Turn Away - New Model Army

The candle flickers and the shadows move distorted on the wall
There's a wire slowly stretching
And now you ask him all the questions, the same ones as before
But you know that he is lying
And with your arms around him now, you're begging please
But he moves towards the open door
And you find you're screaming 'no'
But something breaks this time, you find you cannot move
Is it wrong to let him walk into the water?
Close your eyes for just one moment
You get so tired the endless days of watching over
And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet him
To turn away - he disappears into the tide
All your love it cannot save him
All your love it cannot save him

And everybody holds a secret that draws them with its breath
The one that will destroy them
Oh, the warming glow of poison - it's so easy going down
Just to spite the days of reason
Oh, my abandoned child, we'll both end up as fools
I can see it in your craving eyes that I cannot hold you
All the warning shots will be lost and drowned
In the roar of the crashing waves
And is it wrong to let you walk into the water?
Close my eyes for just one moment
I get so tired the endless days of watching over
And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet you
To turn away - you disappears into the tide
All my love it cannot save you
All my love it cannot save you

How about:

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, DOMO, domo... DOMO, domo.

Ok.. it's a stupid song... :)
I hate you. I'm going to have that song in my head all day now... :uhyeah:

I may as well return the favor:

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh, McTavish is dead and his brother don't know
And his brother is dead and McTavish don't know
And they're both lying dead in the very same bed
And neither one knows that the other is dead."

"Hurt" - NIN

Hurt"

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

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

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

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

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

I listen to everything rock from Zepplin to Bryan Adams. I really like the song Mas Tequilla from Sammy Hagar. No matter what kind of mood I am in it never fails to raise my spirits.

All right now, here we go ...
Now we're gonna tell you a little story
About the way we like to party - take ya on a trip!
HIT IT!
That's right
I'm goin' way down south where the big blue agave grow,
Takin' a weekend trip down to Baja, Mexico!
Where you can drink the water, but don't ya eat the ice,
Take your vitamin "T" with salt 'n lemon slice ...
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...Arriba! Mas Tequila!
Hey! Hey!
She did a mean macarena to the funky cold medina
Behind a body shot and three margaritas.
She'll drink it straight from the bottle, terra cotta jug,
From a boda bag coppin' a major buzz.
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...Arriba! Mas Tequila!
Hey! Hey!
Uno mas, bartender...one more...mas tequila!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Yo can drink the water, but don't ya eat the ice;
Take your vitamin "T" with salt 'n lemon slice!
I say,
One shot...Hey! Mas Tequila-
Two shots...Hey! que veneno-
Three shots...Arriba! Mas Tequila!
Hey! Hey!
One shot...Hey! more tequila!
Two shots...Hey! que veneno!
Three shots...Ay yi yi yi yi ...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Mas Tequila!
No mas, no mas ....

One of my favorite songs of all time:

So thanks for making me a fighter

Hey Sam :) well here is a turn up for the books.. you liking girly pop ha! I is just jokin wid ya. Actually I understand this and why it might make an impression and Ok ya forced me to admit.. a good song! But do not say I said that *furtive looks*

OK what have we got for ya ooh here we are and this here is a brilliant choon even despite this first lyric here which is major nasty and reminds me of one of those dumb scenes from Police Academy I think with images of leather bikers-cap wearing Village People sorts, pffft!

Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain....

I mean! Actually that is a right load of rot but the absolute KILLER lyric is the bridge and the chorus Soft Cell Say Hello Wave goodbye

Take your hands off me - I don't belong to you, you see
Take a look at my face for the LAST time
I never knew you; you never knew me
Say hello. Goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye


Wow this is SUCH a cool 80s song that almost makes me wish I had of been there properly but prolly not actually I would have had to have major BIG hair bleh!

Wow HKPhoo :) this is a great lyric absolutely and what ever happened to NMA?? Are they still in action I have not picked up on anything of theirs for a long time. Thank you for sharing this!!!

