Making a comeback, post your fav. song lyrics

"Dizzy"


you're just another pretty face
in a room full of whor3s
no you don't mean much
used to be so naive,
catatonic now you seem to be
so much better than before

now you've made a mess of yourself
youve made a mess of everything
you're a mess
a f**kin' mess

dumb dumb dizzy dizzy
dumb dumb dizzy dizzy

"Thoughtless"

Coming through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you under ground, ground, ground

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the f**k you think your doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying when you're dirty in the front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

Coming through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger
And you're down, down, down

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the f**k you think your doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying when you're dirty in the front of me

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All my friends are gone, they died
(Gonna take you down!)
They all screamed and cried
(Gonna take you down!)


I got my monkey
Got my monkey back against the wall
(Gonna take you down!) *repeat verse*

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

"The Ruiner"

you had all of them on your side
didn't you?
didn't you?
you believed in all your lies
didn't you?
didn't you?

the ruiner's got a lot to prove
he's got nothing to lose
and now he made you believe
the ruiner's your only friend
well, he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
the raping of the innocent
you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my ****ing world is wearing your disease

how'd you get so big?
how'd you get so strong?
how'd it get so hard?
how'd it get so long?

you had to give them all a sign
didn't you?
didn't you?
you had to covet what was mine
didn't you? (didn't you?)
didn't you? (oh)

the ruiner's a collector
he's an infector
serving his **** to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
maybe it's a part of me you took it to a place i hoped it would never go
and maybe that ****ed me up much more than you'll ever know

how'd you get so big?
how'd you get so strong?
how'd it get so hard?
how'd it get so long?
and what you gave to me
my perfect ring of scars
you know I can see
what you really are

you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now
you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now
you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now
you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now
you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now
you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me
you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop

Alanis Morissette

"right through you"

Wait a minute, man
You mispronounced my name
You dind't wait for all the information
Before you turned me away
Wait a minute sir
You kind of hurt my feelings
You see me as a sweet back-loaded puppet
And you've got a meal ticket taste

(chorus)
I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you

You took me for a joke
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ***
And then played golf for a while
You shake is like a fish
You pat me on the head
You took me out to wine dine 69 me
But didn't hear a damn word I said

(repeat chorus)

Hello Mr. Man
You didn't think I'd come back
You didn't think I'd show up with my army
And this ammunition on my back
Now that I'm Miss Thing
Now that I'm a zillionaire
You scan the credits for your name
And wonder why it's not there

(repeat chorus)

Alanis M.

"Wake Up"

You like snow but only if it's warm
You like rain but only if it's dry
No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for

Cause it's easy not to
So much eaiser not to
And what goes around never comes around to you

You like pain but only if it doesn't hurt too much
You sit...and you wait...to receive
There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in you life
There's an obvious aversion no ammount of my insistance
could make you try tonight

Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you to you to you to you to you...

There's no love no money no thrill anymore
There's an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
There's an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand

But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you

get up get up get up off of it
get up get up get up off of it
get out get outta here enough already
get up get up get up off of it
wake up

"Son of a Gun (remix)"

[Janet]

Greedy, greedy, greedy
Try to have the cake and eat it, too.

[Missy Elliott]
Missy! Ha, ha! Remix!
Yo, check this out you greedy motha f******

And switched all the locks to all my doors
You thought my heart would be destroyed
Look around cuz I’m chillin’ boy
Whatcha goin’ get your lawyer for?
I makes my dough and just for sure you know
Your lawyers should have let you know, you know,
When you sue me you gonna be broke, you know,
Ain’t no way you gonna bring me down easy
Any chick that you stick is real sleazy
Before I need you, I bet you gonna need me
You ain’t want me, anyway you wanted to be me.
What made you think I wanted to keep you around
While I work my a** off while you just lounge around, huh?
You slump, bum, son of a gun,
And uh, How much you worth? I think negative, done

[Janet]
Sharp shooter into breakin’ hearts
A baby gigolo, a sex pistol
Hollerin’ at everything that walks
No substance, just small talk
Know why you’re feelin’ on that girl’s behind,
You got a sleazy, one track mind
Workin’ your work until you find
Who’s goin’ home with you tonight.

[Janet (Missy)]
Oh, (Oh!) Who you gonna give it to? Who you gonna steal it from?
Who’s your next victim? (That’s right now)
Oh, (Oh!) Who you gonna lie to? Who you gonna cheat on?
Who you gonna leave alone? (That’s what I’m talkin’ about)
Oh, (Oh!) What you gonna tell her, after she discovers,
you don’t really love her?
Oh, (Oh!) It’s gonna be a show down, knock down, drag down,
gun slugger shoot ‘em up

[Janet & Carly Simon]
I betcha think this song is about you,
I betcha think this song is about you,
I betcha think this song is about you,
I betcha think this song is about you,
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you.

