Pink Floyd - Jugband Blues

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear
That's I'm not here.

And I never knew that we could be so thick
And I never knew that the moon could be so blue
And I'm greatful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter.

And the sea isn't green
And I love queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.

 

Celluliod Heroes - The Kinks



Everybody's a dreamer and everybod's a star,
And everybody's in movies it doesn't matter who you are.
There are stars in every city,
I every house and on every street,
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete!

Don't step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard,
She looks so weak and fragile that's whe she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne,
But she turned her back on stardom,
Because she wanted to be alone.

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some suffered in vain.
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
And he looks up lady dresses as they sadly pass him by.
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
'Cos he's liable to turn and bite,
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because hers was such a lonely life.
If you covered him with garbage,
George Sanders would still have style,
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile,
But please don't tread on dearest Marliyn
'Cos she's not very tough,
She should have been made of iron or steel.
But she was only made of flesh and blood.

You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly heard of
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in show biz, it doesn't matter who you are.

And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure along
Along Hollywood Boulevard

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes.
Because celluliod heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never die.

You can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you've hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.

Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
Oh celluloid heroes never really die.

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never eally die.

 

"A Synonym For Acquiesce" by Bayside

Empty fields move me so much more then rooms filled up with friends.
The way the trees look dead
reminds me that there's more to life then living.
Maybe giving up's not bad, but part of letting go of you.
If I surrender to this feeling maybe all the aches and pains will go and I can close my eyes, never again to have them open till I bleed out all I've been.
I don't want to be alone no more, no more
Take this razor, sign your name across my wrists
so everyone will know who left me like this
Empty fields move me so much more then rooms filled up with friends.
The way the trees look dead
reminds that there's more to life then living.
Maybe giving up's not bad, but part of letting go of you.
So take this razor, sign your name across my wrists
so everyone will know who left me like this.
Sew me up, my scars run deep
A reminder not to forget the times that we've had.
I'll never waste another second. I have wasted so much time
and I have wasted, wasted so much time
so much time
Take this razor, sign your name across my wrists
so everyone will know who left me like this.
Sew me up, my scars run deep
A reminder not to forget the times that we've had.

 

God damn some1 beat me to "It's Alright Ma (Im Only Bleeding)"-Bob Dylan. That song truly captures the power that lyrics can have in a song.

 

Run of the Mill, by George Harrison, off of his masterpiece of an album, "All Things Must Pass"

Everyone has choice
When to and not to raise their voices
It's you that decides
Which way will you turn
While feeling that our love's not your concern
It's you that decides

No one around you
Will carry the blame for you
No one around you
Will love you today and throw it all away
Tomorrow when you rise
Another day for you to realize me
Or send me down again

As the days stand up on end
You've got me wondering how I lost your friendship
But I see it in your eyes

Though I'm beside you
I can't carry the lame for you
I may decide to
Get out with your blessing
Where I'll carry on guessing

How high will you leap
Will you make enough for you to reap it?
Only you'll arrive
At your own made end
With no one but yourself to be offended
It's you that decides


~Layla

 

and "The Day the World Gets Round" off of George's album "Living in the Material World"

The day the world gets 'round
to understanding where it is,
Using all it's found,
to help each other, hand in hand

The day the world gets 'round
to understanding where it's gone
Losing so much ground
killing each other, hand in hand
Such foolishness in man
I want no part of their plan - OH NO

If you're the destructive kind
Now I'm working from day to day
As I don't want to be like you
I look for the pure of heart
And the ones that have made a start,

But Lord, there are just a few
who bow before you,
in silence they pray,

Oh how they pray for the day the
world gets 'round

Using all they've found
To help each other, hand in hand

The Day The World Gets 'Round


~Layla

 

Now, if you're feeling kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying;
Futures coming much too slow,
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on staying,
Can't decide on which way to go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Chorus :-
I understand about indecision,
But I don't care if I get behind.
People living in competition;
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Yeah.
O-o-oh.

Now you're climbing to the top of the company ladder,
Hope it doesn't take to long.
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter,
Come a day when you'll be gone.

Chorus

Take a look ahead.
Take a look ahead.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Guitar Solo]

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on giving.
Doesnt mean too much to me.
Lots of people have to make-believe they're living,
Can't decide who they should be.

Chorus

Take a look ahead.
Take a look ahead.
Look ahead
