Song Lyrics

[Juniper]

Found an mix CD I had misplaced with this song on it....

"L.A. Song" - Beth Hart

She hangs around the boulevard
She's a local girl with local scars
She got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
& she tried and she tried and she tried
but nothin's clear in a bar full a flies
So she takes and she takes
She understands when she gives it away
She says

Man I gotta get outta this town
Man I gotta get outta this pain
Man I gotta get outta this town
Outta this town & out of L.A.

She's gotta gun
She got a gun she calls the lucky one
She left a note right by the phone
Don't leave a message 'cause this ain't no home
& she cried and she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
Then she laughed
'Cause she knew she was never comin' back
She said

Man I'm gonna get outta this town
Man I'm gonna get outta this pain
Man I'm gonna get outta this town
Outta this town & out of L.A.
It's all she loves It's all she hates It's all too much for her
to take she can't be sure just where it ends or where
the good life begins
So she took a train
to a little old town without a name

She met a man he took her in
but fed her all the same bullsh** again
'Cause he lied
he lied like a salesman sellin' flies
So she screamed
it's a different place
but the same old thang
It's all I love It's all I hate It's all too much for me to take
I can't be sure where it begins or if the good life lies within
So she said

Man I gotta get out of this town
Yeah now I gotta get back on that train
Man I gotta get out of this town
I'm outta my pain
So I'm goin' back to L.A

In These Shoes?

I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said let’s make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said in these shoes?
I don’t think so
I said honey, let’s do it here.

So I’m sitting at a bar in guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said I’ve got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I’ll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day.
I said in these shoes?
No way, jose
I said honey, let’s stay right here.

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I don’t like to dance, I can’t ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo
(how can I dance? it’s a scandal)

Then I met an englishman
Oh he said
Won’t you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive.
I said in these shoes?
I doubt you’d survive.
I said honey, let’s do it.
Let’s stay right here.

No le gusta caminar. no puede montar a caballo
(I don’t like to dance, I can’t ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? es un escandolo
(how can I dance? it’s a scandal)

IT'S LATE by QUEEN (written by BRIAN MAY)

You say you love me
And I hardly know your name
And if I say I love you, in the candlelight
There's no one but myself to blame
But there's something inside
That's turning my mind away
Oh how I could love you
If I could let you stay

It's late
But I'm bleeding deep inside
It's late
Is it just my sickly pride?
Too late
Even now the feeling seems to steal away
So late
Though I'm crying, I can't help but hear you say
It's late
It's late
It's late
But not too late

The way you love me
Is the sweetest love around
But after all this time
The more I'm trying,
The more I seem to let you down
Now you tell me you're leaving
And I just can't believe it's true
Oh, you know that I can love you
Though I know I can't be true
Oh, you made me love you
Don't tell me that we're through

It's late
But it's driving me so mad
It's late
Yes I know, but don't try to tell me that
It's too late
Save our love you can't turn out the lights
So late
I've been wrong but I'll learn to be right
It's late
It's late
It's late
But not too late

I've been so long
You've been so long
We've been so long,
Trying to work it out
I ain't got long
You ain't got long
We gotta know what this life is all about

Trying to work it out
Yeah

Ooh, too late
Yeah
Much too late

You're staring at me
With suspicion in your eye
You say, what game are you playing?
What's this that you're saying?
I know that I can't reply
If I take you tonight,
Is it making my life a lie?
Oh! you make me wonder
Did I live my life right?

It's late
But it's time to set me free
It's late
Yes I know but there's no way it has to be
Too late
So let the fire take our bodies this night
So late
Let the waters take our guilt in the tide
It's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, It's late, it's late
Oh
It's all too late

[Fiona]

I BELIEVE


I believe the Good Lord loves me, and that he loves you as well
And if you don’t believe he loves you, he’ll send your butt to hell
Don’t believe in evolution, it’s too implausible
There’s a rational explanation; God magicked up it all

I believe that you should love your fellow man unless he’s gay
The Jerry Springer Opera’s evil but the Gulf War is okay
I believe the universe is six thousand years old
I’m getting real good at believing almost anything I’m told

