    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    A soldier came knocking upon the queen's door.
    He said, "I am not fighting for you any more".
    Well the queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before,
    and slowly she let him inside.

    He said, "I've watched your palace up here on the hill,
    and I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill,
    but I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will,
    only first I am asking you, why?"

    Down in the long narrow hall he was led,
    into her rooms with her tapestries red,
    and she never once took the crown from her head.
    She asked him there to sit down.

    He said, "I see you now, and you are so very young,
    but I have seen more battles lost than I have battles won,
    and I have got this intuition, says it's all for your fun.
    So now will you tell me, why?"

    The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye.
    She said, "You won't understand, and you may as well not try"
    But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry,
    and she closed herself up like a fan.

    She said, "I have swallowed a secret burning thread.
    It cuts me inside, and often I've bled"
    He laid his hand then on top of her head,
    and he bowed her down to the ground.

    "Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel,
    as you are living here alone, and you are never revealed.
    But I won't march again on your battlefield"
    And he took her to the window to see.

    The sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was grey,
    and she wanted more than she ever could say;
    but she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away,
    and would not look at his face again.

    He said, "I want to live as an honest man.
    To get all I deserve and to give all I can,
    and to love a young woman who I don't understand.
    Your highness, your ways are very strange."

    But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break,
    and she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached.
    She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait;
    She would only be a moment inside. . . .


    Out in the distance her order was heard,
    and the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word.
    Then while the queen went on strangling in the solitude she preferred,
    the battle continued on

    Suzanne Vega “The Queen and The Soldier”

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Ive been alone with you inside my mind
    And in my dreams Ive kissed your lips
    A thousand times
    I sometimes see you pass outside my door
    Hello, is it me your looking for...

    I can see it in your eyes
    I can see it in your smile
    Youre all Ive ever wanted
    And my arms are open wide

    Cause you know just what to say
    And you know just what to do
    And I want to tell you so much
    I love you

    I long to see the sunlight in your hair
    And tell you time and time again how much i care
    Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
    Hello, Ive just got to let you know

    Cause I wonder where you are
    And I wonder what you do
    Are you somewhere feeling lonely
    Or is someone loving you?

    Tell me how to win your heart
    For I havent got a clue
    But let me start by saying
    I love you....

    etc., etc.,

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Mmm, you take me as I am
    Mister, there's a little red devil on my shoe
    And you always stay real strong
    You can take the rough with the smooth
    And I know that we forget what we mean to say
    Too proud sometimes
    But I guess we're only human
    Inside

    Coz we are indestructible
    Yes we are
    And you are my lifeline and
    We are indestructible
    Yes we are

    My dreams, they've got to kissin, because I dont get sleep, no..

    Windmill, Windmill for the land,
    Turn forever hand in hand,
    Take it all in on your stride,

    Love forever love is free,
    Let's turn forever you and me

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    I'm out here, by myself.
    All alone.
    Ready to blow my head off.
    I hurt so bad inside.
    I wish you could see the world through my eyes.
    Each day is the same
    I just wanna laugh again...

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Many, many years ago I went to a folk night at the Blue Anchor in South Croydon. The singer introduced a lady that had just come from the USA. She was a very attractive slim blonde, with a face that knew the wind and the sun, and more than her years should know. I watched her, transfixed, all night. Apparently she had the same effect on the singer, because he started an affair with her. Eventually she had a "What am I doing with a married man about twice my age" moment, and returned to the States. He was unable to follow her. Commie folk singers were not welcome. Instead he pleaded with her on the phone, promising to leave his wife. He also sang her a song he had written for her.:-

    The first time ever I saw your face
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
    And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
    To the night and the empty skies my love
    To the night and the empty skies

    The first time ever I kissed your mouth
    I felt the earth turn in my hand
    Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
    That was there at my command my love
    That was there at my command

    The first time ever I lay with you
    And felt your heart beat close to mine
    I thought our joy would fill the earth
    And would last til the end of time my love
    And would last til the end of time

    The first time ever I saw your face
    I thought the sun rose in your eyes
    And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
    To the night and the empty skies my love
    To the night and the empty skies
    Ewan MacColl - the lady was Peggy Seegar, and they stayed together until he died.

