"Faith Alone"

Heard a sermon from a creaky pul pit with no one in the nave
I paid a visit to the synagogue and I left there feeling blame
No one could tell me what to do, they had not the capacity to answer me

What the world needs now is some answers to our problems
We can't buy more time 'cause our tender isn't valid
If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity
But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more

Watched the scientists throw up their hands conceding, "progress will resolve it all"
Saw the manufacturers of earth's debris ignore another green peace call
No one could tell me what to do, no one had the ability to answer me

What the world needs now is some accountability
We can't buy more time 'cause time won't accept our money
If your soul needs love you can always have my pity
But it looks as though faith alone won't sustain us no more...

What the world needs now is some answers to our problems
We can't buy more time 'cause our tender isn't valid
What the world needs now is some accountability
If your soul needs love you can get consoled by pity
But faith alone won't sustain us anymore
faith alone won't sustain us anymore [to fade]

[TOT]

all the world just stopped now
so you say you don't wanna stay together anymore
let me take a deep breath babe
if you need me, me and neil'll be
hangin' out with the DREAM KING

neil says hi by the way
i don't believe you're leaving cause
me and charles manson like the same ice cream
i think it's that girl
and i think there're pieces of me
you've never seen
maybe she's just pieces of me
you've never seen well

all the world is
all i am
the black of the blackest ocean
and that tear in your hand
all the world is DANGLIN'...
danglin'... danglin' for me DARLIN'
you don't know the power that you have
with that tear in your hand
that tear in your hand

maybe i ain't used to maybes
smashing in a cold room
cutting my hands up
every time i touch you
maybe maybe it's time
to wave goodbye now
time to wave goodbye now

caught a ride with the moon
i know i know you well
well better than i used to
HAZE all clouded up my mind
in the DAZE of the why
it could've never been
so you say and i say
you know you're full of wish
and your "baby baby baby babies"
i tell you they're pieces of me
you've never seen
maybe she's just pieces of me
you've never seen well

all the world is
all i am
the black of the blackest ocean
and that tear in your hand
all the world is DANGLIN'...
danglin'... danglin' for me DARLIN'
you don't know the power that you have
with that tear in your hand
that tear in your hand

with that tear in your hand
tear in

Tori Amos, Tear In Your Hand

[Yosemite Joy]

BYOB[ombs] by SOAD

Why do they always send the poor?
Barbarisms by Barbara
With pointed heels
Victorious victories kneel
For brand new spanking deals
Marching forward hypocritic
and hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
stealing our intentions

Hangars sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Blast off, it's party time
And we don’t live in a fascist nation
Blast off, it's party time
And where the **** are you?
Where the **** are you?
Where the **** are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing
into Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
stealing our intentions

Hangars sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine
Everybody is going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sun

Where the **** are you?
Where the **** are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poor

*Frosting A Cake* Blind Melon
Green peas, torn jeans
I return(?) about everything
Oh well, the smell
I know, I'll go down in flames

Help me (4x)

Cornbread, corn fed
How in the world could one walk away from that?
I know, I'll go in back and try to forget

Help me (4x)

Putting the Damage On (Tori Amos)

glue

stuck to my shoes
does anyone know why you play with an orange rind

you say you packed my things
and divided what was mine
you're off to the mountain top
i say her skinny legs could use sun

but now i'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best angie dickinson
but now i've got to worry
cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

don't make me scratch on you door
i never left you
for a banjo
i only just turned around for a poodle
and a corvette
and my impression
of my best angie dickinson

but now i've got to worry
'cause boy you still look pretty
when you're putting the damage on

i'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost
passing through
i said
i'm trying not to move
it's just your ghost passing through
it's just your ghost
passing through

and now
i'm quite sure

there's a light in your platoon
i never seen a light move
like yours
can do to me
so now i'm wishing
for my best impression
of my best angie dickinson
but now i've got to worry
'cause boy you still look pretty
to me
but i've got a place to go
i've got a ticket to your late show
and i'm worrying cause even still
you sure are pretty
when you're putting the damage on
yes
when you're putting the damage on
you're just so pretty
when you're putting the damage on

[BichonLover]

A new day, oh..oh..
A new day, oh..oh..
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don’t shed a tear

Through the darkness and good times
I knew I’d make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you

Hush, now

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it’s almost blinding me
I can’t believe
I’ve been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun

A new day has... come

Oh...

Where it was dark now there’s light
Where there was pain now there’s joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy

Hush, now

I see a light in the sky
Oh, it’s almost blinding me
I can’t believe
I’ve been touched by an angel with love

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun

A new day has...

Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new sun

A new day has... come

Ohhh

Hush, now

I see a light in your eyes
All in the eyes of the boy

I can’t believe
I’ve been touched by an angel with love

I can’t believe
I’ve been touched by an angel with love

Hush, now
(ahh..ahh...
A new day...
Ahh..ahh..)
Hush, now
(ahh..ahh..
A new day...)

1, 2, 3, 4!
Look around this dirty town
Drink it up till we fall down
Don’t want to live forever this way
But it’s gonna have to do for today

Oh, I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be

Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, don’t want to be shown
Go out and learn your own

Oh, I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be

1, 2, 3, 4!

Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, don’t want to be shown
Go out and learn your own

Oh, I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be

I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be
I’m addicted - as I want to be

Subdivisions

by Rush (lyrics by Neil Peart)

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions ---
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions ---
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights...

[oakhurstleaf]

With N'Awlins in our thoughts...

"City Beneath the Sea" Harry Connick Jr.

