When You Are Old and Grey:

Since I still appreciate you,
Let's find love while we may.
Because I know I'll hate you
When you are old and grey.

So say you love me here and now,
I'll make the most of that.
Say you love and trust me,
For I know you'll disgust me
When you're old and getting fat.

An awful debility,
A lessened utility,
A loss of mobility
Is a strong possibility.
In all probability
I'll lose my virility
And you your fertility
And desirability,
And this liability
Of total sterility
Will lead to hostility
And a sense of futility,
So let's act with agility
While we still have facility,
For we'll soon reach senility
And lose the ability.

Your teeth will start to go, dear,
Your waist will start to spread.
In twenty years or so, dear,
I'll wish that you were dead.

I'll never love you then at all
The way I do today.
So please remember,
When I leave in December,
I told you so in May.

Bon Voyage:

CHORUS
Bon voyage, dear fellow,
Dear benefactor of your fellow man!
May good luck attend you.
Do come again and see us when you can.

VANDERDENDUR
Oh, but I'm bad. Oh, but I'm bad,
Playing such a very dirty trick on such a fine lad!
I'm a low cad, I'm a low cad,
Always when I do this sort of thing it makes me so
sad,
Ever so sad! Oh, but I'm bad! Ever so bad!

CHORUS
Bon voyage!
Bon voyage, we'll see ya.
Do have a jolly trip across the foam!
Santa Rosalia,
Do have a safe and pleasant journey home.
Bon voyage, bon voyage.

VANDERDENDUR
I'm so rich that my life is an utter bore;
There is just not a thing that I need.
My desires are as dry as an applecore,
And my only emotion is greed.
Which is why, though I've nothing to spend it for,
I have swindled this gold from Candide,
Poor Candide!

But I never would swindle the humble poor,
For you can't get a turnip to bleed.
When you swindle the rich you get so much more,
Which is why I have swindled Candide.
Oh dear, I fear
He's going down, he's going to drown!
Ah, poor Candide!

CHORUS
Bon voyage, dear stranger,
Hope that the crossing will not prove too grim.
You seem to be in danger,
But we expect that you know how to swim.

VANDERDENDUR
What a dumb goat, what a dumb goat,
Handing me a fortune for a perfect wreck of a boat.
Never did float, never did float.
This is going to make a most amusing anecdote.
Never did float, wreck of a boat. What a dumb goat!

ALL
Bon voyage!
Bon voyage, best wishes!
Seems to have been a bit of sabotage
Things don't look propitious,
Still from the heart we wish you
Bon voyage, dear fellow, bon voyage!

We all know this one:

La ran la le ra, la ran la la.
Largo al factotum della città!
La ran la la, ecc.

Miglior cuccagna

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me
Sign was painted, it said private property
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me

This is the last part of Hands Held High by Linkin park. Which I dare say is my favorite band.

With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

It reminds me of just giving up and letting things wash over you and making every peaceful. Which is a good contrast to the fighting the rest of the song sings about.

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping

Risk something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for

Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

Thats another part of the song and is more or less my motto.

Besides the song reminds me of last year before summer came and took everything away..

One more before I quit, Frontier Psychiatrist (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=U8BWBn26bX0) by The Avalanches, most random lyrics and video ever. Whether that means good or not is up to you to decide

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Sound of Slience by Simon & Garfunkel. And seeing what today is it kinda funny. :P

That's tough, because I really am more captured by the music and mood of a song than the particular lyrics. I'd have to say this:

His eyes they closed
and his last breath spoke
he had seen all to be seen
a life once full
now an empty vase
wilt the blossoms
on his early grave

walk away me boys
walk away me boys
and by morning we'll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what's left
of the flag for me
then the rosary beads
count them 1 2 3
fell apart as they hit the floor
in a garb of black
we must pay respect
to the color we were born to mourn
walk away me boys
walk away me boys
and by morning we'll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what's left
of the flag for me

In its place grew
an angry festered wound
full of hatered and remorse
where I pick and scratch
till the blood it matched
silent rage that now fills my lungs
for there are many ways
to kill a man they say
with bayonet, axe or sword
but son a bullet fired
from a shapeless guise
just put the shell of a Thompson gun

walk away me boy
walk away me boys
and by morning we'll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what's left
of the flag for me

from the east out to the western shore
where many men and many more will fall
but no angel flies with me tonight
though freedom reigns on all
and curse the name for which
we slaved our days
so every men chose Kingdom Come
But sure as night turns day
it's the passion play
oh my god
what have they done
with madman's rage
well they dug our graves
but the dead rise again you fools

walk away me boy
walk away me boys
and by morning we'll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what's left
of the flag for me

walk away me boy
walk away me boys
and by morning we'll be free
wipe that golden tear
from your mother dear
and raise what's left
of the flag for me

Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.

(Chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Won't you do this for me son,
If you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

(Chorus)

Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

A couple of verses from It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) - if you can guess the musician, epic fail.

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the President of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.

Advertising signs that con you
Into thinking you're the one
That can do what's never been done
That can win what's never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you.

You loose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand without nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you.

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to.

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to.

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despite their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something
They invest in.

While some on principles baptized
To strict party platforms ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God Bless him.

Old lady judges, watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony.

While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer's pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death's honesty
Won't fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes
Must get lonely.

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed graveyards
False gods, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough
What else can you show me ?

And if my thought-dreams could been seen
They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only.

Title is pretty forward. I want you to post you favorite lyrics, whether it be a chorus, a part or the whole thing. However, to avoid this from being a merely cut/past spam thingamabob, I want you to also post WHY you like those lyrics so much.

My favorite lyrics are the lyrics to "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)" by W.A.S.P. Not because they speak to me or anything like that, but because I am a pervert and they are goddamn hilarious.

I got pictures of naked ladies
Lying on their beds
I whiff that smell and sweet convulsion
Starts a-swelling inside my head
I'm making artificial lovers for free
I start to howl I'm in heat
I moan and growl and the hunt drives me crazy
I fuck like a beast!

I come round, round I come, feel your love
Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
I come round, round I come, feel your love
Tie you down, down I come, steal your love

I'm on the prowl and I watch you closely
I lie waiting for you
I'm the wolf with the sheepskin's clothing
I lick my chops and you're tasting good
I do whatever I want to, to ya!
I'll nail your ass to the sheets
A pelvic thrust and the sweat starts to sting ya
I fuck like a beast!

I come round, round I come, feel your love
Tie you down, down I come, steal your love
I come round, round I come, feel your love
Tie you down, down I come, steal your love

Come ride, savage seduction
Ride, ride, ride! AHAHAHAHA

(Guitar solo)

ANIMAL!

One of my other favorites: "A Girl Named Sandoz" by the Animals (and covered by the Smashing Pumpkins) Why? It's even more goddamn hilarious.

Well I met a girl called Sandoz
And she taught me many, many things
Good things, very good things
Sweet things

I met her one sunny morning
It was hot but the snow lay on the ground
Strange things, very strange things
My mind has wings

(random violins on this part)
Sandoz, Sandoz who taught me love
Sandoz, Sandoz heavens above
They could all learn something from your mind
Yeah baby

She is very old
You may think she's young
One kiss from her
And you know your time has come

Good times, for all times
Sandoz
Sandoz
Sandoz

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom
Mine's on the 45
-Brimful of Asha by Cornershop

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
-Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd

If you let them fuck you, there will be no foreplay
-Make Yourself by Incubus

I must look like I'm running away
To you at your faster pace
I wonder what it is you could have seen in me.
I'm the evil one who said.
Gonna let everything just happen
Just like my chest, my ears are proud
The collision is such an ugly sound.
- Let It Happen by Jimmy Eat World

There will be an answer. Let it be.
-Let It Be by The Beatles

Trampled Rose, by Tom Waits. So much melancholy and sadness in such a beautifully simple song:

I know this rose
Like I know my name
The one I gave my love
It was the same
Now I find it in the street, a trampled rose

Good Day, by Amanda Palmer. It's another song which does a fantastic job of expressing how the character feels at the end of a relationship:

I picked up the pieces of my broken ego
I have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
But I'd love to have you up to see the place
I'd like to do more than survive I'd like to rub it in your face

Homophobia, by Chumbawamba. The chorus is simple, stark, and accurate. The verses are also fantastic, but I'm not typing up the whole thing:

Homophobia
The worst disease
You can't love who you want to love in times like these

And many others, but those are some of the first that came to mind. There's definitely some Nick Cave, some more Tom Waits (particularly "Gun Street Girl"), more Amanda Palmer/Dresden Dolls, probably some Beirut, etc.

I have a few friends who are ardent vegetarians, so these songs are always good to annoy them...

From the song "Dinner is Ready" by the CNK

Flesh is good, meat is good, smells good
And plumps when you cook it
Meat makes you glad you're at the top
Of the food chain
So you can enjoy it

And from the song "Singing Burgers with Attitude" by the Ultimate Army of Prawns

You know, people are always looking down upon us,
Because many animals die
To become the meat inside of us
But its like, I mean, what can an animal do?
I mean, can they talk, can they say jokes?
Can they do funny things like me?
No they can't, so I guess its a worthwhile sacrifice
Thank you

Chorus
Do you have beef with us, cos we've got beef with ourselves

I have a few friends who are ardent vegetarians, so these songs are always good to annoy them...

This is a good choice too...Beef and Broccoli by Immortal Technique:

Look, let me make something abundantly clear for people
that are so bereft of activities
they feel like they gotta comment on every one of mine
First of all, being a vegetarian should never be associated
with being a revolutionary or being open minded, that's a dietary choice
If someone wants to proliferate the type of ignorance
we're supposed to be fighting by thinking that, you're just fucking yourself
I don't go around promoting beef and poultry shoving it in peoples faces
I don't castigate people for not eating steak sandwiches
And I would never diss someone for being a fucking broccoli head
or living off radishes or eating grass with tofu
I like a lot of vegan cuisine but the illogicality
of expecting everyone to adopt your particular idea
of what being healthy is, is just preposterous
I've seen some of you herbivores, and if you wanna argue health
y'all need to eat some kind of supplement
because some of y'all are so skinny that it's disgusting
Lookin like the only hip hop motherfuckas on Schindler's list
Being a malnutrition ass got nothing to do
with being revolutionary or being on point
I'll be damned if I let somebody else push their agenda on me
You know, I don't eat pork, not cause I'm a Muslim
I just don't really like it, but I really will fuck a bird up
And fish is good when that shit is fresh
It's like my nigga Vast Aire from Can' Ox said
If you don't like the smell of burning meat, then get the fuck off the planet
You know, I don't criticize people for eating moss
And don't open your fuckin mouth about my food man
I like beef and broccoli motherfucka, mind your God damn business
Matter of fact, you know what? I'm out
I feel like a some aronco pollo, a banana daiquiri
and a motherfuckin bistelpanado

I'm pretty fond of Dave Matthew's "Crash Into Me" for lyrics.

"You've got your ball, you've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws in you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again.
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock and sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you

Oh, and you come crash into me
And I come into you,
And I come into you.
In a boy's dream,
In a boy's dream

Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy, for you.

Oh, and you come crash into me, baby -
and I come into you.
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

And if I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you to forgive me, oh,
in my haste, when I'm holding you so, girl,
close to me.

Oh and you come crash into me, yeah
Baby, and I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

Oh, I watch you there
Through the window, and I stare at you.
You wear nothing, but you wear it so well
Tied up and twisted, the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me, baby
Come crash into me, yeah

Crash into me...
Crash into me...
Crash into me...

You know, I'm the king of the castle,
And you're the dirty rascal, crash into me.
Please crash into me, baby...

Oh, no no no...
Yes,
I see the wave come and crash into me.
I See the wave come and crash into me.
Crash into me."

We all know this one:

La ran la le ra, la ran la la... -snip-

This aria makes me happy.

My favorites, from a pretty diverse selection of music

Lupe Fiasco, The Cool

Not at all nervous as he dug to the surface
Tarnished gold chain is what he loosened up the earth with
He used his mouth as a shovel to try and hollow it
and when he couldn't dirt spit, swallowed it
Working like a... hmm... reverse archaeolohost
Except... his buried treasure was sunshine
So when some shined through a whole that he had drove
it reflected off the gold and nearly made son blind
He grabbed onto some grass, he climbed
Pulled himself up out of his own grave and looked at the time
On the watch that had stopped six months after the shots
That had got him in the box wringing Henny out his socks
Figured it was hours because he wasn't older
Used some flowers to brush the dirt up of his shoulders, so..
With a right hand that was all bones and no reason to stay
Decided to walk home

Eric Bogle, Green Fields of France (No Man's Land)

The sun's shining down on these green fields of France
The warm wind blows gently, and the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now.
But here in this graveyard that's still No Man's Land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation who were butchered and damned.

O Sole Mio

Che bella cosa e'na giornata 'e sole
n'aria serena doppona tempesta!
Pe' ll'aria frescapare già na festa
Che bella cosa e' na giornata 'e sole

Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole,
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!

Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne,
me vene quase 'na malincunia;
sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne.

Ma n'atu sole,
cchiù bello, oje ne'
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
'O sole,
'O sole mio
sta 'nfronte a te!
sta 'nfronte a te!

My favorite lyrics are the lyrics to "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)" by W.A.S.P

Fuckin' yes.

Watain - I am the Earth

He lives through me
All of what I am
The needle of hamartia
Injected in the flesh of man
With the soul of a carrion
Sleeping, yet awake
For underneath this skin
Crawls eden's cursed snake

Hic est draco caudam suam devorans!

You may have felt it's cold
Carressing down your spine
Gently yet with strength
And with a morbid touch
For its real shape is a razor
Smeared with the Devil's seed
And infected with it's plauge
Are the scars from which I bleed

I am the earth
Chained to horns
Its ground is my flesh
Pierced by Holy thorns
I am the earth
Burning deep within
It's water is my blood
Blackened by my sins

Swallowed by His mystery
Lots within it's maze
The bridges behind they burn
from the pyres of Hell's grace
One after another
The stars fade into black
He has called my name
There is no way back...

Pierced by His will
Trapped within His lair
My flesh shall be the sign
Of that fires are to fear
For those who walk upon me
Shall be punished for their turns
I am the earth
And within me the Devil burns!

I am the earth
In the shadow of the Lord
A crucifix of flesh
Yet sinfully adored
I am the earth
As your life with me does blend
I am His truth
The world without end...

The world without end.

Dissection - The Somberlain

I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone
I could feel the dark embrace my soul
Agony was no more, and so was pain
At this point of solitude I knew I was there
There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my souls infinity
It has been a journey far beyond mortality
I have found what I wanted, tranquillity
I'll thrive on evil, eternally

I flew over crystal ground
My existence, numb
Over orchards of grievance,
sorrow and tears
This beautiful silence
calls me now
Black fog devours me but I can see it all
The monument of my past,
this land of seven horizons before my eyes
I reach the land of spiritual rest

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain

Lord of infernal, gather my strength
Carry me through the gates

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain

For Im eternal night
- Im the Somberlain
Precede my evil divine domain

Iron Maiden - Two Minutes to Midnight

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
To Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers."
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Im not putting up one of my favorites, because Im pretty sure it will offend some people. The song is by Marduk, its called Christraping Black Metal. Look it up if you feel so inclined.

"The Green Man" - Martin Donnelly

The Easter Sun, it cuts my eyes
Open to the wind and rain
All around the earth breathes deep
I come alive again
I am the Green Man of the woods
The wounded and the broken land
I am the fire in the Red Stag's eye
The touch of a lover's hand (Of a lover's hand)

Oh let me speak, lend me your tongue
To sing the trees and streams
Sing the dark blood of the hills
The moon on goose's wings
I am the Green Man of the woods
The wounded and the broken land
I am the fire in the Red Stag's eye
The touch of a lover's hand (Of a lover's hand)

Oh if you meet me in the fields
Don't ye be alarmed
I come to bring you joy
I'll do you no harm
Let us dance beneath the stars
The pale moon in our eyes
And celebrate the mysterious
That keeps us all alive (Keeps us all alive)

I am the Green Man of the woods
The thistle and the corn
The spark in every creature's heart
The dancer in the storm

I am the Green Man of the Woods
The thistle and the corn
The spark in every creature's heart
The dancer in the storm (the dancer in the storm)
The pagan imagery appeals to me and my desire to dance naked in hostile weather, but it is also a very mature song about what has been lost. It is almost enough to make me into a hippy ... almost.

The chorus of "God Hates us All" by Slayer which is:

GOD HATES US ALL, GOD HATES US ALL!!!!

It rings true.

Good choice. Have you heard Rasputina's cover?

Any band is hard-pressed to do a good cover of Floyd. Look at what Korn did to Another Brick In The Wall. Travesty. And of course, never mind the fact that the whole album is a story, everyone ignores that for The Happiest Days of our Lives and Another Brick in the Wall Pt2. Or Comfortably Numb. No one ever gives it the recognition it deserves as a whole, just bits and pieces that are pretty good. Okay, okay...[/rant]

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Theres too much confusion
I cant get no relief

Song:All Along the Watchtower
Sung by: Bob Dylan/Jimi Hendrix

I just really like the lines. Brings up the visions of being trapped, living in a world where things are confusing, do stress you out and such.

Of all the Slayer songs, you pick that one?

EDIT: Its Disciple by the way.

