Now that the 'what is attractive' post has died, I feel the need to make another thread people will get annoyed at me for.

No not really.

I'm looking for lyrics that people love! Please don't paste the whole song, just snippets, however many you want, be sure to include the artist and song.


MINE

"I ran down the stairs and into the garden, put both my hands into the soil. In the spring, you will bloom like her heart through the blouse in the back of the ambulance. As it turned and turned in the streets (just one more turn, would you come back to me?) as it turned on its red lights, you were turning into red roses."
--Thursday, "Steps Ascending"


"Standing on the edge of the palisade's cliffs in the shadow of the skyline, it seemed so very far away like a lightning rod that couldn't pull the storm from me. [...] So we park these cars in our parents' garage and listen to the lullaby of carbon monoxide."
--Thursday, "War All The Time"


"With a short story, the one you add to daily, you are the tragic loss. No story book ending for this fairy tale of you. Just the one composed with blood taken from your pen that you hold in your lifeless hand. Cry for you. Shed tears. Mourn. Wish the end."
--From Autumn to Ashes, "Short Stories With Tragic Endings"

"I drug (sic) your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death. In every city, memories would whisper, Here is where you rest. [...] Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest with its hands stretched towards the calendar hanging itself but I will not weep for those dying days. "
--Bright Eyes, "The Calendar Hung Itself"


"Sifting through weathered photo albums looking for gloriously aged polaroids of places you have never been. A place to accept that you don't really exist. "Smile for the camera sweet heart, I really want to immortalize this moment" but just remember the first step in forgetting is destroying all the evidence. with friends like you who needs subtext. THIS IS A 44. CALIBER LOVE LETTER STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART."
--Alexisonfire, "44. Caliber Love Letter"


THERE ARE WAY MORE OF COURSE BUT THESE ONES WILL DO FOR NOW

YOUR TURN

Where do I begin, with this life we're living in
Market youth their uniform, make us all fit in
But do you think, that we're that blind?
That we can't see through all your lies?
~LostProphets Burn Burn~

With you its never good enough, because you want the stuff that could change your future...
Your lifes amongst a sea of chance and the more you dance it just gets you sinking deeper...
~Lostprophets To Hell we Ride~

To all the fights I've conquered and behold
The times have changed and I will now move over slowly...
The truth is I still feel lost without you
Hard to find a new soul
The silence takes its toll
~Lostprophets Sway~

A chance they'd never give
To ever want to live
The life that i am made of
There's nothing left to prove
My heart's forever true
What is it they're afraid of?
Afraid of.....

So what should i do
Just lay next to you
As though i'm unaffected
And who should i be
When they're judging me
As though i'm unaffected?
~Hoobastank Unaffected~

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
~Hoobastank The Reason~

Write these words back down inside
We have burned their villages and all the people in them died
We adopt their customs and everything they say we steal
All the dreams they had we kill
Still we all sleep sound tonight
Is this what you wanted to hear?
We erased all their images and dance
And replaced them with borders and flags
~Thursday Autobiography of a Nation~

thats a good start.. plus the entire song my last breath by evanescence makes me cry

Life is too short, so love the one you got, cause you might get run over or you might get shot. Never had to battle with my bulletproof vest, never start no static just to get it off my chest. Take a small example, take a tip from me, take all your money give it up to charity. Love's what I, within my reach, the Sublime style's still straight from long beach. It all comes back to you, your bound to get what you deserve, try and test, you're bound to get served. Love's what i got, don't start a riot, you'll feel it when the dance gets hot.

"The woman I’m thinking of, she loved me all up
But I’m so down today
She’s so fine, she’s in my mind.

See the lonely boy, out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay.
Can’t relate to joy, he tries to speak and
Can’t begin to say."
Neil Young, "Out on the Weekend."

"Well some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone I ever seen
he moves just like crisco disco
breath 100% listerine
he says looking at something else
but directing everything to me
anytime anyone gets on their knees to pray
well it makes my telephone ring
and I'll be damned."

