Re: Song lyrics that make you shiver
[ QUOTE ]
Hallelujah--Rufas Wainwright [/ QUOTE ] While Wainwright's version may be more chilling, the original lyrics are by Leonard Cohen. Check out 'Everybody Knows' by Cohen as well. Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody talking to their pockets Everybody wants a box of chocolates And a long stem rose Everybody knows Everybody knows that you love me baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that you've been faithful Ah give or take a night or two Everybody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes And everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows Everybody knows, everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows And everybody knows that it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you And everybody knows that you live forever Ah when you've done a line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows |

I sing the song because I love the man I know that some of you dont understand Milk-blood to keep from running out. Ive seen the needle and the damage done A little part of it in everyone But every junkies like a settin sun. |

[ QUOTE ] The entire song "Mad World" originally by Duran Duran [/ QUOTE ] "Mad World" is a song originally written by Roland Orzabal of the British band Tears for Fears. [ QUOTE ] but only when performed by Sacre, as in the movie Donnie Darko. [/ QUOTE ] The song reached a larger audience 19 years later, in 2001, when it was covered by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews for the film Donnie Darko. [ QUOTE ] The song "Last Kiss" originally by J. Frank Wilson And The Cavaliers [/ QUOTE ] "Last Kiss" is a song written by Wayne Cochran in 1962 and originally performed by Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Riders. Later in 1964, J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers did a rendition to better commercial success. [/ QUOTE ] Well, I was close. (The Duran Duran -> Tears for Fears was just a slip of the tongue (fingers), the Donnie Darko one I was going off the copy I downloaded off of iTunes, and the Last Kiss credits I googled. Oh well). |

Re: Song lyrics that make you shiver
More Dylan:
Ballad of Hollis Brown Hollis Brown He lived on the outside of town Hollis Brown He lived on the outside of town With his wife and five children And his cabin fallin' down ... Your babies are crying louder It's pounding on your brain Your babies are crying louder It's pounding on your brain Your wife's screams are stabbin' you Like the dirty drivin' rain Your grass it is turning black There's no water in your well Your grass is turning black There's no water in your well You spent your last lone dollar On seven shotgun shells Way out in the wilderness A cold coyote calls Way out in the wilderness A cold coyote calls Your eyes fix on the shotgun That's hangin' on the wall Your brain is a-bleedin' And your legs can't seem to stand Your brain is a-bleedin' And your legs can't seem to stand Your eyes fix on the shotgun That you're holdin' in your hand There's seven breezes a-blowin' All around the cabin door There's seven breezes a-blowin' All around the cabin door Seven shots ring out Like the ocean's pounding roar There's seven people dead On a South Dakota farm There's seven people dead On a South Dakota farm Somewhere in the distance There's seven new people born It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding And if my thought-dreams could be seen They'd probably put my head in a guillotine But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only. Most of the Time Most of the time She ain't even in my mind, I wouldn't know her if I saw her She's that far behind. Most of the time I can't even be sure If she was ever with me Or if I was with her. Most of the time I'm halfway content, Most of the time I know exactly where I went, I don't cheat on myself, I don't run and hide, Hide from the feelings, that are buried inside, I don't compromise and I don't pretend, I don't even care if I ever see her again Most of the time. |