South of Heaven

An unforseen future nestled somewhere in time.
Unsuspecting victims no warnings, no signs.
Judgment day the second coming arrives.
Before you see the light you must die.

Forgotten children, conform a new faith,
Avidity and lust controlled by hate.
(The) Never ending search for your shattered sanity,
Souls of Damnation in their own reality.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive habitat.

Bastard sons begat your cunting daughters,
Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers.
Engreat souls condemned for all eternity,
Obtained by immoral observance a domineering deity.

Chaos rampant,
An age of distrust.
Confrontations.
Impulsive sabbath.

On and on, south of heaven

I could fill a thread, but will restrain myself.

Aimee Mann, "Humpty Dumpty":

Say you were split, you were split in fragments
and none of the pieces would talk to you
Wouldn't you want to be who you had been
well, baby I want that, too

So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

Baby you're great, you've been more than patient
saying it's not a catastrophe
but I'm not the girl you once put your faith in
just someone who looks like me

So better take the keys and drive forever
Staying won't put these futures back together
All the perfect drugs and superheroes
wouldn't be enough to bring me up to zero

REASON: Aimee Mann is one of the great lyricists of our time and I simply love the rhyme structure of this part of the song. I also can't be healed by all the perfect drugs and superheros.

Jane's Addiction, "Pigs in Zen":

Pig's in the mud
When he tires
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen
Pig is nude
Unashamed
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen

Talkin bout the pig
The pig
The pig - uh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pig
Goddamned pig

Pig mounts sow
When he's wound
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen
Pig eats shit
But only when he hungers
Pig's in zen
Pig's in zen

Talkin bout the pig
The pig
The pig - uh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pig
Goddamned pig

Oh, I know about war
But I just wanna fuck
I know about pain and suffering and being cold
But I just wanna fuck

The pig is led to the slaughter
Pig is led to the slaughter
This he says
Is the price some pay
For a simple life
How he feels
Thats proof for him
Pig's in zen

Talkin bout the pig
The pig
The pig
The pig
The pig
The pig
Goddamned pig
The pig - uh
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pig

REASON: Do you consider this a critique or praise of Zen, animals, etc? Regardless, it hits the gut.

Camper Van Beethoven, "Eye of Fatima, Pt. 1":

And this here's a government experiment
and we're driving like Hell.
To give some cowboys some acid and to stay in motels
....

And I am the Eye of Fatima
on the wall of the motel room.
And cowboys on acid are like Egyptian cartoons.

REASON: "This here is a government experiment" .... Gotta love it. Especially if you come from cowboy country.

The Pogues, "Dark Streets of London" (my signature):

And every time that I look on the first day of summer
Takes me back to the place where they gave ECT
And the drugged up psychos
With death in their eyes
And how all of this really
Means nothing to me

REASON: I love the Pogues. I love this song. And I spent some time in a place where they gave ECT and lived with the drugged up psychos. Relative to that, all of this really means nothing to me.

EDIT: I quoted no Tom Waits, because how do you choose among his many great lines?

Holt Boulevard
Between Gary and White
Hooked up with some friends at the Travelodge
Set ourselves up for the night
Carpenter ants in the dresser
Flies in the screen
It will be too late by the time we learn
What these cryptic symbols mean

And I dreamt of a house
Haunted by all you tweakers with your hands out
And the headstones climbed up the hills
And the headstones climbed up the hills

The Mountain Goats, Palmcorder Yajna

Probably my favorite song by this band, but it's a reeeeally tough choice. The whole album is about meth addiction and friends who if you don't hear from them for a few months just might be dead and the fucked up things we do to ourselves to avoid dealing with the fact that life is sometimes really not okay.

They have so many other great lyrics, but they are too many to post, and you really have to hear John's voice singing them to get the full impact.

And this is the last time we'll be friends again
I'll get over you, you'll wonder who I am
And there's this burning
Just like there's always been
I've never been so alone, alone, and I've
I've never been so alive

Third Eye Blind, Motorcycle Drive-By. Probably my favorite song ever, and the hell with anyone who tries to front on it. Reminds me of someone I loved and lost a long time ago, for which I am probably better off, but this song always makes me a little wistful--makes me realize I'll never be able to entirely forget them, that part of me will always love a part of them.

I go home, to the coast, it starts to rain
I paddle out on the water, alone
Taste the salt and taste the pain,
I'm not thinking of you again...

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
Vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
The soul can wait

Well it is still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

But if it's still pretty wet
With all these leaks
We'll be fine, oh...
And supervise

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
And you vanish with no guile
And I will not pay
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

And oh you try..
You tried.. straight into my heart
You fly.. straight into my heart
Girl, I know you try...
You fly.. straight into my heart
You fly.. straight into my heart
But here comes the fall

So much for make believe, I'm not sold
So much of pain's deceit, I'm not prepared to know
Your heart makes me feel
Your heart makes me bold
For always and ever
I'll never let go
Always concealed
Safe and inside -- alive

Show me the dirt pile
And I will pray that the soul can take
Three stowaways
In a passion it broke
I pull the black from the grey
But the soul can wait
I felt you so much today

Bummer by Harry Chapin

His mama was a midnight woman
His daddy was a drifter drummer
One night they put it together
Nine months later came the little black bummer

He was a laid back lump in the cradle
Chewing the paint chips that fell from the ceiling
Whenever he cried he got a fist in his face
So he learned not to show his feelings

He was a pig-tail puller in grammer school
Left back twice by the seventh grade
Sniffing glue in Junior High
And the first one in school to get laid

A weed-speed pusher at fifteen
He was mainlining skag a year later
He'd started pimping when they put him away
In jail he changed from a junkie to a hater

And just like the man from the precinct said:
"Put him away, you better kill him instead.
A bummer like that is better of dead
Someday they're gonna have to put a bullet in his head."

They threw him back on the street, he robbed an A & P
He didn't blink at the buddy that he shafted
And just about the time they would have caught him too
He had the damn good fortune to get drafted

He was A-One bait for Vietnam,
you see they needed more bodies in a hurry
He was a cinch to train cause all they had to do
Was to figure how to funnel his fury

They put him in a tank near the DMZ
To catch the gooks slipping over the border
They said his mission was to Search and Destroy
And for once he followed and order

One sweat-soaked day in the Yung-Po Valley
With the ground still steaming from the rain
There was a bloody little battle that didn't mean nothing
Except to the few that remained

You see a couple hundred slants had trapped the other five tanks
And had started to pick off the crews
When he came on the scene and it really did seem
This is why he'd paid those dues

It was something like a butcher going berserk
Or a sane man acting like a fool
Or the bravest thing that a man had ever done
Or a madman blowing his cool

Well he came on through like a knife through butter
Or a scythe sweeping through the grass
Or to say it like the man would have said it himself:
"Just a big black bastard kicking ass!"

And just like the man from the precinct said:
"Put him away, you better kill him instead.
A bummer like that is better of dead
Someday they're gonna have to put a bullet in his head."

When it was over and the smoke had cleared
There were a lot of VC bodies in the mud
And when the rescued men came over for the very first time
They found him smiling as he lay in his blood

They picked up the pieces and they stitched him back together
He pulled through though they thought he was a goner
And it force them to give him what they said they would
Six purple hearts and the Medal of Honor

Of course he slouched as the chief white honkey said:
"Service beyond the call of duty"
But the first soft thought was passing through his mind
"My medal is a Mother of a beauty!"

He got a couple of jobs with the ribbon on his chest
And though he tried he really couldn't do 'em
There was only a couple of things that he was really trained for
And he found himself drifting back to 'em

Just about the time he was ready to break
The VA stopped sending him his checks
Just a matter of time 'cause there was no doubt
About what he was going to do next

It ended up one night in a grocery store
Gun in hand and nine cops at the door
And when his last battle was over
He lay crumpled and broken on the floor

And just like the man from the precinct said:
"Put him away, you better kill him instead.
A bummer like that is better of dead
Someday they're gonna have to put a bullet in his head."

Well he'd breathed his last, but ten minutes past
Before they dared to enter the place
And when they flipped his riddled body over they found
His second smile frozen on his face

They found his gun where he'd thrown it
There was something else clenched in his fist
And when they pried his fingers open they found the Medal of Honor
And the Sergeant said: "Where in the hell he get this?"

There was a stew about burying him in Arlington
So they shipped him in box to Fayette
And they kind of stashed him in a grave in the county plot
The kind we remember to forget

And just like the man from the precinct said:
"Put him away, you better kill him instead.
A bummer like that is better of dead
Someday they're gonna have to put a bullet in his head."

Harry Chapin is best remembered for the poignant reversal fable "Cat's In The Cradle", and perhaps a few others. His songs are stories, and his best stories are not only when he's in the mood to tell them, but angry as well. This piece is, dated language and all (1976), a frank and gripping portrayal of what can happen to marginalized elements of society, and the irony of a career criminal being an ideal soldier.

The song haunted me at age nine, and it does to this day.

When I am gone from here"

She whispers "please remember me,
But, not with tears.

Remember I was always true.

Remember that I always tried.

Remember I loved only you.

Remember me and smile...

For it's better to forget, than to remember me and cry"".

Why? Because it's my living will. If you can't remember me and smile, please, forget me.

for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me

Save your fears
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall.

Here you sit on your high-backed chair
Wonder how the view is from there
I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor
If you like we could play a game
Let's pretend that we are the same
But you will have to look much closer
Than you do, closer than you do

And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore
And I don't care what you think anyway
'Cause I think you were wrong about me
Yeah what if you were, what if you were

And what if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
What if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep

I know you've got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred about you, maybe about you
I'm the end of your telescope
I don't change just to suit your vision
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my hands

And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free
And put your hands over both your ears
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not
The perfect girl you thought
Well what have I got to lose

And what if I'm a weeping willow
Laughing tears upon my pillow
What if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone
What if I'm a toothless leopard
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd
What if I'm an angel without wings to take me home

You don't know me
Never will, never will
I'm outside your picture frame
And the glass is breaking now
You can't see me
Never will, never will
If you're never gonna see

What if I'm a crowded desert
Too much pain with little pleasure
What if I'm the nicest place you never want to go
What if I don't know who I am
Will that keep us both from trying
To find out and when you have
Be sure to let me know

What if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
What if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep
Sleep...
Sleep...

Can I have your autograph?
he said to the fat blond actress
You know, I've seen every movie you've been in
from "Pass of Pain" to "Duels of Glory"
And when you kissed Robert Mitchum
Gee, but I thought you'd never catch him
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me

Can I have your autograph?
he said to the fat blond actress
You know, I know everything you've done
Anyway, I hate divorces
To the left is a marble shower
It was fun even for an hour, but
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me

Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what
Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what
It's the beginning of a new age...

New Age by the Velvet Underground

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

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And 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

The midday moon filled with peace showed tears in the sweet melody of the rain
I continue painting with my torn off finger, the sun's dream which I started to forget
Like a sprouting flower
The wind gathers my body in the earth's bow
I laugh softly... burned above withered leaves
Another me is staring

dare no koe mo todokanai nara watashi ga subete keshiteageyou

If no one's voice reaches me, then I will erase everything for you (2)
Over and over again you repeated the same mistakes and now continue trembling in sadness

An unmoving hand of time in my heart touched the never fading thoughts (3)
The dream flooded in gentle sunlight vanished into the blanched night sky
The rain is my tears,
As I can't express my sadness... charmed by the moon's sigh
I know that I've lost time... there is meaning in death
My voice won't reach you

The last words which you gave me
Even now continue to weep here
Having decided not to grieve, the tears of the moon in the night sky flow in my heart
Night has yet to take you away

toketa sora o egakinagara iro no nai keshiki ga tsubuyaita
oboeteiru kinoo sae mo ima wa subete modoranu tsumi

While painting in the melted sky, the colorless scenery whispered
Now it is a sin where nothing, not even the past which I still remember, will return

yakitsukusu hikari no nami ni sarawareta anata ga hohoemikakeru
tooku ni mieru yasuragi ni afureta anata no namae o

Swept away on burning waves of light, you smile at me
Seeing you in the distance, overflowing with peace
I continue crying out your name
No one can blame you any more

anata no ato o furueru yubi de shizuka ni fureru yume kara samete
nando mo onaji ayamachi o kurikaeshita kanashimi ni furuetsuzukeru
sayonara wa mada ima wa ienai kara

I awaken from the dream where I quietly touch your scars with trembling fingers
Over and over again you repeated the same mistakes and now continue trembling in sadness
I can't say goodbye just yet
I slowly continued praying into the hushed sky

yasashii koe de
furueru koe de

With a gentle voice
With a trembling voice
I continued praying...

Well, Frankie Lee and Judas Priest,
They were the best of friends.
So when Frankie Lee needed money one day,
Judas quickly pulled out a roll of tens
And placed them on a footstool
Just above the plotted plain,
Sayin', "Take your pick, Frankie Boy,
My loss will be your gain."
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat right down
And put his fingers to his chin,
But with the cold eyes of Judas on him,
His head began to spin.
"Would ya please not stare at me like that," he said,
"It's just my foolish pride,
But sometimes a man must be alone
And this is no place to hide."
Well, Judas, he just winked and said,
"All right, I'll leave you here,
But you'd better hurry up and choose
Which of those bills you want,
Before they all disappear."
"I'm gonna start my pickin' right now,
Just tell me where you'll be."
Judas pointed down the road
And said, "Eternity!"
"Eternity?" said Frankie Lee,
With a voice as cold as ice.
"That's right," said Judas Priest, "Eternity,
Though you might call it 'Paradise.'"
"I don't call it anything,"
Said Frankie Lee with a smile.
"All right," said Judas Priest,
"I'll see you after a while."
Well, Frankie Lee, he sat back down,
Feelin' low and mean,
When just then a passing stranger
Burst upon the scene,
Saying, "Are you Frankie Lee, the gambler,
Whose father is deceased?
Well, if you are,
There's a fellow callin' you down the road
And they say his name is Priest."
"Oh, yes, he is my friend,"
Said Frankie Lee in fright,
"I do recall him very well,
In fact, he just left my sight."
"Yes, that's the one," said the stranger,
As quiet as a mouse,
"Well, my message is, he's down the road,
Stranded in a house."
Well, Frankie Lee, he panicked,
He dropped ev'rything and ran
Until he came up to the spot
Where Judas Priest did stand.
"What kind of house is this," he said,
"Where I have come to roam?"
"It's not a house," said Judas Priest,
"It's not a house . . . it's a home."
Well, Frankie Lee, he trembled,
He soon lost all control
Over ev'rything which he had made
While the mission bells did toll.
He just stood there staring
At that big house as bright as any sun,
With four and twenty windows
And a woman's face in ev'ry one.
Well, up the stairs ran Frankie Lee
With a soulful, bounding leap,
And, foaming at the mouth,
He began to make his midnight creep.
For sixteen nights and days he raved,
But on the seventeenth he burst
Into the arms of Judas Priest,
Which is where he died of thirst.
No one tried to say a thing
When they took him out in jest,
Except, of course, the little neighbor boy
Who carried him to rest.
And he just walked along, alone,
With his guilt so well concealed,
And muttered underneath his breath,
"Nothing is revealed."
Well, the moral of the story,
The moral of this song,
Is simply that one should never be
Where one does not belong.
So when you see your neighbor carryin' somethin',
Help him with his load,
And don't go mistaking Paradise
For that home across the road.

Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

chorus

I have been ready at your hand,
To grant whatever you would crave,
I have both wagered life and land,
Your love and good-will for to have.

chorus

If you intend thus to disdain,
It does the more enrapture me,
And even so, I still remain
A lover in captivity.

chorus

My men were clothed all in green,
And they did ever wait on thee;
All this was gallant to be seen,
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

chorus

Thou couldst desire no earthly thing,
but still thou hadst it readily.
Thy music still to play and sing;
And yet thou wouldst not love me.

chorus

Well, I will pray to God on high,
that thou my constancy mayst see,
And that yet once before I die,
Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.

chorus

Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu,
To God I pray to prosper thee,
For I am still thy lover true,
Come once again and love me.

What?

Truly Blessed

"For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)"

We roll tonight to the guitar bite

Stand up and be counted for what you are about to receive
We are the dealers
We'll give you everything you need
Hail hail to the good times
Cos rock has got the right of way
We ain't no legends ain't no cause
We're just livin' for today
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you

We rock at dawn on the front line
Like a bolt right outta the blue
The skies alight with a guitar bite
Heads will roll and rock tonight
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you, yes we do
For those about to rock, we salute you
Salute

We're just a battery for hire with the guitar fire
Ready and aimed at you
Pick up your balls and load up your cannon
For a twenty one gun salute
For those about to rock
Fire
We salute you
For those about to rock
We salute you
For those about to rock
Fire
We salute you
Fire
We salute you

We salute you, c'mon
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
For those about to rock, we salute you
Shoot, shoot
Shoot, shoot
For those who give
For those who take
Those left high
And those on the make
We salute you
We salute you
We salute you

Why do I like the lyric so much? Something about trying to combine artillery and Hard Rock. You should not need a reason to rock!

If shame had a face
I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home
would it be my eyes?
would you believe me
If I said I'm tired of this?
well here we go now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low
I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe I tried to beat this

When will this end?
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

I never thought I'd end up here
I never thought I'd be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought
It would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong
Now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low
I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this

When will this end?
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this

Sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle, yeah
Sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle, yeah

When will this end?
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Till i step down from this for good

When will this end?
It goes on and on
And over and over and over again
Keep spinning around
I know that it won't stop
Till I step down from this for good

Sick Cycle Carousel- Lifehouse

Why do I like this song? It basically speaks of the way I've been feeling, romantically-wise, for the past 2weeks or so.

