    Default My Favorite Song Lyrics

    "Starry, starry night.
    Paint your palette blue and grey,
    Look out on a summer's day,
    With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
    Shadows on the hills,
    Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
    Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
    In colors on the snowy linen land.

    Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
    How you suffered for your sanity,
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen, they did not know how.
    Perhaps they'll listen now.

    Starry, starry night.
    Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
    Swirling clouds in violet haze,
    Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
    Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
    Weathered faces lined in pain,
    Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

    Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
    How you suffered for your sanity,
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen, they did not know how.
    Perhaps they'll listen now.

    For they could not love you,
    But still your love was true.
    And when no hope was left in sight
    On that starry, starry night,
    You took your life, as lovers often do.
    But I could have told you, Vincent,
    This world was never meant for one
    As beautiful as you.

    Starry, starry night.
    Portraits hung in empty halls,
    Frameless head on nameless walls,
    With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
    Like the strangers that you've met,
    The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
    The silver thorn of bloody rose,
    Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

    Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
    How you suffered for your sanity,
    How you tried to set them free.
    They would not listen, they're not listening still.
    Perhaps they never will." (c) Don McLean, "Vincent"

    Babooska, Kate Bush

    She wanted to test her husband.
    She knew exactly what to do:
    A pseudonym to fool him.
    She couldn't have made a worse move.

    She sent him scented letters,
    And he received them with a strange delight.
    Just like his wife
    But how she was before the tears,
    And how she was before the years flew by,
    And how she was when she was beautiful.
    She signed the letter

    "All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
    All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"

    She wanted to take it further,
    So she arranged a place to go,
    To see if he
    Would fall for her incognito.
    And when he laid eyes on her,
    He got the feeling they had met before.
    Uncanny how she
    Reminds him of his little lady,
    Capacity to give him all he needs,
    Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
    Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
    He shouted out, "I'm

    All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
    All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
    All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"



    без ее голоса малость не то, конечно...

    а вот простая и оч милая песенка :P

    Pete Seeger and The Weavers - Kisses Sweeter Than Wine

    Well, when I was a young man never been kissed
    I got to thinkin' it over how much I had missed
    So I got me a girl and I kissed her and then, and then
    Oh, lord, well I kissed 'er again

    Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
    She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
    (Sweeter than wine)

    Well I asked her to marry and to be my sweet wife
    I told her we'd be so happy for the rest of our life
    I begged and I pleaded like a natural man
    And then, whoops oh lord, well she gave me her hand

    Well we worked very hard both me and my wife
    Workin' hand-in-hand to have a good life
    We had corn in the field and wheat in the bin
    And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins

    Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
    She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
    (Sweeter than wine)

    Well our children they numbered just about four
    And they all had a sweetheart a'knockin' on the door
    They all got married and they wouldn't hesitate
    I was, whoops oh lord, the grandfather of eight

    Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
    She had, mmm, mmm, kisses sweeter than wine
    (Sweeter than wine)

    Well now that I'm old and I'm a'ready to go
    I get to thinkin' what happened a long time ago
    Had a lot of kids, a lot of trouble and pain
    But then, whoops oh lord, well I'd do it all again

    Because she had kisses sweeter than wine
    She had, mmm? kisses sweeter than wine

    "Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

    Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
    Vanished from my hand,
    Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
    My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
    I have no one to meet
    And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

    Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
    My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
    My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
    To be wanderin'.
    I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
    Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
    I promise to go under it.

    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

    Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,
    It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
    And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
    And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
    To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
    I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
    Seein' that he's chasing.

    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

    Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
    Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
    The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
    Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
    Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
    Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
    With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
    Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
    Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you." (c)

    Round, like a circle in a spiral
    Like a wheel within a wheel.
    Never ending or beginning,
    On an ever spinning wheel
    Like a snowball down a mountain
    Or a carnaval balloon
    Like a carousell that's turning
    Running rings around the moon

    Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
    Past the minutes on it's face
    And the world is like an apple
    Whirling silently in space
    Like the circles that you find
    In the windmills of your mind

    Like a tunnel that you follow
    To a tunnel of it's own
    Down a hollow to a cavern
    Where the sun has never shone
    Like a door that keeps revolving
    In a half forgotten dream
    Or the ripples from a pebble
    Someone tosses in a stream.

    Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
    Past the minutes on it's face
    And the world is like an apple
    Whirling silently in space
    Like the circles that you find
    In the windmills of your mind

    Keys that jingle in your pocket
    Words that jangle your head
    Why did summer go so quickly
    Was it something that I said
    Lovers walking allong the shore,
    Leave their footprints in the sand
    Was the sound of distant drumming
    Just the fingers of your hand

    Pictures hanging in a hallway
    And a fragment of this song
    Half remembered names and faces
    But to whom do they belong
    When you knew that it was over
    Were you suddenly aware
    That the autumn leaves were turning
    To the color of her hair

    Like a circle in a spiral
    Like a wheel within a wheel
    Never ending or beginning,
    On an ever spinning wheel
    As the images unwind
    Like the circle that you find
    In the windmills of your mind

    Pictures hanging in a hallway
    And the fragment of this song
    Half remembered names and faces
    But to whom do they belong
    When you knew that it was over
    Were you suddenly aware
    That the autumn leaves were turning
    To the color of her hair

    Like a circle in a spiral
    Like a wheel within a wheel
    Never ending or beginning,
    On an ever spinning wheel
    As the images unwind
    Like the circles that you find
    In the windmills of your mind
    Улыбайтесь чаще! Это всех раздражает! (с)

    No more champagne
    And the fireworks are through
    Here we are, me and you
    Feeling lost and feeling blue
    It's the end of the party
    And the morning seems so grey
    So unlike yesterday
    Now's the time for us to say...

    Happy new year
    Happy new year
    May we all have a vision now and then
    Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
    Happy new year
    Happy new year
    May we all have our hopes, our will to try
    If we don't we might as well lay down and die
    You and I

    Sometimes I see
    How the brave new world arrives
    And I see how it thrives
    In the ashes of our lives
    Oh yes, man is a fool
    And he thinks he'll be okay
    Dragging on, feet of clay
    Never knowing he's astray
    Keeps on going anyway...

    Happy new year
    Happy new year
    May we all have a vision now and then
    Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
    Happy new year
    Happy new year
    May we all have our hopes, our will to try
    If we don't we might as well lay down and die
    You and I

    Seems to me now
    That the dreams we had before
    Are all dead, nothing more
    Than confetti on the floor
    It's the end of a decade
    In another ten years time
    Who can say what we'll find
    What lies waiting down the line
    In the end of eighty-nine...

    Happy new year
    Happy new year
    May we all have a vision now and then
    Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
    Happy new year
    Happy new year
    May we all have our hopes, our will to try
    If we don't we might as well lay down and die
    You and I

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
    But the very next day you gave it away
    This year, to save me from tears
    I'll give it to someone special

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
    But the very next day you gave it away
    This year, to save me from tears
    I'll give it to someone special

    Once bitten and twice shy
    I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
    Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
    Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

    I wrapped it up and sent it
    With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
    Now I know what a fool I've been
    But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
    But the very next day you gave it away
    This year, to save me from tears
    I'll give it to someone special

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
    But the very next day you gave it away
    This year, to save me from tears
    I'll give it to someone special

    Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
    I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
    My god I thought you were someone to rely on
    Me?, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

    A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
    A man under cover but you tore me apart
    Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
    But the very next day you gave it away
    This year, to save me from tears
    I'll give it to someone special

    Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
    But the very next day you gave it away
    This year, to save me from tears
    I'll give it to someone special

    A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
    A man under cover but you tore him apart
    Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
    I'll give it to someone special, special
    Someone, someone,
    I'll give it to someone
    I'll give it to someone special
    Who'd give me something in return

    I'll give it to someone
    Hold my heart and watch it burn

    I'll give it to someone
    I'll give it to someone special
    I thought you here to stay
    How can love be for a day

    I thought you were someone special
    I gave you my heart

    I'll give it to someone
    I'll give it to someone

    Last Christmas I gave you my heart
    You gave it away

    I'll give it to someone
    I'll give it to someone
    La la la la .....
    Da la da la ....

    "One and one-half wandering Jews
    Free to wander wherever they choose
    Are traveling together
    In the Sangre de Christo
    The Blood of Christ Mountains
    Of New Mexico
    On the last leg of a journey
    They started a long time ago
    The arc of a love affair
    Rainbows in the high desert air
    Mountain passes
    Slipping into stone
    Hearts and bones
    Hearts and bones
    Hearts and bones

    Thinking back to the season before
    Looking back through the cracks in the door
    Two people were married
    The act was outrageous
    The bride was contagious
    She burned like a bride
    These events may have had some effect
    On the man with the girl by his side
    The arc of a love affair
    His hands rolling down her hair
    Love like lightning shaking till it moans
    Hearts and bones
    Hearts and bones
    Hearts and bones

    And whoa whoa
    She said why?
    Why don’t we drive through the night
    And we’ll wake up down in
    Mexico
    Oh I
    Oh, I – I don’t know nothin’ about nothin’
    About Mexico
    And tell me why
    Why won’t you love me
    For who I am
    Where I am

    He said: ‘cause that’s not the way the world is baby
    This is how I love you baby
    This is how I love you baby

    One and one-half wandering Jews
    Returned to their natural coasts
    To resume old acquaintances
    Step out occasionally
    And speculate who had been damaged the most
    Easy time will determine if these consolations
    Will be their reward
    The arc of a love affair
    Waiting to be restored
    You take two bodies and you twirl them into one
    Their hearts and their bones
    And they won’t come undone
    Hearts and bones
    Hearts and bones
    Hearts and bones" (c) Paul Simon, "Hearts and Bones"
