beatbo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 How's it going "59LesPaul" and beatbo?" I thought that the lyrics to "Lola" said Cherry Cola but I quoted the lyrics word for word exactly as they were printed on the "Lola Versus Powerman And The Moneygoround Part One album. I guess that Ray Davies loved changing the lyrics while performing live in concert. I love The Kinks' "One For The Road" live DVD, it kicks ass! Ray Davies even shows and displays his funny humor side. The Kinks were the first Rock n' Roll band to have two brothers (Ray and Dave Davies) that fight it out on stage in front of everybody. The Black Crowes would soon follow in that tradition with the Robinson Brothers Chris and Rich fighting it out on stage as well. ROCK ON! i think the everlys duked it out a few times, too.... as for lola, i guess i'm gonna have to drag it out and play real quick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppFanForever Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have a few choices i can't choose between. The Spirit of Radio - Rush I love this song dearly, and the lyrics, which i have memorized, always make me feel something emotional in a good way. 1st choice. Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd It's Only Rock n Roll (But I Like It) - Rolling Stones one of my favorite stones songs. perfectly phrased lyrics. Search and Destroy - the Stooges "I'm a street-walkin' cheetah with a heart full of napalm..." edit: anybody that mentions either Kashmir or Stairway to Heaven shall be severely punished. Yes, they are all great lyrics, but too obvious and often-sated here. How's it going fellow die hard hard core ZEPPELIN fanatics? Again, you have come up with some great choices for Greatest Song Lyrics Ever. In my opinion, The Beatles would easily take that honor with "In My Life." Believe it or not, Marvin Gaye's classic song "What's Going On" featured on the legendary 1971 album "What's Going On" may also rank as one of the Greatest Song Lyrics Ever. Marvin Gaye had so much to say to not only his people, but to the whole world in general. The lyrics go word for word as follows: Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying. You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today - ya Father, father, father we don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today Picket line and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see Oh, what's going on What's going on Yeah, what's going on Ah, what's going on In the meantime Right on baby Right on, right on Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long Oh, you got to find a way To bring some understanding here today Oh Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Come on talk to me So you can see What's going on Yeah, what's going on Tell me, what's going on I'll tell you what's going on - Uh Right on baby Right on baby Janet Jackson once called Marvin Gaye "our John Lennon," I think that that quote is very appropriate that sums up Marvin Gaye beautifully. "What's Going On" is a true testament of Marvin Gaye's legacy. R.I.P. Marvin Pentz Gaye II, Born 2 April 1939, Died 1 day shy of his 45th birthday on 1 April 1984. Gaye was shot to death by his own father. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppFanForever Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 congrats on 500 posts! How's it going "beatbo?" Thanks for the congrats, I can't believe that I made it to 500 posts. WOW! There are so many great songs with great lyrics throughout Rock n' Roll history that I can keep posting them under this topic time and time again. Another great song that should rank as one of the All-Time Greatest Song Lyrics Ever is by a Irishman from Ireland that recorded a song that would be featured on the MOONDANCE album from 1970. The artist's name is none other than Mr. Van Morrison and the classic song that I am talking about is "Into The Mystic." The song goes like this word for word as follows: We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old Then magnificently we will float into the mystic And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float into the mystic Come on girl... Beautiful song, ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like this: How's it going "LedNoodle?" I usually like to address and greet everyone by including their user name. The job I do requires me to address people that way even if it means doing it over and over again. I guess I kind of got so used to it. ROCK ON!

59LesPaul Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'm pretty certain it's "cherry cola" in the original studio version.. But on the other hand, it was a while since I last listened to Lola. I met her in a club down in old soho Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [lp version: Coca-cola] C-o-l-a cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said lola L-o-l-a lola lo-lo-lo-lo lola I'm not saying that LyricsFreak is the definitive source-and I'm not trying to start shit,either-it's just that I'm always pleasantly suprised whenever I hear this song on the radio and it's the version that says Coca-Cola,and I've always wondered why it was changed in the first place.....

I copied the lyrics word for word off the CD album, that would be strange if there was a misprint on the album cover itself. I just have to ask you this question like I asked one of your fellow countryman here on the forum named "Chuck." Is it true what they say about Swedish women? I hear that Swedish women are wild lovers in the bedroom. What's your view on this? ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to check it out when I get home tonight and listen to the LP.. Interesting stuff. The one I've heard when I was in my teens might've been the single version or something then..

greenman Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time Plans that either come to nought Or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way The time is gone The song is over Thought I'd something more to say Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatbo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 How's it going "beatbo?" That clip is f*c*ing hilarious huh? Right on to "Swede!" ROCK ON! what's up, ZFF? btw, 'into the mystic' is a great song, both lyrically and musically. i once took a young woman from brazil to jazzfest in new orleans to see van the man, and i explained to her that although he was irish, she was going to see him sing like someone born in mississippi. to be honest, you could probably nominate a few van morrison songs for their lyrics-'tupelo honey', 'have i told you lately' is an awesome love song, probably more. my next nomination for one of the greatest song lyrics, i return to one of the best: bob dylan Though i know that evenin's empire has returned into sand, Vanished from my hand, Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. My weariness amazes me, i'm branded on my feet, I have no one to meet And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you. Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin'. I'm ready to go anywhere, i'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you. Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun, It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facin'. And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind, I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're Seein' that he's chasing. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you. Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, Let me forget about today until tomorrow. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, I'm not sleepy and there is no place i'm going to. Hey! mr. tambourine man, play a song for me, In the jingle jangle morning i'll come followin' you. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
