The lyrics thread!

You come into the threshold / Of another starless night of fear / You're running from the demons / That would drag you down again / Illusions of the world are spinning / Out of time and frame and synchronicity //you're so sad, you're such a sad-eyed girl / You're so sad, in your own sub-plot // What is, what is this, this mess of my existence is / All these politics of life and death and relevance / It's my existence // Another morning / It comes running up your bedpost with the wind / You face yourself just like you always do / Time and time again / The mortal coil of image / Inner peace and satisfaction // And so you keep it on the down-low / Hiding all the secrets that are down below / And so you keep it on the down-low / Tell me baby, was it worth it all? //Oh just take it all, make it work and make some sense / just take it all, You're my existence/ You're my existence --Kevin Max, 'Existence'

Song title:Sei Grande

Ê

Lyrics
Ogni passo, ogni faccia, ogni cosa che fai
Ogni volta e' un massacro se tu te ne vai
Si lo so che mi piace fermarmi a pensarti
Ma se posso toccarti funziona di piu'.
E non serve spiegarti la storia che sei
[le parole son senza ritorno lo sai]
Preferisco appoggiare le labbra alle tue
[col respiro che si agita contro le mie]
Non mi va di parlare di ieri
Con la vita non ci sto mai pari
Tu sei molto diversa dagli altri, dai di piu'.

CHORUS:
A pensarci bene il bello di te
E' che viaggi sempre sulle mie frequenze, sei grande
Ed in certe cose sei come me
Non t'accontenti di essere una tra tante, sei grande

Ed do molto rispetto per ogni tua idea
[non la voglio cambiare per pazzesca che sia]
Non ti stresso per farti piu' simile a me
[che se fossi diversa non saresti piu' te]
Poi nessuno conosce nessuno
Non si sa mai con chi stai, pero'

CHORUS:

A pensarci bene il bello di te
E' che viaggi sempre sulle mie frequenze, sei grande
Prendi quel che serve fino che c'e'
Mi dai tanto e non te ne accorgi neanche
Sei grande, ma grande

CHORUS (x2):
A pensarci bene il bello di te
E' che viaggi sempre sulle mie frequenze, sei grande
Ed in certe cose sei come me
Non t'accontenti di essere una tra tante, sei grande


now anyone want a translation ? ;)

Title: Taxman


Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'cause I'm the taxman,
yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five percent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'cause I'm the taxman,
yeah, I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold, I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet
Taxman

'Cause I'm the taxman,
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Don't ask me what I want it for (ha ha Mr. Wilson)
If you don't want to pay some more (ha ha Mr. Heath)
'cause I'm the taxman,
yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'cause I'm the taxman,
yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but mehehel
 
Cliches

By: Jimmy Buffett
1975

She's got a ballpark figure
He's got a ballpoint pen
They travel around for weeks at a time
Writin' down descriptions of the places they been

She plays guitar but nothin' fancy
With no intention of becomin' a star
Only thing that's botherin' him these days
Is where he's gonna find a good ten-cent cigar

Cliches
Good ways
To say what you mean
Mean what you say

She never did make her debut
He never made it to class
She's eighty-sixed from the Chart Room
He's twenty nine and pushin' thirty real fast

They're funny when they get to rockin'
Goin' out for a night on the town
Takin' Polaroid pictures that are never in focus
Just to look at when they finally slow down

Full moon
So soon
Wishin' every month of the year could be June

He's always tuned into Star Trek
She's always tuned into him
Hidin' his cookies when he gets the munchies
Tryin' hard just to keep the boy slim

Tonight they're gonna go star gazin'
An' try to figure out which one they're near
But try as they might I don't think they'll reach the height
You know you can't get there from here

Full moon
So soon
Wishin' every month of the year could be June

Cliches
Good ways
To say what you mean
Mean what you say
To say what you mean
Mean what you say

Here's an example of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall part II:

The real lyrics:
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave those kids alone

Misheard as:
We don't need no education
We don't need no BIRTH CONTROL
The dark's a hazard in the classroom
Teacher leave those kids alone

My favorite web site, but they need to update more often.
 
