TWO SIDES by Clawfinger:

There’s nothing a god can give to me that I can’t give to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself
There’s not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time
It’s not that I don’t believe at all but I can’t need a heavenly sing
I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees
I can respect your religion but I don’t want to pay your fees
I don’t want to hear you talk about things you think that I need
So don’t help me back on my feet again until you can hear me pied
Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find
All the rules and regulations made to manipulate your mind
Don’t pretend that you’re blind, just open your mind and study historical times

The bigger the loss
the bigger the cost
the bigger the cross
and its crimes

I don’t believe in god that I need to worship
I don’t believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don’t believe that voice from above can help me
I only believe in that I can see and the things I can achieve

Whatever belief you belong to there’s still always a reason to doubt
And there’s always another opinion as to what life is all about
There’s always a bigger dimension and a different point of view
So I don’t want to try to change you that decision is up to you
Whatever your final choice is and however you chose to live
You better be happy for what you can get and happy with what you can give
There’s only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do
And that is to do unto others as you’d have others do unto you

Two sides two sides to every story
two stories more makes four new ones to chose
Four sides four sides to every story
four stories more makes eight new ones to chose
Eight sides eight sides to every story
eight stories more now which one should you chose
now which one can you use

The Beatles- Within you Without you

We were talking - about the space between us all
And the people - who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth - then it’s far too late - when they pass away
We were talking - about the love we could all share - when we find it
To try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love - we could save the world - if they only knew
Try to realize it’s all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you’re really only very small,
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking - about the love that’s gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul -
They don’t know - they can’t see - are you one of them?
When you’ve seen beyond yourself -
Then you may find peace of mind, is waiting there -
And the time will come when you see we’re all one,
And life flows on within you and without you.

Seven Nation Army
Im gonna fight em off
A seven nation army couldnt hold me back
Theyre gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And Im talking to myself at night
Because I cant forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Dont want to hear about it
Every single ones got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
Im gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear,
But thats what Ill do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
Im going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
Im gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And Im bleeding, and Im bleeding, and Im bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think
No more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Gollum’s Song / Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Soundtrack
Vocals – Emiliana Torrini

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more

Don’t say goodbye
Don’t say I didn’t try…

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!

And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost,
We can never go home…

So in the end
I’ll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye
We say you didn’t try…

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame…

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home…

Ahh, don’t you love a little bit of depressing music? I love this song :tongue:

THE NIGHT WILL ONLY KNOW Garth Brooks

That night will live forever
Their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another
But longing to be lovers
Promising each other that the night will only know

Parked on some old backstreet
They laid down in the backseat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceiving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know

Well within the innuendos
Just outside the steamy windows
The night was shattered by a woman’s scream
Motionless and frightened
The grip of fate had tightened
And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam

They saw a woman bleeding
Stumbling, begging, and retreating
'Til she became the victim of her foe
And they watched her fall in silence
To save their own alliance
But the reason for the violence
Just the night will only know

And every paper ran the story
She was stripped of all her glory
And they told exactly how the woman died
Abandoned and foresaken
too many pills were taken
And they ruled the woman’s death a suicide

Bound by their behaviour
they could have been her saviour
Now guilty 'comes the endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed
and it’s never been admitted
Have the guilty been aquitted
Lord the night will only know.

Beautiful, ppl keep them coming!

Love Lord of the ring ~(:heart:_​:heart:)~

Diamond Road
Sheryl Crow
“C’mon, C’mon”

Walk with me the diamond road
Tell me every story told
Give me something of your soul
That I can hold on to

I want to wake up to the sound of waves
Crashing on a brand new day
Keep the memories of your face
But wipe away the pain

Chorus
When you’re lonely (you’re not alone)
When you’re heart aches (on Diamond Road)
It’s gonna take a little time
Yeah, it’s gonna take a little time
When the night falls (you’re not alone)
When you’re stumbling (on Diamond Road)
It’s gonna take a little time
To make it to the other side

So don’t miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today

Little bird, what’s troubling you
You know what you have to do
What is yours you’ll never lose
And what’s ahead may shine
Beneath the promise of blue skies
With broken wings we’ll learn to fly
Pull yourself out of the tide
And begin the dream again

Chorus

So don’t miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today

Won’t you shine on
Morning light
Burn the darkness away

Walk with me the diamond road
Tell me everything is gold
Give me something of your soul
So you don’t fade away

Chorus

Don’t miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today
Life is what happens while you’re making plans
All that you need is right here in your hands

:grin: I just recently started listening to Sheryl Crow’s album (C’mon C’mon) and all the songs on it are pretty good! Hey… this is my two hundredth post :cool: Woohoo!

