Song Lyrics

I had to laugh when I saw the way this text was written. But it is a good song. Can anyone guess what it's about?

Lindisfarne - StormWarrior

793 at the northumbrian shore
Dreadfull omens shake the lande
Mighty messengers have come from above
Awful signs they shalle presente
Thunderstorms, lighting comes down
Fiery dragons ride the sky
A famine hath followed these tokens of hell
Starvation now overtakes man's life

Fallow's moon hath left the saintly shore
Holy island ends the nighte
Northern dragons have crossed the ocean's horizon
Red white sails appeare in sighte

Highe swung stems are breaking the waves
Behold! Ship made of oak drawing near
Beastly howlings are reaching the isle
What strange horde hath broughte the sea

Lindisfarne - The priests are overrun
Lindisfarne - Calamity hath come
Shores are laid waste, saints to overtake
The storme of the northe hath begun
At Lindisfarne

Storming on the lande
Tearing their clothes off their backs
Chasing these weaklings away
Some shalle be struck, some shalle be drowned
Others shalle be laid in chains
St. Cuthbert's cross, their treasure of stone
Knocked down their idol shalle be
His holy church, a sacred place
Spattered and soiled withe the bloode of the priests

Plundered the chapels shalle be
The cloister is sacked, the altar is destroyed
Precious stone, noble jewels and gold
Now their holy treasures are on board

Lindisfarne - The priests are overrun
Lindisfarne - Calamity hath come
Shores are laid waste, saints to overtake
The storme of the northe hath begun
At Lindisfarne

[Solo: Lars/Both]

Alcuin of York:
"Lo, it is nearly 350 years that we and our fathers
have inhabited this lovely land, and never before
has such terror appeared in Britain as this we now
suffered from a pagan race...

They stepped on holy places with uncleaned feet
Dug up the altars and plundered all the treasures in the holy curch...
What should be expected for other places
When the divine judgement has not spared this holy place?"

Thy ravens up highe
One-eyed father, accept our offering
Let us not return without wealth and pride
Be our guidance on the stormy sea

Lindisfarne - The priests are overrun
Lindisfarne - Calamity hath come
Shores are laid waste, saints to overtake
The storme of the northe hath begun
At Lindisfarne

"A furore Normannorum libera nos, Domine!"

Lindesfarne aka 'Holy Island' ? Been there

3 Doors Down - Away From The Sun

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone do what I've done
I missed life
I missed the colours of the world
Can anyone go where I am

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I've known

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't do what I've done

And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me

'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again.

The SYM anthem, perhaps?

Rage Against The Machine Magrus's POSTFarming Lyrics


I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray for rain.
I got a head full of ideas
That are drivin' me insane
It's a shame
the way she makes me
scrub the floor
I ain't gonna work on, nah
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more.
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
nah, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more
Well, he hands you a nickel
And he hands you a dime
And he asks you with a grin
If you're havin' a good time
Then he fines you every time you slam the door
I ain't gonna work for, nah
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's brother no more

I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
Well, he puts his cigar
Out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window
It is made out of bricks
The National Guard stands around his door
I ain't gonna work, nah
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's pa no more
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
No, I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more
Well, she talks to all the servants
About man and God and law
And everybody says
Shes the brains behind pa
Shes sixty-eight, but she says shes twenty-four
I ain't gonna work for, nah
I ain't gonna work for Maggie's ma no more

I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
No, I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more
Well I try my best
To be just like I am
But everybody wants you
To be just like them
They sing while they slave and just get bored
I ain't gonna work on, nah
I ain't gonna work on Maggie's farm no more

[Magrus]

You're not the first boy to write a song about me Ikky. Unfortunately, I prefer females writing songs for me. Thanks though.

I heard this song on a soundtrack for a movie (I still cannot recall which one ) but I found it! It's mine now! It reminds me of a girl I got into trouble with. Made me learn to do my best to avoid getting in the middle of my friends relationships.

