Scottish Elises

Can I suggest "Midnight" by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as the official SE song?

Great driving track, makes you feel all is well with world and the lyrics are quite apt, particularly the chorus "we are the lotus kids, better take note of this" and lines like "Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there's only one"

See what you think....


Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

Midnight Lyrics


Things will never be the same
Still I'm awfully glad I came
Resonating in the shape of things to come
Never waiting when I know there's only one

Messed it up but rest assured
No one ever thinks they're cured
Just a minute while I reinvent myself
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf

[pre chorus:]
Over the laws of light
Over the moon by midnight
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

[chorus:]
Everyone knows anything goes
We are the lotus kids
Better take note of this
For the story

The rising moon is on the shine
The blood of scorpios a nine
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe
Say it now cause john and jane would like to know

Is it safe inside your head
Songs to serenade the dead
All along I said I know no enemies
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees

[pre chorus]

[chorus]

[pre chorus]

Enter the rolling tide
Over the ocean so wide
Let's do it all this time
Everyone wishing well we go

[chorus x3]

Agreed. Saw them a couple of years back and was really disappointed.

Utter tosh. What you mean is that their current albums are not to your taste; that does not make them a crap band.

I was not a fan of By the Way, but I love their earlier, and more recent stuff. I think Stadium Arcadium is a great album.

So sayers of, "they used to be good, now they're crap." What period over the band's 20-odd year history was your favourite, or have you got 1 album only and base your views on radio play? If its the latter, your views are far too subjective to carry any weight.


All hail Blood Sugar S3x Magic as one of the greatest albums of all time - and a must-have on any car playlist

What he said!

Bill Withers Lovely day

This song reminds me of driving over the Leght

I think it was used on a old Ford advert???

You have to remember he's talking about a car not a female?

When I wake up in the morning
love
and the sun light hurts my eyes

And something without worning
love
bears heavy on my mind.
Then I look at you and the world's alright with me

Just one look at you and I know it's gonna be -

A lovely day - lovely day
lovely day
lovely day
lovely day

Lovely day
lovely day
lovely day
lovely day.
A lovely day - lovely day
lovely day
lovely day
lovely day

Lovely day
lovely day
lovely day
lovely day.

When the day that lies ahead of me seems impossible to face

And someone else instead of me always seems to know the way
Then I look at you and the world's alright with me

Just one look at you and I know it's gonna be -

A lovely day - lovely day
lovely day
lovely day
lovely day
...
When the day that lies ahead of me seems impossible to face
...
A lovely day - lovely day
lovely day
lovely day
lovely day

Look at that lawyer chat!

It's an opinion, you obviously like them while G doesn't so neither of you are right or wrong.

I personally own none of their albums but I've seen them live, know some old and some new and I don't like the new stuff and that's my opinion on them so I agree with G.

Not a fan of the Red Hot Chilli People but Bill Withers - Lovely day...

Yeah yeah...so sue me!

Metallica's Holier than Thou (black album) somehow somehow fits the bill nicer...


No more!
The craps rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead

Who are you? where ya been? where ya from?
Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know not

Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find somethig better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

It's not who you are it's who you know
Others lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are

You know... not
