[Cryozombie]

You don't have to say you're sorry
To look on further down the line
Into the sun
Too close at heaven
Love is fine
But you can't hold it like a gun

Two worlds apart two together
Into that good night kiss away
One takes the hard, one the other
Kiss away

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough?

Do you feel your head is full of thunder?
Questions never end?
Empty nights alone?
No wonder
It all comes back again

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I've been under the gun
I've lost and I've
1,2,3,4...


Forget the many steps to heaven
It never happened and it ain't so hard
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Short cut is better by far
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts
At a million miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metals
It's a semi-automatic, get in the car
Corrosive heart and frozen heat
We're worlds apart where we could meet
Where the street fold round and the motors start
And the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card
On the field of honour where the ground is hard
So the highest hand is joking wild
And the house soon fold and no one stand
I put my finger on and dialled
The tower, the moon, the gun and
Nine nine nine, singer down
Cloudburst and all around
The first are last, the blessed get wired
The best is yet to come
I put my finger on and fired
Heat-seeking, out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger
Everything under the gun

UNDER THE GUN - Sisters of Mercy

[shesulsa]

Heard this one for the first time in a long while yesterday. I'm in a weird mood, so I thought I'd share it ... remember, I have kids. :shrug:

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this - The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Riding The Storm

[Music: Kasparek, Lyrics: Kasparek]

Breaking the waves, a ride on the wild raging sea
Playing with fortune, oh, what a lust to be free
Flashlights and thunder, the pattering rain on the hull
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom

Face in the wind, we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, we're riding the storm

Cracks in the planks, the rigging moves upwards and down
Staggering masts, the pounding splash of the prow
The wind in our sails, our flag flies high on the top
From a stormy horizon we get our course
The cry of freedom

Face in the wind, we're riding the storm
We'll stay our course whatever will come
Wandering souls in the sea of the damned
Death or glory, oh, we're riding the storm

[Bob Hubbard]

Heart Of Steel

[Joey DeMaio]

Build a fire a thousand miles away to light my long way home
I ride a comet
My trail is long to stay
Silence is a heavy stone...
I fight the world and take all they can give
There are times my heart hangs low
Born to walk against the wind
Born to hear my name
No matter where I stand I'm alone

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
say what you feel
Born with a heart of steel

Burn the bridge behind you
Leave no retreat
There's only one way home
Those who laugh and crowd the path
And cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow
They'll watch us rise with fire in our eyes
They'll bow their heads
Their hearts will hang low
Then we'll laugh and they will kneel
And know this heart of steel was
Too hard to break
Too hard to hold

Stand and fight
Live by your heart
Always one more try
I'm not afraid to die
Stand and fight
Say what you feel
born with a heart of steel

[Bob Hubbard]

Master Of The Wind

In the silence of the darkness when all are fast asleep
I live inside a dream calling to your spirit
As a sail calls the wind, hear the angels sing

Far beyond the sun across the western sky
Reach into the blackness find a silver line
In a voice I whisper a candle in the night
We'll carry all our dreams in a single beam of light

Close your eyes, look into the dream
Winds of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

Falling stars now light my way
My life was written on the wind
Clouds above, clouds below
High ascend the dreams within

When the wind fills the sky the clouds will move aside
And there will be the road to all our dreams
For any day that stings two better days it brings

Nothing is as bad as it seems
Close your eyes, look into the dream
Wins of change will winds of fortune bring

Fly away to a rainbow in the sky gold is at the end for each of us to find
There the road begins where another one will end
Here the four winds know who will break and who will bend
All to be the master of the wind

This is on the Shrek motion picture soundtrack. Beautiful song.

[Flying Crane]

My wife just brought this song to my attention yesterday. It's by Death Cab for Cutie, called I'll follow you into the Dark. I think it's beautiful




Love of mine, some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark

[Kreth]

It's by Death Cab for Cutie
Is it just me, or do bands today have some really stupid names?

[Cryozombie]

Is it just me, or do bands today have some really stupid names?

Yes. All the good names are taken already.

Im gonna Call my band Kreth and The Holograms

[Kreth]

Im gonna Call my band Kreth and The Holograms
Cool, as long as I get royalties. :p

Seriously though, Los Lonely Boys, Hoobastank, Wolfmother?

[Jenna]

Hey everybody :) this is great I just stepped out for some foil ;) and come back to all this here good stuff.. wow

hey but it is all true nobody says why they like these lyrics.. are they just cool or what or.. tell me! tell me! tell me! I dunno.. I listen to a lyric and if I am in a particular mood then there is a lyric just right for it.. I am not sure if maybe you guys think of your lyrics as like poetry or something?? pffft.. For me if a lyric does not speak to me bout ME then it might be big and clever but it is nothing to me.. anyways.. I am talking to myself again! ha! ahh.. I am in a big hissy huff since nobody is talking to me or even telling me why these lyrics are any better than Tangerine Trees and Marmalade Skies! (still your friend tho :))


for Techno
Ok mister Technopunk my friend.. I am sorry you are still riding the loop around and round on that same train and since I am not able to derail you then I will help you shovel coals into the boiler.. i doubt you would be familiar with this but take it for what it is worth

The Cure.. Strange Day


give me your eyes
that I might see the blind man kissing my hands
the sun is humming
my head turns to dust as he plays on his knees

and the sand
and the sea grows
I close my eyes
move slowly through drowning waves
going away on a strange day

and I laugh as I drift in the wind
blind
dancing on a beach of stone
cherish the faces as they wait for the end..
a sudden hush across the water
and we’re here again...

and the sand
and the sea grows
i close my eyes
move slowly through drowning waves
going away
on a strange day

my head falls backs
and the walls crash down
and the sky
and the impossible
explode
held for one moment I remember a song
an impression of sound
then everything is gone..
forever

a strange day...

For Shesulsa
Wow! You would have NO idea how much I am in love with this song (though I only know it as done by the phenomenal Jeff Buckley..) when I hear it I am just beside myself I could not even explain.. oh well.. shut up Jenna.. nobody even cares bout WTH you think. .. Anyways I got something for you I think you would know.. just for you.. Iggy Pop.. Lust For Life which I am being presumptuous and but I think is a good fit for you..

For Flying Crane
Oooh Michael.. you are bang on the money with these guys .. well done! and I do not know if I have given this already but I gotta point you to Transatlanticism (the album) if you get the inclination.. and in particular the track of the same name.. I am sure I have listed this already somewhere.. if you get a chance to listen to it with the music you will understand what I mean.. :)

And but guess what.. ha! I aint gonna give you that lyric.. its on the thread somewheres.. but I got something even better.. this here is for me one of the most inspirational and uplifting songs I have EVER heard in my life.. I really do mean like ever.. and PLEASE go get this album from the wonderful and gorgeous boys from Embrace and the album is This New Day and but this track I get goosebumps at every single listen.. EVERY listen.. it never means any less to me no matter how many times I hear it it never dulls.. a truly unbelievable piece of music.. I could cry at hearing this song it is so beautiful.. I promise TWO listens and you will not be the same person as before you heard it! I guarantee that!! hey look at me here.. I am trying my best for ya.. I will educate the world if it kills me :)

Embrace.. Natures Law


I tried to fight the feeling.. the feeling took me down
I struggled and I lost the day you knocked me out
Now everythings got meaning and meanings bring me down
Im watching as a screening of my life plays out

Every day I fight these feelings
For your sake I will hide the real thing
You can run all your life.. all mine I will chase

You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
You should never fight your feelings
You have to follow natures law

Ill live with never knowing.. if knowings gonna change
Ill stop the feeling growing I will stay away
Like a broken record stuck before a song
A million beginnings.. none of them the one

Every day I fight these feelings
For your sake I will hide the real thing
You can run all your life.. all mine I will chase

You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
You should never fight your feelings
You have to follow natures law

I wrote her letters and tried to send them
In a bottle I placed my hope..
An SOS full of good intentions sinking
Will you give it to me .. dont make me wait
You build me up knocked me down
But I will stand my ground
And guide this light that Ive found

You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
If you let them show youll keep them
I know youre hurt but soon youll rise again.. again.. again..

You should never fight your feelings
When your very bones believe them
You should never fight your feelings
You have to follow natures law

For Kreth
Oooh did I hear the name Wolfmother? Yummy.. ahh NOW you are right up to date mister Kreth.. ha! there is me thinking you were only one for the old skool classics.. Wolfmother.. woohoo.. see the Aussies can rock it rightly too.. not as well as the Brits though, ha! Wolfmother remind me of Zepp, only not so arty clever maybe.. oooh if you had this on your playlists see I would be interested but maybe you just mentioned in passing because of the unorthodox name? Hey if you are ever feeling adventurous.. check out Archie Bronson Outfit.. maybe a little leftfield for you my friend but they are well worth the handful of listens it takes to really fully appreciate.. its brilliant and might be a little inspiration for your songwriting.. not your thing maybe but hey.. FREE YOUR MIND!!!! go on.. I got the key for ya right here!! ha!

[Kreth]

Oooh did I hear the name Wolfmother?
Decent band, stupid name. Now since I must supply lyrics, here's another one we'll be trying out soon: Buckcherry's Crazy *****. The rhythm reminds me of Aerosmith's classic Sweet Emotion and well, I don't think there's any hidden meanings in the lyrics: :lol:

All right!

Break me down, you got a lovely face
We're going to your place
And now you got to freak me out
Scream so loud, getting ****in' laid
You want me to stay, but I got to make my way

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

Take it ALL, the paper is your game
You jump in bed with fame
Another one night paid in full, uh
You're so fine, it won't be a loss
Cashing in the rocks, just to get you face to face

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

Get the video
**** you so good
Get the video
**** you so good

Crazy *****
Crazy *****
Crazy...*****

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back, come on

Baby girl
You want it all
To be a star
You'll have to go down
Take it off
No need to talk
You're crazy
But I like the way you **** (with) me

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on

Hey
You're a crazy *****
But you **** so good, I'm on top of it
When I dream, I'm doing you all night
Scratches all down my back to keep me right on
You keep me right on

You're crazy
But I like the way you **** me

[Jenna]

Decent band, stupid name. Now since I must supply lyrics, here's another one we'll be trying out soon: Buckcherry's Crazy *****. The rhythm reminds me of Aerosmith's classic Sweet Emotion and well, I don't think there's any hidden meanings in the lyrics: :lol:

My my my mister Kreth what sort of rowdy establishments must you and your musical quartet be frequenting if this is on your songsheet?? LOL.. bawdy houses and licentious and louche speakeasys, ha! nope dont look like naughty ol Buckcherry were much in the mood that day for cogitating the meaning of existence.. LOL.. ok well I would not pretend to know what was behind all those asterisks and whatnot so in the name of research I went and checked out their vid on the site and omg I had to wash out my eyes with astringent soap and then dry them off with 60 grit sandpaper ewww.. ha!

OK well I got nothing to follow that which might be on such an um.. obvious level, ha! But here is something I just KNOW you will appreciate.. ;) :D Now heres a fella who knows how to treat a girl right ;) though I guess "girl" is a loose definition in this case, ha! I like the ending of this verse.. how prophetic ;) no I didnt make it up :)

George Michael.. Fastlove


I won't bore you with the detail baby.. You gotta get there in your own sweet time
Let's just say that maybe you could help to ease my mind
Baby, I ain't Mr. Right
But if you're looking for fastlove.. If that's love in your eyes
It's more than enough.. Had some bad love
Some fastlove is all that I've got on my mind
..Get yourself arrested for love

[Xue Sheng]

For Xue Sheng..
Hey mister Xue Sheng.. :) thank you for posting up here for me.. and I never got to ask you bout your Id and I know xue means to learn so I am thinking you are a little learner still? Yes I know you are a big fancy expert with a great deal of knowledge but you are saying you are still learning new things and that is an admirable quality for anyone to possess.. sorry I am off on one.. I would love to know if this lyric means anything to you personally.. yep it is bout the gorilla and the narrators swapping places and the ape takes the guys Beemer and his apartment.. ha! I have never heard this and I am having trouble acquiring it.. but that is a right laugh! and but what is that to you I wonder??? *strokes beard pensively* But here is one for you if you care for it.. I am only guessing at your musical palate but well we cannot go wrong with a little of the Byrds (well that is the version I am listening to I know there are others) and I wonder why they do not write thoughtful lyrics like these.. too lazy I guess.. nobody has such ideology in our times perhaps..



Correct Xue Sheng means student

As for the song, I have always liked the fact that a Gorilla not only took over his life but no one seemed to notice and seeing how things turned out for the Gorilla where was he actually better off. Who was the better for the change. Also "Gorilla, You're a Desperado" seemed more appropriate than "Things to do in Denver when you dead" at the time.

Song: Gorilla, You're a Desperado
Album: Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School
Artist: Warren Zevon


I know you are a big fancy expert with a great deal of knowledge

aaaa thank you but no, I have way to much to learn.

I think you have me confused with someone else.

Seriously.. thank you again! Hey you must listen to other music too, no? Go on.. got more lyrics to feed me? :) that Warren Zevon was an interesting little education I am always glad of! Go on.. gimme gimme gimme :) ahh see I have prolly frightened you away.. come back come back! LOL

Nope, didn’t scare me away.

However my musical taste is a bit eclectic (Mozart to Motorhead) and I am certain I have lyrics in it somewhere that could scare most people away.

But lets go with “Wherever I May Roam”, and this ain’t one of the scary ones.

Wherever I May Roam

...and the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her I do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all I need

...and with dust in throat I crave
Only knowledge will I save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars I've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

...and my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reign
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will

But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And I'll never mind anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

But I'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind
And I'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I may roam
Where I lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still I roam
Wherever I may roam

yay you came back! and a super choon too.. ohh yes please.. Black album is never too far away from the top of my playlist either!! Mozart to Motorhead, eh? well I like a little eclecticism too.. absolutely! and since I cannot give you a lyric for Rondo Alla Turca I will give you not more Lemmy but a little Killing Joke.. I love these guys no matter what anybody says bout them.. I love this lyric I think it is supremely thoughtful and considered and well.. it means a great deal to me .. anyways.. I really hope you like.. :)

Killing Joke.. Youll Never Get to Me


Sea of hurt I feel the waves of pain
And now the tides come in again
Caught in a vicious cycle of despair
Give me the courage to face another day

Oh sing a song of joy! Sweet childhood! never desert me
Time for celebration oh! overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me! SURVIVAL is my victory

I sighed in silence I was mourning
I said sorry a thousand times
I cried aloud to God for all my failings
But God seemed deaf as well as blind

Oh sing a song of joy! Sweet childhood! never desert me
Time for celebration oh! overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me! SURVIVAL is my victory

We drank and smoked and talked until the dawn
We shared our problems and our food
Telling tales of courage and resolution
Through all the hardships wed endured

Oh sing a song of joy! Sweet childhood! never desert me
Time for celebration oh! overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me! SURVIVAL is my victory

[OUMoose]

My musical tastes are quiet varied, as others here have noted. Personally, one genre of music that always somehow fits underneath everything is the ethereal/neo-classical/darkwave style. It really is too bad music labeled as "gothic" has had such negative connotations put on it like "emo". :idunno:

Anyways, one of my favorites is a duo that a friend turned me on to a number of years ago. The group is The Machine in the Garden, and the song is called "These Illusions"...

--

in the shadows of the night
illusions show
the reflection of a voice
of illusion

how to find
these illusions
keep them locked away
inside of illusions
in the shadows of the night
illusions show
the reflection of a voice
slips down walls

it glistens in the snow
and now and then
heavens collide and burst
in tattered stars

their eyes pass us by
left alone
regain calamity
peering downward

the doors spin around
the mazes in my mind
holding their fears close
strangely shy

taken to dream forever
by my side
they can't know anyway
all the time

my hands drive you
far out of site
can't leave it now
the oceans flow inside

Hey OUMoose :) you are another one with a mesmeric avatar! :) does that summarise you I wonder? with the exploding head of ideas or maybe stress, ha! the Machine in the Garden? Cool I have not heard this before.. ahh but you are correct to say goth is almost a derogatory term.. how did that happen?? and when I hear someone mention emo I gotta turn my ears away and which is a pity.. yeah there was a lot of pretense around "goth" but we all know what we are talking bout I think.. hey I do like the lyric thank you!! I must go see if I can procure the track.. got more lyrics for me??? OK well goth you say, eh? or sorry.. how did you say it.. "ethereal/neo-classical/darkwave style".. ha! yes I bet that is an icebreaker for you at all your parties, LOL.. ok well I dunno if there is much more goth than this from way back thru the mists of time, ha! This track is just SO amazingly creepy musically and a little risque I think lyrically but hey.. I can dig that ;) and I do not think there is anything else I have ever heard similar.. she was always such an um.. intriguing character.. I am sure this is familiar to you and hope you like :)

Siouxsie and the Banshees.. Peek-a-Boo


Creeping up the backstairs.. slinking into dark stalls
Shapeless and slumped in bathchairs.. furtive eyes peep out of holes
She has many guises.. shell do what you want her to
Playing dead and sweet submission.. cracks the whip deadpan on cue
Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo

Reeking like a pigsty.. peeling back and gagging free
Flaccid ego in your hand.. chokes on dry tears can you understand?
Shes jeering at the shadows sneering behind a smile
Lunge and thrust to pout and pucker into the face of the beguiled
Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
Golly jeepers whered you get those peepers?
Peepshow creepshow where did you get those eyes?

Strobe lights pump and flicker.. dry lips crack out for more
Come bite on this rag doll baby.. thats right.. now hit the floor
Theyre sneaking out the back door.. she gets up from all fours
Rhinestone fools and silver dollars curdle into bitter tears

Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
Golly jeepers whered you get those weepers?
Peepshow creepshow where did you get those eyes?

