Ken Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 That Awful Day Rodney Carrington Well I got home and the door was locked, so I tried to ring the bell. I found a little bitty note, that she had wrote tellin' me to go to hell. I crawled in the window, got inside, she kicked me in the ba**s and then I cried, called me a name, said I lied, kicked me again and I thought I died. Took 'm clothes, set 'em on fire, then hit me with, her curlin' iron. I tried to block it, with my watch, and then she kicked me in the crotch again..... Today's the day my wife met my girlfriend... Well I tried to tell her but she didn't care, that things weren't what they seemed. She had a pan on the stove full of boilin' water, and my 'nads would soon be steamed. I tried to run, screamed for help. She hit me in the nertz with a rhinestone belt. It was like nothin' that I ever felt. I thank God I wasn't wearin' a kilt. She grabbed a bat from beneath the bed, swung it once, missed m' head. She reared back, swung it again, and then she hit me in the twins again.... Today's the day my wife met my girlfriend... Yeah, today's that awful day, and my boys won't be the same, yeah today's the day my wife met my girlfriend........... Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesboy Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Love Hurts This song has been done by plenty of great artists but I like the Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris version. Love hurts love scars love wounds and mars Any heart not tough nor strong enough To take a lot of pain take a lot of pain Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain. Love Hurts uh - uh Love Hurts. I'm young I know but even so I know a thing or two I've learned from you I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot Love is like a stove burns you when it's hot Love Hurts Uh - Uh Love hurts. Some fools rave of happiness Blissfullness togetherness Some fools fool themselves I guess, But they're not fooling me I know it isn't true, no it isn't true Love is just a lie, made to make you blue Love hurts Uh - uh love hurts.

Lucky Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 This is my swan song. I'm Movin' On ~ Rascal Flatts I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons Finally content with a past I regret I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness For once I'm at peace with myself I have been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long I'm movin' on I've lived in this place and I know all the faces Each one is different but they're always the same They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it They'll never allow me to change But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong I'm movin' on I'm movin' on At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone There comes a time in everyone's life When all you can see are the years passing by And I have made up my mind that those days are gone I sold what I could and packed what I couldn't Stopped to fill up on my way out of town I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't I had to lose everything to find out Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road I'm movin' on I'm movin' on I'm movin' on *not such a sad song...I just felt this was the proper placement* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Sometimes it bugs me, that most of you can't speak German But I just heard one of the most beautiful "Tear Jerker" Songs on radio, maybe you'll like it... Background: Herbert Grönemeyer is one of most respected and succesful musicians (and sometimes actor) in Germany. In 1998 his wife and his brother died within just a few days. This song is Grönemeyer's declaration of how he intends to go on despite the pain he feels over the loss of his wife. Even if life isn't fair ("Das Leben ist nicht fair"), Grönemeyer says that's no excuse to give up and points out his wife's qualities and her own refusal to give in.

Even if life isn't fair ("Das Leben ist nicht fair"), Grönemeyer says that's no excuse to give up and points out his wife's qualities and her own refusal to give in. now THAT'S a truly tearjerker reason for a song.

We haven't all avoided speaking German / discussing German music. This thread features animated debate about Krautrock, cunningly incorporating Nina Hagen und ein wenig Deutsch-sprechen. So please don't get the impression that German music isn't even worthy of comment... http://forum.songfacts.com/showtopic.php?tid/139015/all/1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I wouldn't seriously accuse you of not speaking German. Especially since I'm the only native German speaker here, that would be kinda dumb, imo. Additionatly, just so there are no wrong impressions, when I said, that it bugs me that there are not so many German speakers here, I meant that it's sometimes a little bit frustrating, because I know so many wonderful songs and talented artists, that I can't share with you, because they don't speak English. I hope I clarified that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyguitar Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 P.S. I was raised on this song...heeeavy duty sad. 'Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Wo sind sie geblieben?

blind-fitter Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 You don't find "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" sad? Edna, I never had you down as some kind of heartless automaton! It's all about millions of men (and boys) being killed in pointless wars. How much sadder can things get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
