Oh, telltale heart, telltale heart
You shouldn’t have put the horse before the cart
Oh, you shouldn’t have spread the news
The tears you now cry are of no use
Your songs of joy have turned into the blues
Love will never again light your fuse
Oh, telltale heart, telltale heart
She joined up with you and then tore you apart.

Ah, heart of mine, stop beating so wildly
She wanted to go, and she went gladly
She left you alone beating so sadly
Serves you right for loving her so madly;
Oh, you shouldn’t have shown her
Just how much you loved her
You shouldn’t have told her
That you couldn’t live without her;
She swore you were the only one
Then she tore you apart just for fun
She promised to always be around
Now you look but she can’t be found.

She waited till she had total power over you
She planned and schemed just what to do
 She turned you into a mouse and played with you
She led you to the trap she had set for you;
Foolish heart, you were wrong to display your love for her
It was a mistake to go in the open without cover
Now you’re paying the price for trusting her
You’re crying alone but she’s loving another;
You should have stepped more carefully
And kept yourself under lock and key –
If you show a girl you love her completely
She will make your life a complete misery.

Your Promise

October 24, 2013Lyrics/Songsbetrayal, broken, compromise, coward, dramatic, end of the line, facing facts, grief, heartache, love, passion, regret, rock and roll, romantic, Satori Publishing, Your Promisesatoripublishing2013

With tears in your eyes
You said you did not want to die
Your promise was made in the heat of love
In the cold light of day love is not enough
Other things have to be taken into consideration
Life is all about reaching a Compromise Solution.

Your promise
Which you now break
Just like my heart;
Your promise
Was a big mistake
From the very start;
Your promise
Was a big fake
Just like your heart.

Babe, please don’t blame yourself at all
Everyone is to blame and your share is small
Everyone has to take care of their own skin
Never mind the hole you’ve dumped me in
I’ll climb out and pull myself together …
But your lips, your lips promised forever!

Your promise
Which you now break
Just like my heart;
Your promise
Was a big mistake
From the very start;
Your promise
Was a big fake
Just like your heart.

When life gets too hard
Everybody has to act like a coward
Otherwise life would come to an end
Everything breaks that cannot bend …
So this is the end of the road for me
I’m straight and true, as you can see.

Your promise
Which you now break
Just like my heart;
Your promise
Was a big mistake
From the very start;
Your promise
Was a big fake
Just like your heart.

Star-crossed Love

October 24, 2013Lyrics/Songsacross the board, aspire, blessed, compromise, conspire, cursed, dramatic, end of the line, facing facts, grief, heartache, love, passion, permission, regret, rock and roll, romantic, Satori Publishing, Star-crossed Love, timeless, universalsatoripublishing2013

Star-crossed love is doomed to die
The very heavens conspire to make us cry
Star-crossed love is a joy that’s brief
But the heartbreak means everlasting grief
Star-crossed love makes us hold our breath
We know it means certain death.

We have to tell lies
And make sure we have alibis
We have to mask our faces
And meet in out of the way places
We have to make love in a hurry
All the time afraid of discovery.

Every boy and girl has a bit on the side
The heartache begins when we don’t want to hide
But it’s a crime to bring love into the open
Our parents and relatives will never give permission
The love-light dims and goes out in our eyes
Our souls die when we’re forced to compromise.

Learn from all the stories in the past
Love like this is not meant to last
Societies rise up and say with one voice
‘You cannot follow your heart’s choice
Be like us and follow our tradition
Take our poison – and then pass it on’.

They curse and punish us for being in love
But we are blessed by the gods above
The future has been mapped out for you and I
The gods will turn to nectar every tear we now cry …
We can’t live apart, we can’t live together
But no-one can stop us from dying together –
Together forever.

Please Tell Me Why

October 24, 2013Lyrics/Songsbetrayal, despair, dramatic, end of the line, facing facts, grief, heartache, love, mistake, passion, Please Tell Me Why, regret, rock and roll, romantic, Satori Publishing, stranger, timeless, universalsatoripublishing2013

Please tell me why
Don’t make me cry
Please tell me why
Won’t you even try?
Please tell me why
Or I’ll surely die.

