in September 15th, 2009 @ 14:04Name this, people? At least try?
I got this little kitty about 2 months back,
He was the nicest little kitty now a pain in my crack.
This little kitty is ninja always stalking my feet.
This little kitty is a warrior you know what I mean.
He’s an evil little kitty, look what he did to my hand.
Tries to get in trouble in any way that he can.
I can give this cat a toy but he’d rather have the wrapper.
When I always give him water but he still drinks from the crapper.
You could lock him in the closet and he just won’t care.
Kitty chews on my shoes and he licks on my hair.
Always scratching on my favorite chair and jumping on the couch.
Playing in the windowsills and tearing through the house
He is so full of energy and easily amused.
Kitty will attack anything that moves,
Causing trouble, starting battles just so he can be a part of
He’s the meanest little kitty so we named him Sparta.Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight,
Little bitty kitty want to bite, bite, bite.Where’d you go? Are you stalking me?
Are you under the couch? Quite possibly.
Ears laid back so you don’t get caught.
Ready to pounce my leg with everything you got.
I know you’re probably watching me from across the room.
Concentrating, contemplating on attacking me soon.
You’re not invisible kitty, I’m going to find you first.
Come out, come out, before I make things worse.
I’ve seen where you hide and I know where you’ve been.
Hey kitty why don’t you give in.
Even if you try to sneak up on me I’m prepared.
‘Cause I got my safety gear on and I’m not scared.
I think I hear a little kitty under the bed.
I know you’re making noises just to mess with my head.
You can stalk me all you want, but I’m not your prey.
You always seem to find me first, but not today.Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight?
Little bitty kitty want to bite, bite, bite.Come on now, I’m going get you now.
I’ve got him cornered and now he’s mine.
He’s not going to get away this time.
I’ll snatch him up fast and before he can blink.
And then, awww man, he’s a sleep in the sink.
What is with this cat? I’m confused.
He’s got a bed but its never been used.
In every waking moment kitty is up for the fight.
Then next minute kitty’s out like a light.
How could I let this little creature inside of my home.
I got to keep an eye on him when I’m on the phone.
I’m a little afraid to leave this cat all alone.
This kitty may destroy everything that I own.
Look at him now, I kind of feel bad.
He’s the best little cat that I’ve had
And the one big thing I forgot to mention
Was that he wasn’t fighting.
He just wanted attention.Hey little Sparta what is with all the fight?
Little bitty kitty want to bite, bite, bite.Showing love, that’s all this kitty does.

in September 15th, 2009 @ 15:50This one just might be impossible.
I’ll buy you six bay mares to put in your stable;
Six golden apples bought with my pay.
I am the first piper who calls the sweet tune.
But I must be gone by the seventh day.
CHORUS
So come on-I’m the Whistler.
I have a fife and a drum to play.
Get ready-I’m the Whistler.
I whistle along on the seventh day.All kinds of sadness I’ve left behind me.
Many’s the day when I have done wrong.
But I’ll be yours for ever and ever.
Climb in the saddle and whistle along.CHORUS
Deep red are the sunsets in mystical places.
Black are the nights on summer-day sands.
We’ll find the speck of truth in each riddle:
Hold the first grain of love in our hands.
CHORUS

in September 15th, 2009 @ 16:28The Whistler, by Jethro Tull, from the album Songs From The Wood. Excellent album, albeit not what Tull are best at (namely hard rock à la Aqualung).
My turn! Let’s see… Ah. I won’t post the whole thing, just the first verse. Should be enough.
I was down at the New Amsterdam
I was staring at this yellow-haired girl,
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays
guitar, she’s suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautifulDifficult to write them out, as the singer from this particular band has a pretty liberal interpretation of metric rule.

in September 15th, 2009 @ 17:29I’ve heard that song before many times because it’s one of the few my dad can play on the guitar but I can’t name it!!! Argh!!! I’m terrible at remembering songs by name…if it comes to me I’ll definitely let you know though…the only part I do know is that the chorus involves Mr. Jones and Me but I’m not sure if that’s the title or not.

Tuesday afternoon is never-ending.
Wednesday morning, papers didn’t come.
Thursday night, your stockings needed mending.
See how they run.What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song,
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.

in September 15th, 2009 @ 17:10I hereby bet that no one will be able to guess this one without the help of Google. Well, the song title is fairly obvious, but not the band.
They clustered ’round in fours
Hands full of mud and straw
Pushing it together
To make those great big walls
An armful of sand
Slips upon the table
And your skin is rough and broken so
A little blood will fall
A little blood will fall
A little blood will fall into the bricksLord, you know I’m right
I’ll be tickling your chin
Close enough to see what you look like
“Give up your foolish dreamâ€
That’s what my father said
I told him I’m the builder
I am not the architectCHORUS
In the middle of the night, sometimes
I’m thrust rudely into awareness
A tall, gray doorway opens to the stars
At the foot of my bed
I’m afraid to catch my head
On the clouds at the top of the skyPeople are so malleable
When you know the power of words
“Malleus†is “hammerâ€
So that’s how I get heard
Maria’s girl fell down, and I don’t think she’s getting up
Wee only made two feet today
Do you think that it’s enough?
Do you think that it’s enough?
Do you think that it’s enough,
Do you think?Don’t you want to scrape the paint on the globe that spans the sky?
Don’t you want to see what lies beyond before you die?
I can only grieve for the hopes that lie as dead
I am not the author, friends, these are just the words I read
These are just the words I readCHORUS

in September 15th, 2009 @ 17:10Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve played the silver ball…
No more should be necessary.
Two songs with the same story, derived from the same source:
The lady sits by her own front door, straight as a willow wand
when along there comes a lusty smith, his hammer in his hand~~~
Hello, hello, hello, hello, you coal blacksmith
you have done me no harm
you never shall have my maiden’s name
that I have kept so long.
And I will die a maid, she said
and be buried all in my grave.
Than I’d have such a
nasty
husky
dusky
musty
fusty
coal black smith
a maiden I will die~~~~~
We use both of those songs for a molly dance, Lord of the Fives. ‘Tis fun.

Fortunately, the last round seems to have inoculated me to that particular song. In fact, I told someone about the incident not long ago with no ill effect. But seeing your post did give me a good laugh.

in September 20th, 2009 @ 12:49The second and third were variations of the Chylde Ballad The Two Magicians. I thought there was a chance of the more folk-inclined inhabitants of the MB guessing them, but I guess I was out of luck.

in September 15th, 2009 @ 19:13I have two! The first I, again, defy anyone to know without Google-ing it, because it’s really obscure, unless you’re into REALLY obscure music, in which case, it’s one of the most well-known songs in that (small) genre. Anyhoo, here we go (by the way, it’s technically not lyrics, but they’re words and in a song, so there. And it’s post-apocalyptic and depressing, and that’s why it’s so brilliant.)
The car’s on fire,
And there’s no driver at the wheel,
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides,
And a dark wind blows.The government is corrupt,
And we’re all so many drunks with the radio on and the curtains drawn.
We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine,
And the machine is bleeding to death.The sun is fallen down,
And the billboards are all leering,
And the flags are all dead
At the top of their poles.And it goes on… Anyways, that’s definitely easy to find by Google-ing, but I wanna know if anyone knows it without Google.
This next one I allow you to use Google on. I want you to use Google. I don’t know the name of this song, so help me! I don’t even know any words to it, just the “chorus”, if you can call it that.
It goes:
La, la, la. La-la-la-la-la-la-la la, la, la.
Etcetera, ad nauseum. It’s some kind of dance song, but I don’t know the title, or any more words. For anyone musically inclined, it’s something like: C, G, Eb (quarter notes), then Eb-D-Eb-F-Eb-D-C (eighth notes), then repeated (you play the C twice). Possibly it has to with going around the world. Help!
So yeah. Enjoy.