Stuff by The Who:

I'm not into your passport pictures,
I just like your nose.
-"You Better You Bet"

Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
I just want to die with you near
I'm feeling so high with you here.
I'm wet and I'm cold
But thank God I ain't old
Why didn't I ever say what I mean?
I should have split home at fifteen.
There's a story that the grass is so green,
What did I see?
Where have I been?
Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand
-"Sea and Sand"

People try to put us down
Just because we get around
Things they do look awfully cold
I hope I die before I get old
Why don't you all fade away?
And don't try to dig what we all say?
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation
I'm just talking 'bout my generation
-"My Generation"

Laugh and say I'm green
I've seen things you'll never see.
Talk behind my back
But I'm off the beaten track.
I'll take on anyone
Ain't scared of a bloody nose,
Drink till I drop down
With one eye on my clothes.
-"Dr. Jimmy"

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
-"Won't Get Fooled Again"

Why should I care
If I have to cut my hair?
I've got to move with the fashions
Or be outcast.
I know I should fight
But my old man he's really alright,
And I'm still living at home
Even though it won't last.
Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents
Five inches long.
I'm out on the street again
And I'm leaping along.
I'm dressed right for a beach fight,
But I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling is still
Here in my brain.
-"Cut My Hair"

Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, rush over me.
-"Drowned"

It seems that it's pretty clear by now what kind of music I like, pretty angry music. However, The Who are amazing in that their music is both angry, yet beautiful, and occasionally funny. I definitely think their Quadrophenia album, which is about teenagers and their messed up issues, has helped me keep sane at times.

"Still Don't Give a ••••"

[Eminem]
A lot of people ask me.. am I afraid of death..
Hell yeah I'm afraid of death
I don't want to die yet
A lot of people think.. that I worship the devil..
that I do all types of.. retarded ••••
Look, I can't change the way I think
And I can't change the way I am
But if I offended you? Good
Cause I still don't give a ••••

I'm zonin off of one joint, stoppin a limo
Hopped in the window, shoppin a demo at gunpoint
A lyricist without a clue, what year is this?
•••• a needle, here's a sword, bodypierce with this
Livin amuk, never givin a ••••
Gimme the keys I'm drunk, and I've never driven a truck
But I smoke dope in a cab
I'll stab you with the sharpest knife I can grab
Come back the next week and re-open your scab (YEAH!)
A killer instinct runs in the blood
Emptyin full clips and buryin guns in the mud
I've calmed down now -- I was heavy once into drugs
I could walk around straight for two months with a buzz
My brain's gone, my soul's worn and my spirit is torn
The rest of my body's still bein operated on
I'm ducked the •••• down while I'm writin this rhyme
Cause I'm probably gonna get struck with lightnin this time

[Chorus:]

For all the weed that I've smoked - yo this blunt's for you
To all the people I've offended - yeah •••• you too!
To all the friends I used to have - yo I miss my past
But the rest of you •••••••• can KISS MY ASS
For all the drugs that I've done - yo I'm still gon' do
To all the people I've offended - yeah •••• you too!
For everytime I reminisce - yo I miss my past
But I still don't give a ••••, y'all can KISS MY ASS

[Eminem]
I walked into a gunfight with a knife to kill you
And cut you so fast when your blood spilled it was still blue
I'll hang you til you dangle and chain you with both ankles
And pull you apart from both angles
I wanna crush your skull til your brains leaks out of your veins
And bust open like broken water mains
So tell Saddam not to bother with makin another bomb
Cause I'm crushin the whole world in my palm
Got your girl on my arm and I'm armed with a firearm
So big my entire arm is a giant firebomb
Buy your mom a shirt with a Slim Shady iron-on
And the pants to match ("Here momma try em on")
I get imaginative with a mouth full of adjectives,
a brain full of adverbs, and a box full of laxatives
(Shittin on rappers) Causin hospital accidents
God help me before I commit some irresponsible acts again

[Chorus]

