What song best desribes your life at the moment?

As time goes by ... (i'm in an old loves frame of mind this morning)


You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you."
On this you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
On this you can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Another good one Beth...I'm in the same frame of mind, lol

there must be something in the air

funnily enough, i've also been singing 'a fine romance' lately. it doesn't really express what i'm thinking, but i like the sing-speak effect.

A fine romance with no kisses
A fine romance, my friend, this is
We should be like a couple of hot tomatoes (to-mah-toes, dear)
But you're as cold as yesterday's mashed po-tah-toes (potatoes)

A fine romance, you won't nestle
A fine romance, you won't even wrestle
You've never mussed the crease in my blue serge pants
You never take a chance, this is a fine romance

A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, I'll take Jello
You're calmer than the seals in the Arctic Ocean
At least they flap their fins to express emotion

A fine romance, my dear Duchess
Two old fogies, we really need crutches
You're just as hard to land as the Ile de France! (Fronce)
I haven't got a chonce (chance), this is a fine romance

A fine romance, my good woman
My strong, aged-in-the-wood woman
You never give those orchids I send a glance
They're just like cactus plants, (oh boy)
This is a fine romance!

At the moment the song that best describes my life is "Unwell" by Matchbox 20. I won't bore you with quoting it cuz I'm sure everyone has heard it 2000 times...

Born of Frustration
James
(they don't publish their lyrics, so I'm reconstructing as best I can)

All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self-control has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
Who are you fooling
Don't need a shrink but an exorcist

Show me the movie of who you are and where you're from
Born of frustration
Caught upon the webs you've spun
Where's the confusion
A vision of what life is like
Show me the movie that doesn't deal in black and white
Stop stop talking 'bout who's to blame
When all that counts is how to change
Stop stop talking 'bout who's to blame
When all that counts in how to change

All this frustration
All this frustration
Who put round owl eyes on the butterfly's wings
All this frustration
All this frustration
Who gave the leopard spots and taught the birds to sing

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

I'm living in the weirdest dream where nothing is the way it seems
Where no one's who they need to be
Where nothing seems that real to me
What can we build our lives upon
No walls of stone, no solid ground
The world is spinning endlessly
We're clinging to our own beliefs

Born of frustration
Born of frustration

eegah, that would one of mine too, recently speaking...

marycat...oh goody, another James fan, lol...

I'll be back later on with my song of the day, it's early yet, lol...

Emotional Weather Report
Tom Waits

late night and early morning low clouds
with a chance of fog
chance of showers into the afternoon
with variable high cloudiness
and gusty winds, gusty winds
at times around the corner of
Sunset and Alvorado
things are tough all over
when the thunder storms start
increasing over the southeast
and south central portions
of my apartment, I get upset
and a line of thunderstorms was
developing in the early morning
ahead of a slow moving coldfront
cold blooded
with tornado watches issued shortly
before noon Sunday, for the areas
including, the western region
of my mental health
and the northern portions of my
ability to deal rationally with my
disconcerted precarious emotional
situation, it's cold out there
colder than a ticket taker's smile
at the Ivar Theatre, on a Saturday night
flash flood watches covered the
southern portion of my disposition
there was no severe weather well
into the afternoon, except for a lone gust of
wind in the bedroom
in a high pressure zone, covering the eastern
portion of a small suburban community
with a 103 and millibar high pressure zone
and a weak pressure ridge extending from
my eyes down to my cheeks cause since
you left me baby
and put the vice grips on my mental health
well the extended outlook for an
indefinite period of time until you
come back to me baby is high tonight
low tomorrow, and precipitation is
expected

Dire Straits, Industrial Disease

Warning lights are flashing down at Quality Control
Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole
There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
There's a meeting in the boardroom they're trying to trace the smell
There's leaking in the washroom there's a sneak in personnel
Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
'goodness me could this be Industrial Disease?