Hiding its guiding light high.Heaven and earth to sleep
Still in the dark so deep
I will the darkness sweepI will the moon to flight
I will the heavens bright
I will the earth to lightOpen your eyes with me
See paradise with me
Wake and arise with me(Song incomplete. Chorus and some meaningless sounds left out. Probably more, but I’m too lazy to look that up.)

in September 15th, 2009 @ 19:32If you see a sailin’ ship it might be your last
just get your civvies ready for another round ashore
a sailor ain’t a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore.——
though my sails be torn and tattered
and my mast be turned about
let the night wind chill me to my very soul
and though the spray might sting my eyes
and the stars no light provide
give me just another morning light to hold
for I will not lie me down
this rain a-ragin’
I will not lie me down
in such a storm
and though this night be unblessed
I will not take my rest
until we reach another shore

in September 15th, 2009 @ 20:38Where there’s live, there’s hope
Everyday’s, a gift
Wishes can, come true
Whistle while, you work, so hard, all day to be like other girls.
To fit-in in this glittering world
———————————————-
Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes,
They’ve got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses.
And what’s with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies, bunnies,
It must be bunnies!
…Or maybe midgets.
—————————–
Is it sinful if you’re blue
To cheer up the place?
What is wrong with dressing up in satin and lace?
Get some earrings, some mascara, heels and a fan.
Pretty soon you will start to feel a different man.What the h***s wrong with expressing yourself?
Being who you want to be?
Will anybody die if you put on a dress?
Who the hell cares if your blush is a mess?Start a new fashion, buck all the trends.
Emphasize in-teg-rit-eeeee.

in September 15th, 2009 @ 21:14Obvious one:
“Well you dawned on me, you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I’m trying to get backBefore the cool done run out I’ll be giving it my bestest
And nothing’s gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn
To win some or learn some…”~~~
Another:
“I’m just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I’d rather swim ashoreWithout a life vest I’d be lost again
Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim
Like *fourteen miles away* ”Get ’em?

in September 15th, 2009 @ 21:46I doubt anyone will get this one:
Sing me a song of American dreams and I’ll sing you a song of fear
Send me your weak and your poor and your tired and we’ll kick ’em out of here
We’ve got no room for your huddled masses, we’ve got no help for you
Unless you’ve got money or god on your side, we will not see you throughLady, lady with your torch held high, your flame is burning low
You said you’d harbor us safe in your arms, oh why did you let us go?
They’ve taken your name and left a hollow frame where liberty once stood
They say it’s every man for himself now, to hell with the common good[chorus] America the beautiful, America the strong
We are the dispossessed, the long oppressed
Why do you do us wrong?
America, the land of the free, you’ve forgotten we’re your blood
But we will join together one by one until a drop becomes a floodWho’s gonna save you now, I ask, from the shame of all your lies?
You say you speak the word of god, but it’s just hatred in disguise
We used to be a beacon of hope shining across the sea
But we shed the blood of the innocent now in the name of democracyA nation so young, you’ve forgotten it seems you were forged in rebellion’s flame
Now we’re told to say yes, turn away, and sit down, that we all must think the same
But we will raise our voices one by one and sing out loud and clear
We are the people, we will speak our minds and we won’t be bought by fear[last chorus] America the beautiful, do you hear our song?
We are the dispossessed, the long oppressed
Why do you do us wrong?
America, the land of the free, you’ve forgotten we’re your blood
But we’ll join together one by one until a drop becomes a floodHere’s just a part of a song because I’m feeling lazy. (I just wrote a huge paper.)
I used to think that we lived at the top of the world
When the world was just a subway map
And the 1/9 traced a dotted line to our house
There’s no 9 train anymore
Right
I used to think that the Bronx was a place in the sky
When the world was just a subway map
Can you remind me of what it was like
At the top of the world?
Come with me.(Yes, there are two people singing. And yes, that’s a hint.)
I doubt people will get those, though. They’re kind of obscure.

in September 15th, 2009 @ 23:071. The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I’ll drop a line————————————————–
2. Well I’ve opened up my veins too many times
And the poison’s in my heart and in my mind
Poison’s in my bloodstream, poison’s in my pride
I’m after rebellion, I’ll settle for lies————————————————–
3. Do your demons
Do they ever let you go
When you’ve tried do they hide deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You’re just a picture
you’re an image caught in time
We’re a lie you and I
We walk on without a ride————————————————–
4. See the sun shine in wintertime
See snow falling in summertime
It’s all crazy like our minds
All this anger makes us blind
For all these poisons that are mine
I know I can not rewind
As I struggle to be more kind
As the train lies
And I mess around
I’m so young but not without a sound
been seen double, keeping me down
I fiddle with a thought
But not without a sound————————————————–
5. Live another day, learn another lesson
Ain’t no need to get my mental status cold stressin
That it’s so ill that it’s fo’-real that it’s
No skill displayed, de shades gone now
So it’s time to build my own umbrella
Tell it tell her hella mellow fellows loungin
Better bread I never fled a header of the sounds and
All I wanna do is run my own universe
Grab the mic and let my spirit just FLOCK when I croon a verse

in September 16th, 2009 @ 11:35Great song: can you guess it? From near the end:
“Then Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White and
“Monty Python and the Holy Grail”‘s Black Knight and
Benito Mussolini and The Blue Meanie and
Cowboy Curtis and Jambi the Genie
Robocop, the Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader
Lo Pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger
Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan,
Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
All came out of no where lightning fast
And they kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy a**
It was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw
With civilians looking on total aweThe fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
The champion stood, the rest saw their better:
Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater”… cheah. Awesomeness.

in September 20th, 2009 @ 12:4743.1 — Dude, it’s Coldplay. Everyone has to like everything of theirs.
So this thread has gotten out of control, and I do take partial responsibility. (Not waiting until the previous song was guessed.) May I suggest that we start saying that noone’s allowed to post new lyrics without the one before them being guessed, or a 3-day limit being up? Then, after the 3 days, people would go back and write down the answers for their songs, providing they weren’t guessed. I think it’d work better. I’m going to go answer mine now, because at this point nobody’s going to try.

I will be a brave companion.I love this song in part simply because I don’t get it. I’m sure there’s story behind it, but it doesn’t make much sense.

in September 20th, 2009 @ 16:49An important thing is to post songs that people should be able to get, not obscure internet memes or whatnot just for the heck of it. I still can’t believe no one got mine, the hint was a dead giveaway. Oasis, anyone?? What’s The Story, Morning Glory? Geez.

in September 21st, 2009 @ 03:04If it’s a game the point should be to post songs that other people can actually guess, and not show off the obscure stuff you know. I could post troll bands from Norway who go around chanting in forests and whatnot that you’ve never even heard of, but the point is to enable people to guess. Hence my choice of something as popular as Oasis, but not as obvious as a line from Wonderwall.

in September 21st, 2009 @ 07:37Yes, but what is obvious to one person may be obscure to another. For instance, I’m not sure if I’ve heard of Oasis (much less know the lyrics to their songs), so that’s obscure to me. And you most likely don’t know who Bacilos are, while they are rather well-known to me. Obscurity is entirely relative.

in September 22nd, 2009 @ 02:19No, it isn’t. An obscure band is one unknown to the majority of people, for a variety of reasons. They might not have good label backing, they might just not be popular, whatever. Obscurity is measured on a global scale. And more people know Oasis than the Bacilos.

in September 22nd, 2009 @ 07:47More people know Oasis than Bacilos? Try telling that to someone in eastern Mexico. Or Miami. Or Puerto Rico. Many of them have probably never heard of Oasis while they have heard Bacilos rather often. By your points that obscurity means that A. less than half of people know the band, and B. that it is measured on a global scale, then I don’t know of any non-obscure bands.
Besides, this is just a game, Fridgey. Chill. It’s for fun, remember?

in September 22nd, 2009 @ 11:41Compare record sales. Oasis are a worldwide hit, they launched an entire genre, and just because some locals in Eastern Mexico, Miami and Puerto Rico have a crush for a Latin band doesn’t change the nature of “obscurity”.
Yes, it’s a game. Games need some sort of structure or they don’t work.

in September 22nd, 2009 @ 17:27Look, I’ve never heard of Oasis, so they are obscure to me. You’ve not heard of Bacilos, so they’re obscure to you. In the end, it doesn’t matter. It’s a game. We have a basic structure–post some lyrics, see if people can guess what song it is. If they can, great. If they can’t, we move on.
As for “worldwide hit”, I could use Namie Amuro, or Ayumi Hamasaki, or Café Tacuba, or a dozen other groups that are loved in numerous countries, but they still may be “obscure”. As I’ve said, obscurity is relative. Let’s just play the game.

in September 22nd, 2009 @ 18:31I’m sure people in Tibet don’t know who Miley Cyrus is (Or whatever she’s calling herself now.). Really, it’s all relative. That’s why I gave up on the concept of place loong ago. It’s either “here” or “not here”. After all, if you’re facing opposite ways, right=left. I haven’t heard of either Oasis or Bacilos. And I’m sure most of you haven’t heard of Lynn Ahrens & Stephen Flaherty. You’ve probably heard some of their music, but you probably haven’t heard of them.

Elias Eiholzer-Silver
in September 23rd, 2009 @ 01:24now you’ve upset me. Obscurity is NOT relative. An obscure band is one limited to a few local markets without international coverage and promotion. You don’t measure obscurity by your own knowledge, because you can purposefully focus on listening to only obscure music (like I do to a certain extent with Metal). Just because I know a band like, say, Thrice, doesn’t mean that it isn’t obscure, and just because I’ve never heard of, say, Dokken doesn’t mean that they’re obscure, because Dokken are a stronger globalizing force in the international music business.
In addition, taking grotty little out of the way countries like Tibet as an example of “oh look, these people don’t know the chart toppers of the 90s, so obscurity is relative” is an ad hoc exception, and a pretty big fallacy.
As far as those who claim not to know Oasis… Youtube “Wonderwall”, I’m sure you’ve heard it somewhere. That single was the biggest hit in the 90s.

