Eye of the Tiger

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

chorus

The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...

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

Chant Down Babylon


Come we go burn down Babylon one more time
(Come we go burn down Babylon one more time);
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon);
For them soft! Yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
Them soft! Yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)!

Men see their dreams and aspiration-a
Crumble in front of their face,
And all of their wicked intention
To destroy the human race.

And how I know - and how I know - and that's how I know:
A Reggae Music, mek we chant down Babylon;
With music, mek we chant down Babylon;
This music, mek we chant down Babylon;
This music, come we chant down Babylon.

Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon one more time);
Come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon);
For them soft! Yes, them soft! (ah-yoy!)
Them soft! Me say, Them soft! (ah-yoy!)
So come we go chant down Babylon one more time
(Come we go chant down Babylon)!

Me say, Music you're - music you're the key,
Talk to who? Please talk to me,
Bring the voice of - of the Rastaman,
Communicating to - 'cating to everyone.

How I (know) - how I know, how I (know) - how I know -
And that's how I know:
A Reggae Music, chant down - chant down - chant down
Babylon,
Chant down Babylon, chant down Babylon,
Chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music, chant down Babylon!
Reggae Music! (chant down Babylon) [fadeout]

Interesting lyrics...

note to self: check out this song when I can



And reading one of the "magic" threads here got me in the mood for this song:

Wicked Witch
by Demons & Wizards


There is a demon
And evil mind
Inside us
Oh I know, I know
We all know the rules
When water will be shed
The wicked witch is...

This is the end of all the miracles
Farewell to you yellow brick road

Everything she is asking for
It all belongs to her
Now she's gone into nothingness
There she waits

Still I can hear her singing in the room
In the room I know she's gone
I've thought "She'll never fail,
All magic will be gone
The day she'll melt away"

This is the end of all the miracles
Still I hear her singing in the dark
Truth has changed, her voice it stays the same
Farewell to you yellow brick road
Still I hear her singing in the dark
While time goes on her voice will fade away

"They are all, they're everything, they are mine
Silver shoes you're mine, you are mine,
You are mine"

Hate will live on

This is the end of all the miracles
Farewell to you yellow brick road

The wicked witch is dead...

And I wonder day to day
I don't like you anyway
I don't need your sh** today
You're pathetic in your own way