Title is pretty forward. I want you to post you favorite lyrics, whether it be a chorus, a part or the whole thing. However, to avoid this from being a merely cut/past spam thingamabob, I want you to also post WHY you like those lyrics so much.

Just a reminder. Although people have been posting some great lyrics, the second part of the OP request has been forgotten. :wink:

Counters with crass: (http://www.last.fm/music/Crass/_/Sentiment)

Feathers burn so easily, the cat is blinded in the garden
Last vision the lark is flame
The cattle shed gives off the smell of sunday kitchen
The gentle eye, the dispensable perfection
Before the flash takes two weeks food
Pile the sacks of earth and hide
All of us here know it, we grew it
Fighting amongst ourselves, leaving bits of flesh on barbed wire
A little blood on the floor
Locks and bars across the door
Well versed in violation
Our children beat each other in the garden
Our failure to accept the earth, we talk of love but push it to the edge
Push it to the edge
This is no natural aggression composing death
I am afraid for beauty when I see the fist
The perfect hand that turns against itself
The perfect hand that holds a gun or wields a butcher's blade
Or leads to death
Leads to death the used-up bull or incarcerates the hopeless fool
Or takes the forest with a single flame
Leaves the next an empty shell
Human kind condemns the hunting beast
Yet their own choice leaves behind such ragged meat
The military dream of blood
Their sweet wine flowing in the veins of men
Who work towards our bloody end
They fly Enola gaily, give birth to this waiting...waiting
Give us the reality of our hatred, give the earth nothing
Melting, goats dead on the green, dying lambs bleating by the wire
Three last days on the earth, I lay down to die in the grass

note: crass is bullshit as is the ALF but I'll be dammed if thats not a haunting song

All righty, then
Picture this, if you will

10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi, DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes
In my need-to-know pose, just outside of Area 51
Contemplating the whole "Chosen People" thingy
But just then, a flaming stealth banana split the sky
Like one would hope but never really expect
To see in a place like this
Cutting right angle donuts on a dime
And stopping right at my Birkenstocks
And me yelping
"Holy f***ing shit"

Then the X-Files being
Looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan
With Isabella Rossellini lips
And breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa
Did a slow-mo Matrix descent
Outta the butt end of the banana vessel
And hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw
And my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip
And all I could think was:
"I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice
That I pissed my f***in' pants"

So light in his way
Like an apparition
He had me crying out
"F*** me
It's gotta be
The Deadhead chemistry
The blotter got right on top of me
Got me seein' E.-motherf***in'-T."

And after calming me down
With some orange slices
And some fetal spooning
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose
He said, "You are the Chosen One
The one who will deliver the message
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
And a warning for those who do not"
Me, the Chosen One?
They chose me
And I didn't even graduate from f***in' high school

You'd better
You'd better
You'd better
You'd better listen

Then he looked right through me
With somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is surreal
Like the time Dave floated away
See, my heart is pounding
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now

It was surreal
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story
And can anyone tell me why
Y'all sound like Peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is surreal
Finally, it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing
'Cause this shit never happens to me

I can't breathe right now

You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I've just said
See the Dead ain't touring
And this wasn't all in my head
See, they took me by the hand
And invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin

Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

Hey

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the One
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see

But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again
Typical

Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help, I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

I can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be the hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me
Can't remember what they said

We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know
We don't know, and we won't know

God damn, shit the bed

"Rosetta Stoned" by Tool

It's not the lyrics I like so much as the instrumental accompaniment (especially Adam Jones' guitar), but they sure gave me an idea of how scary alien abduction is.

Trouble comin' every day by Frank Zappa. Written in 1965 and yet still as relevant today as it was back then.

Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friend
Is anybody's guess

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Wednesday I watched the riot . . .
Seen the cops out on the street
Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff
And chokin' in the heat
Listened to reports
About the whisky passin' 'round
Seen the smoke and fire
And the market burnin' down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash and bash and crash
And slash and bust and burn

And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Well, you can cool it,
You can heat it . . .
'Cause, baby, I don't need it . . .
Take your TV tube and eat it
'N all that phony stuff on sports
'N all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head begin to hurt
From checkin' out the way
The newsman say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so

And further they assert
That any show they'll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They will be the first to tell,
Because the boys they got downtown
Are workin' hard and doin' swell,
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can't be beat

And if another woman driver
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a brownie
And you'll see it all complete

So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day

Hey, you know something people?
I'm not black
But there's a whole lots a times
I wish I could say I'm not white

Well, I seen the fires burnin'
And the local people turnin'
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em
And they say it served 'em right
Because a few of them are white,
And it's the same across the nation
Black and white discrimination
Yellin' "You can't understand me!"
'N all that other jazz they hand me
In the papers and TV and
All that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more every day
Each time you hear some asshole say
He wants to go and do you in
Cause the color of your skin
Just don't appeal to him
No matter if it's black or white
Because he's out for blood tonight

You know we got to sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I bet there won't be many living
To see it really end
'Cause the fire in the street
Ain't like the fire in the heart
And in the eyes of all these people
Don't you know that this could start
On any street
in any town
In any state
if any clown
Decides that now's the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree
There ain't no Great Society
As it applies to you and me
Our country isn't free
And the law refuses to see
If all that you can ever be
Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store
You know that five in every four
Just won't amount to nothin' more
watching the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor

Blow your harmonica, son!

Seriously, people. Put a little frigging effort into it.

And since everyone's posted like 25 times and NO ONE has posted rap yet, I've obviously got to crash the party with some E-40:

Ooh. Jesus Christ had dreads, so shake em
I ain't got none, but I'm planning on growing some
Imagine all the Hebrews going dumb
Dancing on top of chariots and turning tight ones (eeerrrrr!)

The moon is full, look at the dark clouds
Sitting in my scraper, watching Oakland Gone Wild... Ta-dow
I don't bump mainstream, I knock underground
All that other shit, sugar-coated and watered down
I'm from the Bay where we hyphy and go dumb
From the soil where them rappers be getting their lingo from

That is a NorCal-ass video, lemme tell ya. Gets ya right here.

Fuckin' yes.

Watain - I am the Earth

He lives through me
All of what I am
The needle of hamartia
Injected in the flesh of man
With the soul of a carrion
Sleeping, yet awake
For underneath this skin
Crawls eden's cursed snake

Hic est draco caudam suam devorans!

You may have felt it's cold
Carressing down your spine
Gently yet with strength
And with a morbid touch
For its real shape is a razor
Smeared with the Devil's seed
And infected with it's plauge
Are the scars from which I bleed

I am the earth
Chained to horns
Its ground is my flesh
Pierced by Holy thorns
I am the earth
Burning deep within
It's water is my blood
Blackened by my sins

Swallowed by His mystery
Lots within it's maze
The bridges behind they burn
from the pyres of Hell's grace
One after another
The stars fade into black
He has called my name
There is no way back...

Pierced by His will
Trapped within His lair
My flesh shall be the sign
Of that fires are to fear
For those who walk upon me
Shall be punished for their turns
I am the earth
And within me the Devil burns!

I am the earth
In the shadow of the Lord
A crucifix of flesh
Yet sinfully adored
I am the earth
As your life with me does blend
I am His truth
The world without end...

The world without end.

Dissection - The Somberlain

I fell deeper and deeper as light now was gone
I could feel the dark embrace my soul
Agony was no more, and so was pain
At this point of solitude I knew I was there
There where I belong
Thus far a long journey through my souls infinity
It has been a journey far beyond mortality
I have found what I wanted, tranquillity
I'll thrive on evil, eternally

I flew over crystal ground
My existence, numb
Over orchards of grievance,
sorrow and tears
This beautiful silence
calls me now
Black fog devours me but I can see it all
The monument of my past,
this land of seven horizons before my eyes
I reach the land of spiritual rest

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain

Lord of infernal, gather my strength
Carry me through the gates

Its the dawn of descending
- I am the Somberlain
down to evil divine domain

For Im eternal night
- Im the Somberlain
Precede my evil divine domain

Iron Maiden - Two Minutes to Midnight

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
To Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers."
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

Im not putting up one of my favorites, because Im pretty sure it will offend some people. The song is by Marduk, its called Christraping Black Metal. Look it up if you feel so inclined.

I know, right? Hilarious. Also, nice lyrics.

There are many.

Two of my favourite refrains:

Kárpátia - Neveket akarok hallani
Mert a bûn az csak bûn marad, kezükhöz vér tapad.
Istentõl, embertõl ne várjon irgalmat.
Ezernyi áldozat most sírjából felmutat.
Gyilkos és áruló szent földben nem nyughat!

Kárpátia - I want to hear names
For crimes remain crimes, there's blood on their hands.
Neither from God nor from man should they expect mercy.
Now thousands of victims are pointing from their graves.
Murderers and traitors may not rest in holy ground!

The song's about the '56 revolution of Hungary and especially its aftermath. Though the sacral wording may sound cheesy, it's one powerful song, good as it is.

Eluveitie - Slanias Song
A ulati, mon atron,
A brogi'm cumbrogon!
Exs tou' uradiu uorrobirt
Cenetlon clouision
Cauaron caleton

A blatu blande bitos biuon!
A ‚m' atriia, a ‚ma helvetia!

Eluveitie - Slania's Song
Oh Sovereignty of my fathers
Oh land of my countrymen!
From your root sprang
A glorious nation
Of dure heroes.

Oh dulcet blossom of the living world!
Oh my fatherland, oh my Helvetia!

Part of that is in my signature.

Talcahuano Girls- as done by Bert Lloyd
Lyrics
Oh, I've been a sea-cook and I've been a clipperman,
I can sing, I can dance, I can walk the jib-boom.
I can handle a harpoon and cut a fine figure
Whenever I get in a boat's standing room.

Chorus (after each verse):
And we'll rant and we'll roar like trueborn young whalermen,
We'll rant and we'll roar on deck or below,
Until we see bottom inside the two sinkers,
And straight up the channel to Huasco we'll go.

I was in Talcahuano last year in a whaler.
I bought some gold brooches for the girls in the Bay.
I bought me a pipe and they called it a meerscum,
And it melted like butter on a hot shiny day.

I went to a dance one night in old Tumbez,
There was plenty of girls there as fine as you'd wish.
There was one pretty maiden a-chewing tobacco,
Just like a young kitten a-chewing fresh fish.

Here's a health to the girls of old Talcahuano,
A health to the maidens of far-off Maui.
And let you be merry, don't be melancholy;
I can't marry youse all or in chokey I'd be.

Meshuggah Spasm lyrics

Stroboscopic contortion-assault.
Light bulb language translated into fits
Codes of tendon-flickers I can't grasp.
Focus lost as I writhe and twitch
Random beats of blinding shockwaves.
Erratic suns that twist my eyes.

It's about having stroke, and thus its some of the best ike thesaurus use if you know what I mean.

You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking.
Racing around, to come up behind you again.

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older.
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

Time Pink Floyd

Those lines ring louder the older you get.

What the..?

I was going to post these lyrics and someone did in the first reply!!!!

But yeah, not only do they sound good but, it's true, they pierce an old fart like me.

Mudvayne
"Mercy, Severity"
From the album The End of All Things to Come

We've come here, from so far away
I can save you, if you leave it all behind
This suffering's been far too long
Would you take a trip with me on the back of a star?
I feel like Earth's gravity is just here to pull us down

Mother of creation wait
Embrace the souls of a lost world
Carry them away
Darkness...negative...receptive
Pour firmament between our waters
Separate the space
Mother of destruction wait
With a belt of skulls, strap me down
And send the ship away
Progress with the process
Mine the souls from their casts
Pour, form, and reshape

This dark womb
Wraps and covets me
Redefining understanding
If you open up the heart
Nurturing, this phenomenon
We can carry you on our wings
Our wings through the dark

Lightning flashes of insight
Into the mirth of a dark sky
Pain of division is nothing
Joy of dissolution is everything

Mother of creation wait
Embrace the souls of a lost world
Carry them away
Darkness...negative...receptive
Pour firmament between our waters
Separate the space
Mother of destruction wait
With a belt of skulls, strap me down
And send the ship away
Progress with the process
Mine the souls from their casts
Pour, form, and reshape

Portal sits deep within the eye
The eye of Yin's severity rewards understanding
Portal sits deep within the eye
The eye of Yin's severity rewards understanding

Blackness consumes
Body, comforts, core of nothing
Blackness consumes
Body, comforts, core of nothing

Mother, I can remember
A vault of security
Can you take me away?
Would you take me away?
Won't you take me away?
...away

Mother of creation wait
Embrace the souls of a lost world
Carry them away
Darkness...negative...receptive
Pour firmament between our waters
Separate the space
Mother of destruction wait
With a belt of skulls, strap me down
And send the ship away
Progress with the process
Mine the souls from their casts
Pour, form, and reshape

I dig that one because it's from a concept album, each song corresponds to a sign of the Zodiac, and that's the Aquarius song.

Another...

In Flames
"Lord Hypnos"
From the album The Jester Race

I lie in your soothing arms, Lord Hypnos
Your garment alive with your song
I lie in your soothing arms, Lord Hypnos

Steep the spiral to your far abode
In the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
And fell like history, through the chasm of ages
Into the charged, forbidden zones

How I have searched
Through a million worlds and faces
Yet unaware, I have not found my own true face
Traceless and profound

So find me in these grandiose halls
Where long ago summers eternally fall
And tune the strings of truthful longing
To the frozen music of gods

Hypnagogia's lucid horizons
Play with the yearning I've quelled
As I strike towards the Pantheon
And what therein is held

I lie in your soothing arms, Lord Hypnos
Your garment alive with your song
I lie in your soothing arms, Lord Hypnos

Steep the spiral to your far abode
In the wake of slumber, on visions I rode
And fell like history, through the chasm of ages
Into the charged, forbidden zones

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olRhjegLEOc

As much as I dig the lyrics, which remind me of dreams that one forgets the details of upon waking, it's the guitar that really makes the song.

Mr. Spock - Nerf Herder

You want a guy who can bring the bacon,
and you want a guy with savoir-faire.
Somebody who can take control of it,
someone with cool black shiny hair.

Yeah, you don't want a boyfriend.
What you want is Mr. Spock,
to come to your wasteland,
and destroy the robot.
Something more than human,
someone with blood that's cold and green.
You want something better than me.

Captain Kirk, went to the planet,
and there he fought the man lizard.
He saved the ship, invented the gun powder,
but that's just not good enough for you, is it?

No, you don't want a boyfriend.
what you want is Mr. Spock,
to come to your wasteland,
and destroy the robot.
Something more than human,
someone with blood that's cold and green.
You want something better than me.

You sit all night at your computer,
drinking diet Dr pepper,
looking for an answer to it all.
Say the words, say the words,
say say say the words.

You don't want a boyfriend.
What you want is Mr. Spock,
to come to your wasteland,
and destroy the robot.
Something more than human,
someone with blood that's cold and green.
You want something better than me...

You Do Your Thing - Montgomery Gentry

Put me on a mountain, way back in the backwoods
Put me on a lake with a big 'un on the line
Put me 'round a campfire cookin' something I just cleaned
You do your thing, I'll do mine

I ain't tradin' in my family's safety
Just to save a little gas
And I'll pray to God any place, any time
And you can bet I'll pick up the phone if Uncle Sam calls me up
You do your thing, I'll do mine

Hey, I'll worry about me
You just worry about you
And I'll believe what I believe
And you can believe what you believe too

I ain't gonna spare the rod
Cuz that ain't what my daddy did
And I sure know the difference between wrong and right
You know, to me it's all just common sense
A broken rule, a consequence
You do your thing, I'll do mine

Hey, I'll worry about me
You just worry about you
And I'll believe what I believe
And you can believe what you believe too

I'm gonna keep on working hard
Make my money the old-fashioned way
I don't wanna piece of someone else's pie
I don't wanna piece of nobody else's pie
If I don't get my fill on life I ain't gonna blame no one but me
You do your thing, I'll do mine

You ain't gonna be my judge
Cuz my judge will judge us all one day
You do your thing, I'll do mine

MARCH OF CAMBREADTH - Heather Alexander

Axes flash, broadswords swing
Shining armors’ piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield
Fight those bastards ‘til they yield

Midnight mare, blood red roan
Fight to keep this land your own
Sound the horn and call the cry
How many of them can we make die?

Follow orders as you’re told
Make their yellow blood run cold
Fight until you die or drop
A force like ours is hard to stop

Close your mind to stress and pain
Fight ‘til you’re no longer sane
Let not one damn cur pass by
How many of them can we make die?

Guard your women and children well
Send these bastards back to Hell
We’ll teach them the ways of war
And they won’t come here anymore

Use your shield and use your head
Fight ‘til everyone is dead
Raise the flag up to the sky
How many of them can we make die?

Dawn has broke, the time has come
Move your feet to the marching drum
We’ll win the war and pay the toll
Fight as one in heart and soul

Midnight mare and blood red roan
Fight to keep this land your own
Sound the horn and call the cry
How many of them can we make die?

Axes flash, broadswords swing
Shining armors’ piercing ring
Horses run with polished shield
Fight those bastards ‘til they yield

Midnight mare and blood red roan
Fight to keep this land your own
Sound the horn and call the cry
How many of them can we make die?