The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most
The watchdog's got rabies the foreman's got fleas
And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease
There's panic on the switchboard tongues are ties in knots
Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
Some blame the management some the employees
And everybody knows it's the Industrial Disease

The work force is disgusted downs tools and walks
Innocence is injured experience just talks
Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees
That these are 'classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze'
On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse
Philosophy is useless theology is worse
History boils over there's an economics freeze
Sociologists invent words that mean 'Industrial Disease'

Doctor Parkinson declared 'I'm not surprised to see you here
You've got smokers cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer
I don't know how you came to get the Betty Davis knees
But worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease'
He wrote me a prescription he said 'you are depressed
But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest
Come back and see me later - next patient please
Send in another victim of Industrial Disease'

I go down to Speaker's Corner I'm thunderstruck
They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says
'they wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
They wanna have a war to keep their factories
They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese
They wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease
They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
They wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind
They give you Rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three
Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease'
Meanwhile the first Jesus says 'I'd cure it soon
Abolish monday mornings and friday afternoons'
The other one's on a hunger strike he's dying by degrees
How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease

Here goes...

Del Amitri
Here and Now

Hey i'm with you, let me just get you a light
And if we'd thought to listen
We might have checked if the weather was right
And i don't mind if you want to drive all day

Hey, it's raining, i should have brought my coat
And sometimes i could sell my soul
Just to sit and watch you smoke
And i don't mind if you want to break my heart

'cos you can burn paper
You can turn a wheel
But you can't change later
Here and now just how good we can feel

Hey, stop talking, think i can hear the sea


And did i tell you the sound of the surf
Makes strange things happen to me
And i don't mind if you want to crash the car

'cos you turn traitor
You can turn on your heels
But you can't change lady
Here and now just how good we can feel

And hey don't worry, so that black cat's some kind of curse
'cos if bad times are coming up ahead,
Just put us in reverse

I don't want to waste time, thinking 'bout it here and now babe
Nothing else matters but what we've got here and now babe.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE IS (George Benson)

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved a love you've had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that can not live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

George Benson may have been one of the artists who recorded this song, but I best remember it by The Accidentals because in the background and juxtaposed softly were the strains of Beethoven's "Moonlight" Sonata.

White Rabbit.
And I wanna stay there too.

Audio Adrenaline - Ocean Floor
-------------------------------------
The mistakes I've made
That caused pain
I could've done without
All my selfish thoughts
All my pride
The things I hide
That you have forgot about

They're all behind you
They'll never find you
There on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
There on the bottom
Of the ocean floor

My misdeeds
Oh, my grief
All the things that hold me down
They're not a pretty site to see
But they're wiped away
By a mighty, mighty wave
A mighty, mighty wave, Yeah

They're all behind you
They'll never find you
There on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
There on the bottom of the ocean floor
Your sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor

Take them away
To return no more

Take them away
To the ocean floor
To the ocean floor
To the ocean floor

They're all behind you
They'll never find you
There on the ocean floor
Your sins are forgotten
There on the bottom of the ocean floor
You're sins are erased
And they are no more
They're out on the ocean floor

Armin Van Buuren

Yet another day (riva).

Something disappeared inside
Should I try to run away
If I could I would escape you
I won't argue anymore
I have lost the will to be
Hope you don't think I'm ungrateful
Why, why are you laughing ?
Is it something that I said ?

I don't like this place at all
Makes me wonder what I'm here for
Someone takes this pain away
Dying to see another day
And I don't want to be your friend
Or pretend I can fit in too
I'm incensed, I'm blown away
Dying to see another day

Close the curtains lock the door
Left my notes upon the stair
In hopes you wouldn't read them
Fake emotions in my head
Everything I've seen and read
Can't begin to find a reason
Why, why are you laughing ?
Is it something that I said ?...

Way things are going for me right now, this fits like a glove.


Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...

Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]

Life's a piece of ****,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...

Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]

Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]
Always look on the bright side of life!
[whistle]

Repeat to fade...

Wakemisfit, thanks for making your first post in this thread, lol...welcome to A2K, as they say...

kev, I love the sentiments of that song...good one!

Recently, my song of the moment is Mr Right Now, by Garth Brooks...

L

Kiss from a Rose, by Seal.

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
You, became the light on the dark side of me
Love remains, a drug that's the high and not the pill
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grey

There is so much a man can tell you
So much he can say
You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain
Baby, To me, you're like a growing
Addiction that I can't deny
Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby?
But did you know that when it snows
My eyes become large
And the light that you shine can't be seen?

I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey
And if I should fall, will it all go away?

Another good one, Heevan
