I love reading Tool’s lyrics, i always get little bumps, check it out

Parabola from TOOL

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

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

Alive, I

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

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

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

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

Lateralus by TOOL

[color=red]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…[/color]

I had to put two songs One wasnt just enough

U2- Sunday Bloody Sunday

I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes
And make it go away

How long…
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long…
'Cause tonight… we can be as one / Tonight
Tonight / Tonight

Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Alright let’s go

And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long…
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long…
'Cause tonight… we can be as one tonight
Tonight, Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Tonight, Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
I’ll wipe your tears away
I’ll wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle yet begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On…

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday…

I have been known to post three It’s hard to stop when you start thinking about the different lyrics that you like.

InfectionO …IMO the best line of the lyrics was
The real battle yet begun
To l claim the victory Jesus won

Mama Told Me Not To Come Lyrics by Tom Jones

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions they’re askin’ me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights 'cause I don’t wanna see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said “That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”

Some radio is blastin’
someone’s knockin’ at the door
I’m lookin’ at my girlfriend
She just passed out on the floor
I’ve seen so many things
I ain’t never seen before
Don’t know what it is
I don’t wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me)
She said “That ain’t the way to have fun, no” (no, no)
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”

Mama told me, mama told me
Mana told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, no, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son” (Mama told me)

Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me not to come (Mama told me not to come)
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”
“That ain’t the way to have fun” (oh no, no)…

Stuck In The Middle With You

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 those 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, and 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 off with nothing
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Trying to make some sense of it all
But I can see 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

And you started off with nothing
And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man
And your friends they all come crawling
Slap you on the back and say
Please, please

Yeah, 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 those stairs

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you
Yes, I’m struck in the middle with you
Stuck in the middle with you
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

The heck… ok the lyrics site got it wrong… there’s no “I” in there… I’ll fix it right away. Hey thanks for helping me out in FF3 today!! You died (yes I am a bad strategist) for Terra!

The numbers are different in England …the American FF3 is FF VI here. I bet you were using one of the dances so you had no control!

While I’m here

I Fall To Pieces by Patsy Cline

I fall to pieces each time I see you again
I fall to pieces, how can I be just your friend?

You want me to act like we’ve never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we’ve never met
And I’ve tried and I’ve tried but I haven’t yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces

I fall to pieces, each time someone speakes your name
I fall to pieces, time only adds to the flame

You tell me to find someone else to love
Someone who’ll love me too, the way you used to do
But each time I go out with someone new
You walk by and I fall to pieces

Crazy by Patsy Cline

Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday, you’d leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond’ring, what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you

Crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday, you’d leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond’rin’, what in the world did I do?

Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I’m crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I’m crazy for loving you

Most of the music I listen to doesn’t have lyrics so I’ll have to reach into the faithful Deadhead bag…

Yep, I’d have to say this is my favorite song to sing along to of all time.

Scarlet Begonias by the Grateful Dead

As I was walkin’ round Grosvenor Square
Not a chill to the winter
but a nip to the air
From the other direction
she was calling my eye
It could be an illusion
but I might as well try
Might as well try.

She had rings on her fingers and
bells on her shoes,
And I knew without askin’ she was
into the blues
Scarlet begonias
tucked into her curls
I knew right away
she was not like other girls–
other girls

In the thick of the evening
when the dealing got rough
She was too pat to open and
too cool to bluff
As I picked up my matches and
was closing the door
I had one of those flashes:
I’d been there before–
been there before.

