Post a Song
This is, quite possibly, the saddest song EVER recorded.
Thom Parrott - Aberfan Coal Tip Tragedy The mining men of Wales are hardy, strong and bold, And they tunnel in the earth and make it yield its coal. But in the town of Aberfan, it's dearer now than gold, For one generation, for the black rock, has been sold. How many died in Aberfan When the coal tip came rumbling down? How many children will never grow old? How many lives purchase how many pounds of coal? The little school of Pantglas* lay where the mountain loomed, And some two hundred children took their lessons in its rooms. The day fall recess was to begin, they went to meet their doom, Not knowing "the green hollow" would soon become their tomb. Chorus. It was just 9:00 AM when they opened up the door, And in came the children, two hundred, maybe more, For nobody knew what the mountain had in store. The lucky ones were tardy, the others are no more. Chorus. "I played with my big dog, I played with my cat." Signed "Paul, October 21." There's nothing after that. For the mountain came down, and everyone was trapped, And now there's only coal slag where little Paul once sat. Chorus. In eighteen hundred and seventy-four, the first pit shaft went down, And they started piling mining waste on the slopes above the town. Everybody knew that the practice was unsound But for ninety-two years no better place was found. The men of the National Coal Board said that they'd known from the first. The coal tips they permitted were a worry and a curse. But I've heard that kind of thing so many times and it always sounds rehearsed. If the coal tip was a murderer, the Coal Board's crime was worse. For the children all were pretty, the children all were fine, But the children went to school in the shadow of the mine. With the coal tip up above them, they were running out of time, And they were buried alive by the Ministry of Mine. How many died in Aberfan When the coal tip came tumbling down. How many children will never grow old. How many lives purchase how many tons of coal. |
New York Mining Disaster of 1941
Bee Gees In the event of something happening to me, there is something I would like you all to see. It's just a photograph of someone that I knew. Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones? Do you know what it's like on the outside? Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones. I keep straining my ears to hear a sound. Maybe someone is digging underground, or have they given up and all gone home to bed, thinking those who once existed must be dead. Have you seen my wife, Mr. Jones? Do you know what it's like on the outside? Don't go talking too loud, you'll cause a landslide, Mr. Jones. In the event of something happening to me, there is something I would like you all to see.

i love this song...
2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME (Mick Jagger / Keith Richards) The Rolling Stones Sun turnin' 'round with graceful motion We're setting off with soft explosion Bound for a star with fiery oceans It's so very lonely, you're a hundred light years from home Freezing red deserts turn to dark Energy here in every part It's so very lonely, you're six hundred light years from home It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're a thousand light years from home Bell flight fourteen you now can land See you on Aldebaran. Safe on the green desert sand It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home It's so very lonely, you're two thousand light years from home |
Somehow this CD (Glassjaw - Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Silence) doesn't have a parental advisory sticker (while Queens of the Stone Age somehow do). Read these 3 songs and see what I mean.
Glassjaw - Motel of the White Locust Welcome to Hollywood, whore. Wake the fuck up in Hollywood, whore. My dance has passed. Welcome to Hollywood, whore. Wake the fuck up in Hollywood, whore. Combine the throb within the head with the rhythm fucking of the feet. Say a novena for all those lost and read the bloodstains on the sheets. I've whored myself for less than this and I've prayed to appear fed. As I knelt on my pillow, God, I clenched my fucking fists and banged my head. Who could ever Who the fuck could ever take the place of me? Now I kiss up to God with my fists and I pray to keep my head though I like your pretty eyes better blackened and my fists all fucking red. Through sickness and health I've kissed up to God two years. I've focused on the cameos made by the tiger in the valley of the fucking locust. Who could ever Who the fuck could ever Take the place of me? Wipe it off your mouth. Get up off your knees and make me your God. Who could ever Who the fuck could ever It's sexual debauchery, you fucking cunt, you fucking whore, You cost what you're worth. Followed by a boy like this. Re-ignited by all your visits. As long as your mouth is shut, you'll still be fucking beautiful. ------------------------------------- Glassjaw - Lovebites and Razorlines Who you fucking now? I use my slit wrist to sign my name with blood and when you can't compete with the Joneses you gun 'em all down (even the father). You fucking whore. Shut up and swallow my pride for me. Move closer or drive farther. I just suck on the end of this dick that cums lead, but first I'm coming after you all. It's ladies night at the bar but she smokes a man's cigar. I guess she's dying. Oh well. I don't give a fuck about your dignity. That's the bastard in me. I know a girl who sells herself around and I'm sure that one day she'll sign autographs in your town. You fucking whore, who you fucking now? I use my slit wrist to sign my name with blood and when you can't compete with the Joneses You gun 'em all down (even the father). You fucking whore. Shut up and swallow my pride for me. Move closer or drive farther. I just suck on the end of this dick that cums lead, but first I'm coming after you all. Looking back into my diary What makes me say those things? What causes my laughter at another's disaster It's the bastard in me. I know a girl who sells herself around and I'm sure that one day she'll sign autographs in your town. You fucking whore Who you fucking now? I strain myself, I guess. I guess I fuck myself, I guess I guess. You live in shit and you will eat your own way out. I am too fly and shy like no other guy. Too fly and shy just for you. I'm to fly and shy just for you and what you are I know a girl who sells herself around and I'm sure that one day she'll sign autographs in your town You fucking whore, you live in shit, you fucking whore, who you fucking now? |
Open Wide - Meat Puppets
twenty-one little pink salamanders pass me by tonight twenty-one little red tongues are flickering in my sight amphibious thoughts are flowing with the salamanders showing of the 'touch of evil' tinted black and white open wide seventeen fat ripe rats hold stacks of juniper pie aloft thirty-four clever rat hands are juggling tarts on high these rodents know the craving for a slice, a sliver, or shaving no request for satisfaction is denied open wide |
Recruiting Sargeant
By Great Big Sea Two recruiting sergeants came to the CLB, for the sons of the merchants, to join the Blue Puttees So all the hands enlisted, five hundred young men Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me They crossed the broad Atlantic in the brave Florizel, And on the sands of Suvla, they entered into hell And on those bloody beaches, the first of them fell Chorus So it's over the mountains, and over the sea Come brave Newfoundlanders and join the Blue Puttees You'll fight in Flanders, and at Galipoli Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me Then the call came from London, for the last July drive To the trenches with the regiment, prepare yourselves to die The roll call next morning, just a handful survived. Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me Chorus The stone men on Water Street still cry for the day When the pride of the city went marching away A thousand men slaughtered, to hear the King say Enlist you Newfoundlanders and come follow me Chorus x3 Its a true story, and a sad one at that. A large portion of Newfoundlands population was killed in World War One all for 'King and Country'. In a single battle, 800 Newfoundlanders went over the trench wall, but only 68 survived until the next morning. Entire families were devastated, and yet, few Canadians today can remember the Blue Puttee's.They were named a Royal Regiment before the war was even over. Makes me feel proud to be a Canadian. Alas, Great Big Sea is capable of making this seem like a pretty upbeat song. They are also great at telling stories. |
Metallica - Battery
Lashing out the action, returning the reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries lunacy has found me cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression turns into obsession cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers never ending potency Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity Smashing through the boundaries lunacy has found me cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression turns into obsession cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing Powerhouse of energy Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry We create the Battery Smashing through the boundaries lunacy has found me cannot stop the Battery Pounding out aggression turns into obsession cannot kill the Battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery |
Frank Zappa. Waka/Jawaka,.....Your Mouth
Your mouth is your religion. You put your faith in a hole like that? You put your trust and your belief Above your jaw, and no relief Have I found I heard your story when you come home You said you went to see your sister last night. Well, you might lose a bunch of teeth And a funeral wreath While you'll be laying in the ground All alone So tell me, where are you coming from With all those lines As you stumble in the breakin' of the day. Where are you comin' from, my shot gun say Beacause he just might want to blow you away 'cause he just might want to blow you away An evil woman can make ya cry If you believe her every time she lies Well you can be a big fool If she makes you lose your cool, and so I've got me some advice you should try Just let her talk a little Just let her talk a little more Just.., let her talk a little more And when she runs out of words Just say the same thing I told ya before... Tell me, where are you coming from With all them lines? As you stumble in at the breakin' of the day Where are you coming from, my shot gun say Because he just might want to blow you away 'cause he just might want to blow you away. |
Radiohead - The Bends
Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird Where are you now, when I need you? Alone on an aeroplane Fall asleep on against the window pane My blood will thicken I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain Cos I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath But who are my real friends? Have they all got the bends? Am I really sinking this low? My baby's got the bends, oh no We don't have any real friends, no, no, no Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen Where do we go from here? The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear And where are you? They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines, To blow me away, to blow me sky high My baby's got the bends We don't have any real friends Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen I wanna live, breathe I wanna be part of the human race I wanna live, breathe I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird Where are you now when I need you? |
I love this song but only mainly for the chorus:
Artist : Linkin Park Song : Nobody's Listening Album : Meteora Coming at you Coming at you Coming at you Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it The number one question is: how could you ignore it And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks with rap stack Got you backing this up like rewind that We're just rolling with the rhythm Rise from the ashes of stylistic division With these non-stop lyrics are life living Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven But in the meantime there are those who want to talk this and that So I suppose that it gets to a point Where feelings got to get hurt And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt, it goes Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me Told you everything loud and clear but nobody's listening Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me Told you everything loud and clear but nobody's listening I've got a heart full of pain, head full of stress Hand full of anger held in my chest And everything left's a waste of time I hate my rhymes but I hate everyone else's more I'm riding on the back of this pressure Guessing that it's better I can't keep myself together Because all of this stress gave me something to write on And the pain gave me something I could set my sights on I'll never forget the blood, sweat, and tears The uphill struggle over years The fearing trash talking and the people it was to And the people that started it just like you Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me Told you everything loud and clear but nobody's listening Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me Told you everything loud and clear but nobody's listening I've got a heart full of pain, head full of stress Hand full of anger held in my chest Uphill struggle, blood, sweat, and tears Nothing to gain, everything to fear Heart full of pain, head full of stress Hand full of anger held in my chest Uphill struggle, blood, sweat, and tears Nothing to gain, everything to fear Heart full of pain Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me Told you everything loud and clear but nobody's listening Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me Told you everything loud and clear but nobody's listening I've got a heart full of pain, head full of stress Nobody's listening Hand full of anger held in my chest Nobody's listening Uphill struggle, blood, sweat, and tears Nobody's listening Nothing to gain, everything to fear Nobody's listening Coming at you Coming at you Coming at you Coming at you from every side |
i'm been listening to this song a bunch lately
Craig Morgan - Almost Home He had plastic bags wrapped 'round his shoes. He was covered with the Evening News. Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands. The bank sign was flashing "5 below", It was freezing rain an' spittin' snow; He was curled up behind some garbage cans. I was afraid that he was dead: I gave him a gentle shake. When he opened up his eyes, I said: "Old man, are you ok?" He said: "I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree. "I was runnin' from some honey bees. "Drip dryin' in the summer breeze, "After jumpin' into Calico Creek. "I was walkin' down an old dirt road, "Past a field of hay that had just been mowed. "Man, I wish you'd just left me alone, "'Cause I was almost home." Then he said: "I w's just comin' 'round the barn, "'Bout the time he grabbed my arm, "When I heard Momma holler: 'Son, hurry up.' "I was close enough for my own nose, "To smell fresh cobbler on the stove, "When I saw Daddy loadin' up the truck. "Cane poles on the tailgate, "Bobbers blowin' in the wind. "Since July of '55, "That's as close as I've been. "Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree. "Well, I was runnin' from some honey bees. "Drip dryin' in the summer breeze, "After jumpin' into Calico Creek. "An' I was walkin' down an old dirt road, "Past a field of hay that had just been mowed. "Man, I wish you'd just left me alone, "I was almost home." I said: "Old man you're gonna freeze to death, "Let me drive you to the mission." He said: "Boy, if you left me alone, "Right now, I'd be fishin'." "I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree. "I was runnin' from some honey bees. "An' drip dryin' in the summer breeze, "After jumpin' in to Calico Creek. "I was walkin' down an old dirt road, "Past a field of hay that had just been mowed. "Man, I wish you'd just left me alone, "'Cause I was almost home." (Almost home). "Man, I wish you'd just left me alone, "I was almost home." |

