Hello everybody,
I thought I would make this new thread so that everybody could post their favourite song lyrics here.

Let me begin by posting a song by Modern English (an 80's band) called I melt with you.

Hope you like it.

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(You should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hates
(You should see why)
Trapped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race
(You should see why)
Never comprehending the race has long gone bye

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all
the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

**The future's open wide

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the
time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the
world)
There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)

I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)

I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)

Hope to see some more lyrics from everyone.

Salam,
Brian

I’m scared of swimming in the sea
dark shapes moving under me
every fear I swallow makes me small
inconsequential things occur
alarms are triggered
memories stir

it’s not the way it has to be

I’m afraid of what I do not know
I hate being undermined
I’m afraid I can be devil man
and I’m scared to be divine
don’t mess with me my fuse is short
beneath this skin these fragments caught

when I allow it to be
there’s no control over me
I have my fears
but they do not have me

walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods
the deeper I go, the darker it gets
I peer through the window
knock at the door
and the monster I was
so afraid of
lies curled up on the floor
is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

I cry until I laugh

I’m afraid of being mothered
with my balls shut in the pen
I’m afraid of loving women
and I’m scared of loving men
flashbacks coming in every night
don’t tell me everything’s alright

when I allow it to be
it has no control over me
I own my fear
so it doesn’t own me

walking through the undergrowth, to the house in the woods
the deeper I go, the darker it gets
I peer through the window
knock at the door
and the monster I was
so afraid of
lies curled up on the floor
is curled up on the floor just like a baby boy

I thought for a moment there it reminded me of Poe's "The Raven", but that's quite different...nice... wonder what music went with it... Not the crash boom bang type i hope...
Well my favorite lyrics are actually in arabic mmmm slang egyptian to be precise.....Written by by the late "Salah Jahin" ....Very much like Rubaiyat El Khayam (4 liners) but they were not "translated" from persian so the words still have that music to them.......They were made into a song....not the whole thing, anyway, I dunno if i should attempt translating my favorite parts. I'll have to think about it...

Salam, brian& all other friends!
great idea, brian!
what can reflect a person more than music he or she is listening to or lines of lyrics that are touching the heart!
here is the song by "guns`n`roses", playing just now in my room , i always listen to it when feel melancholy!

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
On their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
Own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
On their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

hi every body
[Y:] I feel you, from beyond the walls you speak to me
[M:] Christine my love Paris now will worship you
You will star soon I'll kill to make it sure for you
[Y:] Oh my love, won't you please show yourself to me
[M:] Soon I'll take you in my kingdom you're the queen.
It's dark and peaceful but my face you'll never see, no

[M:] Oh Christine on this eve I will come for you
[Y:] Erik my love, I've waited all my life for you
Please just take me I need to be with you
[M:] Take my hand, through the catacombs my lair awaits
[Y:] Caverns, mazes, the underworld and the blackest lake.
Enticing danger, your passion feeds me I'm your slave

[Y:] Now I've bathed in fear. I will not leave here
[M:] Breathe deep the darkness. Breathe deep the madness
[Y:] I'm so cold inside. Mental suicide
[M:] Breathe deep the darkness. Breathe deep the sadness

[M:] Oh Christine don't you know it's all for you
Carlotta's head and the other death's I planned.
All for you, to have your night in the spotlight.
From now on forevermore you will only sing for me

[Y:] So you are, you are the legend. The Phantom Opera Ghost
[M:] I am what man has made me. With his hate and cruel ways
[Y:] Why are you?
[M:] Why am I?
[Y&M:] The Phantom Opera Ghost
[Y:] I have to see
[M:] You'll never see
[Y&M:] What's behind the mask

[Y:] I'm so torn between love, death, life, and hate
[M:] Don't you doubt me, what we have is just our fate.
I now own you from this day forth; you'll be my slave
[Y:] Oh Dear God for this life I've lost the will
[M:] No this can't be I'd rather you die than spoil my dream.
Myself I'll kill if I can't have you no one will

hi brian hi every body again
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you

The wretched desert takes its form, the jackal proud and tight
In search of you, I feel my way, though the slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents, I swear it make no sense
I reach through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me

In the swirling, curling storm of desire unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief and offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf
Come on, come talk to me

Ah please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me

[Chorus 1:]
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me [x2]

The earthly power sucks shadowed milk from sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk the bugles blown as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed like there's no-one there at all
There's a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me

Won't you please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me

[Chorus 2:]
Don't you ever change your mind
Now your future's so defined
And you act so deaf and blind
(And you act so deaf so blind)
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me [x2]

I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart it will not be denied
'Til we're both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away

I said please talk to me
Won't you please come talk to me
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel now
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me [x2]

I said please talk to me
If you'd just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you'd only talk to me
[Chorus 2]

Come talk to me, Peter Gabriel.

