What song lyrics transport you to a different time and place?
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

What R/B group has the lyrics (and the scent of (her or your) perfume.) in it? I really want this song!!?
Song Lyrics from what I think is a R/B Group not sure. I just have that little bit of lyrics from it and I am not sure what song it is. I have heard it on the radio before. I would love to know!
What R/B group has the lyrics (and the scent of (her or your) perfume.) in it? I really want this song!!?
Without more lyrics it's pretty tought.
Could it be Boyz II Men's 4 Seasons of Loneliness
Chorus
In comes the winter breeze
That chills the air and drifts the snow
And I imagine kissing you under the mistletoe
When springtime makes its way here
Lilac blooms reminds me of the scent of your perfume
When summer burns with heat
I always get the hots for you
Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do
When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare
When you're not here it doesn't feel the same
Remember the nights when we closed our eyes
And vowed that you and I would be in love for all time
Anytime I think about these things is shared with you
I break down and cry 'cause I get so emotional
Until you release me I'm bound under ball and chain
Reminiscing our love as I watch four seasons change
Reply:I know it, but I just need a little bit more lyrics to go with it. There are several songs with those specific lyrics, so I need to know just a bit more.

How can I find out what song lyrics mean?
I'm looking for a general reference for various songs, and what the artist wrote them about.
How can I find out what song lyrics mean?
Well you can try www.songmeanings.net. Its more of a forum site so its more discussion than from the artist themselves. However sometimes a die hard fan will be able to bring up interview facts, etc. there especially if the song is a hit. They have A TON of artists and the lyrics are included too. Good luck!

Song Lyrics as Texts for Study?
My friend's children go to a small private school, and all the parents take turns presenting different lessons as an aid to the teachers. My friend has chosen to teach two sessions on song lyrics as texts, and not merely words set to music. She asked me to help her pick some songs.
What she is looking for are songs that tell a story, preferably something tied to real life. She wants lyrics from the 60s and 70s to minimize the chances that the children have already been exposed to them. The first week she will work with three different songs, playing the songs and then analyzing the lyrics as texts. The second week she will assign "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel and "It's the End of the World As We Know It" by REM, and have the children look up all the references in the songs.
Song Lyrics as Texts for Study?
You don't say how old the kids are, so that makes it difficult. A number of early Bob Dylan songs tell stories and have lyrics that are full of meaning. Try "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll", a song about a rich white young man who mindlessly murders a black restaurant worker, the mother of ten children...the young man gets six months, because his parents have connections. Another good one is "Only a Pawn in Their game", about the murder of Medgar Evers. These are all from the 60s. Gordon Lightfoot has a number of songs that tell stories: "Black Day in July", a song about the 1967 Detroit race riots; "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", the true story of a shipwreck on Lake Superior, and "Ballad of Yarmouth Castle, another shipwreck story; the latter two are from the 70s. "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" (from the 60s) is also good but likely not of interest outside of Canada.
Reply:Depending on the age of the students some of the songs of "Pearl Jam: deal with social issues such as child abuse
" Don't Call Me Daughter" and spousal abuse. " Better Man".
This sounds a little to dark in terms of themes.
It is probably better to stick to songs that reflect the events of an era. There have been many fine suggestions made by the others. I could add "Simon and Garfunkel" eg The Boxer
Reply:Some ideas... First off, anything by Harry Chapin, as he is a noted singer/story teller from the 70's. His most famous song was "Cat's in the Cradle". Another idea might be Vicki Lawrence's "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia". A less traditional 'story', Don McCLean's "American Pie" gives the entire history of rock and roll and is very rich in symbolism. Your best bet might be the inspiring "One Tin Soldier" by Coven, from the film "The Legend of Billy Jack". It's a fable and would be perfect for school kids. (BTW, what grade are the kids in?) Hope this helps!

