Has my status in the lounge declined?

I used to be cock of the walk, but lately i have been cock of nothing. :( This is a deteroriating situation, and if it continues, I may have to start posting several lyric threads daily, finding the most melancholy 70s era rock ballads only to post. :evilfrown:

Just remember, this is the fault of all those who shunned my company and treated me like the proverbial cyber-leper that they see within themselves. So when bad lyric threads start popping up all over the lounge like pyscilobin mushrooms on a dairy farm, don't whine to me.

:hi:

I've been down so long, down don't bother me

:shrug:

:shrug:

thanks for that - i don't do enough yakof impressions. :rofl:

without you, yakov smirnov would be long forgotten :hi:

You Don't Bring Me Flowers
Barbra Streisand & Neil Diamond
- written by Neil Diamond, Alan Bergman and Marilyn Bergman

You don't bring me flowers
You don't sing me love songs
You hardly talk to me anymore
When you come through the door
At the end of the day

I remember when
You couldn't wait to love me
Used to hate to leave me
Now after lovin' me late at night
When it's good for you
And you're feeling alright
Well you just roll over
And you turn out the light
And you don't bring me flowers anymore

It used to be so natural
To talk about forever
But 'used to be's' don't count anymore
They just lay on the floor
'Til we sweep them away

And baby, I remember
All the things you taught me
I learned how to laugh
And I learned how to cry
Well I learned how to love
Even learned how to lie
You'd think I could learn
How to tell you goodbye
'Cause you don't bring me flowers anymore

-----------------------------------------

:hug:

for you Maddy:

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Elton John

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Huting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

SHE'S GONE
Daryl Hall & John Oates

Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me
My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon
but it's plain to see that they can't comfort me

Sorry Charlie for the imposition
I think I've got it, got the strength to carry on
I need a drink and a quick decision
Now it's up to me, ooh what will be

Chorus:
She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
better learn how to face it
She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd
pay the devil to replace her
She's Gone - what went wrong

Up in the morning look in the mirror
I'm worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand
my face ain't looking any younger
now I can see love's taken her toll on me

She's Gone

Think I'll spend eternity in the city
let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away
and pretty bodies help dissolve the memories
but they can never be what she was to me

She's Gone

...and don't you EVER forget it.

You have not slipped in peoples' estimation. You have not become less popular. It is merely that everyone else has become more popular and has crowded you out. You haven't been shunned - they just got busy. Something came up. They were perhaps overwhelmed by your peppy Up With People lyric threads and longed for the old melancholy lyric threads. Or shrooms. Who knows any more :shrug:

Track Title: Dream Weaver
Album Title: Have A Nice Decade: disc 6

Prime Artist: Gary Wright
Written by: Gary Wright
Lyrics:
I've just closed my eyes again
Climbed aboard the dream weaver train
Driver take away my worries of today
And leave tomorrow behind

(chorus)
Ooh dream weaver
I believe you can get me through the night
Ooh dream weaver
I believe we can reach the morning light
Fly me high through the starry skies
Maybe to an astral plane
Cross the highways of fantasy
Help me to forget todays pain

(chorus again)

Though the dawn may be coming soon
There still may be some time
Fly me away to the bright side of the moon
And meet me on the other side

(chorus again, then fade out with the following
repeated several times...)

TWIST IN MY SOBRIETY - TANITA TIKARAM (haut)

All God's children need travelling shoes
Drive your problems from here
All good people read good books
Now your conscience is clear (x2)

In the morning when I wipe my brow
Wipe the miles away
I like to think I can be so willed
And never do what you say (x2)

CHORUS:
Look my eyes are just holograms
Look your love has drawn red from my hands
From my hands you know you'll never be
More than twist in my sobriety (x3)

We just poked a little pie
For the fun that people have at night
Late at night don't need hostility
The timid smile and pause to free

I don't care about their different thoughts
Different thoughts are good for me
Up in arms and chaste and whole
All God's children took their toll

CHORUS.

