59LesPaul Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Greatest song ever...... Women think I'm tasty But they're always tryin' to waste me And make me burn the candle right down But baby, baby I don't need no jewels in my crown Cause all you wimmen is low down gamblers Cheatin' like I don't know how But baby, baby There's fever in the funk house now This low down bitchin' Got my poor feet a itchin' Don't you know the deuce is still wild Baby, I can't stay You got to roll me And call me the tumbling dice Always in a hurry I never stop to worry Don't you see the time flashing by Honey got no money I'm all sixes and sevens and nines Say now, baby I'm the rank outsider You can be my partner in crime But baby, I can't stay You got to roll me And call me the tumbling dice Roll me and call me the tumbling dice Oh my, my, my I'm the lone crap shooter Playing the field every night Baby, can't stay You got to roll me And call me the tumbling dice Roll me and call me the tumbling dice Edited August 11, 2009 by 59LesPaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tangerine~ Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 ^ A really good song... but the Stones have even better ones One of my favorite songs: PINK-FLOYD-LYRICS.COM Echoes (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour) 23:27 Overhead the albatross Hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves An echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine. And no one called us to the land And no one knows the where's or why's. Something stirs and something tries Starts to climb toward the light. Strangers passing in the street By chance two separate glances meet And I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand The best I can. And no one called us to the land And no one crosses there alive. No one speaks and no one tries No one flies around the sun.... Almost everyday you fall Upon my waking eyes, Inviting and inciting me To rise. And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning. And no one sings me lullabyes And no one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide And call to you across the sky.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59LesPaul Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Well, when you're sitting there In your silk upholstered chair Talking to some rich folks that you know Well I hope you won't see me In my ragged company You know I could never be alone Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the mail Send me dead flowers to my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave Well, when you're sitting back In your rose pink Cadillac Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day I'll be in my basement room With a needle and a spoon And another girl to take my pain away Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the mail Send me dead flowers to my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the Queen of the Underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the US mail Say it with dead flowers at my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave No I won't forget to put roses on your grave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tangerine~ Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Favorite Rolling Stones song: Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl Her eyes were hazel And her nose were slightly curved We spent a lonely night at the Memory Motel It's on the ocean, I guess you know it well It took a starry to steal my breath away Down on the water front Her hair all drenched in spray Hannah baby was a honey of a girl Her eyes were hazel And her teeth were slightly curved She took my guitar and she began to play She sang a song to me Stuck right in my brain You're just a memory of a love That used to be You're just a memory of a love That used to mean so much to me She got a mind of her own And she use it well Well she's one of a kind She's got a mind She got a mind of her own And she use it mighty fine She drove a pick-up truck Painted green and blue The tires were wearing thin She turned a mile or two When I asked her where she headed for "Back up to Boston I'm singing in a bar" I got to fly today on down to Baton Rouge My nerves are shot already The road ain't all that smooth Across in Texas is the rose of San Antone I keep on a feeling that's gnawing in my bones You're just a memory of a love That used to mean so much to me You're just a memory girl You're just a sweet memory And it used to mean so much to me Sha la la la la She got a mind of her own And she use it well Mighty fine, she's one of a kind On the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze We've been ten thousand miles Been in fifteen states Every woman seemed to fade out of my mind I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried What's all this laughter on the 22nd floor It's just some friends of mine And they're busting down the door Been a lonely night at the Memory Motel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~tangerine~ Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 another favorite from the Stones: She comes in colors ev'rywhere; She combs her hair She's like a rainbow Coming, colors in the air Oh, everywhere She comes in colors She comes in colors ev'rywhere; She combs her hair She's like a rainbow Coming, colors in the air Oh, everywhere She comes in colors Have you seen her dressed in blue? See the sky in front of you And her face is like a sail Speck of white so fair and pale Have you seen a lady fairer? She comes in colors ev'rywhere; She combs her hair She's like a rainbow Coming, colors in the air Oh, everywhere She comes in colors Have you seen her all in gold? Like a queen in days of old She shoots her colors all around Like a sunset going down Have you seen a lady fairer? She comes in colors ev'rywhere; She combs her hair She's like a rainbow Coming, colors in the air Oh, everywhere She comes in colors She's like a rainbow Coming, colors in the air Oh, everywhere She comes in colors "She's A Rainbow" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppFanForever Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Cowgirl in the sand - Neil Young Hello cowgirl in the sand Is this place at your command Can I stay here for a while Can I see your sweet sweet smile Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same? It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game. Hello ruby in the dust Has your band begun to rust After all the sin we've had I was hopin' that we'd turn back Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game. Hello woman of my dreams This is not the way it seems Purple words on a grey background To be a woman and to be turned down Old enough now to change your name When so many love you is it the same It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game. How's it going "Puck Slapping Maple Sucker?" I hope all is well with you. WOW, there are so many songs that I know of with great lyrics by great bands. I see many song lyrics by THE BEATLES, LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD and THE ROLLING STONES. I'll have to quote many of them at a later date. One of my favorite ROLLING STONES songs is "As Tears Go By." It goes like this: AS TEARS GO BY Mick Jagger/Keith Richards It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Smiling faces I can see, but not for me I sit and watch as tears go by My riches can't buy everything I want to hear the children sing All I ever hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground I sit and watch as tears go by It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Doin' things I used to do, they think they are new I sit and watch as tears go by Mm mm mm...