[Kreth]

Well, since Jenna's thread seems to have stalled, I'm going to post some lyrics I wrote for what will hopefully become my bands first original. No idea for a name yet, but we ran through it today during rehearsal and I think it will work:
Hit the stage, the music starts, the mayhem begins
The sound rips through your chest in a malevolent blend
A carnal urge compels you, inhibitions destroyed
No one can stop the madness, it's the kind we enjoy
Chorus:
Can you feel it, Shank is coming for you
The music takes you, puts you on the floor
Can you feel it, Shank is coming for you
With sweat and noise, until you scream for more

Moving to the thunder in a violent waltz
We like to see the action, nothing like it at all
Bodies flailing, slick with sweat, and fists held high
A siren song of motion that you just can't deny

(chorus, solo)

The musical assault continues on through the night
A wall of sound and fury with no end in sight
The atmosphere of anarchy, it drives us to play
We'll pound out the aggression 'til they lock us away

(chorus x2)

[mrhnau]

Alegria
I see a spark of life shining
Alegria
I hear a young minstrel sing
Alegria
Beautiful roaring scream
Of joy and sorrow,
So extreme
There is a love in me raging
Alegria
A joyous,
Magical feeling

From Cirque du Soliel. Just a beautiful song. This song always picks up my spirits and prompts a smile. I'll stick up some more of my favorites when I get the time :-)

[shesulsa]

Just to mix things up a bit and in dedication to my wonderful friends in the Great White North ... from the creators of Ren and Stimpy comes ...

The Anthem of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.

Our country reeks of trees
Our yaks are really large
And they smell like rotting beef carcasses.
And we have to clean up after them
Our saddle sores are the best
We proudly wear women's clothing
And searing sand blows up our skirts.

And the buzzards they soar overhead
And poisonous snakes will devour us whole.
Our bones will bleach in the sun.
And we will probably go to ****
And that is our great reward
For being the-e Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen!!

*Repeat*

[Jenna]

For Kreth

Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel.. White Lines (Dont Do It)


Bass!

(Oooh White.. White.. Oooh White.. White.. Oooh White.. White)

(Ooooh.. White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High rise) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along but white lines blow away.. Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

Ticket to ride white line highway.. tell all your friends they can go my way
Pay your toll.. sell your soul.. pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay the more you pay.. my white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein with nothin to gain except killin your brain

(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! .. Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher baby
(Ahhh) Get higher baby
(Ahhh) Get higher baby
And dont ever come down! (Freebase!)

(Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang .. Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang .. Rang dang diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang diggedy dang di-dang)

(Pipeline) pure as the driven snow
(Connected to my mind) and now Im havin fun baby!
(High rise) its getting kinda low
(Cause it makes you feel so nice) I need some one-on-one baby!
(Dont let it blow your mind away) Baby!
(And go into your little hideaway cos white lines blow away.. Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

A million magic crystals painted pure and white
A multi million dollars.. almost overnight
Twice as sweet as sugar.. twice as gritty as salt
And if you get hooked baby .. its nobody elses fault so dont do it!

(Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Aaah! Blow!)

(Ahhh) Higher baby
(Ahhh) Get higher baby
(Ahhh) Get higher baby
And dont ever come down! (Freebase!)

(Dont you get too high) dont you get too high baby!
(Turns you on) you really turn me on and on
(Cos you gonna come down) my temperature is risin
(When the thrill is gone) no I dont want you to go

A street kid gets arrested.. gonna do some time
He got out three years from now just to commit more crime
A businessman is caught .. with twenty four kilos
Hes out on bail and out of jail and thats the way it goes

(Cane! Sugar! Cane! Sugar! Cane!)

Athletes rejected.. governors corrected..
Gangsters thugs and smugglers are thoroughly respected
The money gets divided.. The women get excited..
Now Im broke and its no joke.. its hard as hell to fight it dont buy it!

(Freeze! Ha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Aaah! Blow!)

(Ahhh) Get higher baby
(Ahhh) Get higher girl!
(Ahhh) Get higher baby!
Cmon!

(White Lines) Vision dreams of passion
(Blowin through my mind) and all the while I think of you
(High rise) a very strange reaction
(For us to unwind) the more I see the more I do
(Something like a phenomenon) Baby!
(Tellin your body to come along but white lines blow away.. Blow! Rock it! Blow!)

Little Jack Horner sitting on the corner.. with no shoes and clothes
This aint funny but he took his money and sniffed it up his nose!

(Hey man you wanna cop some blow?)
(Sure what you got dust flakes or rocks?)
(I got China White Mother of Pearl Ivory Flake What you need?)
(Well yeah well let me check it out man just let me get a freeze)
(Go ahead man .. stuff I got should kill ya!)
(Yeah man th-thats thats raw.. ugh)

(Freeze! Ha ha ha! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock! Freeze! Rock!)

For mrhnau :) hey there.. tell me if you ever stop by again.. what does your ID mean??? anyways.. Cirque de soleil sounds very arty and whatnot.. I can only guess at your tastes.. but fortunately I got a good stock of "uplifting" songs to satisfy my great need for them.. Heres one you might not have heard (or heard for a while) its a great thumpin electro I remember from back at the start of the 90s..

The Source Ft Candy Staton.. Youve Got the Love


Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying Lord I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through

Sometimes it seems the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then I feel like life is just too much
But youve got the love I need to see me through

When food is gone..
You are my daily meal
When friends are gone
I know my saviours love is real.. your love is real

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying Lord I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through

Every once in a while I say Lord I cant go on
Every once in a while I get to feeling blue
Every once in a while it seems like I am all alone
But you got the love I need to see me through

Occasionally my thoughts are brave and friends are few
Occasionally I cry out: Lord what must I do!
Occasionally I call up: Master make me new!
Youve got the love I need to see me through

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying Lord I just dont care
But youve got the love I need to see me through

Dayseee Dooook

..from the Dukes of Hazzard theme choon!! :D


Just the good ol boys never meaning no harm
Beats all you never saw.. been in trouble with the law since the day they was born

Straightening the curves.. flattening the hills
Someday the mountain might get em but the law never will

Making their way the only way they know how
Thats just a little bit more than the law will allow

Just two good ol boys wouldnt change if they could
Fighting the system like a too-modern day Robin Hood

[Xue Sheng]

No reason, I just heard it today and I have not heard this song in a long time.

The full catastrophe of life
John Cougar

I've ridden down Sunset
I drank expensive wine
I've been married 2 dozen times
Raised ten children on a workman's pay
And I'm glad to say I've enjoyed everyday
Of the full catastrophe of life

I've sat in courtrooms
had people call me names
I've been to London town
On a supersonic plane
I was lovin' your wife
While you were lovin mine
And I'm glad to say I've enjoyed everyday
Of the full catastrophe of life

I've opened my belt to trouble everyday
Ain't looking for a fight
But you know I won't run away
From the full catastrophe of life

I've seen the goodness
I've known the baddest around
I was tattooed when it first came out
I shook the hand that showed Moses the way
And I'm glad to say I've enjoyed everyday
Of the full catastrophe of life

[Cryozombie]

Cuz I AM sex on wheels:

Sex on Wheels - My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult

i'll turn you on
like a tiger baby
hard body
motor city
love life
i'll take you for a ride
down the mindway baby
be my little human sacrifice
do my kisses burn
do they take your breath
you've got a lesson to learn now
i'm the kiss of death
history is written by winners baby
so let's make a little
of our own tonight
if you're thinkin' my idea of fun
is a drag
then you've never been to paradise
do my kisses burn
do they take your breath
you've got a leson to learn now
i'm the kiss of death
sex on wheelz

[Drac]

After a real bad shift I listen to "Bang on the drum all day" as a level that usually pull people over for...It helps...

[mrhnau]

For mrhnau :) hey there.. tell me if you ever stop by again.. what does your ID mean??? anyways.. Cirque de soleil sounds very arty and whatnot.. I can only guess at your tastes.. but fortunately I got a good stock of "uplifting" songs to satisfy my great need for them.. Heres one you might not have heard (or heard for a while) its a great thumpin electro I remember from back at the start of the 90s..


Thanks for the song Jenna :) I might drop in here once in a while...

Hnau is from a series of sci-fi books from CS Lewis. "The Space Trilogy". VERY entertaining if you like sci-fi at all :) Not too preachy, its a good read :)

Cirque de Soleil is kind of arty. I went to go see their Delirious production w/ my wife a few months ago and loved the sound. Alegria was their finishing tune. Its also a production in and of itself.

My musical taste are quite varied. I've enjoyed: Heavy Metal, worship, bluegrass, classical (I LOVE Les Mis, though strictly speaking not classical), punk, just about anything :) Only thing I don't like is most rap and most country. I guess its a bit odd I like bluegrass but not country :) A majority of stuff I listen to tends to be christian, though not strictly. Just depends :)

Lyrics are great, but they don't really convey the emotion of a song... This song, though extremely heavy, is one of my favorites and very moving to me. Group is called Ethereal Scourge. Close to what I'd call death metal.

Refuge

my life i lay it down
and bow before your throne
my life i give to you
by sacred blood i am your son
you're the fire that heats my veins
the power in my soul
by christ the serpent's bane
you are all the life i know
be warm my heart of stone
glowing by your hearth of grace
as my life is not my own
my darkened past you laid to waste
and my life is not my own
my corpse you sank without a trace

so let it be
now and forever
sovereign king
so let it be
i'm yours almighty lord
send me where you may
i praise your mercy touch of love
breathe and i will fly

and i will worship you
when the moon it bleeds and the sun is black
and i will worship you
when the earth breaks and the sky it cracks
all glorify your name

[Kreth]

For Kreth
Hey mister Kreth.. well how long til we see yous on Scuzz or Kerrang or even MTV2 Alternative, ha! Hey nice one!!
Maybe mp3.com. We're still tweaking it, completely changed the intro around last night. Now it has a nice dead stop in the middle of the intro just to keep people guessing.
I can't remember if I posted this yet, this is another new one we're working on. The Red, by Chevelle:
They say freak,
When you're singled out,
The red, well it filters through.

So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again.

This change, he won't contain,
Slip away, to clear your mind.
When asked, who made it show,
The truth, he gives in to most.

So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.

So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.
So lay down, the threat is real,
When his sight goes red again.

Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red again,
Seeing red....

They say freak...
When you're singled out.
The red, it filters through...

The first few times I heard this song, I thought it was Tool because of that one scream towards the end:
"Seeing reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed" :p

[Toby]

Does this count for originals too? If so... This is a song I wrote a while ago.

Opinions are welcome. :)

------------------
What Will Become?
------------------
It seems like this world is nothing like it used to be
And all the things I thought I knew have been taken away from me
Maybe this is why everyone is changing right before my eyes
And maybe it has something to do with me and how I feel inside

So many questions as to what makes us who we are today
Not enough answers to show from a world full of anguish and pain
So many confessions that we all have hidden away
What will become of those that remain?

What ever happened to the place that we once called home
It's all about the quest for power and by taking control
All it does is leave you with an empty and vacuous soul
Sucking the life out of you, turning your heart to stone

It seems like everyone is moving forward in everyway
While I'm making two steps back, much to my dismay
Looking back on the past, I wish that I did things differently
As I wonder how long this will last, is there anything left in me?

So many questions as to what makes us who we are today
Not enough answers to show from a world full of anguish and pain
So many confessions that we all have hidden away
What will become of those that remain?

Walls are closing in on me and there is no escape
These feelings that I have of confusion and delusion, I wish I could erase
And the harder I try to fight against this frustration that I hold inside
The more I feel like I'm walking a dead end road down the path of time

It seems like everyone else are the ones who make sense
And I'm just the one who watches from the picket fence
If only we could find the courage and strength to unify
Maybe then we would understand what we signify

So many questions as to what makes us who we are today
Not enough answers to show from a world full of anguish and pain
So many confessions that we all have hidden away
What will become of those that remain?

In times of the present, we must never forget that there is always hope
There may be terrorism and wars, hate and greed, lies and deceit
But there is always one thing that we have against those who want us to choke
And that is the strength to carry on, we will never banish our beliefs
------------------

[Xue Sheng]

Cuz I AM sex on wheels:

So when can we expect you to post the one hit of Right Said Fred :)

[Jade Tigress]

Does this count for originals too? If so... This is a song I wrote a while ago.

Opinions are welcome. :)



I like it alot. What type of music are you putting it to?

Here is one of my new fav's:

Hang out my window
And over your head
Stare at your feelings
To see where they end
You're waiting here
For someone else to break you
From the inside

You've been so composed
But we all know there's
Always something
Tearing you apart

It's always so much longer
Than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder
Than you thought
But you don't worry
You don't worry
Cuz you got soul


You're so heavy
You're so misunderstood
And I spent all my wishes
Wishing times were good
When I still could
Wait around here
For someone else to take me
Past the good side

You have been here so long
We all know there's
Always something
Tearing you apart
It's always so much longer
Than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder
Than you thought
But you don't worry
You don't worry
Cuz darling, you've got so much soul
Darling you've got so much soul

There's always something
Tearing you apart
It's always so much longer
Than you counted on
And it hits you so much harder
Than you thought, than you ever thought it would
But you don't worry
You don't worry
Cuz you don't worry
You don't worry
Cuz you don't worry
You don't worry
Cuz you got soul

[Cryozombie]

Crazy me, I was such a bad boy,
I guess you're gonna have to punish me.
I wont rest, I wont be forgiven,
Until you give it good to me.
Pull my hair and shake my chains,
make me bow my head in shame,
stand over me with a whip in hand,
I'll obey your every command!
Unleash!
Its allright, you can now get even,
for all the **** you put up with,
call me names, make me kneel before you,
I'll kiss your boots like a good little *****.
Paint my lips all ruby red,
zip leather around my head,
Push me push me till I drop.
Dont stop until you get off!
Unleash!

[Jenna]

For Xue Sheng
XS :) hey I havent heard John Cougar Mellencamp in some time.. thank you for the reminder! oh now dont be dissin Right Said Fred.. I am sure they had at least TWO hits :D and very worthy ones they were too.. anyways.. Id sit through that video just for those pecs!! LOL

Beck .. Cold Brains


Cold brains Unmoved Untouched Unglued .. Alone at last
No thoughts No mind To rot Behind A trail of disasters

A final curse .. Abandoned hearse .. We ride disowned .. Corroded to the bone

The fields of green are bent obscene .. I lay upon the gravel
And a worm of hope.. A hangmans rope pulls me one way or the other

A final curse .. Abandoned hearse .. We ride disowned .. Corroded to the bone

A bird of song is heard no longer in the evacuated heavens
The drain is drawn and drained and gone and on and on it doesnt matter

A final curse .. Abandoned hearse .. We ride disowned .. Corroded to the bone

For I've been a temptress too long

Hmm just.. give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be .. a woman .. I just wanna be a woman

From this time .. unchained .. were all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind .. a thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room

Yeah .. give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be .. a woman .. I just want to be a woman

So dont you stop being a man ..
Just take a little look from our side when you can
Sow a little tenderness.. no matter if you cry

Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be .. a woman .. I just wanna be a woman.. its all I wanna be is a woman

For this is the beginning of forever and ever
It's time to move over .. so I want to be..

Im so tired of playing.. playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away .. leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress too long

Hmm just.. give me a reason to love you

For mrhnau
Hey mr hnau :) thank you for explaining the etymology of your ID! :) And yes CS Lewis absolutely was an exceptional scholar and phenomenal author.. I have read much of him after a friend here from Ireland put me onto his history as being as interesting as his fiction!! I will admit though I have not read The Space Trilogy.. funnily I am a bigger fan of biog than fiction per se.. and but thank you I will certainly give this a go (and find out what youre about!! LOL) ..

As for the music.. yes I find it unusual that some folk like just one genre of music.. but each to their own.. Youre completely correct bout the lyrics they dont always stand up on their own.. there are exceptions tho! :) To be fair.. at the start of this thread I wanted just someone to share a lyric with me that meant something to them.. I have a modest collection of music which means I might have been able to listen along and feel what they felt too.. corny I know .. but hey I am just little miss corny thru and thru :) anyways.. people just post up lyrics without saying anything.. and but thats ok too :)

Well.. I havent heard of Ethereal Scourge, ha! I can only imagine how death metal overlaid with a message of salvation must sound!! Thanks for that..

Ok well.. one for you.. not overtly spiritual on the face of it.. it is for me though believe me

The Police .. Message In a Bottle


Just a castaway.. an island lost at sea oh
Another lonely day with no one here but me oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair oh

Ill send an SOS to the world.. Ill send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my.. I hope that someone gets my.. I hope that someone gets my..
Message in a bottle yeah.. Message in a bottle yeah

A year has passed since I wrote my note
But I should have known this right from the start
Only hope can keep me together
Love can mend your life but love can break your heart

Ill send an SOS to the world.. Ill send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my.. I hope that someone gets my.. I hope that someone gets my..
Message in a bottle yeah.. Message in a bottle yeah.. Oh message in a bottle yeah.. message in a bottle yeah

Walked out this morning dont believe what I saw
Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore
Seems Im not alone in being alone
Hundred billion castaways looking for a home

Ill send an SOS to the world.. Ill send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my.. I hope that someone gets my.. I hope that someone gets my..
Message in a bottle yeah.. Message in a bottle yeah.. Message in a bottle oh.. message in a bottle yeah

Sending out an SOS..
Sending out an SOS..
Im Sending out an SOS..
Im Sending out an SOS..

QoTSA .. Better Living Through Chemistry


The blue pill opens your eyes.. Is there a better way?
A new religion prescribed to those without the faith
A hero holding a knife.. And blood is not enough
Is it too late to go back? Is it too late to go?