The first is a favorite because it's rare(for me anyways)to find a song that manages to encapsulate almost everything that's important to you in the space of about 3 minutes. The second one is a favorite because I'm not much for Celtic, folk-y, Renaissance fair, kind of music and that song is the ass-kicking exception that proves the rule.

I've always been a big fan of the final verse of The River by Bruce Springsteen:

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown company
But lately there ain't been much work on acoount of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well, mister they vanished right into the air
Now I act like I don't remember
Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Your body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Ot is it something worse

In fond memory of Andaras:

The court is the gauge
That determines my wage;
The parson looks after my soul.
My hands are my boss's --
His gains are my losses --
He's fat on the blood on the coal.
But through muck and mire
And lung-dust and fire
More clearly I'm seeing my goal
Of digging and drilling
And blasting and filling
Supplying the so-cial-ised coal!

Final verse of "Man of the Earth". I heard it sung first at a union concert. Purest IWW romanticism from Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl.

Our town wasn't on their tour itinerary. They came anyway to help the miners' union. Damn, they were good.

EDIT: Nah, it was Phyl Lobl. Must have been as a supporting act for Seeger and MacColl.

J. Karjalainen-On Kaikki Niinkuin Ennenkin

Oli aika kuuma kesä tää
Nyt on jo vähän viileempää
Tulee paljon omenaa, kohta mehua taas saa
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin
Vielä lienee lammet paikoillaan
Täytyis vissiin lähtä katsomaan
Yhden vanhan virvelin aamulla mä putsasin
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin
Eräs leikkii traktoreillaan
Se tykkää niistä aina vaan
Minä laulujani teen, putoo riimit paikoilleen
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin
Keväällä jälleen lähdetään
tämä Suomi kiertämään
Ehkä mennään Turkkuseen, kaadetaan viinaa kurkkuseen
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin
Mä tykkään tästä juuri näin
Soitella kanssa ystäväin
San Francisco kuuskytyhdeksän, äkkiä kaiken ymmärrän
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin
Pilvet on kuin laivoja
Ne taivaanrannassa odottaa
Kerran kotiin minut vie tämä röpelöinen tie
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin
Lasissa viini vähenee
vaikka pyydän: "Älä mee"
No, vielä toiset ostetaan, sulle malja nostetaan
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin
No, vielä toiset ostetaan, sulle malja nostetaan
On kaikki niin kuin ennenkin

Why this? Because J. Karjalainen is one of the few good Finnish bands. Well, actually three bands: J. Karjalainen ja Mustat Lasit(J. Karjalainen and The Black Glasses), J. Karjalainen Yhtyeineen(J. Karjalainen and his Band) and J. Karjalainen Electric Sauna.

I like this song because its so relaxing and the words are so beautiful it lulls me to sleep. It makes me dream of the person that can tell me all the things the song talks about in my ear, late at night, craddling me as I softly fall into a deep sleep.

'Joseph Stalin' by Down I Go

Your grain's our grain. Your land's our land. Must adhere to the five year plan.
Industrialisation is required to compete with the modern world.
(Currency not required, live off exchange of goods)
Collectivisation is our new way of life.
(Currency not required, live off exchange of goods)
You must cooperate!
(Enemy of the state!)

Glory to Stalin the Great!

Sentenced by NKVD Troikas.
Enemy of The Russian People. Sent to work:
Tortured in gulag camps. Enemy of The Russian People.
Invented plot to frame the Trotskyite traitors.
Executed; made to disappear.
Proof of innocence means nothing when guilt is arbitrary.
It's not stealing. We're all starving.
All freedom, drowning in your river of blood.

Hush dissenting grain hoarders!

Two songs speak to me with more power and poetry than any other I've heard.
The first is the Muppets "Mahna Mahna" song:
Mahna mahna
(ba dee bedebe)
mahna mahna
(ba debe dee)
mahna mahna
(ba dee bedebe badebe badebe dee dee de-de de-de-de)

mah mama na mahna mah namwomp mwomp
ma mo mo mana mo
mahna mahna
(ba dee bedebe)
mahna mahna
(ba debe dee)
Mahna Mahna!
(ba dee bedebe bedebe badebe debe de-de de-de-de)

...mahna mahna?

It speaks to me on so many levels.

The 2nd is by the Swedish Chef:

Yorn desh born, der ritt de gitt der gue,
Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn
bork! bork! bork!

how true. How so very very true. I try to live my life to those lyrics. If we all did, what a much nicer world this would be.

Pure Metal

23-01-2009, 18:29

my current favourite song. the lyrics are pretty cool, largely for the way they're sung, if not for what they say. especially love the bit in bold...

So God damn easy to write this
you make it spill on the page
So drunk on yourself, self-righteous
A laughing stock on your own fucking stage

Oh but I ain't going to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me

This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me

Just one time you got a reason
But you had nothing to lose
A bad preacher for the
pin-eyed congregation
It must be easy to loathe

Oh but I ain't going to call names
Or throw stones in a house of glass
You try me

This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
You try me

You can tell the same lie a thousand times
But it never gets any more true
So close your eyes once more
and once more believe
That they all still believe in you

Just one time
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
The only one you could ever need
This is a motherfuckin' invitation
Just one time

This is a motherfuckin' invitation
Ya' try me

Just one time(ya' try me)
Just one time(ya' try me)

Ya' try me

Well, now, I've got some
Advice for you liitle buddy.
Before you point the finger
You should know that
I'm the Man

And if I'm the Man,
Then you're the Man,
And he's the Man as well,
So you can point that fuckin' finger
Up your ass.

"Walk Through The Fire" from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical episode:

Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar):
I touch the fire, and it freezes me.
I look into it, and it’s black.
Why can’t I feel? My skin should crack and peel.
I want the fire back.

Now, through the smoke, she calls to me.
To make my way across the flame.
To save the day, or maybe melt away.
I guess it’s all the same.

So I will walk through the fire.
’Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire
And let it…

Spike (James Marsters):
The torch I bear is scorching me
And Buffy’s laughing, I’ve no doubt.
I hope she fries, I’m free if that bitch dies.
I'd better help her out.

Sweet (Hinton battle):
’Cause she is drawn to the fire.
Some people never learn.

Spike:
She will never learn.

Spike and Sweet
And she will walk through the fire
And let it…

Giles (Anthony Stewart Head)
Will this do a thing to change her?
Am I leaving Dawn in danger?
Is my Slayer too far gone to care?

Xander (Nicholas Brendon)
What if Buffy can’t defeat it?

Anya (Emma Caulfield)
Beady eyes is right, we’re needed!
Or we could just sit around and glare.

All
We’ll see it through.
It’s what we’re always here to do.
So we will walk through the fire.

Buffy:
So one by one, they turn from me.
I guess my friends can’t face the cold.

Tara (Amber Benson):
What can't we face

Buffy:
But while I froze, not one among them knows.

Tara:
If we're together?

Buffy:
And never can be told.

Anya/Sweet:
She came from the grave much graver/So one by one

Spike/Sweet
First, he’ll kill her, then I’ll save her/They come to me

Tara/Sweet
Everything is turning out so dark/The distant redness as their guide

Buffy:
Going through the motions.

Spike/Sweet
No, I’ll save her, then I’ll kill her!/But what they'll find

Willow (Alyson Hannigan)/Sweet
I think this line is mostly filler./Ain't what they have in mind

Giles/Sweet
What’s it going to take to strike a spark?/It's what they have inside

Buffy/Sweet
These endless days are finally ending in a blaze./She will come to me!

All:
And we are caught in the fire.
The point of no return.
So we will walk through the fire.
And let it burn!
Let it burn!
Let it burn!
Let it burn!

Why do I love this song? Well, for one, Joss Whedon wrote it, and I seem to have an irrational love for everything that man creates. But the lyrics are also very good, along with the visuals from the episode. And who knew the cast were such good singers?

From earlier in the same episode, Tara's epic love song to Willow.

Backstory of the two, Willow and Tara are not only witches, they are arguably the most famous lesbian couple in television history.

I lived my life in shadow.
Never the sun on my face.
It didn’t seem so sad, though
I figured that was my place.
Now I’m bathed in light
Something just isn’t right.

I’m under your spell.
How else could it be,
Anyone would notice me?
It’s magic, I can tell.
How you set me free.
Brought me out so easily.

I saw a world enchanted,
Spirits and charms in the air.
I always took for granted
I was the only one there.
But your power shone
Brighter than any I’ve known.

I’m under your spell,
Nothing I can do.
You just took my soul with you.
You worked your charm so well.
Finally, I knew
Everything I dreamed was true.
You made me believe.

The moon to the tide,
I can feel you inside.
I’m under your spell,
Surging like the sea.
Pulled to you so helplessly.
I break with every swell,
Lost in ecstasy.
Spread beneath my Willow tree.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
You make me—

you're something beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

you will be the death of me
you will be the death of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted

now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
you'd never dream of
breaking this fixation

you will squeeze the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out

you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this?
ooooohh

you will suck the life out of me

bury it

Say hello to the rug's topography
It holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it
Say hello to the shrinking in your head
You can't see it but you know its there so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need pharmacy keys
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to all the apples on the ground
They were once in your eyes but you sneezed them out while sleeping
Say hello to everything you've left behind
It's even more a part of your life now that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white
She's got everything I need some pills in a little cup
She's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

She's got everything I need pharmacy keys
She acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Say hello to the rug's topography

Led to the river midsummer, I wave
A "V" of black swans on, with hope, to the grave
And through red September, with skies fire-paved
I begged you appear like a thorn for the holy ones

Cold was my soul and untold was the pain
I faced when you left me a rose in the rain
So I swore to the razor that never enchained
Would your dark nails of faith be pushed through my veins again

Bared on your tomb, I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon come above unto me?
For once upon a time, from the binds of your lowliness
I could always find the right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolors all with tunnel vision
(Sunsetter) Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampiric addiction
To her alone in full submission
(None better) Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

Wracked with your charm, I'm circled like prey
Back in the forest where whispers persuade
More sugar trails, more white lady laid
Than pillars of salt

Fall to my arms, hold their mesmeric sway
And dance out to the moon as we did in those golden days

Christening stars, I remember the way
We were needle and spoon, mislaid in the burning hay

Bared on your tomb, I'm a prayer for your loneliness
And would you ever soon come above unto me?
For once upon a time, from the bind of your holiness
I could always find the right slot for your sacred key

Six feet deep is the incision
In my heart, that barless prison
Discolors all with tunnel vision
(Sunsetter) Nymphetamine
Sick and weak from my condition
This lust, this vampiric addiction
To her alone in full submission
(None better) Nymphetamine

(Sunsetter) Nymphetamine
(None better) Nymphetamine

Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
Nymphetamine girl
Nymphetamine, nymphetamine
My nymphetamine girl

There's a song by The Cure... but I'm sure you all know it.

Currently its The Curse of Millhaven:

I live in a town called Millhaven
And it's small and it's mean and it's cold
But if you come around just as the sun goes down
You can watch the whole town turn to gold
It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming
Singing "La la la la La la la lie"
All God's children they all gotta die

My name is Loretta but I prefer Lottie
I'm closing in on my fifteenth year
And if you think you have seen a pair of eyes more green
Then you sure didn't see them around here
My hair is yellow and I'm always a-combing
La la la la La la la lie
Mama often told me we all got to die

You must have heard about The Curse Of Millhaven
How last Christmas Bill Blake's little boy didn't come home
They found him next week in One Mile Creek
His head bashed in and his pockets full of stones
Well, just imagine all the wailing and moaning
La la la la La la la lie
Even little Billy Blake's boy, he had to die

Then Professor O'Rye from Millhaven High
Found nailed to his door his prize-winning terrier
Then next day the old fool brought little Biko to school
And we all had to watch as he buried her
His eulogy to Biko had all the tears a-flowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even God's little creatures, they have to die

Our little town fell into a state of shock
A lot of people were saying things that made little sense
Then the next thing you know the head of Handyman Joe
Was found in the fountain of the Mayor's residence
Foul play can really get a small town going
La la la la La la la lie
Even God's children all have to die

Then, in a cruel twist of fate, old Mrs Colgate
Was stabbed but the job was not complete
The last thing she said before the cops pronounced her dead
Was, "My killer is Loretta and she lives across the street!"
Twenty cops burst through my door without even phoning
La la la la La la la lie
The young ones, the old ones, they all gotta die

Yes, it is I, Lottie. The Curse Of Millhaven
I've struck horror in the heart of this town
Like my eyes ain't green and my hair ain't yellow
It's more like the other way around
I gotta pretty little mouth underneath all the foaming
La la la la La la la lie
Sooner or later we all gotta die

Since I was no bigger than a weavil they've been saying I
was evil
That if bad was a boot that I'd fit it
That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard lately
Oh, fuck it! I'm a monster! I admit it!
It makes me so mad my blood really starts a-going
La la la la La la la lie
Mama always told me that we all gotta die

Yeah, I drowned the Blakey kid, stabbed Mrs. Colgate, I admit
Did the handyman with his circular saw in his garden shed
But I never crucified little Biko, that was
two junior high school psychos
Stinky Bohoon and his friend with the pumpkin-sized head
I'll sing to the lot, now you got me going
La la la la La la la lie
All God's children have all gotta die

There were all the others, all our sisters and brothers
You assumed were accidents, best forgotten
Recall the children who broke through the ice on Lake Tahoo?
Everyone assumed the Warning signs had
followed them to the bottom
Well, they're underneath the house where I do quite a bit
of stowing
La la la la La la la lie
Even twenty little children, they had to die

And the fire of '91 that razed the Bella Vista slum
There was the biggest shit-fight this country's ever seen
Insurance companies ruined, land lords getting sued
All cause of wee girl with a can of gasoline
Those flames really roared when the wind started blowing
La la la la La la la lie
Rich man, poor man, all got to die

Well I confessed to all these crimes and they put me on
trial
I was laughing when they took me away
Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah
It ain't home, but you know, it's fucking better than jail
It ain't such bad old place to have a home in
La la la la La la la lie
All God's children they all gotta die

Now I got shrinks that will not rest with their endless
Rorschach tests
I keep telling them they're out to get me
They ask me if I feel remorse and I answer, "Why of course!
There is so much more I could have done if they'd let me!"
So it's Rorschach and Prozac and everything is groovy
Singing La la la la La la la lie
All God's children they all have to die

La la la la La la la lie
I'm happy as a lark and everything is fine

It's a dark song and I've been feeling dark for a very long time. Beyond that, just the way the words come out it -sounds- very clever to me, but that could have less to do with the lyrics than the actual way it's sung. In any case, I'm loving this song, currently.

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When men on the chessboard
get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the doormouse said..
"Feed your Head
Feed your Head!"

One of my favourite songs. Jefferson Airplane - "White Rabbit" :)

Standing on the beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the arab on the ground
I can see his open mouth
But I hear no sound

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

I can turn
And walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

I feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
The dead man on the beach

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

"Highly Specific" by Cire

I'll save a hole for you to crawl into when you wake up to see,
this great deceit you bought into.
Your face will melt, and soon you'll be consumed.

(chorus)
We've got highly specific information, feed it to your congregation.
Shine it up and you know they will buy it.
They can fund all the death while we profit.
It's highly specific information...
Solved the crime before it even happened...
Had the war plans all laid out and waiting for you to take the bait.

A smoke screen that could be seen from space...
Mouth's agape, tears on our faces, we all fell down to our knees,
"Protect us from our enemies."

One day if we've a voice to speak,
we'll say we just could not have seen,
so grave a threat could be inside the minds of our self-appointed kings.

(chorus)

A smoke screen that could be seen from space...
Mouth's agape, tears on our faces, we all fell down to our knees,
"Protect us from our enemies."

Never underestimate what this gang can orchestrate.
Never underestimate what they'll do to dominate.

The traveler is always leaving town
He never has the time to turn around
And if the road he's taken isn't leading anywhere
He seems to be completely unaware

The traveler is always leaving home
The only kind of life he's ever known
When every moment seems to be
A race against the time
There's always one more mountain left to climb

Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are

The traveler awaits the morning tide
He doesn't know what's on the other side
But something deep inside of him
Keeps telling him to go
He hasn't found a reason to say no

The traveler is only passing through
He cannot understand your point of view
Abandoning reality, unsure of what he'll find
The traveler in me is close behind

Days are numbers
Watch the stars
We can only see so far
Someday, you'll know where you are
Remember
Days are numbers
Count the stars
We can only go so far
One day, you'll know where you are
One day, you'll know where you are

English Translation:
Connecting points to points
Drawing lines with my finger
I came down this road... or is it my destination?

Line to line, we link together
Before long, everyone becomes one and arrives at the sea
So I'm not scared

Many rivers flow
Together with the names that we were given
I was told by reason
To just accept everything
But that's not necessary to do
Our pain, now.. begins to fly away
(that's why, that's why I chose you)

The sound of swords colliding
There is no sword entrusted with understanding
Who can be protected with such contradiction?

Often shapes alter
You swoop down in front of me
Searching today..
Is like accepting just anywhere
It's not necessary to do that
Like myself, everyone is gifted with a sword

Occasionally, the river changes
Without anything
Together with the names that we were given
To just accept everything
But that's not necessary to do
In the sea breeze, now, birds begin to fly

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again

The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they were all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?

