New thread! In play:
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away
[Yay! This legally means I can use cuts I used in the last thread!]
He lifts you up he shines
And then he’s gone
But you know you need him
More when he’s gone
Mr. Sun just shine on me
Mr. Sun just shine
Walking with a man called Sun
I think my journey’s just begun
Do you think he’ll mind?
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
May the Lord protect and defend you.
May He always shield you from shame.
I know that there’s a reason why I need to be alone
You show me there’s a silent place that I can call my own
Is it mine?
Oh Lord is it mine?
Mm, my Lord (Hallelujah)
My, my, my Lord (Hare Krishna)
My sweet Lord (Hare Krishna)
My sweet Lord (Krishna Krishna)
My lord (Hare Hare)
1 A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
does seek to work us woe;
his craft and power are great,
and armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not his equal.
I was born from love and my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the good book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don’t believe I wanna see the morning
One and only rebel child
From a family, meek and mild
My Mama seemed to know what lay in store
Despite all my Sunday learnin’
Towards the bad, I kept on turnin’
'Til Mama couldn’t hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison doin’ life without parole
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Mama! Just killed a man
Put my gun against his head
Pulled the trigger, now he’s dead
Forever marching to the grave,
Half-paralysed by fear.
But if you look up in the sky,
You’ll see a second sun appear.
Rejoice, I’m dead,
At last I’m free.
September’s coming soon
I’m pining for the moon
And what if there were two
Side by side in orbit around the fairest sun?*
[*Yes I know Michael Stipe fails astronomy forever here]
Blue moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Moon over Miami
Shine on my love and me
So we can stroll beside the roll
Of the rolling sea
She told me that only in Miami
Is Cuba so far away.
Only in Miami.
My story, she goes this way.
Fish may fly through the purple keys,
Golden birds take to air.
I am bound to the earth, it seems.
My life can be so unfair.
Only in Miami
Is Cuba so far away.
San Francisco morning coming clear and cold
Don’t know if I’m walking or I’m dreaming
Riding with Fats Waller on the Super Chief
He says, “Music’s real, the rest is seeming”
We left for Frisco in your Rambler
The radiator running dry
I’ve never been much of a gambler
And had a preference to fly
You said forget about the airline,
Let’s take the car and save the fare
We blew a gasket on the Grapevine
And eighty dollars on repairs
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
All aboard (Sausalito summernight)
After all that we’ve said today
After all, it isn’t just a dream
I just want to be there for all of your sweet
Summer days, summer nights
Summer days, summer nights
Hey, little girl
I want to be your boyfriend
Sweet little girl
I want to be your boyfriend
Do you love me babe?
What do you say?
Do you love me babe?
What can I say?
You broke my heart 'cause I couldn’t dance,
You didn’t even want me around
And now I’m back to let you know I can really shake 'em down
Do you love me? (I can really move)
Do you love me? (I’m in the groove)
Now do you love me? (Do you love me)
Now that I can dance?
Watch me, now
