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

[Aesculapius]

Queensrÿche rocks so much! The entire 'Empire' album is lyrically perfect.

[Brice]

It's a pretty incredible record all around.

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

[jayson]

those are great ones liz. jimi is under-rated as a songwriter.

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

[LadyHitchhiker]

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...
run...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
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

I don't belong here...

[jayson]

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

[jayson]

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

[fernandito]

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
many Niggaz can vouch that, so since i got stripes
i got the right to rap about that, but Niggaz like you
i gotta hate ya, i'm tired of Suburbian Niggaz talkin about
they comin from projects
knowin ya ain't seen the parts of the streets G
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

G's, Nigga please, don't try to step
because if ya do, then a pill cap is all that would be left
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 smokin on Chronic at picnics, and now ya think yer bigga
but to me you ain't nothin but a bitch ass Nigga

Death Row, i hear yer gettin treated like Boot camp

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

[devo133]

"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...."

"Say hello to heaven" - Temple of the Dog

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

[LadyHitchhiker]

Behind the boathouse
I'll show you my dark secret

I'm not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah...

So help me, Jesus

You'll stay as beautiful
With dark hair
And soft skin...forever
Forever

Make up your mind
And I'll promise you

Be my angel

Do you wanna die?

Naked and Famous by Presidents of the United States of America
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

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.

[Arthur Heath]

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!

[LadyHitchhiker]

I love Tyler...

[Girlystevedave]

I love Tyler...

Me too... It's so dark, yet almost sexy in that odd kind of way

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."