[Bridge]
I ain’t often right
but I’ve never been wrong
It seldom turns out the way
it does in the song
Once in a while
you get shown the light
in the strangest of places
if you look at it right

Well there ain’t nothin’ wrong
with the way she moves
Or scarlet begonias or a
touch of the blues
And there’s nothing wrong with
the love that’s in her eye
I had to learn the hard way
to let her pass by–
let her pass by

The wind in the willows played Tea for Two
The sky was yellow and the sun was blue
Strangers stopping strangers
just to shake their hand
Everybody’s playing
in the Heart of Gold Band
Heart of Gold Band

Sanitarium/ Welcome Home
Metallica
Based on the book/movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can’t they see it’s why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what’s out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I’m insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he’s getting better, can’t you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it’s such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

Disposable Heros
Metallica

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
a servant `til I fall

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he’s yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you bare, glory seeker trends
bodies fill the fields I see
the slaughter never ends

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he’s yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here

I was born for dying

Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Soldier boy, made of clay
now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
just do as we say
finished here, Greeting Death
he’s yours to take away

Back to the front
you will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
you will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
you coward
you servant
you blindman

Back to the front.

Ego Brain
System of a Down

Life is but a dream,
Drifting on a stream, a stream,
Consciously it seems,
All of what remains,
Ego brain,
Man made shame,
Shame, Love after it rains,
You see my pain is real,
Watch my world dissolve,
And pretend that none of us see the Fall,
As I turn to sand,
You took me by the hand,
And declared, that love prevails over all.
I am just a man,
Fighting other men,
For land, for land,
While I turn to sand,
In spite of the pain,
Ego brain,
Man made Shame,
Shame, Love after it rains,
You see my pain is real,
Watch my world dissolve,
And pretend that none of us see the Fall
As I turn to sand,
You took me by the hand,
And declared that love prevails over all.
All of what remains,
Ego brain,
Man made shame,
Shame, Love after it rains,
You see my pain is real,
Watch my world dissolve,
And pretend that none of us see the Fall,
As I turn to sand,
You took me by the hand,
And declared that love prevails over all.

Sorry for the LONG ASS post

Mine would have been longer but I posted lyrics from Buffy the musical on Cult TV topic.

Hurts So Good

First you take my heart
In the palm of your hand
And you squeeze it tight
Then you take my mind
And play with it all night

You take my pride
And throw it up against the wall
You take me in your arms baby
And bounce me like a rubber ball

I ain’t complaining
What you’re doing you see
'Cos this hurting feeling is
Oh so good for me

You take my name
And you scandalise it in the street
Oh anything you wanna do
Say it’s alright by me

Then you turned me around
And check my masculinity
So let me tell you
You sure look good to me

'Cos baby these things you’re doing
believe
They hurt so bad
But it’s worth all the misery

Don’t you know that it’s hurts so good
Hurts so good

Ooh boy please don’t ever
Take the heat off me
'Cos it would hurt even more
If you’d ever leave
Even though sometimes
It’s hard to me to bear
I make myself hold on
'Cos it kills me I don’t care

'Cos baby I don’t want you to ever quit
Ooh, it ain’t no good 'til it
Hurts just a little bit

Don’t you know that it’s hurts so good
Hurts so good

Suicide Is Painless - Theme from MASH

Through early moring fog I see
Vision’s of the things to be
The pains that are with held for me
I realise and I can see

*That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The game of life is hard to play
Gonna to lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say

(Repeat *)

All That I Need
ARTIST: BLIND MELON

All that I need is the air that I breathe
And all that I need are things I don’t need
And all that really matters is what matters to me
And who of you are like me

If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand
Because you know if I’m to benefit I’ll do everything that I can
And who of you are like me

It will make you feel good, over my shoulder
It’ll get me down and got me tied up
'Till I grow older, but feel me inside of you
Like you want it to

But is it just the pains in your head
That are thrilling me
Another life’s falling down onto it’s knees
But I’ll never smile the way, that I did like that day

Everything will be okay
It’ll be okay

More!

Opiate

ARTIST: TOOL

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

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

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

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

The Graping Lotus Experience (FILLS IN THE rest of Opiate,edit*)
I had a friend once he took some acid
Now he thinks he’s a fire engine
It’s okay until he pisses on your lighter
Kinda smells kinda cool kinda funny anyway

satan, satan, satan…

I had a friend once he took some ecstasy
Tried to marry me and every one in the room
He was sort of loving kinda caring,
kinda tried to fuck my lazy boy
It got a bit messy all over the curtains,
arm chair covers, throw pillows, and carpeting

satan, satan, satan…

I’m getting bored again…

Where My Heart Will Take Me _ Theme from Enterprise
Lyrics by Diane Warren Vocal by Russell Watson

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.
It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.