Comin' Up From Behind - by Marcy Playground

Ah, She's an eight ball,
She's a'rollin faster than a white wall,
She's got an avalanche packed into a snowball,
She's a losin all the links,
She's like a stonewall,
She's loaded up,

She's the underdog,
Gonna take a mighty swipe
At the high horse,
While'a sippin on her tricks
In a pitfall,
Makin eyes at the girls like bullfrogs,
I'm telling you, sir,

(Chorus)
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,

Yeah, She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,

You'd like her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your Wall Street pockets are jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your rich kid games,

It's a longshot,
She's got a troop and a tongue for a slingshot,
But she's takin' steady aim
At the bigshots,
It's hard to miss the rolling-polies
On the blacktop,
You better watch your turf,

(Chorus)
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,

Yeah,
She's comin up from,
comin up from, comin up,
comin up from behind,

You had her hanging
Like a sneaker on a live wire, dangling,
While your golden-lined pockets were jangling
With the hollow jackpot of your wretched games,

She caught your sick lie,
It's creepin in the shadow of your white smile,
Lurking underneath the cover of your bedroom eyes,
Well, you're greasin' up the lance for your small-fry,

You wanna talk it up, do you?
Well you're floatin like a royal balloon -- oh,
Your ego's swollen to the size of the moon, well,
I think you found somebody to cut you down to size.
Well well,

Yeah,
She's comin up from behind,
She's comin up from behind,

Yeah,
She's comin up from behind,
She's comin up from behind....

One my favorite bands, because unlike all the BS we hear today this is one political group that knows what is right.

Weapons of Mass Destruction
Faithless

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soaraway sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye

In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

My story stops here, lets be clear
This scenario is happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana
You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight

Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction

Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction

We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

lol one of my new favorites...

Three Dog Night - Joy to the World

Jeremiah was a bull frog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

If I were the King of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
And make sweet love to you

Sing it now
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high night flier and a rainbow rider
And a straight-shooting son of a gun
I said a staight shootin son of a gun

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

[Magrus]

There's a few songs I wanted to post off this album, yet, they had cursing in them. Given this one didn't, I'll use this one instead. It still has a message, and it works.

WAKE UP
Come on!
Uggh!

Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's ****
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Yeah!
Yeah, back in this...
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Uggh!
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!


I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

'He may be a real contender for this position should he
abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'
'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them,
neutralize them, neutralize them'

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow

[Athena]

Terrapin Station Lyrics

Inspiration, move me brightly
Light the song with sense of colour
Hold away despair
More than this I will not ask
Faced with mysteries dark and vast
Statements just seem vain at last
Some rise, some fall, some climb (note 1)
To get to Terrapin

Counting stars by candlelight
Some are dim but one is bright
The spiral light on Venus
Rising first and shining best
Oh, from the north-west corner
Of a brand new crescent moon
Where crickets and cicadas sing
A rare and different tune
Terrapin Station
In the shadow of the moon
Terrapin Station
And I know we'll be there soon

(Terrapin)
I can't figure out
(Terrapin)
If it's the end or beginning (note 2)
(Terrapin)
But the train's put it brakes on
(Terrapin)
And the whistle is screaming
Terrapin
Notes
(1) in his 1980 recording, Hunter sang "Some rise, some climb, some crawl" and then (in the repeat) "Some rise, some climb, some fall"
(2) this is what Garcia sings. But the published lyrics are "if it's an end or the beginning." And Hunter sang "is this an end or a beginning."

[Galuf the Dwarf]

On the downside...

Been doing great in college and at work, but this sums up much of my feelings all the while.

Motorhead: Lost in the Ozone

I am a drifter on a hungry empty sea
There is no one on earth to rescue me
The winter storms they freeze me
Summer burned alive
I can´t remember when another soul passed by

Marooned and stranded, on the Islands of the Damned
There is no one on earth to take my hand
There is no voice to speak, no soul for company
The sun goes down likw blood into the Western Sea

Alone and dying, and a thousand miles from home
I know I never was so broken and alone
I searched the sky for God, shivered to the bone
Drowned in sorrow, Lost in the Ozone

No hand for me, abandon me
Wash over me, watch over me, drowned forever
*instrumental*
Alone and crying, and a thousand miles astray
Alone upon the cruel sea, forsworn and cast away
I turned my face to god, but his face was turned away

Lost in the Ozone, nothing left to say
Lost in the Ozone, nothing left to say
Nothing left to say, nothing left to say
Wash over me

Although I suppose people really try to tell me this:

The Eagles - Take it Easy

Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on
my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take It easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner
in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
we will never be here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in,
so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
my load, got a world of trouble on my mind
lookin' for a lover who won't blow my
cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
don't let the sound of your own
wheels make you crazy
come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

[Oscuro_Sol]

This is a good song, I like it. I hope I didn't already post it, because I tend to do that a lot.

