U2 with All that you can't leave behind.

To this world I’m unimportant
Just because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
Tell me why it cost so much to live
Tell me why
This world can turn me down
But I won’t turn away, oh no
I won’t turn around
All my work and endless measures
Never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
Now even though I’m trying so damn hard
I’m trying so hard

Three Doors Down - Duck and Run

I like "When i'm gone"


Let's try if you know this one

"
We are so young
our lives have just begun
but already we´re considering
escape from this world

and we´ve waited for so long
for this moment to come
we´re so anxious to be together
together in death "

Ok...nobody found out its H.I.M - Join me in death

Let's try if you know this one It's a classic one.

I this song


"
How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space"

this one is easy!

take a look at me now - Phil Collins

------x-----------x---------x-----------x----------x-------

I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
you know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my own way...

It's too bad, but hey, that's me
what goes around comes around, you'll see
that I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
and when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, I, I'll never be nobody's wife...

Uhm- not sure....but Anouk - Nobody's Wife?


Just in the mood to listen to old stuff yet ..

also a classic one, i love



"Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for

Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it - there's nothin' I want more"

Bryan Adams, Everything I do


Bit of an odd one this that non-English people may not know...

I drove my tractor through your haystack last night
(ooh aah ooh aah)
I threw me pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet
(ooh aah ooh aah)
Now something's telling me
That you'm avoiding me
Come on now darling you've got something I need

(.......)
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
(......)
An' I'll give you the key

She made I laugh ha ha

I'll stick by you, I'll give you all that you need
We'll 'ave twins and triplets
I'm a man built for speed
And you know I'll love you darlin'
So give me your hand
But what I want the most
Is all they acres of land

Sorry Wilmot but it was hard....google helped me a little

Wurzels

Combine Harvester (Brand New Key)
(Melanie Safka/Brendan O'Shaughnessy)




OK...this thread brings out the oldies I used to heard....



Girl you've got to love your man
Girl you've got to love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends our life will never end
Got to love your man

Riders on the Storm - The Doors Great song


Another cool Band



Just a' urchin
livin' under the street
I'm a hard case
that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin'
for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doin' their time

haaa..... Guns N Roses - Paradise city


continue my oldies.....


I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Alright. I'm goin down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Yeah,! I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady,
you know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
Huh! And that ain't too cool.

Jimi Hendrickx: Hey Joe...
Great song.

This is another great band, with a not so known song. Only fans will know this one I think.

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive
Thankless little *****, for the tears I cried
Take her down now, don't want to see her face
All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace

Twenty seven, everyone was nice
Gotta see'em, make'em pay the price
See their bodies out on the ice
Take my time

Metallica - Am I Evil

Here´s an easy one?

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Bob Dylan, Shelter From the Storm



When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.

When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"

White Rabbit by The Jefferson Airplane. I'm from SF and that is kind of like our city anthem here (remind me to tell you my tragic "Starship" story someday--its a howler! ).

Oh, and the song My Wife And My Dead Wife is by Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians, the album was Fegmania. Anyway...

An easy one, because I am feeling lazy, I've removed the chorus, since that is the title:

Standing on the corner
Got a suitcase in my hand
Jack's in his coat and Jane is in her vest
And me, I'm in a rock n roll band
Riding in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim,
You know those were different times
All the poets they study rules of verse
And those ladies they roll their eyes...

I'll tell you something: Jack he is a banker
And Jane she is a clerk
And both of them save their moneys, oh
When they come home from work
Sitting down by the fire
While the radio does play
The classical music there Jim
The March Of The Wooden Soldiers
All your protest kids
And you can hear Jack say...

Some people like to go out dancing
And other people like us they've got to work
And there's even some evil mothers
That'll tell you that everything is just dirt
And that women never really faint
And that villians always blink their eyes
And that women are the only ones who blush
And that life is just to die
But anyone who ever had a heart
They would turn around and break it
And anyone who ever played a part
They would turn around and hate it...

Heavenly wine and roses
Seem to whisper to her when she smiled...

Velvet underground - Sweet Jane.

now for a pshycadelic classic.

Do you remember a guy that's been
in such early song
I've heard a rumour from ground control
oh no, don't say it's true
I got a message from the action man
I'm happy, hope your happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
sordid detail following

The shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis
and I ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But the planet is glowing

...
chorus
...

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
I'm happy, hope your happy too
One flash of light, but no smoking pistol
I've never done bad things
I've neved done good things
I've never did anything out of the blue
I want an axe to break the ice
I want to come down right now

Ashes To Ashes by David Bowie

A real oldie (from 1951):

Look here girls I'm telling you now
They call me lovin' Dan
I rock 'em roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty minute man

If you don't believe I'm all I say
Come up and take my hand
When I let you go you'll cry:
"Oh yes, he's a sixty minute man!"

There'll be fifiteen minutes of kissing
And then you'll holler, "Please don't stop, don't stop!"
There'll be fifteen minutes of squeezing, fifteen minutes of pleasing
And fifteen minutes of blowing my top

If your old man ain't treating you right
Come up and see old Dan
I rock 'em roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty minute man

Sixty minute man
They call me loving Dan
Sixty minute man
I rock 'em roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty minute man