Cup of tea take time to think yeah
Time to risk a life a life a life
Sweet and handsome soft and porky
You pig out 'til you've seen the light
Pig out 'til you've seen the light

Half the people read the papers
Read them good and well
Pretty people nervous people
People have got to sell
News you have to sell

CHORUS.

:wow:

:nuke:

:(

:wow:

I've posted lyrics too and often get no responses; once in a while I'll get one or two which are terrific to read...

This won't help:

Nibblin' on sponge cake
Watchin' the sun bake
All of those tourists covered with oil
Strummin' my six-string
On my front porch swing
Smell those shrimp they're beginnin' to boil

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's nobody's fault

I don't know the reason
I stayed here all season
Nothin' to show but this brand new tattoo
But it's a real beauty
A Mexican cutie
How it got here I haven't a clue

Chorus:
Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
Now I think
Hell, it could be my fault

I blew out my flip-flop
Stepped on a pop-top
Cut my heel had to cruise on back home
But there's booze in the blender
And soon it will render
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know it's my own damn fault
Yes and some people claim that there's a woman to blame
And I know it's my own damn fault

:rofl:

but this Three Dog night earworm should take care of that

Track Title: Black & White
Album Title: 1972, Billboard Greatest Hits of

Prime Artist: Three Dog Night
Lyrics:
The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn to read and write
The child is black
The child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
The beautiful sight
And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the land
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
The child is black
The child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light
And now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of liberty
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
The child is black
The child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
The beautiful sight
The world is black
The world is white
Tt turns by day and the by night
The child id black
The child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light
(repeat last two verses)

status after being on top and tasting the glory of lounge recognition. At one point I was king, dammit!

now all I have is REO Speedwagon lyrics to post :(

keening and sobbing, tearing at one's hair, blowing one's nose whilst clutching at her chest, and finally sinking to one's knees on the tearsoaked carpet and vowing to move heaven and hell to make someone love her again:

"You could be my silver spring....
Blue-green..colors flashin'
I would be your only dream.....
Your shinin' autumn....ocean crashin'....
Don't say that she's pretty....
and did you say that she loves you...?
Baby I don't wanna know.

So I'll begin not to love you...
Turn around, you'll see me runnin'
I'll say I loved you years ago...
And tell myself you never loved me....No......
Don't say that she's pretty....
And did you say that she loves you...?
Baby, I don't wanna know....Oh no.....
And can you tell me...was it worth it....?
Baby, I don't wanna know..

Time cast a spell on you...you won't forget me...
I know I could've loved you but you would not let me....

Time cast a spell on you...but you won't forget me...
(I was such a fool)
I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me..
(Give me one more chance)
I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you..
(Haunt you)
You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you.."

I'm laughing so hard

(I really have to stop doing this at work - I'm getting strange looks)

What am I gonna do with all these raggedy kleenexes?

and how did you get in here? And don't tell me someone told you the secret handshake!

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know


Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong


I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side

What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day

Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confident

I see you on the street in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day


*dissolves*

i think you're pretty damned cool.

:hug:

*HONK*

Like youre one of the few other Orioles fans on the board, you got a great mind for history too.

Here's some lyrics for the occasion:

Loser (Beck)

In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flaming with a loser in the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin-D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the loveseat
Someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain about
A shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Saving all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park
Yo cut it!

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(double-barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?

The forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phoney gas chamber
'Cause one's got a weasel and other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the re-run shows and the cocaine nosejob
The daytime crap of a folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey neck and it's hanging from a pigeon wing
And you can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beat and body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax falling on a termite
And it's choking on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Get crazy with the Cheez-Whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?

(Drive-by body pierce…)

Yo bring on down
(I'm a driver, I'm a winner… things are gonna change, I can feel it)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(I can't believe you!)
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Sprechen Sie Deutsch, baby)

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby
So why don't you kill me?
(Know what I'm saying?)
