The Lyrics Thread-Part II

The Dresden Dolls - coin operated boy

coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but I turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why I want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
I will never leave my bedroom
I will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend…

coin operated boy
all the other real ones that I destroy
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I’ll
never let him go and I’ll never be alone
not with my coin operated boy…

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
will you extract me from my plastic fantasy
I didnt think so but Im still convinceable will you persist even after I bet you a billion dollars that I'll never love you will you persist even after Ive kissed you you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?
i’m dying to lose it…
I want it
I want you
I want a coin operated boy.

and if I had a star to wish on
for my life I can`t imagine
any flesh and blood would be his match
I can even **** him in the ***

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but I know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a coin operated boy with a pretty coin operated voice saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why I want
a coin operated boy.

Poets of the fall - Illusion & Dream

Look in my eyes I’ll make you see
We’re drifting aimlessly
Blind in a world of make believe

Hear them sing their songs off key
N’ nod like they agree
Buying the need to be discreet

I’ve got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
What’s going on fails to concern me, Cos I’m locked behind my wall
But you know what drives me out
Out of my mind

It’s whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
That the images they sell are illusion & dream
In other words dishonesty

If I speak Ill, please, humor me
Won’t rant on endlessly
Just thought I’d try to make you see

It doesn’t solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
A stone will not need you to guess if
You’re still going to drown
So you know what drives me out
Out of my mind

It’s whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
That the images they sell are illusion & dream
In other words dishonesty

So can you name your demon?
Understand its scheming
I raise my glass and say “here’s to you”
Can you chase your demon?
Or will it take your freedom?
I raise my class and say “here’s to you”

I’ve got no hand…

Pnk Floyd - Brain Damage

The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon.

The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I’m sane.

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

The Beautiful Ones

Flies with a broken wing, she’s ever so graceful, so like an angel,
but I see, tears flow quietly.

The struggle she’s seen this spring, when nothing comes dancing,
paying a handsome fee, and still she smiles at me.

And I can’t take it, no I can’t help but wonder…

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold.

Sweet as an angel sings, she gives though she has none left but the
last one, free, unhesitatingly.

And I am humbled, I’m a broken mirror, and I can’t help but wonder…

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold.

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
Why when they walk with love alone?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Just trying to find their way home.

I’ve seen many lyrics of Floyd and i’m glad but i’m going to post Kreator.

Let’s leave this world behind

The outside world is cold as ice
Deep inside you’re burning
You’re raging as you live your life
This can’t be all, this is a lie
So take my hand
The pain must end
Into the sky, if you believe we’ll fly

Come on let’s Leave This World Behind

A prescious gift you once forgot
Is awakening this moment
If you believe it becomes real
This energy they could not kill

It gets so strong
We’ll meet to one
Just spread your wings
Let loose and fly with me

Come on let’s Leave This World Behind

This misery must fade away
For us to see a better day
If that’s all there is to choose
Let it loose right now

and one more:Black sunrise

 Kreator - Black Sunrise Lyrics

When nothing’s left for us to say
Substance leads me through the day
All the green has turned to gray
Like shadows fall from those who died

Black Sunrise
Darkened the Earth

For jesus lives in every shot
When i’m there I’ll talk to god
Now I can see things you cannot
Like mirrors in eternity

Black Sunrise
Darkened the Earth
Black Sunrise
Over the Earth

Why can I see the light no more?
Everything became so much harder than before
Like a swamp it pulls me further down
god I know I’ve gone too far
I am dying just to look inside

The Eagles - Desperado

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
But I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow

Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can’t get

Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re losin’ all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
(let sombody love you)
You better let somebody love you
before it’s too late

This song was on when I WILDed by accident , Music aided.
Didn`t come to SD or HI or anything but it scared me in here :content: .
And I always think of LDing when I hear that song !

Under a Glass Moon - Dream Theater (XD)

Tell me
Remind me
Chase the water racing from the sky
Always beside me
Taste the memories running from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my dreams
Liquid shadows silence their screams
I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds

Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear

Beneath a summer sky
Under glass moonlight
Night awaits the lamb’s arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her survival

By your hand
I’ve awakened
Bear this honor in my name

Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear

Lie To Me" - Bon Jovi

Rumour has it that your daddy’s coming down
He’s gonna pay the rent
Tell me baby, is this as good as life is gonna get
It feels like there’s a stranger standing in these shoes
But, I know I can’t lose me, 'cause then I’d be losing you

I know I promised baby
I would be the one to make our dreams come true
I ain’t too proud of all the struggles
And the hard times we’ve been through
When this cold world comes between us
Please tell me you’ll be brave
'Cause I can realize the danger when forgiveness fades away

