Patsy Cline - She's Got You - YouTube

 

 

"She's Got You"

 

I've got your picture that you gave to me

And it's signed with love, just like it used to be

The only thing different, the only thing new

I've got your picture, she's got you

 

I've got the records that we used to share

And they still sound the same as when you were here

The only thing different, the only thing new

I've got the records, she's got you

 

I've got your memory, or has it got me

I really don't know, but I know it won't let me be

 

I've got your class ring that proved you cared

And it still looks the same as when you gave it, dear

The only thing different, the only thing new

I've got these little things, she's got you

 

I've got your memory, or has it got me

I really don't know, but I know it won't let me be

 

I've got your class ring that proved you cared

And it still looks the same as when you gave it, dear

The only thing different, the only thing new

I've got these little things, she's got you

 

Love Patsy Cline. :love: I wish I could have met her.

Joni Mitchell- BOTH SIDES

 

Bows and flows of angel hair

And ice-cream castles in the air

And feather canyons everywhere

I've looked at clouds*that way

 

But now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on everyone

So many things I would have done

But clouds got in the way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

It's clouds illusions I recall

I really don't know clouds at all

 

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels

The dizzy dancing way you feel

As every fairy tale comes real

I've looked at love that way

 

But now it's just another show

You leave them laughing when you go

And if you care, don't let them know

Don't give yourself away

 

I've looked at love from both sides now

From give and take, and still somehow

It's love's illusions I recall

I really don't know love at all

 

Tears and fears and feeling proud

To say "I love you" right out loud

Dreams and schemes and circus crowds

I've looked at life that way

 

But now old friends are acting strange

The shake their heads, they say I've changed

Well something's lost, but something's gained

In living everyday

 

I've looked at life from both sides now

From win and lose and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all

From up and down, and still somehow

It's life's illusions I recall

I really don't know life at all

Leavin' On Your Mind

 

If you've got leavin' on your mind

Tell me now, get it over

Hurt me now, get it over

If you've got leavin' on your mind

 

If there's a new love in your heart

Tell me now, get it over

Hurt me now, get it over

If there's a new love in your heart

 

Don't leave me here in a world

Filled with dreams that might have been

Hurt me now, get it over

I may learn to love again

 

If there's a new love in your heart

Tell me now, get it over

Hurt me now, get it over

If there's a new love in your heart

Hurt me now, get it over

If there's a new love in your heart

 

(I could go on all day with Patsy Cline, she has a ton of infidelity songs in her catalog)

Patsy Cline - Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray.flv - YouTube

 

Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray

 

Two cigarettes in an ashtray

My love and I, in a small cafe. Then a stranger came along

And everything went wrong

Now there's three cigarettes in the ashtray

 

I watched her take him from me

And his love is no longer my own

Now they are gone

And I sit alone

And watch one cigarette burn away

 

(Repeat last verse)

Posted

 

 

This time is gonna be the last time

Last night you crossed that line

Walked in, you're talking to him

I'm not blind, gonna see what you're doing

Now that I caught you lying

This thing is gonna get two-sided

Run around with another man

Now it's going down, it's gonna hit the fan

 

Let's see how you like it...

 

Chorus

 

I'm gonna drink all night till I'm feeling right

Take your brand new Porsche for a crash-test drive

Find me a girl with a couple of friends

Get down and dirty with all of them

Go back home, burn all your clothes

Watch it all go up in smoke

Baby, I'm not just leaving

I'm going out and gettin' even

 

By now you're probably thinkin'

Oh, this is just a bluff

At the bar there's a little blonde winking

There's no way in hell I'm gonna pass it up

 

Let's see how you like it....

