Wish You Would

Post by nyjm »

wish you would
noah mclaughlin

(why don't you) come up and see me sometime
(why don't you) stay longer then you usually do
(why don't you) conjure me whenever you need
i can chase that specter for you

i wish you would
come away

it wasn't like this before that fateful night
it wasn't like i had any control
it wasn't like i could stop myself
that wasn't like me at all

i wish you would
come away

it was our first kiss that first bliss
that last gasp of life

opened my heart but you didn't want none
opened my hand; you nailed it down
opened my mouth but you stuffed it full
i opened my eyes, but still

i wish you would
come away

it was our first kiss that first bliss
that last gasp of life

Wish You Would
Nobody, et al.

Nothing I can say
Is gonna make you stay
But I wish you would
I wish you would

No words I can find
Can make you change your mind
But I wish you would
I wish you would

Always on the road
Never going back
Gonna miss the train
Gonna jump the track
Never moving forward
Never moving back
Always at a standstill
Afraid of an attack

Moving like a butterfly
Gentle like a breeze
Walking on those eggshells
Scared if you should sneeze
Fearful of this ending
Begging on my knees
But something here is broken
And you cannot fix me

There's nothing I can do
To make it up to you
But I wish I could
I wish I could.
“We may be in the Universe as dogs and cats are in our libraries, seeing the books and hearing the conversation, but having no inkling of the meaning of it all.”

Hey you blowhard - criticizing everyone
Nothings not good enough - ain't no way of pleasing you

Chorus
wish you would
loosen your smile - open your eyes - lose your disguise - untie your tongue tie
wish you could
unlock your door - stop keeping score - justice is blind - let out the sunshine


universal center - bloated sense of self-worth yeah
what you do will come around - selfishness is killing you

Chorus
Bridge

Running out of time 3X

Carrying that grudge around - noone wants to be your friend
yeah they're all laughing now - noone's going tell you when.

Wish You Would

Have you thought about robot armies?
Have you thought about ninja babies?
Have you thought about kittens with lasers on their tails?
Oh, how I wish you would.
Oh, how I wish you would.

Have you thought about ninja grandpas?
Have you thought about mutant babies?
Have you thought about dolphins with lasers on their heads?
Oh, how I wish you would.
Oh, how I wish you would.

Have you thought about robot bunnies?
Have you thought about sleeping babies?
Have you thought about puppies with lasers on their chins?
Oh, how I wish you would.

Wish You Would
by WreckdoM

You won't shave my head and slap me with fish
But I wish you would, I wish you would
You won't cover my junk in pickle chips
But I wish you would, I wish you would
You won't dress like a lumberjack
And feed me candlewax
You won't rinse my beard in baboon piss
But I wish you would, I wish you would
And I'll keep asking til you do

You won't bind my thumbs and show me cake
But I wish you would, I wish you would
You won't attach fifty clothespins to my face
But I wish you would, I wish you would
You won't dress like Sailor Moon
And make hats with balloons
You won't skinny dip at crystal lake
But I wish you would, I wish you would
And I'll keep asking til you do

You won't paint my nails in bacon grease
But I wish you would, I wish you would
You won't ride me bare on my hands and knees
But I wish you would, I wish you would
You won't dress like Santa Claus
And sniff my dirty drawers
You won't stuff my pants with basil leaves
But I wish you would, I wish you would
And I'll keep asking til you do

V1
She’s no stranger to finer things
Wealthy family and all that it brings

It keeps her awake, all that’s at stake
the easiest way to make a mistake

Chorus
She’ll never let go of her burden
I wish she could
At least you could share your bourbon with her
I wish you would

V2
You can’t stop her and all of her plans
She’s relentless in all that she can

She doesn’t worry or clean up the mess
the hearts she broke in pursuit of success

Chorus
She’ll never let go of her burden
I wish she could
At least you could share your bourbon with her
I wish you would

V3
Holds a picture of her wedding day
and relations who pushed her away

Wish You Would by Johnny Cashpoint

Vocals, keyboards, rhythm guitar - J$
Drums, bass, lead guitar parts - Andy Balham


This part of our hometown’s gone entirely to the dogs, there’s
Sirens blaring, tempers flaring - grab your hero togs - we
Need a vigiliante who is going to up the ante, Bring these
End days to an end with just one stroke - and you’re that bloke

Wish you would, you know you could, but you’re
Sat there in your Onesie in your Superhero lair … will you
Lounge there on the sofa ‘til all hell has frozen over? Yes, ‘cos
Your excuse is if you could you would but you just can’t.
You’re one massive can’t.

