It doesn’t matter if I’m right or wrong
It really doesn’t mean a thing
It doesn’t matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
'Cause I’m the thorn in every little girl’s rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need

I’m a real smooth dancer, I’m fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero… King of Dreams

Don’t make a difference what you got
It doesn’t matter what you lose
Don’t make a difference if you like it or not
Baby I’m gonna change your attitude
'Cause all around me there is mystery and wonder
Now can’t you see it in my eyes
I’ll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
You’ll never see through my disguise

I’m a real smooth dancer, I’m fantasy man
Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second hand hero… King of Dreams

King, king, king of dreams

All around, all around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend
Can’t you feel the power? Surrender in my arms
Beyond the witching hour we’re travelling on and on

I’m real smooth dancer, I’m fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hands
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second-hand hero… King of Dreams

Real smooth dancer, a fantasy man
Master of illusion, sleight of hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love… King of Dreams

Cocky Rocky, the rock-and-roll star
He’s got the talent to take him far
Started out playing hotel bars
Cocky Rocky, the rock-and-roll star

Spent his time just looking for kicks
Whipping out them mean and nasty guitar licks
He knows all the tricks to pull the chicks
Just half a chance and away he rips

Come on, Rocky, take me to the night
The neon streets are shining bright
To all them queens you bring the light
That cocky Rocky, his belt is so tight

Hits the stage, the show begins
Dressed in black to make him thin
The speed they flash, the way he grins
Sail away, Rocky, the note he bends

Come on, Rocky, and throw the dice
You threw it once, now throw it twice
Heavy boys, they want a slice
They paid their money, they want the choice

Cocky Rocky, he’s a rock-and-roll star
He’s got the talent to take him far
And all he needs is that old guitar
Cocky Rocky, the rock-and-roll star

Do you wanna get rocked?
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked

I’m your average ordinary everyday kid
Happy to do nothing, in fact that’s what I did
I got a million ways to make my day but daddy don’t agree
'Cause when I try to get away,
he says, he got plans for me
“Get your butt right out of bed”
Stop bugging me
“Get up and move your sleepy head”
Don’t shake my tree
He said, “Mow the lawn.” Who? Me?
“Walk the dog”. Not my style, man
“Take out the trash.” No way
“Tidy your room.” Come on, get real
Sorry Dad, gotta disappear
Let’s get the rock out of here

Seven-day weekend, up all night
In at the deep end, hang on tight
It won’t take a minute, it won’t take long
So get on in it, come on, come on, come on

Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked
Let’s go all the way, get it night and day
Come on, let’s get,
let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked

I’m your average ordinary everyday dude
Driving with my baby to get her in the mood
She’s dialing through my radio
And I’m ready to make my move
What she got ain’t rock
‘n’ roll and it really blew my groove
It was Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven
It makes me wanna scream
Bach, Tchaikovsky, violins
Turn it off, that ain’t my scene
Well, I’m sorry, girl, here’s my confession
I suppose a rock’s out of the question

Seven-day weekend, up all night
In at the deep end, hang on tight
It won’t take a minute, it won’t take long
So get on in it, come on, come on, come on

Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked
Let’s go all the way, get it night and day
Come on, let’s get, let’s get,
Let’s get, let’s get rocked

Hey, all I wanna do is take a ride into the blue
Every time I wanna love you,
I get stuck inside my room
Heaven knows I’m sick and tired
of dancing with this broom
I feel lucky today
Hey, look at that, man
Do you wanna get rocked?
Do you wanna get rocked?
Ho, it won’t take you a minute
It won’t take that long
So get on, get with it
Oh, come on everybody

Let’s get, let’s get,
let’s get, let’s get rocked
Get on top baby
Let’s get, let’s get,
let’s get, let’s get rocked
Do you wanna, do you wanna?
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked
Get on top of it
Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked
Love to rock your body baby
Let’s get, let’s get,
let’s get, let’s get rocked
Let’s go all the way, get it night and day
Let’s get out and play, rock the night away
Come on, let’s get,
let’s get, let’s get, let’s get rocked
Let’s Get Rocked

Hole In The Sky - Black Sabbath

I’m looking through a hole in the sky
I’m seeing nowhere through the eyes of a lie
I’m getting closer to the end of the line
I’m living easy where the sun doesn’t shine

I’m living in a room without any view
I’m living free because the rent’s never due
The synonyms of all the things that I’ve said
Are just the riddles that are built in my head

Hole in the sky, gateway to heaven
Window in time, through it, I fly

I’ve seen the stars disappear in the sun
The shooting’s easy if you’ve got the right gun
And even though I’m sitting waiting for Mars
I don’t believe there’s any future in cars

Hole in the sky, gateway to heaven
Window in time, through it, I fly, yeah

I’ve watched the dogs of war enjoying their feast
I’ve seen the western world go down in the east
The food of love became the greed of our time
But now I’m living on the profits of crime

[HermanHuge]

Can’t say these are my favorite lyrics, but I’ve really liked them for a long time now.

