By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

....ok I am not having a Julie Andrews moment, but I am downloading what appears to be the entire iTunes catalogue, and I came across (not literally, obviously) the following verse from a song;

"there's one girl I like, she's a smile on a Monday,

And she'll fight to stay so...

And she's like the sun On the weekend,

And though she is like the sea and shes right to be so,

Still I like that she sails with me"

So favourite verses/lyrics? Anyone (stop hiding at the back!)

And I don't believe in the existence of angels

But looking at you I wonder if that's true

But if I did I would summon them together

And ask them to watch over you

To each burn a candle for you

To make bright and clear your path

And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love

And guide you into my arms

incubus - wish you were here...

I dig my toes into the sand

The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds

Strewn across a blue blanket

I lean against the wind

Pretend that I am weightless

And in this moment I am happy...happy

..............

Flobots - handlebars...

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handlebars

No handlebars

Look at me, look at me

hands in the air like it's good to be

ALIVE

and I'm a famous rapper

even when the paths're all crookedy

I can show you how to do-si-do

I can show you how to scratch a record

I can take apart the remote control

And I can almost put it back together

I can tie a knot in a cherry stem

I can tell you about Leif Ericson

I know all the words to "De Colores"

And "I'm Proud to be an American"

Me and my friend saw a platypus

Me and my friend made a comic book

And guess how long it took

I can do anything that I want cuz, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome

No metronome

No metronome

And I can see your face on the telephone

On the telephone

On the telephone

Look at me

Look at me

Just called to say that it's good to be

ALIVE

In such a small world

I'm all curled up with a book to read

I can make money open up a thrift store

I can make a living off a magazine

I can design an engine sixty four

Miles to a gallon of gasoline

I can make new antibiotics

I can make computers survive aquatic conditions

I know how to run a business

I can make you wanna buy a product

Movers shakers and producers

Me and my friends understand the future

I see the strings that control the systems

I can do anything with no assistance

Cuz I can lead a nation with a microphone

With a microphone

With a microphone

And I can split the atoms of a molecule

Of a molecule

Of a molecule

Look at me

Look at me

Driving and I won't stop

And it feels so good to be

Alive and on top

My reach is global

My tower secure

My cause is noble

My power is pure

I can hand out a million vaccinations

Or let'em all die from exasperation

Have'em all healed from their lacerations

Have'em all killed by assassination

I can make anybody go to prison

Just because I don't like'em and

I can do anything with no permission

I have it all under my command

Because I can guide a missile by satellite

By satellite

By satellite

And I can hit a target through a telescope

Through a telescope

Through a telescope

And I can end the planet in a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handlebars

No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handlebars

There's a bottle of vodka still lodged in my head,

A blonde gave me nightmares,

I think she's still in my bed

little house on the praire

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river

You can hear the boats go by

You can spend the night beside her

And you know that she's half crazy

But that's why you want to be there

And she feeds you tea and oranges

That come all the way from China

And just when you mean to tell her

That you have no love to give her

Then she gets you on her wavelength

And she lets the river answer

That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her

And you want to travel blind

And you know that she will trust you

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

At least in my lifetime,

Ive had one dream come true,

I was blessed,

To be loved,

By someone as wonderful as you,

please dont go.

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

My frav elvis presley one (because it reminds me of my mum and dad splitting up) & my dad being the biggest presley fan ever created via sperm, gotta dedicate it...

I see a change is coming to our lives

It's not the same as it used to be

And it's not too late to realise our mistake

We're just not right for each other

Love has slipped away left us only friends

We almost seem like strangers

All that's left between us are the memories we shared

Of times we thought we cared for each other

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways

And pick up all the pieces left behind us

And maybe someday, somewhere along the way

Another love will find us

Some day when she's older, maybe she will understand

Why her mom and dad are not together

The tears that she will cry when I have to say goodbye

Will tear at my heart forever

There's nothing left to do but go our separate ways

And pick up all the pieces left behind us

And maybe someday, somewhere along the way

Another love will find us

Tewkesbury

Please allow me to introduce myself

I'm a man of wealth and taste

I've been around for a long, long year

Stole many a mans soul and faith

And I was round when Jesus Christ

Had his moment of doubt and pain

Made damn sure that Pilate

Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you

Hope you guess my name

Very closely followed by:

You got wires, going in

You got wires, coming out of your skin

You got tears, making tracks

I got tears, that are scared of the facts

Running, down corridors through, automatic doors

Got to get to you, got to see this through

I see hope is here, in a plastic box

I've seen Christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

You got wires, going in

You got wires, coming out of your skin

There's dry blood, on your wrist

Your dry blood on my fingertip

Running, down corridors through, automatic doors

Got to get to you, got to see this through

First night of your life, curled up on your own

Looking at you now, you would never know

I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes

You'll be alright

I see it in your eyes, I see it in your eyes

You'll be alright

Alright

Running, down corridors through, automatic doors

Got to get to you, got to see this through

I see hope is here, in a plastic box

I've seen Christmas lights, reflect in your eyes

down corridors, through automatic doors

Got to get to you, got to see this through

First night of your life, curled up on your own

Looking at you now, you would never know.

Crackin' song - love it too, but if you ever get the chance to listen to 'My Boy' do so - you'll love it and will probably even shed a small tear

There were three old gypsies came to our hall door

they came brave and boldly-o

And one sang high and the other sang low

and the other sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o

It was upstairs downstairs the lady went

put on her suit of leather-o

And there was a cry from around the door

she's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o

It was late that night when the Lord came in

enquiring for his lady-o

And the servant girl she said to the Lord

"She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

"Then saddle for me my milk white steed

- my big horse is not speedy-o

And I will ride till I seek my bride

she's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o"

Now he rode East and he rode West

he rode North and South also

Until he came to a wide open plain

it was there that he spied his lady-o

"How could you leave your goose feather bed

your blankeys strewn so comely-o?

And how could you leave your newly wedded Lord

all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

"What care I for my goose feather bed

wi' blankets strewn so comely-o?

Tonight I lie in a wide open field

in the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o"

"How could you leave your house and your land?

how could you leave your money-o?

How could you leave your only wedded Lord

all for a raggle taggle gypsy-o?"

"What care I for my house and my land?

what care I for my money-o?

I'd rather have a kiss from the yellow gypsy's lips

I'm away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o!"

You talk like Marlene Dietrich

And you dance like Zizi Jean-Maire

Your clothes are all made by Balmain

And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair

You live in a fancy apartment

Off the Boulevard St. Michel

Where you keep your Rolling Stones records

And a friend of Sasha Distel.

You go to the embassy parties

Where you talk in Russian and Greek

And the young men who move in your circles,

They hang on every word you speak.

But where do you go to my lovely...

When you're alone in your bed.

Tell me the thoughts that surround you.

I want to look inside your head.

I've seen all your qualifications

That you got from the Sorbonne

And the painting you stole from Picasso.

Your loveliness goes on and on.

When you go on your summer vacation,

You go to Juan-les-Pins

With your carefully designed topless swimsuit

You get an even suntan

On your back and on your legs

And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz

With the others of the jet set

And you sip your Napoleon brandy,

But you never get your lips wet

But where do you go to my lovely...

When you're alone in your bed.

Tell me the thoughts that surround you.

I want to look inside your head.

You're in between twenty and thirty,

A very desirable age.

You're body is firm and inviting,

But you live on a glittering stage.

Your name it is heard in high places.

You know the Agha Khan.

He sent you a race horse for Christmas

And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, aha aha.

They say that when you get married,

It will be to a millionaire.

But they don't realize where you came from

And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn.

But where do you go to my lovely...

When you're alone in your bed.

Tell me the thoughts that surround you.

I want to look inside your head.

Ah, remember the back streets of Naples,

Two children begging in rags

Both touched with a burning ambition

To shake off their lowly-born tags, so they try.

So look into my face Marie-Claire

And remember just who you are.

Then go and forget me forever

But I know you still bear the scar deep inside, yes, you do.

Ah, I know where you go to my lovely...

When you're alone in your bed.

I know the thoughts that surround you,

Cause I can look inside your head.