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
    And we're sitting here playing so cool, thinking "What will be, will be"
    But it's getting kind of late now
    Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
    Or will you just politely say goodnight?

    I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
    And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs, I spill my tea, oh silly me!
    But it's getting kind of late now
    I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
    Or will you just politely say goodnight?

    And then we touch much too much
    This moment has been waiting for a long long time
    Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
    This moment I'm so unsure
    This moment I've waited for
    Is it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?

    Take off your eyes, bare your soul
    Gather me to you and make me whole
    Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
    Sing it to me in the silent tongue
    But it's getting kind of late now
    I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
    Or will you just politely say goodnight?

    Everybody's looking for that something
    One thing that makes it all complete
    You'll find it in the strangest places
    Places you never knew it could be

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    A winters day
    In a deep and dark december;
    I am alone,
    Gazing from my window to the streets below
    On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.
    Ive built walls,
    A fortress deep and mighty,
    That none may penetrate.
    I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
    Its laughter and its loving I disdain.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    Dont talk of love,
    But Ive heard the words before;
    Its sleeping in my memory.
    I wont disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
    If I never loved I never would have cried.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    I have my books
    And my poetry to protect me;
    I am shielded in my armor,
    Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
    I touch no one and no one touches me.
    I am a rock,
    I am an island.

    And a rock feels no pain;
    And an island never cries

    I think I'm a clone now
    There's always two of me just a-hangin' around
    I think I'm a clone now
    'Cause every chromosome is a hand-me-down

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Sometimes I feel
    Like I don't have a partner
    Sometimes I feel
    Like my only friend
    Is the city I live in
    The city of Angels
    Lonely as I am
    Together we cry

    I drive on her streets
    'Cause she's my companion
    I walk through her hills
    'Cause she knows who I am
    She sees my good deeds and
    She kisses the winded and
    I never worry
    Now that is a lie

    I don't ever wanna feel
    Like I did that day
    Take me to the place I love
    Take me all the way
    I don't ever want to feel
    Like I did that day
    Take me to the place I love
    Take me all that way

    It's hard to believe
    That there's nobody out there
    It's hard to believe
    That I'm all alone
    At least I have her love
    The city she loves me
    Lonely as I am
    Together we cry

    I don't ever wanna feel
    Like I did that day
    Take me to the place I love
    Take me all the way
    I don't ever want to feel
    Like I did that day
    Take me to the place I love
    Take me all the way
    Ooh no
    Love me I say

    Under the bridge downtown
    Is were I drew some blood
    Under the bridge downtown
    I could not get enough
    Under the bridge downtown
    Forgot about my love
    Under the bridge downtown
    I gave my life away
    Ooh no
    Where I stay

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    As I walk away
    I look over my shoulder
    To see what I'm leaving behind
    Pieces of puzzles
    And wishes on eyelashes fail

    Oh, how do I show
    All the love inside my heart
    for this is all new
    And I'm feeling my way through the dark

    I used to talk
    With honest conviction
    Of how I predicted my world
    Gonna leave it to stargazers
    Tell me what your telescope says

    Oh, what is in store for me now
    Its coming apart
    For this is all new
    And I'm feeling my way through the dark

    Trying to find a light on somewhere
    Trying to find a light on somewhere
    I'm finding I'm falling
    In love with the dark over here

    Oh, what do I know, I dont care
    Where I start
    for my troubles are few
    As I'm feeling my way through the dark
    Through the dark
    Yes I'm feeling my way through the dark

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    As far as my eyes can see
    There are shadows approaching me
    And to those I left behind
    I wanted you to know
    You've always shared my deepest thoughts
    You follow where I go
    And oh when I'm old and wise
    Bitter words mean little to me
    Autumn winds will blow right through me
    And someday in the mist of time
    When they asked me if I knew you
    I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine
    And the sadness would be lifted from my eyes
    Oh when I'm old and wise
    As far as my eyes can see
    There are shadows surrounding me
    And to those I leave behind
    I want you all to know
    You've always shared my darkest hours
    I'll miss you when I go
    And oh, when I'm old and wise
    Heavy words that tossed and blew me
    Like autumn winds will blow right through me
    And someday in the mist of time
    When they ask you if you knew me
    Remember that you were a friend of mine
    As the final curtain falls before my eyes
    Oh when I'm old and wise
    As far as my eyes can see

