I'll start wil one : Fotheringay
[Sandy Denny] of fairport convention

Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned at the castle of Fotheringay by Queen Elizabeth I for conspiring to overthrow Elizabeth.

How often she has gazed from castle windows o'er,
And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall,
With no-one to heed her call.
The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun,
And in a lonely moment those embers will be gone
And the last of all the young birds flown.
Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before,
To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door,
But those days will last no more.
Tomorrow at this hour she will be far away,
Much farther than these islands,
Or the lonely Fotheringay

[afro-elf]

Pink Floyd

Sorrow



The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough

His blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His knees have trembled & given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered

One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of promises broken

[afro-elf]

RUSH

losing it



The dancer slows her frantic pace
In pain and desperation,
Her aching limbs and downcast face
Aglow with perspiration

Stiff as wire, her lungs on fire,
With just the briefest pause ---
The flooding through her memory,
The echoes of old applause.

She limps across the floor
And closes her bedroom door...

The writer stares with glassy eyes ---
Defies the empty page
His beard is white, his face is lined
And streaked with tears of rage.

Thirty years ago, how the words would flow
With passion and precision,
But now his mind is dark and dulled
By sickness and indecision.

And he stares out the kitchen door
Where the sun will rise no more...

Some are born to move the world ---
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we'd like to be

Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you -- the blind who once could see ---
The bell tolls for thee...

[BeardofPants]

All things must pass, George Harrison. For obvious reasons.


Sunrise doesn't last all morning
A cloudburst doesn't last all day
Seems my love is up and has left you with no warning
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away

Sunset doesn't last all evening
A mind can blow those clouds away
After all this, my love is up and must be leaving
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
All things must pass away

[Glorious Glorfindel]

This song to me is the best ever written, and i feel if certain gender's were changed it would be true to all of us, including myself!

Yesterday
Wirter, lead vocal: Paul McCartney


Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half to man I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why she had to go I don't know she wouldn't say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play.
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.

[azalea]

Sit beside the breakfast table, think about your troubles,
Pour yourself a cup of tea, and think about the bubbles,
You can take your teardrops and drop 'em in a teacup,
Take 'em down to the riverside and throw 'em over the side
To be swept up by a current, then taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes, who were eaten by some fishes
And swallowed by a whale who grew so old
He decomposed.
He died and left his body to the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows that when a body decomposes
The basic elements are given back to the ocean
And the sea does what it oughta
And soon there's salty water, which is not to good for drinking
'Cuz it tastes just like a teardrop, so we run it through a filter
And it comes out from a faucet, and it pours into a teapot
Which is just about to bubble, now think about your troubles.

(hope this wasn't to trite or anything, but I really love this song).

TWO BEDS AND A COFFEE MACHINE- Savage Garden


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




It really made me think when i first heard it.

[StrawberryIcecream]

I habe never heard that savage garden one but then again i'm not a massive fan but this has got to be the most inspiring song ever:
Savage Garden, Affirmation

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold

I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse T.V evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I protest to having to delete this song.

This thread is about LYRICS not the people whose agents they got mailed to.

[Jadera]

Every Time It Rains

Every time it rains it rains pennies from heaven
Don'tcha know each cloud contains, oh
Pennies from heaven

You'll find your fortune falling
All over town
Make sure that your umbrella
Is upside down

Trade them for a packacke of sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers

So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from heaven for you and me.

Just one of those feel-good songs, I guess. I think Bing Crosby sang it.

[BeardofPants]

RULE 1: NOTHING SILLY OR TRITE


That means no Christina Aguilera, sorry. :D

[galadriel88]

I love that one, GG!

I love this song and I think it will be on my top 5 list for a long, long time.

TIME OF YOUR LIFE
by Green Day
(I don't have the lyrics right in front of me, I'm doing it from memory so bear with me)

Another turn around, a fork stuck in the road
Tom grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this task, and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end there's right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs and steal friends in your mind
Hangin' on a shelf in good health and good time
Tatoos and memories and askin' on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end there's right
I hope you had the time of your life

[break]

It's something unpredictable, (etc.)

Only A Pawn In Their Game
by Bob Dylan

*Medgar Evers was a civil rights activist murdered in 1963. His murderer was not found guilty until almost 30 years later.*


A bullet from the back of a bush took Medgar Evers' blood.
A finger fired the trigger to his name.
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark
Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man's brain
But he can't be blamed
He's only a pawn in their game.

A South politician preaches to the poor white man,
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain.
You're better than them, you been born with white skin," they explain.
And the Negro's name
Is used it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid,
And the marshals and cops get the same,
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool.
He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

From the poverty shacks, he looks from the cracks to the tracks,
And the hoof beats pound in his brain.
And he's taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
With his fist in a clinch
To hang and to lynch
To hide 'neath the hood
To kill with no pain
Like a dog on a chain
He ain't got no name
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

Today, Medgar Evers was buried from the bullet he caught.
They lowered him down as a king.
But when the shadowy sun sets on the one
That fired the gun
He'll see by his grave
On the stone that remains
Carved next to his name
His epitaph plain:
Only a pawn in their game.

[BeardofPants]

Ooh, I LOVE Bob Dylan!! Here's one called Hurricane, based on the wrongful imprisonment of the boxer, Rubin Carter (played by Denzel Washington in "Hurricane".)


HURRICANE.

Pistol shots ring out in the barroom night
Enter Patty Valentine from the upper hall.
She sees the bartender in a pool of blood,
Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!"
Here comes the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see
And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously.
"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands
"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand.
I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops
"One of us had better call up the cops."
And so Patty calls the cops
And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin'
In the hot New Jersey night.

Meanwhile, far away in another part of town
Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around.
Number one contender for the middleweight crown
Had no idea what kinda **** was about to go down
When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road
Just like the time before and the time before that.
In Paterson that's just the way things go.
If you're black you might as well not show up on the street
'Less you wanna draw the heat.

Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops.
Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around
He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like middleweights
They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates."
And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head.
Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead"
So they took him to the infirmary
And though this man could hardly see
They told him that he could identify the guilty men.

Four in the mornin' and they haul Rubin in,
Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs.
The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye
Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!"
Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane,
The man the authorities came to blame
For somethin' that he never done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

Four months later, the ghettos are in flame,
Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name
While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game
And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody to blame.
"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?"
"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?"
"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?"
"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that night?"
"Don't forget that you are white."

Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure."
Cops said, "A poor boy like you could use a break
We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend Bello
Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow.
You'll be doin' society a favor.
That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver.
We want to put his ass in stir
We want to pin this triple murder on him
He ain't no Gentleman Jim."

Rubin could take a man out with just one punch
But he never did like to talk about it all that much.
It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay
And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way
Up to some paradise
Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice
And ride a horse along a trail.
But then they took him to the jail house
Where they try to turn a man into a mouse.

All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance
The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance.
The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums
To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum
And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger.
No one doubted that he pulled the trigger.
And though they could not produce the gun,
The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed
And the all-white jury agreed.

Rubin Carter was falsely tried.
The crime was murder "one," guess who testified?
Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied
And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride.
How can the life of such a man
Be in the palm of some fool's hand?
To see him obviously framed
Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land
Where justice is a game.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.
That's the story of the Hurricane,
But it won't be over till they clear his name
And give him back the time he's done.
Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been
The champion of the world.

[Jadera]

One of my favorite songs is a Christmas song by Simon and Garfunkel. It's called 7 o'clock News/Silent Night. Broadcast is from the sixties.

Silent night, holy night
All is calm all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Slee in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace
(continues to play over broadcast)

This is the early evening edition of the news.
The recent fight in the House of Representatives was over the open housing section of the Civil Rights bill.
Brought traditional enemies together but it left
the defenders of the measure without the
votes of their strongest supporters.
President Johnson originally proplesed an outright
ban covering discrimination by everyone for every type of housing but it had no chance from the start and everyone in Congress knew it.
A compromise was painfully worked out in the House Judiciary Committee.
In Los Angeles today comedian Lenny Bruce died of what was believed to ben an overdose of narcotics. Bruce was 42 years old.
Dr. Martin Luther King says he does not intend to cancel plans for an open housing march Sunday into the Chicago suburbs of Cicero.
Cook County Sheriff Richard Ogleby asked King to call off the march and the police in Cicero said they would ask the National Guard to be called out if it is held. King now in Atlanta, Georgia plans to return to Chicago by Tuesday.

In Chicago Richard Speck, accused murderer of nine student nurses, was bought before a grand jury today for indictment. The nurses wree found stabbed and strangled in their Chicago apartments. In Washington the atmosphere was tense today as a sp ecial subcommittee of the House Committee on Un-American activities continued its probe into anti-Vietnam war protest. Demonstraters were forcibly evicted from the hearings when they began chanting anti-war slogans. Former Vice President Richard Nixon says that unless there is substantial increase in the present war effort in Vietnam, te U.S. shoud look foward to five more years of war.

In a speech before the Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in New York, Nixon also said opposition to the war in this contry is the greatest single weapon working against the U.S. That's the 7o'clock edition of the news.
Goodnight.


It's a really intresting song to listen too, and it's cool for me because my parents were alive and remember about all that stuff and my dad fought in Vietnam.

World Leader Pretend by R.E.M. ( Green CD)

I sit at my table and wage war on myself
It seems like its all for nothing
I know the barricades, and
I know the mortar in the wall breaks
I recognize the weapons. I've used them well.
I've a rich understanding of my finest defences:
I proclaim that claims are left unstated,
I demand a rematch.
I decree a stalmate.
I divine my deeper motives.
I recognize the weapons.
I've practiced them well, I fitted them myself.
Its amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize.
This is my mistake. Let me make it good.
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down.
Reach out for me, hold me tight, hold that memory.
Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me.

This is my world, and
I am world leader pretend.
This is my life, and
this is my time.
I have been given the freedom to do as I see fit.
Its high time I raised the walls that I've constructed.
Its amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize.
This is my mistake, let me make it good.
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down.
You fill in the mortar.
You fill in the harmony.
You fill in the mortar.
You fill in the harmony.
I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down.

Pink Floyd -- Wish You Were Here

So
So you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail,
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for chains,
Did you exchange a walk-on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish
How I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimmin' in a fish bowl
year after year,
runnin' over the same old ground,
what have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

[BeardofPants]

Another song that inspires me is, John Lennon's "Woman is the Nigger of the World."

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is... think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it... do something about it

We make her paint her face and dance
If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us
If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she's above us

Woman is the nigger of the world.. yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeh... better scream about it

We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend

Woman is the nigger of the world... yes she is
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeh (think about it)

We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she's young, we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart
We put her down for being so dumb

Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is...
If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes, she is...
If you believe me, you better scream about it

We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

FAMILY SNAPSHOT by Peter Gabriel

The streets are lined with camera crews

Everywhere he goes is news

Today is different

Today is not the same

Today I make the action

Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light

I'm shooting into the light



Four miles down the cavalcade moves on

Driving into the sun

If I worked it out right

They won't see me or the gun

Two miles to go, they're clearing the road

The cheering has really begun

I've got my radio

I can hear what's going on



I've been waiting for this

I've been waiting for this

All you people in TV land

I will wake up your empty shells

Peak-time viewing blown in a flash

As I burn into your memory cells

'Cos I'm alive



They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front

I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes

-It's a matter of time

-It's a matter of will

And the governor's car is not far behind

He's not the one I've got in mind

'Cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine

"I don't really hate you

-I don't care what you do

We were made for each other

-Me and you

I want to be somebody

You were like that too.

If you don't get given you learn to take

And I will take you."



Holding my breath

Release the catch

And I let the bullet fly



All turned quiet - I have been here before

Lonely boy hiding behind the front door

Friends have all gone home

There's my toy gun on the floor

Come back Mum and Dad

You're growing apart

You know that I'm growing up sad

I need some attention

I shoot into the light

[BeardofPants]

David Bowie's "Quicksand"... It's political!

I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's secret realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore

I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm drawn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release

I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore.

No Shelter

The main attraction - distraction
got ya number than nnumber than numb
Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin that
What ya need is what they sellin
Make you think that buyin is rebellin
>From the theaters to malls on every shore
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here
Speilberg the nightmare works so push it far
Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred
Memory erased, burned and scarred
Trade in ya history for a VCR

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture - Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
Tha frontline is everywhere

Hospitals not profit full
Yet market bulls got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View tha world from American eyes
Tha poor adore keep fiendin for more
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
They fix the need, develop the taste
Buy their products or get laid to waste
Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on
And Godzilla pure mutha****in filler
To keep ya eyes off the real killer

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture - Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

American eyes, American eyes....
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothin behind

Just stare
Relive the nightmare

Brave New World
(Murray/Harris/Dickinson)

Dying Swans twisted wings
Beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life
In this garden of fear
I have seen many things
In a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more
Bring this savage back home

Wilderness house of pain
Makes no sense of it all
Close my mind dull this brain
Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real
Those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your soul
In this brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world

Dragon Kings Dying Queens
Where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams
Rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here
Dying to tell you the truth
You are planned you are damned
In this Brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world

[BeardofPants]

David Bowie... again.

Bombers.


Chorus.
All clear wail the sirens
Sunshine on the wasteland
Old man sitting in the white sand
Think we're in for a big surprise
Right between the eyes

Seemed a good idea
To drop a bomb on the wasteland here
Only one man could be seen
And he was old and so serene
Captain sat in his deck chair
And the red light flashed Beware
Pilot felt quite big-time
As the bomb sailed through the air
Well, they danced and sang
When the bang went bang
When the lights popped out
And the smoke began to clear
It was positively queer

(CHORUS)

"Die" said the General
"Cobblers" said the man
So the Pentagon sent a cable
And the Queen a telegram
A-bombs, H-bombs, even very small ones
Ripped apart that sand
'Til the stench was just revolting
And the sky a greenish tan
But the soldier said "Sir,
there's a crack in the world"
And the figures went "squash",
and the bits flew far and wide
How the universe sighed!

(CHORUS twice)

When the smoke had blown away
There was nothing left to view
Except a man dear Lord who looked like you
Floating high up in the sky

[Glorious Glorfindel]

queen, the show must go on, possibly the best song ever.

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for ?
I guess I'm learning (I'm learning learning learning)
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning turning turning)
Round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah yeah
Ooh, inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Yeah yeah, whoa wo oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on (go on, go on, go on) yeah yeah
The show must go on (go on, go on, go on)
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On - with the show

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show
On with the show
The show - the show must go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on

Porcelain by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Drifting and floating and fading away
Porcelain
Do you smell like a girl when you smile
Can you bear not to share with your child
Drifting and floating and fading away

Little lune
All day
Little lune

Porcelain
Do you carry the moon in your womb
Someone said that you're fading too soon
Drifting and floating and fading away

Porcelain
Are you wasting away in your skin
Are you missing the love of your kin
Nodding and melting and fading away

Little lune
All day
Little lune...

[Elfmaster XK]

Oh oh oh!!!! I Love that song glorious Glorfindel...(can i jus call you GG - easier) are you a queen fan?

[Glorious Glorfindel]

yes please do call me GG, i am a huge fan of queen, as all of my headbanging buddies can tell you! i even created a whole thread dedicated to them in this forum!!!

[BeardofPants]

Pretty self-explanatory....

Artist Kraftwerk
Album Trans-Europe Express
Song The Hall of Mirrors

The young man stepped into the hall of mirrors
Where he discovered a reflection of himself
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass

Sometimes he saw his real face
And sometimes a stranger at his place
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass

He fell in love with the image of himself
and suddenly the picture was distorted
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass

He made up the person he wanted to be
And changed into a new personality
Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass

The artist is living in the mirror
With the echoes of himself
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass

Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass

Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass

Call me silly but just what is trite?

