Why don't you...Find another (find another)Find another fool to love youFind another (find another)Find another fool to love youFind another...find another...find another fool...to love youTo love you...find another..... I don't believe that I deserve this rideYou took me for my very heart and prideYou let me down...and now your hand is outWell, here's some...spare change...you can count Why don't you...Find another (find another)Find another fool to love youFind another (find another)Find another fool to love youFind another...find another...find another fool...to love youTo love you...find another..... You pulled this once...you pulled it twiceIt's time you listened to my advice....oh, baby I'd never take advantage of our loveI can't imagine what you're thinkin' ofYou're over due...you think this storm is through..Well, baby, I've got news for you Why don't you...Find another (find another)Find another fool to love youFind another (find another)Find another fool to love youFind another...find another...find another fool...to love youTo love you...find another.....

death tribble Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Right I now have a list for all the songs from 2016 which goes from page 1 to page 73 inclusive and finishes at the start of page 74. There are 33 pages of unique entries and 2 pages of duplicates and entries that cannot be identified on the internet. I will ask those who posted the lyrics which cannot be identified to give me the details once I have done all the other years. No other year had that many pages. Once I have completed it all I will post it here. I have never heard of Tony Banks, Jimmy Buffet, Jonathan Coulton and Quarterflash. There are only a couple of tracks by Kansas, Toto and C W McCall which made radio play in Britain whereas I don't expect Americans to know Mud, Slade and T Rex for example. The Following are the Rush songs currently in the Lyrics thread that were posted in 2016. This is for Cygnia's benefit as the band were important to her in her younger years. And they are still important to hr now. 2112 A Farewell to Kings Anagram Anthem Available Light Bastille Day Different Strings Dreamline Earthshine Freewill The Garden Ghost of a Chance Jacob's Ladder Roll with the Bones Neurotica Nobody's Hero Scars Tears The Twilight Zone Working Man You Bet Your Life I would also like to publicly record my tanks to Greywind for posting particular entries from all ages of music which should have a wide audience. And Pariah for starting this in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Standing in your doorwayNothing much to seeRemember conversationsBetween you and meForgot about the feelingForgot about the painForgot about the hopeful nightsCalling againJust a victim of the moment-Nobody's fault, nobody fooledAh, it's funny how things seem to slip awayFrom me and you...so I keep going From eye to eyeFace to faceMoving oh so fastNever getting any placeI keep goingEye to eyeAnd face to faceWill I ever find you, will I ever find you? Looking in a windowNothing much to doAlmost feeling humbleNeeding youMost of my embracesDon't hold on so tightBut after all, if I don't tryWhat will feel right?Yes, it has to make me wonder-I'm so alone and yet so freeAh, it's funny how things seem to slip awayFrom you and me - still I keep going From eye to eyeFace to faceMoving oh so fastNever getting any placeI keep goingEye to eyeAnd face to faceWill I ever find you, will I ever find you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 All this frustration I can’t meet all my desires Strange conversation Self-control has just expired All an illusion Only in my head you don’t exist Who are you fooling Don’t need a shrink but an exorcist Show me the movie Of who you are and where you’re from Born of frustration Caught up in the webs you’ve spun Where’s the confusion A vision of what life is like Show me the movie That doesn’t deal in black and white Stop stop talking about who’s to blame When all that counts is how to change All this frustration All this frustration Who put brown owl eyes on the butterfly’s wings All this frustration All this frustration Who gave the leopards spots and taught the birds to sing Born of frustration Born of frustration I’m living in the weirdest dream Where nothing is the way it seems Where no one’s who they need to be Where nothing seems that real to me How can we build our lives upon No wall of stone, no solid ground The world is spinning endlessly We’re clinging to our own beliefs Born of frustration Born of frustration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Little does she know that I know that she knows That I know she's two timing me. Little does she know that I know that she knows That I know she's cheating on me. I was outside the one stop, Ahen I saw her in the coin-op, And I didn't like what I see. Little does she know that I know that she knows That I know she's two timing me . She was sharing her spin dry with a guy in a tie-dye, hen she saw my reflection in the chrome. I knew that she'd seen me, 'cos she dropped her bikini, The one that I got her in Rome. Little does she know that I know that she knows That I know she's two timing me. Little does she know that I know that she knows That I know she's cheating on me. When she finished her laundry, She was all in a quandary, and made for the street like a hare. Her escape was so urgent, she forgot her detergent, And dropped all her clean underwear Little does she know that I know that she knows That I know she's cheating on me.