I feel for you

Better f***in go away
I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can

I don't mind if you go blind
You get what you get
Until you through with my life

I feel for you

"Immune"
~~~Godsmack~~~

(I love how this song opens!!)

You have come here from all over the world
Because society has no further use of you
This place will now become your holy bed until your death
Verygood these things, it's time we call the rules
But if you break any of my rules
You'll find out there is life after death

Patience is how I'm living today.
I lie before you stressing me outagain
My life is twisted, twisted like your own brains
I can't accept that, I can't accept that again

Face it, try it, immune to what you are
A superstition jinxing me like the black cat
Inside you, It's only what I crave
A system breakdown, can you remember your
name? did you forget you?
Did you forget your identity?

Yeah, face it.
No, try it.
Yeah, immune to what you are.

A superstition... jinxing me like the black cat inside you.
It's only what I crave.
A system breakdown...
Can you remember your name?
Did you forget you?
Did you forget your identity?

Yeah, face it.
No, try it.
Yeah, immune to what you are.

What's the matter with your own ways?
Why are you freakin' me out again?
What's the matter with your own mind?
You can't be yourself anymore when you're suckin' out my life from under me

Yeah, face it.
No, try it.
Yeah, immune to what you are."

"Yeah, face it.
No, try it.
Yeah, immune to what you are."

Face it...
Face it...
yeah, face it...
yeah, try-y-y-y-y-y...

"You Got It"
Roy Orbison

Everytime I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just can't buy
One look from you
I drift away
I pray that you
Are here to stay
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Everytime I hold you I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I'm your man
I live my life
To be with you
No one can do
The things you do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
I'm glad to give
My love to you
I know you feel
The way I do
Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all
You got it

Ariel

I search for her in the dead of night
A silhouette lit by candle light
In a whispered word she is gone
Familiar stranger without a name
In a darkened room they all look the same
Like the sands of time she slips away so far away

In the mirror you can see her face
An angel dressed in the blackest lace
A sip of wine and the game can begin
Just an image lost in fantasy
Then you touch her and you can't break free
Till you see your fate written there in her eyes
Oh Ariel,
Lost in a distant dream, take me home

From me quite a controversial one I think:

Church Of Madness
by Inkubus Sukkubus


Here come the Christian knights
Dressed in red and white
To bring the Holy Word and set the world alight
Here comes a plague of idiots blinded by their faith
Here comes the Inquisition to burn you at the stake

Here comes the Church of Madness
Bearing gifts of death and torture
Here comes the Church of Madness
Jesus Christ their Lord
The fire and the fury
To be our judge to be our jury
Here comes the Church of Madness
Jesus Christ their Lord

A new dark age descending, it’s Torquemada’s dream
Liberty lies raped, crushed, broken
Neath the Christian war machine
Nation after nation falling
In the shadow of the Christian sword
With death they bring the lore of love

Here comes the Church of Madness
Bearing gifts of death and torture
Here comes the Church of Madness
Jesus Christ their Lord
The fire and the fury
To be our judge to be our jury
Here comes the Church of Madness
Jesus Christ their Lord


What do they tell the people of their old crusades?
Of the women and the children
Impaled on Christian blades
Rejoice they say for we are saved
And we must sing the fight
Sing it till your lungs burst or they’ll set you alight

Here comes the Church of Madness
Bearing gifts of death and torture
Here comes the Church of Madness
Jesus Christ their Lord
The fire and the fury
To be our judge to be our jury
Here comes the Church of Madness
Jesus Christ their Lord

Within my stomach, scraped off my knees

Space Oddity

Ground control to major tom
Ground control to major tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to major tom
Commencing countdown, engines on
Check ignition and may gods love be with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,
Four, three, two, one, liftoff

This is ground control to major tom
Youve really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is major tom to ground control
Im stepping through the door
And Im floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do

Though Im past one hundred thousand miles
Im feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows

Ground control to major tom
Your circuits dead, theres something wrong
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you hear me, major tom?
Can you....

Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the moon
Planet earth is blue
And theres nothing I can do.


By David Bowie.

Ashes To Ashes

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

By David Bowie.

Sorry to post two in a row.. they just go well together. This used to be my favorite song way back when Countdown was on too. I love the video clip.