I believe that science is witchcraft, they’ve all made Satanic pacts
I believe in faith alone, I don’t believe in facts
I believe the Lord speaks to me, I’d do anything he said
Be it feed the poor and hungry or shoot a doctor dead

I believe that God will stretch out his hand down from up above
And smite the gays and the Arabs in the name of love
I believe in anything the preacher tells me to
And I believe this makes me morally superior to you

I believe
You wouldn’t believe what I believe

Sang by Sakamoto Maaya
Lyrics by Tim Jensen

Here, people look for heaven
Livin’ in a fear of God
Losing themselves, hiding forever
Afraid of what they’re not
She spent her whole life
Chasing stardust
And then when she could taste it
A million dollars of pride
And still unhappy

So sad, she couldn’t feel, she couldn’t feel
I know the story
So sad, she couldn’t feel, she couldn’t feel
I know the score

Here I am, I’ve walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am, I’ve walked the shadows
It’s time that I move on
With myself, I share the silence
I just walk along
Walk along

Here, people hide in darkness
Watchin’ their shadows grow
Tears of gold or nothing matters
Selling themselves out short
Take diamonds for hope and fame for caring
The things she couldn’t give up
She blows out the candle of love
And loses her way out

So mad, she couldn’t see, she couldn’t see
I know the story
So mad, she couldn’t see, she couldn’t see
I know the score

Here I am, I’ve walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am, I’ve walked the shadows
It’s time that I move on
With myself, I share the silence
I just walk along
I walk along

People here choose not to listen
Afraid of what they might hear
Believing in lies and contradiction
Can be so safe and warm
And so many people tried to tell her
You know she wouldn’t listen
A million voices called out
She just walked away

So loud, she couldn’t hear, she couldn’t hear
I know the story
So loud, she couldn’t hear, she wouldn’t hear
I know the score

Here I am, I’ve walked a promise
But it can take so long
Here I am, I’ve walked the shadows
It’s time that I move on
With myself, I share the silence
I just walk along
I walk along

One of my favourite Bowie songs

LET'S DANCE by DAVID BOWIE

Let's dance!
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance
To the song they're playing on the radio

Let's sway
While colour lights up your face
Let's sway
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance

Let's dance
For fear your grace should fall
Let's dance
For fear tonight is all

Let's sway
You could look into my eyes
Let's sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight!

And if you say run, I'll run with you
And if you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you would break my heart in two
If you should fall into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance!
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's sway
Under the moonlight, this serious moonlight!

Let's sway!
Let's sway

LMAO Fiona! Lovely Song !

This song's been stuck in my head all day, so get it stuck in yours too .

The Beautiful Girls - "Periscopes"

Well I woke up last night, couldn't tell if I was dreaming.
I thought I saw the face of an angel and I heard her speaking to me.
She said my boy, don't fill up your head with trivial things.
Cos life's too beautiful for you to leave.

Just like periscopes up in the sky,
Well I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you in my whole life.
Things don't always go the way you plan them,
But if your going with the flow well then it makes it easier to bare.

I'll give you kisses on your neck just like I always promised.
You came into my mind like pictures of an earthly godess.
She said my boy don't fill up your heart with nothing but love.
The truth that's true to you is truth enough.

Just like periscopes up in the sky,
Well I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you in my whole life.
Things don't always go the way you plan them,
But if your going with the flow well then it makes it easier to bare.

Easier to bare

Just like periscopes up in the sky,
Well I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you in my whole life.
Things don't always go the way you plan them,
But if your going with the flow well then it makes it easier to bare.

Just like periscopes up in the sky,
Well I have never seen a girl as beautiful as you in my whole life.
Things don't always go the way you plan them,
But if your going with the flow well then it makes it easier to bare.

All I need -
I don't need your inhibitions
All I need is to be free.
And I don't like no-one to tell me,
Just where I'm going because i can see.
I can see.
Show you all of my intentions,
Get this world belong to me.
Imitate all my inventions, a minute too late
Will never set you free.
Set you free.

