Tori Amos - Crucify

Every finger in the room is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my somach, I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell out now

Ive been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
Ive been raising up my hands- drive another nail in
Just what God needs, one more victim

Why do we crucify ourselves
Everyday I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Everyday I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in chains

Got a kick for a dog, beggin for love
Gotta have my suffering so that I can have my cross
I know a cat named easter, he says will you ever learn
Youre just an empty cage girl if you kill the bird

Ive been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
Ive been raising up my hands- drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start my own religion

Why do we crucify ourselves
Everyday I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Everyday I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in chains

Please be
Save me
I cry

Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
Ive been raising up my hands- drive another nail in
Where are those angels when you need them

Why do we crucify ourselves
Everyday I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Everyday I crucify myself
And my heart is sick of being in chains

That's a good one.

Always loved some Jethro Tull

Skating Away on the Thin Ice of a New Day

Meanwhile back in the year one --- when you belonged to no-one ---
You didnt stand a chance son, if your pants were undone.
`cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society ---
One day youll wake up in the present day ---
A million generations removed from expectations
Of being who you really want to be.
Skating away ---
Skating away ---
Skating away on the thin ice of the new day.

So as you push off from the shore,
Wont you turn your head once more --- and make your peace with everyone?
For those who choose to stay,
Will live just one more day ---
To do the things they should have done.
And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness:
You feel you have to pray.
Looking for a sign
That the universal mind (!) has written you into the passion play.

Skating away on the thin ice of the new day.

And as you cross the circle line, the ice-wall creaks behind ---
Youre a rabbit on the run.
And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye ---
Shining in the setting sun.
Well, do you ever get the feeling that the storys
Too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybodys on the stage, and it seems like
Youre the only person sitting in the audience?

Skating away on the thin ice of the new day.

"Swing Life Away" by Rise Against

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I especially like the last verse of this one.

"Life Less Frightening" by Rise Against

Suffering from something
We're not sure of
In a world
There is no cure for
These lives we live
Test negative for happiness
Flat line, no pulse, but eyes open
Single file like soldiers on a mission
If there's no war outside our heads
Why are we losing?

[Chorus: x2]
I don't ask for much (Life less)
Truth be told I'd settle (frightening)
For a life less frightening, (Life less)
A life less frightening (frightening)

Hang me out to dry
I'm soaking
With the sins of knowing
What's gone wrong
But doing nothing
I still run
Time again I have found myself stuttering
Foundations pulled out from under me
This breath is wasted on them all
Will someone answer me

[Chorus x2]

Is there a God tonight
Up in the sky
Or is it empty just like me? (Just like me)
A place where we can hide
Out from the night
Where you are all I see (Where you are all I see)
So blow a kiss goodbye then close your eyes
Tell me what you see (Tell me what you see)
A lifetime spent inside this dream of mine
Where you are all I see

Oh yeah, darkthoughts, Tori Amos ROCKS! Crucify is one of my favorites.

A recent one I've stumbled on (this poor CD was stuck in my car for 5 weeks while undergoing repairs, so I'm listening to it and Breaking Benjamin nonstop - withdrawal symptoms, you know!) is 30 Seconds to Mars' From Yesterday - it makes me think of Roland:

"From Yesterday"

He's a stranger to some
And a vision to none
He can never get enough,
Get enough of the one

For a fortune he'd quit
But it's hard to admit
How it ends and begins
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here

On a mountain he sits, not of gold but of sin
through the blood he can learn, see the life that it turn
From council of one
He'll decide when he's done with the innocent

On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)
On his face is a map of the world
(A map of the world)

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message
He doesn't want to read the message
Doesn't want to read the message here

On his face is a map of the world

From yesterday, it's coming!
From yesterday, the fear!
From yesterday, it calls him
But he doesn't want to read the message here
From yesterday,
From yesterday,
From yesterday, the fear
From yesterday,
From yesterday
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here
But he doesn't want to read the message here

I'm on a Roland kick tonight. Sue me. :lol:

This one by Breaking Benjamin really makes me think about the ka-tet:

"Until The End"

So clever,
Whatever,
I'm done with these endeavors.
Alone I walk the winding way.
(Here I stay)
It's over,
No longer,
I feel it growing stronger.
I'll live to die another day,
Until I fade away.

[Chorus:]
Why give up, why give in?
It's not enough, it never is.
So I will go on until the end.
We've become desolate.
It's not enough, it never is.
But I will go on until the end.

Surround me,
It's easy
To fall apart completely.
I feel you creeping up again.
(In my head)
It's over,
No longer,
I feel it growing colder.
I knew this day would come to end,
So let this life begin.

[Chorus]

I've lost my way.
I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end.

Living is hard enough
Without you fucking up.

[Chorus]

I've lost my way.
I've lost my way, but I will go on until the end.

U-uh, u-uh

The final fight I'll win,
The final fight I'll win,
The final fight I'll win,
But I will go on until the end.

Fuck tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority

Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one
For a punk muthafucka with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell

Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager
With a little bit of gold and a pager
Searchin my car, lookin for the product
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics

You'd rather see me in the pen
Then me and Lorenzo rollin in the Benzo
Beat tha police outta shape
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape
To tape off the scene of the slaughter
Still can't swallow bread and water

I don't know if they fags or what
Search a nigga down and grabbin his nuts
And on the other hand, without a gun they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cuz they slam ya down to the street top
Black police showin out for the white cop

Ice Cube will swarm
On any muthafucka in a blue uniform
Just cuz I'm from the CPT, punk police are afraid of me
A young nigga on a warpath
And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dyin in LA
Yo Dre, I got somethin to say

I'll tell you this...
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn.

Back in those days everything was simpler and more confused
One summer night, going to the pier
I ran into two young girls
The blonde one was called Freedom
The dark one, Enterprise
We talked and they told me this story
Now listen to this...
I'll tell you about Texas radio and the big beat
Soft driven, slow and mad
Like some new language
Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger
Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars

Out here we is stoned
Immaculate.

- An American Prayer, Jim Morrison, music by The Doors

But can we handle it?
Could we dismantle it?
Or, should we fear the void and just be para-paranoid?
If it’s understood, it could be used for good and would,
If you will believe in all we can conceive

You tell me this town ain't got no heart. Well, well, well, you can never tell.
The sunny side of the street is dark. Well, well, well, you can never tell.
Maybe that's cause it's midnight, in the dark of the moon besides.

Maybe the dark is from your eyes, Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
Maybe the dark is from your eyes, Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
Maybe the dark is from your eyes, Maybe the dark is from your eyes,
You know you got such dark eyes!

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street. Used to be the heart of town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around.

You think you've seen this town clear through.
Well, well, well, you can never tell.
Nothin' here that could int'rest you. Well, well, well, you can never tell.
It's not because you missed out on the thing that we had to start.

Maybe you had too much too fast. Maybe you had too much too fast.
Maybe you had too much too fast. Maybe you had too much too fast.
Maybe you had too much too fast. Maybe you had too much too fast.
Or just over played your part.

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street. Used to be the heart of town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around.

Since I'm passing your way today. Well, well, well, you can never tell.
I just stopped in 'cause I want to say, Well, well, well, you can never tell.
I recall your darkness when it crackled like a thundercloud.

Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
When I can hear it beat out loud!

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street. Used to be the heart of town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around.

I love all kinds of music, but I seem to be a classic rock junkie. Sometimes I think I was born at the wrong time. The 4 J's (Jimi, Janis, Jim, and Jerry), touch my soul.

Everyday in the week i'm in a different city
If i stay too long people try to pull me down
They talk about me like a dog
Talkin' about the clothes i wear
But they don't realise they're the ones who's square
Hey!
And that's why
You can't hold me down
I don't want to be down i gotta move
Hey
Stone free do what i please
Stone free to ride the breeze
Stone free i can't stay
I got to got to got to get away
Alright
Listen to this baby
A woman here a woman there try to keep me in a plastic cage
But they don't realise it's so easy to break
But sometimes i get a ha
Feel my heart kind of runnin' hot
That's when i've got to move before i get caught
And the is why, listen to me baby, you can't hold me down
I don't want to be tied down
I gotta be free
Owh!

I said
Stone free do what i please
Stone free to ride the breeze
Stone free i can't stay
Got to got to got to get away
Yeah ow!
Tear me loose baby
Yeah!
Stone free to ride on the breeze
Stone free do what i please
Stone free i can't stay
Stone free i got to i got to get away
Stone free go on down the highway
Stone free don't try to hold me back baby
Stone free oh yeah baby
Stone free got to got to get away
Stone free goodbye baby

I am completely and totally hooked on Breaking Benjamin at the moment, and some of their lyrics are...hard to figure out. Which I like, actually. Two of my favorites right now are Rain and Home. Take a look:

Rain

Take a photograph,
It'll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,

I don't have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Is it you I want,
Or just the notion
Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around

Safe to say from here,
You're getting closer now,
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

To lie here under you,
Is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,
To lie here under you is all that i could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

I like Rain because it does the whole "Rain rain go away" singsong rhyme we all learned as kids - but there's some interesting lyrics in there, I must say. The English major in me has been picking this apart for a couple weeks, now. :)

Home

I've got a little red bow
And I bought it for you
'Cause I know you're not fair
I don't get it, oh well
And you color my skin
And the colors don't blend
'Cause I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too
There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
'Cause I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
Like home
I've, got a southern belle too
And ruby red shoes
With a body of straw
Are you sick of it all?
There's a man made of tin
With an oil can grin
And I'm gonna get you
And your little dog too
There's a yellow brick road
That we follow back home
And I know you can't wait
Your belligerent hate
There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
Can you let me go down
To the end of the road
In the black and the white
A Technicolorful life
Can I stand by your side?
We can make it alright
Like home
'Cause I'm home
There's a little white porch
And you wanted it so
Can you let me go down
To the end of the road
In the black and the white
A Technicolorful life
Then another arrived
It's a cowardly lion
What I want from this world
What I wanna resolve
When I want you to stay
So I want you to wait
I don't wanna be bold
I don't wanna be cold
I don't wanna grow old
I don't wanna go home

Okay, so yeah, I get the "Wizard of Oz" reference, but there is some weird stuff in there. I like it, though. Again, I feel some weird need to pick it apart and figure it out. I may never succeed, but that's half the fun. :lol:

There's a song, can't remember the name, but it has a Dune reference. The video shows Christopher Walken dancing through the whole thing.

This is a bad ass song :) - I aint the 1 - Ice Cube

[Intro: Girl, Ice Cube]
[Ice Cube, do you think you could give me some money to get
my hair done?] How short's your hair right now?
[Well you know I get it done every week, and I need my nails
done too] Look, I'ma tell you like this

[Verse One:]
I ain't the one, the one to get played like a pooh butt
See I'm from the street, so I know what's up
On these silly games that's played by the women
I'm only happy when I'm goin up in em
But you know, I'm a menace to society
But girls in biker shorts are so fly to me
So I step to em, with aggression
Listen to the kid, and learn a lesson today
See they think we narrow minded
Cause they got a cute face, and big-behinded
So I walk over and say "How ya doin?"
See I'm only down for screwin, but you know
Ya gotta play it off cool
Cause if they catch you slippin, you'll get schooled
And they'll get you for your money, son
Next thing you know you're gettin their hair and they nails done
Fool, and they'll let you show em off
But when it comes to sex, they got a bad cough
Or a headache, it's all give and no take
Run out of money, and watch your heart break
They'll drop you like a bad habit
Cause a brother with money yo, they gotta have it
Messin with me though, they gets none
You can't juice Ice Cube girl, cause I ain't the one

[Interlude One:]

[Girrrrrl, you got to get these brothers for all the money
you can honey. Cause if they ain't got no money, they can't
do nothin for me but get out of my face.]

[I know what you mean girl, it ain't nothin right jumpin off
unless he got dollars]

[Verse Two:]
Sometimes I used to wonder
How the hell an ugly dude get a fine girl's number
He's gettin juiced for his ducats
I tell a girl in a minute yo, I drive a bucket
And won't think nuttin of it
She can ride or walk, either leave it or love it
I show her that I'm not the O, the N-E, say
I'm a ruthless N-I double-G A
Cause I'm gamin on a female that's gamin on me
You know I spell girl with a B
A brother like me is only out for one thing
I think with my ding-a-ling, but I won't bring no
Flowers to your doorstep, when we goin out
Cause you'll take it for granted, no doubt
And after the date, I'ma want to do the wild thing
You want lobster huh? I'm thinking Burger King
And when I take you, you get frustrated
You can't juice Ice Cube and you hate it
But you see, I don't go nuts
Over girls like you with the BIG ol butts
It start comin out the pocket, to knock it
But when the damage is done...
You can only lay me girl, you can't play me girl
For the simple fact that, I ain't the one

[Interlude Two:]

[I don't care how they look if they got money,
we can hook up but they ain't gettin none.]

[Yeah I just make em think they gonna get some,
play up they mind a lil bit, and get that money.]

[Oh Ice Cube, can I have some money pleeeease?]