[Missy]
I’m doin’ better without you, and I’m happy without you.

[Janet]
Sweatin’ me but I’m not you’re type,
You think you irk me, and you’re so right,
I’d rather keep the trash and throw you out,
Stupid b**** in my beach house
No, I ain’t gonna go and act a fool,
And be the lead story, on the n**** news
Not me, sucker, I’d never be your lover,
I’d rather make you suffer, you stupid motha f*****

[Janet (Missy)]
Oh, (Oh!) Who you gonna give it to? Who you gonna steal it from?
Who’s your next victim? (That’s right now)
Oh, (Oh!) Who you gonna lie to? Who you gonna cheat on?
Who you gonna leave alone? (That’s what I’m talkin’ about)
Oh, (Oh!) What you gonna tell her, after she discovers,
you don’t really love her?
Oh, (Oh!) It’s gonna be a show down, knock down, drag down,
gun slugger shoot ‘em up

[Missy]
You must have thought you had game, now you, what?
Walkin’ ‘round, like you’re down, you don’t give a…
But you don’t really wanna be forgot into the streets,
I’m a lover, not a fighter, but I crack your teeth
Boy I plead please, no, don’t bother me.
Cuz when you had me you ain’t know how to chill wit’ me
You wanna be in the streets with the freak-nies
But now you all up on them knees, still joggin’ me.
But I’m gonna say it real, real, keep it real,
What the deal? How you feel? Is it real? Is you sick?
Cuz I’m the deal, still here, what the feelin’
Is real, don’t front, cuz boy I’m the…
I’m doin’ better without you, playa, and I’m happy without you, playa,
This song is about you, playa
Motha f***** son of a gun, Janet!

[Janet]
Got a chip upon your shoulder, I just knocked it off,
Show me what you’re gonna do, I ain’t ‘bout to run,
You have just run out of ammunition,
Shootin’ blanks now, you son of a gun.

[Missy]
Missy, Janet, Carly

[Janet (Missy)]
Oh, (Oh!) Who you gonna give it to? Who you gonna steal it from?
Who’s your next victim? (That’s right now)
Oh, (Oh!) Who you gonna lie to? Who you gonna cheat on?
Who you gonna leave alone? (That’s what I’m talkin’ about)
Oh, (Oh!) What you gonna tell her, after she discovers,

[Carly (over Janet and Missy)]
No, no, no, no, no, it’s not what you say, it’s what you do
You’re so vain,
You probably think this song is about you,
Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you, don’t you.

[Janet & Carly]
I betcha think this song is about you,
I betcha think this song is about you,
I betcha think this song is about you,

Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you.

Ha, ha, who, who
Thought you’d get the money, too
Greedy, greedy, greedy
Try to have the cake and eat it, too.

Haha, <3 Son of a Gun

I've been recently introduced to Stephen Lynch
(btw, as far as the info is available to me, only the first two are by Lynch; feel free to correct me anyone)

Special Fred
When I was,
A boy of ten
I had a very best friend

Fred was kind
with good intent
but just a little different

Oooh, Special Fred
mama dropped him on his head
now he's not so bright instead
he's a little bit special
just a little bit

We'd play tag
and he'd get hurt
I'd play a soldier
he'd eat dirt

I liked math,
and spelling bees
fred liked talking to a tree

ooh special Fred
Mama dropped him on his head
now she keeps him in the shed
cuz he's a little bit special
just a little bit

I ran track,
hung out at malls
fred ran headfirst
into walls

I had girls
and lots of clothes
fred had names
for all his toes

ooh special fred
mama dropped him on his head
now he thinks
he's a piece of bread
cuz he's a little bit special
just a little bit

one day, when talking to special fred,
he grabbed a brick and he swung at my head
and as he laughed at me
that's when I knew
special fred just made
me special toooo!

Now I laugh as I count bugs
I give strangers great big hugs
next to me, fred is fine
yeah, he's a ****in Einstein
ooh special fred,
now we're not right in the head
now we're not so bright instead
we're a little bit special
just a little bit special
that ****er fred made me special
just a little bit

Yeah Toast!

people always say what do you like most,
I don't wanna brag i don't wanna boast,
I always tell 'em I like toast.

yeah TOAST yeah TOAST

i get up in the mornin' bout six AM,
have a little jelly have a little jam,
take a piece of bread put it in the slot,
push down the lever and the wires gets hot,

now there's no secret to toasting perfection,
there's a dial on the side and you make your selection,
push to the dark or the light and then,
if it pops too soon press down again,
make toast.

yeah TOAST yeah TOAST

when the first caveman drove in from the drags,
didn't know what would go with the bacon and the eggs,

Dead Puppies
Dead puppies, dead puppies,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

They don't come, when you call,
They don't chase squirrels at all --
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

My puppy died late last fall,
He's still rotting in the hall --
Dead puppies aren't much fun.
No, no, no ...

