    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    They call me The Wild Rose
    But my name was Elisa Day
    Why they call me it I do not know
    For my name was Elisa Day

    From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
    She stared in my eyes and smiled
    For her lips were the colour of the roses
    That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

    When he knocked on my door and entered the room
    My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
    He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
    He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

    On the second day I brought her a flower
    She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
    I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
    So sweet and scarlet and free?"

    On the second day he came with a single red rose
    He said "Give me your loss and your sorrow"
    I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
    "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"

    On the third day he took me to the river
    He showed me the roses and we kissed
    And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
    As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist

    On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
    And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
    And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
    And lent down and planted a rose tween her teeth

    Really don't think I need to name this one, do I?

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono wearing bracelets of smoke
    Naked of understanding
    Nicotine smears, long, long dried tears, invisible tears
    Safe in my own words, learning from my own words
    Cruel joke, cruel joke

    Huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono a morning mare rides
    In the starless shutters of my eyes
    The spirit of a misplaced childhood is rising to speak his mind
    To this orphan of heartbreak, disillusioned and scarred
    A refugee, refugee

    (thanks to the word association thread for putting this song in my head!)

    Tain't No Sin, Words by Edgar Leslie, Music by Walter Donaldson

    Dancing may do this and that, and help you take off lots of fat.
    But I'm no friend of dancing when it's hot.
    So if you are a dancing fool, who loves to dance but can't keep cool,
    Bear in mind the idea that I've got.

    When it gets too hot for comfort
    and you can't get ice cream cones,
    Tain't no sin
    to take off your skin
    and dance around in your bones.

    When the lazy syncopation of the music softly moans,
    Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

    The polar bears aren't green up in Greenland, they've got the right idea.
    They think it's great to refrigerate while we all cremate down here.
    Just be like those Bamboo Babies, in the South Sea tropic zones,
    Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.


    When you're calling up your sweetie in those hot house telephones,
    Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.
    When you're on a crowded dance floor, near those red hot saxophones,
    Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

    Just take a look at the girls while they're dancing.
    Notice the way that they're dressed.
    They wear silken clothes without any hose
    and nobody knows the rest.
    If a gal wears X-ray dresses, and shows everything she owns,
    Tain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

    version by Chris Barber and Ottilie Patterson is very danceable.

    That's just what I thought when I read them, surely lyrics that good couldn't be from Bon Jovi?

    It would appear so!
    They're from "Keeping The Faith" (yes, by Bon Jovi) I'm ashamed to admit I have about 40 Bon Jovi tracks, but I don't know that one at all.

    I need you you you
    I need you you you In the morning
    I need you you you When my soul's on fire


    Sometimes I feel
    I feel a little sad inside
    When my baby mistreats me
    I never never never have a place to hide
    I need you

    When you were here before
    couldn't look you in the eye
    ...face like an angel
    ...skin makes me cry

    ...

    I wish I was special
    you're so f()cking special...
    but I'm a creep
    I'm a weirdo
    what the hell am I doing here?
    I don't belong here...

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    I had dream we went away
    left the city for a day
    you took me on southwards a plane and showed me Spain or somewhere

    - but in reality, you're not so keen to show me anything
    ...and I thought you liked me

    Hey - show some love!
    you ain't so tuff
    come fill my little world right up
    someday you're going to realise...

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Like a flash of light in an endless night
    Life is trapped between two black entities
    'Cause when you trust someone
    Illusion has begun
    No way to prepare
    Impending despair

    Did one say so cruel
    'Tis better to love than lose
    Ignorance is bliss
    Wish not knew your kiss
    So many times been burned
    This lesson goes unlearned
    Remember desire only fuels the fire
    Liar!

    Betwixed birth and death
    Every breath regret
    I pity the living
    Envy for the dead
    Emotionally stunned
    In defense - I'm numb
    I'd rather not care then to be aware
    Be scared

    I don't need love

    Are a thousand tears worth a single smile?
    When you give an inch, will they take a mile?
    Longing for the past but dreading the future
    If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser

    World renowned failure at both death and life
    Given nothingness, purgatory blight
    To run and hide, a cowardly procedure
    Options exhausted, except for anesthesia
    Anesthesia

    I don't feel anything

    Type O Negative - Anesthesia

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
    Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I dont get hurt
    Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
    Because of you I am afraid

    I lose my way and its not too long before you point it out
    I cannot cry because you know thats weakness in your eyes
    Im forced to fake a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life
    My heart cant possibly break, when it wasnt even whole to start with

    I watched you die, I heard you cry, every night in your sleep
    I was so young you should have known better than to lean on me
    You never thought of anyone else you just saw your pain
    and now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing...

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Ok this just turned up on my MP3 player random play.

