Bing Crosby - White Christmas (yuck)

What do you say when it's over
I don't know if I should say anything at all
One day we're rollin' in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall

Still, I think about the years since I first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And I don't know if words from me can still upset you
But I've just gotta make this memory stand clear

I know I'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can
And I'm leavin here a better man

I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you
But I'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be

Still I'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can
And I'm leavin' here a better man

I'm reviving this thread! Here's an easy one to get going again...

Do you really think
She'll pull through ?
Do you really think
She'll pull through ?
Pull Through ...
As I whisper my last goodbyes
I know - IT'S SERIOUS

Why haven't I seen this yet? I was just about to revive it.

Smiths - Girlfriend in a Coma (goog'd, but I like the Smiths)

To be lost in a forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book

...

Don't get offended if I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts and keep making me smile

...

I'll be yours
I'll pay for you
Anytime


(all one song, just different sections of the lyrics)

Bloc Party - This modern love (googled)


In the corner
Of my eye
I saw you in Rudy's
You were very high
You were high
It was a cryin' disgrace
They saw your face

On the counter
By your keys
Was a book of numbers
And your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow

I can't cry anymore
While you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it's
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

Black Cow by Steely Dan...did you post that up for me? It's a cow song AND a Steely Dan song!

This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Then sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose

Take the Money and Run - Steve Miller Band

Tearing through the cottonfields and bus shelters
of the South running helter skelter
down through the MississippI delta
with no place to call your own
mixing up drinks with mixed feelings
all along the paint was peeling
down to an Indian blanket on a pony
with no rider in the flesh and bone

John Hiatt - Buffalo River Home (goog'd)

At my bedside, empty pocket, a foot without a
sock
Your body gets much closer
I fumble for the clock, alarmed by
The seduction
I wish that it would stop

Tempted by Squeeze.

It's gettin' near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

Cream- Sunshine of your Love!!!1!!11!

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was ...

What A Fool Believes by The Doobie Brothers. It's a great song but I had to google it. I've listened to it a million times and never realized there's actually words in it. Image

Here's an easy one:
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.

Welcome Home - King Diamond (goog'd)

I sat alone and I didn't care
I sat two years in the same old chair
I saw three roads and I didn't know
Which way to go-go-go

I need some help from a little love
I need some help from a little above
And you were there I'm still in love

Come on peeps, this is a fun thread.

Same band, different song

And I can't understand when things turned gray
I'm not who I was in the morning
And there's a million reasons that I'd like you to stay
Tried to utter the words while you're falling


I'm going through girls
And pushing through crowds
And she knows I'm looking for her
And I'm going through hell
Through the darkest sides of myself
I only want what I can't have


I only want
I only want her today
I only want what I can't have
I only, I only want her today
I only want what I can't have

Stellastarr - A Million Reasons (googled)

Dude, nobody's heard of Stellastarr.

Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye, let my people go

Holy Moses on a mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
Yeah, he's just gonna break them in half

The Hooters - All You Zombies (Googled)

-------

Some people are looking for the fountain of youth
And others are lookin' for some kinda truth
Some people like to sit in darkness
And others like to light up a fire storm

We got to get out to believe
Tomorrow is never guaranteed

It might hurt just a little bit
While I'm tryin' to figure it out
I'm on this ride for the thrill of it
Livin' the dream that's what life's all about

Workin' it out