A Lady's Lament
Hey, ho, The tides rolls in.
I have lost my love again.
He has sailed across the sea.
What will become of me?
I stand here talking to the sea.
Will she bring him back to me?
Day by day she tells her lies.
Night by night my spirit dies.
So it goes throughout the years.
As the end of my life nears.
No answer comes, she does not care.
She acts like I'm not even there.
The sea she's claimed my own true love.
But I've had words from up above.
Dreams come to me upon the wind.
Last words from him that he did send.
"My love, love the sea she would not wait.
So I'll meet you up at heaven's gate.
Where I'll claim you back again."
Hey, ho, Fiddly-I-O.
The tide rolls in again my friend.
Hey, ho, Fiddly-I-O.
Hey, ho, Fiddly -I-O!
What do you think of this these song lyrics?
You are a bit of a fool to post uncopyrighted material. Anyone can still them you know. That being said, they seem good but need work I think.
Reply:I dont know really what I think guess I need to hear you say it
Reply:They first struck me as somewhat trite, a superficial treatment of a serious subject.
Somewhere around the 3rd verse, they gained enough depth to be worth writing about.
Most good song lyrics also work as poetry. These don't, but they may be salvageable as song lyrics. It would take a vocal artist who can see beyond just hitting the notes to make this work, but it could work.

Reply:I am just sincerely hoping you know how utterly stupid, inane, thoughtless these answers were to your question.
My answer? Decent control of rhyme, not great. Average, actually. Third from last stanza, rhyme was forced. Language a bit archaic. what you tried to do in the last stanza, as a bookend to the first, it didn't really work. There wasn't enough in the middle to carry it through and make it feel authentic to the reader.
Advice? Humm. You probably can write better than this. I'd keep at it. You need focus.
Reply:it's a really great song! but i think you should add a chorus part,but only if you want.by the way great song!
Hey, ho, The tides rolls in.
I have lost my love again.
He has sailed across the sea.
What will become of me?
I stand here talking to the sea.
Will she bring him back to me?
Day by day she tells her lies.
Night by night my spirit dies.
So it goes throughout the years.
As the end of my life nears.
No answer comes, she does not care.
She acts like I'm not even there.

Where can I find the lyrics %26amp; music to song 'Beautiful, Beautiful Copenhagen'?
Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Friendly old girl of a town
'Neath her tavern light
On this merry night
Let us clink and drink one down
To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
Salty old queen of the sea
Once I sailed away
But I'm home today
Singing Copenhagen, wonderful, wonderful
Copenhagen for me
I sailed up the Skagerrak
And sailed down the Kattegat
Through the harbor and up to the quay
And there she stands waiting for me
With a welcome so warm and so gay
Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

Friendly old girl of a town
'Neath her tavern light

What do you think of the song lyrics of "Chicken Noodle soup"?
I think it is so weird. The first time I heard it a few days ago, I was like "what? what kind of song is that?" It sounds absolutely horrible and some of the worst lyrics ever, in my opinion. "Chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side". That line yet weird and horrible makes me laugh a little bit cause it's so strange and out there.
What do you think of the song lyrics of "Chicken Noodle soup"?
omg! i was wondering when someone was going to ask about this song. the first time i saw it i lauged a lot. i have to admit the song is stupid but funny. and the dance is even funnier. i asked my mom if she would ever buy the cd and she said no. it is a really stupid song and shows you where the world is coming to know. i mean, a song about chicken noodle soup? is this like the theme song for Campbells ?

Have You Forgotten?
by daryl worley
I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

Reply:Operator, can you help me place this call
You see the number on the matchbook is old and faded
She's living in L.A. With my best old ex-friend Ray
A guy she said she knew well and sometimes hated
Isn't that the way they say it goes but let's forget about that
Give me the number if you can find it
So I can call just to tell them I'm fine and to show
I've overcome the blow, I've learned to take it well
I only wish my words would just convince myself that it just wasn't real
But that's not the way it feels
Operator, could you help me place this call
Cause I can't read the number that you just gave me
There's something in my eyes
You know it happens every time
I think about a love that I thought would save me
Operator, let's forget about this call
There's no one there I really wanted to talk to
Thank you for your time
Cause you been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime.