I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long road.

[color=blue]Love Is the Seventh Wave
Sting
From the album The Dream of the Blue Turtles
Words and music by Sting

In the empire of the senses
You’re the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper world than this
That you don’t understand
There is a deeper world that this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed all the anger
All the weapons all the greed
All the armies all the missiles
All the symbols of your fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the center of the fury
All the angels all the devils
All around us can’t you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave[/color]

DNTel - (This Is) The Dream Of Evan and Chan

it was familiar to me
the smoke too thick to breathe
the tile floors glistened
i slowly stirred my drink
and when you started to sing
you spoke with broken speech
that i could not understand
and then you grabbed me tightly

i wont let go
i wont let go
even if you say so
oh no
i’ve tried and tried with no results
i wont let go
i wont let go

he then played every song from 1993
the crowd applauded as he curtsied bashfully
your eyelashes tickled my neck
with every nervous blink
and it was perfect
until the telephone started
ringing ringing ringing ringing off

Nick Drake - Hazey Jane I

Do you curse where you come from,
Do you swear in the night
Will it mean much to you
If I treat you right.
Do you like what you’re doing,
Would you do it some more
Or will you stop once and wonder
What you’re doing it for.
Hey slow Jane, make sense
Slow, slow, Jane, cross the fence.

Do you feel like a remnant
Of something that’s past
Do you find things are moving
Just a little too fast.
Do you hope to find new ways
Of quenching your thirst,
Do you hope to find new ways
Of doing better than your worst.
Hey slow Jane, let me prove
Slow, slow Jane, we’re on the move.

Do it for you,
Sure that you would do the same for me one day.
So try to be true,
Even if it’s only in your hazey way.

Can you tell if you’re moving
With no mirror to see,
If you’re just riding a new man
Looks a little like me.
Is it all so confusing,
Is it hard to believe
When the winter is coming
Can you sign up and leave.
Hey slow Jane, live your lie
Slow, slow jane, fly on by.

311 - 8:16 AM

Stranger flowers yet
There will never come a day that will ever regret
The hours days years and the minutes
The joy the pain the sunshine and rain in it
The drives on the coast to nowhere
Nothing to say just sit and stare
There’s nothing like the comfort of a silence that’s comfortable
Not talking small just skip the bull
Then I find myself in servility
Didn’t think that was my ability
I go a yard and a mile to make you smile
But then I’m happy see
I got so many ways to make your gaze elliptical
Got a ways to go future’s so
Criptical and I’m glad
Just another many things we’ve had

It’s 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open I’m just hopin’ you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You’re right last night I was a hog
Come on I’m sorry
It’s 73 degrees
January easily glides

Stranger flowers still
If you’re gonna wanna go another day I will
Like this make it a deal
Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a fell of impermanent bliss
Today my love we shall let the world slide
Turn off the ringer and just glide
For we shall never be younger again than
What do you see

It’s 8:16 A.M. will you wake up to me
The first thing that you see
My eyes open I’m just hopin’ you feel the same as me
The day starts carefully
On the sidewalk with the dog
You’re right last night I was a hog
Come on I’m sorry
Holiday on the radio
Billie knows that is the way to go

A place where we both can spend out saved time
Not collecting interest
Maybe the same reason we always find ourselves home bound
I’ve got to do some homework
The leave response we want to leave Wisconsin
For a new life a new trailer with an antenna and a porch
Of course we’ll bring the dog

Man Who Shot Liberty Valance sung by Gene Pitney

When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they’d hide
When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside
‘cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin’ straight and fast—he was mighty good.

From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land
‘cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin’ straight and fast—he was mighty good.

Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go, stay on
Just tryin’ to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow
But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good.

