So, what song lyrics are running through your head?


Recommended Posts

That song "Hallelujah" I finally looked up the lyrics, because I'd never really listened to them and then had to look of the meaning of the lyrics, then had to look up about the guy who wrote the song, then I youtubed the various people who have preformed the song.

 

Just do not think of Sam Davis Jr sing the Candy Man or it will be stuck in your head for a good long while.

 

Oh the Candy Man can cause he mixes it with love and make the world go round.

This one has been going through my head non-stop all day yesterday and today:

 

There's no place where You're not there,

I'll never drift from Your love and care,

There's not a thing about me that You don't know.

 

The wings of the morning will take me to You,

The blackness of night Your light will shine through,

You're already there no matter where I may go.

 

Even before I came to be

Your loving eyes were looking at me

You're even closer, closer than the breath I take.

Mother and father, more than a friend to me,

Beginning and ending and living of life to me,

The song I find myself singing when I awake.

 

So I will praise You,

Lord I Praise You.

Now, I praise You

For bearing me up and giving me wings,

For lifting my sights to heavenly things,

For being the song I can't help but sing:

Praise You.

 

Look at me Lord, I'm open to you,

Do anything that You want me to.

You know me even better than I know myself.

 

I'll be not afraid of what You can see

'Cause You know the person inside of me,

I won't even try to hide what You know so well.

 

Lord You've forgiven me for my mistakes,

I want to be Yours whatever it takes,

I've learned that life without You is no life at all.

Failures and talents and schemes I bring to You,

Aspirations and dreams I sing to You,

I'll just be here waiting whenever you call.

 

So I will praise You,

Lord I Praise You.

Now, I praise You

For bearing me up and giving me wings,

For lifting my sights to heavenly things,

For being the song I can't help but sing:

Praise You.

 

I think this was written by Lanny Wolfe, but not sure. I have it on an album sung by Christine Wyrtzen; just not sure who to give credit to for these lyrics.

Finnegan's Wake... DD the Elder is practicing her tin whistle.

 

Mickey Maloney ducked his head when a bucket of whiskey flew at him

It missed, and falling on the bed, the liquor scattered over Tim

Bedad he revives, see how he rises, Timothy rising from the bed

Saying "Whittle your whiskey around like blazes, t'underin' Jaysus, do ye think I'm dead?"

Telegrams to Mars by Little & Ashley

 

Do do...do do do do...

 

Driving, singing on the highway

Starin' at the skyline

Floating in space

 

Hey there, scoot a little closer

What's your favorite color?

Posies in May

 

So lovely on my pillow

Spinning webs with rainbows

Sending telegrams to Mars

 

Sunday, drinkin' coffee at the bookshop

Sirens out the window

Could be a chase

 

So lovely on my pillow

Spinning webs with rainbows

Sending telegrams to Mars

 

Honey, the way you look at me is funny

Not so much peculiar

But funny, haha

 

So lovely on my pillow

Spinning webs with rainbows

Sending telegrams to Mars (x2)

The allegro in D major -- you know, the one that starts doo, doo-doo DOO doo-doo-doo DOO bum-bum-bum da da-da-da-da da da DAAA .... :001_smile: eeeeeek! :willy_nilly:

 

off to play the piano ... maybe that will help get it out of my head ...

The hills are alive with the sound of music

With songs they have sung for a thousand years

The hills fill my heart with the sound of music

My heart wants to sing every song it hears...

 

This is in my head all day, every day!:glare: My fil has a cuckoo clock that plays that tune, so I find myself singing it without even being aware of it.

Right now, U2's Pride:

 

One man come in the name of love

One man come and go

One come he to justify

One man to overthrow

 

In the name of love

What more in the name of love

In the name of love

What more in the name of love....

 

And so on....

 

It's one of ds's guitar practice songs right now. :)

There lived a certain man in Russia long ago

He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow

Most people looked at him with terror and with fear

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

He could preach the bible like a preacher

Full of ecstacy and fire

But he also was the kind of teacher

Women would desire

 

RA RA RASPUTIN

Lover of the Russian queen

There was a cat that really was gone

RA RA RASPUTIN

Russia's greatest love machine

It was a shame how he carried on

Fire and Rain by James Taylor. I've been thinking about old (80s) movies lately, and this one was in a scene that I really loved from the movie Running in Empty.

 

I've seen fire and I've seen rain

I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end

I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend

But I always thought that I'd see you again

 

That, and Better Together by Jack Johnson.

 

 

Love is the answer

At least for most of the questions in my heart ,

Like why are we here? And where do we go?

And how come it's so hard?

It's not always easy,

And sometimes life can be deceiving,

I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

 

I can't get either out my head. Must be in some sort of philosophical mood!
