Song Lyrics

Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

Metallica - Sanitarium

The song that got me hooked on Metallica:

Enter Sandman

Say your prayers little one
don't forget, my son
to include everyone

tuck you in, warm within
keep you free from sin
till the sandman he comes

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

something's wrong, shut the light
heavy thoughts tonight
and they aren't of snow white

dreams of war, dreams of liars
dreams of dragon's fire
and of things that will bite

sleep with one eye open
gripping your pillow tight

exit light
enter night
take my hand
off to never never land

now I lay me down to sleep
pray the lord my soul to keep
if I die before I wake
pray the lord my soul to take

hush little baby, don't say a word
and never mind that noise you heard
it's just the beast under your bed,
in your closet, in your head

exit light
enter night
grain of sand

exit light
enter night
take my hand
we're off to never never land

ok - the track that got me into Metallica - erm - many moons ago now

In the days of Cliff Burton and not Jason Newkid

Guilty as charged
but dammit it, it ain't right
there is someone else controlling me

Death in the air
strapped in the electric chair
this can't be happening to me

Who made you god to say
'I'll take your life from you!!'

Flash before my eyes
now it's time to die
burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Wait for the sign
to flick the switch of death
it's the beginning of the end

Sweat chilling cold
as I watch death unfold
consciousness is my only friend

My fingers grip with fear
what am I doing here?

Flash before my eyes
now it's time to die
burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

Someone help me
oh please God help me
they are trying to take it all away
I don't want to die

Time moving slow
the minutes seem like hours
the final curtain call I see

How true is this?
just get it over with
if this is true, just let it be

Wakened by horrid scream
freed from this frightening dream

Flash before my eyes
now it's time to die
burning in my brain
I can feel the flame

It is a real shame I cannot describe the wonderous riffs in text

Whoops sorry - Ride The Lightning by Metallica

Please this one is better.

For Whom The Bell Tolls - Metallica

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun on they run through the endless grey
On they fight for they are right, yes but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill why? they do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the ski just before you die
It's the last time you will

Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goals fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whomt he bell tolls

Don't forget this one. *sigh, I really need to go back there*

Welcome Home (Sanitarium)

Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our Hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

"They Love Each Other"
Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia
Copyright Ice Nine Publishing; used by permission

Merry run around
sailing up and down
just looking for a shove
in some direction--
got it from the top
it's nothing you can stop
Lord, you know they
made a fine connection
They love each other
Lord, you can see it's true

He could pass his time
'round some other line
But you know he
chose this place beside her
Don't get in the way
there's nothing you can say,
Nothing thay you need
to add or do
They love each other
Lord, you can see it's true

It's nothing they explain
it's like a diesel train--
you better not be there
when it rolls over
And when that train rolls in
you don't know where it's been
You gotta try and see
a little further

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 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 killing 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 too 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 goodbye

You seem to post a great deal for a lurker

As Lord of Lurkers, I am exempt from the natuural law of things.

I think we could rename this thread Megadeth and Metallica

Actually, my favorite Metallica sond is The Thing That Should Not Be, but I can't remember all the words.

(I can play the guitar note for note though)

"Lithium" By Nirvana

I'm so happy because today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, cause so are you...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze...
Cause I've found god - hey, hey, hey
I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head...
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard...
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there...
But I don't care
I'm so horny but that's okay...
My will is good - hey, hey, hey
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I kill you - I'm not gonna crack

I could post my lyrics but so you young metal heads don't think it wasn't happenning proper in the Pliestocien...

(Don't Fear) The Reaper by Donald Roeser
©1976 B. O'Cult Songs, Inc.

All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone

Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain (We can be like they are)
Come on, baby (Don’t fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (Don’t fear the reaper)
We’ll be able to fly (Don’t fear the reaper)
Baby, I’m your man

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

Valentine is done
Here but now they’re gone

Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
Forty thousand men and women everyday (Like Romeo and Juliet)
Forty thousand men and women everyday (Redefine happiness)
Another forty thousand comin’ everyday (We can be like they are)
Come on, baby (Don’t fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (Don’t fear the reaper)
We’ll be able to fly (Don’t fear the reaper)
Baby I’m your man

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear that she couldn’t go on
And the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared (Saying don’t be afraid)
Come on, baby (And she had no fear)
And she ran to him (Then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (She had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (She had become like they are)
Come on, baby (Don’t fear the reaper)

As I feel the need, without knowing why, to show my sensitive side, I have decided to post a sweet little ballad by Thunder, entitled A Better Man.

