Name That Tune!

[diaperwerx]

In-a-gadda-da-vida honey,

Don't you know that I love you

In-a-gadda-da-vida baby,

Don't you know that I'll always be true...

Oh, won't you come with me

And take my hand!

Oh, won't you come with me

And walk this land...

Please take my hand!!!

In-a-gadda-da-vida honey,

Don't you know that I love you

In-a-gadda-da-vida baby,

Don't you know that I'll always be true...

Oh, won't you come with me

And take my hand!

Oh, won't you come with me

And walk this land...

Iron Butterfly - I have the tape. Yep. Commercial tape cassette....man I was mean to my parents about 8 track...lol That said next up is a true challenge of contemporary composition:

When they turn the pages of history

When these days have passed long ago

Will they read of us with sadness

For the seeds that we let grow

[D_Rainger]

Hi, DPWX, you're going to have to give us a little clue. This one is definitely out of my realm. Maybe Dolly would let us Google just a little? Please, please, please?

Hey Guys!,

The title of that song to me is the "Green Fields of France" by the DropKick Murphy's, but I really do not know the history of the song. The name you mentioned is probably the first person to sing that song. I find out some of the songs I listen to are oringinally sung by some one else first, but in most cases it was before my time. Take Care!

[Romance]

*claims!*

Splintered piece of glass falls in the sea.. Your Aunt's car.

Broken windows, open locks, remind us of the youth we lost.

We try so hard to look away from you.

We follow on, I steal the sunset.

[baby-dandan]

Now it is time for a little Chrismas music. This is from a KROQ Christmas album:

Outside the carolers start to sing,

I can't describe the joy they bring,

Cause joy is something they don't bring me!

My girlfriend is by my side,

People on the roof are hanging cicles of ice,

Their whinny voices get irritating!

It's Christmas time again.

It's Christmas time again,

It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand, all year

I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer!

You people scare me please stay away from my home

If you don't wanna get beat down just leave the presents

and then leave me alone!

I hope you don't think this means I'm not in the Christmas spirit. I guess the singer just was not.

[diaperwerx]

Near as I can tell it's Blink-182 and it's a cool song.

Try this:

Remember,

Walking in the sand.

Remember,

Walking hand in hand.

Remember,

The night was so exciting.

Remember,

Her smile was so inviting,

Remember,

And then she touched my cheek,

Remember,

With her fingertips.

Remember,

Softly, softly we met with a kiss.

[baby-dandan]

Hello Everyone!,

Sorry Romance and diaperwerx, I really don't have an answer for the two of yours. I could guess, but I would probably just end up making a fool of myself! Hey let's keep the Christmas spirit going! Another one from the KROQ Christmas album;

The snow is falling down up in some northern town,

but the Carolina Christmas is still the best around!

Wrap up your teddy bear hang your stocking up with care,

It's the Carolina Christmas we're chilling in our underwear.

Well, Old St. Nick's got a bag of tricks,

and he's coming round after while.

This must be his favorite house,

Cause we always do it up in style!

Grandma's got the fiddle,

and grandpa's got the bass.

When it's Christmas in Carolina,

It's Christmas all over the place!

A new Christmas Tune:

SAVATAGE LYRICS

Believe (1998)

[Taken from Streets]

[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill]

So after all those one night stands

You've ended up with heart in hand

A child alone

On your own

Retreating

Regretful for the things you're not

And all the things you haven't got

Without a home

A heart of stone

Lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed

And for all you did not find

And for all the things you had to leave behind

I am the way

I am the light

I am the dark inside the night

I hear your hopes

I feel your dreams

And in the dark I hear your screams

Don't turn away

Just take my hand

And when you make your final stand

I'll be right there

I'll never leave

All I ask of you

Believe

Your childhood eyes were so intense

While bartering your innocence

For bits of string

The grown-up wings

You needed

But when you had to add them up

You found that there were not enough

To get you in

Pay for sins

Repeated

And for all the years you borrowed

And for all the tears you cried

And for all the fears you had to keep inside

Yeah

I am the way

I am the light

I am the dark inside the night

I hear your hopes

I feel your dreams

And in the dark I hear your screams

Don't turn away

Just take my hand

And when you make your final stand

I'll be right there

I'll never leave

And all I ask of you

Believe, yeah

I never wanted to know

Never wanted to see

I wasted my time

Till time wasted me

Never wanted to go

Always wanted to stay

'Cause the persons I am

Are the parts that I play

So I plot and I plan

Hope and I scheme

To the lure of a night

Filled with unfinished dreams

And I'm holding on tight

To a world gone astray

As they charge me for years

I can't pay

I am the way

I am the light

I am the dark inside the night

I hear your hopes

I feel your dreams

And in the dark I hear your screams

Don't turn away

Just take my hand

And when you make your final stand

I'll be right there

I'll never leave

All I ask of you

Believe

Believe

[DollyDiaper]

It kinda spoils the game when you give the answer before you ask the question Cliff!

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

Racing around to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over,

Thought I'd something more to say.

[DollyDiaper]

A little clue for christmas

dw was listening to this track in Sunshine's "What Song sre you Listening to?" a few days ago! I thought he'd accidentally posted it in the wrong fred at first, but then I wondered if he was just being obtuse

D lly

[Sunshine2585]

Is it Time by Pink Floyd? Because that was the last song dw posted in the other thread.

[DollyDiaper]

Give the lady a peanut! Well done DCI Sunshine, now it's your turn to show us what you've got

D lly

[Sunshine2585]

I will have to think of a song now.

[Sunshine2585]

Since this is the first time I have posted lyrics in this thread I decided to go with something random. And sorry that it isn't a Christmas song.

You got to go dig those holes,

With broken hands and a' withered souls.

Emancipated, for all you know.

You got to go dig those holes.

Take a bad boy,

Make him dig 5 feet.

The dirt in these shovels will give us a beat.

OK, ya gotta find somethin' never found before.

If not, you'll just have to dig s'more

Wake up in the mornin'

Before the sun.

Keep diggin' them holes,

'Till the day is done.

Wake up in the mornin'

Before the sun.

Keep diggin' them holes,

'Till the day is done

[Guest diamondback688]

is it Dig It by the D Tent Boys?

[Sunshine2585]

Yep you got it.

[Guest diamondback688]

yay...here are my lyrics:

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny

I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

I find it hard to tell you

I find it hard to take

When people run in circles

[Sunshine2585]

I think I know the artist, but I can't remember which song it is.

[Sunshine2585]

Is it Mad World by Gary Jules?

[Guest diamondback688]

you are right, sunshine...it was played at the begginning and end of an episode of SI: a few weeks ago...thats the only reason i thought of it...now grace us with your lyrics...LOL

[Sunshine2585]

Yeah yeah yeah

Uhh

It seems to me so strange

Check wallet for his name

His face is in the muck

I think his zippers stuck

Just keep it going

Just keep it going

Just keep it going

Hes not dead, hes gonna live

Hes not dead, hes gonna live

I see his eyes rolling back in his head

[DollyDiaper]

Give us a clue please Sunshine?

D lly

[Sunshine2585]

It was featured in a film starring Rachel McAdams.

[diaperwerx]

The album is Fatherfucker by Peaches and the song is called operate: http://www.metrolyrics.com/lyrics/1787335229/Peaches/Operate

That was a good one sunshine....now try this:

An offering of reasons

We put them all in play

A covering of treasons

That one by one we let slip away

Well a man's got to do what a man's got to do

But I'll never give my soul to you

No fallen angel's prophecy

Will ever take hold of the man you see

[DollyDiaper]

Gizza clue please dw?
