I thought I'd start a thread for those songs that just grab a piece of your soul and don't let go. I just heard one of those songs, and it got me thinking that we need a place to put them. Song - Out of My Head Artist - Fastball Sometimes I feel Like I am drunk behind the wheel The wheel of possibility However it may roll Give it a spin See if you can somehow factor in You know there’s always more than one way To say exactly what you mean to say Chorus: Was I out of my head? was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind? I was waiting for an indication It was hard to find Don’t matter what I say only what I do I never mean to do bad things to you So quiet but I finally woke up If you’re sad then it’s time you spoke up too

Got a feeling inside (Can't explain) It's a certain kind (Can't explain) I feel hot and cold (Can't explain) Yeah, down in my soul, yeah (Can't explain) I said ... (Can't explain) I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (Can't explain) Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue The things you've said, well, maybe they're true I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again I know what it means, but Can't explain I think it's love Try to say it to you When I feel blue But I can't explain (Can't explain) Yeah, hear what I'm saying, girl (Can't explain) Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling bad The things you've said have got me real mad I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again I know what it means but Can't explain I think it's love Try to say it to you When I feel blue But I can't explain (Can't explain) Forgive me one more time, now (Can't explain) I said I can't explain, yeah You drive me out of my mind Yeah, I'm the worrying kind, babe I said I can't explain

Song - Here's To The Night Artist - Eve 6 So denied So I lied Are you the now or never kind In a day And a day love I'm gonna be gone for good again Are you willing To be had Are you cool With just tonight Here's a toast To all those who hear me all too well Here's to the nights We felt alive Here's to the tears You knew you'd cry Here's to goodbye Tomorrow's gonna come too soon Put your name On the line Along with place and time Wanna stay Not to go I wanna ditch the logical Here's a toast To all those who hear me all too well Here's to the nights We felt alive Here's to the tears You knew you'd cry Here's to goodbye Tomorrow's gonna come too soon All my time is froze in motion Can't I stay an hour or two or more Don't let me let you go Don't let me let you go Here's a toast To all those who hear me all too well Here's to the nights We felt alive Here's to the tears You knew you'd cry Here's to goodbye Tomorrow's gonna come too soon Too soon Here's to the nights we felt alive Here's to the tears you knew you'd cry Here's to goodbye Tomorrow's gonna come too soon

Song - What Happened? Artist - Sublime Wake up in the morning, clock says half past one. I have no sunglasses As I step into the sun. There's no recollection of the evil things I've done. My head feels like I musta' had some fun. What happened? Last thing I remember I was chillin at a party. Pinching girlie's asses I was drinking recklessly. I know I did something, Lord what could it be? Woke up in the morning And all my friends hate me. What happened? What am I doing here? Who is this girl in my bed? What is this shit on my face? My God, what is that awful smell? She may be an angel. She may be a queen. She might be black, white, American, Indian or Japanese. What happened? Threw a bottle at the bouncer Didn't think that he was cool. Pissed in someone's drink And threw a bike into a pool. Driven down the side walk Like a drunken possessed fool. I broke every single traffic rule. What happened? What happened? Let's go

JOHN MAYER - My Stupid Mouth Lyrics My stupid mouth Has got me in trouble I said too much again To a date over dinner yesterday And I could see She was offended She said "well anyway..." Just dying for a subject change Oh, another social casualty Score one more for me How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess he better find one soon We bit our lips She looked out the window Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker And I could see clearly An indelible line was drawn Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong Oh, the way she feels about me has changed Thanks for playing, try again. How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess he better find one I'm never speaking up again It only hurts me I'd rather be a mystery Than she desert me Oh I'm never speaking up again Starting now One more thing Why is it my fault? So maybe I try too hard But it's all because of this desire I just wanna be liked I just wanna be funny Looks like the jokes on me So call me captain backfire Oh, the way she feels about me has changed Thanks for playing, try again. How could I forget? Mama said "think before speaking" No filter in my head Oh, what's a boy to do I guess he better find one I'm never speaking up again It only hurts me I'd rather be a mystery Than she desert me Oh I'm never speaking up again Starting now

The first verse of Desolation Row. A few months ago the missus and I went to an event at the something-or-other club above MSG. At MSG that night Ringling Bros was doing their thing. When we left, the place was a total disaster with cotton candy cones and crap swirling about and the souvenir hawkers still doing their thing way past the point any child should be up and the NYPD standing around with nothing to do. In any event, the following verse popped into my head and seemed so apropos: They're selling postcards of the hanging They're painting the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town Here comes the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight From Desolation Row

