The Lyrics Thread-Part II

Call me demented if I’ve posted this before. @_@

K’s Choice - Believe
[i]
Bravely I look further than I see
Knowing things I know I cannot be, not now
I’m so aware of where I am, but I don’t know where that is
And there’s something right in front of me and I

Touch the fingers of my hand
And I wonder if it’s me
Holding on and on to Theories of prosperity
Someone who can promise me
I believe in me

Tomorrow I was nothing, yesterday I’ll be
Time has fooled me into thinking it’s a part of me
Nothing in this room but empty space
No me, no world, no mind, no face

Touch the fingers of my hand and tell me if it’s me
Holding on and on to Love, what else is real
A religion that appeals to me, oh
I believe in me

Can you turn me off for just a second, please
Turn me into something faceless, weightless, mindless, homeless
Vacuum state of peace

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

Wait for me, I’m nothing on my own
I’m willing to go on, but not alone, not now
I’m so aware of everything, but nothing seems for real and
As long as you’re in front of me then I’ll

I watch the fingers of our hands
And I’m grateful that it’s me
Holding on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I believe in me

I’m willing to go on but not alone, not now
I’m so aware of everything[/i]

I’ll never stop loving this song :slight_smile:

Escape
Ride the Lightning

Fell no pain, but my life ain’t easy
I know I’m my best friend
No one cares, but I’m so much stronger
I’ll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can’t get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity

Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don’t tell my what to do
I don’t care now, 'cause I’m on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain’t right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight

Out of my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can’t see
No need to hear things that they say
Life is for my own to live my own way

See they try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground
Life is for my own to live my own way

Sorry for all the 'tallica :tongue:

[color=red]Finger Eleven
Slow Chemical

The wonder of the world is gone and old for sure
All the wonder that I would have found in her

As a hole becomes another strike to burn
An old flame returns

Every intuition fails to find it’s way
One more table turned around I’m back again

Finding I’m a lost and found when she’s not around
When she’s not around I feel it coming down

Get me what I could never ask for
Connect me and you could be my chemical NOW

Give me the drug you know I’m after
Connect me and you could be my chemical

When everybody wants (the chemical of) your soul

When everybody wants (the chemical of) your soul

Slow and
Everybody wants you
So
Slow and
Everybody wants your soul

Give me what I could never ask for
connect me and you could be my chemical NOW

Give me the drug you know I’m after
Connect me and you could be the chemical

You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical
You could be the chemical[/color]

Scorpions - Wind of Change

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,like brothers
The future’s in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I fallow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change [/color]

To the theme of Cat’s in the cradle… (sue me i think it’s funny :tongue: )

Bob Rivers - Cat’s in the Kettle

did you ever think
when you eat chinese
that it aint pork or chicken
but a fat Siamese
yet the food tastes great
so you don’t complain
but thats not chicken
in your chicken chowmien

seems to me i ordered sweet n sour pork
but garfields on my fork
he’s purring here on my fork

there’s a cat in the kettle
of the pei-king moon
the place that i eat everday at noon
they can feed you cat and you’ll never know
once they rap it up in dough boys
it’s right real crisp in dough.

Chowlin asked if i wanted more
as he was dialin up his buddy at the old pet store
i said not today i lost my appietite
there’s two cats in my belly and they want to fight
i was sucking on a rolaid and a tums or two
when i sware i heard it meow
and that is when knew

there’s a cat in the kettle
at the pei-king moon
think i gotta stop eating there at noon
they say thats its beef or fish or pork
but its purring htere on my fork
theres a hairball on my fork[/color]

[color=blue]That’s entertainment - Paul Weller

A police car and a screaming siren
A pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking

that’s entertainment.

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

that’s entertainment.

Days of speed and slow time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls

that’s entertainment.

Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays

that’s entertainment.

Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume
A hot summers’ day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway

that’s entertainment.

Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs

that’s entertainment.[/color]

I’ve been listening to Alice in Chains lately, kind of depressing, but great music, so here are some lyrics :grin:

I Stay Away
by Alice In Chains

[color=blue]
Yeah, I want to travel south
This year
Aaah, Woah, Woah
Won’t prevent safe passage here

Why you act crazy
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes shade

Yeah, hey Yeah, tears that soak
A callous heart

Why you act frightened
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you’ll see

I stay away[/color]

No Excuses by Alice In Chains
[color=red]
It’s alright
There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin’ low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I’ve sold

Everyday it’s something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin’ by myself
No excuses, then I know

It’s okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it’s funny, well
You’re drowning in it too

Yeah, it’s fine
We’ll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway[/color]

In The Light by LED ZEPPELIN

[color=indigo]And if you feel that you can’t go on. And your will’s sinkin’ low
Just believe and you can’t go wrong.
In the light you will find the road. You will find the road

Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you, standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through to the very depths of my soul.
I just wanna show what I’d give you it is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would share your load.
Let me share your load. Ooh, let me share, share your load

And if you feel that you can’t go on
In the light you will find the road

Though the winds of change may blow around you, but that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, if you are never alone
I would share your load. I would share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me

In the light
Everybody needs the light.
In the light, in the light, in the light

Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light, ooh, yeah
Light, light, light, in the light

End on the nice side :peek:

Jim Stafford Spiders and Snakes

I remember when Mary Lou said
‘You wanna walk me home from school’
And I said, ‘Yes, I do’
She said, ‘I don’t have to go right home
And I’m the kind that likes to be alone
As long as you would’
I said, ‘Me, too’

And so we took a stroll
Wound up down by the swimmin’ hole
And she said, ‘Do what you want to do’
I got silly and I found a frog
In the water by a hollow log
And I shook it at her
And I said ‘This frog’s for you’
She said…

Chorus:
‘I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you’

Well, I think of that girl from time to time
I call her up when I got a dime
I say, "Hello, baby’
She says, ‘Ain’t you cool’
I say, ‘Do you remember when?
And would you like to get together again?’
She says, ‘I’ll see you after school’

I was shy and so for a while
Most of my love was touch and smile
Til she said, ‘Come on over here’
I was nervous as you might guess
Still looking for somethin’ to slip down her dress
And she said, ‘Let’s make it perfectly clear’
She said…
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool, you fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I want to be loved by you’

[color=blue]Herman’s Hermits My Sentimental Friend

On the floor, the people dancing round
Moving close together
But there over low in the corner
There’s the girl I once knew
Who broke me in two.
So won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We’ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I’ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

I recall the way she used to feel
When we heard a sad song
The teardrops would fall
And she’d hold me
And tell me,
She’d be for ever with me.
So won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We’ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I’ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

Oh won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there.

We’ve been so long apart
Make it go right to the heart
Of my sentimental friend over there.
Bring the tears to her eyes
Help to make her realize
The love we had was just beyond compare.
And if the time is right
Maybe I’ll held her tight
My sentimental friend over there.

So won’t you please play a song
A sentimental song
For my sentimental friend over there… [/color]

LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER ME.

I’M PRAYING FOR A RAIN IN CALIFORNIA
SO THE GRAPES CAN GROW AND THEY CAN MAKE MORE WINE
AND I’M SITTING IN A HONKY IN CHICAGO
WITH A BROKEN HEART AND A WOMAN ON MY MIND

I’LL ASK THE MAN, BEHIND THE BAR, FOR THE JUKEBOX
AND THE MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TO TENNESSEE
AND WHEN THEY ASK WHO’S THE FOOL IN THE CORNER, CRYING
I’LL SAY, LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER ME

I CAME HERE LAST WEEK FROM DOWN IN NASHVILLE
'COS MY BABY LEFT FOR FLORIDA ON A TRAIN
I THOUGHT I’D GET A JOB AND JUST FORGET HER
BUT IN CHICAGO A BROKEN HEART IS STILL THE SAME

I’LL ASK THE MAN, BEHIND THE BAR, FOR THE JUKEBOX
AND THE MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TO TENNESSEE
AND WHEN THEY ASK WHO’S THE FOOL IN THE CORNER, CRYING
I’LL SAY, LITTLE OLD WINE DRINKER

Orestes By A Perfect Circle

Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb One chain One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
And from pulling you down with me
In here I can almost hear you scream
One more medicated peaceful moment (give me)
One more medicated peaceful moment
And I don’t wanna feel this overwhelming hostility
No, I don’t wanna feel this world around me hostility
Kill it
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Gotta cut away clear away
Snip away inside of this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you
Keeping me from killing you

“Heresy” By Nine Inch Nails

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what I put inside of me
he’s got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed up a god and called it Christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell I will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell I will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?

I hate to revive an old thread but… ah what the heck I’ll be honest and say that I had fun reviving this baby.

I love this song.

