Future kings of Spain

I'm wasting life, I'm sure of that.
The glimpse that I see just fell black,
Your tears make pretty streams and there
Is a man over there, says he wants you,
But this boy needs you now.

And by 'you', i mean tickets.

All the flowers that you planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
'Cause nothing compares ...
Nothing compares to you

It's three o'clock in the morning
And I'm on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten

Now I won't get out until Sunday
I'll have to say I stayed with friends
But it's a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end

Ash - Kung Fu

Last night Jackie Chan came around
I played pool with him and we hung out
Mr. Miagi and the X-men
Called in for a while as well

Give me an opinion
'Cos I don't have one
I'll agree with you if you're right
I always know where you're coming from
But I've never been there
I have to steal from you when you write

Your beautiful madness
My beautiful grief
Your dreams are my torture
Your dreams my relief

I'm not dreaming of the past

I never think about the last

This one from The Frames always gets me emotional (in fact I'm welling up just copying and pasting it).

I know it from the Set List album, and the performance sends shivers up my spine.

So what happens when the heart just stops
Stops caring for anyone
The hollow in your chest dries up
And you stop believing

So what happens when the heart gives up
But the body goes on living
The blood crawls to a slow and stops
And flows away

Well we got no-one to meet
No love we would beseech
We only have ourselves to blame for everything
The was no answer in the dust
And I'm missing you so much
And now you're sleeping
And I'm leaving

Stiff Little Fingers - Wait and See


When we started we thought we were great
Though nobody else agreed
Just you and I wasting our time
Playing and singing out of key
And they said we played too loud
Cos we didn't play for their crowd
But we just told them 'Wait and see'

What do you say
When she's in your arms and you're going round in those circles...
When both of you know that you've risen to the occasion...
When her friend comes along and you know that she's been rescued...
When you're eternal flame has been drowned by her...
Purple rain

In the garden d'Snake was a charmin'
And Eve said let's give it a try
Now lead us not into temptation
But no matter how hard I try
When in the garden and
Snake is a charmin'
And Eve says let's give it a
Now lead us not into temptation
but, Eve is the apple of my eye.

Was gonna go for an Ash song but Kung Fu's best line was already taken and a line from Shining Light would be too obivious seeing as it won/nominated? for an Ivor Novello back in the day.

Really like these lines from Bell X'rs, i mean i really like it,

but i'd like tickets just as much... so make this happen?

Fight Like Apes - Tie Me Up With Jackets

And I can't compete with all you talk about,
You're so informed
And yet you talk just like a lout you say
Yo la Tengo like you're selling perfume
Like a brand new scent for modern man,
Invented by cartoons.

They're a really good Irish band. A lot of energy. Lyrics are quite strange but but who cares? It's indie music at it's finest.

I met the Republic Of Loose lead singer when they played our rag week in Dundalk and I may have insulted him by saying, "You know what, I didn't think you were as good as The Corona's on Monday". D'oh.

Please please please give me a chance to redeem myself.

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The gingerlady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you talking in my head

I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the fist time
I never think about the last

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
But there's still a light I hold before me
You're the measure of my dreams

Its hard to even pick a particular quote from it, the words of the whole song are just the best he's ever written

northernpower

Standing on a black Ulster hill
I never fear the chill
'Cos everybody's holding
Everybody's holding

I wouldn't swap the pain
For never knowing you
I wouldn't swap the pain
It was worth it for the view

Seems to be about the pain of going through a break-up, experienced this myself recently and often thought would it have been better if we'd never met so I wouldn't be going through this, It wouldn't

smallgarden

You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get ****ed inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man like a woman like a, like a man

some really angry passionate lyrics!

nxbyveromdwjpg

It's alright to say things can only get better,
You haven't lost your brand new sweater.
I know I had it on when I had my tea,
And I'm sure I had it on in the lavatory.

Dancing in the disco, go, go, go.
Dancing in the disco, oh no, oh no.
Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper,
Wait a minute, where's me jumper ?

POIGNANT!

The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin


Oh my perfect cousin
What I like to do he doesn't
He's his family's pride and joy
His mothers little golden boy

His mother bought him a synthesizer
Got the Human League into advise her
Now he's making lots of noise
Playing along with the art school boys
Girls try to attract his attention
But what a shame it's in vain total rejection
He will never be left on the shelf
Cos Kevin he's in love with himself

Oh my perfect cousin

Aslan - This Time

Drawing faces in a padded room,
With nothing but echoes of screams.
Am I Insane, Am I untamed?
Is this the answer, or is it a dream?
Feels like Nothing,
And it looks like you're nothing at all,
And we all go down this time.

