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

Stranger than fiction triple.

Bad Religion - Marked

if I'm a monster,
I am a willing one,
this roller coaster ride is an enticing one,
on the tip of a continuum flowing wavelike
through disorder carry me like a vessel to water

everything you see leaves a mark on your soul,
everything you feel leaves a mark on your soul,
everything you touch leaves a mark on your soul,
everything you make leaves a mark on your soul

if I can touch it,
I can destroy it,
if it's imaginable to some degree,
I can become it,
like a hungry turning vortex that just flickers to existence,
consuming bits and pieces until I'm finally extinguished

everyone you see leaves a mark on your soul,
everyone you bare leaves a mark on your soul,
everyone you touch leaves a mark on your soul,
everyone you love leaves a mark on your soul

everything you take leaves a mark on your soul,
everything you give leaves a mark on your soul,
and all the fear and loneliness that's impossible to control,
and every tear you cry leaves a mark on your soul

Bad Religion - The Handshake

Every time you shake someone's hand and it feels like your best friend,
could it be that it's only superficiality?
without regard to well-being, without an inkling of compromise,
handshakes are nothing but a subtle "**** you"
contracts determine the best friendships

this is the way of the modern world
everyone's vying for patronage
this is the way of the modern world
and something has got to give

every time you shake someone's hand,
and you share neither color or creed,
you gotta overcome the obstacles of history,
there is restrained passion, mistrust, and bigotry
and these have created the new foundations of society,
there's no harmony just class and race

this is the way of the modern world,
everyone's fighting for dominance,
this is the way of the modern world,
and something has gotta give

now I believe in unity, and I am willing to compromise,
but I'm not gonna lie or sell my soul

every time you shake someone's hand,
it determines where you stand,
and if you won't uphold your side then it's better to
fend for yourself, and shun the handshake,
someone's gotta give

Bad Religion - Television

television, television, television, television

oh yeah! I want to bask in your golden light,
submerge in electric waves,
I need my connection to the world outside

the world outside is buzzing like an angry wasp in summer,
the candidates are running, and soon the son of God is coming,
crackle mental convolutions tune in to the revolution,
whereby everyone's included so we'll never have to be alone

television, television, television, television

oh yeah! I want to bask in your golden light,
submerge in electric waves,
I need my connection to the world outside

every atom of my body, blood and sinew, bone and fibre,
I can't distil you from my blood,
you're a hungry germ inside of me,
you're my lover, you're my heroine,
my conscience and my voice,
and I know that I have learned to let you in I
will lever have to be alone

television, television, television, television

oh yeah! I want to bask in your golden light,
submerge in electric waves,
I need my connection to the world outside

I'd take after my mother but she's from a different generation,
I prefer my big brother he's so gentle and understanding,
and I learn what I can from him by the television light,
so that when I'm all alone I know everything's gonna be alright

television, television, television, television

Two For Tuesday; The Blues Brothers

Shotgun Blues


Every night I go to sleep
The blues fall down like rain
Every night I go to sleep
The blues fall down like rain
Taking pills, cheap whiskey
Just to try to ease the pain


Well it's hard to gamble
When you lose every bet
Hard to save money
When you're twenty years in debt
The blues is falling
Falling down on me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now people
And disconnect my brain
Matt 'Guitar' Murphy!


I made some mistakes
Had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work
And my whole body aches
The blues is falling
Falling down on me like rain
My life is like water
Just swirling down the drain


Well I tried standin' up
I keep on falling down
Tried standing up
Keep on fallin' down
Everywhere I go
The blues is all around

You'd better think about it twice
While you're out cheatin' on your woman
there is something I never ever dreamed of and that is


Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love


I've known so, so many fellows
All in that same old bag

to be beat on and treated so bad
Well now fellows, let me tell you something
Something I never ever dreamed of


Who's making love to your old lady

I'm not trying to run you life boy, the choice is up to you

'Til I started to straighten up
I found out it was a bit too late
Oh yeah, that's when it all started
Something I never ever dreamed of


Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love
Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love


Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love


Somebody was a lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love

"How Your Love Makes Me Feel"


I'm no poet and I know it
I don't use five dollar words
This might not sound like much compared to all the pretty things you've heard
But here's how I'd explain it since you brought it up
It won't sound like anybody else's version of love

It's like just before dark
Jump in the car
Buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kinda feelin'
That's how your love makes me feel inside
There's a cow in the road and you swerve to the left
Fate skips a beat and it scares you to death and you laugh until you cry
That's how your love makes me feel inside

It might not be more suitable for greeting cards and such
But it's a true and honest feeling and if you feel it half as much
We could go through life together without a worry or a care
Knowing deep down in our hearts that we've got something special here

It's like just before dark
Jump in the car
Buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kinda feelin'
That's how your love makes me feel inside
There's a cow in the road and you swerve to the left
Fate skips a beat and it scares you to death and you laugh until you cry
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how your love makes me feel

I have always heard you can't put love into words

It's like just before dark
Jump in the car
Buy an ice cream and see how far we can drive before it melts kinda feelin'
That's how your love makes me feel inside
There's a cow in the road and you swerve to the left
Fate skips a beat and it scares you to death and you laugh until you cry
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how your love makes me feel inside
That's how I feel
That's how your love makes me feel

Bother by stone sour

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me **** to digest
I wish I had a reason;
my flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

[Solo: Corey]

Wish I'd died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten
with its memories
Diaries left
with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother;
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on:
I'll never live down my deceit

[Paul Hanson]

Inner Circle - Bad Boys

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha want
Whatcha gonna do when sherrif John Brown
come for you tell me whatcha gonna do.

