I was just wondering what everybody's favourite song lyrics were. Go on. Post.

well, After playing Rumble Roses on the PS2, I kinda have this tune stuck in my head.

Are you ready for the new sensation?
Well, here's the shot heard 'round the world.
All you backroom boys salute when her flag unfurls.
Well, guess who's back in circulation?
Now, I don't know what you may have heard
but what I need right now's the original goodtime girl.

She's a vision from coast to coast,
sea to shining sea.
Hey, sister, you're perfect host.

Show me your bright lights and your city lights, all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose.
Bright lights in your city lights, all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout it.

When she walks, watch, the sparks will fly,
firecrackin' on the fourth of July.
No sad songs tonight, something's in the air.
She's a real state of independents.
So pretty when her rockets glare,
still provin' any night that her flag is still there.

She's a vision from coast to coast,
sea to shining sea.
Hey, sister, you're perfect host.

Show me your bright lights and your city lights, all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose.
Bright lights in your city lights, all right.
I'm in love with the Yankee Rose.

Ah, she's beautiful, alright,
mm, nothin' like her in the whole world.
Yeah, she's right on time, I'm on the case.
Pick up the phone, no time to waste.
She got the beat and here's a little bit comin' your way.

Bright lights, city lights...

We played king of the mountain out on the end
The world come chargin' up the hill, and we were women and men
Now there's so much that time, time and memory fade away
We got our own roads to ride and chances we gotta take
We stood side by side each one fightin' for the other
We said until we died we'd always be blood brothers

Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away
Makin' a fool's joke out of the promises we make
And what once seemed black and white turns to so many shades of gray
We lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay
And it's a ride, ride, ride, and there ain't much cover
With no one runnin' by your side my blood brother

On through the houses of the dead past those fallen in their tracks
Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back
Now I don't know how I feel, I don't know how I feel tonight
If I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or I've gained sight
I don't even know why, I don't why I made this call
Or if any of this matters anymore after all

But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered
I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart
My blood brother.

- Bruce Springsteen, Blood Brothers.


For my friends, no matter how long or far.

not really my favorite, but close enough.

JETHRO TULL - Wind-Up

When I was young and they packed me off to school
and taught me how not to play the game,
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
or if they said that I was a fool.
So I left there in the morning
with their God tucked underneath my arm --
their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
So I asked this God a question
and by way of firm reply,
He said -- I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers --
I don't believe you:
you had the whole damn thing all wrong --
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
Well you can excomunicate me on my way to Sunday school
and have all the bishops harmonize these lines --
how do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son
when that was just an accident of Birth.
I'd rather look around me -- compose a better song
`cos that's the honest measure of my worth.
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me,
as you lick the boots of death born out of fear.
I don't believe you:
you had the whole damn thing all wrong --
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.

I'm in league with satan
I was raised in hell
I walk the streets of Salem
Amongst the living dead
I need no one to tell me
What's wrong or right
I drink the blood of children
Stalk my prey at night

Chorus . .
Look out beware
When the full moon's high n'bright
In every way I'm there
In every shadow in the night
Coz I'm evil in league with satan
Evil in league with satan

I'm in league with satan
Obey his commands
With the goat of Mendes
Sitting at his left hand
I'm in league with satan
I love the dead
No one prayed for Sodom
As the people fled

I'm in league with satan
I am the masters own
I drink the juice of women
As they lie alone
I'm in league with satan
I bear the devils mark
I kill the new born baby
Tear the infants flesh

satan-satan-satan

A smack on the wrists is the words from the mouth
of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns
And the rape, it should all be O.K.
Your father is rich, he's the judge, he's the man,
he's the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows what
he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you - in you

(Chorus)
Drag the waters some more
Like never before

(Chorus)

Sweet is the slice and the lips - you're gonna have
that woman - she is your favorite lay
Promised you (swore) that no one had been there,
and she was going to keep it that way
Let it move in, you got thin, and got high, and
your money went and so did your friends
But she's by your side, and her smile cannot hide
the premonition of the beckoning end - the end

(Chorus)
(Chorus)

In with it, out with it

drag them waters

I've got plenty of favorite songs, and despite being newer (released late 2004), its lyrics have become some of my favorite.

Edguy - King of Fools

What do you think when you spit in my face
How does if feel to accuse and to haze
Now look at me, I'm not one of your kind
And I prefer to stay behind
And walk the wicked way

We don't wanna be like you
We don't get than king of fools
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools

We are never gonna be like you
We don't follow - King of fools
You're the blind to lead the blind
And I walk the wicked way

You feel at ease as you flock with the masses
What do you see with your heads in their asses
Keep on railing at what I believe
Call me insane and I am proud to be
And walk the wicked way

We don't wanna be like you
Don't you get than king of fools
We don't mind your life is trite
You are the king of fools

We're not gonna be like you
We don't follow - King of fools
You are the blind to lead the blind - oh

The Beatles - I've just seen a face

I’ve just seen a face
I can’t forget the time or place where we just met
She’s just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we’ve met

Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way and I’d have never been aware
But as it is I’ll dream of her tonight

Falling yes I am falling and she keeps calling me back again

I have never known the like of this
I’ve been alone and I have missed things and kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this

Falling yes I am falling and she keeps calling me back again
Falling yes I am falling and she keeps calling me back again

Blue Oyster Cult- Go Go Godzilla

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

I just think it´s a wise and educated way of telling someone to f#@!& off!

