From Telepopmusik, nicest thing to come out of France since je ne sais quoi...

Smile

Had you there in the palm of my hand.
Saw that smile you give that girl.
Haven't seen that smile such a long time.
Don't do this to me, again.

I watched you laugh when you walked out through door,
Couldn't save you from yourself.
Haven't seen that smile for such a long while.
Don't do this to me again.

So I went out,
to find out what I was looking for.
Found the key,
key to our door.
It's all of your lies.
Still I can't forget.
Don't do this to me again.

Had you there in the palm of my hand.
Saw that smile you give that girl.
Haven't seen that smile such a long time.
Don't do this to me again.
Don't do this to me...
... again.


A very pretty song in a sad, sad sort of way....

Oooh Egg this is great and even better to know just HOW varied and deep and wide your tastes run. And well I could perhaps argue bout the best thing outta France but giving you a Jean michel Jarre lyric would force me to go looking for hens teeth, ha! No there are some really... But yeah here is one for ya and the little lyric is sung really dreamily right the way through and really chilled and this is from a few years back if you do not know them directly you will prolly know the choon as it has been used everywhere... and there is a funny little spoken bit at the end which I have transcribed also.. So Easy from Royksopp who are from Bergen which is one of the loveliest places anywhere .. ahh Egg I would be thrilled if you knew this or would check it out!

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache
Blue on blue, now that we are through ..
(repeated like um.. forever)


<telephone dial tone..>
~ hello?

Wow, Jenna!

I admitted earlier to showing my age with the songs I posted, but that song is even before my time! What an unexpected selection by you!

OK, it's "beach weather" here in Chicago lately, so this song popped up on my Ipod, and it's always meant a lot to me, so......enjoy:

Jimmy dreams
He&#8217;s a child to the end
What a joy
When you are your best friend
The world&#8217;s such a toy
If you just stay a boy
You can spin it again and again

Jimmy flies
With no use for disguise
Just escapes
Using mirrors and capes
And the words do the trick
There is no bigger kick
Than just rhyming again and again

Sound of the low tide
The smell of the rain
Travellin&#8217; alone
On my boat and my plane
Take it all in
It&#8217;s as big as it seems
Count all your blessings
Remember your dreams

Jimmy stares
Towards the bright pleiades
It&#8217;s so strange
What his distant eye sees
Who knows why you start
Rediscovering your heart
But you do it again and again

Sound of the low tide
Smell of the rain
Travelling alone
On my boat and my plane
Take it all in
It&#8217;s as big as it seems
Count all your blessings
Remember your dreams

Jimmy stares
Towards the bright pleiades
It&#8217;s so strange
What his distant eye sees
Who knows why you start
Rediscovering your heart
Ou just do it again and again

The world&#8217;s still a toy
If you&#8217;ll just stay a boy
And that&#8217;s why jimmy dreams.

Downloading it now. I see it was used by T-Mobile for a recent ad campaign.

This track is a little messier that telepop; but, I like it Rather dark and sad in a sinister merry-go-round kind of way.

Thank you, Jenna

Why have you forsaken me?
In your eyes forsaken me?
In your thoughts forsaken me?

Jimmy dreams

Hey MT my learned friend I like this a lot thank you!! .. I wonder do you dream a lot yourself? of course I am always drawn personally to the line "Jimmy stares towards the bright pleiades" and I do not know bout you but I can only ever see the Pleiades .. the Seven Sisters (Messier 45) when I do NOT strain to look DIRECTLY at it but rather slightly away from it.. that is a strange thing I think but maybe you understand this if you like stargazing too..

Anyway this is from the brilliant Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode... and Hold On

You keep sending me all these things; I'm learning how to smile
You keep sending me all these things; I think I'll stay a while

Tried to talk to you in my dream. You looked at me and smiled
Your smile said to me - I'll have to wait a while
I have to wait a while

Hold on... You opened my eyes today
Hold on... Another surprise!

You keep giving me all these things. I see them in your smile
You keep giving me all these things - I think I'll stay a while..
I guess I'll stay a while

Hold on... You opened my eyes today
Hold on... Another surprise!

Wow Egg it cheers me greatly to know you listened to this one I will say.. and yes you express it very clearly and with unusual turn of phrase which is apt and I do not know if you like this but if you do at all even better WAY better are Sigur Ros if you get a chance and have some spare bandwidth.. I would recommend to someone with your tastes and for anyone who is at times reminiscent.. Sigur Ros.. phenomenally esoteric and mind-opening if that is not too kooky a thing to say.. but when I hear their music I think everybody else is just years behind..

