CAUSE WE'VE ENDED AS LOVERS

Sneaking kisses in the hall

Parting love notes are on the wall

Been each other's all and all each day

Lovers walking in the rain

So close we felt each other's pain

But now you say that love has died away

*'Cause we've ended now as lovers

Doesn't mean that we each other can't be friends

'Cause we've ended now as lovers

Does our love for one another have to end

I remember teaching you

On piano 'Tea for Two'

And how playing it wrong I kissed your hand

But when our love has gone and passed

Why does the good exceed the bad

Well that's one thing I'll never understand

'Cause I remember us at class

You were always the one to pass

And gave me answers right to see me through

But that was more than years ago

And who will love me I don't know

It's sad for sure but true it won't be you

I did that on purpose clu. Beck's version is a cover of the Stevie Wonder track here. I have to say that Blow By Blow is one of my favorite guitar albums of all time and that track in specific is AWESOME. Truly inspired. I used to be able to play the stupid thing note for note. Maybe I'll dust off my Strat and play along to it now.

How 'bout his version of "Ain't No Sunshine (when she's gone)". I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.....LOL

OK!! Here's a vote for the wierdest lyrics. Stackridge's "No One's More Important Than The Earth Worm". I'll post it later...

Here it is:

I can sit on sands by the sea.

And watch the vikings a-facinating me by the moonlight.

Everything a-changin' except the moon and tide.

There are green lands, rivers and trees and sands.

Where birds sing, animal paradise a-crackling.

Make me glad to be an earthling.

But the ostrich always gets his man.

He jumps out from a bush.

He can run faster than the zebra can.

But it always takes a push in the morning.

Burying the head he was born in.

No one's more important than the earth worm.

There are minors rather than majors every single time.

Just as long as I can make the end rhyme.

It's just too late, I just can't change my birth sign.

The one day when yellows and greens and blues are over.

Just lay me 'neath the last square inch of clover.

No one's more important than the earth worm.

LOL -

Weird lyrics...this could become a VERRRRY long thread...ha ha

Yesterday it seemed so cool and everything was fabulous

Built of brick and made for an eternity;

Give an inch and take an inch and what you've got is where you were

the universe is based on sullen entropy

-It falls apart as it goes on

Yesterday I saw the Devil in the nude, it was embarrassing

-I turned away-

He was leering in the mirror when I looked again

Everything you say you won't is what you will eventually

Honesty is money in the cemetery

If he treat you horribly he's probably a Scorpio

He's a long kebab through your ovaries

-The same goes out, the same goes in

Yesterday I saw the Devil in a mood. He wasnt angry, but he stood around

Biting off the legs of all his furry chums

I remember everything as if it happened years ago

Probably it did so I remember it

You are just your feelings it might give you vertigo

Falling off a high place and into it

-Just as I fell into you

Yesterday I saw the Devil in my food. I wasn't hungry,

But I played with it-

Blood red horns gouged through my scrambled (egg)

Yesterday I saw the Devil in my heart-I was expecting him

The doctor came-

I haave to call the doctor every time we kiss

The Devils Coachman

Robyn Hitchcock 'n' the Egyptians

I do remember this one from a Dr. Dimento show:

"I want to say I love you but,

Everyone says your a SL*T!!!"

How about some Tom Lehrer! 11.gif

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

Opening Remarks (not part of lyrics):

I'd like to take you now on wings of song as it were, and try and help you forget, perhaps, for a while, your drab wretched lives. Here is a song all about springtime in general, and in particular about one of the many delightful pastimes that the becoming of spring affords us all.

Lyrics:

Spring is here, a-suh-puh-ring is here.

Life is skittles and life is beer.

I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.

I do, don't you? 'Course you do.

But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,

And makes every Sunday a treat for me.

All the world seems in tune

On a spring afternoon,

When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

Every Sunday you'll see

My sweetheart and me,

As we poison the pigeons in the park.

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,

But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.

The sun's shining bright,

Everything seems all right,

When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We've gained notoriety,

And caused much anxiety

In the Audubon Society

With our games.

They call it impiety

And lack of propriety,

And quite a variety

Of unpleasant names.

But it's not against any religion

To want to dispose of a pigeon.