[Denethorn]

My favourite Michael Jackson song Party for the Eddie Van Halen riff

Beat It

They told him don't you ever come around here
Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it
Just beat it, beat it

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it

You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

Beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it
No one wants to be defeated
Just beat it, beat it
Beat it, beat it, beat it

A bit of trivia about that song - just before Eddie's guitar solo, you can hear a technician knocking on the door of the studio just as they begin recording, they decided to keep it in.

[Fiberfar]

Ooops I did it again - Children of Bodom

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby

CHORUS:
Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

You see my problem is this
I'm dreaming away
Wishing that heroes, they truly exist
I cry, watching the days
Can't you see I'm a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Baby, oh

CHORUS

Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

"All aboard!"
"Britney, before you go, there's something I want you to have"
"Oh it's beautiful, but wait a minute, isn't this...?"
"Yeah, yes it is"
"But I thought the old lady dropped it in the ocean in the end"
"Well baby, I went down and got it for you"
"Oh you shouldnt have"

Oops!...I did it again to your heart
Got lost in this game, oh baby
Oops!...You think that I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

CHORUS 2x

Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent

Their cover of Britney is hilarious :laugh:

[Lestat]

Since it was suggested that Johnay (he of the boobs and I'm new thread) might be a girl this song kept popping in my head:

Waterboys - A Girl Called Johnny

I remember johnny - hey!
Johnny come lately
I remember her shoes like a ballerina
A girl called johnny who
Changed her name when she
Discovered her choice was to
Change or to be changed

I remember a girl called johnny
Black as hell and white as a ghost
Don’t talk about life or death
She said I’ve had enough of both
A girl called johnny who was not scared
They’d have torn her to pieces but
Who would dare?

I remember a girl called johnny
The train came to town, boy she got on it
With no looking back, with not a word
If she said goodbye, well I never heard
But the noise goes on
The noise, the jazz
And the truth is in somebody else’s hands
And the house that a girl called johnny built
Is now just ashes and sand

[Fiona]

Bad


I've been the token woman all my life
The token daughter and the token wife
Now I collected tokens one by one
'Til I've saved enough to buy a gun
Now you can't get even but you can get mad
And it's not funny no and it's not sad
It's just a feeling that I've always had
Oh Look out world I'm about to be bad

I want a brief encounter in a stolen car
A hand on my buttock in a Spanish bar
I want to meet the man who wants to go too far
For a token of my affection
I want to taste excitement
Smell the danger
Get swept off my feet by the perfect stranger
I want to try something that I've never had
Oh look out world I'm about to be bad

I've been an awful woman all my life
A dreadful daughter and a hopeless wife
And I've had my eye on that carving knife
Oh you've been lucky so far
I'm not crazy no I'm just mad
I don't want to be sorry
No I want to be glad
It's just a feeling inside that I have always had
So look out world I'm about to be bad

This is a double post and I may even have posted these lyrics before. I am putting them here again, especially for DJ Venom. I do not mean to devalue the bravery and sacrifice of those who died at Gallipoli,DJ. Quite the opposite. I honour them and earnestly hope that they and all those who have died in other conflicts can be remembered so that these things do not happen again.

Waltzing Matilda

Now when I was a young man I carried me pack
And I lived the free life of the rover.
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback,
Well, I waltzed my Matilda all over.
Then in 1915, my country said, "Son,
It's time you stop ramblin', there's work to be done."
So they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun,
And they marched me away to the war.

And the band played "Waltzing Matilda,"
As the ship pulled away from the quay,
And amidst all the cheers, the flag waving, and tears,
We sailed off for Gallipoli.

And how well I remember that terrible day,
How our blood stained the sand and the water;
And of how in that hell that they call Suvla Bay
We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter.
Johnny Turk, he was waitin', he primed himself well;
He showered us with bullets, and he rained us with shell --
And in five minutes flat, he'd blown us all to hell,
Nearly blew us right back to Australia.

But the band played "Waltzing Matilda,"
When we stopped to bury our slain,
Well, we buried ours, and the Turks buried theirs,
Then we started all over again.

And those that were left, well, we tried to survive
In that mad world of blood, death and fire.
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself alive
Though around me the corpses piled higher.
Then a big Turkish shell knocked me arse over head,
And when I woke up in me hospital bed
And saw what it had done, well, I wished I was dead --
Never knew there was worse things than dying.

