The Lyrics Thread-Part IV

[size=167]If I Were Gay-Stephen Lynch[/size]

Here we are
Dear old friends
You and i drunk again
laughs have been had
tears have been shed
maybe the whisky has gone to my head
but if i were gay
i would give you my heart
and if i were gay
you’d be my work of art
and if i were gay
we would swim in romance
but im not gay
so get your hand out of my pants

its not that i dont care
i do
i just dont see myself in you
another time another scene
i’d be right behind you if you know what i mean
coz if i were gay
i would give soul
and if i were gay
i would give you my whole… being
and if i were gay
we would tear down the walls
But I’m Not gay
so wont you stop cupping my Ba… Hand
we’ve never hugged
we’ve never kissed
i’ve never been intimate with your fist
you have opened brand new doors
get over here and drop … your … Drawers

Alone - Sanctus Real

True love exists yes I know this
My heart was waiting for you
And when we met I felt my chest
pound fast, racing for the chance
to know you, to hold you
To open up and show you
The way it feels when you know…

You are not alone
Know that I would fight the tides to
Be together
When you feel alone
Listen to this song to make your heart
feel better

Two hearts entwined, yes, you are mine
And I’ll be your’s forever
I’ve done the math, I’m less than half
We’re better off together
And I want you here by my side
As much as you are on my mind
When I’m gona you should no

Rainy Mondays feel like Fridays
When you’re smiling at me I can feel
The space
Between us collapsing
Our love is everlasting

care for me, care for me,
you said you’d care for me
there for me, there for me
said you’d be there for me
cry for me, cry for me
you said you’d die for me
give to me, give to me
why won’t you live for me

I came across these brilliant lyrics :spinning:

Queensryche
Silent Lucidity

[i]Hush now dont cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
Youre lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over…or has it just begun?

Theres a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didnt realize it and you were scared
Its a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the tears
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension

I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you…in silent lucidity

If you open your mind for me
You wont rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumblng down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You7re safe froom pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but…

I-will be watching over you
I-am gonna help you see it through
I-will protect you in the night
I-am smiling next to you…in silent lucidity[/i] :content:

Fly me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra

Fly me to the moon
Let me sing among those stars
Let me see what spring is like
On jupiter and mars

In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me

Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore

In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you

BJÖRK: EARTH INTRUDERS


we are the earth intruders
we are the earth intruders
muddy with twigs and branches

turmoil! carnage!

here come the earth intruders
we are the paratroopers
stampede of sharpshooters
come straight from voodoo

with our feet thumping
with our feet marching
grinding skeptics into the soil

shower of goodness
coming to end the doubt pouring over
shower of goodness coming to end

we are the earth intruders
we are the sharp shooters
flock of parashooters
necessary voodoo

I have guided my bones
through some voltage
and loved them still
and loved them too

metallic carnage!
feriocity!
feel the speed!

we are the earth intruders
we are the sharp shooters
flock of parashooters
necessary voodoo

there is turmoil out there
carnage! rambling!
what is to do but dig
dig bones out of earth

mudgraves! timber!
morbid trenches!

here come the earth intruders
stampede of resistance
we are the canoneers
necessary voodoo

and the beast
with many heads
and arms rolling
steamroller!

we are the earth intruders
we are the earth intruders
muddy with twigs and branches

(forgive this tribe)

we are the earth intruders
we are the earth intruders
muddy with twigs and branches

we are the earth intruders
muddy with twigs and branches
we are the earth intruders

we are the earth intruders
muddy with twigs and branches
marching

we are the earth intruders
muddy with twigs and branches
marching

march
march

Don McLean ‘Vincent’

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

look out on a summer’s day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils

catch the breeze and the winter chills

in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how

perhaps they’ll listen now.

Starry
starry night
flaming flo’rs that brightly blaze

swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent’s eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain

weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist’s
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they’ll listen now.

For they could not love you
but still your love was true

and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.

Starry
starry night
portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes
that watch the world and can’t forget.
Like the stranger that you’ve met

the ragged men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity

how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they’re not
list’ning still
perhaps they never will.

Goldfinger - Open Your Eyes

Open your eyes
To the millions of lies
That they tell you everyday
Open your mind
To the clever disguise
That the advertisements say

How do they know
What’s good for you?

Wake up, wake up, whoa
Wake up, wake up, whoa
A shot to the head
They’re better off dead
Will you wake up, wake up, whoa

Destroy all the land
And kill what you can
Just to make the profits rise
Sell you from birth
For all that you’re worth
The money spreads like lies

And how do they know
What’s good for you?