    Since i'm interested in baking I thought it quite apt

    Two Tablespoons of cinnamon, and 2 or 3 eggwhites
    A-Half a stick of butter, meeeelted..
    Stick it all in a bowl baby, Stir it with a wooden spoon
    Mix in a Cup of Flour, you'll be in heaven soon
    Say everybody have you seen my balls?
    They're big and salty and brown
    If you ever need a quick Pick-me-up
    Just stick my balls in your mouth!
    Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls,
    Stick em in your mouth and suck em!
    Suck on my Chocolate Salty balls
    They're packed full of vitamins, and good for you,
    So suck on My balls!

    Quarter cup of unsweeted chocolate, and half cup of brandy
    Then throw in a bag or two of sugar, and just a pinch of vanilla
    Grease up the cookiesheet, cos I hate when my balls stick
    Then Preheat the oven to 350°(tree-fitty), and give that spoon a lick
    Say everybody have you seen my balls?
    They're big and salty and brown
    If you ever need a quick Pick-me-up
    Just stick my balls in your mouth...
    Ooh, Suck on my chocolate salty balls
    Stick em in your mouth and suck em!
    Suck on my Chocolate Salty balls
    they're packed full of goodness, high in Fiber
    Suck on My balls!

    [sniff sniff] Hey, wait a minute, what's that smell?
    Smells like something burning
    Well, that don't confront me none
    As long as I get my rent paid on the Friday.
    Baby you'd better get back in the Kitchen..
    Cos i've gotta Sneaking Suspicion..
    Oh man baby, baby! You just burnt my balls!

    Someone help me, my balls are on fire!
    Get some ice baby! My balls are Burning!
    Give some water, pour some water on me!
    My Balls are burning!
    Oh my goodness, Blow on em, Blow on em, do something!
    Ooh, suck on my chocolate salty balls
    Put em in your mouth and suck em!
    Suck on my Chocolate Salty balls
    Put em out baby, Blow em!
    Suck on my balls, baby! Suck on my balls Baby!
    Suck on my red hot, salty, chocolate balls
    Put em out baby, hoo, hoo
    Suck on my balls...


    It's OBVIOUSLY a recipe in the form of song

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Mr Beowulf will have no trouble recognising this tender love song.

    I hold your hand in mine, dear. I bring it to my lips.
    I take a healthy bite from your dainty fingertips...

    My joy would be complete dear, if you were only here.
    But still I keep your hand as a precious souvenir.

    The night you died, I cut it off. I really don't know why.
    For each time that I kiss it, I get bloodstains on my tie....

    I'm sorry now I killed you, for our love was something fine.
    But 'till they come to get me, I will hold your hand in mine.

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    As promised, some of my favourite lyrics from Avenue Q, to give you an idea...

    It Sucks to be Me:


    "What do you do with a BA in English?
    What is my life going to be?
    Four years of college and plenty of knowledge
    Have earnt me this useless degree.
    I can't pay the bills yet, cos I have no skills yet
    The world is a big scary place
    But somehow I can't shake the feeling I might make
    A difference to the human race."

    "You do such anal things as ironing your underwear"

    "I come into this country for opportunities,
    Try to work in Chinese restaurants but I am Japanese"

    "This is real life"
    "You're gonna love it "

    Everyone's a Little Bit Racist:

    "What you talking about Kate? You were telling a black joke!"
    "Well sure Gary, but lots of people tell black jokes"
    "I don't."
    "Of course you don't, you're black! But I bet you tell Polish jokes, right?"
    "Well sure I do, those stupid Polish."

    "Bigotry has never been exclusively white
    If we all could just admit
    That we are racist, a little bit
    Maybe it would help us get along."

    Mix Tape

    "He likes me, I think he likes me
    But does he like me like me, like I like him?"

    "Do you mind if I use your bathroom"
    ...a little later
    "You might wanna not go in there for a while..."

    There is Life Outside Your Apartment:

    "There's a girl passing by..."
    "No I think it's a guy."

    The More You Ruv Someone:

    "Love"
    "Love"
    "And hate"
    "And hate"
    "They like two brothers"
    "Brothers"
    "Who go on a date"
    "Who... what?"
    "Where one of them goes,
    Other one follows
    You inviting love
    He also bringing sorrows"
    "Ah, yes"

    Schadenfreude:

    "The world needs people like you and me
    Who've been knocked around by fate.
    'Cause when people see us, they don't want to be us,
    And that makes them feel great."

    For Now:

    "For now we're healthy.
    For now we're employed.
    For now we're happy
    If not overjoyed.
    And we'll accept the things we cannot avoid
    For now..."

    "Don't stress, relax,
    Let life roll off your backs
    Except for death and paying taxes,
    Everything in life is only for now!"
