These are the lyrics that have so far meant something to me or had an effect on me or my life. There are a few and yes they are cut and paste simply to save time, however they are just the parts of the song that mean most to me, however it's the song that does it for me as a whole and not just one particular line.

Quote:
 
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother

The Hollies
Possibly my fav song of all time, amazing.

Quote:
 
Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven?
Would you feel the same if I saw you in Heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven ......

Eric Clapton
for several reasons none more so than the reason he wrote it and the pain he must go through every time he sings it. Brings a lump to my throat

Quote:
 
Ev'rybody's building the big ships and the boats,
Some are building monuments,
Others, jotting down notes,
Ev'rybody's in despair,
Ev'ry girl and boy
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna jump for joy.
Come all without, come all within,
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Quinn.

..........................

A cat's meow and a cow's moo, I can recite 'em all,
Just tell me where it hurts yuh, honey,
And I'll tell you who to call.
Nobody can get no sleep,
There's someone on ev'ryone's toes
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,
Ev'rybody's gonna wanna doze
.
Bob Dylan
Amazing song, with loads of little clues here and there to what he's talking about

Quote:
 
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
.
Bob Dylan
Can you guess i like Bob Dylan records? This song is obviously what Bob Dylan is famous for and launched the careers of a good few people off it. This lyric itself is something i used to use in meetings or before demo's in dylan esque manner. It also sums up the type of up bringing i've had and my connection to unionism.

Quote:
 
Hey Francesca
You gave me no warning                 
Thanks for leaving the sunshine
Thanks for leaving me
Thanks for being all mine
Thanks for being free

Roy Harper
The song is such a lovely and expressive way of describing loss. Such a genlte little song. And the reason why my daughters name is Francesca. A legend in his own right.

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early may
Orders from the d. a.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "no doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But losers, cheaters
Six-time users
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'cause the vandals took the handles



Subterranean Homesick Blues

Artist: Queen(my fave)

Song: Too much love will kill you

Story: When the legend freddie mercury cannot decide on his sexuality and when you read it you will see what he is on about its a great song he was so good such a powerful voice and brian may he was arguably the best guitarist ever lisved IMO!

____________________________________________________________

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In me tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life, you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.

Electricity
  by Joni Mitchell 

The Minus is loveless
He talks to the land
And the leaves fall
And the pond over-ices
She don't know the system Plus
She don't understand
She's got all the wrong fuses and splices
She's not going to fix it up
Too easy

The masking tape tangles
It's sticky and black
And the copper
Proud headed Queen Lizzie
Conducts little charges
That don't get charged back
Well the technical manual's busy
She's not going to fix it up too easy
And she holds out her flashlight
And she shines it on me
She wants me to tell her
What the trouble might be
Well I'm learning
It's peaceful
With a good dog and some trees
Out of touch with the breakdown
Of this century
They're not going to fix it up
Too easy

We once loved together
And we floodlit that time
Input output electricity
But the lines overloaded
And the sparks started flying
And the loose wires
Were lashing out at me
She's not going to fix that up
Too easy
But she holds out her candle
And she shines it in
And she begs him to show her
How to fix it again
While the song that he sang her
To soothe her to sleep
Runs all through her circuits
Like a heartbeat
She's not going to fix it up
Too easy

why do people cut & paste the whole song lyric ? do they really think that anybody is going to read through five verses ?

much better, imo, to pick out the one or two lines that really say something

e.g "Saturday night, I feel the air is getting hot. Like you baby"

the whole songs is true to the full stop at the end but heres the first verse.

Oh yeah
In france a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called the disciples
High on crack, totin a machine gun

The words to this song mean a lot to me - in memory of my husband who died recently

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

She walked in through the out door, out door.

Don't know what I want but I know how to get it.

With the lights out it's less dangerous.

You look so self-possessed, I won't disturb your rest.

There's bound to be talk tomorrow, at least there will be plenty implied.

You said you'd never compromise with the mystery tramp. But now you realize. He's not selling any alibis As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes and ask him do you want to make a deal?

If you're out of luck or out of work.

Those fingers in my hair, that sly come hither stare that strips my conscience bare.

I could have been someone. Well so could anyone.

Offer me solutions offer me alternatives and I decline.

"... there's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to heaven
when she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed,
with a word she can get what she came for......
and she's buying a stairway to heaven

there's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
in a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
and she's buying a stairway to heaven

there's a feeling i get when i look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving
in my thoughts i have seen rings of smoke through the trees
and the voices of those who stand looking
and she's buying a stairway to heaven

and it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune,
then the piper will lead us to reason
and a new day will dawn for those who stand long
and the forests will echo with laughter
and she's buying a stairway to heaven

and it makes me wonder

if there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
it's just a spring-clean for the may-queen
yes there are two paths you can go by,
but in the long run...
there's still time to change the road you're on...
and she's buying a stairway to heaven...


all this, followed by some of the best guitar work of its era....c1970

The man himself is very strange... not into him... but as you have seen first hand, he can entertain, play many instruments at a very high standard and can write some mind blowing stuff. One of the greatest musicians of all time IMO

Theres nothing unfashionable about Joni. My favorite it Calafornia. If you like Joni try listening too an artist called Linda Perhacs. One Album recorded and then she disapeared straight sfter. Mysterious but very Joni esque.

''Tears for the children, who never had the time
to commit the sins they pay for, through another's evil crime''


Weller wrote this after watching a TV documentary about children born out of American/Vietnamese relationships during the Vietnam war. Once the war ended, obviously their fathers were up and gone, never to be seen again.



It could be for many children though..Dunblane, Soham, Ireland, Iraq, Lebabnon and Israel. The list just goes on.
