The Lyrics Thread-Part II

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

Conjure One - Tears from the moon
this song can make me very sad, but still its very nice…

Couldn’t sleep so I went out walking
Thinking about you and hearing us talking
And all the things I should have said
Echo now, inside my head

I feel something falling from the sky
I’m so sad I made the angels cry

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain

Tears from the moon, tears from the moon

It just ain’t fair this thing called loving
When one step there and the other feels nothing
I would have done anything for you
I still love you, baby I adore you

All day I keep from falling apart
But at night when the sky gets dark

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain

Stop, Stop haunting me
It should be easy
As easy as when you stopped wanting me

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
I reach for you
I reach in vain

Tears from the moon
Fall down like rain
but tears from the moon
can’t wash away the pain

Tears from the moon, tears from the moon
Tears from the moon, tears from the moon

Seems fitting to an LD site

EVANESCENCE

“Imaginary”

i linger in the doorway
of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they’re falling tell a story

in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

don’t say i’m out of touch
with this rampant chaos - your reality
i know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
the nightmare i built my own world to escape

in my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light

One of the greatest songs, by the best band in the world.

Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts,
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There’ll be no more …Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe it’s working. Good.
That’ll keep you going for the show.
Come on it’s time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Russell Watson - Faith of the Heart

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.

Darkmatter I posted the lyrics to Faith of the Heart earlier in the thread. That’s two pieces of music we have in common (the Night will Only Know by Garth Brooks).

I Feel the Earth Move … Written by Carole King

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around

Oh, darling, when you’re near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can’t tame
I’ve just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down,
Tumbling down, tumbling down

Suspicious Minds …Elvis
(words & music by mark james)

We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much baby

Why can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
When you don’t believe a word I say?

We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where I’ve been
You can’t see these tears are real
I’m crying

We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry the tears from your eyes
Let’s don’t let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I’ve never lied to you
Mmm yeah, yeah

Charlottedreamer inspired me, im not sure if I posted this song, but its has to be up

Blackbird, By The Beatles

[color=blue]Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise. [/color]

One is never enough, here’s more

You better you better you bet, by The Who

[color=darkred]I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes.
I sometimes think I should just go home but I’m dealing with a memory
that never forgets
I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself b-lind to the
sound of old T-Rex
To the sound of old T-Rex - who’s next?

[Chorus:]

When I say I love you you say you better
You better you better you bet
When I say I need you you say you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you like a knife

I want those feeble minded axes overthrown
I’m not into your passport picture I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs but this one never begs

I don’t really mind how much you love me
A little is really alright
When you say come over and spend the night
Tonight

[Chorus: (as above)]

I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters
Saying “you better”
You better bet your life

You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now
You better love me, all the time now
You better shove me back into line now.

I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
But knowing I’m so eager to fight can’t make letting me in any easier
I know tha~t I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy
Sometime
But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime.

And when it comes to all night living
I know what I’m giving
I’ve got it all down to a tee
And it’s free.[/color]

My Favourite Beatles Songs

[size 18]HELP The Beatles[/size]

Help, I need somebody,
Help, not just anybody,
Help, you know I need someone, help.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me.

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me.

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changed my mind and opened up the doors.

Help me if you can, I’m feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won’t you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh

[color=blue]Norwegian Wood The Beatles

I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.
She showed me her room, isn’t it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,
So I looked around and I noticed there wasn’t a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time, drinking her wine.
We talked until two and then she said, “it’s time for bed”.
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.
I told her I didn’t and crawled off to sleep in the bath.
And when I awoke I was alone, this bird had flown.
So I lit a fire, isn’t it good, norwegian wood.[/color]

[color=red]Fool on the Hill The Beatles

Day after day alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.

Well on his way his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill . . .
Nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do.
And he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill . . .[/color]

I think the only Beatles song before Hubbs was posted by Abrickinthewall early in part 1 edit…it was “With or Without You”

And now we a shitload of them! Its time to get back with Dark Lyrics!

I love this song, i think i have to hear atleast once a day,ok that’s to much, atleast once a week

[color=green]A PERFECT CIRCLE [/color]
[color=olive]“A Stranger”[/color]

[color=blue]Cast the calming apple
Up and over satellites
To draw out the timid wild one
To convince you it’s alright
And I listen for the whisper
Of your sweet insanity while I formulate
Denials of your affect on me

You’re a stranger
So what do I care
You vanish today
Not the first time I hear
All the lies

What am I to do with all this silence
Shy away, shy away phantom
Run away terrified child
Won’t you move away you f*cking tornado
I’m better off without you
Tearing my will down[/color]

This is a song that i like to hear when i have one to many beers, this song is great for the soul

[color=red]AEROSMITH [/color] - [color=violet]“What It Takes”[/color]

[color=indigo]There goes my old girlfriend, there’s another diamond ring
And, uh, all those late night promises I guess they don’t mean a thing
So baby, what’s the story? Did you find another man?
Is it easy to sleep in the bed that we made?
When you don’t look back I guess the feelings start to fade away.
I used to feel your fire
But now it’s cold inside
And you’re back on the street like you didn’t miss a beat, yeah

[Chorus:]
Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain’s supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me what it takes to let you go.

