"Flavor of the Weak" - American Hi-Fi

she paints her nails and she don't know
he's got her best friend on the phone
she'll wash her hair
his dirty clothes are all he gives to her
and he's got posters on the wall
of all the girls he wished she was
and he's everything to her

[chorus:]
her boyfriend, he don't know
anything about her
he's too stoned, Nintendo
i wish that i could make her see
she's just the flavor of the weak

it's friday night and she's all alone
he's a million a miles away
she's dressed to kill
the tv's on
he's connected to the sound
and he's got pictures on the wall
of all the girls he's loved before
and she knows all his favorite songs

[repeat chorus]

yeah!

her boyfriend, he don't know
anything about her
he's too stoned, he's too stoned
he's too stoned, he's too stoned

[repeat chorus]

yeah she's the flavor of the weak
she makes me weak

The Ageing Young Rebel
DJ Food feat. Ken Nordine

An Ageing Young Rebel
Called What's His Name
Wanted to be different
while he stayed the same
The he couldn't,
he just couldn't
No matter what he would try
Told be his mother
An aging old thing
You better go see clever
You give clever a ring
Which he did
Called him up
Just so Mommy wouldn't cry

Clever hear his story
About different and the same
You crazy
This some silly game
Oh no
Like Mommy said
I gotta straighten up my head
Clever is so clever
Is cleverness enough
Can you help this ageing rebel
Do you really have the stuff
Bet you don't have
Bet the bread that you'll pass the buck instead

Clever sends our hero
To a funny darken room
Where a crowd of cunning listens
Giggles in the gloom
That's you problem aging rebel
Don't you really know the score
You crazy think your going to change this crazy world?
Better see your self a shrink
Cunningly the argue about our boy
Whose breaking down the door

Now he's running down the dark
Diabolical awaits
Grabs him by the ankle
Ani't it just like fait
Diabolical laughs
In an alley full of suit
Forget the same
you'll be different now
Somewhat shorter on one side
Let go
Oh no
Would you? diabolical inside
Panic in his brain pulls and gets away
Losses him a foot it's a dark and evil day

See him running limping blood
Something soft is just ahead
Something soft is gentle
He's fallen at her side
She comforts him with kisses
He dreams of suicide

Gentle is so gentle
Grabs the trouble by its root
Bandages his stump
Cuts off his other foot

So you see it seems to me a gentle kind of cruelty
Ageing rebels older a little wiser maybe too
Gentleness has fixed him
Does he look like me and you
Footless and fancy free
Think how happy Mom will be
Footless and fancy free
Think how happy Mom will be

"Pardon Me" - Incubus

Pardon me while I burst
Pardon me while I burst
A decade ago, I never thought I would be.
A twenty three on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me
But I guess that it comes with the territory.
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity.
I need you to hear. I need you to see.
That I have had all I can take
And exploding seems like a definite possibility
To me
So Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and its people's mindless games
So Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Not, two days ago I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees
I said I can relate
Cause lately I've been thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from.
The burdens of the planet earth, like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
And thinking so much differently.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
Pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Never be the same...yeah.
Pardon me while I burst into flames.
Pardon me, pardon me, pardon me.
So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world, and it's people's mindless games
So pardon me while I burn, and rise above the flame
Pardon me, pardon me. I'll never be the same.
Pardon me, never be the same. Yeah

Everybody Wants To Rule the World -Tears for Fears

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

"Deny" - Default

Today I woke up and you were gone
The whole day wondering what I did wrong
It's like I'm falling from a mountaintop
My heart keeps pounding and it won't stop

Can you see this hell I'm living
I'm not giving up

Will you crawl to me
Will you fall with me
I'll never crawl to you
I've done it all for you

Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you needs you
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you

There goes a piece of me
Will I cease to be
I've never lied to you
Fought bled and died for you

Well don't deny
The hand that takes you breaks you
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you