Well ya know I am not in a noisy mood this evening and I am on an 80s blarge I think so here ya go and it is not so difficult to find GOOD 80s choons even despite most of it being plinkety plink drivel ooooh look a synth oooh listen I got an arpeggiator, ha! This one here is just SO amazing and SLICK 80s production and if it was around now it would be a killer choon fer sure Prince When Doves Cry and lyrically means a lot to me personally though you would maybe slate me for it but.... humour me man humour me :D

How can you just leave me standing alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding; maybe I'm just like my father: too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother, she's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like.... When doves cry

Hey mister Hapki :) How is your leopard thong? Hidden I hope, ha! And are you not too young for this here malarkey? Maybe I am mistaken when was this song done anyway???


Ahh but I am your equal for songs of robotics and I went and got the original spitty german version from those wacky boys with much too much hair wax Kraftwerk Wir sind die roboter ..(We are the Robots) and you can accompany with your own synth noises ha! :)

Wir laden unsere Batterie
Jetzt sind wir voller Energie

Wir sind die Roboter


... there now impress all your friends with this!

Jenna,

My thong is just fine. In fact, if you ask nicely, I'll let ya see it :ultracool

Unfortunately, I'm not too young for Mr. Roboto. It came out in the 80s when I was in high school.

And I'm very impressed with your singing in German! Gehen sie, fraulein! (You go, girl.. I think)

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da

They're meaningless and all that's true

"Hurt" - NIN

Oooh HKPhoo :) this is a good one and how did we get from NMA to NIN?? But thank you for reminding me though I needed little reminding because I have alas been spending time probably too much in the NIN hostel this week and over and over I have been spinning the powerful and blinding "Only" but I think sometimes my man Trent just sort of says it right and says it the right way would you agree??? But I am not all morbid just a bit annoyed and this fits for me spot on at the minute and I will give the whole thing because every verse hits the nail of relevance on the head...

I'm becoming less defined as days go by: fading away, well you might say I'm losing focus
Kind of drifting into the abstract in terms of how I see myself
Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes, I think I can see right through myself
Sometimes, I can see right through myself


Less concerned, about fitting into the world: your world that is, cause it doesn't really matter anymore
No, it doesn't really matter anymore
No, it doesn't really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore


Yes, I am alone, but then again I always was. As far back as I can tell, I think maybe it's because
Because you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself

I just made you up to hurt myself. Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself. Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked!
Yes it did!


There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no f*****g you, there is only me
There is no f*****g you, there is only me
Only


Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye. And it turned out to be a scab
And I had this funny feeling like I just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone, I kept picking at that scab
It was a doorway trying to seal itself shut. But I climbed through


Now I'm somewhere I am not supposed to be. And I can see things I know I really shouldn't see
And now I know why now, now I know why, things aren't as pretty on the inside


There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no f*****g you, there is only me
There is no f*****g you, there is only me
Only

Ahh Egg you are too clever and learned my friend you have gone away above me with this and I am lost completely and do not even recognise the language and will you explain to me please what this is and what it means thank you :)

But I cannot match you nearly so I will concede and give you a less enlightened reply but still of merit I think and since 2nite it would seem in my house is 80s nite, ha! well hard to think of a more special and amazing 80s song than this and the music is inspiring and the lyric so heartfelt from maybe an artist who actually THOUGHT about her lyric before opening her mouth and Cyndi Lauper Time After Time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside. The drum beats out of time...


If you're lost you can look and you will find me, time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting, time after time

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 :)

Hey matt :) yep you got that right and not hard to hear why this is just one of those tracks exactly to lift a mood!! And i wonder are you a Van Halen man also or upset at what they did to Sammy H and dumped him out for DLR??? But regardless, thank you and I am amazed that so many songwriters like the spicy Tequila and you can prolly rhyme off a dozen songs about the stuff which I will admit I tried once and could not even hardly swallow bleh.. but here is another footstomping track and which you will prolly not know because I think they never really made it out of the UK but yep from Tequila from Terrorvision and is a really very banging and HAPPY sort of song from these otherwise nice and NOISY guys...