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    Animals don’t have a choice. If they’re not happy with their place in the world... too bad.
    They have to live the life they’ve been given.
    Humans, on the other hand, don’t have to.
    We have a choice.
    If you don’t like your place in the world, you can get off anytime you want.
    Suicide. That’s right.
    You don’t like the way your life’s going,
    you don’t like the way you are in the world,
    anything around you, you can check out anytime you like.
    Animals aren’t allowed that thought
    and believe me, if they were, they would use it.
    There’d be a lot of dogs and cats, owned by assholes
    that live in high-rises, diving out the windows.
    Zebras... if they even had remotely that thought
    would take a look at themselves and go, “What the F*#K!”
    Black & white in a green & brown world... this blows.
    I’m just gonna jump in the river....
    I don’t have a thumb to work a gun or hold a knife
    or even open a jar of pills.
    I’m just gonna dive into the next lion’s mouth.
    Why even bother?”
    Now, monkeys have the opposable thumb
    so they could kinda do it the exact same way we do.
    Now, there’s a bunch of people that say,
    “Oh, it’s against the law”.
    Well, it’s only against the law if you do a crappy job and get caught.
    Other people say, “Oh, we should save them”.
    Yeah, well you know what?
    Not everybody wants to be saved.
    Not everybody should be saved.
    And who are we to force our will upon them?
    I mean, isn’t that one of the joys about being a human?
    Freedom of choice?
    Now, it’s not all bad.
    Now, I’m not saying “Kill yourself”.
    But if you’re gonna be an idiot and do it anyway,
    it’s no sweat off of my back.
    There’s a lot of good that could come from it.
    A little bit of bad thrown in.

    Some of the things:
    A job will open...
    An apartment will become available...
    There’ll be more air for me...
    They say there’s two girls for every guy - if you’re a man, there’ll be four chicks for me...
    There’ll be more Ketel One vodka for me...
    There’ll be one less idiot in line at the bank who gets up to the window without their F*#King slips filled out...
    I won’t ever have to go to the store to buy my favorite Salt & Vinegar Chips
    and have the clerk point at you and say, “They bought the last bag”....
    You won’t help change the McDonald’s sign to a Hundred Billion Served...
    You’ll never get AIDS...
    You won’t have to worry about calories ever...
    No more, “Hey, does this make me look fat?”...
    There’ll be one less polluting human...
    You won’t have to recycle... There’ll be one less car on the road...
    There’ll be more Ring Dings for me...
    Fifty or so chickens’ lives will be spared...
    Your fingers won’t ever get red from eating pistachios...
    You won’t be forced to visit your Grandparents on Sundays anymore...
    No more church...
    You’ll be saying, “Hey, World - Kiss My Ass!”...
    No more wet dreams about Supermodels...
    No more Barry Manilow... Not for a few years anyway...
    Wondering “Am I a loser?” will be a thing of the past...
    Say good-bye to crappy Xmas presents from Aunts and Uncles...
    You won’t have to suffer through a Motley Crue reunion...
    F*#K flossing and brushing...
    You’ll never lose sleep over a pregnancy scare...
    Adios, Acne...
    Worrying whether you fit in or not won’t be on your brain...
    See ya later, homework...
    You’ll never have to sit through another movie brought to you by the creators of South Park...
    School’s out forever....
    No more paying bills...
    You won’t have to do chores...

