Continuing the high standards set by Part 2.
Please put a period somewhere early in the post — perhaps after the song title. Otherwise the lyrics will clog the recent comments panel.
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
I love the lyrics to Misty’s Song. It’s a Pokemon song, but I think the lyrics really accurately tell the story of what it feels like to like somebody and not be sure what to do next. Even Pokemon songs can have good lyrics, I guess.
Out here in the quiet of the night
Beneath the stars, and moon
We both know we’ve got somethin’ on our minds
We won’t admit, but it’s true
You look at me, I look away
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling,
But I don’t know how to start
I wanna tell you, but now
I’m afraid that you might break my heart
Oh why should anything so easy ever
Be so hard to do
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling,
And to say that, I love you
I practice all the things that I would say
Line by line, every word
I tell myself today would be the day
But everytime, I lose my nerve
I look at you, you look away
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling,
But I don’t know how to start
I wanna tell you, but now,
I’m afraid that you might break my heart
Oh why should anything so easy ever
Be so hard to do
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling,
And to say that, I love you
Why?
Why do you turn away
It must be, you’re afraid like me
I try, but I can’t pretend that I,
Don’t feel for you, the way I do,
Can’t you see
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling,
But I don’t know how to start
I wanna tell you, but now,
I’m afraid that you might break my heart
Oh why should anything so easy ever
Be so hard to do,
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling
And to say that, I love you
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling,
But I don’t know how to start
I wanna tell you, but now,
I’m afraid that you might break my heart
Oh why should anything so easy ever
Be so hard to do,
I wanna tell you what I’m feeling
And to say that, I love you
(whisper) I love you
Ooh! This is cool.
First post?
Have you ever watched the eagle fly through the sun,
And wondered how he got to feel so free?
If you ever have you know the journy’s begun.
What have you got to lose, boy,
When already you are lost in the wilderness?
My current sad-song obsession. Though it’s not entirely sad.
The Origin Of Love
When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs
They had two sets of arms,
They had two sets of legs
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read
And they never knew nothing of love
It was before… the origin of love
The origin of love.
And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth,
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son…
Oh, oh,
The origin of love
Now the gods grew quite scared,
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
“I’m gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants.â€
And Zeus said, “No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
Dinosaurs into lizards.â€
Then he grabbed up some bolts
He let out a laugh,
Said, “I’ll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half.â€
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire…
And then fire, shot down
From the sky in bolts,
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped,
Right through the flesh,
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay
And Osiris, and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm,
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away
And if we don’t behave
They’ll cut us down again
And we’ll be hopping round on one foot,
And looking through one eye.
…
Last time I saw you,
We’d just split in two.
He was looking at me,
I was looking at you, oh
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had, blood in my eyes
But I could swear by your expression,
That the pain, down in your soul
Was the same… as the one down in mine
Oh, that’s the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
We wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together,
We was making love,
Making love
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
A story:
The origin of love
That’s The Origin of Love.
– Hedwig and the Angry Inch
1 – Well, there goes another alter ego.
-does small first post dance-
1- How does that have anything to do with Pokemon?
1- Oh, I like those lyrics. I know that feeling. Is the song itself any good?
Reminds me of me and Ros singing the pokémon theme on the bus to a tennis meet. All of you be glad you weren’t there, and if it happens again just pretend you don’t know me XD
6 – It’s on a Pokemon CD, and the original story behind the song is that Misty is singing it to Ash.
7 – It’s all right. Not the best song ever, but not horrible either. You can listen to it on Youtube if you’d like.
Speaking of songs and lyrics, I must depart now to watch American Idol.
8- Misty is in love with Ash? How odd.
I’ve written a number of songs, but this is my favorite.
Untitled
I saw you just last night
You standing in the dark
Thinking that your life
Is one big question mark
Dreaming of the past
Wonderful days gone by
Trying to forget
That you’re living a lie
But I’m saying it’s true
Your fear cannot consume you
And through it all
The rise and fall
I will always be here next to you
A million seconds passed
You’re wondering why
How everything
Ends in goodbye
And through the years
Deep into the future
I’ll still be here
I’ll still be yours
But I’m saying it’s true
Your fear cannot consume you
And through it all
The rise and fall
I will always be here next to you
But I’m saying it’s true
Your fear cannot consume you
And through it all
The rise and fall
I will always be here next to you
And through the years
Deep into the future
I’ll still be here
I’ll still be yours
here’s another song…
Life Marches On:
In the country,
the farms and the orchards swell
with oranges and peaches
a little bit of truth as well
In the city,
politicians beat their drum
all the suits come a-running
it’s all degeneration
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
In the country,
everybody thinks we’re dumb
but we built the fire
why’d you come and get you some?
In the city
skyscrapers touch the sky
what’s the use of being up so high
when it’s only gonna bleed you dry
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
In the country
the stars shine brighter
than in the city
in the country
in the country
In the city
I turn on the radio
but it just leaves me down with the question
what happened to our generation?
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
oh yeah, yeah
Life Marches On
oh yeah,
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
Life Marches On
-+Live+-Birds of Pray
And the seasons, they go round and round.
And the painted ponies go up and down.
We’re captive on a carousal of time…
We can’t return, we can only look,
Behind from where we came,
And go round and round and round,
In the circle game.
-Chorus to The Circle Game, by Joni Mitchell
WHOOOO! Go Paramore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a shame we all became, such fragile broken things,
A memory remains, Just a tiny spark,
I give it all my oxygen, to let the flames begin,
So let the flames begin,
Ohhhh Glory…. Ohh Glory!
This is, how we’ll dance when,
when they try to take us down,
This is what we’ll be ohh glory.
Somewhere weakness is our strength,
And i’ll die searching for it,
I can’t let myself regret, such selfishness,
My pain I know the trouble caused, no matter how long,
I believe that there’s hope,
buried beneath it all, and,
hiding beneath it all and,
growing beneath it all and…
This is, how we’ll dance when,
when they try to take us down,
This is how we’ll sing out…
This is, how we’ll stand when,
when they burn our houses down,
This is what we’ll be Oh Glory!
Reaching as I sink down into life.
Reaching as I sink down into life.
This is, how we dance when,
when they try to take us down,
This is how we’ll sing out.
This is, how we’ll stand when,
when they burn our houses down,
This is what we’ll be Oh Glory!
Paramore is what keeps me alive!!!!!
12 – That is one of my favorite songs of all time!
For the benefit of Mr. Kite
There will be a show tonight on trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair, what a scene!
Over men and horses hoops and garters
Lastly through a hogshead of real fire!
In this way Mr. Kite will challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. Kite
Performs his feat on Saturday at Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and sing
As Mr. Kite flys through the ring, don’t be late!
Messrs. K and H assure the public
Their production will be second to none
And of course Henry The Horse dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. Kite performs his tricks without a sound
And Mr. H will demonstrate
Ten summersets he’ll undertake on solid ground
Having been some days in preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping the bill!
yay beatles!!!!!
10–Wow, that’s really good.
15–and yay eddie izzard! I like that part of ATU, it’s wierd but the cinematography is awwwwsum.
Does anyone know the song these words come from?:
One last kiss
Before I go
Dry your tears
It is time to let me go…
I want to use the lyrics in a novel I’m writing.
Right now I’m listening to “When You and I Were True.”
We might as well lie down, love
Lie down and close our eyes
We might as well go walking
In the country of the blind
The long grass has grown
And the wild birds flown
To their homes away in the blue
And nothing’s left the same
The whole world is changed
Since you and I were true
And how can a story be ended
When it didn’t hardly begin?
How can my glass be so empty
When it’s filled up to the brim?
And it wasn’t always so
It didn’t always go
We had something better to do
And it didn’t always rain
Every single day
When you and I were true
In a country where we are headed, love
There is nothing but rocks and stones
No friendly plant or animal
No angel to guide you home
Until some day you’ll find
In the country of the blind
Some wonder just like you
And the singing of a bird
That nobody has heard
Since you and I were true
We might as well lie down, love
Lie down and close our eyes
We might as well go walking
In the country of the blind
The long grass has grown
And the wild birds flown
To their homes away in the blue
And nothing’s left the same
The whole world is changed
Since you and I were true
Shake it shake it shake it
shake it if you can
shake it like a milkshake
and pass it to a friend!
Shake it shake it shake it
shake it if you can
shake it like a milkshake
and pass it to a friend!
Shake it shake it shake it
shake it if you can
shake it like a milkshake
and pass it to a friend!
That’s the butter-making song.
Girls, be ambitious /Miyavi (credit masakarasu for translation)
If you like I will stretch out this filthy hand of mine as far as you like.
We won’t need a guide or anything, so let’s walk together eyes closed.
Did you know, that a knife hurts more when it’s pulled than when it’s stabbed?
And a flower, doesn’t even know it’s own beauty it’s entire life.
Sad, huh?
If you held onto my back just a little, it would lessen the wind a bit I suppose?
Hey if you’re going to hesitate I’ll drop you. Boys & Girls, hurry hurry up.
So it seems that I can’t give you a kiss goodnight,
Sorry, therefore I’ll sing.
So, how’s that for “fair play”? (cries)
Then, what about “flattery”? (fumes)
What I said is pretty stupid, right? (laughs)
If you give me a chance , apologize and I say [Girls , be ambitious.]
A lonely night
Loneliness from wanting to cry, when you can’t run away, from anxiety when you don’t understand,
Will probably come to you, I’m afraid.
So that you can sleep soundly in those times, a lullaby
16- When I fisrt saw that song, I thought that they were still high on pot and it was just a drug-induced dream that they were all having. But I like the song, and cinematography=awesome!!!!!
You’re all smiles and silly conversation
As if this sunny day came just for you
You twist your hair, you smile, and you turn your eyes away
C’mon, tell me what’s right with you
Now it dawns on me probably everybody’s talkin’
And there’s something here I’m supposed to realize
‘Cause your secret’s out, and the universe laughs at its joke on me
I just caught it in your eyes, it’s a beautiful surprise
When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
‘Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?
Make your way over here, sit down by this fool, and let’s rewind
C’mon, let’s go back and replay all our scenes
You can point out the hints, the clues, the twists and the smiles this time
All the ones that slipped by me
I bet my face is red, and you can hear my heart poundin’
Well I guess it don’t matter now that I realize
‘Cause baby I missed it then, but I can surely see you now
Right here before my eyes
You’re my beautiful surprise
When did you fall in love with me?
Was it out of the blue
‘Cause I swear I never knew it
When did you let your heart run free?
Have you been waiting long?
When did you fall in love with me?
When did you fall in love?
Was it at the coffee shop
Or that morning at the bus stop
When you almost slipped, and I caught your hand
Or the time we built the snowman
The day at the beach, sandy and warm
Or the night with the scary thunderstorm
I never saw the signs
Now we’ve got to make up for lost time
And I can tell now by the way that you’re looking at me
I’d better finish this song so my lips will be free
Have you been waiting long, when did you fall in love
I kept you waiting so long, when did you fall
Have you been waiting long
When did you fall in love with me
When did you fall in love?
16- I know that song, what’s the name?? Well, I think it’s in a few songs, really, but I’m not sure.
Relient K has the best pointless songs. Here are two…
Kick Off (First track on album)
Here’s the kick-off
Hope you’re not sick of
Relient K
Or all the songs we play
‘Cuz then you’ll want to throw our CD away
Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care
I just wasted
Ten seconds of your life
Relient K rocks!
I’ll tell it like it happened
It was Darius and Owen and me
Just a few poor boys
Trying to get up out of misery
Took 55 to Louisiana
Stopped by the highway to eat
They both had crawfish
Strictly chicken for me
Back out on the thunderheads
The radio was southern soul
They interrupted Clarence Carter
With a strange-ass local show
They were saying:
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Rest your soul and feed your brain
That’s where you will get to see
Everything the water can be
The rain was coming down
The wind was howling outside of Slidel
it was the kind of night that makes you think
The whole world’s going to hell
We got off on an exit
‘Cause we could read the map so great
With a shocked on mojo
We parked to deliberate
When out of the part
There came a man
Like the lake had a tongue
He was right up on the glass
All yellow-eyed black-teeth
Banging on the windshield
Screaming like a demon
At the top of his lungs
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Rest your soul and feed your brain
Free for you and all your friends
Crawfish ’til the bitter end
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Wade to where the shallows break
That’s where you will get to see
Everything the water can be
I was driving out of there
As fast as a Camry could
But the interstate was flooded
And I had to take the road through the woods
Bad move in retrospect
The road disappeared in the rain
And I stood on the breaks when I saw the sign
Lake Pontchartrain
Darius was yelling
That he saw somebody out in the swells
He jumped out running
And Owen was going, as well
Come back
Why the hell would they leave the car
And that’s when I heard it
Make no mistake
The voices were calling them
From under the lake
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
Come down to Lake Pontchartrain
The crawfish were screaming
The waves ended high
My friends went in deeper
The water had climbed
I watched in terror
The lake opened wide
And horribly roaring
It pulled them inside
That’s how it happened
Why would I lie?
There were no bodies
I’ve got none to hide
I’m just a boy
Lost his friends in the rain
Any more questions?
Just go and ask Lake Pontchartrain
hmm? MistyxAsh? Interesting.
22-
My latest obsession in weird music, from the soundtrack of Juno;
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I’d want is you to shade me and be my leaves
If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I’d want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I’d want is you to shade me and be my leaves
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I’d be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, let the cold winds blow
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were a wink, I’d be a nod
If you were a seed, well I’d be a pod.
If you were the floor, I’d wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I’d be a hug
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
If you were the wood, I’d be the fire.
If you were the love, I’d be the desire.
If you were a castle, I’d be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I’d learn to float.
All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
Yay!!!!!
12-That song pwns!
15-As does that one…
Still, my favorite songs are mostly French chansons and Weimar republic cabaret. *is indolent and does not go search for and post lyrics to these songs, though en feels as though en (object pronoun form?) ought to for everybody’s general edification ; ) to en’s quirks*
(26) How about some titles then, if you’re not up for posting the full lyrics?
27-A really spectacular idea, and well suited to my tastes!
Hmm….
Nathalie by Gilbert Becaud
Absolutely anything sung by Edith Piaf (M’lord, particularly)
Amsterdam by Jacques Brel
Bilbao Song sung by Lotte Lenya
Surabaya Johhny by Kurt Weill (I believe), sung by Lenya
Absolutely anything from the threepenny opera (particularly Pirate Jenny, Useless Song, Solomon Song, Tango Ballad)
Alabama Song sung by Lenya

Some of the later Beatles songs had odd lyrics, but they were great. Here is a example
For the benefit of Mr. Kite

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize shes very plain
But thats just perfect for an amish like me
You know I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning Im milkin cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and jacob plows… fool
And Ive been milkin and plowin so long that
Even ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
Im a man of the land, Im into discipline
Got a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine
Then tonight were gonna party like its 1699
We been spending most our lives
Living in an amish paradise
Ive churned butter once or twice
Living in an amish paradise
Its hard work and sacrifice
Living in an amish paradise
We sell quilts at a discount price
Living in an amish paradise
A local boy kicked me in the butt last week
I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek
I really dont care, in fact I wish him well
cause Ill be laughing my head off when hes burning in hell
But I aint never punched a tourist even if he deserved it
An amish with a tude?
You know thats unheard of
I never wear buttons but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree
I really look good in black… fool
If you come to visit, youll be bored to tears
We havent even paid the phone bill in 300 years
But we aint really quaint, so please dont point and stare
Were just technologically impaired
Theres no phone, no lights, no motorcar
Not a single luxury
Like robinson caruso
Its as primitive as can be
We been spending most our lives
Living in an amish paradise
Were just plain and simple guys
Living in an amish paradise
Theres no time for sin and vice
Living in an amish paradise
We dont fight, we all play nice
Living in an amish paradise
Hitchin up the buggy, churnin lots of butter
Raised a barn on monday, soon Ill raise anutter
Think youre really righteous?
Think youre pure in heart?
Well, I know Im a million time as humble as thou art
Im the pious guy the little amlettes wanna be like
On my knees day and night scorin points for the afterlife
So dont be vain and dont be whiny
Or else, my brother, I might have to get medieval on your heinie
We been spending most our lives
Living in an amish paradise
Were all crazy mennonites
Living in an amish paradise
Theres no cops or traffic lights
Living in an amish paradise
But youd probably think it bites
Living in an amish paradise
1-Wow! Totally. I don’t really remember pokemon songs, but that one doesn’t sound bad! Ah, the words, so true…

16 – Ah, isn’t that Forever by Papa Roach?
.
You’re a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you’re back is the latest trend
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body’s swinging from side to side
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can’t, you forgive me?
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 dvd rumple-packed guitar
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
Up up down down left right left right b a start
Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
You are always trying to keep it real
I’m in love with how you feel
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, i want more stage
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Don quixote was a steel driving man
My name is adam i’m your biggest fan
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don’t see anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
But you
This is my favorite song right now. It’s Anyone Else but You bgy the Moldy Peaches. m
30-I do not!
34–huh?
My favorite song- Hardware Store (by weird al)
Note: Song must be sung REALLY fast for effect
(hardware noises and sawing and pistons etc.)
Nothin’ ever (ever) happens in this town
Feelin’ low down (down), not a lot to do around here
I thought that I would go right outta my mind
Until a friend told me the news
He said, “(Hey), you know that vacant lot
Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
And on the spot they’re gonna build a shop
Where we can go buy bolts and screws”
Since then I’ve been walking on air (air)
I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
‘Cause I’m so excited and I really don’t care
I’ve been waiting since last June
For this day to finally arrive
I’m so happy (happy) now just to be alive
‘Cause any minute now I’m gonna be inside
Well, I hope they open soon
I can’t wait no, (no I) I can’t wait (oh when)
When they gonna open up that door?
I’m goin’ (yes I’m) goin’, I’m a-goin’ to the
Goin’ to the (hard) ware I’m goin’, really goin’ to the
Goin’ (hard) I’m goin’ to the (hard) oh yes, I’m goin’ to the
Hardware store
In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
I pressed my nose right up against the glass
You know, I had to be first in line
Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom
Want a pair of pliers for every single room in my house
See those hacksaws? Very, very soon
One of them will be all mine
Guys with nametags walking down the aisles
Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
All arranged alphabetically
And they’re doing a promotional stunt
There’s a great big purple sign out front
That says every 27th customer
Will get a ball pein hammer free
I can’t wait no, (no I) I can’t wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up that door?
I’m goin’ (yes I’m) goin’, I’m a-goin’ to the
Goin’ to the (hard) ware I’m goin’, really goin’ to the
Goin’ (hard) I’m goin’ to the (hard) oh yes, I’m goin’ to the
Hardware store