Piggy
in September 24th, 2009 @ 22:22So you’re saying that, as long as a band is known in more than one country, it’s instantly not obscure? Obscurity varies from place to place. A famous band in, say, France would be very obscure in the US, and the most popular band in Japan would be almost completely unknown in Germany. For instance, Namie Amuro was, at the highest point in her career, known as the Teen Queen of Japan, and Hamasaki is known as the Empress of Pop. But outside of Japan, they’re obscure. Oh, and I listened to “Wonderwall”. Never heard it in my life. Sorry.

in September 25th, 2009 @ 00:15No, I’m saying that obscurity is not measured by the individual’s tastes and awareness. You’re changing your argument now. Of course bands can be “big in Europe” or whatever. That’s why the countries differentiate between national charts and international charts. The music market is different for the two levels. However, it doesn’t count as “obscure” outside just because it’s local. It counts as “unknown”. Obscurity is a different concept.

in September 25th, 2009 @ 07:07I have never, ever, heard of Oasis. Just pointing out that it may be well known, but people (such as myself) have never heard of it.
To be fair, I’ve never heard of Bacilos, either.
As for obscurity? Chill. It doesn’t matter whether a song somebody posts is really, really, really well known, or if it is “obscure”. Honestly, I could see how it being obscure would make it lots more fun. If it’s too well known, there’s not a whole heck of a lot of difficulty in guessing a song, is there?
Now, if you all don’t mind, I am removing myself from this argument, before I say something I regret, as I am in a *very* bad mood right this moment. [read: approaching a homicidal rage directed at my roommate]

And eyes that burn like cigarettesI want a girl with the right allocations
Who’s fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack
She’s playing with her jewelry
She’s putting up her hair
She’s touring the facility
And picking up slack[chorus that would give it away]
I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
Who used a machette to cut through red tape
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glassAnybody guess this? I bet it’s not too hard. (And no, that’s not all of the song).

in September 21st, 2009 @ 20:03Umm… My turn again!
Okay, since someone’s already posted an Owl City song, I shall not, but I shall post several other songs.
#1 – these are the only words in this song. The title is in the words, but that’s not important.
I’ve been rapping for about seventeen years, okay? I don’t write my stuff anymore, I just kick it from my head (you know what I’m saying?) I can do that. No disrespect, but that’s how I am.
#2 – Obscure, kind of, but it was free on iTunes a long time ago, if anyone keeps up with that.
I know you sat alone
So many nights, waiting for me.
Cold, your face like a stone,
I hang up the phone
When we disagree.…
Shiny and black
Like shoes on a rack
With a trigger that’s
Dressed up in gold.
It’s always warm
Inside my home
But its handle
Is always so cold.#3 – this is an indie band, but they were fairly big.
You didn’t like the business,
But there was that first glance.
Your pillow feels so soft now,
But still you must advance.
This pinstriped man of morning;
The partners in the dance;
The papers shot to pieces;
The kids don’t stand a chance.#4 – She’s just awesome. Last one, I promise.
Some said the local lake had been enchanted
Others said that it must have been the weather
The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet
But I swear that I could hear the laughter
So they joked and called it The Porridge
‘Cause of a night that lake had turned as thick as butterBut the local kids would still go swimming
Drinking
Saying that to them it doesn’t matterIf you just hold in your breath
Till you come back up in full
Hold in your breath
Until you started to you foolThe genius next door was busing tables
Wiping clean the ketchup bottle lables
Getting high and mumbling German fables
Didn’t care as long as he was able.
To strip his clothes off by the dumpster
At night while everyone was sleeping
And wade midway into that porridge
Just him and his secret he was keepingIf you just hold in your breath
Till you come back up in full
Hold in your breath
Till you started to you foolish childIt continues, but I really just wanted the second verse, with the first as context. Anyways. Go for it. I hope someone knows at least one song, but people are free to continue.

So… Another one.
This one should be very obvious, it even has the title in the lyrics case you don’t know.Ground control to Major Tom Ground control to Major Tom:
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom: Commencing countdown engine’s on
Check ignition and may God’s love be with youThis is ground control to Major Tom, you’ve really made the grade!
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear,
Now it’s time to leave the capsule if you dareThis is Major Tom to ground control, I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different todayFor here am I sitting in a tin can, far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can doAll right, actually, no naming unless you actually would know this song anyway, it’s too obvious otherwise.

but it seems I’ve got everyone fooled
Every time I say something they find hard to hear
They chalk it up to my anger and
Never to their own fear and imagine you’re a girl

Knowing full well they prefer you were dirty
and smiling, and I am sorry
I am not a maiden fair
And I am not a kitten
Stuck up in a tree somewhere”

——————————————-
Where there’s life
There’s hope
Everyday’s
A gift
Wishes can
Come true
Whistle while
You work
So hard, all day
To be like other girls
To fit in in this glittering world
———————————————-
Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes,
They’ve got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what’s with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies,
Bunnies,
It must be bunnies!…Or maybe midgets
—————————–
Is it sinful if you’re blue
To cheer up the place?
What is wrong with dressing up in satin and lace?
Get some earrings, some mascara, heels and a fan
Pretty soon you will start to feel a different manWhat the h***s wrong with expressing yourself?
Being who you want to be?
Will anybody die if you put on a dress?
Who the h*** cares if your blush is a mess?Start a new fashion, buck all the trends
Emphasize in-teg-rit-eeeee

in September 23rd, 2009 @ 16:34There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to bewareI think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going downThere’s battle lines being drawn
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behindI think it’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s goin’ down…It’s about the ani-war protest in the 1970s at Kent University in Ohio, where four college students ended up being murdered with guns by policemen.

in September 23rd, 2009 @ 16:49Not Kent State; the song was a hit in 1967, three years before that happened. It must have been an earlier protest. (Another minor correction: The Kent State shootings were by National Guard troops, not by police. Some of them later said that they had been trying to aim over the heads of the crowd.)

in September 24th, 2009 @ 22:05Everybody’s druuuunk
Everybody’s drunk tonight
Everybody’s druuuunk
Everybody’s drunk tonight!And if you’re coming here…
Don’t forget to have
Yourself a beer!There’s two girls
Throwin’ up in the bathroom
A good friend holds your head back
When you puke
Tonight’s the night
So grab your whatever
Lift your something
Here’s a toast to you!WE’RE ALL GONNA GET DRUNK!
OH! WE’RE ALL GONNA GET DRUNK!
OH WAIT WE’RE ALREADY…
DRUUUUUNK!I’m sure that the name of the song is pretty obvious, and I’d not be too surprised if anyone knew the band. Fun song, though. The bit in caps is sung to the tune of the chorus of Twisted Sister’s We’re Not Gonna Take It.

“A dustland fairytale beginning
with just another white trash county kiss
in ’61, long brown hair, and foolish eyes
And he looked just like you’d want him to,
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
Blue jean serenade, moon river, what you’ve done to me
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the Devil wrap around his chest
He’s getting ready for a showdown”

in September 27th, 2009 @ 09:32One of my favorite songs by…them:
Wednesday morning at five o’clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hope would say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is freeShe (We gave her most of our lives)
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She’s leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, byeFather snores as his wife gets into the dressing gown
Picks up the leter that’s lying there
Standing alone at the top of the stairs
She breaks down and cries to her husband
Daddy, our baby’s gone
Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly
How could she do this to meShe (We never thought of ourselves)
is leaving (Never a thought for ourselves)
home (We gave her everything money could buy)
She’s leaving home after living alone for so many years. Bye, byeFriday morning at nine o’clock she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment she made
Meeting a man from a motor tradeShe (What did we do that was wrong)
Is having (We didn’t know it was wrong)
Fun (Fun is the one thing that money can’t buy)Something inside that was always denied for so many years
She’s leaving home, bye, bye.

in September 27th, 2009 @ 17:02An easier one from me, but not the whole song:
The air is charged
A humid, motionless mass
The crowds and the cameras,
The cars full of spectators pass
Excitement so thick you could cut it with a knife
Technology…high, on the leading edge of lifeThe earth beneath us starts to tremble
With the spreading of a low black cloud
A thunderous roar shakes the air
Like the whole world exploding

If you say I aim too high from down below
Well say it now ’cause when I’m gone
You’ll be calling but I won’t be at the phone.A band that had a hit on mainstream radio:
I never want to be part of the herd
I guess that was in case you hadn’t heard
Maybe you can tell that I can’t stand
The way I want to be the included
I always wanna be a mystery
I always knew that two and two made three
I wish away the time I’m living in
I never want to see that smile again.Not a hit by a band that recently sold out:
I got you runaway smile in my piggy bank, baby
Gonna cash it right in for a new Mercedes
You were worth a hundred thousand miles
But you couldn’t stay a while.