Mom says puppy's days are through,
She's going to throw him in the stew --
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

Dead puppies, dead puppies,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

Dead puppies, dead puppies,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

Dead puppies, dead puppies,
Dead puppies aren't much fun.

The Sick Note
Dear Sir I write this note to tell you of my plight
And at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight
My body is all black and blue, and my face a deathly gray
And I write this note to say why I am not at work today

While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear
Now throw them down from such a height was not a good idea
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he is an awkward sod
He said I had to cart them down the ladder in me hod.

Now clearing all those bricks by hand, it was so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below
But in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to see
A barrel full of building bricks is heavier than me.

So when I then untied the rope, the barrel dropped like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead
I shot up like a rocket till to my dismay I found
Half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down.

The barrel broke my shoulder as to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head
Still clinging tightly to the rope from this almighty blow
While the barrel spilled out half the bricks fourteen floors below

Now when those building bricks fell from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel so I started down once more
Still clinging tightly to the rope my body racked with pain
When halfway down I met the bloody barrel once again

Now the force of this collision halfway down the office block
Caused multiple abrasions and a nasty case of shock
Still clinging tightly to the rope I sped towards the ground
And I landed on the broken bricks that were all ascattered round

Now as I lay there groaning I thought I'd passed the worst
But the barrel hit the pulley wheel and then the bottom burst
A shower of bricks rained down on me, I had'nt got a hope
As I lay there bleeding on the ground I let go the bloody rope.

The barrel then being heavier, it started down once more
And landed right on top of me where I lay upon the floor
It broke three ribs and my left arm, and I can only say
I hope you'll understand why I am not at work today.

This stuff is great

Darth Slaw I offically <3 U!! I LOVE Stephen Lynch, I was talking about this same guy the other day! Yup I <3 u now

The Weakerthans - Plea from a Cat Named Virtue

This song is sung from the point of view of a cat (weird, I know), but it's strangely uplifting. It's about a cat that notices his owner is depressed, and in the care-free nature of the feline, suggests ways to cheer him up. Very touching, actually.

Why don’t you ever want to play?
I’m tired of this piece of string
You sleep as much as I do now and you
Don’t eat much of anything
I don’t know who you’re talking to
I’ve made a search through every room
But all I found was dust that moved
And shadows of the afternoon

And listen
About those bitter songs you sing
They aren’t helping anything
They won’t make you strong

So we should open up the house
Invite the tabby two doors down
You can ask your sister if
She doesn’t bring her basset hound
And as for things you shouldn’t miss
Tape hiss and the modern man
Cold war and card catalogues
To come and join us if they can

For girly drinks and parlour games
We’ll pass around the easy lie
Of absolutely no regrets
Then later maybe you could try
To let your losses dangle off
The sharp edge of the century
We’ll talk about the weather or
How the weather used to be

And I’ll cater
With all the birds that I can kill
Let their tiny feathers fill
Disappointment
Lie down
Lick the soil from your skin
Scratch the terror and begin
To believe you’re strong

All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV
Frankly that thing doesn’t really interest me
I swear I’m going to bite you hard
And taste your tinny blood
If you don’t stop the self-defeating lies you’ve been repeating
Since the day you brought me home
I know you’re strong.

Damn I actually like that song Whelly. I havent heard it before, but it sounds interesting and I liked the lyrics. Good choice

Tourniquet - Vanishing Lesson

Silently vanishing, then reappearing
Slipping away for a while
Start dematerializing before your eyes
Always a step from our grasp

At the turn of the century
Lived a Mr. Houdini
Shrouded in a mystery
He fooled all humanity
Why is it a mystery
The very thing that seems to me
Explains itself so easily
The love of wealth brings misery

Things we acquire means fuel for the fire
The feeling is gone, then our soul we will pawn
Things we acquire means fuel for the fire
The feeling is gone, then our soul we will pawn

Chinese water torture cell
And metamorphosis
Jail escapes, buried alive
Walking through a solid wall

Suicide among the rich
Defies the laws of reason which
Tells us those who have it all
Must often answer to death's call

Things we acquire means fuel for the fire
The feeling is gone, then our soul we will pawn
Dollars for happiness, that's what the world tells us
Pour all yourself in the pursuit of wealth

Things we acquire means fuel for the fire
The feeling is gone, then our soul we will pawn
Dollars for happiness, that's what the world tells us
Pour all yourself in the pursuit of wealth

"There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless
which cannot be touched without emotion. Even with the
utterly lost to whom life and death are equally jests,
there are matters of which no jest can be made."