36- Sry about a certain word slipped in there,
Moderators, just cut it out of the song please
Disenchanted by MCR
Well I was there on the day
They sold the cause for the queen,
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen.
I hate the ending myself,
But it started with an alright scene.
It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to sing.
It was a lie when they smiled
And said, “you won’t feel a thing”
And as we ran from the cops
We laughed so hard it would sting
Yeah yeah, oh
If I’m so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter after I’m gone?
Because you never learned a ***** thing.
You’re just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
Well if you think that I’m wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
I spent my high school career
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I can watch all my heroes
Sell a car on tv
Bring out the old guillotine
We’ll show ’em what we all mean.
Yeah yeah, oh
If I’m so wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long? (night long, night long)
Now will it matter long after I’m gone?
Because you never learned a ***** thing.
You’re just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I’m wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
So go, go away, just go, run away.
But where did you run to? And where did you hide?
Go find another way, price you pay
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
You’re just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I’m wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya, come on
You’re just a sad song with nothing to say
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
Well if you think that I’m wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
At all, at all, at all , at all…
are you a neophyte?
Before I leave tomorrow…
The chaotic life of a 12-year-old
Is too hard and you never know what’s coming next
But in spelling
Things have logic and line
And in spelling
There’s some greater design
Though at school we seem strange
At the bee we seem better
As we count out each letter in our mind
And we find we like spelling!
I don’t feel like typing out the whole lyrics.
39- Who, BEAVO?????
Beev is NOT a phyte.
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places , worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow — no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
‘Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very… mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me – look right through me
– Gary Jules
Oh-bli-dee
Oh-bli-dah
Life goes on…
BRAH!
Na, nana
Na life goes on.
Tee hee I only know that much. It’s my favorite happy song.
My favorite silly song:
Please, can I keep it?
Please, can I keep it?
It followed me home.
It seems to be sad and alone.
Oh, please, can I keep it?
It’s friendly and shy,
and I don’t have a pet of my own.
Please, please, can I keep it?
It followed me home.
What exactly it is, I don’t know.
Oh, please, can I keep it?
It’s lost and afraid,
and I’m sure it has nowhere to go.
I could find it a bowl
and give it some food
whenever it needs to be fed!
Or I maybe won’t have to;
It seems very smart, see?
It’s helping itself to our bread.
Really helping itself to our bread.
And some fruit.
ALL the fruit.
And the juice.
And the flowers.
And the vase… Wow.
Please, can I keep it?
It’s fur is so soft.
Though I know it is shedding a lot.
It can sleep on my floor
if it fits through the door!
It can sleep in the hallway if not.
Oh, please, please, please, can I keep it?
It’s thumping it’s tail!
It has such a lovable whine!
Please, can I keep it?
Just look at those eyes…
I think it would love to be mine.
I know it would love to be mine!
And yours…
Say yes…
Oh please?
Oh please?
Oh please?
Oh please?
I sang this song for my fourth grade talent show. My friend was the pet. All the kindergarteners couldn’t stop laughing and they were a nuisance the rest of the show.
42- *fumes and screams* Why do I have to tell this to everyone? IT’S NOT WRITTEN BY GARY JULES! It was written by TEARS FOR FEARS! *calms down* sorry, I just get kinda, angry, when that happens. Because they are great lyrics, except everyone thinks it’s by Gary Jules.
(sorry for the double post)
43- I love Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da!
Desmond has his barrow in the market place…
Molly is the singer in a band…
Desmond says to Molly “Girl, I like your face”
And Molly says this as she takes him by the hand…
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on…
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on.
Desmond takes a trolley to the jewelry store…
Buys a twenty carat golden ring… (Golden ring)
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door…
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing… (Sing)
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on…
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on.
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones… (Ha ha ha ha ha)
Happy ever after in the market place…
Desmond lets the children lend a hand…
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face…
And in the evening she still sings it with the band…
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on…
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on.
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home,
With a couple of kids running in the yard,
Of Desmond and Molly Jones… (Ha ha ha ha ha)
Happy ever after in the market place…
Molly lets the children lend a hand…
Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face…
And in the evening she’s a singer with the band…
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on…
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah!…
Lala how the life goes on.
And if you want some fun… say Ob-la-di-bla-da!
35-I do not think that!
46–Thank you for repeating yourself. Since I didn’t hear the first time. Now, of course, I understand everything (that is, life the universe and)
38. I love MCR, especially the Black Parade CD. It’s so morbid and edgy but soooo good.
They’re gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They gonna give you a smirk
‘Cuz they got methods of keepin’ you clean
They gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine!
47-
They say that
Teenagers scare the living s^&# outta me!
They could care less, as long as someone’ll bleed!
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose,
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me!
The boys and girls in the clique,
The awful names that’ll stick,
You’re never gonna fit in much kid,
But when they sleep with a gun,
And keep an eye on your son,
You’ll make ’em pay for the things that they did!
They say that
Teenagers scare the living s$*^ noutta me!
They could care less as long as someone’l bleed!
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose,
Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me!
Ohhhhh yeah!
(insanely long guitar solo)
48–actually i think the 2nd verse is:
The boys and
Girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You’re never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you’re troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did!
I know, it sounds really horrible, but it’s actually supposed to be sarcastic. At the end of the music video an ad comes on that says “Violence is never the answer”.
Luv that song. I listen to it on my Sansa as I walk through the halls of my school and watch all the kids around me.
Sorry for the double post, I just remembered this song.
Oh I wish I was a little rolly orange (rolly orange)
Oh I wish I was a little rolly orange (rolly orange)
I would squirty squirty squirty on everybody’s shirty
Oh I wish I was a little rolly orange (rolly orange!)
Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap (bar of soap)
Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap (bar of soap)
I would shiny shiny shiny on everybody’s heinie
Oh I wish I was a little bar of soap (bar of soap!)
Oh I wish I was a little acrobat (acrobat)
Oh I wish I was a little acrobat (acrobat)
I would FLYYYY through the air and
Lose my underwear
Oh I wish I was a little acrobat (acrobat!)
Oh I wish I was a little mermaid (mermaid)
Oh I wish I was a little mermaid (mermaid)
I would look so cute with
OUT my bathing suit
Oh I wish I was a little mermaid (mermaid!)
Oh I wish I was a little church bird (church bird)
Oh I wish I was a little church bird (church bird)
I would sit on the steeple and
PFT on the people
Oh I wish I was a little church bird (church bird!)
THE END!
-41 I didn’t mean Beev, I was talking about Toastfan902.
12- We sang that at girl scout camp a million (well, two or three) years ago. Thanks muchly for the memories and song info.
21- Relient K… meh. I am not a fan of religion, I no longer speak to the person who convinced me to get one of their albums and because of that I can’t listen to them without misery and associated feelings. But they seemed okay for a little while.
30, 36- hahaha. Yes.
Something about the thread reminded me of this:
well the rain falls down without my help I’m afraid
and my lawn gets wet though I’ve withheld my consent
when this grey world crumbles like a cake
I’ll be hanging from the hope
that I’ll never see that recipe again
(It’s Not My Birthday, They Might Be Giants)
Birdhouse In Your Soul is still the best song ever, in my opinion… you all know the lyrics. Float On- Modest Mouse is pretty close, though, while Coldplay is the best for manipulating my emotions.
41-October of ’06? You got that right, I’ve been here a while.
Not a LONG while, but I don’t classify myself as a n00- neophyte anymore. I was around before we even started using the phrase neophyte!
47-I got the Black Parade CD and Mom was like “Aw its a cute little marching guy AHH ITS A SKULL!!!! *faint*”
48-You skipped the first part! *pout*
15 – Ah, I adore that song!
25 – That one too! Not as much as Mr. Kite, but I am fond of it.
30 – That one too….it’s especially funny to me since I used to live near an Amish community.
So many good songs…I don’t have time to post any of my current faves right now, but I’ll definitely be back to this thread.
47- My mom hates the Black Parade because of the skull and the like. I used to have this one pic of the band (as the Black Parade) as my desktop background, and my mom said that they looked like Soviets. I found that kinda funny at first, until I had to try an explain it.
52- Neither am I – It’s amazing how non-religious they are/were. Their first two albums are almost entirely sarcastic songs. (My favorite is Marilyn Manson Ate My Girlfriend) They got more serious as they became more popular.
49- Whatever, I was reciting that from memory. That’s what it sounds like.
51- Oh, mk. Cuz Beev has been here since the Beginning.
53- LOL. Moms are so clueless.
54- I know, Mr. Kite rocks.
30-That’s a weird al 2
the lighthouse lost its’ light
a long time ago
she got so used to it
this long and winding road
I’ll never ever let you go
I can’t believe
she whispered to me
I don’t wanna breathe
this ship of fools sails west
by night and by day
circumnavigates her globe
like a bullet gone astray
come on home baby where it’s safe
I can’t believe
she whispered to me
I don’t wanna breathe
I don’t wanna breathe
Even if you drink
from the chalice of cheap escape
and fade away
I’ll never ever let you go
I can’t believe
she whispered to me
I don’t wanna breathe
I don’t wanna breathe
she whispered to me
now I can’t believe
she whispered to me
When You Were Young-The KillersYou sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
Can we climb this mountain, I don’t know
Higher now than ever before, I
Know we can make it if we take it slow
That’s thinking easy, easy now, watch it go
We’re burning down the highway skyline on the
Back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
They say the devil’s water, it ain’t so sweet
You don’t have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once and a little while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
(Talks like a gentleman, like you imagine)
When you were young
I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But more than you’ll ever know
I heard an interview with Gerard Way (lead singer of MCR for the uninitiated) and he said that Black Parade came from this idea he has that when you die, you get picked up however you want. Like, if you wanted, you could be picked up by a guy on a tandem bicycle. And in his video, he wanted to be picked up by a parade, I guess.
I love their costumes in that video.
I like the Go! team.
And Public Enemy. And the YeahYeahYeahs. And Nomeansno. And Modest Mouse. and….
hmmm…I’ve written a lot of songs, but I wanted to get your critique on it.
I left it behind
Never comin’ back again
Out in this desert
I never thought I’d need it, my friend.
I’m searching for a miracle
Searching for the lyrical
Which I left back there
My eyes trained on that hard path
Bringing me back from the dark
Rising like the sun, like a lark
But it’s like I’m trapped
In leopards paws
I feel like I’m trapped
In steel jaws
What do you think?
60- I saw him say that in the making of the video for Welcome To The Black Parade. That video is great, they did a great job.
62- Pretty good! Is that the full song?
-63 sadly, yes, that’s the full song, I’m still adding to it though, so when ever a great idea that follows it springs into my head, I go write it down.
58- Who’s that by?
62- Nice. Keep adding, and show us when you do
Falling Slowly
I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I’ll sing along
(It’s gone…
I played the cards to late…
now you’re gone…)
64- That’s how good songs are made! My friend and I are writing a song together and whenever we get a new idea, we add it. The song will probably end up about 10 minutes long.
Guilty Pleasure – Cobra Starship.
And I don’t even know
What kind of fool you’re taking me for
So you got some brand new clothes
You never could afford before
Oh brother – spare us all
We don’t care anymore
We just wanna get down on the floor
You sell yourself to make it
You can dish it but can you really take it
You’re never gonna get it with nothing
‘Cause nothing’s what you’ve got in your head
So stop pretending
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you
Shut up ‘cause we won’t stop
We’re getting down ‘til the sun’s coming up
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you
Shut up ‘cause we won’t stop
We’re getting down ‘til the sun’s coming up
And I don’t even read
What the paper’s gotta say about me
No, no I can’t believe
They take it so serious…so seriously
I’m so bored – oh please, don’t talk anymore
Shut your mouth and get down on the floor
So cynical, poor baby
I can dish it ‘cause I know how to take it
You’re never gonna win ‘em all
So **** the kids who can’t take a joke
(I’m just playing)
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you
Shut up ‘cause we won’t stop
We’re getting down ‘til the sun’s coming up
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you
Shut up ‘cause we won’t stop
We’re getting down ‘til the sun’s coming up
And maybe someday I’ll believe
That we are all a part of some bigger plan
Tonight I just don’t give a d***
So if the world is ending, I’m throwing the party
I came here to make you dance tonight
I don’t care about my guilty pleasure for you
Shut up ‘cause we won’t stop
We’re getting down ‘til the sun’s coming up…
Great song…Cobra’s not amazing lyrically, but the music is awesome.
I’ve just seen a face,
I can’t forget the time or place
Where we just met.
She’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We’ve met
mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmm.
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I’d have never been aware.
But as it is I’ll dream of her tonight
dai-dai-dai-dai-d-dai
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I’ve been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite like this
mmm-mmm-mmm-mm-mm
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I’ve just seen a face,
I can’t forget the time or place
Where we just met.
She’s just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see we’ve met,
mmm-mmm-mmm-dai-d-dai
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Oh, falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
had that stuck in my head all day…it was annoying me in chem because i couldn’t remember the second half of the second verse, and jacob was unhelpful.
62-That’s quite good. I’ve never had any sort of knack for song lyrics myself, so I am pretty impressed. Its hard to think of anything to say, maybe just add a refrain?
65-A girl in my dance class did a dance based on the Picasso painting “Icarus”, to that music! Its quite a cool song.
68- I completely and totally ♥ the Beatles! They’re absolutely flamamablamblously froody!
Uber sorry about the double post! My fingers have been twitching convulsively recently, and I guess one of ’em slipped and hit submit without my knowledge! ( ; ) )
nothing new on that song. i don’t have any ideas.
Here’s “Hey Bulldog” by the Beatles.
Sheepdog
Standing in the rain,
Bullfrog
Doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you’re something special when you smile?
Child-like
No one understands,
Jack knife
In your sweaty hands,
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don’t know what it’s like to listen to your fears.
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you’re lonely you can talk to me
Big man
Walking in the park
Wigwam
Frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know me but you haven’t got a clue
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you’re lonely you can talk to me
[Hey]
Hey Bulldog
Hey Bulldog
Hey Bulldog
Hey Bulldog
Hey Bulldog
We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but
You’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
And if you ask me how I’m feeling
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Oooooooh, Give you up
Oooooooh, Give you UP)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
We’ve known each other for so long
Your heart’s been aching, but
You’re too shy to say it
Inside we both know what’s been going on
We know the game and we’re gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Great songs all around!
drivin n cryin, anyone?
73- I saw that song and this immediately got stuck in my head!
Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing there mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time
Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they’re not going easily
Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you’re trying for
Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It’s the chemical weapon
For the war that’s raging on inside
Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no ones going quietly
We’re never gonna win the world
We’re never gonna stop the war
We’re never gonna beat this
If belief is what we’re fighting for
What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand
Belief can
Belief can
What puts the folded flag inside his mother’s hand
Belief can
Belief can
(John Mayer, ‘Belief’)
Current favorite song (by Fleetwood Mac:)
Now here you go again, you say
You want your freedom,
Well who am I to keep you down?
It’s only right that you should play the way you feel it,
So listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness,
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad,
In the stillness of remembering what you had,
And what you lost,
And what you had,
And what you lost,
Oh thunder only happens when it’s raining,
Players only love you when they’re playing,
Say women, they will come and they will go,
When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know,
You’ll know…
Now here I go again, I see
The crystal visions,
I keep my visions to myself.
It’s only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and,
Have you any dreams you’d like to sell,
Dreams of loneliness,
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad,
In the stillness of remembering what you had,
And what you lost,
And what you had,
And what you lost,
Oh thunder only happens when it’s raining,
Players only love you when they’re playing,
Say women, they will come and they will go,
When the rain washes you clean, you’ll know,
You’ll know…
You’ll know…
You’ll know…
OOhhhhh
You’ll know…
76 – That’s the power of the RickRoll.
Stacy’s Mom by the Fountain of Wayne
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on,
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on,
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on,
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on.
Stacy can I come over after schoo-oo-oo-oo-ool,
(After school)
We can hang around by the poo-oo-oo-oo-ool,
(Hang by the pool)
Did your mom get back from her business trip,

Is she there, or is she tryin’ to give me the sli-i-i-i-ip,
(Give me the slip)
You know I’m not the little boy that I used to be,
I’m all grown up
Now, baby can’t you see.
[Chorus]
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on,
She’s all I want,
And I’ve waited for so long,
Stacy can’t you see,
You’re just not the girl for me,
I know it might be wrong,
But I’m in love with Stacy’s Mom.
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on,
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on.
Stacy, do you remember when I mowed your lawn,
(Mowed your lawn)
Your mom came out with just a towel oh-oh-oh-oh-on,
(Towel on)
I could tell she likes me from the way she stared,
(Way she stared)
And the way she said, “You missed a spot over ther-e-e-e-re,”
(Spot over there)
And I know that you think it’s just a fantasy,
But since your dad walked out,
Your mom could use a guy like me.
[Chorus]
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on,
She’s all I want,
And I’ve waited for so long,
Stacy can’t you see,
You’re just not the girl for me,
I know it might be wrong,
But I’m in love with Stacy’s Mom.
[Instrumental Section]
[Chorus]
Stacy’s Mom has got it goin’ on,
(She’s got it going on)
She’s all I want,
And I’ve waited for so long,
(Waited)
Stacy can’t you see,
You’re just not the girl for me,
I know it might be wrong,
I’m in love with..
Stacy’s Mom,
Oh-oh, oh-oh,
I’m in love with..
Stacy’s Mom,
Oh-oh, oh-oh,
Wait a minute,
Stacy can’t you see,
You’re just not the girl for me.
I know it might be wrong,
But I’m in love with Stacy’s Mom.
new and revised!
I left it behind
Never comin’ back again
Out in this desert
I never thought I’d need it, my friend.
I’m searching for a miracle
Searching for the lyrical
Which I left back there
My eyes trained on that hard path
Bringing me back from the dark
Rising like the sun, like a lark
It left me broken
My only token
Of what I lost
There ain’t no slack
For me
Light ain’t got no meaning
My branches leaning
Right
Meaning
Of light
I’m searching for a miracle
Searching for the lyrical
Which I left back there
A flash of silver
A flash of silver
Left me speechless
Left me lifeless
Torn between
You and me
But it’s like I’m trapped
In leopards paws
I feel like I’m trapped
In steel jaws
I’m searching for a miracle
Searching for the lyrical
Which I left back there
Better?
80- Great! Good work! (See, I knew you’d think of more)
yes, I wrote that at eleven p.m. last night. I wasn’t able to get any sleep over my cats loud banging. had to find something to do. I’ve just started on a new one, not sure what it’s called yet though.
Somewhere Only We Know
I walked across an empty land,
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand.
I felt the earth beneath my feet,
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in,
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
I came across a fallen elm tree,
I felt the branches; are they looking at me?
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I’ve been dreaming of?
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on.
So tell me when you’re gonna let me in,
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don’t we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.
Oh, simple thing, where have you gone?
I’m getting old and I need something to rely on.
So, tell me when you gonna let me in,
I’m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin.
So if you have a minute why don’t we go,
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything.
So why don’t we go, so why don’t we go,
Hmmm yeahh,
This could be the end of everything.
So why don’t we go, somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know
Is it Any Wonder?
I.. I always thought that I knew
I’d always have the right to
be living in the kingdom of the good and true and so on
But now I think I was wrong
and you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on…
My side,
Is it any wonder I’m tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don’t know what’s right?
Sometimes it’s hard to know where I stand,
It’s hard to know where I am,
Well maybe it’s a puzzle I don’t understand.
Sometimes I get the feeling that I’m
stranded in the wrong time
where love is just a lyric in a children’s rhyme, a soundbite
Is it any wonder I’m tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don’t know what’s right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery you made,
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
Nothing left inside this old cathedral,
just the sad, lonely spires,
How do you make it right?
Oh, but you try,
Is it any wonder I’m tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don’t know what’s right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery you made,
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
And here’s one by one of my favorite bands, Coldplay. My mom told me about them when I was like, 6.
This is there new one, “Viva la Vida”
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I’d become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
(Ooooh Oooh Oooh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Here is their song called “Speed of Sound”
How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you’ll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine
Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light,
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I’ll start before I can stop
Before I see things the right way up.
All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you’d understand
Ideas that you’ll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn’t read
or a light, that I couldn’t see
Some things you have to believe
While others are puzzles, puzzling me
All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you’d understand
Oh, when you see it then you’ll understand
All those signs I knew what they meant,
Some things you can invent
Some get made and some get sent ooh-ooh
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you’d understand
Oh, when you see it then you’ll understand.

‘Bout a dangerous, insidious computer virus
If you should get any mail with the

Better not go taking your chances
Under no circumstances
Should you open it or else it will
Translate your documents into Swahili
Make your TV record “Gigli”
Neuter your pets and give your laundry static cling
(Look out!) It’s gonna make your computer screen freeze
(Look out!) Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs
(Look out!) Erase your hard drive and your back-ups too
And the hard drive of anyone related to you

Soon, very soon, it will make all the

It’ll make your keyboard all sticky
Give your poodle a hickey
And invest your cash in stock in Euro Disney
Then it will tie up your phone making
prank long distance calls
It’ll set your clocks back an hour
And start hogging the shower
So just trash it now, or else it will
Decide to give you a permanent wedgie
Legally change your name to Reggie
Even mess up the pH balance in your pool

(Look out!) It’s gonna melt your face right off of your skull
(Look out!) And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull
(Look out!) And tell you knock-knock jokes
while you’re tryin’ to sleep
(Look out!) And make you physically attracted to sheep
(Look out!) Steal your identity and your credit cards
(Look out!) Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
(Look out!) Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place
That’s right, it’s a…

Fly Me Courageous by drivin n cryin.
I’ve got you on the loose
I left you groovin’
I’ve got you on the beat
I left you broken
But won’t you take my place
Since long I wandered
Way out on a cliff
With the brilliance of an angel
So fly me
Courageous
So fly me
Courageous
Mother America is brandishing her weapons
She keeps me safe an warm
by threats and misconceptions
So if you break the chains
You’ll have to shake me
And if you break my heart
You’ll have to take me
Whoa lady, won’t you take it easy
Push…Me…Out…Of…
Whoa won’t you take it easy lady
Push…Me…out…of…
Whoa won’t you take it easy lady
Push…Me…out…of…
(guitar solo)
So Fly me
Courageous
I heard your whispers
from the bottom of the canyon
It’s not so hard to hide the rattlesnake’s confusion
Wrap me high in the sky
Circle me with stallions
She flew from peak to peak
with the freedom of an eagle
So fly me
Courageous
So fly me
Courageous
These Dreams, by Heart:
Spare a little candle, save some light for me. Figures
Up ahead, moving in the trees. White skin in linen,
Perfume on my wrist, and the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist.
CHORUS
These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second
Of the night, I live another life. These dreams that
Sleep when it’s cold outside, every moment I’m awake,
The further I’m away.
Is it cloak and dagger, could it be Spring or Fall? I
Walk without a cut through a stained-glass wall.
Weaker in my eyesight, a candle in my grip, and words
That have no form are falling from my lips.
CHORUS
These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second
Of the night, I live another life. These dreams that
Sleep when it’s cold outside, every moment I’m awake,
The further I’m away.
BRIDGE
There’s something out there I can’t resist. I need to
Hide away from the pain. There’s something out there
I can’t resist.
The sweetest song is silence that I’ve ever heard.
Funny how your feet in dreams never touch the Earth.
In a wood full of princes, freedom is a kiss. But the
Prince hides his face from dreams in the mist.
CHORUS
These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second
Of the night, I live another life. These dreams that
Sleep when it’s cold outside, every moment I’m awake,
The further I’m away.
CHORUS
These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second
Of the night, I live another life. These dreams that
Sleep when it’s cold outside, every moment I’m awake,
The further I’m away.
Third Planet
Modest Mouse
Everything that keeps me together is falling apart,
I’ve got this thing that I consider my only art of f****** people over
My boss just quit the job says he’s goin’ out to find blind spots and he’ll do it
The 3rd Planet is sure that they’re being watched
by an eye in the sky that can’t be stopped
When you get to the promise land
your gonna shake that eye’s hand
Your heart felt good it was drippin’ pitch and made of wood
And your hands and knees felt cold and wet on the grass to me
Well outside naked, shiverin’ looking blue, from the cold sunlight that’s reflected off the moon and
Baby cum angels fly around you reminding you we used to be three and not just two
And that’s how the world began
And that’s how the world will end
Well a 3rd had just been made and we were swimming in the water,
didn’t know then was it a son was it a daughter
When it occurred to me that the animals are swimming around
in the water in the oceans in our bodies and another had been found
another ocean on the planet given that our blood is just like the Atlantic
And how
Well the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
if you go straight long enough you’ll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth
if you go straight long enough you’ll end up where you were
And the universe is shaped exactly like the earth.
RANDOM LYRICS I WROTE
How did you know?
Why would you care?
Why would you follow me,
down this path?
Don’t ever try ever again
a life of misery
branches scrape my face
trees standing beside
are they looking at me?
are they looking at me?
(chorus)
Every day I walk down to the river
where we used to sit
but now I’m the only one
you took a different path
I’m standing there alone
I hear birds chirping, watch a little bunny go by
a fox with a mouse in it’s mouth
oh my
the river rushing past me
wind in my hair
how could this be?
why did you leave me?
why did you leave me?
did you know this would happen?
I turn it inside out
I spin it round and round
tryin to find the reason it happened
but still I stand there
looking for that little clue
oh why oh why
I could have said
no, it wasn’t you
(chorus)
Every day I walk down to the river
where we used to sit
but now I’m the only one
you took a different path
I’m standing there alone
I hear birds chirping, watch a little bunny go by
a fox with a mouse in it’s mouth
oh my
the river rushing past me
wind in my hair
how could this be?
why did you leave me?
why did you leave me?
That’s what I got so far. You like it?
And I’m not Emo. Random lyrics, no inspiration.
Nobody is really posting anymore. Are they?
yeah…it’s a fleetingly posted thread…HEY, it’s not the 11th, it’s the twelfth!
In the last second of life, they’re gonna show you how
How they run this show, sure, run it into the ground
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin’ our lives down to this planet Earth
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin’ our minds down to this planet Earth
Everyone wants a double feature
They wanna be their own damn teacher, and how
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin’ our lives down to this planet Earth
It’s all about moderate climates
You gotta be cold and be hot for sure
It’s all about the moderate climates
You wanna be blessed and be cursed for sure
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin’ our lives down to this planet Earth [x2]
Everyone wants a double feature
They want to be in their own damn teacher, and how
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin’ our lives down to this planet Earth
You’ve got the harder part, You’ve got the kinder heart
And it’s true
I’ve got the easy part, I’ve got the harder heart
Aint this true
Right wing, left wing, chicken wing
It’s built on findin’ the easier ways through
God is a woman and the woman is
An animal that animals man, and that’s you
Was there a need for creation?
That was hiden in a math equation
And that’s this:
Where do circles begin?
Does anyone on this thread actually read what others post? Or do people just post for the pleasure of posting?
94- I read them.
I read all of them. Occasionally I listen to a song, if I really like the lyrics. But then sometimes the music disappoints me.
Can I ask you a question please
Promise you won’t laugh at me
Honestly I’m standing here
Afraid I’ll be betrayed.
As twisted as it seems, I only fear love when it’s in my dreams
So let the morning light come in and let the darkness fade away
Chorus:
Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?
Drowning in my loneliness
How long must I hold my breath
So much emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea
I reach to the sky as the moon looks on
One last year has come and gonne
It’s time to let your love rain down on me
Can you turn my black roses red? (x3)
Cuz
I’m feelin like I’ll blame it on love (x6)
Can you turn my black roses red? (x3)
Cuz I’m feelin like I’ll blame in on love
I’m feeling like I’ll blame it on love (until fades)
Fire and Rain:
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susan the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can’t remember who to send it to
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Won’t you look down upon me, Jesus
You’ve got to help me make a stand
You’ve just got to see me through another day
My body’s aching and my time is at hand
And I won’t make it any other way
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it’ll turn you head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you, baby, one more time again, now
Thought I’d see you one more time again

Time After Time
I’m lying in my bed,
I hear the clock tick, and think of you.
Caught up in circles,
Confusion is nothing new.
Flashback, warm nights,
Almost left behind.
Suitcase of memories, time after.
Sometimes you picture me,
I’m walking too far ahead.
You’re calling to me,
I can’t hear what you have said.
Then you say, go slow,
I fall behind.
The second hand unwinds
Chorus-
If you’re lost, you can look, and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting,
Time after time.
If you’re lost, you can look, and you will find me,
Time after time.
If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting,
Time after time.
*music*
After my picture fades, and darkness
Has turned to gray.
Watching through windows, you’re wondering
If I’m okay.
Secrets, stolen, from deep inside.
The drum beats out of time.
Chorus
Time after time… (repeated any number of times.)
I’m trying to make some new lyrics…
here’s what I have (not edited just.. i don’t know) (I also have to think up a name. Has to be a girls name. For now I’ll just replace it with _____)
Lots before, in different places
you’ve see her smile
your heart races
______, oh sweet _____
Another girl
maybe not
for she loves him quite a lot
_____, oh sweet ______
remember how it is
only one girl
can be his
and it is that _____ girl
that spectacular,wonderful, angel of a girl
_____, oh sweet, ______
You see her walkin’ down the street
and your eyes meet
she breaks your heart in two
she says
“How are you?”
Her eyes look maybe red
she looks sad
like her mom’s dead
you realize what it is
you get mad
like soda you fizz
that _____ girl, is not loved anymore
at least of what she knows
a girl so many people adore
she was soaked with a hose
her lover washed down
nows your chance to turn it around
______ that sweet ______ could be yours!
Lots before, in different places
you’ve see her smile
your heart races
______, oh sweet _____
Another girl
maybe not
for now she loves you quite a lot
_____, oh sweet ______
In another time
you hear her say the words
I love you
and the birds
they fly about
and no doubt
you love her back
okay, I have to try and think of more…
any ideas about the name? Jenny was a good filler for me…
nobody comes on this thread much, do they?
101/102- That’s a really good song, and nobody does seem to be showing up.
103- Why thankyou.
And your right, nobody really does show up…
ah well, I’m still lurking.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, nobody has posted sine the third, and it is now the ninth. I guess I’ll wait furthermore.
I was thinking about the name Jenny. It fits in.
And in her eyes you see nothing
no sign of love behind her tears
The two of us, wearin’ raincoats
standing solo
in, the, sun
the two of us Sunday drivin’
not arrivin’
Urgh, for some reason I’m depressed right now and can’t think. I can’t remember both songs lyrics! One song I can remember (oddly) is the Mr.Rogers song, I Want to Be Your Neighbor or something like that. I can’t get it outta my head….
This song is so true for me right now…
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I’m closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I’m falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I’ve held onto
I’m standing here until you make me move
I’m hanging by a moment here with you
Forgetting all I’m lacking
Completely incomplete
I’ll take your invitation
You take all of me now…
I’m falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I’ve held onto
I’m standing here until you make me move
I’m hanging by a moment here with you
I’m living for the only thing I know
I’m running and not quite sure where to go
And I don’t know what I’m diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
There’s nothing else to lose
There’s nothing else to find
There’s nothing in the world
That can change my mind
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
There is nothing else
Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I’m closer to where I started
Chasing after you….
I’m falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I’ve held onto
I’m standing here until you make me move
I’m hanging by a moment here with you
I’m living for the only thing I know
I’m running and not quite sure where to go
And I don’t know what I’m diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you
Just hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment (here with you)
Hanging by a moment here with you
♥♥♥
I have this stuck in my head right now…
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking-horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you’re gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaahhhhh…
Hopefully, it’s in your head now, too.
Oh, yay there are people here!
“I’m Looking Through You”
I’m looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don’t look different, but you have changed
I’m looking through you, you’re not the same
Your lips are moving, I cannot hear
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren’t clear
You don’t sound different, I’ve learned the game.
I’m looking through you, you’re not the same
Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You’re thinking of me, the same old way
You were above me, but not today
The only difference is you’re down there
I’m looking through you, and you’re nowhere
Why, tell me why, did you not treat me right?
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
I’m looking through you, where did you go
I thought I knew you, what did I know
You don’t look different, but you have changed
I’m looking through you, you’re not the same
Yeah! Oh baby you changed!
Aah! I’m looking through you!
Yeah! I’m looking through you!
You changed, you changed, you changed!
“Wait”
It’s been a long time
Now I’m coming back home
I’ve been away now
Oh how I’ve been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried
But if your heart breaks
Don’t wait, turn me away
And if your heart’s strong
Hold on, I won’t delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I’ve been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I’ll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
It’s been a long time
Now I’m coming back home
I’ve been away now
Oh how I’ve been alone
Wait till I come back to your side
We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried
I feel as though
You ought to know
That I’ve been good
As good as I can be
And if you do
I’ll trust in you
And know that you
Will wait for me
But if your heart breaks
Don’t wait, turn me away
And if your heart’s strong
Hold on, I won’t delay
Wait till I come back to your side
We’ll forget the tears we’ve cried
It’s been a long time
Now I’m coming back home
I’ve been away now
Oh, how I’ve been alone
*sigh* this thread will stay for ever young and will not die, will it?
Anyway, I’m writing a new song, I have no lyrics, I might not even make any. It kind of a soft piano song, I’m trying to see what will work on the guitar with it.
I wrote a parody of the song Sky Is Over by Serj Tankian.
“Pie Is Over”
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That you crave the whipped cream
Living in the hunger
Pie is over
Can’t you hear my stomach grumble?
Nearly starving, start to mumble
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
Someone out there might get hurt
The pie is over
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
Behind closed doors lie
The pies ready to be eaten too
Are you starving with me
And all of my dinnermates
Your not-so-gentle persuasion
Has been known get you anything
But somehow, but tonight, the pie is over
Can’t you hear my stomach grumble?
Nearly starving, start to mumble
lalala lalalalalala
lalala lalalalalala
Not even for the cream (lalala lalalalalala)
Not even for the cream (lalala lalalalalala)
Not even for the cream
Don’t you want me to eat?
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
Someone out there might get hurt
The pie is over
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
Someone out there might get hurt
The pie is over
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
Someone out there might get hurt
The pie is over
Even though there’s no dessert
The pie is over
The pie is over…ugh
It’s about someone who would normally call out for dessert, but for some reason he isn’t, and everyone else is starving and wants their pie but he doesn’t ask for it. If that makes sense.
111- Very good!
Gather ’round while I sing you of Victor Von Doom-
Poor singer never made it past there.
*continues, extemporizing to the tune of Tom Lehrer’s song “Wernher von Braun”*
“The man from Latveria
With a cast-iron exterior.
Displaying his brilliance takes plenty of room,
So he longs for world conquest, does Victor Von Doom.”
I love tihs song’s verses. The chorus? Not so much…
You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothin’
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway
You can chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway
God is great
But sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway
This world’s gone crazy
It’s hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway
You can love someone with all your heart
For all the right reasons
In a moment they can choose to walk away
Love ’em anyway
God is great
But sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yea – I do it anyway
You can pour your soul out singing
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yea, sing it anyway
Yeah, yeah!
I sing
I dream
I love anyway
113- Ha, ha!
A favorite song, by LIVE, a truly awesome band.
Battleflag on the bassonet
Oil and blood on the bayonnet
Crowded downstairs
hit the floor
What are we fighting for?
*repeat*
The world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
Holocaust on a hairpin trigger
Ain’t no game so forget the score
What are we fighting for?
*repeat*
What will I tell my daughter
What will you tell your son
That we’re nothing but faceless generations
What are we fighting for?
*repeat*
The crucifix ain’t no baseball bat
Tell me what kinda god is that
There ain’t nothin’ more godless
Than a war
So what are we fighting for??
*repeat*
Instant Pie’s gonna get you,
Gonna hit you right on the head,
You better get yourself together,
Pretty soon you’re gonna be pied,
What in the musiverse you thinking of,
Laughing in the face of Muse,
What on earth you tryin’ to do,
It’s up to you, yeah you.
Instant Pie’s gonna hit you,
Gonna pie you right in the face,
Better get yourself together darlin’,
Join the muser race,
How in the world you gonna see,
Laughin’ at fools like me,
Who on earth d’you think you are,
A muse,
Well, right you are.
Well we all love pie,
Like kokopelli and the Musers and I
Well we all love pie
Ev’ryone come on.
Instant Pie’s gonna get you,
Gonna pie you off your feet,
Better recognize your brothers,
Ev’ryone you meet,
Why in the musiverse are we here,
Surely not to live in pain and fear,
Why on earth are you there,
When you’re ev’rywhere,
Come and get your share.
Well we all love pie,
Like kokopelli and the musers and the I,
Yeah we all love pie,
Come on and on and on on on,
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah-.
Well we all love pie,