[Imladris]

This has to be one of my top five favourite songs of all time.

Fernando
ABBA (Sung by Agnetha and Annfried, written by Benny Andersson, Stig Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus).


Can you hear the drums Fernando?
I remember long ago another starry night like this
In the firelight Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar
I could hear the distant drums
And sounds of bugle calls were coming from afar

They were closer now Fernando
Every hour every minute seemed to last eternally
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of life and none of us prepared to die
And I'm not ashamed to say
The roar of guns and cannons almost made me cry


There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando


Now we're old and grey Fernando
And since many years I haven't seen a rifle in your hand
Can you hear the drums Fernando?
Do you still recall the frightful night we crossed the Rio Grande?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to fight for freedom in this land


There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando


There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
Yes, if I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando...

[Glorious Glorfindel]

trust by squeeze.

Trust in me my tongue is weeping
Words of love you must be needing
Trust me for the only reason
That our love will never weaken
Trust in me as someone you love
Trust in me a little closer
Trust the soul of every soldier
Trust in me each beat taps lightly
On your door so now invite me
Trust in me as someone you love

Someone that you love
Someone that you trust
Someone to love you more and more

Trust in me the words are woven
Words of love can not be broken
Trust before a night together
The secret's ours in trust forever
Trust in me as someone you love

[coffeeforever]

every breath you take, one for GG. sung originally by the police.

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take

I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay

I'll be watching you

Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches with every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you

Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake

I'll be watching you

[coffeeforever]

I CAN'T STAND LOSING YOU, the police. you know what i mean hannah.

I've called you so many times today
And I guess it's all true what your girlfriends say
That you don't ever want to see me again
And your brother's gonna kill me and he's six feet ten
I guess you'd call it cowardice
But I'm not prepared to go on like this

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't
I can't stand losing you

I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing

I guess this is our last goodbye
And you don't care so I won't cry
But you'll be sorry when I'm dead
And all this guilt will be on your head
I guess you'd call it suicide
But I'm too full to swallow my pride

I can't, I can't
I can't stand losing
I can't stand losing you

[Imladris]

Yeah!!! Every Breath You Take is another of my favourite songs.

[Glorious Glorfindel]

i like the every breath one, but i hate the can't stand losing you one. the lyrics are really weird. but then again, that could just be because i am weird.

[Garina]

Queen - the best band in the world!

Who wants to live forever?

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us?

Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever...?
There's no chance for us
It's all been decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.

Who wants to live forever?
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die.

But touch my tears
With your lips
Touch my world
With your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

[afro-elf]

thanks
thanks

[BeardofPants]

I'm sorry, I have to agree with A-E. Those last songs don't reflect anything particularly meaningful in terms of socio-political impact, etc.

Now:


God's Song (That's Why I Love Mankind). Randy Newman.


Cain slew Abel, Seth knew not why
For if the children of Israel were to multiply
Why must any of the children die?
So he asked the Lord
And the Lord said:

Man means nothing, he means less to me
Than the lowliest cactus flower
Or the humblest Yucca tree
He chases round this desert
'Cause he thinks that's where I'll be
That's why I love mankind

I recoil in horror fro the foulness of thee
From the squalor and the filth and the misery
How we laugh up here in heaven at the prayers you offer me
That's why I love mankind

The Christians and the Jews were having a jamboree
The Buddhists and the Hindus joined on satellite TV
They picked their four greatest priests
And they began to speak
They said, "Lord, a plague is on the world
Lord, no man is free
The temples that we built to you
Have tumbled into the sea
Lord, if you won't take care of us
Won't you please, please let us be?"
And the Lord said
And the Lord said

I burn down your cities-how blind you must be
I take from you your children and you say how blessed are we
You all must be crazy to put your faith in me
That's why I love mankind
You really need me
That's why I love mankind

[BeardofPants]

Peace frog. the Doors.

The significance is that the frog is a shamanistic representation of peace. The rest is pretty self explanatory. Blood on your hands, anybody?

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river runs down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying red rivers of weepin'
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood streams her brain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

[BeardofPants]

Revolution. John Lennon/Beatles.

You say you want a revolution,
well, you know,
we all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's evolution,
well, you know,
we all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
don't you know you can count me out.
Don't you know it's gonna be alright.
Alright. Alright.

You say you got a real solution,
well, you know,
we'd all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution,
well, you know,
we're doing what we can.
But when you want money for people with minds that hate,
all I can tell you is brother you have to wait.
Don't you know it's gonna be alright.
Alright. Alright.

You say you'll change the constitution,
well, you know,
we all want to change your head.
You tell me it's the institution,
well, you know,
you better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow.
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright.
Alright. Alright.

[BeardofPants]

Working Class Hero. John Lennon.

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so ****ing crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still ****ing peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill

A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

Opiate


Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
what you need is someone strong to use you.
like me,
like me.



If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me .
Don't judge or question.
You are broken now ,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.



My Gods will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.



Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
and your lies.

Parabol


So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.
Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wide eyed and hopeful.
Wide eyed and hopefully wild.

We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

Parabola


We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.

Anyway
Is This The World We Created?
Words and music by Freddie Mercury and Brian May

Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created

You know that every day a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by

Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that He created?

Black

pearl jam
.
Sheets of empty canvas.
Untouched sheets of clay were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul. As the earth to the sun.
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn.
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything.
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore.

And now my bitter hands shade beneath the clouds of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed every day.

I take a walk outside. I'm surrounded by some kids at play.
Oh, I can feel their laughter. Oh, so why do I sear?
Ooh, and twisted thoughts that spin around my head.
I'm spinning. Oh, I'm spinning.
How quick the sun can drop away.

And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything.
All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything.
All the love gone bad turned my world to black.
Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. Yeah.

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.
I know you'll be a star (sun) in somebody else's sky but why, why, why can't it be, oh, can't it be mine?

The Music Of The Night

Night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses Abandon their defenses

Slowly gently, night unfurls it's splendour
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind , let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be
Only then, can you belong to me

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication
Touch me. trust me, savour each sensation
Let the dream begin, let you darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night

You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

[Garina]

I love that song!

Cocaine Eyes
Neil Young

Ain't a day goes by
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by
I don't burn a little bit of my soul

Scored some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
When all is said and all is done
I'm the one

It's a long hard road when your friends
Start to leave you behind
It's a long hard road when you try
To find peace of mind
Some might go for poison
And some go for too much stuff
Some just go to sleep at night
And forget to wake up

Cocaine eyes
Can't hide your face
It's no surprise
You lose the race again

Ain't a day goes by
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by
I don't burn a little bit of my soul

Scored some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
'Cause when all is said and done
I'm the one

I'm the one, yeah

Cocaine eyes
It won't hide your face
It's no surprise
You lost the race once again my old friend

War of Man
Neil Young

The little creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again

Ears ringin' from the battle fire
The tired warrior aims a little higher
The black falcon or the little sparrow
The heating light of the flash of the barrel

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man

Silver man flyin' in the wind
Down through the planets on the run again
No one knows where they're runnin' to
But every kind is comin' two by two

Out on the delta where the hoofbeats pound
The daddy's runnin' on the frozen ground
Can't smell the poison as it follows him
Can't see the gas and machines, it's a war of man

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man

The windows open and the little girl dreams
The sky's her playground as she mounts her steed
Across the heavens to the other side
On wings of magic does the little girl ride

The baby creatures run in from the cold
Back to the nest just like the days of old
There in the safety of a mother's arms
The warmth of ages, far away from harm again

No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins
It's a war of man
No one wins

Tea party

Walking Wounded


Is it safe to look within
And to erase all that's been
And all that's been between
Is it gone, tell me what went wrong
'cause baby i'm not that strong

And I'm walking wounded
All Alone

Are you comfortable and numb
Do they all succumb to all those lies
Does it satisfy the greed
Is it all you need
Is it all you want
'cause baby i'm not that strong

And I'm walking wounded
All Alone

If your memories do stray
Then they'll betray all that's past
And all that's been between
Is it gone tell me what went wrong
'cause baby I'm not that strong

How does it feel?

TEA PARTY LYRICS

"Psychopomp"

You wanted this
So sad to see
The sweet decay
Of ecstasy

And you want it all

A frozen sun,
Will guide you there
As shadows hide
The deep despair

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away.

So sleep tonight,
In idle dreams
The pain will drown,
Your silent screams

And you want it all

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away
Lives you once adored
will fade away
Lies you can't ignore
You soon repay
As you fade away

[afro-elf]

TEA PARTY LYRICS

"Temptation"

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shacking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control

Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control

We exist in a world where the fear of
Iillusion is real
And we cling to the past to deny and confuse
The ideal
Once inside, we can conceive and believe in a god
we can't feel

Destined by a fate so cruel
And drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul
Temptation
I've lost all control

[afro-elf]

You didn't post who performed music of the night

Lyrics For Hollow

Run desire run
Sexual being
Run him like a blade
To and through the heart
No conscience
One Motive
Cater to the hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering
So grow
Libido throw
Dominoes of indiscretions down
Falling all around
In cycles
In circles
Constantly consuming
Conquer and devour

Cause it's time to bring the fire down
Bridle all this indiscretion
Long enough to edify
And permanently fill this hollow

Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacifying

[afro-elf]

perfect circle



Lyrics For Magdalena

Overcome by your
Moving temple
Overcome by this
Holiest of altars

So pure
So rare
To witness such an earthly goddess
That I've lost my self control
Beyond compelled to throw this dollar down before your
Holiest of altars

I'd sell
My soul
My self-esteem a dollar at a time

One chance
One kiss
One taste of you my magdalena

Charlotte the Harlot
by Iron maiden

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving.
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter?

*Chorus*:
Charlotte the Harlot show me your legs,
Charlotte the Harlot take me to bed.
Charlotte the Harlot let me see blood,
Charlotte the Harlot let me see love.

Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse?
You charge them a "fiver", It's only for starters.
And ten for the main course.
And you've got no feelings, they died long ago.
Don't you care who you let in?
And don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving.

*Chorus*

There was a time when you left me standing there,
Picking up pieces of love off the floor.
Well Charlotte you left me alone in there,
To make your ends as a bloody whore.
Well Charlotte you told me you love me true,
Picking up pieces of love yesterday.
Well Charlotte you're draws are off color too
'Cause you're making love all day.

IRON MAIDEN LYRICS

22, Acacia Avenue(the continuing saga of Charlotte the Harlot)
Harris/Smith


If you're feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 Acacia Avenue meet a lady that I know
So if you're looking for a good time
And you're prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for
Everybody's got their vice

If you're waiting for a long time for the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me and you might even get it free
So any time you're down the East End don't you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it she'll teach you more than you can know

Charlotte can't you get out from all this madness
Can't you see it only brings you sadness
When you entertain your men don't know the risk of getting disease

Some day when you're reaching the age of forty
I bet you'll regret the days when you were laying
Nobody then will want to know
You won't have any beautiful wares to show any more

22, the avenue that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside the red light's burning bright tonight

Charlotte isn't it time you stopped this mad life
Don't you ever think about the bad times
Why do you have to live this way
Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay

Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue
The way you walk it make men think of having you
When you're walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare at you

Beat her mistreat her do anything that you please
Bite her excite her make her get down on her knees
Abuse her misuse her she can take all that you've got
Caress her molest her she always does what you want

You're running away don't you know what you're doing
Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin
Charlotte you've taken your life and you've thrown it away
You believe that because what you're earning
Your life's good don't you know that you're hurting
All the people that love you don't cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling
It's no life for you stop all that screwing
You're packing your bags and you're _coming_ with me

ENIGMA LYRICS

"I Love You...I'Kill You"

I see love, I can see passion
I feel danger, I feel obsession
Don't play games with the ones who love you
Cause I hear a voice who says:
I love you... I'll kill you...
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room...
Look into the mirror of your soul
Love and hate are one in all
Sacrifice turns to revenge and believe me
You'll see the face who'll say:
I love you... I'll kill you...
But I'll love you forever
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room...

THE UPDATE

The Update

I Can Hear The Trumpets Blowing Screaming Out The End Of Time
Look Around And Listen And You'll See Every Sign
The Waters Are Polluted As The Forests Are Cut Down
Bombing And Drilling Deep Below Ground
Check The Prophecies From Around The World
And Look Around Now As It All Unfurls
Look Into Yourself And See What Goes On
Get A Feeling In Your Heart Of The Right From Wrong
Because The Mother Earth Needs To Be Respected
Been Far From Too Long That She's Been Neglected
Race Against Race, Such A Foolish Waste
It's Like Cutting Off Your Nose To Spit Your Face
And At The End Of The Wars, What Was The Cost
It's Clear That The Earth Was The One Who Lost
We Are One With Her As She Is One With Us
It's Unreal How She Is Treated So Unjust
As Our Planet Grows Smaller Each And Every Day
Everyone Affecting Everyone In Every Way
We're All Citizens Of The Worlds Community
All Here Together And We're Searching For Unity
Over The Years, I've Grown And Changed So Much
Things I Know Now Years Ago, I Couldn't Touch
There Are Things I've Done That I Wouldn't Do Again
But I'm Glad That I Did 'Cause I've Learned From Them
I Just Try To Stay Present Right Here, Right Now
No Worries, No Fears And Without Any Doubts
It's About Time


'Cause In These Times, These Changing Times
A Transition Is Occuring And I Am Not Blind
A The Pendlum Swings Aa a New Age We Enter
And With Every Swing, It Draws Closer To The Center
Yes The Storm Before The Calm And The Wars That Lead To Love
Things Must Run Their Course So We Push And We Shove
But We're Here To Work It Out In One Way Or Another
To Find A Mutual Respect For Ourselves And One Another
And The True Key Is A Trust In Self
For When I Trust Myself, I Fear No One Else
I Took Control Of My Life, Just As Anyone Can
I Want Everyone To See It's In The Palm Of Your Hand
The Past Is Gone, The Future Yet Unborn
But Right Here And Now Is Where It All Goes On
I Know We Can Fix It And It's Not Too Late
I Give Respect To King And His Nonviolent Ways
I Dream And I Hope And I Won't Forget
Someday I'm Going To Visit On a whim A Free Tibet
Someday I'm Going To See Us All Joined As One
And It Would Be Too Bad To Blow It Up Before We're Done
'Cause We Long Behind The Rage Learning From The Pain
The Love Behind The Tension Like The Sun Behind The Rain
I'm Sending Loving Light To All That Is
To All Creation And The Life We Live
I'm Not Preaching Bull ****, Just Speaking My Mind
'Cause I'm Here Now And It's About Time

[Elvellon]

Learning To Fly: Pink Floid


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

[mirrille]

And So It Goes
Billy Joel

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

I especially like the last verse. Now I just need to find someone to sing it to... :)

[Elvet]

Perfect by The The

It's a chilly English winter
And solitude is never easy to maintain
Except when it rains
So I hang an empty smile beneath my empty eyes
And go out for a walk
The wet morning sun reflects off the paving stones
While a little dog barks it head off
In the distance

Oh, what a perfect day
To think about my silly world
My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
What is there to fear from such a regular world?

Passing by a cemetery
I think of all the little hopes and dreams
That lie lifless and unfilled beneath the soil
I see an old man fingering his perishing flesh
He tells himself he was a good man and did good things
Amused and confused by life's little ironies
He swallows his bottle of distilled damnation

People turn around with unseeing eyes
They're looking for something that doesn't exist
The world you once knew is being eaten up by rust
No-one has time for the past
But still in God they trust
The future is now
But it's all going wrong
Bodies good for nothing
But it's to nothing they belong
People say their prayers and some work hard
If you give them all your money
They'll give you their hearts
This town ain't going like a ghost town
It's going like hell

Oh, what a perfect day
To think about my silly world
My feet are firmly screwed to the floor
What is there to fear from such a regular world?

