Love The King Of Emotion - Songlyrics (Seite 2196)

[Iguana]

und hier noch zwei weitere faves von mir von den jungs aus der heimat der namensgeber dieses threads:

RUNRIG

PROTECT AND SURVIVE

The red hot sun burns up the hill
The winter`s bride, the summer`s king
I tramp these acres and I feel
Once upon a time
Then it seemed that everything
You saw and touched and felt was real
You turned the tap and you turned the wheel
Breathing free
Now you search the open evening sky
Trace the memory in your eyes
For the prophet`s hard rain and the deluge
Lie in tears around your door
Once there were trees and livestock here
A mother`s love, the warnings clear
But you chose to turn away from fear
Breathing free
Now there`s a faceless cross on a distant hill
A wasted voice, a silent scream
Where the lovers love and the dreamers dream
You stand and dream alone
You took your sacrifice to the gods of war
Traded your children`s lives for a mess of gold
And you beat your ploughshares into swords
Breathing free
Once in a lifetime
You live and love
Once in a lifetime
You die
Once in a lifetime
The sun goes down
Protect and survive

und da fast jeder ihrer songs ihre große heimatliebe zu schottland ausstrahlt hier eine hommage:

SIOL GHORAIDH

Ochd deug seisreach
Air raontainn Aird a` Mhorrain
Na fir a` treabhadh
An la a thainig na Sleitich
Dubh dath na fala
A dhoirt `na tuil gu talamh
Saighead claidheamh
Tro chairdeas corp an Udail
Siol Ghoraidh
Mac Ruairidh
Clann Raghnaill
Clann Dhomhaill
Linn gu linn
Ainm gu ainm
Air an sgiath seo dh `Uibhist
`S mi beo an drasd
Clann mo theaghlaich
Clann mo theaghlaich fhein

fixbutte, Iguana,... danke

Heute habe ich meine Eintrittskarte aus dem Briefkasten gefischt *strahl*
Am Montag!!!!

Runrig
Hearthammer

With the eyes of a child the
wonder of it all. I used to
search the stars at night and I
felt so safe and small. Sweet
sounds from a Merseytown and my
nursery God. I wanted to ride
with Yuri Gagarin as he circled
all around my world. Lying under
the covers. Radio on. Settle
down with Caroline as she sailed
all summer long. Sweetheart of
the Rodeo. Mining Hearts of
Gold. I think it was somewhere
post Rubber Soul. There was the
first caress. There were the
Labour years. There was the man
that walked the moon something I
never really believed. The Di
Stefano twists the Charlton
goals. Now I`m still here with
the eyes of a child the wonder
never grows old. Hearthammer.
The wonder never grows old.

SINCE I`VE BEEN LOVING YOU - LED ZEPPELIN

Working seven to eleven ev`ry night,
It really makes my life a drag,
I don`t think that`s right.
I`ve really, really been the best of fools,
I did what I could,
`Cause I love you, baby,
How I love you, darling,
How I love you, baby,
How I love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, Since I`ve Been Loving You, yeah,
I`m about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.

Ev`rybody trying to tell me
That you didn`t mean me no good.
I`ve been trying, Lord, let me tell you,
Let me tell you I really did the best I could.
I`ve been working seven to eleven ev`ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag.
Lord, you know it ain`t right.
Since I`ve Been Loving You,
I`m about to lose my worried mind.

Said I`ve been crying,
My tears they fell like rain,
Don`t you hear,
Don`t you hear them falling,
Don`t you hear,
Don`t you hear them falling.

Do you remember, mama,
when I knocked upon your door?
I said you had the nerve to tell me
You didn`t want me no more,
I open my front door hearing my back door slam,
You must have one of them new fangled,
New fangled back door man,

I`ve been working from seven, seven, seven,
To eleven ev`ry night,
It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag,
Ah, yeah, it makes a drag.
Baby, Since I`ve Been Loving You,
I`m about to lose,
I`m about to lose, lose my worried mind.

PLAY IT LOUD

JOAN OF ARC

Leonard Cohen


Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
as she came riding through the dark;
no moon to keep her armour bright,
no man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, "I`m tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
a wedding dress or something white
to wear upon my swollen appetite."

Well, I`m glad to hear you talk this way,
you know I`ve watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke.
"Why, I`m fire," he replied,
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."

"Then fire, make your body cold,
I`m going to give you mine to hold,"
saying this she climbed inside
to be his one, to be his only bride.
And deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and high above the wedding guests
he hung the ashes of her wedding dress.

It was deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and then she clearly understood
if he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
but must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

Led Zeppelin - Tangerine

Measuring a summer`s day,
I only finds it slips away to grey,
The hours, they bring me pain.

*Tangerine, Tangerine,
Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,
And now a thousand years between.

Thinking how it used to be,
Does she still remember times like these?
To think of us again?
And I do.

* Chorus

@fixbutte: Schön, dass Du "No Milk Today" gepostet hast; ich habe es jetzt die ganze Zeit im Ohr. Irgendwo habe ich mal gelesen, dass wolaufensie die Jungs von Herman`s Hermits mal im Hotel getroffen hat (viele Jahre später) und sie erstaunt waren, dass sie noch jemand kannte...

(Korrigier` mich, wolaufensie, wenn ich mich irren sollte..).

[fixbutte]

Zu No Milk Today
Was mir bisher noch nicht aufgefallen war, sind die schwulen Assoziationen - zumindest aus heutiger Sicht - in diesem Text
"the company was gay we turned night into day"
"behind the door where my love reigned as queen"

Damals ist man wohl mit den Wörtern "gay" und "queen" nicht so eindeutig umgegangen, sonst wäre das nicht in die Hitparaden gekommen. Andererseits: es ist nie von einem "girl" die Rede, sondern nur von "love", und es ist eine Liebesgeschichte, die sich offenbar nur nachts hinter verschlossenen Türen abspielt

Zu korrigieren ist in dem Text jedenfalls
"just two up two down" - das typische englische Reihenhaus (terraced house) für die arbeitende Klasse mit 2 Räumen oben und 2 Räumen unten

[fixbutte]

Von den Hollies fand ich immer besonders süß die harmlose, typisch englische, von Graham Gouldman (der später mit 10cc ganz andere Sachen gemacht hat) geschriebene Geschichte

BUS STOP
The Hollies

Bus stop, wet day, she`s there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she`d shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That`s the way the whole thing started
Silly but it`s true
Thinkin` of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she`d shopped and she would show me what she bought
Other people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

Bus stop, wet day, she`s there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine


Als Quasi-Zwilling passt die ebenfalls typisch englische, ebenfalls von Graham Gouldman geschriebene Geschichte (der mit Abstand stärkste Song, den die sonst gelegentlich unerträglichen Herman`s Hermits gebracht haben)

No Milk Today
Herman`s Hermits

No milk today my love is gone away
The bottle stands forlon a symbol of the dawn
No milk today it seems a common sight
But people passing by don`t know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of all my hopes the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today it wasn`t always so
The company was gay we turn`d night into day

But all that`s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up to down

No milk today it wasn`t always so
The company was gay we turn`d night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once the start of our romance

How could they know just what this message means
The end of all my hopes the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today my love is gone away
The bottle stands forlon a symbol of the dawn

But all that`s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when I think of you only
Just two up to down

No milk today my love is gone away
The bottle stands forlon a symbol of the dawn
No milk today it seems a common sight
But people passing by don`t know the reason why

How could they know just what this message means
The end of all my hopes the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today it wasn`t always so
The company was gay we turn`d night into day

But all that`s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
But all that`s left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
