Speak in Lyrics
It doesn't matter what you do
And hey, it doesn't matter what you say... Just say it in lyrics. Otherwise known as the lyrical appreciation thread. |

Fill my cup again
To the fucking rim As good as it gets: I want the sunshine, champagne all the time I'll live on Wine and Roses, so hold me closer If I don't break a sweat, It ain't as good as it gets. |

Every story, tale or memoir
Every saga or romance Whether true or fabricated Whether planned or happenstance Whether sweeping through the ages Casting centuries aside Or a hurried brief recital Just a thirty-minute ride Whether bright or melancholy Rough and ready, finely spun Whether with a thousand players Or a lonely cast of one Every story, new or ancient Bagatelle or work of art All are tales of human failing All are tales of love.

--Sara Bareilles' "Love Song"
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while The breathing gets harder, even I know that You made room for me, but it's too soon to see If I'm happy in your hands I'm unusually hard to hold on to Blank stares at blank pages No easy way to say this You mean well, but you make this hard on me I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you asked for it 'Cause you need one, you see I'm not gonna write you a love song 'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this If you're on your way I'm not gonna write you to stay If all you have is leaving I'mma need a better reason to write you a love song today

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dancing But I I love it when you read to me And you You can read me anything The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it is just transcendental Some of it is just really dumb But I I love it when you sing to me And you You can sing me anything The book of love is long and boring And written very long ago It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes And things we're all too young to know But I I love it when you give me things And you You ought to give me wedding rings

"Book of Love"--Fleetwood Mac
Walked out, goodbye
I swore I never would cry Tore a page of my heart She wants me to be her friend I'm lonely again Tore a page of my heart Oh, tell me who wrote the book of love Was it somebody from above (Ha, ha, ha) Surely he must know all the rules (Ha, ha, ha) Knowledge not meant for mortal fools Must have been someone from above Tell me, who wrote the book of love

you are a book for me to read
line after line I read on and on you are a film for me to see a string of frames that just goes on and on and on and of all the places that I've been name after name, it just goes on and on you are a song for me to sing a string of verses that goes on and on and on |

Drops of Jupiter
She acts like summer and walks like rain Reminds me that there's a time to change, Since the return from her stay on the moon She listens like spring and she talks like June. . . Now that she's back from that soul vacation Tracing her way through the constellation, She checks out Mozart while she does Tae-Bo, Reminds me that there's room to grow. . . But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day And head back to the Milky Way? And tell me, did Venus blow your mind? Was it everything you wanted to find? Well, then you missed me while you were looking for yourself out there. Can you imagine: No love, pride, deep-fried chicken Your best friend always sticking up for you Even when I know you're wrong? Can you imagine: No first dance, freeze-dried romance Five-hour phone conversation The best soy latte that you ever had, and me?

"The Greatest Love of All"
I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be Everybody searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone to fulfill my needs A lonely place to be So I learned to depend on me I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin’ for the phone ‘cause I can’t fight it anymore And I wonder if I ever cross your mind For me it happens all the time It’s a quarter after one I’m all alone And I need you now Said I wouldn’t call But I’ve lost all control And I need you now And I don’t know how I can do without I just need you now Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door Wishing you’d come sweeping in the way you did before And I wonder if I ever cross your mind For me it happens all the time It’s a quarter after one I’m a little drunk And I need you now Said I wouldn’t call But I’ve lost all control And I need you now And I don’t know how I can do without I just need you now Yes I’d rather hurt than feel nothing at all It’s a quarter after one I’m all alone And I need you now And I said I wouldn’t call, But I’m a little drunk And I need you now And I don’t know how I can do without I just need you now I just need you now Oh baby I need you now |

Would you like the chance to shatter heaven?
Would you like to be the one who pulls the sky down just for me? Round and round and round we run, And pretend the sun is all you need I’ve never known a moment to be frozen You’re making deals with minutes that will slip away, just slip away So starve the garden, stop the rain- Winter settles on my petals anyway, anyways. Is your armor thin again Do I want to wear it down? Am I worthy to come in? Do you want to be found? Nothing into something into nothing Every rule you break means there’s no turning back, no looking back. The words that I could never say - The clutter that is in your way is nothing new. . .

Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue, Followed him up to the gates of Graceland Then I watched him walk right through. Now security, they did not see him; They just hovered 'round his tomb, But there's a pretty little thing Waiting for The King Down in the Jungle Room. . . Now Muriel plays piano Every Friday at The Hollywood And they brought me down to see her And they asked me if I would Do a little number. And I sang with all my might, And she said, "Tell me, are you a Christian, child?" And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight."

Come to me
Run to me Do and be done with me Cold Cold Cold Don't I exist for you Don't I still live for you Cold cold cold Everything I possess Given with tenderness Wrapped in a ribbon of glass Time it may take us but God only knows How I've paid for those things in the past Dying is easy it's living that scares me to death I could be so content hearing the sound of your breath Cold is the color of crystal the snowlight That falls from the heavenly skies Catch me and let me dive under under For I want to swim in the pools of your eyes |

So I loved you for your courage, and your gentle sense of shame And I loved you for your laughter and your language and your name And I knew it was impossible, but I loved you just the same Though the only love I gave to you was hard love It was hard love, it was hard on you, I know When the only love I gave to you was love I couldn't show You forgave the heart that loved you as your lover turned to go Leaving nothing but the memory of hard love So I'm standing in this phone booth with a dollar and a dime Wondering what to say to you to ease your troubled mind For the Lord's cross might redeem us, but our own just wastes our time And to tell the two apart is always hard, love So I'll tell you that I love you even though I'm far away And I'll tell you how you change me as I live from day to day How you help me to accept myself and I won't forget to say Love is never wasted, even when it's hard love Yes, it's hard love, but it's love all the same Not the stuff of fantasy, but more than just a game And the only kind of miracle that's worthy of the name For the love that heals our lives is mostly hard love

Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
Moonlight spills on comic books And superstars in magazines An old friend calls and tells us where to meet Her plane takes off from Baltimore And touches down on Bourbon street We sit outside and argue all night long About a god we've never seen But never fails to side with me Sunday comes and all the papers say Ma Teresa's joined the mob And happy with her full time job Am I alive or thoughts that drift away? Does summer come for everyone? Can humans do what prophets say? If I die before I learn to speak Can money pay for all the days I lived awake But half asleep? A life is time, they teach you growing up The seconds ticking killed us all A million years before the fall You ride the waves and don't ask where they go You swim like lions through the crest And bathe yourself in zebra flesh I've been downhearted baby Ever since the day we met |

I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote
I found a preacher who spoke of the light But there was brimstone in his throat. He'd show me the way, according to him, In return for my personal check I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette. I take my chances, Yeah, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt.

They say there's a place for those who are good
With it's pearly gates swinging wide open The rest of us here are just knocking on wood Quietly, piously hoping I could wonder if all of it led me to you I could show you the arrows and circles I drew I didn't have a map, it's the best I could do On the fly and on the run To dreams that were tethered like kites to the ground To the bridges I burned, to then turning around It was here in your heart I was finally found And the last battle won for Elysium |

Is it too much to demand
I want a full house and a rock and roll band Pens that won't run out of ink And cool quiet and time to think Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have this Shouldn't I have all of this, and Passionate kisses Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh Passionate kisses from you
