How Long Is Too Long Wasn't Long Enough

[Nearly Sane]

How does the earth around your feet
 Just slip away?
 And abandon that greets you in the night
 With snake eyes, the most precious kind

 It's in the eyes!
 I can tell, you will always be danger!
 We had it tonight! Why do you always seek absolution?
 It's in the eyes!
 I can tell you will always be danger!

(Apologies for posting a Mumford and Meh lyric)

[ekim]

Don't know when I've been so blue
Don't know what's come over you
You've found someone new and
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true and
Don't it make my brown eyes blue

[Nearly Sane]

When my fist clenches
 Crack it open
 Before I use it
 And lose my cool

 And when I smile
 Tell me some bad news
 Before I laugh
 And act like a fool

And if I swallow
 Anything evil
 Put your finger
 Down my throat

 And if I shiver
 Please give me a blanket
 Keep me warm
 Let me wear your coat

 No one knows what it's like
 To be the bad man
 To be the sad man
 Behind blue eyes

[Robbie]

Well they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'til I get through
Because I'm bad, I'm bad come on
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
You know I'm bad, I'm bad come on, you know
And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again
Who's bad

[Nearly Sane]

On the day I was born
 The nurses all gathered 'round
 And they gazed in wide wonder
 At the joy they had found
 The head nurse spoke up
 Said "leave this one alone"
 She could tell right away
 That I was bad to the bone

[Robbie]

For some reason I find your above song quite depressing!

My love,
I'll never find the words my love, to tell you how I feel my love.
Mere words, could not explain.
Precious love,
You held my life within your hands, created everything I am,
Taught me how to live again.
Only you,
Cared when I needed a friend, believed in me through thick and thin,
This song is for you, filled with gratitude and love

God bless you, you make me feel brand new,
For God blessed me with you, you make me feel brand new,
I sing this song 'cause you, make me feel brand new.

[ekim]

I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

[Robbie]

Baby, look at me
And tell me what you see
You ain't seen the best of me yet
Give me time
I'll make you forget the rest
I got more in me
And you can set it free
I can catch the moon in my hand
Don't you know who I am
Remember my name, fame
I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna learn how to fly, high

[ekim]

I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly

[Robbie]

You did that one very recently, ekim (tho' I can't find it, can't see for looking); iirc, NSane made a comment about it at the time.

She makes me laugh
She makes me cry
With a twinkle of her eye

She flies like a bird in the sky
She flies like a bird and I wish that she was mine
She flies like a bird
Oh me, oh my
I see, I sigh
Now I know, I can't let Maggie go

[ekim]

Ah yes, that was a sore point.  I've probably got a one track mind..... but

I'll never forget the people I met
Braving those angry skies
I remember well as the shadows fell
The light of hope in their eyes
And though I'm far away
I still can hear them say
"Thumbs up!"
For when the dawn comes up
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free.

[Robbie]

Wide and deep and high as the heavens
Is my love for you, is my love for you
Wide and deep and high as the heavens
Is my love for you

Lay down your burdens, lay them before me
Lift up your eyes to the warmth of the sun
Peace like a river flowing so freely
Will flow over you before this day is done

[ekim]

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way.

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me.

[Robbie]

That's nice ekim.

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you're near the rain just disappears, dear
And I feel so fine
Just to know that you are mine
My life is sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
That's how this refrain goes
Come on, join in, everybody
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is sure to come your way
When you're in love to stay
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows

[ekim]

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

[Robbie]

You don't remember me
But I remember you 't was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate
Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart
Caused by you, you, you, you, you

Love is not a gadget, love is not a toy
When you find the one you love, he'll fill your heart with joy
If we could start anew, I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back, and tempt the hands of fate

Tears on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by you, you
No, no no no now, no, no no
You, you,you

[ekim]

Pillow talk, pillow talk
Another night of hearing myself talk, talk, talk, talk
Wonder how it would be to have someone to pillow talk with me
I wonder how
I wonder who

Pillow talk, pillow talk
Another night of being alone with pillow talk
When it's all said and done, two heads together can be better than one
That's what they say
They always say

[Robbie]

I got the lonesome blues tonight
Won’t you stay here dear friend that’s what I need
Someone to hold me tight well it’s all right
I got the lonesome blues tonight

I got the homely blues tonight
May be got some time to lend I’ll try to be
The one you miss tonight make you feel all right
I got the homely blues tonight

I got the cold cold blues tonight
Won’t you try to understand if I can be
With someone else tonight when you dim the light
I got the cold cold blues tonight

[ekim]

Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!

[Robbie]

Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain
Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain
Takin' pills and cheap whiskey, just to try to ease the pain

It's hard to gamble when you lose every bet
Hard to save money when you're twenty years in debt
The blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people, and disconnect my brain

I made some mistakes, had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work and my whole body aches
Blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain
My life is like water, just swirlin' down the drain

[ekim]

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha aha
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world
It's a rich man's world.

[Aruntraveller]

Money makes the world go around
The world go around
The world go around
Money makes the world go around
It makes the world go 'round.


A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound
A buck or a pound
A buck or a pound
Is all that makes the world go around,
That clinking clanking sound
Can make the world go 'round.

[Robbie]

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

[ekim]

Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away

Come fly with me, we'll float down to Peru
In llama-land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come on fly with me, we'll float down in the blue.

[Robbie]

All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