Gotta love Queen! :wink:

You didnt revive anything, it’s been here :wink: I got upset when i read that, just b/c there are so many new threads that arent even needed. Just a thought :bored:

And on the topic, that’s a good song, Classic :wink: , but after hearing it everytime i drive my car, it can get annoining :neutral:

I’m sorry but I have had this song on my mind since Aug 1975! So by posting the lyrics I may finally break free! :tongue:

Superwomble by Mike Batt

In the middle of Manhattan, when the whole town sleeps:
There stands a lonely figure, he’s the guardian of the streets.
If he flies in through the window when you’re trying to get some rest,
You’ll know it’s Superwomble ‘cause his name is on his vest.
He can fly, He can swim, He’s a Hero, He’s got X-ray sight:

Superwomble, Superwomble, Superwomble Womble, Superwomble Womble
Superwomble, Superwomble, Superwomble Womble, Superwomble Womble

His muscles make you envy him, his speed is superquick,
He’s so good looking that he really makes you sick
There’s no rubbish on the roof-tops when he flies through the night,
Cleaning up the Universe in his Superwomble tights.
He can fly, He can swim, He’s Hero, He’s got X-ray sight.

Superwomble, Superwomble, Superwomble Womble, Superwomble Womble
Superwomble, Superwomble, Superwomble Womble, Superwomble Womble

[color=red]You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth MEATLOAF

(spoken)
BOY: On a hot summer night,
would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
GIRL: Will he offer me his mouth?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Will he offer me his teeth?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Will he offer me his jaws?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Will he offer me his hunger?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Again, will he offer me his hunger?
BOY: Yes!
GIRL: And does he love me?
BOY: Yes.
GIRL: Yes.
BOY: On a hot summer night,
would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?
GIRL: Yes.
BOY: I bet you say that to all the boys!

(sung)
It was a hot summer night
and the beach was burning.
There was fog crawling over the sand.
When I listen to your heart
I hear the whole world turning.
I see the shooting stars falling
through your trembling hands.

You were licking your lips
and your lipstick shining.
I was dying just to ask for a taste.
We were lying together in a silver lining
by the the light of the moon.
You know there’s not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste.

You hold me so close that my knees grow weak.
But my soul is flying high above the ground.
I’m trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can’t seem to make any sound.

And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it’s true,
I was just about to say I love you.
And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it’s true,
I was just about to say I love you.

Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I’m beginning to grin.
Oh we’re finally alone and we can do what we want to.
The night is young
And Ain’t no-one gonna know where you
No-one gonna know where you
No-one’s gonna know where you’ve been.
You were licking your lips
and your lipstick shining.
I was dying just to ask for a taste.
We were lying together in a silver lining
by the the light of the moon.
You know there’s not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste.

And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it’s true,
I was just about to say I love you.
And then you took the words right out of my mouth.
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
And I swear it’s true,
I was just about to say I love you.

THE DOORS - “Moonlight Drive”

[color=blue]
Let’s swim to the moon, uh huh
Let’s climb through the tide
Penetrate the evenin’ that the
City sleeps to hide
Let’s swim out tonight, love
It’s our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive

Let’s swim to the moon, uh huh
Let’s climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side

Nothin’ left open
And no time to decide
We’ve stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive

Let’s swim to the moon
Let’s climb through the tide
You reach your hand to hold me
But I can’t be your guide

Easy, I love you
As I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests
On our moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight drive

Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride
Down, down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close
Get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight
Goin’ down, down, down [/color]

Pantera
- The Great Southern Trendkill
[color=olive]It’s wearing on my mind,
I’m speaking all my doubts aloud
You rob a dead mans grave,
Then flaunt it like you did create

If I hit bottom and everythings gone
In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run

It’s digging time again,
you’re nurturing the weakest trend

Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking

Fck your magazine,
and f
ck the long dead plastic scene
Pierce a new hole,
if Hell was “in” you’d give your soul

THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL
That’s right,
THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL

Buy it at a store,
from MTV to on the floor
You look just like a star,
it’s proof you don’t know who you are

If I hit bottom and everythings gone
In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run

It’s bullshit time again,
you’ll save the world within your trend

Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking

Politically relieved,
you’re product sold and well received
The right words spoken gold,
if I was God you’d sell your soul to…

THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL
That’s right,
THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL[/color]

Dredg - Whoa Is Me

The only things surrounding you now
Are the circular memories
Infect your conscience
They are the make up of your worries
Regrets and doubts

Elective betrayal of your person
Radiates confidence
Shine with silence
And shadow the ones below

This drought is leaving me
With cracked soil and brown leaves
Floating on a dry lake bed
With a dry mouth and foggy head
Waiting for the snow
When the water comes
I will overflow
I will overflow
When the water comes
I will overflow

