Craig David and Sting, 'Rise and Fall'

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
but these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see,
cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself
that you love someone else.
Instead...

I am still fuming that I did not recognise this. Personally like the long creedence version altough the original by Marvin was great too.

Don't beat yourself up, kris.

That'd be It's Probably Me by Sting

Well, I shuffled through the city on the 4th of July
I had a firecracker waiting to blow
Breaking like a rocket who was making it's way
To the cities of Mexico
Lived in an apartment out on Avenue A
I had a tar-hut on the corner of 10th
Had myself a lover that was finer than gold
But I've vroken up and busted up since

And love don't play any games with me, anymore
Like she did before
The world won't wait, so I'd better shake
That thing right out there through the door
Hell, I still love love New York

RIO

Ryan Adams, New york New york. (Had to use google here, never heard of him...)

A little hint here, this is the song I listen to almost all the time... I have mentioned it in other music threads. Kind of hard, but I give you the complete song. I love it.

All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles
And prehistoric garbage trucks
Have the city to themselves
Echoes roars dinosaurs
They're all doing the monster mash
And most of the taxis and the whores
Are only taking calls for cash

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

My door was standing open
Security was laid back and lax
But it was only my heart got broken
You must have had a pass key made out of wax
You played robbery with insolence
And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane
And you never did have the intelligence to use
The twelve keys hanging off my chain

I don't know how it happened
It all took place so quick
But all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Now it's past last call for alcohol
Past recall has been here and gone
The landlord finally paid us all
The satin jazzmen have put away their horns
And we're standing outside of this wonderland
Looking so bereaved and so bereft
Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands
The bottle's empty and there's nothing left

I don't know how it happened
It was faster than the eye could flick
But now all I can do is hand it to you
And your latest trick

Definitly Dire Straits.. I know it´s from ´Brothers in Arms´ but not sure what it´s called.. My guess is ´And your latest trick" (too lazy to check google)..

Here´s another classic..

We sail through endless skies
stars shine like eyes
the black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
falls down in tears
light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
of sapphire haze
in orbit always

While down below the trees
bathed in cool breeze
silver starlight breaks down the night
And so we pass on by the crimson eye
of great god Mars
as we travel the universe

Hmm, guess you guys need a hint.. The leadsinger in this band has got a popular tv show going in the US.. The song was released back when he´s still a respectable musician.. Today, unfortunately, he´s ruined his image in all possible ways..

Where are you, Wilmot? You seem to know all the classics..

Had to search here, never really listened to Black Sabbath, it is Planet Caravan. Laudrup, the title for the Dire Straits song is "Your latest trick" only.

Now for another of my favourite artists.


God I feel like hell tonight
The tears of rage I cannot fight
I'd be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man..
Well, nothing's true, and nothing's right
So let me be alone tonight
'Cause you can't change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man..
Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave
I have a face I cannot show
I make the rules up as I go
Just try and love me if you can
Are you strong enough to be my man..
Are you strong enough to be my man..
Are you strong enough to be my man..
Are you strong enough to be my man..
When I've shown you That I just don't care
When I'm throwing punches in the air
When I'm broken down and I can't stand
Would you be man enough to be my man..
Lie to me, I promise I'll believe
Lie to me, but please don't leave

Never listened to Black Sabbath either Laudrup....although that clue really shook me off track. Ozzy Ozbourne was respectable? :p

Anyway, "Strong Enough" by Sheryl Crow

But of a cult hit this one....

'I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores
and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off
and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near'

Bird House in your Soul


Here is a classic one

Is this real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from realitiy
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

The Greatest Song ever.....Queen, 'Bohemian Rhapsody"

'.............................
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now'

Oh that one is Vincent by Don McLean. I've worked at many jobs where I've had to (been forced to) listen to light rock on the radio. You will not stump me with anything by The Carpenters, Dionne Warwick, Cat Stevens or any of those guys!

You keep saying you've got something for me
Something you call love, but confess,
You've been messing where you shouldn't be messing
And someone else is taking all your best...

You keep lying when you oughta be truthing
And you keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep saming when you oughta be changing
What's right is right, and you ain't been right yet...

You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burned, ha!
I found me a brand new box of matches, yeah,
And what he knows, you ain't had time to learn...

RIO

Nancy Sinatra - These boots are made for walking

---------------------

She's got eyes like Zapruder
And a mouth like heroin
She wants me to be perfect like Kennedy
This isn't god, this isn't god
God is just a statistic
God is just a statistic
Say "show me the dead stars
All of them sing."
This is a riot
Religious and clean

God is a number you cannot count to
You are posthuman and hardwired

She's pilgrim and pagan
Softworn and so-cial
In all of her dreams
She's a saint like Jackie O

This isn't god, this isn't god
God is just a statistic

Coma white: "All that glitters is cold, all that glitters is cold."

Marilyn Manson - Posthuman.. I´ve actually got friends who listen to this..


If you want to open your hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away
I didn't feel a thing
It didn't mean a thing
Look in the eye and testify:
I didn't feel a thing
Anything you say, we know you're guilty
Hands above your head,
and you won't even feel me
You won't feel me


Wilmot.. You shouldn´t ask me; I cannot provide you with an objective answer.. I´m pretty biased when it comes to Ozzy..:p As far as I´m concerned he´s not only respectable, he´s THE KING! What has happened to him today is almost tragic.. Perhaps there´s a reason so many rock musicians die young...... naah just kidding.

Faith no more - evidence

I love this song!

Dark in the city
night is a wire
Steam in the subway
earth is afire
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
dodo, dododo, dodo
Woman you want me
give me a sign
And catch my breathing
even closer behind
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do
dodo, dododo, dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound
I'm lost in a crowd......

i don't want to kiss or hold your hand..
if it's funny try to understand...
there is really nothing else i'd rather do
i'm so happy when you dance with me...


dance with you - the beatles
