The Lyrics Thread-Part III

This Lullaby

Queens Of The Stone Age

(Album Opener)

Where O where have you been my love?
Where O where can you be?
It’s been so long, since the moon has gone.
And O what a wreck you’ve made me.

Are you there over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullaby.

My Hope is on the horizon
Every face, it’s your eyes I can see.
I plead, I pray through each night and day
Our Embrace is only a dream.

And as sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life’s time.
When she’d left, I’d only begun this lullaby.

Long Slow Goodbye

Queens Of The Stone Age

(Album Ending)

Where have you gone again my sweet?
Everybody wants to know.
Where have you gone again my sweet?
Everybody wants to know.
Where you gone?

I’m just a ghost, I’m on your street
Waitin’, when you comin’ home?
Gone so long
Where you gone?
On a long slow goodbye?
On a long slow goodbye…

In every voice, I hear you speak
Waitin’ by the telephone.
I close my eyes, I just can’t sleep
Roll and tumble all night long.
All night long
Where you gone?

I close my eyes, I just can’t sleep
Where have you gone again my sweet?

On a long slow goodbye?
On a long slow goodbye…

Goodbye

What’s coming through is alive.
What’s holding up is a mirror.
But what’s singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.

They’re both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.

Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.

And I feel this coming over like a storm again.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.

Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.

And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.

I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.

And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It’s all right.
I don’t mind.

I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,

And considerately killing me.

Hm when I heard Iron Maiden I noticed a song called

Purgatory

Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,
Fantasies lived times before.
I split my brain, melt through the floor.

Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can’t think why.
My body tries to leave my soul.
Or is it me, I just don’t know.
Mem’ries rising from the past, the future’s shaddow overcast.
Something’s clutching at my head, through the darkness I’ll be led.

Oh another time, another place.
Oh another smile on another face.
When you see me floating up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love’s inside of you.

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
[repeat everything]

I recognized it sounds much like OOBE to me, what do you think? The song is from 1981, maybe someone in the band had an OOBE then?

By the way, do you guys relate those lyrics you post to dreams? Because what I post here is never about dreams, only some beautiful lyrics.

I think the Idea is just general, nothing really related to dreams itself. Atleast thats what I think :eh:

Reflection
Tool

Deticated to oddish, hehe. :tongue:

I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and
Move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful

It’s calling me…

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret - my confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don’t wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego before it’s far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it’s far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that’s imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason …
before we pine away.

Hee…Overdue thanks to Robin…>_< I was busy the past few days…With exams.

I see your message =P

Neuroticfish - They Are Coming To Take Me Away - Orginal by Napoleon XIV

[size=92]Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged you
Not to leave because I´d go beserk?
You left me anyhow and
Then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I´ve gone completely
out of my mind
AND

1:
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I´ll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they´re coming to take me AWAY,
HA HAAAA
(x2)

You thought it was a joke,
and so you LAUGHED, YOU LAUGHED!
When I had said that losing you
Would make me flip my lid,
RIGHT?
You know you laughed.
I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
And laughed and laughed
And then you left,
But now you know I´m utterly mad
AND

1:(x1)
2:
They´re coming to take me away,
Haha, they´re coming to take me away,
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,
To the happy home with trees and flowers
And chirping birds and basket weavers
Who sit and smile and
Twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they´re coming to take me away,
HAHAAAAAAAAA

I cooked your food,
I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish loving deeds
HUH?
Well, you just wait,
They´ll find you yet,
And when they do, they´ll put you in
the ASPCA, you mangy MUTT,
AND

They’re coming to take me away, They’re coming to take me away!! (x4)[/size]

Slayer - Skeleton Christ

Unbound God’s creation
Has grown into the sinner
Abandoned innocene
Impenitent transgressor
Escape mortality
They say your life can change
If you take God’s hand
Embrace rebirth
Your cleansing’s so divine
To be reborn in God’s eyes

You’ll never touch God’s hand
You’ll never taste God’s breath
Because you’ll never see the second coming
Life’s too short to be focused on insanity
I’ve seen the ways of God
I’ll take the devil any day
Hail Satan

