Song Lyrics

[Tamerlane]

Lola - The Kinks

I met her in a club down in North Soho
where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
C-O-L-A Cola.

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance.
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-O-L-A Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy,
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she walk like a woman but talk like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night,
under electric candlelight,
she picked me up and sat me on her knee,
She said, "Little boy won't you come home with me?"

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy,
but when I looked in her eyes,
well I almost fell for my Lola,
Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

I pushed her away. I walked to the door.
I fell to the floor. I got down on my knees.
I looked at her, and she at me.

Well that's the way that I want it to stay.
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola.
Lo lo lo lo Lola.

Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls.
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world,
except for Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola

Well I left home just a week before,
and I never ever kissed a woman before,
Lola smiled and took me by the hand,
she said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man."

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man,
but I know what I am and I bet I'm a man,
so is Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola.

Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola.
Lo lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola.
Lo lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola.
Lo lo lo lo Lola. Lo lo lo lo Lola.
Lo lo lo lo Lola.

Rape me,
Rape me, my friend
Rape me,
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Hate me,
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me, my friend

I'm not the only one [x4]

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me,
Rape me, my friend
Rape me,
Rape me again

I'm not the only one [x4]

Rape me..............

Well this group had echoes of the band Nirvana in them. They had the same essence they did. Also they had volumes of 60's style music in their songs. Their video for the song gives obvious reference to the 60's and sort of a "stoned" feeling. Really, just sort of a mellow tune. And while this song may not have the best lyrics, its certainly worth a listen, I think. Its not my typical posted lyrics, Ill tell you that. Its not really new wave. This was their lone hit of the 80's.

I Wanna Be Adored -by The Stone Roses

I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
I wanna be adored

I wanna be adored

I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me

I wanna be adored

I wanna be adored

Adored

I wanna be adored

You adore me
You adore me
You adore me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be adored
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be adored
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna be adored
I wanna, I wanna, I gotta be adored

I wanna be adored

[Xandax]

In a bit of melancholy state today - so decided to post lyrics from a song that I practically lived in my lost youth (hehe - the wild youth as some of you old timers might remember me mumbeling about some years ago )

D.A.D (original named Disneyland After Dark, but was about to get sued so they changed it to D.A.D, danish group - doubt many of you would know them : ) )

Sleeping my day away
Mumbling goodmorning & raising my head
A bad breath kiss to my pillow pet
I take a look at the day turns & stay in bed
Open my eyes when the day have died
I turned the world and I slept allright
Now my daymare is over I zip my jeans tight
Oh lord won't you bless this night...

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
I'm sleeping my day away
And when the night comes to the city I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! With my pale lips in the pillow I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
After dark is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away

When my dreams begin I'd be proud to be letting you in
With a smile on my face I guide our dreamboat in
So if you wanna travel along with me
You better sleep tight the rest of the day
You see I could be a sleeper it's not rest I lack
'Coz I hit the sack when the suns coming back

From the pale lips of a youth who lay
I'm sleeping my day away
And when the night comes to the city I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! With my pale lips in the pillow I say:
I'm sleeping my day away
That after dark - is the game I play
I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day, I'm sleeping my day
I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! Now I've turned the world around yeah! I did it again
I'm sleeping my day away
And now I have to wear my shades down sleepers lane
I'm sleeping my day away
Yeah! All the good people have gone to bed again
I'm sleeping my day away
'Coz the devil's at work inside my brain
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away
I'm sleeping my day away I'm sleeping my day away away...

Also this song, wich has a special meaning to me, from about same periode (hey said I was melancholy tonight )

Alice Copper

Might as well be on mars

The city streets are wet with rain tonight
Taxi drivers swerve from lane to lane
A lonely guitar man playin' down the hall
Midnight blues comin' through the walls

I tried to call you on the telephone
I left it off the hook
Just to hear it ring
You told me you were better off alone
I never knew that tears could stain

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all the cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach you is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

The city seems so old and grey and beat
It closes in and makes me wanna suffocate
And you just live across the street
But that's a billion miles away

You've turned my world into a dark and lonely place
Like a planet lost in space, my light is fadin'
I'd cross the universe to be right where you are
But I'm right in your backyard
And I might as well be on Mars

CHORUS
I might as well be on Mars
You can't see me
I might as well be the Man on the Moon
You can't hear me
Oh, can you feel me so close
And yet so far
Baby, I might as well be on Mars

Baby, I can't fly
If I could I'd come down to ya
Maybe I should try

I'm on the roof and I'm starin' at the stars
Lookin' down at all lthe cars
I can see you
In the window of your favorite corner bar
But to reach is just too far
And I might as well be on Mars

CHORUS

[Tamerlane]

@ Tybs. Stone Roses are a great band.

