Come closer
You seem so far away
There's something
I know you need to say
I feel your emotions
When I look in your eyes
Your silence
Whispering misunderstandings
There's so much
You need to realize
You'll feel my emotions
If you look in my eyes
(Chorus:)
Hey, darlin'
I know you think my love is slipping away
But, baby, it's all in your mind
Don't worry
Hold on tight and hear me when I say
Baby, it's all in your mind
Believe me
I believe in you
There's nothing
This feeling couldn't do
Move closer, my darling
Feel the love in my

I also love this one, the pureness of Roy Orbisons voice and the honesty of the lyrics, the duet with KD Lang was a sensation

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night
You held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say, "Hello"

Oh, you wished me well
You, you couldn't tell
That I'd been crying over you
Crying over you

When you said, "So long"
Left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying
Crying, crying

It's hard to understand
But the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
But it's true, so true
I love you even more
Than I did before

But, darling, what can I do?
For you don't love me
And I'll always be crying over you
Crying over you

Yes, now you're gone
And from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying
Crying, crying
Yeah, crying, crying
Over you

(Inspired by talk of hoovers on GetOrf's Modern Life is Rubbish thread)

I?ve got a new hoover, what do you think of it?
I?ve got a new hoover, I?m over the moon with it.
it?s got what can only be described as a headlamp on the front,
adjustable height and a low maintenance filter.

I sold him that hoover, it?s a pile of shit,
I sold him that hoover, what?s left of it.
It couldn?t suck off a fly from your carpet if it tried,
and the low maintenance filter, I lied.

So it?s useless is it?
Yep.
Well can I have my three hundred quid back?
No, I?ve spent it Vic.
What on?
A new hoover of course.

Do you still love me?
Yes, I suppose so
Are you still angry?
Yes just a little
Well you should thank your lucky stars I didn?t make you pay a delivery charge.

Do not listen to a word I say
Just listen to what I can keep silent
The only way to gain approval
Is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me

And I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday

Someone somewhere soon will take care of you
I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart
Houses as ruins and gardens as weeds
Why do anything when you can forget everything

And I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday

I stare at the sky
And it leaves me blind
I close my eyes
And this is yesterday

Pam I agree, I've loved it since the first time I heard it. The irony was that it was so accurate in my life at the time.

Love Cryin', btw. Mum tells me I'm ol before my time, but it's just one of those songs. Timeless.

My mother and father also tell me that. I'm 27. don't care, Joni Mitchell kinda half raised me anyway

This one's directed at an exP who's come into money, shacked up with a rich woman, doing very well as a musican (v glad about that one, he's mega talented and has worked very hard) but is now swanking for England about where he dines and what he drinks......prat. I want him to be happy as I am still fond of him in a way - but the swanking is making him look a fool.

You may not be with me all the time
You may never pass my way
Mother Earth is waiting for you
For that debt you've got to pay

Don't care how big you are
I don't care what you were
When it all is up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

You may own half the city
And some diamonds and some pearls
You may have a Lear jet baby
And fly all around the world

Don't care how big you are
I don't care what you were
When it all is up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

You may own some racin' horses
Even own the whole damn track
You may have enough money baby
To buy anything you lack

Don't care how big you are
I don't care what you were
When it all is up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

(Rich or poor, nobody lives forever)

I did curse Mum when I found myself, aged 25, sat up watching An Evening With Neil Diamond at 11pm on a Saturday evening. It's all her fault...

Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The applause nails down my silence

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I'm feeling well
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
Where they patronise my misery

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
The sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay

La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you

Do you remember
When we met?
That's the day I knew you were my pet
I want to tell you
How much I love you

Come with me my love
To the sea
The sea of love
I want to tell you
How much I love you

love neil diamond, my friends hate my old music.

I love jonnie cash too

I am the son
and the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am Human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does

There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet someone who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry
And you want to die

When you say it's gonna happen now,
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone

Couldn't decide so posted both.

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monsters gone,
He's on the run and your daddy's here,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Before you go to sleep,
Say a little prayer,
Every day in every way,
It's getting better and better,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,

Out on the ocean sailing away,
I can hardly wait,
To see you to come of age,
But I guess we'll both,
Just have to be patient,
Yes it's a long way to go,
But in the meantime,

Before you cross the street,
Take my hand,
Life is just what happens to you,
While your busy making other plans,

Beautiful,
Beautiful, beautiful,
Beautiful Boy,
Darling,
Darling,
Darling Sean

(i sing this to my ds, changing the name at the end its just beautiful)

Every time I look at you I fall in love, all over again
Every time I think of you it all begins, all over again

One little dream at night and I can dream all day
It only takes a memory to thrill me
One little kiss from you and I just fly away
Pour me out your love until you fill me

I wanna fall in love beginning from the start, all over again
Show me how you stole away my heart, all over again

One little dream at night and I can dream all day
It only takes a memory to thrill me
One little kiss from you and I just fly away
Pour me out your love until you fill me

I wanna fall in love beginning from the start, all over again
Show me how you stole away my heart, all over again

