This song is stuck in my head and won't go away!

All Day and All of the Night
Words and Music by Ray Davies
Originally recorded by The Kinks


I'm not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yea, all day and nighttime yours, leave me never
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
Oh, come on...

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yea, all day and nighttime yours, leave me never
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night time
All day and all of the night

this is our last goodbye
i hate to feel the love between us die
but its over
just hear this and then ill go
you gave me more to live for
more than you will ever know

this is our last embrace
you must i dream and always see your face
why cant we overcome this (i dont now the word here)
baby maybe its just because i didnt know you at all

Power Of Two - The Indigo Girls
words and music emily saliers


now the parking lot is empty
everyones gone someplace
i pick you up and in the trunk ive packed
a cooler and a 2-day suitcase

cause theres a place we like to drive
way out in the country
five miles out of the city limit were singing
and your hands upon my knee


so were okay
were fine
baby im here to stop your crying
chase all the ghosts from your head
im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
well look at them together then well take them apart
adding up the total of a love thats true
multiply life by the power of two


you know the things that i am afraid of
im not afraid to tell
and if we ever leave a legacy
its that we loved each other well
cause ive seen the shadows of so many people
trying on the treasures of youth
but a road that fancy and fast ends
ends in a fatal crash
and im glad we got off
to tell you the truth


cause were okay
were fine
baby im here to stop your crying
chase all the ghosts from your head
im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
well look at them together then well take them apart
adding up the total of a love thats true
multiply life by the power of two


all the shiny little trinkets of temptation
something new instead of something old
all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
and its fools gold
fools gold
fools gold


now were talking about a difficult thing
and your eyes are getting wet
i took us for better and i took us for worse
dont you ever forget it
now the steel bars between me and a promise
suddenly bend with ease
the closer im bound in love to you
the closer i am to free


so were okay
were fine
baby im here to stop your crying
chase all the ghosts from your head
im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
well look at them together then well take them apart
adding up the total of a love thats true
multiply life by the power of two

I'm Sensitive [I]

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
You always tell me that it's impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give it to people who have some faith
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way.
I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
it's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way!

Oxygen - JJ72

Short sleeves and warm skin
Losing coins calling next of kin
Dropping words about the city we're in
Ponds compressed by heavy air
Us without care just sprawling there
God's in our world
Airports and undergrounds
Waiting to find the unfound
Rising to pure insanity
Here when you want me true love
Has no simplicity
God's in our world
You and I
We're going so high
The air is getting thin
But our land does not breathe in
We don't need oxygen
It's dreams that binds us and locks us in
The rest are impaled by sense
[Solo]
You and I
We're going so high
The air is getting thin
But our land could not breathe in
We don't need oxygen
It's dreams that binds us and locks us in
The rest are impaled by sense

This song was in the charts when I was born. I heard it recently and can't stop thinking about it.

YOU WIN AGAIN, The Bee Gees
Words by Robin Gibb, Barry Gibb, and Maurice Gibb

I couldn’t figure why
You couldn’t give me what everybody needs
I shouldn’t let you kick me when I’m down
My baby
I find out everybody know that
You’ve been using me
I’m surprised you
Let me stay around you
One day I’m gonna lift the cover
And look inside your heart
We gotta level before we go
And tear this love apart

(chorus)
There’s no fight you can’t fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So little time
We do nothing but compete
There’s no life on earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never try
But if anybody can, we can
And I’ll be, I’ll be
Following you

Oh baby I shake you from now on
I’m gonna break down your defenses
One by one
I’m gonna hit you from all sides
Lay your fortress open wide
Nobody stops this body from
Taking you

You better beware, I swear
I’m gonna be there one day when you fall
I could never let you cast aside
The greatest love of all

(repeat chorus)

Howdy I'm new here - and joined cause Solice told me to - so I thought I'd let ye all know the song that's been going round my head recently especially the line with the three *** on it - over and over and over!!!! lol ah well.

