favorite simple but beautiful lyrics

[fizzygirl]

Do you know those songs that you feel are "right"...that when you hear them, they remind you of how you want to feel one day. It's true, that they aren't always deep or thought filled, but they are honest and simple and true? Please share yours...they might be "cheesy" but they aren't exactly untrue.....

Here's mine. I hear it occasionally, in the grocery store, or mall and my eyes tear up whenever I do, because it just sound so easy and so lovely, to be able to feel this way for the rest of my life would be fine.
Our House
~Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
"I'll light the fire
You put the flowers in the vase
That you brought today
Staring at the fire
For hours and hours
While I listen to you
Play your love songs
All night long for me
Only for me
Come to me now
And rest your head for just five minutes
Everything is good
Such a cosy room
The windows are illuminated
By the sunshine through them
Fiery gems just for you
Only for you
Our house is a very, very fine house
with two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy
'Cause of you
And our la, la, la......
I'll light the fire
And you place the flowers in the jar
That you bought today....

dmb-say goodbye
So here we are tonight,
you and me together
The storm outside, the fire is bright
And in your eyes I see
what's on my mind
You've got me wild
turned around inside
And then desire, see, is creeping
up heavy inside here
And know you feel the same way
I do now
Now let's make this an evening
Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight
Stay here with me, love, tonight
just for an evening
When we make
our passion pictures
You and me twist up
secret creatures
And we'll stay here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
But tonight let's be lovers,
We kiss and sweat
We'll turn this better thing
to the best
Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss
Tangled tongues and lips,
See me this way
I'm turning and turning for you
Girl, just tonight
Float away here with me
An evening just wait and see
But tomorrow go back to your man
I'm back to my world
And we're back to being friends
Wait and see me,
Tonight let's do this thing
All we are is wasting hours
until the sun comes up it's all ours
On our way here
Tomorrow go back to being friends
Go back to being friends
Tonight let's be lovers, say you will
And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love
A thing or two I have to say here
Tonight let's go all the way then
Love I'll see you,
Just for this evening
Let's strip down, trip out at this
One evening starts with a kiss
Run away
And tomorrow
back to being friends
Lovers...love...lovers
Just for tonight, one night...love you
And tomorrow say goodbye

Placebo-36 degrees
this one is a recent addiction. I listen to it like 890000 times a day...coz its how i feel a lot lately...
We were tight
But it falls apart
As silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight
And burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment
And stick it in a box
I've never been an extrovert
But i'm still breathing
Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
It's what i'm afraid of
Some tried to do me ache
It's what i'm afraid of
With hindsight
I was more than blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances
Lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert
Happily bleeding
Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
Some tried to do me ache
It's what i'm afraid of
Some tried to do me ache
It's what i'm afraid of
Four, seven, two, three, nine, eight, five
I gotta breathe to stay alive
And one, four, two, night, seven, eight
Feels like i'm gonna suffocate
Fourteen, sixteen, twenty-two
This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees
Shoulder toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I'm Thirty six degrees

Great thread, fizzy!
Ladies and Gentlemen . . . The Rolling Stones:
"I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection,
At her feet was her foot-loose man.
And you can't always get what you want,
Honey, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
We went down to the demonstration to get our fair share of abuse,
Singing, "We gonna vent our frustration"
If we don't we'll blow a fifty amp fuse
So, I went to the Chelsea Drugstore to get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with my friend, Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda,
My fav'rite flavor was cherry red
I sing this song to my friend, Jimmy,
And he said one word to me and that was "dead"
And you can't always get what you want, honey
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception,
I could tell by her blood-stained hands
And you can't always get what you want, honey
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!
And you can' always get what you want, honey,
You can't always get what you want,
You cant always get what you want,
But if you try sometime, yeah,
You just might find you get what you need!"

Abbey Road is probably one of the all-time greatest albums ever released. Though each song is brilliant and beautiful and the lyrics pull you straight in, I've always thought that tracks 8 thru 16 sound like one long song. Track 16 being the most lovely of them all...
The End
by The Beatles
Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.
this song really gets me, too.

Everlong by Foo Fighters.
----------
Hello, I've waited here for you, everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into and out of the red, out of her head she sang
Come down and waste away with me, down with me
Slow how, you wanted it to be, I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang
Breathe out, so I can breathe you in, hold you in
And now, I know you've always been out of your head, out of my head I sang
And I wonder when I sing along with you if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when she sang
And I wonder if everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when
Waltz #2 by Elliot Smith
------------
first the mic then a half cigarette
singing cathy's clown
that's the man she's married to now
that's the girl that he takes around town
she appears composed, so she is, I suppose
who can really tell?
she shows no emotion at all
stares into space like a dead china doll
I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow
now she's done and they're calling someone
such a familiar name
I'm so glad that my memory's remote
'cos I'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note
here it is the revenge to the tune
"you're no good,
you're no good you're no good you're no good"
can't you tell that it's well understood
I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on
I'm tired
I'm tired
looking out on the substitute scene
still going strong
XO, mom
it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong
tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone
in the place where I make no mistakes
in the place where I have what it takes
I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow
I'm never gonna know you now, but I'm gonna love you anyhow

Southern Cross by CSN&Y
Whenever I hear this song I smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Got out of town on a boat, going to Southern islands.
Sailing a reach before a following sea.
She was making for the trades on the outside, and the downhill run to Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas,
we got eighty feet of the waterline, nicely making way.
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you.
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away.
Think about how many times I have fallen. Spirits are using me, larger voices calling.
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world, looking for that woman-girl who knows love can endure.
And you know it will, and you know it will.
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time,
you understand now why you came this way.
Cause the truth you might be running from is so small.
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day.
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dying.
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
I have my ship and all her flags are a flying.
She is all that I have left and music is her name.
Think about how many times I have fallen. Spirits are using me, larger voices calling.
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
I have been around the world, looking for that woman-girl who knows love can endure.
And you know it will, and you know it will.
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
and we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do.
You will survive being bested.
Somebody fine will come along, make me forget about loving you at the Southern Cross.

3 Libras-A Perfect Circle
Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name in your recolection
Down among a million same
Difficult not to feel a little bit
Dissapointed and passed over
When I look right through
See you naked and oblivious
And you dont....see.....me
But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if theres more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded
But I see, see through it all
See through....see you
Cause I through you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy
Oh well.....Oh well
Apparently nothing
Apparently nothing at all
you dont
you dont
you dont see me
you dont see me at all

Tim Buckley - Sing A Song For You
in my heart is where i long for you
in my smile i search for you
each time you turn and run away i cry inside
my silly way, just too young to know any more
in my world the devil dances and dares
yo leave my soul just anywhere
until i find peace in this world
i'll sing a song everywhere i can
just too young to know any more
the wind covers me cold
the starry skies all around my eyes
far behind the city moans
well worthy of the people there
oh, the psalms they love to hear
so let me sing a song for you
just to help your day along
let me sing a song for you
one i've known so very long
oh, please could you find the time
Radiohead - The Tourist
it barks at no else but me
like it's seen a ghost
i guess it seen the sparks a flowing
no one else would know
hey man slow down
slow down
idiot slow down
slow down
sometimes i get overcharged
that's when you see sparks
you ask me where the hell i'm going?
at 1000 feet per second
hey man slow down
slow down
idiot slow down
slow down
hey man slow down
slow down
idiot slow down
slow down
Ry.