RAMBLE ON Led Zeppelin The leaves are falling all around Time I was on my way Thanks to you, I'm much obliged For such a pleasant stay But now it's time for me t' go The autumn moon lights my way But now I smell the rain And with it pain And it's headed my way Ah, sometimes I grow so tired But I know I've got one thing I've got to do Ramble on Now's the time, the time is now Sing my song I'm going 'round the world I got to find my girl On my way I've been this way ten years to the day Ramble on I got to find the queen of all my dreams Got no time to spending grief The time has come to be gone And to' our health we drank a thousand times It's time to ramble on A-ramble on Now's the time, the time is now Sing my song I'm going 'round the world I got to find my girl On my way I've been this way ten years to the day I got to ramble on I got to find the queen of all my dreams I ain't taking no ride Mine's a tale that can't be told My freedom I hold dear How years ago in days of old When magic filled the air 'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor I met a girl so fair But Gollum, and the evil one crept up And slipped away with her, her Her, her, her a-yeah An' ain't nothing I can do, now I guess I'll keep on Rambling, I'm gonna shake Sing my song, I'm gonna find my baby I'm gonna ramble on Sing my song, work my way, going 'round the world |
19th Nervous Breakdown, by the Rolling Stones, whenever i'm super stressed it starts running through my head.
You're the kind of person You meet at certain dismal dull affairs. Center of a crowd, talking much too loud Running up and down the stairs. Well, it seems to me that you have seen too much in too few years. And though you've tried you just can't hide Your eyes are edged with tears. You better stop Look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown. When you were a child You were treated kind But you were never brought up right. You were always spoiled with a thousand toys But still you cried all night. Your mother who neglected you Owes a million dollars tax. And your father's still perfecting ways of making ceiling wax. You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your nilne-teenth nervous breakdown. Oh, who's to blame, that girl's just insane. Well nothing I do don't seem to work, It only seems to make matters worse. Oh please. You were still in school When you had that fool Who really messed your mind. And after that you turned your back On treating people kind. On our first trip I tried so hard to rearrange your mind. But after while I realized you were disarranging mine. You better stop, look around Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown. Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown Here comes your nine-teenth nervous breakdown |

The Velvet Underground- Pale Blue Eyes
Sometimes I feel so happy, Sometimes I feel so sad. Sometimes I feel so happy, But mostly you just make me mad. Baby, you just make me mad. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Thought of you as my mountain top, Thought of you as my peak. Thought of you as everything, I've had but couldn't keep. I've had but couldn't keep. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. If I could make the world as pure and strange as what I see, I'd put you in the mirror, I put in front of me. I put in front of me. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Skip a life completely. Stuff it in a cup. She said, Money is like us in time, It lies, but can't stand up. Down for you is up." Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. It was good what we did yesterday. And I'd do it once again. The fact that you are married, Only proves, you're my best friend. But it's truly, truly a sin. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. Linger on, your pale blue eyes. |

Rivers of Avalon - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Deep insinde these sleeping shallows Far away where no one goes, now Take my place in golden space Of TV star that no one knows, now Deep, deep mystery is talking to me She's a giver of constant animation All around and ready to make a new formation You're the reason I'm in this world I don't believe in everything I see Rivers Of Avalon Your supernatural enegy Part of my scenery What I belong to is your ecstasy Rivers Of Avalon Your faith unwavering is key The clone of my own loneliness has got to fade What am I known to?

