There's nothing colder than goodbye(Bobby Paris-l Walked Away)

"you said i was yr pet

cos you treated me like a dog and ill bet

if there was a prize for heartbreaking girls

you would be the champion of the whole wide world"

STOP

Four Tops - I can't seem to get you out of my mind

Loads of great lines:

I tried so hard since you been away - too fill each lonely hour of the day - I stop to read almost every sign but when day is done I can't seem to get you out of my mind

The neon lights appear, to spell your name through eyes that tear - though people are all around me your sweet voice is the only sound I hear - I try to fit into the world I see, and forget the world that belong to you and me

and so it keeps on going!! great lyrics and Levi!!!

"You may get what you want,here today"

"But you'd better make sure that it'll last always"

"Cos you will never found another sucker like me"

Part of the heart wrenching lyrics of Sam Dees - "After all"

Dynamite and nitroglycerin are like a firecracker compared to you

and building on that

"Its almost like eating beans by the pound... then wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down"

Southside Movement - Do It To Me - 21 st Century

What on earth were those writers thinking !!

"Dont say goodbye with my heart still breaking, dont leave me hear with my body aching"

and building on that

"Its almost like eating beans by the pound... then wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down"

its like plasing a cannon , undereath my chin , and then declairing war on me just how can i win

"It'd take ten women ten years of hard loving

to make me feel the way that you do"

The Persuaders- 'You Must Have Put Something In Your Love'

Forgive me if I've boffed the line up, but it should be close...

For years I thought a line from Tower Of Power YSAYM was " I could make you happy, I'm not a bad man" then I recently found out that it was actually "I could make you happy, I'm not a mad lad" and I thought that it was a brilliant line

Just about every line from "Cashin' In"

however modified for Soul-Sourcers I choose this one

"When I found you had opened my record box, that was the last straw, I can't take it no more"

''GIRL IM ON FIRE WHEN I SEE YOU DANCE

MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL BUST MY PANTS ''

"And if a double-decker bus crashes into us

To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck kills the both of us

To die by your side, well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine..."

("There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" - The Smiths/lyrics by Morrissey)

"I have so much confidence when I'm by myself

It's like my nerves wore an armoured coat

But you're such a charmer, you melt that coat of armour

And the words from my heart get caught up in my throat - maybe I'd better write a note..."

("When The Words From Your Heart Get Caught Up In Your Throat" - The Miracles/lyrics by Willaim Robinson)

...honestly can't choose between the two..

Billy Butler-'Come Over To My Side'.

'I've got so much love I just give it away'

Got to be one of the best

'Don't take my kindness as a weakness'

An actor's life is not for me, but I play the part so well,

though my heart is broken down inside, no one can ever tell,

they look at me, but they don't see this sad but lonely clown (now baby),

if they took a closer look, they'd see the smile was upside down,

if they could turn me over, their gonna see,

there's really two sides of me,

and I hurt all on the other side.........

Sheer poetry!

Ian D

Where did you get that from???!!!!!!!!!

Jerry Cook's "I Hurt On The Other Side".

I bumped into Sydney Barnes (the writer) a few years ago in the South of France, bowed, then fell to my knees on the croisette and said "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy......."

Ian D

these intro lines always do it for me, unsurpassable:

Now if there's a smile on my face

it's only there trying to fool the public

but when it comes down to fooling you

now honey that's quite a diff'rent subject.

AND

The moment I wake up

Before I put on my makeup

I say a little prayer for you

And if I had a penny for each time I told my mates how much I like the lyrics to Jo Ann Courcy's "I got the power" I could afford an original by now...

How about-Its almost like eating beans by the pound,the wrapping up in adhesive tape from the waist down--------Blowing up my mind

I think the whole of the sad, slightly cynical lyric to Native New Yorker is seriously underrated, but I especially love:

"And love, love is just a passing word

It's the thought you had in a taxi cab that got left on the kerb

When he dropped you off, at East 83rd...

...And where did all those yesterdays go?

When you still believed love could really be like a Broadway show

You were the star, when did it close?"