On and on and on on and on.
Well we all love pie,
Like kokopelli and the musers and I.
Well we all love pie,
Like the Kokopelli and the musers and I.
Yeah we all love pie,
Like kokopelli and the musers and I.
The trouble is, more things rhyme with “Braun” than “Doom”.
Oh, there are plenty of rhymes for “Doom.”
Umm, like……..BOOM!!! (sorry, I couldn’t resist that one!)
Or, “plume”, I guess. I can’t rhyme things to save my life.
120- Already used boom for the end of the second verse:
“When their (The Fantastic Four’s) rocket went up, I wish they’d gone boom!”
“But someday I’ll get them.” Says Victor Von Doom.
I can’t think of anything that matches the “hypocritical/apolitical” one, either.
*improvising*
“Vic has good reason to wallow in gloom.
What makes him most mis’able
Is a woman invisible.
Since Sue and Reed Richards became bride and groom,
He’s sworn to possess her for Victor Von Doom.”
Hehe, I made up a tiny song about my dog to the tune of “Super Trouper”
Tonight the
Super Pooper (insert dogs name here)s is gonna find me
Like she always does
I’m gonna have to pick it up
Feeling like a janitor
Tonight the
Super Poopers fumes are gonna kill me
And I’ll still feel blue
Like I always do
‘Cause somewhere in the grass there’s poo
*falls down laughing* it’s so incredibly stupid!
Here’s a REALLY ANNOYING SONG.
Teacher (insanely perky): Gooooooooood morning!
Kids (also insanely perky): Good morning!
Teacher: How are you?
Kids: Just fine!
Teacher: Now that we’re together, learning is so much funner, the more kids the better, so come on everyone!
Teacher: Goooooooooooood morning!
Kids: Good morning!
Teacher: How are you?
Kids: Just fine!
Both: Howdy hello how do you do today!
Repeat a bunch of times.
The Barney Song…
I hate you
You hate me
Lets get together and kill Barney
With a great big ax and a wrecking ball too
Won’t you say you’ll kill him too.
125 –
Another Barney song:
A B C D E F G
Barney is my enemy
Stick a pistol up his nose
Pull the trigger
and he blows!
A B C D E F G
Barney is now dead
yay me!
Than there’s that annoying Mount Rushmore Barney song that I’d rather not sing.
Yay! AFI!
Love Like Winter.
Warn your warmth to turn away,
Here it’s December,
Everyday. [small girlish echo:] I like that
Press your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you’ll stay. [distant:] love like winter
For of sugar and ice,
I am made. I am made
It’s in the blood,
It’s in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
She exhales vanilla lace,
I barely dreamt her, yesterday. [echo:] yesterday
Read the lines in the mirror through,
The lipstick trace.
Por siempre
She said “It seems you’re somewhere, far away” to his face.
It’s in the blood,
It’s in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
She wanted love,
I taste of blood.
She bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
Love Like Winter.
Love Like Winter.
Winter.
Three, four
It’s in the blood,
It’s in the blood.
I met my love before I was born.
He wanted love,
I taste of blood.
He bit my lip, and drank my war,
From years before, from years before.
From years before.
Fire in the Sky:
Prometheus, they say, brought God’s fire down to man.
And we’ve caught it, tamed it, trained it since our history began.
Now we’re going back to heaven just to look him in the eye,
And there’s a thunder ‘cross the land, and a fire in the sky.
Gagarin was the first, back in nineteen sixty-one,
When like Icarus, undaunted, he climbed to reach the Sun.
And he knew he might not make it, for it’s never hard to die —
But he lifted off the pad, and rode a fire in the sky!
Yet a higher goal was calling, and we vowed to reach it soon.
And we gave ourselves a decade to put fire on the Moon.
And Apollo told the world, “We can do it if we try,â€
And there was one small step — and a fire in the sky!
I dreamed last night of a little boy’s first spaceflight.
Turned into me, watching a black and white TV.
There was a fire in the sky, I’ll remember until I die.
A fire in the sky…a fire in the sky!
Then two decades from Gagarin, twenty years to the day,
Came a shuttle named Columbia to open up the way.
And they said she’s just a truck — but she’s a truck that’s aiming high.
See her big jets burning, see her fire in the sky!
Yet the gods do not give lightly of the powers they have made,
And with Challenger and seven, once again the price is paid.
Though a nation watched her falling, yet a world could only cry
As they passed from us to glory, riding fire in the sky.
Now the rest is up to us, and there’s a future to be won.
We must turn our faces outward, we will do what must be done.
For no cradle lasts forever, every bird must learn to fly.
And we’re going to the stars — see our fire in the sky!
Yes, we’re going to the stars — see our fire in the sky!
Quite possibly the best space song ever.
“My Immortal”, by Evanescence
I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
‘Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just to real
There’s just to much that time can not erase
When you cried I’d
Wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d
Fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through
All of these years
And you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just to real
There’s just to much that time cannot erase
When you cried I’d
Wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d
Fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand
Through all of these years
And you still have
All of me
And I’ve tried so hard
To tell myself that you’re gone
But though you’re still with me
I’ve been been alone
I’m alone
When you cried I’d
Wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d
Fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand
Through all of these years
And you still have
All of me…
STAR FIRE
Three men sit tensely waiting for the dawn;
The brilliant burst of fire that will carry them on.
The anticipation grows
For the crew that waits below
In the endless, breathless hours
Before the dawn.
Star Fire…Star Fire!
Bear my soul to touch the universe beyond.
Ten thousand hands to build the shining shell.
It took a dozen years and love to build it well.
Everyone who touched its birth,
Though they be bound on Earth,
Will be with the astronauts that in her dwell.
Star Fire…Star Fire!
It’s singing in my blood; I know it well.
We can know the promise of the stars,
Seeking ‘till we find that heritage is ours.
And with hearts both true and bold,
We will face what we behold
When we seek to find our answer in the stars.
Star Fire…Star Fire!
The promise of the universe is ours.
Like A Soldier:
+LIVE+
I just come down from the mountain
a happy man
turned on the television,
should of chewed off my hand
I’m sick of all the false glory
“in god we trust”
show me one dollar bill that hasn’t
passed through the cuss
And if you break my will
I will come back again to destroy everything
you stood for oh!
I will go on like a soldier
through the storms of love
and I take you back,
take you away from here my friend
and charge you up again
and charge you up again
We just come down from the mountain
where the breezes were blowin
and everything was growin
like some tree in the bush
still I gotta live my life here with some pretty scary bretheren
but now I’m a rebel on a mission, baby
to live and die by my smile
And if you break my will
I will come back again to destroy everything
you stood for….oh yeah!
I will go on like a soldier
through the storms of love
and I take you back,
take you away
from here my friend
and charge you up again
charge you up again
charge you up again, yeah
let’s go to ray’s, not to pizza hut
let’s go to the pig, not to starbux
let’s vote for Nader, what are we waitin’ for?
I’m gonna live to be a hundred and sixty four to the crib
then back to the studio
to write a song so good make a midget grow
from the north pole, down to Mexico if you don’t know the words, f*** it!
let’s go!
I will go on like a soldier
through the storms of love
and I take you back,
take you away
from here my friend
and charge you up again
charge you up again
charge you up again
charge you up again…
Perfect by nature
Icons of self-indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame?
Don’t you see me?
You know you’ve got everybody fooled
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you’re pretending
But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don’t know how you betrayed me
And somehow you’ve got everybody fooled
Without the mask
Where will you hide
Can’t find yourself
Lost in your lie
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don’t love you any more
It never was and never will be
You don’t know how you’ve betrayed me
And somehow you’ve got everybody fooled
Never was and never will be
You’re not real and you can’t save me
And somehow now you’re everybody’s fool
It Was A Lover And His Lass
It was a lover and his lass
With a hey and a ho and a hey non-ni-no
With a hey non-ni non-ni-no
That o’er the green cornfield did pass
In spring time in spring time
In spring time, the only pretty ring time
When the birds do sing, Hey ding-a-ding-a ding
Hey ding-a ding-a-ding
Hey ding-ading-a-ding
Sweet lovers love the Spring.
Between the acres of the rye
With a hey and a ho and a hey non-ni-no
And a hey non-ni-no, non-ni-no
These pretty country folks would lie
In spring time in spring time
In spring time, the only pretty ring time
When the birds do sing, Hey ding-a-ding-a ding
Hey ding-a ding-a-ding
Hey ding-ading-a-ding
Sweet lovers love the Spring.
And therefore take the present time
With a hey and a ho and a hey non-ni-no
And a hey non-ni-no, non-ni-no
For love is crowned with the prime
In spring time in spring time
In spring time, the only pretty ring time
When the birds do sing, Hey ding-a-ding-a ding
Hey ding-a ding-a-ding
Hey ding-ading-a-ding
Sweet lovers love the Spring.
This is one of my new favorite songs. Anyone know Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog?
This is: Bad Horse (the Application)
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
He rides across the nation
The thoroughbred of sin
He got the application
You just sent in
It needs evaluation
So let the games begin
A heinous crime, a show of force
A murder would be nice of course
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
Bad Horse
He’s Bad
The Evil League of Evil
Is watching so beware
The grade that you receive
Will be your last we swear
So make the Bad Horse gleeful
Or he’ll make you his mare….
You’re saddled up
There’s no recourse
It’s Hi-Ho Silver
Signed Bad Horse
Yet another Dr. Horrible song. My favorite one.
This is a two-singer song, so P is singer 2 and H is singer 1.
On The Rise
H:Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don’t know if I’ll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the water main.
Listen close to everybody’s heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s filled with filth and lies
but it’s plain to see evil inside of me
is on the rise.
P: Look around
We’re living with the lost and found
Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground
And you believe there’s good in everybody’s heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope you can do your part
To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise
Because it seems to me some kind of harmony
Is on the rise
H: Anyone with half a brain
P: Take it slow
H: Could spend their whole life howling in pain
P: He looks at me and seems to know
H: Because the dark is everywhere and
P: The things that I’m afraid to show
H: Penny doesn’t seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain
P: and suddenly I feel this glow
H: Listen close to everybody’s heart
P: And I believe there’s good in everybody’s heart
H: and hear that breaking sound
P: keep it safe and sound
H: Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
P: With hope you can do your part
H: And crashing to the ground
P: To turn a life around
H: I cannot believe my eyes how the world’s filled with filth and lies
P:I cannot believe my eyes how the world’s finally growing wise
H: But it’s plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise
P: And it’s plain to see rapture inside of me is on the rise
I am going to triple-post for song number 3…
Songs 3 and 4:
Brand New Day:
This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
It’s true I was vague on the ‘How’
so how can it be that you have shown me the light?
It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die
How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day
All the times that you beat me unconscious I’ll forgive
All the crimes Incomplete, listen honestly I’ll live
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Knowitall is through
Now my future’s so bright and I owe it all to you Who showed me the light
It’s a brand new me
I’ve got no remorse
Now the water’s rising but I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna Show Bad Horse
It’s a Brand New Day
And Penny will see the evil me
Not a joke not a dork not a failure
And she may cry but her tears will dry
When I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.
It’s a brand new day
Yeah the sun is high
All the angels sing
Because you’re gonna die
Go ahead and laugh
Yeah I’m a funny guy
Tell everyone goodbye
It’s a brand new day
Bad Horse Phonecall (Go Kill Someone):
He saw the operation
You tried to pull today
But your humiliation means he still votes “Neighâ€
And now assassination is just the only way
There will be blood
It might be yours
So go kill someone
Signed Bad Horse
What about the Freeze-Ray song?
I still can’t get this part of the song outta my head!
In spring time, the only pretty ring time
When the birds do sing, Hey ding-a-ding-a ding
Hey ding-a ding-a-ding
Hey ding-ading-a-ding
Sweet lovers love the Spring.
But than I sing it a different way the real tune goes.
Yay, spring!
Yay summer!
Yayness!
Oh yes! It’s coming right up, Mr. Coontz!
——————
Freeze-Ray:
Laundry day
See you there
Under things
Tumbling
Wanna say
Love your hair
Here I go
Mumbling
With my freeze ray
I will stop
The world
With my freeze ray
I will find the time to
Find the words to
Tell you how
How you make
Make me feel
What’s the phrase?
Like a fool
Kinda sick
Special needs
Anyways
With my freeze ray I will stop
The pain
It’s not a death ray or an ice beam
That’s all Johnny Snow
I just think you need time to know
That I’m the guy to make it real
The feelings you don’t dare to feel
I’ll bend the world to our will
And we’ll make time stand still
That’s the plan
Rule the world
You and me
Anyday
Love your hair
(what?)
No I…I uh… love the air
Anyway
With my freeze ray I will stop–

My family now keeps saying “What a random happenstance!”
My mom also said to me that I was driving a spork into my leg.
We’re a little…obsessed. Is that too obvious?
It’s amazing how relevant Pokemon lyrics can be.
I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
Just one moment and I knew
You’re my best friend
‘Do anything
For you
We’ve gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we’ve always been together
Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You’re the part of my life
I’ll always remember
The time has come
It’s for the best I know it
Who could’ve guessed that you and I…
somehow, someday
We’d have to say goodbye.
You’ve helped me find
The strengh inside
And the courage
To make all my dreams come true
How will I find
Another friend
Like you
Two of a kind
That’s what we are
And it seemed
Like we were always winning
But as our team
Is torn apart
I wish we could go
Back to the beginning
The time has come
It’s for the best I know it
Who could’ve guessed that you and I…
Somehow, some way
We’d have to say goodbye.
Somehow today…
…we have to say goodbye.
It’s so weird not to have the comment box shrinking on me.
I frequently sing this while scrubbing canola oil off of the dishes at the cinema:
I hope you’re happy
I hope you’re happy now
I hope you’re happy how
You’ve hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you’re clever-
I hope you’re happy
I hope you’re happy too
I hope you’re proud how
You would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition-
So though I can’t imagine how
I hope you’re happy…
Right now…
*Elphie, listen to me- just, say you’re sorry*
You can still be with the wizard
What you’ve worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted…
I know. But I don’t want it
No…
I can’t want it anymore…
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules of
Someone else’s game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap….
It’s time to try
Defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down…
Can’t I make you understand
You’re having delusions of grandeur
I’m through accepting limits
‘Cause someone says there so
Some things I cannot change
But ’til I try I’ll never know
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love, I guess I’ve lost
Well if that’s love it comes at
Much to high a cost-
I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
And they’ll never pull me down…
*Glinda… Come with me. Think of what we could do… Together…*
Unlimited…
Together we’re
Unlimited…
Together we’ll
Be the greatest team there’s
Ever been
Glinda…
Dreams the way we
Planned them…
If we work in tandem…
There’s no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity…
They’d never bring us down…
*Well? Are you coming*
*some dialogue*
I hope you’re happy…
Now that you’re choosing this…
You too.
I hope it brings you bliss…
I really hope you get it
And you don’t live to regret it
I hope you’re happy in the end…
I hope you’re happy…
My…
Friend…
*more dialogue*
So if you’d care to find me
Look to the Western sky
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I’m flying solo
At least I’m flying free
To those who’d ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I
Am defying gravity
I’m flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I’ll match them in renown…
And nobody
In all of Oz
No wizard that there is – or was
I ever gonna bring me
Down!
142-Cake, I LOVE that song! I saw the traveling Broadway cast of Wicked perform, too!
I’m Not That Girl:
Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I’m not that girl.
Don’t dream too far
Don’t lose sight of who you are
Don’t remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I’m not that girl
Ev’ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn’t soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who’s winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with gentle curl
That’s the girl he chose
And heaven knows
I’m not that girl…
Don’t wish, don’t start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn’t born for the rose and pearl
There’s a girl I know
He loves her so
I’m not that girl…
(140) My favorite line: “Four sweater-vests!”
is it sad that i saw “my favorite line: “four sweater-vests!”” in the recent comments and my brain immediately jumped to dr horrible?
my favorites are the freeze-ray song, the first and last songs of act 2, and the song in the middle of act 3 after dr horrible froze captain hammer
“This world is going to BURN! BURN! Yeah, it’s two “R”s, H-O-R-R…BURN!”
Does anybody know Evanescence? I love Evanescence!
“Bring Me To Life” is such a great song!
COOLEST. SAD. BROADWAY. SONG. EVER.
ELLE:
Take back the books and pack up the clothes
Clear out the room and drop off the key
Leave with what’s left of my dignity
Get in the car and just go
Chalk it all up to experience
They said I’d fail but I disagreed
Who could say then where my path would lead?
Well, now I know
Back to the sun
Back to the shore
Back to what I was before
Back where I’m known
Back in my own
Very small pond
Laugh with my friends
When I arrive
We’ll drop the top and just drive
That’s fine with me
Just let me be
Legally Blonde
Thanks for your help and for all you’ve done
Thank you for treating me decently
EMMETT
(spoken) What’s wrong?
ELLE
Maybe someday you can visit me
Give me a call, say hello
EMMETT
Wait, where are you going?
ELLE
Sorry I’m letting down everyone
EMMETT
What brought on this?
ELLE
You did your best with a hopeless case
EMMETT
That’s ludicrous
BOTH
You are the best thing about this place
EMMETT
Elle, you should know…
ELLE
(spoken) Callahan hit on me.
EMMETT
(spoken) He what?
ELLE
(spoken) He kissed me. He fired me. There’s no reason for me to stay.
EMMETT:
What about love?
I never mentioned love
The timing’s bad, I know
But perhaps if I made it more clear
That you belong right here
You wouldn’t have to go
Cause you know that I’m so much in love…
ELLE:
Back to the sun
Back to the shore
Back to what I was before
EMMETT:
Please will you open the door
ELLE:
Lie on the beach
Dream within reach
Don’t stray beyond
EMMETT:
We both know you’re worth so much more
ELLE:
Some girls fight hard
Some face the trial
Some girls were just meant to smile
EMMETT:
If you can hear, can I just say
How much I want you to stay
ELLE:
It’s not up to me
Just let me be
Legally Blonde
EMMETT:
I need you to stay…
ELLE:
It’s not up to me
Just let me be
Legally Blonde
143- Awesome! I’ve seen it thrice.
146- Evanescence is awesome. They’re one of my favorite bands.
Oh, I love Legally Blonde! The movie, that is.
147-hahaha, yes
oh my god, oh my god you guys…
freaking love that musical, if only to watch the guys’ faces when we start blasting it
149-THE MOVIE??!! I saw the Reality Show first, bought tickets for the musical when I was up in New York, saw it, loving it!
And…the traveling Broadway cast of LB is coming to my town! I’ll get to see it AGAIN! YAYYY!!!
I love this song! ‘Check Yes Juliet’ by We The Kings
Check yes Juliet
Are you with me?
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won’t go until you come outside.
Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I’ll keep tossing rocks at your window
There’s no turning back for us tonight.
Lace up your shoes
Eh Oh Eh Ohhh
Here’s how we do
Run, baby, run
Don’t ever look back.
They’ll tear us apart
If you give them the chance.
Don’t sell your heart.
Don’t say we’re not meant to be.
Run, baby, run.
Forever we’ll be
You and me.
Check yes Juliet
I’ll be waiting
Wishing, wanting
Yours for the taking.
Just sneak out
And don’t tell a soul goodbye.
Check yes Juliet
Here’s the countdown
3… 2… 1… now fall in my arms
Now they can change the locks
Don’t let them change your mind
Lace up your shoes
Eh Oh Eh Ohhh
Here’s how we do
Run, baby, run
Don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don’t sell your heart
Don’t say we’re not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we’ll be
You and me
We’re flying through the night
We’re flying through the night
Way up high,
The view from here is getting better with
You by my side
Run baby run
Don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don’t sell your heart
Don’t say we’re not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we’ll be…
Run baby run
Don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don’t sell your heart
Don’t say we’re not meant to be
Run baby run
Forever we’ll be
You and me
You and me
You and me
151-It’s “Ohmigod, ohmigod you guys…”
Deal with it!
153-ohmigod, because spelling totally like, matters when you talk about legally blonde.
especially, like, it has to be misspelled right or it’s just like, totally wrong!
Ohmigod! You, like, don’t have to be, like, TOTALLY, like, pushy! You, like, can do it, like, your own way!
142- I love that song so mcuhh! ‘Defying Gravity’, from Wicked! I went to see the show in Chicago and can’t get enough of it. Me and my friend do a duet to that song, wheere I’m Elphaba and she’s Glinda.
154-Ohmigod! I could totally, like, slap someone for talking like, like this!
Spring Awakening. You might see me in this whem I’m older. I’m auditioning when I can.
My Junk Is You:
[WENDLA]
In the midst of this nothing. This miss of a life.
Still there’s this wanting to see you go by.
[MARTHA]
It’s almost like lovin’. Sad as that is.
[THEA]
May not be cool, but it’s so where I live.
[ANNA]
It’s like I’m your lover or more like your ghost.
I spend the day wondering what you do, where you go.
[THEA]
I try and just kick it but what can I do.
We’ve all got our junk, and my junk is you.
[ALL GIRLS]
See us, winter walking after a storm.
It’s chill in the wind but it’s warm in your arms.
The stop all snow line, may not be true.
We’ve all got our junk, and my junk is you.
[GEORG]
Well, you’ll have to excuse me, I know it’s so off.
I love when you do stuff that’s rude and so wrong.
[HANSCHEN]
I go up to my room, turn the stereo on…
Shoot up some you, and the you is some song.
[ANNA]
I lie back just drifting and play out these scenes
I ride on the rush of all the hopes and the dreams.
[THEA]
I May be neglecting the things I should do.
But we’ve all got our junk, and my junk is you.
[ALL]
See we still keep talking after you’re gone.
You still with me then feels so good in my arms.
They say you go blind, maybe it’s true.
We’ve all got our junk, and my junk is you.
It’s like we stop time. What can I do?
We’ve all got our junk, and my junk is you.
My junk is you.
My junk is you.
You. You. You.
No cares for me
I’m happy as I can be
I’ve learned to love and to live
Devil may care
No cares and woes
Whatever comes later goes
That’s how I’ll take and I’ll give
Devil may care
When the day is through, I suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets, loses the night
For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn
He who is wise never tries to revise what’s past and gone
Live love today, and come tomorrow what may
Don’t even stop for a sigh, it doesn’t help if you cry
That’s how I’ll live and I’ll die
Devil may care
When the day is through, I suffer no regrets
I know that he who frets, loses the night
For only a fool, thinks he can hold back the dawn
He who is wise never tries to revise what’s past and gone
Live love today, and come tomorrow what may
Don’t even stop for a sigh, it doesn’t help if you cry
That’s how I’ll live and I’ll die
Devil may care
A true song for Musers. Or me, anyway…
My Interpretation
You talk about life, you talk about death,
And everything in between,
Like it’s nothing, and the words are easy.
You talk about me, and you talk about you,
And everything I do,
Like it’s something, that needs repeating.
I don’t need an alibi or for you to realize,
The things we left unsaid,
Are only taking space up in our head.
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
It does me up and down,
It doesn’t matter now.
(chorus:)
‘Cause I don’t care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don’t need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
And it don’t, don’t make sense.
The first two weeks turn into ten,
I hold my breath and wonder when it’ll happen,
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true,
And half of what I didn’t do could be different,
Would it make it better?
If we forget the things we know.
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now.
(chorus)
It’s really not such a sacrifice
(chorus)
And it don’t have to make no sense to you at all,
‘Cause this is my interpretation, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-sigh-
TIme of My Life — David Cook…
I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn
And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
and I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
Arms open wide
Face to the sun
I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life.
This song means so much to me.
Some cool songs. They have BUNNY mentioning!
I’ve Got a Theory (Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow)
I’ve got a theory
That it’s a demon
A dancing demon
No, something isn’t right there.
I’ve got a theory
Some kid is dreaming
And we’re all stuck inside
His wacky Broadway nightmare
I’ve got a theory we should work this out
It’s getting eerie
What’s this cheery
Singing all about?
It could be witches
Some evil witches,
Which is ridiculous
‘Cause witches,
They were persecuted
Wicca good
And love the earth
And women power,
And I’ll be over here
I’ve got a theory
It could be bunnies
[crickets chirp]
I’ve got a–
Bunnies aren’t just cute like everybody supposes
They 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
maybe midgets?
I’ve got a theory,
We should work this fast
Because it clearly
Could get serious
Before it’s passed
I’ve got a theory
What Can’t We Face (Buffy, Giles, Xander, Anya, Tara, Willow)
It doesn’t matter
What can’t we face if we’re together?
What’s in this place that we can’t weather?
Apocalypse
We’ve all been there
The same old trips
Why should we care?
All: What can’t we do if we get in it?
We’ll work it through within a minute
We have to try
We’ll pay the price
It’s do or die
Hey, I’ve died twice
All: What can’t we face
What can’t we face?
If we’re together?
What’s in this place
That we can’t weather?
We’re together
There’s nothing we can’t face
Except for bunnies
Am going to double post…
YES! MORE COOL SONGS!
Standing In The Way (Giles)
You’re not ready
For the world outside
You keep pretending,
but you just can’t hide
I know I said that I’d
Be standing by your side
But I
Your path’s unbeaten,
And it’s all uphill
And you can meet it,
But you never will
And I’m the reason that you’re standing still
But I
I wish I could say
The right words
To lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father
And take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
I’m standing in the way
The cries around you,
You don’t hear at all
‘Cause you know I’m here
To take that call
So you just lie there when
You should be standing tall
But I
I wish I could
Lay your arms down
And let you rest at last
Wish I could
Slay your demons
But now that time has passed
Wish I could stay here
Your stalwart, standing fast
But I’m
Standing in the way
I’m just standing
In the way
Life’s a Show (Buffy)
Life’s a show and we all play a part
And when the music starts,
We open up our hearts
It’s all right if some things come out wrong.
We’ll sing a happy song
And you can sing along.
Where’s 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.
Don’t give me songs.
Don’t give me songs.
Give me something to sing about.
I need something to sing about.
Life’s a song
You don’t get to rehearse.
And every single verse
Can make it that much worse.
Still my friends
Don’t know why I ignore
The million things or more
I should be dancing for.
All the joy
Life sends.
Family
And friends.
All the twists
And bends
Knowing that
It ends.
Well that
Depends…
On if they let you go,
On if they know enough to know
That when you bow
You leave the crowd.
There was no pain,
No fear, no doubt
Till they pulled me out
Of heaven.
So that’s my refrain.
I live in hell
’Cause I’ve been expelled
From heaven.
I think I was in heaven.
So give me something to sing about.
Please give me something.
Life’s not a song.
Life isn’t bliss.
Life is just this.
It’s living.
You’ll get along.
The pain that you feel
Only can heal
By living.
You have to go on living.
So that one of us is living.
Well if you wanted honesty, that’s all you had to say.
I never want to let you down or have you go, it’s better off this way.
For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
You wear me out.
What will it take to show you that it’s not the life it seems?
(I’m not okay)
I told you time and time again you sing the words but don’t know what they mean
(I’m not okay)
So be a joke and look, another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
I’m not okay.
You wear me out.
Forget about the dirty looks
The photographs your boyfriend took?
You said you read me like a book, but the pages are all torn and frayed
I’m okay.
I’m okay!
I’m okay, now
(I’m okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me
Because I’m telling you the truth
I mean this, I’m okay!
(Trust Me)
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
Well, I’m not okay
I’m not o-f******-kay
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
(Okay)
I’m Not Okay, My Chemical Romance. (If you haven’t seen the music video, see it now.)
We want a musical revolution
On we go.
We’ll do it one by one
’till we get it done.
A musical revolution
Here we go
We’ve be sittin with clouds above our heads

When it’ blue

We need a musical revolution!
Alright!

We want a musical revolution
On we go.
We’ll do it one by one
’till we get it done.
A musical revolution
Here we go!
More to come.
Going Through The Motions (Buffy, Demons)
Every single night the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight
Still, I always feel the strange estrangement
Nothing here is real,
Nothing here is right
I’ve been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
That I’ve been
Going through the motions
Walking through the part
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart
I was always brave and kind of righteous
Now I find I’m wavering
Crawl out of your grave you’ll find this fight
Just doesn’t mean a thing
She ain’t got that swing
Thanks for noticing
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately, we can tell
That she’s just
Going through the motions
Faking it somehow
She’s not even half the girl she…
ow
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life’s endeavour
How can I repay?
Whatever
I don’t want to be
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive
I can’t even see
If this is really me
And I just wanna be
Alive
Where Do We Go From Here? (all)
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
The battle’s done,
And we kind of won
So we sound our victory cheer
Where do we go from here?
Why is the path unclear?
When we know home is near
Understand
We’ll go hand in hand
But we’ll walk alone in fear
Tell me
Where do we go from here?
When does the end appear?
Heh. Bugger this.
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close
On a kiss god knows
We can tell the end is near
A customer!
Wait! What’s yer rush?
What’s yer hurry?
You gave me such a—
Fright. I thought you was a ghost.
Half a minute, can’tcher?
Sit!
Sit ye down!
Sit!
All I meant is that I
Haven’t seen a customer for weeks.
Did you come in for a pie, sir?
Do forgive me if me head’s a little vague—
What is that?
But you’d think we had the plague—
From the way that people—
Keep avoiding–
No you don’t!
Heaven knows I try, sir!
But there’s no one comes in even to inhale—
Right you are you are, sir. Would you like a drop of ale?
Mind you, I can’t hardly blame them—
Th ese are probably the worst pies in London.
I know why nobody cares to take them—
I should know,
I make them.
But good? No,
The worst pies in London—
Even that’s polite.
The worst pies in London—
If you doubt it, take a bite.
Is that just disgusting?
You have to concede it.
It’s nothing but crusting—
Here, drink this, you’ll need it—
The worst pies in London.
And no wonder with the price of
Meat what it is—
When you get it.
Never
Though I’d live to see the day men’d think it was a treat
Finding poor
Animals
Wot are dying in the street.
Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop,
Does a business, but I notice something weird—
Lately all her neighbors’ cats have disappeared.
Have to hand it to her—
Wot I calls
Enterprise,
Popping pussies into pies.
Wouldn’t do in my shop—
Just the thought of it’s enough to make you sick.
And I’m telling you them pussy cats is quick.
No denying times is hard, sir—
Even harder than
The worst pies in London.
Only lard and nothing more—
Is that just revolting?
All greasy and gritty,
It looks like it’s molting,
And tastes like—
Well, pity
A woman alone
With limited wind
And the worst pies in London!
Ah sir,
Times is hard. Times is hard.
Save Ginny Weasley From Dean Thomas
By Harry and the Potters
Your mom is like a mom to me
And your brother is like a brother to me
Can’t you see things were meant to be
Ginny
When we were young and innocent
I saved you from a basilisk
I think that that deserves a kiss
But you’re all over Dean Thomas
When I heard that you two split up
I got a feeling in my gut
It was like my insides were dancing
The conga line
Get on the line
And we’ll have a good time
Oh Ginny Weasley
You’re so dreamy
Ginny Weasley
Ron’s gonna kill me
So you know that Voldemort is
Trying to kill me
And I don’t want you caught in between
Like Sirius Black and my mom and my dad
I don’t want to lose you
So I can’t see you
I don’t want to lose you
So you know I can’t see you
But my wizard scar still burns for you
My wizard scar still burns for you
My wizard scar still burns for you
The Love Letter – Blaqk Audio
What could you see?
What could you find?
If we meet please avert your eyes
What I’ll never show, what you’ll never find
Is explosive so hide your eyes
What should mean nothing to you
Has left a poison running straight from your lips
And into (lead to) the poison I’m becoming
Walk right through me, I’m not really there
What could you see?
What could you find?
If we meet please avert your eyes
What I’ll never show, what you’ll never find
Is explosive so hide your eyes
Once it meant something to me
I find it rather stunning
I draped it in cold and clarity
It’s true, I find the look becoming
Walk right through me, I’m not really there
What could you see?
What could you find?
If we meet please avert your eyes
What I’ll never show, what you’ll never find
Is explosive so hide your eyes
It’s a day gone away
Turn away from the day, it’s explosive
It’s a day gone away
Turn away from the day, it’s explosive
What could you see?
What could you find?
If we meet please avert your eyes
What I’ll never show, what you’ll never find
Is explosive so hide your eyes
What could you see?
What could you find?
If we meet please avert your eyes
What I’ll never show, what you’ll never find
Is explosive
So hide your eyes
Waterloo Sunset- The Kinks.
Dirty old river, must you keep rolling
Flowin’ into the night
People so busy, making me dizzy
Taxi lights shine so bright
But I don’t need no friends
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is evening time
And waterloo sunset’s fine
Waterloo sunset’s fine
Terry meets Julie; Waterloo Station
Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, I don’t like to wander
I stay at home at night
But I don’t feel afraid
As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise
Every day I look at the world from my window
But chilly, chilly is evening time
And waterloo sunset’s fine
Waterloo sunset’s fine
Millions of people swarming like flies ’round
Waterloo Underground
But Terry and Julie cross over the river
Where they feel safe and sound
And they don’t need no friends
As long as they gaze on Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise
Waterloo sunset’s fine (x10)
This is my self- pity song.
I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu—-jah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair, she broke your throne, she cut your hair, and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu—-jah
Maybe I have been here before, I know this room; I have walked this floor, I used to live alone before I knew you
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch, love is not a victory march, it’s a cold and its a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu—-jah
There was a time you let me know whats really going on below, but now you never show it to me, do you? (and)
Remember when I moved in you; the holy dark was moving too, and every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu—-jah
Maybe there’s a God above, and all I ever learned from love was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And its not a cry you can hear at night, its not somebody who’s seen the light, its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu–jah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu—u—jah
170- We sing that in choir
loves that song.
I wrote this with the help of my dad and sisters. It’s a parody of “Under The Sea”.
The fungi is growing greener, inside our family’s car.
And if you have lost something, there’s no need to look too far.
Just look through the trash around you, the food that was never ate.
Crumpled-up tissues, magazine issues, and dried-up fishing
bait!
Under the seat (under the seat), Under the seat (under the seat)
It’s far from neat, so don’t stick your feet
Under the seat!
Cockroaches have a home there, so do worms and flies.
Blood-sucking bats, big hairy rats, and ants of enormous size!
Under the seat (under the seat), Under the seat (under the seat)
I must repeat, don’t stick your feet, they look like meat, they will get eat,
Under the sea…under the sea…UNDER THE SEAT!
(172) Rainbowstar — Internal rhyme! Very nice.
166- Oh, I love that song!
This is, without a doubt, the BEST song ever!!! It’s from Sailor Moon, but there’s a video with Chiyo-Chan from Azumanga Daioh sining it on Youtube. Just search Chiyo Raps.

I have had this song stuck in my head for two days.
The Ballad of John and Yoko by the Beatles
Standing in the dockets of Hampton
Trying to get to Hollander, France
The man in the mack
Says you gotta go back
You know, they didn’t even give us a chance
Christ, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the same
Peter Brown called to say
“You can make it okay
You can get married in Gibraltanear Spain”
Christ, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me
Through the Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton
Talking in our beds full of wheat
The newspapers said “say, what you doing in bed”
I said “we’re only trying to get us a peace”
Christ, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me
Saving up your money for a rainy day
Giving all your clothes to charity
Last night the wife said
Pucon your own ed ((What the heck?))
Don’t take nothing but your soul, sic
Quickly made the trip to Vienna
Eating chocolate cake in the back
The newspaper said “she’s gone to his head
“They look like two gurus in drag”
Christ, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me
Coppiel and bring back to London
Fifty Eggos died in the sack
The men from the press said “we wish you success
“It’s good to have the both of you back”
Christ, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me
They way things are going
They’re gonna crucify me
Excuse any mistakes. I don’t know the real lyrics and I misinterpreted/misheard a lot of it.
Whoops, I left out
“They look just like two gurus in dragâ€
But I largely misinterpreted it.
Lady Bunniful and I sing a different version of the chorus:
“Cake, you know it ain’t easy
You know how hard it can be
The way things are going,
They’re going to bunnify me.”
I found some lyrics to the original song online:
Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France.
The man in the mac said, “You’ve got to turn back”.
You know they didn’t even give us a chance.
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re going to crucify me.
Finally made the plane into Paris,
Honeymooning down by the Seine.
Peter Brown called to say,
“You can make it O.K.,
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain”.
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re going to crucify me.
Drove from Paris to the Amsterdam Hilton,
Talking in our beds for a week.
The newspapers said, “Say what you doing in bed?”
I said, “We’re only trying to get us some peace”.
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re going to crucify me.
Saving up your money for a rainy day,
Giving all your clothes to charity.
Last night the wife said,
“Oh boy, when you’re dead
You don’t take nothing with you
But your soul – think!”
Made a lightning trip to Vienna,
eating chocolate cake in a bag.
The newspapers said, “She’s gone to his head,
They look just like two gurus in drag”.
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re going to crucify me.
Caught an early plane back to London.
Fifty acorns tied in a sack.
The men from the press said, “We wish you success,
It’s good to have the both of you back”.
Christ you know it ain’t easy,
You know how hard it can be.
The way things are going
They’re going to crucify me.
The way things are going
They’re going to crucify me.
177 – Haha.
And thanks. I did get a lot wrong. XD
175-
“Fifty Eggos died in a sack”?
I’ve got this song stuck in my head. It’s so annoying.
Crocodile Rock
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skipping stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can’t keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
But the years went by and the rock just died
Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy
Long nights crying by the record machine
dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans
But they’ll never kill the thrills we’ve got
burning up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning fast as the weeks went past
we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can’t keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skipping stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking
when your feet just can’t keep still
I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will
Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights
when Suzie wore her dresses tight
and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight
179 – I know.
But it DOES sound like that, in my defense! 
I’m a pirate.
A dirty rotten pirate.
I delight In stirring up a fight
And bopping little kiddies on the head
‘Till they’re
Dead.
A little piratical ditty for yiz all ter celebrate the day, in case ye were a-wondrin’ what ter sing!
Or, if yer tastes be more for the risque, haves yerself a go at these here lyrics:
In Amsterdam there lived a maid,
Mark well what I do say!
In Amsterdam there lived a maid and she was mistress of her trade,
I’ll go no more a rovin’ with you, fair maid!
Arr, I’d continue on, but I’m a-thinkin’ the Cap’n (Robert) and his officers wouldna be tae pleased wi’ it, there being the young cabin boys and pretty little lasses and all….we ain’t wantin’ ter corrupt their innocent little minds jes’ yet, now is we?
if yer wantin ter stick yer nose in a pint, heave up yer singin’ voice an’ try this chorus on fer size:
Where is me hat, me noggin noggin hat?
All gone for beer and tobacco!
For the brim is all wore out and the crown’s been kicked about,
And me hair is lookin’ out for better weather!
And it’s all for me grog,
Me jolly jolly grog,
All gone for beer and tobacco!
For I spent all me tin down on south street drinking gin
and across the western oceans I must wander!
Where is me boots? Me noggin noggin boots?
All gone for beer and tobacco!
For the heels are all wore out and the sole’s ben kicked about
And me toes are lookin’ out for better weather!
And it’s all for me grog,
Me jolly jolly grog,
All gone for beer and tobacco!
For I spent all me tin down on south street drinking gin
and across the western oceans I must wander!
[add many verses, covering all items of a sailor’s wardrobe, and a few other…umm, possessions or convinences as well]
I’m sick and stony broke and I’m parted from me smoke
And the sky is lookin’ blacker than the thunder
And the tavern keeper too, for I haven’t got the sous,
that’s the way you’re treated when you’re out and under!
And it’s all for me grog,
Me jolly jolly grog,
All gone for beer and tobacco!
For I spent all me tin down on south street drinking gin
and across the western oceans I must wander!
I’m sickly in me head and I haven’t been to bed
Since first we came ashore with all me plunder.
I see centipedes and snakes and I’m full of pains and aches
And I guess I’ll be a sailin’ on the morrow!
And it’s all for me grog,
Me jolly jolly grog,
All gone for beer and tobacco!
For I spent all me tin down on south street drinking gin
and across the western oceans I must wander!
and another sea farin’ classic:
when I was a little boy and so me mother told me
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!
If you do not kiss the girls your lips’ll grow all moldy!
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!
Way haul away, we’ll haul for better weather,
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!
King Loui was the king of France a’fore the revolution
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!
but then he got his head chopped off,
That spoiled his constitution!
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!
Way haul away, we’ll haul for better weather,
Way haul away, we’ll haul away Joe!
[and many, many more verses that go on and on and on forever.]
And last of all, (really!)
Long we’ve tossed on the roling main,
Now we’re safe ashore, Jack,
Don’t forget your old shipmate,
Folly rolly rolly rolly ri-i-do!
[and more verses that I can’t remember!]
Well mates, I hope yer enjoyin’ this fine selection o’ songs, some of me favorites that I’m a thinkin’ should help ye in celebratin’ this day!
Ye bin singin’ some of me favorite tunes, lass. Many thanks to yer.
There were two lofty ships, from old England came
Blow High! Blow low! And so sailed we,
One was the Prince o’ Luther and the other Prince o’ Wales.
Cruisin’ down along the coast of the High Barbaree.
“Aloft, there, aloft!” our bully [jolly] bosun cried.
Blow highl Blow low! An’ so sailed we!
“Look ahead, look astern, look to weather an’ a-lee!”
All a-cruisin’ down the coasts of the High Barbaree!
“Thcre’s naught upon the starn, sir, there’s naught upon the lee
But there’s a lofty ship to wind’ard an’ she’s sailin’ fast an’ free”
“O hail her! O hail her!’ our gallant cap’n cried,
Are you a man-o’-war or a privateer?” cried he.
“Oh, no I’m not a man-o’-war, nor privateer,” cried he,
“But I’m a salt sea pirate, all a-lookin’ for me fee!”
“For broadside, for broadside, a long time we lay,
Till at last the Prince o’ Luther shot the plrate’s mast away
“O quartcr! O quarter!’ thosc pirates they did cry,
But the quarter that we gave ’em, was to sink ’em in the sea.
ARGH!
182~ Aye, I’m sure ye’re pleased that I’m a-singing ’em, for it means thet ye didn’ have ter write ’em all out yerself! Yarrr! I’d give ye a blas o’ more o’ ’em, but seein’ as I’m just ready ter sling me hammock and roll inter it, I’m a-thinkin’ now ain’t th’ best time ter be doin’ it.
Oh, it’s no longer TLAPD………ah well, live with it!
183~
Ans there was a sad sight, that grieved my heart full sore,
blow high, blow low, and so sailed we!
To see them pirates drowning
As they tried to swim ashore
Sailin’ down the coast of High Barbaree!
Just heard this on the radio today:.
Growin’ up, you don’t see the writing on the wall
Passin’ by, movin’ straight ahead, you knew it all
But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
You’ll find you’re all alone, everything has changed
Play the game, you know you can’t quit until it’s won
Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
You know in some way you’re a lot like me
You’re just a prisoner and you’re tryin’ to break free
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin’ sky
I’ll be where the eagle’s flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future’s lyin’, St. Elmo’s Fire
Burning up, don’t know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)
Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
I can make it, I know I can
You broke the boy in me, but you won’t break the man
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin’ sky
I’ll be where the eagle’s flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future’s lyin’, St. Elmo’s Fire
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo’s Fire burnin’ in me, burnin’ in me
Just once in his life a man has his time
and my time is now, I’m coming alive
I can hear the music playin’, I can see the banners fly
Feel like you’re back again, and hope ridin’ high
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future’s lyin’, St. Elmo’s Fire
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin’ sky
I’ll be where the eagle’s flying higher and higher
Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future’s lyin’, St. Elmo’s Fire
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo’s Fire burnin’ in me
Burnin’, burnin’ in me, I can feel it burnin’
Oooh, burnin’ inside of me… (to fade)
I have this song stuck in my head. Again, this is how I hear it.
“Fool on the Hill” by the Beatles
Day after day
Alone on the hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he’s just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning ’round
Well on his way
His head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices
Talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him
Or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning ’round
And nobody seems to like him
They can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning ’round
I like the harmonica in it.
I’m listening to this song too much.
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you’re doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can’t get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own –
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord – somebody – somebody
Can anybody find me – somebody to love?
(He works hard)
Everyday – I try and I try and I try –
But everybody wants to put me down
They say they say I’m goin’ crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe in
Yeah – yeah yeah yeah
Oh Lord
Somebody – somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I’m ok, I’m alright
Ain’t gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I’m gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
SFTDP, but I seriously but this here-
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the masochism tango.
Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say its me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the masochism tango.
At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand. Eugh…
It’s here that I must be.
My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
Thats why I’m in such exquisite agony.
My soul is on fire,
Its aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire
When we tango.
You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Evry time I hear drums.
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the masochism tango.
Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say well never part.
I know too well
I’m underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, its my heart.
Oh, ‘scuse me!
Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that youre mine,
As we dance to the masochism tango.
For a great animation on YouTube, type in Masochism Tango and click on the one by domthefreedom. It has a red haired guy on it.
“Silver Dagger”
As sung by Joan Baez (I don’t know if she wrote it)
Don’t sing love songs, you’ll wake my mother
She’s lying here right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says that I can’t be your bride
All men are false, says my mother
They tell you wicked, loving lies
And the next evening, they’ll court another
And leave you alone, to weep and sigh
My father is a handsome devil
He has a chain five miles long
And on each link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid he’s loved and wronged
So go now, and court another
And hope that she will be your wife
I’ve been warned, and I’ve decided
To sleep alone all of my life
I typed that from memory, so if it’s wrong, that’s why.
Please do not laugh. I feel like posting this just because I feel like it. This is the first and second verse of the song I wrote with four other people for my music class. And the chorus. It had to be about “world problems” and follow a rhyming scheme and a lot of other stuff.
On second thought, go ahead and laugh. I laugh at it myself. Feel free to comment, even if you hate it.
Verse 1:
Napolian, Hitler, Sadam Hussain. Choices and power turned
them all insane.
Just because you’re a leader is not enough, listen to people which is very tough.
These leader’s minds riding a crazy train, slaughtering people, killing just for gain.
They’ve been hurt, Germany, Iraq, France. Is it enoughgive a protective stance?
Chorus:
Here they are, and there they lay. Will they continue present day?
Bloodied souls, throughout the land, carlessly scattered seeds of grief
Planted in the hearts of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, never to be released.
Wars are reality, dreams are gone, let’s reclaim our pride without the thunder of bombs.
Verse 2:
Napolian started a war to kill, thinkin’ ’bout lives lost can give you a chill.
That Hitler had destany to fufill, killing was fun, he had such a thrill.
Sadam should be sued for his doing bad, torturing people, Mom and good old Dad
Sum it up! You see theese people were sad, bored and depressed and all together mad.
There you go!!! Our incredible song.
My favorite part is the end of the chourus….
I just TRIED to post a Muse Schism version of “American Pie”, but something funny happened with my computer.
A parody of “Barbie Girl” that me, my sisters, and our neighbor wrote.
I’m a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie world,
My life in plastic, totally drastic,
You can brush my hair, if my head is there,
Decapitation, what a sensation!
Tie me to a tree, throw me in the sea,
Feed me to a crocodile, I’ll still wear a smile,
‘Cause this is my best dress, don’t worry ’bout the rest,
As long as I look pretty, I’ll still be giddy!
That’s all we have so far.
I was reading through this thread, and YAY two Wicked songs!
<3
I saw Wicked on Broadway this summer. Best musical I’ve ever seen. I’m in love with the soundtrack.
I’m limited
Just look at me – I’m limited
And just look at you
You can do all I couldn’t do, Glinda
So now it’s up to you
For both of us – now it’s up to you…
I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
But I know I’m who I am today
Because I knew you…
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You’ll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend…
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I’ve done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There’s blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood
Who can say if I’ve been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better
And because I knew you…
Because I knew you…
Because I knew you…
I have been changed for good…
…I cry every time I hear this song.
Random bits of songs I like.
I’m waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but it’s feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it’s gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I,
started staring at the passengers waving goodbye
can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
oh well I guess we’re gonna find out
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
oh well, I guess, we’re gonna pretend,
let’s see how far we’ve come
let’s see how far we’ve come
She never slows down.
She doesn’t know why but she knows that when she’s all alone, feels like it’s all coming down
She won’t turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won’t drown
And one day, what’s lost can be found
You stand in the rain
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The songs are: How Far We’ve Come by Matchbox 20, Stand In The Rain by Superchick, and Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield.
Random factoid: I’m making a list of warrior cat theme songs, and the first two are for Bluestar and Cinderpelt (favorite character!), respectively.
The Devil Went Down to Georgia (Charlie Daniels)
The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal,
he was in a bind cause he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal.
When he came upon a young man sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot the devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said “Boy lemme tell you what: I bet you didn’t know it but I’m a fiddle payer too, and if you’d care to make a dare I’ll make a bet with you.
Now you play a pretty good fiddle boy, but give the devil his due, I bet a fiddle of gold, against your soul cause I think I’m better than you.” The boy said “My names Johnny, and it might be a sin, but I’ll take your bet your gonna regret cause I’m the best theres ever been.”
Johnny you resin up your bow and play your fiddle hard. Cause hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold, and if you lost the devil gets your souuul!
The devil opened up his case and said “I’ll start this show.”
And fire flew from his fingertips as he resined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across the strings and it made an evil hiss,
And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this: …………………………………………….
When the devil finished Johnny said “Well you’re pretty good old son, but siddown in that chair right there lemme show you how its done.”
Fire on the mountain, run boys, run,
The devils in the house of the rising sun.
Chicken in the bread pan picken’ out dough,
“Granny does you dog bite?” “No, child, no”
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat. He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet. Johnny said “Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again, but I’ve told you once you son of a gun, I’m the best there’s ever been.
And he played fire on the mountain run boys run,
the devil’s in the house of the rising sun,
Chicken in the bread pan picken’ out dough
“Granny does your dog bite?”
“No, child, no.”
The Mean Little Kitty Song!!
.
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 a 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 could give this cat a toy, but he’d rather have the wrapper
and I will always give him water, but he still drinks from the crapper
You could lock him in a closet and he just won’t care
kitty chews on my shoes and he licks my hair
always scratching on my favorite chair and jumping on the couch
playing in the window sills and tearing through the house
He’s so full of energy and easily amused
kitty will attack anything that moves
Causing trouble, starting battles just so he could be a little part of
he’s a meanest little kitty so we named him sparta
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna 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 that 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 gonna 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’ve got my safety gear on and I’m not scared
I think I hear a kitty cat under the bed
I know your making noises just to mess with my head
You can stalk me all you want, but I’m not your pray
cause you always seem to find me first, but not today
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
Come on out, I’m gonna get you now
I’ve got ’em cornered
and now he’s mine
He’s not gonna get away this time
I’ll snatch him up fast before he can blink and then…
Aw man! He’s asleep in the sink
What is with this cat? I’m confused
He’s got a bed, but it’s never been used
In every waking moment, kitty’s out for the fight
then poof! next minute kitty’s out like a light
How could I let this creature live inside of my home
I gotta 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 kinda 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 wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
little bitty kitty wanna bite bite bite
Hey little sparta what is with all the fight
showing love, that’s all this kitty does
197–a period would have been nice, somewhere near the beginning, instead of halfway through…..
Oops.
GAPAs, could you add a period somewhere? Thanks. It makes for a mean comment on the RCB.
Sparta sounds like a warrior cat…
200- You’re right. Why didn’t I think of that brilliant idea? *kudos to you*
197 – That song rocks.

