DO ME

a favor and share whatever song lyrics you're diggin on lately.



Here's mine:

ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
you fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
waiting for someone or something to show you the way

tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
you are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
and then one day you find ten years have got behind you
no one told you when to run | you missed the starting gun

and you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
and racing around to come up behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
shorter of breath and one day closer to death

every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
the time has gone, the song is over
thought I'd something more to say

home, home again
I like to be here when I can
and when I come home cold and tired
its good to warm my bones beside the fire

far away across the field
the tolling of the iron bell
calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken magic spells

DO ME ALL NIGHT LONG

I can accept that those might actually be lyrics, but... please tell me you're not diggin on em.

They're totally diggable.

I guess I'm a dirty old man.

:hi:

Hah! It worked! I wish we had counters to see how many clicked then backed out immediately. Heh.

Simply because you can breathe,
Doesn’t mean you’re alive,
Or that you really live,
This life here has taken it’s toll
And she just doesn’t know how much more she can give

But here, at the top of the world, I raise my hands and I clench my fists,
They stand before me below demanding the answers with flips of a switch

I don’t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Because I couldn’t care less

A need for revolution’s rising, it comes to the surface, gasping for air,
We’re not putting up with this planet one more day much less one more year

I don’t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Because I couldn’t care less

So here and now, in our rotting nation
The blood, it pours, it’s all on our hands now
We live, in fear, of our own potential
To win, to lose, it’s all on our hands now

I have an amerikan dream,
But it involves black masks and gasoline,
One day I’ll turn these thoughts into screams,
At a world turned it’s back down on me

I don’t understand where you got this idea,
So deeply engrained in your head
That this world is something that you must impress,
Because I couldn’t care less

Thanks.

Very, very cool band. Awesome. It's all I'm listening to right now, it's so good.

Seriously great band. I'd love to see them live, but it's very very rare to get a decent show in my neck of the woods.

They were okay, but I was there specifically to see RA. I'm hoping they come back very soon.

They were also touring with Alexisonfire recently. If you don't know them, you should check them out. Probably the best band making music in Canada right now. (In my opinon anyway, haha.)

Their first album was good, but it was sparse on the melodic vocals and was mostly just screaming, which could be overwhelmng sometimes. "Watch Out!" has an almost perfect balance of melodic vocals and screaming.

Here's a classic from the Mael bros., "Here Comes Bob":



When I spot a driver worth a second glance
Foot to floorboard, impact soon achieved
Here comes Bob!
I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends

Girl, this rubbled mess was caused by my neglect
Of course, I'll pay and by the way, my dear
Here comes Bob!
I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends

Sometimes I'll stoop to hitting
Two-door coupes without the frills
But that's just for casual acquaintances,
For stripped-down thrills

Your car, girl -or mine?
It doesn't matter, doesn't matter, no
But for affairs with staying power
I go after limousines

It's always nice if something big
Is acting as your go-between
And for group encounters I'll hit buses,
Mobile homes, or trains to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

It's hard to make acquaintances in our big town
Most eyes stare at nothing much at all
But here comes Bob!
I ain't subtle in my ways of making friends
Friends, acquaintances!

Instant adulation comes to some at birth
Born to queens or corporate entities
But here comes Bob!

Someday they'll put me away
I'll think back on active days
Most were worth the minor scars
Some were worth the damaged cars

And the judge will say to me:
"Bob, you've got a bad means to a worthwhile end"

Well, here comes Bob!

Thanks. :)

Anyway, onto the lyrics:

I was a willow last night in a dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
And sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love...

Crazy, crazy for feelin so lonely...
I'm crazy
Crazy for feelin so blue...
I knew...you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new
:cry:

Yes, it's the world's first Heart/Patsy Cline Mashup. :7

Did someone seriously mash them together?

I gotta hear this...

I'd love to try to mash them in one of my audio editing programs, but man, that kind of mix wouldn't come easily. It'd take a genius to pull it off. Someone like DJ Shadow.

Man, now you've got me thinking, and the Muse is beginning to stir from slumber...

I really really really would like to hear it... please?

:D

:P

Alanis Morissette - Everything
OK, here are lyrics that I've been diggin'....

I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it’s going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby and you’ve never met anyone
who is as negative as I am sometimes

I am the wisest woman you've ever met.
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected.
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
Who's as positive as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you’ve never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

What I resist, persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist, you love, no matter how low or high I go

I'm the funniest woman you've ever known.
I am the dullest woman you've ever known.
I'm the most gorgeous woman you've ever known
And you've never met anyone as, as everything as I am sometimes.

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

And you’re still here
And you're still here...

