weetwood white Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 My Favourite Dress Sometimes these words just don't have to be said I know how you both feel the heart can rule the head Jealousy is an essential part of love The hurting here below & the emptiness above There's something always left behind The tender caresses that bring out the man I can't still be drunk at five Oh, I guess I surely can Slowly your beauty is eaten away By the scent of someone else in the blanket where we lay There's always something left behind Maybe next time Uneaten meals A lonely star A welcome ride in a neighbour's car A long walk home The pouring rain I fell asleep when you never came Some rare delight in Manchester town It took six hours before you let me down To see it all in a drunken kiss A stranger's hand on my favourite dress That was my favourite dress you know That was my favourite dress written by Dave Gedge and played by The Wedding Present.

Ged Parker Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 (edited) Not Soul and Not just a line but this lyric is fantastic. When you are old and tired and gray Wear your overcoat on a sunny day When your brave tales have all been told I'll ask for them when you are old When you are old and full of sleep And death no longer makes you weep When your body aches due to the cold I'll warm your heart when you are old You still will be the same to me A comfort and a mystery And I will be old too you see I'll need someone to comfort me When you are old and pale and gaunt A gentle hand is all you want I will give you mine to hold Because I'll be here when you are old If Gretchen Peters vocal on this doesn't make you cry you've got a cold cold heart my friend https://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...videoid=3125026 OK Webby - Gretchen Peters - When you Are Old....

SPINNERS 'Ill Always Love You', the very last momentous poetic lines of a true all time classic anthem. Can't be beat for emotion and power in my view!
Guest marge Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 What started out to be such a good thing Has taken my pride and replaced it with shame I can't face my friends 'cause I know what they're thinking Now I understand how some men start drinking I'm like a drowning man in a sea of misery Never thought this could happen to me I'm smoking more but enjoying it less I get a whole lotta sleep but I don't get enough rest Jimmy Conwell - Too Much brilliant, one of my favourite tracks lyrically
Guest sandi Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 There's nothing colder than goodbye(Bobby Paris-l Walked Away) It takes my breath away to see people live from day to day, Without love for eachother,without love for the brothers, Without a second of kindness or a minute to be reminded, That we all have a common cause and together we can conquer all. The lover's without anyone to love,because hate has taken over, Even though we'er lost without love. And theres a mother who would leave her child without love, Now is that the way God planned it or the lack of love. Look at the world, there's not a sign of peace nowhere, And does anybody care? Yes the love want's to. All the hate, All the discrimination, In the holy holy land look there's a man with a gun in his hand, Something l can't understand, Love should be in demand, Make a liar out of me, Save humanity, Until then l believe, l believe... "The Whole Damn World Is Going Crazy" John Gary Williams.

("There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" - The Smiths/lyrics by Morrissey) "I have so much confidence when I'm by myself It's like my nerves wore an armoured coat But you're such a charmer, you melt that coat of armour And the words from my heart get caught up in my throat - maybe I'd better write a note..." ("When The Words From Your Heart Get Caught Up In Your Throat" - The Miracles/lyrics by Willaim Robinson) ...honestly can't choose between the two.. Tony, I, myself, would go with Americas' greatest poet........I find Morrissey a little Morbid....those lyrics explain why.

Theresa Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 "Why ponder life's complexity, when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat" That's a corker Trevski. You can almost smell that line as well as hear it. Oh Manchester, so much to answer for... "I've been dreaming of a time when To be English is not to be baneful To be standing by the flag not feeling shameful, racist or partial Irish blood, English heart, this I'm made of There is no one on earth I'm afraid of And I will die with both of my hands untied" "And he stole from the rich and the poor, and the not-very-rich and the very poor, and he stole all hearts away"

Why does life have to be this way for me. Why wasnt I born good looking, why wasn't I born a winner, I would rather not be born at all than to be born a loser.... born a loser.. oh yeah.....DON RAY-BORN A LOSER WHAT A TUNE! When you are down in the dumps this song lifts you right out of it because the empathy with the lyrics ironically helps you transcend the self pity. I fooking love this record. An all time favourite!

Steve Edgar Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Sam Dees, "Signed Miss Heroin".... the whole lyric reads so powerfully, and even more so against the music backdrop, here's the complete lyrics........ Well, now little man, you've grown tired of grass, L.S.D., Acid, cocaine, and hash. Somebody that's supposed to be your so called friend, said, "I'll introduce you to Miss Heroin." Well, honey, before you start fooling with me, Just let me inform you of how it will be. For I will seduce ya and make you my slave. I've sent men much stronger than you to their grave. You think you could not become a disgrace, and end up addicted to poppy seed waste. So, you'll start inhaling me one afternoon. You'll take me into your arm and very soon. And once I have entered deep down in your vein, The craving will nearly drive you insane. You'll need lots of money (as you have been told). For, darling, I'm much more expensive than gold. Signed Miss Heroin You'll swindle your Mama; and, just for a buck, you'll turn into something vile and corrupt. You'll mug, you'll steal for my narcotic charm. and feel contentment when I'm in you arms. The day you realize the monster you've grown, you'll solemnly promise to leave me alone. If you think that you've got the mystical knack. Then sweetie, just try getting me off your back. Signed Miss Heroin The vomit, the cramps, your gut tied in a knot. The jangling nerves screaming for just one more shot. The hot chills,cold sweat, the withdrawal pains, can only be saved by my little white grains. There's no other way, and there's no need to look. For deep down inside you, you will know that you're hooked. You'll desperately run to the pusher, and then You'll welcome me back to your arms once again. And when you return, just as I foretold! I know that you'll give me your body and soul. You'll give up your morals, your conscience, your heart, and you will be mine until Death Do Us Part. Signed Miss Heroin Say! you're holding the losing hand, and you just can't win. Smoking dope aint nothing but a sin. The faith in you, that they had in you brother! What will you do now? Steve