ZZ Top
I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide Well I was rollin' down the road in some cold blue steel, I had a bluesman in the back, and a beautician at the wheel. We're going downtown in the middle of the night We was laughing and I'm jokin' and we feelin' alright. Oh I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Easin' down the highway in a new Cadillac, I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back. They sportin' short dresses, wearin' spike-heeled shoes, They smokin' Lucky Strikes, wearing nylon too. Welcome back, we're nationwide. Yeah we bad, we're nationwide. Well I was movin' down the road in my V-8 Ford, I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered. With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed, Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made. I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide. |
Gorgeous song, I love her voice, and 12 Stones kicks ass!
Bring Me To Life Evanescence How can you see into my eyes like open doors. Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb. Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold until you find it there and lead it back home. (Wake me up. Wake me up inside. I can't wake up. Wake me up inside. Save me. Call my name and save me from the dark. Wake me up. Bid my blood to run. I can't wake up. Before I come undone. Save me. Save me from the nothing I've become.) Now that I know what I'm without you can't just leave me. Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life. [Chorus] Bring me to life. I've been living a lie There's nothing inside. Bring me to life. Frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling. Only you are the life among the dead. All of this sight I can't believe I couldn't see Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems. I've got to open my eyes to everything. Without a thought Without a voice Without a soul Don't let me die here There must be something wrong. Bring me to life. [Chorus] Bring me to life. I've been living a lie There's nothing inside. Bring me to life |
Grace - Jeff Buckley
There's the moon asking to stay Long enough for the clouds to fly me away Well it's my time coming, I'm not afraid to die My fading voice sings of love, but she cries to the clicking of time, Oh, time. Wait in the fire... And she weeps on my arm Walking to the bright lights in sorrow Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow Oh my love... And the rain is falling and I believe my time has come It reminds me of the pain I might leave behind... Wait in the fire And I feel them drown my name So easy to know and forget with this kiss I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow... |
Hard to believe it was 33 years ago today...
Crosby Stills Nash Young Four Dead In Ohio Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'. We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drummin'. Four dead in Ohio. Gotta get down to it. Soldiers are gunning us down. Should have been done long ago. What if you knew her and Found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know? Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. Gotta get down to it. Soldiers are cutting us down. Should have been done long ago. What if you knew her and Found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know? Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'. We're finally on our own. This summer I hear the drummin'. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. Four dead in Ohio. |
The Velvet Underground - Oh Sweet Nuthin'!
Say a word for Jimmy Brown He ain't got nothing at all He knocked the shirt right of his back He ain't got nothing at all And say a word for Ginger Brown He walks with his head down to the ground Took the shoes right off his feet And threw the poor boy right out in the street And this is what he said: Oh, sweet nuthin' She ain't got nothing at all Oh, sweet nuthin' She ain't got nothing at all Say a word for P??? M??? She can't tell the night from the day They threw her out in the street Just like a cat she landed on her feet And say a word for ??? ??? She ain't got nothing at all With every day she falls in love And every night she falls And when she does she says: Oh, sweet nuthin' You know She ain't got nothing at all [Woe, oh] sweet nuthin' She ain't got nothing at all Oh, let me hear you (guitar solo) Oh, say a word, say a word for Jimmy Brown He ain't got nothing at all, not a thing And not a shirt, shirt on his back No, he ain't got nothing at all And say a word for Ginger He walks with his head to the ground He took the shoes, took the shoes from his feet, from his feet And threw the poor boy out into the street And then he said: Oh, sweet sweet nuthin' She ain't got, she ain't got, she ain't got nothing at all Sweet sweet sweet sweet nuthin' She ain't got Sweet Sweet nothing ...

TIM McGRAW
"Red Rag Top" [Verse 1:] I was twenty and she was eighteen, we were just as wild as we were green, in the ways of the world she picked me up in that red rag top, we were free of the folks and hiding from the cops, on a summer night runnin' all the red lights we parked way out in a clearin'in a grove and the night was hot as a coal burnin' stove, we were cookin' the gas we were had to last In the back of that red rag top She said please don't stop [Verse 2:] Well the very first time her mother met me, her green eyed girl was a mother to be for 2 weeks I was out of a job and she was in school, life was fast and the world was cruel We were young and wild, we decided not to have a child So we did what we did and we tried to forget and we swore up and down there would be no regrets in the morning light, but on the way home that night On the back of that red rag top She said please don't stop.. lovin' me [Verse 3:] We took one more trip around the sun, It was all make believe in the end, No I can't say where she is today, I can't remember who I was, back then Well you do what you do and you pay for your sins, and there's no such thing as what might've been, that's a waste of time; drive you outta your mind I was stopped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl in a cabriolet and her eyes were green I was in an old scene I was back in that red rag top On the day she stopped Loving me I was back in that red rag top On the day she stopped Loving me God i love that song. |
Zz Top
Pearl Necklace She's really upset with me again, I didn't give her what she likes. I don't know what to tell her, Don't know what to say. Everything got funky last night. She was really bombed, And I was really blown away, Until I asked her what she wanted, And this is what she had to say: A pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She gets a charge out of bein' so weird, Digs gettin' downright strange. But I can keep a handle on anything, Just this side of deranged. She was gettin' bombed, And I was gettin' blown away, And she held it in her hand And this is what she had to say: A pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She is so tough, as pure as the driven slush. And that's not jewelry she's talkin' 'bout, It really don't cost that much. She was gettin' bombed, And I was gettin' blown away, And she took it in her hand, And this is what she had to say: A pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. She wanna pearl necklace. |
Nine Inch Nails - Terrible Lie
Hey god, why are you doing this to me? Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be? Why am I seething with this animosity? Hey God, I think you owe me a great big apology Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie Hey God, I really don't know what you mean Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme Hey God, Can this world really be as sad as it seems?

Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie Terrible lie You made me throw it all away My morals left to decay How many you betray You've taken everything Terrible lie My head is filled with disease My skin is begging you please I'm on my hands and knees I want so much to believe I give you everything.. my sweet everything.. I need someone to hold on to I need someone, I need someone I need someone to hold on to |

Boys Night Out - "Victor Versus The Victim"
this is the sound of tooth against bone against cheering crowds and broken homes. this is the end of my rope, so bite down...tell me how this concrete tastes and tell me for the last time that you're sorry so i can laugh out loud as i watch you struggle; broken, bloody and barely breathing. the truth is, there's been an autumn in me and it's been that way since may. yeah, i've hoped forever...diminishing myself with my unconscious. this is the end of the line...and my shoes, ripped and ruined from running, have finally found their final resting place at the base of your skull...and once again someone's left to clean up your mess. |
Neil Young
Lets Roll I know I said I love you, I know you know it's true, I got to put the phone down, And do what we gotta do. One's standing in the aisle way, Two more at the door, We got to get inside there, Before they kill some more. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. No time for indecision, We got to make a move, I hope that we're forgiven, For what we gotta do. How this all got started, I'll never understand, I hope someone can fly this thing, Get us back to land. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. No one has the answers, But one thing is true, You got to turn on evil, When it's comin' after you. You got to face it down, And when it tries to hide, You got to go in after it, And never be denied. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. Let's roll for freedom, Let's roll for love, Goin' after Satan, On the wings of a dove. Let's roll for justice, Let's roll for truth, Let's not let our children, Grow up fearful in their youth. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. Time is runnin' out, let's roll. |

