Joe's favourite Songs: LOVE OF MY LIFE

J'ATTENDRAI (English translation)

THE FALLEN by FRANZ FERDINAND

Some say ya troubled boy
just because you like to destroy
all the things that bring the idiots joy.
Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?
And the Kunts won't talk to you
'cause you kissed St. Rollox adieu,
'cause you robbed a supermarket or two.
Well who gives a damn about the profits of Tesco?
Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the polythene.
Turn the rich into wine as you walk on the mean
Well the… Fallen are the
virtuous among us
Walk among us
Never judge us
Yeah, we're all---

So we stole and drank champagne
On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain
"And I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"
"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"
In my blood I felt bubbles burst
There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
I fall to the floor,
Fainting at the sight of blood!
Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the polythene.
You turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
Be they Magdalen at Virgin
you've already been
You've already been,
Already seen,
That the fallen are the
virtuous among us
Walk among us,
Never judge us,
To be blessed

La, la, la, la, la, la, etc.

So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
I never had a doubt that you ever existed
I only have a problem when people insist on
taking their hate; placing it onto your name.
Some say ya troubled boy
Just because you like to destroy
You are the word, the word is 'destroy'
I break this bottle
Think of you fondly

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the polythene
to the whore in a hostel
or the scum of a scheme.
Turn the rich into wine,
Walk on the mean.
It's not a jag in the arm
It's a nail in the beam.
On the barren Earth
You scatter your seed
Be they Magdelan or Virgin
You've already been
You've already been
You've already seen...(And go)

You've already been,
You've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Oh if you judge us,
We're all damned.

SCREAM - by Tokyo Hotel

Composed by - Jost, David; Roth, Dave; Weitzl, Olaf.

You get up, and somebody tells you where to go to
When you get there, everybody's telling you what to do
Thank you, it's been another bloody Monday
And no one is asking what you wanted anyway
Nein - nein - nein - nein - nananana nein
Nein - nein - nein - nein - nananana nein

Scream! 'Til you feel it
Scream! 'Til you believe it
Scream! And when it hurts you
Scream it out loud! (Scream)

Watch out! Stay awake, they're lurking
Obsess you, they are always working
Promising everything you never asked for
And one day it'll be too late and you'll beg for more
Nein - nein - nein - nein - nananana nein
Nein - nein - nein - nein - nananana nein

Scream! etc.

Back to zero - the time's about to come
Let them know, you're not just anyone
The time's about to come

Scream! etc.

(Shut up!)
No! Cause you feel it
No! Cause you believe it
No! And when it hurts you
Scream it out loud
No! - no! - no! - no! - no! - no! - no!
Scream it out loud - scream!

IT'S MY LIFE - by BON JOVI

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted.
No silent prayer for the faith-departed.
And I ain't gonna be another face in the crowd;
You're gonna hear my voice when I shout out.

It's my life, it's now or never;
I ain't gonna live forever.
I just want to live while I'm alive. (It's my life)
My heart is like the open highway.
Like Frankie said I did it my way.
I just wanna live while I'm alive; it's my life.

And this is for the ones who stood their ground;
And for Tommy and Gina; they never backed down.
Tomorrow's getting harder, make no mistake.
Luck ain't even lucky, got to make your own breaks.
[Chorus:]

Better stand tall when they're calling you out.
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down.
[Chorus:]

HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT sung by Gladys knight

Words and music by Kris Kristofferson

Take the ribbon from my hair,
Shake it loose and let it fall,
Layin' soft against your skin
Like the shadows on the wall.

Come and lay down by my side
Till the early morning light.
All I'm taking is your time
Help me make it through the night.

I don't care what's right or wrong
and I won't try to understand.
Let the devil take tomorrow
For tonight I need a friend.

Yesterday is dead and gone
And tomorrow's out of sight.
It's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.

And it's so sad to be alone
Help me make it through the night.

I don't want to be alone
HELP ME MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT.

Blowing in the wind - by Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
efore they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?

Big Scary Animal

You keep talkin', who you trying to kid?
Tryin' to keep your feelings hid,
and I'm a prisoner of the past.
It's so hard to make a good thing last.

We know history. Over and over, will it repeat.
Hey you, it's only me; no heart on my sleeve.

Here we go, some things are inevitable.
Don't we know, it could be so beautiful.
It's too realSituation flammable.
Love is, love is, love is....A big scary animal

Hey girl, be a man; why’d you let it get out of hand.
Hey boy, be a girl; who wants to live in a man's world?
Come down, feel the ground. We can't keep going 'round
and around.
I know it's only you. Can I refuse? Can I refuse? Can I refuse?

Hey boy, serves you right. Why'd you have to take that bite. Hey girl, play your game. God knows they're all the same.
Hey girl, listen up, no use drink' from that broken cup.
Hey man, feel the fear, someday I'm gonna catch your tears. Here we go, some things are inevitable.
Don't we know, it could be so beautiful.
It's too real; situation flammable.
Love is, love is, love is....A big scary animal.

Lyrics by E. Clapton & W. Jennings

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong,
and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way,
through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please
(instrumental)

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

(Repeat)

LOVE OF MY LIFE

The words used were "Disappointing", "poor", and "not the same". I am of course referring to the Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour.

I was never really a fan of Queen, though I have to admit that Freddy Mercury's voice is outstanding. The lyrics are also good, and some of their songs are quite exeptional.

This one's my favourite. Written and composed by Freddy mercury, it first appeared on the night at the Opera album.

Spanish readers may be interested in this link:

whereas English readers will no doubt prefer the following one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_of_My_Life
Video and lyrics, as usual. Enjoy.

Love of my life, you hurt me. You've broken my heart and now you leave me.
Love of my life can't you see. Bring it back, bring it back. Don't take it away from me,
because you dont know what it means to me. (beautiful)
Love of my life dont leave me. You've stolen my love, you now now desert me.
Love of my life cant you see. Bring it back, bring it back. Don't take it away from me,
because you dont know what it means to me.
You will remember when this is blown over and everything's all by the way.
When I grow older, I will be there at your side to remind you how I still love you, I still love you.
Hurry back. Hurry back. Don't take it away from me,
because you don't know what it means to me.
Love of my life,Love of my life.
OOOHHH.