"(You're My) Soul And Inspiration"
The Righteous Brothers

You're my reason for laughing, for crying
For living, for dying.

Dance d'Amour - The 69 Eyes

Your lips shine like Paris
Mon amour
A toi toujours
Mon chérie
But your tears bring a little London for me
Berlin can never be so cold as you reach

Baby,won't you dance with me to the night
to the serious moonlight
Brighter than the stars above you shine
And the loving feels alright

Give me the moment that the world won't need
Ce soir
Tu es a moi
Mon chéri
But your tears ain't no strangers for me
Morning can never be so cold s you leave

Baby,won't you dance with me to the night
to the serious moonlight
Brighter than the stars above you shine
And the loving feels alright

Dance with me to the night
to the serious moonlight
Brighter than the stars above you shine
And the loving feels alright

Dance with me to the night
to the serious moonlight
Brighter than the stars above you shine
And the loving feels alright

Dance with me to the night
to the serious moonlight
Brighter than the stars above you shine
And the loving feels alright

Won't you run away...
Won't you run away...
Won't you run away...

Peter Green

In The Skies




Oh, there's a way to keep the dark from the light
and there's a way to take the cold out of the night
and when I see its glow
the sun and moon are shadowed
by the everlasting day

When I reach up my hand
to the loving son of man
the bread of life will keep my soul alive

There's a place where rivers flow in the street
where fruit and healing leaves are seen on a tree
where emerald walls shine clear
and golden streets run far and near
behind the gates where his angels names appear

solo

When I reach up my hand
to the loving son of man
the bread of life will keep my soul alive

And he will wipe away the tears from our eyes
as we watch this old world fade when it dies
and a new one shall come
and it will be heaven
and it's waiting for us there in the skies

in the skies
in the skies
in the skies
in the skies

Deep Purple - Child In Time.

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet.

...My favorite purple song.

Mine's Speed King, but definitely Child in Time is a Classic

Moistboyz-"That's What Rock and Roll Can Do"

The kids are all crazy, heads are blind and hazy
We'll get a little lazy if you do the right things
Make you wanna get tired, and everybody's alright
Dance a little tonight, the songs that we sing
Girls are gonna get high, you know that it's the right time
To let you know you're mine, you pretty little things
You know we got no class, so take a piece of my ass
Don't mind, so don't ask, it's ok with me

Wanna let you get me cherry red and sexy
Wanna let you know that it's all for you
Jumpin' and a-screamin', the timid boys are leading
Don't you know that's what rock and roll can do

No time to stall, and we're gonna give it all
Throw it down, have a ball, cause my hand is on fire
Don't be stuck at home, you'll only be alone
So feel it in your bones, we're the bandits for hire
Yeah, this is too much wasted in a mindf**k
Never say don't touch or call me a liar
Anything can happen, so keep your hands clappin'
Moistboyz are here again, we never retire

Wanna let you get me cherry red and sexy
Wanna let you know that it's all for you
Jumpin' and a-screamin', the timid boys are leading
Don't you know that's what rock and roll can do

The kids are all crazy, heads are blind and hazy
We'll get a little lazy if you do the right things
Make you wanna get tired, and everybody's alright
Dance a little tonight, the songs that we sing

Shake your fists and party, it's just gettin' started
The pleasures we've imparted when we're payin' our dues
Gettin' moist and wet, it's a blast you wanna bet
It's the best you're gonna get, so throw away your blues

Wanna let you get me cherry red and sexy
Wanna let you know that it's all for you
Jumpin' and a-screamin', the timid boys are leading
Don't you know that's what rock and roll can do

or "Lazy and Cool" by the Moistboyz, the lyrics of which are too hardcore for this forum...but it's my theme song for LIFE.

ILL NINO LYRICS

"God Save Us"

God save us!
This new life has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless to preach. I resist that!

God save us!
This new life has brought us this new knife
It's worthless and mindless to preach. I resist that!

I am what you despise
I am just a disgrace you will never embrace
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you
These words are just a speck
In what you call my life's wreck
Mistakes forsake and every word will break

This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
Don't believe in what you want for me

God save us!
El control has brought us
El color de sangre y hambre, it's our turn
We will burn!!

Liar! This life is mine
My intentions are real, this is my killing field
I will not shine
Our souls turn to rust, turn our bodies to dust
My life is just a trek
In what you call my last breath
Mistakes forsake, then every word will break

This is hard to believe, I am not what you see
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine and won't waste any time