Ever since I was a boy
I have always kept your laws
Now I want to follow you
Join you in your noble cause
Jesus turned to him and said
Sell all you have, give to the poor
The rich young ruler hung his head
Not to follow, walked instead

Tourniquet - Phantom Limb

The case of George Dedlow
Double amputee, one of 500,000
Civil War casualties
Suffered a phenomenon so bizarre
Even the doctors looked on from afar

How can you feel a leg that isn't even there?
From cold to burning heat
To pain beyond compare
Clinically know as phantom limb
So hard to treat, prognosis dim

Brachial plexus avulsion
They told you cycles were dangerous
Nerves ripped from the spinal cord
You certainly need the Lord

But just like the feeling in your arm that is gone
You've severed communication with Him all along
Even though you know it's totally wrong
Spiritual death kicks off it's swan song

Don't throw away the years He gives you
By hardening your heart within you
And if you cut off both your own legs
And you have sworn just to ignore Him
The phantom limb will start to haunt you
He wants to bring you back, revive you

Tourniquet - If Pigs Could Fly

Why does God refuse to move?

If pigs could fly they’d fly away and Never grace the earth again
I wait and wait and wait and wait but Nothing good happens for me

I pray to fly but when I die my feet are Still flat on the ground
My brain is good, no legs of wood, but if You could, I think you should

He ain’t standin in my way
'Cause I did nothin today
He ain't standin in my way

Your ship has crashed no sign of shore-To sit in your lifeboat-you can do no more
5 days at sea starved to the core-lifeboat Is leaking-a rip in the floor

But wait-on the horizon-land-land hoe!
Will you sit there and pray-or will you get up and row?
The next time you are quick to say "I’m just waitin’ on the Lord"
Just make sure that you remember where we all have been before

All things become one…

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

Tourniquet - Broken Chromosomes

I want to take my life today
I don't belong here anyway
My God if you can hear me now
See if Your hand can reach this far

You stopped playing father
as soon as mom conceived
The only time we touched
was just before I screamed

The gift that keeps on giving
your father gives to me
History repeats itself
Now history meets me

So what if I'm retarded
Mentally delayed
I'm sorry for annoying you
but I was born this way

You speak so much better
Got an aerodynamic face
Mega-babes and tons of friends
so why show so much hate

Vultures are circling again
My open wounds are food for them
Oh God if you will reach your hand
You can deliver me from man

But I'll get up
I'll get up
Watch me get up

Men fail me...
But the Son of God saves

When I'm face down
and I'm scared and lonely
You are by my side

I'm talking face on the ground
My back is painted with footprints
You're the only one
that hears me cry

I seek I find just one name
by which a man can be saved
And He comes before
my tears can dry

Now I'm not alone
No I'm not alone
And I'm free now Cause
I've got no pain to pass on

Immortality - pearl jam

Vacate, is the word.
Vengeance has no place so near to her.
Cannot find the comfort in this world.
Artificial tear. Vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers?
Vulnerable. Wisdom can't adhere.

A truant finds home, and a wish to hold on but there's a trapdoor in the sun.
Immortality.

As privileged as a whore.
Victims in demand for public show.
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door.
Holier than thou. How? Surrendered, executed, anyhow.
Scrawl dissolved. Cigar box on the floor.

A truant finds home, and I wish to hold on too, but saw the trapdoor in the sun.
Immortality.

I cannot stop the thought of running in the dark.
Coming up a which way sign.
All good truants must decide.
Oh, stripped and sold mom.
An auctioned forearm and whiskers in the sink.
Truants move on, cannot stay long.
Some die just to live.

Radiohead - True Love Waits

I'll drown my beliefs
To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
To wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave, don't leave

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love wins
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave, don't leave

I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kiss and smile

Just lonely, lonely..
Just lonely, lonely..

^With the music that song is absoultly beautiful.

Muse - Butterflys and Hurricanes

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Change everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Don't let yourself down
And don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived

Best, you've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now

Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

^This song is amazing live.

Coldplay - Shiver
So I looked in your direction,

But you paid me no attention, do you.

I know you don't listen to me.

'cause you say you see straight me, don't you.



On and on from the moment I wake,

To the moment I sleep,

I'll be there by your side,

Just you try and stop me,

I'll be waiting in line,

Just to see if you care.



