WIERD ALL YANKOWICH ~ YODA


I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S O D A, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said "Yoda"
Y O D A, Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I've been around, but I ain't never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he's wrinkled and green
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I've never ever been a Jedi before
But Obi Wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, "Go to Yoda and he'll show you the Force"

Well I'm not the kind that would argue with Ben
So it looks like I'm gonna start all over again
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

So I used the Force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won't forget what Yoda said

He said, "Luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the Force be your guide"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

"I know Darth Vader's really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you'll be unemployed"
Oh, my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I'm gonna have to leave Yoda, I guess
But I know that I'll be coming back some day
I'll be playing this part 'till I'm old and gray

The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
With my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

@ Azzy...I haven't heard that one, is it to the tune of Lola?

Freewill

Here's the lyrics to a song by the group Rush called Freewill. It's probably my favorite.

Freewill
From the Album Permanent Waves

There are those who think that life has nothing left to chance,
A host of holy horrors to direct our aimless dance.

A planet of playthings,
We dance on the strings
Of powers we cannot perceive
"The stars aren't aligned,
Or the gods are malign..."
Blame is better to give than receive.

Chorus
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

There are those who think that they were dealt a losing hand,
The cards were stacked against them; they weren't born in Lotusland.

All preordained
A prisoner in chains
A victim of venomous fate.
Kicked in the face,
You can't pray for a place
In heaven's unearthly estate.

Chorus
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

Each of us
A cell of awareness
Imperfect and incomplete.
Genetic blends
With uncertain ends
On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

Chorus
You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that's clear
I will choose freewill.

I'm on a Rush kick.

Here's the lyrics to another favorite, Red Barchetta.

Red Barchetta
From the album Moving Pictures

My uncle has a country place
That no one knows about.
He says it used to be a farm
Before the Motor Law.
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes,
And hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire
Where my white-haired uncle waits.

Jump to the ground
As the Turbo slows to cross the borderline.
Run like the wind
As excitement shivers up and down my spine.
Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty-odd years.
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car:
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time.
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar.
Tires spitting gravel,
I commit my weekly crime.

Wind
In my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge...

Well-weathered leather,
Hot metal and oil,
The scented country air.
Sunlight on chrome,
The blur of the landscape,
Every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide.
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase.

Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man.
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan.
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside.
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside.

@Chanak: Oooh! Rush! Good stuff!

Heresy

All around that dull grey world
From Moscow to Berlin
People storm the barricades
Walls go tumbling in

The counter-revolution
People smiling through their tears
Who can give them back their lives
And all those wasted years?
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?

All around that dull grey world
Of ideology
People storm the marketplace
And buy up fantasy

The counter-revolution
At the counter of a store
People buy the things they want
And borrow for a little more
All those wasted years
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?

Do we have to be forgiving at last?
What else can we do?
Do we have to say goodbye to the past?
Yes I guess we do

All around this great big world
All the crap we had to take
Bombs and basement fallout shelters
All our lives at stake

The bloody revolution
All the warheads in its wake
All the fear and suffering
All a big mistake
All those wasted years
All those precious wasted years
Who will pay?

Weißes Fleisch - Rammstein

Du auf dem Schulhof
ich zum Töten bereit
und keiner hier weiß von meiner Einsamkeit
rote Striemen auf weißer Haut
ich tü dir weh
und du jammerst laut
jetzt hast du Angst
und ich bin soweit
mein schwarzes Blut
versaut dir das Kleid

dein weißes Fleisch erregt mich so
ich bin doch nur ein Gigolo
dein weißes Fleisch erleuchtet mich

mein schwarzes Blut und dein weißes Fleisch
ich werd immer geiler von deinem Gekreisch
der Angstschweiß da auf deiner weißen Stirn
hagelt in mein krankes Gehirn

dein weißes Fleisch erregt mich so
ich bin doch nur ein Gigolo
mein Vater war genau wie ich
dein weißes Fleisch erleuchtet mich

jetzt hast du Angst und ich bin soweit
mein krankes Dasein nach Erlösung schreit
dein weißes Fleisch wird mein Schafott
in meinem Himmel gibt es keinen Gott

dein weißes Fleisch erregt mich so
ich bin doch nur ein Gigolo
dein weißes Fleisch erleuchtet mich
mein Vater war genau wie ich
dein weißes Fleisch erregt mich so
ich bin ein trauriger Gigolo
dein weißes Fleisch erleuchtet - mich


