Been on a 'Dan kick of late--the supremely awesome Aja has been my soundtrack this past week. But anyway:

REELIN' IN THE YEARS Lyrics
Artist: Steely Dan

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I can't understand

CHORUS:
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand

CHORUS

I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I can't understand

CHORUS

BLACK COW Lyrics
Artist: Steely Dan

In the corner
Of my eye
I saw you in Rudy's
You were very high
You were high
It was a cryin' disgrace
They saw your face

On the counter
By your keys
Was a book of numbers
And your remedies
One of these
Surely will screen out the sorrow
But where are you tomorrow

I can't cry anymore
While you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it's
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

Down to Greene Street
There you go
Lookin' so outrageous
And they tell you so
You should know
How all the pros play the game
You change your name

Like a gangster
On the run
You will stagger homeward
To your precious one
I'm the one
Who must make everything right
Talk it out till daylight

I don't care anymore
Why you run around
Break away
Just when it
Seems so clear
That it's
Over now
Drink your big black cow
And get out of here

But I'm also a jazzer:

SOPHISTICATED LADY Lyrics
Artist: Billie Holiday

Duke Ellington / Mitchell Parish / Irving Mills

They say into your early life romance came
And this heart of yours burned a flame
A flame that flickered one day and died away
Then, with disilution deep in your eyes
You learned that fools in love soon grow wise
The years have changed you, somehow
I see you now
Smoking, drinking, never thinking of tomorrow, nonchalant
Diamonds shining, dancing, dining with some man in a restaurant
Is that all you really want?
No, sophisticated lady,
I know, you miss the love you lost long ago
And when nobody is nigh you cry

HOW HIGH THE MOON Lyrics
Artist: Ella Fitzgerald

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you

Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon

And a little of some other stuff:

LADY IN RED Lyrics
Artist: Chris DeBurgh

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget, the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you.)

MOONDANCE Lyrics
Artist: Van Morrison

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
’neath the cover of october skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I’m trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night’s magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush

Chorus:
Can I just have one a’ more moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love

Well, I wanna make love to you tonight
I can’t wait ’til the morning has come
And I know that the time is just right
And straight into my arms you will run
And when you come my heart will be waiting
To make sure that you’re never alone
There and then all my dreams will come true, dear
There and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside
And I know how much you want me that you can’t hide

Chorus

Repeat 1st verse

One more moondance with you in the moonlight
On a magic night
La, la, la, la in the moonlight
On a magic night
Can’t I just have one more dance with you my love

******

Can't beat musical eclecticism. :D

Your turns.

1. So that's where you've been....

(Not the song, I've just been worrying about my sister....)

Here's the song:



Holiday, by Madonna:

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

Chorus:

If we took a holiday Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life, It would be, it would be so nice

Everybody spread the word We're gonna have a celebration
All across the world In every nation
It's time for the good times Forget about the bad times, oh yeah
One day to come together To release the pressure
We need a holiday

(chorus)
Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

You can turn this world around And bring back
all of those happy days
Put your troubles down It's time to celebrate
Let love shine And we will find A way to come together
And make things better We need a holiday

(chorus)
Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

(chorus)

Holiday Celebrate
Holiday Celebrate

Holiday, Celebration
Come together in every nation

3. If I post will it go away?

Another Cup of Coffee
Mike and the Mechanics

And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As she contemplates the stain across the wall
And it’s in between the cleaning and the washing
That’s when looking back’s
The hardest part of all

And she always did her best to try and please him
While he always did his best to make her cry
And she got down on her knees to stop him leaving
But he always knew one day he’d say goodbye

Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone

And he tears the business tags from his old suitcase
As he packs away the pieces of his life
They all love him but they always try to change him
That’s what happens when a girl becomes a wife

And she pours herself another cup of coffee
As the pictures leave a clean space on the wall
And it’s in between the leaving and the loving
That’s when looking back’s
The hardest part of all

Where are your friends
Where are your children
Is this your house
Is this your home
Does nothing ever last forever
Does everybody sleep alone

Don’t look back
Don’t give up
Pour yourself another cup

[WritingIsMyReligion]

9. *reaches for gun*

I kid, I kid! :D

But that effing song....

:grr::grr:

[MiniMandaRuth]

11. Another song where I die a little on the inside

every time I hear it...

no, no... Flames are not enough.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

13. It's just SUCH a stupid, stupid, STUPID song....

And yet it was so effing popular, at least around here, for like three months.... A local "Top 40" radio station does the "Interactive 8 at 8" every weeknight, where they play the top 8 songs of the day. I swear to gosh, "My Humps" was number 1 every single night for a month straight, at least. The DJs wouldn't even bother to announce it anymore...Everyone knew....

:grr:

[miss_american_pie]

12. That's evil!

:spank:

[ZombieNixon]

14. Aw, herk no!

You're going to so get herked for that one! All herk's about to break loose! :grr: :D