Be good,
Yr most obdt hmble srvt,
Jenna

System of a Down - Chop Suey

Hey Techno.. this is a superb track and I do not think SoaD have surpassed it yet and I wonder does this noteable and noticeable lyric mean anything to you personally? I would be interested to know.. but since we are on that thread we might as well be nobodies with MM.. though this is not The Nobodies but rather The Fight Song (part of) which holds exactly the same sentiment as that section of Chop Suey but said using more aggressive language... ooooh fierce.. do it!

You'll never grow up to be a big rock star: celebrated victim of your fame
Just cut our wrists like cheap coupons and say that "death was on sale today"

And when we were good, you just close your eyes
So when we are bad, we'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to god that doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to world that doesn't give a s***

The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of one is a tragedy
The death of a million is just a statistic!

But I'm not a slave to god that doesn't exist
And I'm not a slave to world that doesn't give a s***

[Cryozombie]

Hey Techno.. this is a superb track and I do not think SoaD have surpassed it yet and I wonder does this noteable and noticeable lyric mean anything to you personally?

Off and On, yeah. Today is on, and I do feel "cut off" from god...

 

[trav101]

All of my poems are in storage in Alaska. Hopefully, I can get them soon enough. There is one line I remember, and I don't know why but...

"It is the lack of divinity that makes LAW the new religion"

 

[Jenna]

Off and On, yeah. Today is on, and I do feel "cut off" from god...

To me this SoaD lyric is a very ANGRY lyric and not said in a way appealing to the Father to look down but rather saying Oi! I have had enough of waiting and I am off ... to trust in my self-righteous... act...

I hope you take it easy and maybe remember how to unfocus your eyes from time to time to avoid eyestrain

[Kreth]

Well, here's a good one, that we just started playing around with in my band, Shinedown's 45:

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of another life [another life]
No real reason to accept the way
things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

CHORUS

Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe

CHORUS (x2)

 

[Cryozombie]

well I live with snakes and lizards
and other things that go bump in the night
cos to me everyday is halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight

well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
all the people seem to stop and stare
they say 'why are you dressed like it's halloween?
you look so absurd, you look so obscene!'

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

well I let their teeny minds think
that they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
and I dress this way just to keep them at bay
cos halloween is everyday
it's everyday

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should I take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
it's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

o, why can't I live a life for me?
why should i take the abuse that's served?
why can't they see they're just like me
I'm not the one that's so absurd

why hide it?
why fight it?
hurt feelings
best to stop feeling hurt
from denials, reprisals
it's the same it's the same in the whole wide world

Social D "Bad Luck"

Some people like to gamble,
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock 'n' roll,
you're always singin' the blues
You gotta nasty disposition,
No one really knows the reason why,
You gotta bad, bad reputation,
Gonna hang your head down and cry...
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
Thirteen's my lucky number,
To you it means stay inside.
Black cat done crossed my path,
No reason to run and hide.
You're looking through a cracked mirror,
No one really knows the reason why.
Your enemies are gettin' nearer,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
Some people go to church on Sundays,
others they pray at home.
You tell them that there ain't no God,
that they're better off standin' alone.
You're always scratchin' at the eight ball,
No one really knows the reason why.
You get to the top and then you fall,
Gonna hang down your head and cry.

 

[JamesDraegun]

I love all sorts of music, but two that I have been listening to lately would have to be:

Meaning of Life by Disturbed (Disturbed is the closest I get to extreme lyrics, and I don't listen to many really 'heavy' rock songs; also, I like this song b/c it's a great adrenaline-pumping song I use when I'm working on ferocity for my kicks and punches):miffer::EG:​

Get psycho,
I wanna get psycho,
Get psycho,
I wanna, wanna, wanna

I wanna get psycho,
Run you little b****,
I want your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot, meaning of life.
It's not enough to have a little taste,
I want the whole damn thing an' now,
Can you dig it?

Need to get psycho,
wanna hear you say,
say, you want it, need it,
Don't wanna wait until we finish the show.
It's not enough, you hunger for more,
You're one twisted little f***,
And now you wanna get psycho with me,

Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.

Get psycho,
I wanna get psycho,
Get psycho,
I wanna, wanna, wanna

I wanna get psycho,
Scratch my itch,
Give me your power glowing, juicy flowing, red hot, meaning of life.
It's not enough to have a little piece,
I want the whole damn thing an' now,
Can you dig it?

Need to get psycho,
Wanna hear you scream,
Tell me to take you, scare you, f*** you
After we finish the show.
It's not enough, you listening whore?
You're one twisted little f***,
And now you wanna get psycho with me.

Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.

I can feel the blood, flowing through my veins,
Spilling on my soul, and now the hunger's getting bigger,
Come a little closer now, Pretentious whore and pull my trigger,
Free the violence that is building in me,
I say now end of the ride, murder suicide, Is how I've been feeln' latley.

