My fav Paul Simon lyrics are about traveling through New Mexico, of course!

Hearts and Bones

One and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together
In the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ Mountains
Of New Mexico
On the last leg of the journey
They started a long time ago
The arc of a love affair
Rainbows in the high desert air
Mountain passes slipping into stones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married
The act was outrageous
The bride was contagious
She burned like a bride
These events may have had some effect
On the man with the girl by his side
The arc of a love affair
His hands rolling down her hair
Love like lightning shaking till it moans
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
And whoa whoa whoa
She said:
Why?
Why don't we drive through the night
And we'll wake up down in Mexico
Oh I
I don't know nothin' about nothin'
About Mexico
And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
Where I am
He said:
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby
This is how I love you, baby
This is how I love you, baby
One and one-half wandering Jews
Return to their natural courses
To resume old acquaintances
Step out occasionally
And speculate who had been damaged the most
Easy time will determine if these consolations
Will be their reward
The arc of a love affair
Waiting to be restored
You take two bodies and you twirl them into one
Their hearts and their bones
And they won't come undone
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones
Hearts and bones

had to sit and sing it to myself. ; )
good one Danlo.

[Fist and Faith]

This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story now, my love


One of a thousand songs that I love, but don't know the lyrics. Heh. But easy enough to figure out what tune those words fit to once you said who it was.

[I'm Murrin]

Keep the noise low.
/She doesn't wanna blow it.
Shaking head to toe while your left hand does "the show me around."
/Quickens your heartbeat.
It beats me straight into the ground.

You don't recover from a night like this.
/A victim, still lying in bed, completely motionless.
A hand moves in the dark to a zipper.
/Hear a boy bracing tight against sheets barely whisper, "This is so messed up."

Upon arrival the guests had all stared.
/Dripping wet and clearly depressed, he'd headed straight for the stairs.
No longer cool, but a boy in a stitch,
/unprepared for a life full of lies and failing relationships.

(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)

He keeps his hands low.
/He doesn't wanna blow it.
He's wet from head to toe and his eyes give her the up and the down.
/His stomach turns and he thinks of throwing up.
But the body on the bed beckons forward and he starts growing up.

The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
(Die young and save yourself.)
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
(Die young and save yourself.)

She hits the lights.
/This doesn't seem quite fair.
Despite everything he learned from his friends, he doesn't feel so prepared.
/She's breathing quiet and smooth.
He's gasping for air.
/"This is the first and last time," he says.
She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his.
/He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
He's holding back from telling her exactly what it really feels like.

He is the lamb,
/she is the slaughter.
She's moving way too fast and all he wanted was to hold her.
/Nothing that he tells her is really having an effect.
He whispers that he loves her, but she's probably only looking for sss...

(Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.)

...So much more than he could ever give.
/A life free of lies and a meaningful relationship.
He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides.
/He waits for it to end and for the aching in his guts to subside.

The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
(Die young and save yourself.)
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
(Die young and save yourself.)

Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.

The fever, the focus.
The reasons that I had to believe you weren't too hard to sell.
(Die young and save yourself.)
The tickle, the taste of...
It used to be the reason I breathed but now it's choking me up.
(Die young and save yourself.)

[Haruchai]

My second fav song of all time:

Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words that melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My Muñequita, my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove
Yeah, yeah

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth yeah,
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio, you hear my rhythm like a radio
You feel the turning of the world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round round, yeah

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin' that could be so smooth
Give me your heart
Make it real
Or else forget about it

[Furls Fire]

Okay, all you crooners out there, here's something from Ole Blue Eyes himself. Damelon inspired this one the other night in chat.

One For My Baby...

It's quarter to three,
there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe,
I got a little story you oughta know
We're drinkin', my friend,
to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
and one more for the road

I got the routine,
so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feelin' so bad,
wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
Could tell you a lot,
but you've got to be true to your code
So, make it one for my baby
and one more for the road

You'd never know it but buddy,
I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy,
you simply gotta listen to me
Till it's all talked away

Well that's how it goes
and Joe,
I know your gettin' pretty anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer,
I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear
This torch that I found must be drowned
or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby
and one more for the road
That long, long road

[danlo]

Cool song Furls! My fav Sinatra is The Summer Wind (even tho... it's been palyed to death in Visa commercials). Smooth is such a great song Haruchai! Rob Thomas and Santana seriously kick on that-the video's awesome too (my little sister, who lives in New York swears she's in it somehwere [for about 1/2 a second or so... ])...another great "keeping cool and hot in the Summer" song.

[duchess of malfi]

This song always makes me laugh whenever I hear it on the radio, like I did driving home tonight. But it might make the censors nervous, so I am going to put in spoiler format. LF or Syl can change that if they wish.

