lyrics thread ( not silly or trite)

[wahine]

Thought I'd do a new one...that I like...and you won't...

Ra
Do You Call My Name? *I sing it "scream" sorry for you*

Some people seem to think
They always know what's best for you
Their little minds try to
Create a world to keep you still

The bolt is thrown, the cage is locked
You saw this, don't you lie
At first you cry and then you hate
Those people stole your will

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
Cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
No nothing

Do you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymore

Do you call my name?
Do you breed my pain?
My heart is bloody
And I can't take it anymore

So you just sit there stuck
Afraid to risk reality
Afraid to cause yourself more pain
To face insanity

But nothing ventured, nothing gained
You see, your fear's your cage
You beg for help but you're alone
Stuck in a helpless rage

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
Cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario

(It's me)

(I see)

(Please)

(Let me out I'm petrified)

Do as you are told
And maybe then we'll let you out
You might be dead and cold
You might be full of doubt

Don't try to escape
Cuz you don't have nowhere to go
If nothing is your fate
There's no scenario
C'mon

Do you call my name?
Do you stain my brain?
My eyes are blurry
And I can't see you anymore

Nonsense really, but the music is great.

John Mayer - My Stupid Mouth

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see
She was offended
She said "well anyway..."
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh I'm never speaking up again
Starting now

A very trite song (got me soppy head on)

Oaisis- Songbird

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a place not far away
She's a little pilot in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
I never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

One of my faves too..........in fact....

*rummages through his cd collection*

I think it deserves another listen

The live version is best IMO (from the 95/96 European tour - think the album's called Headlights, White Lines, Black Tar Rivers?)

Definitely worth another listen & another & have some scotch with that eh?

Yup - that's the name of the album - for some reason I always want to say Headlines, White Lights, Black Tar Rivers - but a rumble through the cd box set me straight. Love he writing in the cd cover - I should stop, this is giving me flashbacks

All Possibilities - Badly Drawn Boy

All possibilities
Are landing at my feet
There's nothing I can see
But possibilities

All colours are changing in my eyes
Your hopes are all fading, that will never do
You're seeing the world through cynical eyes
I'm seeing the world through the eyes of somebody new
Oh there's a hope left, there's a dream still in my heart
Look past the answers, there's a chance that there's no rulebook for this love

All possibilities
Are landing at my feet
There's nothing I can see
But possibilities

All the colours are changing in my eyes
Your hopes are all fading, that will never do
You're seeing the world through cynical eyes
I'm seeing the world through the eyes of somebody new

Oh there's a hope left, there's a dream still in my heart
Look past the answers, there's a chance that there's no rulebook for this love

May I have this dance with you

I know it sounds corny but I like it

Exquisite Dead Guy by They Might Be Giants

Exquisite dead guy, outside my high-rise apartment
Exquisite dead guy, hanging from a sky-hook
Exquisite dead guy, rotating in his display case
Exquisite dead guy, swear I saw his mouth move
How'm I 'sposed to let you know... the way I feel... about you?
How'm I 'sposed to let you know... the way I feel... about you?

[Ornelírë Mistë]

The Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd is instrumental, but there are quiet parts with some words

"I'm not frightened of dyin', any time will do I dont mind. Why should I be frightened of dyin'? There's no reason for it we all got to go sometime."

"I never said I was frightened of dying."

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."

Get this song, it's on Dark Side of the Moon. I adore it.

[Miranda]

Just had to post one of my favourite songs in the world- "Never Be Mine" by Kate Bush.

I look at you and see
My life that might have been
Your face just ghostly in the smoke.
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home.
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here.

This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
The thrill and the hurting
I know that this will never be mine.

I want you as the dream
Not the reality
That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me
But I'm looking back over my shoulder
At you, happy without me.

This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
But I know that this will never be mine.

Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine
The thrill and the hurting
It will never be mine.
It can never be
The thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine.

Song : Beautiful Letdown

it was a beautiful let down
when i crashed and burned
when i found myself alone unknown and hurt
it was a beautiful letdown
the day i knew
that all the riches this world had to offer me
would never do

in a world full of bitter pain and bitter doubt
i was trying so hard to fit in, fit in,
until i found out
i don't belong here
i don't belong here
i will carry your cross and your song
but i don't belong

it was a beautiful letdown
when you found me here
yeah for once in a blue moon i see everything clear
i'll be your beautiful letdown
thats what i've ever been
and even if it costs my soul
i'll sing for free
we still chasin our tails in the rising time
in our dark third planet
when no one fights and no one's one

see i don't belong here
i will carry your cross and your song
but i don't belong here
i'm gonna set sight and set sail for the kingdom come
kingdom come
Your kingdom come
won't you let me down yeah
let my foolish proud
forever let me down

easy living not much left for pain
easy dieing hey they're just abou the same
won't you please take me off your list
easy living please come on and let me down

we are a beautiful let down,
painfully uncool,
the church of the dropouts
and loosers and sinners and failures and the fools
oh what a beautiful let down
all resolved in the womb
and join us He wants you too

I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
Feels like I don't belong here
Let me down
Let me down
Feels like I'm let down
Let me down.
cause I don't belong here
Please
Won't you let me down?

Song : Gone



she told him she'd rather fix her makeup
than try to fix what's going on
but the problem keeps on calling
even with the cellphone gone
she told him that she believes in living
bigger than she's living now
but her world keeps spinning backwards
and upsidedown
don't say so long in the cellphone
don't spend today away
cause today will soon be

gone, like yesterday is gone,
like history is
gone, just trying to prove me wrong
and pretend like your immortal

she said he said live like no tomorrow
every day we borrow
brings us one step closer to the edge (infinity)
where your treasure, where's your hope
forget the world and lose your soul
she pretends like she pretends like she's immortal
don't say so long
your not that far gone
this could be your big chance to makeup
today till soon be

gone, like yeterday is gone,
like history is gone,
the world keeps spinning on,
your going going gone,
like sumemr break is gone,
like saturday is gone
just trying to prove me wrong
you pretend like your immortal your immortal

we are not infinite
we are not permanate
nothing is immediate
we're so confident
in our accomplishments
look at how dark it is

gone, like Frank Sinatra
like Elvis and his mom
like Al Pichino's cash nothing lasts in this life
my highschool dreams are gone
my childhood sweets are gone
life is a day that doesn't last for long

life is more than money
time was never money
time was never cash,
life is still more than girls
life is more than hundred dollar bills
and oh the town fills
life more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
all the riches of the kings
and up in wills we got information in the information age
but do we know what life is
outside of our conveinent Lexus cages

she said he said live like no tomorrow
every moment that we borrow
brings us closer to the God who's not short of cash
hey Bono i'm glad you asked
life is still worth living, life is still worth living

[Ornelírë Mistë]

One of my favorites!
Artist: Talking Heads
Song: And She Was

And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house
Now she's starting to rise
Take a minute to concentrate
And she opens up her eyes

The world was moving and she was right there with it (and she was)
The world was moving she was floating above it (and she was) and she was

And she was drifting through the backyard
And she was taking off her dress
And she was moving very slowly
Rising up above the earth
Moving into the universe
Drifting this way and that
Not touching ground at all
Up above the yard

CHORUS

She was glad about it... no doubt about it
She isn't sure where she's gone
No time to think about what to tell them
No time to think about what she's done
And she was

And she was looking at herself
And things were looking like a movie
She had a pleasant elevation
She's moving out in all directions

CHORUS

Joining the world of missing persons (and she was)
Missing enough to feel alright (and she was)

[Celebréiel]

I love this song
This is not an Exit by Saves the Day

Tonight will be , the night that we
Begin to ease, the plugs out of the dam

And we will stand ,
knee deep in the flow
The undertow will grab
our heels and won't let go

And while we hold,
our legs quivering
The water rises now
to our teeth when we just let go

Chorus: And sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping our backs
To breathe in the air will be
The only thing that we have

And all the wasted nights
And empty moments in our lives
Flushed away
As we sway with the rhythm

Of the waves
Bobbing us up
Crests fall to troughs
Feel our gills open up

Chorus

And if the hook sets in
The bottom of our lungs
We'll rip it out and
Lick the blood off with our tongues

Despair
Can ravage you
If you turn your head around
And look down the path

That's led you here
Cause what can you change?
You're a vessel now
Floating down the waterways

You can take your rudder
And aim your ship
Just don't bother
With the things left in your wake

Just sail, belly up to the clouds
The rocks scraping your back
To the breathe in the air will be
The only thing that you have

And your love will be warm nights
With pockets of moonlight
Spotlighting you as you drift,
The actor in this play

And you walk across the stage
Take a bow and hear the applause
And as the curtain falls
Just know you did it all

The best that you knew how
And you can hear them cheerin' now
So let a smile and show your teeth
Cause you know you lived it well

song: GUYANA (CULT OF THE DAMNED)

(instrumental intro 1min)

Thank You For The Kool Aid Reverend Jim
We’re Glad To Leave Behind Their World Of Sin
Our Lifeless Bodies Fall On Holy Ground
Rotting Flesh A Sacrificial Mound
Were You Our God Or A Man In A Play
Who Took Our Applause And Forced Us To Stay
Now All Together We Lived As We Die
On Your Command By Your Side
Die By Your Side

Guyana In The Cult Of The Damned
Give Us Your Word
For The Grand Final Stand

In The Cult Of The Damned We All Worked The Land
Too Afraid To Look Up We All Feared His Hand
Hurry My Children There Isn’t Much Time
But We’ll Meet Again On The Other Side
Be Good To The Children And Old People First
Hand Them A Drink They’re Dying Of Thirst

Guyana In The Cult Of The Damned
Give Us Your Word For The Grand Final Stand

Bigfoot Bigfoot Thrown In A Well
Pulled Under Water Screaming Like Hell
He Told Us Life Was Just A Hotel
Time To Check Out When He Rang The Bell

Guyana In The Cult Of The Damned
Give Us Your Word For The Grand Final Stand

MANOWAR!!!!

Strangely enough I've had their song "Brothers of Metal" stuck in my head the whole day.

[DraztiK]

yeah, that happened to me all the time too, when I first startyed to listen to them. Now, it's usually "Hail and Kill", since it's chorus is a lot easier to remember

[Ragnarok]

Band: Opeth

Song: Black Rose Immortal

In the name of desperation
I call your name
A lamentation I sigh
Again and again

Spiritual eclipse
The gateways are closed for me to seek

The night...
A veil of stars, watching
My shadow is born from light
The light of the eye, in darkness

Over troubled waters memories soar
Endlessly, searching night and day
The moonlight caresses a lonely hill
With the calmness of a whisper

I wear a naked soul
A blank face in the streaming water
It is cold in here
Frost scar my coat with dust

Eyes attach to your mute portrait
We spoke only through thoughts
Together we gazed, awaited
Hours brought thirst and the rising sun

Sunbirds leave their dark recesses
Shadows glid the archways

Do not turn your face towards me
Confronting me with my lonliness
You are in a forest unknown
The secret orchard
And your voice is vast and achromatic
But still so precious

Lullaby of the crescent moon took you
Mesmerized, its kaleidoscopic face
Granted you a hollow stare
Another soul within the divine herd

I have kept it
The amaranth symbol
Hiddin inside the golden shrine
Until we rejoice in the meadow
Of the end
When we both walk the shadows
It will set ablaze and vanish
Black rose immortal

It is getting dark again
Dusk shuffle across the fields
The evening trees moan as if they knew
At night I always dream of you

[afro-elf]

I forgot this one by Rush

ARTIST: Rush
TITLE: The Trees


There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced the're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light

But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light

Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw

[Aralyn]

Anyone heard P.O.D.? Like Youth of a Nation

[wahine]

Sevendust-- B!tch

I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through

Don't tell me
I can't imagine to be like you
All the pain and the suffering I go through
You surround yourself with evil
Every night that you have is an equal

Don't hesitate
Or you'll live in your own hell
Out of my way
You're surrounded by evil
Don't hesitate
You can get away
Out of my way
Out of my way (huh)

The dark clouds that follow you
The rainy days will always find you
You can never get away
Evil comes another day

Don't hesitate
Or you live in your own hell
Out of my way you're surrounded by evil
Don't hesitate, you can't get away

I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through

Step up and
I can't imagine to be like you
All the pain and the suffering I go through
You surround yourself with evil
I hope it catches you up

I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through woah
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through WOAH!
I can't imagine to be like you
The pain and the suffering you put me through
