Song Dedication

To help start people posting I am borrowing a topic idea from another forum. This is the song dedication game!

Dedicate a song to the poster above you - have fun!

Dedicated to the lovely Isobel...

That's What Friends Are For

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you

Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Dedicated to: Dr Sage , Medicine Woman

Doctor, doctor, give me the news I’ve got a bad case of lovin’ you No pill’s gonna cure my ill I’ve got a bad case of lovin’ you



Love ya!
Adora

Dedicated to Dory Lusch, the most Lusch-ious kajira there ever was, and a precious friend.

Words from Leona Lewis' "Footprints In The Sand."

You walked with me, footprints in the sand
and helped me understand where I'm going...
You walked with me, when I was all alone
With so much unknown along the way

And I heard you say:

I promise you, I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

So I promise you....

I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair
I'll carry you when you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand."

Luff youuuuuuu....

- Anya.

To the most sought after lady of the night, this one will hopefully make you smile as you make me smile, flying arrows or not.

"Nice" - Duran Duran

Take the beautiful sting of a Scorpio,
A careless smile and it begins to snow.
And it hurts me to think
That you might never know
That I've got this thing about you.

In case you don't understand...
There's something else I meant to tell you.

There is nothing better
Than being with you.
And I'm feeling so nice.
There is nowhere better
Than here with you.
And it's feeling so nice.

Staying up with the moon
And walking home in the rain.
Mixed with your perfume
And never twice the same.
I got a lot to lose
But everything to gain
When I really think about it.

You haven't got a clue...
It's all that I can do to hide it.

There is nothing better
Than being with you.
And I'm feeling so nice.
There is nowhere better
Than here with you
And it's feeling so nice.

Did I already say,
'Cause you make me forget...
I might as well be brave and tell 'ya.

And it hurts me to think that
You might never know.
Will it hurt as much being true?
I might as well be brave and tell 'ya....

Yeah I'm feeling
And it's feeling so nice.

Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

For Viki Carver, my new owner, I found the english translation of a nice german song of Roger Cicero, a great jazz singer.
The original german title is "Frauen regier'n die Welt" (Women rule the world)


The boys in the school yard, they called me a square
Learning a lesson, some are still unaware
Not necessary for me to be cool
If I could carry her books home from school

When I heard she took a course in ballet
I gave up baseball and I joined right away
I felt a fool in those tight leotards
Since that day I know who holds the cards

How they walk and smile
How they talk and while
They are making us think that we're kings
Guess who is really pulling the strings

Just a glance, one move
Turns a "no" into "I approve"
And so now that your head's in a whirl
And around her finger you're curled
Guess who rules the world

All the stops from core to naive
And boy a trick or two more up her sleeve
Pull Bill Clinton down to his knees
Knock some sense into Beckham with ease

No use using your reason or rhyme
You know her powers are much more than sublime
Even daddy gets left out in the cold
Till he finally does what he's told

How they walk and smile
How they talk and while
They are making us think that we're kings
We're out buying 'em fur coats and rings

Just a move, one glance
Lets you know who's really wearing the pants
And so now that your head's in whirl
And you're calling her your little girl
Guess who rules the world

How they look and smile
How they talk and while
They're making us think that we're kings
Guess who is really pulling the strings

Just a glance, one move
Turns a "no" into "I approve"
And while your head's in a whirl
And around her finger you're curled
Guess who rules the world

Guess who rules the world

For a Kajirus that seems at times so silent ... but knows ... i am sure the feelings a kajirae must feel. The lyrics i love and although Javier and i only talked several times i hope he will appriciate this one ... for him !

<blowkiss> to Javier ... from Raven

I'll bet two years, i'll bet one year
I'll bet those years, you won't be here
I guess I'll keep, i guess you'll keep
Every memorie, sadly we never may be.

