Song lyric stuck in my head...

[maelstrom0370]

Not so much a lyric, but feel free to bask in the awesomeness!!!  I just gotta ask, though...

...are those really the lyrics?

[bree]

I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house, took my hand
I said I was a boy; I'm glad he didn't check.
I learned to fly, I learned to fight
I lived a whole life in one night
We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck.
And I remember that night
When I'm leaving a late night with some friends
And I hear somebody tell me it's not safe, someone should helpme
I need to find a nice man to walk me home.
When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom,
Climbed what I could climb upon
And I don't know how I survived,
I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew.
And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too.

I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike
Riding topless, yeah, I never cared who saw.
My neighbor come outside to say, "Get your shirt,"
I said "No way, it's the last time I'm not breaking any law."
And now I'm in a clothing store, and the sign says less is more
More that's tight means more to see, more for them, not more forme
That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat

When I was a boy, see that picture? That was me
Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees
And I know things have gotta change,
They got pills to sell, they've got implants to put in, they'vegot implants to remove
But I am not forgetting
That I was a boy too

And like the woods where I would creep, it's a secret I cankeep
Except when I'm tired, except when I'm being caught off guard
I've had a lonesome awful day, the conversation finds its way
To catching fire-flies out in the backyard.
And I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived
And I say now you're top gun, I have lost and you have won
And he says, "Oh no, no, can't you see
When I was a girl, my mom and I we always talked
And I picked flowers everywhere that I walked.
And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone I seldom do
And I have lost some kindness
But I was a girl too.
And you were just like me, and I was just like you.


Dar WIlliams- when i was a boy

[Rani Zemirah]

Dar Williams is so amazing...

When I was little my grandma used to tell me stories of when she was a little boy on the farm... and when she was a boy, she didn't know there was a difference!

I had forgotten for a moment how much I miss her...

  Nice lyrics Bree.

The Drunk Scotsman:

Irish Folk Melody



Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair,

And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share.

He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet,

And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.



Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-adi-o

Ring-da-diddly-ai-o

He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.



About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by,

One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye,

"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome build,

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt?"



Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-adi-o

Ring-da-diddly-ai-o

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt?



They crept up on theat sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be,

Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see.

And there, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish shirt,

Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.



Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-adi-o

Ring-da-diddly-ai-o

Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.



They marveled for a moment than one said, "we must be gone,

Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."

As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow,

Around the bonny-star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.



Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-adi-o

Ring-da-diddly-ai-o

Around the bonny-star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.



Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree,

Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees.

And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes,

"Lad I don't know where ya been but I see you won first prize."



Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-adi-o

Ring-da-diddly-ai-o

Lad I don't know where ya been but I see you won first prize.

 

sorry, had to. ^^

This was on the radio this morning, and now it won't get out of my head!!! Wouldn't be quite so bad if it wasn't one of those "I'm so in love that I can't think of anything else, and I'm crippled by it..." songs!  Puhlllease!!!          I'm gonna have to find a new alarm station...


Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone's looking round
Thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, baby, baby

But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep (keep) bleeding love (love)
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing (ooh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (ooh ooh)
Keep bleeding (oh ooh ooh)
Keep, keep bleeding love (love)
(Oh) you cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love (yeah ah yeah)
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (oh, I keep bleeding love)
Keep bleeding (I keep)
Keep, keep bleeding love (oh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

Out of the Rain, The Duhks
It's been raining hard in Winnipeg, like where you've gone
So I am going to write a song to soothe my aching
For two whole days the rain came down and I've been thinking round
To when I was too young to see my heart was breaking
Oh baby I can't stay here in the rain another day
Though I've been trying to find a way to make it happen
Lately I've been trying figure what it's all about
And when I know I'll work it out but now I'm getting
Out of the rain.

Out of the rain is where I'm headed for
Far from the pain of being tied to your back door
Oh I know that it's not something that I can control
So I'll go to go on in the rain.