For I'll go no more "Waltzing Matilda,"
All around the green bush far and free --
To hump tents and pegs, a man needs both legs,
No more "Waltzing Matilda" for me.

So they gathered the crippled, the wounded, the maimed,
And they shipped us back home to Australia.
The armless, the legless, the blind, the insane,
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla.
And as our ship sailed into Circular Quay,
I looked at the place where me legs used to be,
And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me,
To grieve, to mourn and to pity.

But the band played "Waltzing Matilda,"
As they carried us down the gangway,
But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared,
Then they turned all their faces away.

And so now every April, I sit on my porch
And I watch the parade pass before me.
And I see my old comrades, how proudly they march,
Reviving old dreams of past glory,
And the old men march slowly, all bones stiff and sore,
They're tired old heroes from a forgotten war
And the young people ask "What are they marching for?"
And I ask meself the same question.

But the band plays "Waltzing Matilda,"
And the old men still answer the call,
But as year follows year, more old men disappear
Someday, no one will march there at all.

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda.
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
And their ghosts may be heard as they march by the billabong,
Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me?

Eric Bogle

[Denethorn]

Lestat's got me thinking of the Waterboys Again. This is one of my favourites:

The Waterboys - The Stolen Child

Come away, human child
To the water
Come away, human child
To the water and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand

Where dips the rocky highland
Of sleuth wood in the lake
There lies a leafy island
Where flapping herons wake
The drowsy water rats;
There we’ve hid our faery vats
Full of berries
And of reddest stolen cherries

Come away, human child
To the water
Come away, human child
To the water and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand

Where the wave of moonlight glosses
The dim gray sands with light
Far off by furthest rosses
We foot it all the night
Weaving olden dances
Mingling hands and mingling glances
Till the moon has taken flight;
To and fro we leap
And chase the frothy bubbles
While the world is full of troubles
And is anxious in it’s sleep

Come away, human child
To the water
Come away, human child
To the water and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above glen-car
In pools among the rushes
The scarce could bathe a star
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
We give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams

Away with us he’s going
The solemn-eyed:
He’ll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside;
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast
Or see the brown mice bob
Around and around the oatmeal-chest

For he comes, the human child
To the water
He comes, the human child
To the water and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand
From a world more full of weeping than he can understand
Human child
Human child
With a faery, hand in hand
From a world more full of weeping than he can understand...
Than he can understand...
He can understand...

Megadeth - Angry Again

The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you’re wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow!

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity’s got my bones
It pulls my flesh away

The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture it’s jaw to let me be
A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, again

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow!

To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by

We survivalists, turned to consumers
Just to get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Ask me why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen like Norman Mailer http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters ... ler_n.html
Mi abuela raised three daughters all by herself, with no help
I think about her struggle and I find the strength in myself
These words, melt in my mouth
They hot, like the jail cell in the South
Before my nigga Core bailed me out
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We do or die like Bed-Stuy http://www.nyc-architecture.com/BES/BedStuy.htm through the red sky
with the window of the red eye
Let the lead fly, some G. Rap http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/kool_g_ ... tist.jhtml ****, "Livin' to Let Die"

[Chorus: Background singers]
This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
And I've been thinkin - I got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

[Talib and background singers]
(ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)
(ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)

[Verse 2: Talib]
We keep it gangster say "fo shizzle", "fo sheezy" and "stayin crunk"
its easy to "pull a breezy", "smoke trees", and "we stay drunk"
Yo, I activism - attackin the system, the blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison they victim lackin in the vision
**** and all they got is rappin to listen to
I let them know we missin you, the love is unconditional
Even when the condition is critical, when the livin is miserable
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bull****tin you
Now, why would I lie? Just to get by?
Just to get by, to get fly
The TV got us reachin for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin for parts
Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers
Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the Father
They need somethin to rely on, we get high on all types of drugs
When, all you really need is love
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Our parents sing like John Lennon, "Imagine all the people", watch
we rock like Paul McCartney from now until the last Beatle drop

