Docking Bay 94 from Star Wars: The Musical

Han Solo:
Here I am, once again,
in docking bay 94.

Aw, Chewie.

There’s this kid.
His name is Luke,
and he’s got a dream.
But dreams come crashing down
like the tide on the shore.

So it is, and shall be,
in docking bay 94.

The other passengers enter.

C-3P0:
It’s the song of a droid.

Solo:
It’s the song of a man.

Luke Skywalker:
Where I am going is not where
I’ve been.

Obi-Wan Kenobi:
It’s more than a place,
it’s a hope in your heart.
It’s here it begins
and here’s where it starts.

Solo:
In docking bay 94.

Skywalker:
It’s the song of a people
who long to be free.
I’ll fight alongside them,
yes, there will I be.

Kenobi:
There’s a war 'mongst the stars
that’s been coming for years.
The fight against evil,
it grows ever near.

C-3P0:
It’s the song of a droid.

Kenobi:
It’s the song of the Force.

C-3P0:
Where we are going - we don’t
have a choice.

Kenobi:
It’s more than a place,
it’s a hope in your heart.
It’s here it begins
and here’s where it starts.

Skywalker:
All my friends have left
this place - gone so far
out into space.
That is where I long to be -
flying around - alive and free!

C-3P0:
It’s more than a place,
it’s a hope in their hearts.
It’s here it begins
and here’s where it starts.

Kenobi:
These are the star wars
that they will speak of
when they remember
all of us here.

All:
In docking bay 94.

ponho os meus olhos em você se você está,
dona dos meus olhos é você, avião no ar.
dia pra esses olhos sem te ver, é como o chão do mar.
liga o rádio a pilha, a tv, só pra você escutar
a nova música que eu fiz agora; lá fora a rua vazia chora.

os meus olhos vidram ao te ver, são dois fãs, um par.
pus no olhos vidros pra poder melhor te enxergar.
luz nos olhos para anoitecer, é só você se afastar.
pinta os lábios para escrever: “a tua boca é minha!”
que a nossa música eu fiz agora, lá fora a lua irradia a glória.

e eu te chamo! eu te peço, vem!
diga que você me quer,
porque eu te quero também.

faço as pazes lembrando,
passo as tardes tentando lhe telefonar.
cartazes te procurando,
aeronaves seguem pousando sem você desembarcar
pra eu te dar a mão nessa hora, levar as malas pro Fusca lá fora.

e eu vou guiando. eu te espero, vem!
siga aonde vão meus pés,
porque eu te sigo também.

eu te amo! eu te peço, vem!
diga que você me quer
porque eu te quero também.

Idiots are taking over - NOFX

It’s not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership conceding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it’s really elementary
the industrial revolution
has flipped the bitch on evolution
the benevolent and wise are being thwarted, ostracized, what a bummer
the world keeps getting dumber
insensitivity is standard and faith is being fancied over reason

darwin’s rollin over in his coffin
the fittest are surviving much less often
now everything seems to be reversing, and it’s worsening
someone flopped a steamer in the gene pool
now angry mob mentality’s no longer the exception, it’s the rule
and im startin to feel a lot like charlton heston
stranded on a primate planet
apes and orangutans that ran it to the ground
with generals and the armies that obeyed them
followers following fables
philosophies that enable them to rule without regard

there’s no point for democracy when ignorance is celebrated
political scientists get the same one vote as some Arkansas inbred
majority rule, don’t work in mental institutions
sometimes the smallest softest voice carries the grand biggest solutions

what are we left with?
a nation of god-fearing pregnant nationalists
who feel it’s their duty to populate the homeland
pass on traditions
how to get ahead religions
And prosperity via simpleton culture

the idiots are takin over

Cold Turkey - John
In this song he is describing himself getting off heroin.

Temperatures rising
Fever is high
Cant see no future
Cant see no sky

My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Cant see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
Cant get to sleep
One thing Im sure of
Im in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Cold turkey has got me on the run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again

Oh Ill be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Far Away - Nickelback

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there’s just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

On my knees, I’ll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I’d withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I’d give it all
I’d give for us
Give anything but I won’t give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you’ll be with me
and you’ll never go
Stop breathing if
I don’t see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I’m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I’m not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Signs - 5 man elecrtical band

And the sign said “Long-haired freaky people need not apply”
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said “You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you’ll do”
So I took off my hat, I said “Imagine that. Huh! Me workin’ for you!”
Whoa-oh-oh

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin’ would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house,
“Hey! What gives you the right?”
“To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in”
“If God was here he’d tell you to your face, Man, you’re some kinda sinner”

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
You’ve got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat
You ain’t supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!

And the sign said, “Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray”
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn’t have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ ‘bout me.
I’m alive and doin’ fine.”
Wooo!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Sign
Sign, sign

Panic at the disco - Build god then we’ll talk. [Written from memory]

Its these substandard motels on the lalalalala, corner of fourth and fremont street.
Appealing only 'cause theyre just that unappealing
Any practised catholic would, cross themselves upon entering.
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and just a dash of phermaldehide.
And the habit of decomposing right before your very lalalala eyes.
Along with the people inside…

What a wonderful, caricature of intimacy.
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy.