Monster Madness - Live For the Moment

There’s a little pile of ashes where my old life used to be
Credit cards and memories all dumped into the sea
Well this ain’t no time for bull—as I fly into the sun
Well you can’t trust anybody if you can’t trust number one

Well, the man tells me my future is not so far away
To get ready for tomorrow, I got to waste my whole today
My inner life knows better,yeah it’s what I want to hear
Just like a diamond bullet,where it’s crystal, crystal clear

Oh yeah!!!

Whooooooooo!!!

I can slam a tornado
I can dry up a sea, yeah
When I live for the moment,
There ain’t no one greater than me

You’ll never find your pleasure if you worry about your pain
And your precious little details are stretching out my brain
Well, you spin around and bite your nails, now let me tell you, son
That you can’t trust anybody if you can’t trust number 1

Well, the man tells me my future is not so far away
To get ready for tomorrow, I got to waste my whole today
Well my inner life knows better, well its what I want to hear
Just like a diamond bullet, well it’s crystal, crystal clear

Oh yeah!!!
I can slam a tornado
I can dry up a sea
When I live for the moment,
There ain’t no one greater than me
Now don’t you sell me no future, yeah
Don’t you sell me your love.
I ain’t punchin your number
You couldn’t pay me enough!!!

I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away
I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away
I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away
I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away!!!

Yeah!

I can slam a tornado
I can dry up a sea
When I live for the moment,
There ain’t no (aint no) in me
Now don’t you sell me no future, yeah
Don’t you sell me your love.
I ain’t punchin your number
You couldn’t pay me enough

You couldn’t pay me enough
You couldn’t pay me enough
You couldn’t pay me enough
You couldn’t pay me enough…

( Repeat to end…)

I just discovered the hoodoo gurus! An aussie garage/punk/power rock band with great lyrics like:

The Real Deal

There’s only one thing that matters, there’s only one thing
There’s only one Fate that happens, there’s only one Fate
There’s only one prize worth taking, so open your eyes
There’s only one love worth making, there’s only one love
There’s only one love

Can you see me, can you hear me can you make me feel?
Can you reach inside and teach me?
Re-invent my wheel?
Are you the real deal?

There’s only one time worth wasting, this is your time
There’s only one fruit worth tasting , there’s only one fruit
There’s only one life, start living, there’s only one life
There’s only one gift, start giving, there’s only one gift
There’s only one gift

Do you mean it, do you mean it, do you understand?
Do I trust you, ‘cos I must to leave it in your hands
Are you the real deal?
Are you real?

I wanna know – are you the real deal
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the… real… deal…?

Can you see me, can you hear me can you make me feel?
Can you reach inside and teach me?
Re-invent my wheel?

There’s only one line worth taking, there’s only one line
There’s only one love worth making, there is only one love
There is only one love

I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the… real… deal…?
It’s so real

Where Nowhere Is

Do you know where nowhere is?
It’s where you are.
Do you know what nothing means?
Y-O-U.
Do you know what no-one thinks?
It’s all about you.
And do you know what?
Nobody cares!

Well, you can’t see the stars
In the daytime,
And you can’t see the sun
When it’s night,
And you can’t even see yourself In the mirror
And I can’t see you at all.
Not at all.

Do you know where (Nowhere!)
Nowhere is?

You had everything
That you ever wanted
Man, you had it made
Was what you had!
You forgot the only thing
You ever needed
And you can’t hide, You can’t hide,
You can’t hide that from me!
No, not from me.

Metallica-One

I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I’m waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Back in the womb it’s much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can’t look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I’ll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone I’m just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

One of the few songs that ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes… :crying:

My 2 favortie songs, i like to hear after each other the artist is Pink Floyd and the ablum is Darkside of the moon :content:
“Brain Damage”

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

“I can’t think of anything to say except…
I think it’s marvellous! HaHaHa!”

“Eclipse”

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All that you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All that you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Pink Floyd makes an entrance again…they are so inspiring.

Here’s another…

Yep Reality.Failure Bright Eyes is a real sad song but its beautiful :smile:
I love it :wink:

They’re Coming To Take Me Away
by Dr.Demento

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged
You not to leave
Because I’d go berserk?
Well!
You left me anyhow and then
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind.

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!

You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed, you laughed,
when I had said that losing you
would make me flip my lid.
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed
and laughed and then you left but
Now you know I’m utterly mad

And

They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha,
They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho,
hee hee, haa haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged
You not to leave
Because I’d go berserk?
Well!
You left me anyhow and then
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind.

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa

Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!

You thought it was a joke

when I had said that losing you
would make me flip my lid.
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed
and laughed and then you left but
Now you know I’m utterly mad

And

They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha,
They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho,
hee hee, haa haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-hahaha…

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back for
All my kind, unselfish, loving deeds,
Hah?
Well you just wait, they’ll find you yet
And when they do they’ll put you in the ASPCA you mangey mutt!

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm

The Laughing Gnome
by David Bowie

I was walking
Down the high street
When I heard footsteps behind me
And there was a little old man (hello!)
Scarlet and Gray, chuckling away

Well he trotted
Back to my house
And he sat beside the telly (ahh)
With his tiny hands on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day

i’ll have to report you to the gnome office
(gnome office? ahahahah!)

Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Said the laughing gnome

Well I gave him roasted toadstools
And a glass of dandelion wine (burp pardon)
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
Carried his bags, and gave him a fag (have you got a light boy?)

hey where do you come from?
(gnome-ans land, hehe!)
oh really?

In the morning
When i woke up
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
With his brother who’s name was Fred
He brought him along
To sing me a song

alright let’s hear it
now, what’s that clicking noise?
(that’s Fred, he’s a metro-gnome, haha)

Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me

(oh now, i’m a gnome anyway haha)
haven’t you got a home to go to?
(no, we are gnome-ads hehe)
didn’t they teach you to get your hair cut at school you look like a rolling gnome
(nah, not at the London school of eco-gnome-ics)

Now they’re staying
Up me chimney
And we’re living on cavier and honey (hurray!)
Cos they’re earning me lots of money
Writing comedy pros
For radio shows

it’s the earth
it’s the gnome-service of course!

Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee (oh really)
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
(one more time!)
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me.

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall (Part I, II, III) lyrics

Daddy’s gone across the ocean,
Leaving just a memory,
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, whatcha leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was just the bricks in the wall

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave those kids alone
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave those kids alone
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall

I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don’t think I need any thing at all
No. Don’t think I need anything at all
All in all it was all just the bricks in the wall
All in all it was all just the bricks in the wall

:hmmm:
The Movieby: Jim Morrison
The movie will begin in five moments

The mindless voice announced

All those unseated will await the next show.

We filed slowly, languidly into the hall

The auditorium was vast and silent

As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued.

The program for this evening is not new

You’ve seen this entertainment through and through

You’ve seen your birth your life and death

you might recall all of the rest

Did you have a good world when you died?

Enough to base a movie on?.

Ach ja, I love this song. :slight_smile: Finally found it again. It was originally in German by Nena as “Neunundneunzig luftballons”…Or did I misspell that last word? Sorry…

99 Red Balloons

You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, “Something’s out there”
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by.

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it’s red alert
There’s something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Knights of the air
ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone’s a Silverhero
Everyone’s a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by.

As 99 red balloons go by.

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It’s all over and I’m standin’ pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here…
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.

Ooh, and a reference to dreams, too. :content:

I remember that song Nazca, i think its spelled Luft im not sure my self, but i used love that song, i was head banging while reading the lyrics (i was feeling the old groove). Ofcourse that was just my 80’s phase seeping out. I like when you guys post classic rock Lyrics, its always fun to read lyrics to the same songs I listen to almost everyday.
