Less Than Jake

The Ghosts of Me and You

ive been down
wandering past 2nd street and
looking at the ghosts
of you and me thinking back
on all those memories
of how we use to be

ive been hearing
i heard those voices over the noises
of the breaking glass
and all those plans we had
to get us through,
theyre never coming true

i hope and hope
that you wont forget
im hoping
hope you know that

i can clearly see
the ghosts of you and me
and im a moved on memory

and your still alive
and im still getting by
on those dead end streets
the ghosts of you and me

im still talking, talking of what weel do
to the ghosts of me and you
and in still looking back into the past
when we were all we had

i hope and hope
that you wont forget
im hoping
hope you know that

i hope you wont forget
i hope you know that ill always regret
those things i said
i hope you know that i can clearly see

and your still alive
and im still getting by
on those dead end streets
the ghosts of you and me.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Savage Garden - Two Beds and a Coffee Machine

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it

Another ditch in the road
Keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it

I'll think of this song when I turn 18 in a few months.

[Lady Tinuveil]

To Jonathan:
"I miss you...": )

[Lady Tinuveil]

Dark, for fear of failure;
An inner gloom as wide as an ion fermenting;
Roiling hate;
Death grip in my veins;
Flowering forth foul nectar;
Space between a blink & a tear;
Death Blooms...

my current favourite song "intuition" the title is a little weird but the song is one of her best.. the videoclip isn not what i expected:eek:

Jewel - Intuition
La la la la
La di da da
La di da da
La da


I'm just a simple girl
In a high tech digital world
I really try to understand
All the powers that rule this land
They say Miss J's big butt is boss
Kate Moss can't find a job
In a world of post modern fad
What was good now is bad


It's not hard to understand
Just follow this simple plan


Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart baby


You look at me
but you're not quite sure
Am I it or could you get more
You learn cool from magazines
You learn love from Charlie Sheen


If you want me let me know
I promise I won't say no


Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart baby


You got something that you wantin' me to sell
Sell your sin
Just cash in
You got something that you wantin' me to tell
You'll love me
Wait and see


If you want me
Don't play games
I promise
It won't be in vain
Uh, uh, uh


Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart baby


Just follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
Makes it easy to find
Just follow your heart baby


Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS

Kick the sheets off
get out of bed
Good morning
de ja vu
Is this the best thing
in my head
Good morning
now what to do
Look at my day
What's the first appointment
Lunch in heaven
What a disappointment

CHORUS

I could run away
with Captain Courageous
I could live on fruit
in Montego Bay
I could run a bar
in a war torn front line
I could do it all
But just not today

Good morning T.V
what's been said
Around the world
whilst I'm in bed
Nothing changes
Cos we're still being fed
On little white lies
And stale white bread

Look at my day
What's my next appointment
Dinner in hell
What a disappointment

I live for you
and you live for me
For four hours
every day
Another social misery
for hours and hours
(every day ....)
I could free my mind
Become a rich mans guru
I could take the time
To feed the world
Could drink all day
Until I find
All the answers
I could do it all
But just not today .....

[Hasty Ent]

an all time favorite song -- if it comes on the car radio when I'm driving I can't help but humiliate myself by singing along at the top of my lungs :o


Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
(Steve Winwood/Jim Capaldi)

If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
We were children once playing with toys

And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys, high-heeled boys

If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance
Or something similar as this
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys

And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys, high-heeled boys

If I gave you everything that I owned
And asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you
Or take me for a ride
And strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys

And the sound that disturbs you is only the sound
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys

The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
Was the low spark of high-heeled boys, high-heeled boys

Butterfly
i won't hurt you
i'll protect you
i won't let the rain fall down
i'll always be around

and baby i will understand if sometimes
you just want to spread your wings and fly
and let your colours shine

and everyday i wanna be a risk you take
make a promise that will never break for life

you're my butterfly
don't fly away open my hands your free
praying you'll come back to me
you're my butterfly
don't fly away
you're my reality
always be my gravity
you're my butterfly
come on and touch the sky
you're my butterfly

i won't forget you
or neglect you
won't let no-one take your place
in your eyes i see my face

and baby do you know that everybody watches
every time that you take flight
they're blinded by your light

every day the feeling's gonna be the same
i can promise that will never change for life

Pollution Pirates - Nina Hagen

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas

One day we will glow,
And one day we will flow
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Let yourself go

One day we may fly,
And the next day we may die
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Give it a try

One day we are fine,
The next day we may decline
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to shine

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

One day you feel great and
The next day you lose your mate
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Have some faith!

One day you feel so free and
The next day you drive into a tree!
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Learn to see

One day they give you a pill and
The next day you feel really ill!
In the meantime baby
What you got to do is
Use your own will!

Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Pollution Pirates are sailing the 7 seas (we are the Rainbow Warriors)
Long John Silver is dumping his chemical waste
The sea is turning gray with a slick once more
All the animals are lying dead on the shore

How many times must these words be said
How many times until it gets inside of your head
Yello, black, brown or white
Man, woman or child
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name
Times keep on changing
But peace still has no name...

[Adrian Baggins]

Bring Me To Life
by Evenesence(sp)W/Paul Macoy(I think that's what it said on Fuse formerly known as MMUSA)

How can you see into my eyes,
like open doors?
Leading you down into my core,
where I've become so numb
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me breathe
breathe
me
tonight

The tender soul,
my sprit sleeping somewhere cold,
untill you find it there and
lead it back
home
wake me up
wake me up inside
Can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me form the dark
Wake me up
bid my blood to run
Can't wake up
Before I come un done
Save me
Save me form the nothing I've become
need-------to----------learn-------
I've bin living a lie,
there's nothing inside
need--------to---------learn--------
Now that I know what I'm with out
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me breathe
breathe
me
tonight
wake me up
wake me up inside
Can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me form the dark
Wake me up
bid my blood to run
Can't wake up
Before I come undone
Save me
Save me form the nothing I've become
Frozen
frozen in time
without your touch, without your love darling
only you hold the light amonge the
dead--------------------------------------------------
All this time
I couldn't belive I didn't see
kept in the dark,
but you were there in fount of me
I've bin sleeping for a thousand years it seems
forgot to open my eyes to every thing
without a thought
without a voice
without a soul
Bring me to life---------------------
wake me up
wake me up inside
Can't wake up
Wake me up inside
Save me
Call my name and save me form the dark
Wake me up
Bid my blood to run
Can't wake up
Before I come un done
Save me
Save me form the nothing I've become
need-------to----------learn-------
I've bin living a lie,
there's nothing inside
need--------to---------learn--------'

I think, I'm getting the Lyrics from a fan fic I read a HP fan fic with Draco/Hermi in love. Oh well, I can blame Bratty_Anthy if this is wrong.

That's a really good song.

DEAD IN THE WATER by Even All Out (http://www.evenallout.com)

The clock it ticks and it won't stop
It keeps running life as we know it
The deadlines, appointments, disappointments
That we try and avoid by always being on time
So get all your priorities straight
Cause time may heal wounds, but time won't wait
while you relax and just enjoy your leisure


(Chorus)
We're dead in the water,
Trapped in a cage but it's alright
Cause traffic keeps moving,
So pave your own way and live your life


The mind it races and it changes
But it also makes us who we are
The heartbreak, the best times, and the bullsh*t
Are all what we need to make the best of our time
So just live life at your own pace
Give yourself time, give yourself space
To relax and just enjoy your leisure


(Chorus)


So just keep on moving on
but that doesn't mean run away
We've all got our battle scars
Here are mine
Show me yours I'll help you realize


(Chorus)



SIMPLE by Even All Out (http://www.evenallout.com)


Out of the dark I step
With my life in my hands but can't hold on tight enough
While trying to understand
How to figure things out where I'll be in the end
So i'll just step back
To see what I'm lacking
Caught in my mind
I s the thought of how different things can seem


(Chorus)
It's not simple cause
We'll look back on these day's yet they'll be gone
And if I seem too stuck on today
It's just for now


Just wait, cause time goes by
And I'll be caught in this and forget almost everything
Cause my senses seem dulled
Have i seen too much?
And i wish I was pulled
Into ignorance


Cause into the dark i step
with my life out of reach couldn't hold on tight
But I've still got time
at least I think but it's not a garentee


(Chorus)


Just another life, like mine passes by
Never stop to think, never realize
Just how weak we are
Yet if pushed too far
We can get swept away
I thought it was easy but....


(Chorus)
It's not simple cause
We'll look back on these day's yet they'll be gone

[Baby-K]

Both Sides, Now - Joni Mitchell

Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons everywhere,
I've looked at clouds that way.
But now they only block the sun,
They rain and snow on everyone.
So many things I would have done,
But clouds got in my way.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down and still somehow
It's clouds' illusions I recall;
I really don't know clouds at all.

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels,
The dizzy dancing way you feel,
When every fairy tale comes real,
I've looked at love that way.
But now it's just another show,
You leave 'em laughing when you go.
And if you care, don't let them know,
Don't give yourself away.

I've looked at love from both sides now,
From give and take and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall;
I really don't know love at all.

Tears and fears and feeling proud,
To say "I love you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds,
I've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
They shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Well something's lost but something's gained,
In living every day.

I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall;
I really don't know life at all.

My pleasure - I was listening to it on Sunday & couldn't get it outa my head, so I figured I'd share. I didn't know there were others here who enjoyed Joni :)

THE BOY IN THE PICTURE - SEAHORSES

I asked the boy in the picture what could he see?
He said it's been twenty long years
but you still look like me

(Chorus)
If you find somebody that you need
Go ahead and tell her show her what you mean
And soon you'll find love is blind and free
If you see Sally or Smokey say hello for me
Tell them I hope they're happy
Working the beach, just out of reach, but free

I asked the boy in the picture
how's your brother been?
He said he's doing just fine now but
he's still a little too thin

And then the boy in the picture he asked me
Got any tips where do I go wrong and,
Who am I going to be?

[Coney]

Sally Simpson-The Who

Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
that Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
and she ran inside weeping.
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture
of the new Messiah.
She picked up a book of her fathers life
and threw it on the fire!

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

The theme of the sermon was come unto me,
Love will find a way,
So Sally decided to ignore her dad,
and sneak out anyway!
She spent all afternoon getting ready,
and decided she'd try to touch him,
Maybe he'd see that she was free
and talk to her this Sunday.

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

She arrived at six and the place was swinging
to gospel music by nine.
Group after group appeared on the stage
and Sally just sat there crying.
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture
right in the very front row
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
ran on and said 'here we go!'

The crowd went crazy
As Tommy hit the stage!
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
The crowd back in a rage!

But soon the atmosphere was cooler
as Tommy gave a lesson.
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
and leapt up on the rostrum!
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
and touched him on the face
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man,
threw her of the stage.

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down,
mingling with her tears,
Tommy carried on preaching
and his voice filled Sally's ear
She caught his eye she had to try
but couldn't see through the lights
Her face was gashed and the ambulance men
had to carry her out that night.

The crowd went crazy
As Tommy left the stage!
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
And a gash across her face! OOoooh.

Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said
'don't say I didn't warn yer'.
Sally got married to a rock musician
she met in California
Tommy always talks about the day
the disciples all went wild!
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
to remind her of his smile.

She knew from the start
Deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
But her Mother said never mind your part...
Is to be what you'll be.

America - Simon & Garfunkel

"Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together"
"I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner pies
And we walked off to look for America

"Kathy" I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now"
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've come to look for America

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said "Be careful, his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field

"Kathy, I'm lost" I said, though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

[Hasty Ent]

I get chills whenever I hear this song -- anyone remember Dylan (and many friends) singing this in Scorsese's movie The Last Waltz?


I Shall Be Released by Bob Dylan

They say ev'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection,
They say ev'ry man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

More local band songs!!

I Can't - Pete Kilpatrick (http://www.petekilpatrick.com)

As I walk into an empty room
I felt myself fall apart
What can I do
I've fallen behind this time
And it's not for you

And you say don't say anything to me
And I turn it's not my turn

Here comes the wind to blow me down
I'm always screaming but can't make a sound
I'm falling faster into you and I can't find my way

I cannot stand much longer
Cause I'm falling down
Thought I'd be much stronger
With you not around
Inside my head my eyes seem fixed on you
What am I supposed to do

Here comes the wind to blow me down
I'm always screaming but can't make a sound
I'm falling faster into you and I can't find my way

Why don't you go on without me
Cause I can't walk no more


Midflight - Pete Kilpatrick (http://www.petekilpatrick.com)

As the man in the sand says
Why does this feel so right
Like the girl with the smile said
Why is the sky so bright
As we drop down in from the clouds
I'm coming home tonight Midflight

You can't let go, Just thought I'd let you know
If you need to fly, Don't let them stand in your way

As the man in the sand says
Why is the ground so white
Like the girl with the sun said
Why can't I sleep tonight
As we drop down in from the clouds
I'm coming home tonight Midflight

You can't let go, Just thought I'd let you know
If you need to fly, Don't let them stand in your way


Through The Glass - Even All Out (http://www.evenallout.com)

As we fall we see our methods lack.
We can't communicate
As we watch through the glass.
There's nothing wrong
When nine out of ten really can't complain.
But wouldn't they hate to be the one?
To find an easy way out of here
It's proving just as bad.


(Chorus)
To find out all the things we still don't know.
We're left out, yeah we really should've known.
We're cold and wounded in the rain,
And I'm wondering why I came.
Because I'm leaving again.


We cannot find we lose our faith,
Yet still, we go on anyway.
But can't walk through the glass.
There's something wrong.
Now we can't pretend that maybe it can wait.
Never thought I'd be the one.
T o find an easy way out of here
It's proven just as bad


(Chorus)


Take back all that you can see.
Don't share all your views with me.


(Chorus)
Yeah, I'm leaving again



All awesome songs!

White Stipes I Can Tell (We're Gonna be Friends)

Fall is here, hear the yell
back to school, ring the bell
brand new shoes, walking blues
climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

Well here we are, no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
nouns, and books, and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class, through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphbet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

[Draken]

Bitter Suite III): Blue Angel by Marillion

The sky was Bible black in Lyon
When I met the Magdalene
She was paralysed in a streetlight
She refused to give her name

And a ring of violet bruises
They were pinned upon her arm.
Two hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the hand
To a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears
And from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my ear
"'J'entend ton coeur"
I can hear your heart



(bloody hell 200 francs at 80s prices...I hope she was good!)

[Giroth]

here's a cool song from a cool band;

artist:Switchfoot

Song title:Meant to Live

Meant to Live

Fumbling his confidence
And wond’ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s meant for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live

Do any of you have the lricks for 'May it be' by Enya? I REALLY need it.

[Giroth]

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home

Mornië utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornië utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now


Here you go!:D

[Silme*Christian]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!:D A thousand thank yous to you!

So good to see you-
Ive missed you so much-
So glad Its over...

Came out to watch you play- why are you running away
Came out to watch you play- why are you runnin'

Prying open my third eye
Prying open my third eye....

Its good to see you once again
I thought you were hiding from me
& you thought I had run away
Chasing a trail of smoke & reason

[Lady Tinuveil]

Today young men on acid realized that all matter is merely energy
condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one conciousness experincing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, & were the imagination of ourselves...

Golden Years by David Bowie
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up my baby

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh lord
I believe all the way
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows, run for the shadows in these golden years

There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby

Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years

I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years, gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop

Yes, yes I. Rex.
It is from tool's 'aenima', the last track. It is spoken before the song of course, but it still sounds cool with the wind blowing in the back ground until the guitar starts to strum...
Check it out.

Die Eier Von Satan is track 10 from the same album. It is all spoken in German, the title means 'the balls of satan';
It is a recepie.

"Learning To Fly"

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[Lady Tinuveil]

I AM THE GREAT BIG MOUTH

Good Riddance
Though Im sad to say- I didnt get to kill you
Rhetoric- Better look both ways
I gotta get an arm through

STAIN

What the f*** is up?
Get the f*** away- Run if you want to
Innocent? Your a guilty concience
Laugh last- Break through

STAIN

I dont give a s***, Bitch
I dont give a f***, Bitch
I dont understand Bitch-
You dont matter
I dont give a f***, Man
I dont give a s***, Man
I dont really care, Man...

Summertime

Most famously performed by Ella Fitzgerald and Janis Joplin

Music by George Gershwin
with lyrics by Ira Gershwin and Du Bose Heyward, 1933

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry . . .

One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .

But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .

7. Shadow Duet

[lyrics: Sundin]

Voice of the Shadow of Beauty - Friden
Voice of the Shadow of Darkness - Sundin

Shadows play - in my wilderness'
mindscape they seek;
One spiteful and wicked,
one humble and meek
A windswept pale landscape
of edified thought
Two frictional forces
a triad have brought

Woven within me, the aerial mist sink falling,
slowly traversing the atmosphere calling

A soft breeze whispers slowly
in the valley in my mind
And its breath, both foul and holy
is like the deer to a dying hind;

Wordless - yet in soul so true
Nameless - yet it lives in you
Shapeless - like the purity of pain
Lawful - when all fear is slain

One shadow of beauty, caressing the flowers
The paleness of winter reflects in her eyes

Deity of stardom, Enticer of stardoom
maternal - eternal, blinded by visions
Serenity fades with the darkening of skies
of sunlight nocturnal

One shadow of Darkness, a shade of deep hate
A wanderer's spectre with fury ablaze
In sheets of sharp silver laid youthful to die
reborn into vengeance, dark flames dance in grace

Dark flames dance in grace
the grace of Storms

One shadow of beauty,
One shadow of darkness,
Sailing free on the seas within my mind

Surging dark oceans - perpetual waters
Creator of life and reclaimer of souls

Mother Ocean!

