Time To Bleed

Bleeding Me
Metallica

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to somethin' better

I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with something
I'm pushin' to stay with something better

I'm sowing the seeds
I'm sowing the seeds I've taken
I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted

This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it
Caught under wheels roll
The bleeding of me
Of me...
The bleeding of me

(Repeat)

I am the beast that bleeds the feast
I am the blood
I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I'm caught, I'm caught, I'm caught under

Caught under wheels roll
I take that leech
I'm bleeding me
Can't stop to save my soul
I take the leash that's leading me
I'm bleeding me
I can't take it (X3)
The bleeding of me

I'm diggin' my way
I'm diggin' my way to somethin'
I'm diggin' my way to something better

I'm pushin' to stay
I'm pushin' to stay with somethin'
I'm pushin' to stay with something better
With something better.

Loverman
Metallica (Originally by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)

There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
It is bucking and braying and pawing at the floor
(How much longer)
And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)
He's weak with evil and broken by the world
(How much longer)
He's shouting your name and he's asking for more
(How much longer)
There's a devil waiting outside your door
(How much longer)

Loverman
Since the world began
Forever, amen
Till end of time
Take off that dress
I'm coming down
I'm your loverman
Cause I am what I am (Repeat)

L is for LOVE, baby
O is for ONLY you that I do
V is for loving VIRTUALLY all that you are
E is for loving almost EVERYTHING that you do
R is for RAPE me
M is for MURDER me
A is for ANSWERING all of my prayers
N is for KNOWING your loverman's going to
be the answer to all of yours

Loverman
Till the bitter end
While empires burn down
Forever and ever
Amen I'm your loverman
So help me, baby
So help me
Cause I am what I am (Repeat)
I'm your loverman

There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door
(How much longer)
With his straining sex in his jumping paw
(How much longer)
There's a devil crawling along your floor
(How much longer)
And he's old and he's stupid
And he's hungry and he's sore
And he's lame and he's blind
And he's dirty and he's poor
Give him more
There's a devil crawling along your floor

Loverman
Here I stand
Forever, Amen
Cause I am what I am (Repeat)
Forgive me, baby
My hands are tied
And I got no choice, I got no choice at all

I'll say it again:

L is for LOVE, baby
O is for O yes I do
V is for VIRTUE, so I ain't gonna hurt you
E is for EVEN if you want me to
R is for RENDER unto me, baby
M is for that which is MINE
A is for ANY old how, darling
N is for ANY old time

I'm your loverman
I got a masterplan
To take off your dress
And be your man
Seize the throne
Seize the mantle
Seize the crown
Cause I am what I am (Repeat)
I'm your loverman

There's a devil lying by your side
(How much longer)
You might think he's asleep
(How much longer)
but look at his eyes
(How much longer)
He wants you, darling, to be his bride
(How much longer)
There's a devil lying by your side
(How much longer)

Loverman!

Heroes

I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing will
Drive them away
We can beat them
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
Just for one day

And you
You can be mean
And I
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers
And that is that

Though nothing
Will keep us together
We could steal time
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
For ever and ever
What d'you say

I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day

I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day

I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We're nothing
And nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying
Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day

Vonda Shepard - Neighbourhood

Here's a photo I've been looking for
It's a picture of the boy next door
And I loved him more than words could say
Never knew it 'til he moved away

Faded pictures in my scrapbook
Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighbourhood

Here's a photo of the neighbourhood
Here's the corner where we stood
Here's a snapshot of dad's old car
Never got us very far

Faded pictures in my scrapbook
Just thought I'd take one more look
And recall when we were all
In the neighbourhood

And all those friends
Where did they go? I don't know
All those friends we used to know
In the neighbourhood


Garbage - When I Grow Up

Cut my tongue out
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut
Happy hours
Golden showers
On a cruise to freak you out

We could fly a helicopter
Nothing left to talk about
Entertain you
Celebrate you
I'll be back to frame you

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Trying hard to fit among you
Floating out to wonderland
Unprotected
God I'm pregnant
Damn the consequences

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Blood and blisters
On my fingers
Chaos rules when we're apart
Watch my temper
I go mental
I'll try to be gentle

