PrintableTheFrog said: Ah, the Leonard Cohen original. I like it.
Or this slight alteration: I heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this : The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrough ya She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew ya I've seen your flag on the marble arch But love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me do ya But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Well, maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya It's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah... | |

Me too... I was listening to it last night and noticed the difference in the lyric. And I started thinking, "Those lines are so beautiful, should I edit my first post? Should I post again? They need to be included." And I realized, hey... there's room for both sets of lyrics. So I posted a second time and slept easy. | |

Too true. Can't get enough of that song.
And i'm listening to a live version of the JB version now. So beautiful. I've always loved the lines about the Holy dove and about shooting someone who outdrew ya; they're probably my favourite of the whole song (though I like the cheeky musical lyrics at the beginning). | |

For  and Byron, each for different reasons  
Oh baby don’t it feel like heaven right now Don’t it feel like somethin’ from a dream Yeah I’ve never known nothing quite like this Don’t it feel like tonight might never be again We know better than to try and pretend Baby no one could have ever told me ’bout this The waiting is the hardest part Every day you see one more card You take it on faith, you take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part Well yeah I might have chased a couple of women around All it ever got me was down Then there were those that made me feel good But never as good as I feel right now Baby you’re the only one that’s ever known how To make me wanna live like I wanna live now The waiting is the hardest part Every day you see one more card You take it on faith, you take it to the heart The waiting is the hardest part Don’t let it kill you baby, don’t let it get to you Don’t let ’em kill you baby, don’t let ’em get to you I’ll be your breathin’ heart, I’ll be your cryin’ fool Don’t let this go to far, don’t let it get to you In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

How about this? POSSESSION- SARAH MCLACHLAN Listen as the wind blows From across the great divide Voices trapped in yearning Memories trapped in time The night is my companion And solitude my guide Would I spend forever here And not be satisfied And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd Wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear Through this world I've stumbled So many times betrayed Trying to find an honest word to find The truth enslaved Oh you speak to me in riddles and You speak to me in rhymes My body aches to breathe your breath You words keep me alive Into this night I wander It's morning that I dread Another day of knowing of The path I fear to tread Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride 'Cause nothing stands between us here And I won't be denied In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

Black
Hey...oooh... Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Her lace spread out before me, as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything? Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything? All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah... Uh huh...uh huh...ooh... I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine | |

Tricky
....."Poems" I can vibe to anything Do I have to hide from everything? Everybody wants a piece of me Reach their origin and cease to be Sit back and let it happen, Let us take your time away. I don't understand you. I don't want your time of day. If you're gonna walk, might as well walk your way Always walk the hallways, Forget the punk, I pack the funk. I'm gonna take a piece of you. Making money for good health, But first I learn to see myself But first I learn to see myself You promised me poems You promised me poems You promised me poems Terry Hall : I ruse the day that I ever met you, And deeply regret you getting close to me. I cannot wait to deeply neglect you, Deeply forget you, Jesus believe me You promised me poems. You might have been my reason for livin' I gave up on givin', gave up everything. We were a right pair of believers A couple of dreamers, So how come you hate me? You promised me poems You promised me poems You promised me poems Promised me poems Martina : Dreamed of ringing voices, And contemplated choices. Taste like a real kiss, To heighten my awareness. With all fairness, greatness with gratitude. And simply riled with attitude Now do promotion on TV, and ya still can't see. We're down the hill cascade And keep away the masquerade, Dreamed of ringing voices, And you promised me poems You promised me poems You promised me poems You promised me poems | |

Music Box When I am lost You shine a light for me and set me free When I am low You wash away my tears And take me through The loneliness And emptiness Through the darkest night Somehow I survive Through it all When you tell me I'm the only one you need Sweet and tenderly And your love Breaks away the clouds surrounding me All I have I want to give to thee If I should fall Your love is strong enough to life me up If I'm afraid You chase away my fears And take me to A brighter place Beyond the rain And I feel alright Because you're by my side Through it all When you tell me I'm the only one you need Sweet and tenderly And your love Breaks away the clouds surrounding me All I have I want to give to thee You take me through The loneliness and emptiness And I feel alright 'Cause you're by my side Through it all You tell me I'm the only one you need Sweet and tenderly And your love Just breaks away the clouds surrounding me And baby all I have I want to give to thee Want to give you all of my love Now and forever my love All I have I want to give to thee | |

"...God show me the way because the devil's tryin' to break me down, The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now, And I don't think there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs, I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid coz' we aint spoke in so long!...

