OK I know this is now Poetry but it looks like the best place to post this one.

 

What are your fav song Lyrics heres mine

 

 

Artist: Jane Siberry with k.d.lang Lyrics

Song: Calling All Angels Lyrics

 

 

Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah

Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica

Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla

Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir

and all the rest

 

a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries

and high above the church bells start to ring

and as the heaviness the body oh the heaviness settles in

somewhere you can hear a mother sing

 

then it's one foot then the other as you step out onto the road

how much weight? how much weight?

then it's how long? and how far?

and how many times before it's too late?

 

calling all angels

calling all angels

walk me through this one

don't leave me alone

calling all angels

calling all angels

we're cryin' and we're hurtin'

and we're not sure why...

 

and every day you gaze upon the sunset

with such love and intensity

it's almost...it's almost as if

if you could only crack the code

then you'd finally understand what this all means

 

but if you could...do you think you would

trade in all the pain and suffering?

ah, but then you'd miss

the beauty of the light upon this earth

and the sweetness of the leaving

 

calling all angels

calling all angels

walk me through this one

don't leave me alone

callin' all angels

callin' all angels

we're tryin'

we're hopin'

we're hurtin'

we're lovin'

we're cryin'

we're callin'

'cause we're not sure how this goes

those are beautiful lyrics Spugly...

 

I too have too many "favorites" but some current relative lyrics are from a song I totally blast and sing really, really loud to every time it comes on, here's the chorus and the part I relate to most...

 

Its from a band called Tonic - You Wanted More

I know its an older one but I'm sort of into it right now.

 

I don't know when I got bitter but love is surely better when it's gone.....

 

'Cause you wanted more

More than I could give

More than I could handle

In a life that I can't live

 

You wanted more

More than I could bear

More than I could offer

for a love that isn't there....

I have always been enamored by the Tom Waits songs. His lyrics are always filled with wonderful imagery,cool metaphors.... My favorite singer/song writer.

 

Artist- Tom Waits

 

The Ghosts of Saturday Night

 

A cab combs the snake,

Tryin' to rake in that last night's fare,

And a solitary sailor

Who spends the facts of his life

like small change on strangers...

 

Paws his inside P-coat pocket

for a welcome twenty-five cents,

And the last bent butt from a package of Kents,

As he dreams of a waitress with Maxwell House eyes

And marmalade thighs with scrambled yellow hair.

 

Her rhinestone-studded moniker says, "Irene"

As she wipes the wisps of dishwater blonde from her eyes

 

And the Texaco beacon burns on,

The steel-belted attendant with a 'Ring and Valve Special'...

Cryin' "Fill'er up and check that oil"

"You know it could be a distributor and it could be a coil."

 

The early mornin' final edition's on the stands,

And that town cryer's cryin' there with nickels in his hands.

Pigs in a blanket sixty-nine cents,

Eggs - roll 'em over and a package of Kents,

Adam and Eve on a log, you can sink 'em damn straight,

Hash browns, hash browns, you know I can't be late.

 

And the early dawn cracks out a carpet of diamond

accross a cash crop car lot

filled with twilight Coupe Devilles,

Leaving the town in a-keeping

Of the one who is sweeping

Up the ghost of Saturday night...

for the rest of my life??

 

One song?

 

Never.

 

There's no way I could listen to one song over and over and over for the rest of my life.

 

I don't even want to think about that. I would totally freak if all the music, save for one song, disappeared. AHHH.... no way dude.

To dream the impossible dream ...

To fight the unbeatable foe ...

To bear with unbearable sorrow ...

To run where the brave dare not go ...

To right the unrightable wrong ...

To love pure and chaste from afar ...

To try when your arms are too weary ...

To reach the unreachable star ...

 

This is my quest, to follow that star ...

No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...

To fight for the right, without question or pause ...

To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...

 

And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,

That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,

when I'm laid to my rest ...

And the world will be better for this:

That one man, scorned and covered with scars,

Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,

To reach ... the unreachable star ...

in that case Spug, i hope you won't mind if i have another go and post the lyrics to Simon and Garfunkel's classic "The Boxer", the only song that ever made me break down and cry at a concert (and i've been to many, many rock shows in my day)...

 

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told

I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles,

Such are promises, all lies and jest,

Still a man hears what he wants to hear

And disregards the rest, hmmmm

 

When I left my home and my family, I's no more than a boy

In the company of strangers

In the quiet of the railway station, runnin' scared, laying low,

Seeking out the poorer quarters, where the ragged people go,

Looking for the places only they would know.

 

Asking only workman's wages, I come lookin' for a job,

But I get no offers,

Just a come-on from the wh***s on 7th Avenue.

I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome

I took some comfort there.

 

Now the years are rolling by me, they are rockin' evenly,

And I'm older than I once was, younger than I'll be, that's not unusual

Oh it isn't strange, after changes upon changes,

we are more or less the same, after changes, we are more or less the same.

 

And I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I was gone,

goin' home

Where the New York City winters aren't bleedin' me, leadin' me,

goin' home.

 

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade

And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him

'Til he cried out in his anger and his shame

"I am leaving, I am leaving," but the fighter still remains.
