Song Quotes/Lyrics

I have found myself listening to this song lately. I used to believe it was a BS song Jim Morrison was trying to push, but now I think it is a lot more deeper than that...

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you

I see you live on Love Street
There's this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far

She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Woah...deja vu. I've been hitting up the Doors Greatest Hits constantly for the past week or so (what a great cd it is):

The Doors - People are Strange

People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down

When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re strange

People are strange when you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly when you’re alone
Women seem wicked when you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven when you’re down

When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re strange

When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name
When you’re strange
When you’re strange
When you’re strange

As much as this song sounds like late disco: I like it. My husband says it sounds like a combo of Style Council and Roxy Music.
Like a lot of the Song files for this series, there is an instrumental version of it as well.

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up two down

No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen

No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day

But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town

Heh....DMB. This is arguably one of the lyrically strongest songs he's ever put together.

Bartender

If I go,
Before I'm old.
Oh, brother of mine,
Please don't forget me if I go.

Bartender, please,
Fill my glass for me.
With the wine you gave Jesus,
That set him free after three days in the ground.

Oh, and if I die,
Before my time.
Oh, sweet sister of mine,
Please don't regret me if I die.

Bartender, please,
Fill my glass for me.
With the wine you gave Jesus,
That set him free after three days in the ground.

Bartender, please,
Fill my glass for me.
With the wine you gave Jesus,
That set him free after three days in the ground.

I'm on bended knees,
I pray bartender please

When I was young,
I didn't think about it.
Now I can't get it out of my mind.

I'm on bended knees,
Father, please.

Oh, and if all this gold,
Should steal my soul away.
Oh, dear mother of mine,
Please redirect me if this gold...

Bartender, you see,
The wine that's drinking me,
Came from the vine that strung Judas,
From the Devil's tree.
His roots deep, deep in the ground.

Bartender, you see,
The wine that's drinking me,
Came from the vine that strung Judas,
From the Devil's tree,
It's roots deep, deep in the ground, ground.

I'm on bended knees,
Oh, Bartender, please.

I'm on bended knees
Father, please.

When I was young,
I didn't think about it.
Now I just want to run and hide.

I'm on bended knees, oh Bartender, please,
Bartender, please...

You can get it if you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You won't forget it if you ever had it
So you're better off just stayin' at home
She walked in with her alligator sister
Trying to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it
If you never had it
So better off just leave it alone

And the dogs came in
Just to see her smile
And the dogs came in
Just to see her smile
Just to see her smile

You don't get it, no, you won't forget
So you're better off just leave it alone
If you don't stop thinkin'
Soon you will be drinkin'
And you're better off just stayin' at home

And the dogs came in
Just to see her smile
And the dogs came in
Just to see her smile
Just to see her smile

She walked in with her alligator sister
Trying to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it
If you never had it
So better off just leave it alone

Coming down
Mom I'm still healin'
Coming down
Oh, and I'm still breathing
Coming down

You can get it if you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You won't forget it if you ever had it
So you're better off just stayin' at home
She walked in with her alligator sister
Trying to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it
If you never had it
So better off just leave it alone

I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are going wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains

I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour your misery down (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (pour your misery down)

Pour your misery down (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down on me (pour your misery down)
Pour your misery down (pour it)

You can keep me company
As long as you don't care

I'm only happy when it rains
You'll wanna hear about my new obsession
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)

I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains (pour some misery down on me)
I'm only happy when it rains

Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me
Pour some misery down on me

I'm only happy when it rains

One Toke Over The Line
Brewer & Shipley

One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Awaitin' for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Whoooo do you love, I hope it's me
I've bin a changin', as you can plainly see
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my momma said
If I should choose to make a part of me, surely strike me dead
Now I'm one toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
I'm waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I bin away a country mile,
Now I'm returnin' showin' off a smile
I met all the girls and loved myself a few
Ended by surprise like everything else I've been through
It opened up my eyes and now I'm
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I want to be
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don't you just know I waitin' for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin' that the train is on time
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Sittin' downtown in a railway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line

This song always makes me smile. Bless OLP.


Thief - Our Lady Peace
I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tag's the last thing you wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
And we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space...

I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your....

Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked on water
'Cause the hallways are empty, clocks tick

As the world implodes we fall into it
And we can't go home because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space

I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
And I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend


It's a long long getaway, it's a long long getaway
Make it home again, make it home again
It's a long long getaway, it's a long long getaway


I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
I don't know what's happening and I can't pretend
But I can be your, be your....
And I can be your, be your....


It's a long long getaway

Me and Johnny sittin' in the green grass
I don’t remember too much from that far back in the past,
But man, oh man, was Johnathan a laugh
In those days.
Apparently he was my very best friend
We spent warm summer days wishing they would never end
But I only know from photographs I look at
Every now and again.

And J-J-Johnny
Ooh, ooh, all he left us was an apple tree,
And ooh, where'd he go, and ooh, why'd he leave,
And ooh, why do I grieve?

Now I don’t ever see Johnathan no more,
But my life rolls on just like it did before,
And I only wonder what it is
That I even miss him for.

Me and Timory holdin' hands
I was shakin' hers, ‘cause she said she was a fan,
There was an awkward pause, and something that should’ve began
Just passed us by.
But I watched her sing along with every word,
In the prettiest voice that I never heard,
And I still see her dancing, wearin' my shirt
Right there.

And t-t-timorous me
All Timory left me was a memory.
And ooh, I was blind, and ooh, now I find
That I can’t see.

Now me and Jodi spend a lot of our time
Just sittin' in silence, driving late at night,
And maybe even wonderin' what’s on each other’s mindw
This time.
But I know she’s like me, so I let it ride
She’s dwelling in that quiet space left behind,
Where only peace can answer why,
And you abide
The birds must fly.

Whoa. werent these supposed to be selected song quotes as opposed to whole song lyrics?


This is a long song, and it wont fit if I put in everything.
Oingo Boingo - Insanity

Selected parts:

I am the virus, are you the cure?
I am morally(morally), I'm morally impure(Impure)
I am a disease and I am unclean
I am not part of God's well oiled machine
Christian nation(Nation), assimilate me(me)
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite(elite)
dragging our society into the street -yeah-
Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
The man just told me, he told me on TV

I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
To cut you open with knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
I'd love to mess your pretty hair, I'd love to see you dead.


That latter part had Danny Elfman using his Jack singing voice. And I think it was just awesome.

Edit:
Good point. Will some willing Mod change the title?

We've been doing this for ages. If one of the mods or admins or something could change the title of the thread to Song Lyrics, that would be awesome

i heard a funny lyric in a shania twain song.... it goes

"I wish i could grow a beard..."

I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance

Cos' I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about

You think that you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
All energy no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down

And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind

So see you when your 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad

You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out

now I've seen, tonight, how I could waste my time
and I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
your just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces...
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere...

And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression...
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow...

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had!
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take!
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World...
Mad World...
Mad World...


Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday...
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen...
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me...
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me...

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had!
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take!
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World...
Mad World...
Mad World...


And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had!
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take!
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World...
Mad World...
Mad World...

I have found myself listening to this song a lot lately.
(Thanks, Beth, for the latest The Cranberries CD)

I never had a friend like you this is the day
Your skin is white, your eyes are blue this is the day

But the wind might change I will still remain
I will always be there for you

Those thoughts they circle in my mind, this is the day
The demons I can't leave behind this is the day

Don't be insecure I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you

Faith will save you, faith will save you
Faith will save you, stay safe
Par forth thy grace into my mind, this is the day
Par forth thy grace, thou art devine, this is the day
Don't be insecure I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you

Faith will save you, faith will save you
Faith will save you, stay safe
But the wind might change I will still remain
I will still be here
But the wind might change I will still remain
I will always be there for you
Faith will save you, faith will save you
Faith will save you, stay safe

*rolls down the window and starts to say:"All about making that GTA!"*

John Lennon(possibly the /Plastic Ono Band) - God

God is a Concept by which
we measure our pain
I'll say it again
God is a Concept by which
we measure our pain

The dream is over
What can I say?
the Dream is Over
Yesterday
I was the Dreamweaver
But now I'm reborn
I was the Walrus
But now I'm John
and so dear friends
you'll just have to carry on
The Dream is over