It’s from a Genesis song. They are:

"Shadows but no substance, in the shape of men
'Round and down and sideways they go

My take is different than what is meant in the song (Home By The Sea is the song title).

I think of human beings who aren’t good, who aren’t nice, who are only out for themselves etc. when I hear those lyrics.

[WillC]

That’s the beauty of a good lyric, you can make your own interpretation. My interpretation of your lyric is people like certain politicians, or influencer types, scratch the surface and there’s nothing there.

One of my favourite line’s is from Rush’s song Anagram. The lines use the letters from words in each line to make a coherent lyric, not strictly anagrams…”He and she are in the house, but there’s only me at home”
He and she are in house, but only me can be spelt from home, but it also suggests a couple living together where only the male is happy.

Another is Queensryche’s Neue Regel “Poet’s line in a ryhme of silence, gathered from the winter air”

[Latestr8]

One of my favorite songs.

Sweet apple pie

She makin’ eyes
At everything she meet
It ain’t a crime
When she make you pump heat
She make you fly
Because that’s her thing
She make you dry
Then you know you’re broken in

Are you ready for a good time?

Stranded in this town
My machine slows down
To take me where the night begins
Playing everywhere
Loving here and there
I always take the chance to win

Drove a millions miles
Gambling rules my life
I only stop to start again
I reach out through the air
Good luck is everywhere
Can almost touch it with my hands

Just a little luck tonight
Will do and dreams come true
Just a little luck tonight
I can’t stop the wheel that turns the ball of steel

When passion rules the game, yeah yeah
Ooh, I ain’t got no control,
when my heart’s in flames
Passion rules the game, yeah yeah
Ooh, I ain’t got no control, when my heart’s in flames

I’m a stranger in this town
Life takes me up and down
I’ll break the score until I’m free
Can’t stop to roll the dice
And in the morning light
A girl like you is all I need

Don’t you need some love tonight?
I do, yes I do
Don’t you need some love tonight?
How can we stand the heat
when love is all we need?

When passion rules the game, yeah yeah
Ooh, I ain’t got no control,
when my heart’s in flames
Passion rules the game, yeah yeah
Ooh, I ain’t got no control,
when my heart’s in flames

Don’t you need some love tonight?
I do, yes I do
Don’t you need some love tonight?
How can we stand the heat
when love is all we need?

When passion rules the game, yeah yeah
Ooh, I ain’t got no control,
when my heart’s in flames
Passion rules the game, yeah yeah
Ooh, I ain’t got no control,
when my heart’s in flames

When passion rules the game, yeah yeah
Ooh, I ain’t got no control,
when my heart’s in flames

Out with the boys
Testing my virility
The booze and the music
Arrousing my curiousity

I moved in beside her
Asked her to rock and roll with me
Cause I have her classed
My eyes roam lecherously
Lecherously, lecherously, lecherously

She’s a big teaser
She’s a big teaser

I only see her
Very occasionally
She’s leading me on
She’s living dangerously
It’s easy to see
She’s making a fool out of me
Oh but I ain’t no fool
I’ll get her eventually
Eventually, eventually, eventually

She’s a big teaser
She’s a big teaser

Slip To The Void - Alter Bridge

To the dark
To the fall
Crawl to the life you shouldn’t know
You should never come this way
To test the hands of fate
You don’t belong here

Peel back the skin
Close your eyes
Hell is born
To the abyss, but be warned
You fear what you’ve become
My God what have you done?
You don’t belong here

But it’s all in the way
You touch and you will pay
Denial

But it’s all in the way
You touch and you will pay
Denial

Sever the ties
Trip the wire
Take your hold
Doubt is alive and you know
You were once led to believe
You were young and so naive
And now no longer
But it’s all in the way
You turn your back today

Left to face this alone
Left to die with nothing you can own
Left to break in the cold
In the void that you made
The moment you let love go

Try win back your days
You let them all escape your heart
Now that you’ve come so far
Why did you have to fall so hard?
Look at what you’ve done
What have you become?