Everybody makes mistakes they live to regret
But our love didn’t have to die just yet
Don’t bury it without putting up a fight
If it’s my fault I’ll try to put it right
Please don’t keep me suspended in mid-air
Day by day I’m more and more in despair.

Please tell me why
Don’t make me cry
Please tell me why
Won’t you even try?
Please tell me why
Or I’ll surely die.

I begged and went down on my knees
But still you wouldn’t listen to my pleas
I explained my reasons over and over
But still you gave me the cold shoulder
I repeated everything I had to say
But still you turned and walked away.

Please tell me why
Don’t make me cry
Please tell me why
Won’t you even try?
Please tell me why
Or I’ll surely die.

Let’s work it out before it’s too late
Don’t let such a sweet love turn into hate
Countless times your sweet lips promised forever
Now you treat me worse than a stranger
I begged you to phone or write a letter
But silence was your only answer.

Please tell me why
Don’t make me cry
Please tell me why
Won’t you even try?
Please tell me why
Or I’ll surely die.

Tonight

October 24, 2013Lyrics/Songsdread, end of the line, facing facts, grief, heartache, icy dew, love, passion, regret, rock and roll, romantic, saddest song, Satori Publishing, timeless, Tonight, universalsatoripublishing2013

Tonight I can sing the saddest song
Woke up this morning to find my baby gone
She phoned to say ‘There’s no point in going on
Might as well finish it while our love is strong’
Oh, Cherry, Cherry baby, you’ve got it all wrong.

Tonight a glacier freezes my burning heart
You pierced it so casually with a careless dart
Once our hearts beat together but now they’re far apart
Women have got saying goodbye down to a fine art
The end is always so different from the start.

Tonight a desert spreads to every corner of my bed
Next to me is the empty pillow on which you once lay your head
Soon someone else will feast on your luscious body instead
Our love was brief but the endless grief fills me with dread
Tomorrow’s sun will never warm my soul that is now dead.

Tonight I lie awake in memory of you
The thoughts that chill me like icy dew
‘You only loved me half as much as I love you’
‘I was just a phase you were going through’
Sweet, sweet Cherry, how am I going to live without you?

Drunk On My Own Tears

October 24, 2013Lyrics/Songscrying cup, Drunk On My Own Tears, end of the line, facing facts, grief, heartache, love, oblivion, passion, regret, rock and roll, romantic, salty sweet, Satori Publishing, timeless, universal, wide-eyed and leglesssatoripublishing2013

I have drunk from the pools of sorrow
I am drunk, drunk on my own tears
I drink my fill without having to beg, steal or borrow
I love the salty sweet taste of my own tears
I’ll drink myself into the oblivion of tomorrow
I am drunk, drunk on my own tears.

When a bone breaks all you do is cry
But when your heart breaks all your emotions die
A broken bone can be set straight again
But a broken heart will always feel the pain …
Last night’s tears are not yet dry
Today I continue to cry a fresh supply
My cheeks are caked with salt
I try but my tears will not halt.

I don’t want to remember but you won’t let me forget
Erase my memory – No! Let me keep that – and yet
Just the thought of you fills up my crying cup
Let it run over and I’ll drink it to the last teardrop …
The memory of your cherry lips and your soft caress
Just two of the reasons why I’m wide-eyed and legless
I’ll cry me a river and sail far, far away
But I know your memory will haunt me to my dying day.

There’s Nothing Left

Once upon a time I had all that was sweet
A heart full of love I placed at your feet
You led me to believe it would always be safe and sound
I never thought one day you would bury it in the ground;
You promised so much and delivered so little
You bowled me over like a skittle
You brought all your charms to bear
Then you stepped on me without a care.

There’s nothing left
You kissed and kissed
And kissed the breath out of me;
There’s nothing left
You squeezed and squeezed
And squeezed the juice out of me;
There’s nothing left
You sucked and sucked
And sucked the life out of me.

