Songs that say "name"

[E&Cmom]

"Like A Prayer"- Madonna

Life is a mystery,
Everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like home

[Chorus:]
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice, I hear your voice
Feels like flying
I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

[Chorus x2]

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name
And it feels like...

[Chorus x2 (with Choir)]
(Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me)

"One road to loneliness
It's always the same
One road to happiness
It's calling your name"

 

[Hikergirl]

I'm sure its been mentioned, but it's one of my favorite songs so it's worth mentioning again

Candle in the Wind - Elton John

Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

He says, "His name is William"
But I'm sure he's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy

Don't Call Us, We'll Call You - Sugarloaf

A Long distance directory assistance, area code 212
Say hey, A and R this is mister rhythm and blues
He said hello, and put me on hold
To say the least the cat was cold
He said, don't call us child we'll call you

I said, you got my number
He said yeah, I got it when you walked in the door
Don't call us, we'll call you
Don't call us, we'll call you

I got your name from a friend of a friend
who said he used to work with you
Remember the all night creature from stereo ninety two
Yeah I said could you relate to our quarter track tape
You know the band performs in the nude
He said uh huh don't call us child we'll call you

Listen kid you paid for the call
You ain't bad but we've heard it all before
And it sounds like John, Paul and George

Any way, we cut a hit and we toured a bit
with a song he said he couldn't use
And now he calls and begs and crawls
It's telephone deja vu
We got percentage points and lousy joints
And all the glitter we can use, Mama
So, uh huh, don't call us now, we'll call you

Listen kid you paid for the call
You ain't bad but I've heard it all before
Don't call us, we'll call you
Don't call us
Don't call us, we'll call you

I haven't heard in decades, you get 10 points for this

Pride U2
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go.
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

Ringo Starr. I'm the greatest.

Yes, my name is Billy Shears,
You know it has been for so many years.

Irene Wilde - Ian Hunter

When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
At barker street bus station every night

When I tried to get it on she just looked at me with scorn my courage
Turned to dust and I took flight

For those looks they seemed to say
You ain't nuthin' go away
You're just a face in the crowd so I went home and I vowed
I'm gonna be somebody someday

Her name was irene wilde oh such beauty for a child
When she started dating boys I nearly died
For I could not barely stand to see someone hold her hand
I felt I had to crawl away and hide

In my mother's living room I composed so many tunes
All the same just a frame for her name, and just to say
Gonna be somebody someday

Wild as your name I soon left that country town
I been around, seen some fame, seen some ups and seen some downs
Smile through your shock when you hear your name aloud
It's that face in the crowd didn't dig it much too proud...

When I was just sixteen I stood waiting for a dream
A barker street bus station non affair

At the time it seemed so sad, but it did not turn out bad
If you hadn't messed me up I'd still be there
And I think most folks agree, a little put down makes them see
They ain't no chain just a link and that's why you made me think
Gonna be somebody be somebody be somebody someday
