Lyric of the Day

Fairport Convention / Meet on the ledge (1968)

Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
When my time is up I'm gonna see all my friends
Meet on the ledge
We're gonna meet on the ledge
If you really mean it, it all comes round again

[SynchroDub]

I'm off of the earth, I'll ride alone
I'm drifting away, out of time, I flow
Away from the truth,
away from the night
Away from the day
I'm off of the earth, I'll ride alone

-Mike Shinoda

John Prine / Your Flag Decal Won’t Get You Into Heaven Anymore
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reasons for
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more

Goldfinger : The Innocent


The start of Armageddon
It was just another day
We all saw the news, nothing to say

So many friends are missing
And family members gone
So we all pray that God help them be strong

And now we stand together
Remembering that day
The lives we live will never be the same

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why
But we know it's not right
We don't know why so many had to die
We don't know why so many had to die

Hate has turned to others
For their religion or their skin
But hate can't solve the problem it began
Everyone is angry
People are afraid
And no one knows what decisions will be made

And we don't know why (don't know why)
The innocent die (don't know why)
Will this world ever find a way to change?
And we don't know why (don't know why)
But we know it's not right (don't know why)
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same?

And we don't know why
The innocent die
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same?

[Wallingford]

Five O'clock in the morning
I'm up before the sun
when my workday is over
I'm too tired for having fuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.

Bob Dylan / Make You Feel My Love

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet

[redmond]

Counting Crows / Time And Time Again

I wanted so badly,
Somebody other than me,
Staring back at me,
But you were gone, gone, gone.

Joni Mitchel / Hejira (1976)

In the church, they light the candles
And the wax rolls down like tears
There is the hope and the hopelessness
I've witnessed thirty years
We're only particles of change I know, I know
Orbiting around the sun
But how can I have that point of view
When I'm always bound and tied to someone

Cilla Black / What's It All About Alfie?

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?