The Beatles - Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds


Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she’s gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you’re gone.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.

I Am the Walrus
Lennon/McCartney
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo.


Awesomely trippy lyrics

Short, but still one of my favourites.

"Waltz #1", by Elliot Smith

"every time the day darkens down and goes away pictures open in my head of me and you
silent and cliché all the things we did and didn't say covered up by what we did and didn't do
going through every out i used to cop to make the repetition stop:
what was i supposed to say?
now i never leave my zone we're both alone i'm going home
i wish i'd never seen your face"

Bah, the lyrics are wrong. I'm listening to it right now, and there are a few lines missing, but I can't quite make them out. Maybe it's because I'm listening to the demo version, not the released version?

Another good song:

"Eleanor Rigby", by the Beatles

"Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?"

Iceland by Before God. I don't know if I would call it my favorite song but I can't stop listening to it... Nice varied vocals, awsome imagery, incredible guitar and piano work and a jaw dropping solo. Some epic Black Metal.


Before God - Iceland

Land of fire, land of snow
The paling moon, so brightly glows
The howling wolves, sing their songs
Of timeless hunger, through nights long

Through bitter nights, of winters cold
The strong survived, and they were bold
Men of iron, with will of gods
Would flourish still, against the odds

Land of fire, land of snow
To golden seas, clean rivers flow
From the valleys low, to mountains high
All is pure, from land to sky

Awe is splendor, but be it known
That life and death, share this home
All that strived, to tame this land
Did do so, by their own hands

Realms of life, realms of death
Can give you all, or steal your breath
Chaos, and harmony
Coexists, endlessly
Land of fire, land of ice
Strong of ill, breaks winters vice
Through stings the air, and solid earth
Its a struggle, til springs rebirth

This land of chaos in harmony
Full of great sagas to be told
Of warriors who braved the seas
Never fearing the oceans bold
Our fathers from these lands came
With courage in their hearts
And this land of snow they tamed
While each man did his part

So fear not but praise the coming cold
For this is when the night is clear
And old instincts soon take hold
At yule each earths new year

Remember from whence you came
And that when the Nordic wind blow
The lands of ice from where we came
Are much more than lands of snow

When the midnight raven calls
In the north’s silvery moonlight
And the snow begins to fall
Upon midgard tonight
Take time now to remember
When the Nordic wind blow
In the chill of December
A land rich with fire and snow.

not really my favorite, but close enough.

You're an idiot if you truly find any tatse whatsoever in these lyrics.

Its so hard to actually pick a favorite, but here it is:
A Perfect Circle- Imagine


Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

(Imagine all the people sharing all the world)

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

(plus it fits so well)

Nine Inch Nails - "Hurt"



I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feeling disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end

you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Drakedia, that's pretty sweet... ever listen to Einherjer? They're pretty good, too. I like the Dragons of the North album the best, I think.

I find them to be true, so let's just agree to disagree, and your sanctimonious ass can gloat at the fact that Nonconformist and I are going to hell :p

I find part of that true....but not nearly all of it...sheesh do you really listen to that?

Är du lycklig nu? (Are you happy now?)
Det ser inte så ut (It doesn't look like it)
Du vet allting som man gör? (You know, all those things you do?)
Det kommer tillbaks till dig själv till slut (In the end, they all come back to you)

Hon verkar opålitlig (She seems unreliable)
Ja, kort sagt hon liknar dig (åh, åh) (Shortly, she seems to resemble you)
Ni kan leka era lekar, (You can play your games)
För de roar inte mig (They no longer amuse me)

(Chorus)
Du kunde ha var't med mig (You could have been with me)
Du kunde ha haft det bra (Your life could have been good)
Men det som kommer till dig (But what comes to you)
Det vill du aldrig ha (You never want to have)

Du kunde ha var't med mig, (You could have been with me)
Åh, kom ihåg det (Remember that)
Du kunde ha var't med mig, (You could have been with me)
Men nu är det försent (But now it's too late)

Du säger du är rastlös (You say you're restless)
Du tror du ursäktar allt du gör (You think that excuses everything you do)
Och du säger du är känslig (And you say you're sensitive)
Och du säger det så alla hör (And you say it so everyone can hear you)

Men dina handlingar säger mycket mer (But your actions say so much more)
Och alla dina vackra ord (åh) (Than all your pretty words)
Och det skär i mitt hjärta, (And it stabs my heart)
När jag tänker på allt vi kunde ha gjort (When I think of all that we could have done)

I find part of that true....but not nearly all of it...sheesh do you really listen to that?

occationally.

