Uh huh. Latest "Songs In The Key Of Life" Threads

[devilmunchkin]

i DAMN near posted that particular song...hehehe

Sleepless by Cradle of Filth

And I often sigh
I often wonder why
I'm still here and still I cry

And I often cry
I often spill a tear
Over those not here
But still they are so near

Please ease my burden

And I still remember
A memory and I weep
In my broken sleep
The scars they cut so deep

Please ease my burden
Please ease my pain

Surely without war there would be no loss
Hence no mourning, no grief, no pain, no misery
No sleepless nights missing the dead ... Oh, no more
No more war

[Meticulous Man]

devilmunchkin: that's actually an Anathema cover. Nice song nevertheless.

Semisonic - Singing In My Sleep

Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes
All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose

And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

I've been living in your cassette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a Capulet
On a balcony in your mind

In the City the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet
Did you ever look so nice

And all the sounds
Dream for me
Dive me down in a soul so deep

I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep

[self biased]

timelessness, fear factory.

I've felt darkness closing in on me
Chilling shadows surrounding me
I've had the poison leak into my skin
And it corroded my heart away
Bled away
Cut away
Dark night of my soul...


self bias resistor, fear factory.

Hey you! Wake up!
Open your swollen eyes
Erosion invades your mind
A cancer that grows over time
Hey you! Rise up!
Rise to fight, eliminate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate

All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life

Wake up! Rise up!
Open minds will dominate
Burn your fuse to detonate
The human machines of hate

All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life

Hypocrisy
You can't believe
Machines of hate
A disease that infiltrates
Persist for resistance
Resist their insolence
You are a dissident
Burn away conformity

All these years they've tried to break you to your knees
Anger scours right through your veins
Now it's time to put an end to all the lies
Now it's time to take control of your life

They have tried to break you
They have tried to break you


a threapy for pain, fear factory.

I welcome death with open arms
Her soft breath and simple charm
Wandering through memories
Takes my hand for me to see

Tried so hard

Echoes of innocence
Are my thoughts into dissent

Tried so hard

When we finally reach the end
She lets go of my hand
Waking into realms of light
There will be no death tonight

Tried so hard

[Ramo]

Religious Vomit
Dead Kennedys

All religions make me wanna throw up
All religions make me sick
All religions make me wanna throw up
All religions suck
They all claim that they have the truth
That'll set you free
Just give 'em all your money and they'll set you free
Free for a fee

They all claim that they have 'the Answer'
When they don't even know the Question
They're just a bunch of liars
They just want your money
They just want your consciousness

[Chorus]
All religions suck
All religions make me wanna throw up
All religions suck
All religions make me wanna BLEAH

They really make me sick
They really make me sick
They really make me sick
They really make me sick
They really make me sick
They really make me ILL

[Bas]

Bad Religion - Faith in God

It's all right to have faith in god
But when you bend to their rules and their ****ing lies
That's when I start to have pity on you.

You're living on a mound of dirt,
But you can't explain your reason for existence
So you blame it on god.

So much hatred in this world and you can't decide
Who's pulling the strings
So you figure it's god.

Your whole life foreshadows death
And you finally realize you don't want to die alone
So you'll always have god.

It's all right to have faith in god
But when you bend to their rules and their ****ing lies
That's when I start to have pity on you.

It's all right to have faith in god
But when you bend to their rules and their ****ing lies
That's when I start to have pity on you.

There's people in the world today
Who say they're Jewish, Christian and such,
They're all ignorant fools.

They'll tell you you can't have your own way
unless you pay money and dedicate your life
Or you'll be damned in hell.

Don't be feeble like all of them,
You have your own brain full of thoughts and choices,
So use it don't let them use you.

It's all right to have faith in god
But when you bend to their rules and their ****ing lies
That's when I start to have pity on you.

Sometimes It's A *****
Stevie Nicks
(Jon Bon Jovi)


Well I've run thru rainbows and castles of candy
And I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I try to dance with what life has to hand me
My partner's been pleasure, my partner's been pain

There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle
and dark, desperate hours that nobody sees
My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain
My head in my hands, down on my knees

Chorus:
Sometimes it's a *****, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes love's blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it's roses, but sometimes it's weeds
Sometimes it's a *****...but sometimes...it's a breeze

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasures
I've laid down with love and I've woke up with lies
What's it all worth? - Only the heart can measure
It's not what's in the mirror, but what's left inside

you've gotta take it as it comes......
Sometimes it don't come easy.......