Yeah
Girl, before I met you I was F.I.N.E. Fine
but your love made me a prisoner, yeah my heart’s been doing time
You spent me up like money, then you hung me out to dry
It was easy to keep all your lies in disguise
'Cause you had me in deep with the devil in your eyes

[Chorus]
Guitar!

Tell me that you’re happy that you’re on your own Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me that it’s better when you’re all alone
Tell me that your body doesn’t miss my touch
Tell me that my lovin’ didn’t mean that much
Tell me you ain’t dyin’ when you’re cryin’ for me

[Chorus]

Tell me what it takes to let you go
Tell me how the pain’s supposed to go
Tell me how it is that you can sleep in the night
Without thinking you lost everything that was
good in your life to the toss of the dice?
Tell me who’s to blame for thinkin’ twice
No no no no 'cause I don’t wanna burn in paradise
Ooo Let go, let go, let go,
let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go,
let it go, let it go, let it go,
let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
I don’t wanna burn, I don’t wanna burn [/color]

BACK TO DARKNESS

[color=darkred]PANTERA-[/color] [color=darkblue]10’s[/color]
[color=red]My skin is cold,
Transfusion with somebody
Morose and old,
Drop into fruitless dying

It was tempting and bared,
The whoring angel rising
Now burning prayers,
My silent time of losing

My foes - they can’t destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

Long for the blur,
We cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt,
Disgusted with my cheapness

My foes - they can’t destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

Reaching down, staring up (at the forgiver)[/color]

Call me demented if I’ve posted this before. @_@

K’s Choice - Believe
[i]
Bravely I look further than I see
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now
I’m so aware of where I am, but I don’t know where that is
And there’s something right in front of me and I

Touch the fingers of my hand
And I wonder if it’s me
Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me
I believe in me

Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I’ll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it’s a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face

Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it’s me
Holding on and on to Love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me, oh
I believe in me

Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless, homeless
Vacuum state of peace

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

Wait for me, I’m nothing on my own
I’m willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I’m so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real and
As long as you’re in front of me then I’ll

I watch the fingers of our hands
And I’m grateful that it’s me
Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

I’m willing to go on but not alone, not now
I’m so aware of everything[/i]

I’ll never stop loving this song

Escape
Ride the Lightning

Fell no pain, but my life ain’t easy
I know I’m my best friend
No one cares, but I’m so much stronger
I’ll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can’t get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity

Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don’t tell my what to do
I don’t care now, 'cause I’m on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain’t right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight

Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

See they try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life is for my own to live my own way

Sorry for all the 'tallica

[color=red]Finger Eleven
Slow Chemical

The wonder of the world is gone and old for sure
All the wonder that I would have found in her

As a hole becomes another strike to burn
An old flame returns

Every intuition fails to find it’s way
One more table turned around I’m back again

Finding I’m a lost and found when she’s not around
When she’s not around I feel it coming down

Get me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical NOW

Give me the drug you know I’m after
Connect me and you could be my chemical

When everybody wants (the chemical of) your soul

When everybody wants (the chemical of) your soul

Slow and
Everybody wants you
So
Slow and
Everybody wants your soul

Give me what I could never ask for
connect me and you could be my chemical NOW

Give me the drug you know I’m after
Connect me and you could be the chemical

You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical[/color]

Scorpions - Wind of Change

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,like brothers
The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I fallow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change [/color]

To the theme of Cat’s in the cradle… (sue me i think it’s funny )

Bob Rivers - Cat’s in the Kettle

did you ever think
when you eat chinese
that it aint pork or chicken
but a fat Siamese
yet the food tastes great
so you don’t complain
but thats not chicken
in your chicken chowmien

seems to me i ordered sweet n sour pork
but garfields on my fork
he’s purring here on my fork

there’s a cat in the kettle
of the pei-king moon
the place that i eat everday at noon
they can feed you cat and you’ll never know
once they rap it up in dough boys
it’s right real crisp in dough.