Alone and afraid she prayed that he’d return that fateful night, aww that night
When nothin’ she said could keep her man from goin’ out to fight

From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown the very first thing she learns
When two men go out to face each other only one retur-r-r-ns

Everyone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

I was just about to go when I saw I had the devil’s post (666) so I came here to make one more post.

[size=150]The Ballad of Waterhole #3[/size]

The code of the west ain’t some words on a page
You just naturally know it when you come of age
You eat when you’re hungry, you drink when you’re dry
You look every man in the eye

It’s the code of the west when the boys talk of women
The code of the west what you know you don’t tell
The code of the west a man soaps his own saddle
Brands his own cattle and some of his neighbour’s as well

If you’re buildin’ fences then I ain’t for hire
You get me for nothin’ and I’ll bring the wire
You patch up my windows, I’ll plumb up your doors
If you scratch my back I’ll scratch yours

It’s the code of the west you must honour your neighbour
The code of the west to your own self be true
The code of the west you must do unto others
Do unto others before them others do it unto you

This is from an old track from the 80’s. I havent heard it since the last time I saw ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ (I remember it being in the intro), but oddly enough, I woke up this morning with these lyrics running through my head-

“Like a child in his fantasies
Punching holes in the walls of reality
You can be what want to be
But you can’t change the course of your destiny”

from “I Can’t Break Away” by Big Pig

Merry Christmas Everybody by Slade

Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall?
It’s the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer?
Does a ton up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your granny always tell ya’ that the old songs are the best?
Then she’s up and rock ‘n’ rollin’ with the rest

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama kissin’ Santa Claus?
Ah ah

alt - What will your daddy do
When he sees your Mama givin’ Santa Claus a hug

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you’ve been slayed

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

So here it is merry Christmas, Everybody’s having fun
Look to the future now, It’s only just begun

“The Best is Yet to Come” by RIKA MURANAKA
(translation below)
An cuimhin leat an gra cra croi an ghra
Nil anois ach ceol na h-oiche taim siorai i ngra
Leannain le smal
Leannain le smal
Lig leis agus beidh leat
Lig leis agus beidh gra

Culmhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhi tu sasta
An culmhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhi tu ag gaire

Ta an saol iontach
ma chreideann tu ann
Tug aghaidi ar an saol is sonas siorai inar measc

Ceard a tharla do na laethanta sin
Ceard a tharla do na h-oicheanta sin
An culmhin leat an t-am
Nuair a bhi tu faol bhron
An cuimhin leat an t-am
Go siorai sileadh na ndeor an ormsa no orainne a bhi an locht

Ag mothu caiite s’ar fan
Cen fath an t-achrann is sileadh na ndeor
Ta ailleacht sa saol
Ma chuardaionn tu e
Ta gliondar sa saol cuardaimis e

Translation

Do you remember the time when little things made you happy
Do you remember the time when simple things made you smile
Life can be wonderful if you let it be
Life can be simple if you try

What happened to those days?
What happened to those nights?
Do you remember the time when little things made you so sad
Do you remember the time when simple things made you cry

Is it just me, or is it just us
Feeling lost in this world?
Why do we have to hurt each other?
Why do we have to shed tears?
Life can be beautiful if you try
Life can be joyful if we try

Tell me I am not alone
Tell me we are not alone in this world fighting against the wind
Do you remember the time when simple things made you happy
Do you remember the time when simple things made you laugh

You know life can be simple
You know life is simple
Because the best thing in life is yet to come
Because the best is yet to come

Whisper - Evanescence

Catch me as I fall
Say you’re here and it’s all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one’s here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if i will it all away
If I will it all away

Don’t turn away (Don’t give in to the pain)
Don’t try to hide (Though they’re screaming your name)
Don’t close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)
Don’t turn out the light (Never sleep never die)

I’m frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there’s much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if i will it all away
If I will it all away

Don’t turn away (Don’t give in to the pain)
Don’t try to hide (Though they’re screaming your name)
Don’t close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)
Don’t turn out the light (Never sleep never die)

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me, shall I give in?
Upon my end, shall I begin?
Forsaking all I’ve fallen for
I rise to meet the end

Don’t turn away (Don’t give in to the pain)
Don’t try to hide (Though they’re screaming your name)
Don’t close your eyes (God knows what lies behind them)
Don’t turn out the light (Never sleep never die)

Don’t turn away, yeah
Don’t try to hide
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t turn out the light

Don’t turn away, yeah
Don’t try to hide
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t turn out the light

Servatis A Maleficum.
Servatis A Periculum.

