This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again

(Doors - The End)

 

[bluebro69]

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

(The End of the World -- Skeeter Davis)

 

[kherg007]

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Worry about a thing, oh)
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright (Don't worry)

Bob Marley "Three little birds"

 

[EJunkie]

Eatin’ fried chicken and Mama’s corn bread,
I got a V-8 Ford that’s cherry red
I heard a little voice inside my head
Everything’s gonna be all right

Everything’s gonna be all right, everything’s gonna be all right.
(Somebody help me sing)
Everything’s gonna be all right, everything’s gonna be all right.

Ridin’ on the back of a dragon fly
With Mississippi moonshine in my eye
I’m sailin’ home on southern skies
Everything’s gonna be all right

Now, I saw the devil down in Mexico;
He was rollin’ bones at the Texaco.
He handed me the dice, but I said “No.”
Ever’thing’s gonna be all right

I got a front row seat at the apocalypse,
With a chili cheese dog and a bag of chips;
All the women in Heaven got hula-girl hips.
Ever’thing’s gonna be all right

Everything’s gonna be alright; Paul Thorn

Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms
You've been hiding them in hollowed-out pianos left in the dark
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
Got the music in you, baby, tell me why
You've been locked in here forever, and you just can't say goodbye
Your lips, my lips
Apocalypse

(Cigarettes After Sex — Apocalypse)

 

[bluebro69]

Ain't got no trouble in my life
No foolish dream to make me cry
I'm never frightened or worried
I know I'll always get by

I heat up (heat up), I cool down (cool down)
When something gets in my way, I go 'round it
Don't let life get me down
Gonna take it the way that I found it

I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me, yeah

(I Got the Music In Me -- Kiki Dee)

 

[kherg007]

We sit in my car outside your house
You're quiet, I can feel the heat a'comin' 'round
I go to put my arm around you and you
give me a look like I'm
way outta bounds, well
you let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes

I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down
I'm goin' down, down, Down, Down
I'm goin' down, down, down, down

Springsteen "i'm going down"

 

[EJunkie]

As the café was closing on a warm summer night
And Cathy was cleaning the spoons
The radio played the "Hit Parade"
And I hummed along with the tune
She asked me to change the station
Said the song just drove her insane
But it weren't just the music playing
It was me she was trying to blame

And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring?
But it's far, far from me

Well, I leaned on my left leg in the parking lot dirt
And Cathy was closing the lights
A June bug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I weren't right
Why, we used to laugh together
And we'd dance to any old song
Well, you know, she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second too long
And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring?
But it's far, far from me

Well, I started the engine and I gave it some gas
And Cathy was closing her purse
Well, we hadn't gone far in my beat-up old car
And I was prepared for the worst
"Will you still see me tomorrow?"
"No, I got too much to do"
Well, a question ain't really a question
If you know the answer, too

And the sky is black and still now
On the hill where the angels sing
Ain't it funny how an old broken bottle
Looks just like a diamond ring?
But it's far, far from me

John Prine: Far from Me

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

And so you see I have come to doubt all that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs, the only truth I know is you
And as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain, there but for the grace of you go I

(Simon & Garfunkel — Kathy’s Song)

 

[kherg007]

Now, you play the loving woman
I'll play the faithful man
But just don't look too close
Into the palm of my hand

Oh, we stood at the altar
The gypsy swore our future was bright
But come the wee-wee hours
Well maybe, baby, the gypsy lied

So when you look at me
You better look hard and look twice
Is that me, baby
Or just a brilliant disguise?

