People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem twisted when you're unwanted
The streets around you are home when you're down
When you're straaaaange...
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem twisted when you're unwanted
The streets around you are home when you're down

When you're straaaaange...
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem twisted when you're unwanted
The streets around you are home when you're down

When you're straaaaange...
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange

Awesome song! Rodney Mullen skates to it in "Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song" and that makes it even more enjoyable to me! :D

Here's two...

Mrs. Train by They Might Be Giants

I don't want to be first in line to see Mrs. Train
I expect that it doesn't matter to Mrs. Train
Being comfortable with yourself
And being patient and taking your time
Are the things that Mrs. Train can understand

I've never seen a train like this before
But then again, there's never been
A train like this before like Mrs. Train
And someone's got to be the one to declare
That they're gonna be next in line to see Mrs Train

But I don't want to be first in line to see Mrs. Train
I expect that it doesn't matter to Mrs. Train
And being patient and taking your time
Are the things that a train can understand
And I'll be happy when I finally take her hand

There's never been a train like this before
Someone's got to be the one
At the head of the line to first see Mrs. Train
But I'm not in any rush to head the line
And saw the line has a missing head

And I don't want to be first in line to see the missing head
I expect that it doesn't matter to the missing head
Being patient and taking your time
Are the things that a head can understand
And I'll be happy when I finally take her hand

I've never seen a head like this before
Someone's got to be the one
At the head of the line to first see the missing head
But I'm not in any rush to head the line
And saw the line has a missing head

And I don't want to be first in line to see the missing head
I expect that it doesn't matter to the missing head
Being patient and taking your time
Are the things that a head can understand
And I'll be happy when I finally take its hand

And I don't want to be first in line to see the missing head
I expect that it doesn't matter to the missing head
Being patient and taking your time
Are the things that a head can understand
And I'll be happy when I finally take its hand

And I don't want to be first in line to see the missing head
I expect that it doesn't matter to the missing head
Being patient and taking your time
Are the things that a head can understand
And I'll be happy when I finally take its hand



Swimming In Your Ocean by Crash Test Dummies

When I'm decending to you busom
Sometimes I suffer from distractions like:
"Why does God cause things like tornadoes and train wrecks?"

When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I get pretty sidetracked
I hope you understand

And when I kneel before your bounty
Sometimes I wonder if there could be really
UFOs that come from other planets

When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I get pretty sidetracked
I hope you understand

And when you let me taste your fingers
I take them like fruit and I as I linger
I wonder if my seeds will find purchase in your soil

When I'm swimming in
When I'm swimming in your ocean
Floating aloft on creams
And scented lotions
I get pretty sidetracked
I hope you understand
I get pretty sidetracked
I hope you understand

I'm pretty good at remembering lyrics, so if I did post them here it would take ages because of all the songs I know :)
Here's one of my favourite songs ever:

Katrina - David Tao

Katrina, I can't stop looking in your eyes
But my words don't come out straight
Don't know what to say...

On Monday, I tell myself I gotta wait
Don't rush it, don't anticipate
Take it slowly, It's ok...
It's ok...

And I just wanna chance to know you
To know the woman deep inside, yeah
And I don't wanna look back in life
And see this missed oppurtunity
Even at the risk of looking like a fool
To you....

On Wednesday, I casually walk on by
To find that you're not there
Act like I don't care
On Friday, I catch a glimpse of you
I tell myself: "Don't hesitate
You just walk up, and say hello
Say Hello..."

And I just wanna chance to know you
To know the woman deep inside, yeah
And I don't wanna look back in life
And see this missed oppurtunity
Even at the risk of looking like a fool
To you....

Katrina, will I ever know your heart?

Ahh.... a lyrics post! It's time for my obligatory Rush post now! :D

Freeze (Part IV of Fear) -- Rush

The city crouches, steaming
In the early morning half-light
The sun is still a rumor
And the night is still a threat

Slipping through the dark streets
And the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me
And my palms begin to sweat

Sometimes I freeze - until the light comes
Sometimes I fly - into the night
Sometimes I fight - against the darkness
Sometimes I'm wrong - sometimes I'm right

Coiled for the spring
Or caught like a creature in the headlights
Into a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero

The menace threatens, closing
And I'm frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And I'm not prepared to fight

I can't stand to reason
Or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts
Or surrender to my fright

Sometimes we freeze - until the light comes
Sometimes we're wrong - and sometimes we're right
Sometimes we fight - against the darkness
Sometimes we fly - into the night

Blood running cold
Mind going down into a dark night
Of a desperate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury
Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero

Sometimes I freeze
Sometimes I fight
Sometimes I fly
Into the night

I do not usually remember an entire song's lyrics, just parts that get stuck in my head. Even those eventually disappear if I do not listen to the song.

grrr.... I didn't know what Hefner Song to pick so I decided to go with Hello Kitten, because I feel that this is one of the songs where you can get a better feel for Hefner(does that make sense????) Although I took the first line out, just in case it would affend anybody, I doubt it would.

Hello Kitten


The photos I take are not the photos I like, they look dull, they look crap when placed next to real life,
You have a blue iris with a hint of burnt of sienna and it wrestles my hate to the ground,
You have inquisitive eyebrows that make me soft centred and your lips make a purring sound.
I’m going to make myself go blind tonight,
I’m going to make myself go blind tonight,
I’m going to build a shrine to the wasted days,
I’m going to make myself go blind tonight.
Hello kitten, you’ll never know what it’s like to be me when I’m curled at your feet,
I thought you were perfect but that racist joke just made it all bitter sweet.
Won’t you slap me around and make my lips a bit swollen so we can spend a day off work,
Won’t you cut up my arm and lock it in a suitcase

(:tom: hehehehe its Tom, I've been gone too long.)

I'm bored at the present moment, so here's one and a half more...


You Don't Know by Reel Big Big Fish

Well first of all
I'd like to say f--- off
If you don't get it
Why don't you go shove your head back up your ass
And dont waste my time
I don't need your opinion, no

Cause you don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like to be like me
You don't know so keep your mouth shut

Well this my come
As kind of a surprise
I don't like you
And I don't care what you think about what I do
But most of all
I don't need you opinion, no

You don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like
You don't know what it's like to be like me
You don't know so keep your mouth shut

Well finally
That's the way it is
I like something you don't
And you're telling me it's sh--
But it's a waste of time
You can't change our opinions
Know what else?

I don't know what it's like
I don't know what it's like
I don't know what it's like to be like you
I don't know so I'll keep my mouth

Falling For You by Weezer. It's just a cool song!

Holy cow I think I've got one here
Now just what am I supposed to do?
I've got a number of irrational fears
That I'd like to share with you
First there's rules about old goats like me
Hanging around with chicks like you
But I do like you
And another one: you say 'like' too much
But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby I'm afraid I'm falling for you
I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you
Holy moly baby wouldn't you know it
Just as I was busting loose
I gotta go turn in my rock star card
And get fat and old with you
'cause I'm a burning candle
You're a gentle moth
Teaching me to lick a little bit kinder
And I do like you you're the lucky one
No I'm the lucky one
But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby I'm afraid I'm falling for you
I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you
Holy sweet goddam you left your cello in the basement
I admired the glowing stars
And tried to play a tune
I can't believe how bad I suck it's true
What could you possibly see in little old three chord me?
But I do like you and you like me too
I'm ready let's do it baby
But I'm shaking at your touch
I like you way too much
My baby I'm afraid I'm falling for you
I'd do about anything to get the hell out alive
Or maybe I would rather settle down with you

ooo, Weezer!! awesome.
(After listening to this over 30 times, the words just kinda sunk in :p )

I'm Still Here, by John Rzeznik from the Goo-Goo Dolls

I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment that's held in your arms

And what do you think you'd ever say
I don't listen anyway
You don't know me and I'll never be what you want
Me to be

And what do think you'd understand
I'm a boy, no I'm a man
You can't take me
And throw me away

And how can you learn what's never shown
Yeah you stand here on your own
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They don't know me
'Cause I'm not here

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted I could be
Now you know me
And I'm not afraid

And I want to tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can the world want me to change?
They're the ones that stay the same
They can't see me
But I'm still here

They can't tell me who to be
'Cause I'm not what they see
And the world is still sleeping while I keep on dreaming for me
And their words are just whispers and lies that I'll never believe

And I want a moment to be real
Want to touch things I don't feel
Wanna hold on and feel I belong

And how can they say I never change?
They're the ones that stay the same
I'm the one now
'Cause I'm still here

I'm the one
'Cause I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here
I'm still here

Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya

But that butt you got
Make Me so horny
Ooh, rump of smooth skin

She gotta pack much back

So Fellas (yeah) Fellas(yeah)

But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna --
Til the break of dawn

Playin workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none unless you've got buns hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So cosmo says you're fat

Cuz your waste is small and your curves are kickin
And I'm thinkin bout stickin
To the beanpole dames in the magazines

Baby got back

I have a couple.....


