Bowie 'I never done good things I never done bad things I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh Want an axe to break the ice Wanna come down right now Ashes to ashes, funk to funky We know Major Tom's a junkie Strung out in heaven's high Hitting an all-time low.'

Timeless Lyrics. Please no Youtube. Just the words. Go with it. on 12:56 - Jun 9 with 3636 views | TacticalR | Michel Legrand, composer of Windmills of Your Mind, died in January this year. The French version (Windmills of My Heart), although similar, doesn't have the psychedelic feel of the English version. This is the French version (translated back into English): Like a pebble that one tosses in a living, swirling stream And the thousand circles spreading on the water as it flows Like the starry horses spinning on the moon's merry-go-round Like the flattened rings of Saturn, or a carnival balloon Like the circle path that's followed by the hours without end Like the journey round the world of a sunflower in bloom You set spinning by your name all the windmills of my heart Like a skein of yarn unravelled by the small hands of a child Or the words to an old favourite on the soft harps of the wind Like the snow caught in a whirlwind, like the seagulls' wheeling flight Over Norway's towering pine trees, over white-capped ocean waves Like the circle path that's followed by the hours without end Like the journey round the world of a sunflower in bloom You set spinning by your name all the windmills of my heart Michel Legrand, Moulins de mon cœur https://lyricstranslate.com/en/les-moulins-de-mon-coeur-windmills-my-heart.html | ![](/images/avatars/7026.gif) |

G on 04:33 - Jun 13 with 3494 views | DannyPaddox | Weller got a bit of a bashing in the 'patronising lyrics' thread which is fair enough but for me his timeless 'on point' output far outweighs any naive faux-pahs ... I was hoping we'd make real progress But it seems we have lost the power Any tiny step of advancement Is like a raindrop falling into the ocean We're running on the spot - always have - always will? We're just the next generation of emotionally crippled Though we keep piling up the building blocks The structure never seems to get any higher Because we keep kicking out the foundations And stand useless while our lives fall down I believe in life - and I believe in love But the world in which I live in - keeps trying to prove me wrong Out in the pastures we call society You can't see further than the bottom of your glass Only young but easily shocked You get all violent when the boat gets rocked Just like sheep - little lambs into the slaughter Don't fully grasp what exactly is wrong Truth is you never cared - still You get all violent when the boat gets rocked Intelligence should be our first weapon And stop reveling in rejection And follow yourselves, not some ageing drain brain Whose quite content to go on feeding you garbage We're running on the spot - always have - always will?

Timeless Lyrics. Please no Youtube. Just the words. Go with it. on 08:24 - Jul 19 with 3132 views | ted_hendrix | Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming, Saying something about a queen. There were peasants singing and drummers drumming, And the archer split the tree. There was a fanfare blowing to the sun That was floating on the breeze. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. Look at Mother Nature on the run In the nineteen seventies. I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst through the sky. There was a band playing in my head, And I felt like getting high. I was thinking about what a friend had said. I was hoping it was a lie. Thinking about what a friend had said. I was hoping it was a lie. Well, I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying In the yellow haze of the sun. There were children crying and colors flying All around the chosen ones. All in a dream, all in a dream The loading had begun. Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun. Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home. | ![](/images/avatars/1438.gif) |

Timeless Lyrics. Please no Youtube. Just the words. Go with it. on 16:22 - May 26 by Discodroids | Ivory Madonna dying in the dust, Waiting for the manna coming from the west. Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes, Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies. Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead. Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head. Politician's argue sharpening their knives. Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives. |
Such a great lyric from one of the best debut 45s from one of the best debut 33s ever. I’ve never heard it get credit for inspiring the philanthropic pop-fest that was Live-Aid, which it surely did, or the song at least. Check the contrast in tone of the last verse: Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way. Hear the angels singing, what is that they say? Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay. Jesus son of Mary is born again today. Ivory Madonna dying in the dust, Waiting for the manna coming from the west. Three/ four years after writing that UB40 were strangely missing from the Live Aid shows. | ![](/images/avatars/17496.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
