Ticking away the moments                              
That make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours
In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone or something
To show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told ...]]> Wed, 03 Apr 2013 15:30:09 +0100 unknown on Your favorite non Beatles lyrics. http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/your-favorite-non-beatles-lyrics/page-8/#p69698 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/your-favorite-non-beatles-lyrics/page-8/#p69698 "I'm Different" 2 Chainz

2 Chainz but I got me a few on

Seriously, how freaking clever?

And I wish a nigga would, like a kitchen cabinet

Get it, because kitchen cabinets are made of wood.

Bitch sit down, you got a bad atti'
Gave her the wrong number and a bad addy
You ain't going nowhere like a bad navi

"Addy" is for address, and "navi" is for navigation. I like how he used slang for these words so that they almost rhyme.

They keep trying to row away
And the captains' worried faces
Stay contorted and staring at the waves
They’ll keep hanging in their gold frames
For forever, forever and a day
All the rowboats in the oil paintings
They keep trying to row away, row away

Hear them whispering French and German
Dutch, Italian, and Latin
When no one's looking, I touch a sculpture
Marble, cold and soft as satin
But the most special are the most lonely
God, I pity the violins

I've always liked the skiffle feel and Freddie's vocals, but I only recently realised what a sad and beautiful piece of poetry it is:

In the year of thirty-nine
Assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day
Sailed across the milky seas
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried

Though you're many years away
Don't you ...]]> Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:45:44 +0100 Funny Paper on Your favorite non Beatles lyrics. http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/your-favorite-non-beatles-lyrics/page-8/#p60919 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/your-favorite-non-beatles-lyrics/page-8/#p60919 I got a phone call from a school mate

He asked us to play in his club

In Denmark, we don't play for money

In Denmark, we just play for love.

Remember "Suzanne"?

Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the ...]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:53:39 +0000 Ben Ramon on Your favorite non Beatles lyrics. http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/your-favorite-non-beatles-lyrics/page-8/#p60857 All together now http://www.beatlesbible.com/forum/all-together-now/your-favorite-non-beatles-lyrics/page-8/#p60857 Leonard Cohen's "One of Us Cannot Be Wrong." Written down like this it doesn't work nearly as well as it does with the song (I implore you all to go listen to it) but it's still phenomenally poetic. Cohen is certainly one of the greatest lyricists of the 20th century.
