Lyrics

[TentoumuChu]

涙がまだ悲しみだった頃 | Namida ga mada kanashimi datta koro | When My Tears Were Still Sad

So I was certainly
In love with you
I guess it was
Just that I intended to love you
You were an adult
Now that I think about it
I had treated you appropriately

There were times I drew near with a kiss, huh
Somehow I drew back
Since then, I've lost confidence
The days when my tears were still sad

My chest tightened and was so painful
What should I do at such a time?
It's not something that school could teach me
While I was grumbling, walking by the shopping district on my way home
I had to run at full power

Before I became an adult
I somehow had losses
'Cause I was living
An easier life
When people are chased, they run away
And when they run, the ones who case them
Seem to be a little too wholehearted about it

When I happened to end up seeing you
Walking with another girl
On the side of the street, I hyperventilated

I'm glad I was able to cry so quickly
I had thought tears were something you had to keep inside
I was really forgetting how to smile
And I ended up hurting my friends and parents
The day some parts of my heart turned into a pale bruise
I was too young to be hurt like that

I finally knew how to cry
It's fine if you make your mind blank and look down

I'm glad I was able to cry so quickly
I had thought tears were something you had to keep inside
I was really forgetting how to smile
And I ended up hurting my friends and parents
The day some parts of my heart turned into a pale bruise
I was too young to be hurt like that

Joni Mitchell - People's Parties


[COLOR="Blue"] All the people at this party
They've got a lot of style
They've got stamps of many countries
They've got passport smiles
Some are friendly
Some are cutting
Some are watching it from the wings
Some are standing in the centre
Giving to get something

Photo beauty gets attention
Then her eye paint's running down
She's got a rose in her teeth
And a lampshade crown
One minute she's so happy
Then she's crying on someone's knee
Saying laughing and crying
You know it's the same release

I told you when I met you
I was crazy
Cry for us all beauty
Cry for Eddie in the corner
Thinking he's nobody
And Jack behind his joker
And stone-cold Grace behind her fan
And me in my frightened silence
Thinking I don't understand

I feel like I'm sleeping
Can you wake me
You seem to have a broader sensibility
I'm just living on nerves and feelings
With a weak and a lazy mind
And coming to peoples parties
Fumbling deaf dumb and blind

I wish I had more sense of humor
Keeping the sadness at bay
Throwing the lightness on these things
Laughing it all away
Laughing it alI away
Laughing it all away[/COLOR]

Hey You - Pink Floyd

[COLOR="blue"]Hey you out there in the cold
Getting lonely getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.[/COLOR]

Handsome Man - Matt Alber

Hey handsome man,
What you do last night
Did you have a good time
Was the music alright?
Did you wear that jacket
With those deep blue jeans
I bet the boys went crazy
Bet you caused a scene
Cuz everyone smiles
When my handsome man walks by
I say handsome man
Where you off to now
Are you out in the garden
Or off to town
Are there any new songs
That you're listening too
Im gonna take you dancing
When i come see you
Cuz everybody smiles
When my handsome man walks by
He's got the wind in his hair
And the stars all in his eyes
The more i try to tell you
Oh, the more i get it wrong
So handsome man ill tell you
With a song
Thats been hidden in the sand
Beneath the stones
That once did spell our names
A song thats been stirring
In the leaves and
With the wind will
Conswell the flames
Once again... once again
Handsome man
Can i ask you this
I know we've both been loved
And we've both been kissed
But when the hounds are sleeping
And we're 93
Will you tell me
The story of you and me
And how everything changed
When your handsome man walked by
With his head in the clouds
And the stars caught in his eyes
When the world goes crazy
And you forget where you belong
Handsome man ill tell you
When theres nothing
left to sell you
Handome man ill tell you
With a song

In the 80s and 90's there were of course the Madonna gays, but there was also a much smaller group of us Siouxsie gays. Despite being a huge Siouxsie fan, it wasn't until today I learned something about this song. I had thought before they were just pretty lyrics about partying and celebration, but not much else. Learning that the song was about Jayne Mansfield and the car crash that took her life ("Kiss them for me, I may be delayed"), it suddenly all comes together and the lyrics are actually pretty clever.

It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far

No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found

"Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down"

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed

It's divoon, oh it's serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart shaped pool of fame

"Nothing or no one will ever
Make me let you down"

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the 10th impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed

Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed

The world is full of 'break-up' songs, but for some reason, there are two that hit me hard, and I don't know why. LOL

I wasn't even breaking up with anyone when they were popular.

This one is from Whitney Houston, and the second verse is the first that gets to me.

