That’s an illusion. I might stay until 1 or 2 a couple of nights a week watching a film or playing guitar. She goes off her nut if I wake her up.

felix Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Cat Stevens should feature on a thread on great lyricists imo. One of his earliest, and finest,recorded around 1967 ; just before the magnificent Tea for the Tillerman, a lockdown discovery treat.

Costanza Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Neil Tennant has to be one of the greatest pop lyricists and songwriters of all time. Aidan Moffat is an excellent lyricist as well. The most recent Arab Strap album is brilliant with lyrics to match. Not often you hear the word shitehawk in a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people would stick their noses up at that, and they'd be wrong. Good shout on Regina Spektor as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micole Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Talking to a friend of mine this morning He told me how his life was gonna change All the reaching for the skies And dreams unrealised Had left him alone with his pain And he just couldn't face it again I said didn't you believe in tomorrow ? 'cause today's just a scene in the play You might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes But you can't live your life in a day Fifteen years old and on the outside You got your face against the window looking in Old enough to see, but too young to be free In a grown up world loaded with sin And your folks they don't get your frustration 'cause they can't recall feeling that way So you fight, and you hate, but you'll just have to wait 'cause you can't live your life in a day It always seems like life went so fast when it's gone But when you're waiting for something, It drags on and on You can't take no comfort When everyone says You'll look back and laugh at today I said you believe in tomorrow ? 'Cause today's just one scene in the play You might get some bad breaks and you'll male your mistakes But you can't live your life in a day 'Cause tomorrow will always be coming It's the one thing they can't take away And you'll lose and you'll win And you'll do it again But you can't live your life in a day No you can't live your life in a day No you can't live your life in a day This song really reminds me of my teenage years, pretty much sums it up for me anyway.