Wake up, wake up, whoa
Wake up, wake up, whoa
A shot to the head
They’re better off dead
Will you wake up, wake up, whoa

Don’t wanna hate you
Don’t wanna blame it all on you
I’m out of options
If you don’t look I’ll force you to
If you don’t look I’ll force you to
If you don’t look… I’ll force you to

Wake up, wake up, whoa
Wake up, wake up, whoa
A shot to the head
Just so you can be fed
Will you wake up, wake up, whoa

Open your eyes…
Open your eye

i was just listening to that one, whispa!

Regina Spektor: On the Radio

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our horse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just born
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the Styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo’s really long
But it’s a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You’re young until you’re not
You love until you don’t
You try until you can’t
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else’s heart
Pumping someone else’s blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don’t get harmed
But even if it does
You’ll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo’s awful long
But it’s a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio

What I’ve Done - Linkin park

In this farewell,
There’s no blood,
There’s no alibi.
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.

Put to rest,
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.

So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.

For What I’ve Done

I’ll start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I’m forgiving what I’ve done.

I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.
What I’ve done.

Forgiving What I’ve Done.

zebrahead-the walking dead
I’d rather be dead than to live like this
Than to just exist a hand and no fist
See the walking dead around me
Waking up and breaking down before my eyes
Rather be dead, rather shoot and miss
Rather die for a kiss than to live like this

Hear the walking dead surround me
Giving in and giving up because

[Chorus:]
We’re all doing fine
And we’re falling fast behind
I don’t think we’ll be the same again
We’re losing our minds
We’re all doing fine
Is there anyplace to hide?
I don’t think we’ll be the same again
We’re losing
We’re losing our minds

We walk tonight

I’d rather be dead than to have no hope inside
Watch my will bleed away and my soul divide
Feel the walking dead around me
Getting closer moving farther from the light

I’d rather be dead, stay alive to find
Somewhere I belong, someone to call mine
See the walking dead surround me
See the life and see the death and now

[Chorus]

Reach out
I never get it
It’s just out of reach and
I watch it slipping away
Reach out
Just forget it
It’s never good enough
It’s never going to be the same

Oh ya’ll motherfuckers thought it was over huh?
But it’s not.
You didn’t count on the fallen angel getting back into the grace of God and coming after you.
Ya’ll niggas ain’t shit.
Your producers ain’t shit.
Your fuckin A & R ain’t shit.
I’ll fuckin wipe my ass with your demo deal.
Yo, Diabolic. Take this motherfucker’s head OFF!

[Diabolic:]
Go ahead and grip glocks
I’ll snap your trigger finger in six spots
You’ll have to lip lock with hypodermic needles to lick shots
I’ll watch you topple flat
Put away your rings and holla back
Can’t freestyle, you’re screwed off the top like bottle caps
Beneath the surface, I’m over heating your receiver circuits
By unleashing deeper verses than priests speak in churches
What you preach is worthless
Your worship defeat the purpose
Like President Bush taking bullets for the Secret Service
Beyond what ya’ll fathom
I shit on cats and jaw tap 'em
Show no compassion like having a straight faced orgasm
Tour jack ‘em, have his half a ten bitch suck my friend’s dick
In the mean time, you can French kiss this clenched fist
Diabolic, a one man brigade spreading cancer plague
Fist fucking a pussy’s face, holding a hand grenade
So if I catch you bluffin’
Faggot, you’re less than nothing
I just had to get that stress off my chest like breast reduction

[Immortal Technique:]
You motherfuckers are nothing, you cannot harm me
I’ll resurrect every aborted baby and start an army
Storm the planet, hunting you down, 'cause I’m on a mission
To split your body into a billion one-celled organisms
Immortal Technique willll destroy your religion, you stupid bitch
You’re faker than blue-eyed crackers nailed to a crucifix
I’m 'bout to blow up like NASA challenger computer chips
Arsenic language transmitted revolutionary
I’m like time itself, I’m gonna kill you inevitabely
Chemically bomb you, fuck using a chrome piece
I’m illmatic, you won’t make it home like Jerome’s niece
I’ll sever your head diagonally for thinking of dissing me
And the use your dead body to write my name in calligraphy
This puppet democracy, brain washed, just psychology
So you’re nothing like diversity without equality
And your crew is full of more faggots that Greek Mythology
Using numerology, to count the people I sent to heaven
Produces more digits than twenty-two divided by seven
You’re like Kevin Spacey, your style is usually suspect
You never killed a cop, you’re not a motherfucking thug yet
Your mind is empty and spaceous
Like the part of the brain that appreciates culture interracist
Face it, you’re too basic
You’re never gonna make it
Like children walking through Antarctica, butt-naked

