Blue Oyster Cult - Godzilla

with a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
he pulls the splitting high tension wires down
helpless people on subway trains
scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them
he picks up a bus and he throws it back down
and he waves to the people in the center of town

oh no, they say he's got to go, go go godzilla
oh no, THERE GOES TOKYO GO GO GODZILLA!

oh no, they say he's got to go, go go godzilla
oh no, THERE GOES TOKYO GO GO GODZILLA!

history shows again and again
how nature points up the folly of man
godzilla
history shows again and again
godzilla
history shows again and again
how nature points up the folly of man
godzilla
history shows again and again
godzilla

i love you godzirra!

Elysian Fields - Narcosmicoma

The radio was calling you
To taste the seed of light
Between the rain
You freed your brain
Spun wheels on highway night
Instant impact made you see
And suddenly you became that tree
Narcosmicoma let you in
Into the whirlwind of blue floss imaginings
Narcosmicoma let you in
Beyond the margins
Eclipsing the eternal rim
Into the dreams that breathe your name
You'll rest a little while
Held deeper than the ocean miles
We're all an only child
Instant impact made you see
And suddenly you became that tree
Narcosmicoma let you in
Into the whirlwind of blue floss imaginings
Narcosmicoma let you in
Beyond the margins
Eclipsing the eternal rim

Birthday Cake
By Cibo Matto

From Jet Set Radio Future

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

Yes, I'm cooking for my son and his wife
It's his thirtieth birthday
Pour berries into my bowl
Add milk of two months ago
'It's moldy mom, isn't it?'
I don't give a flying fuck though

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!
Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

It's food nouveau
It's food nouveau
It's the shape of love
Beat it! Beat it up!
Beat it! Beat it up!

Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG
Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!
Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

You were born in the sixties
We made a war with the Vietnamese
We loved LSD, we died easily
Can we just say c'est la vie?
So what! Say what! For your own sake
Do you have a headache or heartbreak?
Are you made or broken by the birthday cake?
You may be slow on the uptake
I pour pot in the birthday cake
So what! Say what! For my own sake
Watch out yo! Here I come yo!
I'm gonna change to a rattlesnake
Turn up the TV! Do you agree?
Yeah, I'm talking turkey take it from me
I'm gonna show my love for my dove
'But it's moldy, mom, isn't it?'

Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG
Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!
Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is very sweet!

4 da shorteeeeeeeeeeeeeez (Doing it for da Shorteez)
4 da shorteeeeeeeeeeeeeez (For da Shorteez)

4 da Shorteez, gather round let me tell you something. 4 da Shorteez, can’t you hear them little stomachs rumble’n. 4 da Shorteez, yo, you go’n to eat that rake of mutt’n? 4 da Shorteez, the shorteez short of some love’n.

Come on, My name is sirloin, been out for while. I Got four stomachs balling what coming to mine. Just a little MC betty with a vacancy sign. Got to like to host the kindness of the charity kind.

You got can goods just collecting dust. You got the meat, got the fruit, got vegetables. Only prerequisite that it’s eatable. Get the Freak out of my freaky fruit festival. Cold cuts a must, I’ll even take bread crust, cuz the shortees be begg’n and beggars don’t’ give a fuck. They’s hungry, let’s face facts they’s starved, fell the void in your heart, as you fill your shopping cart. For da Shorteez. 4 da shorteeeeeeeeeeeeees. For da Shorteez y’all. 4 da shorteeeeeeeeeeeeees. For da Shorteez.

Think at what at stake, look upon you plate. If it’s a lavish stake, time to regurgitate. You got a dozen chian, but little jim is to slim. Your little finger could fit in that little kids exposed rib.
Think of all the shorteez, can’t you hear them cry? Time to cough up those burgers and fries.
Hand over left overs. Cans paul got high? Give to the hungry shorteez, so the shorteez won’t die. Stop the famine please. Instead of eating ham and cheese. Throw away your greens. You’ll be pissing on a dream. Give me all your onion rings, it’s alright lesson. Slice of pizza, it’s alright if a bit is miss’n. Prime rib, pork chop pour some hot sauce don’t stop. Mine’s in my cop slot, to the shorteez it’s a lot. They’ve been hungry since birth, so hand over you dessert. Open up you mouth, stick you finger down it could be worse.

Listen closely, gimme all your groceries. Cuz a little baby scream’n man I need a hoagie. Somebody hold me. Somebody console me. Somebody boil me up a pot of pierogies. Think of what we’re face’n. All those little faces. Come on lets erase this. 4 da shorteez. (Cheek it out)
Doing it for da Shorteez. Doing it for da Shorteez. Doing it for da Shorteez. Doing it for da Shorteez you’ll. For the Shorteeeeeeeez.