[Eminem]
I wanted an album so rugged nobody could touch it
Spend a million a track and went over my budget (Ohh ••••!)
Now how in the •••• am I supposed to get out of debt?
I can't rap anymore - I just murdered the alphabet
Drug sickness got me doin some bugged twitches
I'm withdrawn from crack so bad my blood itches
I don't rap to get the women - •••• bitches
Give me a fat slut that cooks and does dishes
Never ran with a click - I'm a posse
Kamikaze, strappin a motherfuckin bomb across me
From the second I was born, my momma lost me
I'm a cross between Manson, Esham and Ozzy
I don't know why the •••• I'm here in the first place
My worst day on this earth was my first birthday
Retarded? What did that nurse say? Brain damage?
••••, I was born during the earthquake

[Chorus]

By Daggerlee (Daggerlee) on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 - 07:05 am: Edit

We would dance like no one was watching
With one fist in the air
Our arena just basements and bookstores across an underground America
With this fire we could light
Just gimme a scene where the music is free
And the beer is not the life of the party
There's no need to •••• talk or impress
'Cause honesty and emotion are not looked down upon
And every promise that's made and bragged
is meant if not kept
We'd do it all because we have to, not because we know why
-Reinventing Axl Rose

For a justice I could not change.
This is one voice not to forget;
"Fight every fight like you can win;
An iron fisted champion,
An iron willed f*** up."
-Walking is still Honest

If it's not angry young and beautiful, I don't want any part of it.
-I Am Citizen

All three are by Against Me!. Check' em out, yo!

"I can't imagine all the
People that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand all the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big dreams...

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say the present's just a pleasent
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all this hope
You had sent into the sky by now had
Crashed
And it did, because of me."
-Something Corporate, "Konstantine"


"I've got a hunger
Twisting my stomach into knots
That my tongue has tied off
My brain's repeating
'If you've got an impulse, let it out'
But they never make it past my mouth...
Our youth is fleeting
Old age is just around the bend
And I can't wait to go gray
I'll sit and wonder
Of every love that could have been
If I'd only thought of something charming to say"
-Death Cab for Cutie, "The Sound of Settling"


"It's all about the icing
Nobody cares about whats inside
You could see the outside face
It looks good it must be great
And I know that is all you see
What would it matter anyway
'Cause I could see right through
Your pretty, pretty skin today."
-The Early November, "Pretty Pretty"


"We only receive what we demand
And if we want hell, the hell's what we'll have"
-Jack Johnson "Cookie Jar"


"I should have known
That you were a killer
But now I'm dead"
-Senses Fail, "One Eighty Seven"


All of "Your Own Disaster" by Taking Back Sunday


"No more messing around
And living underground
And new years resolutions
By this time next year, I won't be here
I turn on, turn on MTV
The volume's down
lips move, they say
'It'll be okay'

To tell you the truth I've said it before
Tomorrow I start in a new direction
One last time these words from me
I'm never saying them again
And I shut the light
And listen as my watch unwinds."
-Guster "Come Downstairs and Say Hello"


"Scars are souvenirs you never lose
And the past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
Don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?"
-That Goo Goo Dolls song, I don't know what it's called.


"I'll go and hope the new me shows
So everybody knows
That I've found myself able to fly away
Without magic feathers
Or Jefferson aeroplanes
I've got with me all that I need."
-Relient K, "Jefferson Aeroplane"

"We entered Winter once again
Naked, freezing from my breath
Neath the lid all limbs tucked away
This coffin is your abode from now
and onwards
Your body is mine to avail
Such a tragic sight you are
Slave under my creed
Spurring me with those tears
I am beyond death
Midst a dreaming affinity
Saving strength now, faint whispers
Come erotic communion in its splendour
Fever mirrored ghosts
Night time consolation, cross the line
Draw murder into art
Sleep inside through days
In the wake of this relief
Shivering, longing for more
Insanity at it's peak
Love me to my death
Lost are days of Spring
You sighted and let me in
Keep the beast inside
Shackled within my hide
Screaming out too late
Losing to my hate
Grew together with your skin
And paced the trails of sin
Your gaze covered with virgin snow
Rigid features
It's the shallow deeds who is to blame
Deafening shrieks pierced the night
A step from oblivion
Moving into the dim lights
Hiding within a reverie
It was worth it for the wait alone"
"Blackwater Park"- Opeth