Crimson flames tied through my ears Rollin' high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps "We'll meet on edges, soon," said I Proud 'neath heated brow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth "Rip down all hate," I screamed Lies that life is black and white Spoke from my skull. I dreamed Romantic facts of musketeers Foundationed deep, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Girls' faces formed the forward path From phony jealousy To memorizing politics Of ancient history Flung down by corpse evangelists Unthought of, though, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. A self-ordained professor's tongue Too serious to fool Spouted out that liberty Is just equality in school "Equality," I spoke the word As if a wedding vow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand At the mongrel dogs who teach Fearing not that I'd become my enemy In the instant that I preach My pathway led by confusion boats Mutiny from stern to bow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now. Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats Too noble to neglect Deceived me into thinking I had something to protect Good and bad, I define these terms Quite clear, no doubt, somehow. Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now.

Bob was just on fire back then when he was younger (or older). I read that the 'Another Side' album was recorded all in a single night. To have done that and 'Chimes of Freedom' ... on the same day. Wow.

sharpie Jul 15 2005 03:48 PM

Not only recorded in one day but all of the songs were written over a one-week period. Chimes of Freedom, My Back Pages, It Ain't Me Babe, Ballad in Plain D, etc., crankin' them right out.

Comedian Steve Allen, when he was a struggling whatever, wrote 100 songs in one weekend on a bet. None of them sing to me. Later

I heard this today for the first time in ages. I forgot just how much I love it - Song - Kryptonite Artist - Three Doors Down I took a walk around the world to Ease my troubled mind I left my body laying somewhere In the sands of time I watched the world float to the dark Side of the moon I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah I watched the world float to the Dark side of the moon After all I knew it had to be something To do with you I really don't mind what happens now and then As long as you'll be my friend at the end If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well, will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side with My superhuman might Kryptonite You called me strong, you called me weak But your secrets I will keep You took for granted all the times I Never let you down You stumbled in and bumped your head, if Not for me then you would be dead I picked you up and put you back On solid ground If I go crazy then will you still Call me Superman If I'm alive and well will you be There holding my hand I'll keep you by my side with my Superhuman might Kryptonite

Now that I've lost everything to you You say you want to start something new And it's breaking my heart you're leaving, baby I'm grieving But if you want to leave take good care Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there Ref.: Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world It's hard to get by just upon a smile Oh, baby, baby it's a wild world I'll always remember you like a child, girl 2.

What You’d Call A Dream Music and Lyrics by Craig Carnelia (from DIAMONDS) There are 2 men out And it’s in the 9th And the score is 4 to 3 There’s a man on 1st And a man at bat And the man at bat is me And I’m sorta scared And I’m sorta proud And I’m stronger than I seem And I take a swing And my dad is there And it’s what you’d call a dream For the ball flies in the sun And it sails off as I run The crowd is roaring, cheering as I go So are all the guys on the team And I run for home And we win the game And it’s what you’d call a dream And the sun Shines like diamonds The summer sun Shines like diamonds The summer sun, High in a baseball sky, Shines like diamonds And the sun Shines like diamonds There are 2 men out And it’s in the 9th And the score is 4 to 3 There’s a man on 1st And a man at bat And the man at bat is me And it’s what you’d call a dream

Song - I'll Stand By You Artist - The Pretenders Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don’t be ashamed to cry Let me see you through ’cause I’ve seen the dark side too When the night falls on you You don’t know what to do Nothing you confess Could make me love you less I’ll stand by you I’ll stand by you Won’t let nobody hurt you I’ll stand by you So if you’re mad, get mad Don’t hold it all inside Come on and talk to me now Hey, what you got to hide? I get angry too Well I’m a lot like you When you’re standing at the crossroads And don’t know which path to choose Let me come along ’cause even if you’re wrong I’ll stand by you I’ll stand by you Won’t let nobody hurt you I’ll stand by you Take me in, into your darkest hour And I’ll never desert you I’ll stand by you And when... When the night falls on you, baby You’re feeling all alone You won’t be on your own I’ll stand by you I’ll stand by you Won’t let nobody hurt you I’ll stand by you Take me in, into your darkest hour And I’ll never desert you I’ll stand by you I’ll stand by you Won’t let nobody hurt you I’ll stand by you Won’t let nobody hurt you I’ll stand by you
