[omerta]

Tool- Vicarious

Eye on the TV 'cause tragedy thrills me.

Whatever flavour it happens to be.

(like)

Killed by the husband...

Drowned by the ocean...

Shot by his own son...

She used a poison in his tea, Then kissed him goodbye.

That's my kinda story

It's no fun till someone dies.

Don't look at me like I am a monster.

Frown out your one face but with the other you

Stare like a junkie into the TV

Stare like a zombie

While the mother holds her child. Watches him die.

Hands to the sky, cryin' "why, oh why?"

Cause I need to watch things die, from a distance.

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.

You all need it too don't lie.

Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause till the blood is flowing.

Neither the brave nor bold nor brightest of stories told,

We won't give pause till the blood is flowing.

I need to watch things die, from a good safe distance.

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.

You all feel the same, so why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down. Drum on grave and ground.

Part vampire, part warrior, carnivore, and voyeur

Stare at the transmittal. Sing to the death rattle.

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie

La, la, la, la, la, la-la-lie

Credulous at best, your desire to believe in angels in the hearts of men.

Pull your head on out your hippie haze and give a listen.

Shouldn't have to say it all again.

The universe is hostile. So impersonal. Devour to survive.

So it is. So it's always been.

We all feed on tragedy. It's like Blood to a vampire.

Vicariously, I live while the whole world dies.

Much better you than I.

[Lt_Ripley]

I will be the answer at the end of the line

I will be there for you while you take the time

In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground

I will hold the balance if you cant look down

If it takes my whole life I wont break I wont bend

It'll all be worth it worth it in the end

Cause I can only tell you what I know

that I need you in my life

When the stars have all gone out

you'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning

For the night has been unkind

Take me to a place so holy

That I can wash this from my mind

The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes a whole life I wont break I wont bend

It'll all be worth it worth it in the end

Cause I can only tell you what I know

That I need you in my life

And when the stars have all burned out

You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning for the night has been unkind.

I will be the answer at the end of the line

(Captain of a Shipwreck)

I was lost until you found me

You're the reason for my today

Was tempest tossed, now I sleep soundly

Thanks to you I gladly say

That if your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're a captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame

Trust in me to share your burden

Stand by you where I belong

When life brings the day uncertain

I will soothe you with my song

And if your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're a captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame

Fear no flood in stormy weather

Fear no fire if winds arise

Flesh and blood, I'm yours forever

And forever, it never dies

And if your goldmine comes up empty

I'll be there to work the claim

If you're a captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame

If you're a captain of a shipwreck

You can find me up on the top deck

You'll be captain of a shipwreck

I'll be first mate to your shame.

(Home is a Wounded Heart--simple lyrics, but with the melody, so poignant)

Home is a wounded heart, haven`t you heard the story?

He`s out for love and for glory and she`s waitin` home by the fire.

And wasn`t it yesterday, wasn`t it me who said it?

I swore that you`d never regret it.

Now home is a wounded heart.

It`s a complicated thing, not an ordinary thing

and my heart just breaks in two

`cause I can see you standing there.

You know that I can`t bear your wounded heart.

Paint me a red balloon; give me a string and baby I`ll tie it,

give me a ring and baby I`ll buy it and bring it on home to you.

Home is a wounded heart.

[12K4e90v]

Another song by The Beatles

It's called The Word

Say the word and you'll be free

Say the word and be like me

Say the word I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love

In the beginning I misunderstood

But now I've got it, the word is good

Spread the word and you'll be free

Spread the word and be like be

Spread the work I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love

Every where I go I hear it said

In the good and bad books that I have read

Give the word a chance to say

That the word is just the way

It's the word I'm thinking of

And the only word is love

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love

Now that I know what I feel must be right

I'm here to show everybody the light

Say the word and you'll be free

Say the word and be like me

Say the word I'm thinking of

Have you heard the word is love?

It's so fine, It's sunshine

It's the word, love

Dio - "Rainbow In The Dark"

When there's lightning you know it always bring me down

'cause it's free and I see that it's me who's lost and never found

I cry out for magic I feel it dancing in the light

It was cruel lost my hold to the shadows of the night

No sign of the morning coming you've been left on your own

Like a rainbow in the dark a rainbow in the dark

Do your demons do they ever let you go

When you've tried do they hide deep inside is it someone that you know

You're just a picture you're an image caught in time

We're a lie you and I we're words without a rhyme

There's no sign of the morning coming you've been left on your own

Like a rainbow in the dark just a rainbow in the dark yeah

When there's lightning you know it always brings me down

'cause it's free and I see that it's me who's lost and never found

Feel the magic fell it floating in the air

But it's fear and you'll hear it calling you beware look out

There's no sign of the morning coming there's no sign of the day

You've been left on your own like a rainbow like a rainbow in the dark

Yeah yeah you're a rainbow in the dark just a rainbow in the dark

No sign of the morning you're a rainbow in the dark whoa oh oh

I can sing that song horribly!

