What Music Are You Listening To? Part XI

[Adab]

Elton John - Levon
Live performance, 2012

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said, "God is dead
And the war's begun, Alvin Tostig has a son today"

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon

Varyags Of Miklagaard - Amon Amarth

Genre: Melodic Death Metal
Album: Twilight Of The Thunder God

[Adab]

Elton John - I've Seen That Movie Too
From Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973)

I can see by your eyes, you must be lying
When you think I don't have a clue
Baby you're crazy if you think that you can fool me
Because I've seen that movie too

The one where the players are acting surprised
Saying love's just a four letter word
Between forcing smiles, with the knives in their eyes
Well, their actions become so absurd

So keep your auditions for somebody
Who hasn't got so much to lose
'Cause you can tell by the lines I'm reciting
That I've seen that movie too

[Adab]

Billy Joel - An Innocent Man
From An Innocent Man (1983)

I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am

[Adab]

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
From Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973)

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

[NeuPolska]

The Hero - Amon Amarth

Genre: Melodic Death Metal
Album: Twilight Of The Thunder God

But I
Did not
Retreat!

[Adab]

U2 - Summer Rain
Single (2000)

Tequila and orange Jamaica and rum
At the Moreilla honey on my tongue
In a small boat on a generous sea you let me be your enemy
Tiny hand with a grip on the world
Holding our breath now diving for pearls

I lost myself in the summer rain
I lost myself
I lost myself in the summer rain
Oh oh, oh oh

Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself
Just as you find me always I will be
A little bit too free with myself

[Conoga]

LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted A Hit

[Adab]

U2 - The First Time
From Zooropa (1993)

My father is a rich man
He wears a rich man's cloak
He gave me the keys to his kingdom coming
Gave me a cup of gold

He said, "I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see."
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key

[NeuPolska]

Embrace Of The Endless Ocean - Amon Amarth

Genre: Melodic Death Metal
Album: Twilight Of The Thunder God

*Cries a single tear*

[Conoga]

LCD Soundsystem - Pow Pow

[Adab]

Bon Jovi - Thank You for Loving Me
From Crush (2000)

It's hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There's no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light

Lock the doors
We'll leave the world outside
All I've got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes when I couldn't see for
Parting my lips when I couldn't breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

[Adab]

Elton John - Blessed
From Made in England (1995)

Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed

[Conoga]

LCD Soundsystem - Somebody's Calling Me

[Adab]

Coldplay - In My Place
From A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002)

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn't change
I was lost, oh yeah

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah

Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Oh for it

[Adab]

Elton John - Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock 'n' Roll)
From Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973)

I really got buzzed when your sister said
Throw away them records 'cause the blues is dead
Let me take you honey where the scene's on fire
And tonight I learned for certain that the blues expired

Oh, your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Out bucks the broncos in the rodeo-do
She's only sixteen but it's plain to see
She can pull the wool over little old me
Your sister can't twist but she can rock and roll
Your sister can't twist but she got more soul than me

[Conoga]

LCD Soundsystem - Home

Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
From Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track (1977)

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's all right, it's OK
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

[Adab]

Bee Gees - Tragedy
From Spirits Having Flown (1979)

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're
Goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're
Goin' nowhere
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on

[Conoga]

Belle and Sebastian - The State I Am In

[Adab]

Bee Gees - To Love Somebody
From Bee Gees' 1st (1967)

There's a light
A certain kind of light
That never shone on me
I want my life to be lived with you
Lived with you
There's a way everybody say
To do each and every little thing
But what does it bring
If I ain't got you, ain't got?

You don't know what it's like, baby
You don't know what it's like

To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

[Adab]

Electric Light Orchestra - Last Train to London
From Discovery (1979)

It was 9:29
9:29, back street, big city
The sun was going down
There was music all around
It felt so right

It was one of those nights
One of those nights
When you feel the world stop turning
You were standing there
There was music in the air
I should have been away
But I knew I had to stay

Last train to London, just heading out
Last train to London, just leaving town
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really want to be with you
Let the music play on down the line tonight

[Adab]

George Harrison - Beautiful Girl
From Thirty Three & 1/3 (1976)

Never seen such a beautiful girl, got me quickly untied
Calling to me she made me realize
Not the kind that is lost or is found, she has always been there
A lover needed for this soul to survive

And when I saw the way that she smiled at me
I knew it there and then that she was A-1
And when I felt the way she got through to me
Was something, I had known, I was waiting upon

[Hjalmarr]

Candlemass - Solitude

[Adab]

Haddaway - What Is Love
From The Album (1993)

I don't know why you're not fair
I give you my love, but you don't care
So what is right and what is wrong?
Gimme a sign

What is love?
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more

What is love?
Baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more
