One of my all time favorites:
"Bohemian Rhapsody"
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality.
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.
What's yours ? |

Loads of lyrics I love, I am listening to Razorlight- Somewhere else at the moment....And when I saw you there it was the first time
And you just walked on by
I was catching the sparks that flew from your heels
And trying to catch your eye
Love it... |

These ones always make me smile. It's my mum and dads song to each other and they still sing it to each other.
She don't like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin' her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter Bunny
She's my baby I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go
He ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
I caught him once and he was sniffin' my undies
He ain't too sharp but he gets things done
Drinks his beer like it's oxygen
He's my baby
And I'm his honey
Never gonna let him go
In spite of ourselves
We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes. |

Nothing is going to be more moving than Strange Fruit
However, for what is deemed a throwaway song, these lines are songwritting belters,,
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest |

Bruce Springsteen - The River
Then i got Mary pregnant
man that was all she wrote
and for 19th birthday
i got a union card and a wedding coat
we went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
no wedding day smiles
or walk down the aisles
no flowers no wedding dress.
not sure if its the best it is damn good in my opinion |

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back to the long and winding road
You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door
The Beatles - Long and Winding Road
Always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up |

did i ask too much
more than a lot
you gave me nothing
now its all i got
were one
but were not the same
well we
hurt each other
then we do it again
you say
love is a temple
love a higher law
love is a temple
love a higher law
you ask me to enter
but then you make me crawl
and i can't be holding on
to what you got
when all you got is hurt
one love
one blood
one life
you got to do what you should
one - U2 |

crazy skies all wild above me now
winter howling at my face
and everything i held so dear
disappeared without a trace
oh all the times I've tasted love
never knew quite what i had
little darling if you hear me now
never needed you so bad
spinning round inside my head
sail away with me honey
i put my heart in your hands
sail away with me honey now now now
sail away with me
what will be will be
i wanna hold you now
David Gray - Sail away

I never thought it would happen
With me and the girl from clapham
Out on a windy common
That night I ain't forgotten
When she dealt out the rations
With some or other passions
I said you are a lady
Perhaps she said I may be
We moved into a basement
With thoughts of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissing
The railway arms we're missing
But love had got us hooked up
And all our time it took up
I got a job with stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And started me on monday
So I had a bath on sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her
I worked all through the winter
The weather brass and bitter
I put away a tenner
Each week to make her better
And when the time was ready
We had to sell the telly
Late evenings by the fire
With little kicks inside her
This morning at 4:50
I took her rather nifty
Down to an incubator
Where thirty minutes later
She gave birth to a daughter
Within a year a walker
She looked just like her mother
If there could be another
And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She left me when my drinking
Became a proper stinging
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the telly
No more nights nappies smelling
Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's something missing
I'd beg for some forgiveness
But begging's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction |

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mommy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

I'm not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic
of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

dance puppet boy if you do a good job
then we'll want you again give it all that you've got
show them the joy
and the pain
and the ending
then do it again and well all start pretending
to pay more attention to what's aforementioned
as you nod your head coz you're not even listening
a very small few of you even get meaning
so laugh clown boy laugh
coz it's always so pleasing |

Songwriters: BARLOW, GARY
Put your head against my life
What do you hear
A million words just trying to make
The love song of the year
Close your eyes but don't forget
What you have heard
A man who's trying to say three words
The words that make me scared
A million love songs later
And here I am trying to tell you that I care
A million love songs later
And here I am . |

You're a little bit of J-Lo
A little bit of Kim Kardashian
It's big, it ain't tiny, I'm diggin' that hiney
It's a classy one
Might be a bullshitter
But I ain't no ass kisser
'Least I've never been one before
But if there's anybody's ass I'd kiss
I'd want it to be yours |

One of my faves:
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
By some people who withdraw to find their head
And they say that there's no humor in misfortune
No, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see
If there ain't nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die? |

People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.
People walk a tightrope on a razors edge.
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen,
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence.
There ain't no reason things are this way.
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway.
Prison walls still standing tall.
Some things never change at all.
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all.
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all.
The wind blows wild and I may move.
But politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit,
To argue the truth.
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go,
Love I try to follow.
Love will come set me free...
Another song that makes me feel that I need to do more for others....and not distract myself with love, life and its trappings |