And also the one for sorrow/two for joy (or one for sadness/two for mirth, depending on your version).
I like the lyrics though, so off to google.

Hmm. Here’s one of my FAVORITE songs which I will be disappointed if no one gets ( and NO, Pseudo, it is NOT one of my stupid pop songs! )Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stayed up too late and I’m too thin
We promised each other it’s till the end
Now we’re spinning empty bottles it’s the 5 of us
With pretty-eyed boys girls die to trust
And I can’t resist the day
And I can’t resist the day
Jenny screams out and it’s no pose
Cuz when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
And I’m so excited I haven’t spoken and she’s so pretty and she’s so sure
Maybe I’m more clever than a girl like her
The summer is ending soon
The summer is all in bloom

The only non-Beatles country song I can stand:
In the year of ’39, assembled here the Volunteers,
in the days when the lands were few.
Here the ships sail out to the blue and sunny morn,
Sweetest sight ever seen.
And the night followed day,
And the story-tellers say,
that the score brave souls inside,
For many lonely days,
Sailed across the milky sea,
Ne’er looked back, never feared, never cried.Don’t you hear my call, though you’re many years away,
Don’t you hear me calling you?
Write your letters in the sand, for the I’ll take your hand,

So come with me we’ll go and see the ************************In the *********************** there’s a land that’s fair and bright
Where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars are all empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees
Where the lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the *************************In the *********************** all the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft boiled eggs
The farmer’s trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
Oh, I’m bound to go where there ain’t no snow
Where the rain don’t fall and the wind don’t blow
In the ****************************In the ************************** you never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol come a-trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
There’s a lake of stew and of whiskey too
You can paddle all around ’em in a big canoe
In the ************************In the ************************ the jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain’t no short handled shovels, no axes saws or picks
I’m a goin to stay where you sleep all day
Where they hung the jerk that invented work

Slow it down some
No split clown bum
Your gold hit sound dumb
Hold it now!!! Crown ‘Em
Where you found them at?
Got ’em ’round town
Could’ve drowned in it
Woulda floated bloated
Voted sugar coated
Loaded hip shooter
Draw for the poor
Free coffee at the banks
Hit through the straw
None more for me, thanks
That blanks the raw
That dank sure stank lit
Sank passed the pit for more hardcore prank spit
Crank it on blast
Roll past front street
Blew the whole spot
Like some old ass with skunk meat
These kids is too fast
Juiced off of junk treat
Who could get looser off a crunk or a funk beat?

It’s like, a criminal’s paradise.
And I have realized that it would be considerably easier to guess the second song if you have the chorus, so:
Something has started today
Where did it go, while you want it to be?
Well you know November has come
When it’s gone away..That should make it like, 5 times easier.

Do you know what it feels like being alone?If you get all three, I will give you 500 song points. Note: it has to be all three at once. I will not give out points if you only guess 1 or 2.
BONUS: I recently got something that has to do with all of these songs What was it?

So THAT’S why I seem to have heard it. My friend always posts it on her status on AIM…she likes very obscure bands, such as Escape the Fate and You Me at Six.

in December 11th, 2009 @ 20:22Random song to guess:
“The cake is on the table.
And it is awfully bright,
’cause there’s so many candles
on top.
But you are so decrepit,
your chest so tight,
when you blow them out
your lungs are gonna pop!
You cannot complain
each time you feel a pain,
though you have arthritis
and gout.
‘Cause when you start kvetching
all your teeth fall out!”

in December 18th, 2009 @ 11:29Okay, here’s one I’m not expecting anyone to guess correctly, so the GAPAs can if
they thinkthey know.
It’s a theme song by the way, and this is only part of it.
♫ I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose drinking fresh mango juice. Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes, fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.♫

Down below the cars in the city go rushing by (rushing by)
I sit here alone and I wonder why
Friday night and everyone’s movin’
I can feel the heat but it’s soothing, heading down
I search for the beat in this dirty town…And if anyone gets this one without Google, I will love you forever:
Even an angel can end up falling
Don’t you cry because you’re crawling
Start again, it’s a beautiful morning
For [name of song]…

in December 19th, 2009 @ 10:50This song is so beautiful. I cry every time I listen to it. It’s doubly sad, though, once you know who is singing it and who that person is singing about.
And if I said, I really knew you well
what would your answer be, If you were here today?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, Here today.Well, knowing you, you’d probably laugh and say
that we were worlds apart. If you were here today.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, Here today.But as for me, I still remember how it was before.
And I am holding back the tears no more.
No, no, no.
I love you.What about the time we met?
Well, I suppose that you can say that we were playing hard to get.
Didn’t understand a thing
but we could always sing.
What about the night we cried,
Because there wasn’t any reason left to keep it all inside?
Never understood a word.
But you were always there, with a smile.And if I say, I really loved you
and was glad you came along. If you were here today.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, For you were in my song.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, Here today.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don’t care, I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain’t comin’ back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me…

VERSE 1:
Here
Comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your ownYou
Answer you
Your cheeks are shaded pink
While the rest of you in powder bluePRE-CHORUS:
Who knows
What will be
But I’ll make
You this guarantee
SeeCHORUS
There’s no way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it’s obvious why
No-one wants to be alone at ChristmastimeVERSE 2:
In the dark
On the phone
You tell me the names of your brothers
And your favorite colors
I’m learning youWhen
It snows again
We’ll take a walk outside
And search the sky like children do
I’ll say to youCHORUS 2
No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it’s obvious why
No-one wants to be alone at Christmastime
And come January we’re frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February won’t you be my valentine?
And we’ll both be safe ’till St. Patrick’s Day

kiwimuncher (4 B-Day points) (50 Muszey points)
in December 29th, 2009 @ 14:58Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeveShe didn’t recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried.We took her groceries to the checkout stand
The food was totalled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation dragged.We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn’t find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car.We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.She said she’d married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn’t like to lie.I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn’t sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude.She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was hell.We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
And tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how.We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving in our eloquence
Another ‘auld lang syne’…The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away.Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain —

in January 13th, 2010 @ 08:30Same Old Lang Syne. Try this:
She had excuses and she chose to use them
And she was the victim of unspeakable abuses
Her husband was violent, malicious and distant
Her kids now belong to ************************!!They’ve been taken awaay! (Hey!)
They’ve been taken awaay! (Hey!)
They’ve been taken awaay! (Hey!)Billy was the bright one
Tommy’s off his head
Mother loved them both the same, at least that’s what she said
I don’t predict the future, i don’t care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you had your chanceThe posion took your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night!I suppose you’ve been a victim
Though I suspect you may have lied
Have you lost all ambition why don’t you give this thing a try
If you can’t and you fail won’t be the only loser
These kids don’t stand a chance with you in their future!

in January 13th, 2010 @ 10:26This is disjointed verses from one song. I took out the clues of it, though I can post the clue-parts if needed.
I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
Even though you broke my heart
And killed me
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for youNow these points of data make a beautiful line
And we’re out of beta
We’re releasing on time
So I’m GLaD. I got burned
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still aliveLook at me still talking
when there’s Science to do
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I’m not you
I’ve experiments to run
There is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me I am still alive
I’m doing Science and I’m still alive
I feel FANTASTIC and I’m still alive
While you’re dying I’ll be still alive
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
Still alive
Still alive

Did you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said “Peace could last forever”
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can’t trust freedom
When it’s not in your hands
When everybody’s fightin’
For their promised land

And I think chanting monks would fit in it fairly well anyway.