If you don’t love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you’re the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that’s what’s meant to be
Right now if you don’t love me baby - lie to me

Pour another cup of coffee
Babe I got something to say to you
I ain’t got the winning ticket
Not the one that’s gonna pull us through
No one said that it’d be easy
Let your old man take you home
But know that if you walk out on me that darling
I’d be gone

If you don’t love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you’re the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that’s what’s meant to be
Right now if you can’t love me baby - lie to me
Baby, I can take it

It’s a bitch, but life’s a roller coaster ride
The ups and downs will make you scream sometimes
It’s hard believing that the thrill is gone
But we got to go around again, so let’s hold on

If you don’t love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you’re the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us
If that’s what’s meant to be
Right now if you can’t love me baby - lie to me
Lie to me
Baby, I can take it
C’mon lie to me

I saw you in your wedding gown
The prettiest dress
I came into your room that night
And made such a mess
In my own way, I lovingly kissed the bride
With your ring in youre hand
Your eyes and your mouth open wide

In my eyes
Blood drops look like roses on white lace
They won’t wash away
In my mind they’re roses on white lace
Straight from the heart
So dead on the bed, still searching for your head

The best parts :tongue:[color=red]“My love will be in you,
My fall will be for you.
If you be the one to
cut me, I`ll bleed forever.”

  • Nightwish - Ghost Love Score -

“Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman`s noose”

  • Nightwish - Ghost Love Score -[/color]

The whole song

NightWish - Ghost Love Score

We used to swim the same moonlight waters
Oceans away from the wakeful day

  • My fall will be for you -
    My fall will be for you
    My love will be in you
    If you be the one to cut me
    I`ll bleed forever

Scent of the sea before the waking of the world
Brings me to thee
Into the blue memory

  • My fall will be for you -
    My fall will be for you
    My love will be in you
    If you be the one to cut me
    I will bleed forever

Into the blue memory

A siren from the deep came to me
Sang my name my longing
Still I write my songs about that dream of mine
Worth everything I may ever be

The Child will be born again
That siren carried him to me
First of them true loves
Singing on the shoulders of an angel
Without care for love n` loss

Bring me home or leave me be
My love in the dark heart of the night
I have lost the path before me
The one behind will lead me

Take me
Cure me
Kill me
Bring me home
Every way
Every day
Just another loop in the hangman`s noose

Take me, cure me, kill me, bring me home
Every way, every day
I keep on watching us sleep

Relive the old sin of Adam and Eve
Of you and me
Forgive the adoring beast

Redeem me into childhood
Show me myself without the shell
Like the advent of May
I`ll be there when you say
Time to never hold our love

  • My fall will be for you -
    My fall will be for you
    My love will be in you
    You were the one to cut me
    So I`ll bleed forever

Loch Lomond

By yon bonnie banks,
And by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love
Were ever want to gae,
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

Oh! ye’ll take the high road and
I’ll take the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love
Will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

'Twas then that we parted
In yon shady glen,
On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,
Where in purple hue
The Highland hills we view,
And the moon coming out in the gloaming.

Oh! ye’ll take the high road and
I’ll take the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love
Will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

The wee birdie sang
And the wild flowers spring,
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,
But the broken heart it kens
Nae second Spring again,
Tho’ the waeful may cease frae their greeting.

Oh! ye’ll take the high road and
I’ll take the low road,
And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love
Will never meet again
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.

Wandering Soul - Kate Rusby
(I wrote this myself listening to the song, so there maybe errors)

Winter comes around
and he knows he is homeward bound
his heartbeat is the only sounds at all

his once lost his way
he knows now that was yesterday
he fell down on his knees to pray for home

We’ll sing to the morning
We’ll sing 'til the bells they sound
We’ll sing 'til the wandering soul is found

We’ll sing to the morning
We’ll sing 'til the bells they sound
We’ll sing 'til the wandering soul is found

He’s found his way at last
With each turn, a new dawn was cast
his friends now, hold him steady, fast and true.

//Can’t tell what she’s singing here, will edit in later//

We’ll sing to the morning
We’ll sing 'til the bells they sound
We’ll sing 'til the wandering soul is found

We’ll sing to the morning
We’ll sing 'til the bells they sound
We’ll sing 'til the wandering soul is found

He’s nearer everyday
he knows now he is here to stay
he cares not why he went away so long
He’s found where belongs
He knows it’s been here all along
His smiling as he joins his friends in song.

We’ll sing to the morning
We’ll sing 'til the bells they sound
We’ll sing 'til the wandering soul is found

We’ll sing to the morning
We’ll sing 'til the bells they sound
We’ll sing 'til the wandering soul is found

Here’s one:

Bee Gees-Stayin’ Alive:
[color=darkblue]
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it’s all right. It’s OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Time’s effect on man.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
you’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive.

