Timeless Lyrics. Please no Youtube. Just the words. Go with it. 02:41 - Feb 7 with 44204 viewsmarkrtid

To kick off easytime.

Bowie

'I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low.'

Those words get to me every time I hear them.

Best invitation ever:

"Wailers be there
The Dammed, The Jam, The Clash
Maytals will be there
Doctor Feelgood too, ooh
No boring old farts, no boring old farts, no boring old farts
Will be there
No boring old farts, no boring old farts, no boring old farts
Will be there

And it's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
Punky reggae party
And it's alright"

A magnificent football club, the love of our lives, finding a way to finally have its day in the sun.

A love song written by Gino Paoli after visiting a prostitute. Mina Mazzini's version is used in Scorsese's Goodfellas.

Quando sei qui con meWhen you are here with me
questa stanza non ha più paretithis room has no walls
ma alberi, alberi infinitibut trees, never ending trees.
Quando tu, sei vicino a meWhen you are here with me
questo soffitto violathe ceiling disappears
no, non esiste più.no, it no longer exists.
Io vedo il cielo sopra noiI see the sky above us
che restiamo quias we are lying here
abbandonatiabandoned
come se non ci fosse piùas if there is nothing,
niente, più niente al mondo.nothing else in the world.
Suona un'armonicaA harmonica is playing
mi sembra un organoto me it sounds like an organ
che vibra per te e per methat plays for you and me
su nell'immensità del cielo.up above in the vastness of the sky.
Per te e per me:For you, for me,
nel cieloin the sky.
Gino Paoli, Il cielo in una stanza (1960)

So nice to be able to post something happening now.

Jessica Pratt - Here my love.




He's sincerely worn this weary heart
Here my love, near my love
Try to keep my worries safe from where they'll do you harm
But I can't be sure, endeavors I'm depending on
Your love had a tender tone, would ease my own
Fear my love, here my love
Solemn advice that I've asked of you to counsel me through
If I were in contemplation, I'd stay for a while
Oh, I've thought of it time to time
Our stolen city sighs
I'll lose him, how do I?
He's sincerely worn this weary heart
Here my love, near my love
Try to keep my worries safe from where they'll do you harm
But I can't be sure, endeavors I'm depending on
Your love had a tender tone
A sentimental end, I know
Solemn advice that I've asked of you to counsel me through
If I were in contemplation, I'd stay for a while
Oh, I've thought of it time to time
Our stolen city sighs
I'll lose him, how do I?
He's sincerely worn this heart of mine
He's not really gone, he's in my mind

The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
I remember it well

Standing at the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain,
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again.

Under the deep red light
I can see the makeup sliding down,
Well, hey little girl, you will always make up,
So take off that unbecoming frown.
As for me, well, I'll find someone
Who's not going cheap in the sales.

The wonderful Aretha
I sometimes sing, walking down the road,
Whenever I wake up
Whenever I put on make up...
Bit odd coming from a bloke but wtf it's the wonderful Aretha.

One has to admire anyone who can get the word 'interventionist' into a pop song...

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Red Right Hand
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the border fires
In the humming wires
Hey man, you know
You're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand
He'll wrap you in his arms
Tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all the dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole
Heal your shrinking soul
But there won't be a single thing
That you can do
He's a god, he's a man
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Through this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat
Is a red right hand
You…
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares
You'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
He ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head
On the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
You to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god
He's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
His red right hand
Songwriters: Nicholas Edward Cave / Mick Harvey / Thomas Wydler

Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.

Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician's argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.

"...The monkey is never dead, Dealer. The monkey never dies. When you kick him off, he just hides in a corner, waiting his turn."

Heterogeneous.
Now there's a word to get into a pop song.

Fallout of love
It's the fallout of love
(what you want and you need)
Do right, they do wrong, they understand
That they're never ever ever ever gonna win
These are the better times
(oh yeah darlin'!)
I'm a heterogeneous
I wanna testify (oooh)
But she does it but she doesn't understand
Faithless now I just got soul (baby)

The Guns of Brixton
The Clash
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

"A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours" by The Smiths

Very appropriate words for all genuine Remainers - after the EU Elections, one more push and a proper second referendum is ours.

The others? ....... "And people who are uglier than you and I? They take what they need, and just leave" .. a perfect paraphrase for the Brexiteers.


Oh hello, I am the ghost of Troubled Joe
Hung by his pretty white neck
Some eighteen months ago
I travelled to a mystical time zone
And I missed my bed
And I soon came home

They said, "There's too much caffeine
In your bloodstream
And a lack of real spice in your life"
I said, "Leave me alone
Because I'm alright, Dad
Surprised to still be on my own"

Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the strain of the pain again
A rush and a push and the land
That we stand on is ours
It has been before so it shall be again
And people who are uglier than you and I
They take what they need, and just leave

Oh, but don't mention love
I'd hate the pain of the strain all over again
A rush and a push and the land
That we stand on is ours
It has been before so why can't it be now?
And people who are weaker than you or I
They take what they want from life

Oh, but don't mention love
No, no, don't mention love
A rush and a push and the land
That we stand on is ours
Your youth may be gone
But you're still a young man
So phone me, phone me
So phone me, phone me, phone me

Oh, I think I'm in love, oh, I think I'm in love
Oh, I think I'm in love, think I'm in love
I think I'm in love, oh

Heterogeneous. A fine word. I am certainly looking forward to the heterogeneous facilities when we get the new ground.

Btw, for the maintenance of thread etiquette and avoidance of faux pas, I believe it was a firm requirement that no Youtube videos were to be used (see thread title).

written by Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys:

"Suck It And See"

Your love is like a studded leather headlock
Your kiss it could put creases in the rain
You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock
And those other girls are just postmix lemonade

Suck it and see you never know
Sit next to me before I go
Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes
Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you

I poured my aching heart into a pop song
I couldn't get the hang of poetry
That's not a skirt girl that's a sawn off shotgun
And I can only hope you've got it aimed at me

Suck it and see you never know
Sit next to me before I go
Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes
Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you

Blue moon girls from once upon a Shangri-La
How I often wonder where you are
You have got that face that just says
"Baby, I was made to break your heart"

Suck it and see, you never know
Sit next to me before I go
Go, go, go
Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes
Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you

Some fine despair from Peter Green:

Shall I tell you about my life?
They say I'm a man of the world.
I've flown across every tide
And I've seen lots of pretty girls.

I guess I've got everything I need
I wouldn't ask for more
And there's no one I'd rather be
But I just wish that I had never been born.

I've lost dreams that won't come back
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad

Wonder what I'm thinking
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see
I'm not the man I used to be

Fine young Cannibals - 'I'm Not the Man I used to be'

A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