[Verse Three:]
Give you money why bother
Cause you know I'm lookin nothin like your father
Girl, I can't be played or ganked
Ganked means getting took for your bank
Or your gold or your money or something
Nine times outta ten, she's giving up nothing
They get mad when I put it in perspective
But let's see if my knowledge is effective
To the brothas man they robbing you blind
Cause they fine with a big behind, but pay it no mind
Keep your money to yourself homie
And if you got enough game
You'll get her name and her number
Without going under
You can't leave em and love and stay above em
I used to get no play now she stay behind me
Cause I said I had a Benz 190
But I lied and played the one
Just to get some now she feels dumb
To my homies it's funny
But that's what you get trying to play me for my money
Now don't you feel used
But I don't give hoot, huh, because I knock boots
You shouldn't be, so damn material
And try to milk Ice Cube like cereal
Now how many times do I have to say it
Cause if I have to go get a gun
You girls will learn I don't burn
You think I'm a sucka, but I ain't the one

[Outro:]
[But you said you love me!]
I don't see no rings on this finger
[Why you doin me like this? I love you!]
Yeah you love my money, I got what I wanted - beat it

Luca by Brand New - God And the Devil Are Raging Inside Of Me (2006)

A great song, one of my favourites.

When I disappear, do you fear for the sister I took?
When I disappear, it is clear I am up to no good
I am drearily bloodletting this bedwetting cosmonaut
"Son, the last thing you'll realize you need is what you've already got"

So touch me or don’t
Just let me know
Where you’ve been

Please drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait
(one, two, three, four)
For I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake
(five, six, seven, eight)
Shimmering under a moon made in anger and haste
Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grating
(Shimmering like a coin kept safe away, you never give in to anything)

So touch me or don’t
Just let me know
Where you’ve been

We could leave it alone,
I’m sure there’s someone who knows
Where you’ve been

You could never work well with our group
Not with the faults we found
So we've fixed you with cement galoshes
And no one can save you now
Unless you have friends among fish
There’ll still be no air to breathe
You could drink up the entire ocean
We’ll still find someone to be everything we know that you’ll never be

So touch me or don’t
Just let me know
Where you’ve been

Or we could leave it alone
I’m sure there’s someone who knows
Where you’ve been***

Play Crack They Sky by Brand New

Sent out the s.o.s. Call.
It was a quarter past four in the morning
When the storm broke our second anchor line.
Four months at sea, four months of calm seas to be pounded
In the shallows off the tip of Montauk Point.
They call them rogues; they travel fast and alone--
one-hundred-foot faces of God's good ocean gone wrong.
What they call love is a risk, to always get hit out of nowhere
By some wave and end up on your own.

A hole in the hull defied the crew's attempts, to bail us out.
It flooded the engine and radio, half-buried bow.

Your tongue is a rudder.
It steers the whole ship, sends your words past your lips,
Or keeps them safe behind your teeth.
But the wrong words will strand you, come off-course while you sleep,
Sweep your boat out to sea or dashed to bits on the reef.

The vessel groans; the ocean pressures its frame.
To the port I see the lighthouse through the sleet and the rain.
And I wish for one more day to give my love and repay debts,
But the morning finds our bodies washed up thirty miles west.

They say that the captain stays fast with the ship through still and storm.
But this ain't the Dakota; the water's cold. (So cold.)
Won’t have to fight for long.

(This is the end.)
This story's old, (this is the end) but it goes on and on until we disappear.
(This is the calm.)
Calm me and let me (this is the calm) taste the salt you breathed while you were underneath.
(We are the resin)
i am the one (we are the resin) who haunts your dreams of mountains sunk below the sea.
(After the storm.)
I spoke the words (after the storm) but never gave a thought to what they all could mean.
(Rest here with thee,)
i know that this (rest in the deep) is what you want.
(Washed up on the beach.)
A funeral keeps both of us apart.
You know (washed up on the beach.) that you are not alone.
I need you like water in my lungs.

The woman was a dream I had though rather hard to keep
For when my eyes were watching hers, they closed, and I was still asleep
For when my hand was holding hers, she whispered words and I awoke
And faintly bouncing around the room the echo of whomever spoke
I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room the echo of whomever spoke

The place I saw was far beneath the surface of the sea
My sight was poor but I was sure the sirens sang their songs for me
They dance above me as I sink I see them through a crystal haze
And hear them bouncing round the room the never ending coral maze

That time and once again I'm bouncing around the room

Bouncing around the room - Phish

Soma - Smashing Pumpkins

Nothing left to say
And all I've left to do
Is run away
From you

And she led me up, down
With secrets I can't keep
Close your eyes and sleep
Dont wait up for me
Hush now don't you speak
To me

Wrap my hurt in you
And took my shelter in that pain
The opiate of blame
Is your broken heart, your heart

I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
I'll betray my tears
To anyone, caught, in our ruse of fools

One last kiss for me...yeah
One last kiss good night

Didn't want to lose you once again
Didn't want to be your friend
Fulfill a promise made of tears
And crawled back to you

Now I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone, anyone but you

So let the sadness come again
On that you can depend on me
Until the bitter, bitter end
When good sleeps in bliss

And I'm all by myself
As I've always felt
And I'll betray myself
To anyone

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Wish you were here - Pink Floyd

Chris Cornell - When I'm Down

What say you now?
The door is opening on your vigil
And I'm in my usual way
I save my breath, knowing what you're
Wanting me to say
I only love you when I'm down
You say that midnight opens its arms to me
Leaving you alone, and I fly so far away
Until the light blurs my vision
And I have nowhere to roam
I only love you when I'm down
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time

Well I know you're reaching out
And you need to feel my hand
You want to be understood, yeah well I understand
I know you hold precious little hope for me
And in your happiness
I'm always drowning in my grief
And I only love you when I'm down
And I'm only near you when I'm gone
But one thing for you to keep in mind, you know
I'm down all the time
All the time, all the time, all the time

Chris Cornell - Follow My Way

Little one don't be a fool
I'm a wreck when I look mighty
In euphoria I'm bruised
In confusion next I'm lightning
In complacence I am small
Through oblivion I charge

So follow my way
When I'm not leading anyone
Open and frayed
When you can see that I'm unsure
Out on my way
I'm only pure when I get lost
And you're only needing
When you're finding that I'm not

You're just looking for a boy
Bathed in infrared and sunlight
I'm all polish and reward
When I'm confident I'm hopeless
Just like everybody else
Right before they fall apart

So follow my way
When I am falling from your heart
When I'm in pain
Fever and sweet relief in one
Out on my way
Though I'm not worthy of your trust
Follow me down into a swan dive
All eyes closed tightly

Lowly, slowly now I know I like
Where you go when you're gone
Warm you hands inside my veins
I might be contagious
Through oblivion I charge

Follow my way
When I'm useless to your cause
When I derail
Calm in the patience of remorse
Out on my way
Out on my empty open nerves
When all you know
Is that I don't know where we are
When all you know
Is that I don't know
Follow my way

Freak scene - Dinosaur Jr

Seen enough to eye you
But Ive seen to much to try you
Its always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just cant believe us
Why cant it just be cool and free us?

Seen enough to eye you
But Ive seen to much to try you
Its always weirdness while you
Dig it much too much to fry you
The weirdness flows between us
Anyone can tell to see us
Freak scene just cant believe us
Why cant it just be cool and leave us?

Its so fucked I cant believe it
If theres a way I wish wed see it
How could it work just cant conceive it
Oh what a mess its just to leave it

Sometimes I dont thrill you
Sometimes I think Ill kill you
Just dont let me fuck up will you
cause when I need a friend its still you

What a mess

Tyler by The Todies:

And she runs through her days with a smile on her face
And she runs, and she waits, and I wait

We can drive to anyplace, day or night, across the state
And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up

I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!

I stumble in the hallway, outside the bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door

I will be with her tonight!

Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes

You can’t be let down if you don’t expect the world
expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl
if somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
cursed consciousness is your private hell

Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes

Tick, tick, tick the clock bludgeons your mind
endlessly replaying times that were unkind
go away sun I’m not prepared for you today
it seems you are, it seems you are, huh!

Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes

Disenchanted Lullabyes
Sing me yours, I'll sing you mine
Sing with me now what's a boy to do?
What's a boy to do?

Sing along for yesterday
Sing along my soul to take
Sing along another song for you
What's a boy to do?

Chorus:
I may be scattered
A little shattered
What does it matter
No one has a fit like I do

I may be scattered
A little shattered
What does it matter?
No one has a fit like I do
I'm the only one that's fits you

Whisper with me pass the time
Whisper for the days gone by
Whisper with the voice inside of you

With this ring you will be mine
With this ring I'll multiply
With this ring surrendering to you
What's a boy to do?

--Disenchanted Lullaby, Foo Fighters

The chorus to this song is a huge favorite of mine right now.

Devil's Dance Floor Lyrics
Artist(Band):Flogging Molly

Send polyphonic ringtone to your cell phone

Her breath began to speak
As she stood right in front of me
The colour of her eyes
Were the colour of insanity
Crushed beneath her wave
Like a ship, I could not reach her shore
We’re all just dancers on the Devil’s Dance Floor

Well swing a little more, little more o’er the merry-o
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Swing a little more, little more o’er the merry-o
Swing a little more, on the Devil’s Dance Floor

Pressed against her face
I could feel her insecurity
Her mother’d been a drunk
And her father was obscurity
But nothin’ ever came
From a life that was a simple one
So pull yourself together girl
And have a little fun

Well she took me by the hand
I could see she was a fiery one
Her legs ran all the way
Up to heaven and past Avalon
Tell me somethin’ girl, what it is you have in store
She said come with me now
On the Devil’s Dance Floor

Well swing a little more, little more o’er the merry-o
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Swing a little more, little more o’er the merry-o
Swing a little more, on the Devil’s Dance Floor

Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

Swing a little more, a little more o'er the merry-o
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Swing a little more, a little more o'er the merry-o
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

The apple now is sweet
Oh much sweeter than it ought to be
Another little bite
I don’t think there is much hope for me
The sweat beneath her brow
Travels all the way
An’ headin’ south
This bleedin’ heart’s cryin’
Cause there’s no way out

Well swing a little more, little more o’er the merry-o
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Swing a little more, little more o’er the merry-o
Swing a little more, on the Devil’s Dance Floor

Swing a little more, a little more o'er the merry-o
Swing a little more, a little more next to me
Swing a little more, a little more o'er the merry-o
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor
Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor

Possibly the best opening lines to a song ever:

"Your momma, me, and some other whore,
Floating down the river on a shit-house door"

Storyslinger

10-02-2007, 06:24 AM

More calm than a heartbeat that flat lines
Quiet like a dark street under the moonlight
A phrase of action that's been screamed from the guts of men
Ever since their first experienced
Injustice, prejudice, discrimination
A word louder then a gunshot
softer then a babies laugh, it will pass
Just like it always has. Until it spits off the lips
The next man who's had it up to here.

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head?
Is that what it takes to make a solution
Your Revolution

Not the first or the last to imagine it
Acknowledge the concepts, question and grasp it
Rebel against the I and bring down the self.
Mutiny me! overthrow you!
Rebellion starts within, the time is now

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head?
Is that what it takes to make a solution, solution

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head?
Is that what it takes to make a solution
Your Revolution
(Your revolution!)

[Bridge]
Purple skies, Devil eyes, Hypnotize
Little lies, Compromise, Fireflies
Samurais, Parasite, Fly by night, After life, Materialize,
Look alike, Stereotype, Do or Die, lullaby, black and white

Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or is it all in my head? (Your revolution!)
Is that what it takes to make a solution, solution
(Your revolution!)
Did somebody say a Revolution?
Or at least it's been said (Your revolution!)
Is that what it takes to make a solution?
Your Revolution

No resolution -Your Revolution
And what's your solution? -Your Revolution
And no substitution -Your Revolution
And no resolution -Your Revolution
And what's your solution?

oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
in 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
i was born too late into a world that doesn't care
oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

when the head of state didn't play guitar
not everybody drove a car
when music really mattered and when radio was king
when accountants didn't have control
and the media couldn't buy your soul
and computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
in 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
i was born too late into a world that doesn't care
oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

when pop-stars still remained a myth
and ignorance could still be bliss
and when god saved the queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
when my mom and dad were in their teens
and anarchy was still a dream
and the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
in 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
i was born too late into a world that doesn't care
oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

when record shops were still on top
and vinyl was all that they stocked
and the super info highway was still drifting out in space
kids were wearing hand me downs
and playing games meant kick around
and footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
in 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
i was born too late into a world that doesn't care
oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

i was born too late to a world that doesn't care
oh i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

its 1986, i'm in the first grade
i'm workin really hard to get mario laid
i gotta save the princess so he can get the pussy
believe me - mario will get that ass so fuck luigi
mario really wants to get her in bed
so bad that he's bustin up bricks with his head
he just wants sex - so forget the wedding bells
jumping on lil mushroom men and turtle shells
dropping down green pipes and secret passage ways
making his move to the end
where the final castle lays
eat a magic mushroom, grow a little higher
eat a white flower and spit balls of fire
all these creatures that attack won't cut mario slack
oh shit, hold on, i'll be right back.
i'm gonna beat the game if it takes me all summer
it's gotta be hard to get laid if you're a plumber
that's why I'm gonna work extra hard for my man
and get him to the end so he can stop using his hand
mario doesn't wanna get hit, he'll shrink
the princess wont fuck a little kid, i think
so stay firm and attend to your own
and eventually the princess will attend to you're bone
save the princess quick
because she wants a dick
and if you set her free
you get the pussy
bowser's trying to get head right now from the princess
but if it's up to me that shit'll stop this instant
cloud people throwing little spiked animals
green plants with teeth that attack like cannibals
i hearn no body's yet run in the princess's oven
and mario always says, "virgins, i love em"
i hate the koopa troopers so i'm gonna run up
and jump on the back of their shells til i get one up
i'm gonna keep playing and i'm never gonna quit
because some kid at school told me you can see the princess' tits
i'm gonna beat it before any of my friends do
so i can say i put pussy up on mario's menu
at the end of each level, i jump up and get the flag
and say to myself, another castle's in the bag
i hope Bowser's ready cuz he's in for a ride
and mario's serious when it comes to homicide
the princess is a freak even though she has class
and mario will take a plunger and put it in her ass
i hate the cannons, that shoot at you constantly
and i hate platforms that fall out from below me
it's all worth while just to see mario smile
standing next to the princess, buck naked profile
so that's why it's my crusade to get mario laid
super mario brother's, best game ever made
save the princess quick
because she wants a dick
and if you set her free
you get the pussy

Alright for now, my three favorite current songs:

DENIS LEARY - ASSHOLE

(Spoken)
Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American dream.
About me, about you, about the way our American hearts beat way down
in the bottom of our chests. About the special feeling we get in the
cockles of our hearts, maybe below the cockles, maybe in the subcockle
area. Maybe in the liver. Maybe in the kidneys. Maybe even in the
colon, we don't know.

