Song Lyrics

Here is a really cool one: Open Your Eyes by Staind.

As I walk along these streets
I see a man who walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
for granted like you do?

A boy just thirteen on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation theres no rioom in jail
But most of you dont give a sh*t
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
for granted like you do?

You turn away

As I walk along these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
for granted like you do?

Ok, More sensitivity here.

I still think about you, By Danger Danger

Lying all alone in bed
Crazy thoughts goin' though my head
Thinkin' about you
Tryin' hard to let it go
My head says yes but my heart says no
I wish I never had to choose

I've been walking down the same old road
tryin' hard to forget you
But I just can't let you go

I still think about you
Do you think about me?
I still think about you
No matter where you go
Just as sure as the cold wind blows
I still think about you

Do you think about me?

Baby I remember when
You and me were best of friends
We crossed our hearts and swore it was forever
But I guess that loving me
Was just a temporay thin
And I wish to god we were still together

I hope you found what you were looking for
It's been three years,
a lot of tears
Ain't got nothing but this song

I still think about you
Do you think about me
I still think about you
No matter where you go
Just as sure as the cold wind blows
I still think about you

Do you think about me?

When you're all alone
And you need a friend
I guess it doesn't matter
Cause what we had; we'll never have again

solo

repeat

There's a monkey in the jungle,
Watchin' a paper trail,
Caught up in the conflict between his brain and his tail.

Anyone like them?

Yep, they are great, shame they haven't released the best songs off the album

I like the 2nd track myself, best one on the album

Yeah the monkey references would do well on SYM

I will take you up on that offer if i am ever in London

Thanks

Same applies, if your ever near Brecon or Powys generally, i'll buy you several beers

We like our symian references.

I've never been to Wales.

I'll never look at sheep in quite the same way

Wales is very serene, nice fresh air

and lovely scenery

A few places to avoid though, like Merthyr and Swansea....those places are not healthy for anyone

Swansea actually has the highest car theft rate in Britain

I can imagine. It makes me think it would be very much like newcastle is some respects - quire rural in parts, industrial run-down and poor in others.

Yes very much like that

On the topic of music, if you like the gorillaz you might want the check out 'Zen' by DJ Krush, i don't know if you will get your hands on it, however it is truly excellent, very laid back

More instrumental that Gorillaz but same kind of chilled out vibe

I have to log off, busy day tomorrow, speak to you again Grunt, have a good one

Good Night.

I liked their first single (the remix, anyway), haven't heard the album though

Ummm, can't remember what track it is but on the latest Beta Band album there's a line about "the industry of Weasels"

Gruntboy · Post by **Gruntboy** » Fri Nov 09, 2001 6:26 pm

Heh heh, that's more like it.

morning Georgi.

Georgi · Post by **Georgi** » Fri Nov 09, 2001 6:48 pm

Morning Grunty, still here eh?

I also discovered when doing the erading for my seminar this week that the ancient Greeks considered the Weasel to be a bad omen

Gruntboy · Post by **Gruntboy** » Fri Nov 09, 2001 6:51 pm

Still hanging on. Bad omen eh? I think we'd have to insepct his entrails before knowing that.

LOL

Actually I think it was just the appearance of a weasel... which does make sense, it always fills me with a sense of dread

The Coming of Weasel is a fairly momentous event these days

I really don't wanna think about that too much...

I'm gonna pass out now. Nice talking to you Georgi.