Baby I Love Your Way Shadows grow so long before my eyes And they're moving across the page Suddenly the day turns into night Far away from the city But don't hesitate 'cuz your love won't wait Ooh baby I love your way (everyday) Wanna tell you I love your way Wanna be with you night and day Moon appears to shine and light the sky With the help of some fireflies I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine I can see them under the pine But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait Ooh baby I love your way (everyday) Wanna tell you I love your way Wanna be with you night and day But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait I can see the sunset in your eyes Brown and grey and blue besides Clouds are stalking islands in the sun I wish I could buy one out of season But don't hesitate'cuz your love won't wait Ooh baby I love your way (everyday) Wanna tell you I love your way Wanna be with you night and day Ooh baby I love your way (everyday) Wanna tell you I love your way Wanna be with you night and day |
BLINDED BY THE LIGHT
(Bruce Springsteen) Manfred Mann's Earth Band Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band And she was blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least" And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance Yeah he was blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong if you play that song with the funky break And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent some dude with a calling card, he said, do what you like, but don't do it here Well I jumped up, spit in the air, turned around, asked wich was the way back home He said take a right at the light, keep going straight until night, and then boy you're on your own And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar, we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon And some kidnapped handicap was complaining that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but he'd figured he'd be all right He was just blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun Oh but mama that's where the fun is |
Saddest song by someone you never heard of. If I die before I get old, I want someone to perform it at my funeral:
"Adam McCarthy" - Ralph Covert Lit a cigarette and smiled, alone in the kitchen It's all been more trouble than it's worth for Adam McCarthy Made a long-distance call, talked for an hour Dying at 33...Adam McCarthy And what about growing old, getting drunk, getting mad at your lover? What about making time for yourself? What have I done to deserve watching a friend waste away? And what about waking up, feeling good, acting like you're immortal? What about having a moment to lose? And what about having a place in the world? The doctor says "Hope, hope is the answer." But he means that he's run out of tricks for Adam McCarthy So I sat by his bed while he showed me his pictures The candles, the cake, and the two sunken eyes of Adam McCarthy And what about growing old, getting drunk, getting mad at your lover? What about making time for yourself? What have I done to deserve watching a friend waste away? And what about waking up, feeling good, acting like you're immortal? What about having a moment to lose? And what about having a place in the world? And I wanted to cry But I could see he was hungry for laughter And I wanted to say that I understood But how can you lie to a friend? He smiled and said "Do you want to get high? It's not like it's gonna kill me. I'm almost as dead as I'll get." said Adam McCarthy So we stared into space, lost in our own worlds And I said I'd come back when I could, but I never did make it And what about growing old, getting drunk, getting mad at your lover? What about making time for yourself? What have I done to deserve watching a friend waste away? And what about waking up, feeling good, acting like you're immortal? What about having a moment to lose? And what about having a place in the world? What about Adam McCarthy? |
One of my Favorite Songs ever....
You're All I Need...Motley Crew The blade of my knife Faced away from your heart Those last few nights It turned and sliced you apart This love that I tell Now feels lonely as hell From this padded prison cell So many times I said You'd only be mine I gave my blood and my tears And loved you cyanide When you took my lips I took your breath Sometimes love's better off dead You're all I need, make you only mine I loved you so I set you free I had to take your life You're all I need, you're all I need And I loved you but you didn't love me Laid out cold Now we're both alone But killing you helped me keep you home I guess it was bad Cause love can be sad But we finally made the news Tied up smiling I thought you were happy Never opened your eyes I thought you were napping I got so much to learn About love in this world But we finally made the news You're all I need, make you only mine I loved you so, so I put you to sleep. |
White Punks On Dope
the tubes Teenage had a race for the night time Spent my cash on every high I could find Wasted time in every school in L.A. Getting loose, I didn't care what the kids say We're white punks on dope Mom & Dad moved to Hollywood Hang myself when I get enough rope Can't clean up, though I know I should White punks on dope White punks on dope Other dudes are living in the ghetto But born in Pacific Heights don't seem much betto We're white punks on dope Mom & Dad live in Hollywood Hang myself when I get enough rope I can't clean up, though I know I should White punks on dope White punks on dope I go crazy 'cause my folks are so fucking rich Have to score when I get that rich white punk itch Sounds real classy, living in a chateau So lonely, all the other kids will never know We're white punks on dope Mom & Dad live in Hollywood Hang myself when I get enough rope Can't clean up, though I know I should White punks on dope White punks on dope |
Horse latitudes
The Doors When the still sea conspires an armor And her sullen and aborted Currents breed tiny monsters True sailing is dead Awkward instant And the first animal is jettisoned Legs furiously pumping Their stiff green gallop And heads bob up Poise Delicate Pause Consent In mute nostril agony Carefully refined And sealed over |
Pink floyd
"Childhood's End" off of the album Obscured By Clouds You shout in your sleep. Perhaps the price is just too stepp. Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test? You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart. Just one man beneath the sky, Just two ears, just two eyes. You set sail across the sea of longpast thoughts and memories. Childhood's end, Your fantasies merge with harsh realities. And then as the sail is hoist, You find your eyes are growing moist. All the fears never voiced say you have to make your final choice. Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why? Some are born; Some men die beneath one infinite sky. There'll be war, there'll be peace. But everything one day will cease. All the iron turned to rust; All the proud men turned to dust. And so all things, time will mend. So this song will end. |
Pink Floyd rules thats a great song!
Michelle Branch - Something to Sleep to She's his yellow brick road Leading him on And letting him go as far as she lets him go Going down to nowhere She puts on her make-up The same way she did yesterday Hoping everything's the same But everything has changed In my mind Everything we did was right Open your eyes, I'll still be by your side How could I ever have been so blind? You give me something to sleep to at night He wakes up to the sound So scared that she's leaving He wishes she were still asleep next to him Hoping she will change You give me something to sleep to And all I know is You give me something to dream to when I'm all alone and blue Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now |

The Girl From Ipanema
Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, each one she passes goes - ah When she walks, she's like a samba that swings so cool and sways so gentle That when she passes, each one she passes goes - ooh (Ooh) But I watch her so sadly, how can I tell her I love her Yes I would give my heart gladly, But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, and tan, and young, and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see) (She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...) Olha que coisa mais linda, mas cheia de graça Ela é a menina que vem e que passa Num doce balança a caminho do mar Moça do corpo dourado do sol del Ipanema O seu balançado parece um poema É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar (Ooh) But I watch her so sadly (Aah) Por que tudo é tão triste? Yes I would give my heart gladly, But each day, when she walks to the sea She looks straight ahead, not at me Tall, tan, young, lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking And when she passes, I smile - but she doesn't see (doesn't see) (She just doesn't see, she never sees me,...) Por causa do amor... She just doesn't see... Nem olha para mim... She never sees me... Por causa do amor... |
I completely forgot about this thread...
Cake - The Distance Reluctantly crouched at the starting line Engines pumping and thumping in time The green light flashes The flags go up Churning And burning The yearn for the cup They deftly maneuver And muscle for rank Fuel burning fast on an empty tank Reckless And wild They pour through the turns Their prowess is potent And secretly stern As they speed through the finish The flags go down The fans get up And they get out of town The arena is empty Except for one man Still driving And striving As fast as he can The sun has gone down and the moon has come up And long ago somebody left with the cup But he's driving And striving And hugging the turns And thinking of someone for whom He Still Burns He's going the distance He's going for speed She's all alone (all alone!) all alone in a time of need Because he's racing And pacing And plotting the course He's fighting And biting And riding on his horse He's going the distance No trophy No flowers No flashbulbs No line He's haunted by something he can not define Bowel-shaking earthquakes Of doubt and remorse Assail him Impale him With monster-truck force In his mind, he's still driving Still making the grade She's hoping in time that her memories will fade Cause he's racing And pacing And plotting the course He's fighting And biting And riding on his horse The sun has gone down and the moon has come up And long ago somebody left with the cup But he's driving And striving And hugging the turns And thinking of someone for whom He Still Burns He's going for speed She's all alone (all alone!) all alone in a time of need Because he's racing And pacing And plotting the course He's fighting And biting And riding on his horse He's going the distance He's going for speed He's going the distance |
Phil Ochs - Outside a Small Circle of Friends
Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody Outside of a small circle of friends. Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff Thirteen cars are piled up, they're hanging on a cliff. Now, maybe we should pull them back with our towing chain But we gotta move and we might get sued and it looks like it's gonna rain And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody Outside of a small circle of friends. Sweating in the ghetto with the colored and the poor The rats have joined the babies who are sleeping on the floor Now wouldn't it be a riot if they really blew their tops? But they got too much already and besides we got the cops And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody Outside of a small circle of friends. Oh, there's a dirty paper using sex to make a sale The Supreme Court was so upset, they sent him off to jail. Maybe we should help the fiend and take away his fine. But we're busy reading Playboy and the Sunday New York Times And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody Outside of a small circle of friends Smoking marihuana is more fun than drinking beer, But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why But demonstrations are a drag, besides we're much too high And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody Outside of a small circle of friends Oh look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody Outside of a small circle of friends |

