Do you ever listen to the words?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Check this opening verse from a big hit...gotta love it 
She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me

"Billy Joel: the bloke who divorced Christie Brinkley. Which just goes to show one man's bread is another man's poison."
.
I believe Billy Joel sang that song originally, and prefer his version to the new one.
The cover version of his Uptown Girl by one of the boy bands is no way as good as his version!   |

"I prefer his version of Just The Way You Are to Barry White's original."
Bily Joel's version is the original. From the 77 album The stranger. Joel wrote it for his wife |

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
Name that song? |

Annie Lennox, Why?
Another fine song.
"Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd always does it for me, 'cos I cry over my wee dead cat when I hear it.
(And if anyone laughs at that, you can f*** right off) |

Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away way way from my bedside
And bother me no more
And bother me no more
I’ll go tell all of my brothers
Tell all my sisters too
The reason that my heart is broke
Is on account of you
Is on account of you
I’ll give you back your letters
I'll give you back your ring
But I'll never forget my own true love
As long as song birds sing
As long as song birds sing
Go away from my window
Go away from my door
Go away way way from my bedside
And bother me no more
And bother me no more
Love this one.
Who sang it, who wrote it? |

"Glitter In The Air"
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face and said, "I just don't care"?
It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
The breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?
Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?
It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table
The walk before the run
The breath before the kiss
And the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?
La La La La La La La La
There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar
Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?
Tonight |