Take me... Take me
To the city beneath the sea
The river will wrap around me
And the music will let me be
You can find me on the neutral ground
On the corner of Fleur-de-lis
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
Take me... Take me
Where the night outshines the day
You can hear the tap of soda caps
And smell the etoufee'
You can fais do do with Jacamo
Or fi na ne 'till three
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea
How... How long
Can I stay away
How... How long
Can I stay away
Take me... Take me
To the Meters and the Mardi Gras
They betcha where you got your shoes
And they eat their oysters raw
Pork Chops dances all night long
But he won't dance for free
Please... somebody won't you take me
To the city beneath the sea

<span class="ev_code_PINK">Superhero (Ani)

sleep walking through the all-nite drug store
baptized in fluorescent light
i found religion in the greeting card aisle
now i know hallmark was right
and every pop song on the radio
is suddenly speaking to me
art may imitate life
but life imitates t.v.
'cuz you've been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and let's just say that things look different now
different in so many ways

i used to be a superhero
no one could touch me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everbody else

if i was dressed in my best defenses
would you agree to meet me for coffee
if i did my tricks with smoke and mirrors
would you still know which one was me
if i was naked and screaming
on your front lawn
would you turn on the light and come down
screaming, there's the asshole
who did this to me
stripped me of my power
stripped me down

i used to be a superhero
no one could hurt me
not even myself
you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stubmled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else

yeah you've been gone exactly two weeks
two weeks and three days
and now i'm a different person
different in so many ways
tell me what did you like about me
and don't say my strength and daring
'cuz now i think i'm at your mercy
and it's my first time for this kind of thing

i used to be a superhero
i would swoop down and save me
from myself
but you are like a phone booth
that i somehow stumbled into
and now look at me
i am just like everybody else

[electroman]

from an all time favorite http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/smoking.gif

...
Almost everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me
To rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the skies...

YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG
AC/DC

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman I had ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knockin' me out with those American thighs
Taking more than her share
Had me fighting for air
She told me to come but I was already there

'Cause the walls start shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were makin it and you -

CHORUS:
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me all night long

Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause
Just another cause
Made a meal out of me and come back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

'Cause the walls were shaking
The earth was quaking
My mind was aching
And we were makin it and you -

CHORUS

And knocked me out and then you
Shook me all night long
You had me shakin' and you
Shook me all night long
Yeah you shook me
Well you took me

You really took me and you
Shook me all night long
Ooooh you
Shook me all night long
Yeah, yeah, you
Shook me all night long

Your really took me and you
Yeah you shook me, yeah you shook me
All night long

[Average Joe]

I use to know a girl. . .
She had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo
We'd drink that Mexican beer
We'd live on Mexican food
Yes, I wish I could go back
Yes, back in time

Esther used to be
The kind of girl that you would ever leave
She'd do anything
To give me what I neeed for my disease
I can hear them talking in the real world
But they don't understand
I'm happy in hell
With my Heroin girl


I am losing myself in a white-trash hell
Lost inside a Heroin girl


They found her out in the fields
About a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun
But her body was cold
I head a policeman say
Just another overdose. . .just another overdose!

[Dodgergirl]

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy [x3]

My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover

Have a hangover [x3]

Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
My day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Maybe just happy

Think I'm just happy [x3]

I think I'm dumb [x12]

Dumb Lyrics

[Californee Girl]

Summertime and the livins easy
Bradleys on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance hall will agree
that we are well qualified to represent the LBC
Me and louie we gon' run to the party and
dance to the rhythm it gets harder...

Me and my girl we got this relationship
I love her so bad but she treats me like sh...
Im locked down like a penitentiary
She spreads her lovin' all over
and when she gets home theres none left for me

Summertime and the livins easy
Bradleys on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance hall will agree
that we are well qualified to represent the LBC
Me and louie we gon' run to the party and
dance to the rhythm it gets harder...

Oh take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will someday rise
So what am I gonna be doin' for a while
Said Im gonna play with myself
Show them how we come off the shelf

Summertime and the livins easy
Bradleys on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance hall will agree
that we are well qualified to represent the LBC
Me and louie we gon' run to the party and
dance to the rhythm it gets harder...

Evil, Ive come to tell you that shes evil
Most definately
Evil, ornery, scandalous and evil
Most definately
The tension
is getting hotter
Id like to hold her
head underwater

Take a trip take a trip take a tt tt with me
Bradleys on the microphone with Ras MG
All the people in the dance hall will agree
that we are well qualified to represent the LBC
Me and louie we gon' run to the party and
dance to the rhythm it gets harder...

Louie Louie, me gotta go.
Louie Louie, me gotta go.
A fine little girl, she wait for me. Me catch the ship across the sea. I sailed the ship all alone. I never think I'll make it home.
Louie Louie, me gotta go. Three nights and days we sailed the sea. Me think of girl constantly. On the ship, I dream she there. I smell the rose in her hair.
Louie Louie, me gotta go. Me see Jamaican moon above. It won't be long me see me love. Me take her in my arms and then I tell her I never leave again. Louie Louie, me gotta go.

By Richard Berry

[John @ 3300ft.]

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear

When she's lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
We don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love

The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

When I get lonely, and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, comin' in from above
Don't need no radio at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We’ve got a line in the sky, radar love

No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow

And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar lover's gone

When I'm feeling lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends the comfort coming in from above
Don't need no radio at all
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a line in the sky
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a thing that's called radar love

~Golden Earring~

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again.

Do you, don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter.

Will you, won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out! helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter

Look out, cause here she comes.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
And I get to the bottom and I see you again

Well do you, don't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer.