Did she want me to change?

But I change for good.

And I want you to know.

But you always get your way,

I wanted to say,



(Chorus)

Don't you Shiver? Shiver, Shiver



I'll always be waiting for you,

So you know how much I need ya,

But you never even see me, do you?



And this is my final chance of getting you.



On and on from the moment I wake....

Did she want me to change?...

(Chorus)



Sing it loud and clear.

I'll always be waiting for you. (x3)

Yeah I'll always be waiting for you.



And it's you I see, but you don't see me.

And it's you I hear, so loud and clear.

I sing it loud and clear.

And I'll always be waiting for you,.



So I look in your direction,

But you pay me no attention,

And you know how much I need you,

But you never even seen me.


Elliiott Smith - Kings Crossing

The King's Crossing was the main attraction
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
The scraping subject ruled by fear he told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal - if you hang around
You're going to get wet
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
All you can do now is watch the shells
The game looks easy that's why it sells
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
The method acting that pays my bills
Keeps the fat man feeding in beverly hills
I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
And I get my check from the trash treasury
Because I took my own insides out
It don't matter cos I have no sex life
All I want to do now is inject my ex wife
I've seen the movie and I know what happens
It's a Christmas time
And the needles on the tree
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
His voice is overwhelming, but his speech is slurred
And I only understand every other word
'Open your parachute and grab your gun
Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
Read the part and we turn out fine
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
But I don't care if I **** up
I'm going on a date with a rich white lady
Ain't life great?
Give me one good reason not to do it...so do it
This is a place where time reverses
Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Instruments shine on a silver tray
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me get carried away
Don't let me be carried away

^Thats whole album is really well put together.

and of course...

Radiohead - Creep

When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so ****ing special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts,
I want to have control.
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice,
when I'm not around.
You're so ****ing special,
I wish I was special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?.
I don't belong here

She's running out the door,
she's running,
she run, run, run, run, run.

Whatever makes you happy,
whatever you want.
You're so ****ing special,
I wish I was special,

but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here.

^Completly from memory, so some might be wrong.

Okay I'm done now, might post more if they come to me.

the only one I heard was "Creep" but great selecion of songs. I'm curious to hear the one u said sounds great live

also great song selections by sajn and eversor

Here are some Toad the Wet Sprocket lyrics. The amazing thing is that all of them were written by the singer when he was 14-16.


Toad the Wet Sprocket- Pale Blue:

Azul palido
As death it follows me
After storms
And after falling rain
Crashing thunder
Pale blue remains

Azul palido
As death it waits for me
Mocking weather
An attempt in vain
Weakest thunder
Laughing at the rain

Azul palido
As death it comforts me
After storms
And after pouring rain
Vainest thunder
Pale blue remains

----------------------------------
Toad the Wet Sprocket- Know Me

Should I have believed I was still a boy
Naive and sane, protected wholly
Tongue-tied and restless
Breathing of futures
Know me; I am not a child
Though you have age
You have not felt the pain...

Should I have remained obedient and docile
So far restrained
The hands that hold me back
Could break my bones
As each one snaps
I hate my home

Far on my way
I should know, I was born here
Know me

Am I just some fool? Am I far from ready?
Just let me fall and I'll believe you
Chained up and pampered I strain until I crack
Know me before you kill what I want to be
And leave me cold
Bled white
And feeling old

Far on my way
I should know, I was born here
Know me- know all I am
Far on my way
I was cold then I exploded
Know me

--------------------
Toad the Wet Sprocket- High on a Riverbed

Why try
When everything I do seems half right
How can I be satisfied
Writing words from someone else's lies

But sometimes I'm standing here
High on a riverbed
And light breaks through
Everything feels good for a while
High on a riverbed

I see myself sometimes
Vision is a mystery half blind
I wander through my life
Wondering what I could be if I
If I...

--------------
Toad the Wet Sprocket- I Think About

Watching me
A bird upon a roof with coal-black feathers
Cocks his head
To catch my eye
Wandering and unfocused I cannot meet his stare
He takes to wing
Silhouette against the sun
Surrounded by the glare

Funny how the days go by invisibly
And faster than I realize the things I think about
Strange to find the calendar my enemy
And scared that when I die so will the things
I think about

I believe in so many things
I know that none of them are true
And my feet
Firm upon a pathway I am far too blind to see
Leading me

Funny how the days go by invisibly
And faster than I realize the things I think about
Scared to find the calendar my enemy
And when die so will the thousand things
I think about

On and on and on...