There’s one more thing
I forgot to tell you
Worries and doubts
Will only help you
In the long run
You’ll shadow the ones below

This drought is leaving me
With cracked soil and brown leaves
Floating on a dry lake bed
With a dry mouth and foggy head
Waiting for the snow
When the water comes
I will overflow
I will overflow
When the water comes
I will overflow

Devin Townsend - Things Beyond Things

Once when I was young, I used to dream for hours and hours
I’d dream a world that wasn’t small…
And I’d travel to a valley where under trees and earth
I’d set my girl…
…And I knelt down by her head
And lay roses in her hair and I kissed her gently…
But this is what you are
As the sun sets in my eyes I know…
I know I know I know I know I know

And I know this one’s the light
And the worm inside of me
Is the oldest wound that I’ve nursed along
…So don’t try to get inside
These things inside are wrong, things beyond things

It’s sick now
It’s rotten to the core, its eyes bulge and gaze at me…
…Lovingly…
And I remember this smell from my dreams except it was sweeter then…
And even in this room, where I used to lock my secrets
It’s starting to smell just like my friend
And I told you not to breathe, so now I sit and watch the rain, I know
I know I know I know I know I know I know I know

And I know this one’s the dark
And the woman inside of me, is the oldest wound that
I’ve nursed along…
So don’t try to get inside
These things inside are all just things

There are sooo many great songs on here…here’s a few more

[color=blue]Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing

Well, she’s walking through the clouds,
With a circus mind that’s running wild,
Butterflies and Zebras,
And Moonbeams and fairy tales.
That’s all she ever thinks about.
Riding with the wind.

When I’m sad, she comes to me,
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free.
It’s alright, she says it’s alright,
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.
Fly on little wing.

[color=red]Grateful Dead - Truckin’

Truckin’ got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin’, like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin’ on.

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s all on the same street.
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans;
New York’s got the ways and means; but just won’t let you be, oh no.

Most of the cast that you meet on the streets speak of true love,
Most of the time they’re sittin’ and cryin’ at home.
One of these days they know they better get goin’
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.

Truckin’, like the do-dah man. Once told me “You’ve got to play your hand”
Sometimes your cards ain’t worth a dime, if you don’t lay’em down,

Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurres to me What a long, strange trip it’s been.

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn’t the same
Livin’ on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is “Ain’t it a shame?”

Truckin’, up to Buffalo. Been thinkin’, you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin’ on.

Sittin’ and starin’ out of the hotel window.
Got a tip they’re gonna kick the door in again
I’d like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you got a warrant, I guess you’re gonna come in.

Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin’ pin.
Knocked down, it get’s to wearin’ thin. They just won’t let you be, oh no.

You’re sick of hangin’ around and you’d like to travel;
Get tired of travelin’ and you want to settle down.
I guess they can’t revoke your soul for tryin’,
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.

Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurres to me What a long, strange trip it’s been.

Truckin’, I’m a goin’ home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin’ on.
Hey now get back truckin’ home.[/color]

[color=green]Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son

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

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I’m dreaming
I can hear them say

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don’t know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

No!

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
The center lights around your vanity
But surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry (don’t you cry no more)[/color]

[color=blue]In The Army Now STATUS QUO

A vacation in a foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

You’ll be the hero of the neigbourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls (stand up and fight)
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

You’ve got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger’s on the trigger
But it don’t seem right
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

Night is falling and you just can’t see
Is this illusion or reality
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now
You’re in the army now
Oh, oh, you’re in the army now

WAR (Barret Strong, Norman Whitfield/Edwin Star)

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
War is something that I despise
For it means destruction of innocent lives
For it means tears in thousands of mothers’ eyes
When their sons go out to fight to give their lives

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War
It’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction destruction
Who wants to die

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

War has shattered many young men’s dreams
Made them disabled bitter and meanLife is too precious to be fighting wars
each day
War can’t give life it can only take it away

War
It’s nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding
There must be some place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord there’s gotta be a better way
That’s better than
War

War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing

[color=green]AGE OF AQUARIUS

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation
Aquarius! Aquarius!