(Sung)
I'm just a regular Joe with a regular job.
I'm your average white suburbanite slob.
I like football and porno and books about war.
I've got an average house with a nice hardwood floor.

My wife and my job, my kids and my car.
My feet on my table and a cuban cigar.

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep a man like me interested
(oh no) no way (uh-uh)
No, I've gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
(oh yeah) Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane,
While people behind me are going insane.

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)
I use public toilets and piss on the seat,
I walk around in the summertime saying "How about this heat?"
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces,
While handicapped people make handicapped faces.
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's a real fucking asshole)

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
NAAAAH!

I'm an asshole (he's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (he's the world's biggest asshole)

(Spoken)
Know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado,
hot-fuckin'-pink, with whaleskin hubcaps and all-leather cow interior and big
brown baby seal eyes for headlights... yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in
that baby doing 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, suckin' down
quarter pound cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non-
biodegradable styrofoam containers... yeah! And when I'm done suckin' down
those greaseball burgers I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the
side, and there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it. You know why?
Because we got the bombs, that's why... yeah! Two words--nuclear fuckin'
weapons, OK? Russia, Czechoslovakia, Romania, they can have all the democracy
they want...they can have a democracy cakewalk right through the middle of
Tienamen Square and it won't make a lick of fuckin' difference, because we got
the bombs, OK? John Wayne's not dead--he's frozen! And when we find a cure for
cancer, we're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off. You
know why? You ever taken a cold shower? Well, multiply that by 15 million
times--that's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be. I'm gonna get the Duke and
John Casavetti and Sam Peckinpaw and a case of fuckin' whisky and drive...

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, you know you really are an asshole?)

Why don't you shut up and sing the song, Chris. I thought I was the
asshole... all the time it was him... what an asshole!

(Sung)
I'm an asshole (I'm an asshole, he's an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)
A S-S H-O L-E
Everybody, A S-S H-O L-E
Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay Ay-Ay
A-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom A-thoom-thoom
Oooooooo

(Spoken)
I'm an asshole and I'm proud of it!

"The Night Santa Went Crazy"
Down in the workshop all the elves were makin' toys
For the good Gentile girls and the good Gentile boys
When the boss busted in, nearly scared 'em half to death
Had a rifle in his hands and cheap whiskey on his breath
From his beard to his boots he was covered with ammo
Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo
And he smiled as he said with a twinkle in his eye,
"Merry Christmas to all - now you're all gonna die!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain

Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"

The night Santa went crazy
The night Kris Kringle went nuts
Now you can't hardly walk around the North Pole
Without steppin' in reindeer guts

There's the National Guard and the F.B.I.
There's a van from the Eyewitness News
And helicopters circlin' 'round in the sky
And the bullets are flyin', the body count's risin'
And everyone's dyin' to know, oh Santa, why?
My my my my my my
You used to be such a jolly guy

Yes, Virginia, now Santa's doin' time
In a federal prison for his infamous crime
Hey, little friend, now don't you cry no more tears
He'll be out with good behavior in 700 more years
But now Vixen's in therapy and Donner's still nervous
And the elves all got jobs working for the postal service
And they say Mrs. Clause, she's on the phone every night
With her lawyer negotiating the movie rights

They're talkin' bout - the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nicholas flipped
Broke his back for some milk and cookies
Sounds to me like he was tired of gettin' gypped

Wo, the night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he's gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Wo, something finally must have snapped in his brain
Tell ya, something finally must have snapped... in his brain

Blue October - Calling You
Theres something that i cant quite explain
i'm so in love with you
you'll never take that away

and if i said a hundred times before
expect a thousand more
you never take that away

well expect me to be
calling you to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile

well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

i thought that the world had lost its sway
(its so hard sometimes)
then i fell in love with you
(then came you)
and you took that away
(its not so difficult, the world is not so difficult)
you take away the old
show me the new
and i feel like i can fly
when i stand next to you
so what if I'm on this phone
a hundred miles from home
i take the words you gave
and send them back to you

i only want to see
if you're ok when i'm not around
asking if you love me
i love the way you make it sound
calling you to see
do i try too hard to make you smile
to make a smile

i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

well i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me
i cant believe
you actually picked...me

i will keep calling you to see
if you're sleepin are you dreamin and
if you're dreamin are you dreamin of me

"The day the whole world went away" By Nine Inch Nails

I listen to the words he'd say
But in his voice I heard decay
the plastic face forced to portrait
all the insides left cold and grey
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear, it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay
the day the whole world went away

BIG GIRL (YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL)

Walks in to the room
Feels like a big balloon
I said, 'Hey girl you are beautiful'
Diet coke and a pizza please
Diet coke I'm on my knees
Screaming 'Big girl you are beautiful'

You take your skinny girl
Feel like I'm gonna die
'Cause a real woman
Needs a real man here's why

You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lotta woman
Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize
Since I was in my braces
A watering hole
With the girls around
And curves in all the right places

Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful

Walks in to the room
Feels like a big balloon
I said, 'Hey girl you are beautiful'
Diet coke and a pizza please
[ Lyrics provided by www.mp3lyrics.org ]
Diet coke I'm on my knees
Screaming 'Big girl you are beautiful'

You take your girl
And multiply her by four
Now a whole lotta woman
Needs a whole lot more

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize
Since I was in my braces
A watering hole
With the girls around
And curves in all the right places

Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize
Since I was in my braces
A watering hole
With the girls around
And curves in all the right places

Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Oh you are beautiful

Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And they'll be calling you baby

No need to fantasize
Since I was in my braces
A watering the hole
With the girls around
And curves in all the right places

Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful
Big girl you are beautiful

one of my favorite songs
Dreaming Tree

Standing here
The old man said to me
"Long before these crowded streets
Here stood my dreaming tree"
Below it he would sit
For hours at a time
Now progress takes away
What forever took to find
Now he's falling hard
He feels the falling dark
How he longs to be
Beneath his dreaming tree
Conquered fear to climb
A moment froze in time
When the girl who first he kissed
Promised him she'd be his
Remembered mother's words
There beneath the tree
"No matter what the world
You'll always be my baby"
Mommy come quick
The dreaming tree has died
The air is growing thick
A fear he cannot hide
The dreaming tree has died
Oh have you no pity
This thing I do
I do not deny it
All through this smile
As crooked as danger
I do not deny
I know in my mind
I would leave you now
If I had the strength to
I would leave you up
To your own devices
Will you not talk
Can you take pity
I don't ask much
But won't you speak
Please
From the start
She knew she had it made
Easy up 'til then
For sure she'd make the grade
Adorers came in hordes
To lay down in her wake
She gave it all she had
But treasures slowly fade
Now she's falling hard
She feels the fall of dark
How did this fall apart
She drinks to fill it up
A smile of sweetest flowers
Wilted so and soured
Black tears stain the cheeks
That once were so admired
She thinks when she was small
There on her father's knee
How he had promised her
"You'll always be my baby"
"Daddy come quick
The dreaming tree has died
I can't find my way home
There is no place to hide
The dreaming tree has died"
Oh if I had the strength...
Take me back
Save me please

"Afterlife"

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen
so unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I'm choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I'd hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Girl afraid
Where do his intentions lay ?

Or does he even have any ?

She said :

"He never really looks at me
I give him every opportunity
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again !"

I'll never make that mistake again
I'll never make that mistake again

Boy afraid
Prudence never pays

And everything she wants costs money

"But she doesn't even LIKE me !
And I know because she said so
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
In the room downstairs
She sat and stared
I'll never make that mistake again !"

Girl afraid - The smiths.

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who

Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah

"Say Yes" by Elliott Smith off of Either/Or

i'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
who's still around the morning after
we broke up a month ago and i grew up i didn't know
i'd be around the morning after
it's always been wait and see
a happy day and then you pay
and feel like shit the morning after
but now i feel changed around and instead falling down
i'm standing up the morning after
situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
and i could be another fool or an exception to the rule
you tell me the morning after
crooked spin can't come to rest
i'm damaged bad at best
she'll decide what she wants
i'll probably be the last to know
no one says until it shows and you see how it is
they want you or they don't
say yes
i'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
who's still around the morning after

The Thermals - "Power Doesn't Run on Nothing"

We are just a child
we are just a child
we are wide awake
but our legs are shaky
we're unaware
we're hyper-active
we stare into space with grims on our faces
so give us what we're asking for
cause either way, we're gonna take it
our power doesn't run on nothing
we need the land you're standing on so lets go
move it

we are old as hell
we are old and tell the children
when to kill and when to sit still
everyone doing what we say
till our dying day, till our breath is empty
so give us what we're asking for
cause either way we're gonna take it
our power doesn't run on nothing
we need the land you're standing on so
lets go
move it
yeah you need to let it go
move it

yeah we're, more equal,
we'll move your people,
off the planet 'cause goddamn we need the fuel

so, so let the beat roll over,
the beat roll over, everyone in line, one in line

so, so let the beat roll over,
the beat roll over, everyone in line
one at a time

they'll give us what we're asking for,
cause god is with us, and our god's the richest
our power doesn't run on nothing,
it runs on blood,
and blood is easy to obtain when you have no shame
when you have no shame

so let the sun bathe
let the sun bathe
we'll still have life, we'll burn even brighter
we'll drain the well, turn all to hell,
leave the earth's surface to the worthless dirt
let the beat roll over, let the beat roll over,
to everyone in mind, everyone in line
you think we'll cease?
you see a reason,
you think it's fair?
to think it's fair,
you think we care?

Stephen Malkmus - "Freeze the Saints"

We meet again
Riding our divisible bodies
Feel no shame
Luck is love is on

If you need the pain
Well you are, yes you are so much like me
Seasons change--nothing lasts for long
Except the earth and the mountains
So learn to sing along and languish here
Help me languish here

It was long ago
That all of your willing dimensions
Lost the flow
And vanished in vaneer

But I want to know
If you are, yes you are so much like me
Steel restraints
Zodiac ballet, everybody play
There's no more counting days, you languish here
Help me languish here

You said done is good
But done well is so much fucking better
Share the wealth
And cauterize the tears

If you want to know
Well you are, yes you are so much like me
Freeze the saints
Such a subtle read, exquisite pedigree
Just let yourself be and languish here
Help me languish here

Jimi Hendrix - "Bold As Love"

Anger, he smiles towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on

But they're all bold as love,
They're all bold as love
Yeah they're all bold as love
Just ask the Axis

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round
My yellow in this case is not so mellow
In fact, I'm trying to say it's frigthened like me
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you

But I';m bold as love,
I'm bold as love
Well I'm bold, bold as love
I'm bold as love
Just ask the Axis
He knows everything

Some of my favorite lyrics of all time:

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going...
--"Lateralus", Tool

-----------------------

Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds
And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed
The hiss of the train at the railway head

Always the summers are slipping away

A 60 ton angel falls to the earth
A pile of old metal, a radiant blur
Scars in the country, the summer and her

Always the summers are slipping away
Find me a way for making it stay

When I hear the engine pass
I'm kissing you wide
The hissing subsides
I'm in luck

When the evening reaches here
You're tying me up
I'm dying of love
It's OK
--"Trains", Porcupine Tree

------------------------

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

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

Yeah, greatness, right there, as far as I'm concerned.

deeper and deeper in love so I hold my head up
cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon

And the angel of the lord led me into the belly of the holy Mother.
A chamber black as pitch.
But I felt no fear, only comfort, for I was as a child in the womb.
And she bade me 'Peer through yonder portal which looked upon the heavens, and behold!, a morning angel.
She ascended slowly from far beyond the horizon, her light like a heavenly finger pointing the Way.
And on yonder wall she traced for me a path which led me, five directions, eight winters to east in the hole as my feet landed firmly upon the vital winter of the second score.
There appeared before me a heavenly star, a holy virgin, the bringer of life and breath.
And she spoke unto me, saying 'fear not the movement of the heavens above or the earth below for change is what we are, my child.
Righteous are those who look up and sway with the wind, who look down and dance with the shifting of the soil, who swim with the movement of the tides, who seek the truth around them and discover, we are and have always been in paradise.
The reflections of heaven on earth. Amen!'