HI Brian,
Sorry I couldn't pick just only one, here's
two from "THE MAN" Billy Joel


Leave A Tender Moment Alone

Even though I'm in love sometimes I get so afraid
I'll say something so wrong - just to have something to say
I know the moment isn't right - to tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light - I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind
but if thats how I feel -
Then its the best feeling I've ever known,
Its undeniably real -
Leave a Tender Moment Alone

Yes I know I'm in love
but just when I ought to relax
I put my foot in my mouth - cos I'm just avoiding the facts
If the girl gets too close, if I need some room to escape
When the moment arose - I'll tell her its all a mistake
But thats not how I feel - No thats not the Woman I know
She's undeniably real -
So leave a tender moment alone


But its not only me, breaking down when the tension gets high
Just when I'm in a serious mood - she is suddenly quiet and shy..
MMMMmmmmmmmmmmm
Leave a Tender Moment alone
leave a Tender Moment - Leave it Alone.....
leave A Tender Moment Alone

I know the moment isn't right - to hold my emotions inside
To change the attitude to high I've run out of places to hide

But if thats how I feel - then its the best feeling I've ever known
Its undeniably Real
Leave a Tender Moment Alone....

An Innocent Man

Some people stay far away from the door - If theres a chance of it opening up.
They hear a voice in the Hall outside and hope that it just passes by.....
Some people live with the fear of a touch and the anger of having been a Fool
They will not listen to anyone, So nobody tells them a lie...
I know your only protecting yourself - I know your thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you but I'm not above, making up for the love, you've been denying you could ever feel....
I'm not above doing anything - to restore your faith if I can.....
Some people see through the eyes of the old, before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry - because I - am an Innocent Man

I Am an Innocent Man - Oh yes I Am

Some people say they will never believe, another promise they hear in the dark..
Because they only remember too well, they heard sonmebody tell them before...
Some people sleep all alone every night instead of taking a lover to bed...
some people find that its easier, to hate, than to wait, anymore......
I know you don't want to hear what I say....
I know your gonna keep turning Away.......

But I've been there and if I can survive - I can keep you alive -
I'm not above going through it again....
I'm not above being cool for a while - if your cruel to me I'll understand....
Some people run from a possible fight,some people figure they can never win
And though this is a fight I could lose the accused, is an Innocent Man..

I am an Innocent Man Oh Yes I Am an Innocent Man

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite..
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
Thats your decision - but I'm not below, anybody I know,
if theres a chance of resurrecting a love...
I'm not above going back to the start to find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure - some people just accept the world as it is
I'm not willing to lay down and die because I am an Innocent Man
I Am An Innocent Man - Oh Yes I am - An Innocent Man...............

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only this, and nothing more."


Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;— vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow— sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here for evermore.


And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me— filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—
This it is, and nothing more."


Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"— here I opened wide the door;—
Darkness there, and nothing more.


Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
Merely this, and nothing more.


Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore—
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;—
'Tis the wind and nothing more."


Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed
he;But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door—
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door—
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.


Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."


Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning— little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door—
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore."


But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered— not a feather then he fluttered—
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "other friends have flown before-
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said, "Nevermore."


Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore—
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of 'Never— nevermore'."


But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."


This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!


Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee— by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite— respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."


"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!— prophet still, if bird or devil!—
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted—
On this home by horror haunted— tell me truly, I implore—
Is there— is there balm in Gilead?— tell me— tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."


"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil— prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us— by that God we both adore—
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."


"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked, upstarting—
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!— quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."


And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted— nevermore!

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door—
Only this, and nothing more."


Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;— vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow— sorrow for the lost Lenore—
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore—
Nameless here for evermore.