I wonder how many people know the name of this song…I never loved nobody fully
always one foot on the ground
and by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the soundsI hear in my mind, all these voices
I hear in my mind, all these words
I hear in my mind, all this musicAnd it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
When it breaks my heartSuppose I never, ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never, ever let you
Kiss me so sweet and so softSuppose I never, ever saw you
Suppose we never, ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs
Just to break my own fallJust to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fallAll my friends say that of course
It’s gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better, better, better, better
Better, better, better!I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the soundsI hear in my mind, all these voices
I hear in my mind, all these words
I hear in my mind, all this musicAnd it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heartThe song sounds sad but it’s really beautiful-so’s the video. Sorry that this is such a long post.

in January 13th, 2010 @ 22:00How ’bout this one (i kinda doubt it)
It’s alright forty days of rain
my skin stretched our from the growing pain
I’d be nice to have an explanation, but it’s alrightAnd it’s alright if you hate that way,
hate me cause I’m different,
hate me cause I’m gay
Truth of the matter come around one day so it’s alrightI look at this lifeline stretched way all across my hand
I look at the burned out empty like a plague across the land
And for everything I learn there are two I don’t understand
That’s why I’m still on a search through the weather strewn church
I’m doing the best I can
and it’s alrightAnd it’s alright though we worry and fuss,
we can’t get over the hump or get over us
It seems easier to push than to let go and trust but it’s alright
When we get a little distance some things get clearer
Give em the space our hearts grow nearer
I ran as hard as I could and still ended up here but it’s alrightI look at this lifeline stretched way all across my hand
I look at the fires of hatred burning up the bounty of this beautiful land
I know I’m small in a way but I know I’m strong
And it’s my thirst that brought me to the water when I give it all up then she carries me on and it’s alrightYeah it’s alright
And it’s alright though I feel afraid my plans in pieces my plans mislaid It’s the will of the way the will of the way the will of the only way that could have brought me here today and it’s alright.

“What did I ever do to you,
That you should treat me this way?
Is it really such a crime,
For an angel to speak his mind?
In time I’ll try to shed some light.
If I
Were a big boy,
I wouldn’t cry-y-y-y-y.
But since I’m not a big boy
I’ll have to cry.
What did I ever do so wrong,
That you should cast me from grace?
Though I love to rule in Hell
Here
How I miss the taste of Heaven,
Its soft and cool embrace.
If I
Were a big boy
I wouldn’t cry-y-y-y-y.
But since I’m not a big boy,
I’ll have to
Close my eyes and picture what it’s like.
I’m just like You,
Made by He,
Despised by They,
I’m almost me.”

You Are Never Safe Without A Towel
in January 19th, 2010 @ 16:15Here is one:
“You´re better then the best
I´m lucky just to linger in your life
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow that´s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it´s ok yeah it´s ok
And the moments where my good times start to fadeYou make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smileEven when you´re gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like thatYou make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smileDon´t know how I lived without you
Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wildYou make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed sing like bird
Dizzy in my head spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh you make me smile
Ohh you make me smile
Ohh you make me smile “

in January 19th, 2010 @ 17:47You brought the rain and shine into my life
I know you got to leave, but I’m not surprised
What’s the use? Any way, I lose. And there’s nothing I can do
Wanna know the truth? (Here, I do…)
I’m already missing you
And is this really worth saving?
If this can’t work anymore?
And I can see you don’t believe, so you’ll pack up and leave
I can’t change it…
This is just the way it is
What if I revised his words deep into my soul?
What if I see her smile, would it make me crave her more?
What if I heard his voice and it gave me no other choice than to pray?
From day to day I wonder
I’m not unsure, not quite certain though, where these problems came from
I’m not unsure, not quite certain though, why I’m feeling so drawn…
Just because it always was and it will always be this way
It works because all my love makes for a shining, shining day
Against the rain, you feel the change, I start to wonder if I’m ever going to see you again…
Then she tells me this is not the end.
Drawn to the smile on your face
But these are my dreams and this is your place
If that’s what you want, it’s not what I need, I’m high and dry and you’re at sea
Don’t leave (I’m listening)
You color every breath I breathe
‘Cause if everything changes…
Will this work anymore?
And I can see you don’t believe as I’m ready to leave
We can’t change this (No…)
Can we save this?
What if I told you the stars, he drew them only for you?
What if I can’t dream, ’cause I’m dreaming of you?
What have I got to lose if I never, ever reach the end of you?
I guess we’ll find out soon
I’m not unsure, not quite certain though, where these problems came from
I’m not unsure, not quite certain though, why I’m feeling so drawn to a life with you…
Just because it always was and it will always be this way
It works because all my love makes for a shining, shining day
Against the rain, you feel the change, I start to wonder if I’m ever going to see you again…
Then he tells me this is not the end…

in January 19th, 2010 @ 18:12This song is from the second installment of the series, whereas the previous song was from the first.
Create a place through shapes and shades
Build a blinding stage where beauty is made
But when your colors fade everything will change
I’m trying hard to imagine better
Daydream him, I’ll wait forever
I’ll pray that our paths blur together
It might not be true but it’s the best I can do
It’s only to keep a little piece of you
I can’t keep it inside I’ll have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn’t live without
And I’m pouring my heart
And I’m sealing my soul
And I’m taking a breath
And he’s giving his own
And I wanna walk out from the trouble I’m in
‘Cause I’m really not sure where to begin
And to think it it will make it better, better than it was before
Lies could bring us close together
So I won’t be lonely no more
Pretending it doesn’t matter could help me pass the time
In make believe he’ll hide forever
This is real life
This is real life
This is real life
Oh oh oh
This is real life
Oh oh oh
It’s time to see the real life
Painting your world full of tones
Write the story so you know how it goes
But my heart’s alone until he comes home
He’ll make a decision, he’ll have no choice
And I’ll hold him close, he’ll hear my voice
And I’ll pray we’re together
Forever
Take a deep breath, go for a walk
Wish he were here ’cause we’ve got to talk
I can’t keep inside, I’ll have to shout it out loud
All of the things I couldn’t live without
And I’m pouring my heart
And I’m sealing my soul
And I’m gasping for air
‘Cause he’s giving it all
And he wants to wake up from the big finish
And start it all over so we can repeat
And to think it it will make it better, better than it was before
Lies could bring us close together
So I won’t be lonely no more
Pretending it doesn’t matter could help me pass the time
In make believe he’ll hide forever
This is real life
This is real life
This is real life
Oh oh oh
This is real life
Oh oh oh
It’s time to see it
While he’s taking the steps and he’s taking a stand
He’s pulling down walls and doing all that he can
He’s through with black and white
And drawing the lines
Between make believe and real life
This is real life
This is real life
This is real life
Oh oh oh
This is real life
Oh oh oh
My real dreams have real love
Beneath the things that you can’t touch
This make believe is not enough
It’s time to see the real life

in February 13th, 2010 @ 06:32Hear the sledges with the bells
Silver bells
What a world of merriment
Their melody foretells
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle
In the icy air of night
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight
Keeping time, time, time
With a sort of Runic rhyme
From the tintinnabulation
That so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bellsHear the mellow wedding bells
Golden bells
What a world of happiness
Their harmony foretells
Through the balmy air of night
How they ring out their delight
Through the dances and the yells
And the rapture that impels
How it swells
How it dwells
On the future
How it tells
From the swinging and the ringing of the molten golden bells
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
Of the rhyming and the chiming of the bellsHear the loud alarum bells
Brazen bells
What a tale of terror now
Their turbulency tells
Much too horrified to speak
Oh, they can only shriek
For all the ears to know
How the danger ebbs and flows
Leaping higher, higher, higher
With a desperate desire
In a clamorous appealing to the mercy of the fire
With the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
With the clamor and the clanging of the bellsHear the tolling of the bells
Iron bells
What a world of solemn thought their monody compels
For all the sound that floats
From the rust within our throats
And the people sit and groan
In their muffled monotone
And the tolling, tolling, tolling
Feels a glory in the rolling
From the throbbing and the sobbing
Of the melancholy bells
Oh, the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
Oh, the moaning and the groaning of the bells.Hear the sledges with the bells
Silver bells
What a world of merriment
Their melody foretells
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle
In the icy air of night
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight
Keeping time, time, time
With a sort of Runic rhyme
From the tintinnabulation
That so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bellsI will be pleasantly surprised if anyone gets this. Hint: It’s taken from a poem.

in February 13th, 2010 @ 10:49Yeah, I should probably post a different song by the same guy.
Hup, two, three, four, marchin’ down the street
Rollin’ of the drums and the trampin’ of the feet
General salutes and the mothers wave and weep
Here comes the big parade
Don’t be afraid, price is paid
One more paradeChorus:
So young, so strong, so ready for the war
So willin’ to go an’ die upon a foreign shore
All march together, everybody looks the same
So there is no one you can blame
Don’t be ashamed, light the flame
One more paradeListen for the sound and listen for the noise
Listen for the thunder of the marching boys
Few years ago their guns were only toys
Here comes the big parade
Don’t be afraid, price is paid
One more paradeChorus:
Medals on their coats and guns in their hands
Trained to kill as they’re trained to stand
Ten thousand ears need only one command
Here comes the big parade
Don’t be afraid, price is paid
One more paradeChorus:
Cold hard stares on faces so proud
Kisses from the girls and cheers from the crowd
And the widows from the last war cry into their shrouds
Here comes the big parade
Don’t be afraid, price is paid
Don’t be ashamed, war’s a game
World in flames
So start the parade!!