Linkin Park song that I love because I could relate to it really heavily here recently..........
Don't Stay: Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe Sometimes I need you to stay away from me Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need you to go Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need to be alone Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away With no apologies Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay |
GLASS ONION
(Lennon / McCartney) The Beatles Lead Singer : John Lennon I told you about strawberry fields You know the place where nothing is real Well here's another place you can go Where everything flows Looking through the bent backed tulips To see how the other half live Looking through a glass onion I told you about the walrus and me, man You know that we're as close as can be, man Well here's another clue for you all The walrus is Paul Standing on the cast iron shore, yeah Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet, yeah Looking through a glass onion Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Looking through a glass onion I told you about the fool on the hill I tell you man he's living there still Well here's another place you can be Listen to me Fixing a hole in the ocean Tryin' to make a dovetail joint Looking through a glass onion |
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
"Stranger than Kindness" Stranger than kindness bottled light from hotels spilling everything wet hand from the volcano sobers your skin stranger than kindness you caress yourself and grind my soft bones below your map of desire burned in your flesh even a fool can come a strange lit stair and find a rope hanging there stranger than kindness keys rain like heaven's hair there is no home there is no bread we sit at the gate and scratch the gaunt fruit of passion dies in the light stranger than kindness your sleeping hands journey they loiter stranger than kindness you hold me so carelessly close tell me I'm dirty stranger than kindness |
Twiztid - Renditions of reality
I don't think you need to like twiztid to feel the words of this song. it makes me wanna cry at times, Take a look. When you slip into reality Hoes wanna straddle me Playa haters wanna battle me But I shed em all like calories Prophecy preacher Lend your ear and I'll reach ya And if your willing to be taught I'ma teach ya I'm not a people person Truth is I can't stand too many people So many fake the funk and perpetrate and call me evil But evil is a harsh word. Tell the mockingbird that I said it A man of my word I won't regret it If I let it get to me like it get to them I'm no better. The same message over and over with different sender Playa hatin is an art of a scandalous and shabby person Some do it oh so well I'll be damned if they don't rehearse it. Disperse it to people like me and you everyday And they expect the common man to turn his cheek and walk away And now I pray for an end to the madness No more sadness shall fall to my people That preside to be the baddest And all that they do and say But overshadowed by a cloud turnin night to day It's so tremendous that you couldn't even walk away If you chose to You even supposed to watch the ones you close too Now that's insane Tell me will it change I'm confused, not a thing to lose This shit is far from positive And saddens like the booze Payin dues ain't the only part of duties That bestowedto the chosen Spittin lyrics in the microphone And dodgin playa haters till my temple hit the ceiling And this how they got a nigga feeling I done fell into reality My renditions of reality Call it bad or good,wrong or right Believe in me Believe in me and I'll believe in you One day it's gonna hit me like a ton of bricks I'm feeling so sick, one of my dawgs passed and shit I'm feelin like killin em all But what's that solve? He still gonna be dead in the morning, why take the fall Inside I be so mad I'm finna burst Instead of a Chevys My homie's rollin in the back of a hearse. You know it's worse It's too hard to cope with some days Murderous ways leavin me sick and in a daze Comatose, completely tore up Nerves be so bad I wanna throw up I'm bout to blow up In a rage I need to talk, nobody wanna listen On the corner, murder mindstate condition Overload Pull the trigger Stress got the best of suicide Pour out some liquor Another grave digga gets paid Digging a grave for senseless ways . Keep to ourself and stay paid All of my dawgs can't die, I visit the sky and reminisce when I'm high I'm never gonna lie I got love for my peoples Dead or Alive Or we can smoke out in the ride in my memory Yeah Reality is just a fragment A fragment of our souls My eyes are closed My head is spinnin My head is spinnin I don't know. This is a musical masterpiece dedicated to down rydas Keep it in your clique, fuck the Outsiders People hatin' on everything and everything's the same Everybody is a player and life is a silly game It's a damn shame daddy died eleven years today. I wonder if he know I'm doin' straight Could you tell him something If you see my pops before I do Let him know that he's remembered by my crew And everyday in my mind, any place, any time Lookin in the sky for the seventh sign I walk around, nobody knows what I do Sealing fates and date rapes As my body transcends through this portal of life Smokin blunts, wrongin my rights I live for the night Because I melt in the light Completely out of sight For facts so unknown So grotesque never stated on microphones So alone in this fucked up world, it sucks dick Everybody got a problem with somethin Well you can bet I'll be the last one More like the last dragon of sorts To ever let this world contort their way of thinking It's so essential it gives us all the potential To take over the world, in our mentals If I can't live my life the way I wanna live my life Then why can't I die. Why can't I die My renditions of reality Bad or good, wrong or right Yeah (Reality is a fragment inside my soul) Believe in me (My eyes are closed, head spinnin and I don't know (It's just reality, bad or good, wrong or right Believe in me and I'll believe in you) My rendition of reality (And everything's tight) Reality is a fragment inside my soul My eyes are closed, head spinnin and I don't know, and I don't know, and I don't know... |
Been on a bit of an Alice in Chains binge recently.
No Excuses It's alright There comes a time Got no patience to search for peace of mind Layin' low Wanna take it slow No more hiding or disguising truths I've sold Everyday it's something hits me all so cold You find me sittin' by myself no excuses, then I know It's okay Had a bad day Hands are bruised from breaking rocks all day Drained and blue I bleed for you You think it's funny, well you're drowning in it too Everyday it's something hits me all so cold You find me sittin' by myself no excuses, then I know Yeah, it's fine Walk down the line Leave our rain, a cold Trade for warm sunshine You my friend I will defend And if we change, well I love you anyway Everyday it's something hits me all so cold Find me sittin' by myself no excuses, then I know ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Got Me Wrong Yeh it goes away All of this and more of nothing in my life No colored clay Individuality not safe As of now I bet you've got me wrong So unsure you run from something strong I can't let go Threadbare tapestry unwinding slow Feel a tortured brain Show your belly like you want me too As of now I bet you've got me wrong So unsure we reach for something strong I haven't felt like this in so long Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love That don't last forever Something got to turn out right You sugar taste Sweetness doesn't often touch my face Stay if you please You may not be here when I leave As of now I bet you've got me wrong So unsure we reach for something strong I haven't felt like this in so long Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love Strong, I haven't felt like this in so long Wrong, in a sense too far gone from love That don't last forever Something got to turn out right |

