All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

I haven't posted anything about the Beatles.  They aren't exactly my favourite group, but they have some amazing songs.  By far Eleanor Rigby is my favourite Beatles' song.

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been

Lives in a dream

Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door

Who is it for?

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear

No one comes near.

Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there

What does he care?

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name

Nobody came

Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave

No one was saved

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

I almost want to cry after hearing this song.  When most people listen to this song, they only pick up the chorus, which is still sad, but it is in the verses that the true tragedies are.  Nobody came to Eleanor's wedding, nor her funeral.  Nobody comes to Father McKenzie's sermon, and he is incapable of saving anyone.

And who can bear to be forgotten

I recently watched a movie where David Bowie played as a prisoner of war, the movie was Merry Christmas Mr Laurence, it was such a good movie....  One of the lines that was pointed out is when David Bowie says in his prison cell, "I wish I could sing...", for thoses of you who haven't heard a David Bowie song, here's a few for you from his album Let's Dance, he CAN sing.

Ricochet

Like weeds on a rockface waiting for the scythe

Ricochet - Ricochet

The world is on a corner waiting for jobs

Ricochet - Ricochet

Turn the holy pictures

so they face the wall

And who can bear to be forgotten

And who can bear to be forgotten

March of flowers - March of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Men wait for news while thousands are still asleep

Dreaming of tramlines, factories, pieces of machinery

Mine shafts, things like that

March of flowers - March of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil

breaking parole

Ricochet - It's not the end of the world

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil

breaking parole

Ricochet - Ricochet

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Teaching life in a violent new way

Ricochet - Ricochet

Turn the holy pictures so they face the wall

And who can bear to be forgotten

And who can bear to be forgotten

March of flowers, march of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Early, before the sun,

they struggle off to the gates

In their secret fearful places

they see their lives

Unravelling before them

March of flowers, march of dimes

These are the prisons, these are the crimes

Sound of thunder, sound of gold

Sound of the devil

breaking parole

Ricochet

it's not the end of the world

But when they get home,

damp eyed and weary

They smile and crush their children to their heaving chests

Making unfulfillable promises

For who can bear to be forgotten

Criminal World

You never told me of your other faces

You were the widow of a wild cat

And now I know about your special kisses

And I know you know where that's at

I guess I recognize your destination

I think I see beneath your make-up

What you want is sort of separation

This is no ordinary

This is no ordinary

(ah, ah, ah)

What a criminal world

The boys are like baby-faced girls

What a criminal girl

She'll show you where to shoot your gun

What a typical mother's son

The only thing that she enjoys

Is a criminal worl

Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

You've got a very heavy reputation

But no one knows about your low-life

I know a way

to find a situation

And hold a candle

to your high life disguise

You caught me kneeling

at your sister's door

That was no ordinary stick-up

I'm well aware just

what you're looking for

I am no ordinary

I am no ordinary

(ah, ah, ah)

What a criminal world

The boys are like baby-faced girls

What a criminal girl

She'll show you where to shoot your gun

What a typical mother's son

The only thing that she enjoys

Is a criminal world

Where the girls are like baby-faced boys

Modern Love

I know when to go out

I know when to stay in

Get things done

I catch a paper boy

But things don't really change

I'm standing in the wind

But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

There's no sign of life

It's just the power to charm

I'm lying in the rain

But I never wave bye-bye

But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for

Modern love - walks beside me

Modern love - walks on by

Modern love - gets me to the church on time

Church on time - terrifies me

Church on time - makes me party

Church on time - puts my trust in god and man

God and man - no confessions

God and man - no religion

God and man - don't believe in modern love

It's not really work

It's just the power to charm

I'm still standing in the wind

But I never wave bye bye

But I try, I try

Never gonna fall for

Modern love - walks beside me

Modern love - walks on by

Modern love - gets me to the church on time

Church on time - terrifies me

Church on time - makes me party

Church on time - puts my trust in god and man

God and man - no confessions

God and man - no religion

God and man - don't believe in modern love

Modern love - walks beside me

Modern love - walks on by

Modern love - gets me to the church on time

Church on time - terrifies me

Church on time - makes me party

Church on time - puts my trust in god and man

God and man - no confessions

God and man - no religion

God and man - I don't believe in modern love

Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love

Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love, Modern love

Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me

Modern love - Modern love, walks on by

Modern love - Modern love, walks beside me

Modern love - Modern love, walks on by

Never gonna fall for

Never gonna fall for

Let's Dance

Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues

Let's dance to the song

they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway

while color lights up your face

Let's sway

sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you

If you say hide, we'll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

If you should fall

Into my arms

And tremble like a flower

Let's dance for fear

your grace should fall

Let's dance for fear tonight is all

Let's sway you could look into my eyes

Let's sway under the moonlight,

this serious moonlight

If you say run, I'll run with you

If you say hide, we'll hide

Because my love for you

Would break my heart in two

If you should fall

Into my arms

And tremble like a flower

Let's dance put on your red shoes

and dance the blues

Let's dance to the song

they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway you could look into my eyes

Let's sway under the moonlight,

this serious moonlight

I LOVE DAVID BOWIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Take my word I'm a Madman don't you know

It's been a while... I've been busy with school and work.  I'm keeping above 95% in all subjects (besides french laguage arts 20... T_T).  Enough about that, if you are reading this, it's not my life you want to hear about, it's (most likely) about what song i will post after such a long time... Here it is, Madman Across the Water, by Elton John. (please ignore the picture, this was the best recording that i could find)

I can see very well

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back

And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well

It's one of those that I told you long ago

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

Once a fool had a good part in the play

If it's so would I still be here today

It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way

They think it's very funny everything I say

Get a load of him, he's so insane

You better get your coat dear

It looks like rain

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon

The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon

But is it in your conscience that you're after

Another glimpse of the madman across the water

I can see very well

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back

And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well

It's one of those that I told you long ago

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

The ground's a long way down but I need more

Is the nightmare black

Or are the windows painted

Will they come again next week

Can my mind really take it

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon

The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon

But is it in your conscience that you're after

Another glimpse of the madman across the water

I have so many songs i want to post, but i have no time what so ever, so instead of talking about them, i'll post the song and the lyrics and let you explore the possibilities.  Now and then i'll go on a rant, but for now you won't hear much of me.  Enjoy!
