Vincent ~ Don Mclean

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

look out on a summer’s day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils

catch the breeze and the winter chills

in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how

perhaps they’ll listen now.

Starry
starry night
flaming flo’rs that brightly blaze

swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent’s eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain

weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist’s
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they’ll listen now.

For they could not love you
but still your love was true

and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.

Starry
starry night
portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes
that watch the world and can’t forget.
Like the stranger that you’ve met

the ragged men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity

how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they’re not
list’ning still
perhaps they never will.

Forever Autumn – Justin Hayward

The summer sun is fading as the year grows old,
and darker days are drawing near,
the winter winds will be much colder,
now you’re not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
and one by one they disappear
I wish that I was flying with them,
now you’re not here

like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

through autumns golden gown we used to kick our way
you always loved this time of year
those fallen leaves lie undisturbed now
cos you’re not here x 3

like the sun through the trees you came to love me
like a leaf on a breeze you blew away

a gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
as if to hide a lonely tear
my life will be forever autumn
cos you’re not here x 6

[Esmeralda]

Hall & Oates – Family Man

[Sgt Pepper]

An exceptional song. An absolute masterpiece.. with one of the best videos ever created.

Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Rows of houses
All bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole

Fade out again
Fade out

This machine will
Will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child
Form a circle
Before we all go under

Fade out again
Fade out again

Cracked eggs
Dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death
Can see it’s beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole

Fade out again
Fade out again

Immerse yourself in love
Immerse yourself in love

Radiohead

Cant Stand Me Now ~ The Libertines 8)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2oTuxXjbO4

An ending fitting for the start
You twist and tore our love apart
Your light fingers threw the dart
Shattered the lamp into darkness it cast us…

No, you’ve got it the wrong way round
Just shocked me up and blamed it on the brown
Cornered the boy kicked out at the world,
The world kicked back a lot fuckin’ harder…

If you wanna try, If you wanna try
There’s no worse you could do (oh oh oh)
I know you lie, I know you lie
I’m still in love with you (oh oh oh)

Can’t take me anywhere (I’ll take you anywhere)
You can’t take me anywhere (I can’t take you anywhere)
I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go!

Oh, you can’t stand me now (No, you can’t stand me now)
You can’t stand me now (Oh, you can’t stand me now)
You can’t stand me now (No, you can’t stand me now)
You can’t stand me now,
You can’t stand me now!

Have we enough to keep it together?
Or do we just keep on pretending
And hope our luck is never ending
You tried to pull the wool, I wasn’t feeling too clever
And you take all that they’re lending
Until you needed mending…

If you wanna try, If you wanna try
there’s no worse you could do (oh oh oh)
I know you lie, all you do is make me cry
And all these words they aint true (oh oh)

I can’t take me anywhere (I can’t take you anywhere)
You can’t take me anywhere (I’ll take you anywhere)
I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go!

Oh, you can’t stand me now (No, you can’t stand me now)
You can’t stand me now (Oh, you can’t stand me now)
You can’t stand me now (No, you can’t stand me now)
You can’t stand me now (No, you can’t stand me now)
You can’t stand me now!
You can’t stand me now!
You can’t stand me now!
No, you can’t stand me now!
You can’t stand me now!
You can’t stand me now!
No, you can’t stand me now!