Yeah!

There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Quello che non siamo (Francesco Guccini)

La vedi nel cielo quell' alta pressione,
la senti una strana stagione?
Ma a notte la nebbia ti dice d' un fiato
che il dio dell' inverno è arrivato.
Lo senti un aereo che porta lontano?
Lo senti quel suono di un piano,
di un Mozart stonato che prova e riprova,
ma il senso del vero non trova?

Lo senti il perchè di cortili bagnati,
di auto a morire nei prati,
la pallida linea di vecchie ferite,
di lettere ormai non spedite?
Lo vedi il rumore di favole spente?
Lo sai che non siamo più niente?
Non siamo un aereo né un piano stonato,
stagione, cortile od un prato...

Conosci l' odore di strade deserte
che portano a vecchie scoperte,
e a nafta, telai, ciminiere corrose,
a periferie misteriose,
e a rotaie implacabili per nessun dove,
a letti, a brandine, ad alcove?
Lo sai che colore han le nuvole basse
e i sedili di un' ex terza classe?

L' angoscia che dà una pianura infinita?
Hai voglia di me e della vita,
di un giorno qualunque, di una sponda brulla?
Lo sai che non siamo più nulla?
Non siamo una strada né malinconia,
un treno o una periferia,
non siamo scoperta né sponda sfiorita,
non siamo né un giorno né vita...

Non siamo la polvere di un angolo tetro,
né un sasso tirato in un vetro,
lo schiocco del sole in un campo di grano,
non siamo, non siamo, non siamo...
Si fa a strisce il cielo e quell' alta pressione
è un film di seconda visione,
è l' urlo di sempre che dice pian piano:
"Non siamo, non siamo, non siamo..."

I'll attempt a translation.

Do you see the high pressure in the sky,
Do you feel a strange season?
But at night the fog tells you in a rush
That the god of Winder has come.
Do you hear a plane carrying people away,
Do you hear that sound of a piano
of a Mozart played wrong and trying,
but not able to find a meaning?

Do you hear the reason of wet courtyards,
of cars dying in the fields,
the pale line of old wounds,
of letters that have never been sent?
Do you see the noise of dead fairytales,
Do you know we're nothing anymore?
We're not a plane, nor a piano,
season, courtyard, field...

Do you know the smell of desert roads
leading to old discoveries,
to naphtha, chassises, rusted chimneys,
to mysterious suburbs,
and to relentless rails leading to nowhere,
to beds, couches, alcoves?
Do you know the colour of low clouds,
of the seats of a former-third-class railcar?

The angst an infinite plain gives?
You want me and life,
a common day and a flowerless shore?
Do you know we're nothing anymore?
We aren't road nor melancholy,
a train nor a suburb,
we're not discover nor shore,
we're not day nor life...

We're not dust in a gloomy corner,
not the crack of the sun over a grain field,
nor a stone thrown in a window
we're not, we're not, we're not...
Stripes of clouds in the sky, and that high pressure
Is just an old movie featured again,
It's everydays yell telling slowly
"We're not, we're not, we're not".

It's difficult to translate. It's a song about melancholy, expressed through oxymorons and metaphors.

Seek ye to invoke the Lord of Dreams, to know His divine will via the dreamscape, to have power over His minions, to unlock the secrets of the deep?
Enscribe ye the great seals 'neath the horned moon, when the black stars of the chaosphere spin in trine, prepare ye a supplicant, and offer up olibanum, storax, dictamnus, opium and the incense of Zkauba, in the shadow of the sacred trilithon that overlooks the endless sea...
"O' Thou that lieth dead but ever dreameth... Hear me, Lord of Dreams!
The Deep Ones knoweth Thy secret name, the Hydra knoweth Thy lair...
Dagon shall break Thy accursed bonds, and Thy kingdom shall rise once more."
Rise o' spawn of Chaos and elder night.
With these words (and by the sign of Kish), I summon Thee.
Slumbering serpent, primal and serene,
Great Old One, hearken to me!
When the stars align in the Chaosphere, then the time of awakening shall be at hand!
"When death dies, Thy time shall be, and Thou shalt sleep no more..."
"Hear me, Lord of Dreams," "Hear, Thy servant calleth Thee."
In Thy tower they have sealed ye, dead yet ever dreaming.
O' great Lord of the Deep, awaken from Thy deathly sleep.
And there fell a great star from the heavens burning,
Older than the Sphinx or Babylon.
O' Mighty One, Lord and Master of the great abyss!
"Give forth Thy sign that I may know Thy will upon the earth..."
"Grant me the power to still the waves that I may hear Thy call."
"In His house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."
"Yet He shall rise, and His kingdom shall cover the earth!"

Shackled To The Trilithon of Kutulu - Bal-Sagoth.

I'll post one more song for teh lululz.

Cold days
Old ways
Told lies
No more

So many years to clean the slate
Endless despair within its wake
His touch soiling what used to be clean
His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams

Cold days
Cold days

And again he rides in
It's September and he covets the gullible
Skeletal wish
Hunter
A thousand lies cast from the throne of secrecy

Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies
See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
The insect trust
Believer
our body a vehicle to him just the same

Pearls before swine they are nothing but blind
Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn
Invisible king
Dying
Procession of woe struck down by sorrow

A burden so great weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs
The swift solution crumbles beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece
Death in his eyes
Waiting
Spiralling judgement provoked in the rains

Futile test drowned in the levee of deception
His futile test drowned in the levee of deception

In the year of his sovereign
Rid us of your judgement
Heir apparent

Heir Apparent - Opeth.

Rush - New World Man

Hes a rebel and a runner
Hes a signal turning green
Hes a restless young romantic
Wants to run the big machine

Hes got a problem with his poisons
But you know hell find a cure
Hes cleaning up his systems
To keep his nature pure

Learning to match the beat of the old world man
Learning to catch the heat of the third world man

Hes got to make his own mistakes
And learn to mend the mess he makes
Hes old enough to know whats right
But young enough not to choose it
Hes noble enough to win the world
But weak enough to lose it ---
Hes a new world man...

Hes a radio receiver
Tuned to factories and farms
Hes a writer and arranger
And a young boy bearing arms

Hes got a problem with his power
With weapons on patrol
Hes got to walk a fine line
And keep his self-control

Trying to save the day for the old world man
Trying to pave the way for the third world man

Hes not concerned with yesterday
He knows constant change is here today
Hes noble enough to know whats right
But weak enough not to choose it
Hes wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it ---

It is kind of how I feel these days.

Im kicking myself for not posting this earlier. Favorite lyrics of all time

QUEENSRŸCHE-Speak
They've given me a mission
I don't really know the game yet
I'm bent on submission
Religion is to blame
I'm the new messiah
Death Angel with a gun
Dangerous in my silence
Deadly to my cause

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of us

I've given my life to become what I am
To preach the new beginning
To make you understand
To reach some point of order
Utopia in mind, you've got to learn
To sacrifice, to leave what's now behind

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word
The word is all of us
Speak the word
The word is all of us

Seven years of power
The corporation claw
The rich control the government, the media the law
To make some kind of difference
Then everyone must know
Eradicate the fascists, revolution will grow

The system we learn says we're equal under law
But the streets are reality, the weak and poor will fall
Let's tip the power balance and tear down their crown
Educate the masses, We'll burn the White House down

Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak to me the pain you feel
Speak the word (Revolution)
The word is all of us
Speak the word (Revolution)
The word is all of us
Speak the word
The word is all of us
Speak the Word
The word is all of us

SPEAK!!!

Something has left my life
And I don't know where it went to
Somebody caused me strife
And it's not what I was seeking.
Didn't you see me, didn't you hear me
Didn't you see me standing there
Why did you turn out the lights
Did you know that I was sleeping
Say a prayer for me
Help me to feel the strength I did
My identity has been taken
Is my heart breaking on me
All my plans fell though my hands
They fell
Though my hands on me
All my dreams, it suddenly seems
Empty

Empty- The Cranberries

Wow, I feel this way just now.

You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you've got real balls

They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go

Title: Five For Fighting - 100 Years lyrics

Artist: Five For Fighting Lyrics

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by
Suddenly you�re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Is anyone here prepared to say
Just what they mean or is it too late?
For anyone here to try to do
Just what it takes to get through to you

So let's all make believe
That we're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe
In the end we gonna need each other

Strangle my hope and make me pray
To a god I've never seen but who I betray
To the people who live the afterlife
And the place I'll never be 'til I'm crucified

So let's all make believe
We're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe
In the end we'll need each other
Let's all make believe
That all mankind's gonna feed our brother
Let's all make believe
That in the end we won't grow old

So let's all make believe
We're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe
In the end we'll need each other
Let's all make believe
That all mankind's gonna feed our brother
Let's all make believe
That in the end we won't grow old

Go up to your brother,
Kill him with your gun,
Leave him dying in his uniform,
Dying in the suuun"

No seré yo quien te despierte cada mañana
como un chiquillo pegando gritos frente a tu casa
ya no estaré detrás de ti cuando te caigas
pero no creo sinceramente que te haga falta.

No seré yo quien guíe tus pasos cuando te pierdas
no seguiré quemando noches frente a tu puerta
ya no estaré para cargarte sobre mi espalda
pero no creo sinceramente que te haga falta

Y sé que vas a estar mejor cuando me vaya
y sé que todo va a seguir como si nada
yo seguiré perdido entre aviones
entre canciones y carreteras
en la distancia no seré mas tu parte incompleta

Y sé que vas a estar mejor cuando me vaya
y sé que todo va a seguir como si nada
mientras escribo sobre la arena
la frase tonta de la semana
aunque no estés para leerla en esta playa

No es que yo quiera convertirme en un recuerdo
pero no es fácil sobrevivir a base de sueños
no es que no quiera estar contigo en todo momento
pero esta vez no puedo darte lo que no tengo

Y sé que vas a estar mejor cuando me vaya
y sé que todo va a seguir como si nada
yo seguiré perdido entre aviones
entre canciones y carreteras
en la distancia no seré mas tu parte incompleta

Y sé que vas a estar mejor cuando me vaya
y sé que todo va a seguir como si nada
mientras escribo sobre la arena
la frase tonta de la semana
aunque no estés para leerla en esta playa

Y sé que vas a estar mejor cuando me vaya
y sé que todo va a seguir como si nada
mientras escribo sobre la arena
la frase tonta de la semana
aunque no estés para leerla en esta playa.

La Frase Tonta de la Semana- La 5a. Estación

La luna se fue
Tras pasar la noche en vela
Preguntándome cómo llegué a ser
Tan sólo una voz
Que si pierde al otro lado
De un teléfono que no funciona bien

Tal vez sea tarde para comprender
Que a dónde yo voy no me lleva tu tren
Tal vez sea yo quien se calle esta vez
Tengo que colgarte, te llamo después

Vuelvo a escribir con la luz apagada
Estoy sin estar y pierdo la calma
Huyendo del daño que hacen las palabras
No miro tus fotos ni leo tus cartas

Otro día más
Que se va del calendario
Mientras grita que no va a volver jamás
Me vuelve a dejar
Con la duda en los bolsillos
y el silencio propio de la soledad

Tal vez sea tarde para comprender
Que soy como soy y el mundo es como es
Tal vez sea tú quien se vay esta vez
Tengo que colgarte, te llamo después

Vuelvo a escribir con la luz apagada
Estoy sin estar y pierdo la calma
Huyendo del daño que hacen las palabras
No miro tus fotos ni leo tus cartas

Vuelvo a escribir con la luz apagada
Estoy sin estar y pierdo la calma
Huyendo del daño que hacen las palabras
No miro tus fotos ni leo tus cartas

Vuelvo a escribir con la luz apagada
Estoy sin estar y pierdo la calma
Huyendo del daño que hacen las palabras
No miro tus fotos ni leo tus cartas

Vuelvo a escribir con la luz apagada

I wouldn't say they're my favourite lyrics of all time, or anything, but I've always loved Beck's Satan Gave Me A Taco (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-XuMvxi-vc)...
Satan gave me a taco and it made me really sick.
The chicken was all raw and the grease was mighty thick.
The rice was all rancid and the beans were so hard.
I was gettin' kinda dizzy eatin' all the lard.
There was aphids on the lettuce and I ate every one.
And after I was done, the salsa melted off my tongue.
Pieces of tortilla got stuck in my throat
And the stains on my clothes burned a hole through my coat.
My stomach was a-trembling. I broke out in a rash.
I was so dry and thirsty and I didn't have no cash,
So I went and found a hose, tore off all my clothes,
Turned on the water and it shot right up my nose.
Some old lady came along and she thought I was a freak,
So she beat me with a handbag 'til I could hardly speak.
I was lying there naked, my body badly bruised,
In a pool of my own blood, unconscious and confused.
Well, the cops came and got me and threw me in their van.
I woke up on the ceiling and I couldn't find my hand.
They took me to the judge, his eyes a-glowing red.
The courtroom was filled with witches and the dead.
Well, the sheriff was a hellhound with fangs and claws.
The prisoners were tied up and chained to the walls.
The air was gettin' thick. The smoke was gettin' thicker.
The judge read the verdict, said, "Cut off his head!"
Well, they placed me on the altar and he raised up the axe.
My head was about to explode, when I noticed the Marshall stacks.
I noticed all the smoke machines, the cameras, and the lights,
Some guy with a microphone running around, dancing in tights.
And I noticed the crew and the band playing down below,
And I realised I was in a rock video.
So I went and joined the band and went out on tour
And I smoked a lot of heroin and I passed out in manure.
I made out with the groupies, started fires back stage,
Made a lot of money and I gave it all away.
Well, the band got killed, so I started a solo career
And I won all the awards and I drank all the beer.
I opened up a taco stand just to smell the smell,
Cooking with the devil, frying down in hell.
Why exactly I like it is something I can't quite put my finger on, other than that I seem to have a soft spot for nonsensical little songs that can be performed on the spur of the moment if there's a guitar handy.

Also, it sort of plays in my head whenever I see the word 'taco', which seems to happen on this board more often than anywhere else :tongue:

And let's not forget this one!

Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Sarastro Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr.
Verstossen sei auf ewig,
Verlassen sei auf ewig,
Zertrümmert sei'n auf ewig
Alle Bande der Natur
Wenn nicht durch dich Sarastro wird erblassen!
Hört, Rachegötter, hört der Mutter Schwur!

Hell's vengeance boils in my heart,
Death and despair flame about me!
If Sarastro does not through you feel the pain of death,
Then you will be my daughter nevermore.
Disowned be forever,
Forsaken be forever,
Destroyed be forever
All the bonds of nature
If you do not make Sarastro turn pale!
Hear, Gods of Vengeance, hear a mother's oath!

Me esperan frente al espejo
Regalan belleza con un color añejo
Querer terminar con lo que soy y poder olvidar
Bajo tierra o en la ceniza sé que me abrazará
Abrir mis cadenas de fría arena
Ver el aire y rasgar mis venas.

Así sientes
Así lloras
Así tienes tu dolor
Así eres
Así piensas
Así olvidas tu dolor

Vida porqué
No puedo sentir no
No tengo perdón por existir
Vida solo tú sabes bien lo que te quiero decir
Abrir mis cadenas de fría arena
Ver el aire y rasgar mis venas.

Así olvidas tu dolor

We've been driving around
From one end of this town to the other and back
But no one's ever seen us (No one's ever seen us)
Driving our Econoline van (And no one's ever heard of our band)
And no one's ever heard of our band

We're the Mesopotamians
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

Then they wouldn't understand a word we say
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay
Half believing there will sometime come a day
Someone gives a damn
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand

We're the Mesopotamians
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

The Mesopotamish sun is beating down
And making cracks in the ground
But there's nowhere else to stand
In Mesopotamia (No one's ever seen us)
The kingdom where we secretly reign (And no one's ever heard of our band)
The land where we invisibly rule

As the Mesopotamians
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

This is my last stick of gum
I'm going to cut it up so everybody else gets some
Except for Ashurbanipal, who says my haircut makes me look like a Mohenjo-Daren

Hey, Ashurbanipal
I'm a Mesopotamian
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

We're the Mesopotamians
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

"Hey, man, I thought that you were dead
I thought you crashed your car"
"No, man, I've been right here this whole time playing bass guitar
For the Mesopotamians"

We're the Mesopotamians
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

We're the Mesopotamians
Sargon, Hammurabi, Ashurbanipal, and Gilgamesh

El sol calienta más de la cuenta en días de invierno
La noche es lenta. Es casi eterna si así lo quiero.
Lo agrio es dulce. Lo malo es bueno. Lo bueno es insuperable.

Todo se hace fácil cuando estás aquí
paseando tu figura en mi cuarto
Todo lo que busco lo he encontrado aquí
Amarrado a tu cintura, pegadito.

Pegadito. Despacito. Así te quiero.
Se siente el aire mas liviano, mas calientito.
Bajo la luna nuestro baile es casi un tren imparable.

Todo se hace fácil cuando estas aquí

Pegado al imán de tu pecho
Voy dejándome llevar por el vaivén de tu pelo
Me gusta cuando muerdes tus labios
Como queriendo decir: Oye! ¿Tú que estás esperando?

Todo es posible cuando estás aquí
Paseando tu hermosura en mi cuarto
Todo lo que busco lo he encontrado aquí
Amarrado a tu cintura, pegadito.

