the 'Boys of Summer' Conversation in Song

[GoParra]

with arms wide open

 

[Bazal]

Every thought that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in,
Where do we begin to get clean again
Can we get clean again

I walk home alone WITH you
And the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
Can we get clean again
I want to know
Can we get clean again

The god of wine comes crashing through
The headlights of a car that
That took you farther than you thought
You'd ever wanna go
We can't get back again
We can't get back again

She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates,
And soon the cells give way,
And cancels out the day

I can't keep it all together
I know...
I can't keep it all together
And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can't erase
All alone on your face

Every glamorous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
A star sign out of whack
A fraudulent zodiac

And the god of wine is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it
Now I'm going down ,and you're not even around
And I said no...

I can't keep it all together
I know...
I can't keep it all together

And there's a memory of a window
Looking through, I see you
Searching for something that I could never give you
And there's someone who understands you, more than I do
A sadness I can't erase
All alone on your face.

Third Eye Blind-"God of Wine"

 

[MarkInTheStands]

As the World falls down - David Bowie

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon within your heart

CHORUS
As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you-oo-oo
As the world falls down

Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling in love

I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Though we're strangers till now
We're choosing the path between the stars
I'll leave my love between the stars

CHORUS

Falling
(As the world) Falling down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
(down) Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down

Falling
Falling
Falling

Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense to fall
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling
Falling in love
As the world falls down
(down) Falling
Falling
Falling in love
Falling in love (love)
Falling in love
Falling in love
Falling in love

 

[The Colonel]

Now that I've lost everything to you,
you say you want to start something new,
and it's breaking my heart you're leaving,
baby I'm grieving.

But if you wanna leave take good care,
hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,
but then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.

Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world.

I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do,
and it's breaking my heart in two,
cause I never want to see you sad girl,
don't be a bad girl,
but if you want to leave take good care,
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
but just remember there's a lot of bad and beware,
beware,

Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl.

Baby I love you, but if you wanna leave take good care,
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
but just remember there's a lot of bad,
and beware, beware,

oh baby baby it's a wild world,
it's hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl

don't let me down

[BigBadEel]

Here is my 2 cents worth, a song called Bananas by Deep Purple from their 2003 album

I,ve got nothing to say today
I used my words up yesterday

I'm just lying here in the sun
Watching you guys having fun

Seven days Seven nights
Working till you get it right

Dont help me I'll help myself
I'll pull some crackers off the shelf

She had her hair done yesterday
Now she's coming out to play

First you pull then you push
Two in the hand one in the bush

Oh my love is
so excited
When I say we've been invited
Now we're going to the palace
Dressing up for tea with Alice

Etc Etc

[Haynzy]

I've got nothing but time on my,
nothing but time on my hands
Do you wanna hang around with me?

 

[JessEel]

She grabs her magazines
She packs her things and she goes
She leaves the pictures hanging on the wall
She burns all her notes
And she knows
She's been here too few years
To feel this old

He smokes his cigarette
He stays outside till it's gone
If anybody ever had a heart
He wouldn't be alone
He knows
She's been here too few years
To be gone

And we always say
It would be good to go away
Someday
Yeah but if there's nothing there to make things change
If it's the same for you I'll just hang


-Hang - Matchbox 20

 

[Bazal]

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
Yeah it feels like
Heaven's so far away.

And it feels
Yeah it feels like
the world has grown cold
Now that you've GONE away

Leaving flowers on your grave
To Show that I still care
black roses and hail marys
Can't bring back what's taken from me

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
and if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away


The Offspring-"Gone Away"

 

[Haynzy]

you don't make me feel like I'm a woman anymore

 

[Bazal]

I never counted on this
guess that's the way that it goes
you used to be, someone I knew
somebody I could understand

now I don't know what to do
and I don't know who you are
all those things, I hear you say
you talk that way, I'm a stranger to you

I don't know where to begin, don't want to hear it again
I don't believe anymore
and this is all I know, I know I've heard it before
I don't believe ANYMORE

I don't believe anymore

And I remember your voice
before this happened to us
when I could see, when I was sure,
when everything was young and new but..
we lost it too many times
and that's way that it is ends
yeah lovers come and lovers go
when you think you know, it just isn't true

I don't know where to begin, don't want to hear it again
I don't believe anymore
and this is all I know, I know I've heard it before
I don't believe anymore

The Whitlams-"Don't Believe Anymore"

 

[Haynzy]

I'd like to believe that you love me
I'd like to believe that you care
I'd like to believe your the one I can trust
Your the one who will always be there
I'd like to believe in the future
I wish it was safe and strong
I wish I could fly on a wing and a prayer
But I've lied to myself for too long

Tell me where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
Theres a place I know
You can let your defences down
Oh come on

I'd like to same damn the torpedos
I'd like to same damn the expense
I'd like to say no, to the cold hard cash
But starving just would not make sense
I wish I could scream like a baby
I wish I could cry out and be saved
I wish I was grateful and my conscience was clear
So then I could dance on you grave.