Theres no one here
And people everywhere
Youre on your own

Lets see if Im hearing this right.. Is it just that I should take
The neverending supply to carry out the dead
Your idols burn in the fire.. The mob comes crawling up
Im reclaiming my mind .. Destroying everyone

Theres no one here
And people everywhere
Youre on your own

For Toby
Hey Toby are you still here??? :) Are you a guitarist?? Pianist?? *interested* Thank you for sharing your lyric.. To me it is almost despairing.. is there any optimism there?? I wonder what thoughts were in your mind when you wrote that.. Anyways.. What Will Become (of Toby??) :)

I love to play this (and attempt my usual rubbish accompaniment)..

Foo Fighters.. Walking After You


Tonight Im tangled in my blanket of clouds.. dreaming aloud
Things just wont do without you.. matter of fact..
Im on your back.. Im on your back.. Im on your back

If you walk out on me.. Im walking after you.. If you walk out on me.. Im walking after you

If youd accept surrender.. Id give up some more .. Werent you adored?
I cannot be without you.. matter of fact..
Im on your back.. Im on your back.. Im on your back

If you walk out on me.. Im walking after you.. If you walk out on me.. Im walking after you

Another heart is cracked.. in two.. Im on your back

I cannot be without you.. matter of fact..
Im on your back.. Im on your back.. Im on your back

If you walk out on me.. Im walking after you.. If you walk out on me.. Im walking after you

For JT
Hey JT :) Matchbox20 is that?? A friend of mines a real big fan of them even tho theyve more or less opted to stay on your side of the Atlantic! Thanks for this.. Heres one of my new favs too :) A beautiful piano riff.. The ever grandiose Muse..

Muse .. Starlight


Far away .. The ship is taking me far away .. Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight .. I will be chasing your starlight .. Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

And hold you here in my arms .. I just wanted to hold you here in my arms

My life .. You electrify my life .. Lets conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

But Ill never let you go if you promise not to fade away .. Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations .. Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations .. Black holes and revelations

Hold you here in my arms .. I just wanted to hold you here in my arms

Far away .. The ship is taking me far away .. Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

I'll never let you go if you promise not to fade away .. Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations .. Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations .. Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms .. I just wanted to hold .. You here in my arms

I just wanted to hold..

[Cryozombie]

hey these are very lyrical esoterical, ha!.. I dunno even what the second one is?? Hmmm.. idly made up in your head while you were refuelling your bike?? ;)



Ah, I did not make them up, however, I also expected no one would know them... it was a small industrial band, with a small release, that had almost no radio play... I had a ***** of a time finding their CD back in the day.

Without saying too much, the bondage theme in that song "works" for me.

:D

[Xue Sheng]

Feeling uncharacteristically jovial today so here’s one.

The Unbirthday Song Lyrics

Statistics prove, prove that you've one birthday,
one birthday ev'ry year.
But there are three hundred and sixty four unbirthdays.
That is why we're gathered here to cheer.
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you.
A very merry unbirthday to you,
It's great to drink to someone and I guess that you will do.
A very merry unbirthday to you

[Cryozombie]

When you don't see me...
It's not a matter of going to grow
It's not a matter of time or how I feel
I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now
What you see is what you never had
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...
Oh, it's kind of different when your there
You can lease the peace of mind
You bought a mask, I put it on
You never thought to ask me
If I wear it when you're gone
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...
You never learned
You bought me
Everything and less
I turned
You couldn't let me move
I guess, I don't deny, it don't disprove
What you see is what you lost
If I were you I wouldn't try
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disappear
When you don't see me...

cold, rainy days, a coffee and cognac, staring out the window of a cafe near an idle street.

Into my arms by Nick Cave


I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candle burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

[SFC JeffJ]

Vital Signs, Rush.

Unstable condition,
A symptom of life,
In mental and environmental change

Atmospheric disturbance,
The feverish flux
Of human interface and interchange

The impulse is pure;
Sometimes our circuits get shorted
By external interference

Signals get crossed
And the balance distorted
By internal incoherence

A tired mind become a shape-shifter,
Everybody need a mood lifter,
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form
Everybody got to deviate from the norm

An ounce of perception,
A pound of obscure
Process information at half speed
Pause, rewind, replay,
Warm memory chip,
Random sample, hold the one you need

Leave out the fiction,
The fact is, this friction
Will only be worn by persistence

Leave out conditions,
Courageous convictions
Will drag the dream into existence

A tired mind become a shape-shifter,
Everybody need a soft filter,
Everybody need reverse polarity
Everybody got mixed feelings
About the function and the form
Everybody got to elevate from the norm..

You say the hill's too steep to climb,
Climb it!
You say you'd like to see me try,
Climb it!
You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
The hill in my own way
just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling
Emotionless the magistrate turns 'round, frowning
and who's the fool who wears the crown
Go down in your own way
And everyday is the right day
And as you rise above the fearlines in the frown
You look down
Hear the sound of the faces in the crowd

[Rich Parsons]

Hello all my tough but squeezy Martial Talk friends :)

I hated Amsterdam yesterday so it’s Rotterdam today and it’s nice here and so many different voices and colours and faces in the one small place, and that gives a great perspective. Only problem is my dutch is VERY poor and I can't speak it without sounding like I got cake stuck in my throat, ha! Well, I was sitting earlier with the window open listening to all the tunes coming out of some apartment and some other open window across the block - I tell ya they had taste whoever they were and I was quite liking what I heard - the sort of music you would only listen to on your own even though they were blastin' it right loud! And I got thinking how music can sometimes be our friend where there ARE no friends, it can keep us company through our misery, or cheer us and lift us up and out; it can gee us up for fighting or calm our zeal and show us our hearts or remind us of where we are in the world and a million other things...

So.... I'd be appreciative if you can share a lyric or song that you spin up on your machine or in your car or on your pod when you're either feeling a certain way or WANTING to feel a certain way. No matter what your mood, I would love to hear what you’re hearing and how you hear it. A good chance I'll have it here on my little ipod 40gb just shy of full. I promise I will reply to everyone who takes the time to give me a lyric and I will give you one of my own in the same vein if I can, in fact I'll match ya one for one.

Thank you all SO very much :)

A friend of mine has just started a divorce and so not even thinking I pulled a CD out and put in the following:

Feelings

Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my
Feelings of hate

Imagine
Beating on your face
Trying to forget my
Feelings of hate

Feelings
For all my life, I’ll feel it
I wish I’d never met you
You’ll make me sick again

Feelings
Whoa, feelings
Whoa, feelings
Of hate on my mind

Feelings
Feelings like I never liked you
Feelings like I wanna kill you
Live in my heart

Feelings
Feelings like I wanna deck you
Feelings like I gotta get you
Out of my life

Feelings
Whoa, feelings
Whoa, feelings
Hate’s in my eyes

Feelings
Whoa, feelings
Whoa, feelings
You’re not very nice

Go!

Feelings
Whoa, feelings
Whoa, feelings
Hate’s on my mind

Feelings
Whoa, feelings
Whoa, feelings
Get out of my life

Feelings
Whoa, feelings
Whoa, feelings
Get out of my life

By The Offspring from their Americana CD Release


There are lots of other songs on the CD that have me reflecting on how I have changed over the last 7 years.

[Xue Sheng]

Both by Pink Floyd both appropriate for the day

Pink Floyd - One of these days

One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces


Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earthbound misfit, I

[HKphooey]

The Alarm

Blaze of Glory
It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
And you open up your heart and soul
But that's not enough for most.

I remember this much
There is nothing
You shouldn't speak of
If you got something to say
And there is no one
To be scared of
Just get them out of the way

Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
There is nothing left to hide

Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
And i'm learning how to hit back
I'm learning how to fight
(how to fight)

The law of the jungle says
You look after yourself
But i remember this much
I love as i be loved myself.

Don't forget what i told you now
When the question keeps on coming
It's "how much more can you take"
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
"shouldn't you be gone by now"

But you keep on
Going out in a blaze of glory
Setting your sights for the sky.
They can offer you anything at all
But your dreams must not be sold.

Going out in a blaze of glory
No price is high enough
I'm fighting back with feeling
I'm fighting back with love.

When the nails are biting into your hands
And the cross is heavy on your heart
Now is the time to really make a stand
(going out, going out, going out)
My hands are held up high.

Going out in a blaze of glory
Going out, going out, going out
Going out
Going out in a blaze of glory
My heart is open wide
You can take anything that you want from me
But you cannot take my soul

Going out in a blaze of glory
My hands are held up high
I'm learning how to hit back
Yes i'm learning how to fight

Going out in a blaze of glory
Going out with my heart wide open
Going out with my hands held high

Going out in a blaze of glory

Fighting back with love
Fighting back with love!
No price is high enough
To take my soul, to take my soul
To take my soul

It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high

Going out in a blaze of glory

[Cryozombie]

Just cuz Im thinking about her a lot this morning

In my mind you're here now even though you're far away
And I don't know if I'll even try to make it through today
Regenerate, recirculate now until my blood runs dry
And I'll never know the things I'm missing until the day I die
Well I lied when I said nothing, but I don't know what to do...

I just think about you
I think about you
I think about everything you did to me
But most of all I need to think about you

In my mind you're everything and I will never know
Why you needed me when I had nowhere else that I could go
Run around in circles now until my legs give out
But I look at the temptation and there's never any doubt
Well I lied when I said nothing but I don't know what to do...

I just think about you
I think about you
I think about everything you did to me
But most of all I need to think about you

I'm afraid I'm missing little pieces of my soul
But I never had a need for all the things I didn't know
Start from the beginning now and tell me everything
'Cause I'm lost without you, I don't think I'd do all this again
Well I lied when I said nothing but I don't know what to do... -Think, Sister Machine Gun

[exile]

Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowing into the night
People so busy, make me feel dizzy
Taxi light shines so bright
But I dont need no friends
As long as I gaze on waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
Chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets julie, Waterloo station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, don't want to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don't
Feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise

Every day I look at the world from my window
Chilly, chilly is the evening time
Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people swarming like flies round Waterloo underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don't
Need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

---The Kinks, Waterloo Sunset, 1967

[Jonathan]

I won't quote the whole song, but there's a line from U2's "The Fly" that I always liked:

It's no secret that a friend
Is someone who lets you help,
It's no secret that a liar
Won't believe in anyone else...

[jenngibbs2000]

SO LONELY
by The Police


Well someone told me yesterday
That when you throw your love away
You act as if you just don’t care
You look as if your going somewhere
But I just cant convince myself
I couldn’t live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart
So lonely
Now no ones knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or more
All made up and nowhere to go
Welcome to this one man show
Just take a seat they’re always free
No surprise no mystery
In this theater that I call my soul
I always play the starring role
So lonely

Pretty much any Police song or Coldplay song expresses exactly what I want to say...

Artist: The Servant Lyrics
Song: Cells Lyrics


It'll all click when the mortgage clears
All our fears will disappear
Now you go to bed
I'm staying here
I've got another level that I want to clear
My skin feels like orange peel
My eyes have been vacuum-sealed
My organs move like a squirm of eels
We should be more adventurous with our meals
They annoy me those who employ me
They could destroy me
They should enjoy me
We eat chinese off our knees
And look for each other in the TV screen

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you

On the city's skin they move on mass
Like a rash on the back of a manky cat
Now in I go like a fool
I can't resist dipping in the pool
I watch them watch me I watch them too
Across the street across the room
I dress myself like a charcoal sketch
My eyes are brown and my hair's a mess
They annoy me those who employ me
They could destroy me
They should enjoy me
We eat chinese off our knees
And look for each other in the TV screen

The sun goes up and the sun goes down
I drag myself into the town
All I do I want to do with you
Everyday I'm at my desk
At my desk I'm like the rest
All I do I want to do with you
The sun goes up..

The cells I am at the moment will soon die
But I will be here
Oh I'll still be here
The cells I am at the moment will soon die
But I will be here
Oh I'll still be here

The sun goes up…

Everyday everyday everyday...

[MA-Caver]

This has always been one of my favorites by the artist... but I've haven't figured out if he's singing about a real person or just being melencholy. But it's got some great one liners that make you appreciate yourself and anyone else you might care about.

Of Missing Persons
written by Jackson Browne
Your father was a rounder
He played that rock and roll
A leaper and a bounder
Down to his gypsy soul
The music was his angel
And sorrow was his star
And those of us who follow
Might hope to reach as far

They're walking slow in Houston
Speechless in D.C.
There's no way I could tell you
What he meant to me

Your mother's a survivor
She'll do what must be done
Her children will revive her
And help her see the sun
She almost knew that unison
But the singing stopped too soon
Now she shares the silence
With a man up in the moon

To speak of missing persons
Tonight there's only one
And we all carry with us what the man's begun

And you can sing this song
On July the Fourth
In the sunny south and the frozen north
It's a day of loss, it's your day of birth
Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth?

Your brothers are all older
And they'll take it in their stride
The world's a little colder
But manhood's on their side
Now you're the little girl-child
And you look so much like him
And he's right there inside you
Each time you want to sing

Sing of missing persons
Tonight there's only one
But he's where you can find him when it's said and done

And we will sing this song
On July the Fourth
From the sunny south and the frozen north
This will always be your day of birth
May you always see what your life is worth

A little googling can go a long way... here a review (alibet a poor one from Rolling Stone on the song/album...

From "Of Missing Persons," Browne's tune to Lowell George's daughter: "Your brothers are all older/And they'll take it in their stride/The world's a little colder/But manhood's on their side." What is being said here? That George's sons will take their father's death in stride? That George's daughter is forever condemned to grieve because she doesn't have manhood on her side
The Rolling Stone critic obviously hated the album but I don't... but then again... I'm not a critic aren't I? :uhyeah:

[JasonASmith]

[quote=JeffJ;606075]Vital Signs, Rush.

Dammit! You beat me to it!
There's something about the ending of that song that just destroys me...:wah: However, that song's ending is not as bad(for me) as the ending to 2112...That thoroughly destroys all of my defenses.

[shesulsa]

This just seems kind of appropriate with some current events in my life right now.


"Digging In The Dirt" - Peter Gabriel

Something in me, dark and sticky
All the time it's getting strong
No way of dealing with this feeling
Can't go on like this too long

[Chorus:]
This time you've gone too far [x3]
I told you [x4]
This time you've gone too far [x3]
I told you [x4]

Don't talk back
Just drive the car
Shut your mouth
I know what you are
Don't say nothing
Keep your hands on the wheel
Don't turn around
This is for real
Digging in the dirt
Stay with me, I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
Open up the places I got hurt

The more I look, the more I find
As I close on in, I get so blind
I feel it in my head, I feel it in my toes
I feel it in my sex, that's the place it goes

[Chorus]

I'm digging in the dirt
Stay with me I need support
I'm digging in the dirt
To find the places I got hurt
To open up the places I got hurt

Digging in the dirt
To find the places we got hurt
[x7]

[OUMoose]

As Shesulsa said, there's one song that really rings true with the events happening in my life right now. As painful as it is to listen to a "mainstream" song, I think it's pretty powerful.

Lyrics to "Hate Me" by Blue October:

Intro: (group of girls singing into an answering machine the chorus of "calling you")
(If you're sleeping are you dreaming
If your dreaming are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe you actually picked me.)

(next message overlayed from Answering machine)
(”Hi Justin, this is your mother, and it's 2:33 on Monday afternoon.
I was just calling to see how you ware doing.
You sounded really uptight last night.
It made me a little nervous, and a l... and... well... it made me nervous, it sounded like you were nervous, too.
I just wanted to make sure you were really OK,
And wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication.
You know I love you, and...
Take care honey
I know you're under a lot of pressure.
See ya. Bye bye”)

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months
it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart
is the one thing I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you
for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself,
you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so f****** far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!”
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?”

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
For you

---

Yeah... :(

[Touch Of Death]

My mother gave me two records when I was a three: diamond Girl and Warchild. Heres a little ditty I know by heart...


Brain storming habbit forming weary when some actress spearing spinless chilling lines.
The critics falling over her to tell themselves he's boring and really not an awefull lot of fun.
Well who the hell can he be when he has never had tea and doesn't even sit on toilette seats.
Court jesting never resting. He must be very cunning to assume an air of dignity.
And bless us all with a solitary promise. His lame brain antics and his jumping in the air.
And every night he is actualy sane. And, so, it must be all a game of chess he's playing.
But you see you're wrong Steve; its only solitare.

ahh Tull. I was just listening to Jethro Tull today.

Well, you got a big-jib crane waiting to pick you up.
Mmmm, you see those snakes that crawl, theyre just dying
To trip you up.
Live out in sad shacks at the back of town.
Hold your breath while we do you down
`cos were all kinds of animals coming here:
Occasional demons too.

Well, you got a nice apartment here with appliances and cd.
Were gonna leave your stereo, but well have your soul for tea.
Im not speaking of material things.
Gonna chew you up, gonna suck you in
`cos were all kinds of animals coming here:
Occasional demons too.

Smokestacks, belching black, were the have-nots in your shade.
How about a slice of life, how about some
Human trade?
Eat at the best table in town.
No headwaiter going to turn us down
`cos were all kinds of animals coming here:
Occasional demons too.

[Jade Tigress]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation in the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

[bushidomartialarts]

when it comes to uplifting lyrics, there can be only one.

manowar, heart of steel.

stand and fight
live by your heart
always one more try
i'm not afraid to die

stand and fight
say what you feel
born with a heart of steel.

'nuff said

[IRO-Bot]

In reply to the above Blue October lyrics, and since I've been listening to them, I'll post one of their more positive songs. One that really lifts me up when I hear it. Especially the last verse.

