Serenade The Person Above You

Poetry Girl - Eric Benet

Sing to me...

She was a poetry girl I adored
Late at night I'd hear songs from her window
Myrrh and frankincense seeped through her door
And they lingered on

As her fingers caressed her guitar
Felt like the strings of my heart she was strumming
With her words we made love from afar
As she sang her song

They were songs of change, joy and pain
All the love she made
Like she took the words from
Every dream I've known, every love outgrown
Singing on and on, like she took the words from my heart

And to the poetry girl down the hall
Late at night I would answer her calling
Like the lyrics from one of her songs
She made love to me

Now our bodies and souls intertwined
On the wings of passion we were soaring
Then by the flickering candle at night
She would sing to me

the two sides of monsieur valentine - spoon

Every morning I've got a new chance
I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
Cause he gets to swordfight the duke
He kidnaps the queen
And you think the score's set but you can't truly see
Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine

Every morning I pull on them pants
Mmm but I don't get out so much since I acquired St. Vitus dance
I turn the news on a while
I practice my scene
You think things are straight but they're not what they seem
Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
In his coat and his boots and his blackheart machine
No, no one knows the two sides of Monsieur Valentine

Every morning I've got a new chance
I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
He makes love to the duke
He swordfights the queen
He steals the whole show in his last dying scene
No one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
No, no one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
No one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
Mmm hmmm mmm hmm hmm hmm
 
Lady in Red - Chris De Burgh

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 for get, 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.)
 
where have all the rude boys gone? - ted leo & the pharmacists

it's times like these when a neck looks for a knife,
a wrist for a razor, a heart is longing for bullets.
tension is high under sea and over sky.
pressure drop, people are acting foolish.
ooh - but it's easy to see!
ooh - we could dance and be free.
ooh - to that 2-tone beat!
but it looks like it's gone...
gangsters and clowns with a stereotyped sound
it's coming like a ghosst town - someone always knew it.
hatred and shame, a racialist game
cycles of blame - someone sang me through it.
who? well it's easy to see.
ooh - we could dance to be free.
ooh - to that 2-tone beat!
but it looks like it's gone...
i asked jerry, he told terry, terry sang a song just for me,
lynvall gave a message to me,
rhoda screamed and then she asked me,
"where have all the rude boys gone?"

You are my joy - The reindeer section

I won't leave you out of my will
But I will leave you out of my mind - for now

I won't be there to break your sweet heart
But not being there might break your sweet heart

You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy

If I could cradle you into my arms
I would cradle you tight in my arms - always

So don't be scared of all the hurtful words
Cause in the end they'll hurt themselves much more

You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy

You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy
You are my joy - you are my joy
 
mojo pin - jeff buckley

I'm lying in my bed
The blanket is warm
This body will never be
Safe from harm
Still feel your hair
Black ribbons of coal
Touch my skin
To keep me whole....

Oh...if only you'd come back to me..
If you laid at my side...
Wouldn't need no Mojo Pin
To keep me satisfied...

Don't wanna weep for you
Don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured
The white horses flow (horse has flown)
Memories fire
The rhythms fall slow
Black beauty I love you so....

Uh precious precious silver and gold
And pearls in oyster's flesh
Drop down we two to serve and pray to love
Born again from the rhythm
Screaming down from heaven
Ageless, ageless and I'm there in your arms......

Don't wanna weep for you
I don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured
The white horses flow
The memories fire
The rhythms fall slow..
Black beauty I love you so....so..so..so...

Dah........

Oh the welts of your scorn, my love
Give me more
Send whips of opinion down my back
Give me more
Well it's you I've waited my life to see
It's you I've searched so hard for....

Don't wanna weep for you
Don't wanna know
I'm blind and tortured
The white horses flow (horse has flown)
The memories fire
The rhythms fall slow..
 
The Rhythm - the cat empire

And for all of the sweet loving that
I have received
in the sun in the rain
by the moon by the sea
there is one time that I'm thinking of
one time where one woman
did knock me off my feet
and my knees were shaking
and my jaw was dropping
and my eyes were squinting
and my smile was growing
and my pants were bulging
and my hands were sweating
and my chest was beating
so I cry ‘excuse me,
what is the secret to your song?'


