Stars – Hold On When You Get Love And Let Go When You Give It Lyrics 11 years ago
Suggest corrections throughout:

There's been a lot of talk of love
But that don't amount to nothing
You can evoke the stars above
But that doesn't make it something

And the only way to last
And the only way to live it
Is to hold on when you get love,
And let go when you give it... give it.

It's a pretty melody
It might help you through the night time
But it doesn't make it easy
To leave the party at the right time

If I'm frightened, if I'm high
It's my weakness. please forgive it
At least I hold on when I get love,
And I let go when I give it... give it... give it

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love,
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love,
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it.
What do I do?

The world wont listen to this song
And the radio wont play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it.
Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it.

What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it.
What do I do?
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do?

I know it's true, at least I think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, life will go on
I keep sayin' it from the dark, nothing above me

I know it's true, at least I think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, life will go on
I keep sayin' it from the dark, nothing above me

Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love,
So you can let go when you give it.
Give it.. give it.. give it.. give it.. give it.. give it.

Gregory and the Hawk – Soulgazing Lyrics 13 years ago
I was doing fine missin' the marks, missin' the lines
And the days I would catch myself from fallin'
you wanted all of that and more

Keep me, collect me
like the stones you would find on the beach
Tumble me smooth
you know it's some of that I need

Bleed

I was doing fine meeting my words according to time
But the poetry written to save me
you wanted all of that and more

Keep me, collect me
like the rare records on your shelf
Spin me at half speed I need some of that myself

Bleed

What are you fighting for?
(I was doing fine)
too sad I'm same as yours?
(and the days I would catch myself from fallin')
what are you fallin' for?
(Keep me, collect me
like the stones you would find on the beach)
too sad I'm same as yours?
(Tumble me smooth
you know it's some of that I need)

CocoRosie – Gallows Lyrics 13 years ago
CORRECTION

It was just before the moon hung
HEAR weary, heavy hating
the gallows and the graves hold
the milky, milky cradle
His tears have turned to poppies
shimmer in the midnight
Flower in the twilight
a Flower in the twilight

And our screaming
is in his screaming
our screaming in
the willow

They took him to the gallows,
He fought them all the way though,
And When they asked us how we knew his name
We died just before him
our eyes are in the flowers
our hands are in the branches
our voices in the breezes

And our screaming
is in his screaming
our screaming in
the willow tree

We're waiting by the willow
our milky, milky cradle
our lockets long have rusted
his picture worn and weathered
our hair is in the garden
our voices in mitosis
our wombs are in the blossoms
our arms are in the branches

And our screaming
is in his screaming
our screaming in
the willow tree

And our screaming
is in his screaming
our screaming in
the willow
