one
don't pick up the phone you know he always calling when he's drunk and alone
two
don't let him in you have to kick him out again
three
don't be his friend you know you gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
and if you're under him
you ain't getting over him
i got new rules
i count 'em
i gotta tell to myself

"Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy," ~ John Denver

Favorite line in a song.
 

"hold your warm and tender body close to mine"..Ray Price

Lost Boy-Landon Wall
 

You see I lost my mind,when I fell in love with you!!!

Everbodys Talkin.Nilsson
 

I'm going where the sun keeps shinin,through the pouring rain

...I'll write on your tombstone, "I thank you for dinner", the game that we animals play is a winner.
---Jethro Tull, Bungle in The Jungle

...in the paper today, words of war and of waste, but you turn right over to the t.v. page.
---Crowded House, Don't Dream It's Over

Elton John/Bernie Taupin-Saturday nights alright
 

I'm a juvenile product of the working class
who's best friends floats in the bottom of a glass

Her Diamonds=Rob Thomas
 

oooh oooh,I can't take no more,her tears like diamonds on the floor.

Favorite line in a song.
 

"I wanna kiss you all over" Exile

She's Gone-Hall and Oats
 

I'm as worn as toothbrush hanging, in the stand

Sarah McLachlan, Do What You Have To Do
 

Deep within I'm shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you

David Gray, Snow In Vegas
 

And just when I was thinking
We'd come about as far
As this old road could take us
Time to pull on over baby
Yeah just stop the car

Flightless Bird, American Mouth - Iron & Wine
 

Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog eared map
And called for you everywhere

sounds of silence-Simon/Garfuncle
 

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls

Tell her you belong to me-Beth Hart
 

There's a river on my skin
There's a dragon in the dark
Nothing scares me more
Than the silence of your heart

Pa'Lente -Hurray for the Riff Raff
 

Well lately, don't understand what I am
Treated as a fool
Not quite a woman or a man
Well I don't know
I guess I don't understand the plan
Colonized, and hypnotized, be something
Sterilized, dehumanized, be something
Well take your pay
And stay out the way, be something
Ah, do your best
But fuck the rest, be something
Well lately, it's been mighty hard to see
Just searching for my lost humanity
I look for you, my friend
But do you look for me?

Cigarettes After Sex, K
 

And on the Lower East Side you're dancing with me now
And I'm taking pictures of you with flowers on the wall
Think I like you best when you're dressed in black from head to toe
Think I like you best when you're just with me
And no one else

I have to say I'm enjoyong this thread and all the lyrics and new songs

I'm trying my hand at writing

And must admit,i'm terrible

As a singer I have always delved into lyrics

I think songwriters are underated

It's easy to write crappy ones though LOL,I seem to excell at that

So thanks and lets keep the lyrics coming in

If you happen to be good at lyrics,be interested to hear some

cheers music lovers

You and VintageFemme have great taste in music and lyric selection. Really enjoying this thread as well.

Have not had enough time to write lately or abuse my violin, work has been consuming all my time. Hopefully when things slow down will share some lyrics.

Cheers!