And translated it's

White Flesh - Rammstein

You in the schoolyard
I 'm ready to kill
and nobody here knows of my loneliness
Red welts on the white skin
I 'm hurting you and you are loudly whimpering
Now you are scared
And I am ready
My black blood soils your dress

Your white flesh excites me so
I am just a gigolo
Your white flesh enlightens me

My black bloodyour white flesh
I 'm getting more and more excited by your screams
The sweat of fear on your white forehead
It is hailing into my sick brain

Now you are scared and I am ready
My sick existence screams for redemption
Your white flesh becomes my scaffold
There is no god in my heaven

My father was just like me
Your white flesh excites me so
I am just a gigolo
Your white flesh enlightens me

Well as you all can see, Ive gotten a new 80's compilation CD (2 actually) and they had plenty of songs Ive never heard (Including "The Lunatics (Have taken over the asylum)" and "I Eat Cannibals") so thats why Im on a lyric spree!

Now up, a really cool song:

The Cutter by Echo and the Bunnymen

Cut it up...
Cut it up...

Who's on the seventh floor
Brewing alternatives?
What's in the bottom drawer
Waiting for things to give?

Spare us the cutter.
Spare us the cutter.
Couldn't cut the
Mustard.

Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching.
Say we can, say we will,
Not just another drop in the ocean.

Come to the free for all
With celo-tape and knives.
Some of us 6 feet tall,
We will escape our lies.

Spare us the cutter.
Spare us the cutter.
C-couldn't cut the
M-m-mustard.

Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching.
Say we can, say we will,
Not just another drop in the ocean.

Am I the happy loss?
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost?
Am I the worthy cross?
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off?

Conquering myself until
I see another hurdle approaching.
Say we can, say we will,
Not just another drop in the ocean.

Watch the fingers close
When the hands are cold.

Am I the happy loss?
Will I still recoil
When the skin is lost?
Am I the worthy cross?
Will I still be soiled
When the dirt is off?

@CE, I had no idea that you were a beck fan...our psychic relationship gets creepier and creepier...

Anyway, Kam was put off Beck for life by an exceptionally bad set he did in Oxford two summers ago - It was an acoustic solo set (all songs from Melow Gold, plus some of the more miserable moments from Mutations, plus Beautiful Way, of course), which would have been perfect late summer melancholy country...only it was raining, and Supergrass had just been on . Maybe we can create a committee dedicated to bringing one lone Oxford boy the full joys of Beck's funky bad self...

Of course I am a Beck fan! The guy is one of the few who really adds something creative to popular music!

Horrible, horrible, Kam shouldn't let one single gig put him off like that, he just has to listen more to Beck!


I'm not a Madonna fan, but this lyrics has got something....

Erotica

Erotica, romance (repeat)
My name is Dita
I'll be your mistress tonight
I'd like to put you in a trance

If I take you from behind
Push myself into your mind
When you least expect it
Will you try and reject it
If I'm in charge and I treat you like a child
Will you let yourself go wild
Let my mouth go where it wants to

Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body (repeat twice)
Erotic, erotic

Once you put your hand in the flame
You can never be the same
There's a certain satisfaction
In a little bit of pain
I can see you understand
I can tell that you're the same
If you're afraid, well rise above
I only hurt the ones I love

Give it up, do as I say
Give it up and let me have my way
I'll give you love, I'll hit you like a truck
I'll give you love, I'll teach you how to ...

