what lyrics is sticking in your head lately?

for me its this steely dan gem

ANY WORLD (THAT I'M WELCOME TO)

If I had my way
I would move to another lifetime
I'd quit my job
Ride the train through the misty nighttime
I'll be ready when my feet touch ground
Wherever I come down
And if the folks will have me
Then they'll have me
CHORUS:
Any world that I'm welcome to
Is better than the one I come from

I can hear your words
When you speak of what you are and have seen
I can see your hand
Reaching out through a shining daydream
Where the days and nights are not the same
Captured happy in a picture frame
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there





CHORUS

I got this thing inside me
That's got to find a place to hide me
I only know I must obey
This feeling I can't explain away

I think I'll go to the park
Watch the children playing
Perhaps I'll find in my head
What my heart is saying
A vision of a child returning
A kingdom where the sky is burning
Honey I will be there
Yes I'll be there

and this one as well


People Make the World Go Round
The Stylistics

Trashman didn't get no trash today
Oh why because they want more pay
Buses on strike gonna raise the fare
So they can help polute the air

But that's what makes the world go round
The ups and downs a carosel
Changing people's heads around
Go underground young man

Wall Street losin' dough on ev'ry share
They're blaming it on longer hair
Big men smokin' in their easy chairs
On a fat cigar without a care

But that's what makes the world go `round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go `round

But that's what makes the world go `round
The up and down, the carousel
Changing people, they'll go around
Go underground, young man
People make the world go `round

People make the world go `round
People make the world go `round
People make the world go `round
FADE
People make the world go `round

I've had this one in my head since Saturday.

Busted flat in baton rouge, waiting for a train
And i’s feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to new orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding bobby’s hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my bobby mcgee.

From the kentucky coal mines to the california sun,
Hey, bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done,
Hey bobby baby kept me from the cold.

One day up near salinas, lord, I let him slip away,
He’s looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I’d trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
To be holding bobby’s body next to mine.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that’s all that bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my bobby mcgee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la bobby mcgee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, bobby mcgee, la.

La la la, la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la, hey now bobby now bobby mcgee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now bobby now, bobby mcgee, yeah.

Lord, I’m calling my lover, calling my man,
I said I’m calling my lover just the best I can,
C’mon, where is bobby now, where is bobby mcgee, yeah,
Lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lord
Hey, hey, hey, bobby mcgee, lord!

Yeah! whew!

Lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lordy lord
Hey, hey, hey, bobby mcgee.
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

I'm listening to a song that makes me think of Shausler. It's called "OWNED" by Jerry Cantrell:

I'm a whore, can't ignore this my lot
Live in guest house of palace I bought
Guess my pimp treats me swell I confess
I'm a whore, might as well be the best

Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raking, corporation roll
Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raping, taking five to one

Used to be beautiful
Never a moment dull
Surely the day will come
Put down when you can't run anymore

I'm a whore, can't complain, this I choose
Trading pleasure for coin, kept court fool
Pay my pimp, treats me right, lets me be
I'm a whore, nothing more, somewhat free

Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raking, corporation roll
Owned, breaking, sell the kids my soul
Owned, raping, taking five to one

Used to be beautiful
Never a moment dull
Surely the day will come
Put down when you can't run anymore

Used to be beautiful
Never a moment dull
Surely the day will come
Put down when you can't run anymore

Owned!!


biggrin

Case

Phil Collins--"Against All Odds"


How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we’ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, oh there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Ooh take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that’s what I’ve got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, cos there’s just an empty space

But to wait for you, is all I can do and that’s what I’ve got to face
Take a good look at me now, cos I’ll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta take

Take a look at me now

Mo' Better

Last night baby, I had a dream
That I fell asleep with all my clothes on and U tried 2 make love 2 me
I felt U tuggin' (tuggin') on my blouse and instead of slowin' U down
I put your hand inside and started movin' it all around

If I were able I'd make U wait awhile
But the card's on the table so I might as well show U my style
Are U ready baby? (Ooh)

CHORUS:
I'm the kind that takes her time
It's mo' better when it's wetter
What's the rush 4 the gush?
So much nicer when it's smooth
Do it slow, cuz U know
It's mo' better when it's wetter
This is mine, take your time
And I'll give it all 2 U