I’d much rather be

I loves that song.
This is a song that I made up, sung to the tune of Weasel Stomping Day by Weird Al Yankovic.
Jackal Sniping Day by Zack/Eragon
Put your Spartan helmet on, blast the Covenants off your lawn.
Its lots of fun so shoot those FLOOD and Jaaaackles!
Hip hip hooray its Jackal sniping daaaaaay!
Grab that rifle and attach the scope, shoot the monsters and
bring
Some hope-into the hearts of every Spartan!!
*the end. please tell me if you have any ideas to make the song longer. MUST be somewhat ‘HALO’ based. thx*
In the year 2525,
If man is still alive,
If woman can survive,
They may find,
In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth,
Tell no lies.
Everything you think you can say,
Is in the pill
You took today.
In the year 4545,
Ain’t gonna need your teeth,
Won’t need your eyes,
You won’t find anything to chew,
Nobody’s gonna look at you.
In the year 5555,
Your arms will be hanging limp at your side,
Your legs got nothin to do,
Some machine doin’ that for you.
In the year 6565,
Ain’t gonna need a husband,
Won’t need no wife,
You pick your son,
pick your daughter too,
From the bottom of a long glass tube.
In the year 7510,
You God’s a comin’,
gotta make it five ten
Maybe He will look around himself and say,
“Guess it’s time for the Judgement Day.”
In the year 8510,
God is gonna shake His mighty head,
He’ll either say “I’ll leave where man has been,”
Or tear it down, and start again.
In the year 9595,
I’m gonna wonder if man is gonna be alive,
He’s taken everything this old earth can give,
and he ain’t put back nothin
Now it’s been ten thousand years,
man has cried a billion tears,
For what he never knew,
Now man’s reign is through,
And through eternal night,
The twinkling of starlight,
So very far away,
Maybe it’s only yesterday…
In the year 2525,
If man is still alive,
If woman can survive,
They may find,
*fades*
This is a 60’s song!
In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village, the lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the quiet village, the lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don’t fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight
Hush my darling, don’t fear my darling, the lion sleeps tonight
I think in the original song, there were more sound effects than lyrics.
The legend lives on from the chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early.
The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ships bell rang
Could it be the north wind they’d been feeling?
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
Twas the witch of November come stealin.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashing.
When afternoon came it was freezin rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.
When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck saying.
Fellas, its too rough to feed ya.
At seven p.m. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, its been good t’know ya
The captain wired in he had water comin in
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they’d have made whitefish bay
If they’d put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.
Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young mans dreams;
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below lake Ontario
Takes in what lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the gales of November remembered.
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the maritime sailors cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!
This is a really heartfelt song by Gordon Lightfoot. It is called
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. [Your link didn’t work, but it’s easy enough to search the song on YouTube. –Admin.]

HEY! EARTH TO PEOPLE!
Rainbow Connection, sung by Kermit the Frog.
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side.
Rainbows are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
But I know they’re wrong,
wait and see,
Someday we’ll find it-
The rainbow connection-
The lovers,
The dreamers,
and me.
Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star.
Somebody
Thought of that
And someone
Believed it
Look what’s it’s done so far.
What’s so amazing that keeps us stargazing
Is what we think we might see.
Someday we’ll find it-
The rainbow connection-
The lovers,
The dreamers,
And me.
All of us under this spell,
We know that it’s probably
Magic…
Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I’ve heard them calling my name.
Is this the sleep sound
That calls the young sailor?
The voice might be one and the same.
I’ve heard it too many times to ignore it,
It’s something that I’m supposed to be.
Someday we’ll find it-
The rainbow connection-
The lovers,
The dreamers,
And me.
La da da
Dee da dee doo
Da da da da da dee da dooooo.
That’s my theme song.
Most depressing/awesome song:
In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no Alibi
‘Cause I’ve Drawn Regret
From the truth
Of a Thousand Lies
[Pre-Chorus:]
So let Mercy Come
And Wash Away
What I’ve Done
[Chorus:]
I’ll face myself
To Cross out what I’ve Become
Erase Myself
And let Go of What I’ve done
Put to rest
What you Thought of Me
While I clean this Slate
With the Hands of Uncertainty
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
For What I’ve Done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m Forgiving What I’ve Done!!!
[Chorus]
What I’ve Done
Forgiving What I’ve Done
Okay, so this is a really beautiful song, and I really like it. If anyone hasn’t heard of it, I suggest you look for it on YouTube.
River by Joni Mitchell
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don’t snow here
It stays pretty green
I’m going to make a lot of money
Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad
Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
Oh I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh I wish I had a river
I made my baby say goodbye
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I learned this song in elementary school, and it has some of my favorite Christmastime lyrics.
Someday at Christmas men won’t be boys
Playing with bombs like kids play with toys
One warm December our hearts will see
A world where men are free
Someday at Christmas there’ll be no wars
When we have learned what Christmas is for
When we have found what life’s really worth
There’ll be peace on earth
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas we’ll see a Man
No hungry children, no empty hand
One happy morning people will share
Our world where people care
Someday at Christmas there’ll be no tears
All men are equal and no men have fears
One shinning moment my heart ran away
From our world today
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmas man will not fail
Take hope because your love will prevail
Someday a new world that we can start
With hope in every heart
Someday all our dreams will come to be
Someday in a world where men are free
Maybe not in time for you and me
But someday at Christmastime
Someday at Christmastime
They see me mowin’
My front lawn
I know they’re all thinking
I’m so White N’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white n’ nerdy
Look at me I’m white n’ nerdy!
I wanna roll with-
The gangsters
But so far they all think
I’m too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Really, really white n’ nerdy
First in my class here at M.I.T.
Got skills, I’m a Champion of DND
MC Escher that’s my favorite MC
Keep your 40
I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin to the contrary
You’ll find they’re quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawkings in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
I got people begging for my top 8 spaces
Yo I know Pi to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces
I order all of my sandwiches with mayonnaise
I’m a whiz at minesweeper I can play for days
Once you see my sweet moves you’re gonna stay amazed,
my fingers movin’ so fast I’ll set the place ablaze
There’s no killer app I haven’t run
At Pascal, well, I’m number 1
Do vector calculus just for fun
I ain’t got a gat but I gotta soldering gun
Happy days is my favourite theme song
I can sure kick your butt in a game of ping pong
I’ll ace any trivia quiz you bring on
I’m fluent in Java Script as well as Klingon
Here’s the part I sing on
They see me roll on, my Segway!
I know in my heart they think I’m
white n’ nerdy!
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Can’t you see I’m white n’ nerdy
Look at me I’m white n’ nerdy
I’d like to roll with-
The gangsters
Although it’s apparent I’m too
White n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
I’m just too white n’ nerdy
How’d I get so white n’ nerdy?
I’ve been browsing, inspectin’
X-men comics you know I collect ’em
The pens in my pocket
I must protect ’em
my ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shopping online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you ROTFLOL
I got a business doing websites
When my friends need some code who do they call?
I do HTML for them all
Even made a homepage for my dog!
Yo! Got myself a fanny pack
they were having a sale down at the GAP
Spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap
POP POP! Hope no one sees me gettin’ freaky!
I’m nerdy in the extreme and whiter than sour creme
I was in AV club and Glee club and even the chess team!
Only question I ever thought was hard
Was do I like Kirk or do I like Picard?
I spend every weekend
at the renaissance fair
I got my name on my under wear!
They see me strollin’
They laughin’
And rollin’ their eyes ’cause
I’m so white n’ nerdy
Just because I’m white n’ nerdy
Just because I’m white n’ nerdy
All because I’m white n’ nerdy
Holy cow I’m white n’ nerdy
I wanna bowl with-
the gangsters
but oh well it’s obvious I’m
white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Think I’m just too white n’ nerdy
I’m just too white n’ nerdy
Look at me I’m white n’ nerdy!
SFTDP
Don’t wanna be a Canadian idiot
Don’t wanna be some beer swillin’ hockey nut
And do I look like some frostbitten hose-head?
I never learned my alphabet from A to Zed
They all live on donuts and moose meat
And they leave the house without packin’ heat
Never even bring their guns to the mall
And you know what else is too funny?
Their stupid Monopoly money
Can’t take ’em seriously at all
Well maple syrup and snow’s what they export
They treat curling just like it’s a real sport
They think their silly accent is so cute
Can’t understand a thing they’re talkin’ aboot
Sure they got their national health care
Cheaper meds, low crime rates and clean air
Then again well they got Celine Dion
Eat their weight in Kraft macaroni
And dream of drivin’ a Zamboni
All over Saskatchewan
Don’t wanna be a Canadian idiot
Won’t figure out their temperature in Celsius
See the map, they’re hoverin’ right over us
Tell you the truth, it makes me kinda nervous
Always hear the same kind of story
Break their nose and they’ll just say “sorry”
Tell me what kind of freaks are that polite?
It’s gotta mean they’re all up to somethin’
So quick, before they see it comin’
Time for a pre-emptive strike!
Patrick Street
You sailors all come lend and ear and listen to me song
Tis of a trick was played on Jack, I won’t detain you long
He came home from sea the other day, a girl he chanced to meet
And she asked him would he come with her to dance in Patrick St.
“Well” said Jack “My pretty fair maid, I cannot dance too well
Besides I’m bound for Newry town, my parents there do dwell
I’ve been at sea these past few days, and saved up 50 pounds
And my parents are expecting me this night in Newry town.”
“Well sir if you cannot dance too well then you shall have a treat,
You can have a glass of brandy and something nice to eat,
You can be gone for Newry town before the day is done
It’s been three years sir, don’t you think that you could have some fun?”
Well they had not been long at the hall when whiskey was brought in
When everyone had had their fill the dancing did begin,
The kicked their heels and danced around all to a merry tune
While the other couples did their doubles shuffle ’round the room.
When the dancing it was over they did for bed repair,
And all they did was go to sleep, the truth I do declare.
When Jack awoke he was alone, stark naked lying in bed,
And his darling with his 50 pounds and all his clothes had fled.
In pacing all around the room, well nothing could he spy,
But a women’s skirt and jumper at the foot of the bed did lie,
he wrung his hands, he tore his hair, crying “Oh what shall I do?”
“Oh fare thee well sweet Newry town, I’m sure I’ll never see you.”
When night time it had come again, and daytime was away
He put on the skirt and jumper and headed for the quay,
And when he went to board the boat, the sailors all did say
“Oh Jack has grown much prettier since last he went away!”
“And is this the new spring fashion you went to but I’m sure,
Where’s the shop that sells them, do you think they might have more?”
The captain said “Now Jack I thought you were for Newry town,
Well you might have bought a better suit that that for 50 pounds!”
“Yes I might have bought a better suit, if I had had the chance.
But I met a girl in High St. and she asked me to a dance,
I danced my own distraction and I done it so complete
That I vow I’ll never go back again to dance in Patrick Street!’
MASTERS OF WAR
Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothing
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly
Like judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
While the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As the young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud.
You throw the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand over your grave
‘Til I’m sure that you’re dead.
NATIONAL BROTHERHOOD WEEK
Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks.
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.
But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week,
Cassius clay and mrs. wallace are dancing cheek to cheek.
It’s fun to eulogize
The people you despise,
As long as you don’t let ’em in your school.
Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It’s american as apple pie!
But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week,
new yorkers love the puerto ricans ’cause it’s very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can’t stand.
You can tolerate him if you try.
Oh, the protestants hate the catholics,
And the catholics hate the protestants,
And the hindus hate the muslims,
And everybody hates the jews.
But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week,
It’s national everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It’s only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn’t last all year!
WERNHER VON BRAUN
Gather round while I sing you of wernher von braun
A man whose allegiance is ruled by expedience
Call him a nazi, he won’t even frown
“Ha, nazi schmazi,” says wernher von braun
Don’t say that he’s hypocritical
Say rather that he’s apolitical
“Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down
That’s not my department,” says Wernher von Braun
Some have harsh words for this man of renown
But some think our attitude should be one of gratitude
Like the widows and cripples in old london town
Who owe their large pensions to wernher von braun.
You too may be a big hero
Once you’ve learned to count backwards to zero
“In german oder english I know how to count down
Und I’m learning chinese,” says wernher von braun.
WHO’S NEXT
First we got the bomb, and that was good
‘Cause we love peace and motherhood
Then russia got the bomb, but that’s okay
‘Cause the balance of power’s maintained that way
Who’s next?
France got the bomb, but don’t you grieve
‘Cause they’re on our side, I believe
China got the bomb, but have no fears
They can’t wipe us out for at least five years
Who’s next?
Then indonesia claimed that they
Were gonna get one any day
South africa wants two, that’s right
One for the black and one for the white
Who’s next?
Egypt’s gonna get one too
Just to use on you know who
So israel’s getting tense
Wants one in self defense
“The Lord’s our shepherd,” says the psalm
But just in case, we better get a bomb
Who’s next?
Luxembourg is next to go
And, who knows, maybe monaco
We’ll try to stay serene and calm
When alabama gets the bomb
Who’s next, who’s next, who’s next, who’s next?
I love regina spektors lyrics…here are some parts of favorite songs..
On the Radio
This is how it works
You’re young until you’re not
You love until you don’t
You try until you can’t
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
Fidelity
I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
And suppose I never met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall
All my friends say that of course its 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 sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart
Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
I just love them!!!! ♥
Song for the Lonely, by Cher:.
When you’re standing on the edge of nowhere
There’s only one way up
So your heart’s got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When hero’s fall, in love or war
They live forever
[Chorus:]
This is a song – for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I’ll be by your side
And this is a song – for the lonely
When your dreams won’t come true
Can you hear this prayer?
‘Cause someone’s there for you
Well, love don’t need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleeding
I’ve seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believing
[Chorus]
So let it find you
Wherever you may go
I’m right beside you
You don’t have to look no more
You don’t have to look no more, oh no
[Chorus]
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
This is a song
A song for the lonely
And that’s not you only
Through the darkest night
You’re gonna see the light
Love don’t need a reason
Just to leave you bleeding
Can you hear this prayer?
Someone’s there
This is a song – for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I’ll be by your side
And this is a song
For the lonely
This one gives me chills sometimes.
Hungry Like the Wolf (Duran Duran)
Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
Woman you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch with the ground
Im on the hunt Im after you
Smell like I sound, Im lost in a crowd
And Im hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
Im on the hunt Im after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And Im hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
Ill be upon you by the moonlight side
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
High blood drumming ony our skin its so tight
You feel my heart, Im just a moment behind
Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do
In touch with the ground
Im on the hunt Im after you
Scent and a sound, Im lost and Im found
And Im hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine Im after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And Im hungry like the wolf
–
(hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf)
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
Im on the hunt Im after you
I smell like I sound, Im lost and Im found
And Im hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
Im on the hunt Im after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And Im hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
Im on the hunt Im after you
Scent and a sound, Im lost and Im found
And Im hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, its discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine Im after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And Im hungry like the wolf…
AND
My Own Worst Enemy, Lit
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk
I didn’t mean to call you that
I cant remember what was said or what you threw at me
Please tell me
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I’m sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
And you’re gone
Its no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy
Cuz every now and then I kick the living out of me
The smoke alarm is going off and theres a cigarette
Still burning
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I’m sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
And you’re gone
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard
And I’m sleeping with my clothes on
I came in through the window last night
Its no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy
Cuz every now and then I kick the living out of me
Can we forget about the the things I said when I was drunk
I didn’t mean to call you that
Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall by Paul Simon
Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don’t know what is real,
I can’t touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.
So I’ll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I’m not sure at all its my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.
So I’ll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
It’s no matter if you’re born
To play the king or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn ‘tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.
So I’ll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
(224) *sings along* Hey, I just stopped for gas and coffee on my long drive home and almost the first thing I see on the blog is one of my favorite songs. That certainly brightened a somewhat melancholy evening for me. Thank you! It’s like meeting a friend on the road. (Actually, a whole blog of friends….)
But I’m sorry you’re having a sad day. It’s really tough to lose people you love. Music is definitely a good place to put those feelings.
225~ I love that song too. *sings*
I hope you’re having a good trip home, it was wonderful to see you a few times while you were in the area. Sorry to hear it’s been a melancholy evening for you too. *hugs and choklit*
I really hope I didn’t miss you’re brief stop by, the compy was being utterly EVILE.
(226) Oh, only ever so slightly melancholy to be traveling away from so many good friends. Nothing that a Paul Simon tune, a bit of MuseBlogging, and happy reminiscences couldn’t turn around. Thanks!
227~ Glad to be of service.
Bon Jovi: You Give Love A Bad Name
An angels smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven, then put me through hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passions a prison, you cant break free
You’re a loaded gun
There’s nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame!
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boys dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
You’re a loaded gun
Theres nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame!
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name…
Woooooahh! *guitar fade*
Shot through the heart
And you’re to blame!
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
You give love a bad name… (repeat out)
195- What are they???
Oh God! Our favorite thread is deaaaad!
This could be long.
American Pie
A long, long time ago…
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.
But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, this’ll be the day that I die.
This’ll be the day that I die.
Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock ‘n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Well, I know that you’re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck,
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.
I started singin’,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, this’ll be the day that I die.
This’ll be the day that I die.
Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.
We were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, this’ll be the day that I die.
This’ll be the day that I die.
Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, this’ll be the day that I die.
This’ll be the day that I die.
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, this’ll be the day that I die.
This’ll be the day that I die.
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.
And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
And they were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, this’ll be the day that I die.
This’ll be the day that I die.
They were singing,
Bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, this’ll be the day that I die.
Lives
Modest Mouse
Everyone’s afraid of their own life
If you could be anything you want
I bet you’d be disappointed, am I right?
No one really knows the ones they love
If you knew everything they thought
I bet that you’d wish that they’d just shut up
Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math
When you were alive
No ones gonna play the harp when you die
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime
I’d have half the time, do you mind?
Everyone’s afraid of their own lives
If you could be anything you want
I bet you’d be disappointed, am I right?
Am I right, am I right, am I right?
And it’s our lives
It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember
We’re alive… for the first time
It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember
Were alive… for the last time
It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember
To live… before you die
It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember
That our lives… are such a short time
It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember
When it takes such a long time
It’s hard to remember,
It’s hard to remember…
My mom’s God is a woman and my mom she is a witch
I like this
My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself
Why fight this
Everyone’s afraid of their own lives
If you could be anything you want
I bet you’d be disappointed, am I right?
—
Several parts of these lyrics really struck me in that special way MM songs do. Mostly the 4th verse and “My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself/Why fight this.” I love Isaac Brock…
U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”:.
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
When all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well, yes I’m still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for
I’ll follow You Into The Dark, by Death Cab For Cutie. Weird band name, but good song.
Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I’ll be close behind
I’ll follow you into the dark
No blinding light
Or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the “No”s
On their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school
As vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised
By a lady in black
And I held my tongue
As she told me, “Son,
Fear is the heart of love”
So I never went back
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the “No”s
On their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
You and me
Have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it’s nothing to cry about
Because we’ll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
And illuminate the “No”s
On their vacancy signs
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
Nice song.
Human, by The Killers.
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes, clear your heart, cut the cord
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I’m on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?
Pay my respects to grace and virtue
Send my condolences to good
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
You taught me everything I know
Wave good bye, wish me well
You gotta let me go
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I’m on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?
Will your system be all right
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we’re receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I’m on my knees looking for the answer
You’ve gotta let me know
Are we human or are we dancers?
My sign is vital, my hands are cold
And I’m on my knees looking for the answer
Are we human or are we dancers?
Are we human or are we dancers?
Are we human or are we dancers?
The worst song ever:
I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep because my bed�s on fire
Don’t touch me I�m a real live wire.

