copernicus 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 The title is "Best Verse" but most seem to be complete lyrics, so I'll bold the verse!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? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here. (Third verse would have been better except for the mixed metaphor!) Link to post Share on other sites

copernicus 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 an oldie but an awesome goodie, especially on headphones:The morning is deadAnd the day is tooThere's nothing left here to greet meBut the velevet moonAll my lonelinessI have felt todayIt's a little more than enoughTo make a man throw himself awayAnd i continueTo burn the midnight lampAloneNow the smiling portrait of youIs stll hangin' on my frowning wallIt really doesn't ....really doesn't bother me too much at allIt's just the, uh, ever falling dustThat makes it so hard for me to seeThat forgotten ear-ring laying on the floorFacing coldly toward the doorAnd i continueTo burn the midnight lampAll aloneBurnLonely lonely, yeahLonely lonely lonelyLoneliness is such a, dragSo here i sit to faceThat same old fire placeGettin' ready for the same old explosionGoin' through my mindAnd soon enough time will tellAbout the circus and the wishing wellAnd someone who will buy and sell for meSomeone who will toll my bellAnd i continue to burn the midnight lampAloneDarlin' do you here me callin' youSo lonelyLonely!

copernicus 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Aww man, awesome song. Favorite Hendrix album, too! You posting this made me pull it out and listen to it. =) 9. The Burning Of The Midnight Lamp 10. Rainy Day, Dream Away 11. 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be) 12. Moon, Turn The Tides ... gently, gently away 13. Still Raining, Still Dreaming 14. House Burning Down 15. All Along The Watchtower 7 amazing songs (the rest arent too bad either lol), but I cant think of 3 better in a row than 9-11. I dont know if he ever would have gotten back to that sound, and while Band of Gypsys is in the top 5 concerts of the hundreds Ive been to, I wasnt thrilled with the transition.

hank213 1,823 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 A choice is made of free willJust like the choice to killDecisions to lose controlMy self-destructive rationaleA choice is made, made of free willJust like the choice, the choice to killIn the speed of a momentLife stands still now you're standing in my killing field-------If ever words were spokenPainful and untrueI said I loved but I liedIn my lifeAll I wantedWas the keepingOf someone like youAs it turns outDeeper within meLove was twisted and pointed at youNever ending pain, quickly ending life Link to post Share on other sites
