Simsy Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Sleepless nights I lie awake, thinking how my heart is breakin. backed with a thumping bass, George Blackwell brilliant. Good choice. "When you've got the troubles of the world on your shoulders and each passing day the sun grows a little colder, your future doesn't look any brighter, your load isn't getting any lighter, you're down and push has come to shove, now is the time to try my love". "They say the race is not won by the fast, but by the man who endures to the last, if I have to spend a lifetime making you mine then I'm well prepared for the task". "I've seen a whole lotta' women, I've held a lot of hands, I've kissed the sweetest lips from Jane to Marry-ann, but I'm sticking with you baby, like a fuse to dynamite, I'll bust in a million pieces if you don't love me tonight".

Soulie_girl_80 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I know the reason you've been crying Oh yes I heard she won't be needing you How does it feel being the one left behind What's a matter baby is it hurting you I know you found out she's been cheating And I heard she even told you she was untrue How does it feel being on the outside looking in What's a matter baby is it hurting you Remember Remember when I needed you so bad Remember Remember what you had to say You told me to find another shoulder to cry on Then you laughed You laughed and you walked away I know that you've been asking about me (ha-ha) And I'm sorry but I've got somebody new Now my hurting is just about over But baby it's just starting for you! love this Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Dante Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Being totally honest, I've always thought that lyrics is northern's week spot. Maybe because english is not my mother language, maybe because I've always liked reeaaaally good lyrics (look at my avatar ) Anyway, I like Backstreet by Edwin. But one of the faves deffo is Irma Thomas' Don't Mess With My Man: "The money my husband makes is for greenpeas and rice but my man gives me steak now, ain't that nice? You can have my husband but please dont mess with my man" haha great! Cheers from Mexico... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Barry Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I could just write the whole lyrics out for Bits 'n Pieces - 'Keep On Running Away', but the opening line sets the scene for the tale well enough...

Guest rachel Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Always a favourite line for me is from Shirley Whal's - 'That's How Long' - King 'Tell the DJs they've got nothing to say... until they have no more records to play' I used to have this one as my signature on here - I think it's 'until the DJs have nothing to say...' though.You don't know the suffering I go through - Dena Barnes. Oh yes, and I'm with Chrissie on Jerry Williams as well, the alpha.. omega.. line sends shivers down my spine. Have to seriously think about this one but I'll be back with some quotes I'm sure... I'm a bit of a lyrics obsessive. Remember hearing some 'advice' about soul which I think came second hand from Jo Wallace..

Deegee Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 A distant night and lonely days I see your face in many ways, But you are gone, and Im alone, I need your love to carry me through, carry me through and The way hold your head, to understand what I say, Oh this gets to me baby, the way you pout and cry everytime I say goodbye, it gets to me baby, The way you give your kiss from your soul not your lips, the way you hold me tenderly, this gets to me oh, baby how it gets to me! and It takes gallons of water, to make the deepest sea, it takes a whole lot of pain, to make a misery, But all it took was a little kiss, to make my poor heart feel like this, filled with joy and filled with glee, I dont know whats come over me.
