And post the lyrics. Here's mine:

Don McLean - American Pie

A long, long time ago,

I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance,

That I could make those people dance

And maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver,

With every paper I'd deliver

Bad news on the doorstep,

I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried

When I read about his widowed bride

But something touched me deep inside

The day the music died

*Chorus*

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye

Singing this will be the day that I die,

This will be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love

And do you have faith in God above,

If the Bible tells you so?

Now, do you believe in rock and roll

Can music save your mortal soul

And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him

'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym

You both kicked off your shoes,

Man, I dig those rhythm and blues!

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

But I knew that I was out of luck

The day the music died

I started singing

*Chorus*

Now for ten years we've been on our own,

And moss grows fat on a Rolling Stone

But that's not how it used to be

When The Jester sang for The King and Queen

In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

In a voice that came from you and me

And while The King was looking down,

The Jester stole his thorny crown

The courtroom was adjourned,

No verdict was returned

And while Lenin read a book on Marx,

The quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark

The day the music died

We were singing

*Chorus*

Helter Skelter in a summer swelter

The Byrds flew off with a fall out shelter

Eight miles high and falling fast

It landed foul on the grass

The players tried for a forward pass

With The Jester on the sidelines in a cast

Now, the halftime air was sweet perfume

While The Sargeants played a marching tune

We all got up to dance,

Oh, but we never got the chance

'Cause the players tried to take the field

The marching band refused to yield!

Do you recall what was revealed

The day the music died?

We started singing

*Chorus*

Oh, and there we were all in one place

A generation lost in space

With no time left to start again

So come on Jack be nimble,

Jack be quick

Jack Flash sat on a candle stick

Because fire is the devil's only friend

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in Hell

Could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Satan laughing with delight

The day the music died

He was singing

*Chorus*

I met a girl who sang the blues

And I asked her for some happy news...

But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the sacred store

Where I'd heard the music years before

But the man there said the music wouldn't play

And in the streets the children screamed

The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The church bells all were broken

And the three men I admire most

The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

They caught the last train for the coast

The day the music died

And they were singing

Bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye

Singin' this will be the day that I die

This'll be the day that I die

They were singin'

Bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

And them good old boys were drinking whiskey in Rye

Singing this will be the day that I die...

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream

I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen

They talk of days for which they sit and wait and all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, whose sounds caress my ear

But not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear

Oh, oh.

Oh, I been flying... mama, there ain't no denyin'

I've been flying, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land

Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again

Sure as the dust that floats high in June, when movin' through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear

Ohh.

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah

When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down

Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there. Let me take you there

Bob Dylan - Blowin' In The Wind

How many roads must a man walk down,

Before you call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail,

Before she sleeps in the sand?

How many times must cannonballs fly,

Before they're forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

How many years can a mountain exist,

Before it's washed to the seas

How many years can some people exist,

Before they're allowed to be free?

How many times can a man turn his head,

Pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes and how many times must a man look up,

Before he can see the sky?

Yes and how many ears must one man have,

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind

[W. Axl Kev]

Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade

Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made

Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

Juliet says hey it’s romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack

He’s underneath the window she’s singing hey la my boyfriend’s back

You shouldn’t come around here singing up at people like that

Anyway what you gonna do about it ?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start

And I bet and you exploded in my heart

And I forget the movie song

When you wanna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

Come up on differents streets they both were streets of shame

Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same

And I dreamed your dream for you and your dream is real

How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals ?

Where you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold

You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold

You promised me everything you promised me think and thin

Now you just says oh romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die

There’s a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

I can’t do the talk like they talk on tv

And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be

I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you

I can’t do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be

All do is keep the beat and bad company

All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme

Julie I’d do the stars with you any time

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

You said I love you like the stars above I’ll love you till I die

There’s a place for us you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet ?

A lovestruck romeo sings a streetsus serenade

Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made

Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade

Says something like you and me babe how about it ?