Got crackers, got chips, got pudd’n cups. You’d be surprised what little shorteez like to munch. Could be trash, could be mold, could be excrement. could be a bag of old dippers, they call that lunch. Mayonnaise been out for a couple of days. Go get corpses, scabs and eggs. Sweet bread, pig heads, horses heads too. What to drop it like a habit? Here’s what you do. (For da shorteeeeeeeez)

612 Wharf Avenue, what? 612 Wharf Avenue, what? 612 Wharf Avenue, what? 612 Wharf Avenue.


But, Please no more canned yams, seriously man, we got more canned yams then we know what to do with.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Tuesday's Gone

Train roll on, on down the line,
Won't you please take me far away?
Now I feel the wind blow outside my door,
Means I'm leaving my woman behind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.

And I don't know where I'm going.
I just want to be left alone.
Well, when this train ends I'll try again,
But I'm leaving my woman at home.

(chorus)
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
Tuesday's gone with the wind.
My woman's gone with the wind.

Train roll on many miles from my home,
See, I'm riding my blues away.
Tuesday, you see, she had to be free
But somehow I've got to carry on.

(chorus)

Travis - Love Will Come Through

If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and
Keep it alive

Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone
In this life

So look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

And you stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I've got a feeling
It's right

If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believing
The sound of the wings
Of the flight

Of a dove, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down
The mountain

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Oh, look up, take it away
Don't look da-da-da-down

If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you

Love will come through
Love will come through
Love will come through

Rentals - Man With Two Brains

Well, then the man with two brains says:
Been thinkin' bout the conversations, our situation
My frustration, leading to your suffocation
Feel uptight and my thoughts deranged and insane
Like The Man With Two Brains
So, I forgot the neurotic, got into the psychotic
All those words haven't heard, you're kind of erotic
Got no guilt, got no mind, got no reason, got no time
I'm high on the sly
(It will be OK)
I don't know about that
(It's the American way)
Yeah, maybe that's where it's at
(You were raised that way)
The Europeans say
(The Man With Two Brains)
Well then The Man With Two Brains says "It's a science
I've got one for my actions, one for my conscience
Yeah, one's for the sex and the other's for the consequence"
Then The Girl With One Brain says "You make no sense,
You make no sense"
Then, the anti-cruise takes form in the frame of a young woman
From a passionate scene to a sterile queen
I put a bottle of Ed's Red in my head, a little dead
And surprised when you said:
(It will be OK)
I don't know about that
(It's the American way)
Yeah, maybe that's where it's at
(You were raised that way)
The Europeans say
(The Man With Two Brains)
Well then The Man With Two Brains says "It's a science
I've got one for my actions, one for my conscience
Yeah, one's for the sex and the other's for the consequence"
Then The Girl With One Brain says "You make no sense,
You make no sense"
(it's cool, cool) Well The Girl With One Brain says "It's not a science,
You can't have one for your actions and one for the consequence
It's all about sex, so what's the difference"
Then, The Man With Two Brains says "You make no sense"
(you make no sense, no sense, you make no sense, no sense)
The Europeans say: (It will be OK)
Kick back and rela (The Man With Two Brains)
Roll on the flow track (It will be OK)
The Europeans say (The Man With Two Brains is all about sex)

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry (aka The Lorries) - talk about the weather

well you keep coming up to me
you keep saying that it's up to me
you ain't nothing but a true embrace
you ain't nothing but a hidden face
and you're looking fair enough to me
you just see what you want to see
i want to know if you really care
i want to take you way down there
and stand in the rain and get you wet
you say you love me but not quite yet
i want to go out there to an open space
those tears to cry and show your face
oh I'm so soaked to the skin
yeah I'm so soaked to the skin
you want to talk about the weather

saturation is a point
there's nothing left you know
nowhere left for me to hide
nothing left but still alive
to face it all and here today
there's nothing left in you and me
and I can't show you this inside
if all you want to do is hide
i want to take you out and get you wet
you say you love me but not quite yet
i want to go out there to a sheltered place
those tears to cry and show your face
oh I'm so soaked to the skin
yeah I'm so soaked to the skin
you want to talk about the weather

sheltered from tomorrow
as though it may never come
you hide behind a wall of stone
and then you feel you're not alone
so face it all it's here today
you love me in your sheltered way
and I can't hold you in my hands
and talk about these hidden charms
i want to take them...
you want to talk about the weather
oh I'm so soaked to the skin
yeah I'm so soaked to the skin
you want to talk about the weather

The Cooper Temple Clause- the same mistakes-

And So It Has To Change
The Notebook's Now In Pieces
Words We'll Never Sing
I Know You'll Say I've Simply Jumped The Gun
And That They've Won
But You Can't Keep Making The Same Mistakes.
You See I've Had This Thought
It Took Its Time In Coming
But Now Won't Be Denied
I'd Always Gone About These Things All Wrong
But Not This Song
'cos You Can't Keep Making The Same Mistakes
No You Can't Keep Making The Same Mistakes
Can't Jump Ship Just Yet
There's No One At The Wheel
Someone Has To Steer
Get A Hold Of Yourself
Keep Your Head There's No Time To Waste
You'll See It Soon Enough
But All Is Not Forgotten
And Now's No Time For Tears
'cos Though That Boy Has Died This One Still Lives
And Now There's Life
And A Chance To Make Up For All Those Mistakes
But Please Don't Get Me Wrong
'cos Everything Was Honest
True And From The Heart
There's Still The Same Old Hang Ups So Don't Fret
It's Not Safe Yet
And Who Knows There's Always Time To Screw Up Again
But Maybe We'll Be Cool
'cos You Were Made An Offer
You Could Not Refuse
You Made Me Come Alive And See My Face
See My Grace
And We Grow Or Do We Just Haul It Around?

