DEDICATED TO RYAN :wink:

"Ice King" by Momus

[ from the album "Tender Pervert" (1988) ]

Lyrics

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

This thing will blow sky high

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

I think I just might die

How could you know

I wanted you so

I acted cool so you couldn't see

For here deep inside

I so easily hide

Exactly what you mean to me

But it was so strange

When everything changed

Your answer took me by surprise

And now that we're lovers

You think you've discovered

How to make a cold man cry

You think you're kissing the ice king, dark thing

But I was always warm

I was yours for the asking, dark thing

I was hot for you all along

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

This thing will blow sky high

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

I think I just might die

I know you can't stand

An emotional man

And so I play for time

Keeping it light

In the hope that you might

One day maybe change your mind

Sometimes in bed

It enters my head

To tell you that my love is strong

But I don't say a word

When I notice how hard

You work to turn a cold man on

You think you're kissing the ice king, dark thing

But I was always warm

I was yours for the asking, dark thing

I was hot for you all along

You think you're kissing the ice king, dark thing

How wrong can a woman be?

If you knew the intensity of my feelings

How long would you stay with me?

You think you're kissing the i-i-i

If ever emotional defences open wide

If ever you see me cry

If ever you notice how you make me feel inside

I think I just might, I think I just might

Hounds of Love by The Futureheads cool song!!!

"Hounds Of Love"

When I was a child, running in the night, i was afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark and hiding on the street, and of what was following me

The hounds of love are calling

I've always been a coward, and I don't know what's good for me

Well here I go,it's coming at me through the trees

Help me, someone, help me, please

Take my shoes off, and i will throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps on the water

I found a fox, who was caught by dogs, he let me take him in my hands

His little heart, it beat so fast

And I'm ashamed to be running away

From nothing real, i just can't deal with this

I feel ashamed to be there

Among your hounds of loving

And feel your arms surround me

I've always been a coward, and i dont know what's good for me

Oh, here I go, don't let me go, hold me down

It's coming at me through the trees

Help me, someone, help me, please

Take my shoes off, and i will throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps on the water

And I will be, two steps on the water

Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, i need love love love love love, yeah

Take your shoes off, and throw them in the lake, and I will be, two steps on the water

Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, i need love love love love love, yeah

Do you know what I need, do you know what I need, i need love love love love love, yeah

Don't wanna steal Valkyrie's thunder, as he introduced this song to the forum in Laurie's video tribute. But it's such a beautiful and deep song I thought you would like to read the lyrics:

GOODBYE MY LOVER - James Blunt

Did I disappoint you or let you down?

Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?

'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,

Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

So I took what's mine by eternal right.

Took your soul out into the night.

It may be over but it won't stop there,

I am here for you if you'd only care.

You touched my heart you touched my soul.

You changed my life and all my goals.

And love is blind and that I knew when,

My heart was blinded by you.

I've kissed your lips and held your head.

Shared your dreams and shared your bed.

I know you well, I know your smell.

I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,

You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.

And as you move on, remember me,

Remember us and all we used to be

I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.

I've watched you sleeping for a while.

I'd be the father of your child.

I'd spend a lifetime with you.

I know your fears and you know mine.

We've had our doubts but now we're fine,

And I love you, I swear that's true.

I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

And I still hold your hand in mine.

In mine when I'm asleep.

And I will bear my soul in time,

When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

Goodbye my lover.

Goodbye my friend.

You have been the one.

You have been the one for me.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.

I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow...

The last that ever she saw him,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

He passed on worried and warning,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Lost in a riddle that Saturday night,

Far away on the other side.

He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight

And she couldn't find how to push through.

The trees that whisper in the evening,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Sing a song of sorrow and grieving,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

All she saw was a silhouette of a gun,

Far away on the other side.

He was shot six times by a man on the run

And she couldn't find how to push through.

[ Chorus ]

I stay, I pray

See you in heaven far away.

I stay, I pray

See you in heaven one day.

Four a.m. in the morning,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

I watched your vision forming,

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Stars roll slowly in a silvery night,

Far away on the other side.

Will you come to terms with me this night,

But she couldn't find how to push through.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

Far away on the other side.

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five.

The night was heavy and the air was alive,

But she couldn't find how to push through.

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.

Far away on the other side.

But she couldn't find how to push through.
