Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Pulp: Wickerman
Just behind the station, before you reach the traffic island, a river runs thru' a concrete channel.
I took you there once; I think it was after the Leadmill.
The water was dirty & smelt of industrialisation
Little mesters coughing their lungs up & globules the colour of tomato ketchup.
But it flows. Yeah, it flows.
Underneath the city thru' dirty brickwork conduits
Connecting white witches on the Moor with pre-raphaelites down in Broomhall.
Beneath the old Trebor factory that burnt down in the early seventies.
Leaving an antiquated sweet-shop smell & caverns of nougat & caramel.
Nougat. Yeah, nougat & caramel.
And the river flows on.
Yeah, the river flows on beneath pudgy fifteen-year olds addicted to coffee whitener
And it finally comes above ground again at Forge Dam: the place where we first met.
I went there again for old time's sake
Hoping to find the child's toy horse ride that played such a ridiculously tragic tune.
It was still there - but none of the kids seemed interested in riding on it.
And the cafe was still there too
The same press-in plastic letters on the price list & scuffed formica-top tables.
I sat as close as possible to the seat where I'd met you that autumn afternoon.
And then, after what seemed like hours of thinking about it
I finally took your face in my hands & I kissed you for the first time
And a feeling like electricity flowed thru' my whole body.
And I immediately knew that I'd entered a completely different world.
And all the time, in the background, the sound of that ridiculously heartbreaking child's ride outside.
At the other end of town the river flows underneath an old railway viaduct
I went there with you once - except you were somebody else -
And we gazed down at the sludgy brown surface of the water together.
Then a passer-by told us that it used to be a local custom to jump off the viaduct into the river
When coming home from the pub on a Saturday night.
But that this custom had died out when someone jumped
Landed too near to the riverbank
Had sunk in the mud there & drowned before anyone could reach them.
I don't know if he'd just made the whole story up, but there's no way you'd get me to jump off that bridge.
No chance. Never in a million years.
Yeah, a river flows underneath this city
I'd like to go there with you now my pretty & follow it on for miles & miles, below other people's ordinary lives.
Occasionally catching a glimpse of the moon, thru' man-hole covers along the route.
Yeah, it's dark sometimes but if you hold my hand, I think I know the way.
Oh, this is as far as we got last time
But if we go just another mile we will surface surrounded by grass & trees & the fly-over that takes the cars to cities.
Buds that explode at the slightest touch, nettles that sting - but not too much.
I've never been past this point, what lies ahead I really could not say.
I used to live just by the river, in a dis-used factory just off the Wicker
The river flowed by day after day
"One day" I thought, "One day I will follow it" but that day never came
I moved away & lost track but tonight I am thinking about making my way back.
I may find you there & float on wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take me.
Wherever the river may take us.
Wherever it wants us to go.
Wherever it wants us to go.
I took you there once; I think it was after the Leadmill.

Magnetic Fields: I Don't Want to Get Over You:
I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through
What I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right?
And just smile all night
At somebody new
Somebody not too bright
But sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you
'Cause I don't want to get over love
I could listen to my therapist
Pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of
What I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again
And pretend it's enough
Or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
Like I was seventeen
That would be a scream
But I don't want to get over you
I guess I could take a sleeping pill
And sleep at will
And not have to go through
What I go through
I guess I should take Prozac, right?
And just smile all night
At somebody new
Somebody not too bright
But sweet and kind
Who would try to get you off my mind
I could leave this agony behind
Which is just what I'd do
If I wanted to
But I don't want to get over you
'Cause I don't want to get over love

Pretend you don't exist
And not have to dream of
What I dream of
I could listen to all my friends
And go out again
And pretend it's enough

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
So many from Tom Waits to choose from, but since this is in my head right now:
Alice (Tom Waits)
It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice
Alice (Tom Waits)
It's dreamy weather we're on
You waved your crooked wand
Along an icy pond with a frozen moon
A murder of silhouette crows I saw
And the tears on my face
And the skates on the pond
They spell Alice
I disappear in your name
But you must wait for me
Somewhere across the sea
There's a wreck of a ship
Your hair is like meadow grass on the tide
And the raindrops on my window
And the ice in my drink
Baby all I can think of is Alice
Arithmetic arithmetock
Turn the hands back on the clock
How does the ocean rock the boat?
How did the razor find my throat?
The only strings that hold me here
Are tangled up around the pier
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane
To go skating on your name
And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
And so a secret kiss
Brings madness with the bliss
And I will think of this
When I'm dead in my grave
Set me adrift and I'm lost over there
And I must be insane

