Foxy Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 As you know, I'm going through a rough patch at the moment, coming to terms with not seeing the one person I would love to see... Most people have been here, and alot of you will have a song which the lyrics touch that one part of you, and comfort you while the songs playing. Post them here, and I'm going to give them all a listen... Heres one of mine, whihc I've only heard in the last couple of days: "Heal Over" KT Tunstall It isn?t very difficult to see why You are the way you are Doesn?t take a genius to realise That sometimes life is hard It?s gonna take time But you?ll just have to wait You?re gonna be fine But in the meantime Come over here lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer baby Coz you?ll heal over Heal over Heal over someday And I don?t wanna hear you tell yourself That these feelings are in the past You know it doesn?t mean they?re off the shelf Because pain?s built to last Everybody sails alone But we can travel side by side Even if you fail You know that noone really minds Come over here lady Don?t hold on but don?t let go I know it?s so hard You?ve got to try to trust yourself I know it?s so hard, so hard Come over here lady Let me wipe your tears away Come a little nearer baby Coz you?ll heal over, heal over, heal over someday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 This one has been my mantra more than once... I Will Survive (Gloria Gaynor) First I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong I grew strong I learned how to carry on and so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive It took all the strength I had not to fall apart kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry Now I hold my head up high and you see me somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miner at the dial-a-view-grandaddy (when I'm lonely) found your house and I saw your car But I've no idea where you are from the Dial-a-view Tire scraps on the federal roads Look like crash landed crows from the Dial-a-view Hello welcome to dial-a-view to locate the area in which you wish to observe You must program in the longitude and the latitude For a closer more detailed picture use either the zoom or the micro-zoom controls Good luck I dream at night of going home someday Somewhere so far away So dream, alright I know it's gonna take some time I'm going home someday Fifteen years is almost done And I don't recognize anyone From the Dial-a-view. My home, my friends and you I watched them fade But what can I do From the Dial-a-view Hello welcome to dial-a-view to locate the area in which you wish to observe You must program in the longitude and the latitude For a closer more detailed picture use either the zoom or the micro-zoom controls Good luck I dream at night of going home someday Somewhere so far away So dream, alright I know it's gonna take some time I'm going home someday. I dream at night of going home someday Somewhere so far away So dream, alright I know it's gonna take some time I'm going home someday. I dream at night of going home someday Somewhere so far away So dream, alright I know it's gonna take some time I'm going home someday. I dream fake plastic trees-radiohead (when my friends left for uni in the states Her Green plastic watering can For her fake chinese rubber plant In fake plastic earth. That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans. Just to get rid of itself. And It Wears Her Out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out. She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns. He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins. And It Wears Him Out, it wears him out It wears him out, it wears him out. She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My Fake Plastic Love. But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run And It Wears Me Out, it wears me out It wears me out, it wears me out. And if I could BE who you wanted If I could BE who you wanted, All the time, all the time, ohhh... ohh... lovesong (when i miss my boyfriend) Whenever I?m alone with you you make me feel Like I am home again whenever I?m alone with You you make me feel like I am whole again Whenever I?m alone with you you make me feel Like I am young again whenever I?m alone with You you make me feel like I am fun again However far away I will always love you however Long I stay I will always love you whatever Words I say I will always love you I will always Love you Whenever I?m alone with you you make me feel Like I am free again whenever I?m alone with You you make me feel like I am clean again However far away I will always love you however Long I stay I will always love you whatever Words I say I will always love you I will always Love you nothing came out-the modly peaches (again, when Im lonely and when i feel ugly) Just because I don't say anything, Doesn't mean I don't like you. I open my mouth and I tried and I tried. But no words came out. Without 40 oz. of social skills, I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity. I'm just a huge manitee. A huge manitee. And besides you're probably holding hands With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to Talk about bands. And all I wanna do is ride bikes with you And stay up late and watch cartoons. Ducktails, Shirtails, Tail Spin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo.. I wanna watch cartons with you. Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby-doo, I want you to watch cartoons with me. He-Man, Voltron, and Hong Kong Phooey I tried to ask you to your face But no words came out. Put on my hood and walked away, That doesn't mean I don't like you. And besides you're probably holding hands With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to Talk about bands. And all I wanna do is ride bikes with you And stay up late And maybe spoon. Just because I don't say anything Doesn't mean I don't like you. ..no.. I opened my mouth and I tried and i tried. And besides you're probably holding hands With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to Talk about bands. And all I wanna do is ride bikes with you And stay up late and watch cartoons. glory box-portishead (when Im lonely) I'm so tired, of playing Playing with this bow and arrow Gonna give my heart away Leave it to the other girls to play For I've been a temptress too long Just. . Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be ee, a woman I just wanna be a woman From this time, unchained We're all looking at a different picture Thru this new frame of mind A thousand flowers could bloom Move over, and give us some room Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be ee, a woman I just wanna be a woman [iNSTRUMENTAL] So don't you stop, being a man Just take a little look from our side when you can Sow a little tenderness No matter if you cry Give me a reason to love you Give me a reason to be ee, a woman Its all I wanna be is all woman For this is the beginning of forever and ever Its time to move over... ...

