The Corries - La Di da Di Dum

On the 17th of March in La-Di-Da-Di-Da
A son was born to Mrs Da-Di-Dum
He had two arms, two legs, a mouth and ears and eyes
And the usual La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

They duly christened him La-Di-Da-Di-Da
They gave his second name as Da-Di-Dum
And throughout his life, and he lived for 90 years
He was known as La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

As he grew up his La-Di-Da-Di-Da
Grew quicker than his other Da-Di-Dum
And when he was fifteen, everyone remarked
On his great big La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum (it's his bloody nose we're singin about!)

He met a girl in La-Di-Da-Di-Da
She was pretty though a little Da-Di-Dum
But the reason that he, loved her best was she
Didne mind his great big La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

Her mother was awfully La-Di-Da-Di-Da
Her father was completely Da-Di-Dum
They sat down to dinner, of salmon mayonnaise
And a bowl of La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

It all went well til La-Di-Da-Di-Da
Bent to take a bite of Da-Di-Dum
He cobbed his plate, and the salmon mayonnaise
Fell upon his La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

Her mother cried loudly La-Di-Da-Di-Da
Her father sort of mumbled Da-Di-Dum
She said my dear, you must try to find a boy
With a smaller La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

But they married in the spring of La-Di-Da-Di-Da
They honeymooned in lovely Da-Di-Dum
But they found that they could ne, get in the double bed
For his great big La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

They duly decided La-Di-Da-Di-Da
To use two single beds instead of one
They slept together, and they used the other one
Just to rest his great big La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

On the 14th of June in La-Di-Da-Di-Da
He took ill with an attack of Da-Di-Dum
They wrapped him up in bandages, that ended with a ball
Round his La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

He died on the morning La-Di-Da-Di-Da
A victim of the dreaded Da-Di-Dum
They put him in his coffin, but they nae could shut the lid
For his great big La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

So the undertaker La-Di-Da-Di-Da
Decied on a plan for Da-Di-Dum
He made another coffin, roughly three feet two by one
Just to take his La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

Now you can read on his tombstone La-Di-Da-Di-Da
The son of La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum
Here lies his body, and in the next grave up but one
Lies his La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Dum

Rammstein - Das alte Leid

Auf der Bohle und in das Licht
ein Wesen mich zu gehen drängt
für die selbe Sache und das alte Leid
meine Tränen mit Gelächter fängt
und auf der Matte fault ein junger Leib
wo das Schicksal seine Puppen lenkt
für die selbe Sache und das alte Leid
weiss ich endlich hier wird nichts verschenkt

Auf der Bohle und in das Nichts
weiss jeder was am Ende bleibt
die selbe Sache und das alte Leid
mich so langsam in den Wahnsinn treibt
und auf der Matte tobt der selbe Krieg
mir immer noch das Herz versengt
dieselbe Sache und das alte Leid
weiss nun endlich

Ich will ficken!

[Nie mehr] - das alte Leid
[Nie mehr]
[Nie mehr] - das alte Leid

Auf der Bohle und in das Licht
ein Wesen mich zu gehen drängt
für die selbe Sache und das alte Leid
meine Tränen mit Gelächter fängt
und auf der Matte fault ein junger Leib
wo das Schicksal seine Puppen lenkt
für die selbe Sache und das alte Leid
weiss ich endlich

[Nie mehr] - das alte Leid

Therapy? - Unbeliever

Don't belong in this world or the next one
Wasting every day on my own end
Feeling awkward, feeling clumsy, hating
everything I've ever done before
Then you leave me like the others
Leave me too much time on my own
on my own
on my own
on my own

Had enough of reinventing memories
Living in the shadow of your charm
The sharpnel of your insults buried deeper
Than confidence can ever overcome
Then you leave me like the others
Leave me too much time on my own
on my own
on my own
on my own

Choking on anticipation, waiting
On you to say something to bring me back
All I want's a trace of recognition
Your silence is as heavy as my eyes
Then you leave me like the others
Leave me too much time on my own
on my own
on my own
on my own

"There's Only You"
Kevin Sharp

In every life they say
One perfecct love comes your way
I know from heart that's true
There's only you

When sorrow brings me pain
If teardrops fall like rain
Who else can I turn to
There's only you

Every night I thank the Lord above
For giving you to me
All my life, I'll give you all my love
True and faithfully

So darling say you'll stay
Don't take your love away
I'll never find someone new
There's only you

I'll never find someone new
There's only you

Guantanamera
Sandpipers (Joe Dassin)


Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera,
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera.
Yo soy un hombre sincero,
De don de crece la palma,
Yo soy un hombre sincero,
De don de crece la palma,
Yantes des morirme guiero,
Echar mis versos del alma,
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera.

Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera,
Guantanamera, guajira guantanamera.
I'm just a man who is trying
To do some good before dying,
To ask each man and his brother,
To bear no ill toward each other.
This life will never be hollow,
To those who listen and follow.
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.

Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.
I write my rhymes with no learning,
And yet with truth they are burning,
But is the world waiting for them?
Or will they all just ignore them?
Have I a poet's illusion,
A dream to die in seclusion?
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.

Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera
Guantanamera, guajira; guantanamera,
A little brook on a mountain,
The cooling spray of a fountain,
Arouse in me an emotion,
More than the vast boundless ocean,
For there's a wealth beyond measure,
In little things that we treasure,
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera,
Guantanamera, guajira, guantanamera.

That's the Way it Is by Celine Dion (i've had the frickin song stuck in my head all day!!)

I can read your mind and I know your story
I see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.


I Am Hated by Slipknot

The whole world is my enemy - and I'm a walking target
Two times the devil with all the significance
Dragged and raped for the love of a mob
I can't stay - because I can't be stopped
Eat mother****ers alive who cross us
I know you're all tired of the same ol' bosses
Let me tell you how it's gonna be
I'm gonna kill anyone who steps up in front of me

Welcome to the same ol' ****ing scam
Same ol' **** in a dead fad

Everybody wants to be so hard
Are you real or a second rate sports card?
They all lost their dad or their wife just died
They never got to go outside - SHUT UP
Nobody gives a ****
it doesn't change the fact that you suck

(We are) The anti-cancer
(We are) The only answer
Stripped down, we want you dead
But what's inside of me, you'll never know
(We are) Bipolar gods
(We are) You know what we are
My life was always ****
And I don't think I need this anymore

Now I'm not pretty and I'm not cool
But I'm fat and I'm ugly and proud - so **** you
Standing out is the new pretension
Sreamline the (sic)ness, half-assed aggression
You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned
All the mediocre sacred cows we spawne
Put your trust in the mission
We will not repent - this is our religion

(We are) The anti-cancer
(We are) The only answer
Stripped down, we want you dead
But waht's inside of me, you'll never know
(We are) Bipolar gods
(We are) You know what we are
My life was always ****
And I don't think I need this anymore

I AM HATED
YOU ARE HATED
WE ARE HATED

Everything sucks and I can prove it
Everybody dies, shuffle on, remove it
Idividuals, indispensable
I'm the paradox deity vessel
...the other side holds no secret
But this side is done, I don't need it
Before you go, you should know you're breaking down
You'll be rotten by the time you're underground

(We are) The anti-cancer
(We are) The only answer
Stripped down, we want you dead
But what's inside of me, you'll never know
(We are) Bipolar gods
(We are) You know what we are
My life was always ****
And I don't think I need this anymore

(We Are) The source of conscience
(We Are) Distorted sentients
There's only one thing left
And I can't leave until it's sated
(We Are) The absolute
(We Are) Controlling you
They're closing in, I can't escape
I AM HATED

Alanis Morissette - Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic... don't you think

(chorus)
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think

(repeat chorus)

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everthing blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic.. and yeah I really do think...

(repeat chorus)

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny way of helping you out
Helping you out...


Lene Marlin - Unforgivable Sinner

Kinda lose your sense of time
Cos the days don't matter no more
All the feelings that you hide
Gonna tear you up inside
You hope she knows you tried

Follows you around all day
And you wake up soaking wet
Cos between this world and eternity
There is a face you hope to see

You know where you sent her
You should know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she'd up there
Sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner

You've been walking around in tears
No answers are there to get
You won't ever be the same
Someone cries and you're to blame

Struggling with a fight inside
Sorrow you'll defeat
The picture you see
It won't disappear
Not unpleasant dreams
Or the voice you hear

You know where you sent her
You should know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she'd up there
Sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner


Bridge
Maybe one time lost
But now you're found
Stand right up before you hit the ground
Maybe one time lost
But now you're found
Stand right up before you hit the ground again

You know where you sent her
You should know where you are
You're trying to ease off
But you know you won't get far
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
But you can't hear those words
And now she's up there
Sings like an angel
Unforgivable sinner...