Don't believe in what you want for me

This is hard to believe
All the pressure is breaking down on me
I will take what is mine
Don't believe in what you want for me

God save our souls, yeah

God save us!
This new life has brought us this new knife
Tu control, tu color, it's our turn, we will burn!!

I am what you despise
How can I be oppressed and then confess?
The strength will rise
Everything that I do burns against you
These words are just a speck
In what you call my life's wreck
Mistakes forsake, then every word will... BREAK!!!!

God save us!
This new life has brought us this new knife!!

Oh! You Pretty Things

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, shake up your bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
I look out my window what do I see
A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, written in awe
By a puzzled man who questioned
What we were here for
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Look at your children
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself they belong to you
They're the start of a coming race
The earth is a bi7ch
We've finished our news
Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use
All the strangers came today
And it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Oh You Pretty Things (Oh You Pretty Things)
Don't you know you're driving your
Mamas and Papas insane
Let me make it plain
You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

By David Bowie.

O Holy Night



O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
'Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine

A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
O hear the angels' voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night
O night divine

MANIC MONDAY

Six o clock already,I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
Now I can't be late 'cause then I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made
Just another manic Monday
Wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
Just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an airplane I still couldn't make it on time
Though it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train,but the bus is already there
Just another manic Monday
Wish it were Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
Just another manic Monday

Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me'

Nothing you can sing that cant be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It`s easy.

The Trees - Rush

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

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

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

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

Led Zeppelin
"The Battle of Evermore"
Album- IV (ZOSO)

Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley below,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh war is the common plight, Pick up your swords and fight.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ringwraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

Ooh, Bring it back, Bring it back...

"Would You Go With Me" by Josh Turner

If I gave you my hand would you take it
And make me the happiest man in the world
If I told you my heart couldn't beat one more minute without you, girl
Would you accompany me to the edge of the sea
Help me tie up the ends of a dream
I gotta know, would you go with me
I love you so, so would you go with me

Garnett Silk

Born Free


Oh yes Rasta!
Oh yes Rasa...

Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows,
Born free to free to follow your heart (oo yeaa)

Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star

Stay free, where no walls divide you
As free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide (no no no)

Be free, and life is worth living
Only worth living
If your, if your, free (yeaa)

Jah also make the rain drops (oo yea)
Also make the sun to shine (yea)
His tropical breeze nevers stops, (no no)
And life is so divine, so divine

Flee from misery,
Which only leads to pain
Just remember, just, just
Just remember
There's plenty more to gain!

Born free, as free as the wind blows
As free as the grass grows,
Born free to follow your heart

Yes Rasta (oo yea)

Sound And Vision

Ahhh...
Ahhh...

Doo, doo, dooohoo, doo, doo
doo, doo, doo, doo, do-do, doohoo

Don't you wonder sometimes
'Bout sound and vision

Blue, blue, electric blue
That's the colour of my room
Where I will live
Blue, blue

Pale blinds drawn all day
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Blue, blue

I will sit right down, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting into my solitude, over my head

Don't you wonder sometimes
'Bout sound and vision

By David Bowie

I love RUSH.

BTW, I love your new siggy!

Going To California





Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all
my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To California with an
aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love in her eyes
and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them tell you that
they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how tomorrow
could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

