katie melua actually, have gotten into some of her stuff recently, she has a lovely voice. :D
There is nobody here tonight, who doesn’t dance to the same tune as I
Looking for that special someone new, and hey babe it might as well be youAnd as I fumble through my change, the dance floor illuminates
And there you are again
I’m looking for someone to hold on to
And hey, babe, it might as well be youIt might as well be you that I wake up to tomorrow
And it might as well be you that tonight whispers my name
And it might as well be you that I cling to, that I laugh with and sing to
That I kiss good-bye to never see again
And through the fog that love creates the night is filled with all the usual mistakes
they say you’re looking lonely babe, and they’ve been looking too
And hey, they might well be for youAnd by the light of cigarettes, we introduce ourselves in a way you don’t forget
I’m looking for something and anything will do
So, hey babe, it might as well be youAnd if we go home tonight, you might find the very thing
That come the morning light, might well have washed your mind of him
So let me in tonight so we two losers might start to winIt might as well be you that I wake up to tomorrow
And it might as well be you that tonight will call my name
And it might as well be you that I cling to, that I laugh with and sing to
Yeah babe, it might as well be you that reminds me
It was once her here beside me
That I kissed good-bye, to never see againDel Amitri ~ It Might As Well Be You
Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop.i absolutly adore this song, in all its incarnations, from billie holiday and ella fitzgerald’s versions to the souixie and the banshees version.
:lol: @ incarnations. I am still trying to imagine you covered in them :shock: :wink:
When I was young it came to me
And I could see the sun breakin’
Lucy was high and so was I dazzling
Holding the world inside
Once I believed in ev’ryone
Ev’ryone and anyone can seeOh oh the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh oh the night comes down
Oooh and it’s dark againOnce I could laugh with ev’ryone
Once I could see the good in me
The black and the white distinctively colouring
Holding the world inside
Now all the world is grey to me
Nobody can see you gotta believe itOh oh the night comes down
And I get afraid of losing my way
Oh oh the night comes down
Oooh and it’s dark again
And it’s dark again
And it’s dark againQueen ~ The Night Comes Down
I won’t spend my life, waiting for an angel to descend,
searching for a rainbow with an end,
now that I’ve found you
I’ll call off the search.and I won’t spend my life, gazing at the stars up in the sky
wondering if love will pass me by
now that I’ve found you
I’ll call off the searchOut on my own I would never have known
this world that I see today
and I’ve got a feeling
it won’t fade awayand I won’t end my days, wishing that love would come along,
cause you are in my life where you belong
now that I’ve found you
I’ll call off the searchI adore this song. :)
Poshy – Love that Song! Love Dylan as well.
There’s a lady who’s sure
All that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven.There’s a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
’cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
There’s a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.There’s a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.And it’s whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow
Don’t be alarmed now,
It’s just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There’s still time to change the road you’re on.
And it makes me wonder.Your head is humming and it won’t go
In case you don’t know,
The piper’s calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev’rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.And she’s buying a stairway to heaven.
Led Zeppelin
Yes, I’m sure I’ve posted this before – But I really like the song :roll:
A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to faceA million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your faceI still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my headI may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune’s child to judge another’s crimes
Or wear this pilgrim’s cloak, or be a common thief
I’ve kept this single faith, I have but one beliefI still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid

Laughing InsideWhen I first saw you
I tried to ignore you
Because I knew
You’d haunt me
Until we grew
In my mind
An obsession
I just couldn’t subdue
But now it’s an avalance we ride
Head over heels into Eden
Laughing inside
With you the female
An imprint in detail
To fit my male
So perfectly
Like fairy tale
Patterns of fate
That had to prevail
But now it’s an avalance we ride
Head over heels into Eden
Laughing inside
And it used to be hard
So hard to live
So scared
Running away from loveI think Roy Harper, like Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, is a true romantic at heart. There’s probably a few more in my record collection..I’ll have a looksee one day soon