LIVING ON A PRAYER- BON JOVI
Once upon a time not so long ago:
tommy used to work on the docks
union’s been on strike
He’s down on his luck – It’s tough
so tough.
Gina works the diner all day
working for her man
She brings home her pay for love
for love.
She says: We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got
’cause it doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not.
We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love –
We’ll give it a shot.
We’re half way there – livin’ on a prayer
Take my hand and we’ll make it
i swear – livin’ on a prayer.
Tommy got his six string in hock.
Now he’s holding in what he used to make it talk –
so tough
it’s tough.
Gina dreams of running away
when she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby
it’s okay
someday.
We’ve got to hold on to what we’ve got . . .
We’re half way there – livin’ on a prayer
. . .
We’ve got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it’s all that you’ve got.
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
. . .
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
. . .
We’re half way there – Livin’ on a prayer
. . .
I love ABBA.
Money, Money, Money (Rich Man’s World)
I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain’t it sad
And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
That’s too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ball…
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
A man like that is hard to find but I can’t get him off my mind
Ain’t it sad
And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn’t fancy me
That’s too bad
So I must leave, I’ll have to go
To Las Vegas or Monaco
And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same…
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It’s a rich man’s world
It’s a rich man’s world
Thank You For The Music
I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance…!
So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
ABBA! w00t! I’m listening to Gimme! gimme! Gimme! right now!
99 Red Balloons, by Nena:.
You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got
Set them free at the break of dawn
‘Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, “Something’s out there”
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by.
99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it’s red alert
There’s something here from somewhere red
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by.
99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.
99 Knights of the air
ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone’s a Superhero
Everyone’s a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by.
99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It’s all over and I’m standin’ pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here…
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.
This is usually sung on the last night of camp. (This is the camp of the whole Orange County, GAPAs! No need to snip!)
Where the cactus meets the mountains
And the mountains touch the sky.
And the sky’s the bluest blue that it can be.
Where a million stars like diamonds smile
On a campfire’s burning glow.
And the moon so bright
It’ just as light
To guide you, you can see…
Well the road’s a little dusty
And the trees a trifle few
But the beauty’s there
In the fesh clear air
and the friendships thatcha knew.
The freedom of the forest
let’s your soul breathe deep and long.
And a part of me will always be here
Singin Scherman’s song.
Where the pine trees smell like butterscotch
And the thunder greets the rain,
You can feel the joy of living every day.
Where the peacefulness and solitude
And the memories thatcha share,
Give you strength to face the time when it’s goodbye
You’ll have to say…
Well the road’s a little dusty
And the trees a trifle few
But the beauty’s there
In the fesh clear air
and the friendships thatcha knew.
The freedom of the forset
let’s your soul breathe deep and long.
And a part of me will always be here
Singin Scherman’s song.
Singin Scherman’s sooong…
.
Little pebble upon the sand
Now you’re lying here in my hand
How many years have you been here?
Little human upon the sand
From where I’m lying here in your hand
You to me are but a passing breeze.
The sun will always shine where you stand
Depending in which land you may find yourself.
Now you have my blessing go your way.
Happiness runs in a circular motion,
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea
Everybody is a part of everything anyway
You can have everything if you let yourself be.
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs, happiness runs
Happiness runs happiness runs
Why-o? Because.
Why-o? Because.
Why-o? Because.
Why-o? Because.
Why-o? Because.
Why-o? Because.
Happiness runs in a circular motion
Thought is like a little boat upon the sea…

Etc. It’s supposed to be a round. I’m never sure where it’s supposed to end.
Phantom of the Opera: Think of Me
.
Think of me
think of me fondly,
when we’ve said goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while –
please promise me
you’ll try.
When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free –
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea –
but if
you can still
remember
stop and think
of me . . .
Think of all the things
we’ve shared and seen –
don’t think about the things
which might have been . . .
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.
Recall those days
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we’ll never do –
there will
never be
a day, when
I won’t think
of you…
245: Those aren’t the lyrics I know. I’m singing that for the talent show next Friday. The lyrics from my score:
Think of me,
think of me fondly when we’ve said goodbye.
Remember me,
ev’ry so often, promise me you’ll try.
On that day, that not so distant day, when you are far away and free,
if you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me.
And though it’s clear, though it was always clear that this was never meant to be,
if you happen to remember, stop and think of me.
Think of August when the trees were green;
don’t think about the way things might have been.
Think of me,
think of me waking silent and resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard to put you from my mind.
Think of me, please say you’ll think of me, whatever else you choose to do.
There will never be a day when
I won’t think of you.
Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade, they have their season so do we…
but please promise me that sometimes you will think…
[cadenza]
of me!
246- Oh. Well, that’s just how they were in the movie, I’m not sure…
The Challenge by Karen Linsey:.
They smiled and waved as they passed the camera,
About to ride a dream as a jaded world looked on.
We’d seen it all before — space had lost its glamour, then,
In a blast of smoke, their lives were gone.
They tried to meet the challenge of reaching for the stars,
To touch their light so clear but yet so far.
They tried to leave the cradle — to view the great unknown,
To proudly stride the cosmos on their own.
It struck a blow to our complacent nature.
Some said this vain attempt would surely be our last.
We’d finally come to comprehend the danger
Of striving for new worlds beyond our grasp.
But we won’t let fear diminish the sacrifice they made.
We’ll carry on their dreams in memory of their names.
Because we can meet the challenge of reaching for the stars
To touch their light, so clear but yet so far.
It’s time to leave the cradle, to view the great unknown,
To proudly stride the cosmos on our own.
Yes, it is sad, I know.
Tom Lehrer’s Element Song. freakin’ awesome. We watched it yesterday in Chemistry. Twas awesome.
“There’s antimony, arsenic, aluminum, selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel, neodymium, neptunium, germanium,
And iron, americium, ruthenium, uranium,
Europium, zirconium, lutetium, vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold and protactinium and indium and gallium,
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.”
And on through Nobelium. Lawrencium and onwards were not yet discovered……
’tis an absolutely awesome song–I am trying to memorize it……
Anyway, go to youtube, search “Tom Lehrer”, got to the second page of results, last hit. WATCH!
‘I’m Going Slightly Mad’
by Queen.
When the outside temperature rises
And the meaning is oh so clear
One thousand and one yellow daffodils
Begin to dance in front of you – oh dear
Are they trying to tell you something?
You’re missing that one final screw
You’re simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven’t got a clue
I’m going slightly mad
I’m going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened
It finally happened – I’m slightly mad
Oh dear!
I’m one card short of a full deck
I’m not quite the shilling
One wave short of a shipwreck
I’m not my usual top billing
I’m coming down with a fever
I’m really out to sea
This kettle is boiling over
I think I’m a banana tree
Oh dear,
I’m going slightly mad
I’m going slightly mad
It finally happened, happened
It finally happened
It finally happened – I’m slightly mad
oh dear!
I’m knitting with only one needle
Unraveling fast its true
I’m driving only three wheels these days
But my dear how about you?
I’m going slightly mad
I’m going slightly mad
It finally happened
It finally happened, oh yes
It finally happened, I’m slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad!
And there you have it!
(From Memory!!!)
Well, if you wanted honesty that’s all you had to say!
I never wanted to let you down or had you go
It’s better off this way!
For all the dirty looks,
The photographs your boyfriend took
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I’m noooooot ooooookay!
I’m not okaaaaaay,
I’m not okaaaaaaaaaaay,
You wear me out!!!!!!
(Emo PMS song!)
Its all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems were wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
Id drive all night just to get back home
.
Chorus:
Im a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
Im wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Sometimes I sleep, sometimes its not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when youre all alone all you do is think
Chorus
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still Im standing tall
Ive seen a million faces an Ive rocked them all
Im a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
Im wanted dead or alive
Im a cowboy, I got the night on my side
Im wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
What’s this? What’s this?
There’s color everywhere
What’s this?
There’s white things in the air
What’s this?
I can’t believe my eyes
I must be dreaming
Wake up, Jack, this isn’t fair
What’s this?
What’s this? What’s this?
There’s something very wrong
What’s this?
There’s people singing songs
What’s this?
The streets are lined with
Little creatures laughing
Everybody seems so happy
Have I possibly gone daffy?
What is this?
What’s this?
There’s children throwing snowballs
Instead of throwing heads
They’re busy building toys
And absolutely no one’s dead
There’s frost on every window
Oh, I can’t believe my eyes
And in my bones I feel the warmth
That’s coming from inside
Oh, look
What’s this?
They’re hanging mistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unique, inspired
They’re gathering around to hear a story
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
What’s this?
What’s this?
In here they’ve got a little tree, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They’re covering it with tiny little things
They’ve got electric lights on strings
And there’s a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I’m wrong
This looks like fun
This looks like fun
Oh, could it be I got my wish?
What’s this?
Oh my, what now?
The children are asleep
But look, there’s nothing underneath
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Oh ensnare them, only little cozy things
Secure inside their dreamland
What’s this?
The monsters are all missing
And the nightmares can’t be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of screams, I swear
I can hear music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds
They’re eveywhere and all around
I’ve never felt so good before
This empty place inside of me is filling up
I simply cannot get enough
I want it, oh, I want it
Oh, I want it for my own
I’ve got to know
I’ve got to know
What is this place that I have found?
What is this?
My friends’ relationship song. Forever and Always by Bullet for My Valentine.
(Forever and always…)
That time is here again
Prepare to be apart
And it drives you crazy
Each time I go away
The distance gets longer
But it makes us stronger
Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
And pick up the pieces?
Forget about the s*** that we’ve been through
I wanna stay here forever and always
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always
These days are dead again
It’s empty from the start
And it drives me crazy
The hours drift away
It hurts to remember
This will soon be over
Should it all come crashing
Down around me
Would you be there
Should I stumble and fall
And pick up the pieces?
Forget about the s*** that we’ve been through
I wanna stay here forever and always
Standing here in front of all of you
I wanna stay here forever and always
525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes -how do you measure,
measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In
525,600 minutes – how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of
love.
525,600 minutes! 525,000 journeys to plan. 525,600 minutes – how can you measure
the life of a woman or man?
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried. In bridges he burned, or
the way that she died.
It’s time now to sing out, tho the story never ends let’s celebrate remember a year in the life of friends. Remember
the love! Remember the love! Remember
the love! Measure in love. Seasons of love! Seasons of love.
I daresay that this thread is dying. SO PEOPLE COME HERE AND POST/READ SONG LYRICS!!!!!!
I have “I am the Walrus” stuck in my head. It’s really starting to get on my nerves. My favorite part is when it says,
“corporationteeshirtsstupidbloodyTuesdaymanyou’vebeenanaughtyboyyou’veletyourfacegrowlong. . .” It’s said all in one breath. The other one says, “element’rypenguinssingingHareKrishnamanyoushould’veseenthemkickingEdgarAllenPoe.”
That song is wack!

THE ATHOL GATHERING
Wha will ride wi’ gallant murray , wha will ride for geordie’s sel’
He’s the flooer o’ glen isla and the darlin’ o’ dunkeld
See the white rose in his bonnet, see his banner o’er the tay
His guid sword he noo has drawn it and has flung his sheath away
Every faithfu’ murray follows, first of heroes, best of men
Every true and trusty stewart blithely leaves his native glen
Athol lads are lads of honour, westland rogues are rebels a’
When we come within their border we maun gar the campbell’s claw
Menzies he’s our friend and brother, gask and strowan are nae slack
Noble perth has ta’en the field and a’ the drummonds at his back
Let us ride wi’ gallant murray , let us fight for charlie’s crown
From the right we’ll never sinder til we bring the tyrants down
macIntosh the gallant sodger, wi’ the grahams and gordons gay
They hae ta’en tae the field of honour, spite of all their chiefs could say
Bend the musket point the rapier, shift the brog for lowland shoe
Scour the durk and face the danger, macIntosh is a’ tae do

(257) Piggy, I think I caught them. I’ve added a note to the top of the thread as well.
I can’t get this song out of my head: I’ll just post the lyrics and translation. Everybody cracks up when I sing it, because I was voted “nicest kid in class” for several years running, and always end up lending people stuff. Here is the chorus with a translation:
FALCO – EGOIST
Die ganze Welt dreht sich um mich
denn ich bin nur ein Egoist
der Mensch, der mir am nächsten ist
bin ich, ich bin ein Egoist
ENGLISH:
The whole world revolves around me,
’cause I’m just an egoist,
the person I hold dearest to me is myself,
`cause I’m just an egoist
This, b.t.w., is an excellent example of austrian humor. I’d translate the whole thing, but it’s mostly slang and homework is attacking…
. BLACKLEG MINER (a not-particularly-pleasant song about northumberlandian (?) scabs and coal strikes.)
It’s in the evenin’ after dark
the blackleg miner creeps to work
With his moleskin pants and his dirty shirt
there goes the blackleg miner!
He grabs his duds and down he goes
to hew the coal that lies below
There’s not a woman in this town-row
will look at the blackleg miner.
Oh, deleval is a terrible place
They rub wet clay in the blackleg’s face
Around the heaps they run a foot-race
to catch the blackleg miner.
Dinna gang near the seghill mine
Across the road they stretch a line
to catch the throat and break the spine
of the dirty blackleg miner.
They grabbed his duds,
his picks as well
and heaved them doon the pit o’ h***
Sayin’,”Doon ye go, and fare ye well, ye dirty blackleg miner!”
So join the union while ye may
don’t wait ’til your dien’ day
for that may not be far away
ye dirty blackleg miner!
(This song was originally sang by striking coal miners to threaten scabs, or “blacklegs.”)
Skadi’s Touch by Cassandra Syndrome
Shadows all begin to grow
Living water stops its flow
As all now tumble into sleep
Summer’s secret there to keep
Hail to Queen of ice and snow
Hail the Goddess of the cold
Now the dancer in the night
Shows herself in the moonlight
Ivory her hair and skin
Pale eyes drink the forest in
Hail to Queen of ice and snow
Hail the Goddess of the cold
Freeze us there in shining glass
As the Goddess dances past
Lightly dance from home to hall
Winter dances for us all
Hail to Queen of ice and snow
Hail the Goddess of the cold
Our Country by John Mellencamp.
Well I can stand beside
Ideals I think are right
And I can stand beside
The idea to stand and fight
I do believe
There’s a dream for everyone
This is our country
There’s room enough here
For science to live
And there’s room enough here
For religion to forgive
And try to understand
All the people of this land
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
That poverty could be
Just another ugly thing
And bigotry would be
Seen only as obscene
And the ones that run this land
Help the poor and common man
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
The dream is still alive
Some day it will come true
And this country it belongs
To folks like me and you
So let the voice of freedom
Sing out through this land
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
From the east coast
To the west coast
Down the Dixie Highway
Back home
This is our country
Hey, ho, to the bottle I go – Merry and Pippin.
Hey, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
But there still beeee
Many miles to go
Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain
and the stream that falls from hill to plain,
Better than rain or rippling brook-
Is a mug of beer inside this Took!
The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
A neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
Fools, said I, You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
I love the way Rush alludes to this in their song Spirit of the Radio when he sings at the end:
For the words of the profits
were written on the studio wall,
Concert hall
and echoes with the sounds of salesmen.
263~ I love the Sound of Silence. It’s beautiful the way it builds and then fades away again.
Deck the halls with poison ivy
falalalala,lalalala
‘Tis the season to be naughty
falalalala,lalalala
Crash the windows, pop the tires
falala,lalala,lalala
Set George Bush’s pants on fire
falalalala,lalalala
I like all the songs from LOTR especially the Rohirrim one.

I’m the knight of the wind.
Is that the most epic song in the world or what
Vienna waits for you: (Billy Joel)
Slow down, you crazy child
you’re so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you’re so smart, tell me
Why are you still so afraid?
Where’s the fire, what’s the hurry about?
You’d better cool it off before you burn it out
You’ve got so much to do and
Only so many hours in a day
But you know that when the truth is told..
That you can get what you want or you get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you’re doing fine
You can’t be everything you want to be
Before your time
Although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight
Tonight,…
Too bad but it’s the life you lead
you’re so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you’re wrong, you know
You can’t always see when you’re right. You’re right…
You’ve got your passion, you’ve got your pride
but don’t you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile
it’s all right, you can afford to lose a day or two
When will you realize, ..Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even get half through
Why don’t you realize; Vienna waits for you
When will you realize; Vienna waits for you?
Ironic: for me going to vienna = stress + studying. The song says the opposite…
All the small things, Blink 182.
All the, small things
True care, truth brings
I’ll take, one lift
Your ride, best trip
Always, I know
You’ll be at my show
Watching, waiting,
commiserating
Say it ain’t so, I will not go,
turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na…
Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs,
surprises let me know she cares
Say it ain’t so, I will not go,
turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na…
Say it ain’t so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Na, na·
Say it ain’t so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I’ll be your thrill, the night will go on, my little windmill
Say it ain’t so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I’ll be your thrill, the night will go on, the night will go on, my little windmill
Spanish Ladies
Farewell and adieu to you Spanish ladies,
Farewell and adieu, to you ladies of Spain,
For we’ve received orders to sail for old England,
We hope in a short time to see you again!
We’ll rant and we’ll roar, like true British sailors,
We’ll rant and we’ll roar all on the salt seas,
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England,
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues!
We hove our ship to with a wind from sou’west boys,
We hove our ship to, for to strike soundings clear,
It’s fourty-five fathoms with a white sandy bottom,
We squared our main yard and up channel did steer.
We’ll rant and we’ll roar, like true British sailors,
We’ll rant and we’ll roar all on the salt seas,
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England,
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues!
Now the first land we sighted it is called the Deadman,
Next Ram’s Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland and White,
We sailed on by Beachy, by Fairly and Dungeness,
And we hove our ship to by the south Foreland Light.
We’ll rant and we’ll roar, like true British sailors,
We’ll rant and we’ll roar all on the salt seas,
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England,
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues!
Then the signal was given for the grand fleet to anchor,
And all in the downs, that night for to lie.
Let go your shank-painter, likewise your cat-stopper,
Haul up your clew garnets, let tacks and sheets fly!
We’ll rant and we’ll roar, like true British sailors,
We’ll rant and we’ll roar all on the salt seas,
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England,
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues!
Then let every man drink off his full bumper,
And let every man toss of his full glass,
We’ll sing and be jolly and drown melancholy,
And here’s to the health of each true-hearted lass!
We’ll rant and we’ll roar, like true British sailors,
We’ll rant and we’ll roar all on the salt seas,
Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England,
From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues!
Concrete Angel by Martina Mcbride:
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she’s holding back
Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with the linen and lace, oh
The teacher wonders but she doesn’t ask
It’s hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can’t rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she’s loved concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear but they turn out the light
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it will be too late
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can’t rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she’s loved concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can’t rise above
But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place
Where she’s loved concrete angel
You Know my Name, by Chris Cornell.
If you take a life
Do you know what you’ll give?
Odds are you won’t like what it is.
When the storm arrives
Would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes I’ve deceived
I’ve seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can’t deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
If you come inside
Things will not be the same
When you return to my eyes
And if you think you’ve won
You never saw me change
The game that we have been playing
I’ve seen diamonds cut through harder men
Then you yourself but if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can’t deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Arm yourself because no one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can’t deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins

The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by the Arrogant Worms
[apologies to any Canadians]
Well I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine,
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But times went by and though I tried, the money wasn’t there
And bankers came and took my land and told me “fair is fair”
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always no
“Hire you now?” they’d always laugh, “we just let twenty go!” (Ha-haa!)
The government, they promised me a measly little sum
But I’ve got too much pride to end up just another bum.
Then I thought, who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
I’m gonna be a PIRATE on the river Saskatchewan!!!
Cause it’s a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin’ down the plains
Stealin’ wheat and barley and all the other grains
And It’s a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores
Well, you’d think the local farmers would know that I’m at
large,
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed their ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer!
A bridge outside of Moosejaw spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomachs are a’quiver
Cause they know that Captain Tractor’s hiding in the bay
I’ll jump the bridge and knock them cold and sail off with their hay!
And it’s a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin’ down the plains
Stealin’ wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it’s a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores
Well, Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat
He followed on the shoreline cause he didn’t own a boat
But the cutbacks were a’coming and the Mountie lost his job
And now he’s sailing with us, and we call him Salty Bob!
A swingin’ sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!!)
Sailing down to Saskatoon, the terror of the seas
If you wanna reach the co-op, boy, you gotta get by me!
(HA-HARR!!)
It’s a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin’ down the plains
Stealin’ wheat and barley and all the other grains
And It’s a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores
(*spoken* Arrrr! Ya salty dog!)
(*spoken* Arrrr! Ya salty gopher!)
(*spoken* Arr.. ya.. salty bale of hay!)
Well, the Pirate life’s appealing but you just don’t find it here,
I hear in north Alberta there’s a band of buccaneers
They roam the Athabaska from Smith to Fort McKay
And you’re gonna loose your stetson if you have to pass their
way!
Well, winter is a’comin’ and a chill is in the breeze
My Pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze
But I’ll be back in springtime but now I have to go
I hear there’s lots of plundering down in New Mexico!
And it’s a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin’ down the plains
Stealin’ wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it’s a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores
And it’s a heave-ho, hi-ho, comin’ down the plains
Stealin’ wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it’s a ho-hey, hi-hey farmers bar yer doors
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores
When ya see the Jolly Roger on Regina’s mighty shores…
(Ha-ha-harr, eh?)
Kilkelly
Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 60, my dear and loving son John
Your good friend the schoolmaster Pat McNamara’s so good
As to write these words down.
Your brothers have all gone to find work in England,
The house is so empty and sad
The crop of potatoes is sorely infected,
A third to a half of them bad.
And your sister Brigid and Patrick O’Donnell
Are going to be married in June.
Your mother says not to work on the railroad
And be sure to come on home soon.
Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 70, dear and loving son John
Hello to your Mrs. and to your four children,
May they grow healthy and strong.
Michael has got in a wee bit of trouble,
I suppose that he never will learn.
Because of the dampness there’s no turf to speak of
And now we have nothing to burn.
And Brigid is happy, you named a child for her
Although she’s got six of her own.
You say you found work, but you don’t say
What kind or when you will be coming home.
Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 80, dear Michael and John, my sons
I’m sorry to give you the very sad news
That your dear old mother has gone.
We buried her down at the church in Kilkelly,
Your brothers and Brigid were there.
You don’t have to worry, she died very quickly,
Remember her in your prayers.
And it’s so good to hear that Michael’s returning,
With money he’s sure to buy land
For the crop has been poor and the people
Are selling at any price that they can.
Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 90, my dear and loving son John
I suppose that I must be close on to eighty,
It’s thirty years since you’ve gone.
Because of all of the money you sent me,
I’m still living out on my own.
Michael has built himself a fine house
And Brigid’s daughters have grown.
Thank you for sending your family picture,
They’re lovely young women and men.
You say that you might even come for a visit,
What joy to see you again.
Kilkelly, Ireland, 18 and 92, my dear brother John
I’m sorry that I didn’t write sooner to tell you that father passed on.
He was living with Brigid, she says he was cheerful
And healthy right down to the end.
Ah, you should have seen him playing with
The grandchildren of Pat McNamara, your friend.
And we buried him alongside of mother,
Down at the Kilkelly churchyard.
He was a strong and a feisty old man,
Considering his life was so hard.
And it’s funny the way he kept talking about you,
He called for you in the end.
Oh, why don’t you think about coming to visit,
We’d all love to see you again.
Someone actually knows that song.
I am in shock.
Word of God Speak
I’m finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it’s okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say
[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You’re in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak
I’m finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice
[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]
I’m finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it’s okay
Indescribable
From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation’s revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Lit up with anticipation
We arrive at the launching site.
The sky is still dark, nearing dawn
On the Florida coastline
Circling choppers slash the night
With roving searchlight beams
This magic day when super-science
Mingles with the bright stuff of dreams
Floodlit in the hazy distance
The star of this unearthly show
Venting vapours, like the breath
Of a sleeping white dragon
Crackling speakers, voices tense
Resume the final count
All systems check, T minus nine
As the sun and the drama start to mount
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 life
The 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
Scorching blast of golden fire
As it slowly leaves the ground
Tears away with a mighty force
The air is shattered by the awesome sound
Like a pillar of cloud
The smoke lingers high in the air
In fascination
With the eyes of the world
We stare…
It’s even better if you can HEAR it.
Silly me, did I forget the title? It’s Countdown, by Rush.
Merry and Pippin’s songs, from FotR and RotK (movies)
Hey, Ho, to the Bottle I go.
Hey, Ho, to the Bottle I go,
To heal my heart and drown my woe,
Rain may fall, and wind may blow,
But there still beeeeee
Many miles to go
Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain
And the stream that falls from hill to plain.
Better than rain or rippling brook-
Is a mug of beer inside this Took!
Green Dragon.
You can search far and wide,
You can drink the whole town dry,
but you’ll never find a beer so brown
but you’ll never find a beer so brown
than the one we drink in our hometown!
(Than the one we drink in our hometown)
You can drink your fancy ales,
You can drink ’em by the flagon,
But the only brew for the brave and truuuuuuue
Comes from the Green Dragon!
The Trail We Blaze, by Sir Elton John, from the unfairly panned The Road to El Dorado:
Look out new world, here we come!
Brave, intrepid and then some
Pioneers of maximum
Audacity whose resumes
Show that we are just the team
To live where others merely dream
Building up a head of steam
On the trail we blaze!
Changing legend into fact!
We shall ride into history.
Turning myth into truth!
We shall surely gaze
On the sweet unfolding
Of an antique mystery
All will be revealed
On the trail we blaze!
Paradise is close at hand
Shangri-la, the promised land
Seventh heaven on demand
Quite unusual nowadays.
Virgin vistas, undefiled.
Minds and bodies running wild.
In the man behold the child.
On the trail we blaze!
The trail we blaze
Is a road uncharted.
Through terra incognita to a golden shrine!
No place for the traveler
To be faint-hearted
We are part of the sumptuous grand design
Changing legend into fact!
We shall ride into history.
Turning myth into truth!
We shall surely gaze on the sweet unfolding
Of an antique mystery
All will be revealed
On the trail we blaze!
On the trail we blaze!
We’re the Spaceballs, The Spinners.
If you’re livin in a bubble and you haven’t got a care

We’re the Spaceballs, Watch Out! cause we’re the Spaceballs
We’re the master of space
Hey, Don’t mess around with the Spaceballs
Uh
Goin cruisin in a spaceship , we’re so good at being bad

New Divide, Linkin Park.
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide
In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you’d deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide
Actually a Pokemon song, “To Know The Unknown”:
How the universe began
What the future holds
Why do fools fall in love?
What happens to our souls?
Clues to life’s mysteries
Are what we hope to find.
Always reachin’ for a reason
Searchin’ for a sign.
To know the unknown
(It doesn’t mean that much to me)
To know the unknown
(Some secrets are just meant to be)
Don’t want all the answers
‘Cause one thing is true
As long as my heart beats
I’ll always love you
So I don’t need to know
The unknown
Is there life on other planets?
Why there’s magic in a kiss
What dreams really mean?
Who hears us when we wish?
Everybody’s wondering
Tryin’ to understand
But all the revelations
Are like castles in the sand
To know the unknown
(It doesn’t mean that much to me)
To know the unknown
(Some secrets are just meant to be)
I don’t need all the answers
‘Cause one thing is true
As long as the earth turns
I’ll always love you
You don’t have to tell me
Just why you went away
Now that you’ve come back
There’s nothing more to say
All I really need to know
Is that you’re here to stay
(Repeat Chorus twice)
So I don’t need to know
The unknown
(lovely song)
Life is Wonderful
by Jason Mraz
It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I’m saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make and action
and it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
[Chorus]
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la life
It takes a night to make it dawn
It takes a day to make you yawn, brother
And it takes some old to make you young
And it takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes your fears to make you trust
It takes some tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished, yeah
[chorus]
It is so
It is so
It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life
It is so wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
It is wonderful

Pollution- Tom Lehrer
If you visit American city
You will find it very pretty
Just two things of which you must beware
Don’t drink the water and don’t breathe the air
Pollution, pollution
They got smog and sewage and mud
Turn on your tap
And get hot and cold running crud
See the halibuts and the sturgeons
Being wiped out by detergeons
Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly
But they don’t last long if they try
Pollution, pollution
You can use the latest toothpaste
And then rinse your mouth
With industrial waste
Just go out for a breath of air
And you’ll be ready for Medicare
The city streets are really quite a thrill
If the hoods don’t get you, the monoxide will
Pollution, pollution
Wear a gas mask and a veil
Then you can breathe
Long as you don’t inhale
Lots of things there that you can drink
But stay away from the kitchen sink
The breakfast garbage that you throw in to the bay
They drink as lunch in San José
So go to the city
See the crazy people there
Like lambs to the slaughter
They’re drinking the water
And breathing, cough, the air
Amazing song by Lemon Demon. This Hyper World.
Oh, for the first time in your life
you’re asking me for my advice
But don’t you dare think you’re off the hook
without me taking an honest look
You got nothing up your sleeve
you got plenty on your mind
and your mouth is getting dry
because you’re yawning all the time
and the days are getting longer
but your patience ticks away
and the wind could knock you over
if the walls weren’t in the way
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do?
Oh, you’ve got to close your eyes
strike that, you’ve got to open them
Oh, your thoughts are flexible
but somehow you have broken them
you’re knocking at the door
like you’d rather not find out
what is on the other side
because it proves beyond a doubt
that you never had a clue
what you wanted all along
you attempt to hold your ground
like being weak is being strong
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do?
Oh, I don’t know, run outside and twirl
Scream hello at this hyper world
Oh, run the rooftop marathon
until your sense of up and down is gone
Discover ten brand new ways
to make tomorrow’s weather like today’s
You’re stuck inside a pattern.
You’re stuck inside a loop
and you’re stuck inside a pattern
You’re stuck inside a loop
and you’re stuck inside a pattern
You’re stuck inside a loop
and you’re stuck inside a pattern
You’re stuck, so take a hammer to it
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do?
Oh, I don’t know, run outside and twirl
Scream hello at this hyper world
I only understand myself
Just me and nobody else
I only understand myself
Just me and nobody else
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do about it?
What can you do? What can you do about it?
Oh, I don’t know, run outside and twirl
Scream hello at this hyper world
I don’t know, run outside and twirl
Scream hello at this hyper world
Still Alive, from the game Portal.
This was a triumph!
I’m making a note here:
“HUGE SUCCESS!!”
It’s hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science:
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there’s no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive.
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 you!
Now, 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 alive.
Go ahead and leave me…
I think I’d prefer to stay inside…
Maybe you’ll find someone else
to help you?
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke! *HAHA- Fat Chance!*
Anyway this cake is great!
It’s so delicious and moist!
Look 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.

