Your favorite lyrics from a favorite song.

I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this longing in my heart
I knew it right from the start

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too...........

From my favorite artist...... Who can identify it?

And the days go by, like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own, I begin again......

Chorus: just like the white winged dove.....

Stevie Nicks.................... my wife is a huge fan :gj:

"What Shall We Do Now" - Roger Waters

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
Contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.

Jimmy Buffett: Pirate looks at forty

Makes me think I was born in the wrong decade or century and the wrong area...

Here's another one:
Marilyn Manson-"Fundamentally Loathsome"

Shoot myself to love you
If I loved myself I'd be shooting you

In context with the lyrics below I believe it means that if you care about your own emotional well-being, you would get rid of the source of all your emotional pain so that you wouldn't suffer.

When I hate it, you know I can feel
But when you love, you know it's not real, no.

the problem is that most of my favorite songs have no lyrics at all.

like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7kCIX2KiS4 four tet - everything is alright

or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrBZeWjGjl8 boards of canada - dayvan cowboy

or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XwOjSpdbc trentemoller - take me into your skin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxabLA7UQ9k hans zimmer - time

ok, something with lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taNCL5tXFPE

"We are building a religion, were building it bigger, we are widening the corridors and adding more lanes. We are building a religion, a limited edition, we are now accepting callers for these pendant keychains...." and so on.

when it comes to marilyn manson, i think the lyrics to "target audience" are excellent, unfortunately youtube is not being cooperative, i cannot find it right now.


this one is also good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZrZ83tdW_k

"I like to wait, to see how things turn out, if you apply some pressure. What happens when you lose everything? you just start again, you start all over again." not very deep, but quite uplifting.

and after all that, i found a song i like purely because of the lyrics.

really excellent stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3JjlkfX5Gk dispatch - the general

lyrics are in the video description, i dont want to copypaste it all for copyright reasons.



EDIT: but i got to post this...

EDIT 2: why did the bad word filter object to "-pa-" while allowing it a gazillion times?

Just for laughs. And because I find this song immensely catchy.
"Another Planet"-Alien Sex Fiend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aECz2j7zelY

I-I-I-I wish I woz
From another planet
And I could get back there
Any time I wanted
There ain't much here that
Would cause me too much grieving.

I'm sure all of us have had this moment before:

Sometimes there's just stuff that makes you want to go far away. Sometimes it's people, sometimes it's personal problems.
