Song Lyrics

[Damuna_Nova]

Born to lead - Hoobastank

With eyes closed tightly,
I march so blindly,
Pretending everything's fine
'Cause you're there to keep me in line,
I don't want your guidance,
I'll break my silence,
So sick of asking and being denied,
And now I realise,
We're holding the key,
To unlock our destiny,
We were born to lead...

Heh, that's all I've heard, but, if someone has the song...then I'd be very happy indeed if they deigned fit to send me it.

[Juniper]

"How We Operate" - Gomez

Calm down
And get straight
It's in our eyes
It's how we operate

You're true
You are
I'd apologize but it won't go very far

Please come here
Come right on over
And when we collide we'll see what gets left over

A little joy
A little sorrow
And a little pride so we won't have to borrow
Wherever you lead, I'll follow

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way

Please come here
Please come on over
There is no line that you can't step right over
Without you well I'm left hollow
So can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
'Cos baby tonight I'll follow

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way

The way that we've been speaking now
I swear that we'd be friends, I swear
'Cos all these little deals go down with
Little consequences, we share, we share

Turn me inside out and upside down
And try to see things my way
Turn a new page, tear the old one out
And I'll try to see things your way

And I'm gonna love you anyway
Try to see things your way

[Denethorn]

The Cranberries - Zombie

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

[DesR85]

Got a song that was ommited from the Grand Theft Auto soundtrack album.

Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.
Oh-a oh

They took the credit for your second symphony.
Rewritten by machine and new technology,
and now I understand the problems you can see.
Oh-a oh

I met your children
Oh-a oh

What did you tell them?

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Pictures came and broke your heart.
Oh-a-a-a oh

And now we meet in an abandoned studio.
We hear the playback and it seems so long ago.
And you remember the jingles used to go.
Oh-a oh

You were the first one.
Oh-a oh

You were the last one.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind we've gone to far

Oh-a-aho oh,
Oh-a-aho oh

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

In my mind and in my car,
we can't rewind we've gone to far.

Pictures came and broke your heart,
put the blame on VCR.

You are a radio star.
You are a radio star.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star.
Video killed the radio star.

Video killed the radio star.
(You are a radio star.)

Okay... So I like Iced Earth's version of this song better than the original. Please don't hurt me

Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iced Earth

[Iron Maiden Cover]

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.

@ Damuna:

Born to Lead - Hoobastank

With eyes closed tightly,
I march so blindly.
Pretending everything's fine,
'Cause you're there to keep me in line.
I don't want your guidance,
I'll break my silence.
So sick of asking and being denied and now I realise.


We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

You can't ignore me(you can't ingnore me)
You cant think for me(you can't think for me)
Your world will come crashing down to the ground,
'Cause I figured you out.


We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

I use to think I'm ALL alone,
But now I see our numbers grow.
I'm not afraid to break away,
Think on my own

With eyes wide open,
My new life begins.
Without you there to tell me, when, where and how,
And you can't stop me now!

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead.

To find this took me three seconds: just put a line from the song between quotes (") in the google search and add the word lyrics (outside the quotes). Of course it helps if the line is something a bit more distinctive than "I love you". In this case I typed : "'Cause you're there to keep me in line" lyrics in the google search bar.

I was reminded of this by Lestat's reference to Reynart the Foxe in the online literature thread, though I have no idea if the stories are related. I had assumed this was a were-fox tale but Lestat told me vampires are dogs not bats, and he should know

Reynardine

One evening as I rambled
Among the leaves so green
I overheard a young woman
Converse with Reynardine

Her hair was black, her eyes were blue
Her lips as red as wine
And he smiled to gaze upon her
Did that sly old Reynardine

She said, "Kind sir, be civil
My company forsake
For in my own opinion
I fear you are some rake"

"Oh no," he said, "no rake am I
Brought up in Venus' train
But I'm seeking for concealment
All along the lonesome plain"

"Your beauty so enticed me
I could not pass it by
So it's with my gun I'll guard you
All on the mountains high"

"And if by chance you should look for me
Perhaps you'll not me find
For I'll be in my castle
Inquire for Reynardine"

Sun and dark, she followed him
His teeth did brightly shine
And he led her up a-the mountains
Did that sly old Reynardine

Fairport Convention

[Lestat]

And that reminds me of a narrative poem about a werefox by Neil Gaiman. (goes of to search poem and poetry thread).

[JonIrenicus]

One of my personal favorites:

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...**** you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

-The Doors

[Galuf the Dwarf]

A song that's just plain WEIRD.

I dunno why, but this song often makes me chuckle when I hear it. Otherwise, I dislike (if not outright hate) 99% of the stuff from this band (no offense intended to any fans).