Cause when you're walking along
when you're walking along…


Your legs are a melody my hands
would like to play
and your hips are a note
that does take me away
and your face and your eyes and your hair
and your waist and your smile
drive me to distraction
she turned and she gave the evil eye
‘why thankyou' she said
then she sigh ‘ah there's one thing
I think you failed to mention…'
‘What?' I said then she said
‘It's the rhythm you forgot'
and right then I knew what was what
and she snuck to my lips
and she kissed them
said ‘young man
I'll show you some rhythm'


And she'll show you some rhythm


And since then ha
the rhythm's been running through my veins
in my thoughts in my eyes
in my head it's insane
it's the thing that does drive me
to scream
on the street when I think of some
places it's taken me
I feel horny when I thinking of some of that rhythm in my mind
what she gave what she gives to me
all of the time
say a little bit of sweet loving in your day
all my friends know it keeps the
bad thoughts away
so sing with your hips my baby
when you're dancing to this tune
and when this tune is through
we'll sneak to some place
and continue to…
say sing with your hips my baby
when you're dancing to this tune
and when this tune is through
we'll sneak to some place and
continue to –
she said I'll show you some rhythm


And she'll show you some rhythm
 
action - clem snide

Love can be hard but it was so smart of you
Cause if you spend too much time
Alone in your mind you're through
And if the bedroom feels cold
Then we can unfold tonight
And your hand I will kiss
So unclench that fist it's so tight

You're everything I want to do
'Cause when there's love there's action

Give it away
Don't make me pay
And you're free
And if you're alone just pick up the phone it's me
I'll bring nothin' to eat
But I can tickle your fee
'Til you smile
I know they're closing the store
But let's lay on the floor a while

You're everything I want to do
'Cause when there's love ther's action

Give me a shove and I'll fall in love
Don't wait
'cause if a civil war buff
Can love a diamond in the ruff it's great

You're everything I want to do
'Cause when there's love ther's action
 
If you find yourself caught in love - Belle and Sebastian


If you find yourself caught in love
Say a prayer to the man above
Thank him for everything you know
You should thank him for every breath you blow
If you find yourself caught in love
Say a prayer to the man above
Thank him for every day you pass
You should Thank him for saving your sorry ass
If you’re single, but looking out
You must raise your prayer to a shout
Another partner must be found
Someone to take your life beyond
Another TV “I Love 1999”
Just one more box of cheapo wine
If you find yourself caught in love
say a prayer to the man above
But If you don’t listen to the voices then my friend
You’ll soon run out of choices
What a pity it would be
You talk of freedom don’t you see
The only freedom that you’ll ever really know
Is written in books from long ago
Give up your will to Him that loves you
Things will change, I’m not saying overnight
You’ve gotta start somewhere
Start by kidding on you care
If you find yourself out of love
Shed a tear for the one you love
Tell your boss that you’ve gone away
Down your tools for a holiday
But If you’re going off to war then I wish you well
But don’t be sore
If I cheer the other team
Killing people’s not my scene
I prefer to give the inhabitants a say
Before you blow their town away
I like to watch them play
I like to marvel at the random beauty of a simple village girl
Why should she be the one who’s killed?

If you find yourself caught in love...
 
forever, now and then - clem snide

I dreamt of an ocean blue
Underwater you and me
Let's not swim to shore
Just float forever more

We could hide behind the sun
Where no one will upset our fun
Let's take of our shoes
And dance away the blues

Was your sweet kiss just a dream
So real the taste of tangerine
You are my best friend
Forever, now and then
 
Hey there Delilah - Plain White T's

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.
 
The Ballad Of Optimus Prime - the great Luke Ski


To this planet called earth came a pacifist being
And his clan, who taught us things aren't always as seemed.
There was no one as wise and courageous and swell,
As the space hero whose tale I'm about to tell.


Took his troops into battle to fight all their foes.
Leading good against evil, and everyone knows
When his back's 'gainst the wall and he'd run out of luck,
He'd flip his body parts 'round and change into a truck.