And she spoke again, saying 'know, my child, that there is no devil seeking to cause guilt nor harm to men.
No evil, save blind faith, ignorance, and the desire for the unprepared to blame others for the devastation left in the wake of CHANG E.'

Change, my child. Change is in the heavens. Change is on this earth.
Change is all around us, and we are reflections of the divine, we must roll with these changes, for we are these changes.
Eyes wide open, we must look upon the heavens as a mirror.
Wide awake, aware, deeply breathing.
And when the shit comes down, my child, you will be there, a true and holy survivor to inherit the kingdom of god.
You will rise above the grumbles of the unprepared to greet the new day, to drink from the sweet fruit of the vine,
the water of life, the blood of the risen Christ, my child.'

'Go now, child, tell them all. The ignorant, the blinded by dogma, blinded by faith, the doubters, the nay sayers.
Tell them all, child, they can not see the kingdom of god, they can not see paradise unfold before them, they can not drink from the chalice which holds the blood of Christ, the water of life, until they get right with Jesus.
Until they get right with Jesus.
It's always gonna be sour grapes with you, boy, until you get right with Jesus.

Chevelle - Breach Birth:

Be brave, reshape
Can't force all into molds
Passing out schematics
Forcing all into molds

Once more about to change
Some try and fall beneath molds

Well it's your right so
I'll keep on this path
Turning around bending the shapes, cutting it in
We could excel beyond the latter fools!
Start a new tone, hating the same, empty the room

So create, reclaim
Sovereign shapes tempting us
Ration out, their schematics
Dare we live without molds

So far, what's left between
They try and fail beneath molds!

Well it's your right so
I'll keep on this path
Turning around bending the shapes, cutting it in
We could excel beyond the latter fools!
Start a new tone, hating the same, empty the room

Feel locked in a room...
And starting to choke...
Enticing the shame...
Awaken a world...
Our own...

Well it's your right so
I'll keep on this path
Turning around bending the shapes, cutting it in
We could excel beyond the latter fools!
Start a new tone, hating the same, empty the room

So, be brave...reshape...create...reclaim...

Bowling For Soup - Shut Up And Smile Lyrics

Its not the end of the world
In fact its not even the end of the summer
But thank god the tv is on
Cuz theres no way we could know
Anything that’s goin down
Or how were supposed to be feeling about it
I cant tell you how much I wish we could shut up and smile, yeah

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
all we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I’m a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug

Take a good look around
Does life really suck
Are we just complaining
I hope that this mic is on (testing 1, 2)
Cuz im on a roll here
I hope this is making some sense
I hope that you’ll throw up your hands and sing it
And tell all the haters that they should just shut up and smile, yeah

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
all we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe I’m a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream

All we need is love and beer
And old school metal and holiday cheer
TO be happy
(All you need is someone near)
like ben and jerry
(to hold you close and pretend that they care)

can we all just, get along now
we found something that we all have in common now
we can hold hands, do keg stands
water skiing sounds great to me now

Sail around the world and tell them all to keep singing it
la la la la la la
all we needs a harmony and we’ll convince the world to sing
la la la la la la
throw your arms around someone (throw your arms around someone)
maybe spread a little love
I know it sounds a little dumb (or maybe we’re a little drunk)
But all we need is some ice cream and a hug

(Chanting “All we need is love and beer”)
all we need is some ice cream and a hug
all we need is some ice cream and a hug
all we need is some ice cream and a hug

Close to You - Queensryche

I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall
I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall
Outside your balconly I have a room with a view
And I'm watching you
I dial your telephone each and every afternoon
I wait by your door till you're asleep at night
And when you're alone I know when you
Turn out the light

CHORUS
I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm gonna get close

You fumble for your keys
I'm six or seven steps behind you
I'm so close to you
Are you terrified of me? What do I know about you
How did I find out?
You think I'm a fool or maybe some kind of lunatic
Say I'm wasting my time but I know what to do with it
It's as plain as black and white

CHORUS

If you knew my infinite charm
There'd be no reason to be so alarmed
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm some kind of lunatic
You say I'm wasting all of my time
But I know what to do with it
It's plain as black and white

I'm gonna get close to you
Oh-oh so close to you
I'm gonna get close to you
I'm like a hungry criminal
And your protection is minimal
So minimal

Freedom.
(Jimi Hendrix)

You got my pride hanging out of my bed
You're messing with my life, so I brought my lead
Even messing with my children and you scream at my wife
Get off of my back if you wanna get out of here alive

Freedom, that's what I want now
Freedom, that's what I need now
Freedom to live
Freedom, so I can give

You got my heart, speak electric warrior
You got my soul screaming and hollering
You know you hooked my girlfriend
You know the drugstore man
Well I don't need it now
Just trying to slap it out of her hand

Freedom, Freedom, so I can give
Freedom, so I can live
Freedom, that's what I need

You don't have to say that you love me
If you don't mean it you better believe it
If you need me or just want to bleed me
Better stick your daggers in someone else,
So I can leave
Set me free

There There - Radiohead

In pitch dark i go walking in your landscape.
Broken branches trip me as i speak.
Just 'cause you feel it doesnt mean its there.
Just 'cause you feel it doesnt mean its there.

There's always a siren
Singing you to shipwreck
(Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out)
Steer away from these rocks
We'd be a walking disaster
(Don't reach out, don't reach out
Don't reach out, don't reach out)

Just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean its there.
(theres someone on your shoulder)
(theres someone on your shoulder)
Just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean its there.
(theres someone on your shoulder)
(theres someone on your shoulder)
There there!

Why so green and lonely?
and lonely
and lonely

Heaven sent you to me
to me
to me

We are accidents
waiting, waiting to happen.

We are accidents
waiting, waiting to happen

Radiohead is underrated as well!!! I love Radiohead!

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 fucking special

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

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna 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 fucking special
I wish I was special

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

She's running out the door
She's running out
She run run run run...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want

What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

Radiohead is underrated as well!!! I love Radiohead!

of course you do, you're cool!

given the election year, here's some more RH...

Electioneering - Radiohead

I will stop, I will stop at nothing.
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
Ha ha ha

Riot shields, voodoo economics,
it's just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F.
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.

Here is one of my all time favs [particularly as performed by Nina Simone]

"(I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be) Free"

Written by Billy Taylor & Dick Dallas

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

I wish I could share
All the love that's in my heart
Remove all the bars that keep us apart
And I wish you could know how it is to be me
Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
Well I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
And I'd sing cos I know how it feels to be free

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
And I wish I could say all the things that I wanna say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear
For the whole wide world to hear

and one from my fav songwriter of them all...

Dirt in the Ground
(Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan)

What does it matter, a dream of love or a dream of lies
We're all gonna be in the same place when we die
Your spirit don't leave knowing your face or your name
And the wind through your bones is all that remains

And we're all gonna be,
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

The quill from a buzzard the blood writes the word
I want to know am I the sky or the bird
'Cause hell is boiling over and heaven is full
We're chained to the world and we all gotta pull

And we're all gonna be,
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

Now the killer was smiling with nerves made of stone
He climbed the stairs and the gallows groaned
And the people's hearts were pounding they were throbbing, they
were red
As he swung out ofver the crowd I heard the hangman said

We're all gonna be,
We're all gonna be
Just dirt in the ground

Now Cain slew Abel, he killed him with a stone
The sky cracked open and the thunder groaned
Along a river of flesh, can these dry bones live?
Ask a king or a beggar and the answer they'll give

Is we're all gonna be,
We're all gonna be just
Dirt in the ground

Gansta Dresta:

Gangsta Dresta:
Everyday its a new rapper, claimin to be dapper then
the Dresta, softer then a bitch but portrayed the roll
gangster, ain't broke a law in yer life, yet every time you rap
you yap about the guns and knifes, just take a good look
at the Nigga, and you'll capture the fact, that the bastard is
simply just an actor, who mastered the bang and the slang
and the Mental, of Niggaz in Compton, wattz, and South Central
never ever once have you ran with the turf, yet in every verse you
claim you used to do the dirt, but tell me who's a witness
to your fuckin work, see ya never had no buiness, so
save the drama jerk, Niggaz straight kill me
knowin that they pranksters, this is going out to
you studio gangsters,see i did dirt, put in work, and

think ya started tryin to bang around the time of the peace treaty
wearin khackis and mob while ya rhyme, little fag
try to sag, but ya flooding at the same time,
and your set don't accecpt ya, so ya scared to kick it with yer homies
'cuz ya know they don't respect ya, So Nigga please check

see, young Niggaz like me, will break ya off somethin,
claimin my city, but Dre you ain't from Compton
Niggaz like ya'll is what i call Wanna be's it aint shit compared
to Real Motherfuckin' G's

poppin on this track, we ruthless
Yo Dre, wassup *bang*

Eazy:
I never met an OG who never did shit wrong

and ya Doggy Dogg, think yer all honk and shit
both of you bitches, can come and suck my Doggy dick
beatin a bitch don't make ya shit, but then again some Niggaz
think it makes a man, Damn it's a trip
how a Nigga could switch so quick from wearin lipstick
to smokin on Chronic at picnics, and now ya think yer bigga
but to me you ain't nothin but a bitch ass Nigga
that ain't worth a food stamp, and at
Death Row, i hear yer gettin treated like Boot camp

pumped with a Smith and Wesson, learn a lesson from the Eaz
Stay in your place and don't step to Real motherfuckin G's

In an Aeroplane over the sea by neutral Milk Hotel

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me

And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I'm keeping here with me

What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anne's ghost all around
Hear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees

Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
And now we keep where we don't know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don't even know his name

What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I'll be laughing out loud
I'll be laughing with everyone I see

"Please, mother mercy
Take me from this place
And the long winded curses
I hear in my head
Words never listen
And teachers OH they never learn
Now I'm warm from the candle
But I feel too cold to burn

He came from an island
And he died from the street
He hurt so bad like a soul breaking
But he never said nothing to me
So say hello to heaven

New like a baby
Lost like a prayer
The sky was your playground
But the cold earth is your bed
Smooth like whisper
She knows that love heals all wounds with time
Now it seems like too much love
Is never enough, you better seek out
Another road 'cause this one has
Ended abrupt, say hello to heaven...."

The Rooster Moans by Iron and Wine

Crack of dawn, the rooster moans
Wake up boy, you're far from home
Serpentine, the tracks in flames
Longest path the devil laid
Led you straight aboard this rusty train

Lift your head because you can't sleep
Bite your lip because you can't eat
Darkest den the devil made
Jesus weeps but he's been paid
Not to ride inside this rusty train

Buzzard's breath, the rooster moans
Stow it boy, you're far from home
Stow your sorrow, stow your fear
What did you do to end up here?
End up on the devil's rusty train

Or why los angeles dont drop into the ocean
I cant unfold the layers of mystery
Or piece together the tragedy of history
cuz those lucky suckers they dont have to work
Big 3 d billboards and big 30 foot smurfs
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked and famous

I met a poet said she didnt like the smell of it
Then took her clothes off in a restaurant for the hell of it
I met a dj who lived in seclusion reality and sobriety were her only delusions

And those lucky bastards they dont have to work
Big 3 d billboards and big 30 foot smurfs
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked and famous

Woo uh hoo hoo hoo
Wow ah hoo hoo hoo

Well dont get a nosebleed dont get upset
We cant be naked and famous just yet
Theres a big gold dollar sign on the sunset strip
And you can send your friend a postcard it aint worth the trip

Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked
Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked

Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked

Mr. T Experience LYRICS - Even Hitler Had A Girlfriend Lyrics
I still haven't found a girlfriend,
Though i've tried a lot.
So, can you help me please,
It's tougher than i thought.

The odds are pretty good,
but the goods are pretty odd.
Though at this point,
I'll take anything you've got.

I see this all the time,
Nice girls in love with jerks,
What could they be thinking?
Tell me how it works.

If i got some problems,
Well i wouldn't be the first.
But the ones I have in mind are even worse.

And even Hitler had a girlfriend,
Who he could always call,
That would always be there for him
In spite of all his faults
He was the worst guy ever.
reviled and despised,
Even Hitler had a girlfriend
So why can't I?
Why can't I?

Life is full of contradictions
Hard to understand
And for every happy woman,
There's a lonely man

Nixon had his puppy.
Charles Manson had his clan
God forbid that i get a girlfriend.

Even Hitler had a girlfriend
Who he could call his own,
To sweeten days of bitterness,
and feeling all alone

I'm not as bad as Hitler,
But that doesn't mean a thing,
Since they'd rather be with Hitler, more than me
I don't see, why they'd rather be with Hitler,
more than me.

The Toadies make a great song that starts out sweet and becomes darker as it progresses called Tyler:

And she runs through her days with a smile on her face
And she runs, and she waits, and I wait
We can drive to anyplace, day or night, across the state
And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up

I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!

I stumble in the hallway, outside her bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door

I will be with her tonight!

