Lyrics that mean something

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
'Cause I’ve built my life around you

There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths

all of it.

Thanks all the same
But I just can’t bring myself to answer your letters
It’s not your fault
But your honesty touches me like a fire
The Polaroids that hold us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever
On St Swithin’s Day

Songbird - Fleetwood Mac

bloody adolescence

And my favourite song of all time:

[i]Shall I tell you about my life
They say I’m a man of the world
I’ve flown across every tide
And I’ve seen lots of pretty girls

I guess I’ve got everything I need
I would’t ask for more
And there’s no one I’d rather be
But I just wish that I’d never been born[/i]

break:

[i]And I need a good woman
to make me feel like a good man should
I don’t say I’m a good man
Oh, but I would be if I could

I could tell you about my life
And keep you amused I’m sure
About all the times I’ve cried
And how I don’t want to be sad anymore
And how I wish I was in love[/i]

[i]The temptation
To take the precious things we have apart
To see how they work
Must be resisted for they never fit together again

Most important decisions in life
Are made between two people in bed
I found that out at my expense[/i]

I thought you were dead you sad born-again Irish Bastard! If you are looking for meaning in song lyrics you may as well be fortune-telling using the stains in your undies. Enjoy music, but don’t think about anything too deeply! Next you’ll be telling us you’ve joined a travelling troupe of extreme Mime Artists!

…the third world is just around the corner…

name that tune

oh i am enjoying myself…!

The Angelic Upstarts:

I Don’t Wanna Fight The Soviet

I feel a sense of disbelief when I read the lies of Media Street.
What to do and when to hate. Come on, lads; let

From “She Left On A Monday” by Bic Runga,
Go to her, foolish man
What’s the use of having pride if you don’t have her

“Hallelujah” as performed by Rufus Wainwright,
Maybe there’s a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it’s not a cry you can hear at night
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

The entirety of “Dry Your Eyes” by The Streets

More to come.

Songbird makes me cry.

Look, I don’t give a toss what you call your favourite KTV whore and why she makes you cry. You need to harden up my son. Ask yourself “What would Keith Wood think?” I’m sick and tired of this Men’s Magazine kind of shit on Forumosa and I’m putting my foot down. Now that I’m living up in Taipei I’m in a position to find people!!! :fume:

I remember inviting you over to my place for some beers, but I have not heard from you. It wasn’t an Englishman’s invitation. Let me know when you have free-time and I’ll stock the fridge.

One Night Stand- by The Aloof
an epic of a tune,about 18 mins long:

What am I doing here
Your face is a mess
You walk by and give me room
And you put on your dress
I say I’ll see you soon and I
I’ll give you a call
I hear the door slam and feel nothing at all

What am I doing here
I’ve been here for weeks
Gotta get outta of this room and go
Go clean these sheets
Why am I lying here and with what was her name
I feel nothing at all I feel no shame

It’s another one night stand
Cause it makes me feel like a real man

Well I was kind of wondering whether you could help me out
With a problem that will kind of make you all scream and shout
It’s a problem that we face from time to time and place to place
Whenever they’re coming they’re bringing it back
And hipping and hopping and jumping to bass

And later
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the: Grammar
My my my my: MC Hammer
Mng mng mnggg: Stammer
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d: Jackhammer

(Included because a: favourite song, 2: they’re the only non-chorus/bridge lyrics I can discern, and d: I want to see if anyone actually recognises them :laughing:)

You can fuck off to the Girlie Man thread!!! Henceforth, please tell people that you are from Austraila (although I’ll settle for “Wellington”).