[Chorus: Background singers]
This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my high's, and my low's
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
And I've been thinking - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

[Talib: repeat 2X - with background singers]
Yo yo yo yo, yo
Some people cry,and some people try
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
You love to eat and get high
We decieve when we lie, and we keepin it fly

Yo yo yo yo, yo
When, the people decide, to keep a disguise
Can't see the eyes, see the evil inside
But there's people you find
Strong or feeble in mind, I stay readin the signs yo yo yo yo yo

Ballad Of Dwight Fry -Alice Cooper

Mommy where's daddy? He's been gone for so long.
Do you think he'll ever come home?

I was gone for fourteen days
I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
lyin on the floor

I was gone for all those days
but I, was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
in the danger zone

See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my only mind explode
Since I've gone away

I think I lost some weight there
and I---I'm sure I need some rest
Sleepin don't come very easy
in a straight white vest

Should like to see that little children
She's only four years old
I'd give her back all of her play things
even, even the ones I stole

See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
when I've gone insane

I wanna get out of here
I wanna, I wanna get out of here
I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here
IgottagetoutahereIgottagetoutahereIgottagetoutahere
Ya gotta let me out of here
Let me outta here
I gotta get outta here
Let me outta here
I gotta get outta here
Let me outta here
I gotta get outta here

See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my only mind explode
Blow up in my face

I grabbed my hat and I got my coat
and I, I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
and so I am not free

I DIDN'T WANNA BE
I DIDN'T WANNA BE
I DIDN'T WANNA BE
(See my lonely life unfold)
I DIDN'T WANNA BE
(I see it every day)
LEAVE ME ALONE I DIDN'T WANNA BE
DON'T TOUCH ME!!!!
See my lonely mind explode
when I've gone INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNE!

Did someone say Alice Cooper...?

PICK UP THE BONES by ALICE COOPER

Collecting pieces of my family in an old pillow case
This one has a skull but it don't have a face
These look like the arms of father so strong
And the ring on this finger means my grandmother’s gone

Here's some legs in a cloud where my sister once played
Here's some mud made of blood and these teeth are decayed
The ear of my brother, the hand of a friend
And I just can't put 'em back together again

Pick up the bones
And set them on fire
Follow the smoke going higher and higher
Pick up the bones
And wish them goodnight
Pray 'em a prayer and turn out the light

There are stains on the floor where kitchen once stood
There are ribs on the fire place mixed with the wood
There are forces in the air, ghosts in the wind
Some bullets in the back and some scars on the skin

There were demons with guns who marched through this place
Killing everything that breathed, they're an inhuman race
There are holes in the walls, bloody hair on the bricks
And the smell of this hell is making me sick

Pick up the bones
And set them on fire
Follow the smoke going higher and higher
Pick up the bones
And wish them goodnight
Pray them a prayer and turn out the light

Pick up the bones
And set them on fire
Follow the scope going higher and higher
Pick up the bones
And wish them goodnight
Pray them a prayer and turn out the light

Now maybe someday the sun's gonna shine
Flowers will bloom and all will be fine
But nothing will grow on this burnt cursed ground
'Cause the breathe of the death is the only sound

[Aramant]

Lovefool- The Cardigans

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem.
You love me no longer, I know,
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do.
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother,
that I ought to stick to another man,
a man that surely deserves me.
But I think you do!

So I cry, and I pray and I beg:

Love me, love me!
Say that you love me!
Fool me, fool me!
Go on and fool me!
Love me, love me!
Pretend that you love me!
Leave me, leave me,
just say that you need me!

So I cried, and I begged for you to
love me, love me!
Say that you love me!
Leave me, leave me,
just say that you need me!
I can't care about anything but you...

Lately I have desperately pondered,
spent my nights awake, and I wonder
what I could have done in another way
to make you stay.
Reason will not reach a solution.
I will end up lost in confusion.
I don't care if you really care,
as long as you don't go.

So I cry, I pray, and I beg:

Love me, love me!
Say that you love me!
Fool me, fool me!
Go on and fool me!
Love me, love me!
I know that you need me!
I can't care about anything but you...