And for sad songs you cant beat Another Star:

For you, there might be a brighter star

But through my eyes the light of you is all I see

For you, there might be another song

But all my heart can hear is your melody

From the Four Tracks' Charade:

"But my love is enormous, I need another performance" ooer matron!

And to top them all off:

Sup up your beer and collect your fags

There's a row going on down near Slough

Always thought that the line "girl you've got the best of me, please come take the rest of me" was a cracker from Chairman of the Board's You Got Me Dangling On A Sting.

Also, "when you walk in a room right away I start to swoon, I'm not sure what you got but what it is I like a lot". I Got A Feeling by Barbara Randolf.

"im your pimp , i wear my hat to the side an i walk with a limp"

"drinkin from a ? jar , tryin to tel me how unhappy you are "

"and when you find that his love wont do , try mine see what it does for you"

Two tracks, one artist:

I'm gonna play Russian roulette, six bullets in my gun.

Now I may not have this absolutely bang on on but:

but that innocent and sweetness manifest upon your face, can't portray whats really in your heart - my faith in you is all gone.

Like Joan's great suggestion I'm the One, there's a few killer lines from James Dockery.

Four Tops - I can't seem to get you out of my mind

Loads of great lines:

I tried so hard since you been away - too fill each lonely hour of the day - I stop to read almost every sign but when day is done I can't seem to get you out of my mind

and so it keeps on going!! great lyrics and Levi!!!

beat me to it

"Call me were the last words I remember ..... Levi Stubbs

I,m like a little volcano about to erupt more than enough to fill your loving cup

not northern but poetry none the less

youre a girl who hates to see people happy

unless youre happy too

and its breaking my heart

coz its making us drift apart

so humbly i ask of you

to undo the wrong that you done

eddie,lamont and brian i salute you

Sticking my head in the oven after turning on the gas........and then lighting up a cigarette just how can I last..........

How about "My mouth wrote a cheque .......that my heart couldn't cash" ?

Cheers Paul

parliaments superb

Terrible Tom............. Love it to death!!

great record mate, some classic lines in that one

When youre youth and beauty are suddenly gone

When you look back and see that time marches on

Make sure you have someone who loves you

Make Sure....The Dells

i can tell by the way my day begins

my toast is burning

SID,BRING BACK THE KILT!

oops.its grover mitchell on vanguard

Love is a girl like you babe, so warm and oh so tender,

Love is a power baby thats making me surrender.

When I look into your soft eyes I melt like candy jam,

I'll do anything to please you, yes anything I can.

I was born by a railroad track,

All that I have is on my back,

My pockets are empty I don't have a dime,

But I don't care right now if you were only mine...

-BUDDY ACE - TRUE LOVE MONEY JUST CAN'T BUY

But if you leave me a hundred times, a hundred times i'll take you back - This old heart of mine

watching the clouds in the sky - Something New to do

What started out to be such a good thing

Has taken my pride and replaced it with shame

I can't face my friends 'cause I know what they're thinking

Now I understand how some men start drinking

I'm like a drowning man in a sea of misery

Never thought this could happen to me

I'm smoking more but enjoying it less

I get a whole lotta sleep but I don't get enough rest

Jimmy Conwell - Too Much

Len Barry (and Johnny Caswell) - I.O.U.

Better to be a poor mans lover than a play thing for a rich boy,

Better to be everything to someone than just somebodys toy

Better to have so body love you for what you are and not what he can get

Better to be an honest woman than an expensive bitch

Ruby Winters - Better

There's nothing colder than goodbye(Bobby Paris-l Walked Away)

all that i have is a handfull of rain,

all that i own is my soul and my name,

would i be different with a shine on my shoes?

i am what i am and to be what i am

i've got to pay my dues

all that i have is a handfull of rain,

all that i own is my soul and my name,

would i be different with a shine on my shoes?

i am what i am and to be what i am

i've got to pay my dues

Good Arrow

Paul

But if you leave me a hundred times, a hundred times i'll take you back - This old heart of mine

Right up there with

Leaving just your picture behind, and I've kissed it a thousand times.

But my fave still remains, from school days.

Sufferers love I give to you

you dont know the suffering I go through

And of course.

You destroy me.