[Rána Eressëa]

"Hero" by Chad Kroeger and Josey Scott, for hopefully obvious reasons.

I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven...no, heaven don't hear me

And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Someone told me
Love would all save us
But how can that be?
Look what love gave us
A world full of killing
And blood spilling
That world never came

And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Now that the world isn't ending
It's love that I'm sending to you
It isn't the love of a hero
And that's why I fear it won't do

And they say that a hero could save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away

[Rána Eressëa]

"After Me" by Saliva - the turning point of my new life was like this.

Caught out alone, and I'm trying to be free
Caught up in things that are inside of me
Looking for something that I cannot see
Losing my faith but I'm trying to believe

Trying to be free...

The world is after me
The world is after me

There feeding their jones, I'm reluctant to fight
Caught out alone at the end of the night
They're looking for victims and looking for me
I'm blind in my eyes, but I'm trying to see

Trying to see...

The world is after me
The whole world is after me

Feel like I'm caught in the ocean
There's always someone to help me down
The twisted tangled emotions
There's always someone to help me drown

Trying to believe
Trying to be free
Trying to see
Trying to see

The world is after me
The whole world is after me
The world is after me
The whole world is after me
The world is after me

[Handmaiden of Yavanna]

Incubus
Wish You Were Here

I dig my toes into the sand.
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds,
strewn across a blue plate.
I lean against the wind,
pretend that I am weightless,
and in this moment I am happy.
Happy

I Wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

I lay my head agains the sand,
the sky resembles a black lit canopy,
with holes punched in it.
I'm counting ufos,
I singnal them with my liter,
and in this moment I am happy.
Happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

(sorry I just love that song and I saw Incubus in concert not long ago so I'm still on that kick :D)

[Menelvagor]

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.

[Jadera]

EstE- Okiayu Ryoutarou
(It's an image song from Weiß Kreuz)

I may ask for nothing just now
But soon I'll be sick with memories
Thoughts of them, their cries as I left forever
All I'd like is one last chance to say goodbye, but

Stinging tears are wasted time and
My own needs are cast aside
EstE

I'm trained to be ruthless, and yet
These tears of mine won't stop flowing
Though I try, the stains of my sins won't leave me
Defiled, though still clean, their screams will linger, always

Trembling, I turn away but
I can never see redemption
EstE

Stinging tears are wasted time and
My own needs are cast aside
EstE

"Stay Young" by Oasis

One way out is all you're ever gonna get
From those who'll hand it out don't never let it upset you
Cos they'll put words into our mouths they're making us feel so ashamed

Making us take the blame
Making us cold in the night
Making us question my heart and soul
And I think that it's not quite right

Hey! stay young and invincible
Cos we know just what we are
And come what may we're unstoppable
Cos we know just what we are

Feed your head with all the things you need
When you're hungry
Stay in bed and sleep all day as long as it's Sunday
Cos they'll put words into your mouth they're making you feel so ashamed

-Laura

[Draken]

Cup of Coffee by Garbage

You told me you don't love me
Over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crash into dust
I just let it fade away

I'm walking empty streets
Hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
And I just have to pass on by
So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends

I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around on bed all day just staring at the walls
Hanging around bars at night wishing I had never been born
I give myself to anyone who wants to take me home

So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends

You left behind some clothes
My belly somersaults when I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stop returning all their calls

And no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all

It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me

[notthatinnocent]

"Talk Tonight" by Oasis

Sitting on my own
Chewing on a bone
A thousand million miles from home
When something hit me
Somwhere right between the eyes

Slepping on a plane
You know you can't complain
You took your last chance once again
I'm landed, stranded
Oddly even knew your name

I want to talk tonight
Until the morning light
About how you saved my life
You and me, see how we are
You and me, see how we are

All your dreams are made or strawberry lemanade
And you made sure I eat today
Take me, walking to where you played when you were young
And I'll never say that I
Won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say I don't know why
I know I'm, leaving
But I'll be back another day

I want to talk tonight
Until the morning light
I wanna talk tonight
About how you saved my life
I wanna talk tonight
About how you saved my life
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are

"Army Dreamers" by Kate Bush

Our little Army Boy,
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero.
Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder,
Four men in uniform to carry home
My little soldier.

Chorus
What could he do? Should have been a rock star.
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
What could he do? Should have been a politician,
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do? Should have been a father,
But he didn't even make it to his twenties.
What a waste,
Army Dreamers.

Tears o'er a tin box.
Oh Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He cannot win the war with ego.
Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons,
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.

Chorus

[Lizra]

Silly? What's silly.........I was serious.

[Lizra]

In an effort to redeem myself........I've selected a sledge hammer by the name of Bruce Springsteen, New Jersey's gift to women like me!!!

It's hard to be a Saint in the City


I had skin like leather and the diamond hard look of a cobra
I was born blue and weathered but I burst just like a supernova
I could walk like Brando right into the sun
Then dance just like a Casanova

With my blackjack and jacket and hair slicked sweet
Silver star studs on my duds like a Harley in heat
When I strut down the street I could hear it's heartbeat

The sisters fell back and said "Don't that man look pretty"
The cripple on the corner cried out "nickels for your pity"
Them downtown boys sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the city

I was the king of the alley I could talk some trash
I was the prince of the paupers crowned downtown at the begger's bash
I was the pimp's main prophet I kept everything cool
A backstreet gambler with the luck to lose
And when the heat came down it was left on the ground
The devil appeared like Jesus through the steam in the street

Showin' me a hand I knew even the cops couldn't beat
I felt his hot breath on my neck as I dove into the heat
It's so hard to be a saint when you're just a boy on the street

And the sages of the subway sit just like the living dead
As the tracks clack out the rhythm their eyes fixed straight ahead
They ride the line of balance and hold just by a thread
But it's too hot in these tunnels you can get hit up by the heat

You get up to get out at your next stop but they push you back down in your seat
Your heart starts beatin' faster as you struggle to your feet
Then you're outa that hole and back up on the street

And them south side sisters sure look pretty
The cripple on the corner cries out "Nickels for your pity"
And them downtown boys sure talk gritty
It's so hard to be a saint in the city.

She's Leaving Home - The Beatles

Wednesday morning at five oclock as the day begins;
Silently closing her bedroom door,
leaving the note that she hopes will say more.
She goes downstairs into the kitchen clutching her handkerchief.
Quietly turning the back door key,
stepping outside she is free.

She (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of our lives)
Home. (We gave her everything money could buy)

She's leaving home after living alone for so many year. (Bye, bye)

Father snores as his wife gets into her dressing gown.
Reading the letter that's lieing there,
Standing alone at the top of the stairs.
She breaks down and crys to her husband, 'Daddy, our baby's gone.
How could she treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?'

She (We never thought of ourselves)
Is leaving (never thought for ourselves)
Home (We struggled hard all our lives to get by)

She's leaving home after living alone for so many years (bye, bye)

Friday morning at 9 oclock she is far away.
Rushing to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from the motor trade.

She (What did we do that was wrong?)
Is having (we didn't know it was wrong)
Fun (fun is the one thing that money can't buy)

Something inside that was always denied for so many years.

She is leaving home. Bye. Bye.


AE: Nice thread, it's a nice thread to read at the insomniac hours of the morning (seriously, no sarcasm intended)

[Draken]

Thought I'd revive this thread having seen a version of this song on an Old Grey Whistle Test retrospective. A beautifully subtle anti-war song.


Shipbuilding by Elvis Costello

Is it worth it
A new winter coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children
Soon we'll be shipbuilding
Well I ask you
The boy said 'DAD THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE ME TO TASK
BUT I'LL BE BACK BY CHRISTMAS'
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The result of this shipbuilding
With all the will in the world
Diving for dear life
When we could be diving for pearls
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
And notifying the next of kin
Once again
It's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding
WITH ALL THE WILL IN THE WORLD
DIVING FOR DEAR LIFE
WHEN WE COULD BE DIVING FOR PEARLS

"Bring Him Home" From Les Miserables


God on high, hear my prayer
In my need, you have always been there
He is young, he's afraid
Let him rest, heaven blessed
Bring him home, Bring him home, Bring him home

He's like the son i might have known
If God had granted me a son
The summers die one by one
How soon they fly on and on
And I am old and will be gone

Bring him peace, bring him joy,
He is young, he is only a boy
You can take, you can give
Let him be, let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring...him...home

[Finrod Felagund]

Yes it's Les Mis again but it's a cool song!

Do You Hear The People Sing?

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of you heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of you heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Who will come up and take their chance
The blood of the martyrs
Shall water the meadows of France

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again
When the beating of you heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start when tomorrow comes

Frank Sinatra - I left my heart in San Francisco

The loveliness of Paris
Seems someshow sadly gay.
The glory that was Rome
Is of another day.

I've been terribly alone
And forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home
To my city by the bay.

I left my heart
In San Francisco
High on the hill

It calls to me.
To be where little cables cars
Climb halfaway to the stars!
The morning fog may chill the air.

I don't care!
My love waits there in San Francisco

Above the blue and windy sea.
When I come home to you

San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me!

I left my heart

Frank Sinatra - My Funny Valentine


My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine,
you make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable.
Yet, you´re my fav´rite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?
But don´t change on hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little Valentine, stay ! Each day is Valentine´s day.
Is your figure less than Greek ? Is your mouth a little wek ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?
But please, don´t change on hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little Valentine, stay ! Each day is Valentine´s day.

Sarah McLachlan (sp) - Adia


Adia I do believe I failed you.
Adia I know I've let you
Don't you know I tried so hard to
love you in my way? It's
easy let it go...

Adia I'm emp-ty since you left me,
Trying to find a way to car-ry on.
I search myself and ev-eryone to
see where we went wrong. There's
no one left to fin-ger, there's
no one here to blame; there's
no one left to talk to, honey and there
ain't no one to buy our innocence. 'Cause
we are born innocent.
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent. It's
easy, we all fal-ter. And does it matter?

(Same as above)
Adia I thought that we could make it
but I know I can't change the way you feel
I leave you with your misery
a friend who won't betray
I pull you from your tower
I take away your pain
and show you all the beauty you possess
if you'd only let yourself believe that
we are born innocent.
Believe me Adia, we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter. And does it matter?

(interlude)

'cause we are born inno-cent. Believe me,
Adia we are still innocent.It'seasy, we all fal-ter ... but does it matter?

(chorus)
(same as above)

(ending)
But does it matter?

Sarah McLachlan - Building a Mystery
Building A Mystery
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms

(chorus)
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful ****ed up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine
chorus x 3

Sarah McLachlan - Sweet Surrender

It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home

And sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

You take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
are you an angel
am I already that gone
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees

And sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

Sweet
sweet
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give

And I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall

I miss the little things
oh I miss everything

It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room.

I guess you can tell I like Sarah McLachlan eh?

Frank Sinatra - My Funny Valentine


My funny Valentine, sweet comic Valentine,
you make me smile with my heart.
Your looks are laughable, unphotographable.
Yet, you´re my fav´rite work of art.
Is your figure less than Greek ?
Is your mouth a little weak ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?
But don´t change on hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little Valentine, stay ! Each day is Valentine´s day.
Is your figure less than Greek ? Is your mouth a little wek ?
When you open it to speak, are you smart ?
But please, don´t change on hair for me, not if you care for me.
Stay little Valentine, stay ! Each day is Valentine´s day.

I love this song, but I like the Etta James version.

"When the Tigers Broke Free" by Pink Floyd (from the film version of The Wall but not on the original album)


It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the Generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the Anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives.

And old King George
Sent Mother a note
When he heard that father was gone.
It was, I recall,
In the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed
With his own rubber stamp.

It was dark all around.
There was frost in the ground
When the tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead,
The rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me.

[Coney]

The Crest by The Men They Couldn't Hang (a folk-rock song)

When your eyes behold this letter, Ill be deep within my grave
I've nothing left to give you, but for one last thing I've saved
In the corner of the cellar look inside the iron chest
Bearing seven silver medals there lies wrapped a wooden crest

From the father to the son
Like a bullet from a gun
Seven silver crosses hammered on a wooden one

The name on the last medal is a man I never knew
Though I bore his name and nature and his conscience as I grew
When they shipped him back from Passchendaele it was raining in his head
Not caused by any bullet but by the faces of the dead


From the father to the son
Like a bullet from a gun
Seven silver crosses hammered on a wooden one


When the boys came home from Dunkirk Beach, the crest came down to me
And I served as stretcher bearer up the back of Italy
But I didn't slow a bullet or blow any flesh apart
My medal was a red cross that was strapped across my heart

From the father to the son
Like a bullet from a gun
Seven silver crosses hammered on a wooden one

Many decades later I have seen the bounty drop
We scattered those generations now we reap a ruined crop
The brains, the brawn, the beauty each in turn were sacrificed
And marked up with a plain cross like the suffering Jesus Christ


From the father to the son
Like a bullet from a gun
Seven silver cases hammered on a wooden one

From the father to the son
Like a bullet from a gun
Seven silver crosses hammered on a wooden one


I wish that I could give you something fine and something proud
A history of stuggle to emancipate the crowd
But all I give's a blessing take the shield down to the sea
Sacrifice tradition and save your family

From the father to the son
Like a bullet from a gun
Seven silver crosses hammered on a wooden one

Bounty Hunter

I stand as a witness to a jury and judge
And for all my sins I will answer
My name you'll know my trade you'll see
I am the Bounty Hunter

I as no friendship, I seek no badge
I always travel alone
I take no partners, lose no friends
l keep my Christian name unknown

My weapons are guns and cunning and speed
My prize is the colour of green
And if my service is easily bought
My faith has never been

Dead or alive I carry them in
The cowardly and the silent
For seeking bounty belonging to you
The rope delivers a judgement

My weapons are guns and cunning and speed
My prize is the colour of green
And if my service is easily bought
My faith has never been
Spirit breaking, widow making Bounty hunter

Mine is the chase and the luck of the draw
Yours is the iron hand of the state
Yours is the book, the bell and the rope
Mine is the Gamblers fate

Debt-collecting sin-inspecting bounty hunter
Never failing devil trailing bounty hunter

I stand as a witness to a jury and judge
And for all my sins I will answer
My name you know, my trade you'll see
I am the Bounty Hunter

My weapons are guns and cunning and speed
My prize is the colour of green
If my service is easily bought
My faith has never been

Debt-collecting sin-inspecting bounty hunter
Never failing devil trailing bounty hunter

The Who- from the album Quadrophenia (if you havn't got it, what are you waiting for, it's in a store just down the street:) )

Helpless Dancer

When a man is running from his boss
Who hold a gun that fires "cost"
And people die from being cold
Or left alone because they're old
And bombs are dropped on fighting cats
And children's dreams are run with rats
If you complain you disappear
Just like the lesbians and queers
No one can love without the grace
Of some unseen and distant face
And you get beaten up by blacks
Who though they worked still got the sack
And when your soul tells you to hide
Your very right to die denied
And in the battle on the streets
You fight computers and receipts
And when a man is trying to change
But only causes further pain
You realize that all along
Something in us going wrong

You stop dancing.

[Aeryn]

My favorite (probably) ballad of all time (isn't really a ballad?)