Well I've run thru rainbows and castles of candy
I've cried a river of tears from the pain
I've tried to dance with what life had to hand me
And if I could, I'd do it all over again

Sometimes it's a *****, sometimes it's a breeze
Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems
you get what you want but it's not what you need
Sometimes it's a ***** and sometimes....it's a breeze

Sometimes it's a breeze

Two For Tuesday; Marshall Tucker Band

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN


Took my fam'ly away from our Carolina home
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end
But so far it's been hell

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

We were digging and shifting from five to five
Selling ev'rything we found just to stay alive
Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
Sinning was the big thin Lord
And satan was the star

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

Dance hall girls were the evening treat
Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
Men were shot down for the sake of fun
Or just to hear the noise of their 44 guns

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

Now my widow, she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim

And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

Heard It In A Love Song


I ain't never been with a woman long enough, for my boots to get old.
We've been together so long now they both need resoled.
If I ever settle down you'd be my kind and it's a good time for me to head on down the line.

Chorus:
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Heard it in a love song
Can't be wrong.

I'm the kinda man likes to get away, like to start dreamin about tomorrow today.
Never said that I love you, even thought it's so
Where's that duffle bag of mine it's time to go.

Chorus

I'm gona be leavin at the break of dawn. Wish you could come but I don't need no woman taggin along.
So I'll sneak out that door couldn't stand to see you cry.
I'd stay another year if I saw a tear drop in your eye.
Chorus
I never had a damn thing but what I had I had to leave it behind.
You're the hardest thing I ever tried to get off my mind.
Always something greener on the other side of that hill.
I was born a wrangler and a rambler and I guess I always will

Chorus

[self biased]

World so Cold, Mudvayne.

when passion's lost and trust is gone,
way too far, for way too long,
children crying cast out and neglected,
only in a world so cold, only in a world this cold
hold the hand of your best freind, look into their eyes,
then watch them drift away
some might say, we've done the wrong things,
for way too long, for way too long

fever inside the storm,
so i'm running away
away from the name
(calling your names)
away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'cause i'm mending the wounds of us.

keep your thorns
'cause i'm running away,
away from the games
(f*cking head games)
away from the space
(hate this head space)
the circumstnces of a world so cold.

burning whispers, remind me of the days,
i was left alone, in a world this cold
guilty of the same things, provoked by the cause,
i've left alone, ina world so cold

fever inside the storm,
so i'm running away
away from the name
(calling your names)
away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'cause i'm mending the wounds of us.

keep your thorns
'cause i'm running away,
away from the games
(f*cking head games)
away from the space
(hate this head space)
the circumstnces of a world so cold.

i'm flying, i'm flying away,
away from the names
(calling your names)
away from the games
(f*cking head games)
the circumstnces of a world so cold.

why does everyone feel like my enemy,
don't want any part of depression or darkness, i've had enough
sick and tired, bring the sun, or i'm gone, or i'm gone

i'm backing out, i'm no pawn,
no motherf*cking slave to this,
never lied
never left
never lived
never loved
never lost
never hurt
never worry about being me or anyone else
not a care no concern, don't give a sh!t about anything

backing out, i'm no pawn,
no motherf*cking slave to this,
never lied
never left
never lived
never loved
never lost
never hurt
never worry about being me or anyone else
not a care no concern, don't give a sh!t about anything

i need to find a darkened corner,
a lightless corner,
where it's safer and calmer,

i'm turning away,
away from the name
(calling your names)
away from the stones
(throw sticks and stones)
'cause i'm mending the wounds of us.

i'm running away,
'cause i'm running away,
away from the games
(f*cking head games)
away from the space
(hate this head space)
the circumstnces of a world so cold.

i'm flying, i'm flying away,
away from the names
(calling your names)
away from the games
(f*cking head games)
the circumstnces of a world so cold.

FOREVER (Mariah Carey)

Those days of love are gone
Our time is through
Still I burn on and on
All of my life
Only for you

From now
Until forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one...
You will always be the only one...

As long as I shall live
I’ll hold you dear
And I will reminisce
Of our love all through the years

From now
Until forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one... yes
You will always be the only one...

If you should ever need me
Unfailingly I will return to your arms
And unburden your heart
And if you should remember
That we belong together
Never be ashamed
Call my name
Tell me I’m the one you treasure

Forever
And ever, my darling
Forever
You will always be the only one...
You will always be the only one...