And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me— filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door—
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;—

Now, the song
"Color of the night" Loran Cristy FAVOURITE!

You and I, moving in the dark
Bodies close but souls apart
Shattered smiles, secrets unrevealed
I need to know the way you feel

I'll give you everything I am, and everything I want to be
I'll put in your hands, if you could open up to me
Oh, can't we ever get beyond this wall
'Cause all I want is just once, to see you in the light
But you hide behind the color of the night

I can't go on running from the past
Love has torn away this mask
And now like clouds, like rain, I'm drowning and I blame it all on you
I'm lost, come save me
And I'll give you everything I am, and everything I want to be
I'll put in your hands, if you could open up to me
Oh, can't we ever get beyond this wall
'Cause all I want is just once to see you in the light
But you hide behind the color of the night

Everything I am, and everything I want to be
Oh, can't we ever get beyond this wall
'Cause all I want is just once
I'm waiting for you, I'm standing in the light
But you hide behind the color of the night

Please come out from the color of the night

Hi again, everybody
Here is another song that I love it's by U2 and it's called "A Beautiful Day"

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town


You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere


You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace


It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away


You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination


You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you


It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case


See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out


It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case


What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

When I see the sun is shinning and the weather is hot I love to listen to this song.

Salam,
Brian

Wherever you go
Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do

I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
Waiting for you


Hi Tall_Peincess,
Love this song. Reminds me of someone. I think no matter what two people should be together.

Always good to see a post from you.

Be good!

Salam,
Brian

Brian: you are so right!!!! and Tall Peincess : your song is SO beautiful....


Here are some lyrics:
Phil Collins..............Groovy kind of love!

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When you're close to me, I can feel your heart beat
I can hear you breathing near my ear
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love

Anytime you want to you can turn me onto
Anything you want to, anytime at all
When I kiss your lips, ooh I start to shiver
Can't control the quivering inside
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love, oh

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do
Is take a look at you, then I'm not so blue
When I'm in your arms, nothing seems to matter
My whole world could shatter, I don't care
Wouldn't you agree, baby you and me got a groovy kind of love
We got a groovy kind of love

Barbara Streisand - Woman In Love Lyrics
Life is a moment in space
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning good-bye
But down inside you know
We never know why

The road is narrow and long
When eyes meet eyes
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time
They planned it all at the start
That you and I
Live in each others heart

We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

I am a woman in love
And I'm talkin' to you
You know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right I defend
Over and over again

I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?

Here I like the words soooooo much!

Brian Adams - Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman Lyrics
To really love a woman,
To understand her,
You've got to know her deep inside
Hear every thought,
See every dream,
And give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms,
You know you really love a woman

CHORUS:

When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman,
You tell her that she's the one
She needs somebody, to tell her that it's gonna last forever
{2nd}(She needs somebody, to tell her that you'll always be together)

So tell me have you ever really...really, really ever loved a
woman

2nd VERSE

To really love a woman,
Let her hold you,
Till you know how she needs to be touched
You've got to breathe her, really taste her
Till you can feel her in your blood
And when you see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman

BRIDGE:

You've got to give her some faith,
Hold her tight, a little tenderness
You've got to treat her right
She will be there for you taking good care of you
You really gotta love your woman

And when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms,
You know you really love a woman

CHORUS
CHORUS
CHORUS

cannonball

there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it’s still a little hard to say what's going on

there’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
you step a little closer each day
that i can’t say what's going on

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that i can't see what's going on

stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..
stones taught me to fly
love taught me to cry
so come on courage
teach me to be shy
'cause it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna scare her
it's not hard to fall
and i don't wanna lose
it's not hard to grow
when you know that you just don't know


damien rice, best album in the world for broken hearts..............

