Lyrics I Like

It's been a long, long time
You're such a sight
You're looking better than a body has a right to
Don't you know we're playing with the fire
But we can't stop this burning desire

                    -Donnie Iris- Ah! Leah! 

I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face

And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you
Walkin' on the back roads, by the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

                    -Glen Campbell- Gentle on my Mind

Not from the years, 

not from the use
Not from the tears, 

just self abuse

But now I'm safe in the eye of the tornado  

                    -Megadeth- Tornado of Souls

 

I took a walk down a road
It's the road I was meant to stay
I see the fire in your eyes
But a man's got to make his way

                    -Cinderella- Coming Home

 

I hate everything about you

Why do I love you?

                    -Three Days Grace- I Hate Everything About You

 

I've got a smile for everyone I meet

As long as you don't try draggin' my bay

Or droppin' a bomb on my street 

                    -The Pretenders- Middle of the Road

Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind

                    -Skid Row- Slave to the Grind

 

If things are the same, then explain why your kiss is so cold 

And that mist in your eyes feels like rain on the fire In my soul 

                    -Sandford & Townsend- Smoke from a Distant Fire-

 

Too rich or too poor.

She's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more.

The bitter taste is cumbersome

                    -Seven Mary Three- Cumbersome

 

I been lookin' for a trace
Lookin' for a heart
Lookin' for a lover in a world
that's much too dark

                    -Guns n Roses- You're Crazy

 

Deaf, dumb and dirty, 

starting to deserve this
Leaning on my conscience wall
Blood is like wine, 

unconscious all the time
If I had it all again I'd change it all

                    -Bush- Machinehead

 

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own

I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on

                    -Jackson Browne- Running on Empty

 

I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants point hardly renowned
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high.

                    -Bob Segar- Night Moves

 

Some of them want to use you

Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you

Some of them want to be abused

                    -Eurythmics- Sweet Dreams (are Made of This) 

Like a picture she was laying there
And moonlight dancing off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's alright with me
                    -Sammy Johns- Chevy Van

 

I don't know what to do

I am always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg

and giving off sparks

                    -Bonnie Tyler- Total Eclipse of the Heart

Though its cold and lonely

in the deep dark night

I can see paradise

by the dashboard light

                    -Meatloaf- Paradise by the Dashboard Light

I've really learned a lot

Love is like a flame

It burns you when it's hot

                    -Nazareth- Love Hurts

Ain't no doubt about it

We were doubly blessed

We were barely 17

and we were barely dressed

                    -Meatloaf- Paradise by the Dashboard Light

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,

don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean

for the May queen.

                    -Led Zeppelin- Stairway to Heaven

It never felt so good

it never felt so right

And we were glowin' like the metal

on the edge of a knife

                    -Meatloaf- Paradise by the Dashboard Light

What a wicked game to play,

to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do,

to let me dream of you

What a wicked thing to say,

you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do,

to make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
                    -Chris Isaak- Wicked Game

Now she was only sixteen, only sixteen
Oooh but I loved that girl so
But she was too young to fall in love
And I was too young to know
                    -Dr. Hook- Only Sixteen

You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you
                    -Don McLean- Vincent

I don't know where it's leadin' to
But I know I can make it if I lean on you
So come on, Carrie
Carry me a little
I carried you, now carry me a little
Come on, Carrie, carry me a little while
                    -Dr. Hook- Carry me, Carrie

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord Please don't let me be misunderstood
                    -The Animals- Don't let me be Misunderstood

Until you've been beside a man you don't know what he wants.
You don't know if he cries at night, you don't know if he don't.

When nothing comes easy, old nightmares are real.
Until you've been beside a man, you don't know how he feels.

Once inside a woman's heart, a man must keep his head.
Heaven opens up the door where angels fear to tread.

Some men go crazy, Some men go slow.
Some men go just where they want, Some men never go.
                    -Bob Seger- Shame on the Moon

There's no sex in your violence
                    -Bush- Everything Zen

I found a picture of you
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
                    -The Pretenders- Back on the Chain gang

She was the same as a hundred ladies
But when my eyes looked at her, I learned
That she was keeping a secret fire
And if I got real close, I'd burn
                    -Bob Welch- Ebony Eyes

All this fascination with leather and lace
is just the smoke from another fire
                    -Sheena Easton- Strut

Born from the dark in the black cloak of night
To envelop its prey below, deliver to the light
To eliminate your enemy, hit them in their sleep
And when all is won and lost, the spoils of wars are yours to keep

You know your worth when your enemies
Praise your architecture of aggression
                   -Megadeth- Architecture of Aggression

Out go the lights.  In goes my knife

Pull out his life.  Consider that bastard dead

                    -Motley Crue- Bastard

Coffee black

Cigarette

Start this day like all the rest

First thing every morning that I do

Is start missing you

Some broken hearts never mend

                    -Don Williams- Some Broken Hearts Never Mend