[Dr. D]

What's your favourite lyric from a song. Doesn't have to be profound or something only a genius can truely understand. Just a line or two of a song you always enjoy hearing.

I have a few,

The Queen is Dead by The Smiths

So I broke into the Palace,

With a sponge and a rusty spanner,

She said, Eh I know you and cannot sing,

I said that's nothing you should hear me play piano

In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan

In the land of grey and pink where only boy-scouts stop to think,

They'll be coming back again, those nasty grumbly grimblies

Time by Pink Floyd

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way,

The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

And one which always makes me laugh,

I've Got Two Legs by Monty Python

I've got two legs from my hips to the ground,

And when I move them they walk around,

When I lift them they climb the stairs,

And when I shave them they ain't got hairs

I always liked "It Might as Well be Spring . . ." But then there's that line . . . .

"But I feel so gay in a melancholy way . . . ."

Not many men sing it these days.

Artist : FullMoon's Insignia

Song : In Love With A Dream [The Blindness]

Left alone… lost… forgotten…

Bitter tears of the dreamer that was young inspired him to paint

The more he painted the less he cried

The lightweight brush in dance with magic painter’s arm created beauty in his works

Feeling safe from cruel world that was so wrong

He tried his best to recreate its own

And after several lonely years one day he drew the gorgeous maid

That made his painful tears melt away

It seemed to him that charming girl could see his soul

She was a dream but the most believable of all

He didn’t know where did she come from but knew that she won’t go away

He fondly fell in love with a dream

So many years have passed but he still loved her…

Airily he talked to her because the girl could listen

Sweetly he dreamed and in his dreams she answered him

Time does not wait

Crawling through the years the man grew old

He did not see anyone and insensibly dropped his paints

And the cruel fate appeared

The light became so dark, and colors fade away

He was sick he was afraid

And then his eyesight was lost and darkness embraced the days

He could not survive without her face

Loneliness… Misery strengthened by helplessness…

Agony… vulnerability… despair…

Pitch-black distorted dreadful dark…

The heart is enclosed in cage of chest

It cries with the bitter tears of blood

You can never rid yourself

Of blindness that leads the heart

Sorrowful face of destiny

Looms in the scraps of broken dreams

It crooks lacerated smile

And laughs at our efforts

[donut]

i'm huge fan of bryan adams.i like thies part of the song ''back to you"

YEAH I'M COMING BACK TO YOU.

One of my all time favorites.

Red House by Jimi Hendrix

This is from the cover done by G3; Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Erik Johnson

There's a red house over yonder

That's where my baby stays

Yeah, there's a red house over yonder

And that's where my baby stays

I ain't been home to see her

In ninety nine and one half days

Wait a minute, something's wrong

This key won't unlock this door

Wait a minute, something's wrong, baby

God, this key won't unlock this door

I've got a bad bad feeling

That my baby don't live here no more

I'm going to go back over yonder

Way down across the hill

I'm going to go back over yonder

Way down across that hill

If my baby don't love me no more

Well I know her sister will

Mr. Bad Example. Any Zevon lyrycs though. Poor Poor Pitiful me, Exitable Boy, Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner, Carmelita... All awesome man!!!!

Mr. Bad Example

Written By Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderon

c. 1991, Zevon Music,

administered by Warner-Tamerlane Publishing corp./Googolplex Music BMI

I started as an altar boy, working at the church

Learning all my holy moves, doing some research

Which led me to a cash box, labeled "Children's Fund"

I'd leave the change, and tuck the bills inside my cummerbund

I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store

Laying tackless stripping, and housewives by the score

I loaded up their furniture, and took it to Spokane

And auctioned off every last naugahyde divan

I'm very well aquainted with the seven deadly sins

I keep a busy schedule trying to fit them in

I'm proud to be a glutton, and I don't have time for sloth

I'm greedy, and I'm angry, and I don't care who I cross

I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt

I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt

I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me

I'll live to be a hundred, and go down in infamy

Of course I went to law school and took a law degree

And counseled all my clients to plead insanity

Then worked in hair replacement, swindling the bald

Where very few are chosen, and fewer still are called

Then on to Monte Carlo to play chemin de fer

I threw away the fortune I made transplanting hair

I put my last few francs down on a prostitute

Who took me up to her room to perform the flag salute

Whereupon I stole her passport and her wig

And headed for the airport and the midnight flight, you dig?