Pegadito- Tommy Torres

"Simple Machines" by Dismantled

---
You are right and I am wrong
I could argue
But I love your confidence
So I'd rather not compete
And accept my own defeat
It's easier

But just because I don't talk back
Doesn't mean I'm in the dark
It's just that talk is cheap

I would rather pay the cost
Put my ego into songs
That speak

You talk about love
You talk about dreams
But you're just all simple machines to me
You say you got trust
It's not gonna last
Cause you're just a simple machine to me
(x2)

I don't think you are convinced
Maybe somehow I have missed the point in this
Everyone keeps marching past
Telling me
"Get back on track
You're ruining this"

Well it's too late for me
All I got to keep this going
Is your distrust in me
And I could care less
Fuck all my friends
No one will be there in the end
I'll die alone, but free

But before I fade away
I can still give you a taste of tragedy
And don't deny it
Just embrace it
You can't hold back the tides

See me rise up one last time
Let the wind blow me to shards
I hope they cut right through me
And these last words that you hear are...

You talk about love
You talk about dreams
But you're just all simple machines to me
You talk about trust
It's not gonna last
Cause you're just a simple machine to me
(x6)

One Week (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0) (Barenaked Ladies)

Its been one week since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side and said Im angry.
Five days since you laughed at me
Saying get that together come back and see me.
Three days since the living room
I realized its all my fault, but couldnt tell you
Yesterday youd forgiven me
But itll still be two days till I say Im sorry

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
Youll think youre looking at aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the chalet swiss
I like the sushi cause its never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like leann rimes
Because Im all about value
Bert kaempferts got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
Id like a stinkin achin shake
I like vanilla, its the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, cause then youll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause its so dangerous, youll have to sign a waiver

How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Cant understand what I mean?
Well, you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of taking off my shirt

Its been one week since you looked at me
Threw your arms in the air and said youre crazy
Five days since you tackled me
Ive still got the rug burns on both my knees
Its been three days since the afternoon
You realized its not my fault not a moment too soon
Yesterday youd forgiven me
And now I sit back and wait till you say youre sorry

Chickity china the chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin
Watchin x-files with no lights on, were dans la maison
I hope the smoking mans in this one
Like harrison ford Im getting frantic
Like sting Im tantric
Like snickers, guaranteed to satisfy
Like kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I dont make films
But if I did theyd have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs just so my
Irons arent always flying off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with sailor moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
That make me think the wrong thing

How can I help it if I think youre funny when youre mad
Trying hard not to smile though I feel bad
Im the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral
Cant understand what I mean? you soon will
I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve
I have a history of losing my shirt

Its been one week since you looked at me
Dropped your arms to your sides and said Im sorry
Five days since I laughed at you
And said you just did just what I thought you were gonna do
Three days since the living room
We realized were both to blame, but what could we do?
Yesterday you just smiled at me
Cause itll still be two days till we say were sorry
Itll still be two days till we say were sorry
Itll still be two days till we say were sorry

Lily Allen-LDN

Riding through the city on my bike all day
Cause the filth took away my license
It doesn't get me down and I feel OK
Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless

Everything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper, but he's sitting with a slapper
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore

You might laugh you might frown
Walkin' round London town

[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies

There was a little old lady, who was walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people from the city having lunch in the park
I believe that it's called al fresco
Then a kid came along to offer a hand

But before she had time to accept it
hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead
Cause he's got all her jewelery and wallet

You might laugh you might frown
walking round London town

[Chorus]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
you can see it's all lies

Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life

[Chorus x2]
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else
Sun is in the sky oh why oh why?
Would I wanna be anywhere else

[x2]
When you look with your eyes
Everything seems nice
But if you look twice
You can see it's all lies

Hate me If You Want To, Love Me If You Can - Toby Keith

Sometimes I think that war is necessary.
Every night I pray for peace on Earth.
I hand out my dollars to the homeless.
But believe that every able soul should work.

My father gave me my shotgun that I'll hand down to my son,
try to teach him everything it means.

(chorus)
I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right.
But I bring my better angels to every fight.
You may not like where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand.
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.

I stand by my right to speak freely,
but I worry 'bout what kids learn from TV.
And before all of the debatin' turns to angry
words and hate, sometimes we should just agree to disagree.
And I believe that Jesus looks down here and sees us,
and if you ask him he would say

(chorus)
I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right.
But I bring my better angels to every fight.
You may not like where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand.
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.

(chorus)
I'm a man of my convictions. Call me wrong, call me right.
But I bring my better angels to every fight.
You may not like where I'm going, but you sure know where I stand.
Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.

Favorite Number 1 (because I can never choose just one)

I was 21 when I first heard this. It means a lot more now.

Music and Lyrics by Russian composer Boris Fomin

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Favorite Number 2

Because it's quintessential Queen

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooo
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh baby - can't do this to me baby
Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters - nothing really matters to me

Anyway the wind blows...

Favorite Number 3

Because I remember ...

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they�d be happy for a while.

But february made me shiver
With every paper I�d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn�t take one more step.

I can�t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock �n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you�re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin� in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin� buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.

I started singin�,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

Now for ten years we�ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin� stone,
But that�s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,

Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.

We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil�s only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan�s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
And singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I�d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn�t play.

And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.

And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die.
"this�ll be the day that I die."

They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin� whiskey and rye
Singin�, "this�ll be the day that I die."

I can't find Don McLean singing it on YouTube or anything else, though it's on the radio a lot. But, if you value your sanity and any pretensions you may have to good taste, do not, repeat, do not listen to the Madonna or Jonas Brothers versions of it.

I'd list more favorites, but, you know, space.

This song lulled me to sleep last night...

Aaayy, duende del sur...
Ayy, ay, ay, del sur...

Que tú eres un ser mágico
Con tu mirada todo es mejor
Andando despacito
Mi cabeza vuela con vos

Sintiéndote al pasar
Dejándome llevar
Crece en mi interior
Hacia un lugar mejor

Aaayy, duende del sur...
Caminando por la calle
Yo te vi...
Caminando por la calle
Yo te vi...
Y un día yo me enamoré
De ti...
Y un día yo me enamoré
De ti...

Qué suerte que te cruzaras
Por mi camino
Señales, encuentros, caprichos
Del destino

Olvidando lo demás
Aprendiendo a caminar
Crece en mi interior
Hacia un lugar mejor

Aaayy, duende del sur...
Caminando por la calle
Yo te vi...
(Caminando por la calle)
Caminando por la calle
Yo te vi...
(Caminando por la calle)
Y un día yo me enamoré
De ti...
Y un día yo me enamoré
De ti...

Esperando al volver del río
Pa' comerte el corazón
Donde te lleva la corriente
A quedarte conmigo pa' siempre

Aaayy, duende del sur...
Caminando por la calle
Yo te vi...
(Caminando)
Caminando por la calle
Yo te vi...
(Caminando)
Y un día yo me enamoré
De ti...
Y un día yo me enamoré
De ti...

Loved Bob Dylan, Aura Mae has done a wonderful job with it!

Forever Young lyrics

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
May you stay forever young.

Mellow... so mellow...

Ya no quiero vivir con los temores
que prefiero entregarme a la ilusión
y lo que creo, defenderlo con firmeza,
sin historias que me abulten el colchón

Y si un día me siento transformado
y decido reorientar la dirección,
tomare un nuevo rumbo sin prejuicios
porque en el cambio esta la evolución

Evolución, en el cambio esta la evolución

Que mi camino se encuentre iluminado
y la negrura no enturbie el corazón
discernimiento al escoger entre los frutos,
decisión para subir otro escalón
Vivir el presente hacia el futuro
guardar el pasado en el arcón,
trabajar por el cambio de conciencia,
dibujar en el aire una canción

Una canción, en el aire una canción...

Ah, this one sums up my mood.

Ya está ahí la Luna.
Que perra la vida y esta soledad.
No quisiera perderme tu tren
y saber lo que es malgastarte.
Podría coger cualquier autobús
con tal de un beso más
pero tengo pesado el hogar
y ya no puedo hacerlo igual.
Puede que mañana me quiera ir.
Y puede también que mañana sea la vida
y que mañana, no exista mañana.
No soy una niña.
No soy ese duende.
No soy luchadora.
No soy tu camino.
No soy buena amante,
ni soy buena esposa.
No soy una flor,
ni un trozo de pan.
Sólo soy esa cara de idiota, idiota
Idiota por tener que recordar la última vez
que te pedí tu amor.
Idiota por colgar tus besos con un marco rojo
por si ya no vuelvo a verlos más.
Idiota por perderme por si acaso te marchabas ya,
y tirar tu confianza desde mi cama hasta esa ventana.
No ves qué fácil ha sido para mí
perderlo todo en un momento.
Por mi miedo a perder, por mi miedo a perder
por mi miedo a no controlar tu vuelo.
No soy una niña.
No soy ese duende.
No soy luchadora.
No soy tu camino.
No soy buena amante,
ni soy buena esposa.
No soy una flor,
ni un trozo de pan.
solo soy
esa cara de idiota, idiota
esa cara de idiota
no ves que facil a sido para mi
perderlo todo en un momento.

I've been resisting, but what the hell. Assuming this favourite lyrics needn't come from favourite songs (though there's some overlap)...

Here are three lyrics I think quite highly of; there are others, but these'll do for starters.

1) Cat-Scan Hist'ry (The Blue Aeroplanes; from Swagger)
(Stanza breaks and punctuation follow the original)

Moving back into the underworld. Nothing new
Can tell you how old you are or what's planned.

Burn land drought land animals sink animals
Stand. Soon to be divided, dispersed, flags unfurled,

New lines drawn on the world. Sink pitch and tar,
Pour silicone rubber to the mould of the rock.

Pull the model of its fossil, a gone-by friend
From the stone matrix of a brain-case, his death

The computer graph of an unseen hand
Come 50 million years to a cat-scan. Face unknown,

Technology at a loss to explain a fever,
Every bone in your arm revealed to the future

As his. The shade of a notion, the ghost of a plan
To give up finally in ourselves the haunt of man.

2) The Triangle Song (Thin White Rope; from Sack Full of Silver)
(Though I'm long since over the angsty awkward early 20s phase that led to this being one of my all-time favourite songs)

I am feeling just a little down
Nothing I can wrap reasons around
But I can ignore it if I look real hard
And make perfect triangles out of every three stars

Sometimes I make burns on my arms
Cause it moves that feeling from my heart to my arms
And I'm driving and it keeps me awake
I have so many more triangles to make

Now that I have planted the seed
Maybe those triangles will form without me
Surround the world in their crystalline ache
And freeze the heroes into glassy mosaics

3) Zip City (Drive-By Truckers; from Southern Rock Opera)
(I spent several years living in a small Southern US town in the 1990s, and this just resonates...)

Your Daddy was mad as hell
He was mad at me and you
As he tied that chain to the front of my car and pulled me out of that ditch that we slid into
Don't know what his problem is
Why he keeps dragging you away
Don't know why I put up with this shit
When you don't put out and Zip City's so far away

Your Daddy is a deacon down at the Salem Church of Christ
And He makes good money as long as Reynolds Wrap keeps everything wrapped up tight
Your Mama's as good a wife and Mama as she can be
And your Sister's puttin' that sweet stuff on everybody in town but me
Your Brother was the first-born, got ten fingers and ten toes
And it's a damn good thing cause He needs all twenty to keep the closet door closed

Maybe it's the twenty-six mile drive from Zip City to Colbert Heights
Keeps my mind clean
Gets me through the night
Maybe you're just a destination, a place for me to go
A way to keep from having to deal with my seventeen-year-old mind all alone
Keep your drawers on, girl, it ain't worth the fight
By the time you drop them I'll be gone
And you'll be right where they fall the rest of your life

You say you're tired of me taking you for granted
Waiting' up till the last minute to call you up and see what you want to do
Well you're only fifteen, girl, you ain't got no secretary
And "for granted" is a mighty big word for a country girl like you
You know it's just your Daddy talking
Cause He knows that blood red carpet at the Salem Church of Christ
Ain't gonna ever see no wedding between me and you

Zip City it's a good thing that they built a wall around you
Zip up to Tennessee then zip back down to Alabama
I got 350 heads on a 305 engine
I get ten miles to the gallon
I ain't got no good intentions

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there's been some sort of an error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all am I not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Infinite_Dreams.jpg

Infinite dreams I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams

Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
Incase the dream begins again
Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid a nightmare's statue
What a dream when will it end
And will I transcend?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
Getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now in too deep

Even though its reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder it makes me think
There's more to this I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
But would I like to get too far in?

It can't all be coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you're an unbeliever
Spiritualist? Well me I'm neither
But wouldn't you like to know
The truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You're on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell?

Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it
Than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby

Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitations
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down

Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're going to carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make.

Here we are, far beyond the distant sky
I've seen all the world and how the story will be over
Through the snow and tainted mountains we have climbed
Now we have found the light that guides us over
Through the falling rain we've travelled far and wide
And through the blackest darkness, stars above shining bright

Through the sun and winter rain will fall
All our lives we all were waiting for a sign to call
We're walking hand in hand in dreams of endless time
How do we know when we will leave this life behind?

Stare at life through eyes of mine
The hate, the fear and the pain
There's a feeling held deep inside
When life you live is in vain
(Life you live is in vain)

Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free

Once again we walk this lonely road
There are times that we were wading through the rain and cold
We're lost in memories of what we left behind
Relive the dreams, the endless screams of pain inside

Lives are filled with emptiness
The fear returns once again
Searching endlessly, now we will see
Drown your mind in the pain
(Drown your mind in the pain)

Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free

The last temptation will be all that's left for me
When I see those tears you cry
When I hear those lies you lie
When I feel all creation now falling down on me
Is this the reason to be?

Fly away down the lonely roads of yesterday
We close our eyes to see the light of brighter days
And all alone we'll be where time can never heal
With the trail of broken hearts flying free...
The trail of broken hearts flying free

dar el paso ya.

Ay! no sé como empezar, no lo sé
soñar, crecer, comenzar
dar el paso ya.

Compartir mis ganas de ayudar a los demás
entregarme a esta fresca y nueva oportunidad
trabajar con ilusión, firmeza y respetar
la luz de mi conciencia que me llena de paz.

Abriendo bien los ojos
fijarme en los detalles
depertar mis sentíos
fundirme con el aire.

Escapar del tiempo y vivir sin miedo
contemplar la vida y sus misterios
escuchar el silencio y perderme dentro
encontrar respuestas del susurro del viento.

Abriendo bien los ojos
fijarme en los detalles
depertar mis sentíos
fundirme con el aire.

Conectar con mi ser y espabilar
proyectar mi alegria y observar
y liberar mi mente, sentir con claridad
que hay un nuevo mundo.
y del presente disfrutar

Abriendo bien los ojos
fijarme en los detalles
depertar mis sentíos
fundirme con el aire.

Run To You Third Day

I was tired of waiting
Playing all the games and
Living in a place that was not for me
So I thought it was time
For me to get what's mine
And to do it all, everything I dreamed
What I thought was the best
of me turned to be
All the worst I could find

If I run to you
Will you hold me in your arms forevermore
If I run to you
Will you hold me in your arms forevermore

Now I got a feeling
That I've got to leave and
Find a way back to where I came from
Though I don't deserve it
I know it's unheard but
Living here without you, my life is done
I confess that I shouldn't
have run from you
Now I know I was wrong

Nowhere to run to
And no one to turn to
I'm dying out here on my own
Long before I even thought of returning
Your arms are wide open
Waiting for me to come home

You in your shell are you waiting for someone to rescue you from yourself.
Don't be disappointed when no
one comes.

Don't blame me you didn't get it [3x]

I already told you, that falling is easy its getting back up that becomes the problem,
becomes the problem and if you don't believe that you can find a way out
you become the problem, become the problem.

You, all alone, are you waiting for someone to make you whole?
Can't you see aren't you tired of this

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Hank Williams

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep,
When leaves began to die?
That means he's lost the will to live,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry.

Cold Cold Heart - Hank Williams

I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are spoke that make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind,and melt your cold cold heart

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from life,to try it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you,the more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

The Lonely Island - "Jizz in My Pants"

---
Lock eyes from across the room
Down my drink while the rhythms boom
Take your hand and skip the names
No need here for the silly games
Make our way through the smoke and crowd
The club is the sky and I'm on your cloud
Move in close as the lasers fly
Our bodies touch and the angels cry
Leave this place go back to yours
Our lips first touch outside your doors
A whole night what we've got in store
Whisper in my ear that you want some more
And I

Jizz in my pants

This really never happens you can take my word
I won't apologize, that's just absurd
Mainly your fault from the way that you dance
And now I

Jizz in my pants

Don't tell your friends or I'll say you're a slut
Plus it's your fault, you were rubbing my butt
I'm very sensitive, some would say that's a plus
Now I'll go home and change

I need a few things from the grocery
Do things alone now mostly
Left me heart broken not lookin' for love
Surprised in my eyes when I looked above
The check-out counter and I saw her face
My heart stood still so did time and space
Never felt that I could feel real again
But the look in her eyes said I need a friend
She turned to me, that's when she said it
Looked me dead in the face, asked "cash or credit"
And I

Jizzed in my pants

It's perfectly normal, nothing wrong with me
But we're going to need a clean up on aisle 3
And now I'm posed in an awkward stance because I

Jizzed in my pants

To be fair you were flirting a lot
Plus the way you bag cans got me bothered and hot
Please stop acting like you're not impressed
One more thing, I'm gonna pay by check

Last week - I saw a film
As I recall it was a horror film
Walked outside into the rain
Checked my phone and saw you rang and I

Jizzed in my pants

Speeding down the street when the red lights flash
Need to get away need to make a dash
A song comes on that reminds me of you and I

Jizz in my pants

The next day my alarm goes off and I

Jizz in my pants

Open my window and a breeze rolls in and I

Jizz in my pants

When Bruce Willis was dead at the end of sixth sense I

Jizzed in my pants

I just ate a grape and I

Jizzed... in... my pants

Jizzed... in... my pants

Ok seriously you guys can we... ok...