immortal technique-leaving the past
They told me I would never make it, I would never achieve it
Reality is nurishment, but people don’t believe it
I guess its hard to stomach the truth like a bulimick
its a dirty game and nobody is willing to clean it
But this is for the paralygics, people dreamin’ of runnin’
ladies married to men who dont please ‘em, dreamin’ of comin’
urbanly murderous like David Berkowitz when I’m gunnin’
Some cowards on the internet didn’t think I would sell
scared to talk shit in person, cuz they stuck in a shell
and couldn’t understand the pain of being stuck in a cell
Hell is not a place you go, if you not a christian
it’s the failure of your lifes greatest ambition
It’s a bad decision to blindly follow any religion
I don’t see the difference in between the raw and the wrong
Soldiers emptyin’ the clips at little kids and they moms
I’m just like a desperate motherfucker strapped to a bomb
Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin’ a song
I’m not controversial, I’m just speakin’ the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack
And since life is a gamble like the crabstables at Vegas
I freestyle my destiny, it’s not written in pages

[Verse 2]
I hate it when they tell us how far we came to be
as if our peoples history started with slavery
Painfully I discovered the shit they kept us secret
this is the exodus like the black jews out of Egypt
I keep it reality based wit the music I make
brought the truth to your face with the style I run wit
like the navy missile that shot down flight eighthundred
I’m like the africans who came here before Colombus
and from the 15hundreds until after the model
I watch Latin America get raped in the sorrow
You see the spanjards never left Espace the Cologne
and if you don’t believe me, you can click on Uni Mission
I never seen so much racism in all of my life
every program and newscast, all of them white
It’s like a part tide with 10 percent ruling the rest
that type of stress ‘ll make me put the fucking tool to your chest
Step in my way nigga, I wouldn’t wanna be ya
I burn slow like (a) pissing drunk with gonnorrhea
I’ll do a freak show in North Korea, burning the flag
while Jay Edgar Hoover politicians dress up in drag
Try to confuse you, makin’ it hard to follow this:
capitalism en democracy are not synonymous
You swallow propaganda like a birth control pill
sellin’ your soul to the eye on the back of the dollar bill
But that will never be me, cuz I am leavin’ the past
like an abused wife with the kids, leavin’ your ass
Like a drug addict clean and sober, leavin’ the stash
unbreakable Technique leavin’ the plane crash
I’m out with the black box and I refuse to return
I spit reality, instead of what you usually learn
and I refuse to be concerned with condecending advice
cuz I am the only motherfucker that could change my life

[Ending]
Some people think I won’t make it
but I know that I will
Escape the emptiness
cuz that shit is slow and it kills
the flow and the skill
I made y’all believe that it last
You can make the future
but it starts with LEAVING THE PAST

Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town
Where you can’t smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement

Up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies
For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They’re all uptight
Uptight… [x7]

I wish that they’d swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I’m driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I’d love to see it

I’d tell all my friends
But they’d never believe
They’d think that I’d finally lost it completely

I’d show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They’d shut me away
But I’d be all right
All right…

I’m just uptight
Uptight… [x7]

[center]The Innocent - Goldfinger

[Tribute By Goldfinger, Good Charlotte, Mest]
[/center]
The start of Armageddon
And it’s just another day
We all saw the news nothing to say

So many friends are missing
So many friends are missing
Family members gone
So we all preyed and God help them be strong

And now we stand together
Remembering that day
The lives we live will never be the same

And we don’t know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?

And we don’t know why
But we know it’s not right
We don’t know why so many had to die
We don’t know why so many had to die

Hate has turned to others
For their religion or their skin
But hate can’t solve the problem it began

Everyone is angry
People are afraid
And no one knows what decisions will be made

And we don’t know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?

And we don’t know why
But we know it’s not right
We don’t know why so many had to die
We don’t know why so many had to die

And we don’t know why
The innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change?