And by tracing it twice
I fell through the ice
Of Alice
There's only Alice

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Since Waits has come up several time, here is one of my favorites from him:
16 Shells Fro a Thirty-Ought-Six
I plugged 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
and a Black Crow snuck through
a hole in the sky
so I spent all my buttons on an
old pack mule
and I made me a ladder from
a pawn shop marimba
and I leaned it up against
a dandelion tree
And I filled me a satchel
full of old pig corn
and I beat me a billy
from an old French horn
and I kicked that mule
to the top of the tree
and I blew me a hole
'bout the size of a kickdrum
and I cut me a switch
from a long branch elbow
Chorus
I'm gonna whittle you into kindlin'
Black Crow 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
whittle you into kindlin'
Black Crow 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
Well I slept in the holler
of a dry creek bed
and I tore out the buckets
from a red Corvette, tore out the buckets from a red Corvette
Lionel and Dave and the Butcher made three
you got to meet me by the knuckles of the skinnybone tree
with the strings of a Washburn
stretched like a clothes line
you know me and that mule scrambled right through the hole
Repeat Chorus
Now I hold him prisoner
in a Washburn jail
that strapped on the back
of my old kick mule
strapped it on the back of my old kick mule
I bang on the strings just
to drive him crazy
I strum it loud just to rattle his cage
strum it loud just to rattle his cage
Repeat Chorus
16 Shells Fro a Thirty-Ought-Six
I plugged 16 shells from a thirty-ought-six
and a Black Crow snuck through

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
My Best Friend - Hello Saferide
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
You call me up in the mornings
We’ll stay on the phone until dawning
You tell me secrets I actually keep
You call me up around noon and
Bring me all the good gossip
You hold my head when I throw up
I hold your hand when you weep
And we talk about friends
And we talk about records
Talk about life
And we’ll talk about death
And we dance in the living room
Dance on the sidewalks, dance in the movies
Dance at the festivals, dance, dance
No men ever really dance like this
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was, and that you were, too
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was, So I could fall in love with you
You call me up in the evenings
And tell me what they did this time
No matter what, I’m by your side
When it’s raining, we’ll go to the video store
We even like the same movies
No damn jedis or hobbits, this time!
And you laugh at my jokes
And I laugh at your jokes
And I even like the birthday presents you get me
And we dance in the living room
Dance on the sidewalks
Dance in the movies
Dance at the festivals
Let’s dance, dance
No men ever really dance like this
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was, and that you were, too
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was, So I could fall in love with you
So I could fall in love with you
Why don’t,Why don’t I fall?
Why don’t,Why don’t I fall?
Why don’t I just fall in love with you?
Why don’t,Why don’t I fall?
Why don’t,Why don’t I fall?
Why don’t I just fall in love with you?
Why don’t,Why don’t I fall?
Why don’t,Why don’t I fall?

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Tu Me Manques - Nicole Croisille
Tu me manques y'a rien à faire
tu me manques pas de mystère
pourquoi ce coeur fracturé
ne peut se détacher
Ton image est gravée
mon rêve s'est envolé
dans un écrin de soleil
ma vie ou la pluie c'est pareil
Tu me manques j'y crois encore
tu me manques l'amour est fort
comment pourrais-je accepter
que le ciel vienne à tomber?
Tu me manques, ça va passer
tu me manques, j'suis déchirée.
Je n'trouve que ces mots-là
pour te dire je t'aime 100 fois.
Tout les jours s'agrandit ce petit bout d'amour
celui qu'j'avais construit pour toi jour après jour
j'aurais voulu te dire les mots qu'on ne dit pas
apprendre à les écrire te les chanter tout bas.
Tu me manques trop tard le soir
Tu me manques, je garde espoir
Je sais que quelqu'un là-haut, nous à porter ce soir
nous à laisser le temps, le temps d'un sentiment
Même si la vie souvent fait battre mon coeur à contre-temps.
Tu me manques, as-tu compris?
Tu me manques, j'ai froid la nuit.
Montréal ou Paris, où es-tu, trop loin d'ici ?
Tu me manques je te l'ai dit
Tu me manques j'attends les cris
Je ne trouve que ces mots-là pour te dire je t'aime 100 fois
Tu me manques...
Tu me manques...
Tu me manques...
Tu me manques...
tu me manques pas de mystère
pourquoi ce coeur fracturé