1. Wild Side ( MOTLEY CRUE )

Kneel down ye sinners, to

Streetwise religion

Greed's been crowned the new King

Hollywood dream teens

Yesterday's trash queens

Save the blessings for the final ring-

AMEN

Wild side

I carry my crucifix

Under my deathlist

Forward my mail to me in hell

Liars and the martyrs

Lost faith in The Father

Long lost in the wishing well

Wild side

Fallen Angels

So fast to kill

Thy kingdom come on the wild side

Our father

Who ain't in heaven

Be thy name on the wild side Holy Mary

Mother may I

Pray for us on the wild side

Wild side. Wild side

Name dropping no-names

Glamorize cocaine

Puppets with strings of gold

East L.A. at midnight

Papa won't be home tonight

Found dead with his best friend's wife

Wild side

Fatal strikes

We lie on the wild side

No escape

Murder rape

Doing time on the wild side

A baby cries

A cop dies

A day's pay on the wild side

Wild side, wild side

Tragic life on the wild side

Wild side, wild side

Kickin' ass on the wild side

** One of my favourite lyrics.

duff

[Nightrain_Kid]

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',

I was layin' in bed

Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all

If her hair was still red.

Her folks they said our lives together

Sure was gonna be rough

They never did like Mama's homemade dress

Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.

And I was standin' on the side of the road

Rain fallin' on my shoes

Heading out for the East Coast

Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,

Tangled up in blue.

She was married when we first met

Soon to be divorced

I helped her out of a jam, I guess,

But I used a little too much force.

We drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out West

Split up on a dark sad night

Both agreeing it was best.

She turned around to look at me

As I was walkin' away

I heard her say over my shoulder,

"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"

Tangled up in blue.

I had a job in the great north woods

Working as a cook for a spell

But I never did like it all that much

And one day the ax just fell.

So I drifted down to New Orleans

Where I happened to be employed

Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat

Right outside of Delacroix.

But all the while I was alone

The past was close behind,

I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew

Tangled up in blue.

She was workin' in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer,

I just kept lookin' at the side of her face

In the spotlight so clear.

And later on as the crowd thinned out

I's just about to do the same,

She was standing there in back of my chair

Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"

I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,

She studied the lines on my face.

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,

Tangled up in blue.

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe

"I thought you'd never say hello," she said

"You look like the silent type."

Then she opened up a book of poems

And handed it to me

Written by an Italian poet

From the thirteenth century.

And every one of them words rang true

And glowed like burnin' coal

Pourin' off of every page

Like it was written in my soul from me to you,

Tangled up in blue.

I lived with them on Montague Street

In a basement down the stairs,

There was music in the cafes at night

And revolution in the air.

Then he started into dealing with slaves

And something inside of him died.

She had to sell everything she owned

And froze up inside.

And when finally the bottom fell out

I became withdrawn,

The only thing I knew how to do

Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,

Tangled up in blue.

So now I'm goin' back again,

I got to get to her somehow.

All the people we used to know

They're an illusion to me now.

Some are mathematicians

Some are carpenter's wives.

Don't know how it all got started,

I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.

But me, I'm still on the road

Headin' for another joint

We always did feel the same,

We just saw it from a different point of view,

Tangled up in blue.

and:

"Where Eagles Dare"

we walk the streets at night

we go where eagles dare

they pick up every movement

they pick up every loser

with jaded eyes and features

you think they really care?

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think about it baby

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think about it baby, babe

an omelet of disease awaits your noontime meal

her mouth of germicide seducing all your glands

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think about it baby

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think about it baby, babe

let's test your threshold of pain

let's see how long you last

that's happened in your rape

on bosoms of your past

with jaded eyes and features

you think they really care

let's go where eagles dare

let's go where eagles dare

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think about it baby

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think about it baby

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think about it baby

i ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

you better think baby, babe, babe, babe

and other misfits shit at the minute

[Paula McKagan]

one of my fav lyrics is

Peace Sells - Megadeth

[Dannebac]

are you fucking serious?

how the hell do you think will read this shit?

I don't really give a shit. Got a problem with the thread? Then kindly take your dim-witted views elsewhere.

I've got no problem with this thread

I love this kind of threads.. think they are the best ones

just that no body read the lyrics

they post thier lyrics and then that is that

thats all

here is mine

In the dawn an angel was dancing

sorrounded by an aura of light

But in the shadows something was watching

and with patience awaiting the night

Angel whispers: "Mournful night, attractive night,

your dark beauty obsesses me"

An angel bewitched by the shadows

Seduced by the whispering lies

[Chorus:]

A spell was cast an the sky turned red

The angel's heart froze to ice

The blackness that falls is coming to stay

Under the snow lies angels so cold

Dusk has passed and a cold morning breeze,

is sweeping all over the plain,

On the ground lies an angel with skin so pale,

On her face an image of pain,

Snow is now falling to the frozen ground,

The angel is covered by white,

Frost is spreading across the plain,

to welcome the eternal night.