I'm [ever | rather] upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
The social pages say I've got
The biggest balls of all

CHORUS:
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls
And she's got big balls
But we've got the biggest balls of them all

And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody cums and cums again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got
Great balls of fire

CHORUS

Some balls are held for charity
And some for fancy dress
But when they're held for pleasure
They're the balls that I like best
My balls are always bouncing
To the left and to the right
It's my belief that my big balls
Should be held every night

CHORUS

And I'm just itching to tell you about them
Oh we had such wonderful fun
Seafood cocktail, crabs, crayfish...

Ball sucker

[/spoiler]

[Haruchai]

LOL Duchess!! Funny song.

I think this song is funny:

Bruce's Philosiphers Song

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.

David Hume could out-consume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel, (or Schoppenhauer and Hagel in some versions)

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.

Plato, they say, could stick it away--
Half a crate of whiskey every day.

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And René Descartes was a drunken fart.
'I drink, therefore I am.'

Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.

Hmmmm.. Maybe I should start a funny song thread.

[[Syl]]

I figure if they can play it on the radio... always one of my AC/DC favorites.

The Last Trip to Tulsa-Neil Young

Well, I used to drive a cab,
you know
I heard a siren scream
Pulled over to the corner
And I fell into a dream
There were
two men eating pennies
And three young girls who cried
The West coast is falling,
I see rocks in the sky.
The preacher took his bible
And laid it on the stool.
He said: with
the congregation running,
Why should I play the fool?

Well, I used to be a woman,
you know
I took you for a ride,
I let you fly my airplane
It looked good for your pride.
'Cause you're
the kind of man you know
Who likes what he says.
I wonder what's it's like
To be so far over my head.
Well, the lady made the wedding
And she brought along the ring.
She got down on her knees
And said: Let's
get on with this thing.

Well, I used to be a folk singer
Keeping managers alive,
When you saw me on a corner
And told me I was jive.
So I unlocked your mind, you know
To see what I could see.
If you guarantee the postage,
I'll mail you back the key.
Well I woke up in the morning
With an arrow through my nose
There was an Indian in the corner
Tryin' on my clothes.

Well, I used to be asleep
you know
With blankets on my bed.
I stayed there for a while
'Til they discovered I was dead.
The coroner was friendly
And I liked him quite a lot.
If I hadn't 've been a woman
I guess I'd never have been caught.
They gave me back my house and car
And nothing more was said.

Well, I was driving
down the freeway
When my car ran out of gas.
Pulled over to the station
But I was afraid to ask.
The servicemen were yellow
And the gasoline was green.
Although I knew I couldn't
I thought that I was gonna scream.
That was on my last trip to Tulsa
Just before the snow.
If you ever need a ride there,
Be sure to let me know.

I was chopping down a palm tree
When a friend dropped by to ask
If I would feel less lonely
If he helped me swing the axe.
I said: No, it's
not a case of being lonely
We have here,
I've been working on this palm tree
For eighty seven years
I said: No, it's
not a case of being lonely
We have here,
I've been working on this palm tree
For eighty seven years
He said: Go get lost!
And walked towards his Cadillac.
I chopped down the palm tree
And it landed on his back.

[Fist and Faith]

This one's for Furls Fire

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world's addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring the trauma
Overseas, yeah, we tryin' to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love, the love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in
People keep on givin' in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (Love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where the love, the love, the love

I feel the weight of the world over my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infectin' the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids want to act like what they see in the cinema
Yo, whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

Now ask yourself,
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Where is the love
Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love

Now sing with me yall,
one world, one world (we only got)
one world, one world (thats all we got)
one world, one world
and somethings wrong with it (yeah)
somethings wrong with it (yeah)
somethings wrong with the w-w-world
We only got (one world, one world)
Thats all we got (one world, one world)


That's a very cool example of rap called Where is the Love, by The Black Eyed Peas. Some excellent lyrics! My favorite line is
If you never know truth then you never know love

Album Title: Frank Sinatra: The Reprise Collection, Disc 2
Prime Artist: Frank Sinatra
Arranger: Quincy Jones

Lyrics by: Carolyn Leigh
Music by: Cy Coleman
Orchestra: Count Basie (William)

Lyrics:
Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything's startin' to hum
Still, it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come

Best is yet to come and babe, won't that be fine?
You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine

a-Wait till the warm-up's underway
Wait till our lips have met
And wait till you see that sunshine day
You ain't seen nothin' yet

The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
Best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine
I'm gonna teach you to fly
We've only tasted the wine
We're gonna drain the cup dry

Wait till your charms are right for these arms to surround
You think you've flown before, but baby, you ain't left the ground

a-Wait till you're locked in my embrace
Wait till I draw you near
a-Wait till you see that sunshine place
Ain't nothin' like it here

The best is yet to come and babe, won't it be fine?
The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine

Come the day you're mine
And you're gonna be mine

Subterranean Homesick Alien

by Radiohead

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They're all uptight
Uptight.. (x7)

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..