Watching the deep fjords uneasily moving
Whipping the white waves towards the cold air
Rising like swans in a sacred, sudden motion
A cascade of lost feathers adrift on the sea

Hark!
A serenade in the tongue of the wind...

The sight of Centuries, so sonorous in the bower,
hovering further athwart a leafy cower
A shelter for those whose time's wind make them wither
And therefore they chose to guide this time-wind hither

Alas, in tune with the tide of time
I was,
but I'm not,
nor I'll be with its pride

Yes, aeons have flown
but more is to come
For I know time;
a friend I greet with open arms
- a brotherhood of deadly harm
...and joy

But time is not eternal, their life-stars not immortal
Setting souls can never pass through the pearly portal
No bliss be given...nor joy

Flowing down the gates of Hell
- FIRE!

I cry for you...

Don't spill your tears for me
but for your kit and kin;

My scions of light?

Depraved of the lust and the treasure of pleasure
which is fuel of life and glory

Silent your dark desires within entirety's light

Solitude...Sanctity...Sanctuary...Sanctum
...Tranquillity

Hear me,
You who hold the fate of stars in hand,
before Creation's eye I stand,
my soul set free in Summerland!

Mighty the strands of the universe
A chaosvoid's tomb of dead worlds
Hark! What?
Divinity flows in your heart,
cat it alight - the seed of all art

Slowly reborn from a sunless state of mind
Silent, your fool!
Thine words are untrue
- remember Endymion's crestfallen tears
Serene art the gods, yet pain is their way
He touched by the heavens, his hellfire nears

Free now your heavenly body of air!

Come bathe in the rays of the all-seeing one,
holding the fate of all life in both hands;
Breathing new life-force like goldmade from sand

My winged steed of moonlight,
black stallion of Thunder
We rode above the greenish Earth
and tore the green asunder
But what you left bleeding
Destroyed a soulforsaken world
And your deeds of sharp silver
Decoyed a mindforsaken herd

A duet of shadows, a duet of thoughts;
Of beings we feed with the dust of our thoughts
Residing within us, the twofold wheel of life
Of insight created: a triad of Jewels

(A thin leaf of the life-tree's truth)

5. To Bid You Farewell

I am awaiting the sunrise
Gazing modestly through the coldest morning
Once it came you lied
Embracing us over autumn's proud treetops

I stand motionless
In a parade of falling rain
You voice I cannot hear
As I am falling again

Devotion eludes
And in sadness I lumber
In my own ashes I am standing without a soul
She wept and whispered: "I know..."

We walked into the night
Am I to bid you farewell?

Why can't you see that I try
When every tear is shed
Is for you?

song: Emotion Sickness


Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow

Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
when everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
[All my friends say]
Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

E-motion sickness

Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt

E-motion sickness

Wonderful - Everclear

"Hey, ain't life wonderful? Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful... Isn't it wonderful now?"

I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them

I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again

Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry

Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world's so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now

Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now

I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home

Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday

Promises mean everything when you're little
And the world is so big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now

No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same
Just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now...

I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now

Hey, I ain't never coming home
Hey, I'll just wander my own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow

Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake me round now
I get so lost and don't know how, yeah
And it hurts to care, I'm going down

Forgot my woman, lost my friends
Things I'd done and where I've been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold
See my face it's growin' old
Scared to death no reason why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I said
Read the page it's cold and dead

Take me home (5x)

Say goodbye Don't follow

Cradle of Filth - Black Metal


Black is the night, metal we fight
Power amps set to explode.
Energy screams, magic and dreams
Satan records the first note.
We chime the bell, chaos and hell
Metal for maniacs pure.
Faster than steel, fortune on wheels
Brain haemorrhage is the cure.

For BLACK METAL
lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll

Freaking so wild, nobodys mild
Giving it all that you got.
Wild is so right, metal tonight
Faster than over the top.
Open the door, enter hell's core
Black is the code for tonight.
Atomic force, feel no remorse
Crank up the amps now its night

BLACK METAL

lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll
metal ten fold through the deadly black hole
riding hell's stallions bareback and free
taking our chances with raw energy

Come ride the night with us
Rock hard and fight
United my legions we stand
Freak hard and wild for us
Give up your soul
Live for the quest satan's band

Against the odds, black metal gods
Fight to achieve our goal
Casting a spell, leather and hell
Black metal gods rock 'n roll
Building up steam, nuclear screams
War-heads are ready to fight
Black leather hounds, faster than sound
Metal our purpose in life

BLACK METAL

lay down your souls to the gods rock 'n roll

BLACK METAL

how bout sum Blind Guardian lyrics?


Nightfall

No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"

"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"

Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown"
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
And spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain

chorus:
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony

"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
But even in silence I heard the words
"An oath we shall swear
By the name of the one
Until the world's end
It can't be broken"

Just wondering how
I can still hear these voices inside

The doom of the Noldor drew near

The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge

chorus

"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"

"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell
He said

chorus

Back to where it all began

Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns)

Noldor
Blood is on your hands
Your bane's
A tearful destiny

Black clouds will carry
Rain of blood
I've seen it rain

We were lost
On grinding ice
In fear and hunger
Dead winter reigned
In Araman

prebridge:
(You) can't escape
From my damnation
(Nor) run away
From isolation

bridge:
Guilty spoke the one
THis deed can't be undone
Hear my words
Fear my curse

chorus:
I know where the stars glow
(And the) sky's unclouded
Sweet the water runs my friend
(But) Noldor
Blood is on your hands
Tears unnumbered
You will shet and dwell in pain

Your homeless souls
Shall come to me
There's no release
Slain you might be
Slain you will be
Slain you will be
And the lost
Who will not reach the
House of spirits
(Will) grow old and weary

prebridge

bridge

chorus

I've seen this bitter end
As I've foreseen
The storm and ice
And I could see it
(How) a million died
And I?
The blame's on me
Cause I was not there

prebridge

bridge

chorus

Dead winter reigns
And tomorrow's still unknown
Lies
Condemned and betrayed
Now everything is said
See my eyes
Are full of tears
And a cruel price
We've paid
But still I can't claim
That I'm innocent

Lost

[Snowdog]

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[Hasty Ent]

Thanks, Snowdog, I can't get enough Bob Dylan!:D

Here's one that's not so old, but it still resonates for me. Lyrics by Nick Lowe (I believe the man's a genius), and my favorite recording is the one he produced for Elvis Costello and the Attractions on the positively brilliant album Armed Forces. And, yes, I have it on vinyl and it still sounds GREAT.


(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?


So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

[Lizra]

Yea! I have all the Stiff Records artists, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Dave Edmonds, Wreckless Eric, Ian Drury and the Blockheads...who else? Nick Lowe is hilarious, great pop. I do like Costello's version of this song better than Lowes...his band plays it faster, and a little edgier. Finally, some lyrics in this thread that I don't find overly H..E.. A..V..Y..! :p ;)

Absolutely! Remember Reasons to Be Cheerful (Part 3)? and long live ROCKPILE!

As for Costello's version of What's So Funny..., Lowe produced the album (Armed Forces)...this could be why it's so good!:D

[Lizra]

Rockpile was so great! :) ...I go into some kind of "bliss state" whenever I hear that chuka chuka rhythm guitar beat that is Edmond's signature. I've been playing a Fabulous Thunderbirds tape in my car this week, that is produced by Edmonds...Chuka chuka! :D Sorry to go OT...back to "the Heavy"! :p

[azalea]

I love this song, which is on the soundtrack to O, Brother, Where Art Thou?

I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)

Kiss me, Mother,
Kiss your darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast,
Throw your loving arms around me,
I am weary, let me rest.

Seems the light is swiftly fading,
Brighter seems they soon will show (?)
I am standing by the River,
Angels wait to take me Home.

Kiss me, Mother,
Kiss your darlin'
See the pain upon my brow,
I will soon be with the angels,
Fate has doomed my future now.

Through the years you've always loved me
And my life you've tried to save,
But now I shall slumber sweetly
In a deep and lonely grave.

Kiss me, Mother,
Kiss your darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast,
Throw your loving arms around me,
I am weary, let me rest.
I am weary, let me rest.

[Sheeana]

Oh.. They (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) also did a good cover of Man of Constant Sorrow.

I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my days
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
Where I was born and partly raised.

Your mother says I'm a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there's one promise, darling:
I'll see you on God's golden shore.

Through this open world I'm about to trouble
Through ice and snows, sleet and rain
I'm about to ride that morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die on that train.

I'm going back to Colorado
The place that I started from
If I had known how bad you'd treat me honey
I never would have come.

The Eldar

I'll leave it to the memories
and kiss the wind good bye

For the Eldar
I'm treapped inside this dream

Song of doom

I've tasted poison
When I drank the wine of fate
much fear is in my heart
I realised to late
house of spirits call

For the Eldar
I'm treapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's
Song of doom

High's the fee
Soon my spirit will return
Wellcome dawn
Youre light will take me home

I say farewell

To the Eldar
I'm treapped inside this dream
Of the Eldar's
Song of doom

[Lady Tinuveil]

I wish: I want to stay here
I wish: this be enough
I wish: I only love you
I wish: simplicity
Look at the speed out there
It magnatizes me to it
And now I have no Fear
I am only into this to...
Enjoy
Enjoy.
I wish Id only look
And didnt have to touch
I wish Id only smell this
And didnt have to taste
How can I ignore...
This is sex without touching
I am going to explore
I am only into this to:
Enjoy
Enjoy.

what classy lyrics:rolleyes: i dont mind swearing in songs (cant think of many good MM songs without it) but making a song like that, in the hope of being 'bad' and 'cool' is pathetic... who would buy music like that:confused:
on that note ill put some class back into this thread with a little
KING KILL 33
Is this what you wanted?
This is what you get.
Turned all your lives
into this ****.
You never accepted
or treated me fair
blame me for what I believe
and I wear.
You ****ed yourselves and you
raised these sheep
the blue and the withered seeds
you will reap.
You never gave me a chance to be me
or even a ****ing chance just to be.
But I will show you
that you played a role
and I will destroy you
with one simple hole.
The world that hates me has taken its toll
but now I have finally taken control.
You wanted so bad to make me this thing
and I want you now to just kill the king...
• • and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry • this is what you deserve • and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry • this is what you deserve • • King Kill 33 • King Kill 33 • • •

Band: Nevermore
song: Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday

Inside black decision concealing what no one knows but I
To regain the vision that my freewill once cast aside
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
The sweet downhill sadness of our slow decay

Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
And I see the fault of the steps that I mislaid

Tonight the north wind spoke to the trees
And said, "Open your eyes"
Deep silver glimmer slither, drip down
And emoition dies, emotion dies

Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
And I see the fault in a chance that never was taken

Tomorrow turned, tomorrow's gone
But did we learn, where we went oh so wrong

Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday
Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday

Tomorrow turned, tomorrow's gone
But did we learn, where we went oh so wrong
Oh so wrong

[Ragnarok]

band: Nevermore
song: Insignificant

Ours is not to question the reasons why
Crippled indecision repeats the path I once denied
Insignificant, am I ?
The color of sundown,of crimson sky
The beauty that breaks down
And gives the day unto the night

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never knows the reason why

scan my horizon as blue turns to black
the sky is gone again
and all beneath are born to die
insignificant,am I ?

And then one day you'll realize
Just a speck in the spectrum
Insignificant,am I ?
And then one day you'll realize
The beauty that breaks down
never learns the reason why

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner
by Warren Zevon


Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray

Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
Fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

Roland the Thompson gunner...

His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest
But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best
So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead
That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head

Roland the headless Thompson gunner (Time, time, time
For another peaceful war
Norway's bravest son But time stands still for Roland
'Til he evens up the score)
They can still see his headless body stalking through the night
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun
In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun

Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in
He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg

Roland the headless Thompson gunner...

The eternal Thompson gunner, still wandering through the night
Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight
In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley
Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun
And bought it

[DraztiK]

Dragonland - World's End

[Music: Magnusson, Lyrics: Heidgert, Magnusson]

"At last after endless searching i have found him the dark prince!
I fought my way up the highest mountain, and found him laughing on
his throne made of the rotting carcasses of my people.
To kill him, their leader is to defeat them all, i must win! This is my only
chance,
To save all i have ever lived for!
FEAR...i must stay strong, it's been hard and i lost most of my loved ones.
This is for them, this is for Dragonland!!!
DIE, evil twisted creature...DIE!!!"

Eye to eye, with our destinies
Sword to sword, Will set one free
Light to darkness, The future will be set
Darkness to light, This will be the end

For hours we fought
Wounded and tired with no end in sight
The storm draws near
Upon the highest mountain we stand

Steel against steel as we strike yet again
Face to face we will fight to the death
Then a mortal blow brings me to my knees
All hope's gone, Dragonland is doomed

As i'm bleeding
My life is draining away
In a world now embraced by darkness
Evil's beginning to rise

Soon the world will come to an end and all good will die
Though the clan of dragons will survive
someday in the future might a hero arise
But can they hold on for so long?

[Solo]

Withered forests the homes of elves decayed
Crumbled mountains the dwarves will be no more
Shattered cities the humans slowly die
Pungent wastelands the dark ones marching on

Nothing is spared
All in their path will be destroyed
Their reign of terror
Has barely begun

Now the hordes of night begins their feast of victory
Burning down and slaying everything
Dark clouds cover the whole sky and black rain starts to fall
And will do for ages come to pass

Hundred years have passed now it is time to strike back
Time to raise our swords and shields again
But who will lead us, the armies of light this time?
In the den of dragons hope is born...

Sum 41 - Over My Head Better Off Dead lyrics

What happened to you?
You've played the victim for so long now in this game.
What I thought was true
is made of fiction and I'm following the same.
But if I try to make sense of this mess I'm in
I'm not sure where I should begin.
I'm falling, I'm falling.
Now I'm in
over my head, with something I said.
Completely misread I'm better off dead.
And now I can see, how fake you can be
This hypocracy's beginning to get to me.
It's none of my concern.
Don't look to me because I don't believe in fame.
I guess you never heard.
I've met our makers they don't even know your name.
If I had to say goodbye to leave this hell
I'd say my time has served me well.
I'm falling, I'm falling.
Now I'm in over my head, with something I said.
Completely misread I'm better off dead.
And now I can see, how fake you can be
This hypocracy's beginning to get to...
This came long before, those who suffer more
I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare.
What's with my disgrace
I lost the human race
no one plans for it to blow up in their face.
Who said was easy to put back all these pieces.
Who said was easy to put back all these pieces.
Now I'm in over my head, with something I said.
Completely misread I'm better off dead.
And now I can see, how fake you can be
This hypocracy's beginning to get to me.
Over my head, better off dead.
Over my head, better off dead

Artist: The White Stripes
Song: "Seven Nation Army"


I'm gonna fight 'em off
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And I'm talkin' to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

And the message comin' from my eyes says leave it alone...

Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it comin' back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do

And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home...

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more

And the stains comin' from my blood tell me "Go back home"...

[Snowdog]

My Lover's Gone

My lover's gone,
His boots no longer by my door,
He left at dawn,
And as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more,
I will not watch the ocean,
My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again.

My lover's gone,
I know that kiss will be my last,
No more his song,
The tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone,
While I watch the ocean,
My lover's gone,
No earthly ships will ever bring him home again,
Bring him home again

[Lady Tinuveil]

I'm a fountain of blood
In the shape of a girl
Youre the bird on the brim
Hipnotized by the whirl

-Drink me, Make me feel real
-Wet your beak in the stream
-The game were playing is called life
-Loves a two way dream

Im a path of cinders
Burning under your feet
Your the one who walks me,
Im your one way street

-Im a whisper in the water
-Secret for you to hear
-Your the one who grows distant
-When I beckon you near

Leave me now,
Return Tonight...

Radiohead is amazing.. I like OK Computer, The Bends and Kid A the best.

[Hanza]

Blue yonder dreams
And second hand shoes
You're so far gone,
That you're left to lose.
It's too late to go home
All alone.
Your the tar in that old cigar
And the worn out cable
On a cable car - and,
You're too tired to admit
You've gotta choose.

-A song to sing

Barathrum - Last Day In Heaven

One hundred of satan's angels, somehow they lost to the heaven
And what a helluva party, they had over there
Two hundred skin winged demons, they made an invasion to the gates
Gates left golden dust behind them, after they were rumbling down
And sixty devilish creatures, attacked against the walls
And those walls of the heaven, were crushed by their force
Fifty dark minded beasts, with their wings of steel
They made a raid to the temple, and it's tower of the gold

Another fifty steel winged ones, they landed on the yard
On the yard of that temple, they massacred angels of God
One hundred warriors of Lucifer, they brought the fire with them
And they made storm of fire, that blew over paradise
And behold, one hundred and six, monsters from the inferno
They brought the nuclear destruction, that devastated The Holy Realm
The legions of the hell, attacked to the heaven
There were no survivors, after this invasion from the hell

Dreams turned to nightmares
Heaven changed to hell
Light turned to dark
White changed to black
Good turned to evil
Green changed to red
Colours of the heaven
Changed to negative

Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!
Last day in heaven...!

NO MAN'S LAND
(Eric Bogle)

Well, how do you do, Private William McBride,
Do you mind if I sit down here by your graveside?
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun,
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.
And I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916,
Well, I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean
Or, Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?

Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles sound The Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined?
And, though you died back in 1916,
To that loyal heart are you always 19?
Or are you a stranger without even a name,
Forever enshrined behind some glass pane,
In an old photograph, torn, tattered and stained,
And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame?

Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles sound The Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

The sun's shining down on these green fields of France;
The warm wind blows gently, and the red poppies dance.
The trenches have vanished long under the plough;
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
But here in this graveyard that's still No Man's Land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man.
And a whole generation who were butchered and damned.

Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles sound The Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

And I can't help but wonder, now Willie McBride,
Do all those who lie here know why they died?
Did you really believe them when they told you "The Cause?"
Did you really believe that this war would end wars?
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing, the dying, it was all done in vain,
For Willie McBride, it all happened again,
And again, and again, and again, and again

Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fire o'er you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles sound The Last Post in chorus?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?

Sister Golden Hair (http://kingbiscuit.com/america/song/song056.htm)
Written by Gerry Beckley.

Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed
That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed
I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times
When a woman sure can be a friend of mine

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise
And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes?
Now I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind

Will you meet me in the middle, will you meet me in the air?
Will you love me just a little, just enough to show you care?
Well I tried to fake it, I don't mind sayin', I just can't make it

Doo wop doo wop ...

Appreciate your concern
You’ll always stink and burn

Conquest Of The Planet Of The Apes
by They Might Be Giants

Conquest, it's a type of quest
They called it a conquest of the Planet of the Apes
Conquest, they played it at request
It was another type of quest
For the Planet of the Apes
Conquest!
Request!
We're gonna have an inquest
but this is a type of quest
For the planet of the Apes
Yeah!

[Lady Tinuveil]

Metaphor
For a missing moment
Pull me in
To your Perfect circle...
One womb
One shape
One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all...
Gotta cut away, clear away,
Ship away & sever this
Umbilical residue that's
Keeping me from killing you...

And from pulling you down with me,
Here
I can almost hear you scream

Give Me
Give Me
One more medicated peaceful moment
One more medicated peaceful moment

And I dont want to feel this overwelming
Hostility...

ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR
YOU BUILT ME UP WITH YOUR WISHING HELL
I DIDN'T HAVE TO SELL YOU

REPENT, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
I SHED THE SKIN TO FEED THE FAKE
REPENT, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
WHOSE MISTAKE AM I ANYWAY?
CUT THE HEAD OFF
GROWS BACK HARD

THE ANGEL HAS SPREAD HIS WINGS
THE TIME HAS COME FOR BITTER THINGS
REPENT, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
I SHED THE SKIN TO FEED THE FAKE
REPENT, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
WHOSE MISTAKE AM I ANYWAY?
THE TIME HAS COME IT IS QUITE CLEAR
OUR ANTICHRIST
IS ALMOST HERE...
IT IS DONE

[Lady Tinuveil]

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Shove another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rythm & the echo
Of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along & leaves me so:

Desperate & Ravenous
Im so weak & powerless over you...

[anariel]

the rotk soundtrack is really amazing...though most of them are just melodies. Into the west is a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics...if you don't have the sountrack i suggest you get it..below is the lyrics to into the west
Lay Down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end

Sleep now
Dream-of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away.

Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see?
On the horizon.
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises.
The ships have come
To carry you home.

And all will turn to silver glass.
A light on the water
All souls pass.

Hope fades
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.

Don't say
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again.

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping.

What can you see?
On the horizon.
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises.
The ships have come
To carry you home.

And all will turn to silver glass.
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the west.

[Lady Ravyn]

goo goo dolls have excellent lyrics, as do staind. this is one of my favorites...

AFI "Girl's Not Grey"
I'll lay me down tonight,
much further down.
Swim in the calm tonight.
This art does drown.

What follows me as the whitest lace of light
just begs to be imbrued?
What follows will swallow whole.
What follows has lead me to this place where I belong,
with all erased.

All insects sing tonight.
The coldest sound.
I'd send God's grace tonight,
could it be found.

I'll lay me down tonight
much further down .
Watch the stars go out tonight.
On sinking ground,
I'll lay me down.

This Is Your Time


It was a test we could all hope to pass
But none of us would want to take.
Faced with the choice to deny God to live,
For her, there was one choice to make.

This was her time. this was her dance.
She lived every moment; left nothing to chance.
She swam in the sea; drank of the deep;
Embraced the mystery of all she could be.

This was her time...

Though you are mourning and grieving with us,
Death died a long time ago;
Swallowed in life so that life carries on.
Still it’s so hard to let go.

This was her time. this was her dance.
She lived every moment; left nothing to chance.
She swam in the sea; drank of the deep;
Embraced the mystery of all she could be.

What if tomorrow, and what if today,
Faced with the question,
Oh what would you say?

This is your time. this is your dance.
Live every moment. leave nothing to chance.
Swim in the sea. drink of the deep.
Follow the mercy and hear yourself praying.

Won’t you save me?
Won’t you save me?

This is your time. this is your dance.
Live every moment. leave nothing to chance.
Swim in the sea. drink of the deep.
Embrace the mystery of all you can be.

This is your time. this is your dance.
Live every moment. leave nothing to chance.
Swim in the sea. drink of the deep.
Embrace the mystery of all you can be.

This is your time...
(won’t you save me? )
(this is your time)
(won’t you save me? )

[hectorberlioz]

Tenor and Baritone:

Out there, we've walked quite friendly up to death:
sat down and eaten with him, cool and bland,-
pardoned his spilling mess-tins in our hands.

we've sniffed the green odour of his breath,-

Our eyes wept, but our courage didnt writhe.
he's spat at us with bullets and he's coughed
shrapnel. we chorused when he sang aloft;

We whistled when he shaved us with his scythe.
Oh death was never enemy of ours!
we laughed with him, we leagued with him, old chum.

No soldier's paid to kick against his powers.

We laughed, knowing better men would come,

And greater wars; when each proud fighter brags
he wars on death-for life; not men-for flags.

Extract from Britten's "WAR REQUIEM" opus 66.
lyrics by Wilfred Owen

[Insidious Rex]

the last of the true rock bands...

Remedy

Baby, baby why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird out on you window sill?
Are you the reason that he broke his back?
Did I see you laugh about that?
If I come on like a dream?
Would you let me show you what I mean?
If you let me come on inside?
Will you let it glide?

Can I have some remedy?
Remedy for me please.
Cause if I had some remedy
I'd take enough to please me.

Baby, baby why did you dye your hair?
Why you always keeping with your mother's dare?
Baby why's who's who, who know you too?
Did the other children scold on you?
If I come on like a dream?
Would you let me show you what I mean?
If you let me come on inside?
Will you let it slide?

Welcome To Paradise

Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since
I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Woah paradise

I don't know if anyone else here likes Evanescence, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, or Train, but those are really what I'd be posting. On that note!

Tourniquet By Evanescence

I tried to kill my pain
But only brought more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God, My tourniquet
Return to me, salvation
My God, My tourniquet
Return to me, salvation

Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side,
Or will you forget me?
I'm dying, praying, bleeding, and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

My God, My tourniquet
Return to me, salvation
My God, My tourniquet
Return to me, salvation

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied? Christ,
Tourniquet,
My suicide......

[Millane]

i got really excited when i saw Tourniquet but then i saw Evanescence instead of Marilyn Manson and was sickened:eek: :rolleyes:
and now for something older: My Monkey from portrait
i had a little monkey
i sent him to the country and i fed him on gingerbread
along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
and now my monkey's dead
at least he looks that way, but then again don't we all?
(what i make is what i am, i can't be forever)
i had a little a monkey
i sent him to the country and i fed him on gingerbread
along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
and now my monkey's dead
poor little monkey
"make you...break you...make you...break you...lookout"
(what i make is what i am, i can't live forever)
we are our own wicked gods
with little "g's" and big dicks
sadistic and constantly inflicting a slow demise
i had a little a monkey and i sent him to the country
and i fed him on gingerbread
along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
and (k)now my monkey's dead
the primate's scream of consonance is a reflection
of his own mind's dissonance

*Just Glares at Millane* I have no comment on Marilyn Manson.

FAÇADE from Jekyll &Hyde

[Bishop]
There's a face that we wear in the cold light of day
It's society's mask, It's society's way
And the truth is Ha! That it's all a facade
There's a face that we hide 'til the nighttime appears
And what's hiding inside behind all of our fears
Is our true self, locked inside a facade.

[Everyone]
Everyday
People in their own sweet way
Like to add a coat of paint, and be what they ain't
That's how our little game is played
Livin' out a masquerade
Actin' a bizzare charade
While playin' the saint!

[Stride]
But there's one thing I know and I know it for sure
This disease that we've got has got no ready cure
And I'm certain
Life is terribly hard!

[Everyone]
When your life's a facade.

Look around you
I have found you cannot tell by lookin' at the surface what is
lurkin' there beneath it!
See that face, now I'm prepared to bet you what you see's not what you get 'cause man's a master of deceit!
So what is this sinister secret?
The lie he will tell you is true!

[Utterson]
It's that each man you meet, in the street, isn't one man, but two!

[Everyone]
Nearly everyone you see like him and her and you and me
Pretends to be the pillar of society!
A model of propriety!
Sobriety!
And piety!
Who shudders at the thought of noteriety!
The ladies and gents here before you, which none of 'em ever admits!
May have saintly looks!
But they're sinners and crooks!
Hypocrites! Hypocrites!

There are preachers who kill!
There are killers who preach!
There are teachers who lie!
There are liars who teach!
Take your pick, dear!
Cause it's all a facade

[Danvers]
You must seem to be rich and have money to burn.

[A poor man]
Even though it's a bitch, spending more than you earn!

[Utterson and Danvers]
That's the game here!

[Everyone]
And the name is facade!

One or two, might look kinda well-to-do.
But I betcha precious few have paid for their boots.

[Utterson]
I'm inclined to think!

[Everyone]
Half man-kind, think the other half is blind
Wouldn't be surprised to find.

[All guys who could sing that high!]
They're all in cahoots!

[Everyone]
At the end of the day
They don't mean what they say!
They don't say what they mean!
They don't ever come clean!
And the answer, is it's all a facade.

Man is not one but two!
He is evil and good!
And he walks the fine line
We'd all cross if we could!
It's a nightmare
We can never discard (Look)
So we stay on our guard (Behind)
Though we love the facade (The Fa-cade!)
What's behind the facade?
Look behind......
The facade.

[Lady Ravyn]

lol; ella, give up- he just won't stop... ;) lol :)

Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin

*spoken*: i'd like to do a song of great social and pollitical import

OH, Lord, won't you buy me
a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porches,
I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime,
No help from my friends.
So, oh, Lord, won't you but me
A Mercedes Benz?

Oh, Lord, won't you buy me
A color TV?
*i'm not sure about this line, but-*
Dialing for Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery
Each day until three.
So, oh, Lord, won't you buy me
A color TV?

Oh, Lord, won't you buy me
A night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord,
Please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me,
And buy the next round.
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me
A night on the town?

[Millane]

*Just Glares at Millane* I have no comment on Marilyn Manson. hahahaha steady on with the glaring:p whats with the no comment on MM, does that mean you cant think of anything to say, dont know anything about Marilyn Manson or you think your above him:D no comments fine but ill just comment on Evanescence, its not that i doubt their musical ability its just that there songs are so stupid and they dont deserve a position on the same stand as Marilyn Manson, NIN, Tool etc (i dont really listen to much Tool but still) and the way the wench craps on makes her sound like shes the Saviour for all the depressed people in the world:rolleyes:
lol; ella, give up- he just won't stop... lol me just wont stop???:D

why is it your arguments FOR an artist are ALWAYS made at the expense OF an artist?: "Your band SUCKS because Manson ROCKS!!" Dont you realize that in the long run this just makes Manson look worse? Its as if you are saying well Im gonna attack all the other bands so that Manson looks that much better compared to them. Its pathetic in my opinion. Why not just talk about the artists you like? and i only say this because this has been your signature approach to music as long as ive been interacting with you here. even before the great RHCP/Manson battles. in a lyric thread, rather then criticizing another artist, simply promote your own. a lot of people could come up with a thousand reasons why manson is lame as well but this really isnt the place to say that so they dont.

[Ella Nyneve]

Thank you, Insidious! Now, for another song.

One Day by Simple Plan

Sometimes this house feels like a prison
that I just can't leave behind
there's so many rules I got to follow
'cuz you can't let go

I don't wanna hear it
And I just can't believe it
All the stupid things you say but

One day I won't take this anymore
One day I'll be old enough to do what I want to
I won't have to run away
And you won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
One day

Sometimes I wonder if you know me
Or if you just pretend to care
Tell me are you on a mission to bring me down?

Go away
Don't look at me
'cuz we're not the same
And you can't do nothing
You can say
That it's not ok
But I'm not afraid
And you can't do nothing

nanana...One day.

Ultimately i think everyone makes these judgements in there mind, so what if i dont try and make **** arguments to sugar coat the fact that i am only making these judgements because my mind makes comparisons?..
thats how i judge, you obviously dont, so :confused:

Stormfront

By Garnet Rodgers

As silent as the voice of God
these empty barren hills
they hover above the dry plain
they shimmer in the distance
I feel a sudden chill
The ground is dry and cracked like an old mans skin
stretched across the plain
Lightning flickering across the thunderhead
Empty promises of rain

Some kind of stormfront on the move tonight
Feel the tension in the air
Dust devils dance on the side of the highway
Leaves and garbage everywhere
Mothers call their kids from the door
"C'mon get inside, shut the windows, lock them tight"
The sun has burned its bridges
plunged into the mountains in a sea of steam
and poison light

I hear thunder bumping boxcars in the valley
the wind is laughing up my sleeve
the cars have turned their headlights on
It's way past time-- I should be gone

We've turned our towns into a filthy joke
like a theme park built for swine
We bulldoze farms, fields turn them into strip malls
Nobody seems to mind
Who elected these cheap hustlers anyway?
This worthless pack of pimps and whores
The developers come smiling with their pockets jingling full of change
We get down on all fours

And I don't want your Black Hills gold
Not at any price
we built a trail of tears and broken trees through here
then swarmed the earth like lice
Townhouses, casinos and trailer parks
Cheap neon light up the falling night
I saw the Four Horsemen ride through here about an hour ago
They were sickened at the sight

These highway signs are full of bullet holes
Burnt rubber cross the road
Someone's angry about something somewhere here
They're just waiting to unload
We're putting bombs in buildings
Bombs in letters, bombs in trucks
We're drowning kids in the backs of cars
We're dressing killers in Armani suits
We turn them into TV stars
We become a race of leering voyeurs
We're big on progress sex and death
Something evil is lurking in the darkness here with me
and I can smell its stinking breath
It's in the blankness of our children's stares
It's in a courtroom in a suit
It's in the hand that holds gun that made these bullet holes
It's a secret pocket filled with loot

It's the soft white faces
of these soft white men
with their soft white grasping hand
who laugh and sneer at those who have to stand and wait in line
and never got their chance

[Insidious Rex]

Already Gone

Eagles

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

Cause I'm aaaalready gone
And I'm feeeeeeelin strong
I will siiiiiiiiing this vict'ry song
Woo hoo hoo!
Woo hoo hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light (that's right)

And I'm aaaaaaalready gone
And I'm feeeeeeeeelin strong
I will siiiiiiiing this vict'ry song
Woo hoo hoo!
Woo hoo hoo

Well I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key

But me, I'm aaaaaalready gone
And I'm feeeeeeeelin strong
I will siiiiiiing this vict'ry song
Cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm aaaaaalready gone!
And I'm feeeeeelin' strong
I will siiiiiing this vict'ry song
Cause I'm already gone

Yes, I'm aaaaaaalready gone
Aaaaaaalready gone
All right. nighty-night

[Grey_Wolf]

Whiter shade of pale

We skipped the light Fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason

And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was.... (fade)

Get Up, Stand Up by Bob Marley

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Preacherman, don't tell me,
Heaven is under the earth.
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
It's not all that glitters is gold;
'Alf the story has never been told:
So now you see the light, eh!
Stand up for your rights. Come on!

Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!
Get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up: don't give up the fight!

Most people think,
Great God will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. Jah!

Get up, stand up! (Jah, Jah!)
Stand up for your rights! (Oh-hoo!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Don't give up the fight! (Life is your right!)
Get up, stand up! (So we can't give up the fight!)
Stand up for your rights! (Lord, Lord!)
Get up, stand up! (Keep on struggling on!)
Don't give up the fight! (Yeah!)