The Vatican Rag
First you get down on your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Do whatever steps you want, if
You have cleared them with the Pontiff.
Everybody say his own
Kyrie eleison,
Doin’ the Vatican Rag.
Get in line in that processional,
Step into that small confessional,
There, the guy who’s got religion’ll
Tell you if your sin’s original.
If it is, try playin’ it safer,
Drink the wine and chew the wafer,
Two, four, six, eight,
Time to transubstantiate!
So get down upon your knees,
Fiddle with your rosaries,
Bow your head with great respect,
And genuflect, genuflect, genuflect!
Make a cross on your abdomen,
When in Rome do like a Roman,
Ave Maria,
Gee it’s good to see ya,
Gettin’ ecstatic an’
Sorta dramatic an’
Doin’ the Vatican Rag!

It’s easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Water On The Moon, by John Marmie and Jeff Petro:
5…4…3…2…1
Signs are in the Universe,
Drifting out in space.
Somewhere beyond the darkness
Lie the answers for the human race.
Stars shine deep in the galaxy.
Will we see them face-to-face?
I don’t know what lies tomorrow-
Curiosity will lead the way.
I wanna go-
Faster, faster!
Hands in the air, we’re gonna crash!
Searchin’ for the answers
Like Galileo through his looking glass.
That’s the reason
The dreamer’s eyes we gaze into-
A sense of purpose known by few.
Like finding water on the moon.
If Galileo had his way
I’m sure he’d dance upon the stars.
What a wondrous sense of destiny
To be the first to set foot on Mars.
I wanna go-
Faster, faster!
Hands in the air, we’re gonna crash!
Searchin’ for the answers
Like Galileo through his looking glass.
That’s the reason
The dreamer’s eyes we gaze into-
A sense of purpose known by few.
Like finding water on the moon.
Round and round
The Earth and moon we race.
Pulling back to say goodbye,
It’s time to disembrace.
Falling into darkness
By some sacrifice.
We’re on our way,
We’re on our way.
I wanna go-
Faster, faster!
Hands in the air, we’re gonna crash!
Searchin’ for the answers
Like Galileo through his looking glass.
That’s the reason
The dreamer’s eyes we gaze into-
A sense of purpose known by few.
Like finding water on the moon.
Faster, faster!
Hands in the air, we’re gonna crash!
Searchin’ for the answers
Like Galileo through his looking glass.
That’s the reason
The dreamer’s eyes we gaze into-
A sense of purpose known by few.
Like finding water on the moon.
I don’t know if these are the exact lyrics, because I had to copy it down while I was listening. There doesn’t seem to actually be a transcript anywhere on the web. Either way, very Muserly.
Because I promised to listen to it for John Lennon and LCROSS, I’m also posting the lyrics to Across the Universe, by The Beatles:
Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Nothing’s gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Ten Thousand Miles Away
Oh for a brave and a gallant ship, and a fair and a favoring breeze
With a bully crew and a captain too, to carry me over the seas.
To carry me over the seas, me boys, to my true love far away,
For I’m taking a trip on a government ship, ten thousand miles away.
And it’s blow ye winds hi-ho, a roving I will go.
I’ll stay no more on Erin’s shore to hear the fiddlers play,
I’m off on the bounding main, and I won’t be back again
For I’m on the boat to my own true love, ten thousand miles away.
My true love she was beautiful, my true love she was young,
Her eyes were like the diamonds bright, and silver was her tongue.
And silver was her tongue, me lads, as the bis ship left the bay,
And she said ‘Will you remember me, ten thousand miles away?”
And it’s blow ye winds hi-ho, a roving I will go.
I’ll stay no more on Erin’s shore to hear the fiddlers play,
I’m off on the bounding main, and I won’t be back again
For I’m on the boat to my own true love, ten thousand miles away.
It was a dark and a dismal day, when last I saw my Peg,
She’d a government bad about each hand, and another one ’round her leg.
And another one ’round her leg, me lads, as the big ship sailed away,
‘Adeu” said she, ‘Remember me, ten thousand miles away.”
And it’s blow ye winds hi-ho, a roving I will go.
I’ll stay no more on Erin’s shore to hear the fiddlers play,
I’m off on the bounding main, and I won’t be back again
For I’m on the boat to my own true love, ten thousand miles away.
On the sun it shines through the Dublin fog, and the Liffy runs quite clear,
The water brine turns into wine, and I forget my beer.
And I forget my beer, me boys, or the landlord’s quarter day,
But I’ll never forget my own true love, ten thousand miles away.
The only version of this song I’ve heard was performed by the Bootstrappers at Disneyland. They have (or had) an excellent fiddler; I wish I knew her name.
Calypso, by John Denver (About Captain Cousteau’s ship, not the mythological figure.)
To sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean
To ride on the crest of a wild raging storm
To work in the service of life and the living
In search of the answers to questions unknown
To be part of the movement and part of the
growing
Part of beginning to understand
Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
Like the dolphin who guides you
You bring us beside you
To light up the darkness and show us the way
For though we are strangers in your silent world
To live on the land we must learn from the sea
To be true as the tide
And free as the wind-swell
Joyful and loving in letting it be
Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
Aye, Calypso, the places you’ve been to
The things that you’ve shown us
The stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you
So long and so well
I love that song
For All the Wrong Reasons by Tom Petty-currently my favorite song.
Trouble blew in on a cold dark wind
It came without no warning
And that big ol’ house went up for sale
They were on the road by morning
Oh, the days went slow, into the changing season
Oh, out in the cold, for all the wrong reasons
Well she grew up hard and she grew up fast
In the age of television
And she made a vow to have it all
It became her new religion
Oh, down in her soul, it was an act of treason
Oh, down they go, for all the wrong reasons
Where the sky begins, the horizon ends
Despite the best intentions
And a big ol’ man goes up for sale
He becomes his own invention
Oh, the days go slow, into the changing season
Oh, bought and sold, for all the wrong reasons
Oh, down they go, for all the wrong reasons
This thread has died.
Revival time!
I would, if I had any song lyrics to post…
Walk away (by kelly clarkson). I love this song:
You’ve got your mother and your brother
Every other undercover
Tellin’ you what to say (say)
You think I’m stupid
But the truth is
That it’s cupid, baby
Lovin’ you has made me this way
So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger
Oh yeah
You need to know this situation’s getting old
And now the more you talk
The less I can take, oh
I’m looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why are you still standin’ here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
I waited here for you
Like a kid waiting after school
So tell me how come you never showed (showed)?
I gave you everything
And never asked for anything
And look at me
I’m all alone (alone)
So, before you start defendin’
Baby, stop all your pretendin’
I know you know I know
So what’s the point in being slow
Let’s get the show on the road today
Hey
I’m looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why are you still standin’ here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
I wanna love
I want a fire
To feel the burn
My desires
I wanna man by my side
Not a boy who runs and hides
Are you gonna fight for me?
Die for me?
Live and breathe for me?
Do you care for me?
‘Cause if you don’t then just leave
I’m looking for attention
Not another question
Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don’t have the answer
Why are you still standin’ here?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Just walk away
If you don’t have the answer
Walk away
Just walk (walk) away
(Just walk away)
Then just leave
Yeah yeah
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
I love this song. Especially when I’m a bit mad. I especially like the “I’m looking for attention, not another question” part. Bombarding people with irrevelant/annoying questions is not attention. I could post some translations of german song lyrics, if anyone is interested. Here’s one german song by die Ärtzte (the doctors) which has pwnsome lyrics-it’s about gossip. I’ll just post the translation since this post is long enough as it is:
Lass’ die Leute reden (Let them (the people) talk!):
Did you do something that no-one else does,
did you wear high heels or even a hat,
or did you (dare to) wear a too short dress,
without asking your neighbours first?
Now you’ll be punished with distaste,
you’re a shame for the whole neighbourhood,
you don’t even know what their names are,
while they’re already gossiping about you 24/7
(chorus)
Let them talk and don’t listen to them,
Most people don’t have anything better to do,
Let them talk, by day and by night,
Let the people talk- that’s what they’ve always done
You’ve surely robbed a bank,
how else could you pay the rent? and-
you’re not allowed to go to America anymore,
since you’re Osama Bin Ladens girlfriend,
Do you shave your lady’s beard daily,
or do you have a few corpses buried in your backyard,
the neighbours mentioned something like that, so
don’t be afraid to find the police on your doorstep.
(chorus)
Let them talk and just don’t listen (to them)
The most people don’t even mean you harm
It’s their boring life that’s bugging them
and the day is more interesting, when you tell fairytales
(and on, and on. You get the idea…it’s the Ärtzte, so there’s a bit of stronger language in back.)
Brain Damage.
The 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 rearrange 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’ve had this song stuck in my head all day)

Lick Your Fingers Clean, by Jethro Tull
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ll see you at the weighing in
When your life’s sum-total’s made.
And you set your wealth in godly deeds
Against the sins you’ve laid.
So place your final burden
On your hard-pressed next of kin
Send the chamber pot back down the line
To be filled up again.
Take your mind off your election
And try to get it straight.
And don’t pretend perfection-
You’ll be crucified too late.
And he’ll say you really should make the deal
As he offers ’round the hat.
Well, you’d better lick your fingers clean,
I thank you all for that.
And as you join the good ship earth
And you mingle with the dust
Be sure to leave your underpants
With someone you can trust.
And the hard-headed social worker who bathes his hands in blood
Will welcome you with arms held high
And cover you with mud.
And he’ll say you really should make the deal
As he offers ’round the hat.
Well, you’d better lick your fingers clean.
Well, I’ll thank you all for that.
(Yes, I do have interesting tastes in music)
Okay, you have to have been to Space Camp to get this, but “A Time for Courage” is a song written about the history of the Marshall Space Center that is played at a theater in the museum, and everybody either loves it or thinks it’s really stupid. Me being me, I have the lyrics memorized:
A Time for Courage:
A sleepy little town
Way down in Dixie
With cotton fields as far as you could see
A man named von Braun
Brought a dream to life
Led the world on a path of new discoveries
Chorus:
It was a time for courage,
A time to be strong
A time to step out into the darkness
With only faith to lean on
A time to heed the calling,
To explore the unknown
A time to seize the moment
(beat)
A time to move on.
Beyond those fields
And bound for the heavens
Starlight as far as you could see
We made it to the moon,
Though we’d just begun
Sweet taste of the mystery just beyond our reach.
Chorus
(Instrumental bit)
This path we’re taking
Has never been traveled
There have been trials along the way
All those who’ve dedicated
Time and tears and lives
Believe the reward is worth the chance they take.
We’re on a journey that started right here
And we’re in for the long road!
Joining hands, all around the world
Givin’ all we can to keep this dream alive!
Chorus
298-Speaking of Jethro Tull…
Mother Goose.
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose — so I turned her loose —
she was screaming.
And a foreign student said to me —
was it really true there are elephants and lions too
in Piccadilly Circus?
Walked down by the bathing pond
to try and catch some sun.
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
I don’t believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.
And a bearded lady said to me —
if you start your raving and your misbehaving —
you’ll be sorry.
Then the chicken-fancier came to play —
with his long red beard (and his sister’s weird:
she drives a lorry).
Laughed down by the putting green —
I popped `em in their holes.
Four and twenty labourers were labouring —
digging up their gold.
I don’t believe they knew
that I was Long John Silver.
Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds
in his jet-black mac (which he won’t give back) —
stole it from a snow man.
Oh, the chicken-fancier!
Probably the best song on the Aqualung album!
Hey There Delilah (don’t remember the artist’s name).
Hey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City?
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can’t shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true
Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise
I’m by your side
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me.

Goodbye Milky Way, by Enigma
Shall I go?
Shall I stay?
107 light years away, many times, so many doubts…
but no reason to talk about…
“Mission is over, mission is done,
I will miss you, children of the sun
Now it’s time to go away, Goodbye, Goodbye Milky Way.â€
For a better world, without hate, from your heart believe in fate
Only visions and the mind will guide you to the light.
“Mission is over, mission is done,
I will miss you, children of the sun
Now it’s time to go and say, Goodbye, Goodbye Milky Way!â€
“Mission is over, mission is done,
I will miss you, children of the sun
I’ll get born this one day,
I say Goodbye, Goodbye Milky way!â€
British voice:
“In 5 billion years
The Andromeda Galaxy will collide with our Milky way,
and a new gigantic, cosmic world will be born…”
AMAZING SONG AMAZING SONG KaiYves!
———————————————————————————————–
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won’t forget her.
And in her eyes you see nothing,
No sign of love behind the tears.
Cried for no one,
A love that should have lasted years.
Others Standing By, by Kristoph Klover:
Are we all alone, or are there others standing by.
Waiting to see what we will do, how hard we’ll try?
It costs a lot to live, even more to fly.
Kindly send a prayer my way while I shoot up in the sky.
Chorus:
“Why would you go there?†they say.
“There’s nothing up there anyway.
We could use the money here.
Don’t you know that life’s too dear?â€
Dreamers never ask why.
Spend their money in the sky.
We’ll send the best from Earth, to find out what it’s worth.
We’ll send the best from Earth, to find out what it’s worth.
Late at night when I’m feeling blue,
I know the dream can’t come true.
Everything’s too far away —
Generations far, they say.
But like things that can’t be done
Beyond the pull of our sun,
To some far star we’ll steer,
Though it takes a thousand years!
And the sky’s no limit anymore.
We’ve broken through heaven’s door.
Don’t you want to see where we could be?
Ain’t it funny how people dream?
Make up worlds they’ve never seen,
Beings wonderful and rare
In this cosmos that we share.
Sometimes dreams come true.
Satellites beyond the blue,
Welcoming the human race
When we go and live in space.
This thread seems to be somewhat popular, so how about cruising over to a similar one, Name That Song? It’s a great thread that needs reviving.
Two Beatles songs coming up. Meh, make it three.
Strawberry Fields Forever.
Let me take you down, ‘cos I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It’s getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn’t matter much to me.
Let me take you down, ‘cos I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can’t you know tune in but it’s all right, that is I think it’s not too bad.
Let me take you down, ‘cos I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it’s me, but you know I know when it’s a dream.
I think I know I mean a ‘Yes’ but it’s all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, ‘cos I’m going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Penny Lane.
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he’s had the pleasure to know
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain…
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It’s a clean machine
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she’s in a play
She is anyway
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
Then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain…
Very strange
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies…
Penny Lane.
The Fool on the Hill
Day after day,
Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hear him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feelings,
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.
And he never listens to them,
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.
Ooh,
Round and round and round
A Mary Kate and Ashley song from when I was 6 that I still remembered some of the lyrics to:
Raptor in the Woods
Did you hear that did you hear it?
Yikes! I think it’s over there.
It’s a monster. It’s the wind.
Does the wind have lots of hair?
Can a dinosaur be hairy?
Stop! We’ll never get some sleep.
It’s the wind, there’s nothing scary.
Look! A prehistoric sheep!
Chorus:
Is that a raptor in the woods
The Loch Ness Monster swimming by
Something’s made off with our goods
That must be Bigfoot just outside
Wait! There’s a simple explanation.
It’s just our imagination.
Things that scare us in the night.
Just seem funny when it’s light.
Right? Right. Right. Right.
Goodnight. Goodnight. Goodnight.
Did you see that did you see it?
Giant shadows in the trees
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/7htP ]
It’s a wombat. What’s a wombat?
No, I think it’s killer bees
No it’s worse. It’s from the iceage
Something time has left behind
It’s a giant pterodactyl,
with a little puny mind
Chorus
You guys, you’ve heard my explanation,
It’s just our imagination.
Who’s around and hold me tight.
Just don’t let the bedbugs bite
Right? Right. Right. Right. Goodnight.
But if I don’t make it, give my
goldfish to my twin.
I don’t want your goldfish.
But you’re my next of kin.
Sometimes you can’t win.
Wait! I know the explanation.
It’s not imagination.
Arm yourself it’s time to fight
or let’s book ourselves a flight
Right? Right. Right? Right.
Right? Right. Right?
This is my favorite Christmas song. It’s got just the right amount of violence.
Oh, me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride
As we went a-walkin’ down by the seaside
Mark now what followed and what did betide
For it bein’ on Christmas mornin’
Out for recreation, we went on a tramp
And we met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Vamp
And a little wee drummer intending to camp
For the day bein’ pleasant and charming.
“Good morning, good morning,” the sergeant did cry
“And the same to you gentlemen,” we did reply
Intending no harm but meant to pass by
For it bein’ on Christmas morning
“But,” says he, “My fine fellows, if you will enlist
Ten guineas in gold I’ll stick in your fist
And a crown in the bargain for to kick up the dust
And drink the king’s health in the morning.
“For a soldier, he leads a very fine life
And he always is blessed with a charming young wife
And he pays all his debts without sorrow or strike
And he always is pleasant and charmin’
And a soldier he always is decent and clean
In the finest of clothing he’s constantly seen
While other poor fellows go dirty and mean
And sup on thin gruel in the morning”.
“But,” says Arthur, “I wouldn’t be proud of your clothes
For you’ve only the lend of them, as I suppose
And you’re dare not change them one night, for you know
If you do, you’ll be flogged in the morning
And although that we’re single and free
We take great delight in our own company
We have no desire strange places to see
Although that your offers are charming.
“And we have no desire to take your advance
All hazards and dangers we barter on chance
For you’d have no scruples for to send us to France
Where we could get shot without warning”
“Oh no,” says the Sergeant, “I’ll have no such chat
And neither will I take it from spalpeen or brat
For if you insult me with one other word
I’ll cut off your heads in the morning”.
And Arthur and I, we soon drew our hods
And we scarce gave them time to draw their own blades
When a trusty shillelagh came over their head
And bid them take that as fair warning
And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their sides
We flung them as far as we could in the tide
“Now take them up, devils !” cried Arthur McBride
“And temper their edge in the morning!”.
And the little wee drummer, we flattered his bow
And we made a football of his rowdy-dow-dow
Threw it in the tide for to rock and to roll
And bade it a tedious returning
And we havin’ no money, paid them off in cracks
We paid no respect to their two bloody backs
And we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks
And left them for dead in the morning.
And so, to conclude and to finish disputes
We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits
For we were the lads who would give them hard clouts
And bid them look sharp in the morning.
Oh, me and my cousin, one Arthur McBride
As we went a-walkin’ down by the seaside
Mark now what followed and what did betide
For it bein’ on Christmas morning.
I don’t know what this one’s called… But I like it
(chorus and final line)
That’s the way that the world goes ’round
sometimes you’re up and some
times you’re down
It’s a half an inch a water
think you’re gonna drown
that’s the way that the world goes ’round
oh, that’s the way that the world goes ’round
I’m sure I know that one, but I don’t know what it’s called or who it’s by. Grr.
Only A Heartbeat, by T’Pau, written in 1991 about the fall of communism:
There’s a million ways, and glory days
To take your breath away.
But you can’t see what’s taking place.
Well you know that the sun will set and sun will rise
And everything will be alright.
Chorus:
And they took the wall away (They took the wall away)
Step by step it came down again.
A chain reaction, a solemn vow
Who in the world can stop this now?
Lift your head to a new decade,
Comin’ is the start of a whole new wave,
Hold onto the meaning of the word,
And when you know it’s only gonna be
A question of morality,
It’s only a heartbeat away.
It’s a call for justice.
We’re free to be a part.
And pay lip service to it all.
‘Cause you see that half the world has overcome
The other half is deaf and dumb.
Now you will hear them call.
Chorus
Lift your head to a new decade,
Comin’ is the start of a whole new wave,
Hold onto the meaning of the word,
And when you know it’s only gonna be
A question of morality,
It’s only a heartbeat away.
Hold on to your hope.
Lift your head and there’s a brand new day
It’s only a heartbeat away.
So don’t sanctify
To rectify
‘Cause we are here to dignify
Lift your head to a new decade,
Comin’ is the start of a whole new wave,
Hold onto the meaning of the word,
And when you know it’s only gonna be
A question of morality,
It’s only a heartbeat away.
Lift your head and face the day,
It’s only a heartbeat away.
Lift your head to a new decade,
Comin’ is the start of another new day,
Hold onto the meaning of the word,
And when you know it’s only gonna be
A question of morality,
It’s only a heartbeat away.
What About Livingstone? by ABBA:
Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
And then I heard them laugh and say
Look, theyre gonna go flying way up to the moon now
Hey, whats it good for anyway?
So I said
Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way?
Tell me, wasn’t it worth the while?
Travelling up the Nile?
Putting themselves on test
Didnt that help the rest?
Wasnt it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
And all of those fellas at the local news-stand
Didnt know what to answer or what to say
So I told them about him, that he was just like
One of those spacemen in his way
And if you laugh like them
Then theres only a thing I can say
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way?
Tell me, wasn’t it worth the while?
Travelling up the nile
Putting themselves on test
Didnt that help the rest?
Wasnt it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way?
Tell me, wasn’t it worth the while?
Travelling up the Nile?
Putting themselves on test
Didn’t that help the rest?
Wasn’t it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
KaiYves: When I was an exchange student in Russia, my Russian roommate Volodya had this song on an ABBA tape. In fact, it was the only tape he owned, and he played it over and over until “What About Livingstone?” and other obscure early ABBA songs were permanently seared into my brain.
Sorry for dredging it up, then Robert. I personally like it, but I know how annoying songs can get under circumstances like that. *Cough* “Bad Day” *cough*
No, no, I don’t mind! It brought back pleasant memories. I was just surprised to see it here on MuseBlog.
(Now, it might be a different story if you were to start singing “Suzy-Hang-Around.”)
China Cat Sunflower, by the Grateful Dead. possibly the most random song ever. It’s wonderful.
Look for a while at the China Cat sunflower,
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun.
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono,
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind.
Crazy cat peeking through a lace bandanna,
Like a one-eyed Cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack.
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle,
To a double-E waterfall over my back.
Comic book colors on a violin river crying Leonardo,
Words from out a silk trombone.
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls,
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee
See the Constellation by They Might Be Giants
I lay my head on the railroad track
Stare at the sky all painted up
Your train is gone, won’t be coming back
See the constellation ride across the sky
No cigar, no lady on his arm
Just a guy made of dots and lines
Just a guy made of dots and lines
Two years ago moved from my town
I was looking up past the city lights
But the city lights got in my way
See the constellation ride across the sky
No cigar, no lady on his arm
Just a guy made of dots and lines
Just a guy made of dots and lines
I found my mind on the ground below
I was looking down, it was looking back
I was in the sky all dressed in black
See the constellation ride across the sky
No cigar, no lady on his arm
Just a guy made of dots and lines
Just a guy made of dots and lines
Just a guy made of dots and lines
Can you hear what I see in the sky?
Can you hear what I see in the sky?
Can you hear what I see in the sky?
Peace of Mind, by Boston:
Now if you’re feelin’ kinda low ’bout the dues you’ve been paying
Future’s coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin’
Can’t decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Now you’re climbin’ to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn’t take too long
Can’t ya see there’ll come a day when it won’t matter?
Come a day when you’ll be gone
I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Take a look ahead, take a look ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah… whoa!
Now everybody’s got advice they just keep on givin’
Doesn’t mean too much to me
Lot’s of people out to make-believe they’re livin’
Can’t decide who they should be.
I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Take a look ahead, take a look ahead. Look ahead.
Song For The Lonely, by Cher:
When you’re standing on the edge of nowhere
There’s only one way up
So your heart’s got to go there
Through the darkest night
See the light shine bright
When hero’s fall, in love or war
They live forever
[Chorus:]
This is a song – for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I’ll be by your side
And this is a song – for the lonely
When your dreams won’t come true
Can you hear this prayer?
‘Cause someone’s there for you
Well, love don’t need a reason
She can pick you up
Or leave you bleeding
I’ve seen a strong man cry
I know the reason why
We all forgive, we all forget
We just keep believing
[Chorus]
So let it find you
Wherever you may go
I’m right beside you
You don’t have to look no more
You don’t have to look no more, oh no
[Chorus]
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be alright
This is a song
A song for the lonely
And that’s not you only
Through the darkest night
You’re gonna see the light
Love don’t need a reason
Just to leave you bleeding
Can you hear this prayer?
Someone’s there
This is a song – for the lonely
Can you hear me tonight?
For the broken hearted, battle scarred
I’ll be by your side
And this is a song
For the lonely
Strawberry Swing, by ColdPlay. You probably all know this one, but I have it going around in my head:
They were sitting, they were sitting in the strawberry swing
And every moment was so precious
They were sitting, they were talking in the strawberry swing
And everybody was for fighting
Wouldn’t wanna waste a thing
Cold, cold water bring me ’round
Now my feet won’t touch the ground
Cold, cold water
What you say?
It’s such, it’s such a perfect day
It’s such a perfect day
I remember we were walking up to strawberry swing
I can’t wait ’til the morning
Wouldn’t wanna change a thing
People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don’t you wanna curve away
It’s such it’s such a perfect day
It’s such a perfect day
Ahhhh….
Now the sky could be blue
I don’t mind
Without you its a waste of time
…could be blue I don’t mind, without you it’s a waste of time
The sky could be blue, could be gray without you I just slide away
The sky could be blue, I don’t mind, without you it’s a waste of time
Somebody told me about a song that I should listen to. So, I looked it up, and what do you know, I agree. It’s called “God Thinks”, and is incredibly ironic if you don’t have a religion.
Go look it up if it sounds interesting to you, it’s a bit controversial.
Controversial like some of the stuff on Aqualung, or a different kind of controversial?
I think en means controversial in the religious/existence-of-God way.
No, Ducky, not everything I put on here has something to do with Jethro Tull, although much of it does.
Controversial as in, and I quote, “God thinks you’re an idiot”
Sort of like My God, then?
But yes, that’s closer.
Satellite Skine
Modest Mouse
If you break these moth-wing feelings
powdering dust on your fingers
we know we’re not praying, we’re kneeling
hard enough just to say you believe them
well how the heck did you think you could beat them
at the same time that you’re trying to be them?
hard enough just to say you don’t need it when they
serve it up while you will still eat it
Well satellite, satellite skin
Just enough just to say you don’t mean as if
well, everybody’s willing to listen
oh satellite, satellite skin
you can say what you want, you’re forgiven
well happy f****** congratulations
well everyone, everyone wins
just like being in my own solar system
doing good things but then totally eclipse them
Oh what the use, oh what the hell
If you break these moth wing feelings
butterfly knives in the ceiling
well everyone, everyone’s waiting
detachments gets praised and completed
you can say what you want and not mean it
when no one really seems to be waiting
if you sweep up this mess I’ve created
nothing’s left to show I existed
Oh satellite, satellite skin
Asking for a question
was it easier said than was actually done?
do you even believe that
do you even believe that there’s a race to be won?
If you break these moth-wing feelings
I have seen it all become satellite skin
open innocent eyes
I’d like to know these morbid opinions
get stacked in all those usual avoided spots
just to tell you how I could not have seen
through to the gist of those unhappy
Happy accidents
Two songs I sang this weekend, and need to learn.
Tow Rope Girls by Bob Zentz
1. Oh, a ship in the tropics, rolling along
With every stitch drawing, the trade blowing strong
And the white caps around her, breaking in spray
The girls have got hold of our tow-rope today!
And it’s haul away, girls, steady and true
Polly and Dolly and Sally and Sue
Mothers and sisters, sweethearts and all
Haul away, all the way, haul away, haul!
2. She’s logging sixteen as she speeds from the south
With the wind in her royals, with a bone in her mouth
With a wake like a mill-race, she rolls on her way
The girls have got hold of our tow-rope today! (chorus)
3. The Old Man he stood on the poop at high noon
He paced fore and aft and he whistled a tune
He put by his sextant, and thus he did say
“Them girls have got hold of our tow-rope today!†(chorus)
4. Of cargoes and charters we’ve had our full share
Of grain and of lumber enough and to spare
Of nitrates at Taltal and rice for Bombay
The girls have got hold of our tow-rope today! (chorus)
5. She’s dipped her yards under, hove-to off the Horn
In the fog and the floes, she has drifted forlorn
Becalmed in the doldrums, a week long she lay
Those girls have got hold of our tow-rope today! (chorus)
6. So hear the good trade wind singing aloud
A homeward bound shanty in sheet and in shroud
Oh, hear how she whistles in the halliard and stay
“The girls have got hold of the tow-rope today!†(chorus)
7. And it’s oh, for the chops of the channel at last
The cheer that goes up when the tug hawser’s passed
The mate’s “that’ll do,†and fourteen months’ pay
The girls have got hold of our tow-rope today! (chorus)
When Allen sang this one you could have heard a pin drop, and I know that I, at least, was under the spell of that very quiet feeling, not exactly near tears, but contemplative and melancholy in a good way. Affected, in other words, by a great song and a great singer and wonderful person in general.
And a funny one, though there are a few other verses I’ll have to track down somewhere of another:
The Last Shanty
My father often told me when I was just a lad
A sailor’s life is very hard, the food is always bad
But now I’ve joined the Navy, I’m on board a man-o’-war
And now I find a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
Don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain’t a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
McKillick of our mess he says we’ve had it soft
It wasn’t like this in his day when he was up aloft
We like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what’s a hammock for?
Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor?
Don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain’t a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
They gave us an engine that first went up and down
Then with more technology the engine went around
We’re good with steam and diesel, but what’s a mainyard for?
A stoker ain’t a stoker with a shovel anymore
Don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain’t a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
They gave us an Aldis Lamp so we can do it right
They gave us a radio, we signal day and night
We know our codes and ciphers, but what’s a “sema†for?
A bunting-tosser doesn’t toss the bunting anymore
Don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain’t a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
They gave us a radar set to pierce the fog and gloom
Now the lookout’s sitting in a tiny darkened room
Loran does navigation, the sonar says how deep
The Jimmy’s three sheets to the wind, the skipper’s fast asleep
Don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain’t a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
Two cans of beer a day, that’s your bleeding lot
But now we gets an extra one because they stopped the Tot
So, we’ll put on our civvy-clothes and find a pub ashore
A sailor’s still a sailor, just like he was before
Don’t haul on the rope, don’t climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain’t a sailor ain’t a sailor anymore
This one’s just a lot of fun.
Blast it, only the song titles were supposed to be boldified. HTML Gnome?