Blue October - "Overweight"

ever carried the weight of another?
for how long?
or walk as far as they need to recover?
for how long?

i want to carry a piece of who i was before
so when i hit the wall i really hit the wall
i want to tear away the death again
a whiter shade of ********** meth again
i want to stick to clues
i want to come unglued
i want to shape the world to fit the way you move
i should of listened for your dress size

i’ve grown up, i owned up do you remember me?
i showed up and so what if i'm the used to be
i'm here to tell you that i’m sorry i was sorry
but i’m happy that you're happy this is no longer about me
trade roles, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
let him be there through your beautiful cries
let him hold you up so you can touch all four of your skies
and live your life just like a dream without the pain of goodbyes
goodbye

ever carried the weight of another?
for how long?
or walk as far as they need to recover?
for how long?

i’ve been a drunk, disrespectful little street punk
unlock the back of my trunk, you see i take this bat
and bash my head into the street again
no ones around so i keep beating it
pull my hair back and look me in the eye
there’s a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy
it's the guilt of what reality has given me
making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity

when your sick you seem to think you failed eternally
and that the people you let in are only crumbling
i’m ********** sick of faking life and this recovery
when my decisions paved the road that lies in front of me
so to the friends that even call that i don’t call back
i hold you deep inside my heart upon a hill
it seems to hide sometimes to run away and wonder
i’m really sick of saying sorry but i will

ever carried the weight of another?
for how long?
or walk as far as they need to recover?
for how long?

are we scared to take the ride?
or dare to look inside...
i’m floating farther away
floating farther away
floating farther away... letting go

i wanna learn to walk with others as an equal
i wanna treat the ones who love me with respect
i wanna tell the world i’ll give them all a piggy back
and try to take away my negative affect
i wanna kiss a girl and know i'll never lie again
i wanna call my dad and tell him that i care
i wanna let my brother know he saved my life
a thousand times throughout the years
he's been the friend who's always there...

floating farther away
floating farther away
i'm floating farther away.....letting go

Remedy by Seether

Throw your dollar bills and leave your thrills all here with me
And speak but don't pretend I won't defend you anymore you see
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for you
My eyes don't need to see that ugly thing, I know it's me you fear
If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

I don't need a friend, I need to mend so far away
So come sit by the fire and play a while, but you can't stay too long
It aches in every bone, I'll die alone, but not for pleasure
I see my heart explode, it's been eroded by the weather here
If you want me hold me back

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

Hold your eyes closed, take me in
Hold your eyes closed, take me in

Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"
Frail, the skin is dry and pale, the pain will never fail
And so we go back to the remedy
Clip the wings that get you high, just leave them where they lie
And tell yourself, "You'll be the death of me"

The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) Lyrics

by Tom Waits


The piano has been drinking, my necktie is asleep
And the combo went back to New York, the jukebox has to take a leak
And the carpet needs a haircut, and the spotlight looks like a prison break
And the telephone's out of cigarettes, and the balcony is on the make
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And the menus are all freezing, and the light man's blind in one eye
And he can't see out of the other
And the piano-tuner's got a hearing aid, and he showed up with his mother
And the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
As the bouncer is a Sumo wrestler cream-puff casper milktoast
And the owner is a mental midget with the I.Q. of a fence post
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking...

And you can't find your waitress with a Geiger counter
And she hates you and your friends and you just can't get served without her
And the box-office is drooling, and the bar stools are on fire
And the newspapers were fooling, and the ash-trays have retired
'Cause the piano has been drinking, the piano has been drinking
The piano has been drinking, not me, not me, not me, not me, not me

[Xue Sheng]

No idea why but this is running through my Noggin today.

Beastie by Jethro Tull

From early days of infancy, through trembling years
of youth, long murky middle-age and final hours
long in the tooth, he is the hundred names of terror
creature you love the least. Picture his name before
you and exorcise the beast.

He roved up and down through history --- spectre
with tales to tell. In the darkness when the
campfire's dead --- to each his private hell. If you look
behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast, you
can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast.

Beastie

If you wear a warmer sporran, you can keep the foe at
bay. You can pop those pills and visit some
psychiatrist who'll say --- There's nothing I can do
for you, everywhere's a danger zone. I'd love to help
get rid of it, but I've got one of my own.

There's a beast upon my shoulder and a fiend upon
my back. Feel his burning breath a heaving, smoke
oozing from his stack. And he moves beneath the
covers or he lies below the bed. He's the beast upon
your shoulder. He's the price upon your head. He's
the lonely fear of dying, and for some, of living too.
He's your private nightmare pricking. He'd just love
to turn the screw. So stand as one defiant --- yes, and
let your voices swell. Stare that beastie in the face
and really give him hell.

[ArmorOfGod]

Beck
"Dead Melodies" off of the Mutations album (greatest album ever recorded):

-----------------------

Where will you go When this day is over
A gambler’s purse Lays on the road
Straight to your door Snakes have gone crazy tonight
Winding their way out of sight
A laugh, a joke A sentiment wasted
Seasons of strangers They come and go
Doldrums are pounding Cheapskates are clowning this town
Who could disown themselves now
Engineer, slow down this old train
Cinders and chaff Laugh at the moon
Night birds will cackle Rotting like apples on trees
Sending their dead melodies to me

[ArmorOfGod]

But I can't forget my favorite song of all time:


Leonard Cohen - Take This Waltz Lyrics

Now in Vienna there's ten pretty women
There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry
There's a lobby with nine hundred windows
There's a tree where the doves go to die
There's a piece that was torn from the morning
And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz with the clamp on its jaws
Oh I want you, I want you, I want you
On a chair with a dead magazine
In the cave at the tip of the lily
In some hallways where love's never been
On a bed where the moon has been sweating
In a cry filled with footsteps and sand
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take its broken waist in your hand

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz
With its very own breath of brandy and Death
Dragging its tail in the sea

There's a concert hall in Vienna
Where your mouth had a thousand reviews
There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking
They've been sentenced to death by the blues
Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture
With a garland of freshly cut tears?
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
Take this waltz it's been dying for years

There's an attic where children are playing
Where I've got to lie down with you soon
In a dream of Hungarian lanterns
In the mist of some sweet afternoon
And I'll see what you've chained to your sorrow
All your sheep and your lilies of snow
Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Take this waltz, take this waltz
With its "I'll never forget you, you know!"

This waltz, this waltz, this waltz, this waltz ...

And I'll dance with you in Vienna
I'll be wearing a river's disguise
The hyacinth wild on my shoulder,
My mouth on the dew of your thighs
And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook,
With the photographs there, and the moss
And I'll yield to the flood of your beauty
My cheap violin and my cross
And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist
Oh my love, Oh my love
Take this waltz, take this waltz
It's yours now. It's all that there is

David Sylvian - Red Guitar

I recognise no method of living that I know
I see only the basic materials I may use

If you ask me, I may tell you
It's been this way for years

I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul

I understand you're facing problems inside you
A certain difficulty of being that I know too

You may ask me why do I fail
Just when I'm needed

I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul

If you ask me, I may tell you
It's been this way for years

[Xue Sheng]

Nothing like reviving an old post
This song just seems to apply to my way of thinking today

Cut To The Chase Lyrics
Rush

It is the fire that lights itself
But it burns with a restless flame
The arrow on a moving target
The archer must be sure of his aim

It is the engine that drives itself
But it chooses the uphill climb
A bearing on magnetic north
Growing farther away all the time

Can't stop moving
Can't stop moving
Can't stop...

You may be right
It's all a waste of time
I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take
A danger I'm prepared to face
Cut to the chase

It is the rocket that ignites itself
And launches its way to the stars
A driver on a busy freeway
Racing the oblivious cars

It's the motor of the western world
Spinning off to every extreme
Pure as a lover's desire
Evil as a murderer's dream

Young enough not to care too much
About the way things used to be
I'm young enough to remember the future
The past has no claim on me

I'm old enough not to care too much
About what you think of me
But I'm young enough to remember the future
And the way things ought to be

Cut
Cut...

Cut to the chase
You may be right
It's all a waste of time
I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take
A danger I'm prepared to face
Cut to the chase
What kind of difference can one person make?
Cut to the chase

[MA-Caver]

I was thinking (and listening to some old Supertramp music) about some of my friends in the past and present and this song played... had to share it.


Know Who You Are
Band: Supertramp, Album: Famous Last Words
Written by Davies/Hodgson

Know who you are
There's a world wants to know you
Know where to go...
There's a world wnats to touch you
Feel all you can...
Let your heart speak and guide yu
Don't be afraid...
Of the love deep inside you.

Bring it out for everyone
When you smile we can see the sun
Bring it out for all to hear
Because you've so much to give
And there's so much to know
But if you wait for your moment
Well, it may never show.

Know who you are...
There's a new song inside you.
Weep if you can...
Let the tears fall behind you.

Bring it out for everyone.
When you smile we can see the sun,
Sing it out for all to hear
Because you've so much to say
And you've so much to do
And everyone's waiting,

Yes, it's all up to you.

Know who you are...
There's a world deep inside you,
Trust me if you can...
There's a friend to guide you.

[qi-tah]

Yay, a music thread! This is one from my mix tape i used to play to get myself psyched up for rugby matches... "Grip" by Henry Rollins. (from "The End of Silence".. top album!)

See me - put yourself in my place
Be me - put my eyes in yr face
Maybe then you'll see why this place terrifies me
And why i've got to get myself away
So hard to deal with the ones who aren't real
They continually blow my mind

No need - i've been burned enough times myself
You're like me - sometimes you scare yourself
The things that you think
And the way that you feel
Makes you think yr all alone
When you go outside
And try to find yrslef a familiar mind
It really lets you know yr on yr own
So unknown

When those walls close in around you
When all those about you doubt you
When the world can live without you
Get a grip and keep it
You see how hard they shove you
Hate yr guts and tell you they love you
Get a grip right now
you see how far you get pushed
How long they'll hold you down
Feed you lies
Drive you insane
Give you poison to kill yr pain

Know me - i see the fear in yr eyes
Pull back - there are some things to realise
So hard to deal with the ones who aren't real
It's unbelievable what they'll put you through
Twist you up inside
Filthify and punish your mind
You don't have to live like that
You've got to get yr self respect
Jump back, get yr self respect
You've got to jump back
Keep yr self respect intact
You've got to keep it like that
Your self respect

On another tack, i've always liked Morrissey and The Smiths... good music to drive to. I'm not going to write out the whole lyric to "Frankly, Mr Shankley", just the words that i can never resist belting out at the top of my lungs:

"But sometimes i feel more fulfilled
Making Christmas cards with the mentally ill
I want to live and i want to love
I want to catch something that i might be ashamed of"

Stupid lyrics to make me feel so light and happy, no?

[MA-Caver]

I'm not often into country music but saw this and was really moved by it. Watching the (real life married) singers looking at each other... you can see/feel that it was real.
Enjoy...

I Need You ~ Tim McGraw & Faith Hill
(Tim)
I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breathe
I wanna ride across West Virginia in the back seat of a Cadillac
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you
Like a needle needs a vein
Like my uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
And I need you
Like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son need the Holy Ghost
I need you

(Faith)
I wanna get lost in some corner booth, Cantina Mexico
wanna dance to the static of an AM radio
wanna wrap the moon around us, lay beside you skin on skin
Make love til the sun comes up, til the sun goes down again
Cause I need you

Like a needle needs a vein
Like uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you
Like a lighthouse needs a coast
Like the father and the son need the Holy Ghost
I need you, OOH I need you

(Tim)
I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
You know some cowboys like me go out like that
So I need you, whoa I need you
I need you I need you I need you, I need you

There is always a song to fit like a glove. Here is mine for now. I could listen to this an hundred times and still not hear it enough knowing every listen will make me yearn the more.. "Monday Morning 5.19" - Rialto
Jenna

At eight o'clock we said goodbye, that's when I left her house for mine. She said that she'd be staying in - well she had to be at work by nine. So I get home and have a bath, and let an hour or two pass; drifting in front of my TV, when a film comes on that she wants to see.

It's Monday Morning 5:19, and I'm still wondering where she's been, 'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine. And now it's almost six am, and I don't want to try again, 'cos if she's still not back then this must be the end.

.At first I guess she's gone to get herself a pack of cigarettes, a pint of milk, food for the cat, but it's midnight now and she's still not back.

It's Monday Morning 5:19, and I'm still wondering where she's been, 'cos every time I try to call I just get her machine. And now it's almost six am, and I don't want to try again, 'cos if she's still not back then heaven knows, what then, is this the end?

At half past two I picture her in the back of someone else's car - he runs his fingers through her hair... Oh you shouldn't let him touch you there!

Quick aside from the core to answer the above question. He is still alive, Jenna but sadly he is not destined for happy times ahead. The poor man has developed Alzheimer's :(.

As to lyrics, there are a few snatches of song and verse that are like touchstones to me at specific emotional times. The tone for me might not necessarily be the message the songsmith had in mind but that is the beauty of all art, after all, it's capacity for reinterpretation.

For me, when depression is snarling at my heels and the world seems a dark, dangerous place, nothing works better at sparking a light in the black than "It's Easy" by Boston. It might have been intended as a song about a specific 'love' but that chorus got me through more 'bad' days than any other:

Hey
I've got no place to be
And no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you can find
The time to stay with me
Oh I've got no time for wastin'
Gotta live a life when I can
I won't hide if you decide
To let me be your man

When I get close to you, not much to say
I get that same old feeling I had in my younger days

And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day

Hey
You know I would concede
And I think we both agree
You and I can testify
That love is what we need
Just take a look around you, livin' for the future is blind
I believe what we can achieve will soon be left behind

The things I try to say are so hard to find
If you doubt what your love is about it can ease you mind

And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day

Hey
I've got no place to be
And no one I'd rather see
I won't mind if you find
That you're in love with me
Well we got no time to worry
Gotta live a life when I can
I won't hide if you decide
To let me be your man

And I can show you the way
It's just a game we play
It's easy, takin' it day by day

[Jenna]

Quick aside from the core to answer the above question. He is still alive, Jenna but sadly he is not destined for happy times ahead. The poor man has developed Alzheimer's :(.

Yes, I was aware. I find Alzheimer's a loathsome affliction. I am tired of hearing of good people falling to it *sighs*

Absolutely, it can feel as though the songwriter is right there with us in the midst of it in our manic depression and we turn around and there they are off being a voodoo chil' or lost in their purple haze or.. ;)

Yep.. I get it.. I made the point of listening too. I always do :) The lyric makes sense.. Hey I would give you another and which was the idea at the beginning and but I do not think anyone reads these lyrics, only me! :) Boston, eh? Who'd of thought :)

Life is tough, can drive you out of your mind.
Don't give up, things are gonna be just fine. I
may not be the smartest. I may not be the
strongest. I'm happy just to be me, yeh, yeh, yeh,
yeh. Don't be afraid of missing the bus. You will
catch your bus. Don't be afraid of missing the
bus. You will catch your bus, catch your bus,
catch your bus, catch your bus. Find your dreams,
all you gotta do is try. Take a chance, why don't
you come out and play. I may not be the smartest.
I may not be the strongest. I'm happy just to be
me, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh. Life's too short, so don't
waste another day. Have some fun, come on, let's
have a good time! I may not be the smartest. I may
not be the strongest. I'm happy just to be with

'Adrenaline, keeps me in the game,
adrenaline you don't even feel the pain,
wilder than your wildest dreams,
when you're going to extremes,
you taste adrenaline.'

Chorus from adrenaline by Gavin Rossdale. Kinda relevant to a martial artist wouldn't ya think? Makes me feel like training.

[Jenna]

Hey there JadecloudAlchemist :) Thank you for this! I like any kind of mighty uplifting lyrics. Those there fit the bill for sure! The "catching the bus" motif reminds me of the Waterboys - This is the Sea..

Now I hear there's a train
It's coming on down the line
It's yours if you hurry
You've got still enough time
And you don't need no ticket
And you don't pay no fee
No you don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
Because that was the river..
And this is the sea.
Hey HyperShadow :) Thank you for this! A lyric to train by? That is an interesting concept. Of course as an Aikikai student, I am thinking more "Imagine all the people, living life in peace" :D ha! Only jokin'

[Live True]

Wow, I’m glad someone resurrected this thread, because it’s been a great read and some great songs for me to check out later! Like everyone here, I’ve got a wide taste in music (Beethoven to Black 47 to Muddy Waters), but I’m really a jazz and blues girl at heart, can’t get enough of the slide guitar and melancholy groove of Bonnie Raitt. So on this rainy/grey day. Two of hers:

Cry Like a Rainstorm

Life isn't easy
Love never lasts
You just carry on
And keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
I'm fancy free darlin'
And I've travelled round
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Tell me where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And howl like the wind
My thoughts are lost in memories
That keep me free
Know if all the stars were shining
They would not help me see
Don't you know that
Sometimes I'm up
Most times down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
You cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Well my life isn't easy
And my love never seems to last
So I'll keep on carrying on darlin'
I'll just keep moving fast
I turned off the highway
Pulled into town
And I'm still fancy free
And I keep travellin' round
Sometimes I'm up
Most times I'm down
Where can I run to
Tell me how have I sinned
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
So who shall I start with
Tell me how to begin
When you cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind
Cry like a rainstorm
And you howl like the wind





I will not be broken


That was then this is now
Found my way back here somehow
Knew you'd have to let me go
Told you once I told you so

Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be...

Someone other than who I am
I will fight to make my stand
Cause what is livin' if I can't live (javascript:void(0)) free
What is freedom if I can't be me

Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be...

I won't let you near it
I will let my spirit fly
Fly
High
Oh take me down

Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be...