We sick an' tired of-a your ism-skism game -
Dyin' 'n' goin' to heaven in-a Jesus' name, Lord.
We know when we understand:
Almighty God is a living man.
You can fool some people sometimes,
But you can't fool all the people all the time.
So now we see the light (What you gonna do?),
We gonna stand up for our rights! (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)

So you better:
Get up, stand up! (In the morning! Git it up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Stand up for our rights!)
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! (Don't give it up, don't give it up!)
Get up, stand up! (Get up, stand up!)
Stand up for your rights! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! (...)
Don't give up the fight! (Get up, stand up!)
Get up, stand up! (...)
Stand up for your rights!
Get up, stand up!
Don't give up the fight! [fadeout]

Forest of October by Opeth

The memories that now rests in this forest
Forever shadowing the sunrise of my heart
Wings leave their nest at my coming
Swaying away unto the cold glowing sky

Dreaming away for a while
My spirit sighs in peace
Gazing unto the stars
Please, take me there

I am so alone, so cold
My heart is to scarred to glow
I wish the sunrise to come
Take my soul (away)
From this cold, lonely shell
I am free

From the eternal sea I rose
Veiled in darkness on either shore
Lost my pride, lost its glow
For me the sun rose no more

The forest of October
Sleeps silent when I depart
The web of time
Hides my last trace

My blaze travel the last universe
Like the sights of magic
Wrapped in aeons
My mind is one with my soul
I fall alone
While leaves fall from the weeping trees

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Dancing round the burning fire
Calling out the names of the dead
Chanting all your dark desires
As you stick your pins in my head

Painted faces all around me
Speak of things I don't understand
Somebody's blood is on the ground
My time is here, it is at hand

Why do you use the old juju?
Why do you rattle all them bones?
I'm telling you I'm not the one for you
but still you throw the stones

In the middle of a circle
Sits the one to fear
Maker of all miracles
The one I won't go near

It's the doctor that is blind
but still he'll cast the spell
Don't ever look into his evil mind
Unless you want to see his hell

Why do you use the old juju?
Why do you rattle all them bones?
I'm telling you I'm not the one for you
but still you throw the stones

Then you put a hex on me
Then you put a hex on me
Then you put a hex on me
You put a hex on me

Wicked laughter fills the air
Everyone is laughing at me
Can't escape his trancelike stare
He wants me to be blind like he

Needles, nails and broken glass
Incantations from the past
I'm just a toy in this unholy mask
Not the first nor will I be the last

Why do you use the old juju?
Why do you rattle all them bones?
I'm telling you I'm not the one for you
but still you throw the stones

Then you put a hex on me
Then you put a hex on me
Then you put a hex on me
You put a hex on me

[Ragnarok]

band: Pain of Salvation
song: Ropes End

She is still young...

Another day of emptiness
This life is wearing her down
The room around her is a mess
Her children safe with her mom

She is still young but feeling old
Two children with different fathers
She sits on the bathroom floor alone
The shower chain broke
Her neck hurts

Then another night of emptiness to wear her down
Naked to the world she wraps her sadness in a gown
Her children fast asleep she sears the dark with glassy eyes
Choosing carefully among her husband's business ties

"Over!" she cries through rope ends and silk ties
Beautiful life escaping her young blue eyes
But life holds her hand, refusing to let go
Leaving her breathing on the floor

They're still asleep don't hear her cry
And she's still obsessed with rope ends
This time she picks a stronger tie
With Winnie the Pooh and friends

She is still young but feeling old
A child dying to be a mother
Now she hangs from the ceiling all alone
All pressure is falling from her

Seeing guilt has taught her guilt she's raised on disbelief
Merely twenty beautiful but with a taste for grief
She has learnt all that there is to know about hopelessness
Seeing that no effort in this world can stand her test

"Over!" she cries through rope ends and silk ties
Beautiful life escaping her young blue eyes
And Winnie is strong, would never let her fall
Prevents her from breathing till she's not there at all
But life holds her hands, refusing to let go
Leaving her breathing on the floor

Seeing guilt has taught her guilt she's raised on disbelief
Merely twenty beautiful but with a taste for grief
She has learnt all that there is to know about helplessness
Seeing that no caring in this world can ease her stress

Helpless she lies in rope ends and undies
Unseeing eyes fixating Eeyore's smile
"Over!" she cries as she's going unblind
Still in this life
Still in this troubled mind
The ceiling let go, the old house let her fall
Dropping her breathing to the hard cold floor
Hitting her head - a broken china soul
Red stains on porcelain and she's not there at all

Breathing she cries for rope ends and silk ties
Beautiful eyes Piglet stands shy behind
Broken she lies undead and unblind
Beautiful life
Beautiful crying young eyes
Blackened and bruised, learning how to see
Staring at her tooth - crimsoned ivory
Hours they pass this broken china soul
Red stains on porcelain
And she's not there at all...

Fortunate Son

Creedance Clearwater Revival

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they’re red, white and blue.
And when the band plays hail to the chief,
Ooh, they point the cannon at you,

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no senator’s son, son.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no,

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don’t they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale,

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no millionaire’s son, no.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer more! more! more! yeah,

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no military son, son.
It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, one.

It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no fortunate son, no no no,

[Lady Ravyn]

i love this song; my favorite line in almost any song is "i'd trade all my tomorrows/for a single yesterday" from this song

Me and Bobby McGee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feelin' nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana,
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
Nothin' don't mean nothin, honey, if it ain't free, now now.
And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues.
You know feelin' good was good enough for me;
Good enough for and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done,
Hey, Bobby baby kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it.
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday,
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah.
But feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hye, feelin' good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee......

"Big Enough", by Chris Rice


None of us knows, and this makes it a mystery;
If life is a comedy,
then why all the tragedy?

Three and a half pounds of brain try to figure out
What this world is all about;
And is there an eternity?
Is there an eternity?


chorus
God if You're there, I wish You'd show me,
And God if You care, then I need you to know me.
I hope You don't mind me asking the questions,
But I figure You're big enough;
I figure You're big enough.


Lying on pillows we're haunted and half-awake
Does anyone hear us pray
"If I die before I wake"?

Then the morning comes, and the mirror's another place
Where we wrestle face-to-face
With the image of deity;
The image of deity.

(repeat chorus)

When I imagine the size of the universe
And I wonder what's out past the edges,
Then I discover inside me a space as big,
And believe that I'm meant to be filled up
With more than just questions.

(repeat chorus)

[Rían]

Here's another by Chris Rice, with Ran and Ricky Jackson. It's subtitled "a conversation with the stars" - the bits in parenthesis are the words sung by the stars. It's based on the Bible verse that talks about how during creation, the "morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy".


"Wonder", by Chris Rice and Ran and Ricky Jackson


I could stand here looking at you for a thousand years
And if I could I'd fly to the heavens and meet you there
But this gravity keeps holding me down.

So I'll just keep watching you slide through the summer sky
It makes me smile while you mingle your lights with the fireflies
And I don't want to stop this spinning around.

chorus 1
Hey, I'm getting dizzy now
I'm falling to the ground
Hey, I'm getting teary-eyed
My mouth is open wide
in wonder, in wonder.

Shall we dance, from opposite sides of the universe?
And we'll shine the Glory behind all our spins and turns
As we orbit our way through the sky

Is it true you sang with the angels when earth was made?
And now I sing along with your song while The Music plays
And the harmony is building
Cause the chorus can't be too far away ...

chorus 2
Hey, I'm getting dizzy now
(Hey you, looking at me)
I'm falling to the ground
(Tell me what do you see from down there?)
Hey, I'm getting teary-eyed
(Hey, if you could)
My mouth is open wide
(tell me how do we look from down there?)
in wonder, in wonder.

(Hey you, looking at me)
(Tell me what do you see from down there?)
(Hey, if you could)
(tell me how do we look from down there?

[repeat chorus 2]

But this gravity keeps holding me down ...

[Grey_Wolf]

Dire Straights: Brothers in arms

these mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me

My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

[Falagar]

Used to be my favorite song. :)

The Curse Of Feanor

Taken the long way
Dark realms I went through
I arrived
My vision's so clear
In anger and pain
I left deep wounds behind
But I arrived
Truth might be changed by victory

Beyond the void but deep within me
A swamp of filth exists
A lake it was of crystal beauty
But Arda's spring went by
I've heard the warning
Well curse my name
I'll keep on laughing
No regret
No regret

Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord
Morgoth I cried
All hope is gone but I swear revenge
Hear my oath
I will take part in your damned fate

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow which covers the light
I will always remember the time
But it's past
I cannot turn back the time
(I) don't look back
There's still smoke near the shore
But I arrived
Revenge be mine

I will take part in your damned fate
Morgoth I cried
It's my oath
So don't fear the eyes
Of the dark lord

Soon you will be free
Set your spirit free
"Suddenly I realized
The prophecies
I've never believed in
My deeds were wrong
I've stained the land
And slain my kin
(Burning Soul)
There's no release from my sins
It hurts
The Curse of Fëanor runs long
Time and only time will tell us
Tell: was I right or wrong?
When anger breaks through
I'll leave mercy behind"

I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow they'll cover my life
But I'll also remember mine
(And) after all I'm still alive

[Ragnarok]

Pink Floyd - Time


Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

[Nerdanel]

I love Tracy Chapman's lyrics;

Bang Bang Bang by Tracy Chapman:

what do you go and do
you go and give the boy a gun
now there ain't no place to run to
ain't no place to run

when the hold in his hand
he feel mighty he feel strong
now there ain't no place to run to
ain't no place to run

one day he may come back
repay for what we done
then where you gonna run to
where you gonna run

but one fine day
all our problems will be solved
bang bang bang
we'll shoot him down

give him drugs and give him candy
anything to make him think he's happy
and he won't ever come for us
he won't ever come

but if he does
and if there's no one else around
bang bang bang
we'll shoot him down

if he preys only on his neighbors
brothers sisters and friends
we'll consider it a favor
we'll consider justice done

but if he comes for you or me
and we can place a gun in his hand
bang bang bang
we'll shoot him dead

what you go and do
you go and give the boy a gun
now there ain't no place to run to
ain't no place to run

now we'll all be at his mercy
if he decides to hunt us down
cause there ain't no place to run to
ain't no place to run

if he wants the chances that you took from him
and nothing that you own
then there'll be no place to run to
there'll be no place to run

and if he finds himself to be
a reflection of us all
bang bang bang
he'll shoot us down

before you can raise your eyes to read
the writing on the wall
bang bang bang
he'll shoot you down

before you can bridge the gift between
and embrace him in your arms
bang bang bang
he'll shoot you down

[Nerdanel]

One more...

So by Tracy Chapman:

So you make a little money
Off of somebody else's sweat
So some people starve a little
While you get fat
While you get fat

So you grind and grind
And you push and shove
And claim that those most worthy
Will get what they deserve
What they deserve

It can't be true
It can't be true
Because I've seen too many hungry faces
I've seen too many with the likes of you
It can't be true

For you everything has it's price
You give nothing away for free
If silence were truly golden
I guess no one could sleep
No one could sleep

You have money at your fingertips
People at your beck and call
And you're fool enough
To think that for a price
You could have the whole wide world

For all our sake's
And all our lives
We must the hope the words
That come from your lips
We must hope that those words are lies

For all our sake's
And all our lives
We must hope the dreams
Soulless visions that you have
Are never realized

So
You've got a big house
And you drive a fancy car
So what if your pockets are full
If you have an empty heart

You snap your fingers
And all the waters part
So what if the people bow down
If they show you no regard

Your left hand
Always watches your right
So what if you trust in God
If you can't sleep at night

You think you've made it
You think you've got what everyone wants
So what if you're a big fat man
With an empty little heart

Who has made a little money
Off of somebody else's sweat
Who watched the people starve
While you got fat
While you got fat
You got fat
You got fat

[imrahil]

I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll
This time, I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah, kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge

The Head of State has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge

[Ella Nyneve]

Too Little, Too Late by Barenaked Ladies

You say, "Why does everything revolve around you?"
You say, "Why does everything I do confound you?"
You say, that I pulled the world from under you,
You can't go through it this time

And I could be good, and I would
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait
Or is it too little too late?

One day, this embarrassment will fade behind me
And that day, I could think of things that won't remind me
But these days, it's unbearable for both of us
We can't discuss it this way

I'm gaining strength, trying to learn pull my own weight
But I'm gaining pounds at the precipice of Too Late

Just Wait

I could be good, and I would
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait
Or is it too little too late?

Record and play, after years of endless rewind
Yesterday wasn't half as tough as this time
This time isn't Hell,
Last time, I couldn't tell
This mind wasn't well
Next time, hope I'm...
Going to be good, and I would -
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait -
Or is it too little too late?
Good, and I would -
If I knew I was understood
And it'll be great, just wait -
Or is it too little too late?

LED ZEPPELIN LYRICS

"Ten Years Gone"

Then as it was, then again it will be
An' though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Did you ever really need somebody, And really need 'em bad
Did you ever really want somebody, The best love you ever had
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
'Cause it was just the first time, And you knew you would

Through the eyes an' I sparkle, Senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, See your feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, Didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'

I'm never gonna leave you. I never gonna leave
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone

[Ragnarok]

Bill Withers - Lean on Me

Sometimes in our lives
we all have pain
we all have sorrow
but if we are wise
we know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me
when you're not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
for it won't be long
'till I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on

Please
swallow your pride
if I have things
you need to borrow
for no one can fill
those of your needs
that you wont let show

just call on me brother
when you need a hand
we all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
we all need somebody to lean on

lean on me
when youre not strong
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
for it wont be long
'till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

you just call on me brother
when you need a hand
we all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
we all need somebody to lean on

if there is a load
you have to bare
that you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
if you just call me

Won't you just call me?
If you need a friend
Call me
Call me..

[Millane]

NIN - HURT
i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything

what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

i wear this crown of ****
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
i am still right here

what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way

Teardrop by Masive Attack
one of my favourite songs ever.

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little

[Ragnarok]

band: Spock's Beard
song: The Distance to the Sun

There is no peace
Here in my mind
There's no way to see
We're all born blind
To some place some time
When we could feel like
We're joined inside
We can't always
See it with our eyes

But there is a world apart from what we know
There is a time the eyes will never show
We can be as one
And be farther than the distance to the sun

There is no use you'll never win
They'll only kick you back again
Back where you've been
And you're never satisfied
Your wants just change
You've been playing an unwinnable game

But there is a world apart from what we know
There is a place the eyes will never show
We can be as one
And be farther than the distance to the sun

Half the time we're gone, we don't know why
Half of us are crying to the sky
Once we're there we'll wonder why it took so long
Once we're there we'll know what we became

Father...ooh...oh...oh...
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, wind no sail
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me

Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...

Oh, dear dad, can you see me now

I'll open up...Release me...
Release me (3x)

"Three Wooden Crosses" by Randy Travis

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education,
An' two of them were searchin' for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.

That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres,
The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's heart.
An' that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children:
Did her best to give 'em all a better start.
An' that preacher whispered: "Can't you see the Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.

That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday.
As he held that blood-stained bible up,
For all of us to see.
He said: "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' the preacher;
"Who gave this Bible to my mamma,
"Who read it to me."

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway,
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know.
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.

There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway.

[Lady Tinuveil]

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
I've got this thing I consider my only art of FKin people over
My Boss just quit the job, says he's goin' out to find blind spots
[& he'll do it]
The Third planet is sure that they're being watched
By an eye in the sky that cant be stopped
When you get to the promised land, Your gonna shake the eyes hand

Your heart felt good, It was drippin pitch & made of wood
And your hands and your knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Outside naked, shiverin' lookin' blue, from the cold sunlight that's
Reflected off the moon
Baby come angels fly around you
Reminding you we used to be 3 and not just 2

And that's how the world began
And that's how the world will end

A third had just been made & we're swimming in the water
Didn't know then it was a son, was it a daughter
When it occured to me that the animals were swimming
Around in the water, in the oceans in our bodies
And another had been found another ocean on the planet
Given that our blood is just like the atlantic
And How

The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough, You'll end up where you were

Everything that keeps me together is falling apart
Iv'e got this thing I consider my only art, is FKin people over

[Lady Tinuveil]

Bring Me To Life - Evanescence
How can you see into my eyes like open doors,
leading you down into my core
where ive become so numb.
With out a soul
My spirit sleeping some where cold.
Untill u find it there & lead it back home.

CHORUS
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name & save me from the dark
bid my blood 2 run
b4 i come undone
Save me from the nothing i've bcome

Now that i kno what i'm w/o
u can't just leave me
breath into me & make me real
bring me 2 life

CHORUS

All of this time i can't bleive i couldn't c
Kept in the dark but u were there infront of me
I've been sleeping a 1000 yrs it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
with out thought w/o a soul don't let me die here
there must be something more

CHORUS

Sorry, guys, i made a few mistakes...i dont have the lyrics with me right now...but ill get the changes made asap

Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending

Let's talk this over,
It's not like we're dead.
Was it something I did
Was it something u said
Don't leave me hanging in a city so dead
Held up so high on such a breakable thread.

You were all the things i thought i knew
& i thought we could be

CHORUS
you were everything everything that i wanted
we were ment 2 b supposed 2 b but we lost it.
All our memories os close to me just fade away
All this time u were pretending so much 4 my happy ending

You got ur dumb friends
I kno what they say,
they tell u im difficult but so r they
but they dont know me
Do they even kno u
All the things u hide from me
All the sh** that u do.

u were all the things i thought i knew
& i thought we could b

CHORUS

Nice to know that u were there,
thanx 4 acting like u care & makin' me feel like i was the only 1
It's nice 2 kno we had it all thanx 4 watchin as i fall letign me kno we were done

He was every thing every thing that i wanted
we were meant 2 b supposed 2b but we lost it
all our memories so close 2 me just fade away
all this time u were pretending so much for my happy ending

skater boi - Avril Lavigne

he was a boy she was a girl
can i make it anymore obvious?
he was a punk she did ballet,
what more can i say?
He wanted her
she'd never tell
secretly she wanted him as well
all of her friends stuck of their nose,
they had a problem with his baggy clothes

he was a skater boy she said see u later boy
he wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face but her head was up in space
she needed 2 come back down 2 earth

5 yrs from now
she sits at home
feeding the baby she's all alone
turns on TV
guess who she sees?
Skater boy rocking up MTV
she calls up her friends they already kno
&they've all got tickets 2 c his show
she tags along
stands in the crowd
and looks up at the man that she turned down

he was a skater boy she said c u l8r boy
he wasn't good enough 4 her
now he's a super star slammin' on his guitar
does ur pretty face c what he's worth? 2X

sorry girl but u missed out
well tough luck that boy's mine now,
we r more than just good friends this is how the story ends
2 bad that u couldn't c,
c the man that boy could b
there is more than meet s the i
i c the soul that is inside

he's just a boy & im just a girl
can i make it anymore obvious?
we are in love
haven't u heard?
how we rock eachothers world?

he was a skater boy i said c u l8r boy,
i'll back stage after the show,
i'll be at the studio
singing the song we wrote about a girl u used 2 kno 2X

Pink Floyd In The Flesh? (not sure if it has already been posted, sorry if it has)

So you thought you might like to,
Go to the show.
To feel the warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
Tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what’s behind these cold eyes,
You’ll just have to blow your way through this disguise

Led Zepplin Ramble On

Leaves are falling all around,

It's time I was on my way.