Nine Inch Nails “The Great Below”
[color=darkblue]staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me
after all is said and done
anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you
all the world has closed her eyes
tried faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been

ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny I’ve chose
all becoming clear
the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear

I descend from grace
in arms of undertow
I will take my place
in the geat below

I can still feel you
even so far away[/color]

Marilyn Manson[/b][/color]“The Reflecting God”[color=olive]your world is an ashtray
we burn and coil like cigarettes
the more you cry your ashes turn to mud
it’s the nature of the leeches, the virgin’s
feeling cheated
you’ve only spent a second of your life
my world is unaffected, there is an exit here
I say it is and then it’s true,
there is a dream inside a dream,
I’m wide awake the more I sleep
you’ll understand when I’m dead
I went to god just to see, and I was looking at me
saw heaven and hell were lies
when I’m god everybody dies
scar/can you feel my power?
shoot here and the world gets smaller
scar/scar/can you feel my power?
one shot and the world gets smaller
let’s jump upon the sharp swords
and cut away our smiles
without the threat of death
there’s no reason to live at all
my world is unaffected, there is an exit here
I say it is and then it’s true,
there is a dream inside a dream,
I’m wide awake the more I sleep
you’ll understand when I’m dead

[bridge]

[chorus]

“each thing i show you is a piece of my death”
shoot shoot shoot motherfucker
no salvation, no forgiveness
“this is beyond your experience”
forgiveness…[/color]

And now for something completely different! :tongue:

[color=blue]Three Wheels on My Wagon

Three wheels on my wagon
And I’m still rolling along.
The Cherokees are chasing me
Arrows fly
Right on by,
But I’m singing a happy song.

Higgardy haggardy hoggardy hi
Pioneers, they never say die.
About a mile up ahead there’s a hidden cave
Where we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by.

Two wheels on my wagon
And I’m still rolling along.
Them Cherokees are after me
Flaming spears
Burn my ears,
But I’m singing a happy song.

Higgardy haggardy hoggardy hi
Pioneers, they never say die.
Half a mile up ahead there’s a hidden cave
Where we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by.

One wheel on my wagon
And I’m still rolling along.
The Cherokees after me
I’m all in flames
At the reins,
But I’m singing a happy song.
Higgardy haggardy hoggardy hi
Pioneers, they never say die.
Just around the next turn there’s a hidden cave
Where we can watch those Cherokees
Go galloping by.

No wheels on my wagon
And I’m not rolling along.
The Cherokees captured me
They look mad
Things look bad,
But I’m singing a happy song.

Sing along you Cherokees

Higgardy haggardy hoggardy hi
Pioneers, they never say die.
Higgardy haggardy hoggardy hi
Higgardy haggardy hoggardy hi [/color]

Just one this time…two maybe too much of a culture shock for you :tongue:

The Happening The Supremes

Hey life, look at me
I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me, outta my world
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to the happening

When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you find a tender love
You don’t need to take care of
Then you better beware of the happening

One day you’re up
When you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour, yeah!
Riding high on the top of the world it happened
Suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams torn apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you, the happening

Now I see life for what it is
It’s not a dream
It’s not a bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened
Ooh, and then it happened

Is it real?
Is it fake?
Is this game of life a mistake?
'Cause when I lost the love
I thought was mine for certain
Suddenly it starts hurting
I saw the light too late
When that fickle finger of fate
Yeah! It came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up

So sure, I felt secure
Until love took a detour
'Cause when you got a tender love
You don’t take care of
Then you better beware of
The happening

The lyrics to Prisoner Cell block H
[color=blue]ON THE INSIDE written by ALLAN CASWELL

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

We build our world together
With a love so clear and strong
But that was on the outside
Where did I go wrong?

(Chorus)
On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

Last night I dreamed we were together
Sharing all the love we’d known
'Til I had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone

(Chorus)
On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When morning comes around

(New Chorus)
On the inside the roses grow
They don’t mind the stoney ground
But the roses here are prisoners too
When morning comes around

He used to give me roses
I wish he could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then[/color]

being not on a tool forum hopefully these will be relatively new to some of you

Reflection

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.

I love this song and thought you guys could do with a healthy dose of anime!

Rain-Cowboy Bebop

I don’t feel a thing
and I stopped remembering
The days are just like moments turned to hours

Mother Used to say
if you want, you’ll find a way
Bet mother never danced through fire shower

Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Is it right or is it wrong
and is it here that I belong

I don’t hear a sound
Silent faces in the ground
The quiet screams, but I refuse to listen

If there is a hell
I’m sure this is how it smells
Wish this were a dream, but no, it isn’t

Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Am I right or am I wrong
and is it here that I belong

Walk in the rain, in the rain, in the rain
I walk in the rain, in the rain
Why do I feel so alone
For some reason I think of home