Running On Empty Jackson Browne

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned onto the road I'm on

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave

Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes I see them running too

Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind

Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running into the sun but I'm running behind

Fear Before The March of Flames - On the Bright Side, She Could Choke


As he's dying in his dreams
I hope you're choking in your sleep,
Try and breathe,
Justice pushes pillow,
Try and breathe,
Try and breathe.

(My sweet,
I wish you the best,
And that you'll sleep,
I'm dragging you down into my dreams,
Lay your head down
Try and rest.)

You left him sweating summer nights,
Face down,
A foreplay with the streets,
A salt to garnish his wounds,
And you'll just dance your way home,
Paint your walls with his insides,
And hang his life above your bed,
Paint your walls with his inside,
And try to sleep now.

As he's dying in his dreams
I hope you're choking in your sleep
Try and breathe,
Justice pushes pillow,
Try and breathe,
Try and breathe.

(My sweet,
I wish you the best,
And that you'll sleep,
I'm dragging you down into my dreams,
Lay your head down,
Try and rest.)

I bet you love this, don't you?
I bet you love this, don't you?
Know that you love this,
Now peel back his skin, dear,
Peel back his skin,
And I'll just smile,
But he's only smiling to deny the pain,
He's only smiling,
And I bet you love this, don't you
I bet you love this, don't you
I bet you love this, don't you?
I bet you.

(My sweet,
I wish you the best,
And that you'll sleep,
I'm dragging you down into my dreams,
Lay your head down,
Try to.)

Death Cab for Cutie - Amputations

If we seem nutty to you, and if we seem like an oddball to you,
just remember one thing: the mighty oak tree was once a nut like me.

And if it was just how you wanted
You'd be glued to his bones and his brainstem
And changing your image and attitudes
Won't bring you back into your bedroom
Amputating as he's waiting
He's unresponsive 'cause you're irresponsible
Little swinger your bottle is thinking too much
'cause you're aiming to please way off target
And i'll tell you what you must already know
Of amputating that too slow

Leningrad Cowboys - Leningrad

So long, so very long, so long since I've seen my hometown
I'm coming home. Now I'm coming home.
I'm coming home. To the place I call my own.
You're in my soul. I can't explain how much you mean to me.
Long years, long trying years, away from home. I
n a foreign country. So strange, so very strange, it feels so strange.
To be back here again., Can't wait to see
what happened to my friends, my family.
Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg.
What's going on? Where are all the friend I had.
It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong.
Give me back, give me back my Leningrad.
No one, I blame no one, it's no ones fault. That the times have changed.
Go on, Oh life goes on, I'll carry on.
And turn a new page. Can't wait to see what's my fate, what's my destiny.
Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg.
What's going on? Where are all the friend I had.
It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong.
Give me back, give me back my Leningrad.

Broken Social Scene - Almost Crimes

You're like a messiah, pal
Little kingdoms in your chest

I told you we'd make it, on for another
I told you we'd make it, on for all night (Put on all our best)

This is how they will live on
We'd looked better if we win

I told you we'd make it on for another (Oh I've been getting calls now out here)
I told you we'd make it on for another (On their mouths and chest)

Help this love before you leave
Demonstrations lack caress

I want you to take you, call on for life (Thank you for creating souls...)
The longer we make this, got no way there (Children sleep with dicks)

Your calls keep me up all night
Complication sees your best

Told you, I want it here longer for you (I've been getting calls now out here)
I waited, I waited, it's late night, she's waiting at home (On their mouths and chest)

We've got love and hate it's the only way
We've got love and hate it's the only way

I think it's almost crimes
I think it's almost crimes
I think it's almost crimes
I think it's almost time

DC Talk - Jesus is Just Alright!

Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright with me
Jesus is still alright

Toby mac, and the mac is back no slack
On a dc track that’s jacked, beyond comprehension
I believe that I failed to mention that
There’s a lack of recognition
When it comes to his position
Cause if christ can’t be crossed over,
Then I’ll keep my beat up nova

I don’t care what they may say
I don’t care what they may do
I don’t care what they may say
Jesus is still alright

Back in place, and I’m all up in your face
With a rhyme that I embrace, like a mother to her child
I’m kickin’ it jesus style
To the ones that think they heard
I did use the j word
Cause I ain’t too soft to say it
Even if dj’s don’t play it

Do do do dupe dupem dupe dopem do
Jesus is still alright
[oh, I’m hopin’ and I’m praying]

Jesus is still alright
Jesus still alright, oh yeah
Jesus is still alright
Jesus is still alright
[oh yeah]