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

by Gordon Lightfoot

these verses...

"...Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the ruins of her ice water mansion
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams,
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.

And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
The church bell chimed, 'til it rang 29 times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald."

MC 900 Foot Jesus - The City Sleeps

Stealing down an ally on a cold dark night
I see a halo in the rain around the street light
I stop and look, and listen to the sound
As the raindrops penetrate the silence all around
Alone, I gaze into the glistening street
The distant thunder echoing my heartbeat
Urging me on to a secret goal
Away from the light from this lamp on a pole
So I turn, slip away into the rain
Drifting like a spirit through the shadows in the lane
Clutching the tools of my trade in my hand
An old box of matches and a gasoline can
Darkness envelopes the scene like a shroud
A veil of emptiness hangs from the clouds
Filling up the cracks in this desolate place
Cradled by the night in an icy embrace

Moving to the town like a ghost in the rain
A dim reflection in a dark window pane
Blackness beckons from every side
Creeping all around like an incoming tide
A broken window in an empty house
I slip inside and begin to douse
The whole place with the fuel that will feed the fire
And push back the night, taking me higher
On out of the darkness in a defeaning roar
The match in my hand is the key to the door
A simple turn of the wrist will suffice
To open a passage to paradise
I pause, I think about the past and the gloom
The smell of gasoline permiates the room
Everyone has a little secret he keeps
I light the fires while the city sleeps

(Like the 4th of July)

The match makes a graceful auk to the floor
And time stands still as I turn for the door
Which expoldes in a fireball and throws me to the street
I hit the ground running with the flames at my feet
Reaching for the night which encoils in the fire
The raindrops hiss like a devilish choir
Dying in the flames with a terrible sound
Calling all the names of the sleepers all around
But then in the arms of the night, they lay
Their dreams sprout wings and fly away
Out of the houses in a gathering flock
Swarming overhead as I hurry down the block
I make my escape with the greatest of ease
And savor the darkness, drop to my knees
And the lightless window, my hand on the latch
I reach in my pocket, and pull out a match

(Like the 4th of July)

Take it like a man

Hang on son of mine
Storm's blowin' up your horizon

Change is come
Keep your dignity
Take the high road
Take it like a man

Listen up son of mine
Momma got something to tell you
All about growin' pains
Life will pound away
Where the light don't shine, son
Take it like a man

Suck it up son of mine
Thunder blowin' up your horizon

Change is come
Keep your dignity
Take the high road
Take it like a man

Momma said life awaits (to ? her)
Like a kidney stone (to ? her)
Its just a broken heart, son
This pain will pass away

My favorite lyrics of all time include:

"Free Bird"

If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

"Locomotive Breath"

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all-time loser,
Headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping --
Steam breaking on his brow --
Thank God, he stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
In bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees --
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.
He hears the silence howling --
Catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideon's Bible --
Open at page one --
God stole the handle and
The train won't stop going --
No way to slow down.

"Stairway To Heaven"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

"Lawyers, Guns & Money"
Well, I went home with the waitress
The way I always do
How was I to know
She was with the Russians, too

I was gambling in Havana
I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money
Dad, get me out of this

I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck
Between the rock and the hard place
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck
And I'm down on my luck

Now I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

Send lawyers, guns and money...

My favorite lyrics would be for Rammstein's Spring.

Spring (Jump)
From the album Rosenrot

Auf einer Brücke ziemlich hoch
Hält ein Mann die Arme auf
Da steht er nun und zögert noch
Die Menschen strömen gleich zuhauf
Auch ich lass mir das nicht entgehen
Das will ich aus der Nähe sehen
Ich stell mich in die erste Reihe
und schreie

Der Mann will von der Brücke steigen
Die Menschen fangen an zu hassen
Bilden einen dichten Reigen
Und wollen ihn nicht nach unten lassen
So steigt er noch mal nach oben
Und der Mob fängt an zu toben
Sie wollen seine Innereien
Und schreien

Spring
Erlöse mich
Spring
Enttäusch mich nicht
Spring für mich
Spring ins Licht
Spring

Jetzt fängt der Mann zu weinen an
Heimlich schiebt sich eine Wolke
fragt sich Was hab ich getan
vor die Sonne es wird kalt
Ich wollte nur zur Aussicht gehen
die Menschen laufen aus den Reihen
und in den Abendhimmel sehen
Und sie schreien

Spring

Sie schreien
Spring
Erlöse mich
Spring
Enttäusch mich nicht
Spring für mich
Spring ins Licht
Spring

Heimlich schiebt sich eine Wolke
vor die Sonne es wird kalt
Doch tausend Sonnen brennen nur für dich
Ich schleich mich heimlich auf die Brücke
Tret ihm von hinten in den Rücken
Erlöse ihn von dieser Schmach
und schrei ihm nach

Spring

Spring
Erlöse dich
Spring
Enttäusch mich nicht
Spring für mich
Spring
Enttäusch mich nicht

------------------------------
English translation

On a bridge, quite high
A man holds his arms open
There he stands and still hesitates
Right away the people swarm in droves
I won't miss out on it either
I want to see it up close
I get into the first row
And scream

The man wants to climb from the bridge
The people begin to hate
They form a dense crowd
And don't want to let him down
So he climbs back up
And the mob begins to rage
They want his innards
And scream

Jump
Redeem me
Jump
Don't disappoint me
Jump for me
Jump into the light
Jump

Now the man begins to cry
A cloud moves in secret
Asking himself what have I done
in front of the sun, it gets cold
I just wanted to see the view
the people break ranks
and look into the evening sky
And they scream

Jump

They scream
Jump
Redeem me
Jump
Don't disappoint me
Jump for me
Jump into the light
Jump

A cloud moves in secret
in front of the sun, it gets cold
But a thousand suns burn just for you
I creep onto the bridge in secret
and kick him in the back from behind
I redeem him from this shame
and I scream to him

Jump

Jump
Redeem yourself
Jump
Don't disappoint me
Jump for me
Jump
Don't disappoint me

When I Paint My Masterpiece - Bob Dylan

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
You can almost think that you're seein' double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room,
Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece.
She promised that she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece.

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum,
Dodging lions and wastin' time.
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em,
Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb.
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory,
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese.
Someday, everything is gonna be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece.

Sailin' 'round the world in a dirty gondola.
Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels,
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried.
Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles,
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside.
Newspapermen eating candy
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent
When I paint my masterpiece.

Cowgirl In the Sand - Neil Young

Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place at your command
Can I stay here for a while
Can I see your sweet sweet smile
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
Its the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band begun to rust
After all the sin weve had
I was hopin that we turn back
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
Its the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

Hello woman of my dreams
Is this not the way it seems
Purple words on a grey background
To be a woman and to be turned down
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same
Its the woman in you that makes you want to play this game.

Murder By Death - Until Morale Improves, the Beatings Will Continue
I walked the road from Tucson to San Antonio
with the smell of blood on my breath.
Ninety days of sweat and dirt feels like one night
when you've got nothing left.
'Till there's nothing left to do but die.
Buckshot is my bread
and I'll drink whiskey instead of water
cause I can't stand to be sober in this place.
Your hands on my face every step of the way,
tryin' to peel away the pain.

From Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them? That cd has always reminded me of The Gunslinger. I've asked the singer in the band, he said there was no connection but that a lot of people think there is.

My favorite band from the best cd they ever made.
Rilo Kiley - "Spectacular Views"
In steep cliffs with rocks all piled up mysteries of your passing luck
Ages past shells and bits of bone forming new limestone
to give things their turn
There are no bad words for the coast today

You never knew why you felt so good
in the strangest of places
Like in waiting rooms and long lines that made you late and mall parking lots
on holidays

There are no bad words for the coast today
when we hold our breath until nothing's left
it all starts to fade

We can see the stars from where the birds make their homes
staring back at us
Indifferent but distanced perfectly projected endlessly
it's so fucking beautiful

There are no bad words for the coast today
then you ask what's a palisade
and if we're too late for happiness?

"Do you remember, when we first moved in together,
Your piano took up half the living room.
You played me boogie woogie,

You said, "We're playing house"
And you say, "That we still are"

Final rap battle from 8 mile, Eminem vs Papa Doc

Now everybody from the 313,
put your mother-fuckin hands up and follow me,
everybody from the 313 put your mother-fuckin hands up.
Look, look,

Now while he stands tough,
notice that this man does not have his hands up.
The Free World got you gassed up
but whos afraid of the big bad woof?

1, 2, 3 and to the 4
1pac, 2pac, 3pac, 4,
4pac, 3pac, 2pac, 1,
You're pac, he's pac, no pac, none.

This guy aint a mother-fuckin MC,
I know everything he's got to say against me,
I am white, I am a fuckin bum, I do live in a trailer with my mom,
My boy future is an uncle tom.

I do got a dumb friend named cheddar bob who shoots
himself in the leg with his own gun,
I did get jumped by all 6 of you chumps
and Wink did fuck my girl,
But I'm still standin here screamin "FUCK THE FREE WORLD!"
And never try and judge me dude
You don't know what the fuck i've been through.

But I know something about you,
You went to CRANBROOK, thats a private school,
Whats the matter dawg you embarrased?
This guys a gangster?
His real name's Clarence.

And Clarence lives at home with both parents,
And Clarence's parents have a real good marriage,
this guy dont wanna battle, hes shook,
cuz he knows there ain't no such thing as half way crooks!
He's scared to death,
He's scared to look in his fuckin yearbook, fuck CRANBROOK.

Fuck the beat I go accapella,
fuck a papa doc, fuck a clock, fuck a trailer, fuck everybody,
fuck y'all if you doubt me,
I'm a piece of fuckin white trash i say it proudly,
and fuck this battle i dont wanna win im outty,

This guy keeps screaming, he's paranoid,
Quick, someone get his ass another steriod!
blah blipity bloo blah blah blah blipity bloo blah
I didn't hear a word you said
HIPPITY HOP-BLAH!
Is that a tank top, or a new bra?
Fuck Snoop Dogg just got a fuckin' boob job!
Din't you listen to the last round meathead?
Pay attention you're saying the same shit that he said
(likecty split: I'MA FUCK YOU UP!)
Matter fact dawg, heres a pencil, go home, write some shit, make it suspenseful, and don't come back until something dope hits you,
fuck it, you can take the mic home with you!
Lookin' like a cyclone hit you,
Tank-top screaming "LOTTO I DON'T FIT YOU!"
You see how far them white jokes git you,
Boy's like "How's Vanilla Ice goan dis you?"
My Motto, fuck Lotto, i'll get the seven digits from your Mother for a dollar tomorrow"

"Why Do I Keep Counting?"
~The Killers

There's a plane and I am flying
There's a mountain waiting for me
Oh these years have been so trying

I don't know if I can use them
Am I strong enough
To be the one?
Will I live to have some children?

Help me get down,
I can make it,
Help me get down

If I only knew the answer
I wouldn't be bothering you, father

If I only knew the answer
And If all our days are numbered
Then why do I keep counting

My sugar's sweet, so attainable
This behavior's so unexplainable
The days just slip and slide
Like they always did
The trouble is my head
Won't let me forget

I took one last good look around
So many unusual sounds
I gotta get my feet on the ground

Help me get down
I can make it, help me get down
If I only knew the answer...
And if all our days are numbered,
Would you help me get down? (I can make it, help me get down)
(Help me get down)
(I can make it, help me get down)
If I only knew the answer...

If I change my way of living
And If I pave my streets with good times
Will the mountain keep on giving

And if all of our days are numbered
Then why do I keep counting

I'm the Disco fucker of the new generation,
I'm in line with active invention.
Here's a fist to forward your fucking revolution,
Head full of ten o' clock education.

Military action gives me justice and American solution,
It's the headline of the baby in arms.
Hand to hand darkness that shuts the curtain on this week's call to arms.

IMPACT! [x4]

Running runway operations, turning the machine,
It's another vote of confidence to booming world war economy,
Television ethic of crisis on demand.
This is advancement, this is entertainment.

IMPACT!

Was it Iraq, or Kosovo, Korea, or Japan,
Panama, Vietnam, Great Britain, or the Father Land?
Can you hear the dream at night falling in the sky?
Marching with God, throwing stones across the ocean.

It's this week's topic of discussion, a headline of the past.
It won't make an impact unless it's fucking Armageddon.
Nine shots to the head my God, I'm still fucking breathing.
Coming at you live on T.V.