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
I'm generally a happy person, but a couple of my favorites are:
Hopeless - The Wrens
Oh, no
Not this time too
I'm the only one you got to use
And if I tell you all this could be
Nothing more than a way to leave you
Would you want me?
And now you're sorry
For the things you did to me
I want you to know
I feel I was the one who
Got used and used to
Just about anything you would tell me
But those days are more than over now
Don't you say you want me to stay
Now you've got to get away,
You've got to get away,
Go find someone who wants you
Someone to pray to
Get on your knees to
Lay down and please you too
It just won't be me ever again
Hopeless
That this will turn out better
This isn't what i wanted
I should've listened to them
Go thank yourself for nothing
It's really all you're good for
And every year you wasted
And every half-assed offer
This Is A Fire Door Never Leave Open - The Weakerthans
Headlights race towards the corner of the dining room.
Half illuminate a face before they disappear.
You breathe in forty years of failing to describe a feeling.
I breathe out smoke against the window,
Trace the letters in your name.
Our letters sound the same,
Full of all our changing
That isn't change at all.
All straight lines circle some time.
You said, "Somewhere there's a box full of replacement parts
To all the tenderness we've broken or let rust away.
Somewhere sympathy is more than just a way of leaving.
Somewhere someone says, 'I'm sorry.'
Someone's making plans to stay."
So tell me it's okay.
Tell me anything, or
Show me there's a pull,
Unassailable,
That will lead you there,
From the dark, alone,
Benevolence that you've never known,
Or you knew when you were four and can't remember.
Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams,
And the silence knows what your silence means,
And your metaphors, as mixed as you can make them,
Are linked, like days, together.
I still hear trains at night
When the wind is right.
I remember everything
Lick and thread this string
That will never mend you or tailor more
Than a memory of a kitchen floor,
Or the fire door that we kept propping open.
And I love this place, the enormous sky,
And the faces, hands that I'm haunted by,
So why can't I forgive these buildings,
These frameworks labeled "Home"?
Hopeless - The Wrens
Oh, no
Not this time too

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Restless, Restless
Gesimondo and Favale
You wore your purple dress
I put on my dancing shoes
A night like all the rest
I didn’t have a clue
I picked you up at ten
And to a fault you were quiet
I didn’t know it then
That I was off your diet
You said you needed time to think for yourself
While all the time you're thinking ‘bout somebody else
Now I can tell by the look on your face
That someone else has taken my place
What’s his name?
What’s his name?
What’s his name?
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
It happens all the time
I love you
I love you
I like you
She's changed her mind
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
She starts to feel that way
You used to leave her
Breathless
Now you leave her with nothing to say
You never said it
Not even to this day
You made sure I read it
But you never signed your name
Now you tell your friends
How I left you in haste
But you don’t tell them
'bout this after taste
Now I can tell by the look on your face
That someone else has taken my place
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
It happens all the time
I love you
I love you
I like you
She's changed her mind
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
She starts to feel that way
You used to leave her
Breathless
Now you leave her with nothing to say
Gesimondo and Favale
You wore your purple dress
I put on my dancing shoes
A night like all the rest
I didn’t have a clue
I picked you up at ten
And to a fault you were quiet
I didn’t know it then
That I was off your diet
You said you needed time to think for yourself
While all the time you're thinking ‘bout somebody else
Now I can tell by the look on your face
That someone else has taken my place
What’s his name?
What’s his name?
What’s his name?
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
It happens all the time
I love you
I love you
I like you
She's changed her mind
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
She starts to feel that way
You used to leave her
Breathless
Now you leave her with nothing to say
You never said it
Not even to this day
You made sure I read it
But you never signed your name
Now you tell your friends
How I left you in haste
But you don’t tell them
'bout this after taste
Now I can tell by the look on your face
That someone else has taken my place
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
It happens all the time
I love you
I love you
I like you
She's changed her mind
Restless
[Restless, Restless]
She starts to feel that way
You used to leave her
Breathless
Now you leave her with nothing to say