What do you want from me now?
Aren’t you satisfied with the blood off my brow?
Isn’t it enough that you’ve destroyed my life?
There’s only so much that you can do with a knife;
My lips have forgotten how to smile
You have taken all that was worthwhile
There is nothing left except an empty shell
Crush it and sweep it away as well.

The water from my eyes has run dry
The blood from my heart refuses to cry
My tongue cannot move the words to say
My feet have taken root and cannot walk away;
Your eyes, which once had me mesmerised,
Like a snake you now have me paralysed
Poison me or set me free
Either way – put me out of my misery.

True Love Will Never Die

October 24, 2013Lyrics/Songsaspire, facing facts, grief, heartache, higher ground, love, passion, regret, rock and roll, romantic, Satori Publishing, seduction, True Love Will Never Die, voodoo rhythmssatoripublishing2013

Baby, no matter how hard they try
True love will never die
No matter how much they make us cry
True love will never die
Whatever happens we’ll never say goodbye
True love will never die.

Your parents beat the living daylights out of you
My parents try their best to turn me against you
They say we are from a different caste and religion
They warn us but we are too far gone …
Mummy and Daddy, please don’t preach
We are already out of your reach.

Baby, wipe the tears from your eyes
True love will never die
I’ll make sure you never cry
True love will never die
When you need me I’ll be close by
True love will never die.

They do their best to keep us apart
But they can’t separate the love in our hearts
If I can’t see you when I want, babe, then
I’ll bide my time and see you when I can
I’ll take you in my arms and kiss away your tears
I’ll keep you from harm and soothe all your fears.

Baby, please don’t cry
True love will never die
Hold your head up high
True love will never die
Somehow we’ll get by
True love will never die.

Mama – it’s natural for boys and girls to get together
Papa – that’s how it’s always been and will be forever …
One fine day, babe, we’ll make love all night
One fine day, babe, everything will be alright
But to make that day come around
We have to get off this merry-go-round.

Baby, reach for the sky
True love will never die
Spread your wings and fly
True love will never die
Nobody has a love like you and I
True love will never die.

Tears Of Blood

You advised me how to get by
You said forget – but how can I?
Can my lungs forget to breathe?
Can my heart forget to beat?
Can I forget my love for you?
You said forget – but how can I?
Tell me how and I will try
I’ll try – but I know I won’t survive.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

I can’t stop loving you
Though you know how hard I try
I can’t help remembering you
Though each time I break down and cry:
From the moment you went away
I lost every meaning to my life
A gash opened up on that day
I’ll heal the wound with a knife.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

Don’t ask why if I start to cry
– I was planning to ask you to be my wife –
If ever you see me just walk on by
You’re no longer in the plans of my life;
Blood of my heart, don’t delay, flow away
I’ll set you free with a knife
Blood of my heart, don’t stay, flow away
Flow out of my life.

Tears of blood
Cried by my broken heart
Tears of blood
Flowed when you tore it apart
Tears of blood
Colour red each lonely night
Tears of blood
Mean the end is in sight.

Love You Like An Animal

October 24, 2013Lyrics/Songs18+, across the board, adults only, end of the line, erotic, exhibitions, facing facts, family tomb, grief, heartache, love, Love You Like An Animal, lust, major surgery, passion, possessions, regret, rock and roll, romantic, Satori Publishing, sexual, taboo, timeless, universal, voodoo rhythmssatoripublishing2013

Your husband gets on top of you as if
He’s going to pray
You lie there frozen stiff
Nothing else to do or say

The rocking motion only remind you of
Your immortal schooldays when
Boys tore your knickers off
And injected you with sweet pain …

Memories and regrets haunt you
And point you in my direction
Lock the door and I’ll give you
All you want – red hot action!

I’ll love you like an animal
Love you like an animal
When I get my claws into you
And thrust to the heart of you
I’ll sink my teeth in your neck
And leave you a physical wreck
I’ll love you like an animal
Love you like an animal –
And you’ll feel sensational!