Depressive song, yet so encouraging if you manage it:

the news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
while the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
and i can’t handle this

i grieve for you
you leave me
let it out and move on
missing what’s gone
they say life carries on
they say life carries on and on and on

life carries on
in the people i meet
in everyone that’s out on the street
in all the dogs and cats
in the flies and rats
in the rot and the rust
in the ashes and the dust
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

it’s just the car that we ride in
a home we reside in
the face that we hide in
the way we are tied in
and life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on

did I dream this belief?
or did i believe this dream?
now i can find relief
i grieve

"it was only one hour ago

it was all so different then

there's nothing yet has really sunk in

looks like it always did

this flesh and bone

it's just the way that you would tied in

now there's no-one home"

Monica.. it is called Just Another Nervous Wreck by Supertramp

I'm feeling so alone now
They cut the telephone uh huh
Yeah my life is just a mess

I threw it all away now
I could have made a fortune
I lost the craving for success

And as the acrobats they tumble
So the corn begins to crumble
While in the mirror
She admires a brand new dress

Live on the second floor now
They're trying to bust the door down
Soon I'll have a new address

So much for liberation
They'll have a celebration
Yeah I've been under too much stress

And as the cloud begin to rumble
So the juggler makes his fumble
And the sun upon my wall is getting less

Don't, give a damn
Fight, while you can
Kill, shoot 'em up
They'll run amuck
Shout, Judas
Loud, they'll hear us
Soldier, sailor
They'll run for cover when they discover
Everyone's a nervous wreck now

I used to think she was so nimble
Would have bought her as symbol
But now I can't afford the pen to sign her checks
Don't give a damn............................

They'll run for cover when they discover
Everyone's a nervous wreck now
Life's just a bummer they got your number
We'll give as good as we get now
Rise from the gutter, stick with each other
We'll drive 'em over the edge now
They're gonna bleed, that's what they need
We'll get together and blow their cover
We're ready

I like very much this one, but it is a friend's favourite

Cheers


I'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes
And how serene your friends and fiends
We flew and strolled as two eliminated gently
Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me
------
You know you've got that heart made of stone
"stone hearted man "

You should have let me know
You could have let me know
--------
We'll go 'till morning comes
And traffic grows
And windows hum
--------
Speding all week with your friends
Give me evenings and weekends
Evenings and weekends
--------
I could be yours
We can unwind
All these half floors
All these half floors
You'd agree it's a typical high
You fly as you watch your name go by
And once the name goes by
Not thicker than water nor thicker than mud
And the eight k thuds it does
-----------
Sunset so thickly
Let's make it quiet and quickly
Don't frown
It taste's better on the way back down
-------------
I could be yours
We can unwind
All these half floors
All these half floors
All these half floors
Will lead to mine
-----------------
We can unwind
All these half floors
All these half floors
Will lead to mine
Will see to
All these half floors
All these half floors
Will see to
All these half floors
Will lead to mine
We can unwind all our flaws
We can unwind all our flaws

This one always makes me smile, especially when my husband sings it with his sweet accent..lol

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah

Louis Armstrong

I'm going to post two songs by the late and great songwriter/singer Nick Drake, from his last album, Pink Moon

Harvest Breed

Falling fast and falling free, you look to find a friend.
Falling fast and falling free, this could just be the end?
Falling fast you stoop to touch and kiss the flowers that bend
and you're ready now for the harvest breed.


From The Morning

A day once dawned, and it was beautiful. A day once dawned from the ground.
Then the night she fell and the air was beautiful. The night she fell all around.
So look see the days, the endless coloured ways,
and go play the game that you learned from the morning.

And now we rise and we are everywhere. And now we rise from the ground.
And see she flies, she is everywhere. See she flies all around.
So look see the sights, the endless summer nights
and go play the game that you learned from the morning.

Janet Jackson: Rhythm Nation

With music by our side
To break the color lines
Let's work together to improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage, come forth with me

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life?
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in number we can make it right one time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

This is the test
No struggle no progress
Let's lend a hand to help your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make them better
It's time to give a damn, let's work together

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life?
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in number we can make it right one time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

I found this song on another fourm, I thought you guys might like it. It is a remake of Eminem's Lose Yourself

You can download the song here, and also read the lyrics there also
http://www.freewebs.com/sonofthenile/

Here are the lyrics for the song:

Title : "Lose Yourself in the Masjid"
Artist : Raef Haggag

Lyrics by : Irfan Karimullah


Asalamu alaikum, wa rahmatullahi, wa baraktuh


Bro... if you had... one shot...one opportunity...
To seize everything you ever wanted... in one moment... 
Would you capture it?  or just let it slip... Yo... 

