And you know darned well you'll be looking still when you head stops and your body is still." Also: "Weaver of Life, at last now I can see the pattern of my life gone by shown on your tapestry. After days of wondering I see the reason why. You've kept it to this minute, because I'm about to die" Edited December 22, 2017 by Count Bassy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 "If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor" Sit Down by James. Never a truer word. "With.....Without.

Japhet Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Can't say I really know what it means but I love these words. Van Morrison I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more I have seen without perceiving I have been another man Let me pierce the realm of glamor So I know just what I am I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more Feel the angel of the present In the mighty crystal fire Lift me up consume my darkness Let me travel even higher I'm a dweller on the threshold As I cross the burning ground Let me go down to the water Watch the great illusion drown I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more I'm gonna turn and face the music The music of the spheres Lift me up consume my darkness When the midnight disappears I will walk out of the darkness And I'll walk into the light And I'll sing the song of ages And the dawn will end the night I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more I'm a dweller on the threshold And I cross some burning ground And I'll go down to the water Let the great illusion drown I'm a dweller on the threshold And I'm waiting at the door And I'm standing in the darkness I don't want to wait no more I'm a dweller on the threshold Dweller on the threshold I'm a dweller on the threshold I'm a dweller on the threshold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldbass Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) Nothing profound here.....but Ian Hunters mastery of indecipherable language and picture building is insane....ive edited this down a bit. Alice. Now Alice needed money I put $10 on the breeze As the wind died away she sank way below her knees And as a hurricane passed by she clutched the money from the sky She must have been at least a fathom high She works the 42nd beat on 42nd street With all her golden ambitions and dead rhinestones in her feet And when a stranger said she sucked she just smiled believing luck As she climed into his truck to make a buck Me and my camera eyes sitting on a fence Laughing at the lights of New York City Alice..... you remind me of Manhattan The seedy and the snaz, the shoeboys and the satins Like a throne made of gilt that too many johns have sat in Oh, I got my eyes on you ROLL UP! See Alice on the palace where her name adorns the boards Ain't no flash in her Cannes, she got the willpower of a horse And it's a long way to Broadway from a 42nd lay Or is it really just a couple of blocks away Me and my stupidity sittin' on a fence And digging what I thought was New York City Edited December 25, 2017 by oldbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 "Hello Darkness my old friend..." I used to work with a fella who, knowing how songs stuck in my head, would sing just the opening line from a song, thus implanting the tune in my head....FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!!! The one above was a fave of his along with "They say that you're a runaround lover...", "What's new pussycat..", and many, many more....

Hobbayne Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) The Greeks post above just reminded me of this S&G song that had me thinking. He died last Saturday He turned on the gas, and he went to sleep. With the windows closed, so he'd Never wake up. Wow!

Graham Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Frank Turner's lyrics just resonate with me more than anyone elses, I remember when I got his album Love, Ire and Song that almost every song could have been about me, but this was particularly apt*: Well I've had many different girls inside my bed But only one or two inside my head These days I cuddle up to my guitar instead But oh, what I would give, not to stumble but to really fall in love And I could substitute my singing for the sound of someone sleeping next to me That really got me when I was single in my mid-twenties. Also, from a couple of albums later: Well I've said "I love you" so many times that the words kinda died in my mouth And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman, but somehow it never worked out But you stood apart in my calloused heart and you taught me and here's what I learned That love is about all the changes you make and not just three little words *Apart from the "many different girls bit, that never applied to me 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Now I've come across some wondrous lyrics in my time but when this occurred I was awestruck with amazement - and to perform it as well is a real feat. I think most of us are agreed, these guys are brilliant - this is just an extract - what a brilliant song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world.

A few years back in my late 30s I went through a marriage break up and escaped to the USA to get my head straight. Jesse Malin's lyric "meanwhile back across the pond, all my friend's are Dads and Moms" certainly struck a chord with me at the time.

FinnDave Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Pretty much anything by Robert Hunter will alter your world if you're in the right frame of mind... Well I ain't often right but I've never been wrong, Seldom turns out the way it does in the song. Once in a while you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right.

cetera Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 'Cinematic' lyrics from "Take Me Away (Together As One)" on the fantastic Paul Stanley solo album (1978) Yesterday is far away, so take me out to sea Far away, I'll live what never will be Check me, to lose or win, I'll live in memories The trip begins, the dream I'm in.... sets me free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