Annie's Song by John Denver

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me give my life to you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again


Doesn't it make you sad? I mean, the way he sang it? Made me cry first time I heard it :) ...:D

[Finrod Felagund]

Make Them Hear You
-From the musical Ragtime

Go out and tel our story let it echoe far and wide,
Make them hear you, Make them hear you
How justice was our battle, and how justice was denied
Make them hear you, Make them hear you

And say to those who blame us
for the way we chose to fight
That sometimes there are battles
that are more than black or white

And I could not put down my sword when justice was my right
Make them hear you, Make them hear you

Go out and tell our story to your daughtrs and your sons
Make them hear you, Make them hear you
And tell them in our struggle we were not the only ones
Make them hear you, Make them hear you

Proclaim it from your pulpit, in your classroom, with your pen
Teach every child to raise his voice
And then my brothers, then
Will justice be demanded by ten million righteouss men
Make them hear you
When they hear you
I'll be near you again.











This is one of my new favourite songs

[Philia]

Fire and Rain by James Taylor

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

Been walking my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

Whoa, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you, baby, one more time again, now
Thought I'd see you one more time again

There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you fire and rain, now

:D


Aeryn, I agree with you about John Denver. He was a great singer, and a great attribute to the musical world. Same for Sinatra and some of the others you guys have posted.

[Philia]

Edit earlier post when I said "the other guys you have posted" I meant "Other people you guys have posted" okay? Beautimous.

Not a big fan of Elton John's but I like this song. Don't let the sun go down on me.

I ca´t light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
Im growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life

Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when i met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light

Dont let the sun go down on me
Although i search myself, i´s always someone else i see
´d just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me

I cant find oh, the romantic line
But see me once and see the way i feel
Don´t discard me just because you think i mean you harm
But these cuts i have, oh they need love to help them heal.

Linda Ronstadt - You're no good

Feelin' better
Now that we're through
Feelin' better
'Cos I'm over you.

I've learned my lesson, it left a scar
And now I see how you really are

*Chorus*
You're no good, you're no good
You're no good, oh baby you're no good
(I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, You're no good
You're no good, oh baby you're no good

Broke a heart
That's gentle and true
Well I broke a heart over someone like you
I begged his forgiveness on bended knee
But I wouldn't blame him if he said to me.

*Chorus*
You're no good, you're no good,
You're no good, baby you're no good
(I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good,
You're no good, baby you're no good
(no good)

I'm warning you now baby
An' I'm going away
Forget about you baby
I'm a-leaving to stay

You're no good, you're no good,
You're no good, baby you're no good
(I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good,
You're no good, baby you're no good
(no good)
I'm gunna say it again
You're no good, you're no good,
You're no good, baby you're no good
(I'm gonna say it again)
You're no good, you're no good,
You're no good, baby you're no good
(no good)

Michael Martin Murphey - Wildfire


She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire [x3]

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire [x3]

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire


(One of my favorite Folky song, was it silly? I hope it wasnt)

[Goldberry1]

"Driftwood" by Travis (I don't know if anyone has heard of them!)

Everything is open
Nothing is set in stone
Rivers turn to ocean
Oceans tide you home
Home is where the heart is
But your heart had to roam
Drifting over bridges
Never to return
Watching bridges turn

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bing you, grind you

Nobody is an island
Everything has to go
Pillars turn to butter
Butterflying low
Low is where your heart is
But your heart has to grow
Drifting under bridges
Never with the flow
And you really didn't think it could happen
But it really is the end of the line
So I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time

Everywhere ther's trouble
Nowhere's safe to go
Pushes turn to shovels
Shovelling the snow
Frozen you have chosen
The path you wish to go
Drifting now forever
And forever more
Until you reach your shore

You're driftwood floating underwater
Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces
Just driftwood hollow and of no use
Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you

And you really didn't think it could happen
But it really is the end of the line
And I'm sorry that you turned to driftwood
But you've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting for a long, long time
You've been drifting for a long, long
Drifting for a long, long, time

Sade - Smooth Operator

He's laughing with another girl
And playing with another heart.
Placing high stakes, making hearts ache.
He's loved in seven languages.
Diamond nights and ruby lights, high in the sky.
Heaven help him, when he falls.

Diamond life, lover boy.
We move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.
City lights and business nights.
When you require streetcar desire for higher heights.

No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
When sentiment is left to chance.
No place to be ending but somewhere to start.

No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Face to face, each classic case.
We shadow box and double cross,
Yet need the chase.

A license to love, insurance to hold.
Melts all your memories and change into gold.
His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold.

No need to ask.
He's a smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator.

Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male.
Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale.

Smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator,
smooth operator...

Another goody by John Denver

Take me home, Country Roads - John Denver :)

Almost heaven
West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains
Shenandoah River
Life is old there
older than the trees
younger than the mountains
growin' like a beeze

Country Roads
Take me home
To the place
I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
Take me home
Country roads

All my mem'ries
gather round her
Miner's lady
Stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty
Painted on the skies
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eyes

Country Roads
Take me home
To the place
I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
Take me home
Country roads

I hear her voice in the morning hours
She calls me
The radio reminds me of my home
Far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads
Take me home
To the place
I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
Take me home
Country roads

Country Roads
Take me home
To the place
I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mama
Take me home
Country roads

Take me home (down) country roads
Take me home (down) country roads.
:D

I don't know if this is silly, and I don't care if it is trite, all I know is I like it!

Saliva-Always

I hear... a voice say "Don't be so blind"...
it's telling me all these things...
that you would probably hide...
am I... your one and only desire...
am I the reason you breath...
or am I the reason you cry...

Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...

I feel... like you don't want me around...
I guess i'll pack all my things...
I guess i'll see you around...
Inside... it bottles up until now...
as I walk out your door...
all I hear is the sound...

Always... always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you...

I love you...
I hate you...lyricstop
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...

I left my head around your heart...
Why would you tear my world apart...

Always... always... always... always...

I see... the blood all over your hands...
does it make you feel... more like a man...
was it all... just a part of your plan...
this pistol's shakin' in my hands...
and all I hear is the sound...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I breathe you...
I taste you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I guess that i'm out the door...
and now i'm done with you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...

I love you...
I hate you...
I can't live without you...
I just can't take anymore...
this life of solitude...
I pick myself off the floor...
and now i'm done with you...
Always...
Always...

Hero of the Day- Anubis Dawn

Life in a heroic age
Where inner courage rules the day
Life with honor, dignity
Old style vision is what we need.
So few now have the will to fight
For what they did believe,
They prefer to hide away
In the hope that they will not be seen.

A moment of compassion,
Just one selfless action,
To risk it all for the least among your kin.

We need a Hero of the Day,
Someone we can rely on.
Be someone's Hero of the Day,
Be a shoulder they can cry on.

People of the world pretend
To be distant from their fellow man.
They try to hide themselves away
From the evils that torment them every day.
We must try to comprehend
that we are part of a master plan.
The questions that we always ask,
It's the answers we don't understand.

One kindness to a stranger,
Fearless in the face of danger,
To rescue someone from the depth of their pain.

We need a Hero of the Day,
Someone we can rely on.
Be someone's Hero of the Day,
Be a shoulder they can cry on.

We all now can play a part
And end this tragedy of the heart.
It doesn't matter about the scene,
Just be everything that you can be.
Remember this fact my friend,
That when our lives come to an end,
Immortality we'll maintain
If people still can speak our names.

A moment of compassion,
Just one selfless action,
To risk it all for the least among your kin.

We need a Hero of the Day,
Someone we can rely on.
Be someone's Hero of the Day,
Be a shoulder they can cry on.

Hero of the Day.

[Miranda]

My favourite song in the world has to be seasons of love from the musical rent by Jonathan Larson. It highlights my beliefs in what life should be about and I don't care if its a bit soppy its beautiful:) and really touching when you know that Jon never saw his musical open on Broadway- here goes.

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments so dear,
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights? In sunsets? In midnights? In cups of coffee?
In inches? In miles? In laughter? In strife?
In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure a year in a life?

How about love? What about love? How about love?
Measure in love. Seasons of love. Seasons of love.

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan,
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes,
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned? Or in times that he cried?
In bridges he burned? Or the way that she died?
Its time now, to sing out,
Though the story never ends.
Let's celebrate and remember a year in the life of friends.

Remember the love? Remember the love? Remember the love?
Measure in love. Seasons of love. Seasons of love.


To all those people I love- you know who you are- My Fellowship! Mx

[afro-elf]

is anyone familiar with a song titled "we are the average"

I think I saw it quoted in Vampire: the Masquerade

[afro-elf]

OOPS found it it is

we are the normal Goo Goo Dolls


We Are The Normal

It's a beautiful day I heard everybody say
The sun shines down for all of us
Just the same you know I like the rain
That ain't so obvious

It's a beautiful sight I guess everybody's right
This day belongs to all of us
Even still I like with a chill
That ain't so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful sound
When my life comes crashin down
That ain't so obvious
It's a beautiful sin and I'm doin' it again
And that ain't for all of us
It's a beautiful life and I've got it in my sights
Ain't that so obvious

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
There's no reason why...

We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why
We are the normal
We live and we die
With no reason why

Chorus:
How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever=20

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up it brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside=20

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on=20

Chorus=20

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside=20

Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for my soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

Chorus

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It's not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it's born again=20

Chorus

How long I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Song: Cat's in the Cradle

Child arrived just the other day,
Came to the world in the usual way,
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay,
He learned to walk while I was away,
And he was talkin' before I knew it and as he grew,
He'd say I'm gonna be like you dad,
I know I'm gonna be like you.

And the cat's in the cradle,
With the silver spoon,
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon,
When ya commin' home dad?
I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, yah,
Gonna have a good time then.

My son turned ten just the other day,
Said thanks for the ball dad,
Come on let's play.
Can ya teach me to throw?
I said not today,
I got alot to do,
He said thats okay,
And he walked away,
But he smiled every minute,
Said I'm gonna be like you, dad,
I know I'm gonna be like you.

And the cat's in the cradle,
With the silver spoon,
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon,
When ya commin' home dad?
I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, yah,
Gonna have a good time then.

Well he came from colledge just the other day,
So much like a man I just had to say,
Son I'm proud of you,
Can ya sit for awhile?
He shook his head and then said with a smile,
Wat I'd really like dad is to borrow the car keys,
See ya later.
Can I have them please?

And the cat's in the cradle,
With the silver spoon,
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon,
When ya commin' home son?
I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, yah,
Gonna have a good time then.

I've long since retired,
My son's moved away,
I called him up just the other day.
Said I'd like to see you if you don't mind.
He said I'd love to dad if I cold find the time,
You see the new jobs a hastle and the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you dad,
It's been sure nice talking t you,
Andas I hung up the phone it occured to m,
He'd grown up just like me,
My boy was jut like me.

And the cat's in the cradle,
With the silver spoon,
Little Boy Blue and the Man in the Moon,
When ya commin' home son?
I don't know when,
But we'll get together then, yah,
We're gonna have a good time then.

Blind Curve I): Vocal Under A Bloodlight by Marillion

Last night you said I was cold, untouchable.
A lonely piece of action from another town.
I just want to be free, I'm happy to be lonely.
Can't you stay away?
Just leave me alone with my thoughts.
Just a runaway, just a runaway,
I'm saving myself.

[Miranda]

My other half just sent these to me via email- had to share them. Gorgeous John Larson lyrics.

Your Eyes,

Your eyes, as we said our goodbyes,
Can't get them out of my mind,
And I find I can't hide,
From your eyes,
The one's that took me by surprise,
The night you came into my life,
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes.

How'd I let you slip away,
When I'm longing so to hold you,
Now I'd die for one more day,
'Cause there's something I should have told you,
There's something I should have told you,
When I looked into your eyes,
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along,
And before the song dies,
I should tell you,
I should tell you,
I have always loved you,
You can see it in my eyes.

Why'd ya have to go ad make hings so

[wahine]

I think it's so sweet when pop-stars think there rock stars. :rolleyes:

Disturbed-Darkness
Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll get the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

[Epona of Rohan]

I love you all! Savage Garden, Goo Goo Dolls, Sarah McLachlan... someone even put my current favorite song, "Wish You Were Here" by Incubus! *cries*

The Background - Third Eye Blind

Everything is quiet
Since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background

I do the things we did before
I walk Haight Street to the store
And they say where's that crazy girl
You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more
I don't see you anymore
Since the hospital

The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words we use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because
I carry you around
In the background

Ghosts they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
And I would never lie to you no
I would never lie to you no
I felt you long after we were through
When we were through

The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words we use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because
I carry you around
In the background

[WallRocker]

I'm gonna guess no one's ever heard of this band, but they're one of my favorites:

Artist : Benjamin Gate, The
Song : All Over Me
Album : ['untitled']

Wave come, wave fall.
Cast me on your broken shore.
Son come son fall.
Cast me on your love so warm.
Jesus' love is, Jesus' love is

Chorus
All over me, all over me
Your love is all over me
All over me, All over me
Your love is

Christ come Christ crawl
Nailed to a cross so tall
All come all fall
All walk with hearts so torn
Jesus' love is Jesus' love is

Chorus

[WallRocker]

Same with this band:

Artist : Pillar
Song : Indivisible
Album : Fireproof



For all the people in the world that don't understand
Exactly what it is we have here in this motherland
See the Father's hand started up a master plan
There's been many through the test of time take a stand
But had they ran who knows where we would be now
I thank God it's something I don't have to think about
Instead my thoughts are on the ones who laid it on the line
KIA gave their lives to let freedom shine
But in the meantime I think of those of your kind
And wonder how it is you get things so messed up inside your mind
Just think a second how long it's been going on before you
They're the one's who even helped you have the right to argue

Stop complaining move along
Open your eyes and see what's going on
We need to get back to the ways of the days of old
One nation under God indivisible

Chorus

All the people let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The people of the nation let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust

The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the motto taken off of the Benjamin Franklin
They got a problem with my God and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the money when they spend it
They're so offended by 4 words that need no explanation
In GOD we trust the motto of this greatest nation
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack a bag and you can leave

One nation under God indivisible
You can't take back that, that was never yours

The Leader/The Vision/What About Me? - Chris de Burgh

(technically these are 3 different songs, but they play together musically as one, so are being posted as such)

The Leader

I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign - a light in the sky.
Oh the message is clear that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;

A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again,

For it is written, that a leader will be here.
And then a vision, left me blinded by the light,
And it started right in front of my eyes...

The Vision

And I saw a burning chariot.
And the four horsemen of the apocalypse waiting on high,
And I heard the thunder rolling in,
And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky;

And I saw this land a battlefield,
With a hundred thousand men fighting hand to hand,
And I heard the sounds of victory
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies,

And I saw the fire from the sky
I saw fire, and I saw paradise,
Fire from the sun, I saw fire,
And I saw alpha and omega;

Fire, I saw fire,
And I saw paradise,
Fire, I saw fire;

What About Me?

I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
I have seen to the future, and the future is here,
Our leader will bring victory but our land is in flames,
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say...

What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
Well what about us?

[azalea]

I'm feeling depressed, so I have just listened to one of my favorite "depressed" songs (or anytime songs for that matter):

Black Peter by the Grateful Dead

All of my friends come to see me last night;
I was layin' in my bed and dyin'.
Anyone knows from Sam and Jim
say the weather down here so fine.
Just then the wind came squallin' through the door,
But who can the weather command?
Just wanna have a little peace to die
And a friend or two I love at hand.
Fever rolled up to a hundred and five;
Roll on up, gonna roll back down.
One more day I find myself alive,
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.
See here how everything lead up to this day,
And it's just like any other day that's ever been,
Sun comin' up and then the sun it goin' down,
Shine through my window and my friends they come around...
Come around...
Come around...
The people might know but the people don't care
That a man could be as poor as me.
Take a look at poor Peter, he's lyin' in pain,
Now let's go run and see...
Run and see...
Run and see...
Run, run and see...
Hey and see...