Less than friendly neighbourhood, they’d pull the legs off spiderman as
Soon as give him time of day, these dark nights they require a man who’ll
Put on Kevlar armour to avoid a costume drama, and a
Beltful of well helpful toys to bring down gangster bully boys, but

Fear of looking daft has kept you playing World of Warcraft when you
Should be working out just how you’ll get into that jumpsuit. Why not
Help us? Oh boy, one can only be our only hope when
One has somehow figured out how not to smoke the dope

Know you should, We wish you would, but you’re
Sat there stoned and clumsy, like a painted pierrot ‘til you
Get off your fat fanny, and stop cowering like a granny. Oh,
Your excuse is if you could you would but you just can’t.
You’re one massive can’t.

In this turf-war we’re all losing, you could be a winner
But instead you’re dreaming of your dinner dinner dinner dinner

Wish You Would - Elaine DiMasi

she came to my door with an earnest expression
she said have you considered things are getting pretty bad
and don't you think it means that there's a heaven somewhere

I see by your face that you won't be saved - she didn't say
you keep a nice house looks like you think it's nice - she didn't say
I guess that you and I are wasting your time she didn't say

but I wished she would
leave a mark on me
burn a brand leave a stamp carve your initials
cause I feel so unchanged

if I came to your door with the right expression
let you know that you should lead the way
would you say you didn't mean to hurt me make me angry or do anything wrong

well I wished you would
leave a mark on me
burn a bridge leave me crying carve me a new one
cause you make me feel so unchanged

do I belong on my knees now
saved or suck it up saved or suck it up
and I wish you would
I wish you would

I wish you would
I wish you would

Wish You Would - MC Big C

Shake it up Shake me down now
I'm pumpin up my music cause the radio is whack. Frown.
That's my emoticon
When I hear your song come on
Your stupid fucking lyrics make me cringe
So I'm like gone.
That's it. I'm done. Life's already won.
I'm never gonna make it in this go-go world of rapping son.
"Your shit was pretty funny but do you really think you're gonna get that money?"
Prolly not buddy.
"Then please don't ever blame us
When the critics tell you that you sound like you love dick and anus."

And I know that's what you're thinkin
And if it wasn't than it is
And now you're losing all your patience.
You think I'm pretty lame.
One day my voice will change.
Won't sound like a little boy that looks like he's deranged.
But i don't look childish
I used to look wildish
Till I trimmed the beard and hair and now I'm always styling
Freshenest to death
In my khaki summer shorts and shirt bitch.
Are you ready for this pitch?
I won't stand for it if you offer me meth
Despite the fact that you can smell the booze on my breath.

Don't fake it, Make it, Take it
Morning Afternoon Evening Night
I always come baked bitch
I'm a pizza bagel
(1.You can have me anytime) (2. You can have me on the fly)
You know you wish you would
I'm always coming with fat rhymes. (x2)

MC Big C doesn't mean that I'm a master.
It's just how I spell my last name for you bastards
I'm pretty sure that I'm hot shit see
Just check my powerpoint with bullets x, y, and z.
I think I've brought up a solid argument
And if you don't get it then I'll tell you what I meant
You do not seem to grasp the simplicity of my words.
You just keep treating me like I'm some broke winged bird
But you'll serve me up, too little too late
I'm the nasty maggoty crow you're about to eat off that plate.

I'll make you taste humiliation
But in a couple seconds I'll bring amelioration
Wow, waddya know, whoda thunk it?
That's a big word from a big nerd
Whose lyrics stank like big turds.
And I had a couple puffs from the peace tree
Sipping on some peach tea
Just tryna set my mind free
And all my shit comes in triplets
Literally figurative when i talk about me poop bitch
Cause my shits always funky
It's why I'm passing it to you
So don't tell me that you think I'm smokin on some bunk b.

Don't fake it, Make it, Take it
Morning Afternoon Evening Night
I always come baked bitch
I'm a pizza bagel
(1.You can have me anytime) (2. You can have me on the fly)
You know you wish you would
I'm always coming with fat rhymes. (x2)

wish you would by GUNS


10 o'clock comes around
You've been working late
Came home in your stilettos
Like you've been out on a date
You tell me that we're perfect
No need for jealousy
But that's not my name you're saying
When you talk in your sleep

Tell me the truth
I wish you would
Tell me what went wrong
I wish you would
Love me like you love him
I wish you would


The morning sun comes up
And this bed feels stone cold
Snuck out in the dark again
Baby when you coming home?
You give me those excuses
Say it's all about your career
When I stop by your office
You are never ever there

You're buying sexy lingerie
I never get to see
You text me I love you's
But it's just to keep the peace
I see the way you light up
At the mention of his name
I'm sick of living with your lies
I'm tired of playing games