in February 23rd, 2010 @ 09:37Out here in the field…..
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don’t have to fight
To prove I’m right
I don’t need to be forgiven, yeah yeah yeah yeahDon’t cry
Don’t raise your eyes
It’s only teenage wastelandReferred to by some as Teenage Wasteland. TW, however, is not its actual title.
And:
I first meet this man at the Capen street tracks
In no shape for success headed nowhere too fastHe may have been someone once by the sound of his call
Now he answers to no one
NO-ONE AT ALL!We all die alone, he shouted as he passed
With no sense of regret, see he never looked backThough his pride was wounded, his ego was strong
Yeah, that was his trouble and this is his song!You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There’ll be no talking your way out this time
So don’t count the cash cause you leave it behindHis friends come and go like the seasons and tides
He can’t keep a woman, they all realized
He loves them, leaves them, takes what he needs
He’s loyal to no one, no one at all!You were brought up well still in spite of it all
You’re touched by nothing, watch a man fall
Put a foot on his back to get a better view
Cause your loyal to no-one, NO-ONE BUT YOU!You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There’ll be no talking your way out this time
So don’t count the cash cause you leave it behindHe was broken and tired wouldn’t take a hand
Their kindness was simple but he couldn’t understandSee it’s hard to have faith in something so new
When your loyal to no one, NO-ONE BUT YOU!You said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight
There’ll be no talking your way out this time
So don’t count the cash cause you leave it behindYou said we die alone, in this case you were right
No friends by your side or family in sight

Hey, you seem to be a Beatles fan, so I have a question: do you know if the four pictures on the back of “1” (the album) have names so I can google them? Like “Pop art beatles” or something? Yours is one of them.

Iron is a metal, you see it every day.
Oxygen, eventually, will make it rust away.
Carbon, in its ordinary form, is cold.
Crush it together and diamonds are born.

Pax the Hamster
in February 23rd, 2010 @ 21:16One of my (many) favorite songs:
We are the lost,
the ones forgotten
and this time
the future is ours
its in our hands.We’re the tear in your eye,
we’re the blood in your veins,
we’re the beat of your heart.we’re the smile on your face,
we’re the ones that you chase,
we’re the promise
that you made.Those lines are sort of disjointed and random, because I can’t look up the lyrics right now and I haven’t heard this song in forever. It’s by a very well known band, but it is a rare song. I have found one video of it on youtube, and I know the title, so good luck.

in August 17th, 2010 @ 17:19Sudo- Isn’t it “Sweet dreams are made of THESE”? Oh my goodness, I used to be obsessed with this song. Actually, I used to be obsessed with Eurythmics in general, but Sweet Dreams is one of my favourites, along with the song that goes “Jennifer, with your orange hair, Jennifer, with your green eyes…” and so on. My friends still sing that song to annoy me. (My real name is, yep you guessed it, Jennifer, but I definitely don’t have orange hair or green eyes, nor would I ever even think of wearing a “dress of deepest blue”. XD)

in March 16th, 2010 @ 11:44125- I’ve heard it before. Don’t know what it is.
A song that’s been running through my head recently…
Now I’m
Where I wanna be and
Who I wanna be and
Doing what I always said I would and yet
I feel I haven’t won at all.Running for my life and
Never looking back in
Case there’s someone right behind to shoot me down and
Say they always knew I’d fall.When the crazy wheel
Slows down
Where will I be?
Back where I started.
On the same theme…
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody’s on nobody’s sideNever leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody’s on nobody’s side
And never stay a minute too long
Don’t forget the best will go wrong
Nobody’s on nobody’s side.

I believe the first one is just called “Where I Wanna Be”… It comes right after “The Russian and Molokov”. The second is, of course, “Nobody’s on Nobody’s Side” (my second favorite song from that show!).

Marilyn Monroe#2:
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand

Picture yourself in a train in a station
With plaster-cine porters with looking-glass ties…
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes…#4:
It’s a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You’re bundled up now, wait ’til you get older
But the meteor man begs to differ,
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin’ pretty thin
The water’s gettin’ warm so you might as well swim
The world’s on fire, how ’bout yours?
That’s the way I like it and I never get bored.

in March 16th, 2010 @ 22:54*squee* I love all those songs, except for the second one, which I don’t know. The fourth one is “Allstar” by Smashmouth.
Here are two (I don’t think anyone will get the first one):
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You’re out of my mind (Out of my mind)
You’re out of my mind (Out of my mind)
I was walking with a ghost
I said, “Please, please don’t insist.”
I was walking with a ghost
I said, “Please, please don’t insist.”
—“We wrote a prelude
to our own fairytale
And bought a parachute
at a church rummage sale
And with a mean sewing machine
and miles of thread,
we sewed the day above L.A. in navy and red
…(another verse here)I’ll be out of my mind
And you’ll be out of ideas
pretty soon
So let’s spend
the afternoon in a cold hot-air balloon.”

in March 17th, 2010 @ 19:02Guess this song:
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through [would give song title away]
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard they mournful cryYippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi ohhhhhh
[would give song title ahh-way]

_________________________________
1) I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind,
I left my body laying somewhere in the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon,
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeahI watched the world float to the dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something to do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
as long as you’ll be my friend in the endIf I go crazy then will you still call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman might
Kryptonite…
______________________________
2) Oh yeah you’re pretty good looking for a girl
But your back is so broken
And this feeling’s gonna linger on
Until the year 2525 nowYeah you’re pretty good looking for a girl,
Your eyes are wide open
And your thoughts have been stolen by the boys
Who took you out and bought you everything you
want now
______________________________
3) Oh oh oh oh oh
I ain’t happy
I’m feeling glad
I got sunshine
In a bag
I’m useless
but not for long
the future is coming onI ain’t happy
I’m feeling glad
I got sunshine
In a bag
I’m useless
But not for long
The future is coming on
It’s coming on
It’s coming on
It’s coming onYeah, Haha!
Finally, someone let me out of my cage
Now time for me is nothing ’cause I’m counting no age
Now I couldn’t be there
Now you shouldn’t be scared
I’m good at repairs
And I’m under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn’t think so I command you to
Panoramic view
Look I’ll make it all manageable
Pick and choose
Sit and lose
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes
Who you think is really kickin’ tunes?
Picture you gettin’ down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it’s fictional
Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual
Hearable
What appears in you is a clearer view cos you’re too crazy
Lifeless
To know the definition for what life is
Priceless
For you because I put you on the hype ***
You like it?
Gunsmokin’ righteous with one token
Psychic among those
Possess you with one go

Keep in mind none of these are the full songs.

And I find I forgot to bring my gun.

in March 24th, 2010 @ 17:33I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goesI see a line of cars and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev’ry dayI look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I’ll fade away and not have to face the facts
It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is blackNo more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to youIf I look hard enough into the settin’ sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin’ comesI see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goesHmm, hmm, hmm,…
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!It’s really, very easy to guess, even if you don’t know the song or who it’s by.

The song was “Ghost Riders In The Sky” (the rendition by Spiderbait).132.1.1) Keiffer, yeah, Siobhan did do a weird screechy thing near the end, but the rest of that song was very good. I thought it was better than the original, and I hope she wins. Go Siobhan!!

in March 25th, 2010 @ 16:26Yeah. I haven’t been voting or whatever you do, but I’ve been cheering her on. [Personal info snipped. –Admin.]
I have another song that is harder. Some people on here will know it.
Child thy name is rock and roll, child thy name is rock and roll
When I was just a child mother took my little hand
And gently laid it down upon the radio
And then Father changed my life, He took headphones in his hands
And he slowly slid them down around my earsPsychedelic sonic joy washed over me in waves
And through the sound I heard them sayChild thy name is rock, child thy name is rock
Child thy name is rock and roll, may you live long and rock and rollHow the years fly by, in the blink of a cosmic eye
The whole world changes but the song remains the same
Well it’s time for something new, a fresh mix of the sonic stew
Brand new brew, to intoxicate our mindsThere will never come a day, when music tells a lie
So raise your hands into the sky, let me hear you cryChild thy name is rock, child thy name is rock
Child thy name is rock and roll, may you live long and rock and rollYes I live (For the Rock) and I burn (For the Rock)
Even cry (For the Rock), how I yearn (For the Rock)
I would steal (For the Rock), blow your mind (For the Rock)
Say a prayer (For the Rock), any kind (For the Rock)I would beg (For the Rock), on my knees (For the Rock)
Anything (For the Rock) that you please (For the Rock)
Dig a mile (For the Rock) on fire (For the Rock)
I would kill (For the Rock), shoot to thrill (For the Rock)So don’t ask (For the Rock), take a stand (For the Rock)
Reach out (For the Rock), give a damn (For the Rock)
Scream, get mean
Bow down to the Gods of the lead guitar
For the rockChild thy name is rock, child thy name is rock
Child thy name is rock and roll, may you live long and rock and rollWho’s it by, and what’s the name? Mwahahah! (Just by reading the song, you should be able to figure out the title. Bonus if you know the band’s FULL name!)

in April 19th, 2010 @ 18:39He is like fire, burning through time
As old as forever, but fast in his prime
I saw his blue spaceship materialise
He stepped out and said to me, “run for your life!”I don’t know why I never thought to ask him for his name
But I really don’t think he’d have told me the truth anyway
But you know, that’s okIt’s completely terrifying but it’s so so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I’ve been and there’s so much more to see
We’ve got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to doAs a full-time companion he gave me a key
And a phone with a signal in every galaxy
As we fell through the vortex I felt so free
Please don’t let this danger just be another dreamBecause my life before you was unreasonably mundane
I’ve never been happier although we face death every day
I wouldn’t have it any other wayIt’s completely terrifying but it’s so so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I’ve been and there’s so much more to see
We’ve got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running to doYou know you can fix that chameleon circuit if you just try hotwiring the fragment links and superseding the binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary binary *gasp*
It’s completely terrifying but it’s so so exciting
He said I was brilliant and I could change the world
So many places I’ve been and there’s so much more to see
We’ve got galaxies and planets and moons
And an awful lot of running … to doLuna and other Who fans may get it.