An excerpt from 30 Seconds to Mars' - Valhalla :wub:

I am done
With this war
I will spit right in the face of all you whores
In the hope
That you see
Where you've been

It's the fame
It's the drugs
It's the social circle that you're not part of
It's the fear
It's everybody else, it can't be me

You're the reason I can't control myself
You are the reason I can't control myself
You're the reason I can't control myself
You are the reason I can't control myself

It's the world
On its knees
It's the heaven that everyone seems to need
It's the light
It's the focus that you cannot seem to find

The fame
The fear
The social circle that you can't get near
The drugs

It's everybody else, it can't be you

I'll Just Fall by Lucero

i think i'll just stay right down here on this floor
'cause if i get back up, i'll only fall down more
it ain't the liquor; it ain't the beer that keeps me down
it ain't the sad songs or the heartache
it ain't even this town
well i must've had a pretty good time to end up here
made a pretty good run; caught up with me, my dear
there's no need to make a fuss 'cause i'll be alright
just let me lay here a while, 'till i can stand up right

now i'm just a little bit tired, that's all
and don't make me get up, 'cause i'll just fall

now please stop talking so loud and just let me sleep
i ain't in nobody's way; they can step over me
and i think i'll stay right down here on this floor
'cause if i get back up, i'll only fall down more

now i'm just a little bit tired, that's all
and don't make me get up, 'cause i'll just fall

Trapped in the elevator of your mind
Is it real, what will you find.Behind the door?
Your imagination puts you in a bind
Around you, there's a cloud of gloom
Swallow the key, locked yourself in the room
Can't see outside of your universe...
Let go, release, you hold the key
It's time we evaporate into the breeze
We are nothing, we are something
Let go, release, you hold the key
It's time we evaporate into the breeze
We are nothing, we'll be something
Welcome to the desert of my soul
You can stay if you like
There's room for one more....
There's room for one more

The Politics of Starving by Against Me!

It's time for some real world politics
Economics, history, math and english.
Born and raised and bred walking a thin line,
between lost and succeeding and don't ever care about.
The rules aren't changing it if you really tell it like it is
Threats always been there, terror always happens.
For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said.
All we have are these pictures of us.
If it doesnt matter now, then it never really did,
And without this, we might as well be dead.
They're all black and white people,
And that doens't have anything to do with us.
After all these years its still an arms race,
After all these years they still dont fucking get it.
Lives and cultures matter more than capitalist interest.
It's the FBI; its the CIA; the SAF; the IMF, from HMOs to MTV. Fuck you.
For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said.
All we have are these pictures of us.
And if it doesn't matter now, then it never really did,
Without this, we might as well be dead.
When you are so hungry that you'd believe anything,
They're selling you the politics of starving.
And what the fuck does that mean to us?

Kicked out of the world
My come down was amazing
Like your burnt out culture

Regress sonic sun man
Kick start it and reload
The fire now burning
Like your world out of control
Why so cold

'cause you're blown

The wicked try to own ya
Economic styrofoam
Used to be dreaming
Now I'm locked in a stranglehold

The regress is defiant
Like the aging on my face
Crowned in hatred's glory
Just like the human race
Why so cold

'cause you're blown

Put your money where your mouth is
So I can shove it down your throat
Like a hotshot made of plastic
With a shattered ego

The ticket to the White House
Is not a blowjob for the poor
The rich man gets a suck off
As the President's his Whore
Why so cold

'cause you're blown

This generation
Descends as witches
All that I onced loved
Now silent in the sun
Feel as you scorn them
As your tomorrow's burning
This generation
Lies dead before me

I think this is one of the best Dylan songs.

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You Died at Five by The Devil is Electric

lets go back to a time
you didn't watch the minutes of your days pass by
when you were young and everyday
had something new to learn, to think, to offer you
you spend your days playing games, not looking back
not thinking what the future brings
you felt so free and had your peace
and thats the way you always wanted it to be

what you want and what you get
are very very different all right
and all the dreams you dreamed at night
soon will fade away in the daylight
and little by little you take away
the kid in you that wants to stay alive
it seems the more you swim you sink
and it seems like a waste to try and fight

now you say that you can't take it
you can feel your heart breaking
and I think that you're just waking
up from the nap you've been taking
and you don't know what you can do
and I don't know what to tell you
cause I've got all my problems too
how does that sound to you?

Lets take
everything we can
its the least that you can do
it's not stealing anyway
its taking back the things
they stole from you

tick tick tick
the bloods so thick
its hard to tell what games they play
chip chip chip
with the chisel and pick
to slowly work your life away
its not the way its gonna be
to really know our enemies
its not really any different though
I'm afraid it might be you and me

and now
you say
you've taken all that you can take
but you don't know how to change
and you don't know what you can do or say

you've already said enough
to make a change
just the words coming out of your mouth is all it takes
so write it down
scream it loud
put it in song
all day long

never felt that you fit in
the world has something wrong with it
you're right (X2)

life should mean more to you
and you should mean more to you
its true (X2)

now you know how you can live
and now you know what you can do
so fight (X2)

your listening to the voice again
the one you lost when you were a kid
its you (X4)

Another stranger me- Blind Guardian.

A seed of doubt
It exists
And it grows
A glimpse of life
From somewhere deep within
Awake and understand

Is there anyone else here?
Somebody's screaming
Please help me
Let's find out now
That I am not dreaming
Welcome to my damnation
Here it comes the real me

I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should have known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

That's
When the ice
Will break away

I can't get out of here
Anymore
Cause none of my keys
Fit the door
There's fear and anger
Hate and love
I must confess
It's out of hand

It's physic
It's cynic
Still cynic
All my laughter

It's cynic
Just manic
It's cynic
All her laughter

If there's anyone in
It soon will be over
We'll burn out
Our soul's aflamed
And we're on our own now
Give up you cruel invasion
You're insane I'll show you

I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should have known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me

Out and gone
Can't resist
Cold and sore
The bolt of pain
Keeps ripping through my head
I can take no more

Don't tell anyone else but I
Do not believe her
She hates me
I cloud my mind
She's a deceiver
I can feel cruel vibrations
Would you like to meet me

I didn't know
I couldn't hear the answer
My mind was blank
I should have known
I hold it back but somehow
There is someone else
Another stranger me
Another stranger me

A cookie for anyone who can guess which DT character it's about.

This is sucha great song to sing in a car, at the top of your lungs, with the windows down:

We Did It All For Don by Against Me!

Please tell me why we couldn't stay
Don't let this feeling ever go away
Let this memory forever be inside of me
Through every hour of every day
It's with the company of these friends
That we drove on through the night
We were carried by the wheels of armageddon

We're gonna force ourselves to live
Thankful it's hurt more than we've ever felt
It's just our means to an end

Please tell me why we couldn't stay
Don't let this feeling ever go away
Let this memory forever be inside of me
Through every hour of every day
It's with the company of these friends
That we drove on through the night
We were carried by the wheels of armageddon

And honestly we were armed with our best intentions
Maybe those intentions alone
are just enough to get us anywhere but here
In the middle of America
Six cylinders will take us further than any president
The same promises that we forgot the last time
There's no difference between staying and a bullet in the head

So fucking tell me why we couldn't stay
Don't let this feeling ever go away
Let this memory forever be inside of me
Through every hour of every day
It's with the company of these friends
That we drove on through the night
We were carried by the wheels of armageddon

Maybe it's gonna come from the radio
Or the next 8 hour day
Driving to the next town
A collect call home to your best friend
We are the company we keep
We could live off of dumpsters if we have to
Sell our blood by the pint to make rent
This kind of dignity doesn't come easy
But you'll never find it for sale

And that's why we couldn't stay
But never let that feeling ever go away
Kept to memory, inside of us
Through every hour, through every day
Until we die
It's with the company of those friends
We drove on through the night
Behind the wheels of armageddon

Has Been by William Shatner

Has been
Has been
You talkin' to me?
You talkin' to me?
You callin' me, has been?
What'd you say your name is?
Jack
Never done jack
Glad to meet ya
Who's your friend?
Dick
Don't say dick
Whaddya know?
And you friend, what's your handle?
Don
Two thumbs Don

Riding on their armchairs
They dream of wealth and fame
Fear is their companion
Nintendo is their game
Never done jack and two thumbs Don
And sidekick don't say dick
We'll laugh at others failures
Though they have not done shit

I've heard of you
The ready-made connecting with the ever-ready
Yeah
The never was talking about still trying
I got it
Forever bitter gossiping about never say die
May I inquire what you've been doing mister?
Jack
Never done Jack
And you partner, what's the News of the World, Dick?
I don't say dick
Don, of all the people you must be the Tattler
Two thumbs up
What are you afraid of?
Failure?
So am I
Has been implies failure
Not so
Has been is history
Has been was
Has been might again

Retrovertigo by Mr. Bungle

Before you advertise
All the fame is implied
With no fortune unseen
Sell the rights
To your blight
Time-machine

While I'm dulled by excess
And a cynic at best
My art imitates crime
Paid for by
The allies
So invest

Now I'm finding truth is a ruin
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes
Mesmerized
There's a vintage thirst returning
But I'm sheltered by my channel-surfing
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

A tribute to false memories
With conviction
Cheap imitation
Is it fashion or disease?
Post-ironic
Remains a mouth to feed

Sell the rights
To your blight
And you'll eat

Now I'm finding truth is a ruin
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes
Mesmerized
See the vintage robot wearied
Then awakened by revision theories
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

3rd Planet by Modest Mouse

And this song by Belle and Sebastian:
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
A trail for the devil to erase

San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
About the saddest ending of a book you ever had to read
The statue’s crying too and well he may

I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
I love you my responsibility has found a place
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Come wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Maybe, but not what she deserves

Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for
a doorway
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
a flower
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Meet you at the statue in an hour

05-01-2008, 02:22 PM

One night we lay beside each other, so close to a sweat
With two fans circling overhead, we sleep on borrowed time

And the traffic lights direct empty roads, the stars can't break the city sky
But they still try despite what they know is already true

And tomorrow we'll take heed just like a storm waiting for a calm
I can feel everything coming, in my chest my heart's already pounding
My head's on far off highways, 16 years old, on a road that never ends
Might I drive into something that looks like a sunset
It lasts forever, and I never look back

From Hoboken to L.A.
From Portland to Gainesville
From the Great Plains to Niagra
From Route 66 Straight to California
Electric lights carry the night
We move in 4/4 time
On feet, on wheels, and in the sky
Yes, we're going cause we'd die if we stayed here
And those dying dreams will carry what's good
And real and pure

And the rest can burn in hell

And for the 4 year old girl found dead in a dumpster, shot by her mother,
her eulogy is the sound of construction through head to head traffic.
Today is just another day.
And me and my friends are just growing into the drunks and the liars that we've always hated.

Every shortcoming has trapped us, every mistake is now our own infinite failure.
So steal every chance we get, every advantage is taken when no one's looking.
Well hidden behind closed doors and we won't stop untill we are people we've decided we should be.

I wanna be a shot heard around the world, fuckin' unstoppable.
This distance is not something we'll regret.
Between here and now and then and today and forever and days after that till the very end.

Red Rubber Ball
by Cyrkle

I should have known you'd bid me farewell
There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well
Now, I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

You never care for secrets I confide
For you, I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride
Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live
Stolen minutes of your time were all you had to give

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

The story's in the past with nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

Oh, I think it's gonna be alright
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

You came to me within a dream
Not everyone is who they seem
All these words we can't redeem
Like the great magic of our world
Corroborated by your words
Splitting planets into thirds

Baby, oh baby
Baby, my baby
Baby, oh babe
I miss you
lalala
Baby, oh baby
Baby, my babe
Baby, oh babe
I miss you

To all the leaves that fall in vain
While God and Goddess go insane
All these words in your domain
The watches kill time as the books read
Inadvertently we bleed
Fighting for what we deceive

Baby, oh baby
Baby, my baby
Baby, oh babe
I miss you
lalala
Baby, oh baby
Baby, my babe
Baby, oh babe
I miss you

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Now why cant you see that you always perturb me so
Nearing the end of the world, just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Why cant you see that you always perturb me so
Nearing the end of the world, leave me alone
Leave me alone

Baby, oh baby
Baby, my baby
Baby, oh babe
I miss you
lalala
Baby, oh baby
Baby, my babe
Baby, oh babe
I miss you

Optimistic - Radiohead

Flies are buzzing around my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem give me some

You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

This one's optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough

I'd really like to help you man
I'd really like to help you man.....
Nervous messed up marionette
Floating around on a prison ship

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
Dinosaurs roaming the earth

Some of my favs:

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

Pack.. and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

These are some of my favourite songs:

To Be Alive - Mesh

Everyone says it's all in my head
The chattering freak that bores me to sleep from beneath the floor
It's nothing more

And I'd have to resign
It's just noise in my mind
Everyone agrees I should really be pleased
Couplets in the mind are creatively perfect for rhyme
I'd of course agree
They've yet to imply
That I'm losing my mind

I'm in my own world
You're outside
It feels so imperfect
I wonder why
Your world
Isn't mine
It feels so peculiar
To be alive

Everyone thinks it quirky and sweet
An image I'll compare when sedated and tied to a chair
I'll get the finest care
But I'd have to concede
That it's more than I need right now

I'm in my own world
You're outside
It feels so imperfect
I wonder why
Your world
Isn't mine
It feels so peculiar
To be alive

And I'd have to confess
That I'm not at my best
Right now

I'm in my own world
You're outside
It feels so imperfect
I wonder why
Your world
Isn't mine
It feels so peculiar
To be alive

People Like Me (With This Gun) - Mesh

I can watch you from my room
It's easy and free
But I could lie in your footsteps
And you'd never see me

Because people like you look right through me
And still don't see the ground
But not today
I'll make you concentrate
And I don't need to make a sound

And I'll never be
Alone again
I'll really make you see me differently

I could wait in the shadows
Not here on the street
I just want somebody to hear you
When I force you to speak

And I'll never be
Alone again
I'll really make you see me differently

I could die and who would ever know?
I could wait but no-one ever shows
But I can make you look with this gun
So maybe I'm not like everyone

I'm just an ordinary man
With extraordinary hands
I don't want to hear your answers
I don't have the big plan

But focus on this
And realise
That you'd better be paying attention
When I look in your eyes

And I'll never be
Alone again
I'll really make you see me differently

I could die and who would ever know?
I could wait but no-one ever shows
But I can make you look with this gun
So maybe I'm not like everyone

There's people like me everywhere

Actually all their songs are fantastic :clap:

Some things in life are bad

Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble give a whistle

Help things turn out for the best. And
Always look on the bright side of life
Always look on the light side of life

SICK!