All over again, All over again, All over again, All over again
All Over Again

Anyone who dislikes Johnny Cash should be sectioned. I used to sing Folsolm Prison Blues to DS, when he was about 6 months old. He'd laugh hysterically at that.

here is a heart. here is a heart
i made it for you, so take it
battered and braised
grilled and sautéed
just how you like it, like it
you know i live to fill you up

blood of my blood,
dripping with love
i bring you a thing
you need most
silent between
supplies and machines
i hang in the corners like a ghost
you know i live to be seen through

no better way that i can see
to spend all the time
while you're asleep
when holding your hands
inside of mine, mmmm
i wanna be here and nowhere else
rationing off bits of myself
so i can crumble at your side

sleep like the dead
through the noise in your head
while monitors click
and whirr and glow
i'm with you all day
and i still would stay
tomorrow and onward
(From: www.elyrics.net/read/j/jenny-owen-youngs-lyrics/here-is-a-heart-lyrics.html)
just this close
you know i live to keep you safe, oh

no better way that i can see
to spend all the time
while you're asleep
when holding your hands
inside of mine
i wanna be here and nowhere else
rationing off bits of myself
so i can crumble at your side

i can't explain it
but i have to try
if you evaporate
the seas will rise
'til they devour the sky

here is a heart. here is a heart
i made it for you, so take it
battered and braised
grilled and sautéed
just how you like it, like it

no better way that i can see
to spend all the time
while you're asleep
when holding your hands
inside of mine
i wanna be here and nowhere else
rationing off bits of myself
so i can crumble at your side

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that?s winning

You say I let you down
You know it?s not like that
If you?re so hurt
Why then don?t you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that?s not where it?s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You?re in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I?d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don?t know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, ?How are you?? ?Good luck?
But you don?t mean it

When you know as well as me
You?d rather see me paralyzed
Why don?t you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I?d rob them

And now I know you?re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don?t you understand
It?s not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You?d know what a drag it is
To see you

(Oh, how I love Bob Dylan).

I'm all alone
you're far away
Never learned from my mistakes
I should have known
Just what to say
To make you want to stay
You were always the one giving
I was always there to take it
Take your heart and break it
Ohhhh

And I'll never make it without you
I need a second chance
Cause I want to make it about you
I'm making my last stand
It took a moment to say
It wasn't you it was me
I couldn't let you in
Now I'm ashamed I pushed you away from me
Now I'm afraid it's too late to save again

Miss you the most when I sleep
Turning nightmares into dreams
Can't lose hope
It's killing me
(killing me)
I'm the one who made you leave
But if I just take a chance now
Open up and finally reach out
(reach out)
Can I save it all somehow
Ohhhhh

And I'll never make it without you
I need a second chance
Cause I want to make it about you
I'm making my last stand
It took a moment to say
It wasn't you it was me
I couldn't let you in
Now I'm ashamed I pushed you away from me
Now I'm afraid it's too late to save again

I'm all alone
You're far away
I finally found the words to say
Ohhhh
And I'll never make it without you
(sorry for the way I shut you out)
I need a second chance
Cause I want to make it about you
(sorry for the way)
I'll make it my last stand
It took a moment to say it wasn't you
It was me
I couldn't let you in
Now I'm ashamed I pushed you away from me
(I couldn't let you in)
Now I'm afraid it's too late to save again
Won't be afraid won't push you away

(Funnily enough, for another ex... I think about people in song)

Once it wasn't Neil Sedaka Peanut we're definitely still on the same page. Johnny Cash is the reason I'm married...:) does anyone else allow music to have such a strong influence?

Mine will always be jazz and blues - doesn't mean I don't like other people's choices. Is the Fuck You one Lily Allen? Love her, she's so funny and rude. Hope you like mine. This one made a young girl jump up and hug me on a gig, because she said it was so beautiful. I was a bit taken aback, but pleased. It's by Hoagy Carmichael who wrote Georgia on my mind, a big hit for Ray Charles

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in your arms
Of course I do

But I get along without you very well

I've forgotten you just as I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name
And someone's laugh that is the same

But I've forgotten you just as I should

What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Shall I phone once more
No it's best I stick to my tune

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For spring will surely break my heart in two

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

The Fuck You song is by Cee-Lo Green.

Pam, if a friend or a partner hates music, I'm at a loss for what to talk to them about. My brother doesn't care for music. Something I don't understand. I have songs that cheer me up, reduce me to tears and have me chuckling like a weirdo...

Oh, and photosynthesis by Frank Turner encouraged me to stop being so uptight.

this was playing on radio when dd was born, not my usual choice of album although great too commercial for me, but this song makes me cry and brim over with happiness and dd loves me singing it to her and the words are beautiful.

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

'The fuck you one' is cee lo green, it was 'forget you' on the radio. He did an awesome version of 'reet petite' on Jools Holland - worth a youtube.

Sorry Don'tcallmepeanut you beat me by a mile.

and this was playing when my mother died, cant listen to anything by travis now, which is a shame as I did like them.

can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong.
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I got my mind on something else
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong.
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody saying everything's alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all these lights
Sunny days
Where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong.
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shining
I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue skies go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain...