"Please remedy my confusion
And thrust me back to the day
The silence of your seclusion
Brings night into all you say
Pull me down again
And guide me into pain
I'm counting nocturnal hours
Drowned visions in haunted sleep
Faint flickering of your powers
Leaks out to show what you keep
Pull me down again
And guide me into
There is failure inside
This test I can't persist
Kept back by the enigma
No criterias demanded here
Deadly patterns made my wreath
Prosperous in your ways
Pale ghost in the corner
Pouring a caress on your shoulder
Puzzled by shrewd innocence
Runs a thick tide beneath
Ushered into inner graves
Nails bleeding from the struggle
It is the end for the weak at heart
Always the same
A lullaby for the ones who've lost all
Reeling inside
My gleaming eye in your necklace reflects
Stare of primal regrets
You turn your back and you walk away
Never again
Spiralling to the ground below
Like Autumn leaves left in the wake to fade
away
Waking up to your sound again
And lapse into the ways of misery"
"The Drapery Falls"-Opeth

"I linger in the doorway
of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
let me stay
where the wind will whisper to me
where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

Don't say i'm out of touch
with this rampant chaos - your reality
i know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
the nightmare i built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
and candy clouds of lullaby
i lie inside myself for hours
and watch my purple sky fly over me

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming
the goddess of imaginary light"
"Imaginary" -Evanscence

______________________________


"The loving starry sky
should make you feel touched
I'm here by your side
decorating a piece of heaven for you
I wouldn't allow you to feel sad
I'll chase away your loneliness
The weight of your unfufilled dreams
let me bear them all


Leading you by the hand
doesn't matter how strong the wind becomes
for you have me now
you'll never lose your way again.


Watching the meteor rain fall onto Earth with you
letting your tears fall on my shoulder
I want you to believe
my love will brave everything solely for you.
And I'll show you
Where Happiness lies


If you have too much sadness
Leave your heart for me to protect.
The tired fireworks
I'll chase them away for you
Flowery words Is only decorative
if I am silent that's because
I love you too much


The rain has stopped;
the clouds have parted
Leaving behind lovely warmth.
I want to share the tears in your eyes


Watching the meteor rainfall onto Earth with you
letting your tears fall on my shoulder
I want you to believe my love will brave everything solely for you.
And I'll show you
Where Happiness lies"

I plan to crawl outside these walls,
Close my eyes and see.
And fall into the heart and arms,
Of those who wait for me.
I cannot move a mountain now;
I can no longer run.
I cannot be who I was then:
In a way, I never was.

I watch the clouds go sailing;
I watch the clock and sun.
Oh, I watch myself, depending on,
September when it comes.

"September when it comes, Roseane Cash"


If the sun refuse to shine,
I don't mind, I don't mind,
If the mountains fell in the sea,
let it be, it ain't me.
Alright, 'cos I got my own world to look through,
And I ain't gonna copy you.a

White collared conservative flashing down the street,
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high.
Wave on, wave on
Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
Go ahead on Mr. Business man, you can't dress like me.

"If 6 was 9" -Hendrix

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscious seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and i blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain woe
Can show through
-"Behind Blue Eyes" The Who/ Limp Bizkit

Fumbling his confidence
And wond'ring why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments,
And failed attempts to fly, fly

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken

This party is old and uninviting
Participants all in black and white
You enter in full blown technicolor
Nothing is the same after tonight

If the world had fallen apart
In a fiction worthy wind
I wouldn't change a thing
Now that you're here

love is a verb here in my room
Here in my room, here in my room
Yes love is a verb here in my room,
here in my room, here in my room

You enter and close the door behind you
Now show me the world as seen from the stars
If only the lights would dim a little
I'm weary of eyes upon my scars

Pink tractor beam into your incision
Head spinning as free as Dervishs' whirl
I came here expecting next to nothing
So thank you for being that kind of girl

"I dreamt of a fever,
one that would cure me of this cold, winter-set heart
With heat to melt these frozen tears burned with reasons as to carry on.

Into these twisted months I plunge without a light to follow,
But I swear that I would follow anything;
just get me out of here.

But you get six months to adapt
and you get two more to leave town.
And in the event that you do adapt,
we still might not want you around.