All My Life - Foo Fighters

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

Come down don't you resist
You have such a delicate wrist
And if I give it a twist
Something to hold when I lose my breath
Will I find something in that
So give me just what I need
Another reason to bleed
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve
ONE BY ONE hidden up my sleeve

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find a believer
Another one who believes
Another one to deceive
Over and over down on my knees
If I get any closer
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on I've got nothing to hide
On and on I've got nothing to hide

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

All my life I've been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
Nothing satisfies but I'm getting close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope
All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around then it's taken away
Leaves me with the feeling that I feel the most
The feeling comes to life when I see your ghost

And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one
And I'm done, done and I'm on to the next one

Hey don't let it go to waste
I love it but I hate the taste
Weight keeping me down

Done done and on to the next one
Done I'm done and I'm
On to the next.

[Lazarus]

Forever and a day

I heard this one today, and it seems appropriate to all the debating and discussion goin on ....

Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing

If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own

I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected

If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone

I would be patient but it takes so long
I don't want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day

If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me

One Night in the City
by Ronnie James Dio

Oh, Johnny was a dark child...
He was promised to us all.
But riders in the night, can lift you out of sight
When they call...
That's all.

My, Sally was a princess
And She was chosen for the crown.
But chains can't stop the sound
Of one night in the city...
One night looking pretty.

Then someone opened doorways...
And Johnny slipped away.
Running for the bright, where dark is always light
There's no day...

The princess saw the dark child,
And the dark child said her name.
Come steal away, we'll play the game...

Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me?
I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream...
I'm your poor, I'm your sure, I'm your holy, I'm your pure...
I can tell you tales you just might not believe...

Of one night in the city,
one night looking pretty.

One night in the city, one night looking pretty...

The children shared the wonder,
Of the leather and the lace...
But one child went away, and one child stayed to play
For one night in the city.

[Chanak]

Caught in the Middle
by Ronnie James Dio

Looking inside of yourself...
You might see someone you don't know.
Maybe it's just what you need ,
Letting the river in you flow.

You can sail away to the sun...
And let it burn you while you can.
Or walk a long bloody road,
Like the hero who never ran.

You'll feel it...You'll feel it
You'll feel the rush of it all...

Flying away into the clouds...
You know you're losing your control.
Finding your way in the dark,
Like some poor forgotten soul.

You'll feel it...You'll see it...
You'll feel the rush of the city lights.
You'll feel it...I see it in your eyes... you're
Caught in the middle,
Just like the way you've always been.
Caught in the middle,
Helpless again...

Looking inside of yourself...
You might see someone you don't know.
Maybe it's just what you need,
Letting the river I know that's in you flow.

You'll feel it...You'll see it...
You'll feel the rush of thunder.
You'll feel it...I see it in your eyes, you're
Caught in the middle
Just like the way you've always been
Caught in the middle,
Helpless again.

*ahem* "echoes of the band Nirvana", you really should learn your musical chronology Tybs.

However, the Stone Roses were fabulous. More so on their self-titled debut album than on Second Coming, but then, it's all good. They were part of the same Manchester scene that produced Joy Division/New Order and the Happy Mondays. They were really big in the UK. And Ian Brown got chastised for singing things like "I am the resurrection" etc. And there's a place in Sydney that plays loads of decent music like the Stone Roses on Thursday nights, and I can't go because of work, dagnabit! Silly piece of trivia: John Squire (great guitarist) was in a band called Seahorses after the Roses broke up... and Seahorses is an anagram of "rose ashes".

I'm bored

Hey, I must like the Machester scene then. Glad there is a fan base for the Stone Roses here, thoughI dont know too many more of their songs...And Im even more pleased that I actually found some group that both Georgi and Tam like that I also like. Wow.

Anyways...I think Ill post lyrics relavent to many happenings, everywhere, it seems...

Two Different Views -The Fixx

Big ideals I can't suppress
Little lies I can't detect
Through pleasure, pain, delight and wonder
But there's the rub of irony
Where the indecision slices me
From high of highs to depths of sorrow
There will always be.

Two different views of the same thing
Two many views that can collide
There will always be two different views
Too many views with loaded pride.

Emotions sway from side to side
Devotion preys upon my pride
Will I respect the winner in the battle for my mind
Jealousies and dumb regrets
Wasting time just beckons death
Here today and gone tomorrow
There will always be.

Two different views of the same thing
Two many views that can collide
There will always be two different views
Too many views with loaded pride.

As I stray from either side
Too confused to fantasize
Like a judge who needs forgiveness.

Is there peace for two as one
What divides, be undone
Regain the pulse of what was priceless
There will always be.

