Favorite Song Lyrics

[shogunblade]

I'm an E.L.O. fan through and through, so my favorite song lyrics happen to be a tough one for me.

1st - "Shangri-La"
Sitting here, waiting for,
Someone calling at my door,
Too bad,
I'm getting out of love.

What's the use of changing things,
Wonder what tomorrow brings,
Who knows,
I'm getting out of love.

CHORUS
My Shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue

Clouds roll by and hide the sun,
Raindrops fall on everyone,
So sad,
I'm getting out of love.

The Entire Album "Eldorado", with its opening lines:

"Eldorado Overture"
The dreamer, the unworken fool, In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow. The love of ages fills the head. The days that linger there in prey of emptiness, Of burned out dreams. The minutes calling through the years. The universal dreamer rises up above his earthly burden. Journey to the dead of night. High on a hill in eldorado...

And Probably "Eldorado" itself:
Here it comes, another lonely day, playing the game,
Ill sail away on a voyage of no return to see
If eternal life is meant to be
And if I find the key to the eternal dream.

The painted ladies of the avalon play in the sun,
Take to the road, to the north there lies the chills of cold,
To the south there lies the tales untold.
But in between there lies the place to close your eyes.

And I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.

Say goodbye, the citys heroes sing, bird on the wing
Feel, feel so free through the life upon the rooftop haze,
All the cheating and the broken days.
So through it all I see theres nothing left for me.

So I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.

Sitting here on top of everywhere, what do I care.
Days never end, I know the voyages end will soon be here,
No eternal life is here for me.
And now I found the key to the eternal dream.

Then I will stay, Ill not be back, eldorado.
I will be free of the world, eldorado.
Then I will stay.

Leonard Cohen- Take this Waltz

There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues

And that is why neo-Nazis thrive. Sheer jealousy.

The entire song is beautiful. Look it up

Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say.
Look around you find the ground
Is not so far from where you are
Don´t too wise
For down below they never grow
They're always tired and charms are hired
From out of their eyes
Never surprise.

Take your time and you'll be fine
And say a prayer for people there
Who live on the floor
And if you see what's meant to be
Don't name the day or try to say
It happened before.

Don't be shy you learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free
Yes, be what you'll be.
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say.

Open up the broken cup
Let goodly sin and sunshine in
Yes that's today.
And open wide the hymns you hide
You find reknown while people frown
At things that you say
But say what you'll say
About the farmers and the fun
And the things behind the sun
And the people round your head
Who say everything's been said
And the movement in your brain
Sends you out into the rain.

I <3 Nick Drake.

 

[Orang.Otang]

The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
will not be televised, will not be televised.
The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
The revolution will be live.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

One of my favorite couple of lines from Don't Believe A Word by Thin Lizzy:

Don't believe a word,
For words are so easily spoken.
And your heart is just like that promise,
Made to be broken.

Vermillion pt2

Spoiler

She seemed dressed in all of me
Stretched across my shame,
All the torment and the pain
Leaked through and covered me.

I'd do anything to have her to myself,
Just to have her for myself.

Now I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to do
When she makes me sad.

She is everything to me,
The unrequited dream,
The song that no one sings,
The unattainable.
She's a myth that I have to believe in,
All I need to make it real is one more reason.

I don't know what to do,
I don't know what to do when she makes me sad.

But I won't let this build up inside of me.
I won't let this build up inside of me.
I won't let this build up inside of me.
I won't let this build up inside of me.

A catch in my throat, choke,
Torn into pieces, I won't. No.

I don't want to be this but
I won't let this build up inside of me (won't let this build up inside of me) x4

She isn't real.
I can't make her real.
She isn't real.
I can't make her real.

This Calling

Spoiler

I secretly crave, crave that scent again
Still feel it pressing on me now
Now with the onset, my flesh is weakening
I steel my nerves for temptations at hand again

And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling out

No secret deception, for these would tear this down
I'll note the past, spread the pain (spread the pain)
Words match my deeds with brutal honesty
Never forget these choices were made by me

And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear (and I hear) this calling out

Not falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me
Though I am fearful I will not prevent this tragedy
My strength's been tested, I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through

And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear this calling
Still you don't seem so far at all
And I hear (and I hear) this calling out

My strength's been tested, I wear the scars that prove
Still I believe that this calling will see me through
Still I believe this calling will see me through, oh
