Certain lines that make you sad
I'm not talking about whole songs just the odd line in a certain song that affects you when you hear it...for example...
"We were raised on the space race, now they expect us to clean toilets"-----"Glory Days" by Pulp "I think I did the right thing in slipping away"-----"Lazyitis" by Happy Mondays "I ache in the places where I used to play"-----"Tower of song" by Leonard Cohen (theres quite a few good lines from that one) "The moon just went behind the clouds to hide it's face and cry"-----"I'm so lonesome I could cry" by Hank Williams "In 27 years, I've drank 15,000 beers and they just washed against me like the sea unto a pier"-----"Trains across the sea" by Silver Jews Any other suggestions? |

"I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees,
Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother, And I fell by his side, and that's how we died, Clinging like kids to each other," - Motorhead, 1916 (Album and song) "For to hump tent and pegs, a man needs two legs No more waltzing Matilda for me." - And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda, many covers, personal favorite the Pogues |
"There's nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear, than to stand in a bar of a pub with no beer" ;)
Pub with No Beer - Slim Dusty "Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head, And when I woke up in me hospital bed And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was dead -- Never knew there was worse things than dying." The Band Played Waltzing Matilda - Eric Bogle Edit: That's spooky Malk, I hadn't seen your edit...it's a great tune. Redgum do it well too. "Frankie kicked a mine the day that mankind kicked the moon, God help me, he was going home in June. I can still see Frankie, drinking tinnies in the Grand Hotel On a thirty-six hour rec leave in Vung Tau And I can still hear Frankie, lying screaming in the jungle Til the morphine came and killed the bloody row. And the Anzac legends didn't mention mud and blood and tears And the stories that my father told me never seemed quite real. I caught some pieces in my back that I didn't even feel God help me, I was only nineteen." "I Was Only 19" aka "A Walk in the Light Green" - Redgum |
thats fucked up, i was about to paste from the same tune, pogues version
i will anyway, its a very sad song So they collected the cripples, the wounded <and> maimed And they shipped us back home to Australia <The legless, the armless>, the blind <and> insane Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay I looked at the place where <me> legs used to be And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me To grieve and to mourn and to pity And the band played Waltzing Matilda As they carried us down the gangway But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared <And they> turned all their faces away |
"I held her close I kissed her - our last kiss,
I found the love that I knew I had missed. Well now she's gone even though I hold her tight, I lost my love, my life that night." - Pearl Jam, Last Kiss Means a lot if you've ever be in a bad car crash and wondered if you would ever see your family and friends again. Rush - Nobody's Hero. http://www.lyricscafe.com/r/rush/107.htm Whole song.... Reminds me of too many people. First heard it a few weeks after my grandfather passed away. |
I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand
under an old street light, near a garbage can now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit she hates her life, and what she's done to it there's one more kid that will never go to school never get to fall in love, never get to be cool - Neil Young (and duo with Pearl Jam) I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood - Pearl Jam I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when I'm not around You're so fuckin' special, I wish I was special - Radiohead Under the bridge downtown is where I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away - Red Hot Chili Peppers Leaving flowers on your grave show that I still care But black roses and Hail Mary's can't bring back what's taken from me I reach to the sky and call out your name And if I could trade I would - The Offspring I looked into your eyes and saw a world that does not exist I looked into your eyes and saw a world i wish i was in I'll never find someone quite as touched as you I'll never love someone quite the way that i loved you - Vast Families being torn apart. Doesn't have to be this way. Some people, just have no heart. It's happening every day. Pure massacre, pure massacre... - Silverchair |
"Bands, those funny little plans that never work out right"----"Holes" by Mercury Rev
"People you've been before that you dont want around any more/They push and they shove and wont bend to your will/I'll keep them still"----"Behind the bars" by Elliot Smith "If you're so very entertaining, then why are you on your own tonight?"-----"I know its over" by The Smiths "Carved out in stone, these are the rules for being alone"---Neil Young "Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say"----"knowing me knowing you" ABBA "Why dont we play the game?"----"Digital love" by Daft Punk (more the way its sung really but its sounds so plaintive) |
Sarah Mclachlan - "Do What You Have To Do"
and I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go every moment marked with apparitions of your soul I'm ever swiftly moving trying to escape this desire the yearning to be near you I do what I have to do the yearning to be near you I do what I have to do but I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go Sarah Mclachlan - "I love you" and I forgot to tell you I love you and the night's too long and cold here without you I grieve in my condition for I cannot find the strength to say I need you so VAST - "Flames" When I am with you there's no reason to pretend that when I am with you I feel flames again just put me inside you I would never ever leave VAST - "I'm Dying" Not one day goes by that I don't compromise you love for the cold love of the world it's killing me through my own evil pride Pearl Jam - "Black" All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah... Uh huh...uh huh...ooh... I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine |
Aerosmith- Dream On
Tears and death. A classic but not one of their most upbeat. :N: Sing with me sing for the years Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears Sing with me if it's just for today Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away |

