My Mood:  | What are your Favorite Song Lyrics? Happy Friday Ya'll!  I have a friend who says you can tell a lot about a person by the music they listen to. So let me have peeking-ness into your soul…post excerpts of your favorite song lyrics. No rules except you have to post the artists name and the year it was released. Here is couple of my favs to start: If I could choose I’d calm this dawn But the storm Is ME Insensible and free… Now that you know I’ve come here, to go You’re suddenly sad you’ve been mine Oh how the lust For Love Is Blind Storm at Sunup Gino Vanelli, circa 1976 Hey yea I wanna SHOOP baby… Ummm, you're packed and you're stacked 'specially in the back Brother, wanna thank your mother for a butt like that (thanks, Mom) Can I get some fries with that shake-shake boobie? If looks could kill you would be an Uzi You're a shotgun - bang! What's up with that thang? I wanna know how does it hang? Straight up, wait up, hold up, Mr. Lover Like Prince said you're a sexy mutha... Well-a, I like 'em real wild, b-boy style by the mile Smooth black skin with a smile Bright as the sun, I wanna have some fun Come and gimme some of that yum-yum Chocolate chip, honey dip, can I get a scoop? (please) Baby, take a ride in my coupe, you make me wanna...  The Shoop Song Salt-n-Pepa, circa 1994

| Non! Rien de rien... Non! Je ne regrette rien Ni le bien Qu’on m’a fait, Ni le mal, Tout ça m’est bien égal! Non! Rien de rien... Non! C’est payé, Balayé, Oublié, Je me fous du passé! Avec me souvenirs J’ai allumé le feu, Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs, Je n’ai plus besoin d’eux! Balayé les amours, Avec leurs trémolos, Balayés pour toujours Je repars à zéro... Non! Rien de rien... Non! Je ne regrette rien Ni le bien Qu’on m’a fait, Ni le mal, Tout ça m’est bien égal! Non! Rien de rien... Non! Car ma vie, Car mes joies, Aujourd’hui, Ça commence avec toi!

My Mood:   | Sailing down, down the Styx again, Without you my love, I want to return but then, I see all my friends, they want me to join but then, They all melt away, without you alone. And the river's running through my veins. Lately she don't seem the same. And the blood keeps calling out my name. I pass by the sins, left by a different man, The tides brought them here, cast by a different hand. And the wisps of the winds, blow with the Styx again. Pushing me on, without you alone. And the river's running through my veins. Lately she don't seem the same. And the blood keeps calling out my name. And the river running down And the river running down And the river running down And the river... The Tea Party - The River, 1993 I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes Living proof of Churchill's lies I'm destiny I'm torn between the light and dark Where others see their targets Divine symmetry Should I kiss the viper's fang Or herald loud the death of Man I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore [CHORUS] Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release... David Bowie - Quicksand, 1971

 It's Edith Piaf! Non, je ne regrette rien I like a lot of French songs for the lyrics more than anything else, even though I only understand about 25% of them.  The French voice is just so musical and full of passion. | |

My Mood:  | You can't always get what you want! I saw her today at the reception A glass of wine in her hand I knew she would meet her connection At her feet was her footloose man No, you can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometime you find You get what you need We went down to the demonstration To get your fair share of abuse Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse" You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes well you just might find You get what you need I went down to the Chelsea drugstore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy And man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would have a soda My favorite flavor, cherry red I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead" I said to him You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You get what you need You get what you need--yeah, oh baby I saw her today at the reception In her glass was a bleeding man She was practiced at the art of deception Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes you just might find You just might find You get what you need

My Mood:   | It is the 31st century, Ulysses killed the giant Cyclops when he rescued the children and his son Telemachus. But the ancient gods of Olympus are angry and threaten a terrible revenge: Zeus: Mortals, you defy the Gods? I sentence you to travel among unknown stars. Until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.Sherka: Ulysses, the way back to earth has been wiped from my memory. Telemachus: Father, oh, father! Ulysses: You are alive my son. Ulysses, Ulysses, soaring through all the galaxies, in search of Earth, flying in to the night. Ulysses, Ulysses, fighting evil and tyranny, with all his power, and with all of his might. Ulysses, no-one else can do the things you do. Ulysses, like a bolt of thunder from the blue. Ulysses, always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all. It's me Nono small robot you know, friend of Ulysses. It's me Nono small robot you know, friend of Ulysses. Ulysses, no-one else can do the things you do. Ulysses, like a bolt of thunder from the blue. Ulysses, always fighting all the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all. It's me Nono small robot you know, friend of Ulysses. (repeat 4 times) Ulysses 31 theme.  |

