Favorite Song Lyrics (Snippets)

[Argonne69]

You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
 

- The Steve Miller Band

Laughed down by the putting green
Now I popped 'em in their holes.
Four and twenty labourers were labouring
And digging up their gold.
I don't believe they knew
That I was Long John Silver.

[Argonne69]

Your love is like a tidal wave
Spinning over my head
Drownin' me in your promises
Better left unsaid

You're the right kind of sinner
To release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner
And you know that you were born to be

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no

How you gonna ever find your place
Runnin' at artificial pace?
Are they gonna find us lying face down in the sand?
So what the hell now, we've already been forever damned

 

Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
Anyplace, but those I know by heart
Anywhere you go, I'll follow you down
I'll follow you down, but not that far

 

Gin Blossoms

Follow You Down

[ThinkingPlus]

Trying hard to speak and
Fighting with my weak hand
Driven to distraction
It's all part of the plan
When something is broken
And you try to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way you can

 

I dive in at the deep end
You become my best friend
I want to love you but I don't know if I can
I know something is broken
And I'm trying to fix it
Trying to repair it
Any way I can

It all started at a corner table
Sippin' on a Jack and Coke
When the sun found us the next mornin'

We were actin' like married folk
The weekend, it weakened me
And drained me of my will, you got me

 

Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill
And still I can't get my fill of you

 

I've spent all my money
I've lost my respect
You got me walkin' in circles, honey

And I'm a nervous wreck
I stay just one step
Ahead of a welfare dollar bill, you got me

 

Goin' down hill, you got me goin' down hill
And still I can't get my fill of you

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he'll be satisfied
Is when he's on a trump

Oh, mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, it's Friday and we're gettin' tore up
Headed down to the river in the back of Fred's truck
Remember that one time you said it was all right
Go get juiced down by the riverbed tonight

See, it's late now and I gotta get you home
Your momma don't like me and you being alone
I asked you a couple of times, you said it was all right
Go rootin' round the riverbed tonight

Tell me that you love me if it's true
I don't want no one girl if I can't have you
This Oklahoma Breakdown sure do got you crying
Let me tell you that I love you one more time.

-Stoney LaRue

… I must've been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone

… But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Fooled around and fell in love

… It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
I'd just tear out that page

… But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

So you're having trouble with your romance
Well you better check it out before it goes
'Cause you may not be seein'
Things just the way you should
And you don't recognize what everybody knows

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

And all at once you're ready to hang it up
'Cause things didn't turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they're calling you a fool
'Cause you don't know a good thing
When you got it in your hands

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love

Something happened to my heart the day that I met you
Something that I never felt before
You are always on my mind no matter what I do
And everyday it seems that I want you more

My love is warmer than the warmest sunshine, softer than a sigh
My love is deeper than the deepest ocean, wider than the sky
My love is brighter than the brightest star that shines every night above
And there is nothing in this world that can ever change my love

@touch When i see your avatar pop up here... it triggers an audio memory of this Daft Punk song "Touch" featuring Paul Williams  (along with this podcast discussing Daft Punk). No offence intended!

 

( I didn't know the name "Paul Williams"... but the podcast mentioned that Paul Williams is/was a prominent singer/songwriter from the 1970s e.g. involved in classics such as 'An Old Fashioned Love Song', 'We've only just begun', 'Rainy Days and Mondays', 'Rainbow Connection', etc).

..Podcast Synopsis/Episode Description:

In the song "Touch" from Daft Punk's final studio album, 2013's Random Access Memories, featured artist Paul Williams sings a line that augured the end of an impressive collaboration: "I need something more." With RAM, Daft Punk pulled out all the stops, going the opposite direction of their previous albums, to "give life back to music" and bestow hearts and souls upon their robotic doppelgängers.

RAM features almost no samples or programmed digital instruments, instead leaning into extensive collaborations with legendary studio musicians, iconic producers like Nile Rodgers, and modern mavens such as Pharrell. The making of RAM followed the blueprint of classic albums from what Daft Punk called "the golden age" of recording—Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Pink Floyd. The duo spent over a million dollars, held five years of studio sessions, and painstakingly crafted each track. The result was a record that helped usher in a retro disco-funk revival across pop music and generated a smash hit in "Get Lucky." The band had perhaps crafted their magnum opus—but did it also represent the conclusion of their epic narrative of the battle between human and machine?

High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh

 

You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

 

- Hall & Oates

 

[nitram]

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if you want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will

 

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

Life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live

 

Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I
Tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
Mmm, tell it like it is

Call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
Well there ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no changes in me
And I ain't hiding from nobody
Nobody's hiding from me
Oh, that's the way it's supposed to be

Well, I got that green light baby
I got to keep moving on
Well, I got that green light baby
I got to keep moving on
Well, I might go out to California
Might go down to Georgia I don't know

Well, I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
Well, now I dig you Georgia peaches
Makes me feel right at home
But I don't love me no one woman
So I can't stay in Georgia long

Well, now they call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road
Well, now they call me the breeze
I keep blowing down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ooh-ooh Mr. Breeze

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hand
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you

As much as I trusted you, I trusted my friend too
So I introduced you to him without much pressure
After that, we all met up frequently, having a good time
We just hung out together but where did it go wrong?
I kept getting this unknown feeling
That you liked my friend more than me
So you pushed me away farther and farther

One day, when we had a big fight
Afterwards, you and my friend didn’t call me
It felt like you two were avoiding me
Now I finally felt that everything was wrong
You and my friend suddenly became lovers
I cried, saying that this couldn’t be happening
I had to throw away both love and friendship
My other friend patted me on the back and told me to forget about it
But I don’t think I can.

 

Wrongful Meeting - Kim Gun Mo

[Argonne69]

She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs

Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come, but I was already there
'Cause the walls start shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it

And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long

Working double time on the seduction line
She's one of a kind, she's just mine, all mine
Wanted no applause, it's just another course
Made a meal outta me, and come back for more

Had to cool me down to take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing
That the walls were shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it

Yeah, you shook me

Yeah, you shook me all night long

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

[Argonne69]

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Givin' all your love to just one man

You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand

But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand

And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all, he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And somethin' warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

 

Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep givin' all the love you can
Stand by your man

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

 

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright"

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Don't worry)
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"