[Baby-K]

Supervixen (Garbage)

Come down to my house, stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out if you like it too much

Make a whole new religion:
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsessions
There'll be nothing but this...thing that you'll never doubt

It is hard to resist and I have never missed
I can take you out with just a flick of my wrist

Make a whole new religion:
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsessions
There is nothing than this...thing that you'll never doubt
This thing you'll never doubt

And I'll feed your obsessions
The falling star that you cannot live without
I will be your religion
This thing you'll never doubt
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Bow down to me.............

Now I want it too much
Now I want it to stop
Now I'm looking like a falling star just fell over me (x2)

[wahine]

Azalea, I love grateful dead. Great song, at least I think. Here's mine.

Metallica
King Nothing
Load

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this wish tonight
Are you satisfied?

Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle crumbled
And you've left with just a name

Where's your crown?
King nothing

Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart hard as gold
Are you satisfied

Wish I may
Wish I might
You wish your life away
Are you pacified

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight

I want the star
I want it now
I want it all and i don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it

Careful what you wish
You just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

(Note: This is from a very bad memory.)

[afro-elf]

Gary Moore

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun



It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
They want to fight

There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun



There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

Out in the fields
Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun




In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

[Draken]

Nice one A-E.... ahh Phil Lynott, what a rock hero he was...

Anyway...


Common People by Pulp

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-cola.
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me?
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

[Insidious Rex]

Radiohead: Creep

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so f*ckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so f*ckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so f*ckin' special
I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

[Insidious Rex]

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
---
*Bob plays beautiful acoustic for a bit*
---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

kay I have two but I'll put them on seperate things

Title:You can't take me
Artist: Bryan Adams
Album: Spirit (yes I knoe it's a kid movie but i love the lyrics and the songs)

Chorus
Don't judge a thing till you know what's inside it
Don't push me I'll fight it
Never gonna give inNever gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride it
You can't some, univited
Never gonna give in- Never gonna give it up no
You can't take me- I'm free

[Aralyn]

Title: Believe
Artist: Newsboys
Album:Stepping up to the microphone

. . . In this world turning gray strikes a chord when I say
there is black, there is white
there is wrong and there is right
there is no alibi if it's not the truth its . .?

Falling for the truth again

not by the wisdom of a man or a machine

this is not preference or a taste that disagrees

the evidence of things unseen

the more you look the more you see . .

[Insidious Rex]

Led Zeppelin
The Battle Of Evermore

Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

[Insidious Rex]

JACK OFF JILL

"When I Am Queen"

When I am queen I will insist with perfect scars upon my wrists
that everything you once held dear is taken away from you

When I am queen sweet girlscout's face and not a one will fall from grace. If all their hearts I could replace, but until then I'll have to...

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown.....

When I am queen on royal throne made out of parts of broken bones of all the devils I have known that suck the angels dry

When I am queen I'll have my way I'll make it drowning dollie day
and all the tears that we have cried will suck back in our eyes

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Hush baby hush baby
Hush baby go to sleep
Hush baby hush baby
Hush baby I'll make it be

When I am queen I will not wait my body type will still be great
I will not leave it up to fate because I hate you too

When I am queen they all will see the patron saint of self-injury
the glitter sores will heal themselves I'll play the part of someone else

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Yeah! Another Newsboys fan! I'm so happy:D Here's one of my favorites by the boys from Down Under:

Artist : Newsboys
Song : Lost The Plot


When You come back again
would You bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumor that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.

Sigh.
Let's be blunt.
I'm a little distracted.
What do You want?

Headaches and bad faith
are all that I've got.
First I misplaced the ending
then I lost the plot.

Out among free-range sheep
while the big birds sharpen their claws.
For a time we stuck with the Shepherd
but You wouldn't play Santa Claus

Sigh.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little distracted.
What do You want?

Once we could follow,
now we cannot.
You would not fit our image,
so we lost the plot

Once we could hear You.
Now our senses are shot.
We've fogotten our first love.
We have lost the plot.

When I saw You for the first time
You were hanging with a thief.
And I knew my hands were dirty,
and I dropped my gaze.
Then You said I was forgiven
and You welcomed me with laughter.
I was happy ever after.
I was counting the days
when You'd come back again.
We'll be waiting for You.
When You comin' back again?
We'll be ready for You.
Maybe we'll wake up when...
maybe we'll wake up when
You come back again.

Lies.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little unfaithful.
What do You want?

Are You still listening?
'Cause we're obviously not.
We've forgotten our first love.
We have lost the plot.

And why are You still calling?
You forgave, we forgot.
We're such experts at stalling
that we lost the plot.
lost the plot.

When You come back again
would You bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumor that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.

[Smaug]

Can't believe this is ten years old already. This one always gets a double play when it comes up in my MP3 player.

"Everyday Glory", from Counterparts, by Rush

In the house where nobody laughs
And nobody sleeps
In the house where love lies dying
And the shadows creep
A little girl hides, shaking,
With her hands on her ears
Pushing back the tears, 'til the pain disappears

Mama says some ugly words
Daddy pounds the wall
They can fight about their little girl later
But right now, they don't care at all
No matter what they say...
No matter what they say...

EVERYDAY PEOPLE
EVERYDAY SHAME
EVERYDAY PROMISE
SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES

EVERYDAY SUNRISE
ANOTHER EVERYDAY STORY
RISE FROM THE ASHES -
A BLAZE OF EVERYDAY GLORY

In the city where nobody smiles
And nobody dreams
In the city where desperation
Drives the bored to extremes

Just one spark of decency
Against the starless night
One glow of hope and dignity
A child can follow the light
No matter what they say
No matter what they say...

If the future's looking dark
We're the ones that have to shine
If there's no one in control
We're the ones who draw the line
Though we live in trying times -
We're the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings -
We're the ones who have to fly

Levellers -100 Years Of Solitude


All around you feel decay
Wanna feel the sun of a new day
Forget the chances that you lost
Shedding innocence like falling dust
All the things you learned too young
The songs you knew but never sung
Waited a long time and wasted more
Forgotten what you waited for

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude
Feels like 100 years of solitude
My mind is numb but my mouth's okay
And you can listen or just walk away

No solutions built to last
Just petty scores to settle fast
The N.M.E. was nothing to you
And the maker, well, the maker of who?
This walkman generation
In search of sweet sedation
While forests choke under a lever sky
And the Exxon birds that will never fly

Excuse me ma'am for being so rude
Feels like 100 years of solitude
My mind is numb but my mouth's okay
And you can listen or just walk away

We tried, we cried, we fell, we lied
This life's like a white knuckel ride

Crack babies born too young
And L.A. kids who dance to the gun
So forget this so called dirt of mine
It's just the dust and diesel of passing time
It's all around you - a tragedy, look
So forget the cover and read the book

[Coney]

Levellers-Elation


Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind


And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes
For he knew that there were those who would will her to die
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet
And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep


I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child


So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free
And the next time you're crying come running to me


I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child


So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields
And he came to a river where she waited for him
And they looked at the water of life flowing by
And he heard a voice saying 'you're not alone in the fight'


I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother - I'll be your mystical child
Be your best friend, your lover - Your wife for all time
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child

Tori Amos - Silent all these years

Excuse me but can I be you for a while,
My dog won't bite if you sit real still,
I got the anti-Christ in the kitchen yellin' at me again
Yeah I can hear that
Been saved again by the garbage truck
I got something to say you know but nothing comes
Yes I know what you think of me you never shut up
Yeah I can hear that

But what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care 'cause
Sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these years

So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts
What's so amazing about really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you
My scream got lost in a paper cup
I think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got 25 bucks and a cracker do you think it's enough
To get us there 'cause...

What if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care 'cause
Sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these -

Years go by, will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by if I'm stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds raining in my hand
Years go by, will I choke on my tears
'Til finally there is nothing left
One more casualty you know
We're too easy easy easy...

Well I love the way we communicate
Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
And baby don't look up, the sky is falling
Your mother shows up in a nasty dress
It's your turn now to stand where I stand
Everybody lookin' at you
You take hold of my hand
Yeah I can hear them...

But what if I'm a mermaid, in these jeans of yours
With her name still on it
Hey but I don't care 'cause
Sometimes, I said sometimes
I hear my voice
I hear my voice
I hear my voice and it's been here
Silent all these years

I've been here
Silent all these years
Silent
All these
Silent all these years

BLACKBIRD
The Beatles

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Tori Amos - Happy Phantom (I won't post another Tori lyric, I promise)

And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
and I'll go chasin' the nuns out in the yard
and I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
and I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields everyday
and the atrocities of school I can forgive
The happy phantom has no right to bitch

Oo who- The time is getting closer
Oo who- Time to be a ghost
Oo who- Everyday we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we've been

So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin' my naughties like a jewel
They'll be my ticket to the universal opera
There's Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand
and then these seven little men get up to dance
They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angel to the girl who hates to sin

Oo whoo- The time is gettin closer
Oo who- The time to be a ghost
Oo who- Everyday we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I've been

Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back
You found a girl that you could truly love again
Will you still call for me when she falls asleep
or do we soon forget the things we cannot see

Oo who- The time is getting closer
Oo who- The time to be a ghost
Oo who- Everyday we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been

And if I die today
And if I die today
And if I die today
Chasin' nuns out in the yard

Levellers - The Riverflow (last Levellers one, promise)


I met you in 82, over a crate of beer and not a few
I cracked a can and so did you, we're going to change the world
The ghetto kings of downside town-the estates and parks, our hallowed ground
Doing anything that we found, and on the river flowed

You'd take a drink from Rev. Jimmy Jones
You'd cross the street on the path the gunman roams
Thrown aside and left to waste, that was you - you knew your place
Wander round, get off your face, and on the river flowed

On and on the river flow - we are the undertow
On and on the river flow - we are the undertow

I don't know how you made it through all the smoke and brew you do
It sure has left its mark on you but you're still with us today
Life goes on and round we go and words can kill these things I know
Sometimes you cut deeply so, but on the river flows

You'd set the table for barber Sweeney Todd
You'd clip the wings of any rising god
But man can't live on hope alone, it can be cut all that is grown
Broke your spirit but not your bones and on the river flows

On and on the river flow - we are the undertow
On and on the river flow - we are the undertow

You're working now - forced to the race
I know it left a bitter taste
But the rising tide had covered your face
Nothing you could do
But I still remember the day you said
That the river flowing through my head
Would take me far or leave me dead
And all you said was true

Yeah so sad and beautiful isnt it. Oh and nice lyric in your signature. (it was The Who if anyone is reading this 10 months from now).

[Baby-K]

I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around
Well, I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
My love for her is taking such a long time to die

I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
It's almost like, almost like I don't exist
I'm twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound

The walls of pride are high and wide
Can't see over to the other side
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away

One look at you and I'm out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I'm twenty miles out of town in Cold irons bound

There's too many people, too many to recall
I thought some of 'm were friends of mine; I was wrong about 'm all
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

I found my world, found my world in you
But your love just hasn't proved true
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
Some things last longer than you think they will
There are some kind of things you can never kill

It's you and you only, I'm been thinking about
But you can't see in and it's hard lookin' out
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

Well the fats in the fire and the water's in the tank
The whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank
I tried to love and protect you because I cared
I'm gonna remember forever the joy that we shared

Looking at you and I'm on my bended knee
You have no idea what you do to me
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

My new fav song by my new fav band :D .

Just a phase- Incubus

I am bottled fizzy water
and you were shaking me up
you are a fingernail running down
the chalkboard I thought I left in third grade
now my only consolation
is that this could not last forever
even though you're singing and thinking
how well you've got it made

Who are you?
when will you be through?
yeah, it's just a phase
it will be over soon
yeah, it's just a phase
yeah, it's just a... phase

Call it women's intuition
but I think I'm on to something here
temporaryism has been the black plague
and the Jesus of our age
I know that I sound opinionated
maybe biased and quite possibly jaded
but sooner than later they'll be
throwing quarters at you on the stage

Who are you?
when will you be through?
yeah, it's just a phase
it will be over soon
yeah, it's just a... phase
and I am waiting for it to be over too

The boatman


If I could choose the life I pleased
Then I would be a boatman
Along the canals and the rivers free
No hasty words are spoken
My only law, the river breeze
Would take me to the open seas
If I could choose the life I pleased
Then I would be a boatman

If I could choose the life I pleased
Then I would be a rover
And if the road was not for me
Then I would choose another
Across the mountains and the valleys deep
I would take these weary feet
If I could choose the life I pleased
Then I would be a rover

But these things are so hard for me
I cannot choose my own destiny
And all the things that I want to see
Are so unclear

I wish I could choose the life I please
But I am not a free man
Others choose my destiny
But my will's never broken
I know someday I will be
Everything that I dreamed I’d be

And when I live the life I please, then I will be a free man

And when I live the life I please. then I will be a free man!

Maybe an Angel - Heather Nova

I put my hands
Where your wings should be
I put my feet
Where the earth should be

And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been

I've got this light
Hangs over me
I've got this fear
Cuts into me

And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been

See how they run
And nobody said you would go
See how they fall

And I can't see very far
And when you said that you were dead I hung on

Something I feel
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been
Something out here
You are an angel, or maybe you could've been

See how they run
You are an angel
See how they run
All the same, all the same
Something out here
You are an angel

The Warmth - Incubus

I'd like to close my eyes, go numb
but there's a cold wind coming from
the top of the highest high rise today
it's not a breeze cause it blows hard
yes and it wants me to discard
the humanity I know
watched the warmth blow away

So don't let the world bring you down
not everyone here is that ****ed up and cold
remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old

So do you think I should adhere
to that pressing new frontier
and leave in my wake, a trail of fear
should I hold my head up high
and throw a wrench in spokes by
leaving the air behind me clear

So don't let the world bring you down
not everyone here is that ****ed up and cold
remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old

So don't let the world bring you down
not everyone here is that ****ed up and cold
remember why you came and while you're alive
experience the warmth before you grow old
before you grow old
where did it go?
where did it go?
where did it go?
where did it go?

I Am a Rock
Simon and Garfunkel

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December
I am alone
Gazing from my window
To the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need for friendship
Friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.

I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
Well, I've heard the word before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber
Of feelings that have died
If I'd never loved,
I never would have cried

I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no-one and no-one touches me

I am a rock
I am an island
And the rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

[Starr Polish]

Grey Street, by Dave Matthews Band

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street

She thinks, “Hey,
How did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world,
But I can’t get out of this place”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn’t listen
There’s still a hope in her it might

She says, “I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place”

There’s loneliness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart

There’s a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It’d take the work out of the courage

But she says, “Please
There’s a crazy man that’s creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street and the end of the world”

There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey

Carry Me


When you're standing by the road side
And it's a long way to go
Oh to carry me
To carry me
Carry me
Carry me friend
Oh to carry me

And together in this mad land
Far from the truest of hands
Well I'll carry you
If you'll carry me
Carry me
Carry me friend
Oh carry me

And we'll patrol bomb the state
We blow away the hate
But we'll do it in our mind
If we can take the time
We'll build ourselves a road
From what we know
Each take our parts
But now's the time to start
Oh yeah it is
Oh we must be
Oh we must be
Oh we must be

But Jane is takin heroin
And Paul is getting pissed
Steve is getting stoned
And to ****ed to fight
Sara's on the acid
And Sean has blown his mind
Someone's busy hiding
To ****ed to fight
Yeah some have found religion
And some have run away
And some they form a party to find a way
And there is a way

Yeah some they join the system
And some just look away
But some must bite their backsides
To find a way

And there is a way
Yes there is a way
Yes there is a way

When you're standing by the road side
And it's a long way to go
Well I'll carry you
If you'll carry me
Carry me
Carry me friend
Well I'll carry you

AUDIOSLAVE

Like A Stone

On a cold wet
Afternoon
No room for love and emptiness
By a freeway
I confess I was lost in the pages
Of a book
Full of death
Reading how we'll die alone
And if a god will lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go

In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

And on my death bed
I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan
To anyone who will take me to heaven
To a place
I would recall
I was there so long ago
The sky was bruised
The world was black
And there you led me on

In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone

In all I read
Till the day was gone
And I sat in regret
In all the things I've done
For all that I've blessed
And all that I've wronged
In dreams till my death
I will wonder on

In your house
I long to be
Room by room
Patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone
Alone

Do you think I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you think that I am blind
nothing left for me to lose?
Must be something on your mind
something lost and left behind
Do you know I’m faking now?

