Paul Young – Love Of The Common People

Paul Young – Love Of The Common People

Pure youth sentiment.

Living on free-food tickets.
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through.
What can you do, mmm?
Tears from your little sister,
Crying because she doesn’t have a dress without a patch
For the party to go.
But you know
She’ll get by.

‘Cause she’s living in the love of the common people,
Smile’s from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (you’re so cold)
And she can.

It’s a good thing you don’t have busfare (it’s a good thing);
It would fall through (ouch) the hole in your pocket and you’d lose it
In the snow on the ground (ow, ah ah ya).
You gotta walk into town
To find a job (what’s it now).
Tryin’ to keep your hands warm (it’s so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And chill you to the bone (brrr cha).
Somehow you’d better go home, where it’s warm,

Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile’s from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (you’re so cold)
And she can.

Living on a dream ain’t easy,
But the closer the knit,
The tighter the fit (the closer the knit),
And the chills stay away (ow, ah ah ya) –
Just take ‘em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is your foundation (ooh now, ooh now, ooh now),
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation,
But don’t forget to pray (forget to pray).
Just making it strong where you belong.

And we’re living in the love of the common people,
Smile’s from the heart of a family man (what’s it now).
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (you’re so cold).
And she can.

Yes, we’re living in the love of the common people,
Smile’s from the heart of a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (you’re so cold).
Living in the love of the common people,
Smile’s from the heart of a family man (what’s it now).
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can (you’re so cold).
Living in the love of the common people,
Smile’s really hard on a family man (ah ah ya).
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to;
Mama’s gonna love you just as much as she can.
And she can.

Fleetwood Mac – Go Your own way

GO YOUR OWN WAY

Nothing personal.

Loving you
Isn’t the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel
If I could
Maybe I’d give you my world
How can I
When you won’t take it from me
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you wanna do
If I could
Baby I’d give you my world
Open up
Everything’s waiting for you
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You an call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
go your own way

Bloc Party – I Still Remember

Bloc Party – I Still Remember

The 16 of feb I posted a number of Bloc party. Today I want to share another number of bloc party. This one is a track from the new album.

Text:

I, I still remember
how you looked that afternoon.
There was only you.

You said “it’s just like a full moon”.
Blood beats faster in our veins
We left our trousers by the canal
And our fingers, they almost touched

You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie

I’ve gone wherever you wanted

(I still remember)

And on that teachers’ training day
We wrote our names on every train
Laughed at the people off to work
So monochrome and so lukewarm

And I can see our days are becoming nights.
I could feel your heartbeat across the grass.
We should have run.
I would go with you anywhere.
I should have kissed you by the water

You should have asked me for it
I would have been brave
You should have asked me for it
How could I say no?

And our love could have soared
Over playgrounds and rooftops
Every park bench screams your name
I kept your tie

I would let you if you asked me

I still remember

Bloc Party – So Here We are

Bloc Party – So Here We are

Their new album is marvelous, but I wanted this from their former album to be the first on this blog.

Info

I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten
So here we are again
I made a vow, to carry you home… home

I really tried to do what you wanted
It all went wrong again

I made a vow, to carry you home
If you fall sick, if you pass out

I figured it out, I can see again

Liquido – Narcotic

Text :

So you face it with a smile
There is no need to cry
For a trifle’s more than this

Will you still recall my name
And the month it all began
Will you release me with a kiss

Have I tried to draw the veil
If I have – how could I fail?
Did I fear the consequence

… dazed by carelss words
Cosy in my mind

Chorus: I don’t mind
I think so
I will let you go

Now you shaped that liquid wax
Fit it out with crater cracks
Sweet devotion- my delight

Oh, you’re such a pretty one
And the naked thrills of flesh and skin
Would tease me through the night
“Now i hate to leave you bare
If you need me I’ll be there
Don’t you ever let me down”

..dazed by careless words
Cosy in my mind

Chorus

And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from lazed Mary-Jane

And I called your name
Like an addicted to cocaine calls for the stuff he’d rather blame

And I touched your face
Narcotic mind from lazed Mary-Jane

And I called your name
My cocain

Chorus

INXS – Need You Tonight & Mediate

INXS – Need You Tonight & Mediate

From the Album Kick. 1987.