So tell me
When you took the Practice Scholastic Aptitude Test did you know the answers or did you
guess?
You rely on gimmicks to amuse your fans and act all urban to jack up your soundscan,
what's the matter with you?
How come you rhyme monosyllabically, is atrophy shrinking your entire vocabulary?
Your style's like garbage cans, meant to be taken out on a weekly basis
Ever since your first record you've been in a state of suspended animation
You look like Snuffalupagous and australopithecus, me, cray, you, abacus
But enough about you, let's talk about me and how single-handedly I redefined the
science of radio astronomy
Making Noble Prize winners question their notions of reality
Oh but I digress, you play Sorry and I play chess
Queen's pawn to E3, checkmate
go get some percosets
Uh ha ha, ha ha
Careful with that mic Weezie
Do you really think it's that easy?
Mmm, this is really good ice cream, you want some of it?
Oh my bad, I didn't know you were lactose intolerant
Makes you pass gas, frightens all the girls away
The only friends you keep are those you pay
Always on the ready for the whack snack attack I carry sandwiches around in a
straight-edge style Jansport backpack
Got the gadget Q gave Bond, control your mind, make you jump in a pond
Quack quack, flap your arms leave you confused but completely unharmed
Uh ha ha, ha ha
Careful with that mic Weezie
Do you really think it's that easy?
Do you really think it's true?
That up above they can't hear you
Uh ha ha, ha ha
Now look here
Both you and I know the past ten years have been rather intense
I'm ashamed to admit that I've been fooled by the seductions of violence
People walkin around with ugly auras and at times I'm even tempted to seek the advice of
Dr. Laura
But I ignore her
And I take a deep breath and count to ten
Ain't gonna let it get under my skin
Take a deep breath and count to ten
Think of all the nice places that I have been
Like back when I was waging peace against the visigoths I was tutored in the ancient
mysteries by a wisened philosoph
Learned the polyrhythm of celestial time, and wait for the one to come and get it done,
to finish the rhyme
Uh ha ha
Careful with that mic Weezie
Do you really think it's that easy?
Do you really think it's true?
That up above they can't hear you
Uh ha ha, ha ha
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm
Uh ha ha, ha ha
Mmm hmm
Uh ha ha, ha ha
Mmm hmm, mmm hmm
Uh ha ha, ha ha

If you wanna hang out youve got to take her out; cocaine.
If you wanna get down, down on the ground; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues; cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna ride on; cocaine.
Dont forget this fact, you cant get it back; cocaine.
She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.

She grew up in an indiana town
Had a good lookin momma who never was around
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them indiana boys on an indiana night

Well she moved down here at the age of 18
She blew the boys away, it was more than theyd se en
I was introduced and we both started groovin
She said, I dig you baby but I got to keep movin
...on, keep movin on

Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again

Well I dont know what Ive been told
You never slow down, you never grow old
Im tired of screwing up, Im tired of goin down
Im tire of myself, Im tired of this town
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Honey put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come cause I cant stay long

Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again

T heres pidgeons down in market square
Shes standin in her underwear
Lookin down from a hotel room
Nightfall will be comin soon
Oh my my, oh hell yes
Youve got to put on that party dress
It was too cold to cry when I woke up al one
I hit the last number, I walked to the road

Last dance with mary jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin in and im
Tired of this town again

[lemon_meringue]

This is one of my absolute favourite songs, Dream On by Aerosmith:



Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isnt that the way
Everybodys got their dues in life to pay

Well I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know its everybodys sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know its true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream until your dream come true...
Also, anyone who hasn't already should check out The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Listen to Face Down, Damn Regret and Your Guardian Angel.

[celtic_crippler]

Always thought "Drive" by Incubus was a good one...

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the fear
Take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before
And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
It's driven me before
And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that
When I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

Would you choose the water over wine
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
I'll be there

She dont lie, she dont lie, she dont lie; cocaine.
Hey there :) Who did that choon??? That just reminds me of QOTSA.. :)


Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy and Alcohol..

All nasty stuff of course.. And did you know they only stopped putting cocaine in Coca Cola in 1908.. Ahh for a swizz of Vin Mariani, ha! :) I would rather have a WKD.. ;) J

[Jenna]

Always thought "Drive" by Incubus was a good one...

Hey there my crippling friend :) whatever happened to Incubus?? After ..Crow I never heard from them again.. Are they still around?? For me, they would never better the sweetness of Wish You Were Here.. reminds me of lost friends..

The world's a roller coaster. And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care. But my hands are busy in the air saying: I wish you were here..

[quote=Jenna;1020442]Hey there :) Who did that choon??? That just reminds me of QOTSA.. :)

I'm thinking Eric Clapton, but not sure if he redid it or it was his...and the other was Tom Petty (last dance with Mary Jane), right?

[Sukerkin]

Jenna, "Cocaine" was performed by Eric Clapton but was written by J.J. Cale, if I recall correctly.

[Touch Of Death]

Heres a good peice of Lyric by Jim Morrison: "I Know your deepest secret fear"... I love that one.

[MA-Caver]

I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song nor ever un-appreciate what the lyrics are saying.
.... I'm still running.


Time:
Artist: Pink Floyd
Album: Dark Side Of The Moon

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

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

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

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Since this thread is revived... This is mine latley...

"Teachers" - Sisters of Mercy (based on the Leonard Cohen song)



I met a man who lost his mind in some lost place I had to find
Follow me the wise man said, but he walked behind
I walked into a hospital where none were sick and none was well,
When at night the Sisters left, I could not walk at all.

Some girls wander by mistake into the mess that scalpels make.

Are you the teachers of my heart?
"We teach old hearts to break."

A met a woman long ago, her hair the black the black can go

Are you the teacher of the heart?
Soft she answered, "No."

I met a girl across the sea,
Her hair the gold that gold could be.

Are you the teacher of the heart?
"Yes, but not for thee."

I spent my hatred every place, on every work, on every face

Is my passion perfect?
"No! Do it once again."

Oh teachers are my lessons done? I cannot do another one,

They laughed and laughed and laughed and said,
"Child are your lessons done?"

I was handsome, I was strong, I knew the words of every song

Did my singing please you?
"No, the words you sang were wrong."

[kaizasosei]

i am she who is weak,
and i am well in a pleasant place

i am a mute that does not speak
and great is the multitude of my words

Barracuda of course by Heart Ann and Nancy Wilson man thise where Babes at one time.

[Sukerkin]

I quite agree.

I remember to this day the first time I heard "Barracuda" at a party in my mid-teen years. Wonderful ... then I got the album and saw that they looked as lovely as their music sounded :D.


http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=5&pictureid=573

Sadly, I have to confess that it is Britain that was responsible for Ann's ... erm ... enlargement. She discovered Newcastle Brown and Wrights Pies :(.

[Jenna]

Heres a good peice of Lyric by Jim Morrison: "I Know your deepest secret fear"... I love that one.
Ahh, great choice.. and I always liked the feel of Crystal Ship..
Before you slip into unconsciousness, I'd like to have another kiss. Another flashing chance at bliss..

I love Beck. The wry humor, often tinged with irony, in his songs just really makes me smile. This one in particular:

Debra,
Beck from Midnight Vultures

Great choice too.. and if you are a Beck fan I would share with you and know you would like if you can find it, a little song called "Songs of Love" by Divine Comedy and not the Ben Folds version which was not the original.. :) J


Awesome lyrics from Metalica's Damage Inc.

'Living on your knees conformity,

Smash the state !!!!!
Nice! Thanks! Though I prefer Fight Song meself I think.. :) J

I'm not a slave to a God that doesn't exist.. I'm not a slave to a world that doesn't give a ****
That reminds me of Six by Mansun - bet you have never heard of them!! Indie not metal so I am sure they are not on your shelf, ha! .. but go ahead and widen your horizons :)
And you see, I kind of shivered to conformity
Did you see the way I cowered to authority
You see, my life, it's a series of compromises anyway
It's a sham, and I'm conditioned to accept it all, you see

Since this thread is revived... This is mine latley...

"Teachers" - Sisters of Mercy (based on the Leonard Cohen song)
Good lyric.. Of course I wonder why? Ahh Sisters of Mercy.. I was more of a Mission fan..
She's got her head in the clouds..
She's got the stars in her eyes.. And she's dancing with a dream in her heart ...
Ahh, super stuff.

Heart?? Hmmmm.. maybe.. Not a bit, um, basic though?? Or was it not the music you were interested in?? Ah, now Kate Bush? Intelligent, clever lyrics, beautiful and haunting.. Mmmm, yes please :D Jenna

[Sukerkin]

:D

No, I heard the music first and only found out later how beautiful the sisters were :lol:.

Their tunes from the seventies are the embodiment of what electric folk/rock should be i.e. clean, structured, melodies with the various strands balanced and harmonised.

Nowadays everything is overproduced and too cluttered. Part of music, like any art, is the spaces 'between'.

Modern metal is wall-to-wall noise to my aged ears, in large part because there are no 'silences', no shape to the melody and no 'character' to the playing. I can listen to rock from earlier decades and probably tell you in short order who the guitarist was because they sounded different and had their own style. I couldn't do that now - oh dear, I appear to have grown old :O.

Ah yes, true, in part! But the modern metal ballad is no self-contradicting statement my friend! Here, have a swizz of the lovely Stone Sour.. outta the ashes of Slipknot and tell me what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIzDsGyxsQM

And here is another with a little more kick and but still sung with passion as always SOAD.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zlqMmK19S0

And best for last.. go on Suke, tell me this is not just the best.. OK, maybe not so much "metal" as proper rock.. Audioslave, wow, Chris Cornell is just the, um, biz, ahem.. ha! And but irrespective.. listen to the choon, the lyric, meaning (wow, never better) and the passion.. brilliant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdCfcjmxouo


Ok, I take your point.. not so much "white space" as they say in graphic terms. But you gotta admit.. good, no??
Hope you like :) Jenna

ah...kate bush...I just re-bought one of her albums for songs for my "baby cd"...lol....but yes, I love her sense of humour and ethereal sound...although I have found I have to be in the mood for her, as sometimes she's simply too high pitched for pleasure....lol

I don't want to de-rail this thread into a general discussion on music, so I'll answer Jenna via the Friends chat channel.

Hey Shana :) Yes, her older stuff was a little squeaky, Wuthering Heights and stuff.. I would recommend her last LP Aerial you will be able to lift lots oa choons for your little baby CD I promise! Oh and check the Placebo version of Running Up That Hill.. So heartfelt.. http://www.last.fm/music/Placebo/_/Running+Up+That+Hill

Hey MA-Caver, ahh, the one with the clocks.. I knew that rang a bell, teehee.. And do you take that as a downbeat song?? Do you not think it has a get-off-yo-ass-and-do-something kind of theme? Maybe not.. I guess it is a glass-half-empty or half-full question.. Me? All I need is two half-empty glasses and I am happy :) I did like David Gilmour On an Island though not too jam packed with lyrics was it.. but pretty chilled for Sunday mornings.. :)
Jenna

[Sukerkin]

Have a listen to Gilmours self-titled first solo album for some excellent songs. Probably my favourite guitarist of all time and certainly the creator of the greatest (short) guitar solo of all time in Comfortably Numb.

Hey Suke :) Man you been here all day and you still have not given me your cool lyric that goes with your mood Right Here, Right Now, Here Comes The Rain Again, London Calling, In The Evening, picture yourself on a boat on a river.. hey cheer me up Suke! It is my birthday today, I am 27 and I am wondering what is happening! :) Jenna

[Sukerkin]

I didn't know that, Jenna! Joyeux anniversaire, fair lady :hugs:.

A lyric for my mood now?

Hmmm ... a bit embarassing for an old biker like me but this Hilary Duff song, "Shine" is one that actually says how I feel about my missus and she's just come back from visiting her dad in hospital, so:

"Everyone knows that I'm ten feet under
Till you come along and brighten my day
Everyone knows that you kill the thunder
The roaring in my brain
You've given me the strength
To see right through the haze

Shine, come on and let it shine
Light me up, make me feel alive
You've got what it takes (shine on me today)
Shine, and only you know how to lift my spirit off the ground
And chase those clouds away
Shine on me today"

Hey Suke :) Thank you for sharing. There is nothing embarrassing bout diversity in what you like no sir.. I am listening while I type and that is a smashing little choon and I appreciate what it means and which is a far greater thing than the goodness of fit with our own stereotypes I think.. And so thank you again :)

And here is another one I can hardly hear without a tear I do not know why..

When you're down and out, when you're on the street, when evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part when darkness comes, and pain is all around.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.

And for the birthday wishes thank you my friend :) I have a smile :)

It's just come to my attention that I have been remiss in my duties of congratulating Jenna on her birthday! Happy Birthday Jenna! :-partyon:

Um....favorite song for my current mood?

It's the one currently playing on my myspace:

"The Curse" by Disturbed. Go have a listen and here's the lyrics:

Marked for demolition, I'm
Just a time bomb ticking inside
No hope for the hopeless,
I can see the pieces all laid out in front of me

No point even asking why
Couldn't help even if you tried
Step aside or you might just
be the next contestant
To feel the Brutality!

Devastation, Obliteration
Are on to the point of Exacerbation
There's no explaining my situation,
Now why does this **** keep happening to me?

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

Too dark for forgiveness, I
Can't seem to do anything right
When I try to rebuild I see my humble shelter
Just fall to the ground again

Object of an evil eye,
No point to let anyone try
Take heed my friend lest you be torn asunder
Like all that's become of me

Decimation, Disintegration
Now beyond the point of imagination,
There's no explaining my situation
Now why does this **** keep happening to me?

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

I'm just at that point right now where the problems look bigger than they are but are all in my face at once and I'm finally just like, "you know what? **** It, they're on my left, they're on my right, they're in front of me and they're behind me--THEY CAN'T GET AWAY THIS TIME.

[Jenna]

Um....favorite song for my current mood?

Wow Andy that is a powerful lyric right there my friend.. And for sharing I will give you one back that I do not believe would be your "thing" and but hey do me a favour and open your ears to the motif.. from years and years ago.. I think it is maybe the square peg for the square hole. :) Jenna

http://www.last.fm/music/The+Cure/_/Fight

so when the hurting starts
and when the nightmares begin

I think once a sound gets played out its played out. You can always pick the decade by the first few beats of any given song; however, I got Eno stuff that was made in the seventies and sounds like it could have been made yesterday... and you never like what the Stones are doing until about ten years later(what gives?) I'm just saying talent is talent. The good stuff will shine through even if you, Sukerkin, are past the point of developing a taste for it.

Alsvatr (The Oath) by Emperor:

Hark, O'Nightspirit,
father of my dark self.
From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth,
by this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed,
I call silently from Thy presence, as I lay this oath.

May this night carry my will
and may these old mountains
forever remember this night.
May the forest whisper my name
and may the storm bring these words
to the end of all worlds.

May the wise moon be my witness
as I swear on my honor,
in respect of my pride and darkness itself,
that I shall rule by the blackest wisdom.

O'Nightspirit!
I am at one with thee.
I am the eternal power.
I am the Emperor.

Winds and storms, embrace us now.
Lay waste the light of day.
Open gates to darker lands.
We spread our wings and fly away.

Then I will rule over and give you hell
And then you will do as I command
Cause I will be here when you are gone
Yeah I'll still be here when you are gone
I'll fill you with fear of a holy sun
I want all that I am 'cause I was made to fly
I was made to fly
And you were made to die
And I was made to fly.

I'm impressed that you got it. I had to look it up even though I've listened to Streetcleaner a million times.
I'm not too worried about offending the other MTer's. They know me well enough to expect as much from me. Hell, I used to use lines from Carpathian Forest songs as my signature.
See you later, love,
~JB

Argh! Playlist.com doesn't work here at work either!
Yes, an unhappy employee is of course a productive employee, hmmm I congratulate your employer for their foresight. I bet they vindicate such oppression by telling you that these sites are too heavy with spyware and whatnot, ha! Oh well. they cannot get to you at home. Or can they, ha! Hey do not be talking work with me my friend.. Feed me a lyric or something or give me your fav song for today :)

Here is one from me anyways.. yes not the first choon in the world to lift something from the Matrix.. And but man why did nobody invite me to that lovely little disco party, oooh baby... I bet this is not your thing and but I do not even care.. I want to open your mind see? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74XranJcH6s = Alec Empire Addicted to You..
The first injection was for free..
Go on, counter me one better if you can :D J


Jenna, SWEET! These dudes are being added to the Karbon Pile with NIN. You need to take a vacation and come stay with me next summer. Bring Tunes!
Lori

Ahh you are cruel to tempt me my friend.. my paltry savings take me as far as Paris on the train and no further.. And but you keep a spare couch free for me and I will even sleep there :) Ha! I never go anywheres without choons. Now have not given me your choon for the day and since I am a generous sort I will give you another.. Here is something different maybe and this is the lovely Muse (before they went all pompous and like someone told me if God was a band he would be Muse, well this is Muse before all that). And yes, this is just a freaky and yet entrancing video at the same time.. And yes I have never met any women THIS amazing that were not robots I think :D I have met a lot of robots though :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65Gh0U0wkBs = Muse, Plug In Baby..
My plug in baby crucifies my enemies
When I'm tired of giving
My plug in baby in unbroken virgin realities
I'm tired of living

And I've seen your loving
But mine is gone
And I've been in trouble..
Hope you like? :) J

I'm having an Exceptionally "Crankpants" day... so here is today's lyric...

"Professional Killer" by KMFDM




Conquer your world
Study you quietly
Count the ways
I'll do anything you say
There will be no holding back
Legions of me

So cruel
Longing eternally
Bitter sweet possibilities
A tiger on the attack
Ready to bleed

Tragically yours
Obey and submit to me
I will find you
Wherever you hide
Got a thrill for the hunt
A skilled criminal mind

So calm
Tracking your every move
Unrelenting my conscious clear
Beyond a shadow of doubt
A force to be feared

Wretched and pure
Tricky and dangerous
Do not question
Or challenge your fate
A promise written in blood
Take life for pay

Yours is not to ask why
Yours is to do and die
Professional killer!

[Jenna]

Carry out my sentence.

To be defaced.
Your need for me has been replaced.
And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste.

Back when my State Guard unit was active and we'd practice patrols I'd always get that old 'Nam era Buffalo Springfield song stuck goin' through my head

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down.......