may think there is, but there
is not.
| So SO many. I love many songs, with many song lyrics memorized (cause I sing them around the house and in the car alla time). But they are mostly Broadway or old fart songs, being as how I'm mostly an . . . well anyhow, this happens to be the very first one that just sprang to mind, when I read the title of this thread. Then again, I also dreamed a wonderful dream last night that I was Claudette Colbert marrying Cary Grant sometime back in the forties, so you can see right there, I'm a weird one. "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life" by lyrics by Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman and music written by Michel Legrand. It has been done by Tony Bennett (my fave), Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Dusty Springfield, Shirley Bassey, Johnny Mathis, and others: ----- I want to see your face in every kind of light In fields of dawn and forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make What are you doing the rest of your life? North and South and East and West of your life I have only one request of your life That you spend it all with me All the seasons and the times of your days All the nickels and the dimes of your days Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days All begin and end with me I want to see your face in every kind of light In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night And when you stand before the candles on a cake Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make Those tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes In the world of love that you keep in your eyes I'll awaken what's asleep in your eyes It may take a kiss or two Through all of my life Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life All I ever will recall of my life Is all of my life with you ----- But it is the MUSIC that really makes this song, though the lyrics are wonderful. I probably thought of it because of the dream I had last night; it just seems evocative of that dream. In the dream, I was even wearing one of those forties ladies suits, with the belt and peplum and all, and a corsage, when we got married. Then we had our honeymoon night. It was a good dream, I tell ya! coco P.S. I don't know that Claudette Colbert ever actually married Cary Grant in a movie.

My Mood: | It is the 16th century. From all over Europe great ships sale west to conquer the new world, the Americas. These men eager to seek their fortune, to find new adventures in new lands. They long to cross uncharted seas and discover unknown countries. To find secret gold on a mountain trail high in the Andes. They dream of following the path of the setting sun that leads to Elderado, and the Mysterious Cities Of Gold. Children of the Sun, See your time has just begun, Searching for your way Thru Adventures every day Every day and night With the condor in flight With all your friends in tow We search for the Cities of Gold Chorus: Ahhhh-ah-ah-ah Wishing for the Cities of Go-old Ahhh-ah-ah-ah Someday we will find The Cities of Gold Doo doo doo do doo Ahh-ah-ah Doo doo doo do doo Cities of Gold Children of the Sun Someday soon you're gonna find That your destiny Holds the secret, holds the key Chorus: Ahhhh-ah-ah-ah Wishing for the Cities of Go-old Ahhh-ah-ah-ah Someday we will find The Cities of Go-oo-oo-old! Doo doo doo do doo Ahh-ah-ah Doo doo doo do doo Cities of Gold Doo doo doo do doo Cities of Gold Ahhh-ah-ah-ah Someday we will find The Cities of Go-oo-oo-old! The Mysterious cities of gold |

| Oh, this one, too: Climbing up on Solsbury Hill I could see the city light Wind was blowing, time stood still Eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe Came in close I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve I had to listen had no choice I did not believe the information Just had to trust imagination My heart going boom-boom-boom Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home To keep in silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Oh, my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery I'd walk right out of the machinery My heart going boom-boom-boom Hey, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home Eh, back home When illusion spin her net I'm never where I want to be And liberty, she'd pirhouette When I think that I am free Watched by empty silhouettes Who close their eyes but still can see No one taught them etiquette I will show another me Today I don't need a replacement I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant My heart going boom-boom-boom Hey, I said, you can keep my things They've come to take me home - Solsbury Hill, Peter Gabriel |

My Mood:  | And the men who hold high places Must be the ones to start To mold a new reality Closer to the heart The blacksmith and the artist Reflect it in their art They forge their creativity Closer to the heart Philosophers and ploughmen Each must know his part To sow a new mentality Closer to the heart You can be the captain I will draw the chart Sailing into destiny Closer to the heart |

Can I play with your land?
| Always loved Becks Loser if were talking about lyrics only here. My favorite line in the whole thing is Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park At the time this came out I was a teenager living in a trailer park and just thought that was a fun line to sing. In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat Someone came in sayin’ I’m insane to complain About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Don’t believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park Yo. cut it. Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (double barrel buckshot) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber ’cuz one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job The daytime crap of the folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hangin’ from a pigeon wing You can’t write if you can’t relate Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite who's chokin’ on the splinters Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (get crazy with the cheese whiz) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (drive-by body-pierce) (yo bring it on down) Soooooaaaar.... ?em llik uoy t'nod yhw os ,ybab resol a m'I adanaC revo raoS [You can hear hear it if you reverse it.] (I’m a driver, I’m a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (I can’t believe you) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (Nlehh...) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (Sprechen Sie Deutsch hier, Baby!) Soy un perdedor I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me? (know what I’m sayin’? ) |

| In Nine Inch Nails closer, I love the part where he kinda whispers this in the back round. through every forest, above the trees within my stomach, scraped off my knees I drink the honey inside your hive you are the reason I stay alive |
