An angel's smile is what you sell. You promise me heaven then put me through hell. Chains of love, got a hold on me. When passion's a prison you can't break free.
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done And the sun goes down And moonlight's shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I'll come crawling on back to you
Song: Bat Out of Hell Artist: Meatloaf
Meatloaf was at the House of Blues last Thursday. Had I realized it I would have sooo been there! The review said it was a typical Meatloaf concert - full of angst and drama, what fun!
why on earth would I take offense to that!!! lol! thanks Celia! I too love to rock out to that song! Its good to give other drivers on the road something to laugh at! Here's another one along the same lines!
She's got an MBA and a plush corner office She's got a don't mess with me attitude She'll close a deal she don't reveal that she can feel The loneliness the emptiness Except when she comes in here She's the product of the Me generation She's got a rock and roll side when you get her agitated She got the tattoo there on her derriere from a spring break dare In Panama where love was all she thought she'd ever need
She yells out to the band Know any Bruce Springsteen Then she jumps up on the bar And she, and she starts to scream She says
Hell yeah! Turn it up! Right on! Hell yeah! Sounds good! Sing that song! Guitar man playin' all night long Take me back to where the music hit me When life was good and love was easy
Hell Yeah - Montgomery Gentry
By the way Calinda, I posted on yesterdays before I posted todays, I just did not have the chance to get on yesterday.... My FAVORITE song ever!
I see the light at the end But every time I take a step, it gets dim Tell me is this hell we're livin in? If so, heaven's got to be better But if we're hellbound, whatever, let's go down
I know the word's only in the song once, but I'm going to post the whole lyrics anyway. Because this has been one of my favorite songs since...well, pretty much since I knew what music was and started learning to sing. The words are funny even read without the music behind them.
The Mississippi Squirrel Revival By: Ray Stevens
Well when I was kid I'd take a trip Every summer, down to Mississip'. To visit my granny in her ante bellum world. I'd run barefooted all day long, Climbing trees free as a song. One day I happened catch myself a squirrel.
I stuffed him down in an old shoebox, Punched a couple holes in the top, And when Sunday came, I snuck him in the church.
I was sittin way back in the very last pew Showin' him to my good buddy Hugh, When that squirrel got loose And went totally berserk!
Well, what happened next is hard to tell. Some thought it was Heaven. Others thought it was Hell. But the fact that something was among us was plain to see.
As the choir sang "I Surrender All", the squirrel ran up Harv Newlan's coveralls. Harv leaped to his feet and said, "Somethin's got a hold on me! YEOW!"
CHORUS The day the squirrel went berserk, In the First Self-Righteous Church In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula. It was a fight for survival, That broke out in revival. They were jumpin' pews and shouting "Hallelujah!"
Well Harv hit the aisles dancin' and screamin'. Some thought he had religion. Others thought he had a demon. Harv thought he had a weed-eater loose in his fruit of the looms. He fell to his knees to plead and beg, And that squirrel ran out of his britches leg, Unobserved to the other side of the room.
All the way down to the Amen pew, Where sat Sister Bertha "Better-than-you", Who had been watching all the commotion with sadistic glee. Shoot, you should've seen the look in her eyes When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs. She jumped to her feet and said, "Lord have mercy on me!"
As the squirrel made laps inside her dress, She began to cry and then to confess To sins that would make a sailor blush with shame. She told of gossip and church dissention, But the thing that got the most attention Is when she talked about her love life... Then she started naming names!
REPEAT CHORUS
Well seven deacons and then the pastor got saved. And twenty-five thousand dollars got raised. And fifty volunteered for missions in the Congo on the spot. And even without an invitaion, There were at least five hundred re-dedications. And we all got re-baptised whether we needed it or not.
Now you've heard the Bible stories I guess Of how He parted the waters for Moses to pass. All the miracles God has brought to this ol' world. But the one I'll remember to my dyin' day Is how He put that church back on the narrow way With a half-crazed Mississippi Squirrel"

He's the lonely fear of dying, And for some, of living too. He's your private nightmare pricking. He'd just love to turn the screw. So stand as one defiant, Yes, and let your voices swell. Stare that beastie in the face, and really give him hell.
An angel's smile is what you sell.

Like a bat out of hell
ReplyDeleteI'll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And moonlight's shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven
I'll come crawling on back to you

This is my favorite song about hell. If you haven't heard it, go find it right away!:
ReplyDeleteIn the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay
People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the Old Man stamping his feet
There is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side
Now the D and the A
And the M and the N and the A
And the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be hell to pay
Song: Hell
Artist: Squirrel Nut Zippers

OK - my first official post and this one's for Meridith - all in good fun, of course :)
ReplyDelete-one of my favorite songs to sing along with on the radio - for obvious reasons!
Hey I'm redneck woman
And I ain't no high class broad
I'm just a product of my raisin'
And I say "hey y'all" and "Yee Haw"
And I know all the words to every Tanya Tucker song
So here's to all my sisters out there keeping it country
Let me get a big "Hell Yeah" from the redneck girls like me
Hell Yeah !
Song: Redneck Woman
Artist: Gretchen Wilson
Candace, I like that song as well. I really like the Turkish version you gave me! And I'd forgotten about the video!

ReplyDeleteShe's got an MBA and a plush corner office
She's got a don't mess with me attitude
She'll close a deal she don't reveal that she can feel
The loneliness the emptiness
Except when she comes in here
She's the product of the Me generation
She's got a rock and roll side when you get her agitated
She got the tattoo there on her derriere from a spring break dare
In Panama where love was all she thought she'd ever need
She yells out to the band
Know any Bruce Springsteen
Then she jumps up on the bar
And she, and she starts to scream
She says
Hell yeah!
Turn it up!
Right on!
Hell yeah!
Sounds good!
Sing that song!
Guitar man playin' all night long
Take me back to where the music hit me
When life was good and love was easy