(It's mo' better when it's wetter)

I don't wanna wake up, this dream is 2 good 2 be true
Feels like I got my arms, (and) hips and thighs all around U
If real love could be like this baby, I'd give it 2 U night and day
But it seems like a man's always in a hurry when nanny ain't gonna run away (No way)

If I were able I'd make U wait, make U wait awhile (Just a little bit)
But the card's on the table so I might as well show U my style
Show U my style (Ooh)

CHORUS

Baby, yeah

Can U blame me 4 the time I take
When it's memorable love I wanna make?
U can't tame me if I wanna go wild
If U can't take a minute 2 learn my style

I'm sayin' U gotta learn my style, baby
I like 2 take my time
U with that?
Alright, check it out
U can pin me on the boards

I'm the kind that takes her time
It's mo' better when it's wetter
What's the rush 4 the gush?
So much nicer when it's smooth
Do it slow cuz U know (Do it slow, don't U know?)
It's mo' better when it's wetter (It's mo' better when it's wetter)
This is mine, take your time (Take your time)
And I'll give it all 2 U, U, U

(It's mo' better when it's wetter)
Don't blaim me baby, the time I take
(It's mo' better when it's wetter)
I wanna remember the love that we make
(It's mo' better when it's wetter)
Better when it's wetter

Solamente entrega tu cuerpo a quien tu amas
{Only give your body 2 whom U love}
Until we meet again

I heard this song on Saturday night, and I can't get the song out of my head now!!!! confused

Everybody - Stabilo Boss

doesn't anybody know how to walk anymore?
doesn't anybody know what a radio is for ?
doesn't anybody wear their hair down low ?
doesn't anybody know? doesn't anybody know?

doesn't anybody hate it when the street light.. turns red?
doesn't anybody want five more minutes in bed ?
doesn't anybody, doesnt anybody have a letter to send ?
doesn't anybody wish to have just one more friend ?

cause eveybody wants, and everybody needs
everybody asks for one more piece
everybody wants to hear someone say please
cause everybody takes, and everybody steals
everybody cries when somethings feels
everybody is looking for the drug that heals

doesn't anybody wanna take another shot at me ?
and go ahead the car is loaded and the motos's up for free
doesn't anybody spray perfume to cover up the smell ?
doesn't anybody know when I've gotta get some air ?

cause everybody wants, and everybody needs,
everybody begs for self esteem
why don't you get your mind out of the past
and everybody takes and everybody steals,
everybody's been kicked by other heels

please raise your hands up in the air..

yeah..why don't you raise your hands up in the air
why don't you raise your hands up in the air

cause everybody wants...

doesn't anybody know how to walk anymore?
doesn't anybody know what a radio is for ?
doesn't anybody wear their hair down low ?
doesn't anybody know? doesnt anybody know?

cause everybody wants...

Ben Folds: Still fighting it

Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95
It's okay, you don't have to pay
I've got all the change

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
And you're so much like me
I'm sorry

Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
Away from me

Good morning, son
I am a bird

It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
Tt hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

And you're so much like me
I'm sorry
Time flies like an arrow
Fruit flies like bananas

Marvin Gaye - "Heard it through the grapevine"

Ooh, I bet you're wondering how I knew
About you're plans to make me blue
With some other guy that you knew before.
Between the two of us guys
You know I love you more.
It took me by surprise I must say,
When I found out yesterday.
Don't you know that
I heard it through the grapevine
Not much longer would you be mine.
Oh I heard it through the grapevine,
Oh and I'm just about to lose my mind.
Honey, honey yeah.

I know that a man ain't supposed to cry,
But these tears I can't hold inside.
Losin' you would end my life you see,
Cause you mean that much to me.
You could have told me yourself
That you love someone else.
Instead.

People say believe half of what you see,
Son, and none of what you hear.
I can't help bein' confused
If it's true please tell me dear?
Do you plan to let me go
For the other guy you loved before?
Don't you know...

I love that song... I simply love it. I guess the lyrics r stuck in my head cuz I been listening to it on repeat last weekend music