That song is not as good as 'California Über Alles" though

Hey! *delayed state pride*
but lol heres some Governator bashing:


He's at it again
And he's gonna win
Gonna take it for a hell ride anyway
He's on your side
Gonna throw you aside
And let the vultures pick apart what's left
Seems like everything was just a fraction of a second from being okay
So run and hide 'cause we're all gonna die
And let the vultures pick apart what's left
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again
He's at it again
And it makes great television watching the world end
He's at it again
He's gonna win
Gonna take it for a joyride anyway
You're standing in line, better make up your mind
And let the bastard pick apart what's left of you
Seems like everything was just a fraction of being a dream
So run and hide 'cause we're all gonna die
Let the government decide what's left
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
He's at it again
He's at it again
And it makes great television watching the world end
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
Walk around I see
Million possibilities
Well I know
Nowhere to go
And I can't comprehend
Things this real seems so pretend
I know...I don't know
But I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
I'll be back
And it makes great television watching the world end
I'll be back ...

since we seem to be having a favorite (beatles) lyrics night

IN MY LIFE

There are places I’ll remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these mem’ries lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I’ll love you more

Though I know I’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I’ll often stop and think about them
In my life I’ll love you more
In my life I’ll love you more

Maxwell's Silver Hammer
Lennon/McCartney

Joan was quizzical, studied metaphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures
Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door...

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead

B.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-oo
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind

Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead

I happen to agree with those views, but they could say it differently than 'I want to throw up"...but to each his own.

haha compared to most of the stuff i listen to DK isnt crude at all.

Jessica Folcker.

haha compared to most of the stuff i listen to DK isnt crude at all.
Relatively. They were very close to edging into the quasimainstream, and what they did was enough to get them into serious trouble with the religious right (the infamous poster in frankenchrist that got Biafra arrested comes to mind)

Jessica Folcker.
Never heard of her. Not surprising. What genre?

The Cure: "A Night Like This"

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
It goes darker still
Please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust
The most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still
This touch
And the smile and the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect
Like before
I want to change it all

I want to change
A love song never spoke so eloquently.

To each his own, then. I thought it was a weird religious thing, but apparently it's a matter of lyrical quality :p. My favorite lyrics are as follows:

Public Image Limited - Religion

Stained glass windows keep the cold outside
While the hypocrites hide inside
With the lies of statues in their minds
Where the christian religion made them blind
Where they hide and pray to the god of a bitch
Spelt backwards is dog
Not for one race, one creed, one world
But for money, effective, absurd

Do you pray to the holy ghost when you suck your host
Do yo read who's dead in the Irish Post
Do you give away the cash you can't afford
On bended knees, and pray to the lord
Fat pig priest, sanctimonious smile
He takes the money, you take the lies

This is religion, and Jesus Christ
This is religion, cheeply priced
This is bibles full of libel
This is sin, an eternal hymn
This is what they've done
This is your religion

The apostles were eleven
Now there's a sod in heaven
This is religion
There's a liar on the altar
The sermon never falter
This is religion
Your religion

My December, as done by Linkin Park

"this is my december
this is my time of the year
this is my december
this is all so clear

this is my december
this is my snow covered home
this is my december
this is me alone

and i
just wish that i didnt feel
like there was something i missed
and i
take back all the things i said
to make you feel like that
and i
just wish that i didnt feel
like there was something i missed
and i
take back all the things i said to you

and i give it all away

Never heard of her. Not surprising. What genre?

Something we call "vispop" is Swedish. If you've heard anything by "Mauro Scocco," you'll know what it sounds like. It's sort of like slow, mellow, sad songs. Typically Swedish.

While digesting Readers' Digest at the back of a dirty-book store, A plastic flag with gum on the back fell out on the floor. Well I picked it up and I ran outside, slapped on mky window shield, And if I could see old Betsy Ross, I'd tell her how good I feel.

Drakedia, that's pretty sweet... ever listen to Einherjer? They're pretty good, too. I like the Dragons of the North album the best, I think.

I haven't heard any of their stuff but I'll definatly look out for it. I'm only just starting to get into Black/Viking metal, I've always been more of a thrash guy. I have to say it's really growing on me though, the atmospheric touch of the keyboards and the contrast with screams/growls and clean vocals... it's a really immpressive genre.

Check out Storms Nordavind album then, it's norwegian folk-metal. It's Fenriz from Darkthrone and Satyr fron Satyricon (both bands you should check out as well) collaborating with a female singer named Kari Rueslåten (who has no other connection to the Black Metal scene, but has a beautiful voice)

3.Velveteen
Seeing you in my tears
In my own reflection
I hear you in the wind that passes through me

Feel you in my hunger
You're haunting my ambition
Beautifully distractive attraction

Climbed to zero G's
Now falling like a rock
Drugged and digitized you inside a dream

E Tu sei per me...Iaria che respiro
Il mio cibo, cCioche osservo
Magico sei tu! E sento che
Sono inamorata di emozioni
Smisurate e infinite ormai!
vivi, Nei miei pensieri...

