Favorite Song Lyrics (Snippets)

[ThinkingPlus]

And she says, maybe it's over
He says, there's plenty more fish in the sea
I say, don't go away, don't go away
Please don't go away, from me
But can you take it to hard
I'll never leave you

 

Take those damn pictures off of that shelf
Put away your mommy you don't need her
I found you a new one, she'll be here soon

 

And she says, my God it's over,
He says, I found another fish in the sea
I say, why me?
Why me?
Why me?
Why is it me?

 

Love Song

Five for Fighting

[Argonne69]

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
No I don't need to be forgiven
No no no no no no no

Teenage wasteland
It's only teenage wasteland
Teenage wasteland
Oh yeah, teenage wasteland
They're all wasted!

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland

 

- The Who, Baba O'Reily 

 

[Triple Lindy]

Don't you let nobody take you to a low level

Just keep on and keep on until you reach higher ground

 

- Stevie Wonder

[Argonne69]

In some of my songs
I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

I like beer
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer
It helps me unwind
And sometimes it makes me feel mellow
(Makes him feel mellow)

Whiskey's too rough
Champagne costs too much
Vodka puts my mouth in gear
This little refrain
Should help me explain
As a matter of fact I like beer (he likes beer)

Last night I dreamed that I passed from the scene
And I went to a place so sublime
Oh, the water was clear
And tasted like beer
Then they turned it all into wine (oh)

I like beer
It makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer
It helps me unwind
Sometimes it makes me feel mellow
(Makes him feel mellow)

Whiskey's too rough
Champagne costs too much
And vodka puts my mouth in gear
Aw, this little refrain
Should help me explain
As a matter of fact I love beer
(Yes, he likes beer)

 

- Tom Hall 

 

[Triple Lindy]

Aw, I never do nothing wrong, man
But every time I get the blame (I've been framed!)

Perfect for July. 

 

End of the spring
And here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days

That's when I had
Most of my fun, back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days

 

I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything is true
Ooh, yeah, yeah

Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime

Given our relentless heat wave, this is what I’m looking forward to…

 

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?

 

- Earth, Wind & Fire

[touch]

Trees swayin' in the summer breeze
Showin' off their silver leaves
As we walked by

Soft kisses on a summer's day
Laughing all our cares away
Just you and I

Sweet sleepy warmth of summer nights
Gazing at the distant lights
In the starry sky

They say that all good things must end someday
Autumn leaves must fall
But don't you know
That it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you?

Wish you didn't have to go
No, no, no, no, and when the rain
Beats against my window pane
I'll think of summer days again
And dream of you

 

"A Summer Song" by Chad and Jeremy

 

Songwriters: Keith Noble and  David Stuart 

[touch]

Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth
And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Oh, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

[iBanesto]

Yeah, you know you gotta help me out, yeah
Oh, don't you put me on the back burner
You know you gotta help me out, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down, yeah
You're gonna bring yourself down

 

--- The Killers

[iBanesto]

Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

 

--- The Beatles

[nitram]

If the time and the place was right
Would you meet me some time late at night
And make love like we both need to
Is this something we could do
It takes a lot of nerve to take a chance
It would be worth it for the sweetest romance
Hope we can get together come time
Now here's the question that's on my mind
Do you ever fool around
Could you lay your wings aside
Does an angel ever touch the ground
Do you ever fool around

 

- Joe Stampley

[ThinkingPlus]

If they ever get you down
There's always something I can do
Because I wouldn't ever wanna see you frown
I'll always do what's best for you

 

There ain't no mistaking
It's true love we're making
Something to last for all time
It's never-changing
Can't you hear me, I'm saying
I want you for the rest of my life

 

Together forever and never to part
Together forever we two
And don't you know
I would move Heaven and Earth
To be together forever with you

 

Rick Astley

Together Forever

That's right, you have just been Rick Rolled! LOL...