Mr Cohen.
Like a bird on the wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If i, if I have been unkind I hope that you can just let it go by. If i, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you. Like a baby, stillborn, Like a beast with his horn I have torn everyone who reached out for me. But I swear by this song And by all that I have done wrong I will make it all up to thee. I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He said to me, you must not ask for so much. And a pretty woman leaning in her darkened door She cried to me, 'hey, why not ask for more?' Oh like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. | |

There you are holding her hand
I am lost Dying to understand Didn't I cherish you right Don't you know you were my life Chorus: Even though I try I can't let go Something in your eyes Captured my soul And every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let go Just cast aside You don't even know I'm alive You just walk on by Don't care to see me cry And here I am Still holding on I can't accept My world is gone Chorus Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside Everyday of my life Do you know the way it feels When all you have just dies I try and try to deny that I need you But still you remain on my mind No I just can't get you out of my mind I never can say goodbye 'Cause every night I see you in my dreams You're all I know I can't let you go Even though I try I can't let go Of something that I need so badly You're all I know I can't let go [This message was edited Sat Apr 24 23:57:58 2004 by LatinaAngel] | |

For those now departed and dearly missed.
'Here today' by Paul McCartney. And if I said, 'I really knew you well' What would your answer be If you were here today? Here today. Well knowing you, You’d probably laugh and say that we were worlds apart. If you were here today. Here today. But as for me, I still remember how it was before. And I am holding back the tears no more. I love you. What about the time we met? Well I suppose that you could say that we were playing hard to get. We didn’t understand a thing, But we could always sing! What about the night we cried, Because there wasn’t any reason left to keep it all inside. Never understood a word. But you were always there...with a smile. And if I say I really loved you And was glad you came along. And you were here today. For you are in my song. Here today.  | |

The Smiths. 'There is a light...'
Take me out tonight Where there's music and there's people And they're young and alive. Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven't got one Anymore. Take me out tonight Because I want to see people and I Want to see life. Driving in your car Oh, please don't drop me home Because it's not my home, it's their Home, and I'm welcome no more. Chorus: And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us - To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us - To die by your side Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine Take me out tonight Take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care. And in the darkened underpass I thought 'Oh God, my chance has come at last' (But then a strange fear gripped me and I Just couldn't ask). Take me out tonight Oh, take me anywhere, I don't care I don't care, I don't care. Driving in your car I never never want to go home Because I haven't got one, Oh, I haven't got one. And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us - To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die. And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us - To die by your side Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine. Oh, There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out | |

You know me well we go too far back
How could anyone else compete with that So I just can't help feeling sentimental About things in the past We promised to keep it casual But at times that can be so difficult This relationship's so untypical And I can't understand Tell me why Tell me why First you love me And then you leave me And then I'm falling back in your arms There's no conclusion You're so deceiving Cuz I get taken in by your charms Even though I try not to bend There goes my heart again Baby why can't we be just friends It's a mess but we still pretend Any fool could foresee the end But there goes my heart again When I feel your stare Catching me off-guard It's just not fair Cuz you know for sure How to lure me in With that magnetic smile First you love me And then you leave me And then I'm falling back in your arms There's no conclusion You're so deceiving Cuz I get taken in by your charms Even though I try not to bend There goes my heart again Baby why can't we be just friends It's a mess but we still pretend Any fool could foresee the end But there goes my heart again Tell me why Tell me why First you love me And then you leave me And then I'm falling back in your arms There's no conclusion You're so deceiving Cuz I get taken in by your charms Even though I try so very hard not to bend There goes my heart again There goes, there goes There goes my heart again There goes my heart again Baby, baby, baby, baby There goes my heart again Cuz you love me Then you leave me baby I try to keep it casual There goes my heart again There goes my heart again One, two, three, four, five, six, seventh heaven | |

Sublime's Lyrics - Saw Red
Girls don’t go crazy Woman, hold your man tight Every day I love him just a little bit more, A little bit more, a little bit more Everyday I love him just a little bit more And he loves me the same Every day I love her just a little bit more, A little bit more, little bit more Everyday I love her just a little bit more And she loves me the same Baby if you wanna get on Oh baby if you wanna get off It makes no sense at all I saw red I saw red, I saw red, one more sacred lover that I shot dead Everyday I wake up just a little bit more Feelin’ like a dog out on the yard Because that’s just how we are Everyday I wonder if it’s over When I wake up realizin’ that we hate And brake down the war You say it’s black, but I can’t believe you And if you say it’s white, You say I’m tryin to deceive you And I’m aware of the high and the low, And I’d be waiting for you in the middle but I just lack control Baby if you wanna get low Oh baby if you wanna get high It makes no sense at all I saw red I saw red, I saw red, one more sacred lover that I shot dead Girls, don’t go crazy, Girls, don’t go crazy, Oh girls, don’t go crazy when the men use you, oh Oh, woman hold your man tight If it makes you feel right, it’s your own life oh, how i miss sublime. | |

Way over yonder - Carole King Way over yonder is a place that I know Where I can find shelter from hunger and cold. And the sweet tasting good life is so easily found Way over yonder that's where I'm bound. I know when I get there, the first thing I'll see Is the sun shining golden (sun shining golden) shining right down on me. Then trouble's gonna lose me worry leave me behind And I'll stand up proudly in true peace of mind. Talkin' bout a, talkin' bout a... Way over yonder is a place I have seen In a garden of wisdom from some long ago dream saxophone solo May be tomorrow I'll find my way To the land where the honey runs in rivers each day And the sweet tasting good life is so easily found Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound Way over yonder - that's where I'm bound