Wish You Would
Tuners Union

i followed the star
to you it may lead
i wish that you would
from elsewhere proceed

i worked in the fields
callousing hands
i wish that you would
ease your demands

i wish you would
i wish you would

i stayed in the rain
with buckets to fill
i wish that you would
find me on the hill

i gave up the grain
made up a smile
i wish that you would
once in a while

i wish you would
i wish you would

Wish You Would
sonofsupercar

Here's a couple of charms, drawn and quartered, saved the sticky parts and post script. I'm not through with this.
In hindsight with a cold pulse that was just right, recreation fast and cheap, to avoid the heavy lifting.
It was just bread, coulda charted that on your hand. What a year to spill and sweep, that's rent you don't get back.
Where the lakes dry up and the chairs stack, machinery put to sleep, and you learn to aim lower.
That evolution was out front, it was no trial by flame. No connection after all, through chemistry.
Wish you would buy a dog.

Wish You Would - Pigfarmer Jr

(I think this is the right order for the lyric...)

You came knockin' on my door
In the middle of the night
Told me what they done to you
Blamed you for what went wrong
And started another fight
Said you didn't know quite what to do

I wish you would walk away
And tell em that you're gone for good
Tell 'em that you're making time for you
I wish you would come with me
Let me take you outta here
Tell em that you found somebody new
Say you're gonna do what's best for you

I don't really know what to do
Or how we can make it right
But I know I'm in love with you
And when you need me I'll be here
I will always hold you tight
You know there's nothing I won't do

Chorus

And I know you wanna bare the blame
And I know you wanna keep it all inside
And I know you don't wanna hear that name
You're afraid you'll break down and cry
And you wish you were the one who died

I wish you would
I wish you would
Let me take you out of here
I wish you would
I wish you would
Let me wipe away your tears
Let me set your mind at ease
Won't you let me set you free

Styop Quoons

stagnant pools of anger left
just sitting in the mire
will bubble up and suddenly
explode in liquid fire

although this is a work of fiction
still you must take heed
for should it catch you unawares
you'll find it foul indeed

what it's like to be neglected
and misunderstood
though you never think of me
still I wish you would

Paco del Stinko - Wish You Would

Go away, far away
Don't ever come back and make sure that you stay
You drive me crazy, and you make me mad
But you're the best lover that I ever had

Wish You Would

Shut your mouth, send it south
Don't open it again or let the bile out
You boil my egg, and you burn my toast
But you're the only one that makes me give up the ghost

Wish you would

Try as I might - I don't know why
You and I fight - And don't say goodbye
My only guess - Is that it's sex
You must confess - That it's the best, oh yes


Let me go, release your hold
Dont' try to keep your grip and do as you're told
You crash my car, and you sink my ship
But you're the only one that makes me bite the corner of my lip

Wish you would
Bringin' the stink since 2006.

Wish You Would - Brown Word and the Big Whine

You’ll never get it but I wish you would
So much time regretting no time left to make good
Life’s a crazy thing. It passes like a dream.
Creeping as you’re sleeping, spinning always spinning spinning

You never listen but I wish you would
Good advice is worth a mint. Secrets shouldn’t be told.
Lies are sticker burrs. They catch on everything.
Slowly they keep growing, spinning always spinning spinning

Mountains will fall, oceans will rise
The sun will keep burning across the sky
All your catastrophes won’t amount to a
Thimbleful of dust, a thimbleful of dust
The beautiful instant in which we live
Much too short a time to chase empty wishes
Please feel free to fall into the waiting trap
If you think you must, if you think you must

You’ll never hear this but I wish you would
Say it in your head when no one is around
“I pissed it all away, no one is to blame
Maybe I’ll start living,” spinning ever spinning spinning

HEY HEY HEY BAD PONY
HE DOES HIS HAIR IN THE MORNING
BY DOING A QUICK GALLOP
THEN HE STAND AROUND FROWNING
BAD PONY

HE WISH YOU WOULD GO AWAY
(BAD PONY)
HE WISH YOU GO IN THE HOLE
(BAD PONY)
EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T WANT IN THE HOLE
(BAD PONY)
IT'S DARK IN THERE AND SCARY
(BAD PONY)

HE WISH YOU WOULD TURN AROUND
(AND STOP LOOKING)
HE WISH YOU WOULD GIVE A PRESENT
(BUT STILL GO AWAY)
HE WISH YOU WOULD FALL OFF A CLIFF
("HA HA" HE'D SAY)
HE WISH YOU WOULD STAND UPWIND

HEY HEY HEY BAD PONY
FROWN FROWN FROWN BAD PONY
HE'S MEAN AND BAD BAD PONY
HE WISH YOU WOULD DROWN
