Love The King Of Emotion - Songlyrics (Seite 2165)

[MissB.Hagen]

Nothing Compares To U
Sinead O’Connor

It`s been seven hours + fifteen days
since u took your love away
I go out every night + sleep all day
since u took your love away
since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
but nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues,
`cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

it`s been so lonely without u here
like a bird without a song
nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
but they`d only remind me of you
I went to the doctor guess what he told me
guess what he told me
he said girl u better have fun
no matter what u do
but he`s a fool
`cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

all the flowers that u planted mama
in the back yard
all died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
but I`m willing to give it another try
`cos nothing compares
nothing compares 2 u

Toni Childs - Stop Your Fussin
(Toni Childs, David Ricketts)
Album: Union (1989)

why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you`re getting everything
you ever wanted to
let`s not talk about the bad times
we`ve been through that before
it`s not right
for making love anymore
just stop your fussin boy
please stop your fussin boy
for your time will come
yes your time will come

can you lay me down
in meadows soft and green
and can you lay me down
and talk to me of things
like stars that burn into the night
and moons that turn with purple lines
that`s what I want
just stop your fussin boy
please stop your fussin boy
your time will come
can`t you just stop your fussin, boy
please stop your fussin boy

can someone tell me why it is
how we could spend so many lonely years
when there`s a light at the end of life
it`s enough it`s enough it`s enough
it`s enough to try
we can see the light
we can feel the warmth
we can see it shine
we can see it all in our lifetime
so why you look so sad
when the sky is perfect blue
and you`re getting everything
you ever wanted, too
stop your fussin
just stop your fussin
for your time will come
we can see it in our lifetime
we can see it in our lifetime

Tracy Chapman - All That You Have Is Your Soul
Album: Crossroads (1989)
Hörprobe http://www.buy.com/retail/music/product.asp?sku=60077577

Oh my mama told me
`Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she wanna spare the children
She say don`t give or sell your soul away
`Cause all that you have is your soul

Don`t be tempted by the shiny apple
Don`t you eat of a bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
`Cause all that you have is your soul

I was a pretty young girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have is your soul

Why was I such a young fool
Thought I`d make history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I`d made something that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can`t possess another
And all that you have is your soul

I thought thought that I could find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to pay
I`d take it all take it all I`d run away
Me for myself first class and first rate
But all that you have is your soul

Here I am waiting for a better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience and clean hands
`Cause all that you have is your soul

All that you have
All that you have
All that you have is your soul

Wie konnte ich mich nur so irren!

Tut mir echt leid, Cockney - hast Dir glatt die falsche CD geholt
Hier - das ist was Du suchst:

Danke schön, Iguana! Wahrscheinlich hast Du recht - von den Textzeilen her, an die ich mich erinnere, könnte es "White Flag" sein. Ich habe mir gerade vor einer Stunde die CD geholt (zusammen mit der aktuellen von Procol Harum). Leider läuft Dido in meinem CD-ROM-Laufwerk nicht... Kopierschutz...

Dein Treffen mit Rollo... die Welt ist klein...

fixbutte, danke für die lyrics von White Flag - ich freue mich aufs Wiederhören heute abend!
.

[Iguana]

@cockney & fixbutte: netter zufall, dass ihr hier dido bringt.
sie selber kenne ich zwar nicht, aber mit ihren bruder (rollo, der kopf von faithless) habe ich mal einen fetzigen abend mit den anderen leuten von faithless bei einer tagung am chiemsee verbracht. er ist wirklich ein verdammt cleverer bursche und hat ein gespür wie man sounds anrichtet um die leute zu packen. ach cockney - die aktuelle single ist das unten gepostete "white flag" - das könnte schon die nummer sein aus dem radio. anfang dezember wird dann das titelstück "life for rent" als single gebracht. vielleicht läuft auch das schon vorab.


aus dem ruhigen repertoire von Deep Purple eine der schönsten balladen (lief heute bei meinem abitreffen und hat sich wieder angenehm in die gehörgegänge festgegraben):

DEEP PURPLE

WHEN A BLIND MAN CRIES

If you´re leaving close the door
I´m not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, I´m lying on the floor
Whether I´m drunk or dead I really ain´t too sure

I´m a blind man, I´m a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know
There ain´t no sadder tale

Had a friend once in a room
Had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month, in that room
We found the reason for the things we had to do

I´m a blind man, I´m a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know
He feels it from his soul

Dido...

Habe gerade gemerkt, dass ich seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr ganz auf dem Laufenden bin! Wie heisst`n das Lied von Dido, das zurzeit wohl dauernd im Radio läuft?

Vor ein paar Tagen, auf der Rückfahrt von meinem neuen Lieblingsaufenthalt Böblingen , lief das gleich mehrmals, aber immer ohne Ansage des Titels.

Selten genug, dass mir etwas Aktuelles so spontan gefällt - aber hier war es so. Schöne Akustikgitarren, schöne Stimme, auffälliger Text, - hat mich so ein wenig an Suzanne Vega erinnert.

Danke!

Kate and Anna McGarrigle - Heart Like A Wheel
written by Anna McGarrigle
Album: Kate and Anna McGarrigle (1975)

Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can`t mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can`t understand oh please God hold my hand
Why it had to happen to me

And it`s only love and it`s only love
That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can`t mend it
But my love for you is like a sinking ship
And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

Joan Armatrading - Love And Affection

I am not in love
But I`m open to persuasion
East or West
Where`s the best
For romancing

With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really laugh

Thank you
You took me dancing
`Cross the floor
Cheek to cheek
But with a lover
I could really move
Really move
I could really dance
Really dance
Really dance
Really dance
I could really move
Really move
Really move
Really move

Now if I can feel the sun
In my eyes
And the rain on my face
Why can`t I
Feel love

I can really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Really love
Love love love love
Love love love love

Now I got all
The friends that I want
I may need more
But I shall just stick to those
That I have got
With friends I still feel
So insecure

Little darling I believe you could
Help me a lot
Just take my hand
And lead me where you will
No conversation
No wave goodnight
Just make love
With affection

Sing me another love song
But this time
With a little dedication
Sing it, sing it
You know that`s what I like
Once more with feeling
Give me love
Give me love
Give me love
Love...

(1976)