Well your didn't wake up this morning
Cause you didn't go to bed
Your were watching the whites of your eyes turn red
The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off
You've been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you've changed
All the money in the world couldn't buy back those days
You pull back the curtains and the sun burns into your eyes
You watch a plane flying across the clear blue sky
This is the day your life will surely change
This is the day when things fall into place
You could've done anything if you had wanted
And all your friends and family think that your lucky
But the side of you that they'll never see
Is when your left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like glue.
This is the day : The The |

I would give you the stars in the sky
But they're too far away
If you were a hooker, you'd know
I'd be happy to pay
If suddenly you were a guy
I'd be suddenly gay
'Cause my heart belongs to you
My love is pure and true
My heart belongs to you
But my cock is community property
You're the only girl that I like to screw
When I'm not on the road
When I come home, my dinner's made
And the front lawn is mowed
I'll kiss your mouth
Even after my rocket explodes
'Cause my heart belongs to you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do for you
My heart belongs to you
But my cock is community property
I wanna make it clear
So you retain it
My dick's a free spirit
And you can't restrain it
No, you just can't chain it down
I love you so much it hurts
From my head to my feet
I think of you and my crotch
Starts to move to the beat
I see your face every time
That I go out and cheat
'Cause my heart belongs to you
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
My heart belongs to you
But my dong is community property
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No, no, no (Community property)
Oh no, no, no (Community property)
Woah (Community property)

One night (one night), one night in heaven. When you touch me
You take me up high with the clouds in the sky.
One night (one night), one night in heaven. When you kiss me
You light up my life, make me feel so alive.
While people create problems, lie cheat in vain,
Come lay with me in my bed and wash away the pain.
Take me on a journey let the pleasure start. |

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
No, I can't forget tomorrorow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give any more
Can't live if living is without you
I can't give, I can't give any more
No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows
Can't live if living is without you
I can't live, I can't give anymore
I can't live if living is without you
Can't live, I can't give anymore

It's not important for you to know my name,nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me
And what you give is what you get
It doesnt matter if we never meet again
What we have said will always remain
If we get through for two minute only
It will be a start!
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you
If I never ever see you again
-and hat you give is what you get

Just want someone to sing to
Someone to write about
Someone to cling to
Someone I can't live without
Somone to hold
Someone who will hold me back
Someone I can show
All the love I have
Just want someone to walk with
At midnight on the beach
Someone to lay with
When I'm helpless, tired and weak
Someone to trust
Someone who will trust me back
Someone who knows
All the love I have
Just want someone to talk to
When life just isn't fair
Someone who'll be there
When less is what I could care
Someone who'll make
My darkness bright
Someone who'll say I do
And I do too
I got nothin' but love for you babe
I got nothin' but love for you babe
repeat
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you babe
I got nothin' but love, love, love, love for you
I got nothin' but love for ya babe
repeat

As someone who suffers badly from depression at times, As my anger shout's at my own self doubt,so a sadness creeps into my dreams, When your scared of living,but afraid to die,i get scared of giving and I must find the faith to beat it,Above the cloud's,what's to be found,I have to wonder will I be around?.

Cat Srevens....How Can I Tell You.... heres a taster..
But I can't think of right words to say
I long to tell you that I'm always thinking of you
I'm always thinking of you, but my words
Just blow away, just blow away
It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I can't think of right words to say
Wherever I am girl, I'm always walking with you
I'm always walking with you, but I look and you're not there
Whoever I'm with, I'm always, always talking to you
I'm always talking to you, and I'm sad that
You can't hear, sad that you can't hear
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there
I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore
And -- each night and day I pray, in hope
That I might find you, in hope that I might
Find you, because heart's can do no more
It always ends up to one thing honey, still I kneel upon the floor
How can I tell you that I love you, I love you

Springsteen.. Thunder Road, Born to Run or the River.. Hits the spot
Bernie Taupin doesn't get the credit he deserves for all the Elton John tracks.
As mentioned before Jimmy Webb is an outstanding songwriter (and wrote a great book on now to do it)
Now the Stones, they never published the lyrics to the tracks because they really aren't poetry or stand alone.. But they fit the track..
"flea bit peanut monkey, all are friends are junkies" is a bit pants.. But John Lennon couldn't have come up its the riff. Or the way the lyric fits..
I will come back to my original ..
JJ Cale, so good Clapton, Lynyrd Skynyrd etc all covered his songs

Billy Joel....
Scenes from an Italian restaurant
A bottle of white, a bottle of red,
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead.
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place
You and I - face to face hm, hm
A bottle of red, a bottle of white
It all depends upon your appetite
I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant.