Now I'll sing you the ballad of Optimus Prime.
He was the greatest Transformer there were of all time.
He was a big rig, a robot, and a really nice guy.
He was proof that a hero's more than meets the eye.



Born Orion Pax back on ol' CyberTron,
Well not born, more like built by some darn Quintesson.
After a needed upgrade from Alpha Trion,
The Leadership Matrix to him was passed on.


It was each Autobot versus Decepticon,
And their leader, that vicious gun called MegaTron.
In a space dogfight race to find more Energon,
It was our ancient planet that they crashed upon.

(spoken)
Earl: Uh, what's a 'pon'?
Luke: No no no, not a 'pon'. "Upon."
Earl: Whaaa?
Luke: You know, like, "Upon far, over there…"
Earl: Hooo! There's a PON-FAR going on over there?!?
Luke: No no no no! Wrong universe! Let's just get back to the song!
Earl: Oh, damn!


They were brought back online in 1984,
Reconfigured to blend in with Chevys and Fords.
Fighting evil on Earth, to this credo they stick, it's
Freedom for all beings, and avoid parking tickets.


Prime fought Megatron many times, and it rocked.
As a pistol, he was always going off half-cocked.
And when Prime's fisticuffs had been takin' it's tollin'
He'd shove his long barrel up Prime's Semi colon.

(spoken)
Luke: Now that's what I call taking it up the tailpipe!
Earl: Ooohh! Luke, that pun was so bad it makes me want to throw myself into the, the Grand Canyon!
Luke: So that would make you a Cliff-Jumper?
Earl: Aw, Jeez! One more like that, and I will blast you from here to the Loch Ness.
Luke: Well, that's a Grim-Lock!… Oh, come on Earl, you're a filk star, you can handle it!
Earl: Luke, it's enough to make any Star-Scream!
Luke: (As StarScream:) PATHETIC FOOLS!!! THERE IS NO ESCAPE!!!


Then in 2005, they fought their final bout.
With his last ounce of strength, he knocked MegaTron out.
On his death bed poor Optimus Prime there was laid,
Just so Hasbro could sell the new toys they had made.


Then the optics went dim on that great space invader.
Spike cursed to the skies, but it was edited later.
The new prophesized leader, Hot Rod, he was chosen.
We wanted John Wayne, and they gave us Judd Nelson!


(with "The Nick Atoms" singing along:)
Now I'll sing you the ballad of Optimus Prime.
He was the greatest Transformer there were of all time.
He was a big rig, a robot, and a really nice guy.
He was proof that a hero's more than meets the eye.


("The Nick Atoms" sing "Ooooh..."s in background)
Hot Rod versus Galvatron ain't quite the same.
Even those who loved them thought it was comparatively lame.
So we mourned for the deaths of our brave fighting robots.
The alternative? Go home and play with some… GO-BOTS?!?!?!

(spoken in unison, yelling in agony)
Luke: NOOO!!! NOT LEADER-ONE! TURBO! CY-KILL! THAT SCOOTER THING! OH MY GOD! UNICRON KILL ME NOW!!!…
Earl: OOOOH, NOOOO!!! NOOO NOOO! OH MY- …TONKA COULDN'T SELL ANYTHING BUT A DUMP TRUCK 'CAUSE THEY HAD TO MAKE THESE KNOCK-OFFS! OH MY GOD! …GOBOTRON MY ASS!!!


Resurrected by forces they don't understand.
A powerful hate plague they call 'fan-demand'
From his grave-ship soon Optimus Prime then arose
To save us from lame toys with lamer kid's shows.


Those Headmaster / Beast Machines might confuse me,
But with Prime back in charge, it's all good you'll agree.
Now immortal, his red and bold chassy is seen
On DVD, Ebay, and Toyfare magazine!

(with "The Nick Atoms" singing along:)
Now I'll sing you the ballad of Optimus Prime.
He was the greatest Transformer there were of all time.
He was a big rig, a robot, and a really nice guy.
He was proof that a hero is…

(guitar does Transformer Theme Music Riff)
…more than meets the eye!!!