But that joke isn’t funny anymore
No it’s too close to home
and it’s too near the bone
(too close to home, too near the bone…)2.
I don’t understand why
we do what we do to each other
according to His word
we’re all born sisters and brothers
but we lie and we steal
fight and we kill
even though we know the way3.
What do they know about us?
Are they thinking of somebody else?
Are they wondering what we might be?
Are they thinking of you or of me?

Make his fight on the hills in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun on they run through the endless gray
On they fight for their right, yes, but who’s to say?For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
[Incomprehensible] wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain and they surely know————————–
Time marches on
————————–Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cryStranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be blinded eyes to see——————–
Time marches on

“(Transportation)! (Transportation)! (Transportation)!

You say shark, I say hey man,
Jaws was never my scene
And I don’t like Star Wars.
You say Rolls, I say Royce.
You say God, give me a choice.
You say Lord, I say Christ.
I don’t believe in Peter Pan,
Frankenstein, or Superman.
All I wanna do is…(Song title)! (Song title)! (Song title)!”
For this next song I’m only giving you one line: “Glaciers melting in the dead of night”.

in June 22nd, 2010 @ 12:28The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ’till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon“I can’t think of anything to say except…
I think it’s marvellous! HaHaHa!”

A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they’d be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world’s asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won’t you please, please tell me what we’ve learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.(Not the whole song)

in July 18th, 2010 @ 19:07Lyin’ in the park
On a beautiful day
Sun shine in the grass and the children play
Siren’s passin’
Fire engine’s red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like thisThe evening comes
And we’re hangin’ out
On the front step
And a car goes by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playin “why can’t we be friends?â€
Someone’s screamin’ and cryin’ in the apartment upstairsFunny the way it is
And if you think about it
Somebody’s goin’ hungry
And someone else is eatin’ out
Funny the way it is
Whether right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken
And it becomes your favorite song[awhile later]
Standin’ on a bridge
Watch the water passin’ under me
It must have been much harder
When there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small
Remember how it used to be
With mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers and stars(the lyrics provided do not by any means represent the entirety of the song)

Zinnober – Yeah, I thought so too. I just copy/pasted the lyrics and edited. don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Metallica fan. I just didn’t have time to write out the whole thing.
Here are two more awesome songs:

Cash Money Heroes

Polish, fly[Kevin Rudolf]
I look up to the sky
and now the world is mine
I’ve known it all my life

I used to dream about the life I’m living now
I know that there’s no doubt.
(song name)(song name)[Kevin Rudolf – Verse 1]
Known from the city where no one believed in me
but I never give up the fight.
Ya, but now on top.
I told you to let it rock
The moneys fallin’ from the sky-y-y-y-y
(song name)[Chorus]
[Birdman]
Rooftop, hella choppa burning smoke
Louie bag stay strapped with a priceless globe
High life, flippin’ and get some more.
Paradise, the luxury marble floor
when I hit, hit me full of that cash
More money than I seen in a garbage can
Stunna’ island, money and the power
that’s how we do it, make it rain make it shower
top floor, big timer doing big things
over city views bought (censored!) new range
flip another 100, (cencored!) throwing hundreds
in a new Bently, uptown stunna![Chorus]
I look up to the sky (TO THE SKY)
and now the world is mine (THE WORLD IS MINE)
Ive known it all my life (all my lifeeeeee)

Ooo (song name)

Yo ay ay ay listen

they didn’t wanna know me back then
but ever since I done gon’ platinum
everything turned around
and now the sky is falling downnnnnn[Chorus]
[Lil’ Wayne]
Came from the gutter, lookin’ like my motha’

uh and that’s word to my red flag
I live first and leave the (censored!) dead last
I lay it down so hard I got a bedrash
And I just tell em to loaf it when the bread pass
Staring at you from the top of the game man

And another Queen song.
One man one goal one mission,
One heart one soul just one solution,
One flash of light yeah one god (song name)One flesh one bone,
one true religion,
One voice one hope,
Wowowowo gimme (song name)No wrong no right,
I’m gonna tell you there’s no black and no white,
No blood no stain,
All we need is one world wide vision.One flesh one bone,
one true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision,
Wowowowo gimme (song name)I had a dream,
When I was young,
A dream of sweet illusion,
A glimpse of hope and unity,
And visions of one sweet union,
But a cold wind blows,
And a dark rain falls,
And in my heart it shows,
Look what they’ve done to my dream.So give me your hands,
Give me your hearts,
I’m ready,
There’s only one direction,
One world one nation,
Yeah (song name)No hate no fight,
Just excitation,
All through the night,
It’s a celebration wowowowo yeah.One flesh one bone,
one true religion,
One voice one hope,
One real decision.Gimme one night,
Gimme one hope,
One man one man,
One bar one night,

in August 17th, 2010 @ 14:56This is just one verse. It should be easy for certain MBers to guess.
He is quiet and small
He is black
From the ears to the tip of his tail
He can creep through the tiniest crack
He can walk on the narrowest railHe can pick any card from a pack
He is equally cunning with dice
He is always decieving you into believing
That he’s only hunting for miceHe can play any trick with a cork
Or a spoon and a bit of fish paste
If you look for a knife or a fork
And you think it was merely misplacedYou have seen it one moment, and then it is gone!
But you find it next week lying out on the lawn!

You been sayin’ there ain’t much hope
you got nothing on meI got friends uptown
and they don’t talk down
They been keepin’ me safe and sound
We got something to beSo in case you hadn’t noticed
I’m alright

But not tonight
Tonight I’m walkin’ out that doorI’m not gonna cry

When I find the living a bore
There’s a place I go
I answer the call, go over the wall
Where the crosses are all in a row
Mind the trees, get down on my knees
There’s a hole in the gate
I look around, that I won’t be found
And sit down next to his grave

Graveyard Picnic.
Boston locals might know these:I’m a sailor peg, and I lost my leg
Climbin’ up the topsails, I lost my leg!Oh how do you do, young Willy McBride
Do you mind if I sit here down by your graveside
And rest for a while in the warm summer sun
I’ve been walking all day, and I’m nearly done
And I see by your gravestone you were only nineteen
When you joined the great fallin’ in 1916
Well I hope you died quick
And I hope you died clean
Or Willy McBride, was is it slow and obsceneDid they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forestAnd did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behind
In some loyal heart is your memory enshrined
And though you died back in 1916
To that loyal heart you’re forever nineteen
Or are you a stranger without even a name
Forever enshrined behind some old glass pane
In an old photograph torn, tattered, and stained
And faded to yellow in a brown leather frameDid they beat the drums slowly
Did they play the fife lowly
Did they sound the death march as they lowered you down
Did the band play the last post and chorus
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forestThe sun shining down on these green fields of France
The warm wind blows gently and the red poppies dance
The trenches have vanished long under the plow
No gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now!
But here in this graveyard that’s still no man’s land
The countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man’s blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation were butchered and damned!

in December 8th, 2010 @ 19:47Oh, good job, Lady Bunniful!
If you like that, you should hear the Dropkick Murphys version, it’s just amazing. Absolutely no screaming or anything normal…for them. Just peaceful music. I can suggest a link-
[snipped, as usual. –Admin.]
And this is a particular video. You can only find it if you know exactly what to look for. It takes a very strange search phrase to find it.
The guy made it using recorded footage from Call of Duty 5, and the end result adds tremendous feeling to the song.
In case you do delete the link, the username of the uploader is 0blivi0u5kid and the video is entitled ‘The Green Fields of France-Music Video’.

in November 6th, 2010 @ 18:19Castle (148)- The Queen song be One Vision.
Anybody guess this one? (Hint- From what I know, I think Aggie has the best chance.)
Some kind of metal made up of glue
Some kind of plastic I can wrap around you
The needy eat man-mades, they wear phony clothes,
they sit with barbiturates until they grow oldSome kind of nature (some kind of nature, some kind of soul)
Come forth within us
Oh lord forgive me (Some kind of mixture, some kind of gold)
It’s gonna come and find us
All we are is stars.There are a few interpretations of these lyrics (such as, some people hear stars as dust, and I personally hear phony as funny, but that seems to be just me) but they’re mostly intact, and if you know the song you should be able to guess it easily.