But I fell for the promise of a life with a purpose
but I know that that's impossible now.
And so I drink to stay warm and to kill selected memories
because I just can't think anymore about that
or about her tonight.

And I give myself three days to feel better or else I
swear I'll drive right off a ••••••• cliff
because if I can't learn to make myself feel better
how can I expect anyone else to give a ••••?

And I scream for the sunlight
or a car to take me anywhere.
Just get me passed this dead and eternal snow.

Because I swear that I'm dying,
slowly, but it's happening
and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere
just take me there
just take me there
just take me there.
And say and lie to me and say and lie to me and say
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be alright.."

Elliott Smith

cut this picture into you and me
burn it backwards kill this history

From where I'm sitting, rain
Washing against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"

Whoa, Laceycheer, you actually said, "Behind Blue Eyes" The Who/ Limp Bizkit. I would never put those two together on the same line. In terms of musical talent, inventiveness, and overall greatness, they don't compare. Isn't it funny how Limp keeps trying to be The Who (and can't really succeeded at it either)? Maybe if they had real musical talent...

Again, another great thread...**applauds**

I listen to almost EVERYTHING, and since I'm trying to crank out an overdue paper, I will only post a few sets of lyrics that I really like from what I'm listening to right now and come back after with more.

Brand New- The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot

You are calm and reposed
It lets your beauty unfold
Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin
Standing trial for your sins
Holding onto yourself the best you can
You are the smell before rain
You are the blood in my veins
Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
You can forget

Incubus-Zee Deevil

Yeah, you've got your little world
Picture perfect, it's a pearl
Now go and try to sleep in the bed that you've made

Incubus- Just a Phase

I am bottled fizzy water and you are shaking me up
You are a fingernail running down the chalkboard
I thought I left in third grade
Now my only consolation is that this could not last forever
Even though you're singing and thinking
How well you've got it made

The Used- Buried Myself Alive

You almost always pick the best times,
to drop the worst lines.
You almost made me cry again this time.
Another false alarm, red flashing lights
Well this time... I'm not going to watch myself die.
I think I made it a game to play your game,
and let myself cry
I buried myself alive on the inside,
So I could shut you out,
And let you go away for a long time.

The Best Mantra in the World!!!
(Apply this to your college woes...)
...
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......

Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy...

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy.....

Something in the way she moves,
attracted me like no other lover.
Something in the way she woos,
don't wanna leave her now,
you know I believer her now.
-Beatles "Somthing"

If the son refused to shine,
I would still be loving you.
When the mountains crumble to the seas,
there would still be you and me.
-Led Zeppelin "Thank You"

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face,
stars to fill my dream.
I am a traveler of time and space,
to be where I have been.
-Led Zeppelin "Kashmir"

How many roads must a man walk down,
before you can call him a man?
-Bob Dylan "Blowin' in the Wind"

This is the mystery of the quotient-
upon us all a little rain must fall.

wow, and i thought I listened to weird stuff...
;)

here are my favorite lyrics

GENERAL: I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

ALL: With many cheerful facts, etc.

GENERAL: I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

GENERAL: I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

ALL: And whistle all the airs, etc.

GENERAL: Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.
ALL: In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

GENERAL: In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery--
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

ALL: You'll say a better Major-General, etc.

GENERAL: For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

ALL: But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
He is the very model of a modern Major-General.

What's wrong with the world, mama
People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin'
In the USA, the big CIA
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Nigga, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know)
Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love
The love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' in the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)
Where is the love (The love)

"James K. Polk" by They Might Be Giants: Not my *favorite* song, but hilarious, and very CC appropriate. Burn it onto a CD and bring it to your APUSH class.

