Games People Play
Joe South
Whoa--the games people play now.
Every night and every day now.
Never meanin' what they say now.
Never sayin' what they mean.
While they wile away the hours
in their ivory towers,
'till they're covered-up with flowers
in the back of a black limousine.
[Chorus]
La, da, da da, da-da da;
La, da, da da, da-da de...
talkin' 'bout you-n-me
and the games people play--now.
Whoa we make one another cry,
break a heart then we say goodbye;
cross our hearts and we hope to die
that the other was to blame.
But neither one will ever give-in,
so we gaze at an eight-by-ten
thinkin' 'bout the things that might have been
and it's a dirty rotten shame.
[Chorus]
People walkin'-up to ya,
singin' glory hallelujah
'n' they're tryin' ta sock it to ya,
in the name of the Lord.
They're gonna teach you how to meditate,
read your horoscope, cheat your fate.
And furthermore to Hell with hate
Come-on and get-on board.
[Chorus]
Look-around tell me what you see.
What's a-happenin' to you and me?
God grant me the serenity
to jus' remember who I am.
'cause you've given-up your sanity
for your pride and your vanity,
turn your back on humanity;
Oh and you don't give a da da da da da.
[Chorus x 3]

Re: Lyrics... and life!
I wasn't sure whether to do this in "Quote-tastic" or here, but you specifically mention poems in the original post here, and "Quote-tastic," though not exclusively humorous, seems to tend that way, so here goes:
....
What mad Nijinsky wrote
About Diaghilev
Is true of the normal heart;
For the error bred in the bone
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have,
Not universal love
But to be loved alone.
....
All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.
Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleagured by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.
- W. H. Auden
from "Septemper 1, 1939"

Re: Lyrics... and life!
One of the ideas that has crossed my mind in the past week is joining the Israeli Defense Forces. Reminded me of this old song.
The Punishment Due
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?
A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands
Holy wars
Upon my podium, as the
Know it all scholar
Down in my seat of judgement
Gavel's bang, uphold the law
Up on my soapbox, a leader
Out to change the world
Down in my pulpit as the holier
Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
...The Punishment Due
Wage the war on organized crime
Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
Behind the lines
Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me
Either way they die
They killed my wife, and my baby
With hopes to enslave me
First mistake... last mistake!
Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
Next mistake... no more mistakes!
Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
Thinkin' it
Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
And the lack of mercy killings
The Punishment Due
Brother will kill brother
Spilling blood across the land
Killing for religion
Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea
And come to foreign lands
Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
Do you kill on God's command?
A country that's divided
Surely will not stand
My past erased, no more disgrace
No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear
Part of the master plan
Don't look now to Israel
It might be your homelands

Re: Lyrics... and life!
The early cars
Already are
Drawing deep breaths past my door
And last night's phrases
Sick with lack of basis
Are still writhing on my floor
And it doesn't seem fair
That your wicked words should work
In holding me down
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round
Conversation once colored by esteem
Became duologue as a diagram of a play for blood
Took a vacation, my palate got clean
Now I could taste your agenda
While you're spitting your cud
And it doesn't make sense
I should fall for the kingcraft of a meritless crown
No, it doesn't seem right
To take information
Given at close range
For the gag
And the bind
And the ammunition round
This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out
This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I can't stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache
What is this posture
I have to stare at
That's what he said when I'm sittin' up straight
Change the name of the game 'cause he lost
And he knew he was wrong but he knew it too late
But I'm not being fair
'Cause I chose to listen to that filthy mouth
But I'd like to choose right
Take all the things that I've said that he stole
Put 'em in a sack
Swing 'em over my shoulder
Turn on my heels
Step out of this sight
Try to live in a lovelier light
This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact I cant stop falling out
This is not about love
'Cause I am not in love
In fact i cant stop falling out
I miss that stupid ache
Not About Love (Watch the video for an early appearance of comedian Zach Galifianakis opposite Fiona!)

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
I’m so sorry - I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
On my mind
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
On my mind
Tell,
Tell me,
Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give,
Give me,
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
You were always on
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
On my mind
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
I’m so sorry - I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
On my mind
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
On my mind
Tell,
Tell me,
Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
Give,
Give me,
One more chance to keep you satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
You were always on
You were always on my mind
You were always on,
On my mind

Re: Lyrics... and life!
THIS SONG HAS GREAT MEANING TO MY LIFE
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down,
Never gonna run around and desert you,
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye,
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)
(Ooh) never gonna give, never gonna give
(give you up)
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
YA'LL JUST GOT RICK ROLLED
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Re: Lyrics... and life!
I Get Off ~Halestorm
You don't know that I know,
You watch me every night
And I just can't resist the urge
To stand here in the light
Your greedy eyes upon me
And then I come undone
And I could close the curtains
But this too much fun
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kinda life we make
When your line is crossed
I get off
I get off
So much left unspoken
Between the two of us
It's so much more exciting
To look when you can touch
You could say I am different
And maybe I'm afraid
But I know how to twist ya
To bring you to your knees
I get off on you
getting off on me
I give you what you want
but nothing is for free
it's a give and take
kinda life we make
when your line is crossed
I get off
I get off
But you don't know
but you can't see
What i'll do for you
I'll do for me
I get off on you
getting off on me
I give you what you want
Yeaaaaaaaaa...
I get off on you
Getting off on me
I give you what you want
But nothing is for free
It's a give and take
Kinda life we make
When your line is crossed
I get off
I get off
Yeaa....I get off
Yeaa....I get off
I get off
You don't know that I know,
You watch me every night
And I just can't resist the urge
To stand here in the light
Your greedy eyes upon me
And then I come undone

Getting off on me
I give you what you want

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Get the album. It's one of those cds that you can just listen to the whole thing. It's really well done. Every song is good and has that edge. I like them mostly because it's hard to find a rock band with such a talented frontwoman.

