I love that song I posted those lyrics on one of Sweenys lyrics threads!!

Donny Hathaway/Roberta Flack
The Closer I Get to You

...over and over again, I'll try to tell myself that we could never be more than friends...

Unchained Melody U2

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
Alone, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God, speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely river sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
Oh, my, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine, I need your love I need your
love, God speed your love to me.

This is for someone who isn't here anymore.....

RYAN ADAMS - WISH YOU WERE HERE
Cotton candy and a rotten mouth
You know you're so fucked up
You know I couldn't help but have it for you

And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
And knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked up
I'm totally fucked up
Wish you were here

And streets that only turn to boulevards
And houses with back yards
and it's raining like hell on the cars
And everybody knows the way I walk
And knows the way I talk
Knows the way I feel about you
It's all a bunch of shit
And there's nothing to do around here
It's totally fucked
I'm totally fucked
Wish you were here

And if I could have my way
We'd take some drugs
And we'd smile
We'd smile
We'd smile
But not tonight, my dear
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
Wish you were here


RYAN ADAMS - SO ALIVE

Today I watched the boats
Moving through the harbor
Walking on water
In your arms I'd stay
Forever if I could
Forever if I may
Keeps me in your thoughts, don't disappear

I am on your side
And so alive
So alive it isn't real

If this is how I feel
Then nothing now is true
And nothing now can ever be taken away from you
Sinking in the past
The things that shouldn't last
Just put to bed and stand beside me
Stand beside me

Always on your side
I'm on your side
And so alive it isn't real

I am on your side
And so alive
And so alive
And so alive

I am on your side
I am on your side
I am on your side
And so alive
So alive

One of my favorite DM songs

DEPECHE MODE - IT DOESN'T MATTER



I am happy
That I have you
Even though you're not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though it's definitely not of me

It doesn't matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I'm praying
That we're staying
Together

I am warmed
By your friendship
Even when you're far away
And I'm happy
In the knowledge
We may never see the day

When I kiss you
And you kiss me
Don't pretend you miss me
The worst kind
Of diseased mind
Is one filled with jealousy

If we should meet again
Don't try to solve the puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please don't move a muscle

I will thank you most of all for
The respect you have for me
I'm embarrased it overwhelms me
Because I don't deserve any.



Somebody~~~Depeche Mode


I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll offen disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer dear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it.

the one song that will forever make me cry is the Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves in Verdi's Nabucco. my mother told me that she and the other captives sang that song in the Russian prison camp during WWII. it just tears me up when i hear it.


Gefangenenchor aus der Oper Nabucco von Guiseppe Verdi

Flieg, Gedanke, getragen von Sehnsucht,
lass`dich nieder in jenen Gefilden,
wo in Freiheit wir glücklich einst lebten,
wo die Heimat uns`rer Seele - ist.

Grüß die heilige Flut uns`res Niles,
grüße Memphis und seinen Sonnentempel!
Teure Heimat, wann seh ich dich wieder,
dich, nach der mich die Sehnsucht verzehrt?

Was die Seher uns einst weissagten,
wer zerschlug uns die tröstliche Kunde?
Die Erinn`rung allein gibt uns Stärke
zu erdulden, was uns hier bedroht.

Was an Qualen und Leid unser harret,
uns´rer Heimat bewahr`n wir die Treue!
Unser letztes Gebet gilt dir, teure Heimat,leb wohl
teure Heimat ,leb wohl.
lebe wohl, teure Heimat, leb wohl
lebe wohl, lebe wohl, lebe wohl!

The Crash:
SECRETS

Will you understand
what I cannot say?
Will you read my thoughts
on and on again?
Will you feel this way more and more and more?

Who do you love now or on the whole?

Hello. All I want is you.
Hey you, give it up, you cannot resist these secrets.

So uneasily you and I will meet.
Only secretly you and I will feel.

Who do you love now or on the whole?