    You won’t be able to run over toads with the lawnmower though...
    You’ll also miss McDonald’s French Fries...
    Bugs Bunny...
    The amazing electrifying feeling that surges through your body when you kiss someone for the first time...
    You won’t be able to watch the letterbox director’s cut of Jaws...
    Candy...
    Living above ground...
    Pudding crust...
    You’ll miss the rush of getting your first apartment...
    Getting to the point in your life where you can tell your parents to
    “F*#K Off! I gotta make my own mistakes, you did”...
    You’ll miss sex - you’ll miss thinking about it, looking for it,
    sex by yourself, sex with a partner, sex with multiple partners...
    No more summer nights that seem to go on forever... Roller coasters....
    Naming your kid the name you always wanted...
    Making a difference in the world...
    You’ll miss the experience and pleasure of Hallucinogenics...
    Watching your neighbor’s wife change clothes with her blinds open...
    A lifetime of masturbating...
    Watching your favorite team sweep the series...
    Music, you will definitely miss music...
    Trying to sneak into your house drunk - three hours past your curfew...
    You’ll miss the blaze and glory of the 4th of July fireworks...
    The taste of Captain Crunch...
    If you’re a boy, you’ll miss the feeling the first time you reach up a girl’s shirt...
    If you’re a girl, the feeling the first time you reach down a boy’s pants...
    You’ll miss your favorite coat...
    Waffles with whipped cream and strawberries...
    Beating your friends at video games...
    You won’t be around to see what shape and color the new marshmallow in Lucky Charms will be...
    You’ll miss the feeling you get when reminiscing about your first love - thirty years after the fact...
    The joy of giving and receiving at Christmas...
    Skinny dipping...
    Getting stoned, reading Green Eggs & Ham, and eating like a horse that got loose in the grain bin...
    Flying cars...
    Hey, you were born, finish what you started!

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    I wait for you
    I don't know why
    all I know is I can't hide.
    at this temperature you could take over my mind
    like gossamer, you softly touch.
    he draws me in, I'm powerless.
    he possesses an enchantment.

    tell me I'm forgiven.
    he calls, dont know how I fell under his spell.
    lately I've been driven, he smiles, an enchantment
    I wait for you.
    I'm mesmerised, this love is like a potion in disguise.
    I'd tightrope walk with a blindfold on my eyes.
    I can't escape, or so it seems.
    I'd run away, he's in my dreams.
    he possesses an enchantment.

    tell me I'm forgiven.
    he calls, dont know how I fell under his spell.
    lately Ive been driven.
    he smiles, an enchantment.
    it's the kind of sleepwalk that never ends.
    a type of loan with no dividends.
    it's a parlour game where youre giving chase.
    guess it could be called an acquired taste.
    I know, he knows, he calls, I go, I know.
    this could be an enchantment.

    why don't you tell me I'm forgiven?
    he calls, don't know how I fell under his spell.
    I'm forgiven... lately I've been driven.
    he smiles and I give in.
    - an enchantment.

    Re: Lyrical Moments...

    When you're down and troubled
    and you need a helping hand
    and nothing, no nothing is going right.
    Close your eyes and think of me
    and soon I will be there
    to brighten up even your darkest nights.

    You just call out my name,
    and you know whereever I am
    I'll come running,
    to see you again.
    Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
    all you have to do is call
    and I'll be there, yes I will.
    You've got a friend.

    Move yourself
    You always live your life
    Never thinking of the future
    Prove yourself
    You are the move you make
    Take your chances win or loser

    See yourself
    You are the steps you take
    You and you - and that's the only way

    Shake - shake yourself
    You're every move you make
    So the story goes

    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Much better than - a
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart

    Say - you don't want to chance it
    You've been hurt so before

    Watch it now
    The eagle in the sky
    How he dancin' one and only
    You - lose yourself
    No not for pity's sake
    There's no real reason to be lonely
    Be yourself
    Give your free will a chance
    You've got to want to succeed

    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Much better than - a
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart

    Owner of a lonely heart

    After my own decision
    They confused me so
    My love said never question your will at all
    In the end you've got to go
    Look before you leap
    And don't you hesitate at all - no no
    Owner of a lonely heart

    Owner of a lonely heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    Much better than - a
    Owner of a broken heart
    Owner of a lonely heart
    (repeat)

    Owner of a lonely heart

    Sooner or later each conclusion
    Will decide the lonely heart
    It will excite it will delight
    It will give a better start

    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Don't deceive your free will at all
    Just receive it

    I hope all my days will be lit by your face
    I hope all the years will hold tight our promises
    I dont want to be old and sleep alone
    An empty house is not a home
    I dont want to be old and feel afraid

    I dont want to be old and sleep alone
    An empty house is not a home
    I dont want to be old and feel afraid

    And If I need anything at all
    I need a place thats hidden in the deep
    Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep
    Though all the world is broken
    I need a place where I can make my bed
    A lovers lap where I can lay my head
    Because the room is spinning
    The day is beginning..
