Zevon- Lawyers, Guns, and Money. Song is classic for the accent he tosses into "took a little risk."
Well, I went home with the waitress The way I always do How was I to know She was with the Russians, too I was gambling in Havana I took a little risk Send lawyers, guns and money Dad, get me out of this I'm the innocent bystander Somehow I got stuck Between the rock and the hard place And I'm down on my luck And I'm down on my luck And I'm down on my luck Now I'm hiding in Honduras I'm a desperate man Send lawyers, guns and money The [censored] has hit the fan |

Re: Fave song lyrics
Ding Dong - by Nellie McKay
My cat died and I quickly poured myself some gin Did she die from old age or was it for my sins God I loved her oh so much Miss her little kitty touch Does she miss me does she care Oh I miss her kitty stare Do you have a little time Would you like to ease my mind Talk for hours and never stop Chop your head off Be a lighter person Brighter person nicer But you've heard it all before [chorus] So ding dong There's the doorbell hello man in white He's gonna make you all well Getcha through the night But hey now You don't feel better As you take your fresh bromide Maybe this man of letters lied Let me tell you 'bout a dream I had the other night You were in it boy you sure gave me a super fright I was walking down the street Downtown by the DMV You popped out behind a door It was odd you were on all fours Do you have some time to spare You were barking at a bear It said hey you'd better stop Chop your head off Be a lighter person Brighter person Nicer But you've heard it all before [chorus] So ding dong There's the doorbell Hello man in red He's gonna make you all well Getcha into bed But hey now You don't feel better As you wake and slowly rise Maybe this smooth jet-setter lied [instrumental break] Stick around one minute more I'm smarter than you think Do I sound like an old bore Oh man it's just the drink I didn't always hit the gin There were times when I fit in They'll never know how much I tried Did I tell you my cat died Do you have a little time Would you like to feel sublime Run away and never stop Chop your head off Be a lighter person Brighter person Nicer But you've heard it all before [chorus] So ding dong There's the doorbell Hello man in black He's gonna make you all well There's no going back But hey now you don't feel better As you drift off in the tide Maybe this jack the ripper lied And you died and here's a great performance of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXYgziSxxt8 |
Re: Fave song lyrics
Bumping this thread to share my new favorite song with you guys. I can't stop playing it. It makes me happy.
Ben Harper - In the Colors In The Colors When your whole world is shaken from all the risks we have taken Dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk When you have awoken from all the dreams broken Come and dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk Dance with me in the colors of the dusk The paths we're walking on, they crumble behind us But if we leave now, they will never find us And if this crazy world spins itself down to dust, I want to be with you in the colors When you again start hoping with your arms wide open Come on, dance with me, dance with me into the colors of the dusk And all will be right, dancing like water with the light Dance with me, won't you dance with me into the colors of the dusk? In The Colors (please listen to it) I really think you guys might like it (i hope). I'm going to buy the cd. |
Re: Fave song lyrics
I really like this song. As I get older I really enjoy being home. I have a wonderful wife, good kids and beautiful house. I can sit on my deck and watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets and hop on a 4 wheeler and be in the hills and forest in minutes where I can drive all day and see no one else. I don't have to be gone from home traveling a lot but I do every now and then and I am always glad when I am heading home.
"Home" I'm staring out into the night, Trying to hide the pain. I'm going to the place where love And feeling good don't ever cost a thing. And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain. Well I'm going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, So I'm going home. Well I'm going home. The miles are getting longer, it seems, The closer I get to you. I've not always been the best man or friend for you. But your love remains true. And I don't know why. You always seem to give me another try. So I'm going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old, Be careful what you wish for, 'Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, And then some you don't want. Be careful what you wish for, 'Cause you just might get it all. You just might get it all, yeah. Oh, well I'm going home, Back to the place where I belong, And where your love has always been enough for me. I'm not running from. No, I think you got me all wrong. I don't regret this life I chose for me. But these places and these faces are getting old. I said these places and these faces are getting old, So I'm going home. I'm going home. Daughtry - Home I generally don't want to like the AI albums that have come out. They have just been so much cookie cutter fluff. But, I downloaded the Daughtry Album and really really like it. Not really a bad song on the whole thing. |

Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah
The Jeff Buckley version is the better one, though. http://www.lyrics007.com/Jeff%20Buck...%20Lyrics.html |