Only You - Flying Pickets

Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,

Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,

Looking from a window above
It’s like a story of love
Can you hear me.
Came back only yesterday
Moving further away
Won’t you hear me.

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of your name
And it’s only a game
And I need you
Listening to the words that you say
Getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you

Ba da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da>

Ba da,

Ba da,

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you

This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what’s mine
Can’t take no more
Wonder if you’ll understand
It’s just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you

Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,

Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,

Enola Gay - OMD

Enola Gay, you should have stayed at home yesterday
Aha words can’t describe the feeling and the way you lied

These games you play, they’re gonna end it more than tears someday
Aha Enola Gay, it shouldn’t ever have to end this way

It’s 8:15, and that’s the time that it’s always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you’re coming home

Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it’s never ever gonna fade away

Enola Gay, it shouldn’t ever have to end this way
Aha Enola Gay, it shouldn’t fade in our dreams away

It’s 8:15, and that’s the time that it’s always been
We got your message on the radio, conditions normal and you’re coming home

Enola Gay, is mother proud of little boy today
Aha this kiss you give, it’s never ever gonna fade away

If anyone can guess the reasons i posted Enola Gay & Only You i’ll give you a special christmas cookie.

Time/Breathe Reprise
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for soemone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I’d something more to say.

I havent shared lyrics in awhile, i’ve been reading alot lately. Here’s some that i actually catch myself signing to myself, almost everyday

NINE INCH NAILS
“Please”
[b]this is how
it begins
push it away but it all comes back again
all the flesh
all the sin
there was a time when it used to mean just about everything

just like now

breathe, echoing the sound
time starts slowing down
sink until I drown
(please) I don’t ever want to make it stop

and it keeps repeating
will you please complete me?

never be enough
to fill me up

watch the white
turn to red
it fills up the hole but it grows somewhere else instead
all my life
yeah yeah yeah yeah, but it just left me dead
(well guess what?)
the world is over and I realize it was all in my head

now everything is clear
I erase the fear
I can disappear
(please) I don’t ever want to make it stop

you can never leave me
will you pleaseb complete me

never be enough
to fill me up[/b]

NINE INCH NAILS
“The Perfect Drug”

[b]I got my head but my head is unraveling
cant keep control can’t keep track of where it’s traveling
I got my heart but my heart’s no good
you’re the only one that’s understood

I come along but I don’t know where you’re taking me
I shouldn’t go but you’re wrenching dragging shaking me
turn off the sun pull the stars from the sky
the more I give to you the more I die

and I want you

you are the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug
the perfect drug

you make me hard when i’m all soft inside
I see the truth when i’m all stupid-eyed
the arrow goes straight through my heart
without you everything just falls apart

my blood just wants to say hello to you
my fear is warm to get inside of you
my soul is so afraid to realize
how every little bit is left of me

take me with you
without you everything just falls apart
it’s not as much fun to pick up the pieces
[/b]

PINK FLOYD
“Echoes”

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine
And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and
Something tries
And starts to climb towards the light
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can
And no one calls us to the land
And no one crosses there alive
And no one speaks
And no one tries
And no one flies around the sun
And now this is the day you fall
Upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Comes streamin in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning
And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.

I wish i could write like that one day, luckly i dont, i have Floyd

Hello Hubbs, I feel in a daft mood…this may amuse you.