(Lead - King)

Your faith has atrophied
And rots in hell’s asylum
Despondence tears you down
A free-falling social strain
Escape atrocity
They say your life can change
If you take God’s hand
Embrace rebirth
Your cleansing’s so divine
To be reborn to God’s lies

You’ll never touch God’s hand
You’ll never taste God’s breath
Because you’ll never see the second coming
It’s all a *** mockery
No grasp upon reality
It’s mind control for
Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ

You’ll never touch God’s hand
You’ll never taste God’s breath
Because you’ll never see the second coming
I laugh at the abortion known as Christianity
I’ve seen the ways of God
I’ll take the devil any day
Hail Satan

(Lead - King)

You’ll never touch God’s hand
You’ll never taste God’s breath
Because you’ll never see the second coming
It’s all a *** mockery
No grasp upon reality
It’s mind control for
Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ

(Lead - Hanneman

Smile Empty Soul - Who I Am

Another night again
Another journey without friends
Another fight to wish away the loneliness I live

Another circus show
Another face that I don’t know
Another night of people asking what I have to give

I thought that I would drown
But it’s okay right now

No one knows the way I feel a part of me I have to fight
Buried somewhere deep beneath my skin
The emptiness in me is faded
And I can see my life is waiting
Now I know I’m living for who I am
Now I know I’m living for who I am

The fire grows inside
The feeling cannot be denied
And everywhere I turn the size of guys they push me

And all has fallen down
But it’s okay right now

No one knows the way I feel a part of me I have to fight
Buried somewhere deep beneath my skin
The emptiness in me is faded
And I can see my life is waiting
Now I know I’m living for who I am

And everything seems great and everyone is fake
No one really knows you
Look into their eyes
Rip off your disguise
Let them see the real you

No one knows the way I feel a part of me I have to fight
Buried somewhere deep beneath my skin
The emptiness in me is faded
And I can see my life is waiting
Now I know I’m living for who I am
Now I know I’m living for who I am

:hurray: I got the lyrics to this song at last!

Frustration by Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich :angry:

I get nervous, start to fret
Cause what you got I’ll never get
What’re you playing? What’s this game?
That’s slowly driving me insane

Frustration, losing concentration
My imagination, causing this sensation
This hallucination, giving me frustration

In my sleep, you lead me on,
But when I wake I find you gone
I’m a wreck, a broken man
Since this torture first began

Frustration, losing concentration
My imagination, causing this sensation
This hallucination, giving me frustration

In my sleep, you lead me on,
But when I wake I find you gone
I’m a wreck, a broken man
Since this torture first began

Oh, I’m so frustrated baby,
I’m gonna come back to your door
And I’m gonna say
Oh darling, I guess I’m going out my head
You’re driving me, you’re driving me,
You’re driving me out of my mind
Oh darling, oh honey, oh yeah baby,
Oh yeah

:tongue:

We’re The Pet Shop Boys
Robbie Williams

Suburbia’s a slipstream
To a memory
Of a time when you were
Close to me
I pretend
I’m there again
I close my eyes and see you
Better than before
Then I feel you touch me
And it’s 1984
I know what you will say
Before you start
In my heart

We’re the Pet Shop Boys
We’re the Pet Shop Boys

Every thought’s a fashion
Or a crime
And every boy is just
A waste of time
But I pretend
It was different then
Maybe it’s a habit
Maybe it’s a sin
But I find out
When I try it on
It crawls beneath my skin
Once it gets inside me
It won’t go
Now I know

We’re the Pet Shop Boys
We’re the Pet Shop Boys

Rent
Shopping
Being boring
It’s alright
It’s a sin
I’m not scared
In denial
I want a dog
I want a lover
Can you forgive her?
Do I have to?
What have I? What have I?
What have I done to deserve this?

