in a little while

[seXieleXie]

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while I'll be there


In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love


When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
WiIl you be there


In a little while
I won't (be) blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees


That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've know her since


Since you were a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by


My, how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while


Slow down my beating heart
Man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light


Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on


Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

I was hoping this was going to be a U2 thread.

Great song. Why do you post it?

 

[april-wine]

Has someone caught our fair leXie's eye............HMmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[patient1]

On your way somewhere, or still marooned in Ithaca?

 

[seXieleXie]

i'm just in a U2 kind of mood.

 

[seXieleXie]

And love
Is not the easy thing
The only baggage
That you can bring
Not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind


And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong


Walk on
Walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it


Walk on
Walk on
Stay safe tonight


You're packing a suitcase for a place
None of us has been
A place that has to be believed
To be seen


You could have flown away
A singing bird
In an open cage
Who will only fly
Only fly for freedom


Walk on
Walk on
What you got
You can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it


Walk on
Walk on
You stay safe tonight


And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can only take so much


Walk on
Walk on


Home
Hard to know what it is
If you never had one


Home
I can't say where it is
But I know I'm going


Home
That's where the hurt is


And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on


Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind


All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break


All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind


All that you reason
All that you care

It's only time
And I'll never fill up all I find



All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
And all that you see


All you create
All that you wreck
All that you hate

 

[daedalos]

Great album. And they should have gotten all the grammys they were nominated for.

May they continue to make music for many more years to come.

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard


I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company


I never thought you were a fool
But darling look at you
You gotta stand up straight
Carry your own weight
These tears are going nowhere baby


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And now you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I will not forsake
The colors that you bring
The nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing


I am still enchanted
By the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears
Through your eyes I can see


And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now
My, oh my


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


Oh love, look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm 'til you discover how deep


I wasn't jumping, for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all


You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it


And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass


And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along this stony pass


It's just a moment
This time will pass

 

[seXieleXie]

why? because i feel like it

from "all that you can't leave behind" to "the joshua tree" in three easy clicks of the mouse


See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you


Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you


With or without you
With or without you


Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you


With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you


And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away


My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose


And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away


With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you


With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

[seXieleXie]

you are all so unappreciative. i'll go back to work now.

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
But she won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she wants a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing


I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing


I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
I know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
I guess it's a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing


I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
(Ain't love the sweetest thing)
Ain't love the sweetest thing
(Ain't love the sweetest thing)


Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
Ours is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing


Doo doo doot doot
Doo doo doot doot
Doo doo doot doot
Doot doot doot doot

The sweetest thing
Oh, the sweetest thing

Still at it I see

Do you take requests? How about something from POP? Staring at the Sun or Gone for instance.

 

[seXieleXie]

tnx foxy

 

[seXieleXie]

ask and ye shall recieve

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me


Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all


I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside


I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind


There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings


Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach


To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside


Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind


Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye


Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me


You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside


I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind

best damn song on POP

So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
'Til you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you'd almost wasted away


You had to win
You couldn't just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colors
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history


Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees
Please...please...please...
Please...


So you never knew
How low you'd stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground 'til they made you crawl
So you never knew
That the heaven you keep, you stole


Your Catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick-on tattoos
Now they're making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermon on the mount
From the boot of your car


Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees
Please...please...please...
Leave me out of this please


So love is hard
And love is tough
But love is not
What you're thinking of


September
Streets capsizing
Spilling over
Down the drain
Shards of glass
Splinters like rain
But you could only feel
Your own pain


October
Talk getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again


Please...please...please...
Get up off your knees, yeah
Please...please...please...
Please...


So love is big
Is bigger than us
But love is not
What you're thinking of


It's what lovers deal
It's what lovers steal
You know I've found it hard to receive


'Cause you my love
I could never believe

Ok, I am just going to join in. Here is another favorite from POP:


Playboy Mansion

If Coke is a mystery
Michael Jackson...History
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gift to get me through
The gates of that mansion


If OJ is more than a drink
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows, confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and we'll be through
The gates of that mansion


I never bought a Lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone's space
The banks feel like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love, come on down
Don't wake her, she'll come around


Chance is a kind of religion
Where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love, come on down
Let my numbers come around


Don't know if I can hold on
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
'Til the colours come flashing
And the lights go on


Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe


We'll go driving in that pool
It's who you know that gets you through
The gates of the Playboy mansion
But they don't mention...the pain


Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
Then will there be no time for sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame

So Cruel

 

[daedalos]

A goody from Rattle and Hum:


All I Want is You

You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
You say you want
Your story to remain untold


But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you


You say you'll give me
A highway with no one on it
Treasure just to look upon it
All the riches in the night


You say you'll give me
Eyes in a moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest
But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you


You say you want
Your love to work out right
To last with me through the night


You say you want
Diamonds on a ring of gold
Your story to remain untold
Your love not to grow cold


All the promises we break
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you


You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...all I want is...
You...

Re: why? because i feel like it

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

But all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you

 

[seXieleXie]

for Cheffie

Don't move
Don't talk out of time
Don't think
Don't worry
Everything's just fine
Just fine

Don't grab
Don't clutch
Don't hope for too much
Don't breathe
Don't achieve
Or grieve without leave

Don't check
Just balance on the fence
Don't answer
Don't ask
Don't try and make sense

Don't whisper
Don't talk
Don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete
Don't miss the one beat

Don't travel by train
Don't eat
Don't spill
Don't piss in the drain
Don't make a will

Don't fill out any forms
Don't compensate
Don't cower
Don't crawl
Don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate

Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored
I feel numb
I feel numb
Too much is not enough
I feel numb
Don't change your brand Gimme what you got
Don't listen to the band
Don't gape Gimme what I don't get
Don't ape
Don't change your shape Gimme some more
Have another grape
Too much is not enough
I feel numb
I feel numb
Gimme some more
A piece of me, baby
I feel numb
Don't plead
Don't bridle
Don't shackle
Don't grind Gimme some more
Don't curve
Don't swerve I feel numb
Lie, die, serve Gimme some more
Don't theorize, realise, polarise I feel numb
Chance, dance,dismiss, apologise Gimme what you got
Gimme what I don't get
Gimme what you got
Too much is not enough
Don't spy I feel numb
Don't lie
Don't try
Imply
Detain
Explain
Start again I feel numb
I feel numb
Don't triumph
Don't coax
Don't cling