Tonight our bed is cold
I'm lost in the darkness of our love
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of

Springsteen "Brilliant disguise "

 

[EJunkie]

Darlin', I'm a'comin' down
Route number sixty-seven
I just got off the turnpike
Avoiding the Ohio State inspection
Johnny Law followed me up the road
Then he turned off and he let me go
I guess this old truck ain't worth shuttin' down
Your voice last night on the telephone
Said you wouldn't be there when I got home
So when I get to Cleveland
I'm gonna head back south
The light keeps comin' on
I got water in the fuel
My brakes are gone
I got a left front tire throwin' thread
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along
You said you couldn't stay
With a man who was always gone away
All you wanted to do was to settle down
You wanted to buy that little trailer
Out on the edge with the money you'd saved
It had a carport, a colour TV
And no place to turn around
The light keeps comin' on
I got water in the fuel
My brakes are gone
I got a left front tire throwin' thread
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along
Remember that winter when the lake froze over
We drove out there after we'd unloaded
We revved that truck and we spun it 'round and 'round
Then we left it idlin' out on that ice
Crawled in the sleeper and I held you tight
Baby, I'm sure on thin ice now
The light keeps comin' on
I got water in the fuel
My brakes are gone
I got on left front tire throwin' thread
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along

Fred Eaglesmith: Water in the Fuel

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Heal me with a smile, darling pretty
Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold
Carry me awhile, my darling pretty
Heal my aching heart and soul

(Mark Knopfler — Darling Pretty)

 

[fromtheshwa]

Two o'clock this morning
If she should come a-calling
I couldn't dream of turning her away
And if it got hot and hectic
I know she'd be electric
I'd let her take her chances with me
You see, she gets what she wants

'Cause she's heart and soul
She's hot and cold
She's got it all, hot loving every night
Whoa
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

(Huey Lewis & the News - Heart and Soul)

 

[EJunkie]

One, two, three, nine
Everybody call her angel
She's no stranger to the devil, I know
His mark is on her body
His fire's burnin' in her soul
When we're makin' love, he's laughin' at us down below
She's the devil I know
She's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
Said she come from heaven, angel is the devil, I know
She's the devil I know
Now, she's the kind a woman
Keep you comin' back for more
Got the kind of face, you swear you seen someplace before
Well, it coulda been your mamma
Coulda been a Mexican whore
She's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
Said she come from heaven, angel is the devil, I know
She's the devil I know
Now, she'd drag you straight to hell
I can tell, and I think I'll just go
Yeah, the devil sent her here to deliver me body and soul
Yeah, and every inch she drags me down
I'm closer to the glow, she's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know
Said she come from heaven, angel is the devil, I know
She's the devil I know
Devil, I know
Yeah, she's the devil, I know
Yeah, they said she come from heaven
Angel is the devil, I know
She's the devil, I know

Steve Earle: Angel is the Devil

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Do not try me Devil, Devil
Cannot buy me Devil, Devil
You won't make a fool of me oh no
What makes you so special, special
To think I would ever settle
For that devious dance between you and me
Devil, Devil

(Milck — Devil, Devil)

 

[K Douglas]

Fuck the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs women wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie

D'Angelo "Devil's Pie"

 

[philonius]

As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker

I dug a hole so deep
I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
Can’t even sell my soul
‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)
And I just can’t sink any lower (Lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (Closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (Over and over)

"Devil on my Shoulder" - Billy Talent

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Devil woman, it's over
Trapped no more by your charms
Cuz I don't want to stay, I want to get away
Woman, let go of my arm
Oh devil woman
Devil woman, let go of me
Devil woman, let me be and leave me alone
I want to go home

(Marty Robbins — Devil Woman)

 

[kherg007]

I've had nothing, but bad luck
Since the day I saw the cat at my door
So I came into you sweet lady
Answering your mystical call

Crystal ball on the table
Showing the future, the past
Same cat with them evil eyes
And I knew it was a spell she cast

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you

She's just a devil woman
With evil on her mind
Beware the devil woman
She's gonna get you from behind

Cliff Richard "Devil woman"

 

[bluebro69]

Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum
Look at Molly now, here she comes
Wearin' her wig hat and shades to match
She's got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat
Wearin' her pearls and her diamond rings
She's got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything

Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress
Devil with the blue dress on

(Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels -- Devil With a Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly)