(breakdown)
Jesus is alright, I know he’s alright
Jesus is alright, you know he’s alright
Jesus is alright, we know he’s alright
Jesus is alright, we know he’s alright

[now we come to the pay off]

I’m down with the one that is known as the son
Of the g to the o to the d never done
With the flow, in the know, on the go like a pro
Not for show cause I ain’t in the biz for the dough
Or the me, or the ray, all the dough’s gotta stay,
Cause I can’t, no I can’t, take it home anyway
Never trite when I write cause the lord is my light
And his word is my bond so ya know, he’s alright

The Fall - Disney's Dream Debased

The day the dream went right back to base
There was blood on the ground
Blood on the sand
Blood all around
Tracks of the ride of the bright murder hawk
The day the dream debased and went home
And the people did mill to those adrenaline rails
And everything stopped

The nurses climbed up
Our face paled
And there was no doubt at all
No two ways about it
Was the day Disney's dream debased

Saw a mouse, who flapped at my wife
And she told him what
And she told him what had gone down
Who then did not know the extent of the show
The people had died in the mouth of their ride

Disney

And Dopey and Mickey, Brer and Pluto
Secretly prayed
And there was no doubt at all
No two ways about it
Was the day Disney's dream debased

Disney

Dark glasses on Western Union
Man the gates
The dream, an innocent meets her fate
Far away from Appalachia and the city hate
The day X3

When there was no doubt at all
No maybe about it
It was the day the dream debased

Disney

I remembered it from
The back of my mind
The tune that I wrote
In fallen dreams
Anthem to
Creator of all that had stopped

So there was no doubt at all
No two ways about it
It was the day the dream debased

 

[Escape Goat]

Growing Pains!

Show me that smile again. (Ooooh, show me that smile)
Don’t waste another minute on your cryin’.
We're nowhere near the end (nowhere near)
The best is ready to begin.

Oooohhh. As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands.
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin’.

As long as we keep on givin’
we can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine, all the time
We got each other Sharin’ the laughter and love (sharin' the laughter and love.)

Super Furry Animals -- Hermann Loves Pauline

Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann
They made love and gave birth to a little German
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)
They call him MC² because he raps like no other
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)
An asthma sufferer like Ernesto Guevara
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)

Too much Monte Cristo Number Four
(Hermann and Pauline)
Pass the ventolin I need some more
(They had a daughter too)
We have ways of making you think
We have ways of making you think
(Than to be just a two point)
We have ways of making you think
(Four family)
We have ways of making you think
(Insanity)
We have ways of making you think
(Personality, ahaha)
They told me over a drink

They never noticed him at school they tell me
He kept himself to himself
He used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed him at school they tell me
He suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window
Feeling under

Why do you do what they tell you?

Marie Curie was Polish born but French bred, ha! French bread!
Of course she ended up dead from radiation
Slow invisible suffocation
Down the twenty-four hour garage or any service station
I lead my life in a quest for information
Sensurrounded by pies and books
Middle-aged drivers and deranged cooks

They never noticed her at school they tell me
She kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed her at school they tell me
She suffered poor health
She used to vacantly stare out the window
Feeling under

Why do you do what they tell you?

They never noticed her at school they tell me
She kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed him at school they tell me
He suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window
Feeling under

King Missle - Jesus Was Way Cool

Jesus was way cool
Everybody liked Jesus
Everybody wanted to hang out with him
Anything he wanted to do, he did
He turned water into wine
And if he wanted to
He could have turned wheat into marijuana
Or sugar into cocaine
Or vitamin pills into amphetamines

He walked on the water
And swam on the land
He would tell these stories
And people would listen
He was really cool

If you were blind or lame
You just went to Jesus
And he would put his hands on you
And you would be healed
That's so cool

He could've played guitar better than Hendrix
He could've told the future
He could've baked the most delicious cake in the world
He could've scored more goals than Wayne Gretzky
He could've danced better than Barishnikov
Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of
Jesus was way cool

He told people to eat his body and drink his blood
That's so cool
Jesus was so cool
But then some people got jealous of how cool he was
So they killed him
But then he rose from the dead
He rose from the dead, danced around
Then went up to heaven
I mean, that's so cool
Jesus was way cool

No wonder there are so many Christians

My Dying Bride - The Isis Script

You know they lied.
To us they lied.
Remember them?
The final words.
All these years.
All these fears.
Remember them?
Ancient words.

We'll take it from you when we like.
You will suffer for nothing in your own home.

Will you hlep me fight them off?
They are killing me.
Help me with my broken heart.
The endless dark.
Will you keep them far from me?
Oh, the misery.
I need a friend to lay upon.
To be my sun.
Oh, lord help me with my pain.
I'm dead again.

Beliefs have taken me to my end.
Beliefs have taken me down again.
The words I have followed, took me down again.
The lies that I have read over again.
Leaves are falling words from the earth.
Spoken in silence. Never heard.

My Chemical Romance - It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish


For what you did to me,
and what I'll do to you,
you get, what everyone else gets,
you get a lifetime!

Lets Go!