And we don’t know why
But we know it’s not right
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same

And we don’t know why
Will any of us ever be the same?
Will any of this ever be the same

I feel in a :rofl: mood…

The Toy Master from Tobias Sammet’s Avantasia

[size=150][b][color=orange]Out in the cold, I see water frozen in their eyes.
What a sorry sight!
I am willing to believe they would pay for a smile.

I’m the master of toys
And all you girls and boys
Are welcome to my wonderland!
I’m the angel of joy
And I’m here to paint the void.
Welcome to my world.
I’m dealing in pain and little Novocaine.
Welcome to my world; to my toy factory.[/color][/b][/size]

It’s not the whole song, but it really is a very eerie song if you know the story behind Avantasia. :wink: It’s awesome. Alice Cooper sings it and that makes it all the better.

Ain’t no mountain high enough
sung by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrel

Listen, baby
Ain’t no mountain high
Ain’t no valley low
Ain’t no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far,

Don’t worry baby
Just call out my name
I’ll be there in a hurry
You don’t have to worry

Because baby,
There ain’t no mountain high enough
ain’t no valley low enough
ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you you could always count on me darling
From that day on I made a vow
I’ll be there when you want me
Some way, some how

'Cause baby,
There ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe

No wind, no rain
Or winters cold
Can’t stop me baby
(no no baby)
Cause you are my goal
If you are ever in trouble
I’ll be there on the double
Just send for me oh baby

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand
I’ll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can

Don’t you know that
There ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Don’t you know that
There ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough

The song somehow got stuck in my head earlier - the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrel duet version. I remember being reintroduced to the song through the movie 'Stepmom" some time last year. It’s an oldie and I like it.

I love Interpol lyrics

Interpol - ‘Pace is the trick’

You can’t hold it too tight
These matters of security
You don’t have to be wound so tight
Smoking on the balcony

Well it’s like sleeze in the park
You women, you have no self-control
We angels remark outside
You are known for insatiable needs
But I don’t know a thing

I’ve seen love,
And I follow the speed in the starlight
I’ve seen love
And I follow the speed in the star-swept night

Yeah, Pace is the trick.
And to all the corruption in man…

I see you as you take your pride, my lioness
Your defenses seem wise, I cannot press
And attention’s at demise, my lioness
Can’t you hurt it some, I think i hurt it

I’ve seen love
I follow the speed in the starlight
I’ve seen love
And I follow the speed in the star-swept night
And now I select you
Slow now I let you see how I stun
Now I select you
Slow now I bet you see how I stun

To all the destruction in man…
And to all the corruption in my hand…

And now I select you
Slow now, I let you see how I stun
Now I select you
Slow now, I bet you see how i stun
Now I select you
Slow now, I let you see how I stun
Now I select you
Slow now, I let you
I always follow the speed in the Star-swept night

…You don’t hold a candle

How to say goodbye
by Michael W. Smith

Tell me when the time we had slipped away
Tomorrow turned to yesterday
And I don’t know how
Tell me what can stop this river of tears
It’s been building up for years
For this moment now

Here I stand
Arms open wide
I’ve held ya close
Kept ya safe
Till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind
And how to say goodbye

Tell me why
Why does following your dreams
Take you far away from me
And I knew that it would

Tell me how to fill the space you left behind
And how to laugh instead of cry
And how to say goodbye

Here I stand
Arms open wide
I’ve held ya close
Kept ya safe
Till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind
And how to say goodbye.

mhmm…

Judee Sill - Crayon Angels
I love this artist, and I thought that these lyrics would be appropriate for LD4all!

Crayon angel songs are slightly out of tune
But I’m sure I’m not to blame
Nothing’s happened but I think it will soon
So I sit here waiting for God and a train
To the astral plane …

Magic rings I made have turned my finger green
And my mystic roses died
Guess reality is not as it seems
So I sit here hoping for truth and a ride
To the other side …

Phoney prophets stole the only light I knew
And the darkness softly screamed
Holy visions disappeared from my view
But the angels come back and laugh in my dreams
I wonder what it means …

Ozzy - Diary of a Madman

Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation endless price I have to pay

Sanity now it’s beyond me there’s no choice

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I’m here to stay

Manic depression befriends me
Hear his voice
Sanity now it’s beyond me
There’s no choice

A sickened mind and spirit
The mirror tells me lies
Could I mistake myself for someone
Who lives behind my eyes
Will he escape my soul
Or will he live in me
Is he tryin’ to get out or tryin’ to enter me

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Enemies fill up the pages
Are they me
Monday till Sunday in stages
Set me free