I've been wandering thirsty in the rain for so long now
But it ain't of the amount but where I'm standing
In the sunshine I will see much clearer just what I can do
I'll keep it simple free and true
I can do what I want to do.

Out of the rain is where I'm headed for
Far form the pain of being tied to your back door
Take it slow, love yourself for you can't love no one else
Oh I know I can't go on in the rain.

Out of the rain, no hurting anymore
Into the sun to find what I've been yearning for
Take it slow love yourself for you can't love no one else
Oh I know I can't go on in the rain.
Oh I know, I can't go on in the rain.

Recently saw Slumdog Millionaire and have been totally diggin' on the soundtrack.  Here's one of my faves....

...the silly dancing is just an added bonus

[Welsh Wench]

Woke up with The Breakfast Club...

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you forget about me
Don't don't don't don't
Don't you forget about me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

~~Simple Minds, Don't You Forget About Me

Oh yes the Breakfest Club, 20 years later I still love that movie. I had the Biggest crush for Molly Ringwald. Great Now I have that song stuck in my head.

[Blue66669]

Well, like WW, I'm stuck in the past today. A little Siouxsie and the Banshees, and some Echo and the Bunnymen!!!

First the Echo...Lips Like Sugar

She floats like a swan
grace on the water
lips like sugar
lips like sugar
just when you think you've caught her
she glides across the water
she calls for you tonight
to share this moonlight

You'll flow down her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her

Chorus:
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
sugar kisses

She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
sugar kisses
sugar kisses
just when you think she's yours
she's flown to other shores
to laugh at how you break
and melt into this lake

You'll flow down her river
but you'll never give her
(chorus)

She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
and my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Mirror kisses

And now Siouxsie... Kiss Them For Me (which is my personal theme song)

It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now youre the prettiest by far
No party shed not attend
No invitation she wouldnt send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found

Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down

Kiss them for me -- I may be delayed
Kiss them for me -- if I am delayed

Its divoon, oh its serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart shaped pool of fame

Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down

Kiss them for me -- I may be delayed
Kiss them for me -- I may find myself delayed

On the road to new orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the 10th impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed

Kiss them for me -- I may be delayed
Kiss them for me -- I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me -- kiss them for me

Kiss them for me -- I may find myself delayed

[Demetrius]

Breakfast Club, yeah... then I see "blue66669" and this pops into my head-

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Tears fill my eyes 'till I can't see

3 o'clock in the mornin, here am I
Sitting here so lonely, so lonesome I could cry

Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?

Now that it's over, I realized
Those sweet words you whispered, were nothing but lies
Blue
Oh, so lonesome for you
Why can't you be blue over me?

Why can't you be blue, over me?

-LeAnn Rimes  (I've heard this song was originally written for Patsy Cline)

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

Woke up with The Breakfast Club...

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep on the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em all down tonight
We're gonna mix in the street
Strike at the stroke of midnight
Dance on the bones till the girls say when
Pick up what's left by daylight
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So bad
She's the best friend we ever had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

THE ENGLISH LADYE AND THE KNIGHT

Music: Loreena McKennitt
Lyric: Sir Walter Scott (1771 – 1832)

It was an English ladye bright,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,)
And she would marry a Scottish knight,
For Love will still be lord of all.

Blithely they saw the rising sun
When he shone fair on Carlisle wall;
But they were sad ere day was done,
Though Love was still the lord of all.

Her sire gave brooch and jewel fine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall;
Her brother gave but a flask of wine,
For ire that Love was lord of all.

For she had lands both meadow and lea,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
For he swore her death, ere he would see
A Scottish knight the lord of all.

That wine she had not tasted well
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
When dead, in her true love's arms, she fell,
For Love was still the lord of all!

He pierced her brother to the heart,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall –
So perish all would true love part
That Love may still be lord of all!

And then he took the cross divine,
Where the sun shines fair on Carlisle wall,
And died for her sake in Palestine;
So Love was still the lord of all.


Now all ye lovers, that faithful prove,
(The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall)
Pray for their souls who died for love,
For Love shall still be lord of all!