Fleetwood Mac



Tango In The Night

Listen to the wind on the water
Listen to the waves upon the shore
Try to sleep, sleep won't come
Just as I begin to fade

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango...

I keep the dream in my pocket
Never let it fade away
Inside, outside
No loneliness in this dream

Then I remember
When the moon was full and bright
I would take you in the darkness
And do the tango in the night
Tango...



--------------------------------

thats enough for me


Everytime that you make me smile
it's the same old way it used to be
And that's enough for me
Everytime that sleep don't come
it's the same old pain that used to be
And that's enough for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm, ah, oh
Everytime that sleep don't come
it's the same old pain it used to be
And that's enough for me
And that's enough for me
And that's enough for me.

Rooms on Fire
Stevie Nicks



Somewhere out in the back of your mind (Somewhere)
Comes your real life and the life that you know
It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things
It seemed to be the only thing left out in the light
She had trusted many...
But been unfamiliar with...
Almost everyone but you

Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
I have known this much longer than I've known you


She had trusted many...
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence
That she could sense for miles...
She dreamed of her wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried...and she tried to taunt him
And he hated to be separated...
From that picture...No...


Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Ooh, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you


Long nets of white cloud my memory...
Long nets of white cloud my memory...
Ooh...there is magic...all around you...
Everytime you walk in the room...


Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself...
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you...

Now... something more mind-expanding

Cosmic Weed by Lake of Tears

Running all the time and knowing time is running out
And knowing all what time's about
Dreaming all those dreams so evil, so evil are the
dreams we dream tonight
But the man in the moon sits tight, and he says

"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
And glance a world so strange indeed"

Fading little ones not knowing, they soon fade away
The tiny mushroom houses of yesterday
Dreaming all those dreams so evil, so evil are the
dreams they dream tonight
But the man in the moon he smiles, and he says

"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
And glance a world so strange indeed"

Knowing there's no evil down where I go
Knowing there's no evil tonight
Knowing there's no evil down where I go
To find it all out

"Come, come and try some cosmic weed
And glance a world so strange indeed"

[Anodyne]

Ticks and Leeches by TOol (even though the real meaning is about lawyers, this song is the PERFECT break up song..esp. if you're on bad terms!)

Suck and suck. Suckin up all you can suckin up all you can suck.
Workin up under my patience like a little tick.
Fat little parasite. Suck me dry.
My blood is bruised and borrowed. You thieving bastards.
You have turned my blood cold and bitter,
beat my compassion black and blue.

Hope this is what you wanted.
Hope this is what you had in mind.
Cuz this is what you're getting.
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.
I hope you're choking. I hope you choke on this.

Taken all I can taken all I can, we can take. Taken all you can taken you can, we can take.
Got nothing left to give to you.
Blood suckin parasitic little blood suckin parasitic little
blood suckin parasitic little tick
Take what you want and then go.

Suck me dry.

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you had in mind?
Is this what you wanted?
Cuz this this is what you're getting.
I hope, I hope, I hope you choke.

Unconditional Love

Stevie Nicks


Don't explain
Just lay back and watch the rain
Cause darling I'm right here
And nothing's changed
Don't you know by now
I would not even know how
To keep myself from falling for you
I'll be around

Unconditional love
I'll be there when you fall
The one condition of love
Is there are none at all

Why would I
Be a fool and break these ties
When all the dreams that I believe
Are in your eyes
Don't you see at last
You don't even have to ask
I'll give you so much more
Than just a second chance

Hey, hey, hey my precious one
Hey, hey, hey my precious one

Husker Du - Folk Lore

Women sewed the stars and stripes and the men,
They fought the wars, the children learned arithmetic and everyone was poor
Young man was the hero of the day
Long long hours, short short pay
Lesson I learned in history book,
Now it's not what they told me
Folk lore, folk lore, folk lore
Your momma never told you

Now the women scream for equal rights
Their man wants to have an affair
Children learn to hate the world and no one seems to care
Now the kids play vids instead
Their heroes are living on wonder bread
Lesson I learned in history book,
Now it's not what they told me
Folk lore, folk lore, folk lore
Your momma never told you that some things never change
Some things stay the same
Some things rearranged
One thing i know for sure
Your heroes always die

As we start the week of Thanksgiving in the U.S. ...

Thank You For The Music
Abba

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
