[crazyme5kids]

Lots of songs inspire me! Right now I am listening to Jimmy Cliff "The Harder They Come". No EROS it is not about that LOL!!!!!!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Sorry for intruding upon your thread EROS but I would just like to say that JC2, who originated the Christian Music thread has never complained about your posting there one single time, in fact as far as I know NONE of the people who post there regularly have complained. I think everyone here should know that.

Carry on

 

[EROS]

Michelle, I can only speak for JC2 . I DO know that other posters there complained to the moderators because I was directly informed of their hostility about my posting............

"You xylo. You xylo no fi lo. You so."

-Sigur Ros, from ( ) ( The lyrics don't do it justice though. )

 

[Princess Michelle]

That would be why I said "as far as I know". I don't know who complained but I do know who did not and the majority did not and I don't think it's fair for people to be labeling us as intolerant because maybe one person out of many complained. I can assure you that I could care less what you do or don't post. There are much more important things in my life than worrying about that.

 

[Blondie]

Ooooo JTB, great song! I used to own I Robot as an 8-Track!



People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name

When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name

When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

 

[EROS]

I know it's late to call, I don't blame you
if you're angry
But these are things that only
old lovers understand
I remember rainy nights like this when
we'd go to bed real early
(And) try to catch each other's dreams
and wake up holding hands

We'd light a fire in the morning and
keep it burning strong
Outside it could be storming, but we
never felt so warm
We'd curl up on the couch and trade the
world for our love song
We'd light a fire in the morning and
make love all day long

I hope you know it's not that I've
got no one else to go to
Cause I keep thinking of you even
when I'm not alone
Now I'd love to hear you say I'm still
the one you can't say "no" to
and that's you'll take me back tonight
and for all the love we've known

We'd light a fire in the morning and
keep it burning strong
Outside it could be storming, but we
never felt so warm
We'd curl up on the couch and trade the
world for our love song
We'd light a fire in the morning and
make love all day long

 

[Blondie]

In the absence of security
I made my way into the night
Stupid Cupid keeps on calling me
But I see nothing in his eyes
I miss my baby (Oh yeah)
I miss my baby, tonight

So why don't we make a little room in my BMW babe
Searching for some peace of mind
Hey I'll help you find it
I do believe that we are practicing the same religion
Oh, you really ought to get up now
That's right
Oh, you really ought to get up

Everybody needs a little fast love baby
Everybody needs a little fast love (Don't you think?)
Everybody needs a little fast love baby (Can't you see it?)
Everybody needs a little fast love

Get to thinking
I've been bad
Hey,just think of all the fun I could have
Hey, I'd like to think of this as education
I'm talkin' 'bout a short term situation

Everybody needs a little fast love baby
Everybody needs a little fast love
I'll give you something to remember
Everybody needs a little fast love baby
Everybody needs a little fast love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got me some
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got me some
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got me some
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got me some

Gotta get up to get down
Gotta get up to get down

 

[EROS]

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she danced without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter
The different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost made it

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
Fly high and proud
And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

 

[EROS]

When your heroes go up in a puff,

And there's not enough to hang on to

And the ones you would count on to call

They all fall down all around you

Then you've got to believe there's more

It is the reason we're put here for

It's just you and I

When the legends' over - and we have just begun

We can look to each other to see us through

Just you and I

When a miracle's long overdue

And there's no one who's gonna come to guide you

So you keep looking up to the sky - wondering why

The clouds won't hide you

At the times when you're most afraid

That is the reason why dreams are made

It's just you and I

When the legend's over - and we have just begun

We can look to each other to see us through

Just you and I

 

[holycow]

I love to crank this song up when I need inspiration....or release frustration LOL

Roll With the Changes

As soon as you are able
Woman I am willing
To make the break that we
Are on the brink of
My cup is on the table
Our love is spilling
Waiting here for you to
Take and drink of

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

I knew it had to happen
Felt the tables turnin'
Got me through my darkest hour
I heard the thunder clappin'
Felt the desert burnin'
Until you poured on me
Like a sweet sunshower

So if you're tired of the
Same old story
Turn some pages
I'll be here when you are ready
To roll with the changes

Roll with the changes

[oldkicker]

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Something a little different.

High Hopes

Next time you're found with your chin on the ground
There's a lot to be learned so look around
Just what makes that little ol' ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant can't
Move a rubber tree plant

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
So any time you're getting low
'Stead of letting go,
Just remember that ant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant.

When troubles call and your back's to the wall
There's a lot to be learned, that wall could fall.
Once there was a silly ol' ram,
Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam;
No one could make that ram scram,
He kept buttin' that dam

But he's got high hopes... he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie in the sky hopes
So any time you're feeling bad
'Stead of feeling sad
Just remember that ram.
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam!

So keep your high hopes, keep your high hopes.
Keep your high apple pie in the sky hopes.
A problem's just a toy balloon
They'll be bursting soon
They're just bound to go POP!
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.
Oops there goes another problem kerplop.
Kerplop!




No lyrics of course, but I find Ravel's Bolero inspiring!

Here's one of my favorites:

<center>- Easy to Be Hard
How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to give in
Easy to help out

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
</center>

 

[Blondie]

This was my theme song in 1986--when I moved from Phila. to Maine.


Take that look of worry
I'm an ordinary man
They don't tell me nothing
So I find out what I can
There's a fire that's been burning
Right outside my door
I can't see but I feel it
And it helps to keep me warm
So I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

Seems so long I've been waiting
Still don't know what for
There's no point escaping
I don't worry anymore
I can't come out to find you
I don't like to go outside
They can't turn off my feelings
Like they're turning off a light
But I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Cos I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

Take that look of worry, mine's an ordinary life
Working when it's daylight
And sleeping when it's night
I've got no far horizons
I don't wish upon a star
They don't think that I listen
Oh but I know who they are
And I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind
Oh I, I don't mind
No I, I don't mind

So take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home
Cos I don't remember
Take, take me home, oh lord
Well I've been a prisoner all my life
And I can say to you

But I don't remember
Take, take me home...

 

[vickyBaby]

Oh, I want to play too.

From the movie Times Square (it was an awful movie).

DAMN DOG

I can lick your face
I can bite it too
My teeth have rabies
I'm gonna give them to you

Feed me
Feed me
Can't you hear me howl

Feed me
I'm a damn dog now

Bridge Over Troubled Water


Simon/Garfunkel

When you' re weary feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough
And friends just can t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you re down and out
When you re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you ooh
I'll take your part oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around


Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

 

[BWVDenise]

I think you've all gone mad!