Thanks to you, I'm much obliged

For such a pleasant stay.

But now it's time for me to go,

The autumn moon lights my way.

For now I smell the rain,

And with it pain,

And it's headed my way

. Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,

But I know I've got one thing I got to do,

Ramble On,

And now's the time, the time is now

To sing my song.

I'm goin' 'round the world,

I got to find my girl, on my way.

I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time to for spreadin' roots,

The time has come to be gone.

And tho' our health we drank a thousand times,

It's time to Ramble On.

Ramble On,

And now's the time, the time is now

To sing my song.

I'm goin' 'round the world,

I got to find my girl, on my way.

I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

I ain't tellin' no lie.

Mine's a tale that can't be told,

My freedom I hold dear;

How years ago in days of old

When magic filled the air,

T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor

I met a girl so fair,

But Gollum, and the evil one crept up

And slipped away with her.

Her, her....yea.

Ain't nothing I can do, no.

Ramble On,

And now's the time, the time is now

To sing my song.

I'm goin' 'round the world,

I got to find my girl, on my way.

I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Gonna ramble on, sing my song

Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...

Gonna work my way, round the world

I can't stop this feelin' in my heart

Gotta keep searchin' for my baby

I can't find my bluebird!

I'd listen to my bluebird sing but I can't find my blue bird

A-keep-a ramblin' baby...

Pink Floyd The Trial


Good morning, the worm, your honour,
The crown will plainly show,
The prisoner who now stands before you,
Was caught red-handed showing feelings.
Showing feelings of an almost human nature.
This will not do.

Call the schoolmaster!

I always said he’d come to no good,
In the end, your honour.
If they’d let me have my way,
I could have flayed him into shape.
But my hands were tied.
The bleeding hearts and artists,
Let him get away with murder.
Let me hammer him today.

Crazy.
Toys in the attic, I am crazy.
Truly gone fishing.
They must have taken my marbles away.
(crazy. toys in the attic, he is crazy.)

You little ****, you’re in it now.
I hope they throw away the key.
You should’ve talked to me more often than you did.
But no! you had to go your own way.
Have you broken any homes up lately?
Just five minutes, worm, your honour,
Him and me alone.

Baaaaaabe!
Come to mother, baby.
Let me hold you in my arms.
M’lord, I never meant for him to get in any trouble.
Why’d he ever have to leave me?
Worm, your honour, let me take him home.

Crazy.
Over the rainbow, I am crazy.
Bars in the window.
There must have been a door there in the wall.
For when I came in. . .
(crazy. over the rainbow, he is crazy.)

The evidence before the court is incontravertible.
There’s no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging I have never heard before,
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law.
The way you made them suffer,
Your exquisite wife and mother,
Fills me with the urge to deficate! -- no, judge, the jury!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers.
Tear down the wall!

[Nerdanel]

REM:
"I Wanted To Be Wrong"

You know where I come from
You know what I feel
You're Yul Brenner Westworld
Reporting from the field.
I threw it into reverse,
Made a motion to repeal.
You kicked my legs from under me,
And tried to take the wheel.

I told you I wanted to be wrong,
But everyone is humming a song
That I don't understand.

Now I know that the sun has shined on my side of the street.
The basket of America, the weevils and the wheat.
The milk and honeyed congregation, scrubbed and apple-cheeked
Salute Apollo 13 from the rattle jewelry seats.

Mythology's seductive and it turned a trick on me
That I have just begun to understand.

I told you I wanted to be wrong,
But everyone is humming a song
That I don't understand.

The rodeo is staged, gold circle goat-ropers and clowns.
A rumble in the third act, tie 'em up and burn 'em down.
We're armed to the teeth, born a little breech;
Blue-plate special analysts, cells and SUV's

We can't approach the Allies 'cause they seem a little peeved
And speak a language we don't understand.

I told you I wanted to be wrong
But everyone is humming a song
That I don't understand.

(Prop up The Omega Man, we're primed for victory,
God gave us the upper hand, there's honor among thieves.
Temper it with arrogance, a dash of sad conceit.
The top's down on the T-Bird, we're the children of the free)

Storm into the boardroom of the conquering elite.
Did you recognize the madman who is shouting in the streets?
Destroy the things that I don't understand
Destroy the things that I don't understand.

[Elemmírë]

I'd take a Simon and Garfunkel song.

Scarborough Fair

(btw, if you haven't heard it, or this version, the words in parentheses are somewhat interwoven with the ones immediately preceding them. Taken together... it's awfully haunting, IMO)

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)
Without no seams nor needlework
(Blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
(Sleeps unaware of the clarion call)

Tell her to find me an acre of land
(On the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves)
Parsely, sage, rosemary, and thyme
(Washed is the ground with so many tears)
Between the salt water and the sea strand
(A soldier cleans and polishes a gun)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

[Nerdanel]

one more (which brings back memories..:) ): It takes a Fool to remain sane by The Ark;

Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace,
Wasn´t life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss I´ll change your bore for my bliss
But let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand if you don´t give me the chance
to break down the walls of attitude,
I ask nothing of you
not even your gratitude

And if you think I´m corny
then it will not make me sorry
it´s your right to laugh at me
and in turn, that´s my oppurtunity
to feel brave

'Cause it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame

Every morning I would see her getting off the bus the picture never drops
it´s like a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain
it kept me sane for a couple of years
as it drenched my fears
of becoming like the others
who become unhappy mothers
and fathers of unhappy kids
And why is that?

´Cause they´ve forgotten how to play
maybe they´re afraid to feel ashamed
to seem strange
to seem insane
to seem gay
to gain weight
- I tell you this:

That it takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame
(-Oh, take it to the stage!)

So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket take it jackpot, crackpot,
strutting like a peacock
nailvarnish Arkansas
shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut
dye your hair in glowing red and blue,
-Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do, Don´t think twice, do what you have to do,
Do, Do, Do, let your heart decide what you have to do that´s all there is to find

Cause it takes a fool to remain sane,
Oh,It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame
It takes a fool to remain sane,
It takes a fool to remain sane
It takes a fool to remain sane
In this world all covered up in shame.

While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a
hurricane was blowing
Freedom just around the corner for you
But with truth so far off, what good will it do.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

So swiftly the sun sets in the sky
You rise up and say goodbye to no one
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread
Both of their futures, so full of dread, you don't show one
Shedding off one more layer of skin
Keeping one step ahead of the persecutor within.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

You're a man of the mountain, you can walk on the clouds
Manipulator of crowds, you're a dream twister
You're going to Sodom and Gomorrah
But what do you care ? Ain't nobody there would want marry your
sister
Friend to the martyr, a friend to the woman of shame
You look into the fiery furnace, see the rich man without any
name.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Well, the Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy
The law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers
In the smoke of the twilight on a milk-white steed
Michelangeo indeed could've carved out your features
Resting in the fields, far from the turbulent space
Half asleep near the stars with a small dog licking your face.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Well, the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame
Preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks
Molotow cocktails and rocks behind every curtain
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin
Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

It's a shadowy world, skies are slippery gray
A woman just gave birth to a prince today and dressed him in
scarlet
He'll put the priest in his pocket, put the blade to the heat
Take the motherless children off the street
And place them at the feet of a harlot
Oh, Jokerman, you know what he wants
Oh, Jokerman, you don't show any response.

Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune
Bird fly high by the light of the moon
Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman.

Come Up The Years by Jefferson Airplane
(Marty Balin/Paul Kantner)

I oughta get goin'
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years
Come up the years
And love me, love me, love me

A younger girl keeps hangin' around
One of the loveliest I've ever found
Blowin' my mind, stealin' my heart
Somebody help me 'fore I fall apart

I oughta get goin'
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years
Come up the years
And love me, love me, love me

The things she's doin' keep turnin' me on
And I've been happy to go right along
I know it's time that I said good-bye
I know I can't leave no matter how hard I try

I oughta get goin'
I shouldn't stay here and love you
More than I do
'Cause you're so much younger than I am
Come up the years
Come up the years
And love me, love me, love me.......

Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

(Yeah but) Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallelujah...

Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
It's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah…
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Hallellllluuuuuuuujjjaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh...Hallel llluuuuuujjaaaaaaaaaahhhh

[Millane]

Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley
Dude if you have the chance, listen to Nick Cave singing that song. Its great. God i love Nick Cave... a Nick Cave song? why not :p I think Stagger Lee's a bit crude, ummm
INTO MY ARMS - NICK CAVE
I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
Or to each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

But I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
Where we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make a journey bright and pure
That you'll keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

[Snowdog]

Columbia Records 1968


The song: Goin´ Back
(G.Goffin/C.King)

I think I´m going back to the things that I learned so well in my youth
I think I´m returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall the time when I wasn´t ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I´ve got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there´s more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I´m goin´ back

Now there´s more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I´m goin´ back

[Millane]

I'd swear I was in church in here....
Enough trite.
---------------------------------------------------------- Nick Cave?... heresy :mad: fine ill give you some Stagger Lee.
Stagger Lee - Nick Cave
It was back in '32 when times were hard
He had a Colt .45 and a deck of cards
Stagger Lee

He wore rat-drawn shoes and an old stetson hat
Had a '28 Ford, had payments on that
Stagger Lee

His woman threw him out in the ice and snow
And told him, "Never ever come back no more"
Stagger Lee

So he walked through the rain and he walked through the mud
Till he came to a place called The Bucket Of Blood
Stagger Lee

He said "Mr Mother****er, you know who I am"
The barkeeper said, "No, and I don't give a good goddamn"
To Stagger Lee

He said, "Well bartender, it's plain to see
I'm that bad mother****er called Stagger Lee"
Mr. Stagger Lee

Barkeep said, "Yeah, I've heard your name down the way
And I kick mother****ing asses like you every day"
Mr Stagger Lee

Well those were the last words that the barkeep said
'Cause Stag put four holes in his mother****ing head

Just then in came a broad called Nellie Brown
Was known to make more money than any bitch in town

She struts across the bar, hitching up her skirt
Over to Stagger Lee, she starts to flirt
With Stagger Lee

She saw the barkeep, said, "O God, he can't be dead!"
Stag said, "Well, just count the holes in the mother****er's head"
She said, "You ain't look like you scored in quite a time.
Why not come to my pad? It won't cost you a dime"
Mr. Stagger Lee


"But there's something I have to say before you begin
You'll have to be gone before my man Billy Dilly comes in,
Mr. Stagger Lee"

"I'll stay here till Billy comes in, till time comes to pass
And furthermore I'll **** Billy in his mother****ing ass"
Said Stagger Lee

"I'm a bad mother****er, don't you know
And I'll crawl over fifty good p*****'s just to get one fat boy's a******"
Said Stagger Lee

Just then Billy Dilly rolls in and he says, "You must be
That bad mother****er called Stagger Lee"
Stagger Lee

"Yeah, I'm Stagger Lee and you better get down on your knees
And suck my ****, because If you don't you're gonna be dead"
Said Stagger Lee

Billy dropped down and slobbered on his ****
And Stag filled him full of lead
Oh yeah.

How come this thread slipped?

oh well,

The Sacrament, by HIM

I hear you breathe so far from here
I feel your touch so close and real

And I know my church is not of silver and gold
Its glory lies beyond judgment of souls
The commandments are of consolation and warmth
You know our sacred dream won’t fail

The sanctuary tender and so frail
The sacrament of love
The sacrament of warmth is true
The sacrament is you

I hear you weep so far from here
I taste your tears like you’re next to me

And I know my weak prayers are not enough to heal
The ancient wounds so deep and so dear
The revelation is of hatred and fear

[Grey_Wolf]

Give me some loving by The Spencer Davies Group

(Awesome tune)

Hey!

Well my temperature's rising and my feet on the floor
Twenty people rockin' and there wanna go more
Let me in baby, i don't know what you've got
But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot


So glad we made it
So glad we made it
You gotta


Gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
Everyday
Hey hey

Hey!


Well i feel so good, everything is sellin' high
You'd better take it ease cause the place is on fire
It's been a hard day and i don't know what to do
We made it baby and it happened to you
And i'm


So glad we made it
So glad we made it
You gotta


Gimme some lovin' (gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'

Breath ~ Pink Floyd

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, run rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to start another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave.

[Elemmírë]

Rufus Wainwright, Harvester of Hearts

if a person should ever like a person,
then a person should like you....
being that i’m only just a person, what would you do?

if a person should ever like a person,
a person should like me....
being that you’re only just a person, it must be.

still, i find it hard to get an answer
from the harvester of hearts
i always find it hard to get an answer
from the harvester of hearts

if a person should ever like a person
how funny that would be
if a person should ever like me

not that i have that much to offer,
god knows i have so much to gain
from the harvester of hearts
from the harvester of pain

if a person should ever like a person
then a person should be free
free to like whomever that they want to
even though it aint me

not that i have that much to offer
god knows i have so much to gain
from the harvester of hearts
from the harvester of pain

[Rosie Gamgee]

This song was written of the Potato Famine in Ireland. I love the despair in the father's verses- the feeling of sorrow and pain is very evident in the song, especially when you hear it sung.

Skibbereen trad.

O Father dear I oft times hear you talk of Erin's Isle
Her lofty scenes and valleys green, her mountains rude and wild
They say it is a pretty place, wherein a prince might dwel
O why did you abandon it? the reason to me tell.

O son I loved my native land with energy and pride
'Til a blight came over all my crops, my sheep and cattle died
The rent and taxes were so high, I could not them redeem
And that's the cruel reason why I left old Skibbereen

'Tis well I do remember that bleak December day
The landlord and the sheriff came to drive us all away
They set my roof on fire with their demon yellow spleen
And that's another reason why I left old Skibbereen

Your mother too, God rest her soul, fell on the snowy ground
She fainted in her anguish seeing the desolation round
She never rose but passed away from life to mortal dream
She found a quiet grave, my boy, in dear old Skibbereen

And you were only two years old and feeble was your frame
I could not leave you with your friends, you bore your father's name
I wrapped you in my cota mor at the dead of the night unseen
And I heaved a sigh and I said goodbye to dear old Skibereen

O, father dear the day will come when on vengeance we will call
And Irishmen both stout and tall will rally unto the call
I'll be the man to lead the band beneath the flag of green
And loud and high we'll raise the cry: "Revenge for Skibereen"

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

my sister used to live in skibbereen, when she was working as a chef

[Rosie Gamgee]

Really? That's awesome. I want to go to Ireland someday.

Boy in the Bubble Paul Simon

It was a slow day
The sun was beating on the soldiers by the side of the road
There was a bright light
A shattering of shop-windows
The bomb in the baby carriage was wired to the radio

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is a long-distance call
They was the camera follows us in slow mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation that is dying in the corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder and don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

There was a dry wind
And it swept across the desert and it curled into the circle of birth
And the dead sand
Falling on the children
And mothers and the fathers and the automatic earth

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is a long-distance call
They was the camera follows us in slow mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation that is dying in the corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder and don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry

It's a turn-around-jump shot
It's everybody's jump-start
It's every generation throws a hero up the pop-charts
Well medicine is magical and magical is art
You know the boy in the bubble and the baby with the baboon heart

And I believe
These are the days of lasers in the jungle
Lasers in the jungle somwhere
Stuccato signals of constant information
A loose affiliation
Of millionaires and billionaires and baby

These are the days of miracle and wonder
This is a long distance call
They was the camera follows us in slow mo
The way we look to us all
The way we look to a distant constellation that is dying in the corner of the sky
These are the days of miracle and wonder and don't cry, baby, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!

The Sound of Silence ~ Paul Simon

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls."
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Proud by Heather Small
i liked this first time around, and now she's re-released it, I will go buy it

I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

[Embladyne]

This song really makes me love Rufus Wainwright's newest cd. I mean, I really identify with the lyrics...in a way that's difficult to explain.

Pretty things, so what if I like pretty things?
Pretty lies, so what if I like pretty lies?
From where you are, to where I am now,
I need these pretty things.

Surround the planets of my face,
Everything's a sign of my astrology,
From where you are to where I am now,
Is it some galaxy?

Be a star, and fall down somewhere next to me
And make it past your color TV.
This time will pass, and with it will me,
And all these pretty things.


Dont say that you don't notice them.

