'Well don't you know I can't take.

I'm not that kind of man'

I Call Your Name.

'Please don't wake me, no

Leave me where I am
I'm only sleeping'

If only I could wake up and speak so eloquently my grandmother might actually let me go back to bed.

"If the rain comes
they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes
If the rain comes

When the sun shines
they slip into the shade
and sip their lemonade
When the sun shines
When the sun shines"

It rained all day yesterday, and now today..it's all hot and sunny.

My Favorite, People need to slow down and look inside themselfs for peace instead of looking for satisfaction outside themselves. thats how i translate the lyrics personally anyway.

Stay in bed, float upstream.

it's about me! i hate to wake ur early in the morning!!!

'-Do you need anybody?

-I want somebody to love.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,

Great question; maybe "Julia:"


Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you,
Julia

Julia, Julia, ocean child, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering,
In the sun

Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia

Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum...calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia

Kevin schooled me! Sorry for my ignorance, I wasn't aware that George borrowed it.  I guess that answers the question: George's version.  

Im very happy I found this site.  I have read books and listened to the albums, but I don't really have anyone to discuss The Beatles with.  I just started reading this site a few days ago and have already learned so much!

Great Thread  :) Here's a few I can think of at the moment!

Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight - I'm Looking Through You

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool.
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, ooh, ooh, ooh,
Girl! Ffff...Girl!
- Girl

I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
- Got To get You Into My Life

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't
feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
- For No One

Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
- Happiness is a Warm Gun
Title: Re: your fav lyrics of the moment?
Post by: fendertele on March 21, 2008, 12:12:47 AM
You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
and in the middle of negotiations
you break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
and in the middle of investigation
I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today
Came true today (yes it did)

One two three four five six seven,
All good children go to Heaven

"Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And tell me, did venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know youre wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me"
-drops of jupiter by Train


"And anytime you feel the pain,
Hey, Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool
Who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder"

Someday when we're dreaming, deep in love,
Not a lot to say,
Then we will remember things we said today

Only because those words seem to fit into my life at the moment.  I have heard the song many times before, but when I played it today and I heard it, it really jumped out at me.

Take a good look around you

That you and me were meant to be for each other
Silly girl.

But I do love all the others, I have a favorite lyric in all the songs

Post by: Geoff on April 07, 2008, 05:01:14 AM
Had this on my brain all evening for some reason:


She's not a girl who misses much
do do do do do do, oh yeah

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane.

The man in the crowd with the multi-colored mirrors on his hobnail boots.

Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime.

A soap impression of his wife which he ate and donated to the National Trust.

You were in a car Crash and you lost your hair - this always gives me a laugh

I want to tell you I feel hung up and I dont know why - I just love this song and this line is so cool.

Let it Be
LEt it Be
Let it Be
Speaking words of WISDOM
Let it Be - these are very good advice

The entire lyrics of yer blues is so dark, bbut still great imagery.


Most of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds again for the imagery


How can I even try, I can never win
Hearing them seeing them in the state I'm in
How could she say to me love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns, let me hear you say ay ay - so sad.

Personally I don't see how exhorting people (if as we're told this was a period of great social change) to leave well enough alone is particularly wise. "Way-up your options and reach a balanced conclusion" might be wise, but a b**** to find rhyms (sp) for.

The Beach Boys - Surf's Up

A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome mannered baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the op'ra glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?
Hung velvet over taking me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall, a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins domino
Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, Brother John?
Dove nested towers
The hour was strike
The street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-Step to lamplight cellar tune
The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
The glass was raised, the fired-roast
The fullness of the wine, a dim last toasting
While at Port, adieu or die
A choke of grief heart-hardened eye
Beyond belief, a broken man too tough to cry
Surf's up aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join the young and often spring you gave
I heard the word, wonderful thing
A children's song
A children's song, have you listened as they play?
Their song is love and the children know the way


I don't have a clue what most of this means, but I get a beautiful surrealistic movie in my head every time I listen to these lyrics. Van Dyke Parks is such a genius.

This song, Piazza New York Catcher by Belle and Sebastion is just amazing <3

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
A trail for the devil to erase

San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
About the saddest ending of a book you ever had to read
The statue’s crying too and well he may


I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
I love you my responsibility has found a place
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Come wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Maybe, but not what she deserves

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for
a doorway
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
a flower
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Meet you at the statue in an hour

I think that misses the point of lyric.  He's talking more about personal things, relationships, I think - "Let it Be" basically means "Let it go".  You know the whole "If you love something set it free", it's all the same idea.    Don't hold on too tight.  Sometimes when you stop trying so hard,  you are able to overcome the problem that seemed impossible, in some ways you were getting in your own way.  Or you realize that it's time to move on, you're holding onto the past.

In fact in a time of great change that is something that could be said to the people who are fighting so hard to stop any changes.