Come a little closer now pretentious whore Im reelin' with a feeln' that I cant ignore,
Come a little closer now pretentious whore Im reelin' with a feeln' that I cant ignore,
Come a little closer now pretentious whore Im reelin' with a feeln' that I cant ignore,
Need to get psycho, is not a question to me.

Get, get, get, get, get psycho,
Get, get, get, I wanna get psycho.
Get, get, get, get, get psycho,
Get, get, get, I wan', I wan', I wan' ....
Get psycho,
Get, get, get, get, get psycho,
Get, get, get, I wanna get psycho.
Get, get, get, get, get psycho,
Get, get, get, I wan', I wan', I wan' ....

Another song (almost a complete opposite of the last one), is this:
Freestlyer by BomFunk MC (A very cool techno song that, while Meaning of Life 'talks' of strength and fierceness, this song says to me being stlyish and open)

Freestyler...rock the microphone
Straight from the top of my dome
Freestyler...rock the microphone
Carry on with the freestyler

I gotz to hmmm, to throw on
And go on, you know i gotz to flow on
Selectors on ya radio play us
'Cause we're friendly for ozone
But that's not all so hold on
Tight, as I rock the mic right
Oh.. excuse me, pardon
As I syncronize with the analyzed
Upcomin' vibes the session,
Let there be a lession, question
You carry protection
Or will your heart go on
Like Celine Dion - Karma Chameleon

Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone

Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!

(Scratches)

Styles, steelos, we bring many kilos
So you could pick yours, from the various
Ambitious, nutrious, delicious, delirious
Or vicious, just tell us
We deliver anything from accappellas
To propellers, suckers get jealous
But their soft like marshmellows
you know they can't handle us
like debbie does dallas
Yeah, we come scandalous so who tha ****
Is alice, is she from buckinham palace?

Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone

Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!

Freestyler...rock the microphone
Straight from the top of my dome
Freestyler...rock the microphone
Carry on with the freestyler

Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone
Yeaah, straight from the top of my dome
As I rock, rock, rock, rock, rock the microphone

Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!
Hit me!

(Also, you have to hear this song to really understand what the lyrics song like cool song)
Sorry for the long post, and there are some cool songs I've seen here!:ultracool

 

[Kembudo-Kai Kempoka]

A good friend and fellow guitarist passed away recently, and the services are on the 14th. We used to play a lot of Kansas together, and I can't help thinking of the lyrics to the chorus:

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more.

and, morosely,

Don't hang on
Nothing last forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy.

And, from Queen...

The show must go on.

All We Want Is A Headrush

All We Want Is To Get Out Of Our Skin For A While

We Have Nothing To Lose Because We Don't Have Anything

Anything We Want Anyway...

We Used To Hate People

Now We Just Make Fun Of Them

It's More Effective That Way

We Don't Live

We Just Scratch On Day To Day

With Nothing But Matchbooks And Sarcasm In Our Pockets

And All We Are Waiting For Is For Something Worth Waiting For

Let's Admit America Gets The Celebrities We Deserve

Let's Stop Saying "don't Quote Me" Because If No One Quotes
You

You Probably Haven't Said A Thing Worth Saying

We Need Something To Kill The Pain Of All That Nothing Inside

We All Just Want To Die A Little Bit

We Fear That Pop-culture Is The Only Culture We're Ever Going To
Have

We Want To Stop Reading Magazines

Stop Watching Tv

Stop Caring About Hollywood

But We're Addicted To The Things We Hate

We Don't Run Washington And No One Really Does

Ask Not What You Can Do For Your Country

Ask What Your Country Did To You

The Only Reason You're Still Alive Is Because Someone

Has Decided To Let You Live

We Owe So Much Money We're Not Broke We're Broken

We're So Poor We Can't Even Pay Attention

So What Do You Want

You Want To Be Famous And Rich And Happy

But You're Terrified You Have Nothing To Offer This World

Nothing To Say And No Way To Say It

But You Can Say It In Three Languages

You Are More Than The Sum Of What You Consume

Desire Is Not An Occupation

You Are Ultimately Thrilled And Desperate

Skyhigh And ****ed

Let's Stop Praying For Someone To Save Us And Start Saving
Ourselves

Let's Stop This And Start Over

Let's Go Out-let's Keep Going

This Is Your Life-this Is Your ****ing Life

We Need Something To Kill The Pain Of All That Nothing Inside

Quit Whining You Haven't Done Anything Wrong Because Frankly

You Haven't Done Much Of Anything

Someone's Writing Down Your Mistakes

Someone's Documenting Your Downfall

Sublime

Bad Fish

When you grab a hold of me Tell
me that I'll never be set free
I'm a parasite,
creep and crawl I step into the night.
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too?
Ain't got no money to spend
I know the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef


Baby your a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim but wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
Ain't got no quarrels with god Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef


Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

 

[crushing]

Bad Fish reminds me of:

Marvin Gaye

Mercy, Mercy Me


Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord