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Because You Live - Jesse Maccartney
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cuz of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Love of Loveless - Eels
Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
If there's a god up there
Something above
God, shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
Don't have too many friends
Never felt at home
Always been my own man
Pretty much alone
I know how to get through
And when push comes to shove
I got something that you need
I got the love
Love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
For love of the loveless
All around you people walking
Empty hearts and voices talking
Looking for and finding
Nothing
Don't got a lot of time
Don't really care
Not selling anything
Buyer beware
If there's a god up there
Something above
God, shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
For love of the loveless
Don't got a lot of time
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
Love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
For love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
Don't give a damn
Don't tell me what to do
I am the man
If there's a god up there
Something above
God, shine your light down here
Shine on the love
Love of the loveless
Love of the loveless
Don't have too many friends
Never felt at home
Always been my own man
Pretty much alone

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
A Thousand Kisses Deep - Leonard Cohen
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
You lose your grip, and then you slip
Into the Masterpiece.
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
Confined to sex, we pressed against
The limits of the sea:
I saw there were no oceans left
For scavengers like me.
I made it to the forward deck.
I blessed our remnant fleet –
And then consented to be wrecked,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
I’m turning tricks, I’m getting fixed,
I’m back on Boogie Street.
I guess they won’t exchange the gifts
That you were meant to keep.
And quiet is the thought of you,
The file on you complete,
Except what we forgot to do,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
And sometimes when the night is slow,
The wretched and the meek,
We gather up our hearts and go,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat . . .
The ponies run, the girls are young,
The odds are there to beat.
You win a while, and then it’s done –
Your little winning streak.
And summoned now to deal
With your invincible defeat,
You live your life as if it’s real,
A Thousand Kisses Deep.

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Gatekeep - Feist
Well it's time to begin as the summer sets in
It's the scene
You set for new lovers
You play your part painting in a new start
But each gate will open another
June July and August said
"It's probably hard to plan ahead"
June July and August said
"It's better to bask in each others"
Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper you held your breath
Made the summer go on and on
Well they tried to stay in from the cold and wind
Making love and making their dinner
Only to find that the love that they grew in the summer
Froze
February April said
"Don't be fooled by the summer again"
February April said
"That half of the year, well we'll never be friends"
Gatekeeper seasons wait for your nod
Gatekeeper you held your breath
Made the winter go on and on
Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper
Seasons wait for your nod
It's the scene
You set for new lovers
You play your part painting in a new start
But each gate will open another
June July and August said
"It's probably hard to plan ahead"
June July and August said
"It's better to bask in each others"

The Begining - Ayaka
ないて ないてねむった
めざめたつぎのあさ
あなたがとなりにいた
すべてみたされるしゅんかん

めのまえにあるすべてが
きえさってしまっても
このしゅんかんがあれば

りょうてひろげ そらをとんで
ぜんぶ ぬぎすててしまえば
このからだと このこころだけ
うまれたときのまま

みゅーとしてしまおう

みみをすましていればいい
いつからだろう そんなことも
わすれてしまっていたみたい
こどものように おおきなこえで
ないてみればいい
Take me back to the point where I began
'cause my voice goes on
now and ever

"One Voice"
This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singing with you
Helping each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of all of us
Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice
"One Voice"
This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of voices two