Look out! helter skelter helter skelter
Helter skelter
Look out helter skelter
She's coming down fast
Yes she is
Yes she is.

millennium theatre

get out there and buy that water and gas
running on an orange alert
everybody put on your gas mask

first leak it out about the president
then stand up and shout "impeachment"
pulling coat tails out from under that little V.P.
before he has a chance to get in the driver's seat

millennium spectacle
everybody put on a show
slip a little prince in the back door
21st century here we go

digital whiplash
so many formats so little time
while out in TV nation
under darkening skies
the resistance is just waiting
to be organized

millenium spectacle
chief justice is for sale
yucca mountain goddesses
their tears they form a trail

trouble in Israel
patriarchy's realize
the ice caps melt
and new orleans bides her time
new orleans bides her time

ladies and gentlemen
welcome to tonight's show
the millennium theater
asked that you not smoke
please turn off your cell phones
and forget what you think you know

Subdivision, Ani DiFranco

white people are so scared of black people
they bulldoze out to the country
and put up houses on little loop-dee-loop streets
and while america gets its heart cut right out of its chest
the berlin wall still runs down main street
separating east side from west
and nothing is stirring, not even a mouse
in the boarded-up stores and the broken-down houses
so they hang colorful banners off all the street lamps
just to prove they got no manners
no mercy and no sense

and i'm wondering what it will take
for my city to rise
first we admit our mistakes
then we open our eyes
the ghosts of old buildings are haunting parking lots
in the city of good neighbors that history forgot

i remember the first time i saw someone
lying on the cold street
i thought: i can't just walk past here
this can't just be true
but i learned by example
to just keep moving my feet
it's amazing the things that we all learn to do

so we're led by denial like lambs to the slaughter
serving empires of style and carbonated sugar water
and the old farm road's a four-lane that leads to the mall
and our dreams are all guillotines waiting to fall

i'm wondering what it will take
for my country to rise
first we admit our mistakes
and then we open our eyes
or nature succumbs to one last dumb decision
and america the beautiful
is just one big subdivision

[TOT]

Out of Range (yes, again)

just the thought
of our bed
makes me crumble like the plaster
where you punched the wall beside my head
and i try
to draw the line
but it ends up running down the middle of me
most of the time

boys get locked up in some prison
girls get locked up in some house
and it don't matter if it's a warden
or a lover
or a spouse
you just can't talk to 'em
you just can't reason
you just can't leave
and you just can't please 'em

i was locked
into being my mother's daughter
i was just eating bread and water
thinking
nothing ever changes
and i was shocked
to see the mistakes of each generation
will just fade like a radio station
if you drive out of range

<span class="ev_code_RED">if you're not angry
you're just stupid
or you don't care
how else can you react
when you know
something's so unfair
the men of the hour
can kill half the world in war
make them slaves to a super power
and let them die poor </span>

i was locked
into being my mother's daughter
i was just eating bread and water
thinking
nothing ever changes
and i was shocked
to see the mistakes of each generation
will just fade like a radio station
if you drive out of range

just the thought
of our bed
makes me crumble like the plaster
where you punched the wall beside my head
and i try
to draw the line
but it ends up running down the middle of me
most of the time

baby i love you
that's why i'm leaving
there's no talking to you
and there's no pleasing you
and i care enough
that i'm mad
that half the world don't even know
what they could have had

i was locked
into being my mother's daughter
i was just eating bread and water
thinking
nothing ever changes
and i was shocked
to see the mistakes of each generation
will just fade like a radio station
if you drive out of range

[simplicity]

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart
(Yeah)
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)

Girl, you know you got me, got me
With your pistol shot me, shot me
And I'm here helplessly
In love and nothing can stop me
You can't stop me cause once I start it
Can't return me cause once you bought it
I'm coming baby, don’t got it (don’t make me wait)
So let’s be about it

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

Baby, have some trustin', trustin'
When I come in lustin', lustin'
Cause I bring you that comfort
I ain’t only here cause I want ya body
I want your mind too
Interestin’s what I find you
And I'm interested in the long haul
Come on girl (yee-haw)

(come on)

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)
I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby)

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

Girl, you had me, once you kissed me
My love for you is not iffy
I always want you with me
I'll play Bobby and you’ll play Whitney
If you smoke, I'll smoke too
That’s how much I'm in love with you
Crazy is what crazy do
Crazy in love, I'm a crazy fool

No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart

Why are you so insecure
When you got passion and love her
You always claimin’ I'm a cheater
Think I'd up and go leave ya
For another señorita
You forgot that I need ya
You must’ve caught amnesia
That’s why you don’t believe

(uh, yeah, check it out)

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby

Baby girl, you make me feel
You know you make me feel so real
I love you more than sex appeal
(Cause you’re)
That-tha, that tha, that-tha, that girl [5x]

[overlapping]
No, no, no, no, don’t phunk with my heart [2x]
That-tha, that tha, that-tha, that girl [2x]

I wonder if I take you home
Would you still be in love, baby (in love, baby) [4x]

Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby
Don’t you worry ‘bout a thing, baby
Cause you know you got me by a string, baby

just rolling about on the floor

I always used to wake up sore.

SOAD 'Temper'

We want peace without
Patriot missiles,
Blown to bits are civilian targets,
Parade! Laugh! Rejoice! Sing!

We are the victors of...nothing,
Spend more money on a war,
Your people starving, turned to ******,
Slaves of the chosen one paying millions for each bomb,

Country without a race ,
Formed from people you disgrace ,
White right conservative might ,
Killers of Kennedy's with no fright ,
The American way!

Freedom cried the marching man,
Flags ripped out of their black hands ,
Beaten! Slain! Tortured! Killed!
Their only mistake was being born here ,
Invade countries just for oil ,
Send your troops all down to boil ,
Iraq! Grenada! Nam and Chile!
Truman doctrine our own way ,

Country without a race ,
Formed from people you disgrace ,
White right conservative might ,
Killers of Kennedy's with no fright ,
The American way!

