[tonguegina]

Here's a thought for everyman,
Who tries to understand what is in his hand.
He walks along the open road of love and life,
Surviving if he can.

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say,
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay,
Bound with all the weight of the words he tried to say,
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow.

As they took his soul they stole his pride.

As he faced the sun he cast no shadow.

Oasis - 'Cast No Shadow'

[StabMaster Arson]

The first one was from ICP, if you look around enough, you'll find Orgazmo using parts of this.
The second I know through Metallica, but I think it's a cover they do.
On with my business here...

I used to know this woman who had the most beautiful
tattoos on the top sides of both of her hands
She was forty-three years old and as far as I know
had never yet been with a man
It's not that she wasn't attractive;
she was beautiful, but it was the way that she interacted
She was aggresively passive to the point where she
would've intimidated any man that ever tried to catch it
on the right hand she had a tattoo of a nude girl
she claimed it is what God resembled
but on the left she had a mirrored image of the same female
and this one she explained looked like the devil
I remember once watching her touch her own breasts
how the tattoos smiled as they stared down her stomach
as if anticipating when they'd be allowed to caress
the sweet flower that they both seemed too covet
Now maybe I was high but it felt so right
heaven and hell both take to this woman's womb
It didn't make sense how she could commence
touching herself with me wide awake in the same room
but if I've learned anything in my years
I learned I no longer believe in surprise
but what happened next damn near stold my tears
the tattoos came alive right in front of my eyes
they both slowly stood up and climbed off her hands
and showed me why she never took some time with a man
they climbed deep inside of this woman's garden
she closed her eyes and she gently bit her bottom lip
I stepped I left and I don't regret leaving
and I'll never forget all the things I saw that evening
a glimpse of religion a piece of coming closer
to understanding more about what intrigues me most
I didn't get turned on I just got turned
I wasn't as aroused as I was concerned
for each one of em I've hurt
for every time that I've been burned
so now I keep my eyes open hoping to take in all I can
about women taking all that she can
And for as long as I breathe I'll save receipt in my memory
for that woman with the tattooed hands

There's good and evil in each individual fire
Identifies needs and feeds our desire
As long as we keep our spirit inspired
She can bite her bottom lip all she wants

[Dr. Seuss]

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very
Mad World
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Tears For Fears - Mad World

[silver and cold]

waking up and it seems like forever
I thought we were in this together
so lie to me again
and say the words that I need to hear
to keep your own conscience clear

you never give me anything to go on
so please let go of this string that I'm on
cause my face is numb from hitting the ground
this dirt is so hard to breathe
is that all you think of me

I swear I'd kick in your chest if I could
climb through it
into your heart
where I know I should be forever
but you don't seem to care

so I'll stick this gun up to my face
and make a bet on my life
that's how little faith I have in you and me
another day spinning down the drain
and you left the taste of your indifference
once again it says this flesh is a waste
burn it to the ground

waking up everyday so alone
I thought you'd be here
but I guess I thought wrong

Whatever, Goodnight- Agent Felix

[Combat Chuck]

Standing in the dark outside the house.
Breathing in the cold and sterile air.
Well I was thinking how it must feel
to see that little light
and watch it as it disappears
and fades into
fades into the night.

So I know you're going pretty soon.
Radiation sore throat got your tongue.
Magic markers tatoo you
and show it where to aim.
And strangers break their promises.
You won't feel any
You won't feel any
pain.

And the streets are jammed with cars
honkin their horns to race
to the wire
of the unfinished line.

Thought that I'd forget all about the past.
But it doesn't let me run too fast.
And I just wanna stand outside
and know that this is right.
That this is true
and I will not
fade into
fade into the night.

Standing here in the dark.

Eels - Dead of Winter

[Saint DH]

My name is Angus the Highway Man,
Tryin to make a livin, anyway, I can
Hide your gold and silver, before I get to you
Hide your wives' and daughters' I'll, take em too

[StabMaster Arson]

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

[Constance]

Honestly, if I'm feeling down(like right now.)
-Nada surf-80 windows-
Clusters of people talking secretly to each other.
In a bar you cannot talk openly to anyone you don't already know.
4 year olds, they have got the right idea: they jump the line and hit it on the nose.

When we sit and we get quiet, then we look and see who's home across the way.
There are 80 windows we can see,
It's christmastime and they all have the same tree. You tell me the patterns you already see,
I wonder if they see us in our bed.

You said you like the one with the father who always eats with his son.
I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm.
I feel far away from you. So what else is new?
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone.

When we sit and we get quiet, then we look and see who's home across the way.
You said you like the one with the father who always eats with his son.
I like the rows of lights because they keep me calm.

I feel far away from you. So what else is new?
The moon is closer to the sun than I am to anyone.

This is my favorite song by The Postal Service Formerly Death cab for cutie, TPS consists of 2 of the former bandmembers, and occasionally the lead singer of Rilo Kiley does voices in the songs, such as this one.