Sugar Ray - Mean Machine

The only good thing thats creeping in city
Elvis had fifty but this ones mine
Japanese cars man such a pity
Am radio suits me fine
Mean machine
Mean machine
My daddy said "Son, your gonna drive me to drinkin."
Mean machine
Mean machine

Brakes are good tires fair
Every now and then I drive just to get away
Eatin up two lanes I gotta find sugar ray
Cant stop now gimme all your money
Sometimes I drive slow sometimes I drive quick
Mean machine
Mean machine
My daddy said "Son, your gonna drive me to drinkin."
Mean machine
Mean machine
My daddy said "Son, your gonna drive me to drinkin."

Dont you dare mess with my mean machine its long and slick and olive green
Dont you dare mess with my mean machine its long and slick and olive green
Dont you dare mess with my mean machine its long and slick and olive green
A 68 coupe is all I need
So dont you dare mess with my mean machine
Jesus saves domi shoots and scores
Im with stupid caught my finger in the door
Im wookin pa nub like revenge of the nerds
But my ass its a play on words
Mean machine
Mean machine
My daddy said "Son, your gonna drive me to drinkin."
Mean machine
Mean machine
My daddy said "Son, your gonna drive me to drinkin."

Dont you dare mess with my mean machine its long and slick and olive green
Dont you dare mess with my mean machine its long and slick and olive green
Dont you dare mess with my mean machine its long and slick and olive green
A 68 coupe is all I need /so dont ya dare mess with my mean machine
Dont (bleep) with it

[Fiona]

One for GoG :laugh:

New Daddy Now

I'm not the kind to hang around till dawn
And I don't wanna wake her
while she's lying there asleep
So I creep round her place and I come face to face
With a boy of five who's lookin' up at me

Chorus: He says are you my new Daddy now?
Will you be at my birthday party Saturday?
Can you take me to the park, chase these monsters from the dark?
Are you my new Daddy now?
Are you my new Daddy now?

I look in his face,
say "Kid I'm just here to rob the place
Give me that PlayStation and shut your yap
“Cos statistically if you break it down,
the reason your Daddy's not around
Is half of all marriages end in divorce
and that's a fact"

Repeat Chorus

Then I see the cop cars in the yard
Ain't it funny how a man can have a change of heart
Every kid can use a Dad to make his life fulfilled
And me, I can use a human shield

Repeat Chorus

Otis Lee Crenshaw

[Oscuro_Sol]

I fell asleep with this on repeat on my iPod. And I was right -- I had some MESSED dreams. Love the song though.

JULIA DREAM by PINK FLOYD

Sunlight bright upon my pillow
Lighter than an eiderdown
Will she let the weeping willow
Wind his branches round?

Julia dream,
Dreamboat queen,
Queen of all my dreams

Every night I turn the light out
Waiting for the velvet bride
Will the scaly armadillo
Find me where I'm hiding?

Julia dream,
Dreamboat queen,
Queen of all my dreams

Will the misty master break me?
Will the key unlock my mind?
Will the following footsteps catch me?
Am I really dying?

Julia dream,
Dreamboat queen,
Queen of all my dreams

Julia dream,
Dreamboat queen,
Queen of all my dreams

Julia dream,
Dreamboat queen,
Queen of all my dreams

Julia dream,
Dreamboat queen,
Queen of all my dreams.

[JonIrenicus]

:sigh: still more warnings

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow,
Tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out

Before I get out
I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face

Today is the greatest
Day I've ever known
Can't wait for tomorrow
I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings

Today is
Today is
Today is
The greatest day

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Today is the greatest
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day
That I have ever really known

Today, Smashing Pumpkins

[Fiona]

Closer to God

You turned all my dreams into nightmares
But you won't turn my water to wine
Now you don't handle me like that rosary
I've seen you carressing now and again
s there one law for you and another for me?
Is it written in some ancient text?
Are the wings of retreat well attached to your feet?
Do you think of me often when you're with your friend?
Do you cringe a bit now and again?

Are you closer to God than the folk you despise?
Are we closer to God than the ants and the flies?
Is your idea of heaven my idea of hell?
When you get to those gates will your friend come as well?
Will the good lord preserve you in pickle or brine?
Well if I catch you first then he won't get the time
I'm all out of pity, you're all out of line
But remember you used to be mine
Remember you used to be mine

Are you closer to God than the folk you despise?
Are we closer to God than the ants and the flies?
Is your idea of heaven my idea of hell?
When you get to those gates will your friend come as well?
Does the lord keep you warm in her bed every night?
Are your prayers in the morning just squeals of delight?
Has my mind disappeared now the flesh is so weak?
I notice you always say nothing to me
I notice that we never speak
I notice that we never speak

I notice that we never speak

[snoopyofour]

Tell me all your thoughts on God
cause I'm on my way to meet her

------------------------------

All our loves have to die of that there's no help
but my favorite way to end them
is the orbweavers spider whose pedipalp
enters the female's pudendum
Then he dies on the spot his corpse there still stuck
left for his rivals to curse at.
He would rather die than not get to f_____.
And personally I reckon its worth it.