So if Sunday you're free,

Why don't you come with me,

And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.

And maybe we'll do

In a squirrel or two,

While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment,

Except for the few we take home to experiment.

My pulse will be quickenin'

With each drop of strych'nine

We feed to a pigeon.

(It just takes a smidgin!)

To poison a pigeon in the park.

cluless,

If you've never heard Tom Lehrer you're in for a treat. Pick up or borrow one of his CD's and be prepared for some modern-sounding semi-sick humor that he wrote back in the late 1950's (1959 I think). The man was very much ahead of his time, plays the piano well, and is very intelligent too! Whenever work gets to be a bee-otch I'll throw on one of his LP's or CD's, it brings a smile to my face in this current politically correct environment.

Hi guys,

Well, I really like Mark Knopfler (the lead singer of Dire Straits).

He has some cool lyrics, especially in his solo albums like Golden Heart and Sailing to Philadelphia. Also, in most of his songs, he ends them with some cool guitar jamming. I wish they would release an album just with those guitar sessions!

On song from Golden Heart is Done With Bonaparte. Here he speaks from a soldier's point of view who belongs to Napoleon's army. The song goes like this:

We've paid in hell since Moscow burned

As Cossacks tear us piece by piece

Our dead are strewn a hundred leagues

Though death would be a sweet release

And our grande arm¨¦e is dressed in rags

A frozen starving beggar band

Like rats we steal each other's scraps

Fall to fighting hand to hand

Save my soul from evil, Lord

And heal this soldier's heart

I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord

I'm done with Bonaparte

What dreams he made for us to dream

Spanish skies, Egyptian sands

The world was ours, we marched upon

Our little Corporal's command

And I lost an eye at Austerlitz

The sabre slash yet gives me pain

My one true love awaits me still

The flower of the aquitaine

Save my soul from evil, Lord

And heal this soldier's heart

I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord

I'm done with Bonaparte

I pray for her who prays for me

A safe return to my belle France

We prayed these wars would end all wars

In war we know is no romance

And I pray our child will never see

A little Corporal again

Point toward a foreign shore

Captivate the hearts of men

Save my soul from evil, Lord

And heal this soldier's heart

I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord

I'm done with Bonaparte

Do check him out. You won't regret it.

M.O.D. - Ode to Harry.

Harry hopped in his car,

and turned the key.

Started up and headed down the L.I.E.

Too cheap to own a real car,

he had a Volkswagon Rabbit.

That put an end,

to Harrys' cheap habit.

The trucker couldn't stop,

so the driver took aim.

And when he hit Harry...

Harry burst into flames.

Your dead now Harry...

you can't come back...

You'd still be alive if you drove a Cadillac.

Hi guys,

Check out Troglodytes by Jimmy Castor Bunch. It's hilarious!

TROGLODYTE (CAVE MAN)

Jimmy Castor

Note: While there is a pounding beat in the background, the

song is spoken rather than sung

What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time.

When the only people that existed were troglodytes...cave men...

cave women...Neanderthal...troglodytes.

Let's take the average

cave man at home, listening to his stereo.

Sometimes he'd get up,

try to do his thing.

He'd begin to move, something like this:

"Dance...dance". When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look

in the mirror: "Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a

woman gotta find a woman". He'd go down to the lake where all the

woman would be swimming or washing clothes or something. He'd look

around and just reach in and grab one. "Come here...come here".

He'd grab her by the hair. You can't do that today, fellas, cause

it might come off. You'd have a piece of hair in your hand and she'd

be swimming away from you (ha-ha). This one woman just lay there,

wet and frightened. He said: "Move...move". She got up. She was a

big woman. BIG woman. Her name was Bertha. Bertha Butt. She was one

of the Butt sisters. He didn't care. He looked up at her and said:

"Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me

sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me!". She looked down on him.

She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him. She said

(falsetto):

"I'll sock it to ya, Daddy". He said: "Wha?". She said (falsetto):

"I'll sock it to ya, Daddy". You know what he said? He started it way

back then. I wouldn't lie to you. When she said (falsetto)

"I'll sock it to ya, Daddy" he said "Right on! Right on! Hotpants!

Hotpants! Ugh...ugh...ugh".
