The Verve: Bittersweet symphony: 1997: Video and Lyrics






For V.. ” I’m not the type to tiptoe through the tulips, I would rather bulldoze through the bullshit.”
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life..’








'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now

No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change

'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the things meet yeah

You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no

I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no

I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?

The Beatles: Girl:1965: Lyrics and Video








“Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl
You want so much it makes you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl, girl, girl
When I think of all the times
I tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
And I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah, girl, girl, girl
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, ooo, ooo, ooo
Girl, girl, girl
Was she told when she was young
That pain would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
To earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah, girl, girl, girl
Ah, girl, girl, girl”

Rick Astley: Take me to your heart:1988: Lyrics and Video





If it’s a crime to LOVE bubble-gum pop, then I’, GUILTY





“Are we lovers
Or only just friends?
Come tomorrow
Will I be lonely again?
When you see me
Is it love in your eyes?
What you feeling
Deep down inside?
Do you think about me
(Think about me)
When I'm far away?
Do you dream about me?
(Dream about me)
Can I find a way
To make you want me?
(Make you want me)
The way I want you
'Cos I think I love you
(Think I love you)
Could you love me too?
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
If you knew what I'm feeling
You would not say no
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
For your love, for your love
Is all I need to know
Can you tell me
When you look at me
If you need me
In all honesty?
Because I'm certain
As sure as can be
I'd make you happy
Eternally
'Cos I think about you
(Think about you)
When you're far away
And I dream about you
(Dream about you)
Night and day
Can I make you want me
(Make you want me)
The way that I want you?
'Cos I think I love you
(Think I love you)
Could you love me too?
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
If you knew what I'm feeling
You would not say no
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
For your love, for your love
Is all I need to know
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
If you knew what I'm feeling
You would not say no
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
For your love, for your love
Is all I need to know
'Cos I think about you
(Think about you)
When you're far away
And I dream about you
(Dream about you)
Night and day
Can I make you want me
(Make you want me)
The way that I want you?
'Cos I think I love you
(Think I love you)
Could you love me too?
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
If you knew what I'm feeling
You would not say no
Take me to your heart
Never let me go
For your love, for your love
Is all I need to know.”

Everything I own: Boy George: 1987

The 80’s wouldn’t have being the 80’s without the music of Boy George and his contribution to bubble-gum pop. You can’t have a proper appreciation of the 80’s without including those that helped to create the ecstatic appeal of the 80’s. This song incorporated some of the rhythmic essentials of a reggae love song.
“Owing more to the Ken Boothe version, the sweet reggae style was reminiscent of his earlier debut hit with Culture Club, "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?".”[1]


For MG

“You sheltered me from harm
Kept me warm, you kept me warm
You gave my life to me
You set me free, set me free

Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again

You taught me how to cry
I don't know why, just don't know why
You told those lies to me
You set me free, set me free

Of all the years I ever knew
Those finer ones I spent with you

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again
Just to hold you once again

If there's someone you know
That won't let you go
And is taking it all for granted
You may lose them one day
Someone take them away
And you don't hear a word they say

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.”

John Lennon: Mother: 1970: Lyrics and live Video





“your mamma!”


The legends were unafraid to express emotion in song…..


“ This song is another song from one of those albums I made, since I left the rolling stones(lol), and a lot people thought it was just about my parents, but in fact, 99% of the parents who are alive are half dead.” John Lennon.”







“Mother, you had me but I never had you
I wanted you, you didn't want me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Father, you left me but I never left you
I needed you, you didn't need me
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk and I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you
Goodbye, goodbye
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home
Mama, don't go
Daddy, come home.”

The Beatles: She Loves you:1963: Lyrics and video








“She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah yeah
You think you've lost your love
Well, I saw her yesterday
It's you she's thinking of
And she told me what to say
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad
She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind
But now she says she knows
You're not the hurting kind
She says she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
Yes, she loves you
And you know you should be glad, ooh!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
You know it's up to you
I think it's only fair
Pride can hurt you too
Apologize to her
Because she loves you
And you know that can't be bad
She loves you
And you know you should be glad, ooh!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should be glad
With a love like that
You know you should, be glad
Yeah yeah yeah.”