Do you remember that day when we met
you told me this gets harder
well it did!
been holding on forever,
promise me that when i'm gone you'll kill my enemies,
the damage you've inflicted temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the dead and i'll take you home with me
i'm taking back the life you stole

we never got that far,
this helps me to think all through the night
bright lights that, wont kill me now, or tell me how
just you and I your starless eyes remain.

Hip Hip Hooray for me, you talk to me, but would you kill me in my sleep
lay still like the dead
from the razor to the rosary
we could lose ourselves
and paint these walls in pitchfork red

I will avenge my ghost with every breath i take
i'm coming back from the dead and ill take you home with me
i'm taking back the life you stole

this hole that you put me in
wasn't deep enough
and i'm climbing out right now
your running out of places to hide from me
when you go
just know the i will remember you
if living was the hardest part
we'll then one day be together
and in the end we'll fall apart
just as the leaves changing colors
and then i will be with you
i will be there one last time now

when you go
just know that i will remember you

i lost my fear of falling
i will be with you
i will be with you

 

[Pattergen]

My two weeks on the eastern hillside
Washed the grime away
The other fifty layered on
And I will sleep under constellations
Double stars of information
Coyotes singing-howls away
But it's a lost connection
So this time I'll never leave

Gonna stay on ellis mountain
Count the pine trees
Nail and hammer I have home
Overtime, unforgiven
Pipe fitting, its not living
Let the city have it all

With my hands
I've built epic structures
With my hands, My hands
Promise lands suffocate in steel and mortar
With my hands, My hands
Cause it's a lost connection
So this time I'll never leave

Wash the grime away
Wash the grime away

Cause it's a lost connection
So this time I'll never leave

 

[Lambtron]

Part I
Here upon this pillow
Made of reed and willow
You're a fickle little twister
Are you sweet on your sister?
Your fallow won't leave you alone.

And granted for their pleasure
Possessions laid to measure
She's a salty little pisser
With your cock in her kisser
But now she's a will of her own.

Part II
Damn your ankles and eyes wide
From your Fingernails to your Ponytails too.
King of the Insects and the M-5
Over Charlemagne in a motorcade too.

And baby needs a new prize
Baby needs a new and shiny prize.

In this place called Heavenly
You were born here.
This place called Heavenly
You were born here.
You were born here.

And now all the marchers descend from high
I will dedicate all of my awakenings to this.

And damn all the angles that oppress my sight
I will bleed your heart through a samovar soon.

In this place called Heavenly
You were born here.
This place called Heavenly
You were born here.
You were born here.

Part III
They settled dust in your hair
To watch you shake and shout it out
With our armaments bared
We shed our bags and travel alls.

From the lee of the wall
He comes in chain and chariot
And all his eunuchs in thrall
Can scarce lift his line and lariat.

Here come loose the hounds
To blow me down.
Blow me down.
On this stretch of ground
I?ll lay me down.
Lay me down.
To Sleep.

And now stricken with pangs
That tear at our backs like thistledown
The mirror's soft silver tain
Reflects our last birthing hour.

Here come loose the hounds to blow me down
Blow me down.
On this stretch of ground
I?ll lay me down
Lay me down.
To Sleep.

Part IV
O the Wind is blowing, it hurts your skin
As you climb up hillside, forest and fen.

Your arms full of lullabies, orchids and wine
Your memories wrapped within paper and twine.

The room that you lie in is dusty and hard
Sleeping soft Babies on piles of yards
Of gingham, taffeta, cotton and silk
Your dry hungry mouths cry for your mother's milk.

When the dawn comes to greet you, you'll rise with clothes on
And advance with the others, singing old songs
Of cattle and maidens and withered old queens.
Let the music carry you on.

The room that you lie in is dusty and hard
Sleeping soft Babies on piles of yards
Of gingham, taffeta, cotton and silk
Your dry hungry mouths cry for your mother?s milk.

Part V
Darling dear, what have you done?
Your clothes are torn, your makeup runs.

I ran through brambles, blooming thistle
I washed my face in the river when you whistled me on.

Darling dear, what have you done?
Your hands and face are smeared with blood.

The chaplain came and called me out
To beat and to butcher his mother?s sow.

But darling dear, they found him dead
This morning by the riverbed.

But hush now darling, don't you cry.
Your reward's in the sweet by-and-by.
Hush now baby, don't you cry.
Your reward's in the sweet by-and-by.

And now we've seen your powers
Softly stretch the hours
You're a fickle little twister
Are you sweet on your sister?
As now you go wandering home.