The Government here can suck my balls ,
Policing the world in overalls ,
Armed rebellion minority ,
Disrespected race, colored mind ,
Crazed loonies all walk the streets ,
Missing children on milk cartons ,
Mother selling child for crack ,
Mr. President check your back ,

Country without a race ,
Formed from people you disgrace,
White right conservative might ,
Killers of Kennedy's with no fright ,
The American way!
The American way!
The American way!

where all your money is earned
where all your buildings are crying
And clueless neckties working

revolving fake lawn houses
housing all your fears
desensitized by TV

Mirrors filtering information through the public eye

Designed for profit sharing
your neighbor what a guy

You kill the God

coupled with condemnations

puppeting your frustrations with a blinded flag

Hello darkness my old friend
Ive 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 dare
Disturb the sound of silence

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

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence

[electroman]

That was a good one, a little before your time though, CG.
From that same album I liked 'The Boxer' and 'Cecilia'.

Cruel be the wind as it quells my words

Incantations I've so hope you've heard
That you live again
From deep earth brings forth rebirth
Witness but I shant believe
From below a chilling glow on all

Be spiderwebbed and glazed in frost
She wears death beautifully
More stunning now than in her life
On a bed of autumn leaves
Into her eyes and quite surprised
I whispered don't you leave
Sing macabre songs and we'll dance til dawn on all

***Creepy Green Light***

This halloween
So unlike any other
Her final words
Don't be afraid
Of the green light
Of the green light
Green light

Baby

On muddy ground
I'm lying drunk on her grave
Where I must wait
Until she wakes
The soil splits
Greenwood's ground will quake beneath me
And so shall take into the earth
To the green light
To the green light

Baby

The autumn air
Thickly fills my lungs so sweetly
Reminds me of her smoky breath
With wine and this bouquet of maple and oak leaves
In death or life we'll always be

I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
Ah

This moonlit night
Late october's swirling fog gloom
And as promised my love did rise
From the green light
From the green light
Green light

I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain
I find myself drawn to her shadow domain

Quiet
Quiet
Quiet

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
Put ’em in a tree museum
And they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see ’em
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Hey farmer farmer
Put away that d.d.t. now
Give me spots on my apples
But leave me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got
Till it’s gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

"Big Yellow Taxi" - Joni Mitchell

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">*the slant, ani difranco*

the slant
a building settling around me
my figure female framed crookedly
in the threshold
of the room
door scraping floorboards
with every opening
carving a rough history
of bedroom scenes
the plot hard to follow
the text obscured
in the folds of sheets
slowly gathering the stains
of seasons spent lying there
red and brown
like leaves fallen
the colors of an eternal cycle
fading with the
wash cycle
and the rinse cycle
again an unfamiliar smell
like my name misspelled
or misspoken
a cycle broken
the sound of them strong
stalking
talking about their prey
like the way hammer meets nail
pounding, they say
pounding out the rhythms of attraction
like a woman was a drum like a body was a weapon
like there was something more they wanted
than the journey
like it was owed to them
steel toed they walk
and i'm wondering why this fear of men
maybe it's because i'm hungry
and like a baby i'm dependent on them
to feed me
i am a work in progress
dressed in the fabric of a world unfolding
offering me intricate patterns of questions
rhythms that never come clean
and strengths that you still haven't seen

It's The End Of The World As We Know It
R.E.M.


That's great, it starts with an earthquake.
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn.
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, no,
Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height.
Fire in a wire, representing seven games.
A government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry,
With the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then.
Uh oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do.
Save yourself, serve yourself, world serves its own needs.
Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture.
And the revered and the right, right.
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight,
Bright light, feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it
But I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour, don't get caught in foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh oh, this means no fear cavalier.
Renegade steer clear! A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
I feel fine.
I feel fine.

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide.
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein.
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
I feel fine.

It's time, I spent some time alone.
It's time, I spent some time alone.
It's time, I spent some time alone.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it
I feel fine.

bgirls - last time i saw my cousin we were singing that at the top of our lungs as i dropped him off http://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif thanks for posting that, i almost forgot how fun that was.

and for the thread ~

<span class="ev_code_GREY">it's rock paper scissors as to whether
i will get over you at all
it's hand against hand
and both hands are mine
it's standing in a circular line
which is not to say that i'm not also happy
a happy meal with a surprise inside
surprise surprise here's another bright light in your eyes
exposing all the stuff you're not calculating enough to hide

this melancholy that i carry makes me feel so grown up
at my kitchen table doing shots of resignation
i never thought i'd see the day when i would say i give up
and break the stallions of my wildest expectations

i do. not. want. to know you this way
surrounded by so much pain
but how am i supposed to let go of you this way
like a bird into the sky of my brain?

i think i could accept all these dark colors
as just part of some bigger color scheme
if it wasn't for that drippy string quartet of sadness
underscoring each smiling scene
desire drags me right out of myself
a gas-soaked rope tied to a piece of coal
and i'm getting pretty good at looking at the bright side
while the flames rip along the sand and swallow me whole</span>

Father, can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born,
And all the sorrow in the world...

Let me take you to the herding ground,
Where all good men are trampled down,
Just to settle a bet that could not be won,
Between a prideful father and his son.

Well you guard me now for I can’t see,
A reason for this suffering and this long misery.
What if every living soul could be upright and strong?
Well, then I do imagine there will be
Sorrow.
Yeah there will be
Sorrow .
And there will be
Sorrow, no more.

When all soldiers lay their weapons down,
Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crown,
Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves...
It’s easy to imagine there will be
Sorrow.
Yeah there will be
Sorrow .
And there will be
Sorrow, no more.

There will be

Yeah there will be

PF: Coming back To Life

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">Where were you
when I was burned and broken?
While the days slipped by
from my window watching?
An' where were you
when I was hurt and helpless?
..because the things you say
and the things you do surround me...
While you were hanging yourself on someone elses words
Dying to believe in what you heard..
I was staring straight
into the shining sun..

Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

I seem to recognize your face
haunting, familiar, yet I cant seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place, I wish Id seen the place
but no ones ever taken me

Hearts and thoughts they fade. Fade away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade. Fade away...

I swear I recognize your breath
memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
me, you wouldnt recall, for I'm not my former
its hard when, youre stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
perhaps thats what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...

Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked

Ill get you back some day

Cuz you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I cant hold out forever
Even walls fall down

And all around your island
Theres a barricade
It keeps out the danger
It holds in the pain

Sometimes youre happy
Sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky

But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I cant hold out forever
Even walls fall down

And some things are over
Some things go on
And part of me you carry
Part of me is gone

But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I cant hold out forever
Even walls fall down

Baby you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I cant hold out forever
Even walls fall down
They fall down (yes they do)

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Cant make the same mistake this time
We are the children
the last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We dont need another hero
We dont need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
the thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
Theres got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We dont need another hero
We dont need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Is it all or nothing

Theres a light (Over at the Frankenstein place)
Theres a light (Burning in the fireplace)
Theres a light .. light
In the darkness
of every.bodys life


The darkness must go
Down the river of nights dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life .. into my life

Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best

Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us

He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...**** you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus

C'mon, yeah

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

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

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We’ll meet again, we’ll meet again

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

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

NC - well, for me, it's cuz i don't think of it. i just copy and paste lyrics which don't usually have a title and artist on 'em. but i try to remember!

i believe 'Brew's last two are Crystal Ship (is that the name) and The End by The DOORS.

CGs is from RHPS? My last one has the title, the artist is Tori Amos.

Alcohol Lyrics
Brad Paisley


I can make anybody pretty
I can make you believe any lie
I can make you pick a fight
with somebody twice
your size. . .

Well I've been known to cause a few breakups
and I've been known to cause a few births
I can make you new friends
Or get you fired from work.

(Chorus)
And since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin the bars
Lots of big money
and helpin white people dance
I got you in trouble in high school
but college now that was a ball
you had some of the best times
you'll never remember with me
Alcohol, Alcohol

I got blamed at your wedding reception
for your best man's embarasing speech
and also for those naked pictures of you at the beach
I've influenced kings and world leaders
I helped Hemingway write like he did
and I`ll bet you a drink or two that I can make you
put that lampshade on your head . .

Cause since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin a fool out of folks
just like you
and helpin white people dance
I am medicine and I am poison
I can help you up or make you fall
you had some of the best times
you'll never remember with me
Alcohol

And since the day I left Milwaukee,
Lynchburg, Bordeaux, France
Been makin the bars
Lots of big money
(crowdhttp://oakhurstonline.com/icon/happy.gif and helpin white people dance
Well,I got you in trouble in high school
but college now that was a ball
you had some of the best times
you'll never remember with me
Alcohol, Alcohol

Artist: Eminem Lyrics
Song: The Way I Am Lyrics

Whatever
Dre just let it run
Ay yo turn the beat up a little bit
Ay yo, this song is for anyone
**** it just shut up and listen

Ay yo
I sit back with this pack of zigzags
And this bag of this weed
It gives me the **** needed to be
The most meanest emcee on this - on this earth
Cause since birth I've been cursed with this curse to just cursed
And just blurt this bezerk and bizarre **** that works
And it sells and it helps in its self
To relieve all this tension dispensing me
Sentence is getting it, stress has been eating me recently
All through this chest and I rest to get peacefully
But at least have the decency in you to leave me alone
When you freaks see me out in the streets when I'm eating or feedin' my daughter
To not come and speak to me
I don't know you and no I don't owe you a mother****** thing
I'm not Mr. NSYNC and I'm not what your friends think
I'm not Mr. Friendly
I can be a *****, if you tip me my tank is on empty
No patience is in me and if you offend me I'm lifting you ten feet
In the air, I don't care who was there and who saw me just jaw you
Go call you a lawyer file you a lawsuit
I'll smile in the courtroom and buy you a wardrobe
I'm tired of arguing - I don't mean to mean but it's all I can be
It's just me

And I am
Whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam

Cause I am
Whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

Sometimes I just feel like my father, I hate to be bothered
With all of this nonsense it's constant
And "oh it's just lyrical content!"
The song "Guilty Conscience" has gotten such rotten responses
And all of this controversy circles me
And it seems like the media immediately points a finger at me
So I point one back at 'em
But not the index or the pinky or the ring or the thumb
It's the one you put up when you don't give a ****
When you won't just put up with the bull**** they pull
Cause they full of **** too
When a dude's gettin bullied and shoots up your school
And they blame it on Marilyn - and the heroin
Where were the parents at?
And look at where it's at middle America
Now it's a tragedy
Now it's so sad to see
An upper class city having this happening
Then attack Eminem cause I rap this way
But I'm glad cause they feed me the fuel
That I need for the fire to burn and it's burnin' and I have returned

And I am
Whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam

Cause I am
Whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

I'm so sick and tired of being admired
That I wish that I would just die or get fired
And drop from my label and stop with the fables
I'm not gonna be able to top what my name is
And pigeon holdin' to some poppy sensations
They cop me rotation at Rock 'N' Roll stations
And I just do not have the patience
To deal with this cocky Caucasians
Who think I'm some wigga who just tries to be black
Cause I talk with an accent and grab on my balls
So they always keep asking the same ******* questions
What school did I go to?
What hood I grew up in?
The why? The who, what?
When and where and the how?
Till I'm grabbing my hair and I'm tearing it out
You've been driving me crazy, I can't take it
I'm racing, I'm pacing, I stand and I sit
And I'm thankful for every fan that I get
But I can't take a **** in the bathroom
Without someone standing by it
No I won't sign your autograph
You can call me an asshole
I'm glad cause

And I am
Whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam

Cause I am
Whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the papers, the news, everyday I am
I don't know it's just the way I am

i just got this stuck in my head...