Tonights tennants range from a lawyer and a virgin,
Accesorising with a rosery, tucked inside her lingerie.
Shes getting a job at the firm come monday
The Mrs will stay with the cheating attorney
Moonlighting aside, she really needs his money
A wonderful caricature of intimacy
yeaah
And, not to mention
The constable and his proposition for that “Virgin” yes,
The one the lawyer met with on “Strictly Business”,
As he said to the Mrs.
Well only hours before, after he had left,
She was fixing her face in a compact
There was a terrible crash
There was a terrible crash
Between her and the bag
she spilt her purse and her badge
And now the purse of a different kind…
Along with the people inside

What a wonderful, caricature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful caricature of intimacy

There are no…
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
Its sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
Shadow the sheets and before all the stains
and a few more of your least favourite things.

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
Its sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
Shadow the sheets and before all the stains
and a few more of your least favourite things.

Inside, what a wonderful caricature of, intimacy,
Inside what a wonderful caricature of, initmacy

instrumental

Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
Its sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
Shadow the sheets and before all the stains
and a few more of your least favourite things.

Raindrops on the roses and the girls in white dresses
And the sleeping with the roaches and the taking best guesses
Shadow the sheets and before all the stains
and a few more of your least favourite things.

[…My all time favourite song, for its pure orginality < 3 3 3 ]

Ramble on - Led Zeppelin
Some LOTR in here

Leaves are falling all around,
Its time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, Im much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.

But now its time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And its headed my way.
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know Ive got one thing I got to do,

Ramble on,
And nows the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
Im goin round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Got no time to for spreadin roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And tho our health we drank a thousand times,
Its time to ramble on.

Ramble on,
And nows the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
Im goin round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

I aint tellin no lie.

Mines a tale that cant be told,
My freedom I hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
Twas in the darkest depths of mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her…yea.
Aint nothing I can do, no.

Ramble on,
And nows the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
Im goin round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.

Gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gotta keep-a-searchin for my baby…
Gonna work my way, round the world
I cant stop this feelin in my heart
Gotta keep searchin for my baby
I cant find my bluebird!
Id listen to my bluebird sing but I cant find my blue bird
A-keep-a ramblin baby…

Ah, thats what i thought.

Right, i know you dont like ‘linkin park’ but its not really the song that has a strong message, its the video.

I suggest you search for linkin park - what ive done on youtube, and if you have the official music video for it, watch it.

Its very moving, i must say. and if any song has a meaning, this one does. Opens your eyes abit.

Let me know if you watched it please :spinning:

I’ve have seen it :smile:
It’s about all the problems in the world caused by us.

Oh, what youve seen it before you mean?

Yeah not the greatest song, angsty as usual, like all their songs ive noticed lmao.

But after watching the video i just sort of sit there like 0.0

Lol. how about you?

It’s one of the few songs i like by them, although it does sound like their others.
It has a good message to it, which is good.

And yes i have seen it before.
Post the lyrics! :rofl:

Linkin Park - What I’ve Done.

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I’ll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I’ll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!!!

I’ll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

Time for another one

Stuck in the middle with you - Stealers Wheel

Well I don’t know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right,
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I’m stuck in the middle with you,
And I’m wondering what it is I should do,
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I’m all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you’re proud that you’re a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please… Please…

Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don’t think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing,
And you’re proud that you’re a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please… Please…

Well I don’t know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain’t right,
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you,
Yes I’m stuck in the middle with you,
Stuck in the middle with you.

Haha, i like that song :tongue:

Though the first time i heard it, it was a cover by a ‘pop princess’.

but shes a has-been so i dont remember her name.

Now, to explain what i mean about angsty … One of thier angstiest songs ^-^

Linkin Park - Numb.

I’m tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don’t know what you’re expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can’t you see that you’re smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I’m becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’m tired of being what you want me to be
I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there
I’m tired of being what you want me to be

I only discovered this song today, and wow I think it’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard :smile: Really a song to play every morning, to become cheerful enough to start the day :smile:

The Grateful Dead - Ripple

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung,
Would you hear my voice come through the music,
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

Its a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken,
Perhaps theyre better left unsung.
I dont know, dont really care
Let there be songs to fill the air.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men.

There is a road, no simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Ripple in still water,
When there is no pebble tossed,
Nor wind to blow.

But if you fall you fall alone,
If you should stand then whos to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.

Buffalo Springfield - For What It’s Worth

There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
There’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
I think it’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you’re always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, now, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down

Another great one.

Same for the Buffalo Springfield.

(and Zeppelin obviously…)

I’m The Slime
by Frank Zappa

I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed 'n deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t got for help…no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That’s right, folks…
Don’t touch that dial

Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’room floor

I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go