The postal service- nothing better
Will someone please call a surgeon who can crack my ribs
and repair this broken heart that you're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over: I will block the door
like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter
of a tied-game of rivalry

So just say how to make it right
and I swear I'll do my best to comply

Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
then making you my bride and slowly growing old together

I feel I must interject here, you're getting carried away,
feeling sorry for youself with these revisions and gaps in history.
So let me help you remember. I've made charts
and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why I have to leave

So please back away and let me go
I can't my darling I love you so. oh ohhhh

Tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures

I admit that I have made mistakes
and I swear I'll never wrong you again
you've got a lure I can't deny,
but you've had your chance so say goodbye,
say goodbye

[silver and cold]

This thread hasn't been touched in forever, so I'm gonna try and bring it back.

Letters to God- Box car racer

Caught off guard
All worked up
The air is as dark and cold as night
Let me go
I'm not done
I swear I'll take this one lifetime and I
I won't lie
I won't sin
Maybe I don't wanna go
Can't you wait
Maybe I don't wanna go
I should've asked
I could've helped
At least a fucking 1,000 times before
Will this offer get me in
Or does it prove that they gave more and I
I won't lie
I won't sin
Maybe I don't wanna go
Can't you wait
Maybe I don't wanna go
And I
I won't lie
I won't sin
Maybe I don't wanna go
Can't you wait
Maybe i don't wanna go
And I
I won't lie
I won't sin
Maybe I don't wanna go
Can't you wait
Maybe i don't wanna go

Its a good song, buy a good band.

A Perfect Circle Pet

don't fret precious I'm here
step away from the window
go back to sleep

lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come

counting bodies like sheep
to the rhythm of the war drums

pay no mind to the rabble
pay no mind to the rabble

head down, go to sleep
to the rhythm of the war drums

pay no mind what other voices say
they don't care about you, like I do, like I do
safe from pain and truth and choice and other poison devils,
see, they don't give a fuck about you, like i do.

just stay with me, safe and ignorant,
go back to sleep
go back to sleep

lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
count the bodies like sheep
to the rhythm of the war drums

pay no mind to the rabble
pay no mind to the rabble

head down, go to sleep to the rhythm of the war drums

I'll be the one to protect you from
your enemies and all your demons

I'll be the one to protect you from
a will to survive and a voice of reason

I'll be the one to protect you from
your enemies and your choices son
they're one in the same
I must isolate you
Isolate and save you from yourself

swayin to the rhythm of the new world order and
count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drum

the boogeymen are coming
the boogeymen are coming

keep your head down, go to sleep, to the rhythm of a war drum

stay with me
safe and ignorant
just stay with me
hold you and protect you from the other one
the evil ones
don't love you son,
go back to sleep

[Saint DH]

I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it
Spend a million a track, and went over my budget
Now how in the fuck am I supposed to get outta debt?
I can't rap anymore, I just murdered the alphabet
Drug sickness got me doin some bugged twitches
I'm withdrawn from crack so bad my blood itches
I don't rap to get the women, fuck bitches, gimmie a fat slut that cooks and does dishes
Never ran wit a clique, I'm a posse, kamikaze, strappin a motherfuckin bomb across me
From the second I was born, my momma lost me
I'm a cross between Manson, Esham, and Ozzy
I dunno why the fuck I'm here in the first place
My worst day on this Earth was my first birthday
Retarded? What did that nurse say?
Brain damage? Fuck, I was born durin an earthquake.

For all the weed that I've smoked yo this blunt's for you
For all the people I've offended, yeah fuck you too!
For all the friends I used to have, yo I miss my pass, but the rest of you assholes can kiss my ass!
For the drugs that I've done, yo I'm still gon' do
For all the people I've offended, yeah fuck you too!
For every time I reminisce, yo I miss my past, but I still don't give a fuck, yall can kiss my ass!

Aqueous Transmission-by Incubus

I'm floating down a river
Oars freed from their holes long ago
Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
I marvel at the stars
And feel my heart overflow
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Two weeks without my lover
I'm in this boat alone
Floating down a river named emotion
Will I make it back to shore
Or drift into the unknown
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
I'm building an antenna
Transmissions will be sent when I am through
Maybe we'll meet again further down the river
And share what we both discovered...
Then revel in the view
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river
Further down the river

Lights out on Division St. and all the hate that rises through the caracks in the pavement as the temperature falls (this is where it hits the ground). Lights out on Division St. I'm repeating 'goodbye' to the memories, the gever that will not break. the night is pouring down, its not enought to put this out. I'll burn up before I wake up on Division St. this is serious. it this is serious, I'll hide my heart in dark parades. lights out on Division St. I held you tight like an empty bottle but the glass broke and the poison spilled out of your mouth: hello...Hello...Is anybody there? The house turned black and sat in silence while a mockingbird sang: "lalalalalala listen to yourself go on and on as if you spoke to someone else..." if this is serious I'll hide my heart in dark parades, to dance between teh scissors' blades without getting cut. I drew an X on your city's name. lights out. black out. blow out the candle again. spin the room around. fall down. pass out. get up. I cant keep repeating. between the footsteps I hear crickets in the trees, a silent army marching with me through a swarm of bees, a needle dragged across a record, slowing down. along Division St. the lights were dying out. endless rows of houses stretched on for miles and miles and miles...turn the windows black. lights out. turn the windows black.