Do you know I’m faking
when I’m lying next to you?
Do you know that I am blind to everything you ever do?
Must be something on your mind
something lost for me to find
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

I guess you know I’m faking
when I tell you I love you
I guess you know that I am blind
to everything you say and do
Must be something on my mind
there’s nothing left for me to hide
Do you know I’m faking?

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man

We have to succumb to the feelings we can never face
I need you. I breathe you.
I can’t go through this all again.
We have to succumb to
the feelings we can never face I need you.
I breathe you. I can’t go through this…

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before

Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before on him
Then she told me she had a gun
it sounded like she’d used it once before, oh man
Then she told me she had a gun
she says she wants to use it on me now…

Wanna bug you
Wanna squeeze you

I'm probably posting some obscure bands, but they all rock. Literally.

Social Burn
Down

Tell me, how does it feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you say to me
You make me feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

And tell me, how should I feel
And all the games you play, on me
You still make feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(And all the things you do)
(Like nothing, like nothing, like nothing)

Tell me, how should this feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you do, to me
This makes me feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

(When you break me down)
(Break me down)

I'm nothing

Trapt
Headstrong

Circling your head contemplating everything you ever said
Now I see the truth I got a doubt
A different motive in your eyes and now I'm out
See you later
I see your fantasy you want to make a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads
Well that's over
I see your motives inside and decision to hide

[Chorus]
Back off we'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong we're Headstrong
Back off We'll take you on
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
This is not where you belong

I can't give anything away
I won't give everything away

Conclusions manifest your first impressions got to be your very best
I see you're full of **** and that's alright
That's how you play I guess you get through every night
Now that's over
I see your fantasy you want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads
Well that's all over
I see your motives inside and decision to hide

[Chorus]

I can't give anything away
I won't give everything away

I know I know all about
I know I know all about
I know I know all about
I know I know all about your motives inside and decision to hide

Theory of a deadman
Make up your mind

Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening?
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
I'll sit back and relax and wait for the morning

We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time

Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
The last time you yelled at me I swore that I heard you say
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
I'l sit back and relax and wait for the morning

We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time

When will we make up, will we break up?
Let's wake up, let's wake up, let's wake up

Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening?
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking

We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time
Let's wake up, let's make up and do this
for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
Let's wake up, let's make up

Nothing could come between us

Well I'm running back and forth from here to South Carolina
Wishing you were here, I guess I should watch what I wish for

You're right on time, so invite me in
this is where your trouble begins
But I like you better than the other ones
You say I'm right when you know I'm wrong
we could never just get along
Don't you hate when it gets stuck in your mouth
and then those words get in the way
She said...

Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same

You're so damn relentless, and you will find,
the two of us are like two of a kind
But it hits you harder than the other ones
You said it loosely, when I'm just sitting here with myself
Don't you hate when it gets stuck in your mouth
and then those words get in the way
She said...

Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is

It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale

Nothing could come, oh nothing could come
She said...

Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is

Oh nothing, oh nothing, oh nothing
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale

Die for Oil Sucker

Jello Biafra (the lead singer of Dead Kennedys)



you are just about the ripe age to be drafted. does that bother you? do you even think about that? there was a sign at jonestown behind jim jones' dead body and it said "those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." which would you rather sacrifice your hot car or your life?

die for oil, sucker.

born on the firecracker fourth of july raised on football and mtv, never felt what its like to have to fight to stay free. Vietnam just a time life book memory. the mask is off again this time nobody cares but you can't keep dancing if your legs are blown away.

die for oil, sucker.

you too can get you face shot off so arms race tycoons won't have to get a real job. the cold war is over, it was all a mirage. we could use that money we got problems to solve, but were not allowed at the peace dividend because our psycho president has got his head in the sand. saddam hussain so egocentric, he even replaced Mickey mouse on watches with his own face. last spring he was our tyrant we thought we could use. we supplied him with all his guns and his nerve gas too. right now its the world's first tabloid war. there they are on cnn, flinging mud back and forth. if all wars were treated like game shows, great! the world would be a much happier place. but it won't last long with these egos involved. one shot at saddam he's going bomb Israel. after that hiroshima will look like a picnic and we'll all die for oil, sucker.

you too can get your spinal cord snapped to save greedy kings from the greed of iraq. give your life for a country where women can't vote and people still get their hands and heads chopped off. in saudi arabia they stone you to death for sleeping with another person's husband or wife. women can't go out alone, or show their face or even drive. and there's never elections, you can't even ask why. but they finally did outlaw slavery in 1962, so progress is being made. and they're sitting on something we can learn to live without but certain fat cat's bank accounts cannot, oil.

for this you get to be all you can be, a dead army, navy, air force, marine. come home one of those deranged unemployed vets, the kind they love to make tv cop shows about. just like tom cruise in a wheelchair. no film royalties cause nobody cares about you once you've been used to die for oil, sucker.

kill, kill, kill the poor even faster that crack, send them off to war make sure they don't come back. give them tanks that fall apart and helicopters that crash. 2000 died in panama cause the stealth can't shoot straight. 800 million dollar batman plane and it doesn't even work. no surprise when their idea of national security is screwdrivers costing 1800 bucks. a little sand in the engine can stop a naval destroyer. saddam hussain knows this but our networks don't report it as we die for oil, sucker.

and is it really worth it in this day and age to come out the winners of world war 3? think about it. once we take over that place well never ever beable to leave. bush talks about bombing a path to Baghdad 75 miles wide. and if the big bad wolf still won't give up we're going to drop the nuclear bomb and after that we'll just waltz right in to colonize their hearts and minds. but the arab people will be so damn mad we'll be lucky to get out of there alive. after that do you think any arab country will sell us oil?

think of the cost to keep our army there when the only way left to force oil out of the ground is soldiers guns treating arabs like slaves or was that all part of the plan. how long do you think that could possibly last?

they found a scam to replace the cold war it's called die for oil, sucker.

what's so sick about this is that theres is a better way. stop selling guns to arabs and to Israel. don't need to keep ourselves hostage to oil, use our star wars know how to build solar powered cars. one clerk in the patent office might be all it would take to find blueprints for a solar car general motors shelved away. but no thats to easy and theres money to be made, especially if you already have more than you'll ever need. for those of us who can't buy our way out like rich folks like dan quale do its burn you draft card, burn the flag, and burn the pentagon too.

so be all you can be and say no the air force, army, marines. get off your butt before your butt's blown off. don't die for oil, don't be a sucker.

My friend of Misery

You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear,
And knowing only what you've heard
You...you're smothered in tragedy,
And you're out to save the world

Misery!
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery!
There's much more to life than what you see
My Friend Of Misery!

You still stood there screaming!
No-one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You...you'll take it on all yourself
(Remember), Misery loves company

Misery!
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My Friend Of Misery!

Misery!
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders

Unforgiven

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules

With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

[instrumental solo]

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven...

I shall Believe

Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believe

I'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe
And I shall believe

Open the door
And show me your face tonight
I know it's true
No one heals me like you
And you hold the key

Never again
would I turn away from you
I'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way
You think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right
It all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe
And I shall believe

BLOW UP THE OUTSIDE WORLD
Soundgarden

Nothing
seems to kill me
no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
no...

And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall
nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible
I know

I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world

Someone
tried to tell me something
Don't let the world bring you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help

I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world

*trippy dark echoing guitar solo*

Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside world

Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
Blow up the outside
etc....

System of a down- BOOM



I've been walking through your streets,
Where all your money's earning,
Where all your building's crying
And clueless neckties working,
Revolving fake lawn houses,
Housing all your fears,
Desensitized by TV,
Overbearing advertising,
God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures
Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information,
For the public eye,
Designed for profiteering,
Your neighbor, what a guy.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

Modern globalization,
Coupled with condemnations,
Unnecessary death,
Matador corporations,
Puppeting your frustrations,
With the blinded flag,
Manufacturing consent,
Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money,
Nobody gives a ****.
4000 hungry children leave us per hour,
From starvation,
While billions are spent on bombs,
Creating death showers.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM

Why, why, why, why must we kill, kill, kill, kill
Our own, own, own, own kind...

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb,
You kill the god your child has born,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM
Every time you drop the bomb.

Saliva- Rest in Pieces

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
It just shot down my spine
You look so beautiful tonight
Remind me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my life
Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces
Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I'm in your reach
You held me in your hands
But could you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (I-V)

(dunno if these have been done before, flookit' if they have, this is the encore)

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Come on with daftnes, with laughter, with you!
You'll shine, I know......

Beautiful - Flickerstick

You could be the devil in my bed
You could be the angel in my head
You could be the voices that I hear
I'm singing along because it sounds
Just like you're near

'Cause you're so beautiful
Beautiful today
You're so beautiful
Beautiful in every little way
Cause when you're coming around
I'm off of the ground
I've gotta say, you're so beautiful
You're beautiful today

I could be the drug you can't resist
I could be the antidote you missed
I could be the love you hate to fear
You're filling the hole inside your heart
with feeling near to me


Can we make it through?
Together we've got to fly
Don't you know I got to fly?
'Cause when you're coming around I got to fly
Don't you know I wanna fly?
And I know
And I feel
That I could learn to hate just like you
And I know
And I feel
That you could learn to love just like me

Can we make it through together?
I got to fly

Beautiful Affair - Reel

When ya feel like laying low
And the mountains seem no closer than before
And you wonder why
You know in your mind that there's nowhere to hide
And the only way is living to survive
Makes ya feel alive
When all the doors swing open
Your life's unfolding before your very eyes
Such a strange affair

Walking around, come into the sound
Forget your doubts,
Feel the air
It's a beautiful affair

There comes a time when ya looking around
And you see the ocean rise before your eyes
Showing no surprise
Make ya way down to the shore
And you climb aboard and give yourself a smile
Makes ya feel alive
Whenever the doors swing open,
Your life's unfolding before your very eyes
Such a strange affair

Walking around, come into the sound,
Forget your doubts,
Feel the air
It's a beautiful affair

Whenever the doors swing open,
Your life's unfolding before your very eyes Such a strange affair

Walking around, come into the sound,
Forget your doubts,
Feel the air
Beautiful affair

See how the the doors swing open, your life's unfolding before your very eyes
Such a strange affair

Walking around, come into the sound,
Forget your doubts,
Feel the air
It's a beautiful affair

Learning to Fly - Tom Petty

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down, as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well the good ol' days, may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out, for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

I'm learning to fly

I'm learning to fly

[Baby-K]

For my dear friend who is going through a particularly rough time right now. I hope that these words bring some comfort.

Death is not the end - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

When you're sad and when you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you held sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end

And there's no one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Up in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end

When you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

This song was stuck in my head after watching the news.... i wonder why

REM- Its the end of the world

That's great,
it starts with an earthquake,
birds and snakes,
an aeroplane –
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane,
listen to yourself churn –
world serves its own needs,
don't misserve your own needs.
Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no.
Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height.
Wire in a fire,
represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site.
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered crop.
Look at that low plane! Fine then.
Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself.
World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed.
Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour.
Don't get caught in foreign tower.
Slash and burn, return,
listen to yourself churn.
Lock him in uniform and book burning,
blood letting.
Every motive escalate.
Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle,
light a motive.
Step down, step down.
Watch a heel crush, crush.
Uh oh, this means no fear - cavalier.
Renegade and steer clear!
A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night
I tripped a nice continental drift divide.
Mount St. Edelite.
Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Breshnev,
Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel
fine...fine...

Artist : Switchfoot
Song : Meant To Live
Album: The Beautiful Letdown

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

Brain Damage

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games
and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade
you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Ahhh-Floyd. Beautiful.

John Mayer- Your Body is a Wonderland.
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

'Cause if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

you want love?
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

Queen of the Stoneage - No One Knows

We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows

We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold

Oh, what you do to me
No one knows

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
Ahh

I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I found low

I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone

Pleasently caving in
I come undone

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool of mine
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool and mine
Ahhh

Heaven smiles above me
What a gift there below
But no one knows

A gift that you give to me
No one knows

Breaking Benjamin--Skin

Well I know you don't know the reason

'cause you're old, and battered and beaten
and we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah

send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else
come up for the weekend
I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

well it's gone and it's not returning
and your clothes and pictures are burning
'cause you're old, and battered and beaten
and we'll grow, til we hit the ceiling, yeah

oh we better, get away
send a letter, bombs away
you're covered in my skin
I couldn't imagine anyone else

I couldn't imagine why you would save yourself

Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo

Con questa gioia che mi stringe il cuore
A quattro cinque giorni da Natale
Un misto tra incanto e dolore
Ripenso a quando ho fatto io del male
E di persone ce ne sono tante
Buoni pretesti sempre troppo pochi
Tra desideri, labirinti e fuochi
Comincio un nuovo anno io chiedendoti..
Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo

Dire che sto bene con te Þ poco
Dire che sto male con te.. Þ un gioco!
Un misto tra tregua e rivoluzione
Credo sia una buona occasione
Con questa magia di Natale
Per ricordarti quanto sei speciale
Tra le contraddizioni e i tuoi difetti
Io cerco ancora di volerti

Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo

Qui la rabbia Þ senza misura... io senza di te.. non lo so
E la notte balla da sola... senza di te non baller=
Capitano abbatti le mura... che da solo non ce la far=

Perdono... si quel che Þ fatto Þ fatto io per= chiedo

My Beloved Monster - The Eels

(Thanx Freddie)

My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together
Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves
Gets us through all kinds of weather

She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from livin' in a a world that's so damn mean

My beloved monster is tough
If she wants she will disrobe you
But if you lay her down for a kiss
Her little heart it could explode

She will always be the only thing
That comes between me and the awful sting
That comes from livin' in a world that's so damn mean

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Social Burn- Down

Tell me, how does it feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you say to me
You make me feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

And tell me, how should I feel
And all the games you play, on me
You still make feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(When you break me down)
(And all the things you do)
(Like nothing, like nothing, like nothing)

Tell me, how should this feel
When it comes to you
And all the things you do, to me
This makes me feel like nothing
Like nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

When you break me down
I'll fall apart and
Wrestle with myself, inside
I'm nothing

(When you break me down)
(Break me down)

I'm nothing

Since we are feeling Floydy...

Waiting for the Worms

Oooo You cannot reach me now,
Oooo No matter how you try.
Goodbye cruel world, it's over.
Walk on by.

Sitting in a bunker,
Here behind my wall,
Waiting for the worms to come. ( Worms to come. )
In perfect isolation,
Here behind my wall,
Waiting for the worms to come. ( Worms to come. )

Waiting, to cut out the deadwood.
Waiting, to clean up the city.
Waiting, to follow the worms.
Waiting, to put on a black shirt.
Waiting, to weed out the weaklings.
Waiting, to smash in their windows and kick in their doors.
Waiting, for the final solution to strengthen the strain.
Waiting, to follow the worms.
Waiting, to turn on the showers and fire the ovens.
Waiting, for the queers and the coons and the Reds and the Jews.
Waiting, to follow the worms.

Would you like to see Britannia,
Rule again, my friend?
All you have to do is follow the worms.
Would you like to send our colored cousins,
Home again, my friend?
All you need to do is follow the worms.

