The Lyric Chain

[Griffin NoName]

Start spreading the news, Im leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep
And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
Ill make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere
Its up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find Im a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
Im gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york

New york


New York, New York = Frank Sinatra

This Little Light Of Mine

Refrain:
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

The light that shines is the light of love,
Lights the darkness from above
It shines on me and it shines on you
And shows what the power of love can do

I'm gonna shine my light both far and near
I'm gonna shine my light both bright and clear
Where there's a dark corner in this land,
I'm gonna let my little light shine.

Refrain
This little light of mine...

On Monday He gave me the gift of love
Tuesday peace came from above
On Wednesday He told me to have more faith
On Thursday He gave me a little more grace

Friday He told me just to watch and pray
Saturday He told me just just-ta what to say
On Sunday He gave me the power divine

To let my little light shine

Refrain
This little light of mine...

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

From a little light of love
I was born and in my cry, my cry
Was a little light of love
For the honoring of life
And the pharons of my soul
Is this light of love
Precious little light of love

There's a candle burning on
In the breezy shades of night
I keep up my faith and underset my hope
To call the realm of light

A treasure
Your shiver
In the middle of the shady desert
Brings on a field of light
In a light of love
Fairy light of love

Only one religion
Will lead us to the love we aim for
Over the dark illusions
Of the warring nations

And when the figure leads to power
The destruction glorified higher
And when the war is nearly over
How come the leader's held in highest honors

Would you die
For their lie
The greedy hunting cry

You rely
On your light
Little loving light

A little light of sole religion
Well a little light of love
A little light of soaring freedom
Just a little light of love
A little light of sole religion
Take this little light of love
A little light of love and freedom
Take me
A little light of soul religion
A little light of love and freedom

Little light of love - Eric Serra

'Rest your sweet weary head

Night falls; you are come to journey's end

Sleep now, and dream of folk who came

Across a distant shore they call

Why do you weep? What are these tears on your face?

You will see all your fears will pass away

Protected in my arms, you sleep



What can you see on the horizon?

Why do the white gulls cry?

The pale moon rises across the Sea

The ships are come to carry you home

Like silver glass everything will seem

A light on the water all souls cross



Hope fades to the world of night

Through shadows falling out of memory and time

Don't say we are come now to the end

White shores call, we will meet again

You will rest here in my arms, sleeping



What can you see on the earth's border?

Why do the white gulls cry?

The pale moon rises across the Sea

The ships are come to carry you home

Like silver glass everything will seem

A light on the water, grey ships depart

To the West.'

Fran Walsh, Howard Shore, Annie Lennox

[beagle]

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky, smoke on the water

They burned down the gamblin' house,
It died with an awful sound
and Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky, smoke on the water

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky ,smoke on the water

Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water

[Swatopluk]

We got to get out
She's running out of tears
They're still marked with my name
Fearless etching deeper in my brain
I'm not telling you the truth
IT'S NOT A HOAX!
You're hiding information
Could be important for moving on
A conversation 1000 miles away
P-p-please be strong

A thing of human feeling is
A fascination forever
You placed your hand into mine and said
Yeah could you...
Could you fuck me right away?

We got to move on
She's running out of reasons
And time is running out
A broken heart and tears is not the only way
We're gonna drive, drive, drive away
This is just a start
And I'll come back for you

A thing of human feeling is
A fascination forever
You placed your hand into mine and said
Yeah could you...
Could you fuck me right away?

There are no red lights
Drive like a jehu
You'll be there in no time
We made a new promise... Right?
It's time to decide if you're with me or not
Come on, trust me, let's go!

A thing of human feeling is
A fascination forever
You placed your hand into mine and said
Yeah could you...
Could you fuck me right away?

Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley add nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Thumbing out the candles
All other mammals must eat their oats.
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing small pox

Ian Dury - Reasons to be Cheerful,Part 3

[Swatopluk]

Girl, just take some time
Let me try to find the words I wanna say to you
I been searchin' my mind
I got to find the reasons I feel the way I do
Let me emphasize that I recognize
What I should and should not do
And though I know it's wrong
Every now and then I phone
Just to talk to you

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose

Sometimes you cross my mind
And I don't know why
But I hear from you
And though I want to stay close
I realize the most we'll ever be is good friends
I got kids at home
I can't leave them alone
This I'm telling you
I've got another life
Cause I still love my wife
Though I still want you

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose
Even when you trust your heart

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose

Sometimes love
Has no rhyme, and no reason
Even if we try to be cool
At the strangest times
Love can make a connection
If you trust your heart to choose

I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall
I know he's there, but I just had to call
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
I heard your mother now she's going out the door
Did she go to work or just go to the store
All those things she said, I told you to ignore
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Oh why can't we talk again
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

It's good to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
If I don't get your call then everything goes wrong
I want to tell you something you've known all along
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

I had to interrupt and stop this conversation
Your voice across the line gives me a strange sensation
I'd like to talk when I can show you my affection
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Oh I can't control myself
Don't leave me hanging on the telephone

Hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah, hang up and run to me
Whoah oh oh oh run to me

Blondie - Hanging on the Telephone

[Swatopluk]

Telephone Blues
I couldn't sleep last night
I was sittin' by my telephone
All the time wastin'
All the love you've never shown
But someday, someday darlin'
You will realise I'm alone
The last time I saw you,
You promised me you'd come
But time is runnin' out babe
You never call at all
But life's so long babe
Sittin' by my telephone
But someday, someday darlin'
You will realise I'm alone

Eric Clapton - Telephone Blues

[beagle]

Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room
I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume
Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be
Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night

The room was empty as I staggered from my bed
I could not bear the image racing through my head
You were so real that I could feel your eagerness
And when you raised your lips for me to kiss
Came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone

I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night


Oh, too much to dream
Oh, too much to dream
Too much to dream last night
Oh, too much to dream


The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much Too Dream Last Night

[Swatopluk]

Last Night I Had The Strangest Dream
words and music by Ed McCurdy

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the paper was all signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful pray'rs were prayed

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
While swords and guns and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I'd never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

So she passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for her on the other side.

John Bunyan - The Pilgrim's Progress.

[Swatopluk]

The radiant morn hath passed away,
And spent too soon her golden store;
The shadows of departing day
Creep on once more.

Our life is but an autumn sun,
Its glorious noon how quickly past!
Lead us, O Christ, our life work done,
Safe home at last.

O by Thy soul inspiring grace
Uplift our hearts to realms on high;
Help us to look to that bright place
Beyond the sky.

Where light, and life, and joy, and peace
In undivided empire reign,
And thronging angels never cease
Their deathless strain.

Where saints are clothed in spotless white,
And evening shadows never fall;
Where Thou, eternal Light of light,
Art Lord of all.

Godf­rey Thring, 1864:

At first I read morn as mom and that seemed especially fitting.

[Aggie]

There's a land that I have heard about
So far across the sea (repeat)
To have you all, my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me (repeat)

We'll get our breakfast from the tree
We'll get our honey from the bees
We'll take a ride on the waterfalls
And all the glories, we'll have them all

And we'll live together on that dreamland
And have so much fun (repeat)

Oh, what a time that will be
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We'll count the stars up in the sky...
...And surely we'll never die