Meaningful non-girlie man lyrics:

[quote=“Tom T. Hall”]In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

I like beer. it makes me a jolly good fellow
I like beer. it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (makes him feel mellow)
Whiskey

More meaningful non-girlie man lyrics:

[quote=“Grateful Dead”]Loose Lucy is my delight
She comes running and we ball all night
Round and round and round and round
Don’t take much to get me on the ground
She’s my yo-yo, I’m her string
Listen to the birds on the hot wire sing

Chorus
Singing yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Singing thank you, for a real good time

I got jumped coming home last night
Shadow in the alley turned out all my lights
Round and round and round and round
Don’t take much to get me on the ground
Loose Lucy, she was sore
Says I know you can’t want my love no more,

[chorus]

Bebop baby, how can this be
I know you’ve been out a cheating on me
Round and round and round and round
Don’t take much to get the word around
Cross my heart and hope to die
I was just hanging out with the other guys

[chorus]

Went back home with two black eyes
You know I’ll love her till the day I die
Round and round and round and round
Don’t take much to get the word around
I like your smile but I ain’t your type
Don’t shake the tree when the fruit ain’t ripe

[chorus]

And yet more meaningful non girlie man lyrics:

[quote=“Grateful Dead”]We can share the women
We can share the wine
We can share what we got of yours
'Cause we done shared all of mine

Keep a rolling
Just a mile to go
Keep on rolling, my old buddy
You’re moving much too slow

I just jumped the watchman
Right outside the fence
Took his ring, four bucks in change
Now ain’t that heaven sent?

Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon
Burns my eyes to see
Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon
Might as well be me

We used to play for silver
Now we play for life
One’s for sport and one’s for blood
At the point of a knife
Now the die is shaken
Now the die must fall
There ain’t a winner in this game
Who don’t go home with all
Not with all…

Leaving Texas
Fourth day of July
Sun so hot, clouds so low
The eagles filled the sky

Catch the Detroit Lightning
Out of Santa Fe
Great Northern out of Cheyenne
From sea to shining sea

Gotta get to Tulsa
First train we can ride
Got to settle one old score
And one small point of pride…

Ain’t no place a man can hide, Shannon
Keep him from the sun
Ain’t no bed will give us rest, man,
You keep us on the run

Jack Straw from Wichita
Cut his buddy down
Dug for him a shallow grave
And layed his body down

Half a mile from Tucson
By the morning light
One man gone and another to go
My old buddy you’re moving much too slow

We can share the women
we can share the wine…

[quote]DEF LEPPARD - Rock! Rock! Till You Drop
Hold onto your hat, hold onto your heart
Ready, get set to tear this place apart
Don’t need a ticket, only place in town
That’ll take you up to heaven and never bring you down
Anything goes! Anything goes!

Women to the left, Women to the right
There to entertain and take you thru the night
So grab a little heat and come along with me
'Cause your mama don’t mind what your mama don’t see
Anything goes! Anything goes!

Rock! Rock! till you drop
Rock! Rock! never stop
Rock! Rock! till you drop
I say Rock! Rock! to the top

Ridin’ into danger, laughin’ all the way
Fast, free and easy, livin’ for today
Gotta lip service, get it while you can
Hot, sweat ‘n’ nervous love on demand
Anything goes! Anything goes!

Rock! Rock! Give it to me
It’s what I got goin’ thru’ me
Don’t ever stop do it to me
Yeah, Rock! Rock! You really move me

Hold on, hold on, hold tight
We’re gonna rock tonight
Too loud man, too loud
[/quote]

Ok, girly man song :stuck_out_tongue:

[quote]Truly Madly Deeply
I’ll be your dream
I’ll be your wish I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I’m counting on

A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky,
I’ll make a wish, SEND IT to heaven and make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we’re surrounded by the comfort and protection of

The highest powers
In lonely hours
And the tears devour you

I want to stand with you on a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

Oh can’t you see it baby?
Don’t have to close your eyes
'Cause it’s standing right before you
All that you need will surely come

ooooohh ye-eah

I’ll be your dream I’ll be your wish
I’ll be your fantasy
I’ll be your hope I’ll be your love
Be everything that you need
I’ll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me[/quote]

We might as well meet up in Alleycat’s as everytime I go there you’re propping up the bar…! I’ll bring my Cat Stevens collection and a box of tissues. We can have a good manly cry together. :laughing:

Green Acres is the place to be.
Farm Livin’ is the life for me.
Land spreading out so far and wide.
Keep Manhattan just give me that country side.