Gemma Hayes "Back of my hand"

I'll be seeing you tomorrow
I'll be seeing you again
God knows we've said so little
I'd go so far as to call you a friend

But there's something in your ways
That keeps me vying for a connection
And I know you feel the same
It's become a two-way addiction

Come on and give me your heart
Write it on the back of my hand
And say it's forever

***Well we never really said goodbye
Kinda left it in the air ***
And as the train pulled off I knew you loved her more

Oh no no no no
I'm not afraid to lose
Oh no no no no
Just give me some time and I'll walk to a different groove

Go on and give her your heart
Write it on the back of her hand
And say it's forever

Go on and give her your heart
Write it on the back of her hand
And say it's forever

That's alright, that's ok, the thoughts of you are leaving
That's alright, that's ok, the thoughts of you are leaving
Anyway, are fading anyway

Come on and give her your heart
Write it on the back of her hand
And say it's forever

Come on and give me your heart
Come on and give me your heart
Come on and give me your heart

I never really pay much attention to the lyrics...just like this particular song.




The Voice Within
Written by Christina Aguilera, Glen Ballard


Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall, ooh
Young girl it's alright
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly, ooh

When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just
Trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to
Trust the voice within, ohh

Young girl don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away, ooh ohh
Young girl just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day, ohh

Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you're lost outside, look inside to your soul

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just
Trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
If you'll learn to begin to
Trust the voice within

Ohh yeah, ooh, yeah ohh

Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know
(Be strong)
Break it
(Hold on)
You'll make it
(Be strong)
Just don't forsake it because
(No one can tell you what you can't do)
No one can stop you
You know that I'm talking to you

When there's no one else
Look inside yourself
And like your oldest friend just
Trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength
That will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to
Trust the voice within, oh yeah

Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall, ohh

Joan Crawford Has Risen From The Grave
Blue Oyster Cult
Fire of Unknown Origin, 1981.

Junkies down in brooklyn are going crazy
They’re laughing just like hungry dogs in the street
Policemen are hiding behind the skirts of little girls
Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Joan crawford has risen from the grave
Joan crawford has risen from the grave

Catholic school girls have thrown away their mascara
They chain themselves to the axles of big mac trucks
The sky is filled with herds of shivering angels
The fat lady lives, "gentlemen, start your trucks"

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Joan crawford has risen from the grave
Joan crawford has risen from the grave

Christina
Mother’s home
Christina
Come to mother
Christina

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Joan crawford has risen from the grave
Joan crawford has risen from the grave
Joan crawford has risen from the grave
Joan crawford has risen from the grave

Liza with a Z
Liza Minnelli
Life is a Cabaret - 1992

It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S goes Sss not Zzz
It's Z instead of S, Li instead of Lee,
Simple as can be, see, Liza!

I'll do it again...

It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S goes Sss not Zzz
It's Z instead of S, Li instead of Lee,
Simple as can be, see, Liza!

Now, if my name were Ada, I'd be Ada, even backwards I'd be Ada!
Or if my name were Ruth, then I'd be Ruth, because with Ruth what can you do?
Or Sally, or Margaret, or Ginger, or Faye...
But when you're a Liza you always have to say

It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S goes Sss not Zzz
It's Z instead of S, Li instead of Lee,
Simple as can be, see, Liza!

Oh, and that is only half of it
There's another way they treat me cruelly
How often I remember someone saying
There she goes! Lisa Minooley!

Or Minoley, or Mineola, or Minilli, or Minilleye,
So is it a wonder
I very often cry

It's M-I-double N
Then E-double L-I
You double up the N, that's NNN, not NOO
Then E double the L, end it with an I,
That's the way you say, Minnelli!
Liza Minnelli!
It's Italian!
Blame it on Papa!
What can I do?

Every Sandra, who's a Sondra,
Every Mary who's really Marie,
Every Joan, who is a Joanne,
Has got to agree with me when I've announced
I don't mind being pummelled or trampeled or trounced
But it does drive you bats to be
Miss
Mispronounced!

It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S goes Sss not Zzz
It's Z instead of S, Li instead of Lee,
Simple as can be, see, Liza!
Then M-I-double N
Then E-double L-I
You double up the N, that's NNN, not NOO
Then E double the L, end it with an I,
That's the way you say, Minnelli!
Liza Minnelli!
It's easy!
It's easy!
See, it's Leezey...

No!