In 1844, the Democrats were split
The three nominees for the presidential candidate
Were Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist
James Buchanan, a moderate
Louis Cass, a general and expansionist
From Nashville came a dark horse riding up
He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump

Austere, severe, he held few people dear
His oratory filled his foes with fear
The factions soon agreed
He's just the man we need
To bring about victory
Fulfill our manifest destiny
And annex the land the Mexicans command
And when the votes were cast the winner was
Mister James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump

In four short years he met his every goal
He seized the whole southwest from Mexico
Made sure the tarriffs fell
And made the English sell the Oregon territory
He built an independent treasury
Having done all this he sought no second term
But precious few have mourned the passing of
Mister James K. Polk, our eleventh president
Young Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump

But now I don't wanna down my homie

I'll be there in an instant

"we've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
"Get a job you ••••••• slob," is all he replies
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
I'm the man you've been dreaming of"
But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls"
And then she heads for the clinic and
she gets some static walking through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
before i broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start
I knew this kid named Max
who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late
he liked to get ••••-faced and keep the pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big old fight and Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some ••••, and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
You know it comes that way
at least that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like... to have to lose"

Astrobobocop-- I love Gilbert and Sullivan! And I too can quote the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes (brekekekex kowax kowax).

Just Forget Me-- <333 the James K. Polk song. And it helped me on a US History SAT II question about the Oregon territory. How sad is that?

Once I was the king of Spain
Now I eat humble pie.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?

There is a city by the sea
A gentle company
I don’t suppose you want to
And as it tells its sorry tale
In harrowing detail
Its hollowness will haunt you
Its streets and boulevards
Orphans and oligarchs it hears
A plaintive melody
Truncated symphony
An ocean’s garbled vomit on the shore,
Los Angeles, I’m yours

Oh ladies, pleasant and demure
Sallow-cheeked and sure
I can see your undies
And all the boys you drag about
An empty fellow found
From Saturdays to Mondays
You hill and valley crowd
Hanging your trousers down at heel
This is the realest thing
As ancient choirs sing
A dozen blushing cherubs wheel above
Los Angeles I love

Oh what a rush of wry belan
Languor on divans
Dalliant and dainty
But oh, the smell of burnt cocaine
The dolor and decay
It only makes me cranky
Oh great calamity,
Ditch of iniquity and tears
How I abhor this place
Its sweet and bitter taste
Has left me wretched, retching on all fours
Los Angeles, I’m yours

Cue to your face so forsaken
Crushed by the way that you cry
Cue to your face so forsaken
What a surprise

You try to break the mould
Before you get too old
You try to break the mould
Before you die

Cue to your heart that is racing
Stung by the look in your eye
Cue to your heart that is racing
What a surprise
You try to break the mould
Before you get too old
You try to break the mould
Before you die

Cue your face so forsaken
Crushed by the way that you cry
Cue your face so forsaken
Say goodbye

{monologue}
Sing for your lover
Like blood from a stone
Sing for your lover
Who's waiting at home
If you sing when youre high
And youre dry as a bone
Then you must realise
That you're never alone
And you'll sing with the dead instead

You try and break the mould,
Before you get too old
You try and break the mould,
Before you die

Time to pass you to the test. Hanging on my lover's breath.
Always coming second best. Pictures of my lover's chest.
Get through this night, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
Always falling to the floor, softer than it was before.
Dog boy - media whore, it's who the hell you take me for.

Give up this fight, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
These bonds are shackle free, wrapped in lust and lunacy.
Tiny touch of jealousy, these bonds are shackle free.

Get through this night, there are no second chances.
This time I might.
To ask the sea for answers.
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free

Get through this, there are no second chances.
This time. To ask the sea for answers.

- "Ask for Answers" by Placebo


I know, you love the song but not the singer
I know, you've got me wrapped around your finger
I know, you want the sin without the sinner
I know
I know

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know

I know, you cut me loose in contradiction
I know, I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
I know, it's asking for your benediction
I know
I know

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster
I know
I know.

Man, major props to most of you guys for your musical tastes, it makes me all warm and fuzzy when I see people that like the same music as me, especially the more obscure bands. Mmm, I'm a lyrics addict, but here are a few of my favorites:

"I remain in shadows growing wings."
"I can't help but fear / look to my species and I tremble / to think that God is just..."
-AFI (you can go ahead and add anything else AFI has ever written to this list).

