't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive killer cars
They all drive killer cars
They all drive killer cars

 

For all you Depeche Mode fans out there, I really like this one.

Depeche Mode - Sister Of Night
From the album "Ultra"

Sister of night
When the hunger descends
And your body's a fire
An inferno that never ends
An eternal flame
That burns in desire's name
Sister of night
When the longing returns
Giving voice to the flame
Calling you through flash that burns
Breaking down your will
To move in for the kill
Oh sister come for me
Embrace me assure me
Hey sister I feel it too
Sweet sister just feel me
I'm trembling, you heal me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sister of night
In your saddest dress
As you walk through the light
You're desperate to impress
So you slide to the floor
Feeling insecure
Sister of night
With the loneliest eyes
Tell yourself it's alright
He'll make such a perfect prize
But the cold light of day
Will give the game away
Oh sister, come for me
Embrace me, assure me
Hey sister, I feel it too
Sweet sister, just feel me
I'm trembling, you heal me
Hey sister, I feel it too

 

Here is one to follow that song

Concrete Blonde

Bloodletting Lyrics:There?s a crack in the mirror
And a bloodstain on the bed -
There?s a crack in the mirror
And a bloodstain on the bed -
O you were a vampire and baby
I?m walking dead
O you were a vampire and baby
I?m walking dead

I got the ways and means
To new orleans I?m going
Down by the river
Where it?s warm and green
I?m gonna have drink, and walk around
I got a lot to think about oh yeah

There?s a rocking chair by the window
Down the hall
I hear something there in the shadow
Down the hall
O you were a vampire and now I am
Nothing at all
O you were a vampire and now I am
Nothing at all

They used to dance in the garden in the
Middle of the night
They used to dance in the garden in the
Middle of the night
They were naked as the day they were
Born skin all bone-china white
O you were a vampire
And I may never see the light

 

I've got almost all their albums. I love the fact that the song that sounds like a love song is a vampire song and the love song in there isn't about good love

 

From Sesame Street

Sing!
Sing a song!
Sing out loud!
Sing out strong!

Sing of good things,
not bad!
Sing of happy,
not sad!

Sing!
Sing a song!
Make it simple,
to last your whole life long.
Don't worry if it's not good enough
for anyone else to hear.

Just sing!
Sing a song!

La la la la la
La la la la la
LA LA LA LA LA LA
La la la la la
La la la la la
LA LA LA LA LA LA

Sing!
Sing a song!

 

oh my god i'm having flashbacks of grade school sing-a-longs before school assemblies... we use to sing that before everyone of them, that and this land is your land...

 

My Favorite From Sesame Street
Capital I

We all live in a capital I
In the middle of the desert
In the center of the sky.

All day long we polish up the I
To make it clean and shiny
So it brightens up the sky.

Rubbing it here
And scrubbing it there.
Polishing the I
So high in the air.

And as we work we sing a lively tune
"It is great to be so happy on a busy afternoon."
And when we're through with the day's only chore,
We go into the I
And we close the door.

Capital I, capital I, capital I, capital I

I have the MP3. Its totally a Power Ballad!
Im dying to make an .avi if I had it on tape.

 

Here you go bill, as the pressphoto of one of the many metal gods hangs in your livingroom.


I walk the Earth just as they planned
Baptized in fire for my ancient land
The coming curse, your anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's eye
I vindicate and cleanse the Earth of all mankind

For many years, I've walked among you
Through the folds of time and space
Kingdoms fall, leaders die, as I see fit
I devour souls of those that pose a threat

[chorus]
I walk the Earth another day
The wicked one that comes this way
Savior to my own, devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

I bide my time planning your fate
With bated breath, The Elder wait
The coming curse, your anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's eye
For your crimes on our kind you all will die

[chorus]
I walk the Earth another day
The wicked one that comes this way
Savior to my own, devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

Forged in the sacred flames
On the sixth day
Of the sixth month
In the sixth hour

I am your anti-Christ, I will destroy mankind
Born of the beast and flames
I will devour, I will divide

Hellfire rages in my eyes
Blood will fall like rain this night
The coming curse, the anti-Christ, I am the Watcher's eye
I vindicate and cleanse the Earth of all mankind

I walk the Earth another day
The wicked one that comes this way
Savior to my own, devil to some
Mankind falls, something wicked comes

 

amazing lyrics that no one seems to understand...but me....sigh....