Walk down the realm
Hint to no one that this
Generic bond exists
Evil shows another side, and

Like before
Makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance
Dig in deeper, can't reveal
Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame...

SICK!!!

So fed up
What's with the scenes?
Observe and leave instead
This pity wagon
Penetrates my skin
So sensitive
Makes me sick, and

Like before
Makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance
Dig in deeper, can't reveal
Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame

The old and the aged
pulled
And never knew what hit

Like before
Makes no sense
Never coming, always leaving
Right before
Hooked on substance
Dig in deeper, can't reveal
Why we leave well enough alone
Never thought about the shame...

well since we are talking Python lyrics, here's another great set...

There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.

You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because...

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,...
...God get quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed...
...In your neighbourhood!

Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
God needs everybody's.
Mine!
And mine!
And mine!

Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaaate!

The Importance Of Idle
~Oasis

"I lost my faith in the summer time
Cause it don't stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I'm not complaining.....

But I don't mind
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
I'll be fine
If you give me a minute
A man's got a limit
I can't get a life
if my heart's not in it"

At the Drive-In lyrics are amazing to me, absolutely poetic imagery.

One Armed Scissor by At the Drive-In

yes this is the campaign
slithered entrails
in the cargo bay
neutered is the vastness
hallow vacuum check the
oxygen tanks
they hibernate
but have they kissed the ground
pucker up and kiss the asphalt now
tease this amputation
splintered larynx
it has access now

cut away, cut away
send transmission from
the one armed scissor
cut away, cut away

banked on memory
mummified circuitry
skin graft machinery
sputnik sickles found in the seats

self-destruct sequence
this station is non-operational
species growing
bubbles in an IV loitering

unknown origin
is this the comfort of being afraid
solar eclipsed
black out the vultures
as they wait

dissect a trillion sighs away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember
'cause i'm a million miles away
will you get this letter
jagged pulp sliced in my veins
i write to remember...

Creeping Death - Metallica:

Slaves
Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word, live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait
Something must be done, four hundred years

So let it be written
So let it be done

So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go, land of Goshen
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong down the Nile
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man
Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

I
Rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and floor, final darkness
Blood
Lambs blood painted door, I shall pass

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh's son
I'm creeping death

This place is so empty
My thoughts are so tempting
I don’t know how it got so bad
Sometimes it’s so crazy
That nothing can save me
But it’s the only thing that I have

Don't fret precious, I'm here
Step away from the window
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Counting bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do
Like I do
Safe from pain and truth and choice
and other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you
Like I do
Just stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep

Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Pay no mind to the rabble
Pay no mind to the rabble
Head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from
A will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from
Your enemies and your choices son
They're one in the same I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

Swayin to the rhythm of the new world order
Count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums
The boogeymen are coming
The boogeymen are coming
Keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of the war drums

Stay with me
Safe and ignorant
Just stay with me
Hold you and protect you from the other ones
The evil ones
Don't love you son
Go back to sleep

There Is
~Boxcar Racer
(It's so simple, yet so sweet to me)

Those notes you wrote me, I've kept them all
I've given a lot of thought, of how to write you back this fall
With every single letter, in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that loves a girl
Do you care if I don't know what to say?
Will you sleep tonight?
Will you think of me?
Will I shake this off?
Pretend it's all okay
That there's someone out there who feels just like me?
.......
There is

why can't you see you torture me
you're already thinking about someone else
when he comes home
you'll be in his arms and i'll be gone
but i know my day will come
i know someday i'll be the only one

so now you wait for his spark
you know it'll turn you on
he's gonna make you feel
the way you want to feel
when he starts to lie
when he makes you cry
you know i'll be there
my day will come i know
someday i'll be the only one

call me selfish
call me what you like
i think it's right
to want someone for all your own
and not to share her love
and i'll have my way
and won't have to say anyway
cause i've got you
you don't stand a chance

so now you wait for his cock
you know it'll turn you on
he's gonna make you feel
the way you want to feel
when he starts to lie
when he makes you cry
you know i'll be there
my day will come
i know someday i'll be the only one

my day will come
i know someday i'll be the only one

so you want perfection
i see your self destruction
you don't know what you want
it's gonna take you years to find out
i'm not giving up
and when you've had enough
you'll take your bruised little head
and you'll come running back to me
you know that i'm gonna be the only one.

Hell Yes by Alkaline Trio

I gave up on you a long time ago
How can you blame me?
We made plans to meet and you never showed
You kept me waiting
They said everything would work out just fine
They said you’d help me
But as it turns out it was all a lie
And they’re off someplace far away laughing at me

You’ve been there for me one time in my life
But it didn’t matter
You came and went so fast all my hope
And faith in you shattered
Alone here I sit alone in this room
No one to confide in
You watched all my dreams come apart at the seams
You laughed, you left, you went into hiding

Bless me dark father I have sinned
I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again
It keeps me warm, it makes you smile
You've been beneath me all the while
Hell yes

You gave up on me along time ago
I can’t say I blame you
I rejected the faith in your holy rays
Is what it comes down to
They said everything would work out just fine
I just went crazy
But I’m better now having a good time
Being selfish, and drunken, and vulgar, and lazy

Bless me dark father I have sinned
I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again
It keeps me warm, it makes you smile
Been beneath me all the while

Bless me dark father I can’t win
Without you I’m as good as dead
You keep me warm, you make me smile
You’ve been on my shoulder all the while

Whispering sweet nothings
Whispering sweet nothings
Whispering sweet nothings
You’ve been whispering sweet nothings
Hell Yes

We came to know
Like chattel out in the cold
We begged for months
We begged to know
Show kindness never found

Now we all belong
In the Saturdays of our youth
Cause we all have lost
So don't feel so aliened

We'd rise and fall
On pride and gain
Just defending ours, always defending ours
Well we must relate, know well we can't relate
We must relate, know well we can't relate

Now we all belong
In the Saturdays of our youth
Cause we all have lost
So don't feel so aliened

Feel this close
Just bring it closer
Closer, closer, let's see something new
Something New
Something New
Something New!

Now we all belong
In the Saturdays of our youth
Cause we all have lost
So don't feel so aliened

Now we all
Now we all

Breach Birth - Chevelle

Be brave, reshape
Can't force all into molds
Passing out schematics
Forcing all into molds

Once more about to change
Some try and fall beneath molds

Well it's your right so I'll keep on this path
Turning around
Bending the shapes
Cutting IT in
We could excel beyond the latter fools
Start a New tone
Hating the same
Empty the room

So create
Reclaim
Sovereign shapes
Tempting us
Ration out
Their schematics
Dare we live without molds?

So far what's left between
They try and fail beneath molds!

Well it's your right so I'll keep on this path
Turning around
Bending the shapes
Cutting IT in
We could excel beyond the latter fools!
Start a New tone
Hating the same
Empty the room

Feel locked in a room
And starting to choke
Enticing the shame
Awaken a world
Our own

Well it's your right so I'll keep on this path
Turning around
Bending the shapes
Cutting IT in
We could excel beyond the latter fools!
Start a New tone
Hating the same
Empty the room

So be brave
Reshape
Create
Reclaim

Sunday Morning Call
~Oasis

Here's another Sunday morning call
Yer hear yer head-a-banging on the door
Slip your shoes on and then out you crawl
Into a day that couldn't give you more
But what for?

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
You take what you want
But you won't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But i'm not sure if it ever works out right
But it's ok. It's all right

When yer lonely and you start to hear
The little voices in your head at night
You will only sniff away the tears
So you can dance until the morning light
At what price?

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
You take what you want
But you won't get it for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
But I'm not sure if it ever works out right
But it's ok. It's all right

And in your head do you feel
What you're not supposed to feel
When you take what you want
You don't get hope for free
You need more time
Cos your thoughts and words won't last forever more
And I'm not sure if it'll ever, ever, ever work out right
Will it ever, ever, ever work out right?
Cos it never, never, never works out right

Fiddler On The Green ~ Demons & Wizards

Sad voices they're calling,
"Our precious girl, she can't be gone".
How bitter this morning,
when daddy's darling,
went out and started her day.

Wasn't there a dream last night?
Like a spring never ending,
still the water runs clear
through my mind.
On the field I can see a fiddler,
the fiddler on the green and the sad boy.
"I took him too early".
"Would you mind...
Would you mind...
Would you mind...
if I take you?"

To be with you...
To be with you...
To be with you...
To be with you...

The sun seemed bright,
the air was clear, the air was clear.
A trick of light, turned red into green,
she saw the light.
Her face was pale,
her body smashed,
her beauty's gone.

"Isn't it a shame?"
the reaper said.
"He is quite alone here
and still waiting for you".
"Oh I really did fail for the first time",
spoke the fiddler, poor old fiddler.
The fiddler on the green,
the fiddler on the green.
It would be nice…

Take my hand!

Just hold my hand,
I'll take you there,
your pain will go away.

Come Home Angel
Dan Wilson

Oh love, the moment that we live now
Will stay with me forever and ever and ever
Too good, you're too perfect for this world
A visitor a wanderer from somewhere better

When they're calling all the angels
To their great departure place
Leave us earthly creatures to our fates

I'll be riding cross the desert
Trying to find you on your way
Change your mind before they close the gates
And it's too late...

Come home angel
Angel don't go
Come home angel
Angel don't go

Some nights I lie up and watch you sleep
And wonder what places and planets you dream on
Some day I'll come to an empty house
They'll call you back
A silent celestial beacon

When they're calling all the angels
To their great departure place
Leave us earthly creatures to our fates

I'll be riding cross the desert
Trying to find you on your way
Change your mind before they close the gates
And it's too late...

Come home angel
Angel don't go
Come home angel
Angel don't go

They're imaginary people
In a dream of seas and mountains
And the cities and the towns will all be gone
When they wake up
Wake up

I'll be riding cross the desert
Trying to find you on your way
Change your mind before they close the gates
Before it's too late...

Come home angel
Before it's too late
Angel don't go
Come home angel
Angel don't go

The Road
Everything But The Girl

You packed your books last night,
you break with the past tonight.
I hope you find some beach house
on the coast out there with plenty of light.

Cause I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song
And I'll keep a good thought for you.
And I'll keep a good thought for you.

You left us The Best of Frank
and on the back you signed your name.
One For My Baby was underlined again.

Now I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song,
And I'll keep a good thought for you -
If you're lonely think of me
I'll keep a good thought for you -
If you're lonely think of me

There's a couple you knew quite well,
they moved away last Spring.
And though he can't find suits
they don't miss much of anything.

They're raising a baby now
At least that's one gift that this world allows.
And I'll keep a good thought for you,
And I'll keep a good thought for you.

Cause I know the road is very long
But in my head I'll always hold your song,
And I'll keep a good thought for you -
If you're lonely think of me
And I'll keep a good thought for you -
If you're lonely think of me
And I'll keep a good thought for you.

Cry
Dan Wilson

One more long and lonely night left here on my own
Do you wanna make me wanna cry
Lost my baby in the fight don't know where you've gone
Do you wanna make me wanna cry

So I lie alone and I wonder where you've gone
And I dream you're mine wide awake

Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail I'll never die
Don't you wanna set me free we'll overwrite the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away

The devil was an angel once beautiful like you
Do you wanna make me wanna cry
I don't care how far you fall I'll catch you when you do
Do you wanna make me wanna cry

So I close my eyes try to hold my head up high
And I pray my soul not to break

Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail I'll never die
Don't you wanna set me free we'll overwrite the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away

Do you really wanna say goodbye
Do you wanna make me wanna cry

Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail no matter why
Don't you wanna set me free we'll overwrite the history
Turn to find our destiny, never turn away from me

Don't you wanna make me feel like I'm a thousand stories high
Don't you wanna make me feel I'll never fail I'll never die
Don't you wanna set me free we'll overwrite the history
Turn to find our destiny and never turn away

Do you really wanna say goodbye
Do you wanna make me wanna cry

Do you wanna make me wanna cry

"Bixby Canyon Bridge"

I descended a dusty gravel ridge
Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge
Until I eventually arrived
At the place where your soul had died.

Barefoot in the shallow creek,
I grabbed some stones from underneath
And waited for you to speak to me.

And the silence; it becamse so very clear
That you had long ago dissapeared.
I cursed myself for being surprised
That this didn't play like it did in my mind.

All the way from San Francisco
As I chased the end of your road
Cause I've still got miles to go.

And I want to know my fate
If I keep up this way.

And it's hard to want to stay awake
When everyone you need, they all seem to be asleep.
And you wonder if you missed your dream.

You can't see a dream
You can't see a dream.
You just can't see a dream.

And then it started getting dark.
I truged back to where the car was parked
No closer to any kind of truth
As I assume was the case with you.

