Good earworm. Post it.
Icehouse
No Promises


a winter palace
from the arabian nights
white waves on an ocean
gems from a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

no promises
but if you should fall

stars die in the silence
of arabian nights
wind washes the seasons
in these days of a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

1. My current one
"B n B" (from Bollywood movie "Bunty Aur Babli"


Are u ready, sit down,
Let me da tell you a lil story,
'bout 2 cool cats,
yeah, bunty aur babli,
c'minin' at an angle,
that they better than the rest,
when ya looking in-in their hearts,
them a da pass the test.

them a da pass the test

Don't look back,
He's comin' into attack,
He's takin' it side by side,
He's takin' it front to back,
He's takin' it all around the world,
Never, never will he stop this
Bunty!

Pun - ja - bi
She be flippin' a beat,
She be out to steal,
She be keepin' it real,
She be on a mission, she be livin, she be killin',
She be Babli!

Now the story begins in kanpur, the land,
With a master plan, to take the world at hand,
Goin' step by step, they crossin over the border,
With a step by step, lookin over their shoulders,
Never too amazed, never to unfurl,
There are only 2 kinds of people in the world,
Only positive - negative, only good and bad,
Only right and wrong, that's all we ever had.

just like an angry character with a lotta soul,

Bunty aur Babli,
them a da call him Bunty with a heart of gold,
Bunty aur Babli,
just like a beautiful angel comin' outta the cold,
Bunty aur Babli,
there's only one Babli and that's for sure.
Bunty aur Babli, Bunty aur Babli,
They are comin' to your town,
They hustle then, they hustle now,
Oh - ho oh - ho

Bunty aur Babli, Bunty aur Babli,
Makin' money all around,
Never do they settle down
Oh - ho oh - ho

just like an angry character with a lotta soul,
them a da call him Bunty with a heart of gold,
just like a beautiful angel comin' outta the cold,
there's only one Babli and that's for sure,

and 2gether they ride
(chori, chori, chori tonight)
2gether they cry
(chori, chori, chori tonight)
2gether they ride, 2gether they cry,
2gether they fly, 2gether they die,
2gether they rise above the whole world,
2gether they smile

Bunty aur Babli, Bunty aur Babli,
They are comin' to your town,
They hustle then, they hustle now,
Oh - ho oh - ho

Bunty aur Babli, Bunty aur Babli,
Makin' money all around,
Never do they settle down
Oh - ho oh - ho

2. The Fixx. Red Skies.
Red skies at night
Wo oh oh oh oh
Red skies at night
Wo oh oh oh oh

Should have taken warning it's just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can't find, find a place to go

Red skies at night
Wo oh

Should have taken warning it's just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can't find, find a place to go

Red skies at night
Wo oh
Red skies at night
Wo oh oh

Someone's taking over
And it look like they're aiming
Right at you
Someone said we'll be dead by morning
Someone cries leaving

Red skies at night
Wo oh oh

3. Rocket Launcher by Bruce Cockburn.
Here comes the helicopter -- second time today
Everybody scatters and hopes it goes away
How many kids they've murdered only God can say
If I had a rocket launcher...I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate
I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states
And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate

On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait
To fall down from starvation -- or some less humane fate
Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate

I want to raise every voice -- at least I've got to try
Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes.
Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry
If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a bitch would die

4. Misunderstood by The Animals
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that
All I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do

'cause I love you
Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
Have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Yes, I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

7. I was listening to that on the drive to work today.
I also like, "Battles Without Honor or Humanity". Which
coincidentally is on the same CD.

9. Cover of the Rolling Stone (Dr Hook & the Medicine Show)
Edited on Fri Aug-05-05 01:18 PM by Richardo
Thanks to Prag... :yourock:

Ha, ha, ha, I don't believe it
Da, da, ah, ooh, don't touch me
Hey, Ray!
Hey, Sugar!
Tell them who we are .....

Well, we're big rock singers
We've got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
For ten-thousand dollars a show (right)
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get ya when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone)Wanna buy five copies for my mother (yeah)
(Stone)Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone (that's a very, very, good idea)

I got a freaky ole lady name a cocaine Katy
Who embroideries on my jeans
I got my poor old grey haired daddy
Drivin' my limosine
Now, it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll get ya when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling Stone) Wanna see our pictures on the cover
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for our mothers (yeah)
(Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Hey, I know how, rock and roll!!)

< horrible guitar solo here >

(Ah, that's beautiful)

We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian Guru
Who's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Rolling Stone) Wanna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) Wanna buy five copies for my mother (I want one!)
(Stone) Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
On the cover of the Rolling Stone

(Man, I don't know why we ain't on the cover, Baby)
(We're beautiful people)
(I ain't kiddin', why, we would make a beautiful cover
(Fresh shot, right up front, man)
(I can see it now, we'll be up on the front)
(Smilin', man ...... ahh, beautiful!)

11. Do the Strand (Roxy Music)
There's a new sensation
A fabulous creation
A danceable solution
To teenage revolution

Do the Strand love
When you feel love
It's the new way
That's why we say
Do the Strand

Do it on the tables
Quaglino's place or Mabel's
Slow and gentle
Sentimental
All styles served here
Louis Seize he prefer
Laissez-faire Le Strand

Tired of the tango
Fed up with fandango
Dance on moonbeams
Slide on rainbows
In furs or blue jeans
You know what I mean
Do the Strand

Had your fill of Quadrilles
The Madison and cheap thrills
Bored with the Beguine
The samba isn't your scene

They're playing our tune
By the pale moon
We're incognito
Down the Lido
And we like the Strand

Arabs at oasis
Eskimos and Chinese

If you feel blue
Look through who's Who
See La Goulue
And Nijinsky
Do the Strandsky
Weary of the Waltz
And mashed potato schmaltz
Rhododendron
Is a nice flower
Evergreenin'
It lasts forever
But it can't beat Strand power
The Sphynx and Mona Lisa
Lolita and Guernica
Did the Strand

13. Wishing Well
A band came into the studio a week or so ago and recorded this and I can't get it out of my head.
It was by Free

Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Spend all your time singin' your blues.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.

You've always been a good friend of mine,
but you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself.
Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Put up a fight you believe to be right,
and one day the sun will shine through.

You've always got somethin' to hide.
Somethin' you just can't tell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
is with your feet in the wishing well.
In the wishing well.

But I know what you're wishing for.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.
Love in a peaceful world.

You've always been a good friend of mine,
but you always say farewell.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
is with your feet in the wishing well.

In the wishing well.
In the wishing well.
Everybody's got a dream.
And they take it to the wishing well.
Everybody's got a dream.
Wishing well.