[ProfessorNumber]

Manmade terror
Hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths
I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue
Killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but Barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes baby they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood
Even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness
My apetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue, underwater walls
Half man, half shark
My jaws don't fall

Anyone remember this classic?

[fancymeghan]

He's got a way about him
I don't know what it is
But I know that I can't live without him
He's got a way of pleasin'
I don't know what it is
But there doesn't have to be a reason anyway
He's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when he reveals me
He's got a way of talkin'
I don't know why it is
But it lifts me up when we are walkin' anywhere

He comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
He touches me and I get turned around
He's got a way of showin'
How I make him feel
And I find the strength to keep on goin'

He's got a light around him
And everywhere he goes
A million dreams of love surround him everywhere

He comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
He touches me and I get turned around

He's got a smile that heals me
I don't know why it is
But I have to laugh when he reveals me
He's got a way about him
I don't know what it is,
But I know that I can't live without him anyway.

"This is a special moment that we'd like to take to talk to all of the kids out there..."

Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
when you grow up,
when you grow up.
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, it sucks pretty bad right now.

Hey, if you know the words, sing along.

You're gonna have to mow the lawn,
do the dishes,
make your bed.
You're gonna have to go to school until you're seventeen.

It's gonna seem about three times as long as that.

You might have to go to war,
shoot a gun,
kill a nun.
You might have to go to war when you get outta school.

Hey cheer up kids, it gets a lot worse.

You're gonna have to deal with stress,
deal with stress,
deal with stress.
You're gonna be a giant mess when you get back from the war.

Santa Claus does not exist,
and there's no Easter Bunny.
You'll find out when you grow up,
that Big Bird isn't funny.

Life's gonna suck when you grow up,
when you grow up,
when you grow up.
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, it sucks pretty bad right now.

You're gonna end up smoking crack,
on you're back,
face the fact.
You're gonna end up hooked on smack and then you're gonna die.

Because what he posted was his 'favorite lyrics'; the whole song isn't necessary. I don't see why people keep posting entire songs.

[tonguegina]

Some people, myself included, find that lyrics work best when in the context of the song itself.

[Me Gustan Nalgas]

Well, this is a pretty long one, but all the lyrics pretty much are my favorite of all time. They come from Mrs. Potter's Lullaby by the Counting Crows.

Well I woke up in mid afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
Well I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame
And though I'll never forget your face sometimes I can't remember my name

Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't cry
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I know why
But, hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
Well there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to ring
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
Oh and the ghosts of the tilt-o-whirl will linger inside of your head
Oh and the Ferris wheel junkies will spin there forever instead
When I see you, a blanket of stars covers me in my bed
Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't go, I said
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I don't know, but
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
Well all the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
Hey, I can bleed as well as anyone but I need someone to help me sleep
So I throw my hand into the air and it swims in the beams
It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle jet stream
Well I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
Aw, but I'd sure like to find out
So why don't you climb down off that movie screen
Hey, Mrs. Potter, don't turn
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I burn for you
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me
When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
And orders another
Well, I wonder what he did that for
That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door. Yeah.
We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
We stand up in the Palace, like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars
Aw, we shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
Well, you can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Aw, you can see a million miles tonight
But you can't get very far
Hey, Mrs. Potter, I won't touch and
Hey, Mrs. Potter, it's not much but
Hey, Mrs. Potter, won't you talk to me

And also one that I've loved from 50 Cent

I love you like the fat kid loves cake.

Damien Rice I Remember

<font color="green">[girl singing]
I remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
'Cause mine stopped working

I remember it well
There was wet in your hair
I was stood in the stairs
And time stopped moving

I want you here tonight
I want you here
'Cause I can't believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

I remember it well
Taxied out of a storm
To watch you perform
And my ships were sailing

I remember it well
I was stood in your line
And your mouth, your mouth, your mouth...

I want you here tonight
I want you here
'Cause I can't believe what I found
I want you here tonight
I want you here
Nothing is taking me down, down, down...

Except you my love. Except you my love...

Come all ye lost
Dive into moss
I hope that my sanity covers the cost
To remove the stain of my love
Paper mach?

Come all ye reborn
Blow off my horn
I'm driving real hard
This is love, this is porn
God will forgive me
But I, I whip myself with scorn, scorn

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december
And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you're gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
What the hell do you want?