We’re the Pet Shop Boys
We’re the Pet Shop Boys

Yarn and Glue, by Joanna Newsom

do you know what this is son?
this is the Panopticon
and all around us blink the brash
and shifty eyes of common cash

so do we die or do we travel?
down the path by which one dabbles
in the arts of antediluvian crafts
with yarn and glue

so gather twilight to your breast
and couch the rabble-rouser’s nest
and we will take a day of rest
and we will all be heaven-blessed

and we will gather round to dine
and pass the time with wicked rhymes
and toast in dandelion wines
to hear their mellifluous chimes

we toast the fallow furrows that we sow,
we toast the monies that we owe, oh, oh
we toast the creditors we daily face
who topple down with gruesome grace

and we toast the aristocrats with blood of blue
because we know our collars are that colour too
and we toast the artisans of antediluvian crafts
with yarn and glue

we do, we do!

En Gallop, by Joanna Newsom

this place is damp and ghostly, I am already gone
and the halls were lined with the disembodied
and dustly wings which fell from flesh
gasplessly

and I go where the trees go
and I walk from a higher education
for now, and for hire

it beats me but I do not know
and it beats me but I do not know
it beats me but I do not know
I do not know

palaces and stormclouds
the rought straggly sage and the smoke
and the way it will all come together
in quietness, and in time

and you laws of property
oh, you free economy
and you unending afterthoughts;
you could’ve told me before

never get so attached to a poem, you
forget truth that lacks lyricism, and
never draw so close to the heat, that
you will forget that you must eat, oh

Time
Pink Floyd

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

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

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

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

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

They’re Coming to Take Me Away - NAPOLEON XIV

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I’d go beserk

Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind

And they’re coming to take me away ha-haaa
They’re coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they’re coming to take me away ha haaa

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid

Right? You know you laughed
I heard you laugh. You laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I’m utterly mad

And they’re coming to take me away ha haaa
They’re coming to take me away ho ho hee hee ha haaa
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away ha haaa

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind unselfish, loving deeds
Ha! Well you just wait
They’ll find you yet and when they do
They’ll put you in the A.S.P.C.A.
You mangy mutt

And they’re coming to take me away ha haaa
They’re coming to take me away ha haaa ho ho hee hee
To the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats

And they’re coming to take me away
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away ha haaa!

Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics
The Yorkshire Couple

[i]Its of a Yorkshire couple, this story I’ll relate,
Who waited on retirement with apprehension great.
In their little mill tied cottage, said Amos feeling low,
We’ve to leave this house tomorrow, wherever shall we go.
Wherever shall we go, wherever shall we go.
We’ve to leave this house tomorrow, wherever shall we go.

Said Martha unto Amos, well don’t you fret old lad,
The thought of your retirement, it ought to make you glad.
Since the minute we got married I’ve saved for a rainy day,
Each time that we made love I put half a crown away.
Do you see that row of cottages, down by Dog and Gun,
We hadn’t been married but a year before I’d bought first one,

The second two years later, the third it brought me tears,
The fourth one took much longer, over twenty years.
Said Amos unto Martha, you know I love you so,
And now I see the wisdom of reaping what you sow.
But one thing vexes me though, why did you never tell,
If I hadn’t of played away, I’d have had Dog and Gun as well.

Said Martha unto Amos, well you know I love you dear,
But when you said you were working late, well I knew where you were.
D’ye remember our old milkman, the one that were such fun,
Well I did the same wi’ him, and I bought him Dog and Gun.[/i] :tongue:

Rainbow In The Dark Lyrics - Dio

When there’s lightning - You know it always bring me down
Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found
I cry out for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

No sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
A Rainbow in the Dark.

Do your demons - do they ever let you go?
When you’ve tried - do they hide -deep inside
Is it someone that you know?
You’re a picture - just an image caught in time
We’re a lie - you and I
We’re words without a rhyme

There’s no sign of the morning coming
You’ve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark

When I see lightning - You know it always brings me down
Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me
Who’s lost and never found
Feel the magic -I feel it floating in the air
But it’s fear - and you’ll hear
It calling you, beware

There’s no sight of the morning coming
There’s no sight of the day
You’ve been left on your own
Like a Rainbow…
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
You’re a Rainbow in the Dark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark.