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Been praying qiyam all night already, 3 hours steady
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To be imam, but he keeps on forgetting what he had down, 
Shaytan grows so loud
He opens his mouth but the words won't come out
He's choking - how? 
Everybody looking now!
His sobs come out, times up, over blaow!!
Snap!
Back to reality, oh there goes gravity,
Oh there goes Ahmad, he choked
He's so sad but he won't
Give up that easy nope,
He wont have it
He knows he'll go back and he won't choke
He'll be better, he'll show
He knows that, when he froze
But not mad, cuz he knows
When he goes back to his humble home that when it's
Back to the words again, he'll learn the verse again
Go back to capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

** Chorus **
You better - lose yourself in the Masjid, 
the moment you own it, you better never let it go
You only got one shot, do not miss your chance to glow 
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime 
You better - lose yourself in the Masjid
the moment you own it, you better never let it go
You only got one shot, do not miss your chance to glow 
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime 
You better... 
** Chorus end **


Moms are weeping, for their kids that are leaving
this deen for dating and cheating
That's not the thing!
We got to move toward a new world order
A kafir life is calling, 
Life starts falling,
Islamic life soaring,
It only grows harder
The Fire grows hotter, horn blows, its all over
As Sahaina all on us, coast to coast shows,
Showing Islam as improper
Lonely road...
God only knows we've grown larger in sum, 
but yet farther from the straight path, 
do fardh but not Sunnah
But hold your hopes cuz we know we got Allah
These fools don't scare us no more! - We got stronger
Time to move on to the next goal and show
the whole world that we've got the life topped by nada
Its gold, like I've told, I suppose its old partner,
But the a than goes on "Allahu Akbar"

** Chorus ** 

No more games, imma change what I call faith
Break through this prison of dunya and come uncaged
I was playing in the beginning, but the mood all changed

Give up girls for the pearls, and do my praying at the rite time, 
and at night cuz im brighter
Best believe angles are flawless deed writers
All the pain inside purified by the fact that I can 
pray my salah 1 to 5, and I can provide the right type of 
life for my self,
cuz jeez these good deeds - Hadith sure teach taqwa
and there's no excuse, 
there's no path that's righter

This is my life!
But these times are so hard 
And its getting even harder
trying to keep the taqwa an also stay a baller 

I thought and I'm caught- between reading Quran and a Tolkien Saga,
TV dramas, traumas speaking on and on 
that I should wanna stay in one spot
But I know I cannot
I've gotten me to the point I can't fail
I've got to formulate a plot
Or end up in hell - its hot 


Success is my only Allah-loving option,
Failure's not! 
God I love you, but I know I have got to show

I cannot grow old with sins a lot
So here I go its my shot!
Faith fail me or not!
This may be the only opportunity that I got!

** Chorus **

You can do anything you set your mind to brother,
Just have the right niyyah,
Do what you can,
And have trust in the most high...

this song is by george michael from the album listen without prejudice:,

these are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers

This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses

The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take our chances
'cause god's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us all out to play
Turned his back and all god's children
Crept out the back door

And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time

These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year

This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here

So you scream from behind your door
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much but i'll take my chances
'cause god's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he can't come back
'cause he has no children to come back for

It's hard to love there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time

hope u like it:-)

This song is for somebody speical. You know who you are.

Will you still love me

Take me as I am
Put your hand in mine now and forever
Darling here I stand, stand before you now
Deep inside I always knew

It was you, you and me
Two hearts drawn together bound by destiny
It was you, and you for me
Every road leads to your door
Every step I take for evermore

*Just say you'll love me
for the rest of your life
I gotta lotta love
and I don't want to let go
Will you still love me
for the rest of my life
'Cause I can't go on
No, I can't go on
I can't go on
If I'm on my own

Take me as I am
Put your heart in mine,
stay with me forever
'Cause I am just a man
who never understood
I never had a thing to prove

'Till there was you, you and me
Then it all came clear so suddenly
How close to you that I wanna be

Chorus

Do you believe a love could run so strong
Do you believe a love could pass you by
There was no special one for me
I was the lonely one, you see
But then my heart lost all control
Now you're all that I know

Chorus

I can't go on
No, I can't go on
'Cause I can't go on
Will you still love me?
No, I can't go on
Just say you love me
I can't go on
Without somebody I can call my own
'Cause I can't go on
Will you still love me?
No, I can't go on
Just say you love me
Just stay around
'Cause I can't go on
Will you still love me?
No, I can't go on
Just say you love me
I can't go on
If you could say your love
'Cause I can't go on
Will you still love me?
No, I can't go on
Just say you love me
Stay around, you'll never be alone

All the best,
Brian

Is it too cheesy to say I love all George Michael's lyrics?