Re: Lyrics... and life!
Pet Peeve of mine in this thread: People posting lyrics without writing which band and song they are from.
Of course, no one is trying to commit intellectual thievery here, but it would be nice if one actually knew who write the lyrics...

^Fix'd. Sorry Don :/ I usually mean to put in the artist/song in before posting, but I was hurrying.
I plan to do just that, Midge. They're awesome, and I might see them in September!

Re: Lyrics... and life!
How can no one know Elvis' music when they see it?
FINE.
My latest post in this thread (before this one, obviously) is Elvis' "Always on My Mind."
Though...I do prefer Silent Hill's/Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's version of this better.

Roisin Murphy - Sinking Feeling
Deep in
Quick sand
You dive in
At the shallow end
You break your
Neck and
You’re never ever gonna get up again
The glass house that you lived in
Is deep in the quickening
Angels might call by
But fools they rush in
Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day
Here in my hand
Time is just sand
Fine lines of love and hate
There on your face
But I look at this way
In the next seven days
In the next
It might just change
How can I write
The story that
Went and wrote itself
Down on paperback
Called “the fountain of know thyself”
It’s a lonely book
Still upon the shelf
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and ride
On the waves of a sinking feeling
Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day
Happy people don’t give into
Happy people don’t give into
That sinking feeling
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves
Of a sinking feeling
Deep in
Quick sand
You dive in
At the shallow end
You break your
Neck and
You’re never ever gonna get up again
The glass house that you lived in
Is deep in the quickening
Angels might call by
But fools they rush in
Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day
Here in my hand
Time is just sand
Fine lines of love and hate
There on your face
But I look at this way
In the next seven days
In the next
It might just change
How can I write
The story that
Went and wrote itself
Down on paperback
Called “the fountain of know thyself”
It’s a lonely book
Still upon the shelf
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and ride
On the waves of a sinking feeling
Bring some peace to your mind
For today is a new day
Happy people don’t give into
Happy people don’t give into
That sinking feeling
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves
It’ll be all smiles
And we’ll rise and we’ll sail
On the waves
Of a sinking feeling

Gamma Ray - Rebellion in Dreamland
Voices are calling from somewhere below
melting on the eastern shore
Rain is falling down on me,
been waiting for eternity...
I’ll be there!
Freedom for us all!
And I wonder why, why my heart still yearns
and I wonder why, why the earth still turns
and I wonder why, why the sky turns black
Still I wonder why, but there is no turning back
For all eternity, for all the world to see
we’re riding high across the wind
and when the storm begins, to wash away all sins
we’ll find a place where we’ll begin
There’s something wrong with the world today,
only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
they don’t believe that they gone too far,
...they’re falling down.
By moonlight there’s a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
... and the earth still turns but I’m on my way,
he is on the way, as my heart still yearns
... I’m on my way, now he is on the way,
and I cry for more
Yes I’m on my way, now he is on the way,
gonna find the secret wall
I have seen the secret dreams
of those who know eternity
and makes me feel like a shadow sneaking in
In my sleep I’m searching for a way to find
the open door leading me to where it all begins
There’s nothing wrong with the world today
only the people that are fighting for...
...a better place in the world today,
they don’t believe that they gone too far,
...they’re falling down
By moonlight there’s a way... for rebellion
here, the world has gone astray... revolution
Now, the time has come to pray... hallelujah
deep, inside our minds we wait... for rebellion
Here in dreamland we will not obey the masters
SOLO: Kai
So now I’m riding through the air
going to where no one dares
on the way I’ll cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I’ll cross the line
forever to be free
SOLO: Dirk
Have no fear, Rebellion is here!

Grizzly Bear vs. Lilly Allen - Two Fair Weeks
"Oh, he treats me with respect
He says he loves me all the time
He calls me 15 times a day
He likes to make sure that I'm fine
You know, I've never met a man who's made me feel quite so secure
...He's not like all them other boys
They're all so dumb and immature
There's just one thing that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed, you're just no good
It's such a shame
I look into your eyes; I want to get to know you
And then you make this noise and it's apparent it's all over.
Would you always...
(I think you're really mean.
I think you're really mean.)
Maybe sometimes...
(You never make me scream.)
Make it easy...
(It's really not okay.
It's really not okay.)
Take your time...
Oh, I lie here in the wet patch
In the middle of the bed
I'm feeling pretty damn hard done by
I've spent ages giving head
Then I remember all the nice things that you ever said to me
Maybe I'm just overreacting maybe you're the one for me
There's just one thing that's getting in the way
When we go up to bed, you're just no good

Oh, you're supposed to care
But you never make me scream