+ 44 / "Little Death"

Please sleep, my darling, sleep
Your cry for inspiration
Never reaches ears on distant stars
And every night our lonely planet
Slides across the universe
And I won't pretend I understand

Please sleep, my darling, sleep
Your death by information
Won't disturb the peace on distant stars
And even when you lock the doors
And slide behind the unlit shades
None of us are strangers anymore

Fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Please, sleep my darling, sleep
Your car crash in slow motion
Won't upset the pace on distant stars
And one by one the years of our lives
Stumble as the moments pass
So please hold on, so please hold on

So fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

Please, sleep my darling, sleep
Please, sleep my darling, sleep

So fall asleep with the windows open
Come to me with the worst you've said and done
You'll close your eyes and see me
A little death makes life more meaningful
I stand no chance at all

***I love this fucking song :wub:
It always makes me think of two people who somehow telepathically reach out to each other at night. Like a secret meeting of the minds/hearts/souls. *shrugs

There is no future left at all

Open up, begin again
Let's go down the waterfall
Think about the good times and
Never look back
Never look back

What would I do?
What would I do?
If I did not have you?

Open up and let me in
Let's go down the waterfall
Have ourselves a good time

I will light the match this morning, so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
I will make my way, through, one more day in...hell

How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

I will hold the candle, till it burns up my arm
I'll keep takin' punches, until their will grows tired
I will stare the sun down, until my eyes go blind
I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind

how much difference does it make
how much difference does it make..
how much difference...

I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room

How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make...

Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the Highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
'Cause I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night, the night...

Even Hitler had a girlfriend by the Mr. T Experience

I still haven't found a girlfriend,
Though i've tried a lot.
So, can you help me please,
It's tougher than i thought.

The odds are pretty good,
but the goods are pretty odd.
Though at this point,
I'll take anything you've got.

I see this all the time,
Nice girls in love with jerks,
What could they be thinking?
Tell me how it works.

If i got some problems,
Well i wouldn't be the first.
But the ones I have in mind are even worse.

And even Hitler had a girlfriend,
Who he could always call,
That would always be there for him
In spite of all his faults
He was the worst guy ever.
reviled and despised,
Even Hitler had a girlfriend
So why can't I?
Why can't I?

Life is full of contradictions
Hard to understand
And for every happy woman,
There's a lonely man

Nixon had his puppy.
Charles Manson had his clan
God forbid that i get a girlfriend.

Even Hitler had a girlfriend
Who he could call his own,
To sweeten days of bitterness,
and feeling all alone

I'm not as bad as Hitler,
But that doesn't mean a thing,
Since they'd rather be with Hitler, more than me
I don't see, why they'd rather be with Hitler,
more than me.

Are you going to remain a slave for

Half The World Away
~Oasis

I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
Cause I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down.

And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit
I'd find me a hole and I'd live in it
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind

So here I go still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind if very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
Half the world away
Half the world away
I've been lost I've been found but I don't feel down

Faded is my memory of her
Like the sides of an old abandoned barn
She is running, playing
In sunlight, her hair so fine

Shadows creep along the hall
growing, as I fail to recall
Why she had to take her leave
while I can no longer dream

If, through to the end I
make a stand, again
It would be to know that she
may have a memory of me

That my love has no bounds
as I wither away in the ground
That she had no pain or doubt
Through her life without

Knowing that I gave her a beginning
if not a life, not in spite
but free to be all that she
can and will be

In the end it is just a memory
of her running in the sun
her hair so free, smiling
dancing with the wind

At her back I linger,
like the wind, pushing her
as I was once with her,
a guide and a light...

She smiled, and I was free
a memory touched
a memory
a memory
Fading....
Faded....

Most profound....Pink Floyd....

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

But the best all around for uniqueness and just how it rolls perfectly off your tongue...

Also, I agree with you about WZ as well. He was a brilliant songwriter. Some of my fav lyrics of his are in "Excitable Boy" and "Mr. Bad Example".

Some people listen to songs for the music, and some for the lyrics. I'm a lyrics person. My list of favorite lyrics is endless...here are a few that come to mind....

Every word of Light as the Breeze:
"She stands before you naked
You can see it, you can taste it
But she comes to you
Light as the breeze
You can drink or you can nurse it
It don't matter how you worship
As long as you're
Down on your knees

So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
At the cradle of the river
And the seas
And like a blessing come from heaven,
For something like a second,
I was healed, and my heart
Was at ease

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this

And you're weak and you're harmless
And you're sleeping in your harness
And the wind going wild
In the trees
And it's not exactly prison
But you'll never be forgiven
For whatever you've done
With the keys

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this

It's dark and it's snowing
Oh my love I must be going
The river is starting to freeze
And I'm sick of pretending
I'm broken from bending
I've lived too long
On my knees
And she dances so graceful
And your heart's hard and hateful
And she's naked
But that's just a tease
And you turn in disgust
From your hatred and from your love
And she comes to you
Light as the breeze

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this

There's blood on every bracelet
You can see it, you can taste it
And it's please baby
Please baby please
And she says, drink deeply, pilgrim
But don't forget there's still a woman
Beneath this
Resplendent chemise

So I knelt there at the delta
At the alpha and the omega
I knelt there
Like one who believes
And like a blessing come from heaven
For something like a second
I was cured, and my heart
Was at ease

O baby I waited
So long for your kiss
For something to happen
Oh-something like this" (originally by Leonard Cohen, but I've only heard the Billy Joel version)

"And I'd give up forever to touch you," Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls

"Imagine there's no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people, living for today." Imagine by John Lennon

"I have to drown out thoughts of you, so I don't lose my head. They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed. Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I"m alone. Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home." Hate Me by Blue October

And lastly, my favorite Werewolves of London lyric: "I saw a werewolf drinkin a pina colada at Trader Vic's And his hair was perfect."

Okay, VastOne talked about Warren Zevon's influence on SK, and everyone knows abotu Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner, but check out Bo Diddlys A Gunslinger from the Stand In Fire live album

"Bo Diddley's a gunslinger, the best of the best
He's got a gun at his hip and a rose on his vest."

So the way I figure it, SK got stoned one night and fell asleep listening to that song and woke up and Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner was on....and then a light went on!!

You nailed it Bluenose!

Wella said

John Fogerty

Gunslinger

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

Someone let the fences go
Wild eyed bunch moved in you know
Shootin' up the streets shoutin' everybody down
Dogs all runnin' loose

Wrecked the papers, closed the school
Tired old judge got roughed up too
No one left to make a stand
They whisper, "What's the use?"

I think we need a gunslinger
Somebody tough to tame this town
I think we need a gunslinger
There'll be justice all around

Orestes - A Perfect Circle

Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me in to your perfect circle

One womb
One shame
One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all

Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you

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

Give me one more medicated peaceful moment
Give me one more medicated peaceful moment

And I don't want to feel this
Overwhelming hostility
I don't want to feel this
Overwhelming hostility

Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue

Gotta cut away, clear away
Slip away and sever this
Umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you

Slip away and sever this

Keeping me from killing you

So haunting...

I cant explain glacial motion
Or why los angeles dont drop into the ocean
I cant unfold the layers of mystery
Or piece together the tragedy of history
cuz those lucky suckers they dont have to work
Big 3 d billboards and big 30 foot smurfs
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked and famous

I met a poet said she didnt like the smell of it
Then took her clothes off in a restaurant for the hell of it
I met a dj who lived in seclusion reality and sobriety were her only delusions

And those lucky bastards they dont have to work
Big 3 d billboards and big 30 foot smurfs
And everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked and famous

Woo uh hoo hoo hoo
Wow ah hoo hoo hoo

Well dont get a nosebleed dont get upset
We cant be naked and famous just yet
Theres a big gold dollar sign on the sunset strip
And you can send your friend a postcard it aint worth the trip

Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked
Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked
Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wanna be just like me Im naked

Wow wow yeah
Ah hoo hoo hoo
Whoo

Everybody wants to be naked and famous
Everybody wants to be just like me Im naked and famous

Sugars only sweetness
Salt is ocean tears
And you were my only weakness
For years and years and years
You little yellow sweetie
You were hiding in a jar
Now my mind is gone completely
Take off the lid and there you are

Youre my candy
Candy

Well the devil she made sweet candy
Took 6 days and nights to dream
On the 7th day she rested
Woke up early and made ice cream

Now the devil she must be a dentist
With deep jawbreaker eyes
Red rope hair gum drop lips
Cotton candy thighs

Youre my candy
Candy

Chocolate lava stole my body
And aftertaste stole my mind
Left me dangling down defenseless
And then sweet candy she said goodbye

Now my teeth are worn and useless
My eyes too sunk to see
My tongue swole up to twice its size
And all I wanna do is eat

Candy my candy
My candy my candy
Suckin on my candy

You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy
when skies are grey
you'll never know dear
how much i love you
please don't take my sunshine away

Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Rolling stone magazine sucked him dry and made him king
Froggie let rip with a big burp
And froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Mick jagger kissin frogies lips studying films of froggies hips
His eyes are closed cause hes off in a world of ecstacy
Where froggie folks get the froggie scene
And froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Watch him jump
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day

The rocket doctor came downtown to write prescription by the pound
And froggie spread it all around
And jumped all over the stage that day
Cause froggie jumped all over the stage that day

He got 50 000 in his flock
He plays arena animal rock
He can barely stand up straight but somehow he does
Make his way directly to the front of the stage and
Froggie jumps all over the stage that day

Watch him jump
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day

The show is over the band is gone the crowd is gone
His girlfriends gone his make ups all been sweated off
And hes all alone
He goes to fill that one last prescription
The one with the deadly description
He swallows it down
His brain explodes his eyes implode his tiny heart goes peuny pop
His shiny legs refuse to hop and he floats on down
To a buring place he looks around for a friendly face
The band is there patiently waitin for froggies brand new sonic creation
He starts to ribbit he starts to kick it
He starts to ribbit he starts to kick it
Froggie jumped all over the stage that day

Rolling stone magazine made him cry and missed the king
Froggie let rip with a big burp

Froggie jumped all over the stage that day
Froggie jumped all over the stage

Full Circle - Aerosmith

If I could change the world
Like a fairy tale
I would drink the Love
From your Holy Grail
I would start with Love
And tell ol' Beelzebub
To get outta town
'Cause you just lost your job

How did we get so affected
'Cause I think
Love is Love reflected

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We've got Hell to pay
Come full circle

And, If
There's a spell on you that
I could take away
I would do the deed
Yeah, and by the way
Here's to Heaven knows
As the circle goes
It ain't right
I'm uptight
And, get off my toes!

I used to think that every little thing I did was crazy
But now I think the Karma cops are comin' after you

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle

Every time you get yourself caught up inside
Of someone else's crazy dream
Own it, yeah that's a mistake
Everybody's got a lot of nada killing them
Instead of killing time

Time
Don't let it slip away
Raise your drinkin' glass
Here's to yesterday
In Time
We're all gonna trip away
Don't piss Heaven off
We got Hell to pay
Come full circle

THE SOAPMAKERS by Clutch

Behind the Cliffside Inn I heard a fiddle and a mandolin,
keeping rhythm on an old washboard and stomping on the floor.
Saw people of all sorts dancing 'round in twos and fours',
caroling about days of old and what the future holds.
In the middle was big cauldron that they were stirring, stirring,
and there were trees around that they kept burning, burning.
I asked a toothless man who all these people were, and
he said, "The soapmakers, and we are working, working."
As they stirred Heaven and Earth they combined to one,
and everything was everyone and each one was all.
As they stirred I heard a trumpet call,
and everything was everyone and each one was all.
As they stirred Heaven and Earth they combined to one,
and everything was everyone and each one was all.
As they stirred I heard a trumpet call,
and everything was everyone and each one was all.

courage (sam dent band version)
sarah polley

Watch the band through a bunch of dancers
Quickly, follow the unknown
With something more familiar
Quickly, something familiar.

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter.

Sleepwalk, so fast asleep
In a motel that has the lay of home
And piss on all of your background
And piss on all your surroundings.

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, couldn't come at a worse time.

There's no simple explanation
For anything important any of us do
And yeah the human tragedy
Consists in the necessity
Of living with the consequences
Under pressure, under pressure.

Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, my word
It didn't come, it doesn't matter
Courage, couldn't come at a worse time.

Slaves and Bulldozers - Soundgarden

Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook

Now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said whats in it for me

Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buying lies and stealing jokes
And laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took

Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what is in it for me

MOODY BLUES - Question lyrics
Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

Its where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
Because the truth is hard to swallow
Thats what the wall of love is for.

Its not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
Its more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be.

And when you stop and think about it
You wont believe its true.
That all the love youve been giving
Has all been meant for you.

Im looking for someone to change my life.
Im looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what its done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me through.

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And shes waiting there for me.

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.

Im looking for someone to change my life.
Im looking for a miracle in my life.
And if you could see what its done to me
To lose the the love I knew
Could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew.
To learn as we grow old
The secrets of our souls.

Its not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me.
Its more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be.

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war.

Its where we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need.
In a world of persecution
That is burning in its greed.

Why do we never get an answer
When were knocking at the door?

Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, youre to blame
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Whats me name
Tell me, baby, whats my name
Tell me, sweetie, whats my name
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Ooo, who, who
Oh, yeah
