This is the thread where you can post the lyrics of your favourite songs (other than the Beatles!) and share the wisdom of the words with the rest of us!! I'll go first: (be warned, I tend to like somewhat obscure songs that no one else has ever heard of) Eighth Day - Hazel O'Connor In the beginning was a world Man said: Let there be more light Electric scenes a maze of beams Neon brights to light our boring nights On the second day he said: Let's have a gas Hydrogen and co. are of the past Let's make some germs, we'll poison the worms Man will never be surpassed And he said: Behold what I have done I've made a better world for everyone Nobody laughs, nobody cries World without end, forever and ever Amen, amen, amen On the third we get green and blue pill pie On the fourth we send rockets to the sky On the fifth metal beasts and submarines On the sixth man prepares his final dream: In our image, let's make robots for our slaves Imagine all the time that we can save Computers, machines, the silicon dream Seventh he retired from the scene And he said: Behold what I have done I've made a better world for everyone Nobody laughs, nobody cries World without end, forever and ever Amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen) On the eighth day machine just got upset A problem man had not foreseen as yet No time for flight, a blinding light Then nothing but a void, forever night He said: Behold what man has done There's not a world for anyone Nobody laughs, nobody cries World's at an end, everyone has died Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen) He said: Behold what man has done There's not a world for anyone Nobody laughs, nobody cries World's at an end, everyone has died Forever amen (amen), amen (amen), amen (amen) (Amen) |

Vincent (Don McLean) Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen they did not how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen they did not how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left inside On that starry, starry night You took your life as lovers often do But I could have told you Vincent This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes The silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now I think I know What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They did not listen they're not listening still Perhaps they never will |

Great thread! Vienna - Billy Joel Slow down you crazy child You're so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you're so smart tell me why are you still so afraid? Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? You better cool it off before you burn it out You got so much to do and only so many hours in a day. But you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through... When will you realize... Vienna waits for you. Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight) Too bad, but it's the life you lead You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need Though you can see when you're wrong You know you can't always see when you're right (you're right) You got your passion you got your pride But don't you know that only fools are satisfied? Dream on but don't imagine they'll all come true When will you realize, Vienna waits for you. Slow down you crazy child Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while It's alright you can afford to lose a day or two When will you realize... Vienna waits for you. And you know that when the truth is told That you can get what you want or you can just get old You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through Why don't you realize... Vienna waits for you When will you realize... Vienna waits for you. |

Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 (Bob Dylan) Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good, They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home. Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone. But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat. They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor. They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door. But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table. They'll stone ya when you are young and able. They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck. They'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck." Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end. Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again. They'll stone you when you're riding in your car. They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar. Yes, but I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone. They'll stone you when you are walking home. They'll stone you and then say you are brave. They'll stone you when you are set down in your grave. But I would not feel so all alone, Everybody must get stoned. |

Dear God - XTC Dear God, Hope you got the letter, And I pray you can make it better down here. I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer, But all the people that you made in your image, See them starving on their feet, 'Cause they don't get enough to eat from God, I can't believe in you. Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears, And all the people that you made in your image, See them fighting in the street, 'Cause they can't make opinions meet, About God, I can't believe in you. Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too! Dear God, Don't know if you noticed, But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book. Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, And all the people that you made in your image, Still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't and so do you, Dear God, I can't believe in, I don't believe in, I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, No Devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, And it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound, that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Is just somebody's unholy hoax, And if you're up there you'll perceive, That my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in... It's you, Dear God. |

Yes, I have it - but to be honest, I'd never paid that close attention to it (too busy listening to Senses Working Overtime and Making Plans For Nigel) but, after reading the lyrics, have got a new-found appreciation for the track. B) |

I wouldn't take it as a song of atheism. After all, it is addressed TO God. |

The song that inspired my user name - Have A Cuppa Tea - The Kinks Granny's always ravin' and rantin' And she's always puffin' and pantin', And she's always screaming and shouting, And she's always brewing up tea. Grandpappy's never late for his dinner, Cos he loves his leg of beef And he washes it down with a brandy, And a fresh made cup of tea. Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea. If you feel a bit under the weather, If you feel a little bit peeved, Take granny's stand-by potion For any old cough or wheeze. It's a cure for hepatitis it's a cure for chronic insomnia, It's a cure for tonsilitis and for water on the knee. Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea. Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper time, You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing. Tea when the weather's fine, You get tea as a mid-day stimulant You get tea with your afternoon tea For any old ailment or disease For Christ sake have a cuppa tea. Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea. Whatever the situation whatever the race or creed, Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree It knows no motivations, no sect or organisation, It knows no one religion, Nor political belief. Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea. |