People like you are all the same
You start with the best of intentions
Family tradition is chiefly to blame
And cowardice – which no one mentions

Your father’s disease and your mother’s poison
Were inherited by you while still in the womb
And in turn you’ll be taught to pass them on
Your children too must be buried alive in the family tomb …

Babe, turn to me in your hour of need
Come and lay your aching head on my chest
I have a serum on which you can feed
While I suck the poison out of your breast.

I’ll love you like an animal
Love you like an animal
Love you with a frenzy of emotion
Dangerous lust with a touch of devotion
Prowling through a jungle of flesh on fire
Fountain spring and hot bed of desire
I’ll love you like an animal
Love you like an animal –
And you’ll feel sensational!

All your material possessions
Have bought you security
All your empty exhibitions
Earn my hateful pity

You were never brave enough
To cut the cord and fly
You rejected the boy who gave you love
Now your heart must wither and die …

I’m not a nursemaid or a guru
I’m not promising you’ll always smile
Behind closed doors I’ll make love to you
And you’ll be happy … for a while.

I’ll love you like an animal
Love you like an animal
The opposite of death is desire
I’ll pull you out of the mire
I’ll set your body on fire
I’ll lift you higher and higher
I’ll love you like an animal
Love you like an animal –
And you’ll feel sensational!

Chilli-pepper In My Eyes

October 24, 2013Lyrics/SongsChilli-pepper In My Eyes, cries, end of the line, facing facts, floodgates, grief, heartache, love, passion, poetic, regret, rock and roll, romantic, Satori Publishing, tears, timeless, universalsatoripublishing2013

Though my heart’s been broken
And my smile is just a token
I don’t want you feeling guilty
Over the pain you’re causing me;
Please don’t think that I’ll die
Because of a single word – goodbye
I’m not a man who easily cries
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.

Wounds heal … and the pain eases
In time I’ll pick up the pieces
Though the thread of my life has been snapped
Though I tripped the wire and am now trapped;
The floodgates opened when you said you had to go
Eve though, for now, I smile and put on a show
Still my tears fall like rain from the skies
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.

My heart didn’t stand a chance
From the moment we met
Your eyes first glance …
Now you ask me to forget;
Our hearts touched and beat together
Our bodies entwined and melted into each other
I was cast adrift when you cut the ties
You threw chilli-pepper in my eyes.

Spare me a tender thought now and again
When you’re happy – think of me then
Think of me but don’t blame yourself
I swear you haven’t left me on the shelf;
You’re all I had, your memory is all I’ve got
It’s not – No! No! It’s not that, it’s not
My broken heart releasing pain through my eyes
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.

The floodgates opened when you said you had to go
Even though, for now, I smile and put on a show
Still my tears fall like rain from the skies
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes;
Please don’t think that I’ll die
Because of a single word – goodbye
I’m not a man who easily cries
It’s just chilli-pepper in my eyes.

Crying On Your Radio

You thought you wouldn’t have to face it
You thought you could easily avoid it
You thought you could walk away from it
And not let it bother you
But I’ve got news for you
When my tears begin to flow
They’re going to follow you
No matter where you go.

You’re going to hear me
(Out of sight)
Crying on your radio
Crying on your radio
Crying on your radio
(Day and night).

Your friends are all talking
About my heart that’s breaking
They never heard such a sad sound
‘What kind of girl could cause such a wound?’
You turn away – you don’t want them to know
Just what makes it ache so …
You cover your ears – you run out of the office
No matter where you go my song gives you no peace.

You hear me
(Out of sight)
Crying on your radio
Crying on your radio
Crying on your radio
(Day and night).

Your sweet mouth promised me eternal love
Your countless kisses were never enough
Heaven was in our grasp but you let go
Your silly reason made it worse, you know;
If I die, let it be on your head
For evermore I’ll lie alone in my bed
Hoping and praying you’ll come back again
But till then:

You’re going to hear me
(Out of sight)
Crying on your radio
Crying on your radio
Crying on your radio
(Day and night).