[celtic_crippler]

Hey there my crippling friend :) whatever happened to Incubus?? After ..Crow I never heard from them again.. Are they still around?? For me, they would never better the sweetness of Wish You Were Here.. reminds me of lost friends..

The world's a roller coaster. And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care. But my hands are busy in the air saying: I wish you were here..
Yr most obdt hmble srvt,

Eh...they're still around but they got all "political." -blech'

Here's one by Flogging Molly that strikes a chord in me Irish blood...

What's Left Of The Flag"

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

[JadeDragon3]

Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.

How about, "This Black Box is stone around my kneck".
I ponder the meaning of that song often. Is it what I think?
Sean

[Cryozombie]

Yes, this one is dating me, Im old.


Now we're standin' on the corner of a world gone home
Nobody's changed, nobody's been saved
And I'm feelin' cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...
"What About me, it isn't fair
I've had enough now I want my share
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more - What about me?!
It isn't fair!
I've had enough now I want my share!
Can't you see? I wanna live!
But you just take more,
You just take more,
You just take more than you give...

What about me?

You will be turning this neat CSS page into a big myspace mess, ha! I am just joking about that too :)

[Cryozombie]

This one is close to me... (so close in fact I have some of the lyrics tattooed on my chest...)


You break my back
You won't break me
All is black
But I still see
Shut me down
Knock me to the floor
Shoot me up
**** me like a whore

Trapped under ice
Comfortably cold
I've gone as low as you can go
Feel no remorse
No sense of shame
Time's gonna wash away all pain

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Now I sleep in anarchy

Sacrifice to the cause
Turn your code into law
Compensate to validate the loss
Take a thief
Nail him to a cross

Gospel of rage
Faction of hate
Deviate from the absolute
Born of revenge
Raised on cement
Chaos created government

I made a god out of blood
Not superiority
I killed the king of deceit
Wake me up in anarchy

This one's a good motivator....at least IMHO

Atreyu: Become the Bull

come on!!!

Grab the bull by the horns the old addage goes.
nobody tells you where to go from there.
I see whats greatful in you.
Decisions have to be made.
The worse part is the hardest earned.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.
Trying to keep a level head.
In the most unseteling of times.
Today I'll become the bull.

There is so much at stake.
I'll stumble I'll lose my place.
Crowded in while surrounded by sin.
Destany takes its hold.
Find it or let it go.
But I choose how it will end.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.
Trying to keep a level head.
In the most unseteling of times.
Today I'll become the bull.

This small heart can get lonely.
I lose myself inside myself.
No one can touch you when you're outside staring in.
Remove myself from this rat race.

Back and forth the struggle consumes us all.
Trying to keep a level head.
In the most unseteling of times.
Today I'll become the bull.
Today I'll become the bull

[Cryozombie]

With our Upcoming election this one is for all you Sheep who feel the need to Vote Republican or Democrat.



Will we close our eyes
Will we fall for those lies
Or will we make the conclusion
That this life's a delusion?

Will we do what we're told
'Til the day that we're sold
Or will we raise our voices
Make alternative choices?

What's up?
Our silence is death
What's up?
We shall resist the violence
What's up?
And we'll never give up
What's up?
Only death is silence

Are we victims or winners
Believers or sinners?
Do we sit in the saddle
Or are we just cattle?

Are we wretched or bold?
Are we garbage or gold?
Can we make the right call?
Can we change it at all?

What's up?
Our silence is death
What's up?
We shall resist the violence
What's up?
And we'll never give up
What's up?
Only death is silence

Acceptance is surrender
Vile and vicious slander
We don't want to be ruled
By a handful of fools

[astrobiologist]

John Lennon's song Imagine will always be one of my favorites...

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

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

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one




Imagine, if the only need for our training were to keep our bodies and minds strong...

[Xue Sheng]

For some reason the following 2 songs keep going through my brain



It's My Life lyrics - Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!




Long Twin Silver Line - Bob Seger

Well the big train keeps on rolling
Rolling on down the track
And the way she’s moving buddy
I don’t believe she’s a-coming back

The fireman’s smoking a big cigar
Sipping lafite rothschild bordeaux
And the engineer’s so happy
He’s just a-letting that whistle blow

She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling on proud and fine
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
Down that long twin silver line

Well she just blazed through chicago
Nonstop to l.a.
And the way she’s steaming buddy
You better not get in her way
She’s got the finest fastest pulling twin diesels
She’s got ninety three cars in tow
She’s gonna be on time
All the way down the line
Come the rain hail sleet or snow

She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling on right on time
She keeps a-rolling
She keeps a-rolling
Down that long twin silver line
Rolling on down the line
And she just passed in chicago
Rolling into kansas too
Rolling into denver
Doing all she’ll do
And she hangs a big left in salt lake city

Southwest to the nevada line
Rolling into california
Right on time
Rolling on down the line

[Skip Cooper]

My favorite song...one that defines my struggle:


Title: The Curse
Artist: Disturbed
Album: Indestructible



(http://www.mp3lyrics.)
Marked for demolition, I'm
Just a time bomb ticking inside
No hope for the hopeless,
I can see the pieces all laid out in front of me

No point even asking why
Couldn't help even if you tried
Step aside or you might just
be the next contestant
To feel the Brutality!

Devastation, Obliteration
Are on to the point of Exacerbation
There's no explaining my situation,
Now why does this **** keep happening to me?

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

Too dark for forgiveness, I
Can't seem to do anything right
When I try to rebuild I see my humble shelter
Just fall to the ground again

Object of an evil eye,
No point to let anyone try
Take heed my friend lest you be torn asunder
Like all that's become of me

Decimation, Disintegration
Now beyond the point of imagination,
There's no explaining my situation
Now why does this **** keep happening to me?

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!


I've held on too long just to let it go now,
Will my inner strength get me through it some how
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender,
I'll never be overcome!

[Skip Cooper]

'fraid you are both wrong this time. Best NIN bar NONE... Talk to me Trent, that is it.. right there..

You give me the anger.
You give me the nerve.
Carry out my sentence.
While I get what I deserve.

I'm just an effigy to be disgraced.
To be defaced.
Your need for me has been replaced.
And if I can't have everything well then just give me a taste.


Kinda reminded me of this...

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
as below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

"Lateralus", by Tool

[Xue Sheng]

Heard this today and somehow it just seemed to apply to the presidential race to me for some reason, especially these lines



Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth

Hey hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we want?


Foo Fighters, Stacked Actors

Oh mirror mirror
Youre coming in clear
Im finally somewhere in between
Im impressed
What a beautiful chest
I never meant to make a big scene

Will you resign to the latest design
You look so messy when you dress up in dreams
One more for hire
Or wonderful liar?
I think its time we all should come clean

Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth

Hey hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we want?
Hey hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde?

God bless, what a sensitive mess
Yeah but things arent always what they seem
Youre teary wise
Your famous disguise
Never knowing who to believe

See through
Yeah, but what do you do?
When youre just another aging drag queen?

Stack dead actors
Stacked to the rafters
Line up the bastards
All I want is the truth

Hey hey now, can you fake it?
Can you make it look like we want?
Hey hey now, can you take it?
And we cry when they all die blonde?

[JBrainard]

I pulled out an old album the other day just to listen to this song again...

Nobody gives a damn about anybody else,
Think everyone should feel the way they feel themselves,
Rich men think that happiness is a million dollar bills,
So how come half of them OD on sleeping pills,

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
You all know what I mean,
What's the use of a cry for help,
If no one hears the screams,
No one hears the scream,

No voices in the sky,
Confusion blinds the eye,
Can't take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky

The ones who dedicate the flags to make you brave,
They also consecrate the headstone on your grave,
Ritual remembrance when no one knows your name,
Don't help a single widow, learn to fight the pain,

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
You all know what I mean,
What's the use of a cry for help,
If no one hears the screams,
No one hears the scream,

No voices in the sky,
Confusion blinds the eye,
Can't take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky

Politicians kissing babies for good luck,
TV preachers sell salvation for a buck,
You don't need no golden cross to tell you wrong from right,
The world's worst murderers were those who saw the light.

Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
You all know what I mean,
What's the use of a cry for help,
If no one hears you screams,
No one hears you scream,

No voices in the sky,
Confusion blinds the eye,
Can't take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky

No voices in the sky,
Confusion blinds the eye,
Can't take it with you when you die,
No voices in the sky

[Xue Sheng]

Rush from Test for Echo



Driven

Driven up and down in circles
Skidding down a road of black ice
Staring in and out storm windows
Driven to a fool's paradise
It's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

Driven to the margin of error
Driven to the edge of control
Driven to the margin of terror
Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole

Driven day and night in circles
Spinning like a whirlwind of leaves
Stealing in and out back alleys
Driven to another den of thieves

But it's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

Driven in...Driven to the edge
Driven out...On the thin end of the wedge
Driven off...By things I've never seen
Driven on...By the road to somewhere I've never been

But it's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

The road unwinds towards me
What was there is gone
The road unwinds before me
And I go riding on

But it's my turn to drive
But it's my turn to drive

[Drac]

I sing this 3rd stanza from Guns N' Roses whenever I go on duty...

Welcome to the jungle
It gets worse here everyday
Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play
If you got a hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have anything you want
But you better not take it from me

[JadeDragon3]

[MA-Caver]

Just for fun... it's a great song if you haven't heard it... (c'mon you listen to Manilow and have a few of his albums stashed away where no-one else can see them and pull them out when you're alone to listen to)...
The real surprise I think is Lily Tomlin's singing voice... it's quite good.
This was written/performed in the 80's so if you remember all those love songs from way back when... it'll get you grinning.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Last Duet as performed by Barry Manilow (with Lily Tomlin)

Lily:
You creep into my heart
And make my heart, burn
Barry:
You sneak into my mind
And make my head, ache
Both:
There are things I long to tell you
Lily:
You're much too blonde
Barry:
You snore

Both:
Well it's time to face the music
Barry:
Bye bye
Lily:
Don't slam the door
And I don't want
Barry:
I don't want
Lily:
And I don't want
Barry:
I don't want
Both:
No, I don't want your flowers anymore

This is the last duet
Last chance you're gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me

This is the final song
And when the music' through
This is the last duet
I'll ever do with you

Barry:
You're not the one that I want
Ohh ohh ohh Tood-le-oo (honey)
Lily:
Don't go breakin' my back
Don't call me, I'll call you (snorts)
Both:
Back together, reunited
Should feel so good they say
So I hope there's no hard feelings
Barry:
Don't go ‘way mad
Lily:
Just go ‘way

Both:
‘cause enough is enough
is enough is enough
too much too little too late

Lily:
To know
Barry:
Tonight
Both:
With you I'm bored again!

This is the last duet
Last chance you're gonna get
No more ha harmony
For you and me

This is the final song
And when the music' through
This is the last duet
I'll ever do I'll ever do
I'll never never never never never do
with you

"Wish You Were Here"

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.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

[Bill Mattocks]

They disembarked in 45
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
There were too many spaces in the line.
Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial Knifes.
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock clings
To her wet body in the rain.
In quiet desperation knuckles
White upon the slippery reins
She bravely waves the boys Goodbye again.

And still the dark stain spreads between
Their shoulder blades.
A mute reminder of the poppy fields and graves.
And when the fight was over
We spent what they had made.
But in the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut.

[Bill Mattocks]

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man.
Night after night, we pretend its all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.

Run to the bedroom,
In the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favorite axe.
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase,
One of my bad days.
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would'ya?
Would you like to see me try?

Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

[Bill Mattocks]

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

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

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death

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

[Bill Mattocks]

What Do You Want From Life
Spooner/Evans

What do you want from life
To kidnap an heiress
or threaten her with a knife
What do you want from life
To get cable TV
and watch it every night
There you sit
a lump in your chair
Where do you sleep
and what do you wear
when you're sleeping
What do you want from life
An Indian guru
to show you the inner light
What do you want from life
a meaningless love affair
with a girl that you met tonight
How can you tell when you're doin' alright
Does your bank account swell
While you're dreaming at night
How do know when you're really in love
Do violins play when you're touching the one
That you're loving
What do you want from life
Someone to love
and somebody that you can trust
What do you want from life
To try and be happy
while you do the nasty things you must
Well, you can't have that, but if you're an American citizen you are entitled to:
a heated kidney shaped pool,
a microwave oven--don't watch the food cook,
a Dyna-Gym--I'll personally demonstrate it in the privacy of your own home,
a king-size Titanic unsinkable Molly Brown waterbed with polybendum,
a foolproof plan and an airtight alibi,
real simulated Indian jewelry,
a Gucci shoetree,
a year's supply of antibiotics,
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth
and Bob Dylan's new unlisted phone number,
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,
Rosemary's baby,
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams,
a new Matador, a new mastodon,
a Maverick, a Mustang, a Montego,
a Merc Montclair, a Mark IV, a meteor,
a Mercedes, an MG, or a Malibu,
a Mort Moriarty, a Maserati, a Mac truck,
a Mazda, a new Monza, or a moped,
a Winnebago--Hell, a herd of Winnebago's we're giving 'em away,
or how about a McCulloch chainsaw,
a Las Vegas wedding,
a Mexican divorce,
a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,
or a baby's arm holding an apple?

[Thesemindz]

Band - Dream Theater
Song - Take the Time

If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year
A man must learn to cope
If his obsession's real, suppression that he feels
Must turn to hope

Grey Day - Madness

When I get home it's late at night,
I'm black and bloody from my life,
I haven't time to clean my hands,
Cuts will only sting me through my dreams.

It's well past midnight as I lie
In a semi-conscious state.
I dream of people fighting me
Without any reason I can see.

In the morning I awake,
My arms my legs my body aches,
The sky outside is wet and grey
So begins another weary day.
So begins another weary day.

After eating I go out,
People passing by me shout.
I can't stand this agony
Why don't they talk to me?

In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best,
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace.

In the morning I awake,
My arms my legs my body aches,
The sky outside is wet and grey,
So begins another weary day.
So begins another weary day.

In the park I have to rest
I lie down and I do my best,
The rain is falling on my face
I wish I could sink without a trace.

In the morning I awake,
My arms my legs my body aches,
The sky outside is wet and grey,
So begins another weary day.
So begins another weary day.

[Bill Mattocks]

In the clearing stands a boxer, and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him
til he cried out in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving," but the fighter still remains

[Cryozombie]

I ran down to the waters edge and screamed your name
Tho I know things are different, I pray they stay the same
The Snow wrapped me up and eased my pain,
Like the cool chill of an autumn rain,
Your words tore into me like piercing steel
Always so shocking to my emancipated will.

The purity of the fury that siezed me by the throat
was brought to an end by the words you wrote
I realized it's more than rage and misery,
but a defiant self that dwells within me
Don't test my apathy, it's more than just Jealousy...

This Shall Be My Finest Hour, When Fate Comes, and Takes My Hand...
This Shall Be My Finest Hour, When Fate Comes, and Takes, Takes My Hand...

[Xue Sheng]

Got a lot on my mind I want to tell you
I don't know where to start
You're gettin' way outta line I want to tell you
You're actin' too damn smart
This little game you're playin'
Has lost its fun somehow
You had me goin' but I figured it out
An' I'm not playin', I'm not playin' now

Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Nothin' you can do to make me stay
Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Say goodbye, it's the only thing to say
Then I'll be on my way

Little girl, dressed to kill
I see through your disguise
You wanna be big time but you never will
Cuz I see through all your lies
You say you're somethin' special
Well you talk a real good game
But now the party's over
An' you just don't sound
You just don't sound the same

Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Nothin' you can do to make me stay
Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Say goodbye, it's the only thing to say
Then I'll be on my way

Don't say you love me
Don't say you need me

Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Nothin' you can do to make me stay
Say goodbye, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
Say goodbye, it's the only thing to say
Then I'll be on my way

[Cryozombie]

This has been stuck in my head for a couple days which is weird cuz I havnt heard it in about a billion years... but maybe it's oddly appropriate now.

Here as I watch the ships go by
I'm rooted to my shore
I keep asking myself why
And if there's more on the other side
Here as I see the friends I thought I made
A little bit crazed and knowing now
We've outgrown one another

Now when I see the things I want
I can take the things I see
But I keep asking myself why
And if there ain't just a little bit more for me
Here when it's time to count the cost
I keep measuring what I've lost
And wondering if you knew
It would all wind up with you

Here as I watch the time go by
How I'd like to sail away
Leaving all my past behind
But I know I'd only last for a couple of days
Here stands everything I thought I made
It's the only life I know
And I can't even call it my own
I've got no home, I belong to you

My star maker
Dream breaker
Soul taker
WE'RE SO HAPPY NOW

[jim777]

Bravado..

If we burn our wings
Flying too close to the sun
If the moment of glory
Is over before it's begun
If the dream is won
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost

When the dust has cleared
And victory denied
A summit too lofty
River a little too wide
If we keep our pride
Though paradise is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost

And if the music stops
There's only the sound of the rain
All the hope and glory
All the sacrifice in vain
(And) If love remains
Though everything is lost
We will pay the price
But we will not count the cost

Infra-red Combat by Front Line Assembly

The pain you feel
Is not for real
The moments you spend
Wondering how it
Would end

In a time
In a place
In a State
Of honor and grace

In a breath
In a Death
In a sound
You'll be found

[Flea]

From Johnny Clegg:

Yashimbawula! (the watchman's fire is burning)
What happened to the diamonds in your eyes,
What happened to the hunger for the day's chase?
What happened to the electric smile
That danced across your face
We used to talk about changing the world
Now all you want to do is change your name
Come on baby don't surrender now
to the empty heart of these days.
We used to talk so deep into the night
You had the heart of a wild horse running
You bared your soul to me
and we both knew these days were coming
Chorus:
These days -- blood in the heavens
These days -- fire and ice
These days -- burning streets and visions
These days -- of the loveless child
Yashimbawula!
You were the reason I came here
You will always be the one I am looking for
I can't stand to see the way
these days are pushing you against the wall
Got to get up, got to move out
Face the tide beyond the door
Outside there's a whole world changing
We can't stand here, trapped inside
Let's step out and test the weather
Hang on baby, it's going to get a rough ride thru'
Chorus
These days -- searching for a vision
These days -- gun metal blue
These days -- changing my religion
These days -- heartless and cruel
say the words and fill my sails
I will love you through the coming gale
we'll get through the darkest heart of these days
"It's killing time"
Who will watch the watchers?
Who will keep the keepers?
Who will love the lovers -- could you?