(from My Fair Lady)

Just you wait 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
You'll be sorry, but your tears'll be too late!
You'll be broke and I'll have money;
Will I help you? Don't be funny!
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
Just you wait 'enry 'iggins, till you're sick,
And you screams to fetch a doctor double quick!
I'll be off a second later,
And go straight to the the-atre!
Ah-ha-ha, 'enry 'iggins,
Just you wait!
Oooooh, 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait until we're swimmin' in the sea!
Oooooh, 'enry 'iggins!
And you get a cramp a little ways from me!
When you yell you're gonna drown,
I'll get dressed and go to town!
Oh-ho-ho, 'enry 'iggins,
Oh-ho-ho, 'enry 'iggins,
Just you wait!
One day I'll be famous!
I'll be proper and prim!
Go to Saint James so often I will call it Saint Jim.
One evening the King will say,
"Oh Liza, old thing,
I want all of England your praises to sing."
KING
"Next week, on the twentieth of May,
I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!
All the people will celebrate the glory of you,
And whatever you wish and want
I gladly will do."
ELIZA
"Thanks a lot, King," says I, in a manner wellbred;
"But all I want is 'enry 'iggins 'ead!"
KING
"Done,"
ELIZA
says the King, with a stroke.
KING
"Guards, run and bring in the bloke!"
ELIZA
Then they'll march you, 'enry 'iggins, to the wall;
And the king will tell me:
KING
"Liza, sound the call."
ELIZA
As they raise their rifles higher,
I'll shout: "Ready! Aim! Fire!"
Oh-ho-ho, 'enry 'iggins,
Down you'll go! 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait!

Let 'Em Fly Lyrics
Dixie Chicks


Ain't no talkin' to this man
Ain't no pretty other side
Ain't no way to understand the stupid words of pride
It would take an acrobat and I already tried all that
I'm gonna let him fly - mmm

Things can move at such a pace
The second hand just waved good-bye
You know the light has left his face
But you can't recall just where or why
So there was reallly nothing to it
I just went and cut right through it
I said I'm gonna let him fly
Ooo yea

There's no mercy in a live wire
No rest at all in freedom
Choices we are given
It's no choice at all
The proof is in the fire
You touch before it moves away - yeah
But you must always know
how long to stay and when to go

And there ain't no talkin' to this man
He's been tryin' to tell me so
It took a while to understand
the beauty of just letting go
'Cause it would take an acrobat n'
I already tried all that

i'm gonna let him fly
I'm gonna let him fly - fly woah
I'm gonna let him fly - fly woah
I'm gonna let him fly.

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Lyrics

Green Day


Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life.

Might Just Let It Go

I know she said "It's alright, you could make it up next time"
I know she knows It's not right
There ain't no use in lyin'
Maybe she thinks I know somethin'
Maybe, Maybe she thinks it's fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired of tryin'

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me, you might just let it go
Often times were lazy, it seems to stand in my way
'Cuz no one, no, not no one likes to be let down

I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
I know that when she says she gonna try,
Well, It might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't wanna break 'em
I wouldn't wanna break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this
But until then well I'm gonna have to lie too

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times were lazy
It seems to stand in my way
'Cuz no one no not no one likes to be let down

It seems to me that maybe
it pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go

How did that blue try baby to break'a your fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me by
Everything you know 'bout me baby you gonna have to change
You gonna call it by a brand new name oo oo oo
Please please please don't track me
Please please please don't track me
Please please please don't track me down
Just like that tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don't track me
Please please please don't track me
Please please please don't track me down

Dashboard Confessional

Hands Down

Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.

My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"hey did you get some?"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear...
so we can get some.

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers
and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late
and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet
and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.

Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends Lyrics

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

Should of been, could of been
Would of been dead
If I didn't get the message
Goin' to my head
I am what I am
Most ************s
Don't give a damn
Aw baby think you can
Be my girl, I'll be your man

Someone full of fun
Do me 'till I'm well done

Aw baby please be there
Suck my kiss cut me my share

[Chorus]
Hit me you can't hurt me suck my kiss
Kiss me please pervert me stick with this
Is she talking dirty
Give to me sweet sacred bliss
Your mouth was made to suck my kiss

Look at me can't you see
All I really want to be
Is free from a world
That hurts me
I need relief
Do you want me girl
To be your theif
Aw baby just for you
I'd steal anything that you want me to

Low brow is how
Swimming in the sound
Of bow wow wow

Simon & Garfunkel: Kathys Song (Live version)


I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain drenched streets
To England where my heart lies

My minds distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when youre asleep
And kiss you when you start your day

...And as a song I was writing is left undone
I dont know why I spend my time
Writing songs I cant believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I

Cranberries: Promises

You better believe Im coming
You better believe what I say
You better hold on to your promises
Because you bet youll get what you deserve

Shes going to leave him over
Shes gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well
It does not matter anyway

Why cant you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

whoa, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I prayed, prayed, prayed
Whoa, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke

Dododo, dododo, Dododo, dododo

What of all the things that you taught me?
What of all the things that youd say?
What of all your prophetic preaching
Youre just throwing it all away!