And fourteen hours later I was down in Adelaide

Looking through the want ads sipping Fosters in the shade

I opened up an agency somewhere down the line

To hire aboriginals to work the opal mines

But I attached their wages and took a whopping cut

And whisked away their workman's comp and pauperized the lot

I'm Mr. Bad Example, intruder in the dirt

I like to have a good time, and I don't care who gets hurt

I'm Mr. Bad Example, take a look at me

I'll live to be a hundred and go down in infamy

I bought a first class ticket on Malaysian Air

And landed in Sri Lanka none the worse for wear

I'm thinking of retiring from all my dirty deals

I'll see you in the next life, wake me up for meals

[Lord*Kur]

Manford MAnd.."Blinded By The Light"

great lyrics, nonetheless

[Dying Seraph]

Artist:VNV Nation (VNV=Victory Not Vengeance)

Song: Standing

Eyes betray the soul and bear it's thinking.

Beyond words they say so many things to me.

A stranger here reborn it seems

awaking wonders deep in me.

If nothing's ventured nothing's gained

so I must seize the day.

And fighting time so hard I pray

that this moment lasts forever.

And will the world stay standing still at least for me.

Through my eyes stare into me.

I bear my heart for all to see.

With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.

It wasn't you it wasn't me it wasn't anyone.

It was a day so long awaited and a chance to be as me.

I let the wind run through my hands

before I turned to walk away.

In distant days I long to sense it all so clear.

And fighting time so hard I pray

that this moment lasts forever.

And will the world stay standing still at least for me.

Through my eyes stare into me.

I bear my heart for all to see.

With my face turned to the sun there ever standing still.

And fighting time so much I ask.

I will this morning last forever.

Though seasons change and things come to pass

remain inside of me.

And fighting time so hard I pray

that this moment lasts forever.

and will the world stay standing still at least for me.

I had no faith before that day in any vow or deed.

Days followed days and years were meaningless.

Despite the wisdom of defeat

I bore my heart for all to see the wonders I'd seen.

~I Love A Rainy Night~ Eddie Rabbit

Watch the lightning

I wake up to a sunny day

Suidakra - "A Blackened Shield"

[A Druids Vision:]

I see a hammer smashed upon

A burning shield...

Nightfall came to join me

And with it a nameless fear

I ran away through woods of stone

I never felt so alone

Always looking behind

A fear undefined

But I was feeling strong as I see

It's slowly coming into sight

I prepared to fight

With giant leaps it came upon me

To chain my body

To blaze a trail

Through my valour

To take my gods and my freedom away

When eve was fallin' I was almost crawlin' - my fate was sealed

Desperately I was fighting and untiringly I stroke back

I stood my ground with a blackened shield

Nothing would beat me

Nothing would withstand my grim attack

With my beckoning spear - And a blackened shield

Death is all around me

But at least I am free

Chain my body

And blaze a trail

Through my valour

You won't take my freedom away

Then in the distance o' times to come

I saw a mon on the Highland shore

Gaitherin' troops, beatin' drums

Fer freedom to come

[Dying Seraph]

Artist:The Airborne Toxic Event

Song: Sometime Around Midnight

And it starts...

sometime around midnight

or at least that's when

you lose yourself

for a minute or two

As you stand...

under the barlights

and the band plays some song

about forgetting yourself for a while

and the piano's this melancholy soundcheck

to her smile

And that white dress she's wearing

you haven't seen her

for a while

But you know...

that she's watching

She's laughing, she's turning

she's holding her tonic like a crux

The room suddenly spinning

she walks up and asks how you are

so you can smell her perfume

you can see her lying naked in your arms

And so there's a change...

in your emotions

and all of these memories come rushing

like feral waves to your mind

of the curl of your bodies

like two perfect circles entwined

and you feel hopeless, and homeless

and lost in the haze

of the wine

And she leaves...

with someone you don't know

but she makes sure you saw her

she looks right at you and bolts

As she walks out the door

your blood boiling

your stomach in ropes

and when your friends say what is it

you look like you've seen a ghost

And you walk...

under the streetlights

and you're too drunk to notice

that everyone is staring at you

so who cares care what you look like

the world is falling

around you

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You just have to see her

You know that she'll break you in two

You won't find me, knockin' at your door.

I've known forever, you don't love me no more.

If you don't want to lay there, with your mouth shut tight,

I'm gettin' myself together, yes, I'm leavin' tonight

You ain't gonna' find nobody, to treat you like I do.

I been down on my knees, you treat me like a fool.

Now, I know what you're tryin' to do, awww, it ain't gonna' happen.