There she goes and I'm on the ground, I'm on the ground, I'm on the

Well don't deny
The hand that feeds you needs you
Oh god I'd die to try to
Finally please you

Will you crawl to me
Will you fall with me
I've never crawled to you
I've done it all for you

Snow - Informer

Chorus: *2
Informer, you no say
that's who I'm gonna blame
a licky boom boom down
Detective man said Daddy Snow
I stabbed someone down the lane
a licky boom boom down

Police than come and
they blow down my door
One him crawl through my window
so than they put me in the back
of the car at the station
From that point on I reached my destination
Now the destination reached
was the East detention
where they whipped out my pants and
looked up my bottom

Chorus

The bigger they are
the think the have more power
They're say on the phone
me say no every hour
I said I want to use it once
to call my lover
Lover who I'm gonna call
Is the one Tammy
I love her from my heart
down to my belly
Yes Daddy Snow, I'm the coolest Daddy
It's the one MC Shan and the one that is Snow
together we are like a tornado

Listen to me better listen to me now
when I rock the microphone
I rock it steady
Yes Sir Daddy Snow
me are the article done
when I'm at a dance
They say where you come from
People than say I come from Jamaica
but I'm born and raised in the ghetto
That's all I want you to know
my shoes used to tear up and my toes used to show
where I'm born is the one Toronto, so.

Chorus

Come with a nice young lady
Intelligent, yes she's gentle and irie
Everywhere I'm go I've never left her at all
Yes me Snow roam the dance
Roam the dance in every nation
You'd never know me Daddy Snow
I'm the Boom Shakata
I'll never lay down flat
in one cardboard box
Yes me Daddy Snow
I'm gonna reached the top, so.

Chorus

Why would he, why would he would he would he ...
We sitting round cool
with my dibby dibby girl
Police knock my door - lick up my pal
Rough me up and I can't do a thing
Pick up my line while the telephone rings
take me to the station
Black up my hands
Trail me down cause I'm hanging with the Snowman
What I'm gonna do, I'm black and I'm trapped
Slap me in the face and took all of my gap
They have no clues and the want to get warmer
But Shan won't turn Informer

Chorus

"Make Up Your Mind" - Theory of a Deadman

Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening?
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
I'll sit back and relax and wait for the morning

We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time

Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
The last time you yelled at me I swore that I heard you say
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking
I'l sit back and relax and wait for the morning

We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time

When will we make up, will we break up?
Let's wake up, let's wake up, let's wake up

Make up your mind and I'll make up mine
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine
Those words that you said to me, why wasn't I listening?
I wish I hadn't met you at all, I started thinking

We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
We'll wake up, we'll make up and do this for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
So wake up, let's make up and do this for the last time
Let's wake up, let's make up and do this
for the last time
If we break up, we'll wind up losing both of our minds
Let's wake up, let's make up

"Nothing Could Come Between Us" - Theory of a Deadman

Well I'm running back and forth from here to South Carolina
Wishing you were here, I guess I should watch what I wish for

You're right on time, so invite me in
this is where your trouble begins
But I like you better than the other ones
You say I'm right when you know I'm wrong
we could never just get along
Don't you hate when it gets stuck in your mouth
and then those words get in the way
She said...

Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same

You're so damn relentless, and you will find,
the two of us are like two of a kind
But it hits you harder than the other ones
You said it loosely, when I'm just sitting here with myself
Don't you hate when it gets stuck in your mouth
and then those words get in the way
She said...

Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is

It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale

Nothing could come, oh nothing could come
She said...

Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is

Oh nothing, oh nothing, oh nothing
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale

The price of Oil

voices on the radio
tell us that we’re going to war
those brave men and women in uniform
they want to know what they’re fighting for
the generals want to hear the end game
the allies won’t approve the plan
but the oil men in the white house
they just don’t give a damn

it’s all about the price of oil
it’s all about the price of oil
don’t give me no ****
about blood, sweat, tears and toil
it’s all about the price of oil
now I ain’t no fan of Saddam Hussein
oh, please don’t get me wrong
if it’s freeing the Iraqi people you’re after
then why have we waited so long
why didn’t we sort this out last time
was he less evil than he is now
the stock market holds the answer
to why him, why here, why now

Saddam killed his own people
just like general Pinochet
and once upon a time both these evil men
were supported by the U.S.A.
and whisper it, even Bin Laden
once drank from America’s cup
just like that election down in Florida
this **** doesn’t all add up
it’s all about the price of oil
‘cause it’s all about the price of oil
don’t give me no ****
about blood, sweat, tears and toil
it’s all about the price of oil

Billy Bragg

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Thu Feb 13, 2003 2:35 pm

The Internationale: (the Billy Bragg version)

Stand up, all victims of oppression
For the tyrants fear your might
Don't cling so hard to your possessions
For you have nothing, if you have no rights
Let racist ignorance be ended
For respect makes the empires fall
Freedom is merely privilege extended
Unless enjoyed by one and all.

CHORUS: So come brothers and sisters
For the struggle carries on
The Internationale
Unites the world in song
So comrades come rally
For this is the time and place
The international ideal
Unites the human race

Let no one build walls to divide us
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us
We'll live together or we'll die alone
In our world poisoned by exploitation
Those who have taken, now they must give
And end the vanity of nations
We've one but one Earth on which to live
And so begins the final drama
In the streets and in the fields
We stand unbowed before their armour
We defy their guns and shields
When we fight, provoked by their aggression
Let us be inspired by life and love
For though they offer us concessions
Change will not come from above.

Je ne Regrette Rien

Non! Rien de rien ...
Non ! Je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien ...
Non ! Je ne regrette rien...
C'est payé, balayé, oublié
Je me fous du passé!

Avec mes souvenirs
J'ai allumé le feu
Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux !

Balayés les amours
Et tous leurs trémolos
Balayés pour toujours
Je repars à zéro ...

Non ! Rien de rien ...
Non ! Je ne regrette nen ...
Ni le bien, qu'on m'a fait
Ni le mal, tout ça m'est bien égal !

Non ! Rien de rien ...
Non ! Je ne regrette rien ...
Car ma vie, car mes joies
Aujourd'hui, ça commence avec toi !

Let my bored self give it a try(*cheating* 'cause I'm using a dictionary)
And please, do correct, I might learn something.

No! Nothing of nothing!
No! I don't regret nothing(sounds rather southern).
Not the good nor the evil I've been done.
All is of that is good(-doesn't sound right-) the same to me.

No! Nothing of nothing!
No! I don't regret nothing.
This has been paid, swept, forgotten.
I craze myself about that what has passed.

No! Nothing of nothing!
No! I don't regret nothing.
I've set fire to my memories.
My sorrows, my pleasures
I don't need them anymore.

The loves have been swept
And all their (loves i suppose) trembled(?)
I always swept
I start off again at zero

No! Nothing of nothing!
No! I don't regret nothing.
Not the good nor the evil I've been done.
All of that is good the same to me.

No! Nothing of nothing!
No! I don't regret nothing.
For my life, for my joys
Today, those begin with you!

Well something like that....always had a D in French even with cheating.

2. One On One

[G. Tipton, K.K. Downing]

I am your darkest hour
I am your fall from power
I am the voice you dread and I'm
Screaming out inside your head

I am the final count
I am your demons out
I am the worst demise
I'm gonna cut your big words down to size

What is this?
I hear you shout
Face to face
I'm gonna take you out

One on one, bring it on
One on one, take me on

I am the awful truth
I am the fearless youth
I am the cross to bear
And the one who dares to return your stare

I am the fist of God
I am the underdog
I'll always stand my ground
While the others scatter all around

