Title: Song Lyrics Thread
Post by: NHSparky on March 04, 2008, 08:05:27 PM

Post some obscure (or not so obscure) song lyrics here.

One I'm listening to this evening:

Wichita Lineman (Glen Campbell, written by Jimmy Webb)

I am a lineman for the county.
And I drive the main road.
Searchin in the sun for another overload.

I hear you singing in the wire.
I can hear you thru the whine.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.

I know I need a small vacation.
But it don't look like rain.
And if it snows that stretch down south,
won't ever stand the strain.

And I need you more than want you.
And I want you for all time.
And the Wichita Lineman,
is still on the line.

GFR - Mean Mistreater:

Mean mistreater, you make me cry,
You lay around, and watch me die.
Mean mistreater, cant you see Im real?
Are you satisfied, with the way you feel?

Ive tried hard to live without you, in so many ways.
I just cant help myself from thinking of you, for the rest of my days.
Heartache is at my door step, wont leave me alone.
I just cant get used to it, now that Im on my own.

I know all about you, your childhood days,
Your mom and dad, your pretty face.
Mean mistreater, if you need me,
Im needin you to set me free.

Mmmm ...

George Strait "If You Can Do Anything Else" 

Would you like to live in Houston
Where the cowboys come to town
Or maybe Pensacola
Where the sun shines all year 'round
Or even New York City
Where the city never sleeps
I'm offering you the option
Before you get in too deep

If you can anything else,
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start,
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't,
Baby, you can stay right here

There's work up in Seattle,
If you don't mind the rain
San Diego to Savannah,
They'd all be glad you came
But life with me would always be
A roller coaster ride
You won't hurt my feelings,
Whatever you decide

If you can anything else,
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start,
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't,
Baby, you can  stay right here

This place might look real good right now,
But lookin' good don't last
But if you choose it, anyhow,
I'll give you all I have

If you can anything else,
Baby, be good to yourself
You can find a nice place, have a good life
Don't worry 'bout me, I'm gonna be alright
You can make a new start,
You can see yourself clear
If you can do anything else, do it
But if you can't,
Baby, you can  stay right here


I have his 22 more hits cd, and this has become one of my favorite songs of his. :)  (And not just because Savannah gets mentioned. LOL )

Sappy song. :-)

Betcha By Golly Wow
( The Stylistics )

There's a spark of magic in your eyes
Candyland appears each time you smile
Never thought that fairy tales came true
But they come true when I'm near you
You're a genie in disguise
Full of wonder and surprise

And betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong

If I could I'd catch a falling star
To shine on you so I'll know where you are
Order rainbows in your favorite shade
To show I love you, thinking of you
Write your name across the sky
Anything you ask I'll try

'Cause betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong

[break]

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong

Betcha by golly, wow
You're the one that I've been waiting for forever
And ever will my love for you keep growin' strong
Keep growin' strong
Betcha by golly, wow

Invisible Sun Lyrics
 Â» The Police
(Sting)
(One, two, three, four, five, six
Oh oh oh oh oh oh)

I don't want to spend the rest of my life
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite
I don't want to spend the rest of my days
Keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say
I don't want to spend my time in hell
Looking at the walls of a prison cell
I don't ever want to play the part
Of a statistic on a government chart

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with me head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

And they're only going to change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
They would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet

There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done

(Oh oh oh oh oh oh...)

Sabaton - Counterstrike


Kickstart fighter launch
Throttle set to full
Speed king race to win
Afterburners roaring

Ghostlike counterstrike
Takes them by surprise

Score 307
Israelis rule the heaven

Jordan attacks Israel crush that
Futile attempt
Control Jerusalem

Drive back surprise attack
Take the western wall
Next day make them pay
Over river Jordan

Syria last in line
Head for golan heights
Strike without a warning
See the Syria forces falling

Syria attacked Israel crushed their
Lines of defence
Ruling golan heights

6 days of fire 1 day of rest
June 67 taught them respect
Control Jerusalem

3 nations fallen in 6 days of war
Traitorous neighbours
Received as deserved
Under the sun in the dust of the war
1 nation standing stronger than before

First into Egypt and
Sent them to hell
Then returned their forces to Jordan
Climb up the mountains
Where Syria awaits
Break them in hours
Protect holy land

Birdhouse In Your Soul
by They Might Be Giants

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary by the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your
Not to but too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
from my electrical well
it's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filabuster vigilently
My name is blue canary
One note spelt l-i-t-e
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette
It doesn't rest

Blue Canary by the outlet by the lightswitch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
not to put too fine a point on it
say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
I'm a little glowing friend
But really, I'm not actually your friend
But I am

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
While I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Blue bird of friendliness
Like guardian angles
It's always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the lightswitch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

And while your at it
Leave the nightlight on
Inside the birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

Angels
Within Temptation

Sparkling angel I believe
You were my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember

The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give the reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.

The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

Building a Mystery
Sarah McLaughlin

You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful ****ed up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Ooh you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You're building a mystery

She does an acoustic version of this that is just awesome...

