snarfmaster C Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 just before our love got lost you said 'i am as constant as the northern star' and i said 'constantly in the darkness.. where's that at.. if you want me i'll be at the bar.' yup.. that's how it is for me today. if i weren't feeling so obligated to be mindlessly entering data that's where you'd find me too. damn. it's not even noon.

Sarahbelle Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone... Joni Mitchell is sooo talented and beautiful. She rocks. Cheers, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velvet Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 I met a woman She had a mouth like yours She knew your life She knew your devils and your deeds And she said, "Go to him, stay with him if you can But be prepared to bleed" But you are in my blood You're my holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you, Darling And I would still be on my feet I would still be on my feet Yeah, Joni knows stuff.

AdamH Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Joni indeeed rocks. I have three contributions to this topic: BEST LYRIC USING "JIVE": Where are you now Are you in some hotel room Does it have a view? Are you caught in a crowd Or holding some honey Who came on to you? Why do you have to be so jive O.k. hang up the phone It hurts But something survives Though it's undermined I'd still like to see you sometime BEST SONG USING CIRCUIT METAPHORS: We once loved-together And we floodlit that time Input-output-electricity But the lines overloaded And the sparks started flying And the loose wires Were lashing out at me She's not going to fix that up Too easy But she holds out her candle And she shines it in And she begs him to show her How to fix it again While the song that he sang her To soothe her to sleep Runs all through her circuits Like a heartbeat She's not going to fix it up Too easy BEST BAND-THEMED SONG: She tapes her regrets To the microphone stand She says "you can't hold the hand Of a rock'n'roll man Very long Or count on your plans With a rock'n'roll man Very long Compete with the fans For your rock'n'roll man For very long The girls and the bands And the rock'n'roll man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted June 19, 2003 Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 Nice one Mary. I recently learned that the line was "My mind see-saws". For the longest time I thought she was singing "My mind sees stars". Joni's line is better. By the way, damn you all for getting NOTHING but Joni songs stuck in my head for the last 24 hours.

snarfmaster C Posted June 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2003 I am on a lonely road and I am travelling. I'm looking for the key to set me free. Velvet you should be happy there are good songs drifting through your head - better than one of those On Glove tunes that won't go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
