Lyrically Speaking # 3

[Phalon]

from "Schism" by Tool

I know the pieces fit cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

next word: juxtaposed

HA! Just kidding.

next word: reach

[stepper]

Juxtapozed With U - Super Furry Animals

Let's get juxtaposed, juxtaposed
Just suppose I juxtapose with you

Fortunate Son ~ John Fogerty

Some folks are born to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,
Yeah!

next word: flag

Me and Bobby McGee ~ Janis Joplin

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

next word: diesel

And ride a pack of dogs.

[Phalon]

[Phalon]

from "The Unforgiven" by Metallica

Decades spent in strife

Someone to Watch Over Me ~ the Gershwins (sung by Ella Fitzgerald among many)

She Said, He Heard Lyrics ~ Suzy Bogguss

...She said "I'm mad"
He heard "I'm leaving"
She said "I need your attention"
He heard "I want you to crawl"
She said "I'm sad"
He heard "It's all your fault"
There is no translation
Emotions don't fit into words
There's so much between what she
And what he heard

Then he started smiling
And she started laughing
They both reached out their hands
She said "I think we're from two different planets
No wonder we misunderstand"

next word: fault

[Phalon]

The Best Of My Love - Eagles

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd
Was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh sweet darlin' you get the best of my love, oh
Sweet darlin', you get the best of my love

Next: Sweet

[Phalon]

Keep holding on when my brain's ticking like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have come again to get me
Sweet, bitter words unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird, you don't affect me