 

Chorus

 

I'm gonna drink all night till I'm feelin right

Take your brand new Porsche for a crash-test drive

Find me a girl with a couple of friends

Get down and dirty with all of them

Go back home, burn all your clothes

Watch it all go up in smoke

Baby, I'm not just leavin

I'm going out and gettin' even

(Going out and gettin' even)

 

I'm leavin'

I think I'll call your sister

I think I'll call your friends

Baby, this ain't over

It's where it all began

 

Chorus

 

I'm gonna drink all night 'till I'm feelin right

Take your brand new Porsche for a crash-test drive

Find me a girl with a couple of friends

Get down and dirty with all of them

Go back home, burn all your clothes

Watch it all go up in smoke

Baby, I'm not just leaving

No, no, no, oh Girl, you best start believin

I'm going out and gettin' even

Gettin' even

You better start believin

I'm going out and getting' even

Robert Cray's Right Next Door for those that like the blues

 

 

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader

That she was just another notch on my guitar

She's gonna lose the man that really loves her

In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

 

At daybreak I hear him back and say goodbye

I can hear him slam the door and walk away

Right next door I hear that woman start to cry

I should go to her but what would I say

 

It's because of me

It's because of me

If you want something different apart from the run of the mill "you broke my heart" and "how can you do this to me" stuff.....

 

 

......Check out Miniature Sun by XTC! It's poignant and creative piece of music in which both the lyrics and music project that feeling of despair and anger when you uncover that someone's been cheating on you. Starts out with a cool jazz waltz when the protagonist is on top of the world, but it morphs into all out rage and dissonance when mid way thru the song he sees another man leaving the front door. Talk about revenge!:

 

Miniature Sun

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrKOsgha46E

 

I'm 12 o'clock,

All daylight hours,

I'll warm your bed,

I'll grow your flowers.

Like I'm a miniature sun.

This ball ignited when she told me I was her only one.

 

I'm not the same now.

I'm not that plain little boy.

I'm all aflame now.

I'm king up here like a miniature sun.

 

No life comes close,

I'm rising higher,

On holiday,

On ball of fire,

You made a miniature sun.

There's no more shadows in this world she says I'm her only one.

 

I'm not the same now.

I'm not that plain little boy.

I'm all aflame now.

I radiate like a miniature sun.

 

Now everything looks right today,

A billion watts of bright today.

And I'm a blazing kite today.

I think I'll float around her house,

And tell her exactly how she makes me glow.

But then the other man leaving merely doffs his hat,

And I'm the last to know.

 

Now everything looks wrong today.

An out of tune sung song today.

I've grown from big King Kong today,

Right down to miniature...

 

Don't come too close,

I'll burn your arm,

I'll bleach your hair,

Dustbowl your farm,

I'll blind your eyes,

You blinded mine,

I'll spin with rage,

All summertime,

You made a miniature sun. Just take a look up in the nightsky, I'm not the only one.

 

I'm not the same now.

I'm not that vain little boy that I was.

I'm all to blame now,

Look out below here I come!

 

Man crashing down like a miniature sun

It's Not Right, but it's OK.

 

 

Friday night you and your boys went out to eat

Then they hung out,but you came home around three

If six of ya'll went out then four of you were really cheap

'Cause only two of you had dinner

I found your credit card receipt

 

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you

Leave your key

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

 

I'm packing bags so you can leave town for a week

The phone rings then you look at me (why'd you turn and look at me?)

Said it was one of your friends

Down on 54th street boy

So why did 213 show up on your caller ID

I've been through all this before

So how could you think

That I would stand around and take some more

Things are gonna change

Cause I won't be a fool anymore

That's why you have to leave

So don't turn around to see my face

There's no more tears left here for you to see

 

Was it really worth you going out like that - tell me

See I'm moving on and I refuse to turn back

See all of this time I thought I had somebody down for Whitney

It turns out you were making a fool of me

 

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you

Leave your key

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

 

It's not right but it's okay - [it's not right - so okay baby]

I'm gonna make it anyway [i can pay my own rent]

Pack your bags up and leave [pay my liability - take care of my babies]

Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway [get up and leave]

Close the door behind you

Leave your key

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

 

It's not right but it's okay [i'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]

I'm gonna make it anyway [i'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]

Pack your bags up and leave [i'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]

Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right but it's okay [i'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]