Our Lady Peace-Somewhere Out There.


Last time I talked to you,
you were lonely and out of place.

You were looking down on me,
lost out in space.

Laid underneath the stars,
strung out and feeling brave.

Watch the riddles glow,
watch them float away.

Down here in the atmosphere,
garbage and city lights,
you gotta save your tired soul,
you gotta save our lives.

Turn on the radio,
to find you on sattellite,
I'm waiting for the sky to fall,
I'm waiting for a sign.

All we are is all so far.

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

Hope you remember me,
when you're homesick and need a change.
I miss your purple hair,
I miss the way you taste.

I know you'll come back someday,
on a bed of nails awake.
I'm praying that you don't burn out,
or fade away.

All we are is all so far

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there, oh.
You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity....

I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling back to me,
the star that I can't see.
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

You're falling back to me.

Well I know,
I know.

You're falling out of reach.

I know...


And then...

Tool - "Lateralis"


Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.

I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going...

He he.... :D

Weezer - "Keep Fishin"


You'll never be a better kind
If you don't leave the world behind
Waste my days, drown the ways

It's just the thought of you in love with someone else
It breaks my heart to see you hangin' from the shelf

You'll never do the things you want
If you don't move and get a job.
Waste my days, drown the ways

It's just the thought of you in love with someone else
It breaks my heart to see you hangin' from your shelf

Oh girl when I'm in love with you
Keep fishin' if you feel it's true
There's nothing much that we can do
To save you from yourself

Waste my days, drown the ways
It's just the thought of you in love with someone else
It breaks my heart to see you hangin' from your shelf

Oh girl when I'm in love with you
Keep fishin' if you feel it's true
There's nothing much that we can do
To save you from yourself

You'll never be a better kind
Whoa whoa oh oh

I love this video... :D

Phish - Down With Disease

Down with disease
Three weeks in my bed
Trying to stop these demons that keep dancing in my head

Down with disease
Up before the dawn
A thousand barefoot children outside dancing on my lawn, and I keep

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way
But when I think it's time to leave it all behind
I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

Down with disease and the jungles in my mind
They're climbing up my waterfalls and swingin' on my vines
So I try to hear the music but I'm always losing time
'Cause they're stepping on my rhythm and they're stealin' all my lines
Stealin' all my lines and I keep

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful but now I'm on my way
But when I think it's time to leave it all behind
I try to find a way but there's nothing I can say to make it stop

Jimmy Eat World - Sweetness

Are you listening, woah...
Sing it back, oh....
String from your tether unwinds
oh, oh. oh, oh.
Up and outward
To bind
oh.. oh.
I was spinning free woah...
With a little sweet and simple numbing me.

Are you listening? woah...
Sing it back, oh...
Tell me what do I need. oh, oh. oh, oh.
When words
Lose their meaning. oh oh..
I was spinning free. woah...
With a little sweet and Simple numbing me
Stumble till you crawl. woah...
Sinking into sweet uncertainty

If you're listening, woah...
Sing it back. oh...
I'm still running away 2x oh. oh. woah..
I won't play your hide and seek game
I was spinning free woah...
With a little sweet and simple numbing me.
What a dizzying dance oh...

This sweetness will not be concerned with me
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me
No the sweetness will not be concerned with me

Heh heh...I love the Doors. I'm a sad little person who knows all their lyrics by heart, including "The End" and most of "The Celebration of the Lizard." I think I could rattle off "Lady Madonna" if I had to....though I am a bit foggy. I know I can do "Sympathy for the Devil..."

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
I was around when Jesus Christ had His moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed His fate

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

I stuck around Saint Petersburg when I saw that it was time for a change
I killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I drove a tank, held a general's rank when the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

I watched with glee as your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades over the gods they made
And I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all, it was you and me.

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I laid traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

Just as every cop's a criminal and all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer, because I am in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy and some taste
Use all of your well learned politics, or I'll lay your soul to waste!

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.

Let's see....I'm a real junkie for music, and I basically memorize anything that I come across, and I don't think anyone will appreciate fifteen pages of the Doors except a hardcore fan. Here's my personal favorite, "The Crystal Ship"

Before you slip into unconsciousness, I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss, another kiss. Another kiss

The days are bright and filled with pain
Hold me in your gentle rays
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again
We'll meet again

Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry
I'd rather fly

The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls/pills
A thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line....

Ooooooh - stop

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
and there's nothing in it
and you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me east is west
Tryin' to talk to me coy koi

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

With your feet on the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
and there's nothing in it
and you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind (3x)

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh

The Elms - THE BIG SURPRISE.
All hail the genius that is Owen Thomas. :D

I am back.
This time, I'm the big surprise,
And I'm hiding behind your sofa.
I'm the culture shock. Temporary block.
And I'll love you for the next five minutes.
I'm your magazine, 'cos you read me clean
Without taking any time for pictures.
I'm your hand grenade and your lemonade,
'Cos I’ll blow up and leave you soured.

Find somebody with a workin' car and drive them crazy, too.

The big surprise is me!

I worked extra hard to pick your birthday card,
You just threw it out and kept my money.
I got up at six to make your favorite dish,
So I sank when you said you weren’t hungry.
Filed your tax return, let some candles burn,
Played Mozart to make your plants grow.
Then I clipped the trees, got down on my knees,
Not to work, just to pray you’d see me.

Find somebody who will paint your house, and gloss them over, too.

SF58 loves you.

The Human League - Human
Favorite song of them all. :)

Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me ?

I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No-one else could ever take your place

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

I am just a man

Please forgive me

The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you now I ask the same of you
While we were apart I was human too

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I am just a man
Human
Born to make mistakes

(incited by ButteredToast's obligatory Rush lyric)
RUSH: Different Strings

Who's come to slay the dragon, come to watch him fall
Making arrows out of pointed words giant killers at the call
Too much fuss and bother
too much contradiction and confusion.
Peel away the mystery, here's a clue to some real motivation.
All there really is, the two of us
And we both know why we've come along
Nothing to explain, its apart of us
To be found within a song.

What happened to out innocence, did it go out of style?
Along with our naivite, no longer a child
Different eyes see different things
Different hearts beat on different strings.
But there are times, for you and me when all such things agree.
All there really is, the two of us
And we both know why we've come along
Nothing to explain, its apart of us
To be found within a song.

*******************************

Plus for good measure (and 'cos I have a spare few mins)

Siousxie & the Banshees 'Playground Twist'

Hanging, hanging, hanging,
Hanging from your daisy chains, swinging in the trees
Running from your enemies and falling on your knees
On your knees, on your knees, get down on your knees

Throw the dice you three blind mice
Did you ever see such a thing in your life?
You follow the trail but still arrive inside your entrails

Hanging, hanging, hanging,
Hanging out at party games, dancing in the shadows
Up and down on the seesaw balancing the scales, balancing the scales
You're drunk you're drunk yet you're balancing the scales

Someone to blame, someone to shame
Someone who you can claim
Go back to pass the parcel and follow the leader home.

Hanging, hanging, hanging,
Hanging from your climbing frame swinging in your gallows
Laughing with your buddies but you can drown when you're shallow
you can drown when you're shallow
you can drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown, drown

Standing Outside the Fire
Written by Garth Brooks, Jenny Yates
Performef by Garth Brooks

We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned

We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire

We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall

We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all

They're so hell-bent on giving ,walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
Standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Aerosmith's "Dream On"
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
Fffffff... the past has gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay


Yeah... I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know... how to win


Half my life's in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you


Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away


Well... sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away... ahh


Mmmm... dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on... dream on... dream on
And dream until your dream come true


Dream on... dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream on... dream on... dream on... aaahhh...


Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow good Lord will take you away


Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

How 'bout another one of my faves?
Metallica's "Enter Sandman"
Say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white

dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

now I lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if I die before I wake
pray the lord my soul to take

hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head

exit light
enter night
grain of sand

exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

i doubt anyone knows this song, but it has really strange lyrics (its still a good song, though). I'll try and do the whole song by memory

"Spine of a Dog" moe.

You say potato and I say three
You say potato and I say three
You say potato and I say three
You say potato and I say three
You say potato and I say three

I am a pinball machine
I can't tell the difference between
My belly button or naval
Ping-Pong pool cue or a foosball table

Why is it you ask me why
I don't know the answer
Why is it you ask me why
I don't know the answer

Why is it you ask me why
I don't transmit what hits my eye
We're the same yeah you and me except
You say potato and I say three

I've been thinking of
What I'd rather be
Paramecium is looking pretty good to me
I'd be so small you could not see
I could still be your worst enemy

I am a pinball machine
I can't tell the difference between
My belly button or naval
Ping pong pool cue or a foosball table

another good song by them (this one actually has really good lyrics if you interpret them):

"Saint Augustine" by moe.

God is light
Light is good
Yeah God is good

There's a bag lady thrifting through trash in my neighborhood
Asked for a light, you know I understood

God is light
Light is good
Yeah God is good

Where you going to run when they come for you...

Have you heard about the infant born with a handgun
Shot his twin brother coming out now he's an only son
He's a good boy...wait and see...
We'll rehabilitate him 1 2 3

God is light
Light is good
Yeah God is good

Where you going to run when they come for you...

Hey Saint Augustine
There's a flaw you see
You've reasoned quite
Illogically

God is light
Light is good
Yeah God is good

Where you going to run when they come for you...
They'll hear you playing your guitar

Y'all probably haven't heard of Ellis Paul but I consider him one of the best singer-songwriters alive today.

Angel In Manhattan by Ellis Paul

Tell the man who repairs the wings for angels
That one has fallen among the mortals on Bleeker Street
I lent a hand, she looked up at the steeples
As if to blame them for the pavement beneath her feet
She said, "I never much liked flying, but the job requires trying
The hard part's avoiding buildings and concrete"

(chorus)
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
Call out the paparazzi and the television crews
Let the people choose
Would a little Faith come to harm them?
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
It was just another day
Like any other, other day

A Tuesday afternoon
I hailed a cab, a crowd gathered as it pulled beside us
And somebody tore at her wings, but I helped her safely inside
"I'm much obliged," she said, but the driver he looked shaken
He said, "You're fakin', lady, who's taking who for a ride"
But then we floated up over the traffic, she turned the radio to static,
And she sang to him in Billy Holiday's sweet voice
(chorus)
Spread the news, 'cause there's an angel in Manhattan
Call out the paparazzi and the the television crews
Hey if you choose
Would a little Faith come to harm you?
Print the headlines up in the New York Daily News
It was just another day
What will the mayor say?
"Good afternoon"

We flew down the length of Fifth Avenue
She threw out miracles, it was a hysterical ride
And if the crowd on the sidewalk looked skeptical
She took the blue right out of their cynical eyes
"It's all in what you feel inside"

She shook the mayor's hand, and he declared
That he'd hold a press conference,
The fans and protesters blocked the stairs to city hall
"I'd like to thank you all," he said
And when she stepped before the cameras
It felt like a trial, but she smiled as the questions were called,
"What do you say to detractors, who claim you're just some actor?"

She said, "The question here, is 'Do I believe in you?'"
It was just another day
Like any other, other day

(chorus)

Spread the news, I saw an an angel fly from Manhattan
In front of paparazzi, in front of television crews
And me I choose
I know a little Faith wouldn't harm me
Despite what they print in the New York Daily News

It was just another day
Like any other, other day
Like any day

And because General Skarr asked for it.

Imagine by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Yeha, i know this was way down there, but new request- Buttercup

"Build Me Up Buttercup" originally by The Foundations (and later, Save Ferris):

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Faint

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored

I am, a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Cuz you don't understand I do what I can
Sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
You face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored

Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
I can't feel
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
Time won't tell
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored


Somewhere I Belong

(When this began)
I had nothing to say and I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But, all that they can see the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I got left to feel
(Nothing to do)
Just stuck hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal, I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain until it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
Because I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain I'm hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal, I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain until it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything until I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today

I want to heal, I want to feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain until it's gone)
I want to heal, I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I Belong
I want to heal, I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere I Belong
I want to heal, I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere I Belong
Somewhere I Belong



Figure.09

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I could do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
Cause from the infinite words I could say
I put all the pain you gave to me on display
Didn't realize instead of setting it free
I took what I hated and made it a part of me

It never goes away...
Never goes away...

And now, you've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you...

Hearing your name, the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening
I see you in every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew is they escaped the way I was committing myself to them and everyday
I regret saying those things, cuz now I see that
I took what I hated and made it a part of me

It never goes away...
Never goes away...

And now, you've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you...

Never goes away...
Never goes away...
It never goes away...
It never goes away!

GET AWAY FROM ME!
Give me my space back, you gotta just...
GO!
Everything goes down to memories of...
YOU!
I've kept it in but I'm letting you...
KNOW!
I've let you go so...
GET AWAY FROM ME!
Give me my space back, you gotta just...
GO!
Everything goes down to memories of...
YOU!
I've kept it in but I'm letting you...
KNOW!
I've let you go...

And now, you've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you...
I've let myself become you...
I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you...
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you...

and one more by
The Ataris
-Giving Up On Love

these past few weeks
I've been confused
sometimes I wonder if
I'm better off alone.

you fall in love
then break your heart.
you fall in love again
its never ending.

I used to have this friend
who took his fiance
to see billy idol
a couple weeks before
their wedding day.
the chick got backstage
and left my friend outside.
next day she called
from a hotel
asking for a ride.

I guess I'm giving up on love
I guess I'm giving up on love
I guess I'm giving up on love
'cause it really kind of sucks

uninspired
and growing tired
why am I always
so attracted to drama?

so here I am
grown up at 23
will someone tell me
what it takes to be happy?

I play in my band
and write a lot of songs
about relationships
and how mine went wrong.
maybe I'll meet that special
girl along the way
then she'll break my heart
and leave me crying.

I guess I'm giving up on love
I guess I'm giving up on love
I guess I'm giving up on love
'cause it really kind of sucks

I guess I'm giving up on love
I guess I'm giving up on love
I guess I'm giving up on love
It's just not worth it
'cause it really kind of sucks

Clone High USA (by Abandoned Pools)

Way way back in the 1980's
Secret government employees
Dug up famous guys and ladies
And made amusing genetic copies
Now those clones are sexy teens now
They're gonna make it if they try
Loving learning sharing judging
Time to laugh and shiver and cry...
Time to watch Clone High...
Energetic and engaging
Clone High...
Our angst is entertaining
Clone High...
Our plans are never boring
Who am I?

There's a place that you can go to
And it's never very far
Famous people you can live through
If you don't know who you are
Why there's so much to live up to
Expectations are so high
I'm not crying, it's my contacts
There must be something in my eye...
You all must watch Clone High...
Inspired and organic
Clone High...
Plausibly dramatic
Clone High...
More fun than watching static
Where am I?
Clone High

JOAN: "Yes Abe, I love y-" ABE: "Shhh"
MR. BUTLERTRON: "Where are my *****es"
JOAN: "You've changed, Abe"
TOOTS: "Now, I may be blind..."
GHANDI: "Best dudes forever, Abe?"
ABE: "I'll just leave you two alone because it looks like you're about to DO it anyway!"
JFK: "I'm a Kennedy! I'm not accustomed to tragedy!"

...I'll see you at Clone High
I can't escape my name
Clone High
That's the price of fame
Clone High
Life is just a game
That's why
Clone High...

Frogs - I only play for money

I don't do interviews,
I won't sign autographs,

Don't you love a star?
When he's a p**ck



I only play for money,
I don't give f--- about the fans
I only play for money,
I don't give a s--- if you dance,
Cause you're digging on the star
Cause you're digging on the one who's gone so far

If you take my picture,
You can't respect

If you send me fan mail,
I won't write back.

Don't you love the star, when he's a p**ck


I only play for money
I don't give a f--- about the fans
So leave your autograph books at home,
I don't give a damn.

Cause your digging on the star
Cause your digging on the one who's gone so far.

It's all a joke, lol.

The VERY first Iron Maiden song I have ever heard. This one got me hooked on 'em and I have loved them ever since. :)

“Rime of the Ancient Mariner” by Iron Maiden

Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea

And the music plays on as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale

Driven south to the land of snow and ice
To a place where nobody’s been
Though the snow fog flies the albatross
Hailed in God’s name, hoping good luck it brings

And the ship sails on, back to the north
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on

The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what he’s done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime

Sailing on and on and North across the sea
Sailing on and on and North ‘til all is calm

The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung

And the curse goes on and on and on at sea
And the thirst goes on and on for them and me

“Day after day, day after day, we stuck no breath or motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.”

There, calls the Mariner there comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide

See.. onward she comes
Onward she nears, out of the sun
See.. She has no crew
She has no life, wait but there’s two

Death and she life and death, they throw their dice to the crew
She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now
Then.. crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She.. She life and death
She lets him live, her chosen one

(Narrative)
“One after one by the star dogged moon,
too quick to moan or sigh
each turned his face with a ghastly pang,
and cursed me with his eye
four times fifty men
(and I heard no sigh or moan),
with heavy thump, a lifeless lump,
they dropped down one by one.”

The curse it lives on in their eyes
The Mariner he wished he’d died
Along with the sea creatures
But they lived on so did he

And by the light of the moon
He prays for their beauty not doom
With heart he blesses them
God’s creatures all of them too

Then the spell starts to break
The albatross falls from his neck
Sinks down like lead into the sea
Then down in falls comes the rain

Hear the groans of the long dead seamen
See them stir and they start to rise
Bodies lifted by good spirits
None of them speak and they’re lifeless in their eyes

And revenge is still sought, penance starts again
Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on

Now the curse is finally lifted
And the Mariner sights his home
Spirits go from the long dead bodies
Form their own light and the Mariner’s left home

And then a boat came sailing towards him
It was a joy he could not believe
The pilots boat, his son and the hermit
Penance of life will fall onto Him

And the ship sinks like lead into the sea
And the hermit shrieves the Mariner of his sins

The Mariner’s bound to tell of his story
To tell his tale wherever he goes
To teach God’s word by his own example
That we must love all things that God made

And the wedding guest’s a sad and wiser man
And the tale goes on and on and on

By the way, Our Lady Peace ROCKS!! :D

here are mine!

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

There's just no rhyme or reason
Only this sense of completion
And in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I've found my way home

I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I've found you

I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life


Yo No Tengo Corazon No sabia si reir o si llorar
Cuando supe de tus dudas
De tus celos sin razon
Y le pregunte a la luna
Si es que cometi un error
Para verte asi sufrir tan confundida

No te puedo decir perdoname
Pues ni con el pensamiento
Le he faltado yo a este amor
Y aunque te cueste creerlo
Vivo solo amandote
Como la primera vez estoy adorandote...

Yo no tengo corazon para romperte el tuyo no
Y me duele hasta pensar que tu dudas de mi amor
Yo no tengo corazn para partirte el alma
Para ver tus ojos bellos en un mar de lagrimas
Solo tengo corazon para quererte cada dia mas

Yo no puedo hacerte dano ni sembrar en ti el dolor
Porque a quien te ama tanto no le pagas con traicin
Son tus celos y tus dudas el fantasma de este amor
Que a tu mente la confunde y me acusas sin razon

"Upside Down From Here" by Atom & His Package (I played this on my radio show today and now I'm officially obsessed with it ^^; )

From Antartica to the polar caps
Try to fit a big orb on a little flat map
I'm not going to drive this time
I love Greenland when it's Africa's size
North is not up and East is not right
except for Milwaukee Wisconsin that night
I know what it feels like to be upside down from here.
Here is my arm and it waves like a flag that reminds me than I have 2 arms and a map.
From Antartica to the polar caps

I'm not going to drive this time
I love Greenland when it's Africa's size
North is not up and East is not right
except for Milwaukee Wisconsin that night
So get a map and learn where you live at
I know what it feels like to be upside down from here.
And if we met halfway in the middle of the planet, we'd just sit there and spin.
Would that happen? Can it!?
Here is my arm and it waves like a flag that reminds me that I have 2 arms and a map
I know what it feels like to be upside down from here.

"Fa Fa" by Guster

When you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
Just a perfect reflection, you and no one else
Minutes run into hours, hours run into days
You're still waiting for someone who never ever came
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Go and run through the hallways, and find your way to the door
You will end up like always, back where you were before
Can you look in the mirror, wish you were somebody else
But it's still your reflection, you and no one else
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
No matter where you go, you'll never find your way home
You'll never find your way home no matter where you go
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
You were always saying something, you swear you'd never say again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again
Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa
Never be the same again

The Anthem
by Good Charlotte

It's a new day, but it all feels old
It's a good life, that's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same

And my high school, it felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see

That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
'Cause I don't ever wanna, I don't ever wanna be

You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you

"Go to college, a university, get a real job,"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by and just do my time, out of step while they all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind

Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
'Cause I don't ever wanna, no I don't ever wanna be

You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up, you, don't wanna be you

Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again

You...don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is this is the anthem throw all your hands up,
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me, you, don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem throw all your hands up, y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

Weezer - Say it ain't so
Somebody's Heide is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one is givin' me chills
Guess I'll just close my eyes

Flip on the tele'
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow

Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a lifetaker

I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me that takes you further every day
So be cool

Dear Daddy,
I write you in spite of years of silence.
You've cleaned up, found Jesus,
things are good or so I hear.
This bottle of Steven's
awakens ancient feelings.
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood.



Mc Chris - Geek

They dissipate the pungent odor of a power holder. sand kickers comin’ sixty clicks upon the sonar. they’re gonna fold me over like a trapper keeper folder. if this was D&D, you’d see me jump into a portal. I’m a geek, spelled G double E K. I meet my boys in the basement about every day. a card table, comic books and cans of coke that we blow out of our nose after a star wars joke. we got style: tape on our glasses, zits on our faces and hair on our asses. shiny shoes, belt buckles and pocket protectors, tricked out back packs like my main man venkman’s. we got problems, namely the jocks: the SUV suckers with class rings on their c<>cks. otherwise known as the motherf<>ckers touchin the tit. if I was wolverine, you’d hear my knuckles go, snikt. I’m not perfect, the before picture of peter parker, always trip and drop my tray in front of the girl that always sparkles. I got brains, f<>ck b’s and c’s, I got a grade point average higher than hendrix on new year’s eve.


don’t f<>ck with a geek, just cuz he got a gift. you get in my way b<>tch you get a vulcan neck pinch. one night I didn’t go to sleep, up playin’ risk. at dawn, I won, got global dominance, but it in the hallway it’s completely different sh<>t. can’t get my locker open and my pants are always split. can’t seem to catch a ride, can’t ever get a date, but in my mind 7 of 9 thinks I’m great. prom night bites, primadonnas prevail. I’m at home reciting lines from the holy grail. stuffed nose, and some swollen glands, never been kissed, never been holding hands, just bust my biscuits over britney in a bubble bath. darth vader with inhalers in case my lungs collapse. the dragon died from heart attack, you may advance and yo, I upped your armor class. being a geek it aint so bad, I can’t get laid, I got japanime stashed, and a mind jam packed with sci fi facts. dreadknocks rock, dinobots kick ass.

yep...here's my theme song :rolleyes:

The Ataris
The Last Song I Will Ever Write About A Girl
Broken heart again today...
The flowers that I gave to you have withered all away.
Just when I opened up my heart
The one you used to love came and ripped it right apart.

Why do I never seem to learn?
That love is wrong and girls are ****ing evil.
I guess I'll never figure out
What womankind is all about.

I heard your voice again today
I'm scarred by all the lies that were once promises you'd made.
I lie in bed awake at night
And wonder what went wrong or even more just what went right.

Why do I never seem to learn?
That love is wrong and girls are ****ing evil.
I guess I'll never figure out
What womankind is all about.

Here's two more:


"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" by The Flaming Lips

Her name is Yoshimi - she's a black belt in karate
Working for the city - she has to discipline her body
Cause she knows that it's demanding to defeat these
Evil machines - I know she can beat them

Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me

Those evil natured robots - they're programmed to
Destroy us - She's gotta be strong to fight them
So she's taking lots of vitamins - cause she knows that
It'd be tragic if those evil robots win - I know
She can beat them



"Monster Man" by Soul Coughing

Stop hitching the monster man
It was a bad plan, but I had to get to town

That's why I've got my mind in my own
That's why I've got my mind in my own

Hand over the wave yeah, hand over the water,
Hand over the wave yeah, hand over the water,
The realest of the real
The realest of the real

It's like the burnout said - phenomenon
It's like the burnout said - phenomenon
It's like the burnout said - phenomenon

To the ruder bar in a Buddha plump van
It was a stamped can, it was a clamor
Understanding, and all you people jumping but we raised the bar
You're dumber than a box of rocks
Give up, star

That's why I've got my mind in my own
That's why I've got my mind in my own
That's why I've got my mind in my own
That's why I've got my mind in my own
High above, yeah

Hand over the wave yeah, hand over the water,
Hand over the wave yeah, hand over the water,
The realest of the real
The realest of the real

The inscrutable, the irrefutable, the illegible, the indisputable
The undisputed

Stop hitching the monster man
It was a bad plan, but I had to get to town
Unbitten, but the way I found it was a hand came down
And pow, I got illuminated

One of my Favorites...
Are You The Walrus by Furthermore

I'm in line behind a barbizon
And she really looks like one
She says "Hi, I'm skin,"
And shows a whole lot
But doesn't seem to have a whole lot
Within, I'm small talk
Blah, blah, blah, blah about the weather and all
Because I'd love to stand here
Another year, winter, spring, summer, fall
Into pieces it pleases the eye
It's nice to know that there are problems outside of my own

I feel better, better
Move to ten items or less
Should I let her, let her, let me in front of her?
Sure, I guess
I'm close to checkout, she asks,
"Are you the walrus?"
I said "yes" without listening
"Oh, come on, be honest."
I'm close to checkout, she asks,
"Are you the walrus?"
I said, "Yes, and that's a promise!"
"Oh, come on, be honest."
Be, be honest, be, be, be honest
Be, be honest, be, be, be honest

I have five items in the waiting asylum
Take everybody's burdens, let's pile 'em up
On the counter, call it a conveyer belt
And as I look around I see a wanna-be dad using his belt
On his screaming baby, a baby, oh baby
The constellation on her face said he did the same to his lady
Ten thousand maniacs asked the question
But it's way too late, he made a lasting impression
I wish it wasn't so, I wish it wasn't so
But I'm not supposed to impose family values, you know
The sale of the century wasn't meant to be like this
But how can you resist the madness?
I'm so glad it's almost my turn
Only one lady away from the freedom I yearn for
But before you get excited,
She's gotta check the writing,
I'm sorry to announce that the check is gonna bounce

I feel better, better
Move to ten items or less
Should I let her, let her, let her me in front of her?
Sure I guess
I'm at the checkout
She asks, "Are you the walrus?"
I said "yes" without listening
"Oh, come on, be honest."
I'm at the checkout,
She asks, "Are you the walrus?"
I said, "Yes, and that's a promise."
"Oh, come on, be honest."
Be, be honest, be, be, be honest
Be, be honest, be, be, be honest

Honestly,
We are moderately moving
Situation slowly is improving
I find the Percy Faith on the P.A.
Is sort of soothing
Collect my change and I jet
Then I'm cruising

Check, check it out, check, check it out
Check, check it out, check, check it out
Check, check it out, check, check it out
Check it out

Wandering around looking for my car
I'm amazed at the maze
Who even knows where you are?
Who knows why that's a cart resting in the dent it made?
Another car waiting for our places to trade
I wish it wasn't so, I wish it wasn't so
I wish I was in the distance and heading to home base
And now the race to red lights begin
When the convertible girl slows down to let me in
I feel better, better, like as if I was blessed
Should I let her, let her, let me in front of her?
Sure, I guess
I roll down the window, she asks,
"Are you the walrus?"
I said "yes" without listening
"Oh, come on, be honest"
I roll down the window, she asks,
"Are you the walrus?"
I said "Yes, and that's a promise!"
"Oh, come on, be honest."
Be, be honest, be, be, be honest
Be, be honest, be, be, be honest

A couple of short songs:

"Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else

I close my eyes, and think of home
Another day goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is;
you never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
and will be until my dying day

*CHORUS*
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
it's hard to make it through another day
And it just makes me wanna cry
and throw my hands up into the sky

*CHORUS*
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years

-----------

"Deja Vu" by Iron Maiden

When you see familiar faces
But you don't remember where they're from
Could you be wrong?
When you've been in particular places
That you know you've never seen before
Can you be sure?

'Cause you konw this has happened before
And you know that this moment in time is for real
And you know when you feel deja vu

*CHORUS*

Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before

Ever had a conversation
That you realise you've had before
Isn't it strange?

Have you ever talked to someone
And you feel you know what's coming next
It feels pre-arranged

'Cause you know that you've heard it before
And you feel that this moment in time is surreal
'Cause you know when you feel deja vu

*CHORUS*

Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before

Rainer Maria - The Double Life
Save me some time
Just pick me up on A and 9th

save me some time
the streets are slow
can we go for a ride?

You want me completely
And I'm ready
And so I began
The double life
I began the double life

Save me some time
Just take me out
On A and 9th

Save me some time
I always wanted to wake up
On the Lower East Side

You want me completely
And I'm ready
And it's fine
And so I began the double life
I began the double life

I wasn't paying attention
And you quietly reeled me in again
I wasn't paying attention
And you quietly reeled me in again

And after all the games
It's business as usual again
It's just business as usual

Save me some time
I looked out into
The eager night

Save me some time
I can't tell any more
What's yours and what's mine

You want me completely
And I'm ready
And it's fine
And so I began the double life
I began the double life.

"SUPAFLY" (http://www.uoguelph.ca/%7Egpalmer/krutch/Supafly.mp3) by Thousand Foot Crutch (http://www.thousandfootkrutch.com/index.html)
We smashing,

thousand be the head of the class 'n'

rollin thru ya party with the stereo blastin' we creepin'

it's bin' seven since last weekend,

everybody in the club freekin'

and in the corner, I can see ya standin' there,

black jacket 'n' long hair we've been exchanging stares,

'n' I know ya, 'n' what'cha thinkin' yeah right,

wearin' ya clothes air-tight at the club every night 'n',

don't'cha know that brothers don't like the girls,

that be into the guys that be tellin them lies 'n' listen here hun, life's more than this,

ya tryin to tell me that'cha never get bored of this?,


Yo, check this who you eye'in up for ya set list,

frontin' with ya fake gold necklace,

not respected, 'n' yet ya wonderin' why,

seen the gleam in ya eyes, as soon as ya spotted the $,

girl what's next? who you hittin' up for the rolex?

brothers need to clear their specs,

boy ya gettin' gamed on, thinkin' she loves you 'n' all that,

need to get it all back, move on 'n' step off that,

she's the wrong type, but same goes for females,

cuz' guys be spittin' lies, not telling the details,

in the fine print, baby girl, don't sweat it,

cuz one of these days you'll regret it,

and yo, the moral of the story is,

dogs and cats are notorious, for gettin' funny around cash money,

so lesson learned, 'n' ya playin' with fire get burned,

respect yourself, peace, kid hope ya learned


(CHORUS)

You think ya somethin' more ya so supafly,

blind to the fact you're blind, you're so empty inside,

it's hard for me to get this thru to you,

blind to the fact ya blind, baby, blind, baby, (x2)


Well it's the Sundance Kid,

yo the rap villain, man for real and,

peeps catchin' feelin's of the lyrical caps that I'm peeling,

makin' noise y'all, me 'n' my krutch boys y'all, stand tall,

cuz yo we ain't never gonna fall, man forget that,

yo, we'll keep constantly comin' right back,

like CHRIST when he rose on the third

strikin' ya nerves take ya down, down, like Titanic to icebergs,

if ya messin' with a girl for her curves,

and yo, ya might be, you think ya somethin high and mighty,

might be that you be frontin,

most likely, no doubt, money be singin' the same song,

respect yourself hun, it's the 34th Psalm


And sometimes I feel, so unbreakable, I'm so forsakeable,

I'm shattered,

and things aren't as they seem,

they're so in between, they're so make believe,

that it's un-real,

and wake me up when things are better,

cuz I can't take much more of this and take these rags,

but leave my comfortable sweater,

and leave me alone, then leave me alone, alone, alone, a-lone (chorus) (x2)

Poor Skeleton Steps Out
-XTC

Poor skeleton steps out,
dressed up in bad blood,
bad brains, bad thoughts,
and others deeds.

Poor skeleton no doubt,
one of these days,
you can cast aside your human,
be free.

When the cities run with blood,
and you drink our health in mud,
"All flesh be gone."

Save your dry and joyous shout,
for the day poor skeleton steps out.

Poor skeleton steps out,
sprung from his life sentence deep inside some muscle mask.

Poor skeleton devout,
propping up truck drivers,
filmstars, thieves or queens,
your brave task.

When technology is rust,
and you write your book in dust,
"All flesh be gone."

Can't buy tickets from a tout,
for the day poor skeleton steps out.

Poor skeleton steps out,
liberated from sex organs and brown, black, white skin.

Poor skeleton you lout,
don't you think that we might like to have been asked to join in?

For good skeletons are we,
and we're dying to be free,
"All flesh be gone."

I will scream or sulk and pout,
until my poor skeleton steps out.

Look out, here comes bony boy.


Spastic Minnow,
XTC addict

Crazy For This Girl

She rolls the window down
And she talks over the sound
Of the cars that pass us by
And I don't know why but she's changed my mind

You look at her, she looks at me
She's got me thinkin about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And if she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
Ya, I'm crazy for this girl...

She was the one to hold me
The night the sky fell down
And what was I thinkin when
The world didn't end why didn't I know what I know now?*

And you look at her, she looks at me
She's got me thinkin about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And if she carries on without a doubt
I'm wonderin if she's figured it out
I'm crazy for this girl
Ya, I'm crazy for this girl...

Right now, face to face
All my fears pushed aside
And right now, I'm ready to spend the rest of my life
With you...

Well, you look at her, she looks at me
She's got me thinkin about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And if she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she'll figure it out
I'm crazy for this girl
Ya, I'm crazy for this girl...

(music)

And you look at her, she looks at me
She's got me thinkin about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
And if she carries on without a doubt
I wonder if she's figured out
I'm crazy for this girl
Ya, I'm crazy for this girl...

Wow! I actually memorized it! Figures, since I listen to it every day!

*Don't know the actual lyrics to this line, that's just what it sounds like.

Also, I have a few requests:

Who Let the Dogs Out- Baha Men
Move it Like This- Baha Men
Best Years of Our Lives- Baha Men (again!)
Love is All You Need- Beetles (at least it's not the Baha Men!)
A Little Help From My Friends- Beetles
Imagine- John Lennon
Watchin the Wheels Go ROund and Round- John Lennon
Hot in Herre- Nelly
In the End (original form)- Linkin Park
Sweet Home Alabama- ???
That'll Be the Day (That I Die)- ???
Every Breath You Take- ???
I Will Follow Him- ???
Bad Bad Leroy Brown- Jim Crocce
Don't Say You Love Me- M2M

Ok, I guess that was a little more than "a few"!

American girls and American guys will always stand up and salute;
Will always recognize
When we see ol' glory flying,
There's a lot of men dead,
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head.

My daddy served in the army,
Where he lost his right eye.
But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died.
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy in the land of the free.

Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack.
A mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back.
Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye,
Man we lit up your world like the Fourth of July.

Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly,
And there's gonna be Hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell!
It's gonna feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you...
Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!

Oh, Justice will be served and the battle will rage.
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
You'll be sorry that you messed with the US of A
'Cuz we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way.

Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly,
And there's gonna be Hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell!
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you...
Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!

Of the Red, White and Blue..
Of my Red, White and Blue...

Knuckle Sandwich - American Song

Safety pinned patches of anarchy
Tattoos of unity
Can you see the irony of it all?
Hey there Mr. President
Even though I'm not your biggest fan
This song is a show of my support.

From New York to California
This song is an American Song.

I heard someone say 'I'm heading north
If this thing goes to war'.
The sleeve of his flight jacket had an American flag.
I guess that's what Ronnny Reagan meant
When he said the best offense is a good defense.
Do they sell gas masks at Home Depot?

From New York to California
This song is an American Song.
From New York to California
This song is an American Song.

Sometimes George, ya gotta be mean.
Forget about the voters who are hugging trees.
You gotta follow what's in your heart.
I know its hard, to be President
And hard to fill the shoes that Clinton left.
You gotta follow what's in your heart.

It's sad that it takes a tragedy
To restore faith in humanity
I was inspired to write this song, yeah.
To every American across the board
Who died on 9/11 or in past wars.
I wanna thank them all.

From New York to California
This song is an American Song.
From New York to California
This song is an American Song.

"Changes" not sure on title, goes something like "Time may change me, but I can't change time!"
You asked for it...
Changes by David Bowie
I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the stranger)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

How about this one? The DBGT theme.

(Translated)Bit by bit, you’re charming my heart
With that dazzling smile.
Let’s fly away from this endless darkness while you hold my hand.

When I first met you,
I remembered a place that I held dear when I was a child.
Won’t you dance with me?
On this winding road of light and shadow, are you still infatuated with him?
Although there were a few times where it seemed like I wanted to turn back,
Holding love, courage, and pride, I’ll fight!

Bit by bit, you’re charming my heart,
A fragment of the hopes of this world.
Surely, everyone wants to obtain immortality.
Even though I pretend I don’t care at all,
Hey, I’m falling in love with you!
Let’s fly away from this endless darkness, while I hold your hand.

Whether your expression is tired or angry, I still like you,
But I wonder if it’s all right to try so hard in life like that.
As for me...I’m tossed about by your casual gestures in the seaside blue.
Are you still infatuated with him?
I had something more that I wanted to ask, but
Our talk is interrupted by the sounds of cars, and wafts into the street.

Bit by bit, you’re charming my heart,
And though it’s somehow strange even to me,
There’s something there that makes me want to call you right away.
Even though I pretend I have no feelings at all,
In the end, the only thing I’ve seen is you.
Let’s fly away toward the sea, while you hold my hand!


I thought the original song was cool until I found the translated lyrics. What a downer!

The greatest song...ever.
"Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there, she knows if the stores are all closed
with a word she can get what she came for
Ooh-ooh-hoo, hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings sometimes
All of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder, ooh, makes me wonder-er-er-er-er-er

There's a feelin' I get when I look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
and the voices of those who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder, ooh, really makes me wonder

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
then the piper will lead us to reason
and a new day will dawn for those who stand long
and the forests will echo with laughter

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-hoh-oh

If there's a bustle in your hedge-row, don't be alarmed, now
It's just a spring-clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
nn-there's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder-a, oh-whoa-hoh

Your head is hummin' and it won't go
In case you don't know, the piper's callin' you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
and did you know your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind
Hoh-oh-oh

And as we wind on down the road
our shadows taller than our soul
there walks a lady we all know-ow
who shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
and if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah
to be a rock and not to roll-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem twisted when you're unwanted
The streets around you are home when you're down
When you're straaaaange...
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem twisted when you're unwanted
The streets around you are home when you're down

When you're straaaaange...
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem twisted when you're unwanted
The streets around you are home when you're down

When you're straaaaange...
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange

"Hit The Floor"

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you when I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I’ve held on what I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you said about me when I’m not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down
But I’ve had too many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand
So I’m waiting until the upper hand is mine


One minute you're on top
Next you're not watch you drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
Next you're not, missed your shot
Making you're heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone

So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the time
Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand
So I’m waiting until the upper hand is mine


One minute you're on top
Next you're not watch you drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
Next you're not, missed your shot
Making you're heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it’s all gone
Now it’s all gone

I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall


One minute you're on top
Next you're not watch you drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
Next you're not, you missed your shot
Making you're heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
And then it’s all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it’s all gone
Now it’s all gone

Some of my favorite song lyrics are Simple Plan - Perfect.


Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
Do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
'Cuz it hurst when you disapprove all doing

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spend with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
'Cuz you don't understand

I think a lot of people can relate to trying to be perfect for their parents. In reality, it's near impossible to live up to most parents' expectations.

"Automatic" by Collapsis (Just another attempt by me to bring the indie rock of 1999/2000 back to the "mainstream" :))

It's automatic
I never really had it, the love that grows in time.
Apophatic.
Cataphatic.
She's really not the tragic kind.

She's just waiting for love, but she hasn't got the time.
Maybe someday she's complain...

Don't say it to me now.
Shut up now.
Love will only break your heart.
Don't say it to me now.
Shut up now.
We were broken from the start.

It's automatic
I never really had it, the love that grows in time.
Apophatic.
Cataphatic.
She's really not the tragic kind.

She's just waiting for love, but she hasn't got a clue.
Maybe someday she's complain...

Don't say it to me now.
Shut up now.
Love will only break your heart.
Don't say it to me now.
Shut up now.
We were broken from the start.

It's automatic.
It's automatic.
It's automatic.
It's automatic, baby

All Star - by Smash Mouth

Someboy once told me the world was gunna throw me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well, the years start cumming and they don't stop cummin
Back to the rules and I'll hit the ground runnin
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head guts dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So much wrong with takin the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an all star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, the the show on, get payed
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold!

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now wait till you get older
But the medior men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satalite pitcher
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how bout yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored!

Hey now, you're an all star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, the the show on, get payed
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold!

(music)

Hey now, you're an all star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, the the show on, get payed
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars...

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place
I said "Yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change!"

Well, the years start cumming and they don't stop cummin
Back to the rules and I'll hit the ground runnin
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head guts dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So much wrong with takin the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go (GO!)
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an all star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star, the the show on, get payed
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold!

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold!

Rodeo Or Mexico
Written by: - Bryan Kennedy - Paul Kennerley - Garth Brooks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


For a change I headed south across the border
For the pesos and a different horse to ride
I'd be back to make the rodeo in Waco
But that was long before I saw them dark brown eyes

With long black hair and English bad and broken
Her body said the words she couldn't find
As I hung on every word she left unspoken
The question started leaning on mind

Chorus:
RODEO OR MEXICO
THEY BOTH CAN KEEP A COWBOY SATISFIED
RODEO OR MEXICO
THE ONLY WAY I KNOW HOW TO DECIDE
IS JUST GET ON AND RIDE

We danced all night beneath that sheet of cotton
And you just don't tell a girl like that goodbye
But the cowboy life ain't easily forgotten
Though lying there I couldn't help but wonder why

Repeat Chorus

The morning found the answer dawning on me
As I woke up to the sharp end of a knife
He was screaming at the woman hanging on me
Does anybody know the Spanish word for wife?

Repeat Chorus
---------------------------------------------------------------------The Beaches Of Cheyenne
Written by: - Dan Roberts - Bryan Kennedy - Garth Brooks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They packed up all his buckles
And shipped his saddle to his dad
And by the way the house looked
She must have took it bad
The workers come on Monday
To fix the door and patch the wall
They say she just went crazy
The night she got the call

He was up in Wyoming
And drew a bull no man could ride
He promised her he'd turn out
Well it turned out that he lied
And their dreams that they'd been livin'
In the California sand
Died right there beside him in Cheyenne

They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

They never found her body
Just her diary by her bed
It told about the fight they had
And the words that she had said
When he told her he was ridin'
She said then I don't give a damn
If you never come back from Cheyenne

They she just went crazy
Screamin' out his name
She ran out into the ocean
And to this day they claim
That you can go down by the water
And see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

Nobody can explain it
Some say she's still alive
They even claim they've seen her
On the shoreline late at night
So if you go down by the water
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

Every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne

Can someone please reply to my earlier requests? I also have a new one. I'm not quite sure the name of the song, but it has a soft, sad tune, and the chorus goes something like, "The sweet sound of silence". It's funny I like this song, because silence is one of the only two things in the whole world that scare me (the other is that girl).

I know a lot of songs by heart but just to annoy people ill put down the Animaniacs Theme song!


Its time for Animaniacs
and were zany to the max!
So just sit back and relax
Youll laugh till you collaspe
Were Animaniacs!
Come join the Warner Brothers and the Warner sister Dot!
Just for fun we run around the Warner Movie lot
They lock us in the tower, whenever we get caught!
But we break loose and then vamoose
and now you know the plot!
Were Animaniacs!
Dot is cute and Yakko Yaks
Wakko packs away the snacks
While Bill Clinton plays the sax
Were Animaniacs!
Meet Pinky and the Brain who want to rule the universe
Goodfeathers flock together, Slappy whacks em with her purse
Buttons chases Mindy while Rita sings a verse!
The writers flipped; We have no script
So why bother to rehearse?!
Were Animaniacs!
we have pay-or-play contracts
Theres balony in our slacks.

Totally Insaney

Heres the shows namey!
The Rain in Spainy!

Really all you have to do is a Google search, there are probably dozens of lyrics sites, and thousands dedicated to each band

For instance I put [Garfunkel lyrics "Sound of Silence"] into google (I put in Garfunkel because his name is more unique than Simon and put the title in quotes to keep the phrase togeter in Google) and the entire first page gave me excellent results from various pages.

"The Sound of Silence"
written by Paul Simon
performed by Simon & Garfunkel

Hello, darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision
That was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools," said I, "you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed in the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said: "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls,
And whisper'd in the sound of silence."


I only ever post lyrics here to show off the skills of the writers, usually by people you might not usually be exposed to such as.

The King of Carrot Flowers pt. 1
by Neutral Milk Hotel

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowers
and how you built a tower tumbling thru the trees
in holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

and your mom would stick a fork right into daddys shoulder
and your dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
as we would lay and learn what each others bodies were for

and this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love you
and from above you how I sank into your soul
into that secret place where noone dares to go

and your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
and dad would dream about the different ways to die
each one a little more than he could dare to try

"Horse to the Water" by George Harrison

You can take a horse to the water
But you can't make him drink
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no

A friend of mine
In so much misery
Some people sail through life
He has struck a leak
Said "Hey man, let's go out and get some wisdom"
First he turned on me
Then turned off his nervous system

And you can take a horse to the water, but
You can't make him drink
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
You can have it all laid down in front of you, but
Don't make it sink
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no

Someone I love has got a problem
Some people thirst for truth
He would like a drink
Say "Man, this could turn out to be risky"
He said "Everything's OK"
As he downed another bottle of whisky

And you can take a horse to the water, but
You can't make him drink
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
You can have it all stay down in front of you, but
Still don't make it think
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no

*Guitar Solo*

Preacher out there warning me 'bout Satan
Could be that he knows him
He acts like he's possessed
Said "Hey man, let's hear about God's realization for a change"
He said "We ain't got time for that,
First you must hear of the evils of fornication"

And you can take a horse to the water, but
You can't make him drink
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no,
You can have it all stay down in front of you, but
Still don't make it think
Oh no,
Oh no,
Oh no

Horse to the water
Can't make it drink
All stay down in front of you
Don't make it think...

Here are a trio of song about a very happy, cheerful topic: The end of the world.


Plague of Locusts by Harvey Danger

It's in Revelations one to twenty-two
Scorpions and hydra breathing fire at you
So mark your foreheads
Seven golden lampstands to light the fury from the sky
Kill your children
I know your works of labor
They can't say you

Throats are parched with smoke from golden sensa
Rivers lined with blood warm one to quench ya
From being in nothingness
Second woe has past
Look out! Look out!
The third one's coming up
Seal up the rightous and screw the wicked over
It's all over!

It's a plague of locusts
Hallijulah!
It's raining frogs
It's a boulder hail storm
Ha ha ha!
It's the wrath of God

The names are in the book not yours
Four horsemen ride the range
Hark! The herald angel's carnage
But pestilence and bloodshed
Wash away all of your mistakes
Beofre they cast your action flash
To the firey lake
And it's coming

And it's a plague of locusts
It's a plague of locusts
It's a plague of locusts
It's the wrath of God



We've Got a World That Swings by They Might Be Giants

Up at dawn
Still sleedy and yawning
Still the taste of wine
But then I remember you're mine and
I've got a world that's fine

What's before me
Routines that bore me
Punch the clock at eight
But what a lucky guy I am!
I've got a world that's great

Atom bombs
Cape Canaveral and false alarms
Half the universe is up in arms
So I'll flip a little due
Until I'm holding oyu

What's the hassle?
I'll buy the castle
We could live like kings
As long as we're together forever
I've got a world that
You've got a world that
We've got a world that swings

I'd like to take you on this wild, wonderful adventure
Fly like a kite through space
No strings
I don't want to lose that velvet ring
I've got a world that
You've got a world that
We've got a world that swings
We've got a world that swings
We've got a world that swings
We've got a world that swings
We've got a world that swings
We've got a world that swings
We've got a world that swings



Nobody's Fault by Aerosmith

Lord I must be dreaming
What else could this be?
Everybody's screaming
Running for the sea
Holy lands are sinking
Birds take to the sky
The prophets are all stinking drunk
I know the reason why

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Sh-- piled up to the knees

Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry

Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now they say it's Nobody's Fault

Old St. Andres
Seven years ago
Shove it up their kickers
Red light stop and go
Noble men of courage
Listen with their ears
Spoke but how discouraging
When no one really hears

One of these day's you'll be sorry
Too many houses on stilts
Three million years or just a story
Four on the floor up to the hilt

Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry

Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Eyes are full of desire
Mind is so ill at ease
Everything is on fire
Sh-- piled up in debris

California showtime
Five o'clock's the news
Everybody's concubine
Was prone to take a snooze

Out of rhyme or reason
Everyone's to blame
Children of the season
Don't be lame

Sorry, you're so sorry
Don't be sorry

Man has known it
Now he's blown it
Up-side down and hell's the only way
We did an awful job
And now we're just a little too late

Here's a song that I really love. I'll gladly share the lyrics with all of you.

R.E.M.

The Great Beyond
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I watch the stars fall silent from your eyes
all the sights that I have seen
I can't believe that I believed I wished that you could see
there's new planet in the solar system
there is nothing up my sleeve
I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing the punch lines that were never there
over my shoulder a piano falls
crashing to the ground

in all this talk of time, talk is fine
but I don't want to stay around
why can't we pantomime
just close our eyes and sleep sweet dreams
me and you with wings on our feet

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing out punch lines that were never there
over my shoulder a piano falls
crashing to the ground
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the humming birds to dance in bell
sweetest dreams of you
look into your stars
I'm looking into the moon

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing out punch lines that were never there
over my shoulder a piano falls
crashing to the ground
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great
answers from the great
Answers

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great
answers from the great
answers

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I'm an 80's freak so I'll share a couple
Both of them on the Vice City Soundtracks
and both of them great, great songs

Gold by Spandau Ballet

Thank you for coming home
I'm sorry that the chairs are all worn
I left them here I could have sworn
these are my salad days
slowly being eaten away
just another play for today
oh but I'm proud of you,but I'm proud of you
there's nothing left to make me feel small
luck has left me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructable
always believe in,because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructable,always believe in
after the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
remember we were partners in crime
it's only two years ago
the man with the suit and the pace
you know that he was there on the case
now he's in love with you,he's in love with you
and my love is like a prison wall
but you could leave me standing so tall
gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructable
always believe in,because you are
gold
glad that you're bound to return
there's something I could have learned
you're indestructable,always believe in






The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

Broken glass everywhere
People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care
I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise
Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice
Rats in the front room, roaches in the back
Junkie's in the alley with a baseball bat
I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far
Cause the man with the tow-truck repossessed my car

Chorus:
Don't push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under

Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the window
Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow
Crazy lady, livin' in a bag
Eating out of garbage pales, used to be a ***-hag
Search and test a tango, skips the light fandango,
To search a prince to seem to lost her senses
Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps
So she can tell the stories to the girls back home
She went to the city and got social security
She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own

Chorus:
It's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from goin' under

My brother's doing bad, sold my mother's T.V.
Says she watches to much, is just not healthy
All My Children in the daytime, Dallas at night
Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight
Bill collectors they ring my phone
And scare my wife when I'm not home
Got a bum education, double-digit inflation
Can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station
Neon King Kong standin' on my back
Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroiliac
Midrange, migrained, cancered membrane
Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might hijack a
plane!

Chorus:

My son said daddy I don't wanna go to school
Cause the teacher's a jerk, he must think I'm a fool
And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper
If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper
I dance to the beat, shuffle my feet
Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps
Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny
You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey
They pushed that girl in front of a train
Took her to a doctor, sowed the arm on again
Stabbed that man, right in his heart
Gave him a transplant before a brand new start
I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy after the dark
Keep my hand on the gun, cause they got me on the run
I feel like an outlaw, broke my last fast jaw
Hear them say you want some more, livin' on a seasaw

Chorus:

A child was born, with no state of mind
Blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you but he's frowning too,
Cause only god knows what you go through
You grow in the ghetto, living second rate
And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate
The places you play and where you stay
Looks like one great big alley way
You'll admire all the numberbook takers
THUGS, pimps and pushers and the big money makers
Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens
And you wanna grow up to be just like them
Smugglers, scramblers, burglars, gamblers
Pickpockets, peddlers and even pan-handlers
You say I'm cool, I'm no fool
But then you wind up dropping out of highschool
Now you're unemployed, all null 'n' void
Walking around like you're Pretty Boy Floyd
Turned stickup kid, look what you done did
Got send up for a eight year bid
Now your manhood is took and you're a Maytag
Spend the next two years as an undercover ***
Being used and abused, and served like hell
Till one day you was found hung dead in a cell
It was plain to see that your life was lost
You was cold and your body swung back and forth
But now your eyes sing the sad sad song
Of how you lived so fast and died so young

Chorus:
