Favorite Song Lyrics

[BrewCrewLifer]

I don't post on the site all that often. More of a lurker/reader than anything, but I felt I needed to reply to this thread. At Least That's What You Said---Wilco When I sat down on the bed next to you You started to cry I said, maybe if I leave, you'll want me To come back home Or maybe all you mean, is leave me alone At least that's what you said You're irresistible when you get mad Isn't it sad, I'm immune I thought it was cute For you to kiss My purple black eye Even though I caught it from you I still think we're serious At least that's what you said

[brettac1]

Dude, if you like Wilco, post MORE!

I've always liked Badfinger's "Day after Day"

 

I remember finding out about you

Every day, my mind is all around you

Looking out from my lonely room, day after day

Bring it home, baby, make it soon

I give my love to you

 

I remember holding you while you sleep

Every day, I feel the tears that you weep

Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day

Bring it home, baby, make it soon

I give my love to you

 

Looking out of my lonely room, day after day

Bring it home, baby, make it soon

I give my love to you

 

I remember finding out about you

Every day, my mind is all around you

Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day

Bring it home, baby, make it soon

I give my love to you.

Dude, if you like Wilco, post MORE!

 

Wilco is pretty much my favorite band. I saw them 3x in the past year. Wasn't able to get tickets for the 5 night show in Chicago last weekend though. A friend of mine went and said it was amazing. I guess Wilco is going to do it again next year.

Enchant : Paul Craddick- "In the Dark"

"Lives are running novels

At times you read, at times you write

The choice of which to do

Might keep you awake at night"

 

Enchant : Ted Leonard- "My Enemy"

"And the target's well with in my sights

But my hands won't release the bow

I've been pulling back on it so long

I've forgotten how to let it go

And I know I have the means

But my will is gone

And I fear I won't succeed

So I'm holding on"

 

Enchant : Ted Leonard- "Under the Sun"

"I've spent my life searching for something to keep me constantly content,

And now I'm left here with a longing for what I've spent"

[SoCalBrewfan]

Among others, yay for Merle Haggard. And Elliott Smith, RHP, and Wilco. And an extra big yay for Guy Clark...always trust your cape.

 

In that vein, the Late, Great Townes Van Zandt, probably my favorite songwriter and lyricist of all, a bit of Rex's Blues:

 

Legs to walk and thoughts to fly

eyes to laugh and lips to cry

a restless tongue to classify

all born to grow and grown to die

 

So tell my baby I said so long

tell my mother I did no wrong

tell my brother to watch his own

and tell my friends to mourn me none

 

I'm chained upon the face of time

feelin' full of foolish rhyme

there ain't no dark till something shines

I'm bound to leave this dark behind

 

Could probably quote a half dozen more but words on a screen don't do it justice of course...

Marillion : Fish- "Cinderella Search"

"Maybe it was infatuation,

or the thrill of the chase

Maybe you were always beyond my reach,

and my heart was playing safe

But was that love in your eyes I saw?

Or the reflection of mine?

I'll never really know for sure

You never really gave me time...."

 

Marillion : Fish- "Script for a Jester's Tear"

"The fool escaped from paradise

will look over his shoulder and cry

Sit and chew on daffodils

and struggle to answer why?

As you grow up and leave the playground

Where you kissed your prince and found your frog

Remember the jester that showed you tears,

the script for tears…"

 

Marillion : Fish- "Kayleigh"

"Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall?

Do you remember dawn escapes from moon-washed college halls?

Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square?

Do you remember? I thought it was confetti in our hair.

By the way, didn't I break your heart?

Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart

So sorry, I never meant to break your heart

But you broke mine"

 

Marillion : Steve Hogarth- "Fantastic Place"

"Take me to the island

I'll tell you all I never told you

The boy I never showed you

More than I gave in my life

Take me by the hand

You'll either kill me or you'll save me

Take me to the island

Show me what might be real life"

 

Marillion : Steve Hogarth- "The Great Escape"

"So tell me more,

About the love that you rejected.

Tell me more,

About the trust you disrespected.

I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one,

Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?"

 

Marillion : Steve Hogarth- "When I Meet God"

"And if the bottle's no solution,

Why does it feel so warm?

And if that girl is no solution,

Why did she feel so warm?

And if to feel is no solution,

Why do I feel?

Why do I feel so tired?

Why do I feel so broken?

Why do I feel so outside?

Why do I seem so blind?

...I'm so sick of feeling, it's ruined my life."

 

Marillion : Steve Hogarth- "Estonia"

"Finding the answer,

It's a human obsession

But you might as well talk to the stones and the trees and the sea,

'Cos nobody knows,

And so few can see,

There's only beauty and caring and truth beyond darkness"

 

Marillion : Steve Hogarth- "The Invisible Man"

"If I close my eyes, I can see where you live

Climb the winding stairs up to your apartment

The scent of you preparing his evening meal

I must watch in dread when he's cruel to you

In horrified silence as you make love

I cannot lift a hand, lift a hand to stop him

I don't exist

What can I do?

What can I do?"

[DougJones43]

The last time I freaked out, I just kept looking down

I st-st-stuttered when you asked me what I'm thinking 'bout

Felt like I couldn't breathe

You asked what's wrong with me

My best friend Leslie said "oh she's just being Miley"

The next time we hang out

I will redeem myself

My heart can't rest 'till then

Oh woah woah, I, I can't wait to see you again!