The dress is white with crystals of ice

and frozen roses so red

Roses of blood from an innocent soul

On the plain lies an angel dead

[Chorus:]

A spell was cast an the sky turned red

The angel's heart froze to ice

In the gloomy sky black clouds were gathering

The silence was broken by cries

A spell was cast an the sky turned red

The angel's heart froze to ice

In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie

Touch the snow...Caress the lifeless sculptures

Die!!!

[Chorus:]

The blackness that falls is coming to stay,

Under the snow lies angels so cold,

Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling,

another story is told,

A spell was cast an the sky turned red,

The angel's heart froze to ice,

In the gloomy sky - The silence where dead angels lie.

Tangled up in Blue contains possibly the greatest lyrics ever...

My favourite lyrics atm:

King Crimson - Epitaph

The wall on which the prophets wrote

Is cracking at the seams.

Upon the instruments if death

The sunlight brightly gleams.

When every man is torn apart

With nightmares and with dreams,

Will no one lay the laurel wreath

As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,

The seeds of time were sown,

And watered by the deeds of those

Who know and who are known;

Knowledge is a deadly friend

When no one sets the rules.

The fate of all mankind I see

Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.

As I crawl a cracked and broken path

If we make it we can all sit back

and laugh.

But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying,

Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.

[Yamisonic]

I can't think of any in English, my favourite lyrics ever are in Paloma by Andres Calamaro, or Sexo and Paramar by Los Prisioneros ... All of Dylan's lyrics are incredible though, I love his style. I like the lyrics in Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again. Positively 4th Street is fine too.

The lyrics in Mr. Jones by Counting Crows are lyrics I know people can relate to.

I've been listening to simple feel-good pop a lot lately, nothing too deep, so I can't tell you right now.

EDIT: The Song Remains The Same has some damn good lyrics

Edited January 22, 2006 by Yamisonic

[Lithium]

The Vaselines - Jesus Don't Want Me For His Sunbeam

Jesus don't want me for His sunbeam

'Cause sunbeams are never made like me

Don't expect me to cry, for all the reasons you had to die

Don't ever ask your love of me

Don't expect me to cry

Don't expect me to lie

Don't expect me to die for thee

[krissirge]

Carcass - Exhume To Consume

Grimly I dig up the turfs

To remove the corrupted stiffs

Trying to contain my excitement

As I desecrate graveolent crypts...

Fingers claw at coffin lids

Eager festal exhumation

Hugging your wry, festered remains

With post-humous joy and elation...

Body snatched, freshly interred

Whatever takes my fancy

To satisfy my gratuitous pica

My culinary necromancy...

Scrutinised then brutalised

My forensic inquisition is fulfiled

My recipe is now your epitaph

Be it fried, boiled or grilled...

I devour the pediculous corpse

Whetting my palate as I exhume

The festering stench of rotting flesh

Makes me drool as I consume...

Caskets I grate

My larder's a grave

I'm sickly obsessed (with the badly decomposed)

Rotten remains I eat

Purulent meat

What a funeral feast (putrid reek

Weeping tissue is stripped

Pus dribbles from my lips

Pulverising this pustular chaff

Butchering up morgue's makes me laugh...

Ulcerated flesh I munch

Rotting corpses are my lunch

On bones I love to crunch (on the badly decomposed)

Shrivelled innards I lick

The corpse's head I kick

Crumbling shreds I pick (eat the stiffs)

[solo: morbid melody for the deceased with salt to taste]

Rancid flesh, slaughter the dead

- Caskets exhumed...

Corpses disinterred, graves disturbed

- To consume...

Bereaved relatives are not amused

As on their dear departed I feverishly consume...

Slavering worms, decomposure burns

Corrosion born, as bacteria gnaw

Desecrate...

Precipitate....(from the muddy grave)

Macerate...

Eviscerate...

Caskets I grate

My larder's a grave

I'm sickly obsessed (with the badly decomposed)

Rotten remains I eat

Purulent meat

What a funeral feast (putrid reek)

Saponified fats, nibbled by rats

- freshly exhumed...

Deep down six feet is where I like to eat

- Human flesh to consume...