I'd like to put you in a trance, all over
Erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body (repeat twice)
Erotic, erotic

Erotica, romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body

I don't think you know what pain is
I don't think you've gone that way
I could bring you so much pleasure
I'll come to you when you say
I know you want me
I'm not gonna hurt you
I'm not gonna hurt you, just close your eyes

Erotic, erotic (repeat several times)
Put your hands all over my body
All over me, all over me

Erotica, [give it up, give it up] romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, [give it up, give it up] romance
I like to do a different kind of
Erotica, [give it up, give it up] romance
I'd like to put you in a trance
Erotica, romance
Put your hands all over my body

Only the one that hurts you can make you feel better
Only the one that inflicts pain can take it away

Eroti - ca

With You - Linkin Park

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static, and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

Pre chorus:
It's true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

You
Now I see
Keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor, the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

Pre chorus
Chorus (2x)

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we’ve come
I can’t wait to see tomorrow
With you

Chorus (3x)

Well heres a song where I couldnt find an easy copy/paste lyrics from the internet-so I created it myself.

Living on the Ceiling by Blancmange

You keep me runnin' round and round
Well thats all right with me
Up and down Im up the wall Im up the bloody tree
Thats all right with me.
Yeah, thats all right with me
Well it feels all right to me
Yeah it looks all right to me

And Im so tall, Im so tall
You raise me and then you let me fall.
Im so small Im so small
Wrapped around your finger.
Watch me fall
Here we go....

*guitar and keyboard solo*

You keep me runnin round and round
Well thats all right with me.
Nothing is, nothing is gonna step in my way
Living on the ceiling
No more room down there
Things fall into place, You got to jump to fall in place

And Im so tall, Im so tall
You raise me and then you let me fall.
Im so small Im so small
Wrapped around your finger.
See me fall
Here we go....

*guitar and keyboard solo*

You keep me runnin' round and round
Well thats all right with me
Up and down, Im up the wall, Im the bloody tree.
Hiding from your questions, questions you wont ask
Why am I up the tree you say? Why are you down there? I say:

And Im so tall, Im so tall
You raise me and then you let me fall.
Im so small Im so small
Wrapped around your finger.
See me fall
Hey!

*guitar and keyboard solo*

Great live band and probably the strangest bunch of guys and gals you could ever meet.

Rage Against The Machine - Born of a Broken Man


My fears hunt me down
Capturing my memories
The frontier of loss
They try to escape across the street where
Jesus stripped bare
And raped the spirit he was supposed to nurture
In the name of my in the name of my

Born of a broken man
But not a broken man
Born of a broken man
Never a broken man

Like autumn leaves
His sense fell from him
An empty glass of himself
Shattered somewhere within
His thoughts like a hundred moths
Trapped in a lampshade
Somewhere within
Their wings banging and burning
On through endless nights
Forever awake he lies shaking and starving
Praying for someone to turn off the light

Born of a broken man
But not a broken man
Born of a broken man
Never a broken man

imagination - clan of xymox

i have come to indecision
someone is pushing me
all the cities, subways, rivers
no direction left for me
i have lost my way home early
i don't care 'cause i won't stay there
all i hear is this silent whisper
will you be here again

[ch-]
imagination takes the shadows away
everyday i've been without you
imagination keeps the shadows away
everyday i stay without you
too many times, without you

i have seen your eyes in purple
i have seen your eyes in blue
all the flowers, tears and faces
all the days i spent with you
again and again i've been escaping
i've been lost in the dark i fear
can you hear this silent whisper
will you be here again

[ch]

choose and change you say
how can you let this run away
see the storms through your broken window
see the beauty of the falling rain
everyday i've been without you
everyday shadow follows me
can't you see you left your traces
in too many faces

All of my purple life
I've been looking for a dame
That would wanna be my wife
That was my intention, babe

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone

Everytime I comb my hair
Thoughts of you get in my eyes
You're a sinner, I don't care
I just want your creamy thighs

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me

All of my hang-ups are gone
How I wish you felt the same
We can funk until the dawn (Until the dawn)
How I wish u were my dame (Baby won't u call my name)

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone
Erotic City can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me

Baby, you're so creamy

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time
Thoughts of pretty you and me, Erotic City come alive
We can funk until the dawn, making love 'til cherry's gone ('Til the dawn)
Erotic City can't you see, thoughts of pretty you and me

If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time (U and me)
Some time, some time, some time, Erotic City
If we cannot make babies, maybe we can make some time

PRAYER - Disturbed
Another dream that will never come true
Just to compliment your sorrow
Another life that I've taken from you
A gift to add on to your pain and suffering
Another truth you can never believe
Has crippled you completely
All the cries you're beginning to hear
Trapped in your mind, and the sound is deafening

Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray

[Chorus]
Living just isn't hard enough
Burn me alive, inside
Living my life's not hard enough
Take everything away

Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening

Let me enlighten you
This is the way I pray

[chorus]

Return to me
Leave me no one
Turn to me
Return to me
Cast aside

You've made me turn away

[chorus]

Its taken quite a while for this song to grow on me, but its just a damn fine rock song.

