I've stolen this idea from a Buffy Board I post on.

Post up your favourite song lyrics.

I'm being very predictable and starting it off with Darius.

I adore this song, it is one of the B Sides on Incredible and is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard for a very long time.

-------------------------------------------------------------

FRAGILE – Darius Danesh

Empty Moonlight, heavy moon
puts the sun to bed too soon.
Hungry halftruth overflows
betrays the silver ring she chose.
Encouraged kisses, teasing touch
Kills a thirst to yearn this much
the bliss abandon, velvet trust
An open heart confused by lust.

She didn’t need me –
I – needed time to just hold on
and so she bleeds me dry
cannot pretend that I’m that strong

In a fragile world
I have agile faith
in my fragile bones.
Won’t break in haste.
So the serpentine girl
with the turpentine words
won’t light me up, won’t burn me out.
- not today

Loving lavished, a lover scorned
Petals red with blood from thorns
Careless promise, empty words
A smile from tears, a grace from curse
Stolen whispers, a jealous rain
wet the lips of truth in vain
Straining anchor, a kiss denied
builds a dam to hold her lies.

She didn’t need me –
I – needed time to just hold on
and so she bleeds me dry
Cannot pretend that I’m that strong

In a fragile world
I have agile faith
in my fragile bones.
Won’t break in haste.
So the serpentine girl
with the turpentine words
won’t light me up, won’t burn me out.
- not today

In a fragile world
I have agile faith
in my fragile bones.
Won’t break in haste.
So the serpentine girl
with the turpentine words
won’t light me up, won’t burn me out.
- not today
Its my saving grace
Its my fading grace

[susieq]

I love this song and I find it really uplifting. It was a big hit in the US but not over here - shame.

'I hope you dance' - LeAnn Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake, but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out - reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

I hope you dance.

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

Dance.

I hope you dance.

I don't know that at all Susieq, but I love the words. I want to hear it now.

[Di2001]

I know it sounds morbid, but this is a song I'd like to be played at my funeral. It is such a moving, powerful song.....

Everybody Hurts by REM

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on.
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on.
Everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
everybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.

[Graeme]

Typical Me

Avril Lavigne
I'm With You

I'm standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
Searching for a face
Is anybody here I know
'Cause nothing's going right
And everythigns a mess
And no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Oh why is everything so confusing
Maybe I'm just out of my mind
Yea yea yea

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Won't you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the hand
Take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
But I... I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...

Me like that song

How about this:~
JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL
Written by Neil Diamond
BE
Lost
On a painted sky
Where the clouds are hung
For the poet's eye
You may find him
If you may find him

There
On a distant shore
By the wings of dreams
Through an open door
You may know him
If you may

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way

And we dance
To a whispered voice
Overheard by the soul
Undertook by the heart
And you may know it
If you may know it

While the sand
Would become the stone
Which begat the spark
Turned to living bone
Holy, holy
Sanctus, sanctus

Be
As a page that aches for a word
Which speaks on a theme that is timeless
While the Sun God will make for your day
Sing
As a song in search of a voice that is silent
And the one God will make for your way

He Stopped Loving Her Today
George Jones

Words and Music by Bob Braddock and Claude Putman, Jr.

(peak Billboard position # 1 in 1980)

He said "I'll love you till I die", she told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind

He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all, hoping she'd come back again

Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red every single "I love you"

I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

SPOKEN
You know, she came to see him one last time. Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she
would. And it kept runnin' through my mind-"this time he's over her for good."

He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Cheery little number Miriam!!!

[susieq]

I don't know that at all Susieq, but I love the words. I want to hear it now.

LEE - you can listen to it on the Web. Put the song title in one of the search engines and somewhere, in the list it gives you, will be the chance to listen to it. It's a gorgeous song and I hope you get the chance to hear it.

This is on behalf of Janette:

I am a Cider Drinker

When the moon shines on the cow shed,
And we're rollin in the hay,
All the cows are out there grazin',
And the milk is on it's way.

I am a Zider Drinker,
I drinks it all of the day,
I am a Zider drinker,
It soothes all me troubles away.
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay,
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay !!! (Properjob you wanna try zum youngun !)

It's so cosy in the kitchen,
With the smell of rabbit stew,
When the breeze blows cross the farm yard,
You can smell the cow shed too. (Auugh ! Never smelt nothin like it in all me life !)
When those combine wheels stop turning,
And the hard days work is done,
There's a pub arround the corner,
It's the place we 'ave our fun.(Oh arrr we'll 'ave zum fun an' all !!)

I am a Zider Drinker,
I drinks it all of the day,
I am a Zider drinker,
It sooths all me troubles away.
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay,
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay !!!(Come on youngun, get a couple of pints down ee then !)

Now dear old mable, when she's able,
Takes a stroll down lovers lane,
And we'll sink a pint of scrumpy,
Then we'll play ole natures game, (Oh Arr !)
But we end up in the duck pond,
When the pub decides to close,
With me britches full of tad poles,
And the newts between me toes ! (Urgh !)

I am a Zider Drinker,
I drinks it all of the day,
I am a Zider drinker,
It sooths all me troubles away.
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay,
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay !!! (Come on youngun, get on up there !)

I am a Zider Drinker,
I drinks it all of the day,
I am a Zider drinker,
It sooths all me troubles away.
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay,
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay,
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay,
Oooh Arrr Oooh Arrr Ay !!!

Let Zider be the spice of life ! Ah Harrrrr !





Oooh Arrr!

[BigSister]

Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down,
Oh no, so don't you bring me down today

To all your friends your delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is

Cause’ you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring you down
Cause’ you are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring you down
Oh no, so don't you bring me down today

No matter what we do
No matter what we say
We’re the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes


And everywhere we go
The sun will always shine
But tomorrow will find a way
And tomorrow we might awake
on the other side

Cause’ we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Oh no, so don't you bring me down today

Oh yeah don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

[sweetlittlesara]

Goo Goo Dolls.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cuz I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cuz sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
Cuz I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