Wonder Wall
by Oasis

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

Back beat, the word is on the street that the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before but you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day but they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

 

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.

(Hold your head up--Keep your head up--MOVIN' ON)

 

It never ceases to amaze me how completely and totally true that song really is.

 

Only You

Only you, can make this world seem bright,
Only you, can make the darkness bright,
Only you and you alone,
Can fill me like you do,
And fill my heart with love for only you.

Ah only you, can make this change in me
But its true, you are my destiny,
When you hold my hand,
I understand the magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you.

Instrumental Bridge

Only you, can make this change in me,
But it's true you are my destiny,
When you hold my hand ,
I understand the magic that you do,
You're my dream come true,
My one and only you.

Heh. I got my first kiss, and slow dance to this song... It'll always have a special place in my heart...

 

one of my first slow dances...

Love Bites
Def Leppard

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of?
Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies?
And say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see?
Ooh babe
Ooh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show?
Ooh c'mon

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

When I'm with you are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
Oh

(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

Ooh yeah
I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

 

Woo Hoo! To get ready for the upcoming KROQ Inland Invasion I am going to post some lyrics from my favorite songs from some of the people playing there... This is one of my all time favorite 80's songs...

Psychedelic Furs--Love My Way

There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough
In

Love my way
It's a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in

Love my way
It's a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

So swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose if
You don't run the race

 

I wonder if you noticed that I posted the complete lyrics to the Patty Larkin song on pg 5??

People who saw "Gosford Park" know this song. Jeremy Northam is neither Novello nor Sinatra, yet, he does a fine job of singing this mellow, mid-tempo lullaby.

The Land of Might-Have-Been
Lyrics: Edward Moore
Music: Ivor Novello

Somewhere there's another land
different from this world below,
far more mercifully planned
than the cruel place we know.
Innocence and peace are there--
all is good that is desired.
Faces there are always fair;
love grows never old nor tired.

We shall never find that lovely
land of might-have-been.
I can never be your king nor
you can be my queen.
Days may pass and years may pass
and seas may lie between--
We shall never find that lovely
land of might-have-been.

Sometimes on the rarest nights
comes the vision calm and clear,
gleaming with unearthly lights
on our path of doubt and fear.
Winds from that far land are blown, whispering with secret breath--
hope that plays a tune alone,
love that conquers pain and death.

Shall we ever find that lovely
land of might-have-been?
Will I ever be your king or you
at last my queen?
Days may pass and years may pass
and seas may lie between--
Shall we ever find that lovely
land of might-have-been?

 

Jeremy Northam mmmmm... [drool face]

i absolutely adore him in emma. gwennie's best movie by far as well...

 

I've got that stupid Lizzie Maquire song in my head!!!

"Why not take a crazy chance
Why not blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Why not? Why not?"

 

The Donnas RULE! And I just realized that we don't have one of their songs on this thread yet!!! So here is a song that cracks me up every time I listen to it. IT ROCKS SOCKS!!! Nothing in this world cooler than kick butt girls. yay! I mean does it get ANY cooler than this:
You thought I would be broken hearted
Maybe I would if you weren't so retarded!
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B - O - R - I - N - G it's like a cheer off! let me go find my old pom poms ...

I Didn't Like You Anyway
by The Donnas

You told me that it just couldn't be
You don't wanna go out with me
No I'm not sad, I don't even care
'Cause dumb boys like you are everywhere
Yeah, that's right
B - O - R - I - N - G
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B - O - R - I - N - G
I wanted something quick and easy
I didn't like you anyway
I was just lookin for fun, uh - huh
I didn't like you anyway
I'm a speed demon on the run
You thought I would be broken hearted
Maybe I would if you weren't so retarded!
I ask your name, you don't even know
You should have dumped me on that talk show
B - O - R - I - N - G
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B - O - R - I - N - G
I wanted something quick and easy
I didn't like you anyway
I was just lookin for fun, uh - huh
I didn't like you anyway
I'm a speed demon on the run
I think that nasal spray got to your brain
I knew you were lame, from your wallet chain
A boston baked bean is the size of your head
I heard you even wet your bed
B - O - R - I - N - G
Too bad you're not the boy for me
B - O - R - I - N - G
I wanted something quick and easy
I didn't like you anyway
I was just lookin for fun, uh - huh
I didn't like you anyway
I'm a speed demon on the run I didn't like you

 

Apparently I AM a little bit country and a little bit rock n roll... shudder...