I'm gonna make it anyway [i'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]

Close the door behind you [i'm gonna be okay, I'm gonna be alright]

Leave your key

I'd rather be alone than unhappy [there's no more tears left here for you to see]

 

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you

Leave your key

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

 

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Pack your bags up and leave

Don't you dare come running back to me

It's not right but it's okay

I'm gonna make it anyway

Close the door behind you

Leave your key

I'd rather be alone than unhappy

 

 

 

OK time for me to leave this thread for a while, I'm still sad about Whitney Houston. :(

It's because of me

 

 

Speaking of Robert Cray---he had another good song called "Consequences"

 

Not a day goes by that a man doesn't have to choose

Between what he wants, what he's afraid to lose

 

Along comes temptation, and he can't refuse

I know the difference between wrong & right

Don't make no difference in the middle of the night

 

Take the bait, you pay the price

It's much too late for good advice

You know & I know that our good thing's through

Cuz there's consequences to what we do

 

Consequences for me & you.......

 

 

I was smokin' and drinkin', & thinkin' when you walked by

The next I knew, I was makin' up my alibi

All I've done since then is lie, lie, lie........

 

I took my chances, and had a real good time

But I'd give my soul, for some peace of mind...

You know to tell the truth, I swear was a big mistake

Homes will crumble, and hearts will break

Baby, why gamble when there's so much to lose

 

Cuz there's consequences to what we do

 

Consequences for me & you.. .....

 

 

Upon hearing this again--I think every WS on the planet should be duct-taped to a chair, and forced to listen to this.

....and this guy is interrogating his wife about "everything you did"...he's even thinking of getting a gun to shoot the lover down!

 

 

Everything You Did (Steely Dan)

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUpFzCuDM9M

 

 

Where did the bastard run

Is he still around

Now you gotta tell me everything you did baby

I'm gonna get a gun

Shoot the lover down

Are you gonna tell me everything you did baby

Traces are everywhere

In our happy home

Now you better tell me everything you did baby

I jumped out of my easy chair

It was not my own

Now I want to hear about everything you did baby

 

I never knew you

You were a roller skater

You gonna show me later

Turn up the Eagles the neighbors are listening

 

You know how people talk

I wonder what they say

I think you better tell me everything you did baby

 

I never knew you

You were a roller skater

You gonna show me later

 

You never came to me

When you were so inclined

Yes you could have told me everything you did baby

I know where baby's at

I know your filthy mind

Now you're gonna do me everything you did baby

Yeah that's like the Beatles tune posted earlier :)

 

To me this is the ultimate rage song :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_7rV939MLM

War... War... For power!

You stared at the broken mirror

Your heart's collecting dust

Secure that the sins are forgiven

Forgotten but still left with us

The crime is that you've failed in recognizing

The heart you broke

The life you stole.

Bow down before your master

(I sit inside with this **** inside as I)

Bow down. You're my disaster.

Pain is just the path of life you've chosen

It's nothing more than a simple slap away

Your heart, your fist, your skull

Is breaking all this, taking all this.

Cut off your nose to spite the face

My life of piss you borrow

Do I follow the God who trained the King?

Or create my own God tomorrow?

Why can't you see that you're unfaithful?

Scars and bruises hide the truth in fables.

It's time

My heart is broken down

Shine

My heart is broken

Why can't you see that you're unfaithful?

Scars and bruises hide the truth in fables.

It's You!

No more Tomorrow.

It's You!

No more Tomorrow

**** your Minion.

Pushing me away.

Wow, just wow! I have not heard this song before and it is awesome. While I was listening to it on Youtube, I clicked on a side video and it was

Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray - Sweet Home Chicago - 1990

 

 

Not about infidelity, but Gawd, what playing.

