I'm not normally a lyrics person. Generally if I like a song it's because of the sound, not the meaning. But sometimes I find a few lyrics that I really like. These are sticking in my memory at the moment. From "New mistake" by Jellyfish He knew better that perfume was gravity Pulling him closer to what could be tragedy Love is blind, deaf and dumb But never mind From "New England" by Kirsty McCall (I know it's by Billy Bragg, but I like her version better) I saw two shooting stars last night I wished on them, but they were only satellites It's wrong to wish on space hardware I wish, I wish, I wish you cared So, do you guys have any lyrics that stick in your head? Go on, post some.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I think it depends on my mood and which album I was last heard. At this time it's a track from the second Ghost In The Shell album, but it's in Japanese.

I have a few I must admit... I Swear by all 4 one And I swear by the moon And the stars in the sky I'll be there I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there For better or worse Till death do us part I'll love you with every beat of my heart And I swear and this one i knew I loved you by Savage garden Maybe it's intuition but some things you just don't question Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant And there it goes, I think I found my best friend I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe... I knew I loved you before I met you I think I dreamed you into life I knew I loved you before I met you I have been waiting all my life There's just no rhyme or reason Only the sense of completion And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces I'm searching for I think I've found my way home I know that it might sound more than a little crazy but I believe...

You can't hide that romantic streak...

There used to be a ad for Skol Lager which had a group of Vikings just singing the word Skol as a song. But one Viking was having trouble singling along. His friend asked him what the matter was and that one Viking said that he couldn't remember the words. That ad used the Hagar newspaper cartoon characters. Quite funny I thought.

Ah, the old days when beer was allowed to be advertised on tv over here. There were some really, really good beer adverts. Do you remember the one with the cat and its 9 lives?

I don't think so but I do like the Carling adverts. Sigh, they don't make any good adverts nowadays. And as for the Carlsberg ads, well "they are probably the best lager adverts in the world."

i love the lyrics to Superman by Five for Fighting I can't stand to fly - I'm not that naive I'm just out to find the better part of me I'm more than a bird; I'm more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train And it's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry, fall upon my knees Find a way to lie about a home I'll never see It may sound absurd but don't be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed but won't you conceed Even heroes have the right to dream and it's not easy to be me

Is that the new Superman movie?

I keep going back to camp songs for my favourites. So many of the pop songs are about losing things. These are the two that inspire much of my writing, especially the first one. Today Chorus: Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine, I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine. A million tomorrows shall all pass away, Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today. I can't be contented with yesterday's glory, I can't live on promises winter to spring. Today is the moment and now is the story, I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing. Chorus I'll be a dandy and I'll be a rover, You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing. I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover, Who cares what tomorrow may bring. Chorus All My Life's a Circle All my life's a circle, sunrise and sundown The moon rolls through the night time Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle, but I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by. It seems like I've been here before, I can't remember when But I got this funny feeling That we'll all be back again There's no straight lines that make up my life And all my roads have bends There's no clear cut beginnings, and so far no dead ends. I've found you a thousand times, I guess you've done the same But then we'll lose each other It's just like children's games As I see you here again, the thought runs through my mind Our friendships like a circle, Let's go round one more time.

no, not from the new Superman movie - its an 'older' song from a couple of years ago. you can probably find it on the web somewhere i'm sure, if you're curious.

Seems Superman is inspirational. I can see the team treading close to this one at times. "Superman's Song" Crash Test Dummies Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent He would not be caught sittin' around in no Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing [Chorus Superman never made any money For saving the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair the world will never see Another man like him Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job Even though he could have smashed through any bank In the United States, he had the strength, but he would not Folks said his family were all dead Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane." Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back On man, join Tarzan in the forest But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through And nothing to do but go on home