Left to face this alone
Left to die with nothing you can own
Left to break in the cold
In the void that you made
The moment you let love go
You let love go
You let love go
You let love go

Junior’s Eyes - Black Sabbath

Junior’s eyes looked up to the skies in tears
He prayed that his maker, the giver and taker, would 'pear
Junior sighed, as his hands reached out to the sky
Junior cried, the day that his best friend died
Yeah

They’re coming home again tomorrow
I’m sorry it won’t be for long
With all the pain I’ve watched you live within
I’ll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye

Junior’s eyes, they couldn’t disguise the pain
His father was leaving, and Junior’s grieving again
Innocent eyes watched the man who had gave everything
Junior’s sorrow, who knew what tomorrow would bring?
Yeah

They’re coming home again tomorrow
I’m sorry it won’t be for long
With all the pain I’ve watched you live within
I’ll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye

Junior’s eyes looked into the skies once more
Now he knew well, this life was hell for sure
He desperately tried, his fingertips stretched to the stars, yeah
Reaching for reason, along with the time and the stars
Yeah

They’re coming home again tomorrow
I’m sorry it won’t be for long
With all the pain I’ve watched you live within
I’ll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye

I Surrender

I surrender to your heart babe
Do anything that you want me to do
Please be tender I’m in your hands girl
This is a feeling I never knew
You know I tried to make it on my own
That’s not the way it was meant to be
Spend my time waiting by the phone
Oh darling come back to me

I surrender, I surrender
I’m giving up the role of pretender
Oh be tender, girl be tender
Can’t you feel the love that I send you
I surrender.

I remember, seems like a lifetime
Can’t believe it’s a matter of days
Since you left me I’m near to heartbreak
I want you so bad don’t turn away
What does it take to stay by my side
You know I’ll do what you want me to
Don’t take away this feeling inside
I’m still in love with you

I surrender, I surrender
I’m giving up the role of pretender
I remember, I remember
Can’t you feel the love that I send you
I surrender.

I surrender, I surrender
Darling now won’t you be tender
Surrender, oh surrender
Feel the love that I send you
I surrender…

I get the same old dreams,
same time every night
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed put on my shoes
and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the break-up

These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you’ve put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I’m out of my head, can’t take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell so break it
Oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Since you been gone

So in the night, I stand,
beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon
The night time comes around too soon
You can’t know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don’t give a damn

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I’m out of my head, can’t take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell so break it
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh,
whoa-oh-oh-oh
Since you been gone

If you will come back, baby you know
You’ll never do wrong

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I’m out of my head, can’t take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell so break it
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone, since you been gone
I’m out of my head can’t take it
Since you been gone, since you been gone
I’m out of my head can’t take it

Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin’
Yes, I’m workin’ all the time

It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me
They call me the workin’ man

They call me the workin’ man
I guess that’s what I am

So I get home at five o’clock
And I take myself out an ice-cold beer
Always seem to be wond’rin’
Why there’s nothin’ goin’ down here

It seems to me I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that’s why they call me

It is the night
My body’s weak
I’m on the run
No time for sleep
I’ve got to ride
Ride like the wind
To be free again

I was born the son
Of a lawless man
Always spoke my mind
With a gun in my hand
Lived nine lives
Gunned down ten
Gonna ride like the wind

And I’ve got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I’ll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

Accused and tried and
Told to hang
I was nowhere in sight
When the church bells rang
Never was the kind
To do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind
Before I get old

And I’ve got such a long way to go
To make it to the border of Mexico
So I’ll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind
So I’ll ride like the wind
Ride like the wind

World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin’ down
Better change your tune
You reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings

We’ll get higher and
higher straight up we’ll climb
We’ll get higher and higher leave it all behind

Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin’ off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
But you spread your wings

We’ll get higher and higher straight up we’ll climb
We’ll get higher and higher leave it all behind

So baby dry your eyes,
save all the tears you’ve cried
Ohh that’s what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a
world that must be strong
Ohh that’s what dreams are made of

We’ll get higher and higher
straight up we’ll climb
Higher and higher leave it all behind
Oh, we’ll get higher and
higher who knows what we’ll find

So baby dry your eyes,
save all the tears you’ve cried
Ohh, that’s what dreams are made of
Ohh, baby we belong in a
world that must be strong
Ohh, that’s what dreams are made of

And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause thats what love is made of