-----------------------------------

In spite of all the shame
sometimes I hear your name
and think of us when we were younger
and I'm shutting out the noise
and trying to hear the voice
that used to tell me love was stronger

--------------------------

I believed in your confusion
so completely torn
it must have been that yesterday
was the day that I was born

[dragon wench]

I've always liked the haunting quality of this song

Ice

The ice is thin come on dive in
Underneath my lucid skin
The cold is lost, forgotten
Hours pass days pass time stands still
Light gets dark and darkness fills
My secret heart forbidden...
I think you worried for me then
The subtle ways that I’d give in but I know
You liked the show
Tied down to this bed of shame
You tried to move around the pain but oh
Your soul is anchored

The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me, a lie upon your lips
Offer what you can, I’ll take all that I can get
Only a fool’s here...

I don’t like your tragic sighs
As if your God has passed you by well hey fool
That’s your deception
Your angels speak with jilted tongues
The serpent’s tale has come undone you have no
Strength to squander

The only comfort is the moving of the river
You enter into me, a lie upon your lips
Offer what you can, I’ll take all that I can get
Only a fool’s here to stay
Only a fool’s here to stay
Only a fool’s here...

Sarah McLachlan

[TonyMontana1638]

The Clash were big fans of Murvin and their cover of this song from their debut album may be better known...

"Police and Thieves"
-Junior Murvin

Police and thieves in the streets
Oh yeah!
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the street
Oh yeah!
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition

From Genesis to Revelation
The next generation will be hear me
From Genesis to Revelation
The next generation will be hear me

And all the crowd comes in day by day
No one stop it in anyway
And all the peacemaker turn war officer
Hear what I say

Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah
Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah
From Genesis oh yeah
Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah

Scaring, fighting the nation
Shooting, shooting their guns and ammunition

Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah
Police, police, police and thieves oh yeah
Here come, here come, here come
The station is bombed
Get out get out get out you people
If you don't wanna get blown up

[Fiona]

Don't Come the Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim


Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts
Can make you feel nothing at all
They'll never remember and they'll never mind
If you're counting the cracks in the wall
They're quick and they're greedy
They never feel guilty
They don't know the meaning of hurt
The boots just go back on
The socks that had stayed on
The next time they see you
They treat you like dirt
The next time they treat you like dirt

Now don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart
It's all I've got left to me now
I fell out of favour with Heaven somewhere
And I'm here for the hell of it now
Some girls play cowboys
And some boys play harder to get
But they're got just the same
They smile and say cheese
They're so eager to please
But they'll never remember your name
The names and the places all change

But don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

Did somebody tell you I'm lonely as hell?
I didn't expect you to know me so well
If I learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again
Sometimes I bounce off the wall
And sometimes my head hits the floor

So don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy, oh
Don't come the cowboy with me Sonny Jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

Snow Patrol - "Chasing Cars"

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

[Lestat]

The sink discussion in SYM reminded me of this song

Rode Wijn - Bram Vermeulen

M'n bed is 's nachts maar half beslapen
De helft van m'n boeken nam ze mee
De helft van mijn salaris is ruim voldoende
Slapen doe ik nu voor twee
De platen waren allemaal van mij
Ik draai ze net zo hard ik kan
De televisie mocht ze houden
Alsof ik niet zonder kan
Wat een bestaan wat een luize leven
Het kan niet stuk - wat een geluk
Rode wijn, rode wijn
Kom laat ons vrolijk zijn

Ik drink me elke avond in beroerte
Eten heb ik weken niet gedaan
Ik pis weer net als vroeger in de wasbak
Slapen doe ik met m'n kleren aan
Wat een bestaan wat een luize leven
Het kan niet stuk - wat een geluk
Rode wijn, rode wijn
Kom laat ons vrolijk zijn

Ik ben niet meer gewend aan stilte
En zeker niet zo lang
De vrijheid die ik terug wou hebben
Maakt mij eigentlijk bang
Toch is het niet dat ik haar mis
‘t Is ongewoon nog even
Niemand, niemand heeft zich vergist
‘t Is wennen aan m’n eigen leven
Een keuken vol met vuile glazen
Het kan alleen maar beter gaan
Wie heeft dan meubels of gordijnen nodig
Ik begin van voor af aan
Rode wijn, rode wijn
Kom laat ons vrolijk zijn

Rough translation:

My bed is at night only half slept in
Half of my books she took with her
Half of my salary is more than enough
I now sleep for two
The records were all mine
I play them as hard as I can
She could keep the television
As if I couldn't do without
What a life what a cushy life
It can't go wrong - what luck
Red wine, red wine
Come let us be merry

Every night I drink myself into stupor
I haven't eaten for weeks
I piss in the sink again like before
And I sleep with my clothes on
What a life what a cushy life
It can't go wrong - what luck
Red wine, red wine
Come let us be merry

I'm not used anymore to the silence
And certainly not this long
The freedom I wanted to get back
Actually frightens me
But it's not that I miss her
It's just unusual for a while
Noone, noone got it wrong
It's getting used to my own life
A kitchen full of dirty glasses
It can only get better
So who needs furniture or curtains
I start completely anew
Red wine, red wine
Come let us be merry