Hey Klink, your melody is fine, but I like these lyrics better


(one, two, thray, four)
(one, two [nasal hocking sound])

I used to be a pinball freak
That's where you'd find me every week
But now it's Pacman
Yeah it's the Pacman

I love to gobble up those dots
Keep pumpin' quarters in the slots
They call it Pacman
Yeah it's the Pacman

At the game arcade, they say I'm hard core
I can play all day 'til my hands are sore
And I quit my job just to play some more
But I won't give up 'til I break high score

Pacman [music from Pacman "intermission"]

Well it's the Pacman
Yeah it's the Pacman

Well it takes a lot of cash to play
(Pacman, get the cherry)
So I'm gonna sell my house today
(Pacman, eat 'em up)

I'm playin' Pacman
Yeah it's the Pac-ma-an

Hey mom, I won't be home this year
(Pacman)
Please forward all my mail right here
(Pacman)
I'm at the Pacman
Yeah it's the Pacman

And you're playing with no one but me
Pacman

Happy Birthday
by "Weird Al" Yankovic


Lyrics:

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year
We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer
You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat
A million npeople every day are starving in the street

Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
There's garbage in the water
There's poison in the sky
I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits
Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits
The monkeys in the pentagon are gonna cook our goose
Their finger's on the button, all they need it an excuse

It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow! (background screaming, sound effect)

Well there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight
There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight
There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed
Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed

I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun
So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take
Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow!

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

(Happy Birthday!)

And a pinch to grow an inch!

Here's some more from kissthisguy:

Rolling Stones, Ruby Tuesday.

Real Lyrics:
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday

Misheard as:
Goodbye groovy toothpaste

:p
 
His thoughts like a hundred moths, Trapped in a lampshade, Somewhere within, Their wings banging and burning, On through endless nights, Forever awake he lies shaking and starving, Praying for someone to turn off the lights.

ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY

[Timbaland]

Dirty South, can y'all really feel me

East coast feel me

West coast feel me

(repeat x 2)


[Aaliyah - Verse 1 (Playa sings the parentheses)]

Boy, I been watching you like a hawk in the sky

That flies, cause you were my prey (my prey)

Boy, I promise you if we keep bumpin heads

I know that one of these days (days)

We gon hook it up while we talk on the phone

But see, I don't know if that's good

I been holding back this secret from you

I probably shouldn't tell it but


[CHORUS]

If I, if I let you know

You can't tell nobody

I'm talking bout nobody

Are you responsible

Boy I gotta watch my back

cause im not just anybody

Is it my go, is it your go

Sometimes I'm goody-goody

Right now I'm naughty naughty

Say yes or say no

Cause I really need somebody

Tell me YOUR that somebody


[Aaliyah Verse 2]

Boy, won't you pick me up at the park right now

Up the block, while everyone sleeps (sleeps, sleeps)

I'll be waiting there with my tucks, my loads, my hat

Just so I'm low key

If you tell the world (don't sleep, you know that we'll be weak)

Oh boy, see I'm trusting you with my heart, my soul

I probably shouldn't let ya but if I


[CHORUS 2]

If I, if I let this go

You can’t tell nobody

I'm talking bout nobody

Are you responsible

Boy I gotta watch my back

cause im not just anybody

Is it my go, is it your go

Sometimes I'm goody-goody

Right now I'm naughty naughty

Say yes or say no

Cause I really need somebody

Tell me YOUR that somebody


[Timbaland]

Baby girl

I'm the man from the big VA

Won't you come play round my way

And listen to what I gotta say

Timbaland

Don't you know I am the man

Rock shows here to Japan

Have people shaking-shaking my hand

Baby girl, better known as Aaliyah

Give me hives, corns, and high fevers

Make the playa haters believe us

Don'tcha know

Gotta tell somebody

Cause


[Aaliyah]

Cause I really need somebody

Tell me you're that somebody


[Repeat CHORUS 2]


[CHORUS)

You can't tell nobody, I’m talking about nobody

I hope you're responsible

Boy I gotta watch my back

CAUSE IM NOT JUST ANYBODY

Is it my go, is it your go

Sometimes I'm goody-goody

Right now I'm NAUGHTY NAUGHTY

Say yes or say no

Cause I really need somebody

Tell me YOU that somebody


[Instrumental break]


(CHORUS:

Is it my go, is it your gO

Sometimes I'm goody-goody

Right now I'm NAUGHTY NAUGHTY

Cause I really need somebody

Tell me YOUR that somebody
 
Tupac keep Yo head up
Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I say the darker the flesh then the deeper the roots
I give a holler to my sisters on welfare
Tupac cares and don't nobody else care
I know they like to beat ya down a lot
When you come around the block brothas clown a lot
But please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up
Forgive but don't forget keep your head up
And when he tells you you ain't nothin don't believe him
And if he can't learn to love you you should leave him
Cuz sista you don't need him
And I ain't tryin to gash up, I just call em how I see em
You know it makes me unhappy When brothas make babies and leave a young mother to be a pappy And since we all came from a woman Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women And if we don't then we'll have a race of babies That hate the ladies that make the babies And since a man can't make one
HE HAS NO RIGHT TO TELL A WOMEN WHEN AND WHERE TO CREATE ONE So would the real men get up I know your fed up ladies, but keep your head up
 
These lyrics always reminded me of 1984 by George Orwell, but they're not actually based on it according to my Floyd book. Here is:

Julia Dream
by Pink Floyd

Sunlight bright upon my pillow
Lighter than an eiderdown
Will she let the weeping willow
Wind his branches round
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams

Every night I turn the light out
Waiting for the velvet bride
Will the scaly armadillo
Find me where I'm hiding
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams

Will the misty master break me
Will the key unlock my mind
Will the following footsteps catch me
Am I really dying
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams
 
Eating a banana is so much fun.
Eating a banana keeps us in the run.
Eating a banana is likes a gun.
Eating a banana tastes like rum.

Go eat a banana!
Go think at Anna!
Go eat a banana!
Go think at Africa!

Eating a banana is so much fun.
Eating a banana keeps us in the run.
Eating a banana is likes a gun.
Eating a banana tastes like rum.

Come to us the Aap Monkeys!
Come to us and steal the keys!
Come to us the Aap Monkeys!
Come to us and make a deal!

Eating a banana is so much fun.
Eating a banana keeps us in the run.
Eating a banana is likes a gun.
Eating a banana tastes like rum.

We are hungry and without food.
We want to eat in the wood.
We are hungry and without food.
We want to eat the neighbourhood.

Eating a banana is so much fun.
Eating a banana keeps us in the run.
Eating a banana is likes a gun.
Eating a banana tastes like rum.
 
Film at eleven
There's a war out in the street
Rolling lucky seven
Something feels incomplete

Heads that divide time
Counting backwards in heat
All that's yours, should be mine
Want both sides of the sun to meet

Chorus:
Swing low-sweet sin
Never know-'til I'm in
Riot in English

Somewhere over the cuckoo's nest
Skylark 17
Tiptoes thru the tulips
Do you know what I mean

Conquered by the best of mice
Lipstick and a phone call later
Domino paradise-all for the price
Will you be the one to save her
 
Herve you broke the rule :p
but it doesnt matter for now, you are excuses cause you are herve ;-)

here are my lyrics (for the greeks among us, translation will be forthcoming if somene requests it)

My favorite song for this time period

Artist: Dionisis Shinas
Song: Alla Logia min les (Dont say another word)

Kleftes maties kai ola piran mpros
lathos stigmi mas ksipnisa esthimata
thes na xorisis, psaxnis gia to pos

Eisai mikro, ma prepei na to deis

pos stin kardia mou den tha kratithis

Alla logia min les,

des tora ti thes

alla logia min les,

des tora ti thes

Mazi tou les pos niothis sigouria
pane tris mines, kai den kanis tipota

ma ola auta, ego ta blepo ipopta

Eisai mikro, ma prepei na to deis
pos stin agapi den xoroun enigmata

Admiral
 
Superman
So here I am
doing everything I can
holding on to what I am
pretending I'm a superman
I'm trying to keep
the ground on my feet
it seems the world's
falling down around me
the nights are all long
I'm singing this song
to try and make the answers
more than maybe

and I'm so confused
about what to do
sometimes I want
to throw it all away

so here I am
looking older all the time
growing older all the time
feeling younger in my mind

I'm trying to sleep
I lost count of the sheep
my mind is racing faster
every minute
what could I do more
yeah I'm really not sure
I know I'm running circles
but I can't quit

and I'm so confused
about what to do
sometimes I want to
throw it all away
controlling everything in site

I'm feeling weak
I don't feel right
you're telling me
I have to change
telling me to act my age
but if all that I can do
is just sit and watch time go
then I'll have to say good bye
life's too short to watch it fly
watch it fly