Never Too Far



You're with me
Til the bitter end
What we had transcends
This experience
Too painful to
Talk about
So I'll hold it in
Til my heart can mend
And be brave enough to love again
A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
When I remember

Glittering lights
Incandescent eyes
Still preserved
In my mind
In the memories I'll find solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
And I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
Though we can never be
I'll keep you close to me
And I'll remember

A place in time
Still belongs to us
Stays preserved in my mind
In the memories there is solace

Never too far away
I won't let time erase
One bit of yesterday
Cause I have learned that
Nobody can take your place
And though we can never be
I'll always think of you and me
Always remember

Love

You're never too far

[Asher]

So Sad, So Lonely by Matchbox Twenty

I found out
On a late night drive
In my winter coat
With my blood-shot eyes
My faith ain't been
No friend to me
And the way I sin
Is hanging off of me

And I'm sorry
You can't take me anywhere
Pretty soon we're almost there
Baby, one more night
It's been a long, long drive
And I'm way, way tired
I don't need no
Back-up plan

(Chorus)
I don't want nobody
Nobody don't want me
I'm so sad so lonely
But I'm always landing on my feet

One more time
With a sad, sad smile
And your white bread friends
In the cirus life
All the one-way rides
The sweet beginners
Passing on the left-hand side
With a sideways smile

And I'm always
One step from stalling
Bad trips can make great stories
Dance all night
With your ass on fire
With your hands up high
And feel me one more time

(Chorus)

I learn to love myself
And I don't need no one else
And when a love moves on
'Cause it gets cold
Then another moves in
And it can fill the hole

I'm one more
Hopeful lying on the bedroom floor
No sense trying
When the whole thing drops
You lose your nerve
I hope you get what you deserve!

[Ramo]

Lubricating the Revolution
Strung Out

The mirror never lies
and neither does the face
of a man who doesn't know where his place is
This man and his shadow
know exactly where they're going
straight to hell in all it's glory
with the rest of it all

I set myself up
so that I can set myself apart
and find another way
On this planet I call my home
I'll be an island

I'll rent a revolution
and sell my soul to the cause
as a million footsteps march in my parade
And I'll buy the moon, a bomb
and aim it straight at number one
cause nobody really wants a revolution to come

I set myself up
so that I can see what's going on
and never be like you
If you have any questions
feel free to make up your mind
On this planet here right now
there's a place for everyone to just be
On this planet here right now
there's no place I'd rather be

I set myself up
so that I can see what's going on
and never be like you
If you have any questions
feel free to make up your mind
On this planet I call my home
I'll be an island

Bad Habit by Offspring

Hey man ya know I'm really ok .
The gun in my hand will tell you the same .
But when i'm in my car, don't give me no crap,
'Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap .

When I go driving I stay in my lane .
But getting cut off- it makes me insane .

Open up the glove box,
Reach inside,
I'm gonna wreck this ****ers ride,
'Cause I got a bad habit .
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

Well they say the road's a dangerous place .
If you flip me off I'll get in your face .
You drive on my ass,
Your foot's on the gas,
And your next breath is your last-

'Cause I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

Drivers are rude,
Such attitudes,
But when i show my piece-,
Complaints cease, Something's odd,
I feel like I'm God,
You stupid dumb-**** god-damn mother****er

Open up the glove box,
Reach inside,
I'm gonna wreck this ****ers ride,
'Cause I got a bad habit,
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,
Yeah, Yeah---
Ohh Ohh Ooh ohh

Spank Thru by Nirvana

This song is for the lovers out there
And the little light in the trees
And all the flowers have gingivitis
And the birds fly happily
We're together once again, my love
I need you back oh baby, baby
I can't explain just why
We lost it from the start
Living without you girl,
You only break my heart
I can feel it
I can hold it
I can bend it, shape it, and mold it
(I, He) can cut it
(I, He) can taste it
Spank it, beat it till you...
Wait here now
I been looking for days now
Always hearing the same old...
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make it do things you won't think you ever could

[Clear Skies]

Dusty Springfield - You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

When I said I needed you, you said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you, and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone and I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home

You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me, I can't help but love you
But believe me, I'll never tie you down

Left alone with just a memory, life seems dead and so unreal
All that's left is loneliness, there's nothing left to feel

You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand
Believe me, believe me....

You don't have to say you love me, just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever, I will understand...

[Sprayber]

HOw I Spent Tonight

Killin' Time:
Clint Black

You were the first thing that I thought of,
When I thought I drank you off my mind.
When I get lost in the liquor,
You're the only one I find.
And if I did the things I oughta,
You still would not be mine.
So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle,
Gettin' loose and killin' time.

This killin' time is killin' me,
Drinking myself blind, thinkin' I won't see.
That if I cross that line and they bury me,
Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity.

I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow,
I've been lost in yesterday.
I've spent all my life just dying for,
A love that passed away.
If there's an end to all my sorrow,
And this is the only price I'll pay.
I'll be a happy man when I go,
And I can't wait another day.

This killin' time is killin' me,
Drinking myself blind, thinkin' I won't see.
That if I cross that line and they bury me,
Well, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity.
Yes, I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity.