Has the world forgotten about me?
Am I left here to suffer my pain?
Call out to mother, coz there ain't no other
To stop you from crying again.
This time, Oh this time.

U2

A mole, digging in a hole
Digging up my soul
Now going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

One and only warning... anymore of this and it's a banning. If you don't want to win tickets then don't post in this thread. Simple as. This post is not just directed at whoever i'm quoting, it is for one and all.

A song covered by Christie Moore but great lyrics...

Life is an ocean, love is a boat
In troubled waters it keeps us afloat

Cheesy but good

Agreed, great lyrics. Another classic from Jake Summers...

Hey you, what's-your-face
I have a pocket full of fists, you got a stupid face
Hey you, know your place
You're like Kentucky fried chicken but without the taste

Or from Lend Me Your Face

I wanna cut you with glass
You haven't got such a pretty ass now
Wanna put you in a cast
And cast off all my memories of where you been at

Lend me your face
Lend me your face
Lend me your face
I'll bust it up and I'll replace it

Last one, classic from Mundy

and the moon was a slice of lemon in a gin and tonic sky

doughef

She slips into the night, and she is gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

Unicorn by The Irish Rovers...inspirational lyrics

Green aligators and long neck geese
some humpty back camels and some chimpanzees
some cats and rats and elephants but sure as youre born
the loveliest of them all was the unicorn

Paul Brady - the Island

They're raising banners over by the markets,
Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls,
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown,
No way our holy flag is gonna fall,
Up here we sacrifice our children,
To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday,
And teach them dying will lead us into glory...

Ash - A Life Less Ordinary

You were conceived in heart, came like a dream
To save me from my mortality
Put on your dress white Goddess
And settle in as the weather folds
Our arms will be entwined even when I die
You'll see me through till the end of time
No earthly bride the most beautiful star in the world, in the air, on my tongue
Before my eyes, beyond the stars, beneath the sun
So take me in your arms again, lead me in my dreams again
So what is it worth? I'd sell my soul
What is it worth? Only you know.

Sorry about that, but it was worth a try! :P

My real favourite lyrics are from Pledge by Kerbdog:

Sub-standard sounds, stand and take a bow
Pat each other's back
Oh really can't you feel it now
You can blow your trumpet
I don't have to listen in
Unfortunate like mine it's just another din

Frand & Walters - Michael

Oh Michael, don't you know you were meant to ride your bicycle
That car of yours does not suit the colour of your eyes my friend,
So smile and ride your bicycle,
So smile and ride your bicycle,
So smile and ride your bicycle,
So smile and ride your bicycle.


You never really look down
'Cause you're afraid that you'll see the ground
And maybe you're afraid of heights
You've got an awfully long way to fall my friend,
So cycle with your head in the clouds
Cycle with your head in the clouds.

So it's D-day, wonder will there be an early announcement or did Darragh and Crew have a heavy one last night.

And St Patrick's returned to his cave having gorged on snakes and irish spirit;


but he will return;

and we must be ready....


Come on Ash tickets!!

JOXER!!! the whole song but in particular these verses get me every time, a staple song for any trip away from home!!

As soon as we found Stuttgart we got the wagons in a ring
Sean Og got out the banjo and Peter played the mandolin
There was fans there from everywhere attracted by the sound
At the first Fleadh Ceoil in Europe, and Joxer passed the flagon round

and:

The next morning none of the experts gave us the slightest chance
They said the English team would lead us on a merry dance
With their Union Jacks all them English fans for victory they were set
Until Ray Houghton got the ball and he stuck it in the net.

What happened next is history, brought tears to many eyes
That day will be the highlight of many people's lives
Joxer climbed right over the top and the last time he was seen
Was arm in arm with Jack Charlton singing, Revenge for Skibereen

always gives me hope of that upset!!!

Skid

Sand ran through my fingers
And the land was hot
Anointed by Apollo and his chariot
Disarmed by your charm

That night I felt it again
Addictive and consuming
Love's sweet pain

Ash - Walking Barefoot.

Darragh

Hey all, GREAT news

Instead of the 5 pairs of tickets I have to give away, I now have 10 pairs, so I'll pick them and contact them in the morning

Thanks for all the entries - some songs there I'm gonna have to check out - and will be in touch tomorrow.

Cheers