Thanks. :hi:

We've had enough
We've had enough
We've had enough of the politicians
We've had enough yeah
Of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love, come on
We've had enough of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
All we need right now is love

Turn it up
The future is held in the hands
Who right the textbooks
Ignorance is bred when falsified thinking is taught
To the youth instead of
Past mistakes and mind elevation,
Like the graves that manifest destiny has created
So we can build our
Capitalist consumer based economy,
To build, market,
And sell commodities we don't need
But we are trained to believe like celebrity imaging
Well I'm here to take my feelings back and I hope That you will be with me

I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh,
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all singing together,
Ooooohhhhhh
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh
I can't wait for that day
When I hear us all singing together,
Ahhh,

I can't wait for the day
When I hear us all screaming,
HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION.
When every race color
And creed of militant human beings stand up
With fists together for substance and true meaning
Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement
We're too caught up in
A material status quo punishment
And one thing is for sure
And that's the sun will always set,
Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite
So baby take a axe to your makeup kit
Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
Love with all your hearts and never forget
How good it feels to be alive
And strive for your desire
Just cause you can't see
Your cage doesn't mean that you are free
When there are laws against nature
But its ok for you to be
Addicted to over the counter prescriptions
And magazines dictate all our human relations

I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
To a culture that objectifies all of our women
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
The apathetic dribble on the news media's chin
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
The lies that are sold through textbooks to children
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
Cause the positive will
Always overcome the negative right

And we stay inside, its right outside,
We stand in line
We all enjoy the fences to keep it at bay
But I'm not giving in

Very nice... another one I must hear. Thanks thanks thanks.

It's from their album "The Resignation".

Here are some antiwar lyrics:

Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, as the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

A top single about a transvestite lingerie thief is brilliant. Apaprently Roger Waters's ma was a victim of such thefts, and that's where Barrett got the idea.



Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine

On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through baby blue
He dug it
Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?

Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne

Now he's caught - a nasty sort of person.
They gave him time
Doors bang - chain gang - he hates it

Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?

Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Don't do it again.

thanks!

:hi:

:rofl:

Stupid laws! x(

for some reason that makes me want to hear Light As The Breeze

the other is Tom Waits. :shrug:

but I think it was the subject material more than anything else.

Keeps me from watching the corporate news in the morning and taking is seriously....that and heavy as hell shocks me awake hehe.

Incubus "Idiot Box"

You keep your riches and I'll sew my stitches,
you can't make me think like you, mundane.
I've got a message for all those who think that
they can etch his words inside my brain
T.V., what do I need?
Tell me who to believe!
What's the use of autonomy
when a button does it all?
So listen up,
glisten up closely all,
who've seen the fuckin eye ache too.
It's time to step away from cable train
And when we finally see the subtle light,
this quirk in evolution will begin
to let us live and recreate
T.V., what do I need?
Tell me who to believe!
Whats the use of autonomy
when a button does it all?
T.V., what should I see?
Tell me who should I be?
Lets do our mom a favor and drop
a new god off a wall.
Let me see past the fatuous knocks.
I've gotta rid myself of this idiot box!
Let you see past the feathers and flocks,
and help me plant a bomb in this idiot box!
From the depths of the sea
to the tops of the trees
to the seat of a lazy boy...
staring at a silver screen!!

and it doesn't hurt that the singer is so easy on the eyes. :)

Cept the lead singer....I dig tha chicks ya dig? LOL

:)

lyrics!

How about these. I just listened to this song.

Roy Orbison "You Got It"

Everytime I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just can't buy

One look from you
I drift away
I pray that you
Are here to stay

Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby
Everytime I hold you I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I'm your man

I live my life
To be with you
No one can do
The things you do

Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all, you got it
Baby

I'm glad to give
My love to you
I know you feel
The way I do

Anything you want, you got it
Anything you need, you got it
Anything at all
You got it

Thanks! Great earworm. :)

for sure. :)

The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range
Artist: Roger Waters
Album: Amused To Death

You have a natural tendency
To squeeze off a shot
You're good fun at parties
You wear the right masks
You're old but you still
Like a laugh in the locker room
You can't abide change
You're at home on the range
You opened your suitcase
Behind the old workings
To show off the magnum
You deafened the canyon
A comfort a friend
Only upstaged in the end
By the Uzi machine gun
Does the recoil remind you
Remind you of sex
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
Old timer who you gonna kill next
I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Saw a U.S. Marine in a pile of debris
I swam in your pools
And lay under your palm trees
I looked in the eyes of the Indian
Who lay on the Federal Building steps
And through the range finder over the hill
I saw the front line boys popping their pills
Sick of the mess they find
On their desert stage
And the bravery of being out of range
Yeah the question is vexed
Old man what the hell you gonna kill next
Old timer who you gonna kill next
Hey bartender over here
Two more shots
And two more beers
Sir turn up the TV sound
The war has started on the ground
Just love those laser guided bombs
They're really great
For righting wrongs
You hit the target
And win the game
From bars 3,000 miles away
3,000 miles away
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range
We zap and maim
With the bravery of being out of range
We strafe the train
With the bravery of being out of range
We gain terrain
With the bravery of being out of range
With the bravery of being out of range
We play the game
With the bravery of being out of range

right after Live8... *sigh*

Thanks!