[Millane]

Without you im nothing - PLACEBO
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side

tick, tock. tick, tock. tick, tock.
tick, tick. tick. tick. tick, tock.

tick.
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
Your slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You never see the lonely me,
at all

I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I...
Fall
Without you, I'm Nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I'm nothing at all

if so, i'd be pretty skeptical of that list :p

Train in the Distance ~ Paul Simon

She was beautiful as Southern skies
The night he met her
She was married to someone
He was doggedly determined that he would get her
He was old, he was young
From time to time he'd tip his heart
But each time she withdrew
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
Well eventually the boy and the girl get married
Sure enough they have a son
And though they both were occupied
With the child she carried
Disagreements had begun
And in a while they fell apart
It wasn't hard to do
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
Two disappointed believers
Two people playing the game
Negotiations and love songs
Are often mistaken for one and the same
Now the man and the woman
Remain in contact
Let us say it's for the child
With disagreements about the meaning
Of a marriage contract
Conversations hard and wild
But from time to time
He makes her laugh
She cooks a meal or two
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance
Everybody thinks it's true
What is the point of this story
What information pertains
The thought that life could be better
Is woven indelibly
Into our hearts
And our brains

[brownjenkins]

The Suffolk Miracle, as sung by Jim Moray:

A wealthy squire lived in our town
He was a man of high renown
He had one daughter, a beauty bright
And the name he gave her was his Heart's Delight

Many young men to court her came
But none of them could her favour gain
Till there came one of low degree
And above them all, why, she'd fancy he

But when her father he came to know
That his lovely daughter loved this young man so
Over fifty miles he sent her away
All to deprive her of her wedding day

One night as she lay in her bedroom
Her love appeared from out the gloom
He kissed her cheek and this did say
“Arise my darling and come away�

'Twas with this young man she got on behind
And they rode faster than any wind
They rode on for an hour or more
Till he cries, “My darling, my head feels sore!�

A holland handkerchief she's then pulled out
And with it tied his aching head about
She's kissed him close and this did say
“My love, you're colder than any clay�

When they came to her father's gate
He said, “Get down, love, for the hour is late!
Get down, get down, love, and go to bed
And I'll see this gallant horse is groomed and fed�

And when she's come to her father's hall
“Who's that, who's that?� her own father called
“It is I dear father, did you send for me
By such a messenger�, naming he

“Oh no dear daughter, that can not be
Your words are false, and you lie to me
For on yon mountain your true love died
And in the graveyard his body lies�

So straightway then went this maiden brave
And with her friend she exposed the grave
There lay his body though six weeks dead
With the Holland handkerchief all around his head

[Millane]

Here comes your man - The Pixies
outside there's a box car waiting
outside the family stew
out by the fire breathing
outside we wait 'til face turns blue
i know the nervous walking
i know the dirty beard hangs
out by the box car waiting
take me away to nowhere plains
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man

big shake on the box car moving
big shake to the land that's falling down
is a wind makes a palm stop blowing
a big, big stone fall and break my crown
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man
there is a wait so long
you'll never wait so long
here comes your man

supoib ;)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

For a moment the world turns its back
and you let me come closer
though the hearts were filled with fear
for this dark secret love
Oh let the world turn its back
and please let me come closer
though the hearts filled with fear
for this love
our 666 has got a name
we burn in its flames again and again
what is our dark secret love?
see me as a seal upon thine heart,
as a seal upon thine arm
for love is strong as death
and jealousy is cruel as the grave
the coals thereof are coals of fire
which hath a most blazing flame
I love you ~*~ I love you
For a moment the world turns its back
and you let me come closer
though the hearts touched with joy

[Lady Ravyn]

It's Not Easy Being Green Kermit the Frog

It's not easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow, or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
'Cause you're not standing out
Like flashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like
And green can be big like a mountain
Or important like a river
Or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why
But why wonder why wonder
I am green, and it'll do fine
It's beautiful, and I think it's what I want to be

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Some people say my love cannot be true
Please believe me my love and i'll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal

Follow me now and you will not regret
Living the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me till the end of time

Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way I'm going to feel

I'm going to feel
I'm going to feel

Now I have you with me under my power
Our love grows stronger now with ev'ry hour
Look into my eyes you'll see who I am
My name is Lucifer please take my hand

[Pytt]

A House Is Not A Motel by Love


At my house I've got no shackles
You can come and look if you want to
In the halls you?ll see the mantles
Where the light shines dim all around you
And the streets are paved with gold and if
Someone asks you,
you can call my name


You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here
And it?s so for real to touch
To smell, to feel, to know where you are here
And the streets are paved with gold and if
Someone asks you, you can call my name
You can call my name
I hear you calling my name yeah
all right now


By the time that I?m through singing
The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water?s turned to blood, and if
You don?t think so
Go turn on your tub
And it it?s mixed with mud
You?ll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name

Garden
by Pearl Jam

the direction of the eye
so misleading
the defection of the soul
nauseously quick

I don't question
our existence
I just question
our modern needs

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone

after all is done
we're still alone
I won't be taken
yet I'll go...

I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
into your garden
garden of stone

I don't show...
I don't share...
I don't need
what you have to give...

100 Years by Five For Fighting


I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

[Hanza]

i love that five for fighting song. rather oddly i came to post a five for fighting song too....

Dying - five for fighting

I'm Dying, Dying to wake up without you, without you in my head again
I'm Dying, Dying to forget about you, that you ever lived
There's a shade come over this heart that's coping with laying down to rest
I'm Dying to live without you again

I'm Dying, Dying to find a distraction, get you away from me
I'm Dying, Dying to reach a conclusion, so that the world can see
It's the same old story of love and glory that broke before it bent
I'm Dying to live without you again

The first time you left I said goodbye
Now there's not a prayer that can survive

Dying, Dying to die just to come back so we can meet again
Dying, Dying to say what I always should have said
It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this
As long as there's a breath...
I'm Dying and I can't live without you again

It's a strange emotion this but there's still hope in this
As long as there's a breath...

I'm Dying and I can't live without you
I'm Dying and I can't live without you again

A Horse With no Name - America

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And a sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound


I been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert your can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
(la la la...)

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a riverbed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see...
I been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert your can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
(la la la...)

~Guitar jam~

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see,
I been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert your can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
(la la la...)

Sandman - America
Written by Dewey Bunnell, ©1971


Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Ain't the fire inside?
Let's all go stand around it
Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

'Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

Ain't the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, I almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?

Funny, I've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

'Cause I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the Sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned ...

Cradle Of Filth
Presents From The Poison-Hearted

Reigning at the feast of Phantasia
Heightened pleasures were endeavoured to bow
Before My coronation and vocal aspirations
To rule this fool creation fallen ?neath Me now

I knew deep eyes
Of a distant Christ
Were scarred from afar under starry lustre
Sighting my recitals on the rites of vice
Perverting Virtue
Enslaving grace
Behind the glittering mask of pride
Saving face finding thorns to pierce
His side

Desire, the fire
Spread hell throughout my soul
And higher the wire
The more I sought control

Straining from the leash in exultation
Head to the wind to breathe with ravenous lungs
The global scent of fornication
A writhe of many vipers deciphering tongues

I whispered schemes to dreamers then
To pursue an Eden
That screamed of me supreme again
As my world bloomed
So too the moon
Through Adam to Seth,Enos,Cainan
Mahalaleel and Jared blew
Perverting virtue
Enslaving grace
Behind the slippery guise of lies
Saving face making waves to drown their faith

Messiahs, pariahs
Aeons reversed the two
Thus higher, their sprites
The more cursed grew their roots
And suffering?

I swept cruel seas
On the galley of the shadow of death

A fist in the c*** of the spread horizon
A kiss for the sun risen red once dined on
The coast of Menses

Discharged from celestial wombs
A first degree murder of ravens
Followed in fugue through the crack of doom
The Goat of Mendes
I set regime
In the galley of the shadow of death

Angels in raiments
As pure as coal
Taking their payments
In tortured mortal souls
A bold direction
The abyss edge
But on cold reflection
One they warmed to nonetheless

As they preyed the paths of the righteous
Through the myth of thistled orchard floors
Bearing gifts of plenitude, for
The apples of the Lord were rotten to the core

Temptation, My ambassador

Attila, Herod, Pharisees and Nero
All begged of Me for more

Down dark steps of history
I waged a war with a Heaven
I could not see?
Beyond My wildest fantasies

Throwing sixes over deadly sin
I traded those who played to win
Skin for precious skin?
And that that wormed within
Staining the reams of revelation
Etching ever-afters in accursed verse
The limpid rags of resurrection
From papal parapets were to dirt dispersed
Desire, the flyers
Spread Hell throughout their souls
And higher the fire
The more I held control

[Snowdog]

Oh I'm not complaining ... :D

House at Poneil Corners - Jefferson Airplane

You & me we keep walkin' around & we see
All the bulsht around us
You try & keep your mind on what's going down
Can't help but see the rhinocerous around us

& you wonder what you can do
& you do what you can
To get balled & high
& you know I'm still goin' need you around

You say it's healing but nobody's feeling it
Somebody's dealing - somebody's stealing it
You say you don't see & you don't
You say you won't know & you won't let it come

Everything someday will be gone except silence
Earth will be quiet again
Seas from clouds will wash off the ashed of violence
Left as the memory of men
There will be no survivor my friend

Suddenly everyone will look surprised
Stars spinning wheels in the skies
Sun is scrambled in their eyes
While the moon circles like a vulture

Someone stood at a window & cried 'One tear
I thought that should stop a war
But someone is killing me'
& that's the last hour to think anymore

Jelly & juice & bubbles - bubbles on the floor
Castles on the cliffs vanish
Cliffs like heaps of rubbish
Seen from the stars hour by hour
As splintered scraps & black powder
From here to heaven is a scar
Dead center - deep as death

All the idiots have left

The Sisters of Mercy
Dominion / Mother Russia
in the heat of the night
in the heat of the day
when I close my eyes
when I look your way
when I meet the fear that lies inside
when I hear you say
in the heat of the moment
say, say, say:

some day, some day, some day
dominion
come a time
some day, some day, some day
dominion
some say prayers
I say mine

in the light of the fact
on the lone and level
sand stretch far away
in the heat of the action
in the settled dust
hold hold and sway
in the meeting of mind
down in the streets of shame
in the betting of names on gold to rust
in the land of the blind
be king, king, king, king

some day, some day, some day
dominion
come a time
some day, some day, some day
dominion
some say prayers
I say mine

we serve an old man in a dry season
a lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
dreamers of sleepers and white treason
we dream of rain and the history of the gun
there's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
a white house in a red square
I'm living in films for the sake of Russia
a kino runner for the DDR
and the fifty-two daughters of the revolution
turn the gold to chrome
gift, nothing to lose
stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing:

Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down down down
Mother Russia, Mother Russia, Mother Russia rain down

Anarchy - KMFDM
You break my back
You won't break me
All is black
But I still see
Shut me down
Knock me to the floor
Shoot me up
**** me like a whore

Trapped under ice
Comfortably cold
I've gone as low as you can go
Feel no remorse
No sense of shame
Time's gonna wash away all pain

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy

Sacrifice to the cause
Turn your code into law
Compensate to validate the loss
Take a thief
Nail him to a cross

Gospel of rage
Faction of hate
Deviate from the absolute
Born of revenge
Raised on cement
Chaos created government

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Wake me up in anarchy

[Snowdog]

**** me like a whore No thanks, that cost money. Maybe **** you like a slut...

Buffalo Springfield - Broken Arrow
by Neil Young

The lights turned on and the curtain fell down,
And when it was over it felt like a dream,
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream,
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain.
Did you see them, did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?

Eighteen years of American dream,
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall.
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall,
His mother had told him a trip was a fall,
And don't mention babies at all.
Did you see him, did you see him?
Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?

The streets were lined for the wedding parade,
The Queen wore the white gloves, the county of song,
The black covered caisson her horses had drawn
Protected her King from the sun rays of dawn.
They married for peace and were gone.
Did you see them, did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?

Yellowcard - Only One

Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason

I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only, my only one

Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone

And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only my only one

Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone

Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one

[Nerdanel]

This is something to think about (Bang bang bang by Tracy Chapman):

What you go and do
You go and give the boy a gun
Now there ain't place to run to
Ain't no place to run to

When he hold it in his hand
He feel mighty he feel strong
Now there ain't no place to run to
Ain't no place to run

One day he may come back
Repay us for what we've done
Then where you gonna run to
Where you gonna run

But one fine day
All our problems will be solved
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him down

Give him drugs and give him candy
Anything to make him think he's happy
And he won't ever come for us
He won't ever come

But if he does
And if there's no one else around
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him down

If he preys only on his neighbors
Brothers sisters and friends
We'll consider it a favor
We'll consider justice done

But if he comes for you or me
And we can place a gun in his hand
Bang bang bang
We'll shoot him dead

What you go and do
You go and give the boy a gun
Now there ain't no place to run to
Ain't no place to run

Now we'll all be at his mercy
If he decides to hunt us down
Cause there ain't no place to run to
Ain't no place to run

If he wants the chances that you took from him
And nothing that you own
Then there'll be no place to run to
There'll be no place to run

And if he finds himself to be
A reflection of us all
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot us down

Before you can raise your eyes to read
The writing on the wall
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you down

Before you can bridge the gulf between
And embrace him in your arms
Bang bang bang
He'll shoot you down

[Millane]

No thanks, that cost money. Maybe **** you like a slut...
but slut doesnt rhyme with floor :D

REVENGE - KMFDM
The empty and searching streets
These gutters they warm my feet
Since your cold lips blue
Give me life anew

Your works and your understanding
My god is so undemanding and don't miss a day
And i'll always pay
Give me life anew

I got a love for the leader
The cross the deciever
The ache is the answer
to break with disaster
Awake be forgiven arise with the living
Never see realize peel your eyes feel the prize

The battle burns in my head
The love is dead and hope has fled
Hate's the hurt my humanity
A corpse in bondage burns for thee
You've been tied, ripped and bled
Raped by freedom, while hate gave head

You've got a screaming silence
You're full of caution
Your regret, is my abortion
This vicious victim lost his hold
Revenge is a dish that's best served cold
Let your bloodlust leave
Let your hate recede
I can take it all with one collect-call
Awake be forgiven arise with the living
Never see realize peel your eyes feel the prize

Innocence dies trust betrays
Hope remains i'm a fan of the flames
Hey there baby girl
I got a weakness for lies
And i'm speechless for highs
Your hurt's my hope i'm your holy ghost
Your angel of mercy
I'll keep you dirty
Be kind to be cruel
So break every rule
Be cruel to the kind and you'll take every fool

You've got a screaming silence
You're full of caution
Your regret, is my abortion
This vicious victim lost his hold
Revenge is a dish that's best served cold
Let your bloodlust leave
Let your hate recede
I can take it all with one collect-call
Awake be forgiven arise with the living
Never see realize peel your eyes feel the prize

Revenge is a dish thats best served cold

Bright Eyes - It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends

Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek
Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes, but it's just on the cheek
You pull away so easily

And I still call you, but I get your machine
And I still call you, but I get your machine
And if I'm lucky I guess, I get your roommate answering
But you're at the bar, or at Gene's

And we go to dinner, but you won't hold my hand
We sit at the same table, but we don't play with our feet
Yeah, we still go to dinner sometimes, but we don't sneak a kiss
When the waitress turns around

And we still watch movies, but we don't share the couch
And we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch
Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes, but you don't lay in my lap
The plot is slow, take a nap

And you even stay over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you'll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes
Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes, but we stay in our clothes
I'm only there so that you're not alone

And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer
Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer
Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, but let's contrast and compare
Lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there

I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies
I guess your kind of truth, is just the ghost of your lies
Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies
I see through them all the time
So I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk
Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey, I'm going to get really ****ing drunk
I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk
That I pass out, forget your face, by the time I wake up

Rooster
Angels Calling

You and I we were one
And I swore I'd stay forever
But they say all good things come to an end
- my friend
Now it's time to move on
But don't think that this is easy
'Cos it's hard to be leaving you behind
But you will be fine

Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I won't be here tomorrow
Somewhere I got to be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
'Cos I can hear the angels callin'
Angels callin' for me

Does it help if I say
That I'm really truly sorry
And that I never meant for it to end
- this way
There's a place in your heart
Where you know you'll always find me
And I'll be with you wherever you are
Near or far

Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I won't be here tomorrow
Somewhere I got to be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
'Cos I can hear the angels callin'
Angels callin' for me

Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I won't be here tomorrow
Somewhere I got to be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
'Cos I can hear the angels callin'
Angels callin' for me

You and I we were one
And I swore I'd stay forever
But they say all good things come to an end
- my friend

Ever get the feeling that a lyric is so applicable to your life that it feels it has been written about you? This one does that for me:

To The End - Blur

All these dirty words
(Jusqu'a la fin)
They make us look so dumb
(En plein soleil)
Been drinking far too much
(Jusqu'a la fin)
And neither of us mean what we say
(En plein amour)

Well you and I
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it, yes
It looks like we've made it to the end

What happened to us
(Jusqu'a la fin)
Soon it will be gone forever
(En plein soleil)
Infatuated only with ourselves
(Jusqu'a la fin)
And neither of us can think straight anymore
(En plein amour)

Well you and I
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it, yes
It looks like we've made it to the end
When you and I
Collapsed in love
Well it looks like we might have made it, yes
It looks like we've made it to the end

(En plein amour)
You and I
We just collapsed in love
Collapsed in love
And it looks like we might have made it, yes
It looks like we've made it to the end

(En plein soleil)
(En plein soleil)

Consequence Free ~ Great Big Sea
Wouldn't it be great, if no one ever got offended
Wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind
I have always said 'all the rules are made for bending'
And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime?