Second to pop to mind after Right Next Door. In this case no apologies

 

Billy Paul

 

Me and Mrs.Jones

We got a thing goin'on

We both know that it's wrong

But it's much too strong

To let it go now

 

We meet every day at the same cafe

Six-thirty and no one knows she'll be there

Holding hands, making all kinds of plans

While the juke box plays our favorite songs

 

Me and Mrs.Jones

We got a thing goin'on

We both know that it's wrong

But it's much too strong

To let it go now

 

We gotta be extra careful

That do we don't build our hopes up too high

Because she's got her own obligations

And so, and so, do I

 

Me and Mrs.Jones

We got a thing goin'on

We both know that it's wrong

But it's much too strong

To let it go now

 

Well, it's time for us to be leaving

It hurts so much, it hurts so much inside

Now she'll go her way snd I'll go mine

Tomorrow we'll meet

The same pklace, the same time

 

Me and Mrs.Jones

We got a thing goin'on

We both know that it's wrong

But it's much too strong

To let it go now

Glad you like it!

 

And we didn't even have to duct tape you to a chair, either!:p:laugh:

(that's for the waywards, anyways......);)

 

Yep, Robert Cray is an exceptional player, and vocalist.

 

The SRV clip was cool--I love seeing that many legends sharing a stage.

If you haven't seen it--I'd like to recommend checking out some of the Crossroads Festival footage--a whole lot of heavyweights in one place-Clapton , King, Vaughn, Guy,....etc

Lying eyes-The Eagles

 

 

 

 

City girls just seem to find out early

How to open doors with just a smile

A rich old man

And she won't have to worry

She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely

I guess ev'ry form of refuge has it's price

And it breaks her heart to think her love is

Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening

To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down

But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'

She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting

With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal

She drives on through the nice anticipating

'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms,

They fall together

She whispers that it's only for awhile

She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever

She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hid your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't now way to hide you lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one

And stares out at the stars up in the sky

Another night, it's gonna be a long one

She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy

She thinks about a boy she knew in school

Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?

She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things

You set it up so well, so carefully

Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things

You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes

I actually gave my XH the Crossroads video for a gift (he likes to listen) and I think I gave my son the video, also. He not only listens, but also is a great on guitar and pretty good on drums and bass (sorry for bragging, but it is his talent, not mine - lol). He plays in a couple of bands here and was in one at college, but that one broke up, I think. I'll check it out again with the above link, though, but it will have to later as I have to grade papers instead of reading here. I'm not having much success LOL :laugh:

This is a must see song/video about infidelity. Not because it contains some unique message, but the singer reminds me of some math teacher in high school, or a sales person at Radio Shack. I can see why his girl cheated on him because he exudes this sense of lame, oatmeal and vanilla:

 

 

"Him" (Rupert Holmes...same guy that sang the Pina Colada song)

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlmmVEmw9pA

 

 

 

Over by the window, there's a pack of cigarettes.

Not my brand you understand,

Sometimes the girl forgets

She forgets to hide them

I know who left those smokes behind

She'll say, oh, he's just a friend,

And I'll say, oh, I'm not blind

to..

 

(chorus)

Him him him, what's she gonna do about him?

She's gonna have to live without him,

It's him or it's me, me me,

No one gets to get it for free

It's me or it's him.

 

Don't know what he looks like,

Don't know who he is.

Don't know why she thought that I

would say what's mine is his.

I dont want to own her,

But I can't let her have it both ways.

Three is one too many of us,

She leaves with me or stays

with..

 

(chorus)

 

Him him him, what's she gonna do about Him?

She's gonna have to live without him,

It's him or it's me, me me,

No one gets to get it for free

It's me or it's him.

 

If she wants him she can have him,

Just exactly how we once were,

Its goodbye to he and I,

and back to me and her,

Without..

 

(chorus)

Him, him, him, what's she gonna do about him?

She's gonna have to live without him,

It's him or it's me, me, me,

No one gets to get it for free,

Time for me to make the girl see,

It's me or it's him.

"Apologize"

 

[Verse 1]

I'm holdin' on your rope,

Got me ten feet off the ground.

And I'm hearin' what you say,

But I just can't make a sound.

You tell me that you need me,

Then you go and cut me down...

But wait...

