Looks like we've both been hurt before! 144648[/snapback] Everybody hurts sometimes! - rem Maybe someone can help us out with some upbeat stuff. I like happy songs too but I guess alot of my favorite lyrics come from the sadder ones. Here's one thats in between Oughta be easy oughta be simple enough yeah, man meets woman and they fall in love but this house is haunted and the ride gets rough you've got to learn to live With what you can't rise above And we'll ride on down now into this tunnel of love- Tunnel of Love da boss Some of my favorites are songs that titles have multiple meanings like one and tunnel of love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustemBigBlue 178 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our souls There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything 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 Woe oh oh oh oh oh And she's buying a stairway to heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG-91 1,488 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I don't know if any one part of this song stood out above the others, but I always liked 88 Lines About 44 Women by The Nails. Momma always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun But momma that's where the fun is Blinded By The Light by (take your pick) Bruce Springsteen or Manfred Mann.

tiger88 934 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 dass what I'm talkin bout slag. The best of the best lyrics can stand on their own, but are even better when sung. I've only heard that 88 lines song a few times on the radio but it is awesome. I'll buy it one day maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argo 8 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I should have seen it coming when roses died Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes I should have listened when you said good night You really meant good bye Baby, ain't it funny, how you never ever learn to fall You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall But only fools are "know-it-alls" and i played that fool for you This ain't a love song- Bon Jovi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermike 3,078 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I can't cut this one to four lines. Whipping Post The Allman Brothers Band I've been run down and I've been lied to. And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool. She took all my money, wrecks my new car. Now she's with one of my good time buddies, They're drinkin in some cross-town bar. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I been tied to the whippin post. Tied to the whippin post, tied to the whippin post. Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin. My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool. But I had to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin you. Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done. But nothing seemed to change, the bad times stayed the same, And I can't run. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I been tied to the whippin post. Tied to the whippin post, tied to the whippin post. Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I been tied to the whippin post. Tied to the whippin post, tied to the whippin post. Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger88 934 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 As bad as poison sucked they did have one classic: I hear you found somebody new I doubt I never meant that much to you To hear that tears me up inside And to see you cuts me like a knife I guess every rose has its thorns just like every night has its dawn just like every cowboy sings a sad sad song yeah, every rose has its thorns cliche ridden yes, but I like it.

TexasTiger 13,130 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 More from Lightfoot: When you reach the part where the heartaches come The hero would be me But heroes often fail And you won’t read that book again Because the ending’s just too hard to take ...

TexasTiger 13,130 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Secret O' Life (James Taylor) The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time Any fool can do it There ain't nothing to it Nobody knows how we got to The top of the hill But since we're on our way down We might as well enjoy the ride The secret of love is in opening up your heart It's okay to feel afraid But don't let that stand in your way 'Cause anyone knows that love is the only road And since we're only here for a while Might as well show some style Give us a smile Isn't it a lovely ride Sliding down Gliding down Try not to try too hard It's just a lovely ride Now the thing about time is that time Isn't really real It's just your point of view How does it feel for you Einstein said he could never understand it all Planets spinning through space The smile upon your face Welcome to the human race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger 13,130 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 A little less happy Taylor, with some exposition: Notes: JT on Sony.com: My brother Alex died in '93 on (not for) my birthday. We all went down to Florida to say goodbye. The day after we flew home (the day after his cremation) a giant mother hurricane followed us north through the Carolina's; trashing everything in its path and finally raining record rains on Martha's Vineyard (home). In Paris, a year later I changed his character to a hippie chick named Alice and the location to Santa Fe; but my soulful older brother is still all over this song like a cheap suit. The sun shines on this funeral The same as on a birth The way it shines on everything That happens here on Earth It rolls across the western sky And back into the sea And spends the days last rays Upon this f@#ked-up family So long old pal ... CHORUS: Oh it's enough to be on your way It's enough just to cover ground It's enough to be moving on Home, build it behind your eyes Carry it in your heart Safe among your own They brought her back on a Friday night Same day I was born We sent her up the smoke stack And back into the storm She blew up over the San Juan mountains And spent herself at last The threat of heavy weather That was what she knew the best CHORUS It woke me up on a Sunday An hour before the sun It had me watching the headlights Out on highway 591 'Til I stepped into my trousers 'Til I pulled my big boots on I walked out on the Mesa And I stumbled on this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTiger 13,130 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 A little Don McLean-- before the writer's block: I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news, But she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store Where I’d heard the music years before, But the man there said the music wouldn’t play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger88 934 Posted February 6, 2005 Author Share Posted February 6, 2005 All right tt you've convinced me to go out and get some james taylor. That is some good stuff fo sure. Here are some more lyrics about the secret to life: I found the secret to life, I found the secret to life I'm okay when everything is not okay tori amos "Upside Down" These sound much better in the song. Very simple but very true. An important teaching of spirituality is that although you may not always be happy, you can always be at peace with the world. I haven't reached that point yet, but am light years closer than I was a year ago. more from upside down: And I know you're still a boy Still coming out of your mother, upside down It isn't a male bashing song because she sings about herself being upside down at times too. Here are some of my favorite tori lyrics from "Take to the sky", a song she wrote before she made her break and began selling millions of records: And the priest says, you ain't saving no souls And my father says, you ain't making any money The doctor says, you just took it to the limit And here I stand with this sword in my hands You can say it one more time, what you don't like Let me hear it one more time then Have a seat while I, Take to the Sky From crucify, which I know you've heard before: Got a kick for a dog beggin for love I gotta have my suffering so that I can have my cross I know a cat named easter he says Will you ever learn? You're just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird.....