Dry gear ya always pick good lyrics. That's really cool about his writing those lyrics when he was younger. I like "azul palido" very good lyrics

Laura

Hey Baby, Wake up from you're asleep.
We have arrived onto the future
And the whole world is become
Elektronik Supersonik
Supersonik Elektronik

Hey Baby, Ride with me away.
We doesn't have much time.
My blue jeans is tight.
So onto my love rocket climb.
Inside tank of fuel is not fuel but love
Above us there is nothing above but the stars above

*All systems gone.
Prepare for downcount.*

5, 4, 3, 1. Offblast!

Fly away in my spacerocket.
You no need put money in my pocket.
The door is closed, I just lock it.
I put my glowplug in your socket.

*The sonic sky is bright like fire. *
You and me gets higher and higher.
*cut comunication wires.*
Only thing that can stop us is flat tire.

Hey Love crusader, I want to be your space invader.
For you I will descend the deepest moon crater.
I's more stronger than Darth Vaper.
Obey me, I's your new dictator.
For you is Venus, I am Mars.
With you, I is more richer than all the tzars.
Make a wishes on a shooting stars.
Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars.

*Ladies and Gentlemen, fasten your beltseats.
We have commenced our descent.
I trust you enjoyed this flight as much as you enjoy this accent. *

Now, back on Earth, is time for downsplash
Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash
People have arrived for to cheer me from near and far
and as I float, I open door and shout
"I am world's biggest washed up superstar!"

As for sure as the sun rises in the West.
Of all the singers and poets on Earth, I am the bestest.
Come, let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger.
Then like a smell around you, I will forever linger.
Ok, it's time for end.
No more will I sing.
Let me take you back in time.
I want for you to experience Big Bang.

Long live Space Race.
Long live MOLVANIA

Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen...

Later on I'll post more lyrics from the same band, but I don't want to hog the thread for now.

I'm attaching a zip file of two songs of theirs live. It's legal and supported by the band.
One is High on a Riverbed, which is one of my favoritest songs ever, and the other is Always Changing Probably, which I think I posted the lyrics to in the last thread.

Ugh, gotta disagree with you about Bruce Springsteen.

The Beatles - The End

Oh yeah, All right
Are you gunna be in my dreams
Tonight?

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

Best lyrics ever.

Some of Boricua's first lyrics were kind of... ya. SAJN's the same way.....................

so...

this song has 2 singers, one that sings the melody and one that does a spoken word thing over the melody, if you've ever heard The Singer it's very similar to that, just 800x more sexy, it's a good one to make out to. The spoken bits are in parenthesis and then both sets are at the bottom. Jay is the singer, Matt is the... rapper.


Jump - Darkest Love

Lie with me somewhere in the sleeping stars
Darling lie with me somewhere on the edge of light
Lie with me in tall wet grass
Darling lie with me somewhere on the edge of night

Somewhere where we can be just you and me...

I believe in the absence of sun
I believe in the shadow of one
I believe in the power of two
I believe in the darkness of you
My love, my love, my darkest love

Lie (in the still of the nights) with me (I lie close to your face)
somewhere on the des- (the moon is a spotlight) ert haze (in this quiet space)
Darling lie (if we stand here like statues) with me (and don't say a word)
somewhere on the vir- (we will not be seen) gin sand (we will not be heard)

Lie (The stillness has purpose) with me (it's own subtle dance)
on warm (if we move just an inch) black stone (we have ruined this chance)
Darling lie (its the dark that is key here) with me (its cruelness has strength)
somewhere on the (its shadows hold mysteries) frozen strand (locked at great lengths)

Somewhere where we can be just you and me...

I believe in the absence of sun
(Black like the firey red words in hand and black like a crow flying low to the sand)
I believe in the shadow of one
(While I propose to the absence of light whose others are smokey and nowhere in sight)
I believe in the power of two
(When we hear the skull fall and cannot be seen and we feel the sting beneathe, between)
I believe in the darkness of you
(Tell me dreams in the dark that you won't share by day and the way we discovered to hold dawn at bay)

My love (now all I need), my love (is for you),
My darkest love (to show me the light, to show me the light, show me the light)
My love (all I need), my love (is for you),
My darkest love (to show me the light, to show me the light, show me the light)

All I need is you to show me the light
All I need is you to show me the light
All I need is for you to show me the light

Show me, show me,
(There's so many nights I lie close to your face, the moon is a spotlight for this point in space)
Show me the light
(If we stand here like statues and don't say a word we will not be seen, we will not be heard)
Show me, show me,
(The stillness has purpose its own subtle dance, if we move just an inch we have ruined this chance)
Show me the light
(Its the dark that is key here, it's cruelness has strength, it's shadows hold mysteries, locked at great lenghts)

Ahhhhh.... [end]

[Matt's Part:]

In the still of the nights I lie close to your face
The moon is a spotlight in this quiet space
If we stand here like statues and don't say a word
We will not be seen we will not be heard
The stillness has purpose its own subtle dance
If we move just an inch we have ruined this chance
Its the dark that is key here, its cruelness has strength
Its shadows hold mysteries, locked at great lenghts

Black like the firey red words in hand
And black like a crow flying low to the sand

Whose others are smokey and nowhere in sight
When we hear the skull fall and cannot be seen
And we feel the sting beneathe between
Tell me dreams in the dark that you won't share by day
The way we discovered to hold dawn at bay

Now all I need is for you to show me the light, show me the light, show me the light
All I need is for you the show me the light, show me the light, show me the light

Schming, download the Toad songs. I wanna know if you like them. I'm not sure if you will, but I'm curious.

Those are some nice lyrics you posted.

How about I post one of the creepiest songs ever. The Velvet Underground- Venus in Furs

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me
I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

There's nothing in the zip file.

Just one ...

Pick up the reciever,
I'll make you a believer

Everyone
Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
What's going on?
What's going on?

Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got the fear
It's holding on
It's holding on

It's holding on (x3)

Really?
So it didn't go through!
I'm gonna fix that then.

Thanks for trying at least.

I like that song Staff.

Here's another one that just happens to be playing in my iTunes right now....

Jump, Little Children - Come Around


Ceramic tile fluorescent
Yellow iodine
I can feel your presence
Sedated by the heavy medicine
And come around, come around, come around

The flowers aren't worth keeping
The rose's broke my skin
I'll pretend your sleeping
Or you fainted from the lack of oxygen
And come around, come around

Don't leave me here to let you down
Now I'm going home
I've been patient
I've waited a lifetime
Now I'm going home
I am tired of waiting a lifetime

Sentimental letters
Brightly colored ink
Saying, "Please get better"
I'll place them by the lilies in the sink
And come around, come around

Don't leave me here to let you down
Now I'm going home
I've been patient
I've waited a lifetime
Now I'm going home
I am tired of waiting a lifetime

If you could feel it, I'd give a kiss
If you'd get through, I'd whisper this
Not while your sleeping
In my safe keeping

Faded iridescence
From your silhouette
A stare illuminescent
I haven't given up on you just yet
And come around, come around

Don't leave me here to let you down
Now I'm going home
I've been patient
I've waited a lifetime
Now I'm going home
I am tired of waiting a lifetime

Now I'm going home
and I've been patient
I've waited a lifetime
Now I'm going home
I am tired of waiting a lifetime
Now I'm going home

It looks like Jump likes to write complex lyrics. Personally, I think they should scale back on that just a little. From reading my own writings, I've decided that big pretty words does not good poetry make.
Most of that song isn't a problem, but I think the wording here is unnecessary:


You probably disagree though.

Ya I do, the way he sings them are very cool.

Love the simplicity.

I'm giving up on uploading the song here. I'll upload it to my crappy geocities website later though.

Simplicity is good.



<3 this song

psh... I can do simple....

Jump, Little Children - My Guitar


I'd like to see you out one night
Dressed up like a rock-n-roll star
Straight out of some strange magazine
Then I know I'd love you

But if I see you out somewhere
You might think that I don't care

'Cause I love my guitar
I love my guitar

I'd like to see you out one night
Dressed up like a race car driver
You'd push the engine all the way
Then I know I'd love you

But if I see you out somewhere
You might think that I don't care

'Cause I love my guitar
I love my guitar

We always stay up late at night
Up in my bedroom
Sometimes we get carried away
Banging the wall, banging the floor
Burning both ends of the midnight oil

'Cause I love my guitar
I love my guitar
I love my guitar
I love my guitar

I'd like to see you out one night
Dressed up like a teenage porn star
Straight out of late night B-grade trash
Then I know I'd love you

But if I see you out somewhere
You might think that I don't care

'Cause I love my guitar
I love my guitar

We always stay up late at night
Up in my bedroom
Sometimes we get carried away
Banging the wall, banging the floor
Burning both ends of the midnight oil

I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love

Billy Bragg- Between the Wars

I was a miner
I was a docker
I was a railway man
Between the wars
I raised a family
In times of austerity
With sweat at the foundry
Between the wars

I paid the union and as times got harder
I looked to the government to help the working man
And they brought prosperity down at the armoury
We're arming for peace, me boys
Between the wars

I kept the faith and I kept voting
Not for the iron fist but for the helping hand
For theirs is a land with a wall around it
And mine is a faith in my fellow man
Theirs is a land of hope and glory
Mine is the green field and the factory floor
Theirs are the skies all dark with bombers
And mine is the peace we know
Between the wars

Call up the craftsmen
Bring me the draftsmen
Build me a path from cradle to grave
And I'll give my consent
To any government
That does not deny a man a living wage

Go find the young men never to fight again
Bring up the banners from the days gone by
Sweet moderation
Heart of this nation
Desert us not, we are
Between the wars

Lol they are the perfect songs when u are mad, and then ya get over it, but for the moment u are, they are great lol

Anywho liked the lyrics u posted Schming, good stuff

Laura:)

I love The National Anthem. Such goodness.

This is my favorite mad song, I love performing this song too. Played it last night in fact. I always do the 3rd verse a capella and then go crazy on the last instrumental part. I shredded my pick last night during it and threw it down and just went at it with my hand and I have all these cuts on my fingers. It looked cool from what I've heard.

Travis - Blue Flashing Light (secret track on The Man Who)

Saturday evening
Saturday evening at a quarter to five
I would see him arrive at the door
Pushed you aside as he staggered inside
Spilling alcohol over the floor
A storm is abrewin’ and it’s sure to fall soon
As I look at you from the shore

So
You better hold on
Cause it’s saturday night
And your friends are all out
And you feel like ****
Cause they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever

Call me a name and I’ll hit you again
You’re a slut, you’re a *****, you’re a whore
Talked to your daddy in that tone of voice
There’s a belt hanging over the door
So you run to your room
And you hide in your room
Thinking how you could settle the score

But it's
Saturday night at a quarter to six
And your friends are all out
And you live in the sticks
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call

Blue flashing light last saturday night
Brought the neighbours all out on the street
They watched as the firemen carried you out
And they stared at each other’s feet
Now everyone sees and yet nobody says
How we’re all just afraid of the heat

But
It’s saturday night
And I’m lying alone in the bed that I made
Disconnected the phone
Still they never call you
No they never call you
No they never call
Never call
Never bloody ever call
Never bloody ever
Never
Never do
Never do

At the end of every week each one of us becomes a freak.
Tonight the dj makes us move and then the sweat drops from the roof.
Each time you let the bass beat hard to know we all spend now apart.
Just activate your energy lets sing the song and come with me.

The speaker system brings the sound,
In light effects I'm spinnin round
All the people on the floor they shake their bodies cry for more.
Never let this feeling go and let the music take control.
Forget your problems and be free,
Enjoy this moment, come with me!

Turn it up!

This is from memory. The melody is simple, so you can maybe figure it out just by the way the words rhyme. I wrote it to read like poetry- if there's a comma at the end of the line, pause, but don't if there's not a comma or period.

Leonard Cohen- One of Us Cannot Be Wrong

I lit a thin green candle,
to make you jealous of me,
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes,
they heard that my body was free,
then I took the dust of a long sleepless night
and I put it in your little shoe,
and I confess
that I tortured the dress,
that you wore for the world to look through.

I showed my heart to the doctor,
he told me I had to quit,
then he wrote himself a prescription,
and your name was mentioned in it,
then he locked himself in a library shelf
with the details of our honey moon,
and I heard from the nurse
that he's gotten much worse,
and his practice is all in a ruin.

I heard of a saint who loved you,
so I studied all night in his school,
he taught that the duty of lovers,
is to tarnish the golden rule,
and when I was sure
that his teachings were pure,
he drowned himself in the pool,
his body is gone
but out here on the lawn,
his spirit continues to drool.

An eskimo showed me a movie,
he'd recently taken of you,
the poor man could hardly stop shivering,
his lips and his fingers were blue,
I suppose that he froze
when the wind took your clothes,
and I guess he just never got warm,
but to stand there so nice
in your blizzard of ice,
oh please let me come into the storm.

more complicated beautiful lyrics... from one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Jump, Little Children - Pigeon


The brackish roots of river pine
Anchored in my curving spine
Bend to the whims of wind's design
And I lay down at your side

Above the brine of reeds and clay
A swollen angel oaks bouquet
In the red wing blackbirds eyes of grey
A salt-water tear resides

But the sand and the earthen parapet
Silts into this rivulet
The bluffs and the banks will soon forget
A single tear was cried

And in this spawning ground it blooms
The nectar and the petal plumes
A purple swallow now exhumed
From the river that has died

The crimson of rinoculous
Gardenia and dianthus
The bloodless ivory water-lotus
Sweetly opens wide

Oh...

Without a voice left to sing
With waterlogged and heavy wing
With peaceful eyes, unsuffering
A pigeon floats in the tide
