Favorite Song Lyrics (Snippets)

[Argonne69]

Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

 

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song
Like the seasons have all gone

 

We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time

 

- Terry Jacks 

 

[touch]

Welcome to the Grand illusion
Come on in and see what's happening
Pay the price, get your tickets for the show
The stage is set, the band starts playing
Suddenly your heart is pounding
Wishing secretly you were a star

 

 

So if you think your life is complete confusion
Because you never win the game
Just remember that it's a grand illusion
And deep inside we're all the same
We're all the same

 

 

Styx 

 

[Argonne69]

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The human race
And I ain't gonna lose

 

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

 

We are the champions, my friends
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World

 

- Queen

@Argonne69 Feeling melancholy?

... or "like a champion of the World" after your surgery?

Wishing you all the best in your recovery!

Lol. I do feel like I took a good beating in a boxing ring. I might have come out on top, but the other guy landed a number of solid punches.

B-I-G-G-I-E ...AKA B-I-G get it? biggie

Also known as the bon appetit

Rappers cant sleep, need sleeping

Big keep creeping, bullets heat seaking

Casualties need treatin

Dumb rappers need teaching, lesson A

Don't F*** with BI, that's that..

Oh I, thought he was wack

Oh come, come now

Why y'all so dumb now?

Hunt me or he hunted

I got 357 ways to simmer saute

...I'm the winner all day

Lights gets dimmer down biggies hallway

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long

But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
Rocky Mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado)

Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul and leaves a stain upon your heart
I need you, to wash mine clean
You've felt it too, and you need me

Let me be your shelter, shelter
From a storm outside
Let me be your shelter, shelter
From the endless night

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

Wishing a fast recovery to the host Argonne69 .

[nitram]

Mother mother ocean,

I have heard you call.

Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was 3 feet tall.

You've seen it all,

You've seen it all.

 

Watch the men who road you,

Switch from sails to steam,

And in you belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen.

Most of 'em dream,

Most of 'em dream.

 

Yes I am a pirate,

200 years too late.

The cannons don't thunder there's nothing to plunder,

I'm an over 40 victim of fate.

Arriving too late,

Arriving too late.

 

I've done a bit of smuggling,

And I ran my share of grass.

I made enough money to buy Miami but I p!$$ed it away so fast.

Never meant to last,

Never meant to last.

 

And I have been drunk now for over two weeks,

I passes out and I rallied, and I sprung a few leaks.

But I've gotta stop wishin',

Gotta go fishin',

Down to rock bottom again.

Just a few friends

Just a few friends

 

And I go for younger women,

Lived with several a while.

Though I ran away

They come back one day

And still could manage a smile.

Just takes a while,

Just takes a while.

 

Mother mother ocean

After all the years I've found

My occupational hazard be my occupation's just not around

Feel like I've drowned

Gonna head up town

 

 

 

 

[Argonne69]

Dig if you will the picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling
Can you picture this?

 

Dream, if you can, a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and you

 

How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold

Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (she's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry

 

- Prince 

 

[nitram]

Can't go home if you're goin' by the mill
Cause the bridge's washed out
At the bottom of the hill
Big Creek's up Little Creek's level
Plow my corn with a double shovel

 

You gotta stay all night stay a little longer
Dance all night dance a little longer
Pull off your coat throw it in the corner
Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

 

Well you ought to see my blue eyed Sally
She lives away down on Shinbone Alley
Number on the gate the number on the door
Next house over is the grocery store

 

You gotta stay all night stay a little longer
Dance all night dance a little longer
Pull off your coat throw it in the corner
Don't see why you don't stay a little longer

 

Now grab your partner and pat her on the head
And if she don't like biscuits feed her cornbread
Girls around big creek about half drawn
Jump on a man like a dog on a bone

[Argonne69]

Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

 

Under pressure

 

- Queen and David Bowie 

 

[PNWGuy]

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far
You're gonna fly high, you're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which one's pink?

 

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it riding the gravy train

 

Pink Floyd, Have a Cigar

[DArnie]

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end            Mary Hopkins

Just about a year ago, I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune
Oh, Lord, stuck in Lodi again

 

If I only had a dollar, for every song I've sung
And every time I've had to play while people sat there drunk              CCR

[DArnie]

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.
Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon?
Doo, doo doo.
Wond'rous apparition provided by magician.
Doo, doo, doo, Looking out my back door.       CCR

[DArnie]

I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could, yeah
Oh-oh, well

I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
I'll keep holdin' on
So tight                        Simply Red

[mukster]

Agents of the law
Luckless pedestrian
I know you're out there
With rage in your eyes and your megaphones
Saying all is forgiven
Mad dog surrender
How can I answer
A man of my mind can do anything

[DArnie]

Cause like a picture she was laying there
Moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me

Her young face was like that of an angel
Her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road, son
Better slow this vehicle down                Sammy Johns

[touch]

Hearts of fire creates love desire
Take you high and higher to the world you belong
Hearts of fire, love desire
High and higher, you, you, you
Hearts of fire, love desire
High and higher

 

 Earth, Wind & Fire

[Argonne69]

Always a favorite as a kid. 

 

No more pencils, no more books
No more teachers, dirty looks
Out for summer, out 'til fall
We might not come back at all

 

School's out for summer (detention)
School's out forever

 

- Alice Cooper 

 

[Triple Lindy]

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
 

- Rolling Stones 

 

There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But, uh, but you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late

 

- Bob Dylan

[Argonne69]

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity

Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

 

- Kansas 

 

[nitram]

Well now it won't be but a week or two
And you'll be out lovin' someone new
Must have happened a hundred times before
But I can see you been spreadin' yourself thin too
It's a lonely stage we've been goin' through
Well don't get up I can find my own way to the door

 

Well I can see you are an angel whose wings just won't unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
Yeah the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go

 

Yeah you may have thirty lovers behind you
Yeah, I can feel you but I sure can't find you
Seems like you would have found your own self by now
But late at night your old lover's tears come back
Faces in your dreams, fingers in your back
Voices of the memories cryin' out loud

 

Now I can see you are an angel whose wings just won't unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
Yeah the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go

 

Ah what a joyous sight to see you in your sleep
Now I believe I'm leavin' I'm in too deep
And that seems easy enough for a man to say
But we would never agree if we talked all night
Things are gettin' heavy, I'm traveling light
Goodbye jaded lover you undercover queen for a day

 

And I can see you are an angel whose wings just won't unfold
Tune up your harp, polish your old halo
And the only kind of man that you ever wanted
Was one that you knew you'd never hold very long
Sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go
You keep sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go
Think about it darlin'

 

Jerry Jeff Walker

[Argonne69]

Listen to the wind blow, watch the sun rise
Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies

 

And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain (never break the chain)

 

- Fleetwood Mac 

 

[Argonne69]

School girl sleazy
With a classy kind of sassy
Little skirt hangin' way up her knee
There were three young ladies
In the school gym locker
And they find they were lookin' at D

I was high school loser
Never made it with a lady
'Til the boys told me somethin' I missed
That my next door neighbor
Had a daughter, had a favor
And I gave the girl a little kiss, like this

 

She told me to
Walk this way!
Talk this way!

 

- Aerosmith 

 

[DArnie]

Here come old flat top
He come grooving up slowly
He got joo joo eyeball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

 

He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease

Come together, right now, over me                 Beatles

 

 

 

[Argonne69]

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

 

Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

 

- The Doors