When I grow up
I'll be stable
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
I'll turn the tables

Don't take offense
Better make amends
Rip it all to shreds and let it go
Rip it all to shreds and let it go...

skyring, mudvayne.

this puzzle's dead inside
missing pieces growing eyes
mystery
little girls severity,
little boys beggin mercy
sticks break on me
cost of life at 23
price of pain a golden ring
all crimson
melting body rubber world
battle axe with locks of curls
introverted

my cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to make things okay

one thousand points for insect stings,
glue my spirit, break my wings,
misery.
libido steams infectious whore,
cauterize and forge the sword,
remember the killing.

children, learing the secret knock, a nickel
to enter that place,
the place that you would go t o make things okay,
my cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to take pain away

games of passion taste so sweet
cut his throat and slughter his meat,
my secrets
seven heads for seven seas
darkend voices plead disease
dismembering me

children wrestle to seal the bag
storing it deep in that place,
the place you would go and try to escape
children, learing the secret knock, a nickel
to enter that place,
the place that you would go t o make things okay,
my cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to take pain away

skyring through reflections in a pool,
i see death coming mowing down,
do you remember the bedroom,
was your cell, or was it your tomb,

your living through my hell

children, learing the secret knock, a nickel
to enter that place,
the place that you would go t o make things okay,
my cost, the price of a broken doll, can you
remember that place
the place you would go to take pain away

TIME PASSAGES
Al Stewart

It was late in December, the sky turned to snow
All round the day was going down slow
Night like a river beginning to flow
I felt the beat of my mind go
Drifting into time passages
Years go falling in the fading light
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Well I'm not the kind to live in the past
The years run too short and the days too fast
The things you lean on are the things that don't last
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

Hear the echoes and feel yourself starting to turn
Don't know why you should feel
That there's something to learn
It's just a game that you play

Well the picture is changing
Now you're part of a crowd
They're laughing at something
And the music's loud
A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand
But you're all alone, in these
Time passages
I know you're in there, you're just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

the becoming, Nine inch nails.

I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming

The me the you know he had some second thoughts
He's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
The me that you know he doesn't come around much
That part of me isn't here anymore

All pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
Drowns out all I hear no escape from this my new consciousness

The me that you know he used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
The me that you know is now made up of wires
And even when I'm right with you I'm so far away

I can try to get away but I've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all of my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all to clear


Hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away

It wont give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head


reptile, nine inch nails.
She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
She has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within

Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure oh

Devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest
Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure oh

Oh
Oh my beautiful liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure
Oh my beautiful liar no
Oh my precious whore no, oooh, oh,
My disease my infection no
I am so impure no, ah no, ah no, ah no

THIS DOOR SWINGS BOTH WAYS
Herman's Hermits
(Thomas/Levitt)

Everyones life is bittersweet
It's a door that opens wide
And no man can call himself complete
Till he's seen it from both sides

This door swings both ways
It's marked 'In' and 'Out'
Some days you'll want to cry
And some days you will shout

This door swings both ways
It goes back and forth
In comes a southern breeze
Or a cold wind from the north

This door swings both ways
Lets in joy and pain
In comes the morning sun
And then the evening rain

This door swings both ways
Lets in dark and light
Every day you make the choice
To let in wrong or right

When shadows fall
You must prepare yourself for sunshine
For everything there is an end
And so my friend you must be brave

This door swings both ways
Which one will it be
Will we live in happiness
Or dwell in misery

This door swings both ways
Lets in earth and sky
Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die
Make the most of livin'
If you're not prepared to die

[devilmunchkin]

ALways by Saliva

I hear, a voice that "Don't be so blind"
It's telling me all these things, that you would probably hide
Am I, your one and only desire
Am I the reason you breathe, or am I the reason you cry

Always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you

I love you, I hate you, I can’t get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, is like a solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you

Done with you, done with you, done with you, done with you,done with you

I feel, like you don't want me around
I guess I'll pack all my things, I guess I'll see you around
Its all, been bottled up until now
As I walk out your door, all I can hear is the sound of

Always... always... always... always... always... always...
I just can't live without you

I love you, I hate you, I can’t get around you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, its like a solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you

I wrapped my head around your heart
Why would you tear my world apart?

Always... always... always... always...

I see, the blood all over your hands
Does it make you feel, more like a man?
Was it all, just a part of your plan
The pistols shaking in my hands and all I hear is the sound

I love you, I hate you, I can’t live without you
I breathe you, I taste you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, its like a solitude
I guess that I'm out the door and now I'm done with you

I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I love you, I hate you, I can't live without you
I just can't take anymore, its like a solitude
I pick myself off the floor and now I'm done with you

Always... always... always...

[devilmunchkin]

if i could only scream this song....

Epiphany by STaind

Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear.

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said.

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way.
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away.
'Cause I can't take anymore of this
I wanna come apart,
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart.

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Oh
Forget all the things I should have said.

I am nothing more than
a little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
Yet I always try to hide.
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing isnt feel

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said.

The Byrds - Turn, Turn, Turn
adapted from the book of Ecclesiastes

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time of war, a time of peace
A time of love, a time of hate
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late!

Two For Tuesday; Gloria Estefan

Coming Out Of The Dark


Why be afraid if I'm not alone
Though life is never easy the rest is unknown
Up to now for more me it's been hands against stone
Spent each and every moment
Searching for what to believe

Chorus

Coming out of the dark, I finally see the light now
It's shining on me
Coming out of the dark I know the love that saved me
You're sharing with me

Starting again is part of the plan
And I'll be so much stronger holding
your hand
Step by step I'll make it through I know I can
It may not make it easier but I have felt you
Near all the way

Chorus


Bridge

Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love
Forever I'll stand on the rock
Forever, forever I stand on the rock of your love
Love is all it takes, no matter what we face

Chorus out

Turn the Beat Around


Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

Blow horns you sure sound pretty
Violins keep movin' to the nitty gritty
But when you hear the scratch of the guitar scratchin'
Then you'll know that the rhythm carries all the action, so

Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

Flut player play you're flute 'cause
I know that you want to get your thing off
But you see I've made up my mind about it
To me it is the rhythm, no doubt about it, woah, woah
'Cause when the guitar player starts playing
With the syncopated rhythem, with the scratch, scratch, scratch
Makes me wanna move my body yeah, yeah, yeah
And when the drummer starts beating that beat
He nails that beat with the syncopated rhythm
With the rat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, on the drums, hey

Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

Turn the beat around
Love to hear percussion
Turn it upside down
Love to hear percussion
Love to hear it

HARVEST MOON
neil young

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.

ARE THERE ANY MORE REAL COWBOYS

Are there any more real cowboys
Left out in these hills?
Will the fire hit the iron
One more time?
And will one more dusty pick-up
Coming rolling down the road
With a load of feed before the sun gets high?
Well, I hope that working cowboy never dies.

Not the one that's snortin' cocaine
When the honky-tonk's all closed
But the one that prays for more rain
Heaven knows
That the good feed brings the money
And the money buys the clothes
Not the diamond sequins shining on TV
But the kind the working cowboy really needs.

Are there any more country families
Still working hand in hand
Trying hard to stay together
And make a stand?
While the rows and rows of houses
Come creepin' up on the land
Where the cattle graze and an old grey barn still stands
Are there any more real cowboys in this land?

Are there any more real cowboys in this land?

[devilmunchkin]

Getting Close

Outside
- Stained

And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
But I leave
My burdens at the door

I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
Was for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It's from you
All the times
That I've tried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

[Sprayber]

I Still Remember

Stained
It's been awhile

It's been awhile
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
And It's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And It's been awhile
Since I could stand
on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As messed up as it all may seem
The consequences that are rendered
Have stretched myself beyond my means

And It's been awhile
Since I could say
that I wasn't addicted and
It's been awhile
Since I could say
I love myself as well and...
It's been awhile
Since I've gone and messed things up
Just like I always do
and it's been awhile
But all that stuff seems to disappear
when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As messed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've Gone and messed things up again... again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile
Since I could...
Look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way
the candles light your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still
remember just the way you taste

Everything I can't remember
As messed up as it all may seem to be,
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could...
