Moody Blues - Never Comes the Day

 

 

Cold hearted orb that rules the night,

removes the colours from our sight.

Red is grey, and yellow, white,

but we decide which is right,

and which is an illusion.

Love the gentle acoustic vibe and how this nice cool, breezy gentle electric solo starts midway through the song.

 

 

The House of Love - Don't Fade Away

 

Drop a little weight of illusion

take away the time, blow your mind

Only way to look is the top

and maybe you're the crime I just can't find

 

Don't fade away

You're here to stay

Don't fade away

 

Succor someone out of their sleep

Baby you're the cream when the moment comes

Cover me and climb on my arms

You're the spirit of another day

 

So don't fade away

You're here to stay

Don't fade away

You're mine, babe

Is that Justin Hayward that does the poetry at the end of Nights In White Satin? I may have to Google that...

 

 

Here's a nod to the late, great Lemmy...

The sirens are screamin'

And the fires are howlin'

Way down in the valley tonight

There's a man in the shadows

With a gun in his eye

And a blade shinin' oh so bright

 

There's evil in the air

And there's thunder in the sky

And a killer's on the bloodshot streets

Oh and down in the tunnel

Where the deadly are rising

Oh I swear I saw a young boy

Down in the gutter

He was starting to foam in the heat

 

Oh baby, you're the only thing

In this whole world

That's pure and good and right

And wherever you are

And wherever you go

There's always gonna be some light

 

But I gotta get out

I gotta break it out now

Before the final crack of dawn

So we gotta make the most

Of our one night together

When it's over you know

We'll both be so alone

 

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

Oh, when the night is over

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone, gone, gone

 

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

But when the day is done

And the sun goes down

And the moonlight's shinin' through

 

Then like a sinner

Before the gates of Heaven

I'll come crawlin' on back to you

 

I'm gonna hit the highway

Like a battering ram

On a silver black Phantom bike

Oh, when the metal is hot

And the engine is hungry

And we're all about to see the light

 

Nothing ever grows

In this rotting old hole

And everything is stunted and lost

And nothing really rocks

And nothing really rolls

And nothing's ever worth the cost

 

And I know that I'm damned

If I never get out

And baby, I'm damned if I do

But with every other beat

I got left in my heart

You know I'd rather be damned with you

 

Well if I gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

Dancing through the night with you

Well if I gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

Gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

Gotta be damned

You know I wanna be damned

 

Dancing through the night

Dancing through the night

Dancing through the night with you

 

Oh baby, you're the only thing

In this whole world

That's pure and good and right

And wherever you are

And wherever you go

There's always gonna be some light

 

But I gotta get out

I gotta break it out now

Before the final crack of dawn

So we gotta make the most

Of our one night together

When it's over you know

We'll both be so alone

 

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

Oh when the night is over

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone, gone, gone

 

Like a bat out of Hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes

But when the day is done

And the sun goes down

And the moonlight's shining through

 

Then like a sinner

Before the gates of Heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you

 

Then like a sinner

Before the gates of Heaven

I'll come crawling on back to you

 

I can see myself tearin' up the road

Faster than any other boy has ever gone

Oh and my skin is raw but my soul is ripe

And no one's gonna stop me

Now I'm gonna make my escape

 

But I can't stop thinking of you

And I never see the sudden curve

Till it's way too late

And I never see the sudden curve

Till it's way too late

 

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit

In the blazin' sun

Torn and twisted

At the foot of a burnin' bike

And I think somebody somewhere

Must be tolling a bell

 

And the last thing I see

Is my heart, still beatin'

Breakin' out of my body

And flyin' away

Like a bat out of Hell

 

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit

In the blazing sun

All torn and twisted

At the foot of a burnin' bike

And I think somebody somewhere

Must be tollin' a bell

 

And the last thing I see

Is my heart, still beatin', still beatin'

Breakin' out of my body

And flyin' away

Like a bat out of Hell

 

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Oh, like a bat out of Hell

Hi Nova, Karen Carpenter could sing Old McDonald and make it sound so beautiful you'd cry.  :D I think that solo started the whole power ballad genre!

"I Am A Child"

 

I am a child, I'll last a while.

You can't conceive

of the pleasure in my smile.

You hold my hand,

rough up my hair,

It's lots of fun

to have you there.

 

God gave to you,

now, you give to me,

I'd like to know

what you learned.

The sky is blue

and so is the sea.

What is the color,

when black is burned?

What is the color?

 

You are a man, you understand.

You pick me up

and you lay me down again.

You make the rules,

you say what's fair,

It's lots of fun

to have you there.

 

God gave to you,

now, you give to me,

I'd like to know

what you learned.

The sky is blue

and so is the sea.

What is the color,

when black is burned?

What is the color?

 

I am a child, I'll last a while.

You can't conceive

of the pleasure in my smile.

Buffalo Tom - Taillights Fade

 

 

Sister, can you hear me now

The ringing in your ears

I'm down on the ground

My luck's been dry for years

 

I'm lost in the dark

And I feel like a dinosaur

Broken face and broken hands

I'm a broken man

 

I've hit the wall, I'm about to fall

But I'm closing in on it

I feel so weak on a losing streak

Watch my taillights fade to black

 

I read a thing about this girl

She was a hermit in her world

Her story was much like mine

She could be my valentine

 

And although we've never met

I won't forget her yet

She cut herself off from her past

Now she's alone at last

 

I feel so sick, lost love's last licks

But I'm closing down on it

I feel so weak on a losing streak

Watch my taillights fade to black

 

Lost my life in cheap wine

Now it's quiet time

Cappy dick nor Jesus Christ

Could not help my fate

 

But I'm underneath a gun

I'm singing about my past

Had myself a wonderful thing

But I could not make it last

 

I've hit the wall, I'm about to fall

But I'm closing in on it

I feel so small, underneath it all

Watch my taillights fade to black

 

Watch my taillights fade

Watch my taillights fade

Watch my taillights fade

I could sing Old McDonald and make you cry too, for the opposite reason  :laugh: Yes Karen Carpenter was definitely one of the best voices ever,  :thumbsup:

The Cure - Letter to Elise

 

 

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say

I just can't stay here every yesterday

Like keep on acting out the same

The way we act out

Every way to smile, forget

And make-believe we never needed

Any more than this

Any more than this

 

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do

I know I'll never really get inside of you

To make your eyes catch fire

The way they should

The way the blue could pull me in

If they only would, if they only would

At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else

That hides away

From me and you, there're worlds to part

With aching looks and breaking hearts

And all the prayers your hands can make

Oh I just take as much as you can throw

And then throw it all away

Oh I throw it all away

Like throwing faces at the sky

Like throwing arms round

 

Yesterday, I stood and stared

Wide-eyed in front of you

And the face I saw looked back

The way I wanted to

But I just can't hold my tears away

The way you do

 

Elise believe I never wanted this

I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises

I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about

But I let the dream go

And the promises broke

And the make-believe ran out

 

So Elise

It doesn't matter what you say

I just can't stay here every yesterday

Like keep on acting out the same

The way we act out

Every way to smile

Forget and make-believe we never needed

Any more than this

Any more than this

 

And every time I try to pick it up

Like falling sand

As fast as I pick it up

It runs away through my clutching hands

But there's nothing else I can really do

There's nothing else I can really do

There's nothing else I can really do

At all
