Frases de Gilbert O'Sullivan (45 citas)

“Say it is. Say it isn't.
Say it's someone else instead.
Say it's good when you don't like fishing.
You just knock it on the head.
You just knock it on the head.
Say goodbye. Say good morning.
Say good evening and good noon.
Say "Hello, tell me how you're feeling."”

“You may have given me the breaks,
amended all my life's mistakes,
ooh, but wait a minute,
you don't own me.
You may be more than just a friend
on whose assistance I depend
ooh, but wait a minute,
you don't own me.”

Song lyrics

“When the world you live in
really gets you down,
when you feel a pain inside you
starting to pound,
and the girl you love,
she doesn't want to know,
let an old friend, as a godsend,
lead you to where peaceful waters flow”

Song lyrics

“What's in a kiss?
Have you ever wondered just what it is?
More perhaps than just a moment of bliss?
Tell me what's in a kiss.
What's in a dream?
Is it all the things you'd like to have been?
All the places that you haven't yet seen?
Tell me what's in a dream.”

“I never thought I'd see the day
when murder would become so commonplace.
Hardly a minute ever goes by
without a murder taking place. And why?
Well, for a start, the punishment's not hard:
they sentence you to life but you're out in no time.”

“One minute you say you will
and the next you won't,
One minute you want me

Giving me the runaround,

I do,
Don't think that I won't go.
You watch me:
It isn't out of question”

Song lyrics

“Once I was hailed as a prodigal son.
In other words, loved by everyone.
Now it's so different:
wherever I go, nobody wants to know.
Tried having meetings. Running about.
Same as I did when I started out.
Now though, it's different:
wherever I go, nobody wants to know.”

“I have just one regret in life:
that chance I wasted when you said goodbye.
And to be honest, at the time,
though I could see, I must have been blind.
Oh what I'd give to have you back,
relive those moments once again,
I'd take your hand and we would fly,
Just you and me, my love and I.”

“I love it, but it doesn't knock me out.
I think it's great, but it could be better.
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea,
yet if you were to change the melody,
take out a part that you think should be here,
put in a part that wouldn't otherwise appear?
Well, it's only an idea.”

"I hate it, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

“Where to begin?
The pain I am in,
hard to know when to stop.
Out of the blue
a dream came true,
only to see it drop.
I'm no genius where love's concerned,
more fool me to pretend.
Whatever it takes, while my heart aches
I'll never love again.”

“I've been over and I've been under,
I've been through all kinds of hell.
Trouble was not only my middle name,

"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away."”

I've been taken for far more rides
to places I've never been,
stabbed so many times in the back

"Hold on to what you got
and don't let it slip away.
Save it for a rainy day."

put your head upon my shoulder

Happiness is me and you.”

“Sat for hours in front of a screen
Mouse will tell you what you are seeing
When you get home, how to relax
Another screen for you to look at
Welcome to the world of work
It's a kind of living
where you give more than you'll ever receive
Welcome to the world of work
Only place a loyal servant can be
kicked in the teeth”