Sugar Daddy
Hedwig and the Angry Inch Soundtrack
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - 1999

I've got a sweet tooth
for licorice drops and jelly roll,
Hey sugar daddy,
Hansel needs some sugar in his bowl.
I'll lay out fine china on the linen
And polish up the chrome
and if you've got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

Black strap molasses,
you're my orange blossom honey bear.
Bring me Versace blue jeans
and black designer underwear.
We'll dress up like the disco-dancing
jet set in Milan and Rome.
And if you've got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

Oh the thrill of control,
like the rush of rock and roll,
is the sweetest taste I've known. Oh yah
so come on, Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

When honey bees go shopping
it's something to be seen.
They swarm to wild flowers
and get nectar for the queen.
And everything you bring me
got me dripping like a honeycomb
and if you've got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

Oh the thrill of control,
like the Blitzkrieg on the roll,
is the sweetest taste I've know oh yah.
If you've got some sugar
bring it home.Bah bah dabba dabba dabba do
Come on, Sugar Daddy, bring it home!

Whiskey and French cigarettes,
a motorbike with high-speed jets,
a Waterpik, a Cuisinart
and a hypo-allergenic dog.
I want all the luxuries of the modern age,
and every item on every page
in the Lillian Vernon catalogue.

Oh, Baby
Something crossed my mind
I was thinking you'd look so fine
In a velvet dress, with heels and ermine stole.

Oh, Luther, darling
Heaven knows
I've never put on women's clothes
Except for once my Mother's camisole

So you think only a woman
can truly love a man.
Well you buy me the dress
I'll be more woman
than a man like you can stand.
I'll be your Venus on a chocolate clam shell
rising on a sea of marshmallow foam
and if you got some sugar for me,
Sugar Daddy, bring it home.

It's our tradition to control,
like Erich Honecker and Helmut Kohl,
remember him
from the Ukraine to the Rhone.
Sweet home uber alles,
Lord, I'm coming home.yah
Come on, Sugar Daddy, bring me home.

The Thorns - No Blue Sky

Cold outside
But I don't blame the weather
No one's calling
No one's at the door
But I can't stay inside all day
Blinds pulled to the floor

There's no blue sky in my town lately
Everybody looks at the ground
And where I am is making me hazy
But the sun never looked so pretty going down

It ain't right
Feels like forever
So many changes, I stopped keeping score
But if you want me, you know where I will be
I don't get out much anymore

There's no blue sky in my town lately
Everybody looks at the ground
I've been distracted and dulled out, crazy
But the sun never looked so pretty going down
The sun never looked so pretty going down

Blue sky
Come find me
I'm waiting ah

Sun never looked so pretty
Sun never looked so pretty
Sun never looked so pretty

Cloud and rain, smoke and smog here
Won't see too many stars tonight
Biding time, waitin’ on a sunset
One last glance of gold, then goodbye

There's no blue sky in my town lately
Everybody looks at the ground
And where I am is making me hazy
But the sun never looked so pretty going down

There's no blue sky in my town lately
Everybody looks at the ground
I’ve been distracted and dulled out, crazy

But the sun never looked so pretty going down
The sun never looked so pretty going down

BTW Booty, Hedwig has some great songs. Would like to see the live show.

A former lover (omg I just used that phrase ! ) got me into Hedwig. And I think Origin might be my favourite song. To me its so epic and makes me smile in such a way like I'm complete

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.

Wig In a Box
Hediwg and The Angry Inch Soundtrack
Hedwig and the Angry Inch - 1999

On nights like this
when the world's a bit amiss
and the lights go down
across the trailer park
I get down
I feel had
I feel on the verge of going mad
and then it's time to punch the clock

I put on some make-up
and turn up the tape deck
and pull the wig down on my head
suddenly I'm Miss Midwest
Midnight Checkout Queen
until I head home
and put myself to bed

I look back on where I'm from
look at the woman I've become
and the strangest things
seem suddenly routine
I look up from my Vermouth on the rocks
a gift-wrapped wig still in the box
of towering velveteen.