Solid As A Rock




Oh ay oh ay yay! Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh, yea ay yea ay!


They can't keep a good man down
Always keep a smile when they want me to frown
Keep the vibes and they stood my grounds
They will never ever crown
Who Jah bless I say no man curse
Things gettin beeter when they thought it would be worse
Here comes the officers askin for a search, they found no weapon just a only draw first


Cause I'm so solid as a rock they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up there traps they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks they just can't stop me now


When they come with there evilest thoughts i just listen whenever they talk
Jah is the light into my dark, he cut and tear my path
They fight without a cause tryin to make my life so hard
The king of kings and the lord of lords, give it all rewards

Cause I'm so solid as a rock they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up there traps they just can't stop me now
People will say this and that they just can't stop me now
Even when they set up road blocks they just can't stop me now

So don't you mix me up with your dirty games, your only tryin to tarnish my name
Your only lookin for the innocent to blame,
when your the ones who issue the guns down the lane
You only cause dysfunction and frame, but the right ones believe in the reign
Love is all i got I give and I'm not ashamed, lookin towards the future this lie can't tame

----Great song recommended.

ELO - Telephone Line

Hello--how are you
Have you been alright, through all those lonely nights,
That's what I'd say, I'd tell you everything,
If you'd pick up that telephone.

Hey--how you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did were all for real not a
dream,
I just can't believe
They've all faded out of view.

I look into the sky
(The love you need ain't gonna see you through.)
And I wonder why
(The little things are finally coming true.)

Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight

O.K. so no--one's answering,
Well can't you just let it ring a little longer
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night
Let it ring for evermore.

I've always loved this song. I just have to sing it when it comes on.

btw, thankies ethyl.

Did my time
Korn

Realize I can never win, sometimes feel like I have failed
inside, Where do I begin, my mind is laughing at me
Tell me why am I to blame, aren't we supposed to be the same
That's why, I will never tame this thing thats burning in me

Chorus:
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me
I feel the anger changing me

Sometimes I can never tell, if I got something after me
That's why I just beg and plead, for this curse to leave me
Tell me why am I to blame, aren't we supposed to be the same
That's why I will never tame this thing thats burning in me

Chorus:
I am the one who chose my path
I am the one who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me (it's burning in me)
I feel the anger changing me

Betrayed
I feel so enslaved
I really tried

I did my time 5X

Chorus:
I am the one who chose my path
I am the who couldn't last
I feel the life pulled from me (it's burning in me)
I feel the anger changing me

Oh god, the anger's changing me... 2X

One of my favorite songs

Flaw - What I have to do



Well it seems as though everyone's been led astray far away
from.
From what we know, still can't find a reason or
the right words to say. It'll be ok.

Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong.
It's the only trial so far, as the verdict falls down you still
break away.

Caught up in a social degradation, you can't even see the truth.

We're only half as good at personal relations, look around and
see the proof.
Only a few of us go in the right direction, even though we're
singled out.
It's the only thing that keeps
me alive, I do what I have to do.

How was I to know, force fed corporate trials each day, every
single day.
But we must grow, echoing the single most thing in the way.

Not slipping, still drifting, falling one step further from the
norm.
What is the norm? Not living, longing, trying so much
harder than before. What if I, what if I run far away?
Would I still be seen the same? Break away.

It's what I want.

"Famous Last Words" by MCR

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home

Voivod - Psychic Vacuum

Still twisting and suggesting
Some passengers
Play with my nerves
It paralyses dexterity
Inculcating anxiety
Can compromise my reason
Reach out of trance
How could I stop the entrance
Over the stress
I have to find the weakness
Involve a quest
Between my mind and myself
Head is like a burning house
What can I do for my rescue
Inverse the strike to take the lead
Then following what I believe
Ain't got the same conception
I'm now able
To push those spirits outside
My thought is free
And forever lives in me
Psychic transfer
I've stolen their unique power
Nothing can stop the evacuation
Nothing can stop the psychic vacuum

Dimension Hatross is such a great album. So is Nothingface.

In Flames- Ordinary Story

egoism dictates human relation
a world where fashion outshines morality
Here success is written in blood-red colours
designed by the thirst for power