Tear us down, throw you out
Screaming down the halls
Spinning all around and now we fallPictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle, now a rashFirst two stanzas of the song.
You weren’t there, you never were
You want it all, but that’s not fair
I gave you life, I gave my all
You weren’t there, you let me fallStanza from the middle of a different song, same artist.

Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she left behindIt’s all about the exposure
The lens, I told herThe angle was all wrong, now she’s
Ripping wings off of butterfliesKeep your feet on the ground
When your head’s in the cloudsSo go get your chauffeur
And we’ll take you deeper
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your chauffeur
And we’ll take you deeper
To bury the castle
Bury the castleBa da ba, ba da ba ba da
So one day he found her cryin’
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure outBut it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
We’ll make sureTo build our house brick by boring brick
Or the wolf’s gonna blow it downKeep your feet on the ground
When your head’s in the cloudsSo go get your chauffeur
And we’ll take you deeper
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your chauffeur
And we’ll take you deeper
To bury the castle
Bury the castleBa da ba, ba da ba ba da

in December 9th, 2010 @ 19:41A long
long time ago,
I fell to this place
from another dimension.
And thrust amongst the beasts
and the way they behave, it borders on dementia.
Now, through all these years,
I can barely take it.
I don’t think I can make it.
Take me away from here.
I wanna go home.
I’m so sick and tired of:The taste of tears,
the sting of pain,
the smell of fear,
the sounds of crying.
Oh, as you stand there at the edge of your life
what do you remember?
Was it all you wanted?(I find this song depressing, but I guess I felt like feeling sad today.)

Sally Sparrow, I wrote you a letter
To make you feel better ’bout the fact that I’m gone
I may be stuck in the past
But my future is vast
Don’t go looking for me
Girl, you’ve got to go on
Don’t think he’s taking to you
He’s just on the TV
Well look past the Easter Egg
And see the reality
A world of time and space
Inside a funny blue box
The angels are approaching
And the front door is locked

in December 12th, 2010 @ 22:39Got no future in a great big past,
Little bitty guy on the rim of my glass
Gotta meet the plane so I can get my monkey,
Teach him to be cool
But a little bit funky
Got no credit,
And I got no fear
And I got about a buck,
So I can buy a beer
Gotta see a doctor ’bout the words I’ve said,
And I gotta get a bike
And I gotta paint it red.Oh no,
We gotta go
We’re not gonna live forever
Why? Why? We gotta die?
You know that we’ll be together
Hey hey we gotta say,
I could never be a savior
You don’t have to be there,
‘Cause I’m never never never
Comin’ home.Three feet deep in a slow motion wreck,
I was walkin the walk,
And I was talkin to the best
I was wrinkled and shriveled,
And steppin’ outta line,
Had the end against the middle and losin every time
I was famous and heinous and crippled and sad,
Thought I was invincible the baddest of the bad
Then I woke up one morning,
And I stepped out of bed
Had to get a bike,
Had to paint it red.Oh no,
We gotta go
We’re not gonna live forever
Why? Why? We gotta die?
You know that we’ll be together
Hey hey we gotta say,
I could never be a savior
I know that you’ll miss me,
But I’m never never never
Comin’ home.Oh no
We gotta go,
We’re not gonna live forever
Why? Why? We gotta die?
You know that we’ll be together
Hey hey we gotta say,
I could never be a savior,
You don’t have to be there
‘Cause I’m never never never
Comin’ homeStaring in disbelief
Out at the gloom
I was forced with remorse to learn the bassoon
I got real good in about six years
Started playin’ out for a couple of beers
Then one day I was playin at the gig and in walked the monkey with a couple of funky friends
He came right over and said this is what you’ll do
You’re gonna get a bike
You’re gonna paint it blue.Oh no
We gotta go
We’re not gonna live forever
Why? Why? We gotta die
You know that we’ll be together
Hey hey we gotta say
I could never be a savior
I know that you’ll miss me,
But I’m never never never
Comin’ home.Guess THAT. I’ll be truly amazed.

in February 9th, 2011 @ 14:54BEST SONG ABOUT RELIGION EVER!!!!!
I’ll put all the lyrics because it’s a pretty short song.
I waited for the light to come
to change my life, to change my life
But I am blind, my faith is gone
I’m finding out the good book was wrongAnd I must face
that I won’t be savedWe’re destined to all die alone
I buried my cross with a rose
I won’t kneel at your alter now that I know
It’s a table for a magic showI’m getting up from off my knees
the guilt is gone and I can finally breathe
But there is not a plan for me
You’re making my tired ears bleedAnd you can pray
But I won’t be savedWe’re destined to all die alone
I buried my cross with a rose
I won’t kneel at your alter now that I know
It’s a table for a magic show

in February 9th, 2011 @ 15:43Oooh yes, I can see how it could be interpreted that way. This song doesn’t represent my own views in any way. I just think it’s beautiful, and I also don’t know any Christian music. So by “best song about religion” I mean that it’s the best song I know about religion.
I’m a Buddhist (technically, though I rarely practice), anyway.

Another hint: Calling All Christians is less than a word away from the name of another song by this band that is on the same album.

Bluefire27
in February 10th, 2011 @ 18:07I think it is an honest opinion from an honest point of view. However, in my opinion, the person who wrote this is mistaken. I’ve been a Christian practically my entire life, so this may be a bit biased, but I find that being a real Christian is really cool. I have a lot of friends who feel the way I do also. I think that if you just go through the motions, its not worth it but if you really take the time to understand Christianity it really speaks to you. Or at least to me. Plus, my youth group center has several Playstation2’s, Guitar Hero 2, Star Wars Battlefront, Transformers: The Game, and some other games I can’t remember.

And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy — won’t you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I’m as blue as a boy can beThen I’m walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feelSaw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered ’round his tomb
But there’s a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle RoomAnd I was walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

You can scratch the antique furniture
to sharpen up your claws.
You can lacerate the cushions
if you’re ever stuck indoors.
You can dig up all the flowers
from the freshly planted beds,
and on articles of clothing
it’s OK to pull some threads!(Not my customary Voltaire, but I really like this song.)

Clare de Lune
in February 13th, 2011 @ 21:06Title and artist, anyone?
Every time I go to dinner
it seems like I’m getting a little bit thinner
I’ll sit down at the breakfast table
I can talk, but they’re not able
When I look at them I find
there’s a single question on their mind.
I wish it could go back to the way it was
its not easy now because…My whole family thinks I’m gay
I guess its always been that way.
Maybe its cause of the way I walk,
that makes them think that I like…boysThe g**d*** question just wont go away
and I get asked every single day
but the way they ask it is no disguise,
like “How was your day? Do you like to kiss guys?”
This is the worst, baby this was my fear
Now their opinions are crystal clear.My whole family now is shocked,
I’m in the closet and the door is locked.
Now my glory days are gone,
I was John Elway now I’m Elton John.
…..
Just cause I’m afraid of the snow,
Or my favorite color is, the rainbow.
I don’t mean to yell but I fear I must,
Cause I’m losing the people that I thought I could trust.Even my boyfriend thinks I’m gay…just kidding
You all probably think I’m gay,
Man this song is counterproductive…
la la la la la…Cause my whole family thinks I’m gay,
What am I suppose to say?
Baby you gotta see right through the haze,
Easy-Bake oven was just a phase.My whole family thinks I’m queer,
That is all I ever hear,
But I’ve been as straight as a ramp,
If you don’t count Bible camp.

in February 16th, 2011 @ 10:03I am a question to the world,
Not an answer to be heard,
All a moment that’s held in your arms.
And what do you think you’d ever say?
I won’t listen anyway,
You don’t know me,
And I’ll never be what you want me to be.And what do you think you’d understand?
I’m a boy, no, I’m a man,
You can 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,
Wanna 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.
The 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 wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can’t break me
As long as I know who I amAnd I want a moment to be real,
Wanna 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 *title*.They can’t tell me who to be,
‘Cause I’m not what they see.
And the world is still sleepin’,
While I keep on dreamin’ for me.
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I’ll never believe.And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna 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 *title*.
