Favourite Lyrics...

[Mikey09]

To my Yam pals looking in.....

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety of surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes, again
Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need... Of some strangers hand.... In a desperate land.


I remember sitting in my mates room one night, 14 years old, stoned, and wondering what is this guy on the record singing about?
I think I now know.
Thank you James Douglas Morrison............ :not worth

[One Day Soon]

Well The Doors is right but I think you chose the wrong song. I prefer something a lot more ironic:

5 to 1 (extract)

Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive, now
You get yours, baby
I'll get mine
Gonna make it, baby
If we try

The old get old
And the young get stronger
May take a week
And it may take longer
They got the guns
But we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah
We're takin' over
Come on!

Yeah!

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime

[Stax]

Like the yams a bit route one.. Status quo

Down down deeper & down, down down deeper & down :rockin::rockin::rockin:

[NAE NOOKIE]

Hows aboot a wee bit o' Motorhead.

Shut up you talk too loud
You dont fit in with the crowd
I cant believe you exist
I've crossed you right off my list
Too much too soon
You're way out of tune
No class, no class

Way out, you're way out of line
No buddy I cant spare a dime
Fade out, baby thats right
No bark and even less bite
Your perfect smile
Betrays your lack of style
No Class, no class
No class, no class

Too late you cant catch up now
You face the wrong way anyhow
I know you aint got the brain
To come in out of the rain

Too bad, no magic
I'm afraid your merely tragic
No class, baby no class
No Class .... Ahhhhhh no class.

Could have been written for the Yams :greengrin

[fatbloke]

Prefer a bit Hank Williams

Your cheatin' heart,
Will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry,
And try to sleep,
But sleep won't come,
The whole night through,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

Your cheatin' heart,
Will pine some day,
And crave the love,
You threw away,
The time will come,
When you'll be blue,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

When tears come down,
Like falling rain,
You'll toss around,
And call my name,
You'll walk the floor,
The way I do,
Your cheatin' heart, will tell on you...

I think this is the winner so far!!!! Day off today so gonna see if I can trump this...... :greengrin

[Mikey09]

Green Day- Nice guys finish last.....

Pressure cooker pick my brain
and tell me I'm insane.
I'm so ****ing happy I could cry.
Every joke can have its truth and now the jokes on you.
I never knew you were such a funny guy.

Oh nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Dont pat yourself on the back you might break you're spine.

Living on command
You're shaking lots of hands
You're kissing up and bleeding all you're trust.

Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You lose your memory and you got no shame!!!!




Great band, great song and some pertinent lyrics.... Especially the last line.

:rockin:

[patlowe]

The Beatles - You Never Give Me Your Money

The last two lines have particular resonance!

"You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
and in the middle of negotiations
you break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
and in the middle of investigation
I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true... today
Came true... today
Came true... today...yes it did
One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven"

I raise Ha Ha You're Dead by Green Day, it's a B-Side and can be found on the compilation called Shenanigans. Sums it all up perfectly I believe:
How do you get your sleep at night?
How did you get your noose so tight?
Like chewing on tinfoil, it's so much fun
Gonna be dead before your gone

Cause look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing

How many feelings can you steal?
Gotta be part of your appeal
I can see through you cause you're wearing thin
Like chewing on tinfoil once again

Cause look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing
Ha Ha you're dead
And I'm so happy
In loving memory
Of your demise
When your ship is going down
I'll go out and paint the town
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead

Ha Ha you're dead
And I'm so happy
In loving memory
Of your demise

When your ship is going down
I'll go out and paint the town
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead

Ha Ha you're dead
The joke is over
You were an asshole
And now you're gone
As your ship is going down
I'll stand by and watch you drown

Ha Ha you're dead
You're gonna be dead
Just remember what I said
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead
Ha Ha you're dead

I am an amateur!!!!!! Fantastic stuff....... :not worth

[Off the bar]

this one could've been written about a yam! last few lines perfectly sum up most of the yams I know and how I feel when forced into contact with them.

You got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down, you just stood there grinning
You got a lotta nerve to say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that's winning


You say I let you down, you know it's not like that
If you're so hurt why then don't you show it?
You say you lost your faith, but that's not where it's at
You have no faith to lose and you know it


I know the reason that you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd you're in with
Do you take me for such a fool to think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?


You see me on the street, you always act surprised
You say, "How are you? Good luck," but you don't mean it
When you know as well as me you'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it?


No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don't you understand, it's not my problem


I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment, I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time, you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