(spoken)
Luke: Autobots! Transform and roll out! (Transform Sound Effect with his voice)
 
Bah bah bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Pressure pressing down on me
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Bah bah bah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bah bah

Thats o-kay!
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people

Do do do bah bah bah bah
O-kay
Chippin around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains it pours
People on streets
People on streets

Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
People people on streets
Turned away from it all
Like a blind man
Sat on fence but it dont work
Keep coming up with love
But its so slashed and torn
Why why why?
Love love love love

Insanity laughs under pressure were cracking
Cant we give ourselves one more chance?
Why cant we give love one more chance?
Why cant we give love give love give love?
Give love give love give love give love give love
Cause loves such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care
For people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure pressure

small stakes
give you the blues
but you don't feel taken
don't think you've been used
cause it's alright Friday night to Sunday
it feels alright keeps your mind on the page
oh yeah small stakes ensure you the minimum blues
but you don't feel taken and you don't feel abused
small stakes tell you that there's nothing can do
can't think big, can't think past one or two and alright!
yeah alright!
me and my friends
sell ourselves
short but feel
very well
we feel fine
aw we feel fine
and small time danger in your midsize car
I don't dig the stripes but I'll go for har mar
the big innovation on the minimum wage
is lines up your nose but your life on the page so c'mon
tell me I'm wrong
small stakes
will kill me
when you're stuck
in back of the line
it feels alright Friday night to Sunday
aw it feels alright keeps your mind on the page
and small stakes bring you where you're caught in a rut
you feel so uptight you just want to throw it all up
and small stakes leave you with the minimum blues
can't think big, can't think past one or two so c'mon

not turning off - spoon

;)

She's gone in a word, and tanked-up
and i can't sleep at all, i can't sleep at all
she's gone in a word, the ephedrine
got caught halfway down, the pretty anti-ground
don't wanna miss such an american scene
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
i said to myself i'm not turning off
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
there's something about, you're up late
your can tastes like tin, aluminum
there's something about, i'm not the only one
that can't sleep at all
that can't sleep at all
and i don't want to miss such an american scene
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
i said to myself i'm not turning off
well i said to myself i'm not turning off
and i said to myself i'm not turning off
so connect, connect, connect, connect to me
connect, connect, connect, connect to me
oh honey, oh please it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
oh honey, oh please, it's just a machine
it's just a machine
 
If I leave here tomorrow,
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on now,
Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stay here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same,
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.

Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-ohhh,
And the bird you can not change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye-bye, baby, it's been a sweet love, yeah, yeah.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it so badly,
Cause the Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stay here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.

Oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-oh-oo-ohhh,
And the bird you can not change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord, help me, I can't change!

Lord, I can't change.
Won't you fly high, free bird? Yeah!
 
my name is jonas - weezer

(I had to pick it - for the tea bit.)

My name is Jonas
I'm carrying the wheel
Thanks for all you've shown us
But this is how we feel
Come sit next to me
Pour yourself some tea
Just like grandma made
When we couldn't find sleep
Things were better then
Once but never again
We've all left the den
Let me tell you 'bout it

The choo-choo train left right on time
A ticket costs only your mind
The driver said, 'Hey man, we go all the way'
Of course we were willing to pay

My name is Wepeel
I gotta box full of your toys
They're fresh out of batteries
But they're still makin' noise (makin' noise)
Tell me what to do
Now the tank is dry
Now this wheel is flat
And you know what else?
Guess what I received
In the mail today
Words of deep concern
From my little brother

The building's not going as he planned
The foreman has injured his hand
The dozer will not clear a path
The driver swears he learned his math

The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
Yeah!

The workers are going home
The workers are going home
The workers are going home
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

My name is Jonas
 
The Ideal girl in London from France
Came over then left me
She left me entranced
Now I have to get by once again on my own
Nothing but memories

So I remember your eyes that unique shade of brown
While these blue eyes of mine they stay closed
I kissed you goodbye
On the M109 I choked as I watched the bus go

Choking and smoking to your angelic soul
choking and smoking myself into a hole
Where the only way out is to sleep and to dream
And to cry out your name.