You tell me that you're sorry,

Didn't think I'd turn around...

And say...

 

[Chorus]

That it's too late to apologize.

It's too late...

I said it's too late to apologize.

It's too late.

Yeah!

 

[Verse 2]

I'd take another chance,

Take a fall, take a shot for you.

I need you like a heart needs a beat,

But it's nothin' new, yeah!

I loved you with a fire red,

Now it's turnin' blue...

And you say...

Sorry, like an angel

Heaven let me think was you...

But I'm afraid...

 

[Chorus]

It's too late to apologize.

It's too late.

I said it's too late to apologize.

It's too late.

Whoa!

 

[interlude]

 

[Chorus]

It's too late to apologize.

It's too late.

I said it's too late to apologize.

It's too late.

 

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah!

I said it's too late to apologize, yeah!

I'm holdin' on your rope,

Got me ten feet off the ground.

Working My Way Back to You

 

Oooooooooh-oh-oooooooooh

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe

With a burning love inside

Hey, I'm working my way back to you, babe

And the happiness that died

I let it get away

Do-do, do-da, do

(Been paying every day)

Do-do, do-da, do

When you were so in love with me

I played around like I was free

Thought I could have my cake and eat it too

But how I cried over losing you

See, I'm down and out

But I ain't about to go living my life without you

Hey, every day

I made you cry

I'll pay and, girl

'Til the day I die

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe

With a burning love inside

Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe

And the happiness that died

I let it get away

Do-do, do-da, do

(Been paying every day)

Do-do, do-da, do

Oh, I used to love to make you cry

It made me feel like a man inside

If I had been a man in reality

You'd be here, baby, loving me

Now my nights are long and lonely

And I ain't too proud, babe

I just miss you so

Girl, but you're too proud

And you won't give in

But when I think about all I could win

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe

With a burning love inside

Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe

And the happiness that died

I let it get away

Do-do, do-da, do

(Been paying every day)

Do-do, do-da, do

(Yooooou, you, babe)

My road is kind of long

(Yooooou, you, babe)

I just gotta get back home

Whoa, I'm really sorry for acting that way

I'm really sorry

Ooh, little girl

I'm really sorry for telling you lies

For so long

Oh, please, forgive me, girl

Come on (give me a chance)

Won't you forgive me, girl

Hey (let's have romance)

Ooh, forgive me, girl (let's try again)

Come on, forgive me, girl

I want you over and over

And over and over again

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe

With a burning love inside

Yeah, I'm working my way back to you, babe

And the happiness that died

I let it get away

Do-do, do-da, do

(Been paying every day)

Do-do, do-da, do

I'll keep working my way back to you, babe

"You Oughta Know"

 

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me

Would she go down on you in a theatre

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

 

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, till you died

But you're still alive

 

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

 

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you **** her?

 

'cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me you'd hold me

Until you died, til you died

But you're still alive

 

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

 

'cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me

And I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

 

Well, I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you went away

It's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

BETRAYED - Frankie Valli 4 Four Season - YouTube

Betrayed- Frankie Valli

 

Betrayed, I was Betrayed, Betrayed, I was Betrayed,

 

When your best friend tells you that he saw your girl out with somebody new,

 

you believe that it's true, your best friend would never be lying to you.

 

How are you to know, how could you know,

 

he loves her too, he loves her too?

 

Betrayed, I was Betrayed, whoa whoa Betrayed.

 

He was always around, and just to impress her, he would put me down.

 

But old good natured me, I laughed off the things that he said about me.

 

How much of a fool, what kind of fool, can one guy be, can one guy be?

 

Buddies till the end, he always said we'd be Buddies till the end,

 

What kind of friend is he, taking my girl,

 

when he knew that she meant the world to me?

 

Betrayed, I was Betrayed, I was Betrayed,

 

For as long as I live, I'll never forget her enough to forgive,

 

what he did to me, too late I see, I was Betrayed

 

Betrayed, I was Betrayed, whoa whoa Betrayed (fades)