This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony

Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust

This is the sound of one voice

A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
Leonard Cohen
"Joan Of Arc"
Now the flames they followed Joan of Arc
as she came riding through the dark;
no moon to keep her armour bright,
no man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, "I'm tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
a wedding dress or something white
to wear upon my swollen appetite."
Well, I'm glad to hear you talk this way,
you know I've watched you riding every day
and something in me yearns to win
such a cold and lonesome heroine.
"And who are you?" she sternly spoke
to the one beneath the smoke.
"Why, I'm fire," he replied,
"And I love your solitude, I love your pride."
"Then fire, make your body cold,
I'm going to give you mine to hold,"
saying this she climbed inside
to be his one, to be his only bride.
And deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and high above the wedding guests
he hung the ashes of her wedding dress.
It was deep into his fiery heart
he took the dust of Joan of Arc,
and then she clearly understood
if he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
but must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
MC 900 Foot Jesus
"The City Sleeps"
stealin' down an alley on a cold dark night
i see a halo in the rain 'round a street light
i stop and look and listen to the sound
as the raindrops penetrate the silence all around
alone, i gaze into the glistening street
the distant thunder
echoing my hearbeat
urging me on to a secret goal
away from the light from this lamp on a pole
so i turn
slip away into the rain
drifting like a spirit through the shadows in the lane
clutching the tools of my trade in my hand
an old box of matches and a gasoline can
darkness envelops the scene like a shroud
a veil of emptiness hangs from the clouds
filling up the cracks in this desolate place
cradled by the night in an icy embrace
i move through the town like a ghost in the rain
a dim reflection in a dark windowpane
blackness beckons from every side
creeping all around like an incoming tide
a broken window in an empty house
i slip inside and begin to douse
the whole place with the fuel that will feed the fire
and push back the night, taking me higher
on out of the darkness
in a deafening roar
the match in my hand is the key to the door
a simple turn of the wrist will suffice
to open a passage to paradise
i pause
think about the past in the gloom
the smell of gasoline permeates the room
everyone has a little secret he keeps
i light the fires while the city sleeps
the match makes a graceful arch to the floor
time stands still as I turn for the door
which explodes in a fireball and throws me to the street
i hit the ground running with the flames at my feet
reaching for the night
which recoils from the fire
the raindrops hiss like a devilish choir
dying in the flames with a terrible sound
calling all the names of sleepers all around
but then in the arms of the night they lay
their dreams
sprout wings and fly away
out of their houses in a gathering flock
swarming overhead as I hurry down the block
i make my escape with the greatest of ease
and safe in the darkness, i drop to my knees
a light in this window, my hand on the latch
i reach in my pocket
and pull out a match

Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy
"Televison: The Drug of the Nation"
One Nation under God
has turned into
One Nation under the influence
of one drug
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
T.V., I.T. satellite links
our United States of unconciousness
Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive
the methadone metronome pumping out
150 channels 24 hours a day
you can flip through all of them
and still there's nothing worth watching
T.V. is the reason why less than ten percent of our
Nation reads books daily
Why most people think Central America
means Kansas
Socialism means unamerican
and Apartheid is a new headache remedy
absorbed in it's world it's so hard to find us
It shapes our minds the most
maybe the mother of our Nation
should remind us
that we're sitting to close to. . .
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
T.V. is
the stomping ground for political candidates
Where bears in the woods
are chased by Grecian Formula'd
bald eagles
T.V. is mechanized politic's
remote control over the masses
co-sponsered by environmentally safe gases
watch for the PBS special
It's the perpetuation of the two party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
Where sound bite politics are served to
the fastfood culture
Where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it
Race baiting is the way to get selected
Willie Horton or
Will he not get elected on . . .
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
T.V. is it the reflector or the director?
Does it imitate us or do we imitate it
Because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
twelve years old and we wonder how we've created
a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than abhor the horror
T.V. is the place where
armchair generals and quarterbacks can
experience first hand
the excitement of video warfare
as the theme song is sung in the background
Sugar sweet sitcoms
that leave us with a bad actor taste while
pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars
You saw the video
You heard the soundtrack
Well now go buy the soft drink
Well, the only cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A. (Cost of Living Allownace)
On Television.
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
Back again, "New and Improved",
we return to our irregularly programmed schedule
hidden cleverly between heavy breasted
beer and car commericals
CNN ESPN ABC TNT but mostly B.S.
Where oxymoronic language like
"virtually spotless" "fresh frozen"
"light yet filling" and "military intelligence"
have become standard
T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like "recession" to "necessary downturn"
"crude oil" on a beach to "mousse"
"Civilian death" to "collateral damages"
and being killed by your own Army
is now called "friendly fire"
T.V. is the place where the pursuit
of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple

Because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
twelve years old and we wonder how we've created
a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than abhor the horror
T.V. is the place where
armchair generals and quarterbacks can
experience first hand
the excitement of video warfare
as the theme song is sung in the background
Sugar sweet sitcoms
that leave us with a bad actor taste while
pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars
You saw the video
You heard the soundtrack
Well now go buy the soft drink
Well, the only cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A. (Cost of Living Allownace)
On Television.
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
Back again, "New and Improved",
we return to our irregularly programmed schedule
hidden cleverly between heavy breasted
beer and car commericals
CNN ESPN ABC TNT but mostly B.S.
Where oxymoronic language like
"virtually spotless" "fresh frozen"
"light yet filling" and "military intelligence"
have become standard
T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like "recession" to "necessary downturn"
"crude oil" on a beach to "mousse"
"Civilian death" to "collateral damages"
and being killed by your own Army
is now called "friendly fire"
T.V. is the place where the pursuit
of happiness has become the pursuit of trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
On Television . . .

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER / Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix
"There must be some kind of way out of here"
Said the Joker to the Thief
"There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they, they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will ever down the line
Know what any of it is worth", hey
"No reason to get excited"
The Thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour's getting late", hey
Hey
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Their foot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey
All along the watchtower

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
The Sore Feet Song - Ally Kerr
I walked ten thousand miles, ten thousand miles to see you,
And every gasp of breath I grabbed it just to find you,
I climbed up every hill to get, to you,
I wandered ancient lands to hold, just you.
And every single step of the way, I pay,
Every single night and day,
I searched for you.
Through sandstorms and hazy dawns I reached for you.
I stole ten thousand pounds, ten thousand pounds to see you,
I robbed convenient stores coz I thought they'd make it easier.
I lived off rats and toads, and I starved for you.
I fought off giant bears and I killed them too.
And every single step of the way, I pay,
Every single night and day,
I searched for you.
Through sandstorms and hazy dawns I reached for you.
I'm tired and I'm weak, but I'm strong for you.
I wanna go home, but my love gets me through.

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
The full album isn't even put yet but Ghost writes some good shit:
From Meliora
"Cirice"
I feel your presence amongst us
You cannot hide in the darkness
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that’s calling?
I know your soul is not tainted
Even though you’ve been told so
Can you hear the rumble?
Can you hear the rumble that’s calling?
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
A candle casting a faint glow
You and I see eye to eye
Can you hear the thunder?
Can you hear the thunder that’s breaking?
Now there is nothing between us
From now our merge is eternal
Can’t you see that you’re lost?
Can’t you see that you’re lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
Can’t you see that you’re lost without me?
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
I can feel the thunder that’s breaking in your heart
I can see through the scars inside you
From Meliora

Re: Lyrics of the Songs You Love
"Dead Girls Don't Say No" by Indestroy
Lived Above A Funeral Home
Late At Night My Mind Would Roam
To All The Thing I Could Be Doing
One Night I Went To Stalk My Prey
The Viewing Was Over There She Lay
Before I Knew It I Was Screwing
Dead Girls Don't Say No
No More Waiting I'm Doing The Deed
Fulfilling Every Lustful Need
Yea It Feels So Very Good
Run My Fingers Through Long Blond Hair
Put Both Her Legs Up In The Air
Feels Just Like I Knew It Would
Dead Girls Don't Say No
Feeling Good Letting Loose
Filling Her With My Hot Juice
My Fun Is Over It's Time For Me To Go
She Was Good And Very Sweet
For A Lifeless Piece Of Ice Cold Meat
Too Bad She'll Never Know
Dead Girls Don't Say Much At All
Cards And Flowers All Around
But She Didn't Move Or Make A Sound
Took It All And Never Complained
Some Like 'Em Hot I Like 'Em Dead
Better In A Coffin Than In A Bed
I Don't Need Her For Her Brains
Dead Girls Don't Say No
Lived Above A Funeral Home
Late At Night My Mind Would Roam
To All The Thing I Could Be Doing
One Night I Went To Stalk My Prey
The Viewing Was Over There She Lay
Before I Knew It I Was Screwing
Dead Girls Don't Say No
No More Waiting I'm Doing The Deed
Fulfilling Every Lustful Need
Yea It Feels So Very Good
Run My Fingers Through Long Blond Hair
Put Both Her Legs Up In The Air