I See It Now
by Tracy Lawrence

It's good to see your face again
It's been a while
How am I doing?
Well I get by some how
You sure look good
Since your new love
Came in your life
No I didn't see that fire in you
He's found
Oh but I can see it now

Oh I never saw
That look in your eyes
And I never had
You hold me that tight
And I never saw
You dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see it now

Holding him you've never looked more beautiful
Lettin go has been so hard on me
And sittin here it's clear to see
What he means to you
The way you look at him
It ain't no mystery
He's all I couldn't be

Oh I never saw that look in your eyes
And I never had you hold me that tight
And I never saw
You dance with your feet off the ground
Oh but I see it now

 

Can't let princess have all the fun

Beauty and the Beast
By Nightwish

Remember the first dance we shared?
Recall the night you melted my ugliness away?
The night you left with a kiss so kind
Only a scent of beauty left behind

Ah dear friend I remember the night
The moon and the dreams we shared
Your trembling paw in my hand
Dreaming of that northern land
Touching me with a kiss of a beast

I know my dreams are made of you
Of you and only for you
Your ocean pulls me under
Your voice tears me asunder
Love me before the last petal falls

As a world without a glance
Of the ocean's fair expanse
Such the world would be
If no love did flow in thee
But as my heart is occupied
Your love for me now has to die
Forgive me I need more than you can offer me

Didn't you read the tale
Where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?
Don't you know this tale
In which all I ever wanted
I'll never have
For who could ever learn to love a beast?

However cold the wind and rain
I'll be there to ease your pain
However cruel the mirrors of sin
Remember beauty is found within

...Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you...

 

very nice void, very nice. and who says i am having fun?
anyways this was always my favorite billy joel song...perfection really.

Matter of Trust
by Billy Joel

Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
And they may not want it to end
But it will it's just a question of when
I've lived long enough to have learned
The closer you get to the fire the more you get burned
But that won't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust

I know you're an emotional girl
It took a lot for you to not lose your faith in this world
I can't offer you proof
But you're going to face a moment of truth
It's hard when you're always afraid
You just recover when another belief is betrayed
So break my heart of you must
It's a matter of trust

You can't go the distance
With too much resistance
I know you have doubts
But for God's sake don't shut me out

This time you've got nothing to lose
You can take it, you can leave it
Whatever you choose
I won't hold back anything
And I'll walk away a fool or a king
Some love is just a lie of the mind
It's make believe until its only a matter of time
And some might have learned to adjust
But then it never was a matter of trust

I'm sure you're aware love
We've both had our share of
Believing too long
When the whole situation was wrong

Some love is just a lie of the soul
A constant battle for the ultimate state of control
After you've heard lie upon lie
There can hardly be a question of why
Some love is just a lie of the heart
The cold remains of what began with a passionate start
But that can't happen to us
Because it's always been a matter of trust

 

Y'know... you can take any song with the word "love", and substitute the word "drugs"...Makes for some funny songs that way...

"Safe In The Arms Of Love"

My heart's not ready for the rocking chair
I need somebody who really cares
So tired of living solitaire
Someday I'm gonna be
Safe In The Arms Of Love

Strip your heart and it starts to snow
Love is a high - wire act I know
Someday I'll find a net below

Someday I'm gonna be
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
I wanna fall and know that love as caught me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love

I want a heart to be forever mine
Want eyes to see me satisfied
Gonna hang my heartaches out to dry
Someday I'm gonna be safe in the arms of love
Safe In The Arms Of Love

I want arms that know how to rock me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
I wanna fall and know that love as caught me
Safe In The Arms Of Love
Safe In The Arms Of Love