Especially "Careless Whispers"

El Helm El Arabie

"The Arab Dream"

the song can be downloaded at:
http://www.aramusic.com/dream.htm

Our dream will live in the hearts of generations after generations.
And what we say today will be our life-long commitment.

Chorus:
Perhaps the darkness of the night will distance us,
But the light's rays can reach the furthest sky.
This is our dream, for all our lives, an embrace to enfold us, all of us.

The dream is not impossible, so long as its fulfillment is conceivable.
And if the night becomes long, definitely afterwards there will be dawn.

Live up to all that you are, even when the truth is the difficult path.
Try, and you shall arrive; the dignity of the attempt will suffice.

Prove yourself to your own Time; believe in your ambitions, you will succeed.
Let your eyes see the truth, and the truth will be seen by others.

Challenge the world and revolt, and learn to remain courageous.
The journey of a thousand miles, starts with a single step.

Justice needs strength, so that you can protect it.
Never, by rhetoric and complaints, will the rightful land return.

Love has fire and spark, and eyes filled with hope.
Children, with stones in their hands, will reinvent the world.

From anywhere in the world, we speak the Arabic language.
And in the loudest voice and heartbeat, we call unity a rebirth.

Our children everywhere, are the light of the nations' eyes.
Fairness, Love, Goodness ... , are our message for all Time.

Sing and say with us: Art is aspiration and success.
From sadness, we create joy, from our thoughts, a path and a life.

A word of truth in a song, is spoken and passes in a second;
Perhaps after years, it may change the world with it.

Let the songs be true, and plan your time for action.
Love will find a door for all the closed paths.

The song cancels borders, and the heart is its nation;
As long as we live, we'll sing; as long as we can, we'll love.

Love is not by words, but by actions and feelings.
Be a light, a smile, a song, and a guide for the paths of others.

Our dream, for all Times, is the unity of all nations.
All the disagreements will disappear; it is enough that you are human.

Your art is your homeland in the exile; you'll find the proof wherever you go.
Sing of people and friendship, you'll find the world to be beautiful.

Love, in all the world's languages, and condense the years into seconds.
The bird's destiny is to fly, and our destiny is to sing these songs.

We hope the dream will become real, and break all hardened silences.
It is not too much for the truth to be bright, even while they call it foolishness.

The tree was a seed, and the story was an idea.
And since we love and dream, we'll reach the path of tomorrow.

[words printed in the video...]
The seed began with a vision ...
and the vision was a dream ...
A dream ... ended with a touchable reality
Operetta ... The Arab Dream
23 Arab dreamers participated in the singing ...
They came together from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Gulf.
95 performers, in love with the dream, fulfilled the dream
... and the dream continues

AT NOON I GOT TO THE AIRPORT,DEAR:-),
(sung to the tune of "it came upon the midnight clear")
at noon i got to the airport ,dear,
with more than three hou-rs to spare;
i made my way to se-curi-ty
my suit-case packed with great care,
they scanned my body---a buzz was heard,
and very much to my surprise,
they shoved me into an airtight room---
my guards...were two armed GI's,

they stripped me down to my boxer shorts,
(i soon had to sheed them as well);
they sicked 2 dobermans on-to me
my pri-vate they did smell,
they searched my suitcase for con-tra-band,
and dumped all my desenex---
one said..."it's anthrax,no doubt!"

they threw me into a dungeon cell,
they leg irons cramping cell,
they fed me slop,though i must admit
it beat airline food by a mile
five weeks i suffered,but now i'm free,
just thankful that i'm alive,
i've learned my lesson and that is why---
i think..next christmas i'll drive.
i hope u like it to,and there is more:-)

Holy Wars...


Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand.

Fools like me who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?

A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand.

The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands.

Holy wars

Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgment
Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the
Holier-than-thou-could-be messenger of God