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain you would not understand
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

O.K.
Just a little pinprick.
There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good.
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go.

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

That's my anthem:D

To be evil, I never liked that song, never liked Another Brick in the Wall either though...

I alwasy liked the ones that only made sense when intoxicated.

Yup. he is a stan-up comedian, famous for being a semi-transvestite/boring fart.

[wahine]

Lol- that's close to my impression about him, I saw him on like...HBO or something a few days ago, and found his humor bland. Hoped I wasn't the only one.

I like Denis Leary's and John Leguizamo's stand up bit better.

HOPE ST - (My favourite Levellers song)

There's a young boy in the queue
Not much else for him to do
He's had a drink, he's had a few
Down the pub on Hope Street

Dear old lady you're looking thin
Got a shopping bag with your life in
Your old man's going through the bins
So it goes on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt of this old town
Tell the sun to come around
And show his face on Hope Street

There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
Blew his money for the week
on a horse called Hope Street

No old faces out today
Someone took them all away
Cleaning up or so they say
The dirty face of Hope Street

Everyday I look at you
Dressed up in your ties of blue
Saying there's not much you can do
To help the kids on Hope Street

They don't seem to even care
That it was you that put them there
You seem to think they like it there
Hanging out on Hope Street

Peace Train
Cat Stevens

Now I've been happy lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh I've been smiling lately, dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be, some day it's going to come

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately, thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be, something good has begun

Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller

Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train

Get your bags together, go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer, it soon will be with you

Now come and join the living, it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer, soon it will all be true

Now I've been crying lately, thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating, why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country, come take me home again

Olivers Army by Elvis Costello

Don't start that talking
I could talk all night
My mind was sleep walking
While I'm putting the world to rights
Call careers information
Have you got yourself an occupation
Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army is on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else than here today

There was a checkpoint charlie
He didn't crack a smile
But it's no laughing party
When you've been on the murder mile
All it takes is one itchy trigger
One more widow one less white nigger
Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else, but here today

Hong Kong is up for grabs
London is full of Arabs
We could be in Palestine
Overrun by a Chinese line
With the boys from the Mersey and the Thames and the Tyne

But there's no danger
It's a professional career
Though it could be arranged
With just a word in Mr. Churchill's ear
If you're out of luck or out of work
We could send you to Johannesburg

Olivers Army is here to stay
Olivers army are on their way
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today
And I would rather be anywhere else, than here today
oh oh oh ooohhh

Thought I'd do a new one...that I like...and you won't...:rolleyes:

Ra
Do You Call My Name? *I sing it "scream" sorry for you*

Some people seem to think
They always know what's best for you
Their little minds try to
Create a world to keep you still

The bolt is thrown, the cage is locked
You saw this, don't you lie
At first you cry and then you hate
Those people stole your will

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
Cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
No nothing

Do you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymore

Do you call my name?
Do you breed my pain?
My heart is bloody
And I can't take it anymore

So you just sit there stuck
Afraid to risk reality
Afraid to cause yourself more pain
To face insanity

But nothing ventured, nothing gained
You see, your fear's your cage
You beg for help but you're alone
Stuck in a helpless rage

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
Cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario

(It's me)

(I see)

(Please)

(Let me out I'm petrified)

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
Cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
C'mon

Do you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymore

Nonsense really, but the music is great.

John Mayer - My Stupid Mouth

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now

A very trite song (got me soppy head on)

Oaisis- Songbird

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a place not far away
She's a little pilot in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
I never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

The live version is best IMO (from the 95/96 European tour - think the album's called Headlights, White Lines, Black Tar Rivers?)

Definitely worth another listen & another & have some scotch with that eh? ;)

Yup - that's the name of the album - for some reason I always want to say Headlines, White Lights, Black Tar Rivers - but a rumble through the cd box set me straight. Love he writing in the cd cover - I should stop, this is giving me flashbacks :D

All Possibilities - Badly Drawn Boy

All possibilities
Are landing at my feet
There's nothing I can see
But possibilities

All colours are changing in my eyes
Your hopes are all fading, that will never do
You're seeing the world through cynical eyes
I'm seeing the world through the eyes of somebody new
Oh there's a hope left, there's a dream still in my heart
Look past the answers, there's a chance that there's no rulebook for this love

All possibilities
Are landing at my feet
There's nothing I can see
But possibilities

All the colours are changing in my eyes
Your hopes are all fading, that will never do
You're seeing the world through cynical eyes
I'm seeing the world through the eyes of somebody new

Oh there's a hope left, there's a dream still in my heart
Look past the answers, there's a chance that there's no rulebook for this love

Song: May I have this dance

Maybe its your laughter
Maybe its the magic in your eyes
Maybe your an angel
cause hope is always dancing in your eyes
I cant imagine
a more beautiful girl than you
May i have the honor of sharing a melody or two

May I have this dance
May i lead you across the floor
may i take your hand
and spin you around and round once mor
May I hold you close
before the evning is through
May I have this dance with you

I know it sounds corny but I like it

Exquisite Dead Guy by They Might Be Giants

Exquisite dead guy, outside my high-rise apartment
Exquisite dead guy, hanging from a sky-hook
Exquisite dead guy, rotating in his display case
Exquisite dead guy, swear I saw his mouth move
How'm I 'sposed to let you know... the way I feel... about you?
How'm I 'sposed to let you know... the way I feel... about you?

[Ornelírë Mistë]

The Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd is instrumental, but there are quiet parts with some words

"I'm not frightened of dyin', any time will do I dont mind. Why should I be frightened of dyin'? There's no reason for it we all got to go sometime."

"I never said I was frightened of dying."

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."

Get this song, it's on Dark Side of the Moon. I adore it.

[Miranda]

Just had to post one of my favourite songs in the world- "Never Be Mine" by Kate Bush.

I look at you and see
My life that might have been
Your face just ghostly in the smoke.
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home.
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here.

This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
The thrill and the hurting
I know that this will never be mine.

I want you as the dream
Not the reality
That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me
But I'm looking back over my shoulder
At you, happy without me.

This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine
The thrill and the hurting
It will never be mine.
It can never be
The thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine.

Song : Beautiful Letdown

it was a beautiful let down
when i crashed and burned
when i found myself alone unknown and hurt
it was a beautiful letdown
the day i knew
that all the riches this world had to offer me
would never do

in a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt
i was trying so hard to fit in, fit in,
until i found out
i don't belong here
i don't belong here
i will carry your cross and your song
but i don't belong

it was a beautiful letdown
when you found me here
yeah for once in a blue moon i see everything clear
i'll be your beautiful letdown
thats what i've ever been
and even if it costs my soul
i'll sing for free
we still chasin our tails in the rising time
in our dark third planet
when no one fights and no one's one

see i don't belong here
i will carry your cross and your song
but i don't belong here
i'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come
kingdom come
Your kingdom come
won't you let me down yeah
let my foolish proud
forever let me down

easy living not much left for pain
easy dieing hey they're just abou the same
won't you please take me off your list
easy living please come on and let me down

we are a beautiful let down,
painfully uncool,
the church of the dropouts
and loosers and sinners and failures and the fools
oh what a beautiful let down
all resolved in the womb
and join us He wants you too

I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Feels like I don't belong here
Let me down
Let me down
Feels like I'm let down
Let me down.
cause I don't belong here
Please
Won't you let me down?

Song : Gone



she told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
but the problem keeps on calling
even with the cellphone gone
she told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
but her world keeps spinning backwards
and upsidedown
don't say so long in the cellphone
don't spend today away
cause today will soon be

gone, like yesterday is gone,
like history is
gone, just trying to prove me wrong
and pretend like your immortal

she said he said live like no tomorrow
every day we borrow
brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)
where your treasure, where's your hope
forget the world and lose your soul
she pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
don't say so long
your not that far gone
this could be your big chance to makeup
today till soon be

gone, like yeterday is gone,
like history is gone,
the world keeps spinning on,
your going going gone,
like sumemr break is gone,
like saturday is gone
just trying to prove me wrong
you pretend like your immortal your immortal

we are not infinite
we are not permanate
nothing is immediate
we're so confident
in our accomplishments
look at how dark it is

gone, like Frank Sinatra
like Elvis and his mom
like Al Pichino's cash nothing lasts in this life
my highschool dreams are gone
my childhood sweets are gone
life is a day that doesn't last for long

life is more than money
time was never money
time was never cash,
life is still more than girls
life is more than hundred dollar bills
and oh the town fills
life more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
all the riches of the kings
and up in wills we got information in the information age
but do we know what life is
outside of our conveinent Lexus cages

she said he said live like no tomorrow
every moment that we borrow
brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash
hey Bono i'm glad you asked
life is still worth living, life is still worth living

[Ornelírë Mistë]

One of my favorites!
Artist: Talking Heads
Song: And She Was

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all
Up above the yard

CHORUS

She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isn't sure where she's gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she's done
And she was

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions

CHORUS

Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)
Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)

[Celebréiel]

I love this song
This is not an Exit by Saves the Day

Tonight will be , the night that we
Begin to ease, the plugs out of the dam

And we will stand ,
knee deep in the flow
The undertow will grab
our heels and won't let go

And while we hold,
our legs quivering
The water rises now
to our teeth when we just let go

Chorus: And sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping our backs
To breathe in the air will be
The only thing that we have

And all the wasted nights
And empty moments in our lives
Flushed away
As we sway with the rhythm

Of the waves
Bobbing us up
Crests fall to troughs
Feel our gills open up

Chorus

And if the hook sets in
The bottom of our lungs
We'll rip it out and
Lick the blood off with our tongues

Despair
Can ravage you
If you turn your head around
And look down the path

That's led you here
Cause what can you change?
You're a vessel now
Floating down the waterways

You can take your rudder
And aim your ship
Just don't bother
With the things left in your wake

Just sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping your back
To the breathe in the air will be
The only thing that you have

And your love will be warm nights
With pockets of moonlight
Spotlighting you as you drift,
The actor in this play

And you walk across the stage
Take a bow and hear the applause
And as the curtain falls
Just know you did it all

The best that you knew how
And you can hear them cheerin' now
So let a smile and show your teeth
Cause you know you lived it well

But We’ll Meet Again On The Other Side
Be Good To The Children And Old People First
Hand Them A Drink They’re Dying Of Thirst

Strangely enough I've had their song "Brothers of Metal" stuck in my head the whole day.

yeah, that happened to me all the time too, when I first startyed to listen to them. Now, it's usually "Hail and Kill", since it's chorus is a lot easier to remember ;)

[Ragnarok]

Band: Opeth

Song: Black Rose Immortal

In the name of desperation
I call your name
A lamentation I sigh
Again and again

Spiritual eclipse
The gateways are closed for me to seek

The night...
A veil of stars, watching
My shadow is born from light
The light of the eye, in darkness

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper

I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust

Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun

Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows glid the archways

Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my lonliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious

Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd

I have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hiddin inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
Black rose immortal

It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan as if they knew
At night I always dream of you

[afro-elf]

I forgot this one by Rush

ARTIST: Rush
TITLE: The Trees


There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced the're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light

But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light

Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw

[Aralyn]

Sevendust-- B!tch

I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through

Don't tell me
I can't imagine to be like you
All the pain and the suffering I go through
You surround yourself with evil
Every night that you have is an equal

Don't hesitate
Or you'll live in your own hell
Out of my way
You're surrounded by evil
Don't hesitate
You can get away
Out of my way
Out of my way (huh)

The dark clouds that follow you
The rainy days will always find you
You can never get away
Evil comes another day

Don't hesitate
Or you live in your own hell
Out of my way you're surrounded by evil
Don't hesitate, you can't get away

I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through

Step up and
I can't imagine to be like you
All the pain and the suffering I go through
You surround yourself with evil
I hope it catches you up

I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through WOAH!
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through

Taproot--Mine

When I look into your eyes, you help me realign
Ensure me of just how to be myself inside
I’m in control of everything
It’s taking time but that’s ok
I can bring you to my side

You’re my blessing in disguise
You’re mine (You’re mine)
You’re mine (You’re mine)

You’re my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now

When my focal point is set
I’m something I know I'll get
It’s not a question of how but more of when
You are one commodity
The choice is mine and mine for keeps
I can bring you to my side

You’re my blessing in disguise
You’re mine (You’re mine)
You’re mine (You’re mine)

You’re my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now

When I look into your eyes, you help me realign
And show me just where my dedication lies
I’m in control of everything it’s taking toll but that’s ok
I can bring you to my side

You’re my blessing in disguise
You’re mine (You’re mine)
You’re mine (You’re mine)

You’re my blessing in disguise
You make me realize
Just how and where I want to be
Years from now

far from truest of hands
well I'll carry you
if you carry me
carry me friend

and well petrol Bomb the state
we'll blow away the hate
we'll do it in our minds
when we can take the time
we'll build a road
from waht we know
each taking a part
and now's the time to start

But Jane's taking Heroin
and Paul is getting pissed
Steve is getting stoned
to ****ed to fight
Sarah's on Acid
and Sean has blown his mind
someone's busy hiding
to ****ed to fight

Some have found religion
and some have run away
and some they formed a party
to find a way
some joined the system
some still look away
and some just bite their backsides
to find a way

There is a way ...

So, when you're standing by the roadside
and there's a long way to go
I'll carry you
if you carry me
carry me, friend
well I'll carry you

Rockin' song Coney! I love the Levellers- ever been to one of their concerts? They completely rock!!! My drama teacher knows them- he's a Brighton boy but I've yet to persuade him to introduce us! Mx

[Legoles]

Gollum's song*LOR* not sure who its by
Where once was light,
now darkness falls,
where once was love,
love is no more,
don't say god-bye,
don't say I did'nt try,
These tears we cry,
are falling rain,
for all the lies you told us,
the hurt, the blame!
and we will weep,
to be so alone ,
we are lost we can never go home.
And in the end,
I'll be what I will be,
no loyal friend,
was ever there for me,
Now we say goodbye,
we say you did'nt try,
these tears you cry,
are far too late,
take back the lies,
the hurt, the blame!
and you will weep as you face the end alone,
you are lost you can never go home!
You are lost you can never go home!

[Ragnarok]

Artist: Opeth
Song: Hope Leaves


In the corner beside my window
There hangs a lonely photograph
There is no reason
I'd never notice a memory that could hold me back

There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place

Gone through days without talking
There is a comfort in silence
So used to losing all ambition
And struggling to maintain what's left

There is a wound that's always bleeding
There is a road I'm always walking
And I know you'll never return to this place

And once undone, there is only smoke
Burning in my eyes to blind
To cover up what really happened
And force the darkness unto me

[Insidious Rex]

THIS ONES FOR BOP!! WOOPS! I MEAN SHEEEENA! hee hee....

Otherside

Red Hot Chili Peppers

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

I heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I've got to take it on the otherside

Centuries are what it meant to me
A cemetery where I marry the sea
Stranger things could never change my mind
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Pour my life into a paper cup
The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts
She wants to know am I still a slut
I've got to take it on the otherside

Scarlet starlet and she's in my bed
A candidate for a soul mate bled
Push the trigger and pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Turn me on take me for a hard ride
Burn me out leave me on the otherside
I yell and tell it that
It's not my friend
I tear it down I tear it down
And then it’s born again

How long how long will I slide
Separate my side I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

How long, how long will I slide
To separate my side, I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slit my throat
It's all I ever

Lamb of God - By Marilyn Manson

There was Christ in a metal shell,
There was blood on the pavement,
The camera will make you God,
Thats how Jack became sainted.

If you die when theres no one watching,
Then your ratings drop and your forgotten,
But if they kill you on their TV,
Your a martyr and a lamb of god.
Nothings going to change,
Nothings going to change the world.