Reply:When it comes to witty, poetic and meaningful lyrics, I'd defy anybody to do better than the Rainmakers. Among my favourites are Spite, which is on the first link, and includes this little note:
I seen dreams die, seen folks hated
seen the devil's slogans spray-painted
seen figures of authority saying bad is good
I seen the 6 o'clock news in my own neighborhood
in spite of everything
it's pretty good to be alive
And Siamese Twins, which is on the second link and includes this passage:
This is the story of siamese twins
How a man can be two places at once
When he's home with his lover he's away
Viewing through a two-way mirror
Everything's skewing into distorted visions
Of women-for-men
Coke-bottle lenses for the siamese twins
The third link gives connection to a whole load more of their lyrics. Check out Two Many Twenties on the "Skin" album, and "The Wages of Sin" on "Tornado".

Another favourite of mine is "Cabaret". Love the whole song, but won't bore you with all the lyrics here. I'll choose the ending. You probably know it anyway. It is from memory, so forgive me if I have made any mistake!
"I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie,
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea.
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower -
As a matter of fact, she rented by the hour.
The day she died the neighbours came to snicker
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liqour!"
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the Happiest corpse I'd ever seen!
I think of Elsie to this very day,
I remember how she'd smile at me and say ...
What good is sitting all alone in your room?
Come! Here the music play!
Life iS a Cabaret old chum!
So, come to the Cabaret!
And as for me, and as for me,
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I goooooooooo,
I'm going like Elsie!
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb,
It isn't that long a stay!
Life is a Cabaret old chum.
It's only a Cabaret old chum!
And I love A CABARET"
oops got carried away there! Was singing it in time to my typing. Have to find the CD and put it on, right now!
When I goooooooooooo -

Cause you been so much more than kind
And you can keep the dime.
Operator (That's Not the Way it Feels) by Jim Croce

Reply:When it comes to witty, poetic and meaningful lyrics, I'd defy anybody to do better than the Rainmakers. Among my favourites are Spite, which is on the first link, and includes this little note:
I seen dreams die, seen folks hated
seen the devil's slogans spray-painted
seen figures of authority saying bad is good
I seen the 6 o'clock news in my own neighborhood
in spite of everything
it's pretty good to be alive
And Siamese Twins, which is on the second link and includes this passage:
This is the story of siamese twins
How a man can be two places at once
When he's home with his lover he's away
Viewing through a two-way mirror
Everything's skewing into distorted visions
Of women-for-men
Coke-bottle lenses for the siamese twins
The third link gives connection to a whole load more of their lyrics. Check out Two Many Twenties on the "Skin" album, and "The Wages of Sin" on "Tornado".
Enjoy!

NEVER REACHING THE END
LOVE THAT SONG.
Reply:"What if God were one of us? Just a stranger on a bus?!" etc. Joan Osborne? Have forgotten her name, but loved the song.
Another favourite of mine is "Cabaret". Love the whole song, but won't bore you with all the lyrics here. I'll choose the ending. You probably know it anyway. It is from memory, so forgive me if I have made any mistake!
"I used to have this girlfriend known as Elsie,
With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea.
She wasn't what you'd call a blushing flower -
As a matter of fact, she rented by the hour.
The day she died the neighbours came to snicker
"Well, that's what comes from too much pills and liqour!"
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the Happiest corpse I'd ever seen!
I think of Elsie to this very day,
I remember how she'd smile at me and say ...
What good is sitting all alone in your room?
Come! Here the music play!
Life iS a Cabaret old chum!
So, come to the Cabaret!
And as for me, and as for me,
I made my mind up, back in Chelsea,
When I goooooooooo,
I'm going like Elsie!
Start by admitting from cradle to tomb,
It isn't that long a stay!
Life is a Cabaret old chum.
It's only a Cabaret old chum!
And I love A CABARET"
oops got carried away there! Was singing it in time to my typing. Have to find the CD and put it on, right now!
When I goooooooooooo -
I'm going like Elsie!

Over the mountains and the sea,
Your river runs with love for me,
and I will open up my heart
and let the Healer set me free.
