#1 Crush (more lyrics)

[khashka]

I would die for you
I would die for you
I’ve been dying just to feel you by my side, to know that you’re mine
I would cry for you
I would cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears, I’m drowning on fear
I will pray for you
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true, someone like you
See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I’m talkin’
You will believe in me, and I will never be ignored
I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart, and tear it apart
I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see, you’re just like me
Violate all the love that I’m missin’
Throw away all the pain that I’m livin’
You will believe in me, and I can never be ignored
I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I’d do time for you
I will wait for you
I’d make room for you
I’d sink ships for you,
Take the cross for you
Make me a part of you
Because I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

Khash.

LOVE SONG TO A STRANGER

(Words and Music by Joan Baez)

How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
His warm arms all around me?
How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
To a place where it longs to be?
All of your history has little to do with your face
You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space

You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose
From the bouquet in our hotel
And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose
On the pillow where it fell
I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care
To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there

The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
Like a sweet breeze on a field
Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you
When you caused me to yield
We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone

Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams
I don't want to hear
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
From a lifetime of cares
Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn

Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder
How they could belong to me
And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down
To a place where it longs to be

8. Man, I have lived that ......

A smile of remembrance, ....

A tear for the longing, ....

11. You're Aging Well!

by Dar Williams


Why is it that as we grow older and stronger
The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid
Saying 'You never can win,' 'Watch your back,' 'Where's your
husband?'
Oh I don't like the signs that the signmakers made.

So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes
I'll change the directions, I'll hit every street
It's the Tinseltown scandal, the Robin Hood vandal
She goes out and steals the King's English
And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you

They say
'I'm so glad that you finally made it here,'
'You thought nobody cared, but I did, I could tell,'
And 'This is your year,' and 'It always starts here,'
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh, 'You're aging well.'

Well I know a woman with a collection of sticks
She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard
And she could poke at the greed, she could fend off her need
And with anger she found she could pound every word.
But one voice got through, caught her up by surprise
It said, 'Don't hold us back we're the story you tell,'
And no sooner than spoken, a spell had been broken
And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani
Violins, basses and woodwinds and cellos, singing

'We're so glad that you finally made it here
You thought nobody cared, but we did, we could tell
And now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh, you're aging well.'


Now when I was fifteen, oh I knew it was over
The road to enchantment was not mine to take
Cause lower calf, upper arm should be half what they are
I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made.

And all I could eat was the poisonous apple
And that's not a story I was meant to survive
I was all out of choices, but the woman of voices

She turned round the corner with music around her,
She gave me the language that keeps me alive, she said:

'I'm so glad that you finally made it here
With the things you know now, that only time could tell
Looking back, seeing far, landing right where we are
And oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh, you're aging, oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh and I am aging,
oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh, aren't we aging well?'

2. ooooooooooo

:o

You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no
Soul to tell
Help me the only thing that works for me, help me get
Away from myself
I want to f**k you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to f**k you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation, you can have the hate that
It brings
You can have my absence of faith, you can have my
Everything
Help me tear down my reason, help me its’ your sex i
Can smell
Help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody
Else
I want to f**k you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to f**k you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to god
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive

[khashka]

4. I'm not seventeen

But I have cuts on my knees
Falling down as the winter
takes one more cherry tree....

Or....


Those demigods
With their Nine Inch Nails
And little fascist panties
Tucked inside the heart of every nice girl.

Khash.

3. If I may be permitted to respond.

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty I feel pretty and witty and gay
And I pity Any girl who isn't me today

I feel charming
Oh so charming It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real

See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

I feel stunning
And entrancing Feel like running And dancing for joy
For I'm loved By a pretty wonderful boy .

:P and :loveya:

[khashka]

5. Well I posted that for you....

Just to prove Shirley Manson can kick Dicky Wagner's butt any day of the week.

12. If we're getting into rivalry

Nur eine Waffe taugt -
die Wunde schliess
der Speer nur, der sie schlug.
Sei heil, entsuendigt und gesuehnt!
Denn ich verwalte nun dein Amt.
Gesegnet sei dein Leiden,
das Mittleids hoechste Kraft,
und reinsten Wissens Macht
dem zagen Toren gab!
Den heil'gen Speer -
ich bring' ihn euch zurueck!
O! Welchen Wunders hoechstes Gluck!
Der deine Wunde durfte schilessen,
ihm seh' ich heil'ges Blut entfliessen
in Sehnsucht nach dem verwandten Quelle,
der dort fliesst in des Grales Welle.
Nicht soll der mehr verschlossen sein;
enthuellet den Gral, oeffnet den Schrein!

The English doesn't do it justice - plus there's not the gorgeous sound swelling up over the words. It's the conclusion of Parsifal, the title role having recovered the Sacred Lance brings it back to the Knights of the Holy Grail. Suffice it to say that there are layers and layers of imagery, Christian placed on Buddhist, placed on Pagan, placed on whatever nonsense Wagner chose to invent at the time.

Personally - think that it kicks your lyrics so completely into the long-grass that it's not even funny. :P

I've now got that majestic 'faith' motif flowing through my head - and I'm not even close to being drunk (having been out for dinner with my family), but nearly drunk on the art. :D

6. Here's a crush.

Ahh, crush, ahhh

I see ya blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

It's raising my adrenaline
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
You say the word "forevermore"
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is "maybe"

So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll pay loose
Run like we have a day with destiny

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la, Sha-la-la-la

Vanilla skies (vanilla skies)
White picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me

It's just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do depends on you
Sha-la-la-la
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do
Depends on you

7. how about this:

All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause - life is our cause
When I think of your kisses
My mind see-saws

[khashka]

9. I want to shampoo you

You know how erotic it can be to wash a girl's hair?


Uh, no, that's just me.

Khash.