[ThinkingPlus]

Every time that you look my way
I fell so homeless
Your dreams own me

 

These landslides and buildings too high
That blocks the sun for everyone
Oh the law lives everywhere
And it lives without a care

 

I've been looking over my shoulder
Would you love me when you're older
Would you love me when you're older
Still I know you're true

 

The Jayhawks

Over My Shoulder

[touch]

Now it's come to what you want you've had your way
And all the things you thought before just faded into gray
And can you see
That I don't know if it's you or if it's me
If it's one of us I'm sure we'll both will see
Won't you look at me and tell me

Amie what you want to do?
I think I could stay with you
For a while, maybe longer
Longer if I do

 

Pure Prairie League

Songwriter: Craig Lee Fuller

[touch]

… I never felt it in my feet
I never felt it in my soul
But I heard it the alley
Now it's in my rock and roll
If you want to know a secret
You got to promise not to tell
If you want to get to heaven
You got to raise a little hell

 

 

Ozark Mountain Daredevils

Songwriters: John Dillon / Steve Cash

[touch]

Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess?
Or has it ever come down to do or die?
You've got to rise above the rest
No, well

I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if I've
Never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

 

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Songwriters: Dicky Barrett / Joseph Gittleman

[Argonne69]

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a fifty-amp fuse"
Sing it to me, honey

 

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find
You get what you need

 

- The Rolling Stones
 

[Argonne69]

Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, "Baby, can't you see?
I wanna be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between"

Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I'm gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I love you

I told that girl I can start right away
When she said, "Listen, baby, I got something to say
I got no car and it's breaking my heart
But I've found a driver and that's a start"

Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah!

 

- The Beatles 

 

[touch]

Woah, ah, mercy, mercy me
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows
From the north and south and east

Woah mercy, mercy me, yeah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury

Oh Jesus, yeah, mercy, mercy me, ah
Ah, things ain't what they used to be (ain't what they used to be)
Radiation underground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying

Hey, mercy, mercy me, oh
Hey, things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land?
How much more abuse from man can she stand?

Oh, na, na, na
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, ooh, woo

 

Marvin Gaye

Songwriter: Marvin Gaye

[Argonne69]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
But you're older
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

 

- Pink Floyd, Time 

 

[Argonne69]

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it (baby)
But baby, baby, I know it

You've lost that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
You've lost that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone, gone, gone, whoa

Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find every day
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away

Bring back that lovin' feeling
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling
Now it's gone...

 

- The Righteous Brothers

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply

Who needs a house out in Hackensack
Is that what you get for your money?
 

- Billy Joel

[Jackal]

Someone gets excited in a chapel yard, catches a bouquet. Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave- Chris Cornell

 

 

The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad so I had one more for dessert -Johnny Cash

 

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight, and yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home -Alice in Chains 

[Argonne69]

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand
The cards were stacked against them they weren't born in Lotus Land

All preordained, a prisoner in chains, a victim of venomous fate
Kicked in the face, you can pray for a place, in heaven's unearthly estate

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill

 

- Rush

 

[nitram]

We got winners
We got losers
Chain-smokers and boozers
We got yuppies
We got bikers
We got thirsty hitchhikers
And the girls next door dress up like movie stars
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, I love this bar

 

We got cowboys
We got truckers
Broken-hearted fools and suckers
And we got hustlers
We got fighters
Early-birds and all-nighters
And the veterans talk about their battle scars
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, I love this bar

 

I love this bar
It's my kind of place
Just walkin' through the front door
Puts a big smile on my face
It ain't too far
Come as you are
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, I love this bar

 

-Toby Keith

[PNWGuy]

Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz
Between what's flesh and what's fantasy
And the poets down here don't write nothing at all
They just stand back and let it all be
And in the quick of a knife, they reach for their moment
And try to make an honest stand
But they wind up wounded, not even dead
Tonight in Jungleland

 

Bruce Springsteen

[Argonne69]

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said, "I'm sorry"
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn't hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane

You may be right
I may be crazy
Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
Turn out the light
Don't try to save me
You may be wrong for all I know
But you may be right

 

- Billy Joel 

 

[Triple Lindy]

Candy came from out on the island

In the back room, she was everybody’s darling 

But she never lost her head

Even when she was giving head

 

- Lou Reed