Positively 4th Street

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

(Bob Dylan)

The Band, "Shape I'm In"


 Go out yonder,   peace in the valley
 Come downtown, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Has anybody seen my lady
This living alone will drive me crazy
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

 I'm gonna go down by the water
 But I ain't gonna jump in, no, no
 I'll just be looking for my maker
 And I hear that that's where she's been? Oh!

Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Now, how in the world do you get to Heaven
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I just spent 60 days in the jailhouse
For the crime of having no dough
Now here I am back out on the street
For the crime of having nowhere to go

Save your neck or save your brother
Looks like it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Now two young kids might start a ruckus
You know they feel you trying to shuck us
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

SHE WANTS REVENGE LYRICS

"Black Liner Run"

Run run run would you wear that black liner baby

Run run run
Run run run

I read your every entry
I read your secrets and didn’t sleep
They say you’ll never let me see your face
Wish me luck then laugh at this sad case

My friend is on the phone
Whining crash lights
Says you can stay at mine
Pleasant dreams sleep night light
An anime with perfect lacerations
He don’t wanna see
It’s becoming a fixation

She never leaves her home but she’s real sweet
Got her own style, leaves the windows real wide
Crosses her fingers after so many years
Mascara runs through the tracks of her tears

Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(Still it’s nice to wish)
Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(If he understands)
Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(This could never be)
Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(Still he’s making plans)

I caught a death when I signed on
I saw your pictures and couldn’t eat
I swear you were sent here just to tease
And you smiled back in between asterisks
My heart is on my sleeve when I write you
These incidents lead to dead ends
Surely they excite you
Or did you know?
Is it your typing blindly
Choose a public place darling
Won’t you let me find thee

He leaves cats eyes after poems
So she knows who he’s speaking
When she’s reading it alone
She’s waited eagerly but will she embrace
In bloodied hands
Her new lovers face

Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(Still it’s nice to wish)
Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(If he understands)
Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(This could never be)
Run run run would you wear that black liner baby
(Still he’s making plans)

Run run run would you wear that black liner baby

Run run run
Run run run

Meri Wilson's "Telephone Man"

Quote

I went to my apartment on a Monday at one
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky bum, shicky bum
Started movin' in it on a Tuesday at two
A-singin' do lolly, lolly shicky do, shicky do
Wednesday at three I called the phone company, singin':
"Hey baby, put a phone in for me"
Thursday at four he came a-knockin' at my door, singin':

"Hey, baby, I'm your telephone man
You just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can
I can put it in the bedroom, I can put it in the hall
I can put it in the bathroom, I can hang it on the wall
You can have it with a buzz, you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it you can have a ding-a-ling
Because-a hey baby, I'm your telephone man"

Can you believe that? And then he says:

"Now when other fellas call ya tell 'em how it all began"

Well...can you imagine?

My heart began a-thumpin' and my mind began to fly
And I knew I wasn't dealin' with no ordinary guy
So while he was a-talking I was thinkin' up my plan
Then my fingers did the walkin' on the telephone man

Singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Get it any way you can
Right? Ha ha ha, so...

I got it in the bedroom, and I got it in the hall
And I got it in the bathroom, and he hung it on the wall
I got it with a buzz, and I got it with a ring
And when he told me what my number was I got a ding-a-ling

A-singin' hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Hey lolly, lolly
Just-a doin' my thing

Ha, ha...I've never done anything like this before!

First attempt at a comeback by Vanilla Ice. :rotf:

But the rock album he made was pretty good.  I liked the rock remix of Ice, Ice Baby.

Quote

Roll 'Em Up
By: Vanilla Ice

Roll 'em up roll up the hooty mac, rollem up
Rol 'em up, rollem up rollem up.....

I need some herbs and spices,
So I can feel nices,
The breeze, coolin like a summertree.
Cuz it's the I-C-E and you know I got the feel it.
I score it, and I ain't gotta steal it.
So brang on the sack that's phat,
Ya know
I love my is izm and the 1.5,
Cuz I get 'em.
Everytime I get a little hit of tha hummm
The skunk, and the funk feels good to my lungs.
Fire, fire, the izm is my desire,
And I need to get it quick cause it's callin me.
Come and roll me up please I-C-E,
Light the hooty mac, so we can start the par-ty.
You know I smoke good stuff, so go and get the bong,
Gong - diddlee bong, once again you know it's on - huh,
You feel it, you feel it, you want it, you want it
Roll it, roll it, lick it - now hit it.

You see everytime I wake up, I got to clear my head,
But I clear it with ?ess, cause it goes with my dreds.
And I can't stand to run out, cause if you do I get illy,
Never get silly, so pass me the philly.
Blunt, and no I dn't front like Zero,
Who wears a chronic hat but always says no,
But I say yes, and I get it off my chest.
Bring the bo, bring the skunk, and I hit the phunky ?ess,
Check it, you ain't gotta test it,
It's the mad bomb and I've already blessed it.
Checka 1-2, and tell me how ya do,
When you hear the dirty budda when the buzz comes through.
I ain't tryin to front, cause I'm gettin' what I want.
Take a chunk of phunk, leave the sack in my trunk.
Yeh, you feel it, you feel it, you want it, you want it
Roll it, roll it, lick it - now hit it.

Roll 'em up the hooty mac, that what I said
Now tell me how you feelin'.
Don't it feel good enought to jump and touch the ceiling.
It's on, It's on, I feel it comin on.
It's good to the bone, cause the buzz is real strong.
Even though I can not stand it, but I recomment it,
Especially when ya sick with that cold, so spend it.
You know that twenty dollars that yo've saved
Throughout the week,
If you're a non smoker, then please don't try to speak.
The plan, the plan ya know I've got a plan,
Squirrels go thte goods, now tell me whos the man.
But not really the man that you call when you want it,
Ya know I stay legit, and I've got to stay up on it.
On and On You geve me a Ho....
And what I want to do, then I'll let you know.
You feel it, you feel it, you want it, you want it
Roll it, roll it, lick it - now hit it.

Duran Duran Sound of Thunder

Been in this grass here for the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isnt dry
How does it happen, does it fly through the air
Oh, I gave up asking days away

And now Im lying here waiting for the sound of thunder

Here I am, Im the dotted line
Cut the corners stick me to your door
Im the man who stepped off the path
And I just lie here
Its what I was made for

And now my eyes are closing but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand

The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off
The world spins so fast
That I might fly off

Im waiting for the sound of thunder

"Home"  Michael Buble


Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home



Sometimes I do think about going back home to Atlanta, but I know I have a job to do here in Savannah...get that degree.

Sabaton - Light In The Black

Sent into battle to aid strangers in need
Gain independence, our forces will lead
Final solution when all others have failed
Liberation is coming our path has been laid

We remember the fields, where our tanks held the line
We remember our brothers in arms

when the war, has been won
and our march home begins
What awaits has not yet been revealed
what was won? what whas lost?
will our deeds be remembered?
Are they written on stone or in sand?

Marching ashore, our target awaits
Facing resistance, forces driven by hate
Protecting civilians, while fired upon
Rules of engagement, our restrictions are gone

We remember the sea, where our ships broke the waves
We remember our brothers in arms

when the war, has been won
and our march home begins
What awaits has not yet been revealed
what was won? what whas lost?
will our deeds be remembered?
Are they written on stone or in sand?

leaving home, set to sea
was this really meant to be?
see the shore of our home fade away
facing blood, facing pain
have our brothers died in vain?
many lives has been lost on the way

when the war, has been won
and our march home begins
What awaits has not yet been revealed
what was won? what whas lost?
will our deeds be remembered?
Are they written on stone or in sand?

The Kingsmen (1955)

Louie Louie Lyrics


CHORUS:

Louie Louie, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
Louie Louie, oh baby
Me gotta go

Fine little girl waits for me
Catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship about, all alone
Never know if I make it home

CHORUS

Three nights and days I sail the sea
Think of girl, constantly
On that ship, I dream she's there
I smell the rose in her hair.

CHORUS

Okay, let's give it to 'em, right now!

GUITAR SOLO

See Jamaica, the moon above
It won't be long, me see me love
Take her in my arms again
Tell her I'll never leave again

CHORUS

Let's take it on outa here now
Let's go!!

Saxon - Ministry Of Fools

Your talking on the TV every single day
Making stupid gestures nothing much to say
Deny responsibility find someone to blame
When it comes right down to it
You're all the ****ing same

We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening to the ministry of fools

We listen to your promises they're just a pack of lies
Maneuvering your followers to draw the battle lines
You don't admit to anything you think you'll never fall
But come the revolution you'll be first against the wall

We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do
We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening to the ministry of fools

Your talking on the TV every single day
Making stupid gestures nothing much to say
We listen to your promises they're just a pack of lies
Maneuvering your followers you draw your battle lines

We're not listening, listening to you
We're not listening, don't tell me what to do
We're not listening, listening to you

Its been awhile-Staind
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As ****ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and ****ed things
up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to
disappear when I'm with you


And everything I can't remember
As ****ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and ****ed things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the
candle lights your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember
just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As ****ed up as it all may seem
to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Social Distortion Ball and Chain Lyrics
Well it's been ten years, and a thousand tears
And look at the mess I'm in-
A broken nose and a broken heart,
An empty bottle of gin
Well I sit and I pray
In my broken down Chevrolet-
While I'm singin' to myself
There's got to be another way
chorus:
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I've searched and I've searched
To find the perfect life-
A brand new car and a brand new suit
I even got me a little wife-
But wherever I have gone
I was sure to find myself there-
You can run all your life
But not go anywhere
chorus:
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
I'm sick and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
Well I'll pass the bar on the way
To my dingy hotel room-
I spent all my money
Been drinkin' since a half past noon-
I'll wake there in the mornin'
Or maybe in the county jail-
Times are hard getting harder
I'm born to lose and destined to fail-
chorus:
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain
I'm lonely and I'm tired
And I can't take any more pain
Take away, take away
Never to return again
Take away, take away
Take away this ball and chain

I hadn't heard this song in about 15 years until yesterday.  I bought the CD this morning.

Ballroom Blitz: The Sweet

Are you ready, Steve? Aha.
Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK.
Alright, fellas, let's go!

Oh it's been getting so hard
Livin' with the things you do to me, aha
Oh my dreams are getting so strange
I'd like to tell you everything I see
Oh, I see a man at the back
As a matter of fact his eyes are red as the sun
And a girl in the corner let no one ignore her
'Cause she thinks she's the passionate one

Oh, yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz

I'm reaching out for something
Touching nothing's all I ever do
Oh, I softly call you over
When you appear there's nothing left of you, aha
Now the man in the back
Is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky
And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner
She could kill you with a wink of her eye

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing

Refrain

Oh yeah, it was like lightning, everybody was frightening
And the music was soothing, and they all started grooving

Refrain

It's it's a ballroom blitz, it's it's a ballroom blitz
It's it's a ballroom blitz, yeah, it's a ballroom blitz

My favorite Red Hot Chili Peppers song for this year....

STORM IN A TEACUP

Come on come on baby
Let me show you what I'm talking about
You try to be a lady
But your walkin' like a sour kraut
Looka looka lika lika
Like you want to get some
If you never tell a lie
Then you never have to play dumb

Dirty baby time you're gonna take some
Pretty baby love you're make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some

Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitaion
Little lady what a reputation
Kinda shady now you're gonna make again

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the
Masses, dear
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Every other day you say
You're gonna have to bury 'em
Famous last words
Spoken from the laserium
Descendants had to record
Sayin' somethin' 'bout Milo
You can take the a train
But you're gonna have to lie low

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know you can battle the
Masses, dear
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Dirty baby time you're gonna take some
Pretty baby love you're make some
Little lady hearts you're gonna break some
Kinda shady tears you're gonna fake some

Dirty baby we've got a situation
Pretty baby open invitaion
Little lady what a reputation
Kinda shady now you're gonna make again

I know you can straddle
The atmosphere
A tiny storm in your teacup girl
I know we may never get
out of, here
A tiny storm in your teacup girl

Gary Allan "Life Ain't Always Beautiful"

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggle makes you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin' its  sweet time

[chorus]
No,life aint always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life aint always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life aint always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin' all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life dont work that way


But the struggles makes me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has it's own way of takin' its sweet time

No, life aint always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life aint always beautiful
But its a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride

Nocturnal Rites - Fools Never Die


Trading their lies on the TV-screen
Telling us all what to be
Act like they’re gods, egos inflated
Can’t believe you’d fail to see

Other lives on the great divide
And hungry you swallow their scheme
Small-minded fools, all so conceited
Don’t you know that they’re never quite they seem

As weird as if a dream

Another fool, one more crossing the line
Won’t believe, a mad man leads the blind
So follow your heart and hear them cry
Because fools never die

Crawl on your knees for your world to grow.
A round of applause and you go
In with the freaks, swallow our poison
Never thought you’d stoop this low

Thunderstone - Virus


All systems down, something's wrong
Unplugged and freezed to the bone
Feels like I'm locked out, helpless within
I can feel uncertainty's rising

We trust too much and we are too blue-eyed
We get careless and we will fail
And we will wake up when it's too late
Tower of power is crashing down
My life will be erased, no files will be found

Gazing the screen, feeling the power
Still walking on the thinnest ice
For the last three to five years memories been saved
Without warning everything's gone

We trust too much and we are too blue-eyed
We get careless and we will fail
And we will wake up when it's too late
Tower of power is crashing down
My life will be erased, no files will be found

There's something invisible here with us
Untouchable, spreading like rust
There's something invisible here with us
And it's teasing and tearing our minds apart
There's a virus

There will be time when I will rise again
When all the things are saved and settled down
I'll be awake and I will never fail

There's something invisible here with us
Untouchable, spreading like rust
There's something invisible here with us
And it's teasing and tearing our minds apart
There's a virus

Thunderstone - Feeding The Fire

Burn me - with your eyes of fire
Turn me - from faith to desire
Take me - across the line and through the door
Break me - make me your slave forevermore
It feels so good
TO be so bad
I'm flying ever higher
On the wings of desire
Flying too close to the wire
I'm going to take the fall
Just to Feed the Fire
Waiting - for another chance to steal your glance
Watching - you spin around like in a trance
Craving - to be close enough to feel your breath
Knowing - that this will be the kiss of death
It feels too good
To ever turn back
I'm flying ever higher...
It feels so good
To be so bad
I'm flying ever higher...

Bo Bice

"The Real Thing"

Every word I say, I mean it
Every single day, I feel it

But sometimes when you talk
It's obvious you want to show it
So don't blow it

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
There's a stillness in the air like no one else is there
And every moment stays in the moment
Yeah

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
It feels like you're taking a part of me with you
I never know how it'll be
I guess it's just a mystery
But is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin on)

[Chorus:]
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on

Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
The real thing

Staind Outside

And you
Can bring me to my knees
Yeah

All this time
That I could make you breathe
Yeah

All the times
That I felt insecure
Yeah

And I leave
A burning path of flame

(Chorus)
I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All this time
That I felt like this won’t add
Once for you

And I taste
What I could never have
It’s from you

All those times
That I tried
My intentions
Full of pride
And I waist
More time than anyone

I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I’ve cried
All that’s wasted
It’s all inside

And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It’s back again

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can’t mend

And I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
But I know

That I’m on the outside
I’m looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you’re ugly
You’re ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Sabaton - Nuclear Attack


Dropped from Enola, a city erased, threat of the future displayed
A power unheard of a power unseen
Flash out of nowhere, the sky is burning

At 8:16 AM Tokyo control realized something was wrong
Reports of explosions, destruction and pain
Air raid from hell city gone in a blaze

August in black, B-29's coming back

Prepare for nuclear attack
Warned but did not heed
Prepare for nuclear attack
Extermination
Strike back
Chose not to believe
Another nuclear attack

From the southeast came the second attack, threat of tomorrow unveiled
11:02 on the 9th of August
Over the valley, like ball lightning

The bomb detonates and the land turns to waste, barren for decades to come
The factories burning, the steelworks destroyed
Surrender your war else you'll perish in flames

Second attack, B-29's turning back.

Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive (Mister In-Between)

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between

You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

(To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark)

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me, hmm?

(Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin' of the negative
And the accent of the positive)
And gather 'round me children in you're willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right

(You've gotta accentutate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between)

You've got to spread joy (up to the maximum)
Bring gloom (down) to the minimum
Otherwise (otherwise) pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene

To illustrate (well illustrate) my last remark (you got the floor)
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say (what did they say)
Say when everything looked so dark

Man, they said we better
Accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch On to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No! Don't mess with Mister In-Between

Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Animals

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are.
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are.
And when your hand is on your heart,
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost a joker,
With your head down in the pig bin,
Saying "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin.
What do you hope to find.
When you're down in the pig mine.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are.
You ****ed up old hag, ha ha charade you are.
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass.
You're nearly a good laugh,
Almost worth a quick grin.
You like the feel of steel,
You're hot stuff with a hatpin,
And good fun with a hand gun.
You're nearly a laugh,
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Hey you, Whitehouse,
Ha ha charade you are.
You house proud town mouse,
Ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street.
You're nearly a real treat,
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?

You gotta stem the evil tide,
And keep it all on the inside.
Mary you're nearly a treat,
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.

Copperhead Road
(Steve Earle)
Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road
Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road

Got a first class white trash get away
I done two tours of duty in Afghanistan
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seeds and the Poppies from Khandar
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road
Well the D.E.A.'s got a Blackhawk in the air
they use em just like we did over there
I learned a thing or two from Haji don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road

Convoy

By Bill Fries & Chip Davis

Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon

Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon

Uh, yeah, that's a big 10-4 Pig-Pen,
Yeah, we definitely got us the front door good buddy,
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about to put the hammer on down

Cause we gotta little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck
Uh, you wanna back off them hogs
10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger
Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa-Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
An' them bears 'as wall to wall
Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear-in-the-air
I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck
We about to go a huntin' bear

Cause we gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that Pig-Pen?
Uh, negatory Pig-Pen, yer still too close
Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten

Well we rolled up interstate fourty-four
Like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all a our swindle sheets
An' left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Chi-Town
Them bears was a gittin' smart
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard
There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps
An' rigs of every size
Yeah them chicken coops 'as full a bears
An' choppers filled the skies
Well we shot the line, an' we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreusse microbus

Hey Sod Buster, listen
You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey?
Yeah, he's haulin dynamite
He needs all the help he can git

Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey Shore
An' prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge 'as lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight
I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4

Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Well mercy sakes alive good buddy

So keep the bugs off yer glass
An' the bears off yer... tail

We gone
Bye, Bye...

Sabaton - In The Name Of God

Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits you
Claim you're just, killing women and children
Fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when you're hunted
Like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear

Chosen by god or a coward insane?
Stand up and show me your face!

Suicidal, in a trance
A religious army
Fight without a uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just
Authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die, and call it gods will

Run when its time to pay, fear consequence of your action
Reappear, when you're almost forgotten
Dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and destruction
Kill your own, a response of your actions

Captured in all you lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who's gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action

Staind Outside

] So happy-Theory of a dead man- Put the bottle down, finally got somethin’ to say
Take another look around and find someone else to play
Needless to say .. That you’ve got problems
There’s no f#kin’ way .. that I’m gonna solve them
It’s never the same .. every time you slip, then you fall down, down, down

Ever wonder what I been thinkin’ about?
I been thinkin’ bout throwin’ you out

Chorus
I’m so happy about you .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I’m so happy now we’re through .. I’m fed up, so get up and get out
I was so afraid, now you’re gone away
Sent you packing, look who’s laughin’ now
I’m so happy that I feel this way
I’m so happy that I threw you away

Put your problems down and pick up what’s left of the pain
Take a good look at yourself and see who’s really to blame
Needless to say .. you got issues
There’s no f#kin’ way .. that I’m gonna fix you
[ So Happy lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]

Lyrically, my personal favorite from Staind.

Epiphany

Quote

Your words they make just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
And the words just disappear
Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said
So i speak to you in riddles
Cuz my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
Cuz i can't take anymore of this
I wanna come apart
And did myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart
Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said
I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for intention
That i always try to hide
Cuz i talk to you like children
Though i don't know how i feel
But i know i'll do the right thing
If the right thing is in fear
Cuz its always raining in my head
Forget all the things i should have said

Saxon - Terminal Velocity


Get your kicks in the edge of the sky
Twenty miles up from the borderline
Feel the rush as your body drops through the air
Take a step right into space
Take the blast right in your face
Ya tumbling down, down towards the ground

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
Terminal velocity

Adrenaline rush on a maximum high
Thirty thousand feet to the end of the line
Ya screaming down towards the world below
Push yourself out dive into air
Take a leap the devil may care
Ya ride the wind across the open sky

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
At terminal velocity

Terminal velocity

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
Terminal velocity

Get your kicks in the edge of the sky
Twenty miles up from the borderline
Feel the rush as your body drops through the air
Take a step right into space
Take the blast right in your face
Ya tumbling down, down towards the ground

Time has come, paid your dues
Take a chance, light the fuse
Step right up, stand in line
In thirty seconds time
Your at terminal velocity
At terminal velocity

Terminal velocity
Terminal velocity

Taylor Swift "Teardrops On My Guitar"  (pop country, I know, but I love the original version of the song, and not that pathetic remix that's playing on the radio more often :whatever:).

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

The Kingsmen (1955)

Louie Louie Lyrics




(I'll bet many of you didn't even think there were real lyrics)

And even fewer know the lyrics were written after it was recorded.

Great piece of trivia.

Thank you.  I just made it up.

There goes that freaking "Trust but Verify" Détente I set up...

I didn't expect you to take it seriously.  I mean - really - a song written after it was recorded?  I'm better than I thought.  :innocent:

LOL -- well, in the case of "Louie Louie" rock lore has it that no one knew what the words were.  Thus retro-lyricing would actually make sense.

Thunderstone - Eyes Of A Stranger


Eyes of a stranger are watching me
Haunting my every single move
I feel like a victim with no reason why
Still there is no fear at all
I feel you, I hear you when you're not around
Presence so powerfull confusing me
Now I am here all alone:with you.

Take a look behind and just realize
There's a stranger watching for all of us
When you think you're alone
Unprepared and so down
You might feel the eyes of a stranger

Protecting and leading my steps through the life
Guiding my way in this world of fears
Sometimes I'm lost and I'm so afraid
It's hard to find my way out by myself
I feel you, I hear you when you're not around
Presence so powerfull confusing me
Now I am here all alone:with you.

Take a look behind and just realize
There's a stranger watching for all of us
When you think you're alone
Unprepared and so down
You might feel the eyes of a stranger

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime

She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat

She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears

By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat

Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat

Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on

But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat

Everlast--What it's Like

(yeah, it's kinda lib, but it's a helluva song)

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you ****in' slob's all he replied

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like [X4]

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like [X4]
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like [X4]
To have to lose...

BTW--they're in studio making another album.  I WILL sell my house for a front-row seat for that show...

U2--Until the End of the World--Achtung Baby

Haven't seen you for quite a while
I was down the hole just passing time
Last time we met was a low-lit room
We were as close together as a bride and groom
We ate the food, we drank the wine
Everybody having a good time
Except you
You were talking about the end of the world

I took the money
I spiked your drink
You miss too much these days if you stop to think
You lead me on with those innocent eyes
You know I love the element of surprise
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...love...love...
Love...love...love...love...

In my dream I was drowning my sorrows
But my sorrows, they learned to swim
Surrounding me, going down on me
Spilling over the brim
Waves of regret, waves of joy
I reached out for the one I tried to destroy
You, you said you'd wait till the end of the world.

Thunderstone - Tool of the Devil

I'm a man without a heart, without a soul
I am here for you, if you'll play my role
Come closer if you dare, I will snow you the way
I'm pleasure and pain, I'm the night of your day
Walk through the fire with me
Over the seas of our times, higher where all is sublime

I'll be here by your side forever
I will shadow your steps again and again
We'll be chained to this sin together
Through the joy and the pain
'cos I am the Tool of the Devil

You try to stay on path, try to keep direction
But the voices in your head, whispering deception
You're standing in the middle, don't know what to do
I'll give you the answers, to get you through
Walk through the fire with me
Over the seas of our times, higher where all is sublime

I'll be here by your side forever
I will shadow your steps again and again
We'll be chained to this sin together
Through the joy and the pain
'cos I am the Tool of the Devil

Thunderstone - I Will Come Again

Here again all by myself I'm pounding it all
I can't recall those years before, before when I stood tall
The days of glory in the past, haunting evermore
The vision and the final dream are still behind the door
Searching for the righteous course, I'm lost without a light
I need a sign, I need it now, I'll never give up without a fight

I will come again
With the power of my will
I have seen the eyes of this world and I have seen it's thrill
I will come again
Until then I'll get through
Destination still unknown
Direction straight ahead

The story goes on and on, it's time to turn page
I wish to find my final peace, without any rage
And suddenly I see it all, I'm not alone anymore
I need to run but not to hide, I'm reaching for the door

I will come again
With the power of my will
I have seen the eyes of this world and I have seen it's thrill
I will come again
Until then I'll get through
Destination still unknown
Direction straight ahead

Brothers Johnson
Strawberry Letter 23

Hello my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too
All through the morning rain I gave
The sun doesn't shine
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden, I see (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
West purples shower bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Dressed in green

Pretty music I hear
So happy and loud (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Blue flowers echo
From a cherry cloud (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh
If you try to ask, "is it cool?"
"Is it cool?"

If you arrive and don't see me
I'm gonna be with my baby
I am free flying in her arms
Over the sea...

Stained window yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
With velvet roses diggin' freedom flight (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

A present from you (ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Strawberry letter 22
The music plays I sit in for a few (ah, ah, ah, ah...)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh...)

Sabaton - Metal Crüe

Take some venom and accept
That you won't see Nazareth
The rainbow leads you home

Warrior sent to milky way
UFO shooting gamma ray
A riot of destruction

Watch the rockbitch go down, vixen spread

When the priest killed a maiden in the metal church
Armored saints and warlocks watched the slaughter
Rage of the slayer forced the pretty maids
To kiss the Queen in crimson glory

You were born a mötorhead
Bike's in flames you race ahead
you do the kansas rush

Racing with the motley crew
Annihilator chasing you
With guns and burning roses

Status quo has been reached, wasps unleashed

Take a skyride with me, then you'll see

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. hmm, I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. I dont think so

Going back to cali, stylin, profilin
Growlin, and smilin, while in the sun
The top is down, on the black corvette
And its fly, cause its sittin on daytons
Laurents steering wheel, plushed out, gold-leaf phantom top
And three girls waiting
Vrrrroom engines blowin, the chrome, is shining
Passing all the cars on the way
Movement of the wind, back wheels spin
Pop in a cassette and push play

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali - yea yall, I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali..

Im going back to cali, shakin em, bakin em
Takin em to spots they never before hung
? ? the place, on sunset its a trip
Where the a.c.s cold, and the girls still strip
The record skip, but this girl kept dancin
Prancin, grindin, grinnin, romancin
I asked her to the barn, so we could hit the hay
I wanna do this, brutus, but I dont wanna pay

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali - no man I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali..

..

Im going back to cali, rising, surprising
Advising realizing, shes sizing me up
Her bikini - small; heels - tall
She said, she liked, the ocean
She showed me a beach, gave me a peach
And pulled out the suntan lotion
Now I thought that was fast, but this girl was faster
Shes lookin for a real good time
I said, close your eyes, I got a surprise,
And I ran away with the bottle of wine

Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. I dont think so
Im going back to cali, cali, cali
Im going back to cali.. I dont think so

Warrior - Fighting For The Earth

Face to face, eye to eye
Weilding the axe, the mighty must die
Highest mountain, deepest sea
Eternally searching to destroy the beast

Cry of the jackal, is heard in the land
Immortal enemy, has come to challenge man
Secret science out of control
Conjured the serpent, up from below

We are fighting for the earth
We are fighting for the earth

Searching, searching, searching...

Blood and corruption, hideous crimes
Lying leaders, controlling our minds
Cloak and dagger, conspiracy of hate
Oh hear the cry before it's too late

We are fighting for the Earth

Thunderstone - Face in the Mirror

Time after time
We hear the world's cry
No matter how we try
We're always one step behind

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

We are weakened by the virus
There's nothing we can feel
If this will be our last song
I welcome you to the real

This is the way we live
These are the hands that give
There's a face in the mirror
The eyes of a stranger

You can burn yourself
If you fly too close
To the sun that shines so bright
You can turn away
Or decide to stay
Where the darkness takes over the light

Blake Lewis "End of The World"

First act I wake up to find the hope
To see you simply staring back at me
Still there's only emptiness calling
To break the dream I once believed
Now I'm scared that this reality
Is much too heavy for me
I'm too weak to be strong
I can't be the only one
Holding on till the day you find me, so

Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]
Meet me at the end, the end of the world
Meet me at the end of the world

You found the place I hide within
Like you see right through my skin and my heart
To see I’m hopelessly wishing
You can forgive all my mistakes
Take them back and just erase all the wrong
And let our future get brighter

I'm too weak to be strong
I can't be the only one
Holding on till the day you find me, so
[End Of The World lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]


Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]
Meet me at the end, the end of the world
Meet me at the end of the world

Till these shadows disappear
I still wait to find you here
Still I’m haunted from the moment I feared, oh
Never forget what it’s like to surrender in your eyes
Holding on till the day you find me, so

Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]

Meet me at the end of the world
I’m waiting
Meet me at the end of the world
Please save me
This could be the place where we start the rest of our lives [rest of our lives]
Meet me at the end, the end of the world
Meet me at the end of the world

Thunderstone - Under The Burning Sun

I'm watching through the frozen window
Through the reflection of my face
There's a cold world out there
And I'm here, safe, and deceitfully fine...

This is my world
My haven, my home, where I can be alone
Only hear and see
Hear and see things that really matter to me

When I open the door and look upon the haze
I can see a million eyes and the way they're gazing at me
Walking through the misery
Surrounded by the things that I don't want to see

I can feel the hopeless pain,
and it's driving me insane
And today I'll make a promise
Just to break it by tomorrow

We will never learn
We will never turn
Our eyes to the world
Where the pain is reality
We will never see
We'll never believe
Until we touch the burning sun

I feel the breeze
The breeze that makes me realize that I am not alone
I'm here,
I'm home and safe again behind the doors, locked
inside
Never want to leave again

Sabaton - Stalingrad

Fresh from Moscow
Over Volga came to comrades aid
City in despair
Almost crushed by the führers army

Oh it's colder than hell
Hitlers forces advancing

The sound of mortars
The music of death
A grand symphony

See your friends fall hear them
Pray to the god your country denies
Every man dies alone and when your
Time comes you will know that it's time

Stalins fortress on fire
Is this madness or hell

The sound of mortars
The music of death
We're playing the devils symphony
Our violins are guns
Conducted from hell

Oh Stalingrad
Mratnimiat

Are you playing
Do you follow the conductors lead
No one knows you
No one cares about single a single violin

Play the score of the damned
Know the devil within

At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you truth
Now there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose

When i've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
And if you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end

God give me the answer to my life
God give me the answer to my dreams
God give me the answer to my prayers
God give me the answer to my being

 Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying

Justin Timberlake

I’m bringing sexy back
Them other boys don’t know how to act
I think you're special, what's behind your back?
So turn around and I'll pick up the slack.

Take 'em to the bridge

[Bridge]
Dirty babe
You see the shackles
Baby I’m your slave
I’ll let you whip me if I misbehave
It’s just that no one makes me feel this way

Take 'em to the chorus

[Chorus]
Come here girl
Go ahead, be gone with it
Come to the back
Go ahead, be gone with it
VIP
Go ahead, be gone with it
Drinks on me
Go ahead, be gone with it
Let me see what you’re working with
Go ahead, be gone with it
Look at those hips
Go ahead, be gone with it
You make me smile
Go ahead, be gone with it
Go ahead child
Go ahead, be gone with it
And get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it

Get your sexy on
Go ahead, be gone with it
[Repeat 6 times]

Get your sexy on

[Verse 2]
I’m bringing sexy back
Them other ****ers don’t know how to act
Come let me make up for the things you lack
'Cause you're burning up I gotta get it fast

Take 'em to the bridge

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I’m bringing sexy back
You mother ****ers watch how I attack
If that’s your girl you better watch your back
Cause she’ll burn it up for me and that’s a fact

Take 'em to the chorus

In Your Eyes Lyrics
 Â» Peter Gabriel
Get Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes ringtone
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Wish I Was - Gamma

I wish I was a willow tree
Leaning on a lazy breeze
Moving like a midnight train
Midnight train to Georgia

I wish I was a grain of sand
Laying in a baby's hand
Falling like a diamond chain
Into the ocean
A willow tree
Is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak
Who lives in fear of the wind
A grain of sand
Is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water
Wash right over me
Right on over me, oh

I wish I was an old guitar
Sitting in a beat up car
Hitting every two-bit bar
From here to Texas
Then I wouldn't be ashamed
To look up my old friends
They would be so proud
To see me strung up again

Repeat Chorus

Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants to know your name
You're just another face
Lost on the crowded street

Repeat Chorus

Right on
Right on over me

Tears of God - Los Lobos

When it's up to you
To figure out what's right and wrong
It's someone else's parade
And yours is an unhappy song

When it hurts so bad
And you feel that you can't go on
Each day go by too fast
And the nights are so very long

[Chorus:]
You'll find out true
What mother said to you
That tears of God will show you the way
The way to turn

When your only escape
Is a cheap nickel wine
And the peace you need in your heart
Is so very hard to find

It's a stubborn life we lead
And there's never no rest
Trouble's out there looking for you
Even when you try your best

[Chorus]

Hide not your head
The way to turn
Hear what he once said
He'll show you the way
For there is a world for you and me
Where the blind too can see
Through the tears of God

The son of the maker said
This is my cross to bear
Taking off of our shoulders
Something we should have shared

[Chorus]

Stormwarrior - Heading Northe

Wilde at hearte, defiant minde
Surrender is not my fate
I've cross'd the seas for all the years
And always have prevail'd

I've seen the tempest in darkest nights
I've faced the eyes of Thor
I've felt the icy colde winde blow
So mystical and raw

I've never fear'd the open battlefielde
(never fear'd the open sea)
I've always brav'd the wildest storms
(brav'd the wildest storms)
But when I close my eyes I see the northern skies
And I see the place where I was borne

We're heading northe, heading home
Where the northern son was borne
And the northewinde fills my hearte again
Withe the flame that miss'd so longe
We're heading northe, heading home
To the shores where we belonge
Njörð's daughters take me home again
To the ones we've left alone
We're heading northe

I've conquered oh the stormy seas
Laid waste the foreign shores
The scars of countless victories
revive the days of yore

I've never ...