Against all odds
Daespite it all
I'm at my best when I'm against the wall

One on one, bring it on
One on one, take me on

I am the bloodstained past at last
That's finally caught up with you like
The glint of steel from out of the dark the last
Thing you will feel - I'm outgunned, I'm out

Run, I'm undead and then I found the skin
You shed - I am the questions asked
That send the shivers down your back

So I am holding out
And I'm much stronger now
So take me on

One on one, bring it on
One on one, take me on

I am the darkest night
I am the viper's strike
I'll see you all consumed
As you start to lick your mortal wounds

Like the condemned man
Who just won't die
I'll show no remorse
I'll never walk away

One on one, bring it on
One on one, take me on

Fields of Fire -Big Country

Between a father and a son
Between the city and the one
Before the teacher and the test
Before the journey and the rest

The shining eye will never cry
The beating heart will never die
The house on fire holds no shame
I will be coming home again

400 miles without a word until you smile
400 miles on fields of fire

Between a woman and a boy
Between a child and his toy
Between a woman and a boy
Between a child and a toy
Before the following of the west
Before the journey and the rest

400 miles without a word until you smile
400 miles without a word until you smile
400 miles on fields of fire

Dead kennedys - Carlifornia Uber Alles.

I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president

Carter power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school

California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California

Zen fascists will control you
100% natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

Close your eyes, can't happen here
Big Bro' on white horse is near
The hippies won't come back you say
Mellow out or you will pay

California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California

Now it is 1984
Knock knock at your front door
It's the suede/denim secret police
They have come for your uncool neice

Come quitely to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes here's a pretty flower

Die on organic poison gas
Serpent's egg's already hatched
You will crack, you little clown
When you mess with President Brown

California Uber Alles
Uber Alles California

"It's My Life" - Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

Here's a favorite of mine by Metallica, back when I liked them in the early 80's...

Fade to Black

Life it seems, will fade away,
Drifting further every day.
Getting lost within myself,
Nothing matters no one else.
I have lost the will to live,
Simply nothing more to give;
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free...

Things are not what they used to be,
Missing one inside of me.
Deathly lost, this can't be real;
Cannot stand this hell I feel.
Emptiness is filing me,
To the point of agony...
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now He's gone...
No one but me can save myself, but it's to late.
Now I can't think, think why I should even try,
Yesterday seems as though it never existed...
Death Greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye.

Another one from Iron Maiden:

Still Life

Dave Murray/Steve Harris

Take a look in the pool and what do you see?
In the dark depths their faces beckoning me.
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see...
They were there, oh I know you don't believe me.

Oh...I've never felt so strange.
But...I'm not going insane.

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head...
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead.
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool;
Something draws me there I don't know what to do.

Oh...they drain my strength away
Oh...they're asking me to stay.

Nightmares...spirits calling me
Nightmares...they won't leave me be.

All my life's blood is slowly draining away...
And I feel that I'm weaker every day.
Somehow I know I haven't long to go...
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.

Now...I feel they are so near
I...begin to see them clear

Nightmares...coming all the time
Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do...
I must take you down there to look at them too.
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool...
Can't you see not just me they want you too.

Oh...we'll drown together
It...will be forever.

Nightmares...forever calling me
Nightmares...Now we rest in peace.

@Chanak, how can you choose a single Maiden's song?

Anyway, here's maybe the truest song of Manowar..

Blood of My Enemies - Manowar, 1984

Three sons have I, and they ride by my side
The fierce, The black, and the wicked are their names
we ride down my enemies on their half-hearted flight.
No voice of mercy - no evangels of light.

Mighty messengers - heathens rage
Witness our coming - gods of the dead.
I ride through the air - I laugh as I die
With powers of evil dark knowledge is mine.
The ride of the wicked - the 1st sin was trust.
Kill without warning - for blood now I lust.

Strong winds - magic mist
To Asgard the Valkries fly
High overhead - they carry the dead
where the blood of my enemy lies.
