realised ive been playing far to long today when i was in a game & listening to radio. kate bush song came on,running up that hill,i think its called & i was sure there was a line in song that went-if i only could id make a deal with god & get him to slow play aces. could i possibly be right?! 8)

If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.
If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.

It doesn’t hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn’t hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I’m making?
You, it’s you and me.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with god,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don’t want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I’m tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don’t we?
You, it’s you and me.
It’s you and me won’t be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with god,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...

You,
It’s you and me,
It’s you and me won’t be unhappy.

C’mon, baby, c’mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C’mon, angel, c’mon, c’mon, darling,
Let’s exchange the experience, oh...

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with god,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with god,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with god,
And I’d get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.
If I only could, I’d be running up that hill.

And if I only could,
I’d make a deal with god,
And I’d get him to swap our places,


lol  :D

Welcome to Blonde.  :)up

Reach for the Stars, by SClub7?

You better you bet by The Who?

Ace of Spades by Motorhead?

How can you miss out 'The Gambler' by Kenny Rogers?  :redcard:

because I've got taste, and I'm the coward of the county

One of my faves:

Bob Dylan - Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts

Lucy in the sky with Diamond lights....Waddle and Hoddle!

Waddle, Hoddle and the Beatles.

Can u imagine?  :o :o :o :o :o

The Jack by AC/DC - live version has better lyrics

Oh No! Not another thread on Speed and Amphetamines.........................

thanks snoopy,for explanation & welcome. thought i was goin crazy. 6 months ive been playin & poker has taken over my life. everythings becoming poker relatd.

Welcome to my world.  :D

Speed. You're cetainly not referring to Hoddle there.  :D

One of my favorite lyrics is "To dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free..."

Name that tune

It rings a bell.

Is it from a Dylan song?

yes. Dylans lyrics are very deep if you really listen

This is an educated guess, but is it from a certain song that includes the line...

'Take a trip upon my swirling ship' (if I remember corrrectly)


Your lyric sounded similar in terms of 'drug abuse'.  :P

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

yes. I recognise most of that.

Great song.

Lyrically, you can't beat the fella. IMHO.

The Byrds did a cracking version.

you haven't named it yet, no brownie points

bah. humbug.

Dylan! Mr sally army man!

come again?  :dontask:

 :)up

there's a song (evrybody's changing) by keane that has lyrics which remind me of poker and playing a short stack (my usual game).

"try to make a move just to stay in the game"

 :dontask:

Away, the jokers's closing in,
Reform and they will win,
The light is fading fast.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

The girls come crawling on all fours,
Banging on locked doors,
High cards call the tune.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

Play me another hand,
Loose everything I am,
Until we meet again.

The ace, that's hiding up your sleeve,
Will cause the world to grieve,
The love you had is gone,
I know you know, they know, we all know.

The dream, in every player's heart,
To win it all not part,
They lie awake at night,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

The game, where gamblers rule the night,
And get your blood they might,
The joker's closin' in,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

This was one of the songs played at my wedding.



He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn’t play for the money he wins
He doesn’t play for the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of probable outcome
The numbers lead a dance

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
I’m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But that’s not the shape of my heart
That’s not the shape of my heart