gather the faithful and propose a toast
to the epoch of indifferance

an all to ordinary story
with aftertaste so bitter
forced to be someone I don´t want to be
I´m losing myself, sinking deeper down
I´m caught in the world wound web

a timerepresented by the void
an excuse without content
stuck in the abyss of existance
with a content void of excuse

an all to ordinary story
this is my story
with an aftertaste so bitter

sinking deeper down
I´m caught - I´m cage
I´m gone

Little Wing

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

Song: Midnight ravers



Do-do-do. Do-do-do. Do-do-do.
(You can´t tell the woman from the man)
No, I say you can´t, ´cause they´re dressed in the same pollution;
(dressed in the same pollution)
Their mind is confused with confusion
With their problems since they´ve no solution:
They become the midnight ravers.

Someone say:
(Please, don´t let me down!)
Oh, please, don´t let me - ee-ya-bab, oh, please don´t let me down!
(Midnight) Midnight ravers! (ravers) Midnight ravers!
(Please don´t) Oh, please, please,
don´t let me down, down, down, down, down!
Don´t let me down;
Don´t let me down.

I see ten thousand chariots (ah-ah-ah-ah)
And they coming without horses; (coming without horses)
The riders - they cover their face, (ah-ah-ah-ah)
So you couldn´t make them out in smoky place -
(make them out in smoky places)
In that musical stampede, where everyone is doing their thing.
Musical stampede - people swingin´;
Musical stampede. Someone say:
People, ride on! (keep a-ridin´!)
(keep a-ridin´!) Ride on!
(keep a-ridin´!) Midnight ravers!
People, ride on! (keep a-ridin´!)
(keep a-ridin´!) Ride on!
(keep a-ridin´!) Midnight ravers!

I can´t tell my woman from the man:
She is dressed in the same pollution; (dressed in the same pollution)
Her mind is confused with confusion:
To my problem seems there´s never - never no solution!

I´ve become a night-life raver
And I´m beggin´ you, (please) please, please -
oh, beel-ya-ba-ba - please don´t ya let me down!

(Night-life ravers) Night-life ravers! Night-life ravers!
Oh, please, please, please, please, don´t let me down.
Don´t let me down;
Don´t let me down!

I see ten thousand chariots (ah-ah-ah-ah)
And they coming without horses; (coming without horses)
The riders they cover their face, (ah-ah-ah-ah)
So you couldn´t make them out in smoky place -
In that musical stampede, oh!
It´s the musical stampede. Ride on!
It´s the musical stampede, some preacher say!
People ride on! (keep a-ridin´!)
(keep a-ridin´!) Ride on!
(keep a-ridin´!) Midnight ravers!
A-ride on! (keep a-ridin´!)
(keep a-ridin´!) Ride on!
(keep a-ridin´!) Midnight ravers!
Ride on, y´all! (keep a-ridin´!)
(keep a-ridin´!) Ride on!
(keep a-ridin´!) Midnight ravers!
Ride on! (keep a-ridin´!)
(keep a-ridin´!) Don´t let me down, midnight ravers!
(keep a-ridin´!)
Midnight ravers, don´t let me down! (keep a-ridin´!)
Don´t let me down - don´t let me down! (keep a-ridin´!)
Well, I´m comin´!
I got too much talkin´.

If 6 was 9

If the sun refused to shine

Pointin their plastic finger at me, ha !

So let me live my life the way I want to
Yeah, sing on brother, play on drummer

Vincent


Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils

catch the breeze and the winter chills

in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how

perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry
starry night
flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze

swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain

weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you
but still your love was true

and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.

Starry
starry night
portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes
that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the stranger that you've met

the ragged men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity

how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they're not
list'ning still
perhaps they never will.

I posted that a while back, great song about the Dutch painter

I love this song ...

"Darling Pretty" by Mark Knopfler

It’s time to come away, my darling pretty
It’s time to come away on the changing tide
Time to come away, darling pretty
And I need you darling by my side

Heal me with a smile, darling pretty
Heal me with a smile and a heart of gold
Carry me awhile, my darling pretty
Heal my aching heart and soul

Just like a castaway
Lost upon an endless sea
I saw you far away
Come to rescue me

Cast away the chains, darling pretty
Cast away the chains away behind
Take away my pain, my darling pretty
And the chains that once were yours and mine

There will come a day, darling pretty
There will come a day when hearts can fly
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and i
Love will find a way, my darling pretty
Find a heaven for you and i

Thanks for that, yes it is. I love Vincents work! It is the best IMO.



Eric Clapton



Change The World

If I can reach the stars,
Pull one down for you,
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth:


That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems.
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams.


And I can change the world,