I put on some make-up
and some LaVern Baker
and pull the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963
Until I wake up
And turn back to myself

Some girls they have natural ease
they wear it any way they please
with their French flip curls
and perfumed magazines
Wear it up
Let it down
This is the best way that I've found
to be the best you've ever seen

I put on some make-up
and turn up the eight-track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett
from TV
until I wake up
and turn back to myself

Shag, bi-level, bob
Dorothy Hammil do,
Sausage curls, chicken wings
It's all because of you
With your blow dried, feather back,
Toni home wave, too
flip, fro, frizz, flop,
It's all because of you
It's all because of you
It's all because of you

I put on some make-up
turn up the eight-track
I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm this punk rock star
of stage and screen
and I ain't never
I'm never turning back

Sugababes Hole In The Head

Seven hours since you went away
Eleven coffees, Rickki Lake on play
But late at night when I'm feeling blue
I'd sell my ass before I think of you

Seven hours since you closed the door
Started a diet, got a manicure
Erased your number from my telephone
And if you call me I won't be at home

[He said]
Bridge
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
Runaway
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
I said ok, 'cos...

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy,
And it's cool boy
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy,
Such a fool boy

Eleven hours on a brand new day
I'm getting ready to go out and play
It's late at night, I'm caught in a groove
I'd kiss my ass before I'm feeling blue

Seven hours, what you calling for?
A bunch of flowers and I slam the door
You're in my face, sorry what's your name?
Takes more than begging to reverse my brain
'cos...

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy,
And it's cool boy
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy,
Such a fool boy

I'm through with it
Over it
Not having it
Crazy sh*t
Not feeling this
Can't deal, I quit
No more, No more
I'm through with it
Not having it
This crazy sh*t
Not feeling it
Can't deal with it
No more, I quit
No more, no more

Breaking off the ...
A brand new day has just begun
Just because you made me go "ooh"
Doesn't mean I'll put up with you
Don't you dare come back
Can't u see I wont take that?
I ain't crying over you
Better fill your head up like I told you

[Bridge]
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
Runaway
Why don't you cry
For the day
Say goodbye
I said ok, 'cos...

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy,
And it's cool boy
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy,
Such a fool boy (such a fool)

[Chorus]
Ooh, won't you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy (I do)
And it's cool boy (yeah it's cool)
And ooh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy, (I do boy)
Such a fool boy (such a fool)

Midnight Radio
Hedwig and the Angry Inch Soundtrack
Hedwig and the Angry Inch 1999

rain falls hard
burns dry
dream, or a song
that hits you so hard
filling you up
suddenly gone
breathe feel love give free
know in your soul
like your blood knows the way
from your heart to your brain
knows that you're whole
and you're shining like the brightest star
a transmission on the midnight radio
and you're spinning like a 45 ballerina
dancing to your rock and roll
here's to patty and tina and yoko, aretha
and nona and nico
and me
and all the strange rock and rollers
you know you're doin alright
so hold on to each other
you gotta hold on tonight
and you're shining liek that brightest star
a transmission on the midnight radio
and you're spinning your new 45's
all the misfits and the losers
well you know your rock and rollers
spinning to your rock and roll
lift up your hands
lift up your hands
lift up your hands

Okay slightly more seriously... here's another one

It was the softness in your touch
on that warm September kiss that I remember most of all.
And it set us on a course, I could never quiet explain,
you see it may no sense at all.

We were just like chalk and cheese,
as different as could be,
But we let foolishness decide,
It seemed like worth the ride

For I was flying blind
and I was cut loose,
I knew I'd never see the shore,
it hardly matters anymore,
when you're flying blind
you're always on your own

It was the coldness in your voice
on that dark December day
we said goodbye that I recall.
You seemed so silently assured
As you walked away from me
I found that nothing broke my fall.

And as for my regrets,
I knew I'd lost the bet,
and you and I would never rhyme.
But I'd known it all the time

For I was flying blind
And I was cut loose
I knew I'd never see the shore
It hardly matters anymore
When you're flying blind
you're always on your own

This is all form memory so I may have gotten some words wrong here and there, but overall is as is.