Text:

Need you tonight

Come over here

All you got is this moment
The twenty-first century’s yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does yeah that’s okay

So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I’ve got to let you know
I’ve got to let you know
You’re one of my kind

I need you tonight
‘Cause I’m not sleeping
There’s something about you girl
That makes me sweat

How do you feel
I’m lonely
What do you think
Can’t take it all
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna live my lifeback to top

Mediate
Hallucinate
Dessegregate
Mediate
Alleviate
Try not to hate

Love your mate
Don’t suffocate on your own hate
Designate your love as fate
A one world state
As human freight
The number eight
A white black state
A gentle trait
The broken crate
A heavy weight
Or just too late
Like pretty Kate has sex ornate
Now devastate
Appreciate
Depreciate
Fabricate
Emulate
The truth dilate
Special date
The animal we ate
Guilt debate
The edge serrate
A better rate
The youth irate
Deliberate

Fascinate
Deviate
Reinstate
Liberate
To moderate
Recreate
Or detonate
Annihiliate
Atomic fate

Mediate
Clear the state
Activate
Now radiate
A perfect state
Food on plate
Gravitate
The Earth’s own weight
Designate your love as fate
At ninety-eight we all rotate

Hallucinate
Dessegregate
Mediate
Alleviate
Try not to hate

Love your mate
Don’t suffocate on your own hate
Designate your love as fate
A one world state
As human freight
The number eight
A white black state
A gentle trait
The broken crate

A heavy weight
Or just too late
Like pretty Kate has sex ornate

Now devastate
Appreciate
Depreciate
Fabricate
Emulate
The truth dilate
Special date
The animals we ate
Guilt debate
The edge serrate
A better rate
The youth irate
Deliberate
Fascinate
Deviate
Reinstate

Liberate
Liberate
Liberate
Liberate

She’ll only come out at night
The lean and hungry type
Nothing is new, I’ve seen her here before
Watching and waiting
She’s sitting with you but her eyes are on the door
So many have paid to see
What you think you’re getting for free
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
Money’s the matter
If you’re in it for love you ain’t gonna get too far

Oh here she comes
Watch out boy she’ll chew you up
Oh here she comes
She’s a maneater
Oh here she comes
Watch out boy she’ll chew you up
Oh here she comes
She’s a maneater

I wouldn’t if I were you
I know what she can do
She’s deadly man, and she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter
The beauty is there but a beast is in the heart

Oh here she comes
Watch out boy she’ll chew you up
Oh here she comes
She’s a maneater

Starsailor – Four To The Floor

Starsailor – Four To The Floor

Info

With hand on heart your right from the start,
You taught me to take my part.
No cross to bear, no reason to care, my life was all up in air,
Four to the floor, I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all, whenever you are near.

The iron hand did not understand the plight of the common man.
Four to the floor I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all whenever you are near.
Four to the floor I was sure, that you would be my girl,
We’d rent a little world, have a little girl.
Four to the floor I was sure, never seeing clear,
I could have it all if only you were here.
Four to the floor I was sure that you would be my girl,
We’d rent a little world, have a little girl.
Four to the floor I was sure never seeing clear,
I could have it all whenever you are near.

Art Garfunkel – Bright Eyes

Art Garfunkel – Bright Eyes

It has been a long while since I’ve heard this one, but this morning it was on Studio Brussel, a Belgian Radio channel.

Text here:

Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?

There’s a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky.
And nobody seems to know where you go.
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?

Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen?
Or is it a dream?

There’s a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air.
And nobody ever knows when you go.
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark?

Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

Is it so hard to satisfy your senses
You found out to love me you have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right you say you found someone else to hold you
Does she like i do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

Can I survive all the implications
Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction
Don’t you think I know there’s so many others
Who would beg steal and lie fight kill and die
Just to hold you hold you like I do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody wants you like the way I do
Nobody needs you like the way I do
Nobody aches nobody aches just to hold you
Like the way I do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do