"Don't try to take me down cause you know / I won't go / I don't give a d*** about it anymore / I won't go."
-Jump Little Children

"The truth is you could slit my throat / and with my one last gasping breath / I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt."
-Taking Back Sunday

"So please forgive what I have done / no you can't stay mad at the setting son / and we all get tired, I mean, eventually / there is nothing left to do but sleep."
-Bright Eyes

"Hunger hurts but starving works."
-Fiona Apple

And, Jennyzsong, I saw Thursday opening for AFI about a week ago, I didn't know them all that well, but they put on an awesome show...definitely got the thumbs up from me.

By Just_Forget_Me (Just_Forget_Me) on Sunday, March 07, 2004 - 02:52 pm: Edit

"And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt, and again when your head goes through the windshield."
- Brand New

"Excellent at breathing, especially exhaling, so that my chest will rise and fall with yours"
-Dashboard

"Men with purple hearts carry purple guns, and they kill a man for what his father has done. But what my father has done, no it don't mean s***, because I'm not him."
-Bright Eyes

"I want to pledge allegiance to the country where I live. I don't want to be ashamed to be American, but opportunity no it don't exist it's the opiate of the populace. We need some harder s*** now the truth is getting around and each public school is a halfway house."
-Desaparecidos

And I'm also impressed by the musical taste of CC!

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven
"just like heaven"- the cure

Nice guys finish last
You're running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind

Sometimes you're at your best
When you feel the worst

Do you feel washed up
Like •••• going down the drain

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane
I'm so ••••••• happy I could cry
Every joke can have it's truth but now the joke's on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy

Oh nice guys finish last
When you run out of gas
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine

Living on command
You're shaking lots of hands
You're kissing up and bleeding all your trust
Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You lose your memory and you got no shame

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane
I'm so ••••••• happy I could cry
Every joke can have it's truth but now the joke's on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy

Oh nice guys finish last
When you run out of gas
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
"nice guys finish last" -green day


there are many other songs whose lyrics i love, however many of them were on a list of the greatest songs about masturbation. that is deeply disturbing and i no longer like the songs.

one of my favorite lyrics:

Karma Police
Arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzeslikeafridge
He's like a detuned radio.

Karma Police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo
Is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get..
when you mess with us.

Karma Police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll.

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get..
when you mess with us.


"Karma Police", Radiohead (I posted the whole lyrics bc I couldn't resist; so I won't post anything else)

haha Song A by Farewell to Arms is about masturbation which is hilarious because it's such a good song and i kept playing it and i never realized what the lyrics were until later

"Just Like Heaven" is an awesome song, i haven't heard the original though, just a cover by Taking Back Sunday

dear kids of CC - I do not know you, but your tastes in music make me feel all tingley and warm inside.
specifically the references to they might be giants and moxy früvous - never thought I'd see that!! and I definitely forced my APUSH teacher to play James K Polk last year, and my global history teacher to play Istanbul back in 10th grade. also, props to the kids that mentioned belle and sebastian and to the fact that there was so much bright eyes. yay.
anyway. i'll have to think about my favorite lyrics, but my momentary favorite is:

"she was into S&M and bible studies,
not everyone's cup of tea, she would admit to me"
(belle and sebastian - if you're feeling sinister)

And the first one tore a picture
Of a dead and hanging man
Who was kissing foreign fishes
That flew right out from this hands
And when I put my arms around him
I felt the blushing blood run through my cheeks
And an eeriness surrounded when his tongue began to speak
And he said...Oh boy you are so pretty
Enough to wrap tight in rice-paper string...
And when I finally kissed him the whole world began to ring
Lost like a bell that's tipping over
With two cracks along both sides
And I knew the world was over so I took a look outside
And watched the fires that were reaching
Up to the weather vane and the tops of trees
And the waiting scene and the sunday dream
They're all waiting here for me

Deli markets with their flower stands
Pretty girls and the burning men
Hanging out on the hooks next to the window displays
And I took out my tongue twice removed from my face
Across a bridge and across the mountains
Threw a nickel in a fountain
To save my soul from all these troubled times
And all the drugs that I don't have the guts to take
To soothe my mind so I'm always sober
Always aching, always heading towards
Mass suicide, occult figurines
And wasted gas-station attendents
Attending to their jobs
And a nice drive in the country
Finds a nice cliff to drop off
Oh when this world just gets so grating
All the grittiness of life
But don't take those pills your boyfriend gave you
You're too wonderful to die

From anything we could call loving
Any love worth living for
So I'll sleep out in the gutter
You can sleep here on the floor
And when I wake up in the morning
I forgot to lock the door
Because with a match that's mean and some gasoline
You won't see me anymore

NHM rocks many worlds. My personal favorite song of theirs is "Little Birds."