when I'm 99 I'll still be going on 25!


my explanation = I'm revved up & runnin

and she took brief breaks to deejay a great set of mid-late 80s hip-hop. This one stuck in my head. It was also a great video.

I don't remember the video, but the song I do. :)

Very inspirational and gets me going when I am on the bike or before I play goal!

Renegades of Funk by Rage Against The Machine

No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can’t stop us now

Since the prehistoric ages and the days of ancient greece
Right down through the middle ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like chief sitting bull, tom paine
Dr. martin luther king, malcom x
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegades

We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk

From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we’re on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singin’ electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations

Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We’re the renegades we’re the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C’mon
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk

Poppin’, sockin’, rockin’ puttin’ a side of hip-hop
Because where we’re goin’ there ain’t no stoppin’
Poppin’, sockin’, puttin’ a side of hip-hop
Because where we’re goin’ there ain’t no stoppin’
Poppin’, sockin’, rockin’ puttin’ a side of hip-hop
’cause we’re poppin’, sockin’, rockin’ puttin’ a side of hip-hop
Poppin’, sockin’, rockin’ puttin’ a side of hip-hop

We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk
We’re the renegades of funk

We’re teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We’re blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble the horns and our vocals
’cause everytime I pop into the beat we get fresh

There was a time when our music
Was something called the bay street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor

Say jam sucker
Say jam sucker
Say groove sucker
Say groove sucker
Say dance sucker
Say dance sucker
Now move sucker
Now move sucker
(x2)

thanks!

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Please, please me,
Oh yeah, like I please you.

You don't need me to show the way love
Why do I always have to stay love

Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Please, please me,
Oh yeah, like I please you.

I don't want to sound complaining
But you know there's always rain in my heart
I do all the pleasing with you
It's so hard to season with you
Oh, yeah, why do you make me blue

Last night I said these words to my girl
I know you never even try girl
Come on, come on, come on, come on,
Please, please me,
Oh yeah, like I please you.

It's taken on an entirely new meannig since my boy was born....

Sappy, I know. But you asked.
-------------
Good morning, son.
I am a bird
Wearing a brown polyester shirt
You want a coke?
Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95
It's okay, you don't have to pay
I've got all the change

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

And you're so much like me
I'm sorry

Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
It sucks to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
You'll try and try and one day you'll fly
Away from me

Good morning, son
I am a bird

It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things

Everybody knows
It hurts to grow up
And everybody does
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what
The years go on and
We're still fighting it, we're still fighting it
Oh, we're still fighting it, we're still fighting it

And you're so much like me
I'm sorry

I'd like to hear that one.

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime
then left you girl {left to go}
Like shadows from the sun,
Run into traces
Of faces you thought you saw
But never seemed to mean much more {But never seemed to me much more}
than echoes of a day gone by {echoes of a day gone by}
When someone else would have to try
To light the stars
......In your sky.


All the things you planned
Just sand castles washed away
On tidal waves of tears,
fears overpowering
Your complex dreams just slither down
drowning in rocky pools,
Or smashed and dashed
On peril's course, divorcing prematurely
thoughts {On peril's course, forcing prematurely}
Of lasting love
......In your life.

Sometime when you've time to spare {Sometime we need time to spare}
Feeling of missed opportunity
Spare a tear and douse your bridge...
burning
30 years and on the ledge....
learning

All the things you planned

30 years in bed.

depressing!

:headbang:


Have you heard the news

So it gets to seven
And I think of nothing
But living in darkness
And the diamond lady
Well she´s not telling
I don´t even know her name

It´s amazing
Times have changed
In days of old
Imagination´d leave you standing
Out in the cold

Dancing city
Now you´re talking
But where´s your soul
-you´ve a thousand faces
I´ll never know

True To Life

There are complications
And compensations
If you know the game
Agitated in xenon nightly
I´ll take you home again

Travel way downtown
In search of nothing
But the sky at night
And the diamond lady
Well she´s not talking
But that´s alright

True To Life

So I turn the pages
And tell the story
From town to town
People tell me
Be determined
Poor country boy

Too much luck
Means too much trouble
Much time alone
But arm in arm
With my seaside diamond
I´ll soon be home