<A Velveteen Equation>

I find you in my fears
And in my fascination
I taste you in safe water and it drowns me

Paranoid and peaceful
Inside a sweet addiction
Velvety electrical reaction

Soft insanity
And I can't make it stop
Live hallucination within a dream

E Tu sei per me...Iaria che respiro
Il mio cibo, cCioche osservo
Magico sei tu! E sento che
Sono inamorata di emozioni
Smisurate e infinite ormai!
vivi, Nei miei pensieri...

<A Velveteen Equation>

Magico, Questo eun Grande Amore

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha

Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

<chorus 3> repeat 2 times
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum,
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

<chorus 3>

<chorus 3>

III.Blow Me Away
They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play

I can’t see them anyway

No time to lose
We’ve got to move
Steady your hand

I am losing sight again

Fire your guns
Its time to run
Blow me away

I will stay unless I've made

After the fall
We’ll shake it off
Show me the way

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I have a shadow on the wall
I’ll be the one to save us all

There’s nothing left
So save your breath
Lying and wait

Caught inside this tidal wave

You’re covers blown
No where to go
Holding your fate

Knowing that I will walk alone

Fire your guns
Its time to run
Blow me away

I will stay unless I've made

After the fall
We’ll shake it off
Show me the way

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I have a shadow on the wall
I’ll be the one to save us all
You wanted it back

Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven when we die
I have a shadow on the wall
I’ll be the one to save us all
Save us all

So Cruel-U2

We crossed the line
Who pushed who over
It doesn't matter to you
It matters to me
We're cut adrift
We're still floating
I'm only hanging on
To watch you go down
My love

I disappeared in you
You disappeared from me
I gave you everything you ever wanted
It wasn't what you wanted

The men who love you, you hate the most
They pass through you like a ghost
They look for you but your spirit is in the air
Baby, you're nowhere

Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel

Desparation is a tender trap
It gets you every time
You put your lips to her lips
To stop the lie

Her skin is pale like God's only dove
Screams like an angel for your love
Then she makes you watch her from above
And you need her like a drug

Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel

She wears my love like a see-through dress
Her lips say one thing
Her movements something else
Oh love...like a screaming flower
Love...dying every hour...love

You don't know if it's fear or desire
Danger the drug that takes you higher
Head in heaven, fingers in the mire
Her heart is racing, you can't keep up
The night is bleeding like a cut
Between the horses of love and lust
We are trampled underfoot
Oh...love...you say in love there are no rules
Oh...love...sweetheart...
You're so cruel

Oh...love...to stay with you I'd be a fool
Sweetheart...you're so cruel

Its two a.m. the fear is gone
I'm sittin here waiting
the guns still warm
maybe my connections tired of taking chances
Now there's a storm on the loose
siren rings in my head
wrapped up in silence
all circuits are dead
cannot decode..... my whole life spins into the frenzy

Help I'm stepin into the twilight zone
This place is a madhouse
feels like being cloned
my beacons been moved under moon and star
where am I to go now that I've gone too far


Golden Earing -Twilight Zone
There's much more plus a great guitar solo. One of two sonds I like from them.
Other good stuff =Molotov-Puto

It's supposed to be crude. That's the entire point of the Dead Kennedys work. At least that song. (Which I don't like. Too crude)

Yeah. In God We Trust Inc. Was mostly crap. Apart from a couple of alright moments, and "We've Got a Bigger Problem Now", which is awesome. Oh, and "Nazi Punks Fuck Off", of course. :p

Hmm. Another DK's song.

Drug Me - Dead Kennedys

I don’t want to think
Don’t make me care
I wanna melt in with the group
I need the balls
To leap out of my shell
And let go with my friends

Can’t come up with anything I want to do
I need a project I can finish
My brain needs some stimulation
Drug me drug me drug me drug me drug me

I’m so fucking tired
I gotta stay awake
I’m runnin’ late
I gotta make it thru the day
And make my time go by

Tv and the stereo and girls are lots of fun
I want the max
I relate better loaded
’gotta see that movie stoned’

Drug me drug me drug me drug me
Drug me with natural vitamin c
Drug me with pharmaceutical speed
Drug me with your sleeping pills
Drug me with your crossword puzzles
Drug me with your magazines
Drug me with your fuck machines
With a fountain of fads
More rock and roll ads
Drug me drug me drug me me me

Finally off of work
Unwind and watch the ball game at the bar
Another potato chip weekend
Is here at last

Go away go away go away go away go away
Leave me alone
So I can’t see myself
Drug me drug me drug me

Don't know how new it is, but it's new to me--John Vanderslice. Heated Pool and Bar


HEATED POOL AND BAR

my cousin is in columbia
hunting down the rebels
over fields of bright and shiny coca

over the jungle floor
one-handing a 32
he says: “bring her down low now, I’m ready to go.”

