Geht ab wie ein Zäpfchen - Temporunde bei den Lied-Zitaten

[ETXE]

Was Leichtes für die alten Säckinnen und Säcke hier:

so, so you think you can tell
heaven from hell,
blue skys from pain.
can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
a smile from a veil?
do you think you can tell?

and did they get you to trade
your heros for ghosts?
hot ashes for trees?
hot air for a cool breeze?
cold comfort for change?
and did you exchange
a walk on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

[ETXE]

Indeed

[Fantast]

...
Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings.
Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes.
Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment.

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines;
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves.

You said no strings could secure you at the station.
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows.
I walked into such a sad time at the station.
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning.

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back;
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves.

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd.
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten.
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes.
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings.

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd;
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

Ping Pong ...

Das ist ja noch älter, fast so alt wie ich ;-)
"White Room" von Cream (Baker, Bruce & Clapton).

[Fantast]

Alt, aber gut.

[ETXE]

A boy is born in hard time mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
(...)

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
(...)

His sisters black but she is shonuff pretty
Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school she's got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
(...)

Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
His patience's long but soon he won't have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they dont use colored people
(...)

[ETXE]

Zwei weitere Strophen (die letzten beiden):

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of new york city
He's almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him there's no solution
(...)

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we dont change the world will soon be over
(...)

Tipp: Tamla (Motown), 1973

[ETXE]

(...) = Living just enough, just enough for the city...yeah he!

[Fantast]

Four Tops, Edwin Starr, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Martha Reeves, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations? Ich (er-)kenne das Lied nicht.

[Sky00pi]

Stevie Wonder ist es da bin ich mir sicher... aber der Titel... keine ahnung.

[ETXE]

Stevie Wonder ist schon mal sehr gut. Der Titel versteckt sich ein bisschen im letzten Zitat

[ETXE]

Stevie Wonder - Living For The City

Dann mal was Anderes:

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head, that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says: I need you here
And it's half past four, and I'm shifting gear

When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called ***** ****
We've got a wave in the air

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
The road's got me hypnotised
and I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
Don't need no letters at all
We've got a thing that's called ***** ****
We've got a line in the sky

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
and the newsman sang his same old song
One more ***** **** is gone

[Fantast]

Radar Love, die Band weiß ich nicht.

[ETXE]

Radar Love ist richtig. Die Band hieß Golden Earring.

[Fantast]

Hast du das nicht neulich schon bestätigt, bin ich dir zu langsam? Neuen Text gibt es im Laufe des Abends.

[ETXE]

Nicht zu langsam, ich dachte nur, daß meine Bestätigung eventuell untergegangen sein könnte ;-)

[Fantast]

Under dark waters the light glows
In the eyes of cats at night it shows
All pain and sorrow left behind
And ******* *** ******** my love shines

A thousand miles we are apart
So tightly wrapped it thorns my heart
My song is heard in owls' cries
And ******* *** ******** my love shines

It lights the green fog on the hill
It burns in shooting stars as wishes are fulfilled
Glowing as bright as fireflies
Yes, ******* *** ******** my love shines

In the flames of candles in your room
In the smallest sliver of a waning winter moon
Electric like a neon sign
Yes, ******* *** ******** my love shines

Burning like pagan fires of long ago
Luminescent my heart shines for you -
So don't let go

And in the darkest hour of night
Moments before sleep comes and dreams come into sight
Just know that you are on my mind
And ******* *** ******** my love shines

[Fantast]

Tiger Army - Through the Darkness

Hier ein neuer Versuch, ähnliches Genre:

Well my baby and me went out late Saturday night
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looks so right
Well, pick you up at ten got to have you home by two,
Mama don't know what I've got in store for you
Well that's alright 'cause we're looking as cool as can be

Well we found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I'll have a whiskey on the rocks and change of a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put a quarter right into that can, but all it played was disco man
C'mon pretty baby, let's get outta here right away.

[ETXE]

We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out
We're gonna rock this town, make 'm scream and shout
Let's rock, rock, rock man rock, rock
We're gonna rock till we pop, We're gonna roll till we drop
We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out

Die großartigen Stray Cats.

[Fantast]

Die dieses Jahr im Rahmen ihrer Farewell Tour, das erste Mal seit Jahren und angeblich das letzte Mal für Ewigkeit, drei Konzerte in Deutschland spielen.

24. August 2008 Deutschland - München, Zenith
01. September 2008 Deutschland - Hamburg, Stadtpark
02. September 2008 Deutschland - Köln, E-Werk

Mir sind die Karten mit über 40 Euro leider zu teuer, da ich es ganz nett finde, aber kein heißblütiger Anhänger bin.