Fine Line - Will Young
(these lyrics seem incredibly bland, naff and unimaginative in print. And yes scoff if you will that it is a B-side sung by the winner of a reality Tv competition. But most people I know who've heard this song admit to loving it and the impact the lyrics have when sung with such emotion and just some strings for accompaniment)

You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line

Don't pretend you don't see
What's in front of your eyes
We're scraping the gutter
Or we're touching the skies
There's times when I feel
I'm in the eye of a storm
But there's times when I feel
That we could fly up to the moon
To the moon

You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line

I know you agree that
We should try to work it out
It's too good to throw away
I never had a doubt
We're so good together
And there's nothing to prove
Seems we gotta learn
To take the rough times with the smooth
With the smooth

You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line
You're walking a fine line
You're living on borrowed time
You're walking a fine line

Colorblind - The Counting Crows

I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am taffy stuck and tongue tied
Stutter shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded and unfolded and unfolding
I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am fine

Last one I promise

AT MY MOST BEAUTIFUL
REM
I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

I read bad poetry
Into your machine
I save your messages
Just to hear your voice.
You always listen carefully
To awkwards rhymes.
You always say your name.
Like I woulden't know it's you
At your most beautiful.

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes secretly.
With every one, whisper I love you.
I let you sleep.
I know you're closed eye watching me,
Listening.
I thought I saw a smile.

I've found a way to make you
I've found a way
A way to make you smile

I Can't Make You Love Me
(George Michael)

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart, and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't

I'll close my eyes and then I won't see
The love you do not feel, when you're holding me
Morning will come, and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then, to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

And I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
And here in the dark in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't

Ain't no use in you trying
It's no good for me baby without love
All my tears, all these years, everything I believed in
Baby
Oh yeah
Someone's gonna love me

Slow - Kylie Minogue

Knew you'd be here tonight
So I put my best dress on
Boy I was so right

Our eyes connected
Now nothing's how it used to be
No second guesses

Track in on this feeling
Pull focus close up you and me
Nobody's leaving

Got me affected
Spun me 180 degrees
It's so electric

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Don't wanna rush it
Let the rhythm pull you in
It's here so touch it

You know what I'm saying
And I haven't said a thing
Keep the record playing

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Read my body language
Take it down, down

Slow down and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow
Come on and dance with me
Yeah, slow
Skip a beat and move with my body
Yeah, slow

Skip a beat and move with my body
Skip a beat and move with my body
Skip a beat and move with my body

99 Red Balloons
http://www.80smusiclyrics.com/images/nena.jpg


You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'till one by one they were gone
Back at base, sparks in the software
Flash the message "something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety nine red balloons go by

Ninety nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
And focusing it on the sky
The ninety nine red balloons go by

Ninety nine decisions treat
Ninety nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As Ninety nine red balloons go by

Ninety nine knights of the air
Ride super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
Ninety nine red balloons go by

As ninety nine red balloons go by

Ninety nine dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standing pretty
In this dust that was a city
If i could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go

I sang these three songs on the streets of Crok last night...

You And Me Song - The Wannadies

Always will we find
I tried to make you love
'Til everything's forgotten
I know you hate that

Bop badada, bop bop bop bop
Bop badada, bop bop bop bop

Always will we fight
Kiss you once or twice
And everything's forgotten
I know you hate that

I love your Sunday song
The week's not yet begun
And everything is quiet
And it's always

You and me
Always and forever
You and me
Always and forever

Bop bop bop bop bop
It was always
You and me
Always

You tell me I'm a real man
I try to look impressed
Not very convincing
But you know I love it

I know we watch TV
'Til we fall asleep
Not very exciting
But it's you and me

And we'll always
Be together
You and me
Always and forever

Bop bop bop bop bop
It was always
You and me
Always and forever
You and me
Always and forever

Bop bop bop bop bop
It was always
You and me
Always and forever
You and me
Always and forever

Bop bop bop bop bop
Aaah...

Leave Right Now - Will Young

I'm here just like I said
Though its breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I'd love to say I do
Give everything to you
But I can never now be true
So I say...


I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now


I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful
Perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs, at least I'm spared the lows

Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm
So I say..

I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now


I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say your right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again

I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

Yes I will...

I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

She Moved Through the Fair

My young love said to me,
My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you
For your lack of kind.
She stepped away from me
And this she did say,
"It will not be long love
Till our wedding day".

She stepped away from me
And she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here
And move there.
And she went her way homeward
With one star awake,
As the swan in the evening
Moved over the lake.