Chowlin asked if i wanted more
as he was dialin up his buddy at the old pet store
i said not today i lost my appietite
there’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight
i was sucking on a rolaid and a tums or two
when i sware i heard it meow
and that is when knew

there’s a cat in the kettle
at the pei-king moon
think i gotta stop eating there at noon
they say thats its beef or fish or pork
but its purring htere on my fork
theres a hairball on my fork[/color]

[color=blue]That’s entertainment - Paul Weller

A police car and a screaming siren
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking

that’s entertainment.

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

that’s entertainment.

Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls

that’s entertainment.

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays

that’s entertainment.

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summers’ day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway

that’s entertainment.

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs

that’s entertainment.[/color]

I’ve been listening to Alice in Chains lately, kind of depressing, but great music, so here are some lyrics

I Stay Away
by Alice In Chains
[color=blue]
Yeah, I want to travel south
This year
Aaah, Woah, Woah
Won’t prevent safe passage here

Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shade

Yeah, hey Yeah, tears that soak
A callous heart

Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you’ll see

I stay away[/color]

No Excuses by Alice In Chains
[color=red]
It’s alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin’ low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I’ve sold

Everyday it’s something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin’ by myself
No excuses, then I know

It’s okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it’s funny, well
You’re drowning in it too

Yeah, it’s fine
We’ll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway[/color]

In The Light by LED ZEPPELIN

[color=indigo]And if you feel that you can’t go on. And your will’s sinkin’ low
Just believe and you can’t go wrong.
In the light you will find the road. You will find the road

Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul.
I just wanna show what I’d give you it is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would share your load.
Let me share your load. Ooh, let me share, share your load

And if you feel that you can’t go on
In the light you will find the road

Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone
I would share your load. I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me

In the light
Everybody needs the light.
In the light, in the light, in the light

Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

End on the nice side

Jim Stafford Spiders and Snakes

I remember when Mary Lou said
‘You wanna walk me home from school’
And I said, ‘Yes, I do’
She said, ‘I don’t have to go right home
And I’m the kind that likes to be alone
As long as you would’
I said, ‘Me, too’

And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin’ hole
And she said, ‘Do what you want to do’
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her
And I said ‘This frog’s for you’
She said…

Chorus:
‘I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you’

Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I call her up when I got a dime
I say, "Hello, baby’
She says, ‘Ain’t you cool’
I say, ‘Do you remember when?
And would you like to get together again?’
She says, ‘I’ll see you after school’

I was shy and so for a while
Most of my love was touch and smile
Til she said, ‘Come on over here’
I was nervous as you might guess
Still looking for somethin’ to slip down her dress
And she said, ‘Let’s make it perfectly clear’
She said…
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you’

[color=blue]Herman’s Hermits My Sentimental Friend

On the floor, the people dancing round
Moving close together
But there over low in the corner
There’s the girl I once knew
Who broke me in two.
So won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We’ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I’ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

I recall the way she used to feel
When we heard a sad song
The teardrops would fall
And she’d hold me
And tell me,
She’d be for ever with me.
So won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We’ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I’ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

Oh won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We’ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I’ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

So won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there… [/color]

LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER ME.

I’M PRAYING FOR A RAIN IN CALIFORNIA
SO THE GRAPES CAN GROW AND THEY CAN MAKE MORE WINE
AND I’M SITTING IN A HONKY IN CHICAGO
WITH A BROKEN HEART AND A WOMAN ON MY MIND

I’LL ASK THE MAN, BEHIND THE BAR, FOR THE JUKEBOX
AND THE MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TO TENNESSEE
AND WHEN THEY ASK WHO’S THE FOOL IN THE CORNER, CRYING
I’LL SAY, LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER ME

I CAME HERE LAST WEEK FROM DOWN IN NASHVILLE
'COS MY BABY LEFT FOR FLORIDA ON A TRAIN
I THOUGHT I’D GET A JOB AND JUST FORGET HER
BUT IN CHICAGO A BROKEN HEART IS STILL THE SAME

I’LL ASK THE MAN, BEHIND THE BAR, FOR THE JUKEBOX
AND THE MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TO TENNESSEE
AND WHEN THEY ASK WHO’S THE FOOL IN THE CORNER, CRYING
I’LL SAY, LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER

Orestes By A Perfect Circle

Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb One chain One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me
In here I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment (give me)
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don’t wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
No, I don’t wanna feel this world around me hostility
Kill it
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you

“Heresy” By Nine Inch Nails

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what I put inside of me
he’s got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed up a god and called it Christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell I will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell I will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?

I hate to revive an old thread but… ah what the heck I’ll be honest and say that I had fun reviving this baby.

I love this song.