I will be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.


And if I could be king,
Even for a day,
I'd take you as my queen;
I'd have it no other way.


And our love would rule
This kingdom we had made.
Till then I'd be a fool,
Wishing for the day...


That I can change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.


I could change the world,
I would be the sunlight in your universe.
You would think my love was really something good,
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.
Baby if I could change the world.

Type O negative - We hate everyone
Right wing commies,Leftist Nazis,Point their fingers,Rumours linger,We don't care what you think. Branded sexist. Labelled racist. Want it clearer? Check the mirror. We don't care what you think. Lies and slander in vain try to shame us. Riots, protests, violence just makes us famous. TV interviews, free publicity. Increase record sales dramatically The left they say I'm a facist. The right calling me a communist. Hate hate hate hatred for all - one and all. No matter what you believe. Don't believe in you - and that's true. Some would say that we're biased. Accusations that we are racist. Well, sh** comes in all hues. Now this means you. Cause things ain't always like they seem. Like they seem.

Left hand Solution - Thorns
Dresssed in white, Stained with blood, On her naked feet, A silent dance she dances, In the forest where the trees, Scream out in agony, As they reach for, A faded and dying sky, Stung by the poisoned thorn, She walks the world, She kisses the ground,Where the flowers turned all gray, And their scents were forever forgotten, Together with her name, Stung by the poisoned thorn, She walks the world.

Ministry - Filth Pig
"Well I started out younger at things that people start younger at, a thousand days and nights of getting overexposed, then someone asks, "How do you sleep at night?", With the borrowed dreams from a broken past. Keep runnin' away don't matter fast you'll always wind up there, Another thousand pileups in the ugly name of morality, ........ ugly, some creepy guy keeps asking "How the ...... do you sleep at night?" With a broken dream and a borrowed hope that died..You keep chasing this tail but the tail gets bigger go figure, A thousand more stories keep the fires and flames alive, So how the .... do you dream at night?, With the memories of a borrowed death, the guilty lies...Filth pig, filth pig, He sleeps with both eyes open, He sleeps all right because he's a
Filth pig."

Bauhaus - Hollow Hills
Ancient earth work fort and barrow, Discreetly hide their secret abodes, The most fearful hide deep inside, And venture not there upon yuletide, For invasion of their hollow hills, The music hold and oberon fill, Is surely recommended not, For fear of death in fear of rot, Hollow hills(x4), Baleful sounds and wild voices ignored, In luck disaster the one reward, Violated sanctity of supermens hills, So sad love lies there still, So sad, So sad, Hollow hills,Hollow hills Witches too and goblin too and speckled sills Lament repent oh mortal you, So sad, So sad

Alice in Chains - Down in a hole
Bury me softly in this womb, I give this part of me for you. Sand rains down and here I sit, holding rare flowers in a tomb.Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved. See my heart I decorate like a grave. You don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be. Look at me now I'm a man who wont let himself be. Down in a hole, feeling so small.. down in a hole.. loosing my soul... I'd like to fly... but my wings have been so denied. Down in a hole and they put all their stones in their place. I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste. I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth.. I will speak no more on my feelings beneath. Down in a hole.. feeling so small... down in a hole.. loosing my soul.. I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied. Bury me softly in this womb.. *edited this is the walmart version ya know.* sand rains down and here I sit.. holding read flowers inside a tomb.. down in a hole.. feeling so small.. down in a hole.. loosing my soul... down in a hole.. feeling so small.. down in a hole... out of control. I'd like to fly, but my wings have been so denied.

Okay I'm done..

Bold As Love

Anger, he smiles,
towering in shiny metallic purple armour.
Queen Jealousy, Envy, waits behind him,
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
Once happy Turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on.
But they're all bold as love, yeah, they're all bold as
love
Yeah, they're all bold as love

Just ask the Axis

My Red is so confident that He flashes trophies of war,
and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring,
But very unsteady for the first go round.
My Yellow in this case is not so mellow,
In fact, I'm trying to say it's frigthened like me.
And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from, eh,
Giving my life to a rainbow like you.
But, I'm eh , yeah, I'm bold as love
Yeah, yeah
Well I'm bold, bold as love (hear me talking, girl)
I'm bold as love
Just ask the Axis (he knows everything)
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah!