Once in a while, I drift in time
To a place in my memory, that it stil hurts to find
I was taking on the world with a see-thru smile
But dying on the inside all the while
I was, dying on the inside all the while

Like a martyr that don't want sympathy
I locked away my feelings
And threw away the key
It was gonna take a miricle to peirce my pride
And you were the tower of strength that tried
When your lovin' washed right over me like the tide

And now I believe in love
(I believe in love)
I believe in love
(I believe in love)
Your the reason why I can

Cause when I look at myself in the mirror
I see a better man
A Better man

Yes its hard finding words that can say how I feel about you
I don't care if it sounds like another old cliche
But I can't stand the thought of livin' my life without you
For even a day

And now I believe in love
(I believe in love)
I believe in love
(I believe in love)
Your the reason why I can

Cause when I look at myself in the mirror
I see a better man
A Better man

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Thu Nov 08, 2001 9:31 pm

I don't know if you are familiar with The Residents (the guys who used to have big eyeballs at their heads and never revealed their identities) - one of my favorite bands since early teens.

Moisture

Someone saw a strange amount
Of moisture on her lips
And it was also seen upon
Her arms and on her hips

No one knows exactly
Who she was or how she died
But when they opened up her purse
They found a snail inside

Suburban Bathers

Suburban bathers own the sea
But just between you and me
The sun has never fully set
That's seen the bathers fully wet

I see the sea,
The sea sees me

They seem to run to morning light
And crash the boards between the night
If they'd learn to love themselves
They might survive the murky depths

I see the sea,
The sea sees me

If I'd learn to love myself
I might survive the murky depths

Amber

Life is just a situation
Life is just a game
Life is just a whirlpool
And it's calling out my name

Amber were the autumn leaves
And amber was her skin
Amber was the evening
When the whirlpool pulled her in

It was irresistible
Was what she used to say
Like the sound of running horses
Early in the day

Right thread this time... Ugh!

My favorite song right now, Alchemy of Love by Christopher Franke, (Tenchi Muyo! in Love, English version)
Come to you across the divide
looking out a wrinkle in time
there is nothing less I would do
than to stand up for truth

In the cold dark ways
of this lonely place
I will warm you, hold you

*****A gold shield glistens
and your breath quickens
I stand close by over you

*Two hands held strong and sure with
the power of one
reach out past the walls
that can hold you

**We are guardians and warriors
come form somewhere to mind
what creates you and shapes
the Alchemy of Love

***There is a chain of light
out across the endless skies
and I see the energy that
relfects me in your eyes
and keeps us both alive
and keeps us both alive

Evening and the shadows will come
to destroy what we have done
but always will the power of love
shine a light bright as the sun

****When the cold dark waves on
the shores break
I am around you, found you
A gold sword fires and night expires
a long night surrounding you

* Repeat
** Repeat
*** Repeat
**** Repeat
***** Repeat
{Repeat * and ** twice}

Family - by New Model Army

Joey puts her make up on really well
She looks cool in the flashing lights
And all the boys gossip about the shape of her legs
On these muddled up and drunken nights
And if it's all got to end up between the sheets
Well she can coo like a virgin dove
But really she just doesn't want to be alone
And if you want, you can call that love

M6 southbound roadsde cafe on a wild wet windy night
There's kid in a sleeping bag huddled in a corner
Trying to beg a light
He's got 'mum' and 'dad' tattooed on his arm
From when he thought that would make it alright
He's got hope and fear on his young boys face
Another innocent taking fight, saying

Give me some place that I can go
Where I don't have to justify myself
Swimming out alone against this tide
Looking for family looking for tribe

They said go, get out, we've got our own lives to lead
Now that water is thicker than blood
And every house is divided into single flats
With their very own little welcome rug
The shopping mall it is teeming with life
Fighting for the goodies on the shelf
But there's those funny old people on the escalators
Talking to themselves, saying

Give me some place that I can go
Where I don'thave to justify myself
Swimming out alone against this tide
Looking for family looking for tribe

Well I survive on my own for a while or so
Upon a whim or a bottle of wine
Just trying to make sense of these new surroundings
I only changed my name a couple of times
Please take me back, Joey, I'm really sorry
Can we try to make a happy home?
But she's gone with someone else and they're starting a family
Trying for a clan of their own, so

Give me some place that I can go
Where I don'thave to justify myself
Swimming out alone against this tide
Looking for family looking for tribe

@all: Cool! How 'bout another BOINGO: No One Lives Forever - awesome party music.

You worry too much / You make yourself sad
You can't change fate / But don't feel so bad
Enjoy it while you can / It's just like the weather
So quit complaining brother . . . . . . .
No one lives forever!!

Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and I don't want to die

I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper
cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me (I'm as)
Clever as can be, and I'm very quick, but don't forget
No one lives forever!!!

You think you got it rough / What about your darling doggy?
Ten short years / And he's getting old and groggy
I don't think it's very fair
Cold, chop, low, but it's all relative my friend 'cause
No one lives forever!!!
Let's have a party there's a full moon in the sky
It's the hour of the wolf and I
Don't want to die (but) . . .

No one beats him at his game
For very long but just the same
Who cares, there's no place safe to hide
Nowhere to run--no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
'Cause any second it may end.
And when it's all been said and done . . .
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in a shell-Why make your life a living hell?
So have a toast, and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust ('cause) . . .
No one, no one, no one, no one . . . . . . . (etc.)
No one lives forever!! (Hey!)

Paint It Black (Jagger/Richards)

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted black, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah
