The Neverending Connect the Lyrics Game

A Passion Play


``do you still see me even here?''
(the silver cord lies on the ground.)
``and so i'm dead'', the young man said --- over the hill
(not a wish away).
My friends (as one) all stand aligned although their taxis came
Too late.
There was / a rush along the fulham road.
There was / a hush in the passion play.
Such a sense of glowing in the aftermath / ripe with rich attainments
All imagined / sad misdeeds in disarray / the sore thumb screams aloud,
Echoing out of the passion play.
All the old familiar choruses come crowding in a different key:
Melodies decaying in sweet dissonance.
There was a rush / along the fulham road / into the ever-passion play.
And who comes here to wish me well?
A sweetly-scented angel fell.
She laid her head upon my disbelief and bathed me with her ever-smile.
And with a howl across the sand i go escorted by a band of gentlemen
In leather bound -- no-one (but someone to be found).
All along the icy wastes there are faces smiling in the gloom.
Roll up roll down,
Feeling unwound? -- step into the viewing room.
The cameras were all around.
We've got you taped -- you're in the play.
Here's your i.d.
(ideal for identifying one and all.)
Invest your life in the memory bank -- ours the interest and we
Thank you.
The ice-cream lady wet her drawers, to see you in the passion play.
Take the prize for instant pleasure
Captain of the cricket team
Public speaking in all weathers
A knighthood from a queen.
All your best friends' telephones never cooled from the heat of your hand.

There's / a line in a front-page story / 13 horses that also-ran.
Climb in your old umbrella.
Does it have a nasty tear in the dome?
But / the rain only gets in sometimes and / the sun never leaves you alone.
Lover of the black and white -- it's your first night.
The passion play / goes all the way / spoils your insight.
Tell me / how the baby's made / how the lady's laid / why the old
Dog howls in sadness.
And your little sister's immaculate virginity wings away on the bony
Shoulders of a young horse named george who stole surreptitiously
Into her geography revision.
(the examining body examined her body.)
Actor of the low-high q, let's hear your view.
Peek at the lines upon your sleeves since your memory won't do.
Tell me / how the baby's graded / how the lady's faded / why the old dogs
Howl with madness.
All of this and some of that's the only way to skin the cat.
And now you've lost a skin or two -- you're for us and we for you.
The dressing room is right behind
We've got you taped -- you're in the play.
How does it feel to be in the play?
How does it feel to play the play?
How does it feel to be the play?
Man of passion rise again, we won't cross you out -- for we do love
You like a son -- of that there's no doubt.
Tell us / is it you who are here for our good cheer?
Or / are we here / for the glory / for the story / for the gory satisfaction
Of telling you how absolutely awful you really are?
There was / a rush along the fulham road.
There was / a hush in the passion play.

Jethro Tull

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feeling good just holding you tight

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

So listen very carefully
Closer now and you will see what I mean
It isn't a dream
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear
I love you forever and ever

There's a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people just like us are fallin' in love
Yeah, they're fallin' in love
Hush, they're fallin' in love
Hush

I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Listen
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

--Deep Purple

Hush a bye
Don't you cry,
Go to sleep ye little baby

Don't
Don't
That's what you say
Each time that I hold you this way
When I feel like this and I want to hold you
Baby don't say don't

Don't
Don't leave my embrace
For here in my arms is your place
When the night grows cold and I want to hold you
Baby don't say don't

If you think that this is just a game
I'm playing
If you don't think I mean
Every word I'm saying
Don't don't don't don't
Don't feel that way
I'm your love and yours I will stay

This you can believe

Heaven knows I won't
Please don't

Oh won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear you say
Say you will

(Daddy don't mind)
And your mamma don't mind

If we have another dance
Yeah Just one more, one more time

Oh won't you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear you say you will
Say you will

Won't youi place your sweet lips
To mine
Won't you say you love me
All of the time

Lonely teardrops
My pillow'll never dry up
Lonely teardrops
Come home come home
Come home
Just give me a promise
That one day
You'll return
Because every day
That you've been gone away
You know my heart burns
Crying
Lonely teardrops
Come home come home
Come home
Say you will baby

Well, mama, don't you see me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right, hey hey, hey hey

See the gal with the diamond ring?
She knows how to shake that thing
All right, hey hey, hey hey

See the gal with the red dress on?
She knows how to do it all night long
All right, hey hey, hey hey

Tell your mama, tell your pa
Gonna send you back to Arkansas
All right, hey hey, you got me right now

When you see me in misery
Move over, baby, set me free
All right, hey hey, hey hey

(repeat and fade):
Tell me, what'd I say?