Well now, I get low and I get high,
and if I can’t get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I’m a dancin’ man and I just can’t lose.
You know it’s all right. It’s OK.
I’ll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
the New York Time’s effect on man.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
you’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive.

Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me yeah. Stayin’ alive.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around
since I was born.
And now it’s all right. It’s OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the New York Time’s effect on man.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
you’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
and we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive.

Somebody help me, yeah.
Life goin’ nowhere. Somebody help me yeah.

It’s a catchy song, if you ask me.:music:

Well…:roll: ya’ll know I love the love songs (^^ “love” twice in a sentence)…

[i]Mariah Carey - “Can’t Let Go”

There you are holding her hand
I am lost
Dying to understand
Didn’t I cherish you right?
Don’t you know you were my life?

Chorus:
Even though I try
I can’t let go
Something in your eyes
Captured my soul
And every night I see you in my dreams
You’re all I love
I can’t let go

Just cast aside
You don’t even know I’m alive
You just walk on by
Don’t care to see me cry
And here I am
Still holding on
I can’t accept
My world is gone
No, no

Chorus

Do you even realize the sorrow I have inside
Everyday of my life?
Do you know the way it feels
When all you have just dies?
I try and try to deny that I need you
But still you remain on my mind

Oh no I just can’t get you out of my mind
I never can say goodbye
And every night
I see you in my dreams
You’re all I love
I can’t let you go

Even though I try
I can’t let go
Of something that I need so badly
You’re all I love
I can’t let go[/i]

Yeah…I’ll post some more later–like Boyz II Men…haha–I don’t have any lover of my own, but–it’s nice to dream about it while listenin’ to a love song…right? :content:

AC/DC
Highway To Hell (1979)
Highway To Hell

Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too

I’m on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody’s gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody’s gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin’ my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I’m on my way to the promised land

I’m on the highway to hell
(Don’t stop me)

And I’m going down, all the way down
I’m on the highway to hell

You know this song rules!

Drowning pool, Bodies.

Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor Beaten why for
Can’t take much more
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Something’s got to give
Two - Something’s got to give
Three - Something’s got to give
Now
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again
This is the end
Skin against skin blood and bone
You’re all by yourself but you’re not alone
You wanted in now you’re here
Driven by hate consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor
Let the bodies hit the floor

TENACIOUS D!

“Tribute”

[Spoken]
This is the greatest and best song in the world… Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin’ down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon… in the middle… of the road.
And he said:
[Sung]
“Play the best song in the world, or I’ll eat your soul.” (soul)
[Spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said… “Okay.”
[Sung]
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Look into my eyes and it’s easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow…

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
Whip-crack went his Whoopy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: “(snort) Be you angels?”
And we said, “Nay. We are but men.”
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn’t remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthafuckin’ song the greatest song in the world.
[2-part skat]
[Spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn’t actually sound
anything like this song.
[Sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, fuck! Good God, God lovin’,
So surprised to find you can’t stop it.
[Skat]
All right! All right!

FLOGGING MOLLY!

“Drunken Lullabies”

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin’ drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie
In their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Through these bars of men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin’ drunken lullabies

Ah, but maybe its the way you were taught Or maybe its the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though there is nothing left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin’ drunken lullabies

I sit in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin’ drunken lullabies
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin’ drunken lullabies
Singin’ drunken lullabies

Another Flogging Molly song. This is the one i want playing at my funeral.

“What’s Left Of The Flag”

His eyes they closed
and his last breath spoke
he had seen all to be seen
a life once full
now an empty vase
wilt the blossums
on his early grave

walk away me boys
walk away me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what’s left
of the flag for me
then the rosary beads
count them 1 2 3
fell apart as they hit the floor
in a garb of black
we must pay respect
to the color we were born to mourn
walk away me boys
walk away me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what’s left
of the flag for me

In its place grew
an angry festered wound
full of hatered and remourse
where I pick and scratch
till the blood it matched
silent rage that now fills my lungs
for there are many ways
to kill a man they say
with bayonet, axe or sword
but son a bullet fired
from a shapeless guise
just put the shell of a Thompson gun

walk away me boy
walk away me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what’s left
of the flag for me

from the east out to the western shore
where many men and many more will fall
but no angel flys with me tonight
though freedom reigns on all
and curse the name for which
we slaved our days
so every men chose Kingdom Come
But sure as night turns day
it’s the passion play
oh my god
what have they done
with madmen rage
well the dogged craze
but the dead rise again you fools

walk away me boy
walk away me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what’s left
of the flag for me

walk away me boy
walk away me boys
and by morning we’ll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what’s left
of the flag for me