Hero of Canton, from Firefly.
Jayne!
The Man they call Jayne!
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor,
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now, aint hard to explain,
The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!
Our Jayne saw the Mudders’ backs breakin’
He saw the Mudders lament
And he saw the magistrate takin’
Every dollar and leavin’ five cents
So he said, “You can’t do that to my people”
He said “You can’t crush them under your heel”
Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain’t hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!
Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned ’round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
And the man call Jayne
He stole away our pain
And headed out for the stars
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain’t hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!
That’s my favorite episode, except for the silly subplot about Inara and the boss’s son.
Yeah, that part was *bleah*. Overall, it wasn’t my favorite episode, but I think I like Hero of Canton even more than the theme song.
Definitely up there with my favorites for these reasons:
*Turned Jayne from brutish comic relief into a rounded character
*Codified Kaylee and Simon’s exquisitely awkward relationship
*Musings on the nature of heroism
*Book’s hair
Though you have to admit that as brutish comic relief goes, Jayne Cobb is one of the best.
*still hopes for the day when the female characters in a show like “Firefly” can be half as flawed, interesting, and funny as Jayne Cobb*
Yeah… Kaylee (another of my faves) is probably the closest. Inara was the least interesting character because she was too perfect. While River had plenty of flaws, they were less the “realistic personality” type than the “clinically insane” type. I think Zoe would have been more interesting if she’d gotten a chance for more character development. Although “War Stories” gave her a bit of the spotlight, it was more about her relationship with Wash and the Captain than her as a person.
Oh, I don’t deny that. I’m not sure if his famous quote from “War Stories” is blog-safe, even out of context, but suffice to say he’s a funny guy. His antics were the one redeeming component of “Heart of Gold.”
i dislike kaylee and simon’s relationship. i dislike simon and i love kaylee.
this is a brilliant episode
one of my favs as well. i honestly don’t really care about jayne’s character being rounded out or anything, it was just funny.
hero of canton is on my ipod. about four times, actually. i also have an embarrassing amount of firefly-related filk
Was that the one with the broken Bible? I loved that bit. And it’s good to know that I’m not the only one who knows that song.
My favorite episode so far is Our Mrs. Reynolds. (I’m still only halfway through, because I’m watching with my family who never seems to have time. Bleh.) But Jaynestown was also really good.
Pseudohistoria
I don’t know but I been told
That out language is centuries old
They say it came from across the sea, from a far, far place called Germany
We all come from Africa
Some of us moved to India
I bet that Homo Erectus was the first Mohenjodaran
Somewhere in the fertile crescent
Habilus gave him a present
Just a little language known as Indo European
I don’t know but I been told
That out language is centuries old
They say it came from across the sea, from a far, far place called Germany
I know its wierd, but I can tell
That we don’t got a snowball’s chance in h*ll
To save ourselves from the ratrace of eternity
Next up was Neanderthalis
Albiet not the first to call us
He had no telephone, and his mouth was made of stone
It was the Gangians
Who spoke the language Dradvian
Not him, of course, ‘cuz Europe was his home.
I don’t know but I been told
That out language is centuries old
They say it came from across the sea, from a far, far place called Germany
I know its wierd, but I can tell
That we don’t got a snowball’s chance in h*ll
To save ourselves from the ratrace of eternity
(Its a work in progress
)
Nice! It sounds like some of Randy Newman’s songs (his earlier ones, not the ones he writes for kids’ movies nowadays).
I’ve known this song for ages, but I heard it in concert last night. It seems very muserly… Anyways, Branching Out by John Gorka.
When I grow up I want to be a tree
Want to make my home with the birds and the bees
And the squirrels, they can count on me
When I grow up to be a tree
I’ll let my joints get stiff, put my feet in the ground
Take the winters off and settle down
Keep my clothes till they turn brown
When I grow up, I’m gonna settle down
I’m gonna reach, I’m gonna reach
I’m gonna reach, reach for the sky
I’m gonna reach, I’m gonna reach
I’m gonna reach, till I know why
When the spring comes by I’m gonna get real green
If the dogs come by I’m gonna get real mean
On windy days, I’ll bend and lean
When I grow up I’m gonna get real green
If I should fall in storm or slumber
Please don’t turn me into lumber
I’d rather be a Louisville slugger
Swinging for the seats…
‘m gonna reach, I’m gonna reach
I’m gonna reach, reach for the sky
I’m gonna reach, I’m gonna reach
I’m gonna reach, till I know why
I love this song, and I need to learn it. Gorgeous melody, I wish I could type it out but, alas, that doesn’t seem possible. *sniff*
The River Lea
It was one fine day in the month of May
And I was outward bound
I hadn’t any tin for to buy some gin,
So I walked the streets of town.
My shoes were out at the elbows
And I was in sore need
So I signed as a jolly sailor
On board of the River Lea.
I’ll go to sea no more,
And beat down the Bay of Fundy
Forever more I’ll stay on the shore,
I’ll go to sea no more.
No more I’ll take my first lookout,
No more I’ll take my wheel.
No more at the cry “Up aloft!” I’ll fly,
Whilst “Aye aye, Sir” I squeal.
No more I’ll reef those topsails in,
For it’s no more my trade.
No more I’ll brail that spanker in,
On board of the River lea.
I’ll go to sea no more,
And beat down the Bay of Fundy,
Forever I’ll stay on the shore.
I’ll go to sea no more.
No more I’ll pull on the lee fore’s brace,
Nor by royal halyards stand.
No more I’ll ride those swifters down,
With a tarpot in my hand.
Mo more I’ll cross those royal yards,
Or furl that flying jib.
No more I’ll shift gaff topsails tacks,
On board of the River Lea.
I’ll go to sea no more
And beat down the Bay of Fundy.
Forever more I’ll stay on the shore,
I’ll go to sea no more.
I’ve crossed the Western ocean,
I’ve sailed the raging main.
But I’ve made it a rule that I won’t be a fool
And go to sea again.
I’ll stay at home in comfort
And good advice I’ll give,
Don’t ever sign as a sailor
On board of the River Lea.
I’ll go to sea no more,
And beat down the Bay of Fundy,
Forever more I’ll stay on the shore,
I’ll go to sea no more.
Hot Air Balloon, by Owl City
We wrote a prelude
To our own fairy tale
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
We wound a race track
Through your mom’s kitchen chairs
And fought the shadows back
Down your dark basement stairs
I lit a match, then let it catch
To light up the room
And then you yelled as we beheld
An old maroon hot air balloon
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
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can’t wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
La la la la la laaa
La la la la la laaa
We drank the Great Lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade
So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone
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
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can’t wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
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
Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over town
I can’t wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down
Galileo, by Indigo Girls:
Galileo’s head was on the block,
the crime was looking up the truth.
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
I try to trace them to my youth.
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
over a couple of beers the other night.
And now I’m serving time for mistakes made by another in a another lifetime.
(Chorus)
How long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light?
I call on the resting soul of Galileo
King of night vision, king of insight.
And then I think about my fear of motion,
which I never could explain.
Some other fool across the ocean years ago
must have crashed his little airplane.
How long till my soul gets it right?
Could any human being ever reach that kind of light?
I call on the resting soul of Galileo
King of night vision, king of insight.
I’m not making a joke, you know me; I take everything so seriously.
If you wait till the time till all souls get it right
then at least I know they’ll be no nuclear annihilation in my lifetime.
I’m still not right.
I offer thanks to those before me, that’s all I’ve got to say.
Cuz maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime
Now I have to pay.
But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration
To let the next life off the hook.
But she’ll say, Look what I had to overcome from my last life,
I think I’ll write a book.
How long till my soul gets it right?
Can any human being ever reach the highest light?
Except for Galileo, God rest his soul
King of night vision, king of insight.
I love that song. A good friend of mine and I sang it for musicale at camp once. What fun.
i have the mandlebrot set stuck in my head…
MANDLEBROT SET/you’re a rorschach test on fire/you’re a day-glo pterodactyl/you’re a heart-shaped box of springs and wires/you’re on blog-inappropriate fractal/and you’re just in time to save the day/sweeping all our fears away/you can change the world in a tiny way…
Love Like Rockets, by Angels and Airwaves:
I held my head as it left the ground,
The belts grew tight as the blast grew load,
A loving wish whispered in my ear,
Please lead with grace, all the best my dear,
Yeah, It’s like
I held your hand as I pulled you in,
Your lips sealed tight, ready to begin,
I kissed you first, then you kissed my ear,
If I ask you once, will you ask me every year?
Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
The Sun it set in the night time sky,
The stars they cast a glow upon my eyes,
The Earth itself a burning ball of light, yeah, it’s like
And our first love was ignited late that night
Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine)
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound
(Do You Feel Alive? (Imagine, Imagine))
The stars in your eyes light up the sky with thoughts, light and fire and sound.
i almost went to see them with Say Anything!
and then…i didn’t…
yeah, not really much of a story, is it?
I made it through the wilderness
You know I made it through
I never knew how lost I was until I found you.
I first heard this years ago. A most Muserly love song, if only for the things it name-checks.
Trying to Find Atlantis, by Jaime O’Neal:
I hear he’s out there somewhere
Been looking for him everywhere
From Rosweld to Timbucku I thought I found him once at a jiffy lube
But it turned into a dead end so I got my oil changed and I tried again
He was a major in archeology
I was digging on him but he wasn’t on me
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
It’s a mystery like the deep blue sea
You can take it you can leave it but I still believe
So I won’t give up and I won’t give in
I know I’m gonna find him I just don’t know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
I met a mystic down in Memphis we stood at the foot of the pyramid
He had me looking east – He had me looking west
Then he showed me a map and said I wish you the best
There was Elvis not the real one
When told me good bye he called me hun
Just another shot in the dark- like El Dorado or Noah’s ark
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
It’s a mystery like the deep blue sea
You can take it you can leave it but I still believe
So I won’t give up and I won’t give in
I know I’m gonna find him I just don’t know when
A girl trying to find herself the perfect man is like trying to find Atlantis
Jerk It Out, by The Caesars.
Wind me up
Put me down
Start me off and watch me go
I’ll be running circles around you sooner than you know
A little off center
And I’m out of tune
Just kicking this can along the avenue
But I’m alright
Coz it’s easy once you know how it’s done
You can’t stop now
It’s already begun
You feel it
Running through your bones
And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out
Shut up
Hush your mouth
Can’t you hear you talk too loud
No I can’t hear nothing cause I got my head up in the clouds
I bite off anything that I can chew
I’m chasing cars up and down the avenue
But that’s ok
Coz it’s easy once you know how it’s done
You can’t stop now
It’s already begun
You feel it
Running through your bones
So you jerk it out
Coz it’s easy once you know how it’s done
You can’t stop now
It’s already begun
You feel it
Running through your bones
And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out
Oh baby don’t you know you really gotta jerk it out
When you jerk it out baby don’t you know you really gotta jerk it out
When you jerk it out baby don’t you know you really gotta jerk it out
Best actual song I ever heard in a video game (well, this or Still Alive)
The Waffle Song (this isn’t Do You Like Waffles)
Waffles!
Belgian or potato waffles!
Looking thorugh to you now
Do you have a waffle?
Wouldn’t you be happier if you did?
I’m talking waffles!
Belgian and potato, all kinds taste great
Oh yes they do
‘Cause they are waffles!
Invented by Ghandi, why not keep some handy
For moments when you need
Waaaaaffles
Wiffle waffle waffle oh wiffles
Waffle waffle waffle oh waffles
Waffles waffles waffles
Repeat et all, ad infinium.
Icarus- Borne On Wings of Steel, by Kansas:
Early in the morning sunlight
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I’ll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I won’t come down no more
Higher than a bird I’m flying,
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel, I have so much to feel
And I won’t come down no more
Sail on, sail on! I will rise each day to meet the dawn
So high, so high!
I’ve climbed the mountains of the sky
Without my wings you know I’d surely die
I found my freedom flyin’ high
I’ve climbed the mountains of the sky!
Floating on a cloud of amber
Searching for the rainbow’s end
Earth so far below me,
I’m here alone, free
I can’t come down no more
This is from The Wiz.
It’s called So You Wanted to Meet the Wizard
The spaces are where just music is playing.
So you wanted to meet
the Wizard?
Well let me tell you that you’ve come
to the rght place.
Shall I make you a frog
or a lizard?
You should see the strained expression
on your face.
If the way I come on
is frightening,
that’s the way I felt like
coming on today.
Have you ever been kissed
by lightning?
Let me tell you, that will make
you go away.
I fly
and the magic of my power
takes me higher,
to a level where the clouds
turn into fire,
and in the warmth inside my fire
I feel fine.
Just keep your eyes open,
and the magic you will see.
It will whistle on the wind
as it emenates from me.
It’s a strong and true vibration,
you can feel it on your skin.
So come and take my hand
and we will dance
upon the wind!
Oh!
So you wanted to meet
the Wizard!
The Miracle, by Queen
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all
It’s a miracle
All God’s creations great and small!
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal!
That’s a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers, fathers dead and gone
It’s a miracle
We’re having a miracle on Earth
Mother Nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on!
The hanging Gardens of Babylon!
Captain Cook and Cain and Able
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It’s a miracle, it’s a miracle, it’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
The one thing we’re all waiting for, is peace on earth – an end
to war
It’s a miracle we need – the miracle
The miracle we’re all waiting for today
If every leaf on every tree could tell a story, that would be
a miracle
If every child on every street, had clothes to wear and food to
eat
That’s a miracle
If all God’s people could be free, to live in perfect harmony
It’s a miracle
We’re having a miracle on Earth
Mother Nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery!
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea!
Superpowers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It’s a miracle, it’s a miracle, it’s a miracle
(wonders of this world go on)
It’s a miracle it’s a miracle it’s a miracle
It’s a miracle
The one thing (the one thing) we’re all waiting for (we’re all
waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth) and an end to war (an end
to war)
It’s a miracle we need – the miracle
The miracle peace on earth and end to war today
That time will come. One day you’ll see. When we can all be
friends!
That time will come. One day you’ll see. When we can all be
friends!
That time will come. One day you’ll see. When we can all be
friends!
That time will come. One day you’ll see. When we can all be
friends!
Reason for Waiting (Jethro Tull)
What a sight for my eyes to see you in sleep.
Could’ve startled the sunrise hearing you weep.
You’re not seen, you’re not heard
but I stand by my word.
Came a thousand miles
just to catch you while you’re smiling.
What a day for laughter and walking at night.
Me following after, your hand holding tight.
And the memory stays clear with the song that you hear.
If I can but make the words awake the feeling.
What a reason for waiting and dreaming of dreams.
So here’s hoping you’ve faith in impossible schemes,
that are born in the sigh of the wind blowing by
while the dimming light brings the end to a night of loving.
I love this song!
Wow, this is a late reply.
New thread?
Good idea!
Destiny (Theme song for the EPCOT ride Mission Space)
Through time and space
Together we race
To brave new worlds across the universe
As bright as the sun
A new star is born
Shining out its light for all of us
The greatest journey of all time for all to see
Every mission makes our dreams reality
And our destiny
Begins with you and me
Through all space and time
The achievement of mankind
As we sail the sea
Of discovery
On heroes’ wings we fly
One small step today
Takes us light years away
To the great unknown we chase our destiny
So be brave of heart
And reach for the stars
Together we are making history
The greatest journey of all time for all to see
Every mission makes our dreams reality
And our destiny
Begins with you and me
Through all space and time
The achievement of mankind
As we sail the sea
Of discovery
On heroes’ wings we fly
Flying high we’re soaring to tomorrow
Reaching out the future’s in our hands
The journey starts, the adventure never-ending
The new frontier we face is the mystery of space
Destiny begins with you and me
Through all space and time
The achievement of mankind
As we sail the sea
Of discovery
On heroes’ wings we fly
Destiny begins with you and me
Through all space and time
The achievement of mankind
As we sail the sea
Of discovery
On heroes’ wings we fly
“Flying For Me”, John Denver:
Well I guess that you probably know by now
I was one who wanted to fly
I wanted to ride on that arrow of fire right up into heaven
And I wanted to go for every man
Every child, every mother of children
I wanted to carry the dreams of all people right up to the stars
And I prayed that I’d find an answer there
Or maybe I would find a song
Giving a voice to all of the hearts that cannot be heard
And for all of the ones who live in fear
And all of those who stand apart
My being there would bring us a little step closer together
They were flying for me
They were flying for everyone
They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
They gave us their light
They gave us their spirit and all they could be
They were flying for me
They were flying for me
And I wanted to wish upon the Milky Way
And dance upon a falling star
I wanted to give myself and free myself, and join myself with it all
Given the chance to dream, it can be done
The promise of tomorrow is real
Children of Spaceship Earth,
The future belongs to us all
She was flying for me
She was flying for everyone
She was trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
She gave us her light
She gave us her spirit and all she can be
She was flying for me
They were flying for me
They were flying for everyone
They were trying to see a brighter day for each and everyone
They gave us their light
They gave us their spirit and all they can be
They were flying for me
They were flying for me
They were flying for me
They were flying for me
Nobody’s Side from Chess
which i just recently watched again and as soon as i got to I Know Him So Well i had to pause and go to the youtubes to find the version with john barrowman because it is best. if you haven’t heard it, go find it now. it’s like fornication for your ears.
but anyway, this is not that song, this is a different song. idina menzel does this song in the version i have.
Everybody’s playing the game
But nobody’s rules are the same
Nobody’s on nobody’s side
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you’re out on your own
Nobody’s on nobody’s side.
The one I should not think of
Keeps rolling through my mind
And I don’t want to let that go
No lovers ever faithful
No contract truly signed
There’s nothing certain left to know
And how the cracks begin to show!
Never make a promise or plan
Take a little love where you can
Nobody’s on nobody’s side
Never stay too long in your bed
Never lose your heart, use your head
Nobody’s on nobody’s side.
Never take a stranger’s advice
Never let a friend fool you twice
Nobody’s on nobody’s side
Never be the first to believe
Never be the last to deceive
Nobody’s on nobody’s side
And never leave a moment too soon
Never waste a hot afternoon
Nobody’s on nobody’s side
Never stay a minute too long
Don’t forget the best will go wrong
Nobody’s on nobody’s side.
Better learn to go it alone
Recognize you’re out on your own
Nobody’s on nobody’s side.
Because I’m in one of those moods when this is just the FUNNIEST THING EVAR. (My apologies.)
The Assumption song by the Arrogant Worms
There was an old farmer
Who lived on a rock
He sat in the meadow
Just shaking his
Fist at some boys
Who were down by the crick
Their feet in the water
Their hands on their
Marbles and playthings
And at half past four
There came a young lady
She looked like a
Pretty young creature
She sat on the grass
She pulled up her dress
And she showed them her
Ruffles and laces
And white fluffy duck
She said she was learning
A new way to
Bring up her children
So they would not spit
While the boys in the barnyard
Were shoveling
Refuse and litter
From yesterday’s hunt
While the girl in the meadow
Was rubbing her
Eyes at the fellow
Down by the dock
He looked like a man
With a sizable
Home in the country
With a big fence out front
And if he asked her politely
She’d show him her
Little pet dog
Who was subject to fits
And maybe she’d let him
Grab hold of her
Small tender hand
With a movement so quick
And then she’d bend over
And suck on his
Candy, so tasty
Made of butterscotch
And then he’d spread whipped cream
All over her
Cookies that she had
Left out on her shelf
If you think this is dirty
You can go [do un-MB friendly activities to] yourself!