I want to have your manbabies, Colin Miloy. <3

FETT'S VETTE

cruisin mos espa in my delorian
war's over I'm a peacetime madalorian
my story has stumped star wars historians
deep in deabte buffet plate at bennigans
rhyme renegade sure to penetrate
first and second defense I won't hesitate
got a job to do darth's the guy that delegates
got something against skywalker someone he really hates
I don't give a fuck I'm after solo
For all I care he could be hiding at yoda's dojo
Got make the money credit's no good
When the jawas run the shop in your neighborhood
Think you can cook I got a grappling hook
Let's make this quick cuz I'm really booked
I'm a devious degenerate, defender of the devil
Shut down all the trash compactor's on the detention level

chorus
My backpack's got jets
I'm boba the fett
I bounty hunt for jaba hut
To finance my vette
I chill in deep space
A mask is over my face
I deliver the prize but I still narrow my eyes
Cuz my time I don't like to waste.
Get down

I'm a question wrapped inside an enigma
Get inside the slave one find your homing signal
From endor to hoth, ripley to spock
I'll find what you want, but there's gonna be a cost
Say my name is boba fett I know my shit is tight
Start not acting in right, you're frozen in carbonite
Got telescopic sight, flame throwers on my wrist
You still don't get the jist, spiked boots are made to kick
Targets are made to hit, you think I give a shit
Yer mama is a bitch, I see you in the sarlaac pit
You just flipped my switch integrity been dissed
You scratchin on my itch you know I shoot the gift
Got bambinas at cantinas waitin to lick my lusty lips
So I'll let you get back inside you're little space ship
Give you a head start, cuz I'm the sportin kind
Consider the starting line the sneaky smile I hide inside
Hope you have hyper drive, pray to stay alive
Don't try to slip me a five cuz I never take a bribe
To the beat of a different drummer, bad ass bounty hunter
Let no man put asunder or else they be put under
As in six feet, got an imperial fleet
Backin me up gonna blow up any attempt to defeat
They gotta death star, got four payments on my car
Hand it over to hammer head at mos eisley bar
He used to carjack, now he's a barback
Just goes to show how you can get back on the right track
As for me that's not an option can't say that with more clarity
Me going legit would be jar jar in speech therapy

chorus

Slice you open like a tan tan, faster than the autobahn
Or a motorbike in tron, do the deed and then I'm gone
Jaba has a hissyfit, contact calrissian
Over a colt, the paln unfolds, no politic is legit
Back in the day when I was a slave
Living live in the fast lane like in a pod race
My mean streak tweeked I became a basket case
So this space ace split that place poste haste
Took up a noble cause called the clone wars
Cuz life's not all about girls and cars
Getting fucked up in fucked up bars
See I'm not a retard or gay like de barge
I'm large and in charge with a face so scarred
A cold black heart that's been torn apart
The sith wish that they had a dick so hard
Cuz it's long long ago in a pussy far far
Call me master cuz I'm faster than pryor on fire
I no longer have to hot wire
I'm a hunter for hire with no plans to retire
And all the sucka mc's can call me sire

 

[Pattergen]

Bananaphone

why? Ughh...

 

[Pattergen]

It's a common mistake
Brilliant in most obvious ways
What did you expect
Nutured from your earliest days

You made a perfect circle
All around the world it occured
The sight of inspiration
Then again my vision was .... blurred

Maybe Sunday things will go your way
Maybe Monday you'll wake up
Got too many enemies to make
Maybe Tuesday you'll wake up
Now it's Wednesday again
Thursday is the worst day
So on Friday you can earn your pay
Maybe Saturday

Some say it's surrounding
Some say it's a chemical flaw
False adversting
Knee deep in the thick of it all

Your feeling impaired
Your legs won't walk right
Down the hall at the stairs
You've got a book that you need to read

Maybe Sunday things will go your way
Maybe Monday you'll wake up
Got too many enemies to make
Maybe Tuesday you'll wake up
Now it's Wednesday again
Thursday is the worst day
So on Friday you can earn your pay
Maybe Saturday

Is that what kind of person you are?
Is this what you long to be?
It takes all your time and effort
For a moment of clarity
Is that what kind of person you are?
Is this what you long to be?
It takes all your time and your effort
Is this what kind of person you are?

Maybe Sunday things will go your way
Maybe Monday you'll wake up
Got too many enemies to make
Maybe Tuesday you'll wake up
Now it's Wednesday again
Thursday is the worst day
So on Friday you can earn your pay
Maybe Saturday

 

[sefskillz]

hello
meet my problems
i only miss you when i'm with you
i gotta fly car to jet around town
gone sour to the bone
gone bad to the marrow
financial situation's depleted
guess a slap in the face is what i really needed
from a strong hand to make me a man
what more could i ask?
what more could i stand?
i'm so low that i wish i was dead with a knife in my chest
and a bullet through my head
i'm so low that i wish i was dead
must i go on?
i saw all my friends today
i'm so low that i wish i was dead
gave everything away
now i'm bound only by twine and thread
just give me time
don't give me time to miss you
just give me time
don't give me time to miss you
on a short leash yet she was earthbound
so i threw her in the lost and found
now she's scaring me
i find charity with a pink trombone and a tuning key
so just ignore my footprints and just ignore the sand
my epitaph stands before me
so wear your ego to the funeral of a frightened man
saw her standing in the doorway
fadeaway and i believe in it
if i were dead
if i were dead
if i were dead she wouldn't love me anymore

LUCA TURILLI

Kings Of The Nordic Twilight

[Musica e testi: Luca Turilli]

Ille dies fastus
fastus est per lege
Per quem lege lice
licebit agi
Studia nostra nostrae
nostrae naturae re
Regula metiamur
naturae regula
Cruor signaverat
signaverat herbam
Innocentium cruor
Domine Domine
Propemodum saecul
saeculi res in un
Res in unum diem
fortuna cumulat
Quis tam animo agresti fuit ut non commoveretur?
Tu te dictis praebere me
dictis praebere memento
Luna solis lumine collustratur
Mors morte pianda est

Soon the dew of morning filled all the silent wood
And when the sunbeams kissed his face
He opened his so lucky eyes in front of him the oak
The whispers of the river the freshness of the dawn
Oh, my God, where was I...
A land where my dreams rule
Where hopes of victory become reality for every man
That hardly raised the steel
The fight for peace of reign is so won once again

Warriors, battles, swords of steel and magic, tragic destinies
Glory, pride and honor for my will for justice everywhere
I can't believe what I have seen there in that fantasy world of mystery
Many warriors and kings, golden swords of steel all united for victory
I speak to you for the last time before we ride to the sun
I could survive in your proud heart 'cause you are now one of us!

WE ARE THE KINGS OF THE NORDIC TWILIGHT
WE ARE THE LORDS OF ICE AND SNOW
FOR THE GLORY WE WILL FIGHT
FOR THE PEACE WE'LL RIDE
FOR THE SKIES WE'LL REIGN TOGETHER

He felt on his knees having heared the holy words
And moved by the honor so... "oh, no lord too much for me
I still cannot believe, the chance you gave to me is so great...
I am a blessed man!"
Convinced of all the power of what true love can do
And while the whispers of the brave began to fade
He understood life wouldn't be the same,
With all emotions of today he would have found his way

Warriors, battles, swords of steel and magic, tragic destinies
Glory, pride and honor for my will for justice everywhere
I can't believe what I have seen there in that fantasy world of mystery
Many warriors and kings, golden swords of steel all united for victory
And at last also I know truly what love can do
So try to live at your best and ride from the sun to the moon

WE ARE THE KINGS OF THE NORDIC TWILIGHT
WE ARE THE LORDS OF ICE AND SNOW
FOR THE GLORY WE WILL FIGHT
FOR THE PEACE WE'LL RIDE
FOR THE SKIES WE'LL REIGN TOGETHER

"... and finally the silent woods of Valdaran greet the fierce battalion.
Victory rides in the heart of all nature... and light and shadows play all over the land
Before the lord of twilight gives the knights a deserved rest..."
But not too long, my friends, because evil is riding now
Along the border between earth and Hell
May now your kingdom prevail!

I speak to you for the last time before we ride to the sun
I could survive in your proud heart 'cause you are now one of us!
And at last also I know truly what love can do
So try to live at your best and ride from the sun to the moon

WE ARE THE KINGS OF THE NORDIC TWILIGHT
WE ARE THE LORDS OF ICE AND SNOW
FOR THE GLORY WE WILL FIGHT
FOR THE PEACE WE'LL RIDE
FOR THE SKIES WE'LL REIGN TOGETHER

Cruor signaverat
signaverat herbam
Innocentium cruor
Domine Domine
Propemodum saecul
saeculi res in un
Res in unum diem
fortuna cumulat
Quis tam animo agresti fuit ut non commoveretur?

Domine, Domine
Gloria perpetua
Raise high your steel friends
because evil is riding now
Along the border between earth and Hell...
May now your kingdom prevail!

Just curious, do people who post lyrics in these threads actually read the other lyrics?

 

[demon]

I'm looking for the tower of learning
I'm looking for the copious prize
I saw it in your eyes what I'm looking for
I saw it in your eyes what I'm looking for

I really do fear that I'm dying
I really do fear that I'm dead
I saw it in your eyes what I'm looking for
I saw it in your eyes what will make me live

All the sights of Paris
Pale inside your iris
Tip the Eiffel Tower with one glance
Stained glass cathedrals with one glint

You smashed it with your eyes
What I'm looking for
One blink and then my heart wasn't there no more

I'm looking for the tower of learning
I'm looking for the copious prize

 

[Pattergen]

Hello tomorrow and good-bye to yesterday
We've been waiting for this moment

And we still don't know what to say
We may never find the answers or know the reason why
Why we both decided we should say good-bye
Nothing but good things are coming my way
If you are going please let me stay
You bring me down when I'm getting high
You turn me on I amplify
1 -2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I won't bleed like this forever
I'm down to ride but my wings are severed
Blindside blitz- evacuation
I'm stuck in hell your on vacation
1-2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I'm still waiting for tomorrow
Tired of living in yesterday
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day I'd be over you
Oceans, devotions, these notions run dry
Floating away and I don't know why
Spend all my days in a bottle thinking
You're like an anchor got me sinking
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)
Say good-bye now and mean it forever
Got to move on and keep it together
Forget the things that you've said and you've done
That's in the past, here comes the sun
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)

Just curious, do people who post lyrics in these threads actually read the other lyrics?