All at once, I finally took a moment and I'm realizing that, You're not coming back
And it finally hit me all at once
All at once, I started counting teardrops and at least a million fell, My eyes began to swell,
And all my dreams were shattered all at once

Ever since I met you You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you Though I must face it all alone
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely see Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know So much more than it shows
All at once

All at once, I looked around and found that you were with another love
In someone else's arms, And all my dreams were shattered, all at once
All at once
The smile that used to greet me brightened someone else's day
She took your smile away
And left me with just memories, all at once

Ever since I met you You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you Though I must face it all alone
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely see Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know So much more than it shows
All at once

[CellarDweller]

The second song is this one from Vanessa Williams. Just the thought of someone asking for one more night and promising not to cry affects me for some reason.


It's hard to realize we've said our last goodbyes
Where could the dream have gone to
Now I know there's no way that I can make you stay
No matter how I want to

We made some memories that my heart will always treasure
Before you close the door let's make one more

Baby, just for tonight let me give myself to you
And all I ask is just for tonight love me like you used to do
And I promise that I won't cry, I won't ask you why
I won't even try to change your feelings
If you just hold me tight, just once more, just for tonight

I thought the love we found Was built on solid ground
And it would just grow stronger yeah
Crazy as it may seem I need to dream the dream
For just, just a little longer
So for the sake of all that magic we made together
Open your heart to mine just one more time

Baby, just for tonight let me give myself to you
And all I ask is just for tonight love me like you used to do
And I promise that I won't cry, I won't ask you why
I won't even try to change your feelings
If you just hold me tight, just once more, just for tonight baby, oh

All I want is one more night, yeah
So why don't you come to me let me dream?
This night means everything to me
All I ask is for tonight
Baby just hold me tight. Yeah...
Come to me, let me dream
This night means everything to me

I love the lyrics to Maddness by Muse. Interestingly, sometimes when you look this up it changes "I need to love" at the end to "I need your love". This COMPLETELY changes the meaning of the song. "To love" is the correct lyric.


I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole, yeah

I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you mean
Oh oh oh

And now, I need to know is this real love
Or is it just madness keeping us afloat?
And when I look back at all the crazy fights we had
Like some kind of madness
Was taking control
Yeah

And now I have finally seen the light
And I have finally realized
What you need
Mm

And now I have finally seen the end (Finally seen the end)
And I'm not expecting you to care (Expecting you to care)
But I have finally seen the light (Finally seen the light)
I have finally realized (Realized)
I need to love
I need to love

Come to me,
Trust in your dream
Come on and rescue me
Yes I have known, I can be wrong
Maybe I'm too headstrong
Our love is
Madness

Ahhhhh...good 'ole breakup songs....

The one I liked to listen to when I was breaking up....

Carole King............You Go Your Way I'll Go Mine

[COLOR="Blue"]You've put these distances between us
You've built these walls, they're your design
With sharp and angry lies, you've cut the binding ties
While making love seem so unkind

Well, allright, you go your way, I'll go mine
I'll get over you in time
There's nothing here to hold you now

Oh, it's your life, so make it shine
You go your way, I'll go mine

I've tried to justify your thinking
I've given in and been denied
Like a hundred times before, you take and ask for more
The only thing you leave is compromise

Well, allright, you go your way, I'll go mine
I'll get over you in time
There's nothing here to hold you now
We left those dreams so far behind
You go your way, I'll go mine

Oh, there's no need for false amending
Things get so confusing when you do
When love's become a loss, we spend our nights defending
I feel so damn defeated when we're through

But allright, you go your way, I'll go mine
I'll get over you in time
There's nothing here to hold you now
I just can't fight your willful mind
You go your way, I'll go mine [/COLOR]


...but the best one..from Millie Jackson...only has a few lyrics....

[CellarDweller]

another great break up song

[Miles]

PJ Harvey - "This Is Love"

I can't believe life's so complex
When I just wanna' sit here and watch you undress
This is love that I'm feeling
Does it have to be a life full of dread?
I wanna' chase you round the table, I wanna' touch your head
This is love that I'm feeling
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
When you taste so good
I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering
While my head burns
This is love that I'm feeling
Even in the summer, even in the spring
You can never get too much of a wonderful thing

You're the only story that I never told
You're my dirty little secret, wanna' keep you so
Come on out, come on over, help me forget
Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in
- This is love that I'm feeling



PJ Harvey - "Horses In My Dreams"

Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
They pull out of here
They pull, they are free

Rode a horse around the world
Along the tracks of a train
Broke the record, found the gold
Set myself free again

I have pulled myself clear

Horses in my dreams
Like waves, like the sea
On the tracks of a train
Set myself free again

I have pulled myself clear