Drive By Truckers - Ronnie and Neil
Church blew up in Birmingham Four little black girls killed for no goddamn good reason All this hate and violence can't come to no good end A stain on the good name. A whole lot of good people dragged threw the blood and glass Blood stains on their good names and all of us take the blame Meanwhile in North Alabama, Wilson Pickett comes to town To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound Meanwhile in North Alabama, Aretha Franklin comes to town To record that sweet soul music, to get that Muscle Shoals sound And out in California, a rock star from Canada writes a couple of great songs about the Bad shit that went down "Southern Man" and "Alabama" certainly told some truth But there were a lot of good folks down here and Neil Young wasn't around Meanwhile in North Alabama, Lynyrd Skynyrd came to town To record with Jimmy Johnson at Muscle Shoals Sound And they met some real good people, not racist pieces of shit And they wrote a song about it and that song became a hit Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil Rock stars today ain't half as real Speaking there minds on how they feel Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil Now Ronnie and Neil became good friends their feud was just in song Skynyrd was a bunch of Neil Young fans and Neil he loved that song So He wrote "Powderfinger" for Skynyrd to record But Ronnie ended up singing "Sweet Home Alabama" to the lord And Neil helped carry Ronnie in his casket to the ground And to my way of thinking, us southern men need both of them around Ronnie and Neil Ronnie and Neil Rock stars today ain't half as real Speaking their minds on how they feel Let them guitars blast for Ronnie and Neil |

Tracy Chapman - FAST CAR
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Anyplace 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 And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We 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 You see my old man's got a problem He live 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 But 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 we were driving driving in your car The 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 And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a 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 You got a fast car And 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 would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving 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 Asta!! |

Taken from http://www.ohhla.com Yo...put one up shackle me, not clean logic procreation I did not invent the wheel I was the crooked spoke adjacent While the triple sixers lassos keep angels roped in the basement I walk the block with a halo and a stick poking your patience Ya'll catch a 30 second flash visual Dirty cooperative Neptune blue head hurt splits Ridiculous fathom the splicing of first generation fuck up or trickle down anti hero smack (Cracking!) I paste the game to zero all completion green (Splash!) Took an early retirement pick a dream American nightmare hogging the screen I'll hold the door open so you can stumble in and you would stop following me around the jungle gym Now it's an honor and I spell it with the 'H' I stole from heritage Marry crutch stolen wretched refuge refuse my teaming resonance I promise temperance storm breed with a leaning conscious In a credence relax responsive with my sports outsource the wattage And I'm sleeping now (Wow!) And the settlers laugh You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash You won't be laughing when the buses drag your brother's flags into rags You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs You won't be laughing And I hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed So I triple knot them then I forgot them This origami dream is beautiful but man those wings will never leave the ground Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. Slacker bounded imitated tabloid headlined with the post Shimmy cross the centerfold, and a dead time in ghosts Giving crumbs for the better souls with seven deadly sins To hear the plane to crystal conscious To results a low life counting on one hand what he's accomplished Ok, lift me to activism chain activate street sweep Plug in deteriorating zenith pen dragging I hack swords wars for the morbid spreading of mad men Now he's got soul Sitting there licking log cabin in Charlie Chaplin waddle I could zig zag and zig 'em again for the bad dreams Sparking my brick wall windows another thicket storm And if one night in Gotham without the wretched Houston we have a problem Dispatch a task of infested patch of city goblins Who split how many freaks with box cuts of a high road bellow Heads ripped! Watch red bricks turn yellow Sort of similar to most backbones at camp Icarus Raw feelings start congregating at pamper for bickering Life's not a bitch life is a beautiful woman Your only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess Kiss the speaker wire or either pass it for some pagan thresh hold Stomach full of halo kibbles Wings span cast black of porn visuals hear the duck hunt ticker tape Vision and pick apart the pixels I got a friend of polar nature and it's all peace When I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast Metal Captain! This cat is asking if I've seen his little lost passion I told him: "Yeah, but only when I pedaled past him" All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day, put the pieces back together my way. |
Beta Band - The Three EP's - Dogs Got A Bone lyrics:
One, Two, Three, Four Dog's got a bone, all of his own Wednesday morning, middle of the road Can't help this feeling, of feeling so alone Gotta go home now, dog's got a bone now. Listen you will see, coming on in to me Listen you will see, coming on in to me Listen you will see that we are climbing Listen you will see that we are climbing Wish you were here, tied to the pier Words disappear, every time you call me So won't you come home now If you're feeling so alone now Dog's got a bone, all of his own now Listen you will see, coming on in to me Listen you will see, coming on in to me Listen you will see that we are climbing Listen you will see that we are climbing Listen you will see, coming on in to me Listen you will see, coming on in to me Listen you will see that we are climbing Listen you will see that we are climbing Yeah, do, do, do, do (repeated) Falling on your face with a little white safe |
Down in a hole~ Alice in Chains
Bury me softly in this womb I give this part of me for you Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers In a tomb...in bloom Down in a hole and I don’t know if I can be saved See my heart I decorate it like a grave You don’t understand who they Thought I was supposed to be Look at me now a man Who won’t let himself be Down in a hole, feelin’ so small Down in a hole, losin’ my soul I’d like to fly, But my wings have been so denied Down in a hole and they’ve put all The stones in their place I’ve eaten the sun so my tongue Has been burned of the taste I have been guilty Of kicking myself in the teeth I will speak no more Of my feelings beneath Down in a hole, feelin’ so small Down in a hole, losin’ my soul I’d like to fly but my Wings have been so denied Bury me softly in this womb Oh I want to be inside of you I give this part of me for you Oh I want to be inside of you Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers (oh I want to be inside of you) In a tomb...in bloom Oh I want to be inside... Down in a hole, feelin’ so small Down in a hole, losin’ my soul Down in a hole, feelin’ so small Down in a hole, outta control I’d like to fly but my Wings have been so denied |

temptation- why won't you leave me alone? lurking every corner, everywhere i go self control- don't turn your back on me now when i need you most constant pressure tests my will my will or my wont my self control escapes from me still... hypocrite- how could you be so cruel and expect my faith in return? resistance- is not as hard as it seems when you close the door i spent so long trusting in you i trust you forgot just when i thought i believed in you... it's time for me to deal becoming all too real living in fear- why did you lie and pretend? this has come to an end i'll never trust you again it's time you made your amends look in the mirror my friend let's stare the problem right in the eye it's plagued me from coast to coast racing the clock to please everyone all but the one who matters the most reflections of reality are slowly coming into view how in the hell could you possibly forgive me? after the helli put you through it's time for me to deal becoming all too real living in fear- why'd i betray my friend? lying until the end living life so pretend it's time to make my amends i'll never hurt you again |
Mad World by Gary Jules.
All around me are familiar faces Worn out places ? worn out faces Bright and early for their daily races Going nowhere ? going nowhere Their tears are filling up their glasses No expression ? no expression Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow No tomorrow ? no tomorrow And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I?m dying are the best I?ve ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles it?s a very very mad world mad world Children waiting for the day they feel good Happy birthday ? happy birthday Made to feel the way that every child should Sit and listen ? sit and listen Went to school and I was very nervous No one knew me ? no one knew me Hello teacher tell me what?s my lesson Look right through me ? look right through me And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad The dreams in which I?m dying are the best I?ve ever had I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles it?s a very very Mad world . . . world Enlarge your world Mad world |

