Share your greatest song or lyric???

[Martial Tucker]

Hey MT my clever friend wow! I am glad for your interpretation of this as this is exactly how I hear it also and with Dylan absolutely the pen is truly mightier than the sword and it says so very much about a writer that their songs are even subject to interpretation which is a far cry from some of the made-to-a-cost musical drivel in production currently. And PLEASE try to track Fast Car I am surprised you do not know this but I PROMISE as a Dylan fan you will have already an innate appreciation for Fast Car and Tracy Chapman a wonderful artist. If you can do that for me I would be a happy bunny to know I had truly shared the song with you.

Jen, making you a "happy bunny" would make my day! Consider it done!

Couldn't sleep and for some reason or other this sounded REALLY good:

Audioslave -"I Am the Highway"
Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night

Couldn't sleep and for some reason or other this sounded REALLY good:

Audioslave -"I Am the Highway"

Hey you well I am impressed at who you are liking and I can say no more and even if I have posted this one up already I think I need to post it up again seeming exactly appropriate and with reference to Audioslave I will say you will NEVER beat this song ever and so for you my friend is Audioslave Be Yourself

Someone falls to pieces sleepin all alone
Someone kills the pain spinning in the silence
To finally drift away someone gets excited
In a chapel yard catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone, and another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united? Healthy or insane?

To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

And even when you've paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
With every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

You may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do

This week, it's Queen:

Look into my eyes and you'll see
I'm the only one
You've captured my love
Stolen my heart
Changed my life
Every time you make a move
You destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears
With a single sigh
Every breath that you take -
Any sound that you make
Is a whisper in my ear
I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die
If you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you
Anywhere you go, I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep till I find you to tell you
That you just take my breath
away

 

[Martial Tucker]

All my life's a circle;
Sunrise and sundown;
Moon rolls thru the nighttime;
Till the daybreak comes around.
All my life's a circle;
But I can't tell you why;
Season's spinning round again;
The years keep rollin' by.
It seems like I've been here before;
I can't remember when;
But I have this funny feeling;
That we'll all be together again.
No straight lines make up my life;
And all my roads have bends;
There's no clear-cut beginnings;
And so far no dead-ends.

I found you a thousand times;
I guess you done the same;
But then we lose each other;
It's like a children's game;
As I find you here again;
A thought runs through my mind;
Our love is like a circle;
Let's go 'round one more time.

Marian - The Sisters of Mercy

In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....

Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me

CHORUS
I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
Marian

I heard this on the radio today. Brought back a flood of early teen memories...simpler times

Hey Lisa yes I understand exactly the simpler times that we all wish for as the panacea for everything complicated we face... and Kiss for you well you give yourself away with that ya big rock chic!! ha! Well I have a choon for ya and another from the 80s that was actually worth saving from that era of which so much was nasty but this is from the man with the spiky white hair and which I hope you know Billy Idol and I think this is super and a very thoughtful and evocative song Eyes without a Face...

I'm all out of hope, one more bad break could bring a fall
When I'm far from home don't call me on the phone to tell me your alone
It's easy to deceive it's easy to tease but hard to get release
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much time believing all the lies to keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad it makes me mad at truth for loving what was you.
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dip into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
Hangin' out by the state line, turnin Holy water into wine, Drinkin it down oh,
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so say your prayers, say your prayers, say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes and I wonder why I don't despise
Now all I can do is love what was once so alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes I'd better realise
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.

We're the restless hearted, not the chained and bound
The sky is burning: a sea of flame
Though your world is changing I will be the same
Slave to Love, slave to love

We're too young to reason too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter, I can see your smile
No I can't escape I'm a slave to love

And you will have to tell me where it is from thank you and well I cannot match ya on this at all and so I will give you something which I think is not a million miles away and a song which has a meaning for me I will say and I hope you like and yes another 80s band pffft but this is better than to be categorised as such and Tears for Fears.. Memories Fade which is a song that makes me pensive and the chorus is a killer for me...

There's only need, I love your need so much I'm losing me
I cannot see the reason for the Pain
With hungry joy I'll be your toy just hoping you will play
Without the hope my body starts to fail

Memories fade... but the scars still linger
Goodbye my friend, will I ever love again?
Memories fade... but the scars still linger

I cannot grow, I cannot move, I cannot feel my age
The vice-like grip of tension holds me fast
Engulfed by you what can I do when history's my cage
Look foward to a future in the past?

The more I talk, the more I say, the less you seem to hear
I'm speechless in a most peculiar way
Your mind is weak, your need is great and nothing is too dear
For you to use to take the Pain away

Memories Fade...
No don't pretend you can justify the end
Memories fade... but the scars still linger

Ahh mister Technopunk my pirate friend and you are one exactly after my own heart and the Sisters and the Mission and the Nephilim were my fav lovely goth guys from a while back and I do not know that any of them are even still in existence??

Temple of Love .. Sisters of Mercy

In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and air remains
The only haven you can trust

And the devil in a black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

Where Eagles Dare

[Harris]

It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
of engines roar in the night,
The mission is near the confident men
are waiting to drop from the sky.

The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare.

Bavarian alps that lay all around
they seem to stare from below,
The enemy lines a long time passed
are lying deep in the snow.

Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare.

They're closing in the fortress is near
it's standing high in the sky,
The cable car's the only way in
it's really impossible to climb.

They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day.

The panicking cries the roaring of guns
are echoing all round the valley,
The mission complete they make to escape
away from the Eagles Nest.

They dared to go where no one would try
they chose to fly where eagles dare.

Ah, Mr. Bryan Ferry. Sleazy? Perhaps...perhaps. I loved Ferry and, especially, Roxy Music.

As far as my heart on my sleeve? I will not argue that point; for, it is true.

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they're blowing?
As free as the wind
Hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
There's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we're going?
No care in the world
Maybe I'm learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
You know there's nothing
More than this
Tell me one thing
More than this
No, there's nothing
More than this, nothing
More than this
More than this, nothing

And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger

Here is a good one for my mood at 7:30 in the morning with no coffee... its Geektastic.

Khavi - Marching Orders

Go-Backs, going back but held here,
Go-Backs, halted here in the snow,
Go-Backs, with the Trolls before us,
War before us, shout the chorus:
Someday, someday, back we'll go.

Tall deer, that we ride, snow-shrouded,
Tall deer, with their daggered horns,
Tall deer, carry us to battle.
Warriors' cattle. Hard hooves rattle.
Leap and leap, 'til the ice is torn.

Hard hearts, like our weapons wielded.
Hard hearts, tempered strong as steel.
Hard hearts, as the ice has made us --
Hope betrayed us, Trolls invade us --
Strike and strike for the fire we feel!

Long wind, with an ice-grain edging,
Long wind, with a blade of snow,
Long wind, at our backs for bracing,
Battle facing, arrows racing,
Stand as friend or turn as foe.

Bloodlust -- just another weapon.
Bloodlust, running fire and ice.
Bloodlust makes the surer fighter,
Bowstrings tighter, sword-arms lighter.
What you kill won't fight you twice.

Short life, with a dream to hold us.
Short life; do your breeding fast.
Short life, with no time for grieving,
Live by reaving, die believing.
Live it well; it will not last.

High dream that forever draws us,
High dream, where the peaks stand tall,
High dream, past the mountains' walling
Snowflakes falling, ever calling:
"Come to me, and I'll give you all."

Sharp blades, with the gift of metal.
Sharp blades we have learned to use.
Sharp blades, whether made or looted,
Skills recruited, doubt refuted --
Gifts like these we can't refuse!

Go-Backs, in a rage of hunger,
Go-Backs, only show us how.
Go-Backs like your answers, stranger.
Welcome, Ranger, to our danger.
Mount and ride and go back now!

Thank you Jenna,

I've not heard that song, but the lyrics hit me on several levels....
As for my song, the artist was a ballad singer who was killed in a traffic
accident in NYC a year before you were born. The more songs I post, the more I show my age! Here's another one of my fave's that is also older than you are:

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

Its where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
Thats what the wall of love is for.

Its not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
Its more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it
You wont believe its true.
That all the love youve been giving
Has all been meant for you.

Im looking for someone to change my life.
Im looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what its done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And shes waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.

Im looking for someone to change my life.
Im looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what its done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.

Its not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
Its more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

Its where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?

"A Private Future" - Love and Rockets


Thinking of your private future
You snatched at the trees
In the starry dark green sleep
Thinking of your private future
You think at the river and set it flowing
A late fog's lifting a fast wind's rising
So you turn to reflect on your brief life
Session slip

Thinking of your private future
Cut by the scars of timeless coming back
Realize the unreachable is nothing
Cool winds wash down your hope and you slipped
Cool winds wash down your hope and you slipped

God's good to the humble
As the devil is to fools
Stop looking back in anger
Cause you can't change the rules
Believe in where you're going
But don't lose your yesterdays
To terrify to cry its true
Your life is just a game

So I need a million dollars
To sit on mountain tops
To see the stars surround you
Is to see an awful lot
I see the work of sinners
I see the work of saints
So I see the work of everyone
That's ever ever been

Sleep without reason
Your laughing masks your love
You've got so many scars
How does it feel deep in your heart?

Cause when the covers blown over
It'll crack up your skin
So now you're drowning your sorrows
In whiskey and sin

Live the life you love
In the god you trust
And don't take it all to seriously

 

[Andy Moynihan]

Hey KT

Wow, thanks for that. This stuff really kicks a$$ but be careful now with that axe, you'll have somebody's eye out! Seriously, yeah I know what you mean and thanks for the link - I'm a collector see? Training needs something to get the blood coursing you're absolutely right. Well, an oldie (sort of) but goodie, I pop on a sprinkle of the sweeties who call themselves Rammstein. Nothing like that thumpin Du Hast to get the fight mentality - of course I'm a lover not a fighter don'tcha know, ha! But just for you badboys....

Du
Du hast
Du hast mich
Du hast mich gefragt
Du hast mich gefragt und ich habe nichts gesagt

​

Arguments over the translation I know but the band's own non literal version on the sleeve I have is

You
You hate
You hate me
You hate me to say
You hate me to say and I did not obey

​

I dunno what the h3ll that means but hey, it's damned hard when ya spit it venomously in german, LOL. Rock on!

Yr most obdt hmble srvt,
Jenna

The problem is that "Hast" in German is "have" and "hasst" is Hate, and they are pronounced identical , and to someone who doesn't speak German this is confusing. Here is what the song would look like once I put the words back the way they go:

Du
Du Hasst
Du Hasst Mich

Du hast mich gefragt
Du hast mich gefragt
Du Hast mich gefragt
Und Ich hab nichts gesagt

Willst du bis der tod euch scheide
Treu ihr sein fur alle tage?

NEIN!

NEIN!


It's about a man refusing to marry as I will translate( the first half is my rough English translation and the rest is Rammstein's lyrical translation as they wanted it to rhyme in English( it doesn't in German):

You
You hate
You hate me

You have asked me
You have asked me
You have asked me
And I have said nothing

WIll you until death does sever/
Be upright to her forever?

Never!

Never!

Andy Moynihan,

That is correct. Good one. Just checked with the wife (originally from Germany) and she agreed.
