Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life it means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you there's something else (Go crazy)

Just Like Heaven
The Cure
Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
Threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I'll promise you
I'll promise that I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways, I had to make her glow
Why are you so far away she said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?
You, soft and only, you lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone, alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
You soft and only
You lost and lonely
You just like heaven |

Not everyone grows up to be an astronaut, Not everyone was born to be a king, Not everyone can be Freddie Mercury, But everyone can raise their glass and sing

I don't know if you notice anything missing
Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor
And I don't know if you even notice at all
'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door.

So, I broke into the palace;
With a sponge and a rusty spanner,
She said; "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
I said; "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

Up on the mic repeating two words, over and over again
Was this woman he had never noticed before he lost himself in the
Articulated manner in which she said them.
These two words, a little bit behind the beat.
I mean just enough o-turn you on.
For every time she said the words another one of his doubts were gone. |

Well I know that I'm damned if I never get out,
And maybe I'm damned if I do,
But with every other beat I've got left in my heart,
You know I want to be damned with you
If I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
Dancing through the night with you. |

“Don’t you run back inside darling, you know just what I’m here for.
So you’re scared and you’re thinking that maybe we ain’t that young anymore.
Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night. You ain’t a beauty but, hey, you’re alright.
Oh and that’s alright with me.”

The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You got to promise not to stop when I say when
Foo’s Everlong
I tear my heart open
And sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
And my scars remind me
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

Now Ernie had a rival
An evil looking man
Called Two Ton Ted from Teddington
And he drove the baker's van
He tempted her with his treacle tarts
And his tasty wholemeal bread
And when she saw the size
Of his hot meat pies
It very near turned her head
Ernie and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west.

A young girl, she is shaded.
.
Bears the scars that never faded
.
Of the baby that was born on Christmas day
.
While the heaven sing their song
A child's life is never long
.
'Cause the food supplies will only last a day
.
Yazoo Mr Blue. |

Toast one last puff
And two last regrets
Three spirits and
Twelve lonely steps
Up heaven's stairway to gold
Mine myself like coal
A mountain of a soul
Each day, I cry
Oh, I feel so low from living high |

"And a thousand lonely housewives clutch empty milkbottles to their hearts.
Town called Malice - the Jam."
Weller was a lyrical genius back then - the way he painted pictures with words and created 3 minute kitchen sink dramas from them was a joy...my personal favourite...with apologies for making it the whole song and not just a couple of lines:
The distant echo
Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
To take them home to
The ones that they love and who love them forever
The glazed, dirty steps, repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
Cold and uninviting, partially naked
Except for toffee wrappers and this morning's paper
Mr. Jones got run down
Headlines of death and sorrow, they tell of tomorrow
Madmen on the rampage
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I fumble for change, and pull out the Queen
Smiling, beguiling
I put in the money and pull out a plum
Behind me
Whispers in the shadows, gruff blazing voices
Hating, waiting
"Hey boy" they shout, "have you got any money?"
And I said, "I've a little money and a takeaway curry
I'm on my way home to my wife
She'll be lining up the cutlery, you know she's expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs
And too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
Filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth, it blocked all my senses
Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight
The last thing that I saw as I lay there on the floor
Was "Jesus saves" painted by an atheist nutter
And a British rail poster read "have an away day, a cheap holiday
Do it today"
I glanced back on my life, and thought about my wife
'Cause they took the keys, and she'll think it's me
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight

"How do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume.
To Sir With Love-
Lulu"
Love that song.

is just to love and be loved in return"

"Everyday, we're all gonna say,
We love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds!
Everywhere, we're gonna be there,
We, love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds
 "
Thanks for reminding us of these lyrics but we won't be needing them this coming weekend, after all.  |

"Next thing you know I'm wearing absolutely nothing except for my socks.
And you know when I'm down to just my socks what time it is
It's business time
It's business
It's business time
When I'm down to my socks it's time for business.
That's why they're called business socks"
- Flight of the Conchords
Though to be fair, almost every line of all their songs are great |

Meanwhile i lay in my dirty hotel room and slept.
I dreamed that i was face to face with an amorous dragon that wanted to kill me and beckoned.
I approached, unsheathed and said 'let's go, come on, let's go'. |

I believe in happiness
I believe in love
I believe she fell to Earth from somewhere high above
I believe in Hollywood
Don’t believe that love should bring despair.

You were workin' as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on, you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too |

On a hot summer's night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Will he offer me his mouth?
Yes.
Will he offer me his teeth?
Yes
Will he offer me his jaws?
Yes
Will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Yes
And will he starve without me?
Yes
And does he love me?
Yes
Yes
On a hot summer night,would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Yes
I bet you say that to all the boys. |

Xanadu -Rush
To seek the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honey dew
And drink the milk of paradise.
I had heard the whispered tales
Of immortality
The deepest mystery
From an ancient book, I took a clue
I scaled the frozen mountain tops
Of eastern lands unknown
Time and man alone
Searching for the lost, Xanadu
Xanadu.
To stand within the pleasure dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste anew the fruits of life
The last immortal man
To find the sacred river Alph
To walk the caves of ice
Oh, I will dine on honey dew
And drink the milk of paradise, oh paradise.
A thousand years have come and gone
But time has passed me by
Stars stopped in the sky.
Frozen in an everlasting view
Waiting for the world to end
Weary of the night
Praying for the light
Prison of the lost, Xanadu
Xanadu
Held within the pleasure dome
Decreed by Kubla Khan
To taste my bitter triumph
As a mad immortal man
Never more shall I return
Escape these caves of ice
For I have dined on honey dew
And d*unk the milk of paradise, whoa paradise
Songwriters: Neil Elwood Peart / Gary Lee Weinrib / Alex Zivojinovich

Sweetness, sweetness I was only joking
When I said I'd like to smash every tooth
In your head
Oh...sweetness, sweetness, I was only joking
When I said by rights you should be
Bludgeoned in your bed

And when all of your friends are my enemies
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
And my only defense is the worst of me
Out in the open for all to survey
When you settle for less than I promised you
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
It's cause some things are just harder to say |

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
And how we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
and
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
both from inbetween days by the cure . |

As the snow flies..... On a cold and grey Chicago morn and another little baby child is born in the ghetto!
Sends shivers and makes my hairs stand on end. |

Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats,
and ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes,
coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers.
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of love-me avenue.
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers.
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald, any day now,
the year of the diamond dogs |

And I feel it's going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
I'm waiting for your healing hand,
One touch could bring me round
I feel we're going down,
Ten feet below the ground,
It's just the way I'm feeling. |