[just2kicku]

Great song by KISS

Got no manners
And I'm not too clean
But I know what I like
If you know what I mean
Let the people talk
But can't you see
It don't mean spit to me

(chorus)

Lock the windows
Close the doors
She gets down
On all fours
Let the neighbors talk
But can't you see
It don't mean spit to me

(chorus)
I need
Big hips, sweet lips
Make a man outta me
The bigger the cushion
The better the pushin'
Most definately

I need a whole lot of woman
To keep me satisfied
I need a whole lot of woman
Baby, ride after ride
I need a whole lot of woman
Cause what you are
Is what you eat
I need something sweet

[Cryozombie]

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing
And when will we learn to control?

[kaizasosei]

Don't know if it's the greatest, but i like the song by Godsmack voodoo

Im not the one whos so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins.
Never did I wanna be here again,
And I dont remember why I came.

Candles raise my desire,
Why Im so far away.
No more meaning to my life,
No more reason to stay.

Freezing, feeling,
Breathe in, breathe in...
Im coming back again...

[repeat chorus]

Hazing clouds rain on my head,
Empty thoughts fill my ears.
Find my shade by the moonlight,
Why my thoughts arent so clear.

Demons dreaming,
Breathe in, breathe in...
Im coming back again...

[repeat chorus 4 times]

Voodoo, voodoo, voodoo, voodoo.
[repeat]

[so far away...
Im not the one whos so far away...

Lately i've been listening to Razorlight-wire to wire, but it's starting to be a bit too melancholy so i'm trying not to listen to it too much if i can help it.


What is love but a strangest of feelings?
A sin you swallow for the rest of your life
You've been looking for someone to believe in
To love you, until your eyes run dry

She lives by disillusion's glow
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar
Love me, wherever you are

How do you love with a fate full of rust?
How do you turn what was savage tame?
You've been looking for someone you can trust
To love you again and again

How do you love in a house without feelings?
How do you turn what was savage tame?
I've been looking for someone to believe in
To love me, again and again

She lives by disillusion's glow
We go where the wild blood flows
On our bodies we share the same scar

How do you love on a night without feelings?
She says "love, I hear sound, I see fury"
She says "love is not a hostile condition"
Love me, wherever you are

Love me, wherever you are
Love me, wherever you are
Wherever you are

Ive been listening to this song a lot lately.

[kaizasosei]

Ive been listening to this song a lot lately.you mean Godsmack? what a coincidence....

I've always liked this song very much and have been listening to it since i was a kid. I could always relate to the song as it was hard for me adjusting to north america, moving there after spending 8+ years of my early childhood in zimbabwe.

snap-Believe the hype

Searched and searched
Where is the justice
Couldn't find it
So in God I trust this mind to
So it's strong and fruitful
Am what I am
Black and it's beautiful
Not political
But aware
Power Lord
With a Powerful stare
Never bow down to a mortal man
Here I stand at my own command

Not a follower
Not a leader
An exceeder sharp as a cleaver
Some are sinners some are praisers
Me Turbo B.
Heavenly Hellraiser
Truth from the kid make some folks stagger
Straight through the heart like a 12" dagger
Motley
Way of the world
Gaze upon the black pearl

The bigger the badder. Bull!
In the game of life
Knowledge rules
The one with the brain is the sole survivor
What goods a tank with a stupid driver
See
Don't be a dimwit
Ignorant
Really a bad trip
Wisdom get this
Dicipline ****
Can l get a witness
Not the oppressed not the oppressor
Don't rate this one as anything lesser
Racist
You don't want to hear it
But if the shoe fits then wear it
Life is tough so you got to be tougher
smart
To out bluff the bluffer
Feed your mind till wisdom peaks
Absorb the knowledge I speak

Ha! Yep that'd be the antidote! When I have one of those oi-do-this-do-that days at work, anything noizy would bring a catharsis. Was gonna give you the Anti-Nowhere League's "So What" and but the lyrics are, um, naughty, ha! Still, I love this here for a crossover... so much better than that stupid Aerosmith/Run DMC nonsense.

Okay, I'm gonna sound old, but I was at the Long Beach Arena when WASP finished their world tour in '87. And I remember rockin' out to AC/DC Back in Black album in 80. And who could forget the the British Invasion of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Def Lepards High and Dry albums (before they did bubble gum rock). Judas Priest Unleashed in the East one of my favorite albums from '79. Still have it, still listen to it.

Ahhh, the good old days. Did I say that out loud?!?

Not bad, not bad; it was nice to see "Metal" and "Rap" getting along and putting a good song together.

OH YEAH!! I love Running Wild to get pumped up!

I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the nightlite
I'll make you step aside
Cause when they see me comin'
They know I'm a runnin' wild

What memories that brings up, bonfires in the mountains and drinking beer with friends (even tho we were still in high school) good times

Oh I so adore The Beloved... Oh dear, Sweet Harmony reminds me of all kinds of, um, unprintable things, ha! I have not heard that in ages. And that Ini Kamoze. From NWA and Beastie Boys to The Beloved - your tastes are as absurdly varied as mine I think :D Thank you for sharing. And from me to you, one of my fav 90s-style anthems. I am not sure if this would have made it to your shores: The Shamen "Move Any Mountain"? Lyrically and musically this never fails to uplift me even today :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzbUPISS6gw Hope you like :)


I will not fail nor falter, I shall succeed

OH YEAH!! I love Running Wild to get pumped up!

I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
I'm crazy like a madman
My feet don't touch the ground
I move amongst the nightlite
I'll make you step aside
Cause when they see me comin'
They know I'm a runnin' wild

What memories that brings up, bonfires in the mountains and drinking beer with friends (even tho we were still in high school) good times
Oh man, I am there :) Oh see what you have done... you have put me in mind for hairy boys, ha! OK, I wonder can you name this choon without looking?? :D


Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

Hey I am gonna pimp some slightly more modern Brit rock on yall ears. Have a listen to The Music from a year or two ago. These boys can kick it up rightly. I hope you likey... lyrically: meh... musically: woohoo :)

I know that there are those who feel Iron Maiden has slipped in later years and doesn't put out the same quality of music that they once did. But one of my favorites is from a more recent album, Dance of Death. The song is called Paschendale, and tells the story of a dying soldier on that World War I battlefield. Paschendale was the site of some horrific fighting, and one of the worst nightmare places to be during that war. It gives me chills up my spine, and actually brings up emtions in me like few songs can.


PASCHENDALE

In a foreign field he lay
lonely soldier unknown grave
on his dying words he prays
tell the world of Paschendale

Relive all that he's been through
last communion of his soul
rust your bullets with his tears
let me tell you 'bout his years

Laying low in a blood filled trench
killing time 'til my very own death
on my face I can feel the falling rain
never see my friends again
in the smoke in the mud and lead
the smell of fear and the feeling of dread
soon be time to go over the wall
rapid fire and the end of us all

Whistles, shouts and more gun-fire
lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
be reunited with my dead friends soon
many soldiers eighteen years
drowned in mud, no more tears
surely a war no one can win
killing time about to begin

Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again

The bodies of ours and our foes
the sea of death it overflows
in no-man's land God only knows
into jaws of death we go...

Crucified as if on a cross
allied troops, they mourn their loss
German war propaganda machine
such before has never been seen
swear I heard the angels cry
pray to God no more may die
so that people know the truth
tell the tale of Paschendale

Cruelty has a human heart
every man does play his part
terror of the men we kill
the human heart is hungry still

I stand my ground for the very last time
gun is ready as I stand in line
nervous wait for the whistle to blow
rush of blood and over we go...

Blood is falling like the rain
its crimson cloak unveils again
the sound of guns can't hide their shame
and so we die in Paschendale

Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
running straight at canon fire
running blind as I hold my breath
say a prayer symphony of death
as we charge the enemy lines
a burst of fire and we go down
I choke I cry but no one hears
feel the blood go down my throat

Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again
Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again

See my spirit on the wind
across the lines beyond the hill
friend and foe will meet again
those who died at Paschendale

When I think of this I am dragged back to Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon! And but you are absolutely right about the horror of WWI. Trust the Maiden to go all epic on it! Thank you my friend for posting this up :)

Hey here is one for you that I bet you have never heard. I do not believe Marillion ever made it big in the US. Nonetheless, a great band from way way back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_UaSv604hM = Marillion "Childhood's End"

You, the child that once loved,
The child before they broke his heart.
The heart; the heart that I believed was lost.
So it's me I see; I can do anything.
I'm still the child.
'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction.
There is no childhood's end
There is no childhood's end...

I am not a big fan of this musician but I heard this song on the radio on the way into work this morning and it hit a chord (no pun intended) with me today

How bout getting off of these antibiotics
How bout stopping eating when I'm full up
How bout them transparent dangling carrots
How bout that ever elusive kudo

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

How bout me not blaming you for everything
How bout me enjoying the moment for once
How bout how good it feels to finally forgive you
How bout grieving it all one at a time

Thank you India
Thank you terror
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you frailty
Thank you consequence
Thank you thank you silence

The moment I let go of it was
The moment I got more than I could handle
The moment I jumped off of it was
The moment I touched down

How bout no longer being masochistic
How bout remembering your divinity
How bout unabashedly bawling your eyes out
How bout not equating death with stopping

Thank you India
Thank you providence
Thank you disillusionment
Thank you nothingness
Thank you clarity
Thank you thank you silence

The voice can set one's teeth at edge, agreed, and but it is difficult to put down the lyric I think. And I think to find a song that connects like a cog with our mood is one of the greatest comforts or pleasures we can afford ourselves :) I hope it served you, XS.

I thought you'd be out of my mind
And I'd finally found a way to learn to live without you
I thought it was just a matter of time
Till I had a hundred reasons not to think about you

But it's just not so
And after all this time, I still can't let go

I've still got your face
Painted on my heart
Scrawled upon my soul
Etched upon my memory, baby

Hey J.

Might just be the mood I'm in right now, but the following are kind of mingling in my head. For some reason, they just seem to go together.

Show me show me show me
How you do that trick
The one that makes me scream, she said,
The one that makes me laugh, she said,
And threw her arms around my neck

Show me how you do it,
And I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you.

Split Enz?? That is a new one to me so thank you for posting that :) I had to go look them up. And there is nothing to stop you writing better. After all, what is a song but notes on a stave and words well connected :) I do absolutely adore The Cure and but I am not sure bout Just Like Heaven - I think that was a little too commercial maybe? Still, there were plenty of good songs on that LP: Shiver and Shake is one of my ultimo fav "angry" songs when I feel like I need to hit something :) Lyrically, Strange Day always gives me chills :)


My head falls back and the walls crash down
And the sky, and the impossible explode
Held for one moment I remember a song:

Okay, J. Just to counter the somewhat romantic sentiments of my last one, here is a slightly less-than joyous ode to the meetings and partings we all endure and seek.

She turned away, what was she looking at?
She was a sour girl the day that she met me.
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me.

What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do if I follow?

Don't turn away, what are you looking at?
He was so happy on the day that he met her.
Say, what are you looking at?
I was a superman, but looks are decieving
The rollercoaster rides a lonely one
I'd pay a ransom note to stop it from steaming
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a teenage girl when she met me...

What would you do?..

The girl's got reasons, they all got reasons...

What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do if I follow?

Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me,
The day that she left me.
She was a happy girl the day that she left me,
The day that she left me
The day that she left me...


A beautiful song from a desperately painful time.

Oh, and just for fun, especially when driving (and I had just baught my little convertible...)

Driving around, I got my baby and my top down,
Mary-go-round, I ride you for my love.
Throwin' me down in the backseat, undergound
I'm on the mound, I make it for my love...

Who (who) you talkin' to? Talk to me you!
Sound of music...

Makin' my way, I brake another LA day,
Time in the town, I need it fo rmy love,
My Chevrolet rollin' to another play day
This is the sound, I listen for my love

Who you talkin' to, talk to me you,
Sound of music...

I love you, swim through me
Good feelings, come to me!

Sought and I found a life of makin' my bloodsound
Do anything for the one I love,
Somethin profound, the face of God is in sensoround
I'm on the mound, I make it for my love

I love you... swim through me
Good feelings... come to me!

The only question is which version are you thinking about Paul McCartney of Guns N Roses. Although the Paul McCartney version was the themes song of the Roger Moore James Bond Film which has the same name as the song.

And I did actually know all of this without looking any further than my little demented brain... which if you really think about that is rather sad actually :D

Ah Chris you have no need to counter yourself for your romantic ideals. That is a poignant song indeed. I was not familiar at all and so thank you. I like hearing unfamiliar songs :)

Well I will not give you anything so heartbreaky and but I will give you a fav song from a year or so ago. I think this is beautiful. Even better, this vid is my fantasy, filmed driving a Ferrari around dawnlit Paris at ridiculous speed and clocking up all kinds of traffic violations. Lovely ;) Put it to fullscreen and throttle your chair, ha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKPNfSQKsVQ = Snow Patrol "Open Your Eyes" Hope u like :)

And speaking of driving, goodness, I could not listen to RHCP when I was driving (maybe it is a convertible thing). I would end up travelling a little fast, ha! Here is a poignant little driving song for sticking the Stuttgart Sling up the M25 at 3am. Only when speed limits permit I mean :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQA1d0QQvf8 = Pendulum "Granite" (clever fellows Pendulum.

he walks, he talks, he thinks, he feels,
but no dare go near
he takes in all he sees
nothing escapes his gaze
and when he strikes
he strikes for right
a glorious sight.

I sing this song every day its like a mantra.

[just2kicku]

Here's a good one:

I'm a mean machine
I'm the one you don't wanna meet
Middle name is trouble
I'm danger in the streets

Motors in overdrive
I've got the pedal to the floor
Never get enough
Always coming back for more

This is one of my favs!

[Jenna]

Arghh! You are all making a game of my lovely lyrics! This is turning into an inquisition!! And nobody expects the inquisition! Not me anyways :) Ok so

@Ackks10 and Sukerkin, the song is called Roundabout, ha! Yes I recall the title. I am not sure who though. We are still in the same ballpark though: stretched out AoR proggy stuff??? Ah, I am beat with this, pffft. I give up. Again!! Help me here!!

@Xue Sheng, ah see I though with the Billy Joel thing you might have known Everybody Wants To Rule The World and but I see you are not that way inclined at all. I did not see you as a Twisted Sister follower at all, huh. Ah I am not a follower either and but I have that song on a metal compilation thing.. I never forget lyrics - of all the stupid things to remember - I forget where I put my keys and my sneakers in the mornings and but never lyrics, pffft... It is indeed a cruel world :)

DESTROOOEEEYA! DESTROOOEEEYA! :D

@JadecloudAlchemist.. Ahhhhh you got a mellow slowbeat my friend :) Thank you. I needed that *waves away smoke* And but Collie as the cancer cure? Hmmm.. hippies' propaganda, no? Ah I think our Mr Miller there would be advocating anorexia as a weight loss tool. I guess at that level of chill all things must seem feasible though. Don't pay the Collie man, I say :) Just say no, ha! Thank you for your lyric. What else you got in your ears my alchemical friend??