Pink Floyd
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 chains ? 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 |
My namesake:
God of Thunder - KISS You've got something about you You've got something i need Daughter of aphrodite Hear my words and take heed I was born on olympus To my father a son I was raised by the demons Trained to reign as the one God of thunder and rock and roll The spell you're under Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul I'm the lord of the wastelands A modern day man of steel I gather darkness to please me And i command you to kneel Before the God of thunder and rock and roll The spell you're under Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul I am the lord of the wastelands A modern day man of steel I gather darkness to please me And i command thee to kneel Before the God of thunder and rock and roll The spell you're under Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul |
Hell yeah kiss rules !!! Anyways one of my favorites..
Pantera Strength Beyond Strength There is nothing. No education. No family life to open my Arms to. You'd say that my job is today, yet gone tomorrow. I'll be broke in a gutter. I know the opinion. A broken record. Fuck you and your College dream. Fact is, we're stronger than all. You're working for perfect bodies, perfect minds and perfect Neighbors. But I'm helping to legalize dope on Your pristine streets and I'm making a fortune. You're muscle and gall. Naive at best. I'm bone, brain and Cack. Deep down stronger than all. A sad state of affairs. A crippled America. A pipe dream Buttfucked. Immune. Stronger than all. A lament for a rookie officer, punk ass weak little lamb. For the mob, truly, does rule at this particular time. We've grown into a monster. An arrogant, explosive motherf*ck. Hard as a rock. Shut like a lock. Finally, the president in submission. He holds out his hand on Your television and draws back a stump. It's too late for some. Far too late. No more holdbacks. No more paying a cops paycheck. Let him Bust his own child. The son that heeds my word and smokes my dope. The daughter that sucks me off and snorts cheap anything. Hail Kings. The new Kings. Stronger than all. A simple process to legalize. There would not be a choice but to Take our side. Be there no question of certain strengths. Know This intention. Forever stronger than all. |
I love this song, mostly because the lyrics make me think and stick around in my head after the song is over.
Naked: Mann's Chinese Gilded ghetto Hollywood stained below 'bout every street I know About some girls from Tokyo Can't believe they even care So crowd around and put your hands down there He's been dead almost thirty years No I don't belong here No I don't belong here Never gonna bend and I'm never gonna break Everybody fronts, everybody fakes Never gonna stop, and I'm never gonna stay Here at the Mann's Chinese Oh, Mann's Chinese Used to live right near They built a bar called the New Frontier With chartreuse drinks and atmosphere They closed it up in the very same year Then Batman II premiered You could feel the riots in the air All the natives sitting and sipping beer and they're thinking No we don't belong here No we don't belong here Never gonna bend and I'm never gonna break Everybody fronts, everybody fakes Never gonna stop, and I'm never gonna stay Here at the Mann's Chinese Oh, Mann's Chinese Everynody watch, everybody wave Boulevard of dreams, everything it seems Shine and you believe I've gotta get away, no I'm never gonna stay Here at the Mann's Chinese Oh, Mann's Chinese Fredrick's burned down There were mourners all around Fear swept through the theater crowd they're thinking No, we don't belong here No, we don't belong here Never gonna bend and I'm never gonna break Everybody fronts, everybody fakes Never gonna stop, and I'm never gonna stay Here at the Mann's Chinese Oh, Mann's Chinese Everynody watch, everybody wave Boulevard of dreams, everything it seems Shine and you believe I've gotta get away, no I'm never gonna stay Here at the Mann's Chinese The Mann's Chinese |
This song reminds me of good times as a young'en.
Beastie Boys - Egg Man Agh yea... I looked out the window and seen his bald head Ran to the fridge and pulled out an egg Scoped him with my scopes he had no hair Launched that shot and he was caught out there Saw the convertible driving by Loaded up the slingshot and let one fly He went for his to find he didn't have one Put him in check correct with my egg gun The egg a symbol of life Go inside your house and bust out your wife I pulled out the jammy he thought it was a joke The trigger I pulled his face the yoke Reached in his pocket took all his cash Left my man standing with an egg moustache Suckers they come a dime a dozen When I say dozen you know what I'm talking about boy Yea that's right I'm the Egg Man Driving around King of the town "Yea" Always got my windows rolled down Ready to throw You know I'm the Egg Man Once upon a time "Egg Man.." Humpty Dumpty was a big fat egg He was playing the wall then he broke his leg Tossed it out the window three minutes hot Hit the Rastaman he said "bloodclot" Which came first the chicken or the egg I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg Riding the trains in between cars When I pull out the station "you're gonna get yours" Drive by eggings plaguing L.A. "Yo they just got my little cousin ese" Sometimes hard boiled sometimes runny Ray Comes from a chicken not a bunny dummy People laugh, it's no joke My name's Yauch and I'm throwing the yoke "Now they got me in a cell" but I don't care It was then that I caught catching people out there Up on the roof In my car up all night I'm going through science like Dolemite The Mack Who I'm the Egg Man, taxi driver I'm the Egg Man "Egg Man Egg Man.." We all dressed in black we snuck up around the back We began to attack the eggs did crack on Haze's back Sam I am down with the program Green eggs and ham Yosemite Sam Come Halloween you know I come strapped I throw it at a sucker K-pap You made the mistake and judge a man by his race You go through life with egg on your face Woke up in the morning peculiar feeling Looked up and saw egg dripping from the ceiling Families punk rocks the businessman I'll dog anybody with an egg in my hand Not like the crack that you put in a pipe But crack on your forehead here's a towel now wipe "Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man Egg Man.." Egg Man.. |
Some of these are very good. Listening to "Pale Blue Eyes" right now - great stuff.
My addition: "I've Been Everywhere" by Johnny Cash I was totin my pack along the long dusty Winnamucka road When along came a semi with a high canvas covered load If your goin' to Winnamucka, Mack with me you can ride And so I climbed into the cab and then I setteled down inside He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand And I said, "Listen!

A.F.I. - Story At Three
Again and again they blend into one, my father the morning pushes through moonlight love. So what's sleep? Sleep. I'm tired, so tired, but it seems that there's someone here with me. We are the wakeful, wry, watchful. We're awaiting. Deathless ones. A story at three with the shrillest of cries. My mind fights with the sparkles in the corner of my eyes. I hear the morning choir sing to me their elegy. So beautiful. They sing to me their elegy. Requiem. |
1983 ... ( A merman I should turn to be ) Jimi Hendrix
Hurrah i awake from yesterday Alive but the war is here to stay So my love catherina and me Decide to take our last walk Through the noise to the sea Not to die but to be re-born Away from a life so battered and torn.... Forever... Oh say can you see its really such a mess Every inch of earth is a fighting nest Giant pencil and lip-stick tube shaped things Continue to rain and cause screaming pain And the arctic stains >From silver blue to bloody red As our feet find the sand And the sea is strait ahead.. Strait ahead..... Well its too bad That our friends Cant be with us today Well thats too bad "The machine That we built Would never save us" That's what they say (That's why they aint coming with us today) And they also said "It's impossible for man To live and breath underwater.. Forever" was their main complaint (Yeah) And they also threw this in my face: They said Anyway You know good well It would be beyond the will of God And the grade of the King (Grace of the King yeah yeah) So my darling and I Make love in the sand To salute the last moment Ever on dry land Our machine has done its work Played its part well Without a scratch on our bodies And we bid it farewell Starfish and giant foams Greet us with a smile Before our heads go under We take a last look At the killing noise Of the out of style... The out of style, out of style |
St. Lawrence River - David Usher
Smells on the air See there it's crushing the final impression The stains on the paper Where words fell like water Unearth all the changes that never did matter I think it's beginning to freeze here Caught in the rage and the fire of things All the brightness that burns me I'm fumbling through like a child in the dark When the nakedness comes I am shocked by the colour the glorious weight of your skin Comes alive And I never thought we'd make it back so soon Might be nice But I knew you'd be your own destroyer Comes a time And I always thought I'd make it up to you Here please forgive me Could we escape all the bitterness piled upon bitterness Held in the face of the things that I don't understand Intellectualize over and over This helplessness suits us Funny how quiet has slipped to our corners Worn all our edges away You are watching breathing and baiting Wanting and warming and cautiously waiting For some simple signal to creep cross your conscience Uncover redemption and oh did I mention I carried you down to the St. Lawrence River The banks running dirty the water's beginning to freeze here Solid by morning And I'll freeze here Winter by morning Comes a lie And I never thought you'd get me back so soon Might be nice But it's only if my own destroyer Comes alive And I always knew I'd make it up to you I saw on your face such a curious grin As I let go your hand I was desperate to hold you again But you're sinking so deep in the water Outsmarted myself and so easily gave up what I wanted Solid by morning What I wanted Winter by morning Comes alive And I never thought you'd make it up so soon Might be nice But I always knew you're my destroyer Comes a time And I always thought I'd make it up to you Solid by morning And I'll freeze here Winter by morning |

