The Lyrics to One of Your Favourite Songs

[Pah]

A gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady.
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-doo-dah-day
Ah-dee-doo-ah-dee-day-dee
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

She left her father's castle gate.
She left her own fine lover.
She left her servants and her state
To follow her gypsy rover.

She left behind her velvet gown
And shoes of Spanish leather
They whistled and they sang 'till the green woods rang
As they rode off together

Last night, she slept on a goose feather bed
With silken sheets for cover
Tonight she'll sleep on the cold, cold ground
Beside her gyspy lover

Her father saddled up his fastest stead
And roamed the valley all over.
Sought his daughter at great speed
And the whistlin' gypsy rover.

He came at last to a mansion fine
Down by the river Claydee.
And there was music and there was wine
For the gypsy and his lady.

"Have you forsaken your house and home?
Have you forsaken your baby?
Have you forsaken your husband dear
For a whistling gypsy rover?"

"He is no gypsy, my Father," she cried
"but Lord of these lands all over.
And I shall stay 'til my dying day
with my whistlin' gypsy rover."​

 

[Majikthise]

Very cool.

Country Feedback - REM

This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop
These clothes,
These clothes don't fit us right
I'm to blame
It's all the same
It's all the same

You come to me with the bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out

We've been through fake-a-breakdown
Self-hurt, plastics, collections
Self-help, self-pain,
EST, psychics, **** all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paperweight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged
A hotline, a wanted ad

It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this

It's crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had
I need it
I need this

It's crazy what you could've had
It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I-I need this

It's crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this
It's crazy what you could've had

Crazy what you could've had
I need this
I need this
Crazy what you could've had
Crazy what you could've had

 

[Bastet]

A gypsy rover came over the hill
Down through the valley so shady.
He whistled and he sang 'til the green woods rang
And he won the heart of a lady.

I remember I used to go around singing this song for hours when I was a teenager...it'd get stuck in my head and there'd be no getting rid of it. I'll be singing it all day now.

 

[Lightkeeper]

I still believe in roses and clover
and sharing your love over and over
and big bumble bees
with their sweet golden honey
love's always better
than diamonds and money.

A Lightkeeper song written about 25 years ago.

 

[Bastet]

One of my favourite songs...of course, I have about a hundred 'favourite' Bee Gees songs, and then there are the hundreds of songs by other artists that I love. This one is always guaranteed to make me smile when I hear it. ​

Wildflower, by The Bee Gees ​

​

Wildflower,
Sacrifice everything
In a wonderland that you know.
It's crazy that I'm
Clear out of my mind,
A wonderful place to be.

Wildflower,
Sweet as the morning light,
If I blink an eye, will you go?
I'm starting to care
Much more than I dare,
A wonderful thing to see.
And what do we know?


First say you love me
And then say you leave me,
But we never say goodbye.
God, you're an angel
But even an angel must choose.
Someone will hurt you
And when you stop running,
There's only this love of mine.


Wildflower,
Sacrifice everything
In a wonderland that you know.
If older is wise,
One look in your eyes,
I'm younger than I should be.
And only time
Waiting for you to grow.


First say you love me
And then say you leave me,
But we never say goodbye.
God, you're an angel,
But even an angel must choose.
Someone will hurt you
And when you stop running,
There's only this love of mine.


Wildflower,
Sacrifice everything
In a wonderland that you know
If older is wise,
One look in your eyes,
I'm younger than I should be.
And only time
Waiting for you to grow.

Glad to have helped

I remember I used to go around singing this song for hours when I was a teenager...it'd get stuck in my head and there'd be no getting rid of it. I'll be singing it all day now.

What gets stuck in my head is Barry Manilow songs. I once spent three days with "I can't smile without you" running like a continuous loop. I swear it was there when I went to sleep and when I woke up. Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!! Get it out! Get it out!

btw, I love the Brothers Gibb!

Nittle Grasper - Sleepless Beauty

From far away, let your eyes shine; those who have awakened are still waiting.
Seduce the ramparts of the night in the cast-off pile of skins left by things that now live elsewhere.

(without an exit) If you intend to survive the impact
(to the point where you fall apart) Enrapture the deceits

You who have been reborn, color your eyes without smiling alone.
Even if the world you've longed for has suddenly burned to ash, in some miracle we could still brush into each other.

(Hold me gently in order to break me)

Be exposed in a state of purity, like a flower whose petals have fallen.
You're just beginning to notice the days are shining jewels cupped in your hand.

(A cold hand) gathers up the shed thorns, so
(A banked flame) continues to smolder

Let's depict the vividly dancing thoughts found in that place of light that is unreachable even now.
Don't fear the passage of time, so that words of guidance won't completely spill out and flow away.

(And there's no way out) (I'm falling further down)

To the reincarnation of you, I say color your eyes without smiling alone.
Even if the world you've longed for has suddenly burned to ash, the miracle could still happen to come again.

Let's depict the vividly dancing thoughts found in that place of light that is unreachable even now.
Don't fear the passage of time, so that words of guidance won't completely spill out and flow away.

(Hold me gently, always catch me, more and more, in order to break my heart)

 

[Majikthise]

Oh yeah,

The moon,
Beautiful,

The sun,
Even more beautiful,

Ooooooooooh yeah.


Oh yeah/Yello

Couple of my Favs (only a couple as I have LOTS)

Artist: Leonard Cohen
Song Title: HALLELUJAH
Album Lyrics: Various Positions
[Buy " Various Positions " CD]

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Now maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Is how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not complaint you hear tonight
And it's not some pilgrim who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
==========================

From the Group Kansas

I close my eyes
only for a moment
and the moment's gone
all my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity
dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
just a drop of water
in an endless sea
all we do
crumbles to the ground
though we refuse to see
dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

Now, don´t hang on
nothing lasts forever,
but the earth and sky,
it slips away
And all your money
won`t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind
dust in the wind
everything is dust in the wind
dust in the wind
everything is dust in the wind

=========================

Broadsword lyrics

I see a dark sail on the horizon set under a black
cloud that hides the sun.

Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding.
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.

Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding.
Bring me my cross of gold as a talisman.
Bless with a hard heart those who surround me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind. Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on for the motherland

[Green Gaia]

Hold Me Now
by The Polyphonic Spree

He started the day with a mood and a shake.
He was finally arranged.
And someone said with a cold, hard chest, "You're a mess!"
He woke up at nights.
He thought he was twice.
He was moving away
cause everyone thinks that it goes away with age.

Hold me now.
Don’t start shaking.
You keep me safe.
Don't ever think you're the only one
when times are tough in your new age.

Hold me now.
Don’t start shaking.
You keep me safe.
Don't ever think you're the only one
when times are tough in your new age.
You better be cool at the time.

He’s walking along with his soul in his lungs.
Ya stare at him long you can find a new song.
Everyone thinks they've got a new phrase.
But you're still miles away.
You're still miles away.
I said, "You're still miles away."

(Repeat 2x)
Hold me now. Don't start shaking.
You keep me safe.
Don't ever think you're the only one
when times are tough in your new age.

Instrumental Bridge

(Repeat 4x)
Hold me now. Don't start shaking.
You keep me safe.
Don't ever think you're the only one
when times are tough in your new age.

 

[Majikthise]

Lightning Crashes,a new mother cries
her placenta falls to the floor
the angel opens her eyes
the confusion sets in
before the doctor can even close the door

Lightning Crashes,an old mother dies
her intentions fall to the floor
the angel closes her eyes
the confusion that was hers
belongs now,to the baby down the hall

Oh now feel it comin' back again
like a rollin' thunder chasing the wind
forces pullin' from the center of the Earth again
I can feel it

Lightning Crashes,a new mother cries
this moment she's been waiting for
the angel opens her eyes
pale blue colored iris,presents the circle
and puts the glory out to hide,hide

live


this song makes me tear up

 

[Scuba Pete]

On a sad note: The BSA has advised us that this song is inappropriate for Scouts to sing.

​

​

Scout Wetspers​

Tune: Scout Vespers (Oh, Tannenbaum)​

Softly falls the rain today​

As our campfire floats away.​

Silently, each Scout should ask​

"Did I bring my SCUBA mask?​

Have I tied my tent flaps down?​

Learned to swim, so I won't drown?​

Have I done, and will I try​

Everything to keep me dry?"​

Cab Calloway, Blues Brothers

Hey folks here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher

She was a low-down Hoochie Koocher
She was the roughest toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi
Hodey odey odey oh
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho

She messed around with a bloke named smokey
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the gong around

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi
Whooooooaaaap!
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho
She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with the platinum wheels

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi
Whooooooaaaap!
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee

Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho

He gave her is townhouse and his racin' horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times

Hidey Hidey Hidey Hi
Whooooooaaaap!
Heedey Heedey Heedey Hee
Hidey Hidey Hidey Ho

Poor Min', Poor Min', Poor Min'

All you have to do is call
And I'll be there yes I will

The death of a disco dancer
well, it happens a lot 'round here
and if you think Peace
is a common goal
well, that goes to show
just how little you know
The death of a disco dancer
well, I'd rather not get involved
I never talk to my neighbour
I'd just rather not get involved
Love, peace and harmony?
Love, peace and harmony?
Oh, very nice
very nice
very nice
very nice
...but maybe in the next world

[Lycan]

May the power that be forgive me for what I am about to post...

I heard a song on my daughter's Avril Lavine cd and really liked it...

I wake up in the morning
put on my face
the one thats gonna get me
through another day

it doesn't really matter
how I feel inside
this life is like a game sometimes

then you came around me
the walls just disappeared
nothing to surround me
and keep me from my fears

I'm unprotect
see how i've opened up
oh, you've made me trust

I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
does it show
you see right through me
and i can't hide
i'm naked around you
and it feels so right

trying to remember
why i was afraid
to be myself and let the
covers fall away
guess i've never
had someone like you
who help me fit
in my skin

I've never felt like this before
I'm naked around you
does it show
you see right through me
and i can't hide
i'm naked around you
and it feels so right

Staind - "Epiphany"

Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said

So speak to you in riddles
Cause my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
and feel it wash away
cause i can't take anymore of this
I want to come apart
and dig myself a little hole
inside your precious heart

Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet i always try to hide
cause i talk to you like children
though i don't know how i feel
but i know i'll do the right thing
if the right thing is revealed

Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said

It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The t'ings dat yo' li'ble
To read in de Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.

Li'l David was small, but oh my !
Li'l David was small, but oh my !
He fought Big Goliath
Who lay down an' dieth !
Li'l David was small, but oh my !

Wadoo, zim bam boddle-oo,

He floated on water
Till Ol' Pharaoh's daughter,
She fished him, she said, from dat stream.

Well, it ain't necessarily so
Well, it ain't necessarily so
Dey tells all you chillun

But it ain't necessarily so !

Don' snap for a sebben !
Live clean ! Don' have no fault !
Oh, I takes dat gospel
Whenever it's pos'ble,
But wid a grain of salt.

Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
Methus'lah lived nine hundred years,
But who calls dat livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man what's nine hundred years ?

I'm preachin' dis sermon to show,
It ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't nece-ain't nece
Ain't necessarily ... so !
