2008-07-20T19:46:18Z

This is the 190th challenge. It’s the same as always -- theme, lyric, and image. You can enter up to 2 icons for this challenge.

Theme

The theme for this challenge is Royal. You can use the word, another word or phrase that has a similar meaning some of which can be found [ here ] or even an image that you feel conveys the word. Feel free to interpret this however you want.

Lyrics

If you decide to use the lyrics, you must use at least three consecutive words and make sure the only text used on the icon are from the provided and chosen lyrics.

Every Rose Has Its Thorn by Poison

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside

Was it something I said or something I did
Did my words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy
Sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does

I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say love’s a game
Of easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy
Sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does

Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you
The wound heals
But the scar, the scar remains

I know I could have saved
Our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
But now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy
Sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does

Feeling Good by Nina Simone

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me and I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on the tree
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me and I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun
You know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun
You know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
That's what I mean

And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me and I'm feeling good

Fast As You Can by Fiona Apple

I let the beast in too soon
I don't know how to live
Without my hand on his throat
I fight him always and still

O darling, it's so sweet
You think you know how crazy
How crazy I am

You say you don't spook easy
You won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will

Fast as you can, baby
Run, free yourself of me
Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight,
And I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases
That will disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way
Into your heart from under your skin

Fast as you can, baby
Scratch me out,
Free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Baby scratch me out,
Free yourself
Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time it does
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was

And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because

I let the beast in and then
I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again
And for a little while more
I'll soar the uneven wind,
Complain and blame the sterile land
But if you're getting any bright ideas,
Quiet dear I'm blooming within

Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing run its route

Fast as you can, fast as you can
Fast as you can, fast as you can

‘Til Kingdom Come by Coldplay

Still my heart and hold my tongue
I feel my time, my time has come
Let me in, unlock the door
I've never felt this way before

The wheels just keep on turning
The drummer begins to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know which way I've come

Hold my hand inside your hands
I need someone who understands
I need someone, someone who hears
For you, I've waited all these years

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my day, my day is done
And say you'll come, and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

In your tears and in your blood
In your fire and in your flood
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."

The wheels just keep on turning
The drummers begin to drum
I don't know which way I'm going
I don't know what I've become.

For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come
Until my days, my days are done
Just say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me
Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me

Viva la Vida by Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn’t believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

(Ooooh Oooh Oooh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