I'll bet my tears, I'll bet your tears
I'll bet those tears over time will dissapear

Wait a minute I have more to say
Silence is everything, oh

I need you more you'll ever know
I still do, willing to let it show
I need a minute to get to you
I feel like I will get through

Come over and say nothing
Silence is everything, oh

I know I know
feelings can show if you let go
it must be told, I've got to hold
Oh what we used to have.

I will forgive, if you forget
all the things we have said, well let's accept it

I need you more than you'll ever know
i still do, willing to let it show
I need a minute to get to you
I feel like I will get through

Come over and say nothing
Silence is everything, oh

A song for my Raven, "Late Night" by Syd Barrett, the founding member of Pink Floyd. The original version is fantastic, but I still prefer the cover of it by This Mortal Coil, found on their final album, "Blood".

When I woke up today
And you weren't there to play
Then I wanted to be with you
When you showed me your eyes
Whispered love at the skies
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me...

When I lay still at night seeing
Stars high and light
Then I wanted to be with you
When the rooftops shone dark
All alone (I) saw a spark
Spark of love just to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me...

If I mention your name
Turn around on a chain
Then the sky opens for you
When we grew very tall
When I saw you so small
Then I wanted to stay with you
Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me...

For a man of the Black caste .... War Pigs by Black Sabbath !!!


Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
ALL RIGHT NOW!

To a Warrior whom I do not know very well, but from all accounts is one very fine warrior indeed!

Nightwish ~Tenth Man Down~


Today I killed, he was just a boy
Eight before him, I knew them all
In the fields a dying oath...
I'd kill them all to save my own

Cut me free, Bleed with me, Oh no
One by one, We will fall, down down
Pull the plug, End the pain, Run'n fight for life
Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

Deliver me from this war
It's not for me it's because of you
Devil's instant my eternity
Obey to kill to save yourself

Cut me free ...

"I envy the 9 lives that gave me hell
My path made up by their torn bodies
Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust
Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore"

They wait for me back home
The live with eyes turned away
They were the first ones to see
They are the last ones to bleed

"The ultimate high as all beautiful dies
A ruler's tool, priest's excuse, tyrant's delight...
I alone, the great white hunter
I'll march till the dawn brings me rest
10th patriot at the gallow's pole!"

Cut me free ...

This is for Eika, of course, who's full of personality and talent!

"Girl"

A girl is the world
That she hasn't heard
The truth is tiptoeing the edge of her skirt
The traffic's a blur
The street's a river
She's bigger and braver than she is clever

See it's her, it's her
See it's her, it's her

A mind so complex
It's breaking her neck
She thinks she's a car driving to to its own wreck
Too wild and cool, vulnerable
To think one could change her
That's where I'm a fool

Won't you see it's her, it's her
See it's her, it's her

A girl is a verb
A whirl of color
In doing she's being
She never thought she was thinking anything you could

See it's her, it's her
See it's her, it's her

A girl is a verb
A girl is a verb
A girl is a verb...

For Mistress Verity who keeps us on our toes!

Violator Girl!

Violator girl she’s the queen of the world
She stops traffic with a spin and a twirl
Works all day but she lives for the night
She got a thing for the neon lights

Violator girl
She’s the queen of the world
Violator girl
She’s gonna rock your world

Too hot to handle and ready to rock
This little hen’s got me loaded and cocked
She’s daddy’s girl but she’s mine for tonight
Take a million bucks to keep her satisfied

Violator girl
She’s the queen of the world
Violator girl
She’s gonna rock your world

I pick all my silks to be a little too sexy
Just like all of my thoughts they always get a bit naughty
When I'm out with the slaves I always play a bit bitchy
Can't change the way I am sexy naughty bitchy me

I'm the kind of slave that fw don't like
I'm the kind that men have to chastise
I'm the kind that your momma and your daddy were afraid you'd buy
I may seem a blond dumb ass but that's only to the men who don't have the
tarn that makes a slave like me wanna hop in and roll

Free think it's intimidating when a slave is cool with her sexuality
I'm a 180 to the stereotype slaves like staying home and being intelligent

