Random Singles' Lyrics

[defhermit]

Someone posted a list of every single that Apple Records put out in another thread. In perusing the list I came upon a lot of solo Beatles singles that I wasn't aware of. I'm sure most of you all here have heard of them but I thought I would start a thread to post some of the interesting lyrics in some of these songs.

The first one that really made me take notice was one that must have been mentioned here before, but I don't remember it.

1985 - Paul McCartney & Wings (guess it was the B-side to Band on the Run)

Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
But it made me smile
It made me scream

We should take this slow
'Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this low

I stumble and she sees all
Waiting for me to fall
Obsessing over her
But it's nothing personal

We should take this slow
'Cause I can't let go
When it feels so good
To feel this low
We'll take our time
Tell each other's lies
In a world so much brighter
If Paul were still alive

Take this slow
Till I lose control
And I'm falling down

Last night I had a dream
It wasn't about anything
I made you smile
I made you scream

I am very curious where you got those lyrics, those are absolutely not of a Bill song.
They are very intruiging though and a great find.

Here are the real lyrics of 1985:

"Oh No One Left Alive In 1985, Will Ever Do
She May Be Right
She May Be Fine
She May Get Love But She Won't Get Mine
'Cos I Got You
Oh I Oh I
Well I Just Can't Enough Of That Sweet Stuff
My Little Lady Gets Behind

Interlude

Oh My Mama Said The Time Would Come When I Would Find Myself In
Love With You
I Didn't Think
I Never Dreamed
That I Would Be Around To See It All Come True
Woh I Oh I
Well I Just Can't Get Enough Of That Sweet Stuff
My Little Lady Gets Behind. "

There is a lot of interesting stuff in Bill's solo lyrics, a lot of songs about running, hiding and noone ever going to find out.

I'll make a list of all those references one day but it'll be a huge project because there is so much there in his sololyrics.

All Love Jan

damn I knew it was too good to be true.... let me see if I can refind those lyrics...

[defhermit]

okay I figured it out...

I was looking at a list of singles from apple records and I saw one that was "1985" by Paul McCartney and Wings. I googled "Paul McCartney 1985 lyrics".

Apparently there's a young pop-punk band called SR-71 that has songs called both "Paul McCartney" and "1985"... so that was the first web page that came up on the google search... so those lyrics are for the SR-71 song "Paul McCartney"....

why is the name SR-71 so familiar? did someone here mention it before?

I'll try to be more careful in the future...

It's the name of a fighter bomber; the BLACKBIRD, if
I'm not mistaken. "Black bird, fly".

Artist: SR-71 Lyrics
Song: Axl Rose Lyrics

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Angel lives alone in East Baltimore
Eviction notice stapled to her front door
Bleach-blond hair, fishnet pantyhose
God she wishes it was 15 years ago
When buying her a drink meant anything
You wanted that night... was alright
But through cocaine tears and 15 years
You know she sleeps alone tonight

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Ricky lives alone... mother's basement
37 got nothing yet to show for it
Heavy metal man with his long hair
The top is gone but he's still rockin' the ponytail
All he's got now is post grunge apathy
(catastrophe)
He says The Vines and The White Stripes
Just don't get it for me and my friends
Take me back when...

Where did you go Axl Rose?

Till one night at karaoke
Ricky was kickin out Bon Jovi
"Dead Or Alive" I think it was
And right then Angel fell in love
She knew they'd be together
Stuck in the past together

He don't care he's stuck in the '80s
She don't care she's stuck in the '80s
They don't care they're stuck in the '80s
We don't care we're stuck in the '80s

Where did you go Axl Rose?


(Hell, we're stuck in the 60's here.)
But does anyone know who was in this band? *
'Cuz they knew Paul was dead.

"Tomorrow arrives on the heels of SR-71's debut album, Now You See Inside which was certified gold in 2000. Breaking from the boy-meets-girl conventions of modern rock, Now You See Inside found Mitch and his cohorts singing about everything from political correctness and fame to Paul McCartney."
