Here goes another one, Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band... I love the way the guitar goes in this one, and the vocals :) Listen to it here. (The link helps if you have high speed internet)
You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you
Oh, and you come crash into me
And I come into you
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy... for you.
Oh, and you come crash into me
Baby, and I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
And if I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me
In my haste
When I'm holding you so girl,
Close to me
Oh and you come crash into me, yeah
Baby, and I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing, but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
The way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me, baby
Come crash into me, yeah
Crash into me...
Crash into me...
Crash into me...
You know, I'm the king of the castle,
You're the dirty rascal, crash into me.
Please crash into me, baby...
Oh, no no no...
Yes, I see the waves
Come and crash into me.
See the waves come and crash into me.
Crash into me.

Piano Man
If you haven't heard Piano Man, please hear it. Tried searching the radio blog club site for a link to this song that works, but I couldn't find one. Anyway, this song goes on about problems that a lot of people have grown to live with, and Billy Joel puts this across quite subtly, yet meaningfully.
It's nine o' clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But its sad and its sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans clothes
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Chorus:
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, were all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now john at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And hes quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, bill, I believe this is killing me.
As the smile ran away from his face
Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And hes talkin' with Davy who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But its better than drinkin' alone
Chorus
Its a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
cause he knows that its me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, man, what are you doin' here?
Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
It's nine o' clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin

But its sad and its sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger mans clothes
La la la, de de da

The begining!
Got this idea from Saager's blog, thought it'd be nice to post up lyrics / chords / meanings of some of my favourite songs!
Free!!
Artist: Phish
Title: Free
There's something about Free. There's something about this song that is remarkably uplifting, at least for me :) I never get tired of listening to this song. Maybe it's how the chorus goes, it tends to make me sit up if i'm slumped in a chair, for instance!
However, the chorus is just one word.. "Free!"
I'm floating in the blimp a lot
I feel the feeling I forgot
Swimming weightless in the womb
Bouncing gently round the room
In a minute I'll be free
And well be splashing in the sea
I feel no curiosity
I see the path ahead of me
In a minute I'll be free
And well be splashing in the sea
We hear a tiny cry
As the ship goes sliding by
Free!
Free!
Free!
Im floating in the blimp a lot
I feel the feeling I forgot
Im floating in the blimp a lot
I feel free!
Free!
Free!
Free!
Free!