Doesnt need an introduction



He swallered a frog
And hollered "yum yum"
He slid down the hillside
And guarded his tongue
He entered the garden
On this bright moonlit night
And he stopped in his tracks
It was love at first sight

He said "my skin is black"
And "your skin is green"
You dwell in a garden
I live by a stream
Although I'm short and stocky and
You're long and green
I've got a crush on you
And he squeezed her tighter
And tighter
And tighter
I've got a crush on you

He said "I'm a king snake"
And you'll be my queen
With a butler and servants
And your own private stream
And if you refuse me
It would be such a shame
Because I'm so tired of doing
My own thang

And he squeezed her tighter
To excite her
And delight her
I've got a crush on you

And I'll be back tomorrow

Next day when he got there
A two legged man
Was holding sweet green thang
In his big human hands
Her long jet of water
Shot out of her nose
Oh king snake had fallen in love with a hose

He said "my skin is black"
And "your skin is green"
You dwelled in a garden
I live by a stream
Although you're made of plastic
I think you're fantastic
I've got a crush on you
But I don't think it's gonna work out

For Bella, I dedicate "Song to the Siren" by the legendary Tim Buckley, from his 1970 album, 'Starsailor'. However, yet again, I recommend the cover by This Mortal Coil, off their debut album "It'll End In Tears", featuring Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins on vocals.

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into your eyes.

And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me;
Let me enfold you."

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?

Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
I'm as puzzled as a newborn child.
I'm as riddled as the tide.
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you."
"Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."

Although I posted once before I could not resist to do it again. For a very special person, not only as he is my master in SL, surely a wonderfull partner to RP with but also an amazing person that I love dearly. My favorite song, is just the only one that is suitable when I think of a dedication to him.

Hope these words express it ... as they come from the heart


Raven


So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know


So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more form the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Well uhmz ..yes.. i recently posted in this as well.. but now that i get the opportunity to respond to my sweet sister.. i mean.. no.. i cant let that pass me by... .. so here goes:

We are family
I got my raven sister with me
We are family
Get up people of Laura and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together
Black and Red as we walk on by
and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving huge love in a family dose

Living life on Byron's and Severus' chain is fun
and we've only just begun
To get our share of their delights
high hopes we have for the future
And our goals of Tatrix and First Broom in sight
no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in yourself and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel

**groans**

yeah yeah.. sue me.. but the groan just begs for a reply....

This is from the song Jim Croce - Charlie Green Play That Slide Trombone.

Obviously i adjusted it.. just a tat bit really.. *smirks*

I belong to a Master imbued with scorn
He comes from Laura, oh yeah
And you ain't seen some pestilence since you been born
Free Women and slaves beware
He wails and moans, grunts and groans
He can roar just like a mountain larl
And you ain't seen mordacity since you been born
Until you meet Him, heed approach at own peril

Before we take over this entire forum post ... My final entree ... (i hope *winks*) For my special sister !!!

I love you dearly !!

Raven

She, won't get off the phone, she won't leave me alone
When I'm talking to that guy
She, can be a real nightmare, gets me to do her hair
And says it never turns out right
But then I put on a face, she can tell
Cause she knows me so well

Chorus
Who's has been my closest friend, someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea, no one loves you like a family
My sister, sister

She, reads my diary, she borrows clothes from me
And I never get them back again
And she (and she), locks the bath room door, says five minutes more
And now and then run still not in
And sometimes we fight, every family does (oh yeah)
But that can't change our love

Who's has been my closest friend, someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea, no one loves you like a family
My sister, sister

To fell and break the good times, who helped me through the hard times
Who bring me down to roof, remind me what's in coming
And who comes first? Who comes first?
Gotta tell me who I'm talking 'bout
My sister, sister
(Oh yeah) and who comes first? Aren't no doubt about it
My sister, sister

She, watches out for me, I know she'l always be
By my side (by my side)

Who's has been my closest friend, someone who will be there till the end
My sister, sister
Deeper than the deepest sea, no one loves you like a family
My sister, sister