There was Lennon in the happy gun,
There were words on the pavement,
We were looking for the lamb of god,
We were looking for Mark David.

If you die when theres no one watching,
Then your ratings drop and your forgotten,
But if they kill you on their TV,
Your a martyr and a lamb of god.
Nothings going to change the world,
Nothings going to change,
Nothings going to change the world,
Nothings going to change... the world.

It took three days for him to die,
So the born again could buy the serial rights,
Lamb of god have mercy on us,
Lamb of god would you grant us.

Nothings going to change the world,
Nothings going to change,
Nothings going to change the world,
Nothings going to change... the world.
If you die when theres no one watching,
Then your ratings drop and your forgotten,
But if they kill you on their TV,
Your a martyr and a lamb of god.
Nothings going to change the world.

Dead God - MM

Rewrite the consitution.
Let's justify the revolution.
The end is here.

If you're a part of the institution.
You're not a part of the solution.
Bow down to fear.

I, I, I am the president.
I, I, the emperor.
I, I, I am the king of the world.

The only good god is a dead god.
The only god good for me.
The only good god is a dead god, baby.
The only damn god I need.

Don't draw your own conclusion.
Submit to the grand illusion.
Get on your knees.

There will be no absolution.
No final step of evolution.
The end is near.

I, I, I am the president.
I, I, the emperor.
I, I, I am the king of the world.

The only good god is a dead god.
The only god good for me.
The only good god is a dead god, baby.
The only damn god I need.

The only good god is a dead god.
The only god good for me.
The only good god is a dead god, baby.
The only damn god I need.

Your world means nothing to me.
Your saviors a fool still in your dreams.
And when you're wrapped in your blame,
Fullfill your own prophecy.
No skin off my teeth.

The only good god is a dead god.
The only god good for me.
The only good god is a dead god, baby.
The only damn god I need.

The only good god is a dead god.
The only god good for me.
The only good god is a dead god, baby.
The only ****ing god I need.

I killed your king of the saint.
Chaos come onto me.
I am free.
And when you're ultimately,
Consumed by your own ****ing greed.
You will see.

" I'm Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman "


Well I'm finding it harder
to be a gentleman every day
all the manners that I've been taught
have slowly died away
but if I held the door open for you
It wouldn't make your day

You think that I care
about me and only me
when every single girl needs help
climbing up a tree
well I know it don't take much
to satisfy me

Maybe it's whatever's in my head
that's distracting me
but if i could find emotion
to stimulate devotion
well then you'd see

Well I'm finding it hard to say
that I need you twenty times a day
I feel comfortable so baby why
don't you feel the same?
have a doctor come and visit us
and tell us which one is sane

Well I never said I wouldn't
Throw my jacket in the mud for you
but my father gave it to me so
maybe I should carry you
then you said
"You almost dropped me"
so then I did
and I got mud on my shoes

Oasis - Songbird

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a past not far away
She's a little pirate in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

(for Diane)

And the encore :)

Oasis - The Hindu Times

I get up when I'm down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I've got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

Cos god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
Cos god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
Running through my veins
Cos you're my sunshine
You're my rain

Theres a light that shines on
Shines on me
And it keeps me warm
It gave me peace
I must say
I cant sleep
Cos the world wont wait

Cos god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
Cos god give me a soul
In your rock n' roll babe
I can get so high I just can't feel it
I can get so high I just can't feel it

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
Running through my veins
Cos you're my sunshine
You're my rain

Opeth
song: The Night and the Silent Water

And so you left us
Jaded and gaunt, some September
Wilted with the seasons
But hidden inside the delusion
I saw you eyes, somewhere

Devoid of death
The aura poises amidst (the storm)
In solid tears I linger
A parlour glade, moonlit sorrow

Lonely resting pools
Relics of the moon-dogged lake
Whisper: "All your words are missgiven"

Am I like them?
Those who mourn and turn away
Those who would give anything
To see you again
If only for another second

Your face was, like the photograph
Painted white
We did not speak very often about it
What does it matter now?

Cloak of autumn shroud
I gaze, dim ricochet of stars
I reckon it is time for me to leave

You sleep in the light
Yet the night and the silent water
Still so dark

[Coney]

Oasis - Little By Little

We the people fight for our existence
We don't claim to be perfect but we're free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be

Y'know I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Cause little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wills of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here

Dream perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it's true
The day has come and now you have to accept
The life inside your head we give to you

No I didn't mean
What I just said
But my god woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don't matter now

Cause little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wills of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here

(Hey!)

Little by little
We gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little
The wills of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little
You have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why
You're really here

Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

Rock is Dead - MM (Mechanical Animals)
All simple monkeys, with alien babies
amphetimenes for boys
crucifixes for ladies
sampled and soulless
worldwide and realwebbed
you sell all the living
for a more safer dead

anything to belong

Rock, is deader than dead
Shock, is all in your head
your sex and your dope is all that were fed
so **** all your protests and put them to bed

God is in the TV
Rock la la la la la Rock la la la la-la la Rock la la la la la Rock la la la la-la la

1000 mothers are praying for it
and were so full of hope
and so full of ****
build a new god
to medicate and to ape
sell us ersatz
dressed up and real fake

anything to belong

Rock, is deader than dead
Shock, is all in your head
your sex and your dope is all that were fed
so **** all your protests and put them to bed

God is in the TV
Rock la la la la la Rock la la la la-la la Rock la la la la la Rock la la la la-la la

" I'm Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman "




Hey hun, are you dedicating a White Stripes song to me? ;) (Well, I'll just pretend you did anyway)



Angel - Levellers

(I mentioned this as one of my anthems / song that describes me)

When I dream,
I get pictures of the world I’ve never seen
I’m playing parts upon the silver screen
I’m anything my dream wants me to be
The picture always ends with you and me

There are times, that you need to look
a little deeper down inside
you might not always like the things you find
you may find you’re running out of time
but the truth is always there for you to find

there’s an angel, watching over me
we’ve got angels, the kind that
burns and I can’t see
there’s an angel, watching over me

when the nightmares come
and the hounds of hunt surround me
when the thick comes on
let the devil sends his dogs to find me
when the nightmares come
and the hounds of hunt surround me
let the thick come on
let the devil sends his dogs to find me

when I dream, I get pictures
of the world I’ve never seen
I’m playing parts upon the silver screen
I’m anything my dream needs me to be
the picture always ends with you and me

there’s an angel
Watching over me
We’ve got angels
the kind that burns and I can’t see
there’s an angel
watching over me
There’s an angel
The kind that burns and I can’t see
It keeps watching over me
Watching you and me
There’s an angel there for you and me

Oh well, Oasis at least is a good choice - imagine if you had been listening to the Backstreet Boys & decided to post their lyrics :eek:

And brace yerselves, 'cos I'm posting a Matchbox 20 song (which I happen to like so :p )

Last Beautiful Girl

This will all fall down like everything else that was
This too shall pass and all of the words we said
We can't take back

Now every fool in town would've left by now
I can't replace all the wasted days
The memory of your face-can't help
thinkin'

Maybe if we ever coulda kept it all together
Where would we be
A thousand lost forevers
And the promises you never were giving me
Here's what I'm thinking

It wont be the first heart that you break
You wont be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

Tell me one more time
How you're sorry about the way
This all went down you needed to find your space
You needed to still be friends
You needed me to
Call you if I ever couldn't keep it all together
You'd comfort me
You'd tell me but forever
And the promises I never should have believed in
Here's what I'm thinking

It wont be the first heart that you break
You wont be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

It's over now and I've gone without
Cuz you're everyone else's girl
It seems to me you'll always be
Everyone else's girl

This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And all of the words we said
We can't take back

It wont be the first heart that you break
You wont be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl

It wont be the first heart that you break
You wont be the last beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked wont take you back
If you were the last beautiful girl in the world

Last beautiful girl...
You were the last beautiful girl

The White Stripes Lyrics

" You've Got Her In Your Pocket "

You've got her in your pocket
And there's no way out now
Put it in the safe and lock it
'cause it's at home sweet home

Nobody ever told you that it was the wrong way
To trick a woman, make her feel she did it her way
And you'll be there if she ever feels blue
And you'll be there when she finds someone new
What to do
Well you know

You keep her in your pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in a safe and lock it
'cause it's home sweet home

The smile on your face made her think she had the right one
Then she thought she was sure
By the way you two could have fun
But now she might leave
Like she's threatened before
Grab hold of her fast
Before her feet leave the floor
And she's out the door
'cause you want

To keep you in my pocket
Where there's no way out now
Put it in a safe a lock it
'cause it's home sweet home

And in your own mind
You know your're lucky just to know her
And in the beginning all you wanted was to show her
But now you're scared
You think she's running away
You search in your hand for something clever to say
Don't go away
'cause I want

To keep you in my pocket
Where there's no way out
Put it in a safe and lock it
'cause it's home sweet home
Home sweet home

Lines form from the ups and downs

I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen
and I don't know what I want
Eighteen
I just don't know what I want
Eighteen
I gotta get away
I gotta get out of this place
I'll go runnin in outer space
Oh yeah

I got a
baby's brain and an old man's heart
Took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talkin' about
Feels like I'm livin in the middle of doubt
Cause I'm

Eighteen
I get confused every day
Eighteen
I just don't know what to say
Eighteen

Lines form on the left and right

Revis--Caught in the rain

Is it real?
We're always the same
We're almost alone now
Well, I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground

Waiting to call
Well, what would you say?
And, can you come over?
Well, I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground

It was you
Who could get me high
With whatever you say
You're telling me something real

What we do
It doesn't matter now
Whatever it takes
For you to stay with me

Trading thoughts
Across from the room
I saw you surrounded
Well, I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground

Feeling small
Without an escape
I almost let you down
Well, I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground

It was you
Who could get me high
With whatever you say
You're telling me something real

What we do
It doesn't matter now
Whatever it takes
For you to stay with me

It was you
Who could get me high
With whatever you say
Telling me something real

What we do
It doesn't matter now
When I was caught in the rain
You made me feel

You made me feel
Made me feel
I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground

Wasting my time on the ground
I was caught in the rain
Caught in the rain

3 Doors Down- The Road I'm On

She said life's a lot to think about sometimes,
When you're livin' in between the lines,
And all of the stars they sparkle and shine, everyday.

He said life's so hard to move in sometimes,
When it feels like I'm towin' the line,
And no one even cares to ask me why I feel this way.

And I know you feel helpless now, and I know you feel alone.
That's the same road, the same road that I'm on, yeah.

He said life's a lot to think about sometimes,
When you keep it all between the lines,
And everything I want and I want to find one of these days, yeah.
But what you thought was real in life,
Oh, has somehow steered you wrong.
And now you just keep driving, trying to find out where you belong.
And I know you feel helpless now, and I know you feel alone.
That's the same road, the same road that I'm on.

And what you thought was real in life, has somehow steered you wrong.
And now you just keep driving, trying to find where you belong.

I know you feel helpless now, and I know you feel alone.
That's the same road, the same road that I'm on.

Anna Begins - Counting Crows

My friend assures me,
"It's all or nothing."
I am not worried,
I am not overly concerned....
My friend implores me,
"For one time only, make an exception."
I am not worried..

Wrap her up in a package of lies,
Send her off to a coconut island...
I am not worried,
I am not overly concerned....
But the status of my emotions,
"Oh" she says "You're changing"
We're always changing...

It does not bother me to say, "This isn't love...
Because if you don't want to talk about it
Then, it isn't love."
Well I guess I'm going to have to live without
And I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey
Something in between,
And I can always change my name, if that's what you mean

My friend assures me
"It's all or nothing."
But I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
You try to tell yourself
The things you try to tell yourself
To make yourself forget
To make yourself forget..
I am not worried
"If it's love," she said "then we're going to have
to think about the consequences."
She can't stop shaking,
I can't stop touching her and...

This time when kindness falls like rain
It washes her away and
Anna begins to change her mind
"These seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days."
She says
And I'm not ready for this sort of thing

But I'm not going to break,
And I'm not going to worry about it anymore....
I'm not going to bend,
And I'm not going to break...
I'm not going to worry about it anymore

It seems like I should say
"As long as this is love..."
But it's not all that easy so maybe I should,
Snap her up in a butterfly net...
Pin her down on a photograph album...
I am not worried..
Cause I've done this sort of thing before.
But then I start to think about the consequences,
Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room,

And this time when kindness falls like rain
It washes me away
And Anna begins to change my mind
And everytime she sneezes I believe it's love, and
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

She's talking in her sleep,
It's keeping me awake...
And Anna begins to toss and turn...
And every word is nonsense but I understand and,
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Her kindness bangs a gong, it's moving me along
And Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away....
She disappears and,
Oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Free - Vast

It's time to laugh, it's time to cry
It's time to be what you need to be
It won't be long 'till they are gone
And we can be what we want to be
I'm gonna run from everything
Everything that holds me down
Nothing to win, nothing to lose

You can't tell me what to do anymore
You can't tell me what to do anymore
Now I'm free, now I'm free, now I'm free

I'm gonna run, I'm gonna win
I'm gonna do what I need to do
'cause it's time to be what I need to be
It's time to be what I need to be

You can't tell me what to do anymore
You can't tell me what to do anymore
Now I'm free, now I'm free, now I'm free

I want to hold air in my hand
Own the one thing you can't buy
Nothing to win, nothing to lose
It's time to be what I need to be
I'm gonna run from everythinq
Everything that holds me down
Nothing to win, nothing to lose
It's time to be what I need to be

You can't tell me what to do anymore
You can't tell me what to do anymore
You can't tell me what to do anymore
Now I'm free, now I'm free, now I'm free

O So Sentimenteel - Laurika Rauch

(This song is in Afrikaans, so you guys will most likely not understand it, but I like it because it's beautiful)

JY VRA MY OM VERGIFFENIS
JY SÊ MY JY VOEL SLEG
DAN SPRING JY OP 'N STRALER
VLIEG TIEN DUISEND MYLE WEG
MY HART IS NES 'N KLIMTOL
WAARMEE JY LUSTIG SPEEL
O, EK VOEL BROOS VANAAND...
EN O SO SENTIMENTEEL

JY BEL MY NET NA MIDDERNAG
EN VRA MY HOE EK VOEL
JY SÊ JY'T MY IETS MOOIS GEKOOP
IN 'N MARK IN ISTANBOEL
OOR AL JOU DOEN EN LATE
KAN EK MY GOED VERBEEL
EN NOU'S EK NIE MEER VAAK
NET O SO SENTIMENTEEL

EK GAAN MY REGRUK EN UITSTYG
BO WAT MY ONDERKRY
'N NUWE LEWE INRIG
DIE OUE'S ALS VERBY
EN WAT JY MET JOUSELF MAAK
KAN MY DIE MINSTE SKEEL...
MAAR MISKIEN IS JY NOG LIEF VIR MY
EK'S O SO SENTIMENTEEL

DIE KOFFIE IS KOUD EN BITTER
JOU VLUG'S 'N HALFUUR LAAT
DIE OMIE KOM SY DOGTER HAAL
MAAR EK'S NIKS LUS VIR PRAAT
DIE WIELE VAT-VAT BAANBLAD
MY HART SIT IN MY KEEL
GAAN LÊ, OU HART, GAAN LÊ
JY'S O SO SENTIMENTEEL

EK GAAN MY REGRUK EN UITSTYG
BO WAT MY ONDERKRY
'N NUWE LEWE INRIG
DIE OUE'S ALS VERBY
EN WAT JY MET JOUSELF MAAK
KAN MY DIE MINSTE SKEEL...
MAAR MISKIEN IS JY NOG LIEF VIR MY
EK'S O SO SENTIMENTEEL