I'm just uptight
Uptight.. (x7)

I think this song is funny:

Bruce's Philosiphers Song

Rock And Roll Mcdonalds
by Wesley Willis


McDonalds is the place to rock
It is a restaurant where they buy food to eat
It is a good place to listen to the music
People flock here to get down to the rock music


Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds

McDonalds will make you fat
They serve Big Macs
They serve Quarter Pounders
They will put pounds on you

Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds

McDonalds hamburgers are the worst
They are worse than Burger King
A Big Mac has 26 grams of fat
A Quarter Pounder has 28 grams of fat

Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds
Rock and roll McDonalds

Rock over London
Rock on Chicago
Wheaties the breakfast of champions

[Chrysalis]

2 lots of lyrics I really like:

My Happiness-Powderfinger

I see your shadow on the street now
I hear you push through the rusty gate
Click of your heels on the concrete
Waiting for a knock coming way too late
It seems an age since I’ve seen you
Countdown as the weeks trickle into days
So you come in and put your bags down
I know there’s something in the air
How can I do this to you right now
If you’re over there when I need you here
My happiness is slowly creeping back
Now you’re at home
If it ever starts sinking in
It must be when you pack up and go
It seems an age since I’ve seen you
Countdown as the weeks trickle into days
I hope that time hasn’t changed you
All I really want is for you to stay
I know I know I know what is inside

Iris-Goo Goo Dolls

Iris
And I’d give up forever to touch you
’cause I know that you feel me somehow
You’re the closest to heaven that i’ll
Ever be
And I don’t want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
’cause sooner or later it’s over
I just don’t want to miss you tonight

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand
When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t
Coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive

And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand

When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don’t want the world to see me
’cause I don’t think that they’d
Understand

When everything’s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

[I'm Murrin]

In one single moment your whole life can turn 'round
I stand there for a minute starin’ straight into the ground
Lookin’ to the left slightly, then lookin’ back down
World feels like it’s caved in – proper sorry frown
Please let me show you where we could only just be, for us
I can change and I can grow or we could adjust
The wicked thing about us is we always have trust
We can even have an open relationship, if you must
I look at her she stares almost straight back at me
But her eyes glaze over like she’s lookin’ straight through me
Then her eyes must have closed for what seems an eternity
When they open up she’s lookin’ down at her feet

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

So then I move my hand up from down by my side
It's shakin’, my life is crashin’ before my eyes
Turn the palm of my hand up to face the skies
Touch the bottom of her chin and let out a sigh
‘Cause I can’t imagine my life without you and me
There’s things I can’t imagine doin’, things I can’t imagine seein’
It weren't supposed to be easy, surely
Please, please, I beg you please
She brings her hands up towards where my hands rested
She wraps her fingers round mine with the softness she’s blessed with
She peels away my fingers, looks at me and then gestures
By pushin’ my hand away to my chest, from hers

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

And I’m just standin’ there, I can’t say a word
‘Cause everythin’s just gone
I’ve got nothin’
Absolutely nothin’

Tryin’ to pull her close out of bare desperation
Put my arms around her tryin’ to change what she’s sayin’
Pull my head level with hers so she might engage in
Look into her eyes to make her listen again
I’m not gonna fuckin’, just fuckin’ leave it all now
‘Cause you said it'd be forever and that was your vow
And you’re gonna let our things simply crash and fall down
You’re well out of order now, this is well out of town
She pulls away, my arms are tightly clamped round her waist
Gently pushes me back and she looks at me straight
Turns around so she’s now got her back to my face
Takes one step forward, looks back, and then walks away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now
It’s over

I know in the past I’ve found it hard to say
Tellin’ you things, but not tellin’ straight
But the more I pull on your hand and say
The more you pull away

Dry your eyes mate
I know it’s hard to take but her mind has been made up
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
Dry your eyes mate
I know you want to make her see how much this pain hurts
But you’ve got to walk away now.

WOW!!! That is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm not a fan of RAP at all, but I think I would like to hear this one. (provided I will be able to understand what they are saying)

[Worm of Despite]

San Tropez
by Pink Floyd

As I reach for a peach
Slide a rind down behind a sofa in San Tropez
Breaking a stick with a brick in on the sand
Riding a wave in the wake of an old sedan
Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness
Scratched by the sand that fell from my love
Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling
"If you're alone, I'll come home"

Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the dove
Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane
Born in a home with no silver soon
I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon
Sooner than wait for a break in the weather
I'll gather my far flung thoughts together
Speeding away on the wind to a new day
If you're alone, I'll come home

And I'll pause for a while by a country stile
And I'll listen to the things they say
Digging for gold in a hole in my hand
Open the book, take a look at the way things stand
And you're leading me down to the place by the sea
I hear your soft voice calling to me
Making a date for later by phone
And if you're alone, I'll come home