Sierra sunrise and Margarita,
They'll break your heart in the desert heat,
Tell you you're thirsty,
They'll tell you you're sober, sober,
It's all over, over,
They'll tell you you're fine,
Then the curse of Tequila....

If there's a lot on your mind it's there to help you forget,
To relax and rewind and leave behind the regret,
First sip makes you well before you know it it's time,
And you're saying to hell with the salt, lemon and lime,
Salt, lemon and lime, time Tequila,

That's the curse of Tequila.....

Hey MT my friend :) wow this is one of the best EVER lyrics put to song I will say. But I wonder if I could ask you a question for if and when you read this.... I wonder if you pick up any sarcasm cynicism or irony in Dylans tone ?? I choose not to look at it like that but knowing how he thinks and how he writes and how he causes people to think on what they hear from him I wonder could this be an exhortation to do the opposite of its title and not even try to stay young but to live for who you currently are and stop trying to relive the past??? I dunno I am prolly not thinking of that properly.. I wonder what this means to you personally??

But since you have given me something so poignant I will give you likewise something back which I just love and think it is on a par with anything EVER written and I will argue this with anyone until the cows come home and it is such a movingly tragic story that goes from away up in the mountains to away down in the darkness of the valley but even for all that it CAN be a story of optimism if it is listened to with that mind and I hope you you know it or have time to read maybe I post the whole song because it means a lot to me and so from the wonderfully thoughtful and gifted Tracy Chapman..... of course Fast Car

You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal. Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better. Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something. But me myself I got nothing to prove


You got a fast car, I got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working at the convenience store. Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won’t have to drive too far. Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs and finally see what it means to be living


See my old man’s got a problem: he lives with the bottle that’s the way it is
He says his body’s too old for working, I say his body’s too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him. She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody’s got to take care of him so I quit school and that’s what I did


You got a fast car. Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision: we leave tonight or live and die this way


I remember when we were driving driving in your car, speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us and your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged and I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


You got a fast car. We go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job and I work in the market as a checkout girl


I know things will get better: you’ll find work and I’ll get promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter, buy a big house and live in the suburbs


I remember when we were driving driving in your car, speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us and your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged and I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


You got a fast car. I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar, see more of your friends than you do of your kids
I’d always hoped for better. Thought maybe together you and me'd find it
I got no plans I ain’t going nowhere. So take your fast car and keep on driving


I remember when we were driving driving in your car, speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us and your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged and I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone


You got a fast car. But is it fast enough so you can fly away?
You gotta make a decision: you leave tonight or live and die this way

Hey Jen,

I know Dylan had the ability to be pretty sarcastic (see: Positively 4th Street), but I actually think this song is a sincere effort. My interpretation of it is essentially equivalent to the Shakespeare quote "to thine own self, be true" and that we all have an internal light that should be shining, if we love ourselves enough to let it. The exhortation to remain "Forever Young", I interpret to mean: stay young at heart always, no matter what happens.

I'm probably showing my age, but I've never heard "Fast Car". I'll read over the lyrics ands give it some thought. Thanks for sharing something that means a lot to you!

Hey MT my clever friend :) wow! I am glad for your interpretation of this as this is exactly how I hear it also and with Dylan absolutely the pen is truly mightier than the sword and it says so very much about a writer that their songs are even subject to interpretation which is a far cry from some of the made-to-a-cost musical drivel in production currently. And PLEASE try to track Fast Car I am surprised you do not know this but I PROMISE as a Dylan fan you will have already an innate appreciation for Fast Car and Tracy Chapman a wonderful artist. If you can do that for me I would be a happy bunny to know I had truly shared the song with you.