Put on your red dress baby
Cause we goin out tonight
Put on your red dress baby
Cause we goin out tonight
And I'm gonna sharpen up my razor
Cause some cat might want ta try

Put on your high heel sneakers
Comb that wigat on your head
Put on your high heel sneakers
Honey why don't you comb that wigat on your head
Cause we're goin out baby
I'm pretty sure you gonna knock 'em dead

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Those days are over
You don't have to sell your body to the night

Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right

Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

I loved you since I knew you
I wouldn't talk down to you
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again

It's a bad way
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

I should have known
You'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this
And I learned it very well
Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again
It's all the same to me
And I think,
It's gonna be alright
Yeah,
The worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shining
Like a red rubber ball

Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town?
It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down.
Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago,
But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows.

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.
The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.
Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;
But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,
I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.
One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,
It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you.
I try to make love but it ain't no use.

Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;
Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.
Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;
Go away, Heartbreaker.

You've got to change your evil ways... baby
Before I stop loving you.
You've go to change... baby
And every word that I say, it's true.
You've got me running and hiding
All over town.
You've got me sneaking and peeping
And running you down
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change... baby.

When I come home... baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
You're hanging ëround... baby
With jean and joan and a who knows who
I'm getting tired of waiting and fooling around
I'll find somebody, who won't make me feel like a clown
This can't go on...
Lord knows you got to change

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)

Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times

(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life
In Dreams of yesterday

Harry Nilsson - You're Breakin' My Heart

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so **** you

All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue
You won't boogaloo,
Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh
You're breakin' my heart,
You're tearing it apart but **** you

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo

You stepped on my ass
You're breakin' my glasses too
You won't drive my car, might be a star
I've had enough of you
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame so **** you

You can't have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooohhh
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so **** you

You gotta have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooowww
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart but I love you

Gimme an F--!....

Been a hard day nothing went too good

T.B. Sheets

Words and music by Van Morrison

Now listen Julie baby,
It ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight,
It ain't natural for you to cry
Way in the midnight through,
Until the wee small hours
Long 'fore the break of dawn, oh Lord.

Now Julie there ain't nothin' on my mind
More further away than what you're lookin' for,
I see the way they jump at me
Lord, from behind the door, and look into my eyes,
Your little star stuck innuendows,
Inadequacies, foreign bodies.

And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain, oh, Lord.

So open up the window and let me breathe,
I said, open up the window and let me breathe
I'm looking down to the street below
Lord, I cried for you, Oh, Lord.

The cool room, Lord, is a fool's room,
The cool room, Lord, is a fool's room,
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets, on your sick bed.

I gotta go, l gotta,
And you said, please stay.
I want, I want a drink of water,
I want a drink of water,
I went to the kitchen to get me a drink of water,

I gotta go baby.
I send, I send, I send somebody around her later,
You know we got John comin' around
Later with a bottle of wine for you, babe.

The cool room Lord, is a fool's room
The cool room Lord, is a fool's room
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
I gotta go.

Send 'round, send one that grumbles later on,
Will see what I can pick up for ya,
I got a few things gotta do,
Don't worry about it,
Don't worry about it, don't worry, up up go go go
I gotta go,
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go,
And all right, all right,

I turned on the radio, if you wanna hear a few tunes,
I'll turn the radio on for you
There you go, there go, there you go, baby, there you go.

Hello (echo),
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Come on (echo),
nowI hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain,
get you on your feet again

Relax (echo),
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

(Chorus) --There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child,
I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now, I've got that feeling once again,
I can not explain, you would not understand
This is not how I amI...........
have become comfortably numb
I.......... have become comfortably numb
Okay (echo),
just a little pin prick
There be no more AHHHHhhhhh...
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up (echo)
I do believe it's working,
GOOD
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go

(Chorus)
.....what you're saying--
When I was child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I can not put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I...............have become comfortably numb