Smiths - Please Please Please let me get what I want |
from:
Anachie Gordon- performed by many favourite is Loreena McKennit "You that are her maidens come take me by the hand And take me to the chamber that my love she lies in And he's kissed her cold lips 'til his heart has turned to stone And he's died in the chamber that his love she lies in." Black Boys On Mopeds Sinead O'Connor "Young mother down at Smithfield 5 am, looking for food for her kids In her arms she holds three cold babies And the first word that they learned was "please"... These are dangerous days To say what you feel is to dig your own grave "Remember what I told you If you were of the world they would love you"" I Am Stretched On Your Grave -Sinead O'Connor "So I'm stretched on your grave And will lie there forever If you hands were in mine I'd be sure we'd not sever My apple tree my brightness It's time we were together For I smell of the earth And am worn by the weather" Lover You Should Have Come Over Jeff Buckley "it's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder it's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her it's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter it's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever" Tender Heart Roy Rogers/Norton Buffalo "Young girl's heart Is innocent and tender Nothing brings it into bloom Like the first time in love Once it's broken She'll never be the same Her sunshine will be washed away with rain And now, Another tender heart is breakin' Another precious moment is slippin' away Another tender heart is breakin' And it's too late now to stop the pain " and a thousand others.........yes I'm a sook! :( |

Corny lyrics on their own
but couple them with "that" voice................;(
Fool (If You Think It's Over) (Chris Rea) Dyin' flame, you're free again Who could love, and do that to you All dressed in black, he won't be coming back Save your tears You've got years and years The pains of seventeen Unreal they're only dreams Save your cryin' for the day Fool if you think it's over 'Cause you said goodbye Fool if you think it's over I'll tell you why Newborn eyes always cry with pain At the first look at the morning sun Fool if you think it's over It's just begun Miss Teenage Dream, such a tragic scene He knocked your crown and ran away First wound of pride, and how you cried and cried But save your tears, you've got years and years (Fool if you think it's over) (Fool if you think it's over) .......that voice I'll buy you first good wine We'll have a real good time Save your cryin' for the day Fool if you think it's over 'Cause you said goodbye Fool if you think it's over I'll tell you why New born eyes always cry with pain At the first look at the morning sun Fool if you think it's over It's just begun New born eyes always cry with pain At the first look at the mornin' sun Fool if you think it's over It's just begun |
I'm long since dead and I live in hell
She's the only girl that I love well We were raised together and together we fell God is what I make of him. Palace Brothers - Riding Sometimes I sit up in the darkness And I watch my baby as she sleeps Then I climb in bed and I hold her tight I just lay there awake in the middle of the night Thinking about a wreck on the highway Bruce Springsteen - Wreck on the Highway |

And thank Christ there was nobody waiting for me To grieve and to mourn and to pity And the band played Waltzing Matilda As they carried us down the gangway But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared Then turned all their faces away ~ Joan Baez's rendition is my favourite. lyrics But now I'm sleeping fine Sometimes the truth is like a second chance I am the daughter of a great romance And they are the children of the war ~ Dar williams lyrics And what can I tell you my brother, my killer What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you I'm glad you stood in my way. If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free. Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes I thought it was there for good so I never tried.. ~ Famous blue raincoat lyrics And when I talk about therapy, I know what people think That it only makes you selfish and in love with your shrink But oh how I loved everybody else When I finally got to talk so much about myself.. And I wake up and I ask myself what state I'm in And I say well I'm lucky, 'cause I am like East Berlin I had this wall and what I knew of the free world.. ~ Dar williams lyrics Same old song.. Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind.. All we are is dust in the wind ~ Kansas |