QUEEN - One Year of Love

Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It’s always a rainy day without you
I’m a prisoner of love inside you -
I’m falling apart all around you - yeah
My heart cries out to your heart
I’m lonely but you can save me
My hand reaches for to your hand
I’m cold but you light the fire in me
My lips search for your lips
I’m hungry for your touch
There’s so much left unspoken
And all I can do is surrender
To the moment just surrender

And no one ever told me that love would hurt so much
Oooh yes it hurts
And pain is so close to pleasure
And all I can do is surrender to your love
Just surrender to your love
Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It’s always a rainy day without you
I’m a prisoner of love inside you
I’m falling apart all around you
And all I can do is surrender

[Grimar]

Devil Doll - The Sacriledge of Fatal Arms


SACRILEGIUM:
PROFANATIO OMNIUM QUAE DEO
VEL SANCTIS PROPOSITIS CONSECRANTUR.

translation: "SACRILEGE: Profanation of every thing sacred to God or to sacred purposes"


FOR LONG ENDLESS MILLIONS OF INSTANTS
I DRANK AT THE GOBLET OF ILLUSION
TILLING TUMOURS AND FOLLIES
DESPERATELY WANDERING
THROUGH THE DARK TUNNELS
OF THE BONE BOX
THEN, SUBMITTING,
I CHOSE TO DROWN
IN THE ASHES OF MY DREAMS.
WHEN PURITY IS RAPED
THREE DAYS ARE NOT ENOUGH
TO RESURRECT:
EVERYWHERE
LEPROSY SPREADS OUT,
THE LIGHT OF THE EYES
IS EXTINGUISHED,
THUNDERS NOW SHATTER
THE EARDRUMS,
THE SCREAM IS:
"THE PLAGUE BE ON YOU!"

THE DUST
I USED TO BUILD
THE IMPALPABLE REALITY
OF MY NIGHTS
BRINGS ME BACK
ALONG THE PATHS
WHERE I SCATTERED
USELESS HOPES.

BELIEVE!
CAN I TRUST YOU?
NO, PLEASE, DON`T!
CAN I TRUST YOU?
FOREVER, REALLY, FOREVER!
OATHS ENGRAVED IN THE WATER...

OBEY!
AS A CHILD, OR AN IDIOT
WHO FOLLOWS THE LAWS
OF THE XXXX OTHERS?
QUICKSANDS HAVE JUST ONE
UNRELENTING GOAL.
BON VOYAGE, MON AMOUR...

FIGHT!
THAT INVISIBLE ENEMY
NESTLED BEHIND THOSE
GORGEOUS, FALSE, SHARP
SMILES

IN ORDER TO CONQUER THE FUTURE: AND DESTROY IT!
I GO BACK -ONCE MORE- INTO THE ABYSS OF MY NOTHING.
YOU KNOW
THE DEAD HAVE THE VIRTUE OF LOOKING LIKE EACH OTHER.

IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
WE WERE CHILDREN
AND PLAYING AT RUNNING
AFTER EACH OTHER;
YOU WOULD OFTEN LOCK ME
IN THE DARK CELLAR,
AND I IMPLORED:
"PLEASE OPEN!"
I USED TO RUN TRAMPLING ON
THE LITTLE HEADS
-CUT OFF-
SPREAD RIPE ON THE LAWN
WE HAD NO MOTHER
SO WE`RE TAKING TURNS
IN BEING HER.
YOU WERE VISITING MY DREAMS
LEAVING TO SNOW
THROUGH ALMOST
CLOSED FINGERS
GLITTERING CRYSTALS
OF VERGINAL ILLUSIONS.

TIME SEEMED OUR BROTHER
UNTIL THE DEADLY NIGHT
TWISTED, I PRESERVED YOU
-JEALOUSLY- BESIDE ME.
GELID, ADORNED WITH
THE DAMNED CLOTHS
OF THE SUDDEN
SILENCE....
....WHILE
DREAMFUL...
....I OFFERED YOU
A SMILE....
....IN A SUSPENDED FLASH
THE SPIRIT....
....WAS PLUCKED AWAY
BY THE....
....SACRILEGE OF FATAL ARMS!