@just2kicku.. Hey Joe :) Aw man you have got me good with that one. I have no clue at all! *shakes fist* Motors in overdrive, pedal to the floor, now that is what I am talking bout! :D Oh, um, maybe somebody like Poison?? Am I right?? Calling a motor a mean machine defo puts it in the 80s I think, glammy stuff, something along those lines, no?? :) Awww, now I have failed my task. I need to go find consolation.. where did I put that stash (chocolate I mean - I have to hide it here :D)

Man who gets the party shakin

[ Special K ]
Undefeated, never beated
Never cheated, but succeeded
If I need it, jubileeted

Casanova booty-feelin
Understandin, reprimandin
Rockin knowin that's demandin

[ L.A. Sunshine ]
No complication, stimulation
Man who's gonna rock the nation
Lime rhyme, battle time
My opponent, he's all mine
I'm not the baddest, not the maddest
When I'm win I am the gladest
No beginner, not a sinner, on the mike I'm just too bad

[ Spoonie Gee ]
Well, I'm always clean, I'm not too mean
The baddest man you ever seen
The finger-poppin, non-stoppin
Man who gets the party rockin
I'm so vicious and ambitious
To the young, cause I'm delicious
Good lovin I always make
I always do with no mistake

[ Kool Moe Deee ]
And I'm very, very, very, very
And my favorite flavor's cherry
Oh my God, it's fame and glory
But I never tell a story
The only time I'm on a mike
Because it's somethin that I like
To be assured the rhymes are lure
I always keep some sets in store

[ Special K ]
The bad, bad, superbad
Never sad, always glad
Not a day you find him mad
Ain't nothin I never had
Sleek, sleek, so unique
Guaranteed to move your feet
So everytime I play the beat
Ladies get up out their seat

[ L.A. Sunshine ]
The wheelin, stealin, double-dealin
Man who rocks it on a feelin
Give you more of rhymes galore
I shoot my shot, I always score
Girls on my jock and on the lock
The man who rock around the clock
I never date, I never wait
The man who set the people straight

[ Spoonie Gee ]
Well, Spoonie Gee, as you could see
I rock the whole society
I always rock, as you can tell
I rock with all the clientele
Finesse is do you know I will
I keep the people starin still
Eyes swollen, rhymes tollin
Comin out this microphone

[ Kool Moe Dee ]
Remember me, MC Moe Dee
The man that's at the t-o-p
A ladies dream the way it seem
When they see me, their eyes are gleam
And I'm so shockin when I'm rockin
Bound to get your fingers poppin
Have no doubt, I turn it out
Cause that's a party's all about

[ Special K ]
Equal sharin, always carin
Man who rhymes with all the darin
Satisfaction guaranteed
Givin you just what you need
I'm Special K with all the plannin
No defeat, the Mozart standin
When I look into the mirror
Knowin there's no one to see

[ L.A. Sunshine ]
A ???, that'll do it
I don't need some disco fluid
Ball-playin, girl-layin
On the mic I'm rhyme-sayin
MC who rock viciously
Satisfaction guaranteed
Or you'll get your money back
Believe me, girl, it's not the wack

[ Spoonie Gee ]
Well, I'm indeed the one that leave
With any girl I wish to see
That make her smile and never frown
Cause I'm the man who get on down
Have everybody feel they face
And give their tongue a taste
Don't try to make em scream and shout
Just show em what it's all about

[ all ]
Treacherous Three as you can see
Special K
Sunshine
And Kool Moe Dee
And don't forget MC Spoonie Gee

[ Special K ]
For MC's who bite
The fast-talkin rhymes
They're gonna feast
So get ready to eat
Moe Dee's the originator
So you might as well starve
Cause you can't catch this fast beat
(Hit it, Moe)

[ Kool Moe Dee ]
Hey, diddle-diddle on the fiddle
Cause the cat is in the middle
Will he rhyme or will he riddle
Does he ???
Have a lot, may be a little
Low cause he can feel his middle
And an ocean full of lotion
Cause it's like his magic potion
But my notion's that the potion
Work itself up like a motion
When you're catchin Superman
And you don't seem to understand
Instead of high he's in the aisle
???
But the cat was found missin somewhere on the line
The only thing he hears bein deaf because of Kool Moe Dee
??? walkin ??? whether talkin on the street
Whether north or south or east
Whether human or a beast
I'm so full of disco (power)
It ain't a MC that I can't devour
In a hour talkin fast and he goes sour
Moe Dee, the disco tower power
So take a deep breath, get a drink of water
Special K, you can say it, but make yours shorter

[ Special K ]
Well, I'm so sincere, just sincere
The baddest MC of the year
Say it low, say it loud
Say it special, say it proud
Takin every year in hell
I weigh the highest on the scale
When I rock I take a bow
Sunshine, come on and show em how

[ L.A. Sunshine ]
The girl-teasin, woman-pleasin
Take a girl, others freezin
Got the heart to play the part
I'm not too sweet, I'm not too tart
We're rappin to the funky beat
The kids all chowed like us like a treat
So come on then and get a taste
Believe me, girl, it's not a waste

[ Kool Moe Dee ]
The super-rhymin, fascinatin
Faster rhyme originatin
Number one when I'm creatin
Number one with no debating
If you look up on the rating
You will see that you're degrading
And you're only commentating
And that gets to be frustrating

[ Special K ]
Yes, for real, we are the deal
And on the mic we use our skill
The latest greatest, no one hate us
Take us home, we're gold-plated
Rappin raw and never bore
And always keep you on the floor
And rock and roll and take control
And rock until we're grey and old

[ L.A. Sunshine ]
The law-abiding, never fighting
Girls are ??? hiding
Pain-enduring, love-ensuring
Cool, calm, and most alluring
Constant on the jock
The man who make the party rock
I gratify and satisfy
Girl, just say, just say good-bye

[ Spoonie Gee ]
Well, I'm lettin you know I am a pro
Just give me a mike, I'm on the go
[ Treacherous Three ]
The three MC's that never freeze
That rock you on down to your knees
[ Spoonie Gee ]
Like Earl the Pearl that shocked the world
Spoonie Gee attracts a girl
[ Treacherous Three ]
We're cool and calm and have the charm
Young ladies say we mean no harm
[ Spoonie Gee ]
S-p-o-o-n-y Gee
[ Special K ]
S-p-e-c-i-a-l K
[ L.A. Sunshine ]
The S-u-n-s-h-i-n-e
[ all ]
Moe Dee, all the way, y'all

[ Kool Moe Dee ]
To the south, to the west, to the east, to the north
(Come on, Moe Dee, you go off, you go off)
Well, I can shock ya and amaze ya
Then I hit ya, then I did ya
Either way I'm gonna faze ya
But I never ever played ya
Cause that is your own behaviour
And the cost is in our favor
And since you're on the jock, you can choose your favorite flavor
If you don't know what's the matter
We can serve ya on a platter
And for your delight, well, we can add a little batter
To the south, to the west, to the east, to the north
Come on, Special K, go off, go off

[ Special K ]
Cause we're a top organization
And we're here to rock the nation
We need cooperation to perform this devastation
Have you swingin, have you swayin
On the mic, and I be sayin
No more jokin, no more playin
We rock with no delayin
>From the south to the west, to the east, to the north
Come on, Sunshine, go off, go off

[ L.A. Sunshine ]
Say rag-tag, garbage bag
Other MC's know the half
With no permission they all listen
Get their rods and they go fishin
To the bottom of the pod
And bite our rhymes no matter how the party people know we rock
So they can stay all on the jock

[ Special K ]
>From the south to the west, to the east, to the north
Come on, Moe Dee, go off, go off

[ Kool Moe Dee ]
And to the D-a-n-o B
Well, Dano B is at the t-o-p
The Superstar, as you can see
The slicker, quicker, magic tricker
On the mixer there's no one quicker
Any sign of magic tricks
There's no man quicker on the mix
Go by the name of the Superstar
So young ladies (ho!) from near or far
Whether you're high-class or rather bourgeois
Whether you live close, or you live far
Whether bus, by train, or even car
You better come and check out the Superstar
It's Dano B, deejay for me
You say cause my presentation when I'm in the nation
Causes total fascination and a total jubilation
With your cooperation and your participation
Don't give no complication, check out acceleration
Talkin faster every second
Other MC's now I reckon
You will wanna bite and chew
Sit back, listen, what you do
Get your pencil, papers and pad
You listen to me like I was your dad
Gonna write the rhymes down to 'Rhymes Galore'
Better tally it up like it was a score
And when it comes to the fly girls, all the things you were taught
You see a pretty young lady, but have second thought
Because her face is on, but her body ain't so hot
Now maybe you should have her, or maybe not
Well, if you rather have a bunch of ??? upon a ???
??? cause she's just a freak
No way that you can reach your peak
On a girl who conversate
And make sure that her head is straight
But when she don't participate
The other girl is not too late
Take it light, because you're blue
Think about it, what you do
Think about it like a man
And someday you will understand
Sex-sex-sex is the law-law-law
When a guy gets a guy on the floor-floor-floor
He sticks his information into her communication
And for further information try the Board of Education
The Army, the Navy, United States Nation
Let's rock, y'all, and don't stop
Ya keep on and shock the house
[ all ]
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
Because we rock non-stop
(Spoonie Gee's gonna...)
(Special K's gonna...)
(Moe Dee's gonna...)
(Sunshine's gonna...)

(Easy Lee's gonna...)

[Ronin74]

Hmmmm...

Well before a tough workout, I like to psyche myself out by listening to the theme songs from a few of the Disney movie classics, like Aladdin of The Lion King. However, if I need to get into the zone, Endless Love, covered by it's Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey. From then on, it's nothing but kicking ass... LOL

Seriously, I'm a sucker for the instrumentals that come from movies like the Bourne trilogy, or scenes where people are training or planning something out, like in The Italian Job. I also like listening to songs that set a good mood before heading out to some event- mainly vocals by Frank, Sammy, Dean, Ella and of course, Rosemary (plase tell me you guys know who I'm talking about). I'll also listen to music traditionally used by some arts if I'm doing those arts. Of course, I've got a lot of Rock, Hip-Hop and Techno to round it all out.

[Xue Sheng]

@Xue Sheng, ah see I though with the Billy Joel thing you might have known Everybody Wants To Rule The World and but I see you are not that way inclined at all. I did not see you as a Twisted Sister follower at all, huh. Ah I am not a follower either and but I have that song on a metal compilation thing.. I never forget lyrics - of all the stupid things to remember - I forget where I put my keys and my sneakers in the mornings and but never lyrics, pffft... It is indeed a cruel world :)

DESTROOOEEEYA! DESTROOOEEEYA! :D



http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

Actually I went to 2 twisted sister concerts in my mis-spent youth and my musical tastes seem to go from Mozart to Motorhead and Count Basie to Kid Rock.

Now for another one

Oh, the naked and the dead
Could hold each other's hands
As they watch me dream at night
In a dream that nobody understands
And though I am not dreaming in a voice grown dry 'n' hollow
I stand on endless naked lines of the following and the followed

And also a song that I heard last night that for some reason had some meaning, and I never heard it before

Shinedown – the sound of maddness

Yeah, I get it,
You're an outcast.
Always under attack.
Always coming in last,
Bringing up the past.
No one owes you anything.
I think you need a shotgun blast,
A kick in the ass,
So paranoid...
Watch your back!

Oh my, here we go...

Another lose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell.
You think that the cryin to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.

I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?

I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,
If there's an afterlife,
Then it'll set you free.
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You think that cryin to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine.

I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?

[ackks10]

:D Yes, one of my favourites in a roundabout way, ack :wink: :lol:

{That's a cryptic clue, Jenna (well, not all that cryptic I guess :o)}


you can't go wrong with rick wakeman, and the rest of the guys,but you r right,yes my friend, you r right, ,,,,,do you think Jenna got it yet??:lfao:

[ackks10]

ok here we go back to the 70's

what is the name of this song, and who did it??

When I get off of this mountain
You know where I want to go
Straight down the Mississippi river
To the Gulf of Mexico

[Chris Parker]

(Originally posted by Jenna) "Ah Chris you have no need to counter yourself for your romantic ideals. That is a poignant song indeed. I was not familiar at all and so thank you. I like hearing unfamiliar songs :)

Well I will not give you anything so heartbreaky and but I will give you a fav song from a year or so ago. I think this is beautiful. Even better, this vid is my fantasy, filmed driving a Ferrari around dawnlit Paris at ridiculous speed and clocking up all kinds of traffic violations. Lovely ;) Put it to fullscreen and throttle your chair, ha! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKPNfSQKsVQ = Snow Patrol "Open Your Eyes" Hope u like :)"


"Open Up Your Eyes" was actually one I nearly put down, but Stone Temple Pilots came out on top... still a favourite, though. And as for it's video (STP's, that is, for "Sour Girl"), that happens to feature both demonic looking bunnies and Sarah Michelle Gellar, not a bad thing itself.

This band was mentioned a little bit earlier, but another favourite "sad" song features the following chorus:

I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had...

Enjoy!

[Chris Parker]

By the way, the story behind "Sour Girl" is a little sad as well... Dean, Rob and Eric were jamming on a piece Dean had come up with while Scot was talking to his wife on the phone. During the conversation, she told Scot that she wanted to leave, he came back, and sang the lyrics "She was a sour girl when she met me, she was a happy girl when she left me". Apparently the rest of the band had to stop to come to terms with what he had just told them, and how he had done it.

Ah I think our Mr Miller there would be advocating anorexia as a weight loss tool. I guess at that level of chill all things must seem feasible though. Don't pay the Collie man, I say :) Just say no, ha! Thank you for your lyric. What else you got in your ears my alchemical friend??

@just2kicku.. Hey Joe :) Aw man you have got me good with that one. I have no clue at all! *shakes fist* Motors in overdrive, pedal to the floor, now that is what I am talking bout! :D Oh, um, maybe somebody like Poison?? Am I right??

Oh Jenna, close * can't believe I got this one*

It was Tesla, Coming at you live. Off their Mechanical Resonance album. Yes, the 80's.

Make all the fellas dance right up
While I go down to the ground... SAY WHAT?

Hey little mama, why you dance so funky?
Hey little mama, why you dance so funky?
Yah, it's that funky dance, that funky Y2C!
Yah, it's that funky dance, that funky Y2C!

NOW that's THE WAY YOU DO IT DOGG!...

Okay Jenna, redemption, here's one

Your cruel, device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I wanna love you
But I better not touch
I wanna kiss you
But my senses tell me to stop
I wanna hold you
But I wanted to much
I wanna taste you
But your lips are venomuos....

[Whitebelt]

From a recent episode of "Flight of the Conchords"

A few lines from a song called "Too Many dicks on the dancefloor"

Too many dicks
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Too many dicks...

Tell the players, make it understood
It ain't no good if there's too much wood
Make sure you know before you go
The dance floor bro-hoe ratio
Five to one is a brodeo
Tell Steve and Mike it's time to go
Wait outside all night to find
Twenty dudes in a conga line

Too many dicks on the dance floor
Easy to fix
Too many dicks on the dance floor
Spread out the dicks...

@JadecloudAlchemist - What, you mean the greatest rap song is NOT Eminem’s “Real Slim Shady” ? Man, why I have been wasting my years listening to this nonsense? Ha! Nope I would disagree with you (very respectfully of course :)). Best of recent years, Wu Tang “Chessboxin’”. Best old school hip-hop still Grandmaster Flash “The Message”. IMO :) And I have never heard of Booty as a dance style, wow, I get such a smile watching that. Hey I have one you might like and which was doing all the clubs here last year – more of an african vibe DJ Mujava “Township Funk” – these guys got moves. This makes me happy to hear. Hope you like :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0l5-zQlgoEE

@Ronin74 Bourne was Moby’s “Extreme Ways” – and oh of course you cannot forget the seminal “Spybreak” from Propellerheads!!! And you are right, what is it about hearing a song on a movie or even an advertisement that gives it a boost? Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald. Rosemary who ??? You got me there??

~~~

@Xue Sheng Oh goodness, I am SUCH a Count Basie fan, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, man I could go on and on, except you would not be at all interested I know :) As for Kid Rock, haha, I will leave that with you XS :) And Shinedown yes I caught them on myspace – great sounds! That lyric I have no idea. Naked and dead and dreams that nobody understands and stuff sounds a bit trippy – something late 60s early 70s lysergic rock Hawkwind or Jefferson Airplane something like that maybe?? Except for that, I don’t know it! Bah! :)

~~~

@ackks10 Hey you are just proving the point that I know no lyrics at all! :D I had to look up the other one. Rick Wakeman – I knew the song I just could not remember YES you give me some points I was in the right area?? :) The other one - Straight down the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico is Bob Dylan!! Yay!! I am right, yes???

~~~

@Chris Parker – ah my lovely Helen that is too too easy: TFF – “Mad World”! Hoorah! And but not their best lyric – that was “Memories Fade” – There’s only need, I love your need so much I’m losing me. Well esp. for you here is my very favouritist antipodean girl. See this is what girls from your neck of the woods should be like – talented interesting and sassy not some Erin McWhatsherface :P I am absolutely in love with this song from last year, Ladyhawke “My Delirium” and you get the vid prize since it is so good. Hope it is "available in your country" .. stupid youtube, pffft

@just2kicku Now Joe, Tesla? Man I was not too far away with Poison, right? Haha, now you have linked it easy into Alice Cooper’s “Poison” :D But know what, I am glad you reminded me. That has cheered me up. I had a listen having not heard that in ages :) Well here is one for you - WAY too easy and but I like you to get the answer so you can have a listen too :) Oh goodness my life story again, am I stupid if I say this verse gives me goosebumps?! Go put it on and have a listen and I hope this cheers you too
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord I pray you give me strength to carry on
'cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams ... ?

@Whitebelt LOLss, Flight of the Chonchords is totally hilaaaaarious :D “Not enough ladies too many mans”, haha.. I have not seen that episode – we have just had Series 1 here. That song reminds me of Felix da Housecat. Hey good pick :) Thank you. What else you like?

Alex Harvey - Next.

Actually I believe it was a song about his military induction, I believe in the British Isles. He was Scottish and the song is from the early 70s. However I do believe Mr Harvey is no linger with us.

Your right, sorry, here is one that is easier

No night fighter,
Gonna stop us getting through,
The sirens make you shiver,
You bet my aim is true,
Because, you know we aim to please,
Bring you to your knees,

Don't vent to much to the pigeons, what will the neighbors think :D

I hope all is well with you to

Yay Lemmy and Bomber!! Thank you for being nice :) And but I am still going to take myself into the yard. I have been called out by some pigeon streetfighter. I cannot refuse him. Honour and all. Ah, the neighbours will not mind. John and Susan are out shouting at the cats and Mr McKenna is bawling out the thrips that are eating his chrysanthemums :D

(Yes, I get tired of me too after a while!)

Thank you for being nice :) Wishes

Wow you are an absolute education my mysterious alchemical friend :) Thank you, I am enjoying every single one of those for all different reasons. Man that is so cool Zeebra and Hieroglyphics absolutely beautiful. Tenor Saw is so unique and evocative like far-off alien ska. DDR? Ha, I am more wannabe Guitar Hero.. I am a europopper at heart see - anything I hear in Paris dives will do me ok :D
You are a supremo afficianado and but here is one I like just because

Oh Jenna, and who didn't like Whitesnake,

Here I go again on my own
winding down the only road
I've ever known
Like a drifter
I was born to walk alone.....Yeah Baby

OK, here's one for ya.....

You can hear the thunder
Long before the storm
But you can't hear the lion
When he stalks his prey

He's moving like a shadow
Creeping up on you
And like a sirens call
He's gonna have his way

You better run
Forget your pride
Don't make a stand
Just step aside

If you don't have what it takes
Don't try to play,you'll lose your stakes
Remember this at least
It's the..............

I await your answer My Lady