Bernard Cribbins Hole in the ground

There I was, a-digging this hole
A hole in the ground, so big and sort of round it was
There was I, digging it deep
It was flat at at the bottom and the sides were steep
When along, comes this bloke in a bowler which he lifted and scratched his head
Well we looked down the hole, poor demented soul and he said

Do you mind if I make a suggestion?

Don’t dig there, dig it elsewhere
Your digging it round and it ought to be square
The shape of it’s wrong, it’s much much too long
And you can’t put hole where a hole don’t belong

I ask, what a liberty eh
Nearly bashed him right in the bowler

Well there was I, stood in me hole
Shovelling earth for all I was worth
There was him, standing up there
So grand and official with his nose in the air
So I gave him a look sort of sideways and I leaned on my shovel and sighed

Well I lit me a fag and having took a drag I replied

I just couldn’t bear, to dig it elsewhere
I’m digging it round cos I don’t want it square
And if you disagree it don’t bother me
That ís the place where the holes gonna be

Well there we were, discussing this hole
A hole in the groud so big and sort of round
Well it’s not there now, the grounds all flat
And beneath it is the bloke in the bowler hat

And that’s that

[color=blue]Bernard Cribbins Right Said Fred

Right said Fred, both of us together, one each end and steady as we go
Tried to to shift it, couldn’t even lift it, we was getting nowhere
And so, we, had a cup of tea

Right said Fred, give a shout to Charlie, up comes Charlie from the floor below
After straining, heaving and complaining, we was getting nowhere
And so, we, had a cup of tea

Charlie had a think and he thought we ought, to take off all the handles
And the things that hold the candles, but it did no good, well I never thought it would

Right said Fred, have to take the feet off, to get them feet off wouldn’t take a mo
Took it’s feet off, even with the seat off, should got us somewhere but no
So Fred said let’s have another cup of tea and we said right-o

Right said Fred, have to take the door off, need more space to shift the so and so
Had bad twinges taking off the hinges, and it got us nowhere
And so, we, had a cup of tea

Right said Fred, have to take the wall down, that there wall is gonna have to go
Took the wall down, even with it all down, we was getting nowhere
And so, we, had a cup of tea

Charlie had a think and he said look Fred, I’ve got a sort of feeling
If we remove the ceiling, with a rope or two we can drop the blighter though

Right said Fred, climbing up a ladder, with his crowbar gave a mighty blow
Was he in trouble, half a ton of rubble, landed on the top of his dome
So Charlie and me had another cup of tea and then we went home

I’ll said to Charlie we’ll just have to leave it standing on the landing that’s all
You see the trouble with Fred is he’s too hasty
Now you never get nowhere if you’re too hasty.[/color]

Neutral Milk Hotel
In the aeroplane over the sea:

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,
Anna’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
When we meet on a cloud I’ll be laughing out loud,
I’ll be laughing with everyone I see,
Can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all.

Built to Spill
Joyride:

Saturday i jotted down some words i cried
all about a girl that i thought i loved
told a sotry of what we did and what went wrong
you’ve heard it all before its the same old shit

So i wont bore you with all the details
im sure that you can listen between the lines
i screwed her and she screwed me, but we never once had sex
all we ever had is too much time

love is just a joyride
drink alot of beer and climb inside
lay your foot down on the gas
leave it there until you crash

this part of the song is called the second verse
soudns just like the first verse but with differnt words
but all it has is three chords and they are A D E and D
thery are A D and E and D
there goes the Dm D A E D

love is just a joyride
drink alot of beer and climb inside
lay your foot down on the gas
leave it there until you crash

(sound FX)
Person gets into car.
Car drives off.
Car crashes.
(/Sound FX)

Love is just a joyride

Muse - Citizen Erased

Break me in, teach us to cheat
And to lie, cover up
What shouldn’t be shared
All the truth’s unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe you

For one moment
I wish you’d hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded
I’m sure I used to be so free

Self expressed, exhausting for all
To see and to be
What you want and what you need
The truth’s unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe

For one moment
I wish you’d hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open minded
I’m sure I used to be so free

Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They will only bring us pain
And I’ve seen, all I’ll ever need