FOREVER!
REMEMBER?
FOREVER!
I KEPT THE SECRET

"WHERE IS THE BRIDE?"
"FORSAKEN HIM!"
"FLEEING THE DECEIVED"
"LEFT HIM ALONE!"

TALK, TALK
YOU FOOLS!

FOREVER I WANTED
STILL, LIFELESS AND EMPTY
THE SHADOW OF YOU
TO LIE ON
THE BRIDAL COUCH
WHERE YOU LAUGHED
ASTONISHED
MINDING THE TALES
BIZARRE AND CONTORTED
I TOLD YOU EVERY NIGHT
PRIOR TO SUBMITTING
TO THE EMPIRE OF THE DARK.

MORS AT SUAE COHORTIS LUDUS:
"ANATHEMA, ANATHEMA TIBI!"
ARCANI VIS ET NATURA:
"ANATHEMA, ANATHEMA TIBI!"

Translation: "DEATH AND HER TROOPS:
CURSE, CURSE ON YOU!
THE ULTIMATE MYSTERY:
CURSE, CURSE ON YOU!"


THEY WHO KNOW, DO NOT SPEAK!
THEY WHO TALK, DO NOT KNOW!
"MALEDICTUS! MALEDICTUS!"

WE ARE JUST SKETCHES OF MEN
CAUGHT IN A WICKED VORTEX
WHERE TERTIUM NON DATUR
BETWEEN BEING GOD
OR BEING DAMNED.

BUT, AFTER ALL,
ISN`T IT TRUE THAT
AN INAUDIBLE SUGGESTION,
AN INEFFABLE REMORSE,
A SECRET INSTINCT
REVEAL THE IMPURITY
HIDDEN IN SUCCESS,
THE VULGARITY OF VICTORY,
THE FILTH NESTLING
IN FORTUNE:
PURE PURITY
ABSOLUTE CATHARSIS,
IS IN MISADVENTURE,
IN TRAGEDY,
IN ONE`S INELUCTABLE
CHECK MATE.

AND WHEN THE LIGHTS DIM
AND FALLS SLOWLY THE CURTAIN,
I RETURN TO DANCE IN A RING
WITH THE SKELETON MAN
AND THE BEARDED LADY,
THE BIRD-BOY AND
THE LAUGHING DWARF;
AMONG DRAGONS
AND AVENGING ANGELS,
WINGED MAIDENS
AND HERDS OF BLIND MEN
WHO BARK
WITH OPEN WIDE ORBITS
TAKING ME AT LAST
TO THE WORLD WHERE
UNCERTAINTY DOES NOT EXIST.

IN HEAVEN. OR UNDERGROUND.

EVEN ANGELS CRY, EVEN HERON REFUSES TO FLY.... (BACKWARDS ON CD AND LP)

Linkin Park - My December (my favorite song and my depression national anthem)

This is my December.
This is my time of the year.
This is my December.
This is all so clear.

This is my December.
This is snow-covered home.
This is my December.
This is me alone.

And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed).
And I (take back all the things that make you feel like that).
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed).
And I (take back all the things that make you feel like that).

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to.

This is my December.
These are my snow-covered trees.
This is me pretending
This is all I need.

And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed).
And I (take back all the things that make you feel like that).
And I (just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed).
And I (take back all the things that make you feel like that).

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to.

This is my December.
This is my time of the year.
This is my December.
This is all so clear!

Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to.

Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to.
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to.

[Fiona]

This song is about the imminent death of a loved one. I find it very moving.

The Light on the Shore

Old as I am, older than the threads of understanding, which we weave between us
Old as you are, older by far, than the contours of the love that we leave behind us

Bold as I am, bolder than the pioneers who trekked their way across the desert
Bold as you are, bolder by far than the lovers who have swum the tide to be together

Are we old enough and bold enough to say goodbye?
Are we old enough and bold enough that we do not need to cry?
Well I'm not so old and not so bold I don't need you more
Now the light is slowly beckoning you to the shore

Cold is the ground for which you're bound
It's a place where we can never more be together
Cold is the air that takes you there
On a passage that will end with your end forever

But it's not so cold I do not feel the warmth of your skin
And it's not so cold I do not know the fires that burn within you
Though they are fading now I wish that they would blaze once more
And keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning you to the shore

If I could sail the seas of time then I would keep you from harm
But I am no sailor and I cannot warn you
Though there's nothing in my life I ever wanted more
Than to keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning you
Than to shield you from the light that's slowly beckoning you to the shore

