If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talkingand the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i’m looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion’cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
but it’s all just a bunch of matter
’cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and goldi looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but blacki feel a way of something beyond them
i don’t see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn’t real’cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
but it’s all just a bunch of matter
’cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and goldSam Sparra Black and Gold I was quite surprised when I actually listened to the lyrics, as I dont think much of it as a song the way its sang by him.

I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen25 July, 2008 at 9:18 am #139764BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY´S-MOON RIVER
Moon River, wider than a mile,
I’m crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you’re going I’m going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There’s such a lot of world to see.
We’re after the same rainbow’s end–
waiting ’round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

I cant remember anything
Cant tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops meNow that the war is through with me
Im waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain nowHold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake meBack in the womb its much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But cant look forward to reveal
Look to the time when Ill liveFed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from meHold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone Im just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help meDarkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cellLandmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell25 July, 2008 at 4:15 pm #139766Well it’s a big big city and it’s always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me you your name
Is it out of line if I were simply bold to say “Would you be mine”?Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream
Now it’s 3 o’clock time it takes for you to talkSo if you’re lonely why’d you say your not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It’s just like you to come
And go you know me no you don’t even know me
Your so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you’s just irresistibleWell it’s a big big city and the lights are all out
But it’s much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts in broken pieces
And my heads a mess
And it’s 4 in the morning, and I’m walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it’s you, woo hoo
That’s got me going crazy for the things you doSo if your crazy I don’t care you amaze me
Oh your a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it’s a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me’s just irresistibleSo if your lonely, why’d you say you’re not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It’s just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don’t even know me
Your so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you’s just irresistible[/i]The Fratellis ~ Whistle for the Choir[/i] 8)
25 July, 2008 at 7:00 pm #139767Because the Night – Patti Smith Group
Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close, try and understand
Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe
Love is a banquet on which we feedCome on now try and understand
The way I feel when I’m in your hands
Take my hand come undercover
They can’t hurt you now,
Can’t hurt you now, can’t hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to lust
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to usHave I doubt when I’m alone
Love is a ring, the telephone
Love is an angel disguised as lust
Here in our bed until the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel under your command
Take my hand as the sun descends
They can’t touch you now,
Can’t touch you now, can’t touch you now
Because the night belongs to lovers …With love we sleep
With doubt the vicious circle
Turn and burns
Without you I cannot live
Forgive, the yearning burning
I believe it’s time, too real to feel
So touch me now, touch me now, touch me now
Because the night belongs to lovers …Because tonight there are two lovers
If we believe in the night we trust
Because tonight there are two lovers …25 July, 2008 at 10:59 pm #139768This is one of my favourite U2 numbers.
A tale of two firey souls and their uber passion by a certain seashore.I dedicate this to all Mermaids .. :wink:
The sea it swells like a sore head
And the night it is aching
Two lovers lie with no sheets on their bed
And the day it is breakingOn rainy days we’d go swimming out
On rainy days swimming in the sound
On rainy days we’d go swimming outYou’re in my mind all of the time
I know that’s not enough
If the sky can crack there must be some way back
For love and only loveElectrical Storm
Electrical Storm
Baby don’t cryCar alarm won’t let you back to sleep
You’re kept awake dreaming someone else’s dream
Coffee is cold but it’ll get you through
Compromise that’s nothing new to you
Let’s see colours that have never been seen
Let’s go to places no one else has beenYou’re in my mind all of the time
I know that’s not enough
Well if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only loveElectrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical storm
Baby don’t cryIt’s hot as hell honey in this room
Sure hope the weather will break soon
The air is heavy
Heavy as a truck
We need the rain to wash away our bad luckWell if the sky can crack there must be some way back
To love and only loveElectrical storm
Electrical storm
Electrical stormBaby don’t cry
Baby don’t cry
Baby don’t cry
Baby don’t cry26 July, 2008 at 12:51 pm #139769Wham! Bam! my cat Splash
lies on my bed with his tongue puffed out
by drinking all my whisky.
As for me, not enough sleep, drained, persecuted,
I had to sleep in the gutter
where I had a flash
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
in four coloursAllez-oop! One morning
a darling came to my home,
a cellophane puppet with Chinese hair,
a plaster, a hangover,
drank my beer in a large rubber glass
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
like an Indian in his iglooThis works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This work for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for meAllez-oop! The chick, what a gas!
what a vibration!
to be sent on the door mat
filed, ruined, drained, filled
You are the King of the divan!
she says to me in passing
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I am the King of the divanThis works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This works for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for meAllez-oop! Don’t mind, don’t worry
Don’t affect me
It’s not today
that the sky will fall on my head
and I’ll be without glue
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This life’s for meAllez-oop! my chick has gone away,
flew away, finally had enough, to break
the sink, the bar, leaving me alone
like a complete jerk
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I’ve put my foot in itThis works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me
This works for me
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
This works for me
This works for me, this works for me
This works for me me me me me26 July, 2008 at 1:04 pm #139770Sittin’ in the mornin’ sun
I’ll be sittin’ when the evenin’ come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch ’em roll away again, yeahI’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I’m just sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ timeI left my home in Georgia
Headed for the ‘Frisco bay
‘Cause I’ve had nothing to live for
And look like nothin’s gonna come my waySo I’m just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ timeLook like nothing’s gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can’t do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I’ll remain the same, yesSittin’ here resting my bones
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
It’s two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my homeNow, I’m just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin’ on the dock of the bay
Wastin’ time26 July, 2008 at 2:09 pm #139771sad song but i like it , had a stevie wonder cd on earlier aint heard it for ages …..
Lately I have had this strangest feeling,
with no vivd reasons here to find.
Yet the thought of losing’s been hanging, round my mind…
Far more frequently you’re wearing perfume,
with you say, “No special place to go”
But when I ask will you be coming back soon,
you don’t know, never know.Chorus:
Well, I’m a man of many wishes,
I hope my premonition misses,
but what I really feel, my eyes won’t let me hide,
cause they always start to cry.
cause it’s time could mean goodbye.2nd Verse:
Lately I’ve been staring in the mirror,
very slowly picking me apart.
Tryin’ to tell myself I have no reason, with your heart.
Just the other night while you were sleeping,
I vaguely heard you whisper someone’s name.
But when I ask you of the thoughts you’re keeping,
you just say, nothing’s changed.repeat Chorus twice.