Maybe we should burn the house down
Have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet
Cuz tearing them out is just not right

Why cant you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

whoa, all the promises we made
All the meaningless and empty words
I read, read, read
Whoa, all the promises we broke
All the meaningless and empty words
I spoke, spoke, spoke

I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do?
Take it away I never had it anyway ..
Take it away and everything will be okay

In you a star is born and
You cut a perfect form and
Someone forever warm
Lay on lay on lay on lay on
Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I cant hide
All I ever wanted was your life

Show love with no remorse and
Climb on to your seahorse and
This ride is right on course
This is the way I wanted it to be with you
This is the way that I knew that it would be with you
Lay on lay on lay on lay on
Lay on lay on lay on lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I cant hide
All I ever wanted was your life

I got dosed by you and
Closer than most to you and
What am I supposed to do?
Take it away I never had it anyway ..
Take it away and everything will be okay

Way upon the mountain where she died
All I ever wanted was your life
Deep inside the canyon I cant hide
All I ever wanted was your life

Can I get your hand to write on
Just a piece of leg to bite on
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on?
Take a look its on display .. for you
Coming down no not today

Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off with no propellor
Do it up its always stellar
What a way to finally smell her
Pick it up its not to strong .. for you
Take a piece and pass it on ...

Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
Well find a place together
Fly on my wing

Liberate a liberator
Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitator
Super friendly aviator
Take a look its on display .. for you
Coming down no not today

Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more then ever
And in this perfect weather
Well find a place together

In the water where I center my emotion
All the world will pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
Well find a place together

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa do you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa want to
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more then ever
And in this perfect weather
Well find a place together

In the water where I center my emotion
All the world will pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
Were gonna live forever
Forever

Sleepyhouse ~ Blind Melon

No time frame, for what I need to do today
Here at the yellow house. I think I’m gonna play
With free livin’ lads down the street aways away
As I feel the moon rise
The time that all feels is the right time
Here in our sleepy house
As I wipe eye bugs away, the candle flickers at me to say
And in my head I sometimes pray
Hey aren’t ya feeling fine
As I was as a little child
And I’m feeling better when I’m high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
The mistakes that I’ve made
No they don’t seem to bother me
I sure as hell don’t feel like
I missed any kind of train
If I could only show you how I feel
Then you wouldn’t bother me
And then maybe you’d see why we
Don’t mind being blind
As I was as a little child
And I’m feeling better when I’m high
With a red light shinning on a little unity
I’ll probably be in a little while

Trade winds keep on blowing
my life keeps on going
Jah's love keeps on flowing

Just yesterday I was hoping for tomorrow
and I trust and pray it would bring a brighter future
my life has been filled with ups and downs woh-woh-woh-
sometimes I never knew wich way to turn woh-woh
when the going gets rough
the tough gets going
cause I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
even though they try to push me aside
I'll never give up my pride

Don't you remember when I didn't depend on hopes and dreams
I had to push on through
trying to find the ways and means
my life has been filled with twists and turns, woh, woh
sometimes I never knew which way to turn -woh-woh
when the going gets rough
the tough gets going
cause I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
though at times my world may seem to capsize
I'll never give up my pride

Trade winds keep on blowing
my life keeps on going
Jah's love keeps on flowing
so I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
though my world may seem to sometimes to capsize
I'll never give up my pride

Although I paid my dues
they won't let me be what I wanna be
but they would like to see me succumb into society
my life has been filled with ups and downs woh-woh-
sometimes I never knew which way to turn woh-woh
When the going gets rough
the tough gets going
cause I never give up my pride
even though I'm broken up inside
I'll never give up my pride
even though my world may seem to capsize

Never Give up My Pride

I have a secret place inside my mind,
where I keep hidden inspiration you will find.
And when my petty anger goes to my head,
you'll find I'm better off dead.
Oh, and I don't hold the key,
to find out what is killing me, its,
been so long but somehow i just still care,

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo, with no place to go

Sometimes I think you hate me, hang up the phone,
but take a closer look, this hate I feel is my own.
So many times I've loved you, more than myself,
it's time to take that love and put it on the shelf.
Oh, and when I hold you tight,
it makes me want to scream and fight.
Love turned to hate,
some how it's just, how it's just,
how it's just to late.

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go

Rock the reggae music, cuz it sounds so fine, right!
When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine,
but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same,
I know something goin on and I know who's to blame.
Everytime I tell you I'm the real Romeo,
it fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow.
Cuz' something's going on and I think you should know,
so listen to my rhyme, cuz this is how it goes:

In a tight mini short in a short mini skirt,
it feels so wrong and it feels so right.
the more I think about it your a pain in the ***,
I told you many times, this time it's gonna last.
Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right,
not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night. cuz,

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go

Pull up your honey if you gotta one see,
because your down with the style, cuz your down with me. oh,
rig the selector when your on the mixer,
along with Peter Mitchell upon the echo chamber. Two, one,
no they must see but no, they can't test me.
Two, three of them come and say you can't test me.
Because me rock the reggae music in a different stylee.
Me rock the kinda reggae music right on time, because your down with the
band that they call Sublime, right?

Don't take it too slow, don't take me wrong,
me know which way to go, me, me, me all right,
me rock the reggae music day and all night.

Makes you wanna explode,
makes me wanna explode,
makes me wanna explode,
makes you wanna explode,
sometimes it makes you wanna explode.

suede
you always felt like suede
there are days i feel your twin
peekaboo
hiding underneath your skin
jets
are revving yes revving
from a central source and this
has power over me
not because you feel something
or don't feel something for me
but because
mass. is so big
it can swallow swallow her whole star intact
call me 'evil' call me 'tide is on your side'
anything that you want

anybody knows you can conjure
anything by the dark of the moon

boy
and if you keep your silence
silencer on you'll talk yourself right into a job
out of a hole
into my bayou

i'm sure that you've been briefed
my absorbtion lines
they are frayed
and i fear
my fear is greater than my faith
but i walk the missionary way
you always felt like suede
there are days i am your twin
peekaboo
hiding underneath your skin
jets
are revving yes revving from
an ether twist
call me 'evil'
call me 'tide is on your side'
anything you want

anybody knows you can conjure
anything by the dark of the moon

boy
and if you keep your silence
silencer on you'll talk yourself right into a job
out of a hole
and into my bayou
into my, my bayou
suede

oh little sister, i hope you didn't feel that way
oh little sister, i'm glad you came, and i said
oh little sister, i hoped you wouldn't feel that way
oh little sister, oh again, and i said
oh little sister, i hope you didn't feel that way
oh little sister, i'm still glad you came, i said
oh little sister, i wish you didn't feel that way, and
oh little sister, said, i'd do the same, do the same
oh little sister, i hoped you wouldn't feel that way
oh, i said, i wish
oh little sister, can you forgive me one day
can you forgive me