"Nautical Disaster"
by The Tragically Hip I had this dream where I relished The fray and the screaming that filled my head all day It was as though I'd been spit there, settled in , into a pocket Of a lighthouse off some rocky socket, Off the coast of France, Dear One afternoon, four thousand men died in the water here Five hundred more were thrashing madly as parasites might in your blood Now I was in lifeboat designed for ten and ten and only, Anything that systematic would get you hated. It's not a deal nor a test nor a love of something fated. The selection was quick, the crew was picked and those left in the water got kicked off our pant leg and we headed for home. Then the dream ends when the phone rings You doing alright he said it's out there ,most days and nights But only a fool would complain Anyway Susan if you like our conversation is as faint as the sound in my memory As those fingernails scratching on the hull |
Grinspoon
"Hate" Woke up to find you weary, Left hand was in the red room, My, my our thoughts were black then, So does it make a difference you, Always by my side, always by my side. Ghosts in the blue floor new room, Controlling students. Hey, hey the glitter girl gown, So does it make a difference, your, Never going to change, always be the same. And I'll, hate you everyday, hate you everyday. Wait for the reasons to change, I know no better. You could do anything but, Just don't say whatever, your Always by my side, always by my side, And I'll, love you everyday, it's never going to change. Woke up to find you weary, Left hand was in the red room, My, my our thoughts were black then. So does it make a difference you, Always by my side, always by my side. And I'll, hate you everyday, hate you everyday. Cause your, never going to change, Always be the same. It's so good to be in love again. absolutelly fucken love this song and the band... most of their stuff is heavy but this is an accoustic song and gives me sorta chillls... give em' a go. |
Converge
Heaven In Her Arms Death was a simple glance across a dim lit room And those eyes did it Those three words did it Those three words killed him And I surrender to you Forgive me for the sadness And the bringing of you down I just needed a lover and I needed a friend And there you were Running from forever like all the rest Three simple words bled me dry Three simple word bled us dry I love you |
"Euphoria"
The Holy Moley Rounders Don't remember all of this one, and too lazy to go find the CD, and play it right now, but goes like this... Ma's out there switchin in the kitchen An Pa's in the living room grouchin and bitchin An I'm out here kickin the gong for Euphoria When your mind starts reelin and a rockin Your inside horses start squeelin and squockin Floatin along on a bella donna cloud Singin Euphoria |
Dropkick Murphys - "Walk Away"
======================= So you say you fell in love And you're gonna get married Raise yourself a family How simple life can be Somewhere it all went wrong And your plan just fell apart And you aint got the heart to finish what you started Yeah you fell in love And you went and got married Had yourself a family How simple life can be Somewhere it all went wrong And your plan just fell apart And you aint got the heart to finish what you started The ones that you loved The ones that you left behind The ones that you said you tried to find Are they trying to find you? [x2] Somewhere it all went wrong And your plan just fell apart And you aint got the heart to finish what you started You walked out that door To find out where you belong To fufill your own selfish dreams I think you might have forgotton The ones that you loved The ones that you left behind The ones that you said you tried to find Are they trying to find you? [x2] |
3 Libras Lyrics
by A Perfect Circle threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back, a name in your recollection, thrown down among a million same. difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed and passed over when i've looked right through to see you naked and oblivious and you don't see me.but i threw you the obvious just to see if there's more behind the eyes of a fallen angel, the eyes of a tragedy. here i am expecting just a little bit too much from the wounded. but i see through it all and see you. so i threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel, eyes of a tragedy. oh well. apparently nothing. you don't see me. you don't see me at all. |
Cat Power - Cross Bones Style
Oh how time flies With crystal clear eyes And cold as coal When you're ending with diamond eyes Oh come child In a crossbones style Oh come child Come and rescue me 'Cause you have seen some Unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds and still 'Cause you have seen some unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds Oh come child In a crossbones style Oh come child Come rescue me 'Cause you have seen some Unbelievable things Hater I have your diamonds and still So still Oh how time flies With crystal clear eyes And cold as coal When you're ending with diamond eyes Oh come child In a crossbones style Oh come child Come and rescue me 'Cause you have seen some Unbelievable things |
One of the most haunting songs that I know and love to listen to.
Opeth - Windowpane Blank face in the windowpane Made clear in seconds of light Disappears and returns again Counting hours, searching the night Might be waiting for someone Might be there for us to see Might be in need of talking Might be staring directly at me Inside plays a lullaby Slurred voice over children cries On the inside Haunting loneliness in the eye Skin covering a secret scars His hand is waving a goodbye There's no response or action returned There is deep prejudice in me Outshines all reason inside Given dreams all ridden with pain And projected unto the last --jaded |
I'v always thought this one was pretty depressing or sad:
Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon We met as soul mates on Parris Island We left as inmates from an asylum And we were sharp, as sharp as knives And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives We came in spastic like tameless horses We left in plastic as numbered corpses And we learned fast to travel light Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight We had no home front, we had no soft soap They sent us Playboy, they gave us Bob Hope We dug in deep and shot on sight And prayed to Jesus Christ with all our might We had no cameras to shoot the landscape We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes And it was dark, so dark at night And we held on to each other Like brother to brother We promised our mothers we'd write And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes we would all go down together Remember Charlie, remember Baker They left their childhood on every acre And who was wrong? And who was right? It didn't matter in the thick of the fight We held the day in the palm of our hand They ruled the night, and the night Seemed to last as long as six weeks... ...On Parris Island We held the coastline, they held the highlands And they were sharp, as sharp as knives They heard the hum of our motors They counted the rotors And waited for us to arrive And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes we would all go down together |
Lovingly dedicated by OJ to Nicole and Ron...
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. [LAURYN] I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style, And so I came to see him and listen for a while. And there he was this young boy, stranger to my eyes, Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, Killing me softly with this song, killing me softly with this song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd, I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud. I prayed that he would finish, But he just kept right on strumming my pain with his fingers, (One Time!) Singing my life with his words, (Two Time!) Killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song [CLEF] Yo L-Boogie, take it to the bridge [LAURYN] (Bust it) Strumming my pain with his fingers, Singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song, Killing me softly with his song, Telling my whole life with his words, Killing me softly with his song. Strumming my pain with his finger, yeah he was . . . [shoutouts and fade] |
White Wedding Lyrics
by Billy Idol Hey little sister what have you done Hey little sister who's the only one Hey little sister who's your superman Hey little sister who's the one you want Hey little sister shot gun! It's a nice day to start again It's a nice day for a white wedding It's a nice day to start again. Hey little sister what have you done Hey little sister who's the only one I've been away for so long (so long) I've been away for so long (so long) I let you go for so long It's a nice day to start again (come on) It's a nice day for a white wedding It's a nice day to start again. (Pick it up) Take me back home There is nothin' fair in this world There is nothin' safe in this world And there's nothin' sure in this world And there's nothin' pure in this world Look for something left in this world Start again Come on It's a nice day for a white wedding It's a nice day to start again. It's a nice day for a white wedding It's a nice day to start again |