I jizz right in my pants every time you're next to me
And when we're holding hands it's like having sex with me
You say I'm premature I just call it ecstasy
I wear a rubber at all times it's a necessity

Cuz I

Jizz... in... my pants

One of my all-time favorite songs...Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Alabama

Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama
Lordy
Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer

This is, my dear, how you make me feel...

I like the English version. Simple and Clean was actually the only reason I got a PS2 instead of a Gamecube or Xbox back when those were the competing systems. Saw a commercial for KH, thought the song was good (though the game looked good, too) and decided I would get a PS2 so I could get KH.

I Am Kloot
"Avenue of Hope"
From the album Gods and Monsters

Along the avenue of hope
The footsteps falter, the fingers grope
And days, stretch out, beneath the sun

No-one's born, and no-one dies
No-one lives, so no-one cries
And we wait to see just what we will become

Don't let me falter, don't let me ride
Don't let the earth in me subside
Let me see just who I will become

You're like the clouds in my home town
You just grow fat and hang around
And your days stretch out beneath the sun

And you don't live, you don't die
You don't love, so you don't cry
And we wait, to see just what we will become

Don't let me borrow, don't let me bring
Don't let me wallow, don't make me sing
Let me see just who I will becomee

Don't let me falter, don't let me hide
Don't let someone else decide
Just who or what I will become

Don't let them borrow, don't let them bring
Don't let them wallow, don't make them sing
Let them stretch out beneath the sun

Tool
"46 & 2"
From the album Aenima

My shadow's
Shedding skin
I've been picking
Scabs again
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in
I wanna feel the changes coming down
I wanna know what I've been hiding in

My shadow
My shadow
Change is coming through my shadow
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.

I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions

I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within

My shadow
My shadow
Change is coming
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory
Contemplate what I've been clinging to
Forty-six and two ahead of me

I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through

I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through

See my shadow changing
Stretching up and over me
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow
Coming out the other side
Step into the shadow
Forty six and two are just ahead of me

"Deathstar"
From the album Alpha

Walkin’ tall, you stand up all alone
With hand and fist I stand up for my own
The only...thing you’re going to do is fall
So watch your shit you think you own it all

(Not knowing I)
I got my grip on you
(It’s time to show me)

What’s up inside you that makes you click for hate?

You’ll never find a way to stop me
What makes you click for hate?
You left me with no choice, I’m comin’
(Watch how I blow through you)

I’ll take the blame, that’s all you have to give
So keep your shame and hide it from the ones you lied to
Go wipe your face and start to crawl
And if you get up I’ll be there, and you’ll...
(Start falling)

(I)
I got my grip on you
(Why don’t you show me?)

Whats up inside you that makes you click for hate?

You’ll never find a way to stop me
What makes you click for hate?
You left me with no choice, I’m comin’
(Watch how I blow through you)

You can’t stop me
I will never fall
You show me
Nothing at all
(Nothing at all)

I got my grip on you
(Look on the inside)
Blame is all you have to give
(You never told me)

What’s up inside you that makes you click for hate?

You’ll never find a way to stop me
What makes you click for hate?
You left me with no choice, I’m comin’
(Watch how I blow through you)

Hay una niña sola en su habitación
Jugando con el aire y su imaginación
No comparte tesoros ni tampoco secretos
Su universo es grande, más que el mundo entero

Ella ríe sin saber porqué, ella habla si saber porqué
Ella mira a su alrededor y no ve más que dolor
Niña, qué va a ser de ti sin sueños que cumplir
Con tu vida, no querrás seguir...
Niña, qué va a ser de ti sin sueños que cumplir
Con tu vida, no querrás seguir...

100 noches de lágrimas y de fría oscuridad
El calor más cercano era el de la soledad
Tiene tanto miedo a que puedan entrar
En su frágil burbuja de irrealidad

Ella ríe sin saber porqué, ella habla sin saber porqué
Ella mira a su alrededor y no ve más que dolor
Niña, qué va a ser de ti, sin sueños que cumplir
Con tu vida, no querrás seguir...
Niña, qué va a ser de ti, sin sueños que cumplir
Con tu vida, no querrás seguir...

Ella ríe sin saber porqué, ella habla sin saber porqué

I backed my car into a cop car, the other day.
Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say.
Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on any way, well.

A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam.
It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand.
Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on good news is on the way.

And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, ok.
And we'll all float on, alright.
Already we'll all float on.
No, don't you worry, we'll all float on.
Alright, already, we'll all float on.
Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on.

Alright alright we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on.
Alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy.
We'll all float on...alright. Already we'll all float on.
Alright already we'll all float on, ok.
Don't worry we'll all float on.
Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on.

Alright already we'll all float on.

Don't you worry we'll all float on.

Oh I know. I recognized the few bits of English the version you posted and I have Passion saved somewhere on my computer (but I never listen to it, since I have Sanctuary). I was just noting that I like Simple and Clean a lot, too, since it's the same writer.

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over-bored and self-assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah

Hey
Yay

I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift, I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello

With the lights out, it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino
A mosquito, my libido
Yeah

Hey
Yay

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind

Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?

This song reminds me of you. Yes, so much. And I know you may not understand these words, and it's ok that you do not. It's better that you do not.

Agil como el agua
Fuerte como el viento
Duro como el tiempo

Me niegas la entrada
Una y tantas veces
que vivo del intento
(y es que soy)

Imparable, contigo.
Indomable es lo que siento
Pero es intocable tu corazón.

Tanto que te busco
Tanto que te alejo
Tanto que no quiero

Son tantas las hormonas
que le ganan la batalla
a todos mis miedos
(y es que soy)

Imparable, contigo.
Indomable es lo que siento
Pero es intocable tu corazón.
Tu corazón.

Imparable, por tí soy.
Inexplicable sentimiento.
Pero inalcanzable es tu corazón.
(pero soy)

Imparable, contigo.
Indomable es lo que siento
Pero es intocable tu corazón.
Tu corazón.

Red, White, and Blue Lynyrd Skynyrd

We don't have no plastic L.A. Frynds,
ain't on the edge of no popular trend.
Ain't never seen the inside of that magazine GQ.
We don't care if you 're a lawyer, or a texas oil man,
or some waitress busting ass in some liquor stand.
If you got Soul
We hang out with people just like you

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Ride our own bikes To Sturgis
we pay our own dues,
smoking camels, drinking domestic BREWS
You want to know where I have been
just look at my hands
Yeah, I've driven by the White House,
Spent some time in jail.
Momma cried but she still wouldn't pay my bail.
I ain't been no angel,
But even God, he understands.

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

Yeah that's right!

My Daddy worked hard, and so have I,
paid our taxes and gave our lives
to serve this great country
so what are they complaining about

Yeah we love our families, we love our kids
you know it is love that makes us all so rich
That's where were at,
If they don't like it they can just
get the HELL out!

Yeah!

My hair's turning white,
my neck's always been red,
my collar's still blue,
we've always been here
just trying to sing the truth to you.
Yes you could say
we've always been,
Red, White, and Blue

oh..oh..Red, White, and Blue....

Gimme Back My Bullets Lynyrd Skynyrd

Life is so strange when its changin', yes indeed
Well I've seen the hard times and the pressure's been on me
But I keep on workin' like the workin' man do
And I've got my act together, gonna walk all over you

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets

Sweet talkin' people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But I'm leavin' this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry 'cause I do not sing the blues

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh, put 'em back... where they belong

Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well I've been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I got it back, I'm feelin' better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way

Gimme back my bullets
Put 'em back where they belong
Ain't foolin' around, 'cause I done had my fun
Ain't gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh put 'em back where they belong
Gimme back my bullets

Red White and Blue by Judas Priest

When I'm far away
And I can't get through
Wherever I roam
this piece of home
Keeps bringing me back to you

Holding on to hope
There's no need to fear
Wherever I roam
This piece of home
Keeps telling you that I'm near

So lift up your heart
Cause the brave will always come through
While we're apart
We will raise the red, white and blue

When I stand alone
Without you by my side
I think of all
That you stand for
It fills me up with pride

Reaching out to you
Across mountains, sea and sky
I think of all
That you stand for
And hope will never die

So lift up your heart
Cause the brave will always come through
While we're apart
We will raise the red, white and blue

Now I'm coming home again
I'm coming home to you
And as I roam
This piece of home
Has brought me back to you

So lift up your heart
Cause the brave will always come through
While we're apart
We will raise the red, white and blue

Greedy Fly - Bush

Do you feel the way you hate
Do you hate the way you feel
Always closest to the flame
Ever closer to the blade
I am poison crazy lush
Built these hands to lift me up
We are servants to our formulaic ways
I'm s c r e a m i n g s d a i s i e s
From 14 miles away
I've got my own time
Got it all today
Make up your mind
I need some help
To find this mind

Limbo this and limbo that
You were this and you were that
Ever know that what you fear is what you find
This Indian summer
I signed my life away
There's a greedy fly in here
And I fly away (need some help)

Video is good too.

'neverender' by Wolves Under Sail

I was alone
Cold to the bone
Clinging to a broken mast
Adrift upon this ocean vast
I clung on
So tightly
With a water logged and rusty compass
Wondering where I might be

How did we get lost so easily?
We found ourselves in the nether fog
With too many mouths and not enough grog
What to do, a ship without a crew?
She said it with her creaking timber
But what she said I can’t remember

All aboard the never ender
Blown to hell, but she’ll never surrender
She drags us though the waves of eternity
She’ll fight to live by any manner
Bones and blood she flies to banner
She promises death but will set you free
Her enemies are great in number
While they live she’ll never slumber
Hunting them down in the witches hour
For those possessed of bloody hunger
Get your fill on the neverender
We set sail for the end of days

I go
Where the winds blow
Drifting to I know not where
Is there anybody out there?
Like me
A ghost at sea
Surely just a passing thought
A slowly sinking memory

And there she was, a shadow in the fog
Cutting through without a sound, it’s towards her prey that she is bound
I reached out; my mind had not a doubt
She said it through her creaking timbers
All aboard the neverender!

All aboard the never ender
Blown to hell, but she’ll never surrender
She drags us though the waves of eternity
She’ll fight to live by any manner
Bones and blood she flies to banner
She promises death but will set you free
Her enemies are great in number
While they live she’ll never slumber
Hunting them down in the witches hour
For those possessed of bloody hunger
Get your fill on the neverender
We set sail for the end of days

She crashes through the mighty waves
The hero boards, the wisher stays
Leave your hope upon the shore
For where we go you’ll need it no more

This revelation is the death of ignorance
Decadent state of suffocation
Slave to self-righteousness
Damnation is on your lips

From sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution
From sorrow to serenity, it's on your head

This is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
This is my last serenade
From yourself you can't run away

It's your choice
Point the finger, but it's on your head

Your destination is a choice within yourself
Will you run or become a slave to self-righteousness?
Open up your heart and gaze within

From sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution
From sorrow to serenity, it's on your head

This is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
This is my last serenade
From yourself you can't run away

I guess I just got lost
Bein' someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you let me be myself

I'll never find my heart
Behind someone else
I'll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
It's time to make my way
Into the world I knew
Take back all of these times
That I gave in to you

Lately I'm so tired of waiting for you
To say that it's ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
And let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself

That's all I've ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me

Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
For a while, if you don't mind
Let me be myself
So I can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you one time... oooh
Let me be myself
Let me be me

A Country Boy Can Survive Hank Williams Jr.

The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trout-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
Cause one-of-‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We’re from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a trout-line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

How we'd follow the path of the hero.
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun.
How we rise to the height of our halo.

Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior,
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations;
None of us have actually been there.
Not like you.

Ignorant siblings in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy,
Spare me.
None of them can even hold a candle up to you.
Blinded by choice, these hypocrites won't see.

But, enough about the collective Judas.
Who could deny you were the one who
Illuminated your little piece of the divine?

And this little light of mine, a gift you passed on to me;
I'm gonna let it shine to guide you safely on your way,
Your way home ...

Oh, what are they going to do when the lights go down
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they going to do when the rivers overrun
Other than tremble incessantly?

High is the way, but all eyes are upon the ground.
You were the light and the way they'll only read about.
I only pray, Heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough;
You're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fists at the gates saying:
"I've come home now!
Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my, give me my wings!"

You are the light and way that they will only read about.

Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance,
(With the) burden of proof tossed upon the believers.
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence,
Judith Marie, unconditional one.

Daylight dims leaving cold fluorescents.
Difficult to see you in this light.
Please forgive this bold suggestion, but
Should you see your Maker's face tonight,
Look Him in the eye, look Him in the eye, and tell Him:
"I never lived a lie, never took a life, but surely saved one.
Hallelujah, it's time for you to bring me home."

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that
I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me

Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me
When you're on the outside
Baby, and you can't get in
I would show you
You're so much better than you know
When you're lost, you're alone
Can't get back again
I will find you
Darlin' and I'll bring you home

And if you want to cry
I am here to dry your eyes (ooh)
You know time
You'll be fine

You think I'd leave your side baby?
You know me better than that
Think I'd leave you down
When you're down on your knees?
I wouldn't do that

I'll tell you you're right when you're wrong
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh, oh
And if only you could see into me

Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, baby (by your side, baby)
Ohh, when you're cold
I'll be there
Hold you tight to me (to me, yeah)
Ohh, when you're alone
I'll be there
By your side, baby

Memorias perdías
De siglos descansan
Al fondo hasta que llega el alba
Secretos perdíos,
Almas duras y cobre
Abajo la mar está la llave ¡¡¡perdía!!!
Ande esta la calle del recuerdo y el olvido
Sendas y vereas que llvan a un mismo río?
Ande está la muerte?
Ande va ese río?

La mer
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent

La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie

La mer
Au ciel d'été confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergère d'azur
Infinie

Voyez
Près des étangs
Ces grands roseaux mouillés
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ces maisons rouillées

La mer
Les a bercés
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
A bercé mon coeur pour la vie

I have listened to an awful lot of Hypnotize this week.
"They have returned,
resting on a mountainside,
We have learned
That you have no
HONOR!
MURDERER!
SODOMIZER!"

And song that features the word sodomizer deserves cred.

And oddly enough, Vicinity of Obscenity just came on.

Nanatsu anda tontina esta noche...

Si tú no vuelves
se secarán todos los mares
y esperaré sin ti
tapiado al fondo de algún recuerdo

Si tú no vuelves
mi voluntad se hará pequeña...
Me quedaré aquí
junto a mi perro espiando horizontes

Si tú no vuelves
no quedarán más que desiertos
y escucharé por si
algún latido le queda a ésta tierra

Que era tan serena
cuando me querías
habia un perfume fresco que yo respiraba
era tan bonita, era así de grande
no tenía fin...

Y cada noche vendrá una estrella
a hacerme compañía
que te cuente cómo estoy
y sepas lo que hay

Dime amor, amor, amor
estoy aquí ¿no ves?
Si no vuelves no habrá vida
no sé lo que haré

Si tú no vuelves
no habrá esperanza ni habrá nada
Caminaré sin tí
con mi tristeza bebiendo lluvia

Si tú no vuelves- Miguel Bose

First Orgasm ~ Dresden Dolls

it is a thursday
i get up early
it is a challenge
i'm usually lazy

i make some coffee
I eat some rice chex
and then i sit down
to check my inbox

i only read a word or two
i stare across the street and see the churches and the blue

the first orgasm of the morning
is cold and hard as hell
there won't be any second coming
as far as i can tell

i arch my back cause
i'm very close now
it's very cold here
by the window

there are some school kids
yelling and running
i barely notice
that i am cumming

the first orgasm of the morning
is like a fire drill
it's nice to have a little warning
but not enjoyable

i am too busy to have friends
a lover would just complicate my plans
so i will never look for love again
i'm taking matters into my own hands

i think i could last at least a week without someone to hold me
i think i could last at least a week without someone to hold me
won't you hold me?

Saddest song I know.

Also Boston (http://www.dresdendolls.com/downloads_n_lyrics/lyrics/boston.htm) and Another Year (http://whokilledamandapalmer.com/song.php?track=12) which were basically the theme songs to my summer in Sydney. :(

Yeah, I'm emo. And to counterbalance that, Political Science by Randy Newman:

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

'De gustibus non disputandum' eh? Personally, I likes me some Bocephus, especially on warm summer nights with a beer and cigar. Apropos of that:

If Heaven Ain't A Lot Like Dixie, I Don't Want To Go

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home

I was one of the chosen few, to be born in Alabam',
I'm just alike my daddy's son, I'm proud of who I am.
I went through a lot of good women, and shook old Jim Beam's hand, if I never see the pearly gates, I've walked through the promised land.

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go,
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home.
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee,
Just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me.