Ancient Rites - "Mother Europe"

Oh remember the proud Hellenic civilisation

The cradle of Europe where it all began

Or the Portuguese and Spanish Armada

Overwhelming Thy power, a tribute to the south

Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent forever in my heart

Representing medieval Flemish pride

Brave Teutonic, French and English knights

Thy shining armour now long vanished

Thy glory, however, forever remains

Praised be the Scandinavian hordes

Once the nightmare of the Christian world

I talk of not of mercy

I talk not of fear

The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom

Children of Italia

In ancient times "Roma Caput Mundi"

De Verenigde Nederlanden, parel van het noorden

Belgium and The Netherlands stood as one

Mother Europe born from your womb

Mother Europe on Your soil shall be my tomb

I talk of not of mercy

I talk not of fear

The hopeless warriors of a Willing Doom

Oh what that gallant spirit shall resume

Leap from Europe's bank and call Thee from the tomb

(Hail to the sons of eastern Europe

the Slavonian soul never fades)

Blessed are Scotland, Ireland and Bretagne

Where the Celtic dream still lives on

Shall be my tomb!

Artist:VNV Nation

Song:Tempest

These are not words, they're only feelings

There are no sounds that you can hear

There is no form that you can touch

There are no colors for you to see

The only sound is a distant thunder

A tempest rages so far away from me

I walked for miles and I started running

Towards the sound and storm where you might find me

Towards the sound and storm where you might find me

And I ran until I had the feeling

That the tempest I had heard surrounded me

Here my heart it's so filled with loving

Cried out and told of wonders that I feel

Cried out and told of wonders that I feel

Here my heart is so filled with loving

And I tell myself, I keep repeating

That your ways are bringing you to me

And I tell myself, I keep repeating

That your ways are bringing you to me...

Song:Dark Angel

In your dream you see me clear

I have no restraint, no fear

powerless i watched from faces i'd assumed.

my purpose set. My will defined.

Caress the air. Embrace the skies.

Escape the sorrow and restraint of mortal cities.

Give me time I will be clear. Given time you'll understand.

What posseses me to right what you have suffered.

CHORUS:I'm in this mood because of scorn. I'm in a mood for total war.

To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.

So many years I stood among

the thoughts and tears of those i served.

Among my own I was alone through my own doing.

All the years i walked unknown behind the faces I assumed.

Powerless to clear your mind of what you'd suffered.

They fall again.

They fall again.

Give me time I will be clear.

Given time you'll understand

what posseses me to right what you have suffered.

CHorus:

There is no faith in which to hide.

Even truth is filled with lies.

Doubting angels fall to walk among the living.

Chorus:

I'd only come here seeking peace.

I'd only come here seeking me.

It seems I came to leave.

Well i think that the best lyrics ever in music history has to be from Hey you by Pink Floyd.

Well i think that the best lyrics ever in music history has to be from Hey you by Pink Floyd.

Hey you, out there on your own,

Those few lyrics made me think of that old Divinyls Song.

I Touch Myself

I love myself I want you to love me

When I feel down I want you above me

I search myself I want you to find me

I forget myself I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else

When I think about you I touch myself

Ooh I don't want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no

You're the one who makes me come running

You're the sun who makes me shine

When you're around I'm always laughing

I want to make you mine

I close my eyes And see you before me

Think I would die If you were to ignore me

A fool could see Just how much I adore you

I get down on my knees I do anything for you

I don't want anybody else

When I think about you I touch myself

Ooh I don't want anybody else

Oh no, oh no, oh no

I love myslef I want you to love me

When i feel down I want you above me

I search myself I want you to find me

I forget myself I want you to remind me

I don't want anybody else

And when I think about you I touch myself

I don't want anybody else

Oh no, oh no, oh no

*spoken*

I want you

I don't want anybody else

and when i think about you I touch myself

OO OO OO-OO Ahhhhh

When i think about you I touch myself

When i think about you I touch myself

Really difficult to say only one. There are thousands of lyrics that I really like. As I have been listening to these two quite a lot these past two days, I will go with:

Well Well Well (John Lennon)

I took my loved one out to dinner

So we could get a bite to eat

And though we both had been much thinner

She looked so beautiful I could eat her

Well Well Well Oh Well

We sat and talked of revolution

just like to librals in the sun

we talked of womens liberation

and how the hell we could get thing done

Well Well Well Oh Well

I took my loved one to a big field

So we could watch the english sky

Were both feeling guilty

And neither one of us knew just why

Well Well Well Oh Well

Small Black Flowers That Grow in the Sky (Manic Street Preacher)

You have your very own number

They dress your cage in it's nature

Once you roared now you just grunt lame

Pace around pathetic pound games

Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround

To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks

Wanna get out in here you're bred dead quick

For the outside,

The small black flowers that grow in the sky

They drag sticks along your walls

Harvest your ovaries dead mothers crawl

Here comes warden, Christ, temple, elders

Environment not yours you see through it all

Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround

Carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks

Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick

For the outside,

The small black flowers that grow in the sky