Last night she came to me,
My young love came in.
So softly she entered,
That her feet made no din.
And she came close beside me
And this she did say,
"It will not be long love
Till our wedding day".

21 Things I Want In A Lover - Alanis Morrisette

Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
Do you have a big intellectual capacity but know
That it alone does not equate wisdom?
Do you see everything as an illusion?
But enjoy it even though you are not of it?
Are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware?
And don't believe in capital punishment?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that
Loving someone can actually feel like freedom? are you funny?
la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many formed opinions?

These are 21 things that I want in a lover
Not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
These are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo
There are no worries and certainly no pressure in the meantime
I'll live like there's no tomorrow

Are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week?
Up for being experimental? are you athletic?
Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are you not addicted?
...curious and communicative...

"The Closest Thing To Crazy"
Artist Katie Melua


How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

CHORUS
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own.
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

CHORUS

...and being close to you, and being close to you.

Sugar Water by Cibo Matto

The velocity of time turns her voice into sugar water
I'm on a concrete way
The wind is blowing to the north-northwest
It smells like sands of the southern island
when a black cat crosses my path

A woman in the moon is a singing to the earth
A woman in the moon is a singing to the earth
la la la la la la la la la


I'm riding on a camel that has big eyes
The buildings are changing into coconut trees
Little by little

When a black cat crosses my path
A woman in the moon is a singing to the earth
A woman in the moon is a singing to the earth
la la la la la la la la la

We are takin sugar water showers.

I love this song from the Daybreaker album. Her writing is amazing...

Paris Train

Now you're sitting on a Paris train laughing at your own jokes again
Sun splits the trees into beautiful broken light
Never cry more tears than you could hold in your hands
When all the world's airbrushed it's a sacred bond of trust
Sometimes, sometimes I see right through the scenery
The first place that's on my mind the last place I find each time
Sometimes, I swim beyond the scenery
The last place that's on my mind
The first place I find each time

Now I'm sitting on a Paris train molten ash falls like rain
Fire burns the trees it's a beautiful fatality
Love the way you stand your ground sea moves as mercury
To break its perfect skin to dare to dive within

Sometimes, sometimes I see much more than is good for me
The first thing that's on my mind the last place I'd look each time
Sometimes, I slip inside the imagery and
The last thing that's on my mind's
The first thing I'll do each time

Stars racing to burn out
Just stars racing to burn out
A storm waiting to break
Like trees standing black against the sky
This was inevitable, inevitable
Sometimes, sometimes we can see beyond our history
The last place you hope to find the one that's been there all the time
Sometimes, sometimes we can swim beyond the scenery
And the first place that's on your mind
The first place you'd find each time

Mariah Carey - The Roof

It wasn't raining yet
But it was definitely a little misty on
That warm november night
And my heart was pounding
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face
To feel alive
And then you casually walked in the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark

Chorus

Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Verse

And so we finished the Moet and
started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me
In your arms
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet
So I threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
For such a long time
(And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and the pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain

Chorus

Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Bridge

Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)

Chorus

Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you caressing me)
And go back in time
(I go back)
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
(On the roof that rainy night)

Chorus

Every time I feel the need
(When I feel the need)
I envision you caressing me
(I envision you over and over and over again)
And go back in time
(I go back)
To relieve the splendor of you and I
(It was oh so sweet you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
(On that rainy night)

Chorus

Every time I feel the need
(Last night I had the strangest dream...)
I envision you caressing me
(It was actually quite symbolic)
And go back in time
(As I whispered...That I loved you)
To relieve the splendor of you and I
(...very subtly)

Chorus

Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Saying I love you
Is not the words i want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy
it would be to show me how you feel
More than words
is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say
That you love me
Cos I'd already know

Extreme, more than words. Weird lyrics with a nice tune.

id jump for you into the fire
id jump for you into the flame
tried to go forward in my life
i just feel shame, shame, shame

shame, shame, shame, shame is the shadow of love

and if you tell a lie
i still would take the blame
if you pass me by
its such a shame , shame ,shame.


Razorlight .. "girl with the golden touch" has been getting lot of airplay and think its really not a bad song at all..