Greywind Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I was thinking about her, visiting the pastReconstructing details with old photographsI was studying the faces with an objective point of viewSuddenly remembering doesn't haunt meI'll follow the sunAnd now the time has come, and so, my love, I must goAnd though I lose a friend, in the end you will know ohOne day you'll find that I have goneBut tomorrow might rain so I'll follow the sunAll the time you couldn't tell me that one day I'd be gladThat something that I thought was love was misinterpretedBut they were doing me a favor, a blessing in disguiseIf she would've been faithful, if she could have been trueThen I would've been cheated, I would never know real loveI would've missed out on youI watch you sleeping, your body touching meThere's no doubt about it, this is where I want to beYou know it's so ironic, I had to lose to winI want to thank her, if she would've been faithfulIf she could have been trueThen I would've been cheated, I would never know real loveI would've missed out on youIt's a paradox full of contradiction, how I got from there to hereIt defies a logical explanationIf she would've been faithful, if she could have been trueThen I would've been cheated, I would never know real loveI would've missed out on youIf she would've been faithful, if she could have been trueThen I would've been cheated, I would never know real loveI would've missed out on you Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I can see reflections Drifting into space Always through a mirror Never face to face I ask another question The words disintegrate The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here but you're not really there Blinding bright projections Crash against the wall I can't get your attention No matter how loudly I call Reaching for connection To break the silent stare The absence of presence fills the air I know you're here but you're not really there Imagine we broke through The noise of our creation And found the missing pieces This moment kept alive In suspended animation And finally completed I can hear the echoes As they reverberate I turn to chase the sound again But I'm just a step too late I can still remember The way it resonates The presence of absence disappears I know you're there but you're not really here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asked the old man at the door With who did you share all your love? All your love They walked in a hall And stood in the center Mirror covered walls Where his whole life was played through I guess I have wasted my life Realised the old gardener I've never loved anyone In my life (In my life) In my life (In my life) In my life He cried alone for days They could feel the coldness from his heart Chilling them away So they took him back home In a field enlightened by a sun From a near future And he stood still in the wind Amazed by the beauty of a Tree Of a tree Young lovers' first kiss immortalised Thanks to you And the birds have a home to sleep at night Because of you Children dancing around And their laughter sings in Heaven Thanks to you Have you seen their eyes? The joy on a summer day Memories will never fade away You have touched their lives No one could ever say But there lives the meaning of your passage yesterday Have you seen their eyes? Have you seen their eyes? The joy on a summer day Memories will never fade away You have touched their lives Touched in so many ways For there lives the reason of your passage yesterday...

Pariah Posted May 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 I was drifting for days Where the sun don't shine While the night is young I might clock a little overtime I'll work until dawn Awaken with the setting sun And I'll tether my blimp Wherever there's a party on And if you roll with it You can ride the Spice Train When it boils down to it You could hold the world In the palm of your hand One big bazzar The other's like a garage sale And I'm pitching my stall To cater to the infidels I'm shifting my shape And morphing into Spider-Man And I'll tether my blimp Wherever there's a party on And if you roll with it You can ride the Spice Train When it boils down to it You can hold the world In the palm of your hand And the beat goes on From Bahrain to Brixton From Beirut to Bruges From Beijing to Boston And if you roll with it You can ride the Spice Train When it comes down to it You would trade it all For one night in her arms One big bazaar The other's like a garage sale And I peddle my wares Wherever there's a floor to fill And if you roll with it You can ride the Spice Train When it comes down to it You would trade it all For one night in her arms Still the beat goes on From Bahrain to Brixton From Beirut to Bruges From Beijing to Boston Still the beat goes on Still the beat goes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ternaugh Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 On 5/17/2021 at 1:22 PM, death tribble said: I have never heard of Tony Banks, Jimmy Buffet, Jonathan Coulton and Quarterflash. There are only a couple of tracks by Kansas, Toto and C W McCall which made radio play in Britain whereas I don't expect Americans to know Mud, Slade and T Rex for example. Tony Banks was the keyboard player for a small English band known as Genesis. Jimmy Buffet is known for "Margaritaville", and a chain of restaurants bearing that name. Jonathan Coulton wrote the song, "Still Alive" from the video game, Portal. He also has a vast number of folk/comedy songs. Quarterflash is an American band best known for "Harden My Heart", which got a lot of play back in the day on MTV and various Top-40 radio outlets here in the States. I can't say that I've listened to Mud. Slade is known in the States mainly through the band, Quiet Riot, which performed many of their songs as covers. T Rex is considered something of a one-hit wonder here in the US, for "Get It On (Bang a Gong)", which was later covered by The Power Station. They are name-dropped in the lyrics to "You Better You Bet" by the Who. --------- Oh, it's raining again Oh no, my love's at an end Oh no, it's raining again And you know it's hard to pretend Oh no, it's raining again Too bad I'm losing a friend Oh no, it's raining again Oh will my heart ever mend You're old enough some people say To read the signs and walk away It's only time that heals the pain And makes the sun come out again It's raining again Oh no, my love's at an end Oh no, it's raining again Too bad I'm losing a friend Na na na na na na Na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na Come on you little fighter No need to get uptighter Come on you little fighter And get back up again It's raining again Oh no, my love's at an end Oh no, it's raining again Too bad I'm losing a friend Na na na na na na Na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na Na na na Come on you little fighter No need to get uptighter Come on you little fighter And get back up again Oh, get back up again Oh, fill your heart again It's raining, it's pouring The old man is snoring He went to bed and bumped his head And he couldn't get up in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