Witness ~ TA

Thought I had a witness
To this crime
Thought I had a witness
Thought we were on the same side
of Becoming…
Then the judges
called in a witness
C’mon…

So then when
Did you then
Begin your
Craving for
White powder
Exotic
Matter that
Cells divide
Arresting time

So in your
Furnace then
You drank my
Tenderness
Feldspar and
Mica then
You thought that
You would own
My temple
of gold

Gotta rise
In the night
Pick myself off the floor
I know now
That it’s over
Had a life
Before
You left me burnin’ in
Your petrol emotion
Your petrol emotion
Wanting more

Thought I had a witness
C’mon…
Thought we had a friendship
C’mon…
Thought I heard you
Whispering murder
Thought this witches
Brew was more than
Bullet-proof
But words are like guns
When you shoot the moon
‘Cause everybody whispers
C’mon…

Is there anyone?
Is it any wonder…
I’m out the door

Is there any way?
Is there any way forward?
Thought I had a witness
Thought you were you
Thought I was a witness
You could turn to
Not in

Thought I had a witness
To this crime
Thought I had a witness
C’mon…

When you grab a hold of me
You tell me that I'll never be set free
I'm a parasite,
creep and crawl I step into the night.
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too? Are you a badfish too?
Ain't got no money to spend
I know the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Baby your a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim but wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
Ain't got no quarrels with god Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Ain't got no quarrels with God Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef

Sublime (& Gwen Stefani): Saw Red

Girls dont go crazy...
Woman, hold your man tight...

Every day I love him just a little bit more,
A little bit more, a little bit more
Everyday I love him just a little bit more
And he loves me the same

Every day I love her just a little bit more,
A little bit more, little bit more
Everyday I love her just a little bit more
And she loves me the same

Baby if you wanna get on

Oh baby if you wanna get off

It makes no sense at all

I saw red

I saw red, I saw red, one more sacred lover that
I shot dead

Everyday I wake up just a little bit more
Feelin like a dog out on the yard
Because thats just how we are

Everyday I wonder if its over
When I wake up realizin that we hate
And brake down the war

You say its black, but I cant believe you

And if you say its white,
You say Im tryin to deceive you

And Im aware of the high and the low,
And Id be waiting for you in the middle but I just lack control

Baby if you wanna get low

Oh baby if you wanna get high

It makes no sense at all

I saw red

I saw red, I saw red, one more sacred lover that
I shot dead

Girls, dont go crazy,
Girls, dont go crazy,
Oh girls, dont go crazy when the men use you, oh

Oh, woman hold your man tight
If it makes you feel right, its your own life

nice

PJ Harvey, We'll Float

We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
And somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night

I was in need of help
Heading to black out
'Til someone told me run on in honey
Before somebody blows your god**** brains out
You shop-lifted as a child
I had a model's smile
You carried all my hopes
Until something broke inside

But now we float
Take life as it comes

So will we die of shock?
Die without a trial
Die on Good Friday
While holding each other tight
This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
We just kind of lost our way
But we were looking to be free

But one day we'll float
Take life as it comes

[TOT]

**tis of thee**

they caught the last poor man on a poor man's vacation
they cuffed him and they confiscated his stuff
and they dragged his black *** down to the station
and said "ok the streets are safe now.
all your pretty white children can come out to see spot run"
and they came out of their houses and they looked around
but they didn't see no one.

and my country tis of thee
to take swings at each other on talk show tv
why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun
'cause we'll never live long enough to
undo everything they've done to you
undo everything they've done to you

and above 96th street,
they're handing out smallpox blankets
so people don't freeze
the old dogs they got a new trick
it's called criminalize the symptoms
while you spread the disease
<span class="ev_code_BLUE">i hold on hard to something
between my teeth when i'm sleeping</span>
and i wake up and my jaw aches
and the earth is full of earthquakes

and my country tis of thee
to take shots at each other on prime time tv
why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun
'cause we'll never live long enough to
undo everything they've done to you
undo everything they've done to you

they caught the last poor man
flying away in a shiny red cape
and they brought him down to the station
and they said "boy you should know better
than to try and escape"
and i ran away with the circus
'cause there's still some honest work left for bearded ladies
but it's not the same goin' town to town
since they put everyone in jail 'cept
the cleavers and the bradys

and my country tis of thee
to take swings at each other on talk show tv
why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun
'cause we'll never live long enough to
undo everything they've done to you
undo everything they've done to you

The Haunting - Misfits

The darkness bleeds violent sights
It purges from within
Death, it holds you in it's arms
And kisses you goodnight

Oh, oh, oh, the darkness comes
Oh, oh, oh, I feel it's bite
Oh, it purges from within

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists, and watch me bleed
Inside a dream

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists and watch me bleed
They stop haunting me

The darkness bleeds violent sights
It purges from within
Death, it holds you in it's arms
And kisses you goodnight

Oh, oh, oh, the darkness comes
Oh, oh, oh, I feel it's bite
Oh, it purges from within

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists, and watch me bleed
Inside a dream

It's over, it's over
This haunting, it's over
They cut my wrists and watch me bleed
They stop haunting me
