"If life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car"

You can't run away forever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start

I'm not afraid to show you who I am
And I am not ashamed of my life
Though I've walked alone down this cold and soulless road
I've always felt you deep in my bones

Money is power, power is fame

And my ultimate fav has to be 'Im gonna hit the highway like a batterin ram, Im a cilla Black fan allright' :D

Then I saw you like a summer dream
And you´re the answer to every pray that I ever said

'When the sweat is sizzling on your skin in the dark
And you're desperate now for somewhere to turn
Every muscle in rebellion, every nerve is on edge
And every limb has been erotically burned'

And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game - it's just a rout

So true :?

Wow, there's heaps, I could be here all day.

But I'll Never Stop Dreaming Of You Every Night Of My Life, No Way
I Would Do Anything For Love, But I Won't Do That

Good Girls Go To Heaven, Bad Girls Go Everywhere

And You Will Never See A Day I'll Ever Break Your Heart
You'll See The Sky Fall Down Before It Ever Gets That Far
I'll Show You Heaven Every Second That You're In My Arms
Baby I'm Crazy, But I'm Crazy About You

But If I Touch You Like This
And If You Kiss Me Like that
It Was So Long Ago
But It's All Coming Back To Me Now

She's Kinda Like A Rose
She'll Cut You On You're Thumb
She'll Kick You When Your Low
And F*ck You When She's Done

And I Shiver At The Thought Of You
I Can't Believe That You Love Me too
And We Quiver When We Touch
I Can't Believe I Love You So Much
And I Hate It When You Walk Away
I Know We Can't Go On This Way
But There's Magic When We Touch
I Can't Believe I Love You So Much

I've Got Steel On My fingers
Granite On My Breath
A Bottle In One Ear
And A spike In My chest
A Nickel In My Boot
And My Finger In A damn
I Hang Out With A Bunch Of Losers I Call My Friends

See The Sparks Fly When You're Standing By My Side
Every Step, Every Move, Everything I Do
Life Is Beautiful Because Of You

The Icy Cold Will Cut Us Like A Knife In The Dark
And We May Lose Everything In the Wind
But The Northern Lights Are Burning
And The're Giving Off Sparks
I Want To Wrap Myself Around You Like A Winter Skin

The Darkest Night Ain't Black Enough
To Keep The Morning Light From Shining
The Highest Wall Ain't Tall Enough
To Keep The Smallest Man From Climbing
The More That You Resist The Tide
The More It Pulls You In
The More You Hang On for Your Life

The Whole of For Crying Out Loud and What About Love

Carole

I always find it interesting at the end of IDAFL when it sounds like.
"No I wont do that, No I wont do Anything for love"

My heart flowed through my broken voice to her.

well I know I was never much than you expected so I expect I won't disappoint.

We've got two thousand miles between here and home, they won't even know we're gone

I want to take you in my backseat now and slowly drive you home.

so much more, but one coming from Handbasket,

the entire 40 days, especially how Meat nails it.

'Maybe I'm crazy, and I'm losing my senses
Maybe I'm possessed by a spirit or such
Maybe I'm desp'rate and I've got no defences
Can you get me a prescription for that one perfect touch'

'I'm not afraid to show you who I am
And I am not ashamed of my life'

and for personal reasons the sencond and third verses of 'Objects'.

**Just a few of my favs**

I remember everything, I remember every little thing as if it only happened yesterday I was barely 17.

And I said daddy you know I love you but you got hell a lot to learn about Rock N Roll.

Theres nothing wrong with getting a good head start.

Maybe you can talk all night but that will never change the way I feel
I want you, I need you but I'm never gonna love you

WAY WAY too many to narrow it down to a favorite but some I really like are

Peel Out...My body is the car and my soul is the ignition Your love will be the key and we'll jockey for position till we

Piece of the action... They hand you a paycheck every week and steal a piece of your soul every day

Execution day... Father my hand's are shakin' I see a light that's breakin' Show me a way to set my soul free

All of me... This is my anger, These are my doubts, These are my emotions, all strung out.

+ the whole of Heaven can wait & For crying out loud.

"Rock And Roll Hero" :
When the white hot lights cut thru the night
And the sound of the thunder starts roaring
That's when you know what you're savin' it for
And you're feeling like a rock 'n' roll hero

"Did I Say That" ;):cool: :
Did I say that?
Sometimes you know I over react
And what I say is not a matter of fact
I wish that I could take it all back

"Another Day" :
For me I think the hardest part
Is just watching while she falls apart
I try but we both know it's true
There ain't a damn thing I can do



Jim lyrics? Maybe this :
"Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are" :
if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car

Also the following line from Good Girls Go To Heaven always makes me laugh:

Oh the seconds go on for ever, but the third and the fourth ones are even better!