[Chorus]
I wanna be consequence free
I wanna be where nothing needs to matter
I wanna be consequence free
just sing Na Na Na Na Na Ne Na Na Na

I could really use, to lose my Catholic conscience
Cuz I'm getting sick of feeling guilty all the time
I won't abuse it, Yeah I've got the best intentions
For a little bit of anarchy but not the hurting kind

[Chorus]

I couldn't sleep at all last night
cause I had so much on my mind
I'd like to leave it all behind,
but you know it's not that easy

[Chorus]

Wouldn't it be great, if the band just never ended
We could stay out late and we would never hear last call
We wouldn't need to worry about approval or permission,
we could - slip off the edge and never worry about the fall

[Chorus]

[Millane]

"Unfit"

You are the sweetest disease for me
I can't hear you say please to me
There's nothing you cannot say to me
Come on get down and pray with me

There's no feeling inside of me
You'll see nothing can hide in me
You'll find nothing can feed on me
Don't look, listen or believe in me

Get down
Shut up
Come on in
It's time to take your medicine
I'm unfit
I'm unfair
You can't feel
And I don't care
Get down
Shut up
Come on in
It's time to take your medicine
I'll wipe a stripe on you tonight
I'll tee you high and you will fly

[Millane]

Sunspots
Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes
Sometimes I forget I'm alive

I feel it coming and I've got to get out of its way
I hear it calling and I come cause I can't disobey
I should not listen and I shouldn't believe but I do, yes I do

She turns me on, she makes it real
I have to apologize, for the way I feel

My life it seems has taken a turn
Why in the name of God would I ever want to return?

Peel off our skin we're gonna burn what we were to the ground
**** in the fire and we'll spread all the ashes around
I want to kill away the rest of what's left and I do, yes I do

She turns me on, she makes it real
I have to apologize, for the way I feel
And nothing can stop me now
And there is nothing to fear
And everything I'd ever want
Is inside of here

Now I just stare into the sun
And I see everything I've done
I think I could have been someone
But I can't stop stuff has begun
When everything is said and done
And there is no place left to run
I think I used to be someone
Now I just stare into the sun

Disease
by The Ark

And the lions ate the christians and the
Christians burned the witches
- And even i am out of explanations
But maybe that doesn’t matter anymore
’Cause maybe you can read my thoughts
And going to school, going to work
Doing the dishes, knife and fork
All of that, all in all, hand in hand
Spring and fall
I believe i could get through it
I could even get into it
But only you can make me do it

And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
’Cause i want everything that
Is inside you
And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
’Cause if you’d die
Then i should die beside you

I began to read your profile
You are independent, mobile
- Well i know just as little
’Bout perfection
But we’re running in the same direction
So maybe that doesn’t matter anyhow

Belly aches, hair falls off
Skin gets covered with liver spots
Blood in the mouth and a racking cough
Heads get filled
With feverish thoughts

I believe i could get through it
I could even get into it
But only you can make me do it

And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
’Cause i want everything that
Is inside you
And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
’Cause if you’d die
Then i should die beside you

If there is disease in you
- Fall asleep and i will wake beside you
And if there is disease in you
I want to have that disease too
’Cause i want everything that
Is inside you
Inside you
Inside you

Mother by Pink Floyd

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song?
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Mother am I really dying?

Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.
Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mother's gonna put all her fears into you.
Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing.
She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.
Mama will keep baby cozy and warm.
Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,
Of course mama'll help to build the wall.

Mother do you think she's good enough -- to me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous -- to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Mother will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby dont you cry.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through.
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in.
Mama will always find out where you've been.
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean.
Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,
You'll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?

Love Will Save The Day
David Usher

The pornography made me do it
So those drugs that got us high
Was the thoughts of revolution
They've been poisoning my mind
So I'm walking down to the water
You keep coming up for air
All those people, they don't give a damn
They just stood around and stare
And I say

Love will save the day
Love will save the day
Love will save the day
Love will save the day

Come on sell me more of your religion
Cause it's sure to make a change
Last night God was on the TV screen
Taking dollars for their pain
Come on talk about that evolution
It's been poisoning my mind
I've been looking for a saviour
I've been waiting for a sign
And I said

Love will save the day
Love will save the day
Love will save the day
Love will save the day

I am walking
I am breathing
I can't hold you
I can't set you free

You are walking
You are breathing
You can't feel it
You will be the reason

Love will save the day
If love will save the day
If love will save the day
If love will save today

Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow

Something i can never have - NIN

I still recall the taste of your tears.
Echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears.
My favorite dreams of you still wash ashore.
Scraping through my head 'till I don't want to sleep anymore.

You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

You always were the one to show me how
Back then I couldn't do the things that I can do now.
This thing is slowly taking me apart.
Grey would be the color if I had a heart.

Come on tell me...
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I'm down to just one thing.
And I'm starting to scare myself.
You make this all go away.
You make this all go away.
I just want something.
I just want something I can never have

In this place it seems like such a shame.
Though it all looks different now,
I know it's still the same
Everywhere I look you're all I see
Just a fading ****ing reminder of who I used to be.

Come on and tell me...
You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I'm down to just one thing
And I'm starting to scare myself
You make this all go away
You make this all go away
I just want something
I just want something I can never have
I just want something I can never have

[Curubethion]

Everything is broken
Everything is broken
Everything is breaking down, breaking down.
Everything is bleeding
Everything is bleeding
Everything is breaking down, breaking down.

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders,
Without politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart.
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
Come on and break me

Entropy and aching, where have we been aiming
Everything is fading out, fading out
We are the faded, splintered and sedated
Everything is fading out, fading out

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders,
Without politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart.
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
Come on and break me

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders,
Without politicians, politicians...

Its my song of the moment....
I watched the Bob Dylan special in PBS last night, and I have this song in my head...


Song for Woody (Guthrie)

I'm out here a thousand miles from my home,
Walkin' a road other men have gone down.
I'm seein' your world of people and things,
Your paupers and peasants and princes and kings.

Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along.
Seems sick an' it's hungry, it's tired an' it's torn,
It looks like it's a-dyin' an' it's hardly been born.

Hey, Woody Guthrie, but I know that you know
All the things that I'm a-sayin' an' a-many times more.
I'm a-singin' you the song, but I can't sing enough,
'Cause there's not many men that done the things that you've done.

Here's to Cisco an' Sonny an' Leadbelly too,
An' to all the good people that traveled with you.
Here's to the hearts and the hands of the men
That come with the dust and are gone with the wind.

I'm a-leaving' tomorrow, but I could leave today,
Somewhere down the road someday.
The very last thing that I'd want to do
Is to say I've been hittin' some hard travelin' too.

She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing...

Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings...

Til everything burns
...

Just my song now. Great one :) Fantastic Four movie soundtrack, if I remember correctly.

[Rosie Gamgee]

[i]I've got a smile on my face and I've got four walls around me!
I've got the sun in the saky; all the waters surround me!
Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose,
I've been battered, but I never bruise;
It's not so bad!

>>And I say
Way, hey, hey,
It's just an ordinary day!
And it's all your state of mind!
At the end of the day,
You've just got to say
It's all right!

Janey sings on the corner, what keeps her from dyin'?
Let 'em say what they want, but she won't stop tryin'!
She might stumble if they push her around,
She might fall, but she'll never lie down;
It's not so bad!
>>

In this beautiful life, there's always some sorrow;
It's a double-edged knife, but there's always tomorrow!
It's up to you now if you sink or swim,
Just keep your faith and your ship will come in;
It's not so bad!

Where I Go
Natalie Merchant

Climbing under
a barbed wire fence
by the railroad ties

climbing over
the old stone wall
I am bound for the riverside

well I go to the river
to soothe my mind
ponder over
the crazy days of my life
just sit and watch the river flow

find a place
on the riverbank
where the green rushes grow
see the wind
in the willow tree
in branches hanging low

well I go to the river
to soothe my mind
to ponder over
the crazy days in my life
watch the river flow
ease my my mind & soul
where I go

well I will go to the river
from time to time
wander over
these crazy days in my mind
watch the river flow
where the willow branches grow
by the cool rolling waters
moving gracefully and slow

child it's lovely
let the river take it all away
the mad pace, the hurry
the troubles, the worries
just let the river take them all away
flow away

[Lotesse]

Natalie Merchant is the bomb! Is she still making music? I was so into Tigerlily, back in the 90s. :)

[Kafei]

She is! :) Outside of a concert I attended, I've never met anyone who knew Nat, much less enjoyed her music. It's nice to meet you. I haven't heard from her in a while, but she has made at least two records since Tigerlily; Ophelia and Motherland. Both very good.

Reptile - Nine Inch Nails
She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in,
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where shes been,
shes has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin,
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within.

Oh my beautiful liar,
oh my precious whore,
my disease my infection,
I am so impure.

Devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest,
Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress,
need to contaminate to alleviate my loneliness,
i now know the depths i reach are limitless.

Oh my beautiful liar,
oh my precious whore,
my disease my infection,
I am so impure.

Gospel Song
BRMC

I will walk with Jesus, till I cant go any more,
And I will stay with Jesus, till I can't go another mile,
And people will see all the good that's concealed,
And people must know, not to feel any sorrow,
Cos I will not stand by and watch you cry...
I.

I will stay with Jesus, till I can't stay any more,
And I will stand with Jesus, till I can't take another stone,
And people will see all the good that's concealed,
And people will know, not to feel any sorrow,
Cos I will not stand by and watch you cry...
I.

Let Down By Radiohead

Transport, motorways and tramlines,
starting and then stopping,
taking off and landing,
the emptiest of feelings,
disappointed people, clinging on to bottles,
and when it comes it's so, so, disappointing.

Let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Shell smashed, juices flowing
wings twitch, legs are going,
don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel.
One day, I'm gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and

let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Let down,
Let down,
Let down.

You know, you know where you are with,
you know where you are with,
floor collapsing, falling, bouncing back
and one day, I'm gonna grow wings,
a chemical reaction, [You know where you are,]
hysterical and useless [you know where you are,]
hysterical and [you know where you are,]

let down and hanging around,
crushed like a bug in the ground.
Let down and hanging around.

Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced
by Dropkick Murphys :

I play in a band
We're the best in the land
We're big in both Chelsea and France
I play one mean guitar and then score at the bar
There's a line of chicks waiting for their chance
So come on now honey, I'll make you feel pretty
These other gals mean nothing to me
Let's finish these drinks and be gone for the night
'Cause I'm more than a handfull you'll see

[Chorus:]
So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
and i'm soaked and i'm soiled and brown in the trousers,
She kissed me!
And I only bought her one round

I can bench press a car
I'm an ex football star
with degrees from both Harvard and Yale
Girls just can't keep up
I'm a real love machine
I've had far better sex while in jail
I designed the Sears tower
I make two grand an hour
I cook the world's best duck flambe
I'll take the pick of the litter
And girls jockey for me
I don't need these lines to get laid

[Chorus]

I'm the man of the night
A real ladies delight
See, my figure was chisled from stone
One more for the gal then I'll escort her home
Come last call, I'm never alone
I own a house on the hill with a red water bed
It puts Hugh Heffnor's mansion to shame
With girls by the pool and italian sports cars
I'm just here in this dump for the game

[Chorus x2]

Ahh, **** it. Who am I *****in'?

I'm a pitiful sight
And I ain't all that bright
I'm definitly not chisled from stone
I'm a cheat and a liar
No woman's desire
I'll probably die cold and alone

But just give me a chance
Cause deep down inside
I swear I got a big heart of gold
I'm a monogamous man
No more one night stands
Come on, honey, let me take you home

[brownjenkins]

Changes ~ David Bowie

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste
was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware
of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace
I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get
a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

Gay Messiah
Rufus Wainwright

He will then be reborn
From 1970's porn
Wearing tubesocks with style
And such an innocent smile

Better pray for your sins
Better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming

He will fall from the star
Studio 54
And appear on the sand
Of Fire Island's shore

Better pray for your sins
Better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming

No it will not be me
Rufus the Baptist I be
No I won't be the one
Baptized in cum

What will happen instead
Someone will demand my head
And then I will kneel down
And give it to them looking down

Better pray for your sins
Better pray for your sins
'Cause the gay messiah's coming

Title: Where The Streets Have No Name

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when i go there
I go there with you
It's all i can do

The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind

Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when i go there
I go there with you
It's all i can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and i see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when i go there
I go there with you
It's all i can do

[E, LoR]

this is one of my favorite songs ever, Wonderwall, by Oasis!!!!! :)

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after an
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me

Moonlight Mile ~ The Rolling Stones

When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there's a face you know
Don't the nights pass slow
Don't the nights pass slow
The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones
Gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow
Let the air waves flow
Oh I'm sleeping under strange strange skies
Just another mad mad day on the road
My dream is fading down the railway line
I'm just about a moonlight mile down the road

I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
I'm hiding baby and I'm dreaming
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
Let it go now, come on up babe
Yeah, let it go now
Yeah, flow now baby
Yeah move on now yeah
Yeah, I'm coming home
'Cause, I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Down the road, down the road

[Curubethion]

Look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice
Tell me all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Either move or we will all be destroyed

[Chorus]
Move and show me what you can do
When you step into the circle and shake like we do
Move when you just can't take it
And move if you just feel like breaking it

Can you hear me? Stop, look, listen to my voice,
It was never my choice to feel all alone
This is my home
Back up , you don't know if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears
It takes everything I am

If you come near me, stop, look, listen to my voice
If you're making the choice tell all the girls and the boys
Either scream or rejoice
Let's make that noise
Eitehr move or we will all be destroyed
Back up and let go if you've never been here,
You've never been to the place inside, I face my fears,
It takes everything I am

[Chorus]

I come crashing to the floor
And I know there must be more like me
I've seen this all before, I can't carry this anymore, break free
Breath, and leave until the storm is over
'Cause underneath, there's a diamond passin gover
So breath, let's leave until the storm is over,
Because I want to take you away

[Chorus]

[Grey_Wolf]

He Played Real Good for Free
Joni Mitchell

I slept last night in a good hotel,
I went shopping today for jewels.
The wind rushed around in the dirty town;
And the children let out from the schools.

I was standing on a noisy corner,
Waiting for the walking green.
Across the street he stood,
and he played real good,
On his clarinet, for free.

Now me, I play for fortune,
and those velvet curtain calls.
I've got a black limosine,
and two gentlemen,
escorting me to those halls.

And I play if you have the money,
Or if your a friend to me.
But the one man band
by the quick lunch stand,
he was playin' real good, for free.

Nobody stopped to hear him,
though he played so sweet and high.
They knew he had never been on their tv,
so they passed his music by.

I meant to go over and ask for a song,
maybe put on a harmony.
I heard his refrain as the signal changed.
He was playin' real good, for free.

Heart-shaped Box
Nirvana

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

(chorus)
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

....your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on Angel Hair and baby's breath
Broken Hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

(chorus)
...Your advice

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

(chorus)

Your advice
Your advice
Your advice

[littleadanel]

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[E, LoR]

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
That is one of my favorite songs EVER!!! I stole it off my older sisters iTunes program...heehee..........

It's actually by a band called The Verve Pipe :D . Here's a link to a page that has the lyrics on it.

http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Verve-Pipe/Bittersweet-Symphony.html

Good song, I havn't heard it for awhile.The band got sued over this song for using a beat from another song and not giving credit for it. I can't remember who it was, I wanna say David Bowie but I don't think thats right.

I tried to find a blues song called Ain't no sunshine something or other.

[littleadanel]

It's Bill Withers; an AWEsome song! I love it. :)

Here ya go:

Ain't No Sunshine

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It’s not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she always gone too long
Anytime she goes away

Wonder this time where she’s gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away

I know [36times]

Hey, I oughtta leave the young thing alone but
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away


What I usually use, btw, is http://www.sing365.com/.

[Grey_Wolf]

Thanks, Littleadanel. I've heard that tune off and on on tv and thought about finding the artist. :)

I love it, too. Especially that rolling rythm. :)

Mazzy Star
Fade Into You

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breathe that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Color's your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then a smile covers your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
X2
I think it's strange you never knew



BTW, I love Ain't No Sunshine. It's going to be stuck in my head for days now. :D

Heart-shaped Box
Nirvana

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

(chorus)
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

....your advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on Angel Hair and baby's breath
Broken Hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

(chorus)
...Your advice

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar-pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

I love that song too! but azlyrics.com says that evanescence did it :confused: ?

Maria Muldaur - Don't You Make Me High
(Written by Blue Lu Barker)


Don't you feel my leg
don't you feel my leg
'cause if you feel my leg
you gonna feel my thigh
and if you feel my thigh
you gonna go up high
So don't you feel my leg

Don't ya buy no rye
don't ya buy no rye
'cause if ya buy me rye
you gonna make me high
if you make me high
you get a big suprise
So don't you buy no rye

You say you'll take me dancing
buy me gin and wine
but I know different
you got something else on your mind
You say we'll ball and have a lovely time
what I got is mine o mine

Don't you feel my leg
don't you feel my leg
'cause if you feel my leg
you wanna feel my thigh
and if you feel my thigh
you gonna make me high
So don't you feel my thigh

(musical interlude)

Don't you feel my leg
don't you feel my leg
'cause if you feel my leg
you'll wanna feel my thigh
if you feel my thigh
you gonna make me high
So don't you feel my leg

Don't you feel my leg
Don't you feel that leg...