edna Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I´ve been looking for the lyrics of "Say goodbye to little Jo", Steve Forbert, but I couldn´t find them... Foxy, you´ll love this song... I´ll try to find it tomorrow or I´ll write down the lyrics as I guess I must know it by heart... anyway, if somebody´s got these lyrics, please, post them! And as Rachel says, most of the times we listen to sad songs to see we´re not the ones going through that, so my "Divorces Tape" has "Drive" (Cars), "Breaking up is hard to do" (Neil Sedaka) and things like that... Wow, I wish I could find that song, I´d send it to you by e-mail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted March 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 edna I'll look for it now. 'Drive' by the Cars is a beautiful song. It reminds me totally of a bloke at work I had a very special night with after months of flirting and trying not to see each other as work relationships complicate things, we gave in, and he stayed with me overnight on my birthday as a surprise. Next morning I woke and he was gone, the next week at work he said it could never be. I was devastated for about 6 months seeing him at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MementoxMori Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 "Name" by Goo Goo Dolls- And even though the moment passed me by I still can't turn away Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose Got tossed along the way And letters that you never meant to send Get lost or thrown away And now we're grown up orphans That never knew their names We don't belong to no-one That's a shame But you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name Yeah, I won't tell em your name Scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there Did you get to be a star Don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are You grew up way too fast Now there's nothing to believe Reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won't tell no one your name Yeah, I won't tell em your name I think about you all the time But I don't need the same It's lonely where you are come back down And I won't tell em your name "Big Machine" by Goo Goo Dolls (oy, i love them!) Ecstacy is all you need Living in the big machine now Oh, you're so vain Now your world is way too fast Nothin's real and nothing lasts And I'm aware I'm in love but you don't care Turn your anger into lust I'm still here, but you don't trust at all And I'll be waiting Love and sex and loneliness Take what's yours and leave the rest So I'll survive God, it's good to be alive [Chorus] I'm torn in pieces I'm blind and waiting for My heart is reeling I'm blind and waiting for you Still in love with all your sins Where you stop and I begin And I'll - I'll be waitin' Livin' like a house on fire What you fear is your desire It's hard to deal I still love the way you feel Now this angry little girl Drownin in this petty world And I'm who you run to Swallow all your bitter pills That's what makes you beautiful You're all or not I don't need what you ain't got [Chorus] I'm blind and waiting for you I'm blind and waiting for you No, I can't believe it's coming true God, it's good to be alive I'm still here and waitin' for you No I can't believe it's coming true I'm blind and waiting for you "Spin" by Lifehouse I'd rather chase your shadow all my life Than be afraid of my own I'd rather be with you I'd rather not know Where I'll be than Be alone and convinced that I know And the world keeps spinning round My world's upside down And I-I wouldn't change a thing I've got nothing else to lose I lost it all when I found you And I-I wouldn't change a thing No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing Everything I know has let me down So I will just let go Let you turn me inside out Cause I know I'm not sure About anything But you wouldn't have it any other way And the world keeps spinning round My world's upside down And I-I wouldn't change a thing I've got nothing else to lose I lost it all when I found you And I-I wouldn't change a thing No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing Spinning, turning, watching, burning All my life has found its meaning Walking, crawling, climbing, falling All my life has found its meaning You and I-I wouldn't change a thing No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing And the world keeps spinning round My world's upside down And I-I wouldn't change a thing I've got nothing else to lose I lost it all when I found you And I-I wouldn't change a thing No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing No, you and I-I wouldn't change a thing "Quasimodo" by Lifehouse you can be right and I'll be real honesty won't be a pain that you'll have to feel cause I don't need your approval to find my worth I'm trapped inside of my own mind afraid to open my eyes cause of what I'd find and I don't want to live like this anymore there goes my pain there goes my chains did you see them falling because this feeling that has no meaning there goes the world off of my shoulders there goes the world off of my back there it goes does it scare you that I can be something different than you would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't you can't control me and you can't take away from me who I am there goes my pain there goes my chains did you see them falling because this feeling that has no meaning there goes the world off of my shoulders there goes the world off of my back you can't change me you can't break me there goes the world off of my shoulders there goes the world off of my back have you ever felt like your only comfort was your cage you're not alone I've felt the same as you have you ever felt like your secrets give you away you're not alone I've been there too cause everyone is looking and everyone is laughing but I think everyone feels the same everybody wants to feel ok everybody wants to everybody wants to feel there goes my pain there goes my chains did you see them falling because this feeling that has no meaning there goes the world off of my shoulders there goes the world off of my back cause I don't want it I don't want it you can't change me you can't break me there goes the world off of my shoulders there goes the world off of my back there it goes "Bed of Lies" by Matchbox 20 No I would not sleep in this bed of lies So toss me out and turn in And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes I'm marking it down to learning I am Don't think that I can take another empty moment Don't think that I can fake another hollow smile It's not enough just to be sorry Don't think that I could take another talk about it Just like me you got needs And they're only a whisper away And we softly surrender To these lives that we've tendered away No I would not sleep in this bed of lies So toss me out and turn in And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes I'm marking it down to learning I am Don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over Don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong Where it's not enough just be sorry Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in Tried to be more than me And I gave till it all went away And we've only surrendered To the worst part of these winters we've made No I would not sleep in this bed of lies So toss me out and turn in And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes I'm marking it down to learning I am I am all that I'll ever be When you -