[J.T]

Punk Rock Song/Bad Religion

have you been to the desert?

have you walked with the dead?

there's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread

and the figures don't lie they speak of human disease

but we do what we want and we think what we please

have you lived the experience?

have you witnessed the plague?

people making babies sometimes just to escape

in this land of competition mine compassion is gone

yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on

keep pushing on

this is just a punk rock song

written for the people who can see something's wrong

like ants in a colony we do our share

but there's so many other fuckin' insects out there

and this is just a punk rock song

have you visited the quagmire?

have you swam in the shit?

the party conventions and the real politics

the faces always different, the rhetoric the same

but we swallow it all, and we see nothing change

nothing has changed...

this is just a punk rock song

written for the people who can see something's wrong

like workers in a factory we do our share

but there's so many other fuckin' robots out there

and this is just a punk rock song

10 million dollars on a losing campaign

20 million starving and writhing in pain

big strong people unwilling to give

small in vision and perspective

one in five kids below the poverty line

one population runnin' out of time

runnin' out of time

this is just a punk rock song

written for the people who can see something's wrong

like ants in a colony we do our share

but there's so many other fuckin' insects out there

and this is just a punk rock song

sienctis making human disease

well we do what we whant and we take who we pleace

one in five kids below the poverty line

one population runnin' out of time

this is just a punk rock song

this is just a punk rock song

this is just a punk rock song

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Say your prayers little on

Don’t forget, my son

To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within

Keep you free from sin

Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

Off to never never land

Something’s wrong, shut the light

Heavy thoughts tonight

And they aren’t of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars

Dreams of dragon’s fire

And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open

Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep

Pray the lord my soul to keep

If I die before I wake

Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don’t say a word

And never mind that noise you heard

It’s just the beast under your bed,

In your closet, in your head

Exit light

Enter night

Grain of sand

Exit light

Enter night

Take my hand

We’re off to never never land

Not deep or anything..just a kickass song.

[Graeme]

rock1 Runrig-only the brave. rock1

12 o clock at night,

streets of many corners

a lunar river winds

down the closes and the lanes

tonight skips the sleeping years

and re awakes the memory,

takes me along the way

to the places of the heart.

The days of summer came,

Days of many heartaches

not to love is not to live, not to live is to feel no pain

so unlock this heart of stone

teach me the ways of mystery

in the places where they say

only the brave may walk alone

You took me to this town,

you took me to the moment

that makes angels lose their wings and makes poets lose their wonder

But, oh I have found in you

a love life pure and lasting

may your heart hold true and may your nights run long.

[Dannebac]

I changed my mind

its these 2 thats my favorite B)

DROPKICK MURPHYS - FOREVER

All of my dreams seem to fall by the side like a discarded thought or the day's fading light

but I know that if I could just see you tonight forever at times we may fall,

like we all tend to do but I'll reach out and find that I've run into you

your strength is the power that carried me through forever

Your kindness for weakness I never mistook I worried you often,

yet you understood that life is so fleeting,

these troubles won't last forever inspired me truly you did from the start to not be afraid

and to follow my heart there's a piece of you with me they can't tear apart forever

Forever I'll find you, forever we'll be

Forever your power and strength stays with me

DROPKICK MURPHYS - WORLD FULL OF HATE

A feeling inside in the back of my head

Like a song you still know from so long ago

And I wouldn't change a thing

Like a car driving by triggers something in my mind

Am I retrieving my direction or just charging forward blind

Am I everything that you wanted me to be

Have I lost that condition, a connection I couldn't see

Til the end like a friend stands by you again

And I wouldn't change a thing

Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know

And I wouldn't change a thing

As the years pass us by, will I still make the grade

Can I really offer anything, and will my soul be saved

Can you cleanse me of...drive out the swine

Am I only falling farther, can you keep me safe from harm

The memories you build in the house on a hill

Would you really change a thing

Corrected mistakes in a world full of hate

Never changes anything

Til the end like a friend stands by you again

Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know

Til the end like a friend stands by you again

And I wouldn't change a thing

Toe to toe, friend or foe, it's all that I know

And I wouldn't change a thing

Running Down A Dream lyrics are pretty cool.

