h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Through fire and rain
Through wilderness and pain
Through the losses, through the gains
On love's roller coaster train
I call your name

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again

The sun is out
The sky is blue
There's not a cloud
To spoil the view
But it's raining
Raining In My Heart

A foggy day, in London town
It had me low, it had me down
I viewed the morning, with much alarm
The British Museum, had lost its charm

How long I wondered,
Could this thing last
But the age of miracles, hadn't passed
For suddenly, I saw you standing right there
And in foggy London town,
The sun was shining everywhere

Good day sunshine!

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I've got something I can laugh about.
I feel good, in a special way;
I'm in love and it's a sunny day.

Good day sunshine!

The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away
The dawn in all its honesty
Is turning me to clay
And through the bears of iron rain
Way beyond and back again
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high

It's real love
Real love

[from real love by david gray]

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the world

praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed.
he did it all for you.
oh so many ways for me to show you how your dogma has abandoned you.
pray to your christ, to your god.
never taste of the fruit,
never stray, never break,
never choke on a lie,
even though he's the one who did this to you
thought to question why
it's not like you killed someone.
it's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side.


[from judith by a perfect circle]

Don't leave me this way
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without your love, no baby

Don't leave me this way
I can't exist, i will surely miss your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way

But life still goes on...
I can’t get used to living without... living without... living without you by my side.
I don’t want to live alone... hey...
God knows got to make it on my own...
So, baby can’t you see...
I’ve got to break free.

[from Queen's 'I want To Break Free']

Far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing

Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
And for each and every underdog soldier in the night
We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing.

I'm survivor - frontline trenches, I have a story to tell
It's a simple reminder - a survivors tale
I've taken those straaay bullets
I've taken those straaay bullets
I've taken those straaay bullets
It's only now the pain doesn't hurt meeee... anymore.
If you look back in history, all those soldiers were as brave as me
As I kill in the corner to heeeeal my wounds

[from 'Soldiers' by Krust.]

He's five foot-two, and he's six feet-four,
He fights with missiles and with spears.
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen,
Been a soldier for a thousand years.

And he's fighting for Democracy,
He's fighting for the Reds,
He says it's for the peace of all.
He's the one who must decide,
Who's to live and who's to die,
And he never sees the writing on the wall.

But without him,
How would Hitler have condemned them at Dachau?
Without him Caesar would have stood alone,
He's the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war,
And without him all this killing can't go on.

[The Universal Soldier]

Oh I’d go anywhere to fight for oil, be it olive, safflower or crude,
For cooking, for cars, take a rocket to the stars,
For a Cback rub, romantic rendezvous,
In your engine, on your face, or almost any place,
A little dab of oil will get you through,
Oh I’d go anywhere to fight for oil, to lubricate the red, white and blue!

[from Dana Lyons - Lubricate]

War! - huh- yeah-
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I'm just a no one,
With nothing to give you but Oh
I Love You

I can't give you anything but love, baby
That's the only thing I've plenty of, baby
Dream a while, scheme a while
You're sure to find
Happiness and I guess
All those things you've always pined for

Gee I love to see you lookin' swell, baby
Diamond bracelets Woolworth doesn't sell, baby
Till that lucky day, you know darn well, baby
I can't give you anything but love

The French were bred to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pear shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Can't buy me love, love
Can't buy me love

I'll buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel all right
I'll get you anything my friend if it makes you feel all right
'Cause I don't care too much for money, money can't buy me love

The best things in life are free
But you can keep it for the birds and bees.
Now gimme money
That's what I want
That's what I want
That's what I want.