Wonderboy - Tenacious D

High above the mucky muck
Castle made of clouds
There's it's wonder boy
Sitting oh so proudly
Nothing much to say
Than your high above the mucky muck
Yeah, yeah

Wonder boy, what is the secret of your power
Wonder boy, won't you take me far away
From the mucky muck world

Now it's time for me to tell you about young nasty men
Arch rival and nemesis of wonder boy
With powers comparable to wonder boy
What powers you ask?
I have to power of flights
Can I do anything for you?
It's levitation homes
I'd like the power to kill a yak
From 200 yards away with mind bullets
That's challakeadus child
How about the power to move you
Mystery of wonder boy and your nasty now
Rigadoo goo rigadoo goo
The secret to be told
A gold chess to be bold
And blasting for a 3 foot harmony oooh

Wonder boy, what is the secret of your power
Wonder boy, won't you take me far away
From the mucky muck world

A wonder boy and young nasty men they joined forces
They formed a band the lights of which never be seen
And they called themselves Tenacious D
Thats like me and KG thats me and thats Tenacious D
Come fly with me, fly!

Wonder boy, what is the secret of your power
Wonder boy, won't you take me far away
From the mucky muck world

more examples of my frightening music...

from black to grey - dead leaves rising (lyrics approximated)

why i cant really say -
why everyone i care about is so far away.
why i cant really say -
why everyone i care about leaves me this way.

love's been such a silly game,
though its not quite fair.
it played with me while i was unaware.

from black to grey and back again
the days they laugh and change.
they never end, and when they do,
they bring tears.

my stomach hurts today.
the acid eats it away.
its so black when it comes up,
reminds me of the day.

can i love something that makes me this way?
i loved a girl - do i love the day?
and scented nights that bring on the hurt
someday i'll find the strength
to wash it all away.

with every drop of blood
my stomach jolts, it hurts.
and as it fades away
i feel it falling.

sometimes love can't understand,
and i remain the same.
someday i'll find it in me to overcome the day.
and all i love that left me behind will speak at my remains.
the love - it felt so cold inside.
it made me cramp and fall.

and to the one who she said she loved me
but it was nothing after all.

it was nothing after all.

Different Strings
By Rush, from the album Permanent Waves

Who's come to slay the dragon?
Come to watch him fall?
Making arrows out of pointed words,
Giant killers at the call?
Too much fuss and bother,
Too much contradiction and confusion.
Peel away the mystery,
Here's a clue to some real motivation.

Chorus
All there really is,
The two of us
And we both know why we've come along.
Nothing to explain,
It's a part of us
To be found within a song.

What happened to our innocence,
Did it go out of style?
Along with our naïvete,
No longer a child.
Different eyes see different things,
Different hearts beat on different strings.
But there are times
For you and me, when all such things agree.

Chorus
All there really is,
The two of us
And we both know why we've come along.
Nothing to explain,
It's a part of us
To be found within a song.

I Will Never Be the Same


So you walked with me for a while
Bared your naked soul
And you told me of your plan
How you would never let them know
In the morning of the night
You cried a long lost child
And I tried on I tried to hold you
But you were young
And you were wild

Chorus
But I, I will never be the same
Oh I, I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same

Secrets of your life
I never wanted for myself
But you guarded them like a lie
Placed up on the highest shelf
In the morning of the night
When I woke to find you gone
I knew your distant devil
Must be draggin' you along

Chorus

And you swore that you were bound for glory
And for wanting you had no shame
But I loved you
And then I lost you
And I will never be the same

Chorus