“I hunt kids in camouflage
rain down bullets in flight, white light,
barefoot boys run for your lives.”

but you can’t be nice
you put your gun to their head
and you pull back the pin
and you can’t be good

my friend is based in afghanistan
he goes from cave to cave and pulls the trigger
at the first sight of a man

it’s total anarchy
shooting tracer bullets at night
a high and holy patrol into poppy fields

but you can’t be good
you hold up the bloody knife
and let it shine in the sun
you gotta be everywhere

I’m a guard in guantanamo
I bring the prisoners in
the hoods come off and torture slowly begins

the screams I’ve overheard
it’d fuck up a weaker man
but I’m cold, I’m so untouchable

and you can’t be nice
I got a flak jacket
on my soul with me tonight
and you can’t be good

Check out Storms Nordavind album then, it's norwegian folk-metal. It's Fenriz from Darkthrone and Satyr fron Satyricon (both bands you should check out as well) collaborating with a female singer named Kari Rueslåten (who has no other connection to the Black Metal scene, but has a beautiful voice)

Yeah I love the blend of folk and metal, it gives the music a lot of character and soul. Right now I pretty much only listen to NSBM but I'll check these guys out. Is this stuff easy to find in a record store? I can't really buy over the net and I won't both Before God albums so badly...

I guess that depends on where you live. It's fairly easy to get hold of here in Denmark

Paranoid - Black Sabbath


Finished with my woman
'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
Because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me
Occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness
I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me us so unreal

And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late

I guess that depends on where you live. It's fairly easy to get hold of here in Denmark

Western Canada. We're not exactly known for our Black Metal out here...

I did find an ok NSBM internet radio station, but it's nice to have the actual CD's. I guess thats the big downside to listening to that kind of music. :(

My favorite is of course "freude schone gotterfunken // tochter aus elysium"

several things tie:

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said "Peace could last forever"
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land


And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
Your power hungry sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war


Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood we're spilling
Look at the world we're killing
The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
Look at the leaders we've followed
Look at the lies we've swallowed
And I don't want to hear no more


My hands are tied
For all I've seen has changed my mind
But still the wars go on as the years go by
With no love of God or human rights
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross of homicide
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

also

no te busque
pero te vi
y comprendi
que te queriiiii

and

no importa que el sol se muera
yo
siempre estare pensando en ti
si la luna llora por amor
yo llorare con ella por ti

Linchpin - Fear FActory

Can't take me apart! x 2

see the light, a new day, has arrived for us
genesis of our evolution
a linchpin, holds within, a means to an end
can't you see, that we are one?

can't take me apart! x 4
no you can't!

we see no end to the dream
we will never see the end
we will never be the end
all my life, I've felt discarded
never feeling, a part of it

no you can't!

without me you will fade, you will not remain
we are one, and of the same future machine!
a linchpin holds within a means to an end
can't you see that we are one?

can't take me apart! x 4
no you can't!

we see no end to the dream!

we will never see the end
we will never be the end
all my life I've felt discarded
never feeling a part of it

no you
no you can't take x 6
me apart

we will never see the end
we will never be the end
all my life I've felt discarded
never feeling a part of it
you can't change me x5
you can't change me now

I still remember that night
It was the fourth of July
It's still engraved in my mind
And I'm not surprised
Gang wars no guns, hand to hand
You're black, I'm white, He's purple
But I still don't understand
I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be OK
Everything is gonna be fi-i-i-i-ine

Look who's laughing now
I'll pull it off somehow when you say
As I pass her by, I can see her cry
And I'll never forget the look that was in her eyes
And the music, you know it plays on & on & on
So will somebody tap her on the shoulder
Tell her life goes on

Three years two months one week four days
I'm always counding down, cause there aint no easier way
Trust me, you know that I try
If I said I didn't then you'd know that I told a lie
I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be just fine
One down, five billion to go,
Am I next in line, do I really want to know

Who's laughin now, I'll pull it off somehow
As I pass her by, I can see her cry
And I'll never forget the look that was in her eyes
And the music, you know it plays on & on & on
So will somebody tap her on the shoulder, tell her life goes on

-On&On&On by Catch 22

"When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone"

The Undertones - Mars Bars

I need a Mars Bar, hey raid the spa
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar, I've had total fun
It helps me, makes me work, rest, and play
It helps me, makes me work, rest, and play

I never eat my dinner
I push away the plate
You can see I'm getting thinner
Because I just can't wait to get my

Mars Bar, hey raid the spa
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar, I've had total fun
It helps me, makes me work, rest, and play
It helps me, makes me work, rest, and play

To Patrick Moore and David Bowie
And all the other stars
There's evidence here to show you
That there's life on Mars

I need a Mars Bar, hey raid the spa
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar, I've had total fun
It helps me, makes me work, rest, and play

There's glucose for energy
Caramel for strength
The chocolate's only there
To keep it the right length

To anybody out there who still eats Twix
Anybody on packets of Buttons
I gave them up when I was six
I hope your teeth are rotten

I need a Mars Bar, hey raid the spa
To help me through the day
I need a Mars Bar, I've had total fun
It helps me, makes me work, rest, and play
It helps me, makes me work, rest, and play
Work, rest, and play

My favourite extract is by Pink Floyd (i forget the song, pretty sure it's second disk of The Wall)

There must be some mistake
i didn't mean to let them take
away
my soul

Am i too old?
Is it too late?

Not sure about entire song, i'll have to think about it.

This song gives me the chills everytime I listen to it. The whole album the song is on (Failure) was made after the artist's father committed suicide.

Assemblage 23: Dissapoint

Just one more time
For the sake of sanity
Tell me why
Explain the gravity
That drove you to this
That brought you to this place
That pushed you down
Into the soil's embrace

Give me the chance
I was denied
To sit and talk with you
For one last time

Did I disappoint you?
Did I let you down?
Did I stand on the shore
And watch you as you drowned?
Can you forgive me?
I never knew
The pain you carried
Deep inside of you.

I can't forget
Having to see
The words that knocked the wind
Right out of me
It's not enough
I've come undone
Trying to find sense
Where there is none

Just give me peace
You owe me that
To help ward off the fears
I must combat

And so I ask
For one more chance
To understand
This senseless circumstance
Help me to see
This through your eyes
The reasons I've been trying
To surmise

Though you are gone
I am still your son
And while your pain is over
Mine has just begun

Its so hard to actually pick a favorite, but here it is:
A Perfect Circle- Imagine

~snippity-snip~

PLEASE TELL ME you are aware A Perfect Circle didn't write that! PLEASE tell me you know John Lennon wrote that, and performed it better to boot! Please, please, please, do not let one of the greatest British songs ever made get hijacked by some tattooed, untalented Americans!

EDIT: My own song:

Tori Amos - Winter

snow can wait, i forgot my mittens
wipe my nose, get my new boots on
i get a little warm in my heart and i think of winter
i put my hand in my father's cloak

i run off where the drifts get deeper
sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
i hear a voice, you must leanr to stand up
for yourself, cos i can't always be around

he says

when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as i do
when you gonna make up your mind
cos things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
i tell you that i'll always want you near
you say that things change, my dear

boys get discovered as winter melts
flower's competing for the sun
years go by and i'm used to waiting
withering where some showman was
mirror, mirror, where's the crystal palace
but i only can see myself
skating around the true who-i-am
but i know, dear, the ice is getting thin

when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as i do
when you gonna make up your mind
cos things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses are still in bed
i tell you that i'll always want you near
you say that things change, my dear

hair is grey and the fires are burning
so many dreams on the shelf
you say i wanted you to be proud of me
i always wanted that myself

when you gonna make up your mind
when you gonna love you as much as i do
when you gonna make up your mind
cos things are gonna change so fast
all the white horses have gone on ahead
i tell you that i'll always want you near
you say that things change, my dear

never change

all the white horses

Aah, the Lennon version. Where he sings "..imagine no possessions..." as he plays on a grand piano in the middle of a spacious mansion.
Perhaps he was sincere, but the video is pretentious to the extreme.

Oh Christ yes. I'm not saying the video wasn't absurd, but the song, oh my, the song is just indescribable. A Perfect Circle didn't do a bad job, but the trouble was the original was so good that any cover is like sewage next to the original.

Another good extract - Dying to Live (no idea who sung it originally, i only know the 2pac/biggie track)

Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see
When there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die?

And 'possibly' my favourite song lyrics: Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head

I'm gonna buy this place,
And burn it down,
I'm gonna put it six feet underground,
I'm gonna buy this place,
And watch it fall,
Stand here beside my baby and the crumbling walls,
Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire,
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires,
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn,
And do back the things it did to you in return.

Said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war,
If you can tell me something worth fighting for,
Oh I'm gonna buy this place is what I said,
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head.

Honey all the movements we started to make,
See me crumble and fall on my face,
And I know the mistakes that I've made,
See it all disappear without trace,
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on

Start as you mean to go on

Said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside me baby watch the orange glow
Some'll laugh, some just sit and cry
You just sit down then you wonder why

So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place is what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh To the head, oh

Honey, all the movements we started to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on

As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on

So meet me by the bridge
Oh meet me by the lake
When am I gonna see that pretty face again?
Meet me on the road
Meet me where I said
Blame it all upon a rush of blood to the head

Ah, i've never heard the APC version. But yeah i can see where you're coming from :)

I know APC didn't write the song, but it sounds so different from the original I honestly forgot when I posted it. Sorry about that. And I love the APC version. ...(hides behind trash can)

Plus it reminds me of the Johnny Cash version of NIN's 'Hurt'...it sounds a little creepy at first but it grows on you.

Five Iron Frenzy - Kamikaze

i'm going in (1,2,3 and go)
like a kamikaze (like geronimo)
a leap of faith (and i finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1 i'm going in

i don't know if it's just me
but it seems that things aren't changing
every day is pretty much the same
with a little rearranging
if i do nothing i can't fail
no blistered hands, no broken nails
killing time, i'm paralyzed
with faded dreams and hollow eyes
i've been waiting for a revelation
for a moment of clarity
conflicts and convolutions
ricochet inside of me
there comes a time for throwing caution to the wind
i feel the pulse again

i'm going in (1,2,3 and go)
like a kamikaze (like geronimo)
a leap of faith (and i finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1 i'm going in (1, 2, 3 say when)
like a flaming arrow (soaring in the wind)
a leap of faith (and i finally feel alive)
3, 2, 1 i'm going in

i am so slow to commit
i have wasted years on fences
is is really true the shoes don't fit?
is it only my defenses?
what if i don't measure up,
don't listen well, don't smile enough?
alone and unknown up 'till now
need to change direction somehow
i've been open to persuasion
wanting someone to take the lead
it's alittle disconcerting
signing up for eternity
there comes a time for throwing caution to the wind
and so my life begins

"Queen of the Highway" - The Doors

she was a princess / queen of the highway,
sign on the road says / take us to madre,
no-one could save her / save the blind tiger,
he was a monster / black, dressed in leather,
she was a princess / queen of the highway,

now they are wedded / she is a good girl,
naked as children / out in the meadow,
naked as children / wild as can be,
soon to have offspring / start it all over
start it all over

american boy / american girl,
most beautiful people / in the world,
son of a frontier / indian swirl,

dance a-though the midnight / whirlpool,
formless,
hope it can continue, a little while longer, come on...

Sid Vicious - My Way

And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
You ****, I'm not a queer
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
And each and every highway
And yet, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets; I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
But dig, what I have to do
I'll see it through with no devotion
Of that, take care and just
Be careful along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

There were times, I'm sure you knew
When there was but, but fucking else to do
But through it all, when there was doubt
I shot it up, or kicked it out
I faced the wall, and the fall
And did it my way

Knocked out in bed last night
I've had my fill, my share of looting
And now, the tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think, I killed a cat
And may I say, oh no, not their way
But no, oh no, not me
I did it my way

For what is a brat, what has he got
When he finds out that he cannot
Say the things he truly feels
But only the words, not what he feels
The record shows, I've got no clothes
And did it my way

Posting lyrics ain't my thing, but...

My vote for Best Song Lyrics, Cheesiest Song Lyrics, Cheesiest Song, Most Downright Embarassing Song If You Like It, and other awards like that would be WORDY RAPPINGHOOD by Tom Tom Club.

I mean, if you can keep a rap going about nothing but the qualities of words alongside an impressive background tune and one of the most sadistic scats EVER then you deserve ALL of those above awards. But don't take my word for it and listen to it, because your ears will melt and your face will go bright red...

... It DOES exist, I'm not kidding here...

It also ties with a more believable SECRET by OMD...

...and somewhere up there is the pretty random conversation of O Superman...

...etc, etc, etc...

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Love Burns

A truly great song

Never thought I'd see her go away
She learned I loved her today
Never thought I'd see her cry
And I learned how to love her today
Never thought I'd rather die
Then try to keep her by my side

Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me

Nothing else can hurt us now
No loss, our love's been hung on a cross
Nothing seems to make a sound
And now it's all so clear somehow
Nothing really matters now
Now we're gone and on our way

Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me

She cuts my skin and bruise my lips
She's everything to me
She tears my clothes and burns my eyes
She's all I want to see
She brings the cold and scars my soul
She's heaven sent to me

Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me

Never thought I'd leave you like the way I do, yeah
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone
Never thought I'd leave you like the way that I do
Kiss my love and I wish you're gone
You can kiss my love and I wish you're gone
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me
Now she's gone love burns inside me

You know I’m not dead
Now you know where I’ve been
As you sleep
Torn I am
Weighted down
Patiently
Born of love
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting
On the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And thru it all
Into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead
Found below
The creatures scream
Stranglehold
A God machine
Begging to
Tear us out
Worn as hope
You know I’m not dead I’m just the tears inside your head
Forever waiting
On the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And thru it all into us all you move
Forgotten touch
Forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I’m not dead

We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g.
The fickle fascination of an everlasting god
You know I’m not dead

I’m just living in my head
Forever waiting
Forever waiting on cruel death
You know I’m not dead
I’m just living for myself
Forever waiting
You know I’m not dead

('Everlasting Gaze'- Smashing Pumpkins)

A couple of my faves...

