Most meaningful Lyrics to you

We kiss altogether wrong, no intention.​

 

You're at your best when you got the guns turned a hundred eighty degrees
And finding out if it adds all up right
We go through all the same lines or sell out to appease
But go to sleep in a bed of lies
I made my own more than once or twice
And now time is my time
Time is my own
And I feel so alive, yet feel so alone
'Cause you know you're the one and that that hasn't changed
Since you were nineteen and still in school waiting on a light
On the corner by sound exchange

 

In another life you might have been a genius
In another life you might have been a star
In another life your face might have been perfect
In another life you'd drive a better car

In another life all your jokes are funny
In another life your heart is free from fear
In another life you make a lot of money
In this other life everything is clear

In another life you're always the hero
In another life you always win the game
In another life no one ever cheats you
In another life you never have to change

In another life your friends never desert you
In another life you never have to cry
In another life no one ever hurts you
In this other life your loved ones never die

But this is the life you have

In another life you're always the victim
In another life you're always the thief
In another life you are always lonely
In this other life there is no relief

In your real life treat it like it's special
In your real life try to be more kind
In your real life think of those that love you
In this real life try to be less blind

This is the life you have

 

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
'Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free, I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the answer, there's a reason for the world
You and I

 

So many possibilities. But since I just dug out Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers" LP and spun it the other day ...

"If you smile at me, I will understand
'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend, you're from the other side
There's just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive."

Great song, and a great intro that tells you what happened without saying "nuclear war."

The Airplane's version is best because its three main singers (Kantner, Slick, Balin) all sing during the first verse quoted above. And the music is eerier than the CSN version.

 

Pour me another tequila, Sheila. Take off that red satin dress.

 

I'm going to be a happy idiot
and struggle for the legal tender
where the ads take aim
and lay their claim
to heart and soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie
in those things that money can buy
thought true love could have been a contender

Are you there? Say a prayer for the pretender
Who started out so young and strong only to surrender

 

Gliddy glup gloopy
Nibby nabby noopy la la la lo lo
Sabba sibby sabba

Nooby abba nabba le le lo lo
Tooby ooby walla nooby abba nabba
Early morning singing song

Oliver --- Good Morning, Starshine

 

FTFY

 

All your dreams are made
when you're chained to the mirror
and the razor blade.

So many great nights and benders leading off with this song.

 

Great song. Cool video. But romanticizing cocaine use is never a good idea.