So tell me where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
theres a place I know
You can let your defences down
Oh yeah let 'em down

Where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
theres a place I know
You can let your defenses down

Where do you go?
Tell me when I'm not around
theres a place I know
You can let your defenses down


H&C Where do you go

 

[rowdy]

No time to search the world around
cos you know where ill be found
when i come around

 

[Bazal]

For every story gone untold
There's a secret that dissolves
So many pieces still unsolved
You're not quite who you think you are
Can see the symptoms from afar
I'm hosing down your shooting star

There you go again to fall
Waiting on a friend to call

If you wait I'm gonna drive it home
(Carry all of this away from here)
If you wait I'm gonna drive it home
(Kiss you every time the rains appear)

Sometimes we wish for far away
But something always makes me stay
Far too strong a bond to try and break
You know exactly where you've been
The shooting star is hardly seen
Outshined by every other beam

There you go again to fall
Waiting on a friend to call

If you wait I'm gonna drive it home
(Carry all of this away from here)
If you wait I'm gonna drive it home
(Kiss you every time the rains appear)

I'm feeling richer I'm feeling taller
I feel like every time I try to fit the picture
I've got to keep up with all the others
Looking for whatever we were never to discover

Now you're ringing out slowly
Like cathedral bells
And you'd sleep through heaven
Just to get to hell
Now you drop away slowly
Like the autumn leaves
But you lose your colour
WHEN you hit the street
When you hit the street
When you hit the street

Powderfinger-Thrilloilogy

 

[Haynzy]

The raising of children, the rearing of young
Used to be simple but look what it's become
The choice of career, the proper vocation
Out of your hands, all for the needs of the nation

No inhibitions with the modern child
Wasted lessons or pleasure or pain
Easy to follow your natural instinct
Easy to follow, much too hard to learn

Useless expressions and sporting aggression
Don't waste my time, I can't wait for the end of the session
What opportunity, the modern child?
Waste passion and wasted mind

Some kids got no time for playtime
Some kids got no time for games
Some kids got no time for playtime
Some kids got no time for games

Oils- No time for games

 

[Bazal]

oh, so high

Woke up this morning from the strangest dream
I was in the biggest army the world has ever seen
We were marching as one
On the road to the holy grail

Started out seeking fortune and glory
It's a short song but it's a hell of a story
When you spend your lifetime trying to get your hands
On the holy grail

But have you heard about the great crusade
We ran into millions, and nobody got paid
Yeah we raised four corners of the globe
For the holy grail

All the locals scattered, they were hiding in the snow
We were so far home, so how were we to know
There'd be nothing left to plunder
When we stumbled on the holy grail

We were full of beans
But we were dying like flies
And those big black birds, they were circling in the sky
And you know what they say, yeah, nobody deserves to die

You know I, I've been searching for an EASY way
To escape the cold light of day
I've been high and I've been low
But I've got nowhere else to go

There's nowhere else to go

I have followed orders
God knows where I've been
But I woke up alone
All my wounds were clean
I'm still here
I'm still a fool for the holy grail

Oh yeah I'm a fool for the holy grail

Hunters and Collectors-"Holy Grail"

 

[Haynzy]

Conquistador of Mexico, the Zulu and the Navaho
The Belgians in the Congo short memory
Plantation in Virginia, the Raj in British India
The deadline in South Africa short memory
The story of El Salvador, the silence of Hiroshima
Destruction of Cambodia short memory

Short memory, must have a, short memory

The sight of hotels by the Nile, the designated Hilton style
With running water specially bought short memory
A smallish man Afghanistan, a watch dog in a nervous land
They're only there to lend a hand short memory
Wake up in sweat at dead of night
And in the tents new rifles hey short memory

If you read the history books you'll see the same things happen again and again
Repeat repeat short memory they've all got it
When are we going to play it again
Got a short, got a short, got a short, got a short
They've got a short must have a short they've got a short aah
Short memory, they've got a.


Oils- Short Memory

 

[Bazal]

On the last wave of summer
I lost my soul to you
On the last wave of summer
I lost it all to you

Every thing has a time
This I know is true
I could live forever
This perfect day with you

There's a cold winter comin'
I can feel the change
It's the last wave of summer
We'll ever see AGAIN

Lets ride...

There's a cold winter coming
Can you feel the change
It's the last wave of summer
We'll ever see again

Chisel-"Last Wave Of Summer"

 

[GoParra]

Nobody on the road
nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air: The summer's out of reach.
Empty lake
empty streets
the sun goes down alone.
I'm driving by your house though I know you're not home.
But I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun

You got your hair comb'd back and sunglasses on
baby.
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream.
Remember how you made me crazy
remember how I made you scream
And I don't understand what happened to our love

But baby
I'm gonna get you back

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun

I see you walking real slow and you're smiling at ev'ryone.
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
Out on the road today I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac.
A little voice inside my head said:
Don't look back
you can never look back.
I thought I knew what love was
what did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but:
I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun

You got that top pulled down and that radio on
baby.
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun

You got your hair slick'd back and your wavarers on
baby.
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.

I’m on the whiskey flying, and I’ll run by night
I’m on the whiskey running, and I’ll run by night
I’m on the winter cycle, shut my eyes to the bite
I’m on the winter cycle, shake my fist at the bite
I’m on the whiskey flying, and I’ll run by night
I’m on the phone to summer, so I’ll see you on the flight
My friends are at a party, playing games with the light
I hate to say I’m wrong, I just know I’m right

We all run by night

I’m on the whiskey flying, and I’ll run by night
I’m on the glaze a burning, and it burns in the light
I’m on a turning circle, turn my face from the bite
I’m on a turning circle, hear me screaming at the bite

I’m on the edge of danger, and I’ll run by night
I’m on the phone to summer, so i;ll see you on the flight
My friends are at a party, playing games with the light
I hate to say I’m wrong, I just know I’m right

We all run by night

Oils- Run by night