Elton John - Mansfield

It's a case I guess of paradise lost
Ten years back on the hands of the clock
In that little house on Mansfield
On your old block
Sometimes the magic of the past is all we've got

Just you and me at a crossroads then
Ain't it funny how we were old friends
Accidentally thrown together
Did we intend
To be the romantic novel you never want to end

And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room
And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune
You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life
And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight'

In between the Star of David and the California moon
The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room
We were crazy, wild and running
Blind to the change to come
In that little house on Mansfield
We'd wake at the break of dawn
In an Indian summer gone

In the candlelight I can recall
Your naked shadow looking ten feet tall
Like a wild pony dancing
Along the wall
Off balance I found love the only place to fall

And it's the contact of the eye that meets across a crowded room
And how I kind of wound up the lyrics to your tune
You said, 'Funny but it feels like I've known you all my life
And how it might feel to kiss you on the mouth tonight'

In between the Star of David and the California moon
The Santa Ana winds blew warm into your room
We were crazy, wild and running
Blind to the change to come
In that little house on Mansfield
We'd wake at the break of dawn
In an Indian summer gone
Wake at the break of dawn
In an Indian summer gone

Beautiful song! Though, it is Leonard Cohen originaly :) And I think Jeff Buckleys version is the best.

Do you Realize?? - The Flaming Lips
Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize - we're floating in space -
Do You Realize - that happiness makes you cry
Do You Realize - that everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - Oh - Oh - Oh
Do You Realize - that everyone you know
Someday will die -

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes - let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do You Realize - that you have the most beautiful face
Do You Realize

Songs of Love by the Divine Comedy

Pale, pubescent beasts
Roam through the streets
And coffee-shops,
Their prey gather in herds
In stiff knee-length skirts
And white ankle-socks,
But while they search for a mate
My type hibernate
In bedrooms above,
Composing their songs of love

Young, uniform minds
In uniform lines
And uniform ties
Run 'round
With trousers on fire
And signs of desire
They cannot disguise,
While I try to find words
As light as the birds
That circle above
To put in my songs of love

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice,
So sing while you have time
Let the sun shine down from above
And fill you with songs of love

Fate doesn't hang on a wrong or right choice
Fortune depends on the tone of your voice
So let's sing while we still can
While the sun hangs high up above
Wonderful songs of love,
Beautiful songs of love

[brownjenkins]

With God on Our Side ~ Bob Dylan

Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
The country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I's taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that land that I live in
Has God on its side.

Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.

Oh the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I's made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead
When God's on your side.

When the Second World War
Came to an end
We forgave the Germans
And we were friends
Though they murdered six million
In the ovens they fried
The Germans now too
Have God on their side.

I've learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It's them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side.

But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we're forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God's on your side.

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side.

So now as I'm leavin'
I'm weary as Hell
The confusion I'm feelin'
Ain't no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God's on our side
He'll stop the next war.

Girls by Beastie Boys

Girls - all I really want is girls
And in the morning its girls
Cause in the evening its girls

I like the way that they walk
And its chill to hear them talk
And I can always make them smile
From white castle to the nile

Back in the day
There was this girl around the way
She liked by home-piece m.c.a.
He said he would not give her play
I asked him, please? - he said, you may.
Her pants were tight and thats ok
If she would dance - I would d.j.
We took a walk down to the bay

I hope shell say, hey me and you should hit the hay!
I asked her out - she said, no way!
So I broke north with no delay
I heard she moved real far away
That was two years ago this may
I seen her just the other day
Jockin mike d. to my dismay

Girls - to do the dishes
Girls - to clean up my room
Girls - to do the laundry
Girls - and in the bathroom
Girls - thats all I really want is girls
Two at a time - I want girls
With new wave hairdos - I want girls
I ought to whip out my - girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!

How to Save a Life by The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

*sniff* this song makes me think of my best friend :(

At Last by Etta James

At last
my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah
At last
the skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a dream to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah…

You smiled, you smiled
oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this song (i'd love for it to be my wedding song when that time comes lol :) )

[Curubethion]

As I walk through this land,
I remember the boys who took a stand,
Who stood there strong when things got rough,
They would shout and scream at the things that were tough,
No weapon formed against them would live,
A punch to the face, a kick to the rib
Their cause was justice and they strove to be pure,
All of hell shook when their knees hit the floor,

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Never look back never give up,
There's someone behind who will pick you up,
I got a sword in my hand and I'm ready for the attack.

Raise up the flag let them see,
Our creed is a symbol for those who are free,
We fight against evil, we fight against sin,
Our battles not outward, our battles within.

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Never look back never give up,
There's someone behind who will pick you up,
I got a sword in my hand and I'm ready for the attack.

Acoustic #3 by The Goo Goo Dolls

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

And I wonder where these dreams go
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
No one's listening anyway

Your voice is small and fading
And you're hiding here alone
And your mother loves your father
Cuz she's got nowhere to go

And she wonders where these dreams go
Cuz the world got in her way
What's the point in ever trying?
Nothing's changing anyway

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway

And you know I see right through you
Cuz the world gets in your way
What's the point in all this screaming?
You're not listening anyway

[littleadanel]

I knew there had to be a lyrics thread somewhere...



Window Shopping For Blinds by Beautiful South

One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke
Spent all my money on whisky and coke
Riding high till the rock hit the spoke
It's like window shopping for blinds

Spent all my money on a sunbed tan
Spoke the best that a young girl can
Ended up with a blind drunk man
It's like window shopping for blinds

It's like the heartbreak hotel,
With the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
The doors are shut on us,
The neon light fading to grey

They say I drink too much, to me, well that's just profound
How do you know you can't swim, until you have drowned?

Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
Always a sip of the wine
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
When window shopping for blinds

It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true,
They've a harvest they yield
Save your tears for your evening meal,
When you're window shopping for blinds

One day you're sober, next day youre not
One day remembered, the next day forgot
Spent all my money on cocaine and pot
It's like window shopping for blinds

Covered in bruises from head to toe
No-one to speak to, and nowhere to go
A map of nowhere, and nowhere I know
It's like window shopping for blinds

It's like the heartbreak hotel,
With the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
The doors are shut on us,
The neon light fading to grey

They say I drink too much, to me, well that's just profound
How do you know you can't swim, until you have drowned?

Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
Always a sip of the wine
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
When window shopping for blinds

But what if my husband should come?
Well tell me what have you done?
I've cherished my vodka, I've cherished my rum
Don't mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun

It's like writing I love you in snow
You know when you write it the message will go
I want a message my lover will find
Don't mind us, we're just window shopping for blinds



Me wants more of this band...

Dolly by Hyde


It won't be long now till scientists
Program a soul into the A.I.
Accelerated by tools of war
Our science is religion

To bring you back into this world
I'd break every rule
Machines try to take me to hell
I don't really care - I do it for love

Build a tower tall and strong, it will be beautiful
Using our technology, Babel will stand anew

A clone created on English soil
Where does her soul come from, I wonder?
No need to challenge the Cherubim
The fallacy, God's failure

To bring you back into this world
I'd break every rule
Machines try to take me to hell
I don't really care - I do it for love

Build a tower tall and strong, it will be beautiful
Using our technology, Babel will stand anew

"My name is Dolly.
Why was I made?
Where did my soul come from? Where will it go?
Oh, my creator, please tell me . . . "

I'll take every blow that comes
Commit such unspeakable sins
They won't mean a thing

To bring you back into this world
I'd break every rule
Machines try to take me to hell
I don't really care - I do it for love

Build a tower tall and strong, it will be beautiful
Using our technology, Babel will stand anew

If I Didn't Love You ~ Squeeze

If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Watching you play in the bath
A soap suds stickle back navy
A scrubbing brush landing craft
Your skin gets softer and warmer
I pat you down with a towel
Tonight it's love by the fire
My mind goes out on the prowl
If I if I if I if I if I

If I didn't love you I'd hate you
I'm playing your stereogram
Singles remind me of kisses
Albums remind me of plans
Tonight it's love by the fire
The wind plays over the coals
Passionate looks are my fancy
But you turn the look into stone

If I didn't love you
Would you sit and glow by the fire
If I didn't love you
Would you make me feel so
Maybe love me
Oh if I didn't love you

If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Cocoa mugs sit side by side
It's time to poke at the fire
But it's not tonight
Looks I find
Taking a bite on a biscuit
The record jumps on a scratch
Tonight it's love by the fire
The door of your love's on the latch

If I, if I, if I
Didn't, didn't, didn't
Love you, love you, love you

[Nerdanel]

Twisted by Joni Mitchell

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
The way he described it
He said I'd be better dead than live
I didn't listen to his jive
I knew all along
That he was all wrong
And I knew that he thought
I was crazy but I'm not
Oh no

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
He said I'd need treatment
But I'm not that easily led
He said I was the type
That was most inclined
When out of his sight
To be out of my mind
And he thought I was nuts
No more ifs or ands or buts

They say as a child
I appeared a little bit wild
With all my crazy ideas
But I knew what was happening
I knew I was a genius...
What's so strange when you know
That you're a wizard at three
I knew that this was meant to be

Now I heard little children
Were supposed to sleep tight
That's why I got into the vodka one night
My parents got frantic
Didn't know what to do
But I saw some crazy scenes
Before I came to
Now do you think I was crazy
I may have been only three
But I was swinging

They all laugh at angry young men
They all laugh at Edison
And also at Einstein
So why should I feel sorry
If they just couldn't understand
The idiomatic logic
That went on in my head
I had a brain
It was insane
Oh they used to laugh at me
When I refused to ride
On all those double decker buses
All because there was no driver on the top

My analyst told me
That I was right out of my head
But I said dear doctor
I think that it's you instead
Because I have got a thing
That's unique and new
To prove it I'll have
The last laugh on you
'Cause instead of one head
I got two
And you know two heads are better than one..

[Rosie Gamgee]

Love ~ (Sean McCann), Great Big Sea

When we're together
Why does something always start?
We're both better off
When we are apart.
Some days you hate me, I can see it in your eyes,
Seems like lately, you can't wait to critisize
Me!

But it's all right.
We don't have to fight
This night.
It's all right.
We don't have to fight
To night.

And everyday
I can see the rockets fly,
Over the graves
Of too many who have died
Fighting for land or some ancient holy shrine.
I bet your blood runs red, just the same as mine
Oh!


But it's all right.
We don't have to fight
This night.
It's all right.
We don't have to fight
To night.

And I said love! La-la-la-la-la Love! La-la-la-la-la Love!
You gotta believe in Love.

How many more
Of our children have to fall?
And just how high
Do we have to build these walls?
In fighting there's no dignity
It's such a waste of time.
Take my hand; I don't think God will mind
No.

Cuz I said love! La-la-la-la-la Love! La-la-la-la-la Love!
You gotta believe in Love.

Drive ~ The Cars

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna pick you up
When you fall
Who's gonna hang it up
When you call
Who's gonna pay attention
To your dreams
Who's gonna plug their ears
When you scream
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

Who's gonna hold you down
When you shake
Who's gonna come around
When you break
You can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight
Oh you know you can't go on
Thinking nothing's wrong
Who's gonna drive you home tonight

[Rosie Gamgee]

I like that. ^

Right Where It Belongs by Nine Inch Nails

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

[Mari]

The lyrics may seem a bit silly, but this song has pulled me through several times before, and I believe it will continue to do so. It was a bit difficult to find the complete lyrics though.

Song: Park Amsterdam (the whole story)

Vocals : Maaya Sakamoto

Composer: Yoko Kanno


One day, sitting in a tree
I couldn't help but notice, you there in the park.
You weren't like all the others
you could fit me in your pocket
and just seemed so large.

But then you really tried to talk to me,
we chatted all about your mom and everything
and if somebody pointed out the fact you have no wings...
wouldn't mean a thing

and like a dream we saw the world together
"goodbye" to differences
"hello" to each other
harmony
unity
day and night
you and me
and paradise
met the queen of hearts
while out dancing on the lake
and she asked us to a party
"you can bring some friends
but don't be late"
climbed aboard a bus
and it drove us to the castle
but we didn't have to pay
cause the driver was the jester's brother
sadly sighed the king
cause somebody took his cake
so we gave him some of ours
and he smiled so wide
he ate his plate
he asked you to sing
and I won't forget the faces
or the awful melody
you and jester singing out of key
not a better time
could be had for all the moment
the king beamed, "allow me please"
"let my ballon take you across the ocean"
(you and me across the ocean,
in his ballon, you and me and harmony)

didin't try to put me in a cage of your convenience
like some others have
instead you took me to your favorite garden in Manhattan
and we had a laugh

along the way I fell in love with you
don't think I could ever get enough of you
and if somebody pointed out the fact that you can't sing...
wouldn't mean a thing

How to Save a Life by The Fray

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

*sniff* this song makes me think of my best friend :(


This song is the love of my life :)
Grey's Anatomy is my life. :D

[Lotesse]

What's wrong with the world, mama?
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas.
I think the whole world's addicted to the drama,
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma.

Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism,
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA; the big CIA,
The Bloods, and The Crips, and the KKK.

But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate,
And to discriminate only generates hate,
And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate.

Madness is what you demonstrate,
And that's exactly how anger works and operates.
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight,
Take control of your mind and meditate.
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all...


People killin', people dyin',
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'.
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us,
Send some guidance from above,
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?



It just ain't the same, always unchanged.
New days are strange, is the world insane?
If love and peace is so strong,
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong?

Nations droppin' bombs,
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones,
With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young.
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone?
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in.

People keep on givin' in,
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends.
Not respectin' each other, "deny thy brother."
A war is goin' on, but the reason's undercover;
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug.

If you never know truth, then you never know love.
Where's the love, y'all?

People killin', people dyin',
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'.
Can you practice what you preach?
And would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father help us,
Send some guidance from above,
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?



I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older. People get colder.
Most of us only care about money makin';
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction.

Wrong information always shown by the media.
Negative images is the main criteria.
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria;
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema.

Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity?
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality?
Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity,
Lack of understanding leading lives away from unity.

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under,
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down.
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under!
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found.

Now ask yourself
Where is the love?

"A Man/Me/Then Jim" by Rilo Kylie

I had one friend in high school,
recently he hung himself with string.
His note said, 'If living is the problem,
well, that's just baffling.'
And at the wake I waited around
to see my ex first love,
and I barely recognized her,
but I knew exactly what she was thinking of.

We sat quietly in the corner,
whispering close about loss.
And I remembered why I loved her,
and I asked her why I drove her off.

She said, "The slow fade of love,
its soft edge might cut you
and our poor friend Jim, well, he just lived within
the slow fade of love."

A woman calls my house once a week,
she's always selling things.
Some charity, a phone plan,
a subscription to a magazine.
And as I turned her down (I always do),
there was something trembling in her voice.
I said, 'Hey, what troubles you?'
She said, "I'm surprised you noticed.

Well, my husband, he's a-leaving,
and I can't convince him to stay.
And he'll take our daughter with him,
she wants to go with him anyway.
I'm sorry I'm hard to live with,
living is the problem for me.
I'm selling people things they don't want,
when I don't know what she needs.

He said, 'The slow fade of love,
and its mist might choke you.
It's my gradual descent into a life I never meant.
It's the slow fade of love."

I was driving south from Melrose.
I happened upon my old lover's old house.
I found myself staring at the closed up door
like the day she threw me out.
"Diana, Diana, Diana, I would die for you.
I'm in love with you completely,
I'm afraid that's all I can do."

She said, "You can sleep upon my doorstep,
you can promise me indifference, Jim.
but my mind is made up,
and I'll never let you in again.

For the slow fade of love.
it might hit you from below.
It's your gradual descent into a life you never meant.
It's the slow fade of love."

It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
Baby, It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.
Slow fade of love.
It's the slow fade of love.

lurve this song; rilo kylie has some pretty cool and thoughtful lyrics :)

[Curubethion]

The worlds have now learned of the worst yet to come.
A brink of an end, a boy learns to run.
How you love, how could you, Mr. Man-of-the-Year?
Walking tall with nothing to fear.

Don't pass up this chance, oh, go tear down the walls.
No Gods will be watching, no one cares enough at all.

These words need now an ending, as they did at the start.
But I'll keep on pretending.
I won't go...

Don't cry no more, boy.
You've got the other side of your life.
So ignore, and move out the front door,
And take out your trash,
I'm no longer haunting here,
I'm not coming back.

The world must know...
My story;
So long, Amory.
Please drive me home one last time.

Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail...
(There's 57 "Hail!"s in the song)


I love these lyrics. In the context of the Coheed story, it's incredible. The song owns.

The Gunner's Dream (Pink Floyd)

Floating down through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now.
In the space between the heavens
and in the corner of some foreign field
I had a dream.
I had a dream.
Good-bye Max.
Good-bye Ma.
After the service when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream.
A place to stay
"Oi! A real one ..."
Enough to eat
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door.
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no one kills the children anymore.
And no one kills the children anymore.

Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane.
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight.
What's done is done.
We cannot just write off his final scene.
Take heed of his dream.
Take heed.

[Miss Cassandra]

Lots of nice, and different, songs on here. If I ever had enough courage to sing in public, It would be this song:
(Dedicated to my special someone, of course.;))

Today, Tomorrow, and Forever
by Patsy Cline

How warm is the love in my heart for you
As warm as the sun in the sky of blue
How long will it shine if you say you're mine
Today, tomorrow and forever

How strong was my love from the very start
How long will it last in my happy heart
How much would I cry if we'd ever part
Today, tomorrow and forever

'Cause if you weren't there to share my love
Who cares if the sky should fall
For anyone can see how much you mean to me
You're my life, my love, my very all

And as long as the tides of the ocean flow
As long as the trees and the flowers grow
So long, oh my love, will I love you so
Today, tomorrow and forever

'Cause if you weren't there to share my love
Who cares if the sky should fall
For anyone can see how much you mean to me
You're my life, my love, my very all

And as long as the tides of the ocean flow
As long as the trees and the flowers grow
So long, oh my love, will I love you so
Today, tomorrow and forever