"

Breakdown" - Jack Johnson

I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And, see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them
I just roam through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame im looking through
Seems to have no concern for me now
So for now

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

This engine screams out loud
Sayin the beat gunna crawl westbound
So I dont even make a sound
Cause its gunna sting me when I leave this town
All the people in the street
That i'll never get to meet
If these dont bend somehow
And I got no time
That I got to get to
Where I dont need to be
So I

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Let me break on down

But you cant stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know
You dont know nothing
But you dont need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows
You cant stop wishing
If you dont let go
But things that you find
And you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now

Just listening to some old "friends." Although this was written 20 years ago..... nothing has really changed...

Call it Democracy

Padded with power here they come
international loan sharks backed by the guns
of market hungry military profiteers
whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared
with the blood of the poor

Who rob life of its quality
who render rage a necessity
by turning countries into labour camps
modern slavers in drag as champions of freedom

Sinister cynical instrument
who makes the gun into a sacrament --
the only response to the deification
of tyranny by so-called "developed" nations'
idolatry of ideology

North south east west
kill the best and buy the rest
it's just spend a buck to make a buck
you don't really give a flying ****
about the people in misery

IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

See the paid-off local bottom feeders
passing themselves off as leaders
kiss the ladies shake hands with the fellows
open for business like a cheap bordello

And they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy
and they call it democracy

See the loaded eyes of the children too
trying to make the best of it the way kids do
one day you're going to rise from your habitual feast
to find yourself staring down the throat of the beast
they call the revolution

IMF dirty MF
takes away everything it can get
always making certain that there's one thing left
keep them on the hook with insupportable debt

Bruce C0ckburn, written Nov. 1985

The Rolling Stones

If I could stick my pen in my heart
And spill it all over the stage
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would you think the boy is strange? Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
A love song so divine
Would it be enough for your cheating heart
If I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
If I could stick a knife in my heart
Suicide right on stage
Would it be enough for your teenage lust
Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
Feelings would flood on the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya
Would ya think the boy's insane? He's insane
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it, I like it
I said can't you see that this old boy has been a lonely?
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it
I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, like it, yes, I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it. I like it...

and here's one by the Beatles

What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me ?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone ?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own ?)
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I just need someone to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
with a little help from my friends.

and last but not least, short but sweet, Tom Petty!

It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you running away,
Honey, I get the feeling you wont
There is no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We've said all there is to say
Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me
Breakdown honey take me through the night
Breakdown now I'm standing here can't you see
Breakdown it's all right
It's all right
It's all right

[Lestat]

Oh well, here's one that lingers in my all time top 3, occasionnally snuggling into the number one spot.

"There is a light and it never goes out"
THE SMITHS

Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people and i
Want to see life
Driving in your car
Oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their
Home, and I’m welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh god, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and i
Just couldn’t ask)

Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere, I don’t care
I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one, da ...
Oh, I haven’t got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out

[The Chosen One]

Marilyn Manson - Coma Black

My mounth was a crib and it was growing lies
I didn't know what love was on that day
My heart's tiny bloodclot, I picked at it
It never heals it never goes away

Burned all the good things in the eden eye
We were to dumb to run, to dead to die (2x)

This was never my world
You took the angel away
I killed myself to make everybody pay (2x)

I would have told her that she was the only thing
That I could love in this dieing world
But the simple word of love itself
Already died and went away

This was never my world you took the angel away
I killed myself to make everybody pay (2x)

Burned all the good things in the eden eye
We were to dumb to run, to dead to die (2x)


This was never my world you took the angel away
I killed myself to make everybody pay (4x)

Her heart's bloodstained egg
We didn't handle with care
It's broken and bleeding
And we can never repear (2x)

And we can never repear

[Chimaera182]

I love that song.

Evanescence - Anywhere

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

[CHORUS]
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

[CHORUS]

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Juniper]

Two Step - Dave Matthews band

Say, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Say, love, you drive me to distraction

Oh, Helena, do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change

Change... oh, I want to change it...

Hey, Helena, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, oh, you quench my mind and say:

Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short but
Sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot
Celebrate we will, you and me
Climb on two by two, to be sure
These days continue
Things we cannot change

Oh, Helena, I came to you
With best intentions
You laid down and gave to me
Just what I'm seeking
Say, love, watch me celebrate...
Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short
But sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change.