Hello. All I want is you.
Hey you, give it up, you cannot resist these secrets.

Nobody should know what we should not do.
Only secretly…

Hello, all I want is you.
Hey you, give yourself away.
Feel it, give it up, you cannot resist these secrets.

Was it love that was here for a while? Or just some-one you knew before?
Did you see where it went? Did it say what it was?
And could you hear what it said or whispered ‘bout you and me


This was a song I played a lot during this summer as I had a terrible crush on somebody and realized he had felt the same for me, it still makes me quite blue to think about him.

Well, It's Saturday night
You're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
Maybe you been watching me, too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well, if you're looking for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls they want a Handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe
On their arm, some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well 'round here, baby
I learned you get what you can get
So, if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Well, the road is dark
And it's a thin, thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other men
They couldn't pass the test
But, if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Well, it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
I don't know, baby, maybe you've been around, too
Well, there's another dance
All you gotta do is say 'Yes'
And if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

If you're rough enough for love
Baby, I'm tougher than the rest

Me and Billy the Kid never got along
I didn't like the way he cocked his hat
and he wore his gun all wrong
We had the same girlfriend
and he never forgot it
She had a cute little Chihuahua
until one day he up and shot it
He rode the hard country down the New Mexico line
He had a silver pocketwatch that he never did wind
He crippled the piano player
for playin' his favorite song
No, Me and Billy the Kid never got along

Me and Billy the Kid never got along
I didn't like the way he parted his hair
and he wore his gun all wrong
He was bad to the bone
All hopped up on speed
I would've left him alone
If it wasn't for that Senorita
He gave her silver and he paid her hotel bill
But it was me she loved and she said she always will
I'd always go and see her
when Billy was gone
Yeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got along

Me and Billy the Kid never got along
I didn't like the way he tied his shoes
and he wore his gun all wrong
One day I said to Billy
"I've got this foolproof scheme"
We'll rob Wells Fargo
"It's bustin at the seams."
I admit that I framed him but I don't feel bad
Cause the way I was livin' was drivin' me mad
Billy reached for his gun
but his gun was on wrong
Yeah, Me and Billy the Kid never got along

Me and Billy the Kid never got along
But I did like the way he swayed in the wind
While I played him his favorite song
Now my baby sings harmony with me
To "La Cucaracha"
She winds her silver pocket watch
And pets her new Chihuahua
I moved in to the hotel and got a room with a shower
We lay and listen to that watch tick hour after hour
Outside I hear the wind
blowin' o so strong
Me and Billy the Kid never got along

Can't help it! thanx mate

Mary Jane- Alanis Morissette

What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore

It's a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it

I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for

Well it's full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading

Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don't censor your tears

You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you

So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane.....

My sister spent a year in hospital with anorexia and I always associate this song with that time. I hear you're losing weight again, what a pity. Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for?

She's healthy and happy now thank god!

This is that stupid lil chorus that plays in the background of the drive-in scene in the movie Grease. Silly the things we remember...especially when we are hungry.

Fathers Eyes - Amy Grant

I may not be every mother’s dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that’s all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,

She’s got her father’s eyes,
Her father’s eyes;
Eyes that find the good in things,
When good is not around;
Eyes that find the source of help,
When help just can’t be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you’re going through
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father’s eyes,
My father’s eyes,
My father’s eyes,
Just like my father’s eyes.

And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done,
Good and bad they’ll all be had to see by everyone.
And when you’re called to stand and tell just what you saw in me,
More than anything I know, I want your words to be,

She had her father’s eyes,
Her father’s eyes;
Eyes that found the good in things,
When good was not around;
Eyes that found the source of help,
When help would not be found;
Eyes full of compassion,
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you’re going through,
And feeling it the same.
Just like my father’s eyes,
My father’s eyes,
My father’s eyes,
Just like my father’s eyes.
My father’s eyes,
My father’s eyes,
Just like my father’s eyes.