His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean And you're the best thing that he's ever seen Stay lady stay, stay with your man awhile." Edited August 11, 2009 by Fan_S.

59LesPaul Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) I got a '69 Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot Outside the 7-11 store Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch And he rides with me from town to town We only run for the money, got no strings attached We shut 'em up and than we shut 'em down Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat Summer's here and the time is right For racin' in the street We take all the action we can meet And we cover all the northeast states When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street From the fire roads to the Interstate Some guys they just give up living And start dying little by little, piece by piece, Some guys come home from work and wash up, And go racin' in the street. Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats Calling out around the world, we're going racin' in the street. I met her on the strip three years ago In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. I blew that Camaro off my back, and drove that little girl away, But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes And she cries herself to sleep at night When I come home the house is dark She sighs, "Baby did you make it all right," She sits on the porch of her Daddy's house But all her pretty dreams are torn, She stares off alone into the night With the eyes of one who hates for just being born For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels, Rumbling through this promised land Tonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands. Tonight, tonight the highway's bright Out of our way, mister you best keep 'Cause summer's here and the time is right For racin' in the street.

ZPN Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 BEFORE I GO-John Hiatt I've been sleeping for some hours Just woke up and you were there Like the morning, like the flowers Sunlight whispering in my ears Red tail hawk shooting down the canyon Put me on that wind he rides I will be your true companion When we reach the other side I will try, I will stumble But I will fly, he told me so Proud and high or low and humble Many miles before I go Many miles before I go Can't decide which way to travel On the ground or in the sky All my schemes have come unraveled All that's left is you and I And I will try, but I will stumble And I will fly, he told me so Proud and high or low and humble Many miles before I go Many miles before I go Here I go Ghosts on the trees, there's Ghosts on the wires Asking questions and showing signs Shivering with truth, they're lighting fires Lighting fires all down the line And I will try, and I will stumble But I will fly, he told me so Proud and high or low and humble Many miles before I go Many miles before I go Proud and high or low and humble Many miles before I go Many miles before I go --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE RIVER KNOWS YOUR NAME-John Hiatt Oh the river knows your name And your tears falling like the rain All around you suffering and pain Oh the river knows your name And the river hears you cry As the lightning cracks the open sky As your momma sings a lullaby Oh the river she knows why Let the river wash you down Beneath the surface with a rushing sound Like a freight train passing through a town Let the river wash you down Let the river take away All the words you and I could never say In the silence darling let us pray Let the river take it all away Oh the river she knows your name From the brazos to the wabash to the seine No two journeys are ever quite the same But the river knows your name Oh the river knows your name ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DON'T FADE AWAY-Brendan Perry (Dead Can Dance) Don't fade away, my brown-eyed girl Come walk with me, i'll fill your heart with joy And we'll dance through our isolation. Seeking solace in the wisdom we bestow Turning thoughts to the here and ever after Consuming fears in our fiery halos Say what you mean, mean what you say I've heard that innocence has led us all astray But don't let them make you and break you The world is filled with their broken empty dreams Silence is their only virtue Locked away inside their silent screams But for now, let us dance away this starry night Filled with the glow of fiery stars And with the dawn our sun will rise Bringing a symphony of bird cries Don't bring me down now, let me stay here for awhile You know life's too short, let me bathe here in your smile I'm transcending the fall from the garden ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I SLEPT ALL NIGHT BY MY LOVER-Greg Brown Lookin out my window, glad to see another dawn A few cars strugglin through the snow It's so hard to believe it could all be here and gone So quickly that we wouldn't even know And I slept all night by my lover She trembles in her sleep, deep in a bad dream I touch her brow and she ceases shaking Why should I sleep with such a lovely watch to keep In an hour or so the children will be waking And I slept all night by my lover Madmen with guns stalk the deer at night And bring down the dark the whole world over Even in my dreams I see their shining eyes And they pierce me and leave me with no cover And I slept all night by my lover ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HEAVEN THAT I'M MAKING-Neil Finn (Crowded House) Plead with my saint Wash his hands and feet Find his complaint Make his world complete And this heaven that I'm making It can't come quickly enough And the big wave that I'm taking It feels like I'm just waking up Mind out don't think I can't get used to it Right on the brink I end up losing it And this heaven that I'm makin It can't come quickly enough And the big wave that I'm taking It feels like I'm just waking up And I'll be there If all of creation is kind Each conversation I hear As I'm walking in though the crowd As if I could float though the air This heaven This is heaven that I'm makin This is heaven It can't come quickly enough And this big boat that I'm taking Can't come by quickly enough If there is hell on earth There must be heaven too Both in one place And not a second to lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagemccartney95 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Stairway to Heaven Theres a lady who's sure All that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows If the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. Theres a sign on the wall But she wants to be sure 'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook There's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. Theres a feeling I get When I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen Rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who standing looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And it's whispered that soon If we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn For those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter. If theres' a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now, Its just a spring clean for the may queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you'e on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it won't go In case you don't know, The piper' calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind. And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How evrything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying a stairway to heaven. , Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