Genius!

Agree- I love that line. :-)

I also like, "You've been nothing but an angel every day of your life, and now you wonder what it's like to be damned".

"And though the nightmares should be over
Some of the terrors are still intact
I'll hear that ugly coarse and violent voice
And then he grabs me from behind and then he pulls me back".

The child inside of me still cries evertime I think about those words.

Although Jim is the Ultimate Lyricist and I cant choose because I love them all, the one I find myself thinking about the most and singing the most is from Objects:

"She used her body just like a bandage,
She used my body just like a wound.
I'll never know where she disappeared
But I can see her rising up out of the back seat now"

It's a lovely ending to a tragic song

"I treasure your love,
I never wanna lose it,
You've been through the fires of hell,
And I know you've got the ashes to prove it.

Remember everything that I've told you
And I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,
And let the drummer telly your heart what to do."

Changed my whole life, and I was very proud to walk the aisle at our wedding to it :up:

When I listen to your heart I hear the whole world turning, I see the shooting stars falling through your trembling hands.

great song and great lyrics

is it a blessing or is it a curse
does it get any better
can it get any worse

Just some that come to mind at the moment:

Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart
Still beating
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a Bat out of Hell

You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach
You'll never drill for oil on a city street
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no coup de ville
Hiding at the bottom of a crackerjack box

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
Paradise by the dashboard light

I'm in the middle of nowhere
Near the end of the line
But there's a border to somewhere waiting
And there's a tankful of time
Give me just another moment to see the light of the day
And take me to another land where I don't have to stay
And I'm gonna need somebody to make me feel like you do
And I will receive somebody with open arms, open eyes
Open up the sky and let the planet that I love shine through

Now I think I'm gonna have to leave you
Because I'm feeling much too weak to share
And the pie, oh it's cut in too many pieces
The flavor that I crave is no longer there

If everything is permitted
If nothing ever is taboo
Then there is always something shattered
When there is something breaking through

Brother to brother
All the blood runs red
Don't roll over, don't play dead
We're all living on Razor's Edge

Can't you hear the planet groaning like a broken down machine
Rusted with the guilty tears of fallen kings and queens
But you and I stand innocent
Baby, it's a brand new world
Gimmee the future with a modern girl

Your heart is trying to rock but it can barely beat at all
Your soul is trying to run but all your body does is crawl
You don't need any signal
You don't need any sign
Nothing's gonna stop you
Once you cross over the line

Father, my hands are shaking
I see the light that's breaking
Show me the way to set my soul free
I hope it rains on me
Let it rain on me

I don't want to live without love anymore
I just want to live my life
Love's gonna open up the door
Show me it's light again

After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on

There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergent gets it out

Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

Is this a blessing? Or is it a curse?
Does it get any better? Can it get any worse?
Will it go on forever? Or is it over tonight?
Does it come with the darkness? Does it bring out the light?
Is it richer than diamonds?
Or just a little cheaper than spit?
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit
I don't know what it is but it just won't quit

Somewhere some girl is crazy
And some body's half out of his head
Somewhere there's just a moment
Where it all remains unsaid
Somewhere two hearts are pounding
And they don't care what's correct
Somewhere somebody's falling in love...

You can dance forever
You've got a fire in your feet
But will it ever be enough?
You know that it'll never be enough
You can fly and never land
And never need to sleep
But will it ever be enough?
You know that it'll never be enough

Just do it!

The final words on the final page
Will be your name cause I believe
Your love is blind
Blind as a Bat

Can't you hear the choir now?
Listen to the animals sing
Can't you hear the slaughterhouse bells?
In the land of the pig the butcher is king
In the land of the pig the butcher is king

Let your dreams out of their cages
Every passion and desire
Let your visions be outrageous
Set your fantasies on fire
Everything will be permitted
There'll be nothing left to fear
I've got the magic in your body
Your inhibitions disappear

Have you a heart that beats?
Have you a breath to breathe?
And have you veins that bleed?
Have you a brain that dreams?
Is it so hard to see
That we're all the same machine?
Don't we all live and die
Under the same Blue Sky?

That was a long post ......beats carol I think :)

"And breathing is just no fun anymore"

Who is she?
