1. I love the Moody Blues

but I can think of about 50 Moody Blues songs that are better than that one.

********************************************

When I took a little loving from you
Oh i, never thought about the hurting inside
But I took a little more than I should
Oh why, can’t explain that I ever would
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn

But I took a little more of your each day
When I didn’t see that I was breaking you apart
With angry words of love I didn’t mean
Oh why, can’t believe that I ever would
Talk myself out of tomorrow
Talked like a fool to yesterday
And as the evening loses colour
Your love began to fade away

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn

Talking out of turn
Talking out of turn

If I upset you
I didn’t mean to hurt you
I didn’t mean to make you cry
I don’t need an alibi
To start me talking out of turn

When I took a little loving from you
Oh i, can’t believe that I ever would
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
I would appreciate you knowing
I thought your love had come to stay

Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn
Talking out of turn
Shot to pieces
When will I learn

4. My First Band ...

... circa 1981 ...

We began one of my utterly forgettable songs with the poetic introduction to In Search of the Lost Chord presented as old-skool rap. (The poem was the one beginning with "Be it sight, or sound, or smell, or touch / There's something inside we need so much ...")

--p!
Older. Wiser. Sadder. Looking for more acid.

It doesn't matter to me
Am Bb
Chasing the clouds away

Something calls to me

The trees are calling me near

I've got to find out why

Those gentle voices I hear

Explain it all with a sigh

6. the story in your eyes

Am D
I've been thinking about our fortune
Am D
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
Am D
For the love that's deep inside us now
G C G
It's still the same

Am D
And the sound we make together
Am D
Is the music to the story in your eyes
Am D
It's been shining down upon us now
G C G
I realize

Em F#m
Listen to the tide slowly turning
G F#m F#
Wash all our heartaches away
A Bm A
We're part of the fire that is burning
G D E
From the ashes we can build another day


But I'm frightened for our children

And the lives that we are living are in vain

And the sunshine we've been waiting for

Will turn to rain


And when the final line is over

And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall

I can hide inside your sweet sweet love

Forever more

7. ride my see saw

A
Ride..., ride my see-saw,
G A
Take this place on this trip just for me.
A
Ride..., take a free ride,
G A
Take my place, have my seat, it's for free.


A G D A
I worked like a slave for years,
A G D A
Sweat so hard just to end my fears,
A G D A
Not to end my life a poor man,
G A
But by now, I know I should have run.


A
Run..., run my last race,
G A
Take my place, have this number of mine.
A
Run..., run like a fire,
G A
But don't you run in, in the lanes, run for time.


A G D A
Left school with a first-class pass,
A G D A
Started work but as second class.
A G D A
School taught one and one is two,
G A
But by now, that answer just ain't true.






A G D A
My world is spinning around,
A G D A
Everything is lost that I found,
A G D A
People run, come ride with me,
G A
Let's find another place that's free...


A
Ride..., ride my see-saw,
G A
Take this place on this trip just for me.
A
Ride..., take a free ride,
G A
Take my place, have my seat, it's for free.


A
Ride my see-saw.
A G A G A
Ride.., ride..., ride..., my see-saw.
A G A
Ride my see-saw.
A G A
Ride my see-saw.

8. Question Of Balance .... Breathe Deep ...

[cleofus1]

13. cue london symphony orchestra

Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
Energy spent
Empassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young
Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion

[emanymton]

14. Some Of The Finest Music Of _My_ Lifetime. Thanks To Moody Blues.

[emanymton]

15. And To Think, It Started With "Go Now."

[cleofus1]

9. sigh

Em D Em D
Nights in white satin never reaching the end
C G F Em
Letters I've written never meaning to send
Em D Em D
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before
C G F Em
Just what the truth is I can't say anymore


CHORUS
A C
Cause I love you, yes I love you
Em D Em D
Ohhh how I love you


Gazing at people, some hand in hand
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be, you'll be in the end


CHORUS

12. one of my favorite love songs

G Dm
My boat sails stormy seas,
C G
Battles oceans filled with tears.
Dm
At last my port's in view
C G
Now that I've discovered you.


C Em
Oh, I'd give my life so lightly
Am Em
For my gentle lady.
Dm G
Give it freely, and completely
C
To my lady.

As life goes drifting by,
Like a breeze she'll gently sigh.
And slowly bow her head,
Then you'll hear her softly cry.

Oh, I'd give my life so lightly...

Fm C
Words that you say when we're alone,
Fm C
But actions speak louder than words.
Fm C
But all I can say is, "I love you so."
Dm G
Drive away all my hurt.

Oh, I'd give my life so lightly...

Set sail before the sun,
Feel the warmth that's just begun.
Share each and every dream,
They belong to every one.

Oh, I'd give my life so lightly...
