The Lyric Chain

[beagle]

I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
All right!

Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.

Credence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising

[pieces o nine]

She's taking her time making up
The reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smile
And the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the
Bitter one
They're saying, "mamma never loved
Her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from
Human affection."
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right
Kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
Shes saying

Chorus

"I would fly to the moon and back if
You'll be
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we
Belong
So would you be my baby."

She can't remember a time when she
Felt needed
If love was red then she was colour
Blind
All her friends they've been tried for
Treason
And crimes that were never defined
She's saying, "love is like a barren
Place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a
Map for."
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging
All her hopes on the stars
What a pleasant dream
Just saying

Chorus

Hold on hold on

Mamma never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from
Human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right
Kind of pilot to come
And she'll say to him
Just saying


Savage Garden, To the Moon and Back

[Swatopluk]

Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal.
Chart and compass come from Thee;
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

While th'Apostles' fragile bark
Struggled with the billows dark,
On the stormy Galilee,
Thou didst walk upon the sea;
And when they beheld Thy form,
Safe they glided through the storm.

Though the sea be smooth and bright,
Sparkling with the stars of night,
And my ship's path be ablaze
With the light of halcyon days,
Still I know my need of Thee;
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

When the darkling heavens frown,
And the wrathful winds come down,
And the fierce waves, tossed on high,
Lash themselves against the sky,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me,
Over life's tempestuous sea.

As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obey Thy will,
When Thou sayest to them, "Be still!"
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me,
"Fear not, I will pilot thee."

For a moment I was confused: Barking Apostles?

[beagle]

Adrift again 2000 man
You lost your maps,
You lost the plans
Did you hear them yell,
Land damn it land?
You say you can't
Well I hope you can
I hope you can

How's it goin 2000 man?
Welcome back to solid ground my friend
I heard all your controls were jammed
Well it's just nice to have you back again

But I guess they still don't understand
And they can never understand
And they said go find 2000 man
And they said tell him we've got new plans
But instead I'm here to tell you friend

I believe they want you to give in
Are you giving in 2000 man?
(Did you love this world
And did this world not love you?)

Are you giving in 2000 man?
Don't give in 2000 man

Reinhard Mey: MEY ENGLISH SONG

I think that I make something wrong,
I once must make an English song,
'cause in my radio every day
I hear them English music play,
and all the radio people stand
on songs they cannot understand!
So I sing English now,
that's really animally strong!
And you can hear my English song all day long
out your loudspeaker at home or riding in your car,
all over this our land, wherever you are,
from Bee-Are-Three to the Double-U-Dee-Are!
Oh baby, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh babe!
A poor little sausage was I
when I in German sang, oh my!
I could not English, but quite cool
I learned it at the Folks High School!
Now my producer says me "Well,
what do we now for records sell!"
So I sing English now,
that's really animally strong!
And you can hear my English song all day long
out your loudspeaker at home or riding in your car,
all over this our land, wherever you are,
from Bee-Are-Three to the Double-U-Dee-Are!
Oh baby-baby-baby-baby, oh yeah, oh baby, oh yeah!
You reach the German music freak
now only if you can English speak!
And if you will a song outbring,
you better should it English sing!
And people flip out, say I you, my friend,
even if they only railroad station understand!
So I sing English now,
that's really animally strong!
And you can hear my English song all day long
out your loudspeaker at home or riding in your car,
all over this our land, wherever you are,
from the Ess-Eff-Bee to the Double-U-Dee-Are!
And you can even me
on Tee-Vee see!
Sometimes at Zed-Dee-Eff,
sometimes at Ay-Are-Dee.
Oh baby, oh yeah!
Oh baby-baby-baby-baby, oh yeah, oh baby, oh yeah!

Hint: this is even more fun, if one knows German (otherwise this just looks like bad English)

(Liked the "Folks high school". Went in the "folks car" I assume. And the verbs at the end of the sentences. If that song doesn't win Eurovision there's no justice...)


One of us is ugly, one of us is cute
One of us you'd like to see in her birthday suit
Two of us write music, two of we have song
Sorry in translation, that line comed out wrong

But still super duper, super duper
That we're number one again
Singing super duper duper
Makes a super duper refrain

We believe that if you have three tunes in a song
And a showbiz cliché nothing can go wrong
The world is just a great big stage
Each man plays his part
In this concrete jungle
The sleeve is on the heart

On the beaches we'll go swimming in the nude
Oh, how I wish now and then that we could say something rude
Breast and bottom, tongue and inner thigh
Heaving bellies comed up from behind

But still super duper
It's more super duper than we would have thought
With this super duper duper
Make it super duper short

I was first looking for a song version of Churchill's speech ("We will fight them on the beaches...") but was not successful (actually to lazy to check all links)

[beagle]

(Nice. They don't write proper songs like that with a theme and insightful lyrics you can empathize with any more.  It's all rap now.
I was tempted to reply with the Sex Pistols immortal "friggin in the riggin", but thought better of it. Not much left after bleeperisation, so I'll leave looking it up as an exercise for the reader).


Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time

Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can't get my poor old self together
I'm weary all the time, the time
So weary all of the time

When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time
Keeps raining all of the time

I walk around,
Heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around
And I'm still feeling bad
Rain pourin' down
Blinding every hope I had
This pitter 'n patter 'n beatin' 'n spatterin' drivin' me mad

Love, love, love, love
This misery will be the end of me

When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray
The lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Can't go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all the time, the time
Keeps raining all the time

Ella Fitzgerald - Stormy Weather


P.S. At least one Supertramp song sampled Churchill's speeches. Forget which song and speech though...

[Swatopluk]

Everytime the rain comes down
Close my eyes and listen
I can hear the lonesome sound
Of THE sky as it cries

Listen to the rain
Here it comes again
Hear it in the rain

Feel the touch of tears that fall
They won't fall forever
In the way the day will flow
All things come, all things go

Listen to the rain... the rain
Here it comes again... again
Hear it in the rain... the rain

Late at night I drift away
I can hear you calling
And my name is in the rain
Leaves on trees whispering
Deep blue seas, mysteries

Even when this moment ends
Can't let go this feeling
Everything will come on again
In the sound falling down
Of the sky as it cries
Hear my name in the rain

[beagle]

You promised me green grass, not to tell what you 'eard
Whispering grass, say you can't keep your word
Keep your word, sing Lofty

Why do you whisper, green grass
Why tell the trees what ain't so
Whispering grass, the trees don't have to know, no, no

Why tell them all your secrets
Who kissed there long ago
Whispering grass, the trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the breeze
Or she will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Yes, you told them once before
It's no secret anymore

Why tell them all the old things
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'cause the trees don't need to know

Don't you tell it to the breeze
Coz she will tell the birds and bees
And everyone will know
Because you told the blabbering trees
Oh yes, you told them once before
And It is no secret anymore
I will not have gossip in this jungle

Why tell them all the old things
They're buried under the snow
Whispering grass, don't tell the trees
'cause the trees don't need to know

Davies/Estelle - Whispering Grass

[Swatopluk]

Just a little rain falling all around,
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound,
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain?

Just a little boy standing in the rain,
The gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone,
The boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears,
And what have they done to the rain?

Just a little breeze out of the sky,
The leaves pat their hands as the breeze blows by,
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye,
What have they done to the rain?
Just a little boy standing in the rain,
The gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone,
The boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears,
And what have they done to the rain?

[beagle]

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you

That was ++++ NTNOCN.  But....is ordering the Mama Mia DVD with my groceries a sin ?


I remember you
You're the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago

I remember you
You're the one who said I love you too
Yes I do, didn'tcha know

I remember, too a distant bell and stars that fell
Like the rain out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I will tell them I remember you

I remember too, a distant bell and stars that fell
Just like the rain out of the blue
When my life is through
And the angels ask me to recall
The thrill of them all
Then I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember
Tell them I remember you

[Sibling Chatty]

Seems like the other day
My baby went away
He went away 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since I saw my baby go
And then, this letter came for me
It said that we were through
He found somebody new
Oh, let me think, let me think, what can I do?

Oh no
Oh no
Oh no no no no no

(Remember) Walking in the sand
(Remember) Walking hand in hand
(Remember) The night was so exciting
(Remember) Smile was so inviting
(Remember) Then, he touched my cheek
(Remember) With his fingertips
Softly, softly, we'd meet with our lips

Whatever happened to
The boy that I once knew?
The boy who said he'd be true
Oh, what will happen to
The life I gave to you?
What will I do with it now?

(Remember) Walking in the sand
(Remember) Walking hand in hand
(Remember) The night was so exciting
(Remember) Smile was so inviting
(Remember) Then, he touched my cheek
(Remember) With his fingertips
(Remember) Softly
(fade out)

(Evolution)

Evolution is a mystery
Full of change that no one sees
Clock makes a fool of history
Yesterday's so long ago, don't agree with what I know.
Tomorrow becomes a place to be.

I see the line in the sand
Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I stand
Evolution
Evolution

See my reflection change
Nothing ever stays the same
But you know the names The Game
We all know what it means
Nothings ever what it seems
Unforgiven, unforseen

I see the line in the sand
Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I stand
Evolution
Evolution

Take it back home...