By Welshie (Welshie) on Wednesday, March 10, 2004 - 11:59 pm: Edit

Little birds born without a mother or a father
I can watch their bodies forming in the running water
Now there is another in the middle of my mouth
100 all together within me now
Little bird little bird come into my body

Mother they're within me every moment I'm awaking
Bodies multiplying till they finally overtake me
Open up my mouth but all you'll ever hear is singing
Put your hands within me and you'll know what I am feeling
I just want to swallow up and promise to protect them

Daddy come to touch me but he seen his hands are shaking
Look into my eyes and he can see their bodies breaking
Push me to the floor and then his hands started beating
"I don't want to hear it anymore," he kept repeating
"Do you really want the burning hell that we believe in?"

"Do you know the burning hell it took your baby brother?
Did you see how far he fell and how he made us suffer?
Another boy in town at night he took him for his lover
And deep in sin they held each other.
So I took a hammer nearly beat his little brains in
Knowing god in heaven would've never could forgive him
So I took a hammer and I nearly beat his brains in."

Little boy born without a father or a mother
Taken to the river and then pushed into the water
Now the priest is singing that the hell is getting hotter
Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him
Father son and holy ghost the only one to save him
From the thing he loves the most but we know will betray him

And here beneath the water I can see how the lights distort so strange
And I think this is how I would like to leave my body and start again.

GASP! A RADIOHEAD FAN!

The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends
He said I've been where I liked
I slept with whom I liked
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
And now
I don't know WHY I
feel so TONGUETIED

I was done posting, until mundanesunday's web site inspired me (while the radiohead lyrics confused me). Another CCish song, "Punk rock academy" by Atom + His Package (who is, unfortunately, no more).

I was fighting the mold in my bowl with my pee,
when a thought popped into my brain.
If all of us hated high school so much,
why was nothing ever changed?
So i called brian up, with my plan that's red hot.
It was a private institution in the name of punk-rock.
We got some government funding,
and our own private road,
and 666 for our radio snow code.

I had a dream, when I was in high school
That I attended, the punk rock academy.
I had a dream, when i was in high school,
That I attended the punk rock academy.
We'll import a token jock, & then we'll kick his token ass!
And there will never ever be a physical education class!
Think about, you'll agree.
It's the bizzity bizzity bomb!
& maybe we can get assuck to play the senior prom!

but that would cause me to change, and that aint my thang

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
Such Great Heights- The Postal Service

It's a matter of instinct, It's a matter of conditioning,
It's a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's dog
Ring a bell and i'll salivate -- how'd you like that
Dr. Landy tell me you're not just a pedagogue
'Cause right now I'm
Lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Well I'm lying in bed just like Brian Wilson did
Brian Wilson- Barenaked Ladies

And i'm barely balancing as it is,
And i don't want to drown in my dreams.
Bring me wild plums and agrimony
- i bet you don't even no what that means.
Furious rose, with your opiate eyes.
And your languorous hum, that tone of surprise.
I've heard the energy in adversity.
Your smile: the soul of witchery.
You're not running away,
You're not running - are you?
Furious Rose- Lisa Loeb

I gotta get outta here
It's like i'm being tied to the hood of
a yellow rental truck being packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta find a way... to jump over the moon
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
Over the Moon- RENT

In the motions and the things that you say
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall right into place
When we die, some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk, sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place
Gravity Rides Everything- Modest Mouse

I don't buy everything I read,
I haven't even read everything I've bought.
I don't cry every time I bleed,
My eyes are dry, but they're bloodshot.
I have faith in medication
I believe in the Prozac Nation
You play doctor, but I've lost patience
This is Where it Ends- Barenaked Ladies

Like you do on Sunday mornings?

Honey, give me a real gentle knife