Scorpions - New Generation

Another day no peace in sight
A solution, far away
The military won the war
Certainly not for you and me

How many generations will it take
To cut the stream of blood
I hear voices that spin inside my head
It’s your voice that counts so much

Here comes the young,
the new generation
You are the only ones
You are the only ones who can make a change

The world looks kind of small from way up there
Through the window of our time
The shuttle broke into a million pieces
In the bluest sky

The world is spinning `round way too fast
And New York City went all dark
There’s a message that goes out tonight
From the bottom of my heart

Here comes the young, the new generation
You are the only ones
You are the only ones who can make a change
Here comes the young, the new generation
You are the only ones
You are the only ones who can make a change

Always hold on to your dreams
Because the world is not the same
The day your hope will die
Just carry on for you and me
`Cause it’s the spark inside that flame
That gives your visions life

Here comes the young, the new generation
You are the only ones
You are the only ones who can make a change
Here comes the young, the new generation
You are the only ones
You are the only ones who can make a change

We are we are the new generation
We are the only ones
We are the only ones who can make a change

Load up on guns, bring your friends
It’s fun to lose and to pretend
She’s over bored, self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido

I’m worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido

And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Hello, hello, hello, how low?

With the lights out it’s less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
A denial

Thanks for the dedication :content:

HIM - Wicked Game (I like Chris Isaak’s version too, but I think HIM’s version is better :smile: )
This song is dedicated to someone here in my town :peek:

The world was on fire
No one could save me but you
It’s strange what desire
will make foolish people do
I’d never dreamed that
I’d need somebody like you
And I’d never dreamed that
I’d need somebody like you

No, I don’t wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
And I don’t wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you

And I don’t wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don’t wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you

The world was on fire
no one could save me but you
It’s strange what desire
will make foolish people do
No, and I never dreamed that
I’d love somebody like you
And I’ll never dream that
I’d lose somebody like you, no

Now I wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
Now I wanna fall in lust
(This world is always gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I…
(This world is only gonna break your heart x2)

Nobody loves no one

Different World - Iron Maiden

  You lead me on the path
  Keep showing me the way
  I feel a little lost
  A little strange today

  I think I'll take a hold
  Of whatever comes my way
  Then we'll see what happens
  Take it day by day

  I thought I had it all
  I had it all worked out
  Just what my future held
  That there would be no doubt

  But then the card came up
  And I took another turn
  But I don't know if it's
  Fulfilment that I yearn

        Tell me what you can hear
        And then tell me what you see
        Everybody has a different way
        To view the world

        I would like you to know
        When you see the simple things
        To appreciate this life
        It's not too late to learn

  Don't want to be here
  Somewhere I'd rather be
  But when I get there
  I might find it's not for me

        Tell me what you can hear
        And then tell me what you see
        Everybody has a different way
        To view the world

        I would like you to know
        When you see the simple things
        To appreciate this life
        It's not too late to learn

        Tell me what you can hear
        And then tell me what you see
        Everybody has a different way
        To view the world

        I would like you to know
        When you see the simple things
        To appreciate this life
        It's not too late to learn

  Don't want to be here
  Somewhere I'd rather be
  But when I get there
  I might find it's not for me

  Don't know what I want
  Or where I want to be
  I'm feeling more confused
  The more the days go by

Out of The Shadows - Iron Maiden

  Hold a halo 'round the world, golden is the day
  Princes of the universe your burden is the way
  So there is no better time who will be born today
  A gypsy child at daybreak
  A King for a day

        Out of the shadows and into the sun
        Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
        Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
        But we must endure it to live again

  Dusty dreams in fading daylight
  Flicker on the walls
  Nothing new your life's adrift, what purpose to it all?
  Eyes are closed and death is calling
  Reaching out its hand
  Call upon the starlight to surround you

        Out of the shadows and into the sun
        Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
        Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
        But we must endure it to live again


        Out of the shadows and into the sun
        Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
        Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
        But we must endure it to live again

        Out of the shadows and into the sun
        Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
        Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
        But we must endure it to live again

        Out of the shadows and into the sun
        Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
        Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
        But we must endure it to live again

  A man who casts no shadow has no soul