Todd Agnew, Still Here Waiting

It's cold outside
Or is that just the chill I feel inside from standing here
Steeping in my shame
I can't deny
I'm surrounded by the very thing You freed me from
That's why I can't come home

CHORUS
I don't know where I turned around
From chasing what I always found completed me
More than I could dream
I don't know why I can't remain
Safe here where I always came to meet with You
And You always met with me
And You're still here waiting

I fail to see
Why You'd still be waiting to forgive me
After all that I have done
But I cannot say
That one time I returned and You had turned away
Your love never fails

Chorus

You say, Come home and You'll be there
I can run into Your arms

Chorus


Extreme, Hole Hearted

Life's ambition occupies my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find

Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted

This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kept warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die

Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
Should have known from the start
I'd fall short with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted

TISM - Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me
Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does anyone else get that feeling?
Teenagers naked,
Couple in threes
Grandparents swing from the ceiling.

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Everyone else has had more sex than me.

Corporate chambers and office amore.
Shenanigans outdoor and in.
Resist and then later your find out there's more
Regret in not doing the sin.

Our lives have to die
Of that there's no help
My favourite way to end them
Is the orb-weaver spider's whose pedipalp
Enters the female pudendum.

Then dies on the spot
His corpse there still stuck,
Left for his rivals to curse at.
He would rather die than not get to f^ck
Personally I reckon it's worth it.

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does anyone else get that feeling?

Everyone else has had more sex than me.
Does everybody else get that feeling?

...

Does everyone think...

Cold Am I
I'm Beside Myself Because There's No One Else
Have I Grown So Blind Only God Could Save
You If You Knew Your Way To The Light
So Fly Away And Leave
It Behind Just Stay Awake There's Nowhere To Hide
I See You Cause You Won't Get Out Of My Way
I Hear You Cause You Won't Quit Screaming My Name
I Feel You Cause You Won't Stop Touching My Skin
I Need You There Coming To Take You Away

Frail And Dry I Could Lose It All But I Cannot Recall
It All Wrong Don't Cry Clear Away This Hate And We Can Start To Make It Alright
So Fly Away And Leave It Behind Return Someday With Red In Your Eyes
I See You Cause You Won't Get Out Of My Way
I Hear You Cause You Won't Quit Screaming My Name
I Feel You Cause You Won't Stop Touching My Skin
I Need You There Coming To Take You Away

Six more times sight in your eye, you think you're innocent, innocent
pull back and assess the skinned sky, to see your innocence, innocence

Use just once and destroy, searching for answers, you'll never employ
complete become your vision now, it's the same as I am

It's just true incest now, deceive your sins again you're innocent
reflect the hate in your eyes,
convex you're down, concave you're in again

Use just once and destroy, searching for answers,
you'll never employ, complete become your vision now,
it's the same as I am, just to see this love plan

Hit reset, reset, time and time again
hit reset, reset, time and time again

Sweat drenched hands, is it blood fuck who cares
I cannot help the joy I’m feeling
Hurting you, you're beautiful when you cry, if you love...
You'd understand the way, clever thoughts withstand
and sway against your pain, I can give a thing your way
To believe in, to believe in, your heart
I’m sorry for this now but I, have to hurt I have to kill you

also

Don't be sad keep smiling
Leave use open to communicate
Lying there on the desk you left a letter
When I touched it it shivered in my hand
I rub the surface to see your face in the mirror
Translation lost me in a crowded room
Leave exposed the wounded
Look down kids it starts to decompose
Looking for some meaning recognition
And your eyes are as black as my head and heart
I rub the surface to see your trace in the mirror
Translation lost me in a crowded room
If you want to believe everything you say
It keeps you high and in control
What I can't understand is why you'd want to
Give the impression of a young lost soul
In the end you'll lack a stance on important subjects that you've lost
It's like you're out of control
You turn round my head cracks
Like it's for the millionth time again
(Liberate the illiterate)
You wanted to jump half a canyon
I don't need a companion to it all
(Liberate the illiterate)
Liberate the illiterate
Liberate the illiterate
Liberate the illiterate
Liberate the illiterate

The Professionals - 1-2-3

You don't know if I'm a dork
And you don't care if I go to work
As long as I keep matching up and down
Up and down your playing field

What's the use of saying what you mean
Just watch yourself and keep your body clean
I know I've got a dirty face
I know I'm looking out of place
I know I've got mess on my shoes
What am I supposed to do

Well, it's one
I'm on the run, and it's two
I don't know what I've done
And it's three, you're telling me
I'm still a baby

What am I doing standing here
Training to be a Brigadier
You're telling me to be a man
Why can't you just understand

What's the use in saying what you mean
Just watch yourself and keep your body clean
I know I've got a dirty face
I know I'm looking out of place
I know I've got mess on my shoes
What am I supposed to do

Well, it's one
I'm on the run, and it's two
I don't know what I've done
And it's three, you're telling me
I'm still a baby, and it's one
I'm on the run, and it's two
I don't know what I've done
And it's three, you're telling me
I'm still a baby

Well, it's one
I'm on the run, and it's two
I don't know what I've done
And it's three, you're telling me
I'm still a baby, and it's one
I'm on the run, and it's two
I don't know what I've done
And it's three, you're telling me
I'm still a baby