There will always be two different views
Too many views with loaded pride.

Evanescence - Bring me to life

how can you see into my eyes, like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb
without a soul
my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

[Chorus]
(wake me up) wake me up inside (i can't wake up) wake me up inside
(save me) call my name and save me from the dark
(wake me up) bid my blood to run (i can't wake up) before I come undone
(save me) save me from the nothing I've become

now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

[Chorus]

bring me to life
I've been living a lie
there's nothing inside
bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch, without your love, darling
only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more

bring me to life

[Chorus]

I've been living a lie
there's nothing inside
bring me to life

This Love

This love
This love is a strange love
A faded kind of mellow
This love

This love
I think I'm gonna fall again
And even when you held my hand
It didn't mean a thing, this love

This love
Now rehearsed we stay, love
Doesn't know it is love
This love

This love
It hasn't have to feel love
It hasn't need to be love
It hasn't mean a thing
This love

This love loves love
It's a strange love, strange love

This love
This love
This love is a strange love, strange love
I'm gonna fall again
It doesn't mean a thing
Think I'm gonna fall again
This love

Maybe having an 8-year-old little boy has inspired me to post these.. Or maybe I have somehow warped into the sixties



Puff the Magic Dragon

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff. Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes
Would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag
When Puff roared out his name. Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.

One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon,
He ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow,
Green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play
Along the cherry lane.

Without his life-long friend,
Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave. Oh!

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee

Seal
Crazy

In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child know
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on that breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Cray cray crazy
Crazy are the people walking through my head
One of thems got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Get it, get it, get it, yeah!
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe then maybe then maybe then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy
No no we'll never survive unless we get a little bit
A man decides to go along after seventy years
Oh darlin
In a sky full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
In a world full of people only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
Crazy
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly
Ain't that crazy
Oh babe Oh darlin'
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy
Isn't that crazy Isn't that crazy Isn't that crazy
Ohh
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
No no never survive unless we get a little bit
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday
Only child know
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before
Someday

Crushed by the Wheels of Industry -Heaven 17

Call me in the morning just before the breakfast show
We'll watch TV and analyse the weather
Before we go to work we'll have planned the day ahead
We'll while away the working day together
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
If you want to play
Some are nurses
Some steal purses
Some are workers
Some are not
It is time for a party
Liberation for the nation now!

Crushed by the wheels of industry

There's a party going on that's going to change the way we live
but how do we know we've even been invited
Now the invitation's waiting and the table is reserved
So just play it cool and don't get excited
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
Will we ever change
It's vocation or vacation
Some are workers
some are not
It is time for a party
Syncopation for the nation now

Crushed by the wheels of industry


Breaking in the future just before the week is up
They can do it but it's going to take some money
Have what you desire if and when you see the fact
They will lead us to the land of milk and honey
Work all day or work all night it's all the same
If you want the pay
Some drive tankers
Some are bankers
Some are workers
Some are not
It is time for a party
Liberation for the nation now!

Kiss Off -by the Violent Femmes

I need someone a person to talk to
someone who'd care to love
could it be you? could it be you?
situation gets rough then I start to panic
it's not enough it's just a habit
hey kid you're sick well darling this is it
You can all just kiss off into the air
behind my back I can see them stare
they'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
they'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
(yeah yeah) yeah they do it all the time
they do it all the time (do it all the time)


I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record...
oh, yeah, well, don't get so disstressed.
Did I happen to mention that I am impressed?

I take one one one 'cause you left me
and two two two for my family
and three three three for my heartache
and four four four for my headaches
and five five five for my loneliness
six six six for my sorrow
seven seven n n n no tomorrow
and eight eight I forget what eight was for
but nine nine nine for the lost god
ten ten ten ten for everything! everything! everything! Everything!

And you can all just kiss off into the air
behind my back I can see them stare
They are hurting me bad but I don't mind
they are hurting me bad but they do it all the time
yeah, they yeah do it all the time
yeah, they do it all the time
yeah, yeah! they do it all the time.
(they do it all the time)
they do it all the time

Nine Inch Nails
Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of ****
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Just for the record - Johnny cash's version sucks...the instrumentation is fine I guess but I really hate his voice

You know enough to know the way
Six billion people just one name (I found)
I found tomorrow in today
Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change
You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time

Stand out on the edge of the earth

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face

I know you know enough to say
I know you know enough to play a game

You wanna be the one in control
You wanna be the one who's alive
You wanna be the one who's old
It's not a matter of luck, it's just a matter of time

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center ??
Walk right inside of ??
Look into the still future space

Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right inside of the gun
Look into the new future's face

(Stand out on the edge of the earth)

Stand out on the edge of the earth