Queen - Too much love will kill you

iIm just the pieces of the man i used to be

too many bitter tears are raining down on me

I'm far away from home

and I've been facing this alone

for much too long

I feel like no one ever told the truth to me

about growing up and what a struggle it would be

in my tangled state of mind

Ive been looking back to find

where i went wrong

too much love will kill you

if you can't make up your mind

torn between the lover

and the love you leave behind

you're headed for disaster

'cos you never read the signs

too much love will kill you

every time

I'm just the shadow of the man i used to be

and it seems like there's no way out of this for me

I used to bring you sunshine

now all I ever do is bring you down

how would it be if you were standing in my shoes

can't you see that it's impossible to choose

no there's no making sense of it

every way I go I`m about to loose

too much love will kill you

just as sure as none at all

it'll drain the power that's in you

make you plead and scream and crawl

and the pain will make you crazy

you're the victim of your crime

too much love will kill you

every time

too much love will kill you

it'll make your life a lie

yes too much love will kill you

and you won't understand why

you'd give your life you'd sell your soul

but here it comes again

too much love will kill you

in the end

in the end

I love Axl's lyrics of course...Breakdown, Coma, Rocket Queen, Estranged. And so many more. I assume you guys know those ones.

Leonard Cohen is also really cool:

Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed

Everybody knows that the war is over

Everybody knows the good guys lost

Everybody knows the fight was fixed

The poor stay poor, the rich get rich

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking

Everybody knows that the captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets

Everybody wants a box of chocolates

And a long stem rose

Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby

Everybody knows that you really do

Everybody knows that you've been faithful

Ah give or take a night or two

Everybody knows you've been discreet

But there were so many people you just had to meet

Without your clothes

And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never

Everybody knows that it's me or you

And everybody knows that you live forever

Ah when you've done a line or two

Everybody knows the deal is rotten

Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton

For your ribbons and bows

And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming

Everybody knows that it's moving fast

Everybody knows that the naked man and woman

Are just a shining artifact of the past

Everybody knows the scene is dead

But there's gonna be a meter on your bed

That will disclose

What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows what you've been through

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary

To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows it's coming apart

Take one last look at this Sacred Heart

Before it blows

And everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Oh everybody knows, everybody knows

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows

Leonard Cohen - Closing Time

Ah we're drinking and we're dancing

and the band is really happening

and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high

And my very sweet companion

she's the Angel of Compassion

she's rubbing half the world against her thigh

And every drinker every dancer

lifts a happy face to thank her

the fiddler fiddles something so sublime

all the women tear their blouses off

and the men they dance on the polka-dots

and it's partner found, it's partner lost

and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:

it's CLOSING TIME

Yeah the women tear their blouses off

and the men they dance on the polka-dots

and it's partner found, it's partner lost

and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:

it's CLOSING TIME

Ah we're lonely, we're romantic

and the cider's laced with acid

and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"

And the moon is swimming naked

and the summer night is fragrant

with a mighty expectation of relief

So we struggle and we stagger

down the snakes and up the ladder

to the tower where the blessed hours chime

and I swear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss

the Gates of Love they budged an inch

I can't say much has happened since

but CLOSING TIME

I swear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss

the Gates of Love they budged an inch

I can't say much has happened since

CLOSING TIME

I loved you for your beauty

but that doesn't make a fool of me:

you were in it for your beauty too

and I loved you for your body

there's a voice that sounds like God to me

declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you

And I loved you when our love was blessed

and I love you now there's nothing left

but sorrow and a sense of overtime

and I missed you since the place got wrecked

And I just don't care what happens next

looks like freedom but it feels like death

it's something in between, I guess

it's CLOSING TIME

Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked

By the winds of change and the weeds of sex

looks like freedom but it feels like death

it's something in between, I guess

it's CLOSING TIME

Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing

but there's nothing really happening

and the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night

And my very close companion

gets me fumbling gets me laughing

she's a hundred but she's wearing

something tight

and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth

which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth

except to say it isn't worth a dime

And the whole damn place goes crazy twice

and it's once for the devil and once for Christ

but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights

we're busted in the blinding lights,

busted in the blinding lights

of CLOSING TIME

The whole damn place goes crazy twice

and it's once for the devil and once for Christ

but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights

we're busted in the blinding lights,

busted in the blinding lights

of CLOSING TIME

Oh the women tear their blouses off the men they dance on the polka-dots

It's CLOSING TIME

And it's partner found, it's partner lost

and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops

It's CLOSING TIME

I swear it happened just like this:

a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss

It's CLOSING TIME

The Gates of Love they budged an inch

I can't say much has happened since

But CLOSING TIME

I loved you when our love was blessed

I love you now there's nothing left

But CLOSING TIME

I miss you since the place got wrecked

By the winds of change and the weeds of sex.
