MEME!

[aerospcgrl]

Fun musical meme ganked from emmymau. I like these!

The rules... no rules... just list 25 sets of lyrics that move you. Finding 25 won't be hard for 'Space, but limiting it to 25... that *is* a chellenge!

I will add my own little twist... if you can guess the songs *without* help from Teh InternetsTM, have at it; or also if you would like to know why something "works" for me, just ask.

Without further ado:

• 1.
  And I believe
  This may call for a proper introduction.
  And well, don't you see?
  I'm the narrator, and this is just the prologue.

  How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
  Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.
  
• 3.
  Guess I wasnt the best one to ask
  Me myself with my face pressed
  Up against loves glass
  To see the shiny toy Ive been hoping for
  The one I never could afford
  The wide world spins and spits turmoil
  And the nations toil for peace
  But the paws of fear upon your chest
  Only love can soothe that beast
  And my words are paper tigers
  No match for the predators of pain inside her
  
• 4.
  We were born before the wind
  Also younger than the sun...
  I want to rock your gypsy soul
  
• 5.
  I was just guessing at numbers and figures
  Pulling your puzzles apart
  Questions of science, science and progress
  Do not speak as loud as my heart
  
• 6.
  I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
  I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
  Hidden in the bottom drawer
  I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine
  Lend me some fresh air
  I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
  I don't want to be your babysitter
  You're a very big boy now
  I don't want to be your mother
  I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
  Show me the back door

  and this thing they call our time
  heard a brilliant woman say
  she said you know it's crazy
  how I want to try to capture mine
  I think I love this woman's way
  I think I love this woman's
  way she shimmers, the way she shines
  the way she radiates
  the way she lives, the way she loves
  the way she never hates

  And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
  They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
  God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
  'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
  
• 9.
  I've always thought
  that I would love to live by the sea
  To travel the world alone
  and live my life more simply
  I have no idea what's happened to that dream
  Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
  
• 10.
  You understand now why you came this way
  'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
  But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day
  So I'm sailing for tomorrow my dreams are a dyin
  
• 11.
  Well darkness has a hunger thats insatiable
  And lightness has a call thats hard to hear
  I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
  I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it
  Im crawling on your shores
  
• 12.
  I wish could tie you up in my shoes
  Make you feel unpretty too
  I was told I was beautiful
  But what does that mean to you
  Look into the mirror who's inside there
  The one with the long hair
  Same old me again today
  
• 13.
  help me I broke apart my insides,
  help me I’ve got no soul to sell
  help me the only thing that works for me,
  help me get away from myself
  
• 14.
  You shut your mouth
  How can you say
  I go about things the wrong way ?
  I am human and i need to be loved
  Just like everybody else does
  
• 15.
  There's so much that I'd like to say,
  but what I'm going to say
  Is what I need to hear
  that there's a warmer day comin'
  in this long, cold winter's year...
  I'd like to fly south but I'm a Yankee bird...
  I've made a little nest in Michigan

  Many precede and many will follow
  A young girl's dream no longer hollow
  It takes the shape of a place out west
  But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed...
  As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
  Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"
  She said, "It didn't seem like that long ago"
  When she stood there and let her own folks know
  She needs...
  Room to make her big mistakes
  She needs new faces
  She knows the high stakes

  Wait a minute man
  You mispronounced my name
  You didn't wait for all the information
  Before you turned me away
  Wait a minute sir
  You kind of hurt my feelings
  
• 18.
  Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
  Take a sad song and make it better
  Remember to let her into your heart
  Then you can start to make it better
  
  Hey, Jude, don't be afraid
  You were made to go out and get her
  The minute you let her under your skin
  Then you begin to make it better.
  
  And any time you feel the pain, hey, Jude, refrain
  Don't carry the world upon your shoulders
  Well don't you know that its a fool who plays it cool
  By making his world a little colder
  
  Hey, Jude! Don't let her down
  You have found her, now go and get her
  Remember, to let her into your heart
  Then you can start to make it better.
  
  So let it out and let it in, hey, Jude, begin
  You're waiting for someone to perform with
  And don't you know that it's just you, hey, Jude,
  You'll do, the movement you need is on your shoulder
  
  Hey, Jude, don't make it bad
  Take a sad song and make it better
  Remember to let her into your heart
  Then you can start to make it better

  You know it's really a shame
  When you've got to let go
  Of all the things you love
  Like a fighter he really bleeds
  When he must hang up his gloves
  
• 20.
  I was in a car crash
  Or was it the war
  But I've never been quite the same
  Little white lies like "I was there"
  
• 21.
  here comes the super copter
  here comes the noise it makes
  the demon was an idea
  the demon is awake
  scratch mark traced across the
  surface of your mind
  
• 22.
  While the politicians shadowbox
  The power ring
  In an endless split decision
  Never solve anything
  From a neighbors distant land
  I heard the strain of the common man...
  If the world is night
  Shine my life like a light
  
• 23.
  Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
  To run for cover when I need it
  
• 24.
  Will you not stop until I'm held
  down beneath you, screaming, drowning,
  you beating on my gasping body
  in gripping waves?
  Is there no penance in my longing,
  crying, in this sacrifice,
  sea cut from veins, sand in my eyes,
  or are they prayers?
  
• 25.
  And when the night is cloudy,
  There is still a light that shines on me,
  Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
  ...
  Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
  Let it be, let it be.
  There will be an answer, let it be.
  Let it be, let it be,
  Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