I've got wild honey trees and crazy little weeds, growin' around my shack,
These dusty roads ain't streets of gold, but I'm a happy right where I'm at.
All these pretty little southern belles are a country boy's dream, They ain't got wings or halos, but they're sure looking good to me.

If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I don't wanna go
If heaven ain't a lot like Dixie, I'd just as soon stay home
If they don't have a Grand Ole Opry, like they do in Tennessee,
just send me to hell or New York City, it would be about the same to me.

I hear the sound of falling love
As I wonder where you are
It hits the ground with a dead sound
You know you ain't got far

You're too stupid and sissy-like
To say that you want out
You make the eyes of a million girls
And think you'll make them shout

Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound

I used to take you on every time
That sparkle turned to black
I used to drag you through my streets
When you came crawling back

Your cheap words that you bought on sale
Won't help you through tonight
You make the eyes of a million girls
And think that's what they like

Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound

And now you go through a million girls
And try to pick what's right
When nightfall comes and you're still alone
Do you feel it deep inside?

It's oh-so-cold on the other side
Where thoughts can turn you down
You make the eyes of a million girls
But I see no girl around

Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound
Dead sound

I don’t want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart

In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you
No other will do

I’ve lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I’ll have reached the goal I’m dreaming of

Believe me
I don’t want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart

I don't wanna set the world on fire, honey
I love ya too much
I just wanna start a big big flame
Down in your heart
You see, way down inside of me
Darlin' I have only one desire
And that one desire is you
And I know nobody else ain't gonna do

I’ve lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I’ll have reached the goal I’m dreaming of

Believe me
I don’t want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart

This song, not the lyrics per se, but the rhythm and the voice of the singer make me feel so much. It makes me feel enough to want to dance to it and then fall, surrendering completely, in my Keeper's arms.

Time can never mend the careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find

Should've known better

I feel so unsure
as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
as the music dies, something in your eyes
calls to mind the silver screen
and all its sad good-byes

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste the chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Time can never mend
the careless whispers of a good friend
to the heart and mind
ignorance is kind
there's no comfort in the truth
pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
and waste this chance that I've been given
so I'm never gonna dance again
the way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But noone's gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I'm never gonna dance again
guilty feet have got no rhythm
though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

You Give Love A Bad Name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free

You're a loaded gun ... yeah
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart, and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name

You paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye

You're a loaded gun
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save me, the damage is done

Shot through the heart, and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love.....

Shot through the heart and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

Shot through the heart and your to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name

You give love....
You give love a bad name
You give love....
You give love a bad name
You give love....
You give love a bad name

I've always liked this song, ever since I first heard it on the radio.

The Devil Went Down To Georgia

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he resined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire on the moun, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pin, pickin' out dough.
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

And he played fire on the mount, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pin pickin' out dough.
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

Broken Crow by Reaching Quiet

You've gone skinny
all alone in New York City.
It's okay, spread the peanut butter thick.
You're back home. Sleep 'til noon
and listen to the shape shifters
in the Volvo on your way to borrow
foreign movies from the library.

Did they teach you French kiss in New York?
Did you learn to shave your face close
with dial soap and a steak knife?
How to slickly wipe a sweaty palm
on your pants thigh
before shaking hands firm
with the shadiest show promoters?

I know it's hard for a single person
to fold queen size bed sheets.
You left your reds hat
in the back seat of mom's Volvo.

She wanted to have it cast in bronze
to be put on display next to your baby shoes
and first buck on the T.V. in the den.

But i knew you'd be back
to eat a bowl of peanut butter bumpers,
to jerk off to the lingerie ads
in the j.c. penny catalogue.
I knew you'd be back.
I knew you'd come back,
to go back to school
or get a job at the downtown library,
the health food store,
painting apartments for Ray Ritchie,
or to work at the cigar kiosk
at Kenwood mall.

It's cool.
just make sure you get out of here by December.
Go to California. Go to Hawaii.
Cincinnati sucks in the winter,
you know that like the bump
on the back of your neck.
It sucks the leaves from the trees,
and by the time the snow is melting,
they always find four or five
bodies hanging by belts
from the train trestles,
or in empty parking lots
slit wrists, turning what's left
of the snow into cherry slushy.

I know,
all beautiful places
are prone to natural disaster.
but being swallowed
by the Earth in manilla
beats a slow death
in the Midwest.

Last night I practiced holding my breath.
My record is two minutes thirteen seconds.
But that was in the swimming pool last summer.
It's easier in water.
Just do the dead-man's-float.
Let your limbs drift.
Don't count in your head.
Ignore your pumping blood.
Focus on the quiet.

Not really lyrics, but the voiceover for The Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. May not be exact, I am going by memory.

A car's on fire
And there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewer's are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And the flags are all dead,
at the top of their poles.
And a dark wind blows.
The government is corrupt,
and we're all drugged with the radios on and our curtains drawn.
We're in the belly of this horrible machine.
And the machine is burning to death.
It went like this:
the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything awash in a thin orange haze
Mothers clutching babies
dig through the rubble
and pull out their hair.
I said "Kiss me here beautiful, these are truly the last days"
and you grabbed my hair, and we fell into it,
like a daydream,
or a fever.

(about 6 minutes of instrumental)

We woke up and fell a little further down
This must surely be the valley of death
I opened up my wallet,
and it was full of blood.

i have to drive
i have my reasons, deer
it’s cold outside
i hate the seasons here

i suffer mornings most of all
i feel so powerless and small
by 10 o’clock i’m back in bed
fighting the jury in my head

we learn to drive
it’s only natural, deer
we drive all night
we haven’t slept in years

we suffer mornings most of all
we saw you lying in the road
we tried to dig a decent grave
but it’s still no way to behave

it is a delicate position
spin the bottle
pick the victim
catch a tiger
switch directions
if he hollers
break his ankles
to protect him

we’ll have to drive
they’re getting closer
just get inside
it’s almost over

we will save your brothers we
will save your cousins we will drive them
far away from streets and lights
from all signs of mad mankind

we suffer mornings most of all
wake up all bleary-eyed and sore
forgetting everything we saw

i’ll meet you in an hour
at the car.

And then she brought on a four piece brass band and did Leeds United as an encore. That was fun.

I know it by heart. :P

I went to see her two weeks ago here in Brisbane (which is where the Danger Ensemble is from actually, I went to school with one of them). But compared to last time I saw her, she seemed a little worn out. Which is understandable because she's been touring for like two years and dealing with all sorts of stuff on the side. I keep commenting everywhere that she should take a year off, but she's a workaholic. :wink:

Aye. She does such good concerts, and the DE really were an inspired choice to work with. Did they do Slide in Brisbane? Freakiest song ever, the way they did it in London. And she did a wonderful downtempo, minor key version of Oasis - made the lyrics even more crazy.

"Mordecai" by Between the Buried and Me

Asleep mid-sentence- the words fell apart.
No one is listening anyway.
This day will soon turn black
and my "wants and needs" will spill on me burning ashes.
I learned to be selfish today...
I learned to be alive.
These things I care for are for my personal gain
my personal happiness only.
Why should I sit in your chairs and satisfy your standards.
I've done it all before and I've confused myself a thousand times.
The tragic day that I call morality just doesn't do it for me anymore.
The day will turn black and I will have Neither lived or died.
Asleep mid-sentence- my words fall to the ground.
Swept into this dreamland.
Economic satisfaction.
Never succeed.
But happiness has its place.
Justice will not lie in your corner.
Throw myself in the corner
We have nothing to complain about here.
Tragic day seems too peaceful to most,
spoiled ambitions turned my heart to black, black.

Living dreams, loving dreams,
awakening to what I've always dreamt of.
Living dreams, loving dreams,
awakening to what I've always dreamt of.
The familiar sound, the familiar sound of the lovely love
from the love of my life will keep the notes coming.
From the reciting of the show, from the Plip and Shevanel,
from the grind that annoys, and the sarcasm they all hate

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.

You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.

Ahhhh-Ahhh, the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Oh, I'm finding
That's not the way I want my story to end

I'm safe up high,
Nothing can touch me
Why do I feel this party's over?
No pain inside
You're my protection
But how do I feel this good sober?

I don't wanna be the girl that has to fill the silence..
The quiet scares me 'cause it screams the truth
Please don't tell me that we had that conversation
'Cause I won't remember, save your breath 'cause what's the use?

Ahhhh-Ahhh, the night is calling
And it whispers to me softly, "come and play"
I am falling
And if I let myself go, I'm the only one to blame

I'm safe up high,
Nothing can touch me
But why do I feel this party's over?
No pain inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

Comin' down, comin' down, comin' down,
Spinnin' round, spinnin' round, spinnin' round
Looking for myself,
Sober
Comin' down, comin' down, comin' down,
Spinnin' round, spinnin' round, spinnin' round
Looking for myself,
Sober

When it's good, then it's good
It's all good 'till it goes bad
'Till you try to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry, never again!
Broken down in agony
Just trying to find a friend
Ohhh

Whoahhh

I'm safe up high,
Nothing can touch me
Why do I feel this party's over?
Whoahhh
No pain inside
You're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

Whoahhh

I'm safe up high, nothing can touch me
Why do I feel this party's over?
Why do I feel this party's over?
Whoahhh
No pain inside, you're like perfection
But how do I feel this good sober?

Sober- Pink

Sweet Child of Mine Guns n Roses

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
she takes me away to that special place
And if I stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

woah oh oh
Sweet child o' mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

woah oh oh
Sweet child o' mine
woah oh oh oh
Sweet love of mine

woah oh oh oh
Sweet child o' mine
woah oh oh
Sweet love of mine

woah oh oh oh
Sweet child o' mine
woah oh oh
Sweet love of mine

(One of the greatest guitar solos)

Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Where do we go

Where do we go now
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine
o Where do we go now
ah ah aiai ai ai
Where do we go now
Where do we go

Where do we go now
Where do we go now
where do we go
where do we go now
now now now now now now now
sweet child
sweet child of mine

Cherry Pie Warrant

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie
Yeah
Wow
Heh Heh
Well swinging on the front porch
Swinging on the lawn
Swinging where we want
cause there aint nobody home
Swingin' to the left and
Swingin' to the right
I think about baseball
I'll swing all night, yeah
Yeah, yeah - huh!

Swingin in the living room
Swingin' in the kitchen
Most folks don't
Cause they're too busy bitchin'
Swingin' in there
Cause she wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter
And she licked the beater

I scream, you scream,
We all scream for her
Don't even try
Cause you can't ignore her

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Oh yeah

She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie

Swingin to the drums
Swingin to guitar
Swingin to the bass in the back of my car
Ain't got money, ain't got no gas
Get where were goin if we swing real fast

I scream, you scream,
We all scream for her
Don't even try
Cause you can't ignore her

She's my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Oh yeah

She's my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face
Ten miles wide
Looks so good
Bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie

Swing it
All night long
Swing it
Hey, hey, Ow!

I'm a trained professional
Swingin' in the bathroom
Swingin' on the floor
Swingin' so hard
Forgot to lock the door
In walks her daddy
Standin' six foot four
Said, "You ain't gonna swing
with my daughter no more."

Sweet Cherry Pie
Yeah! Huh!
Swing it!

I'm a sucker for the old hair metal bands. It's what I grew up with, and I never lost the taste for it.

Saw a dog carcass in the alley this morning,
Tire tread on burst stomach...
Thought of you,
The sewers clot with blood from the corruption
And human filth, but I'm not...
Feeling blue.
Some people ask, "Who watches the Watchmen?"
Well, watching you was all I had to do
In your face I can see me -- well, psychologically,
Rorschach, I love you.

I never thought I'd find someone who understands so well
Just how cruel... life can be.
Who will drop the commie liberals down elevator shafts
With their heroin and child pornography.
The whores and politicians will look up and shout "Save us!"
And you will whisper "No",
And that simple vicious thought gets me so darn frickin' hot,
Rorschach, I love you so.

You're a reflection of society,
All the passion that we can feel
How I love your sense of justice
And your trench-coated buns of steel.

They say they'll get you someday, you're a crazy outlaw mask,
But it's me... who's been caught.
They'll never understand, and I hope someday you'll ask
Me to score... your inkblot.
And even if we're facing Armageddon,
It doesn't matter what they do,
Atom bomb or giant squid, here's looking at you, kid,
Rorschach, I'll always love you.
I knew it from the start, you've grappling-gunned my heart,
Rorschach, I love you.

WITCH:
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!

It's the last midnight.
It's the last wish.
It's the last midnight,
Soon it will be boom-
Squish!
Told a little lie,
Stole a little gold,
Broke a little vow,
Did you?

Had to get your Prince,
Has to get your cow,
Have to get your wish,
Doesn't matter how-
Anyway, it doesn't matter now.

It's the last midnight,
It's the boom-
Splat!
Nothing but a vast midnight.
Everybody smashed flat!

Nothing we can do.
Not exactly true:
We can always give her the boy...

No?
No, of course what really matters
Is the blame,
Somebody to blame.
Fine, if that's the thing you enjoy,
Placing the blame,
If that's the aim,
Give me the blame-
Just give me the boy.

THE OTHERS:
No!

WITCH:
No?

You're so nice.
You're not good,
You're not bad,
You're just nice.
I'm not good,
I'm not nice,
I'm just right.
I'm the Witch.
You're the world.

I'm the hitch.
I'm what no one believes,
I'm the Witch.
You're all liars and theives,
Like his father,
Like his son will be, too-
Oh, why bother?
You'll just do what you do.

It's the last midnight,
So, goodbye all.
Coming at you fast, midight-
Soon you'll see the sky fall.

Here, you want a bean?

Have another bean.
Beans were made for making you rich!
Plant them and they soar-
Here, you want some more?
Listen to the roar...
Giants by the score-!
Oh well, you can blame another witch.

It's the last midnight.
It's the last verse.
Now, before it's past midnight,
I'm leaving you my last curse:

I'm leaving you alone.
You can tend the garden, it's yours.
Separate and alone,
Everybody down on all fours.

All right, mother, when?
Lost the beans again!
Punish me the way you did then!
Give me claws and a hunch,
Just away from this bunch
And the gloom
And the doom
And the boom
Cruuunch!

For St. Paddy's day, Metallica's cover of Whiskey In The Jar. Of all the people I've heard cover this song, I think I like theirs the best.

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry Mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money, he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said, "Stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya"

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money, yeah, and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she loved me, no, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There's whiskey in the jar, oh

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' Molly with me but I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven, yeah, in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Yeah, musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, ha, yeah
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There's whiskey in the jar, oh

Yeah, whiskey, yo, whiskey
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah

Now some men like a fishin' but some men like the fowlin'
Some men like to hear, to hear the cannonball roarin'
But me, I like sleepin', 'specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, heh, heh
Whack for my daddy, oh
Whack for my daddy, oh
There's whiskey in the jar, oh, yeah
Whiskey in the jar, oh

Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, hey
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da
Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da, yeah

System of a Down
"Suggestions"
From the album System of a Down

---

Watching
From a post up high
From where you see the ships afar
From a well trained eye
The waves all keep on crashing by
If you are the light post
Then you own the working class
But if you want the answers
You'd better give a piece of ass
Give a piece of your ass

Warning
Post-hypnotic suggestions
Running the ships ashore
The orange light that follows
Will soon proclaim itself a god
If you point your questions
The fog will surely chew you up
But if you want the answers
You'd better get ready for the fire
Get ready for the fire

The ships are multiplying day after day, sir
And they're coming close to the shore sir, shore sir
We need to evacuate the lightpost, it's all over
Over
It's all over

[Spoken]
Rival gangsters sit down to plan an after-school program
A religious fanatic posts footage of an interfaith service project
A group of teenage boys watches a video of a father playing catch with his son
An adult film star paints thumbnail portraits of elderly couples, fully clothed and smiling
A record executive records a demo of his apology
A policeman makes reverse 911 calls instructing residents to take to the streets
A patriot reports for duty
She's wearing an orange jumpsuit and holding a picket sign
She's ashamed of her birthplace
But retreat is not an option

Women and children
Frontline
Logon
Tune in
Stand and be counted
Wounded
Stationed
In the belly of the vulture
Watch your back
Theres no civilians
Women children
Frontline
Listen
Consider this a distant early warning
The fires imminent
Pollution gathering dust particles
Funneling through smokestacks
Airwaves
Bandwidth
Disinformation tube fed
Check the label
Delete the virus
Alert the masses

[spoken]
Butterfly wing crosswinds send black hawks toward hurricane survivors
Roses sprout from empty lots and sidewalk cracks
Pacifist guerrillas move undetected through concrete jungles
New forms are beginning to take shape
Once-occupied minds are activating
People are waking up
The insurgency is alive and well

Rise of the flobots
Portrait of the new american insurgent
Rattle and shake the foundation of the world order
Assembly line consent
Resist
Refuse
Inform
Create
Direct loved ones to the trenches
Suit up
Forge rubble into fortresses
Plaster
Cloth
Aluminum
Broken porcelain
Rusted platinum
Burn bloodstains from decompressed diamonds
Hammer the battlecry into braille-studded armor

[spoken]
We are building up a new world
Do not sit idly by
Do not remain neutral
Do not rely on this broadcast alone
We are only as strong as our signal
There is a war going on for your mind
If you are thinking you are winning
Resistance is victory
Defeat is impossible
Your weapons are already in hand
Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom
Fight with tools
Your fate and that of everyone you know depends on it

We are winning - Flobots