Yeah, I do. I really enjoy these threads.

Here's one I couldn't pass up:

EDGUY
Lavatory Love Machine

[Music & words: Tobias Sammet]

Oh if only Brazil was not so far
Far away I would swim or walk or ride
But never ever fly
But all the noise of the maniacs there
The seat on my face it's worth to bear
But I don't wanna bounce and die

But then I see a lady in a tight blue dress
I close my eyes, I know what I would go for
Stewardess before the crash

Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream

I'm at you disposal
I gotta get up to see what you ain't gotta hide
Wheeling junk along the aisle
Keep your seat belt fastened
You're whipping with an iron voice
You command
Uh mistress I am in your hands

And when she asks me what I'd like to eat
I realise the domina feels the same
And I reply... What about your pie?

Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream

Lavatory love machine
No broken wings to stop me stream
Lavatory love machine
Honey do you like the way I cream?!

Now if I gotta die
I'll have been stiff and smiling till the crash
Let them know I've been alive
Till I made my final splash

Lavatory love machine
No fear can quell my steam
Lavatory live machine
No cabin fire burn my dream

Don't hear those scary noises
From the turbine when you scream

 

[impirius]

Hail to the Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Braves on the Warpath!
Fight for old D.C.!
Run or pass and score -- we want a lot more!
Beat 'em, Swamp 'em, Touchdown! -- Let the points soar!
Fight on, fight on 'Til you have won
Sons of Wash-ing-ton. Rah!, Rah!, Rah!

Hail to the Redskins!
Hail Victory!
Braves on the Warpath!
Fight for old D.C.!

"Cathedrals" by Jump, Little Children

In the shadows of tall buildings
Of fallen angels on the ceilings
Oily feathers in bronze and concrete
Faded colors, pieces left incomplete
The line moves slowly past the electric fence
Across the borders between continents

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

In the shadows of tall buildings
The architecture is slowly peeling
Marble statues and glass dividers
Someone is watching all of the outsiders
The line moves slowly through the numbered gate
Past the mosaic of the head of state

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

In the shadows of tall buildings
Of open arches endlessly kneeling
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
Someone is listening from a safe distance
The line moves slowly into a fading light
A final moment in the dead of night

In the cathedrals of New York and Rome
There is a feeling that you should just go home
And spend a lifetime finding out just where that is

 

[way more]

Since Pattergen actually reads these, here you go

Elliot Smith - 2:45 Am

I'm going out sleepwalking
where mute memories start talking
the boss that couldn't help but hurt you
and the pretty thing he made desert you

I'm going out now like a baby
a naïve unsatisfiable baby
grabbing onto whatever's around
for the soaring high or the crushing down
with hidden cracks that don't show
but that constantly just grow

I'm looking for the man that attacked me
while everybody was laughing at me
you beat it in me that part of you
but I'm gonna split us back in two
tired of living in a cloud
if you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud

it's 2:45 in the morning
and I'm putting myself on warning
for waking up in an unknown place
with a recollection you've half erased
looking for somebody's arms to
wave away past harms

I'm walking out on center circle
the both of you can just fade to black
I'm walking out on center circle
been pushed away and I'll never go back

 

[Pattergen]

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change,
Keep on thinking things will always be the same.
But when we leave this year we won't be comming back,
no more hanging out cuz were on a different track
and if you, got something that ya need to say,
you better say it right now cuz you dont have another day
Cuz we're moving on and we cant slow down
these memories are playing like a film without sound
and I keep thinking of that night in June,
I didnt know much of love but it came too soon.
And there was me and you and we got real blue,
stay at home talking on the telephone, with me, we'd
get so excited and we'd get so scared,
laughing at ourselfs thinking lifes not fair...
And this is how it feels...
CHORUS
As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
From whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever...
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money,
when we look back now will that joke still be funny?,
will we still remember everything we learned in schoool,
still be trying to break every single rule?
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye,
Keep on thinkin its a time to fly,
And this is how it feels...
CHORUS
la, la, la, la... yeah, yeah ... la, la, la, la
We will still be,
Friends Forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow? (somehow)
I guess I thought that this would never end,
AND SUDDENLY IT'S LIKE WE'RE WOMEN AND MEN
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Or will these memories fade when I leave this town?,
I keep, I keep thinking that its not goodbye
Keep on thinking its a time to fly...

*comic relief*


hahahahahahaha

 

[sefskillz]

Yeah, I do. I really enjoy these threads.

i had to follow your self lyrics up with some of my own

 

[Quadrophenic]

I ussually don't read the lyrics, but I do check to see which songs people post.

 

[Loki]

Bed of Roses-- Bon Jovi


Sitting here wasted and wounded
at this old piano
Trying hard to capture
the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think she's still in my bed...
As I dream about movies
they won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love, the truth, and
what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonight I'd sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
Each step that I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
baby, blind love is true

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well this hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
and I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely--
I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses



Just an unbelievable song imo-- one of the best semi-slow-rock ballads ever.