Bad boys bad boys
Watcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
when they come for you
Bad boys, bad boys
Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do
when they come for you

When you were eight
And you had bad traits
You go to school and you learn the golden rule
So why are you acting like a bloody fool
If you get hot you must get cool

Bad boys, bad boys
Watcha gonna do whatcha gonna do
When they come for you (repeat)

You chuck it on this one
You chuck it on this one
You chuck it on mother and
You chuck it on you father
You chuck it on you brother and
You chuck it on you sister
You chuck it on that one and you chuck it on me

Nobody naw give you no break
Police naw give you no break
Soldier naw give you no break
Not even you idren naw give you no break

Why did you have to act so mean don't you know
You're a human being born of a mother with
The love of a father reflections come and reflections go
I know sometimes you want to let go
I know sometimes you want to let go

America Will Always Stand
by Randy Travis

She stands in the face of evil
and will not lose hope or faith
America, the land of freedom
Still the home of the brave.

Chorus
So raise the banner, called Old Glory
Let us join our fellow man
History will tell the story,
America will always stand.

Walking through the fires of danger
There are those who gave their lives
They're the world's greatest heroes,
And we won't forget their sacrifice.

(Chorus):
So raise the banner, called Old Glory
Let us join our fellow man
History will tell the story,
America will always stand.

America is not divided
Our enemies they will be stopped.
'Cause, we the people are united
And still, one nation Under God.

(Chorus):
So raise the banner, called Old Glory
Let us join our fellow man
History will tell the story,
America will always stand.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE BROKEN-HEARTED
JIMMY RUFFIN

As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Cold and alone
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin to where
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what's become of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere

Cover You in Kisses
by John Michael Montgomery

You say it's cold back there in Denver
A foot of new snow on the ground
You're all bundled up in blankets
I'd give anything to be there with you now

I'd cover you in kisses
Hold you in my arms
That's all that I can think of
Every minute we're apart
Darlin' I've been livin'
For the moment that we touch
So I can cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love

Baby keep that fire burnin'
Pour a glass of that sweet wine
Let your hair down on your shoulders
And I'll be there just in time

To cover you in kisses
Hold you in my arms
That's all that I can think of
Every minute we're apart
Darlin' I've been livin'
For the moment that we touch
So I can cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love

Darlin' I've been livin'
For the moment that we touch
So I can cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love
I wanna cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love

[Clear Skies]

Blondie - Rapture

Toe to toe dancing very close
Body breathing almost comatose
Wall to wall people hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in rapture
Back to back sacroiliac
Spineless movement and a wild attack
Face to face sightless solitude
And it's finger popping
Twenty four hour shopping in rapture
Fab Five Freddy told me everybody's fly
DJ spinning I said "My My"
Flash is fast Flash is cool
Francois c'est pas flashe non due
And you don't stop sure shot
Go out to the parking lot
And you get in your car and drive real far
And you drive all night and then you see a light
And it comes right down and it lands on the ground
And out comes the man from Mars
And you try to run but he's got a gun
And he shoots you dead and he eats your head
And then you're in the man from Mars
You go out at night eating cars
You eat Cadillacs Lincolns too
Mercurys and Subaru
And you don't stop
You keep on eating cars
Then when there's no more cars you go out at night
And eat up bars where the people meet
Face to face
Dance cheek to cheek
One to one
Man to man
Dance toe to toe
Don't move too slow 'cause the man from Mars is through with cars
He's eating bars
Yeah wall to wall
Door to door
Hall to hall
He's gonna eat 'em all
Rapture
Be pure
Take a tour through the sewer
Don't strain your brain
Paint a train
You'll be singing in the rain
Said don't stop to the punk rock
Well now you see what you wanna be
Just have your party on TV
Cause the man from Mars won't eat up bars where the TV's on
And now he's gone back up to space where he won't have a hassle with
the human race
And you hip hop
And you don't stop
Just blast off sure shot
Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars
Get up!

Mother's Talk by Tears for Fears

My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
My features form with a change in the weather
Weekend
We can work it out
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
When the wind blows
When the mothers talk
When the wind blows
We can work it out

It's not that you're not good enough
It's just that we can make you better
Given that you pay the price
We can keep you young and tender
Following in the footsteps of a funeral pyre
You were paid not listen now your house is on fire

Wake me up when things get started
When everything starts to happen

My features form with a change in the weather

Some of us horrified
Others never talk about it
But when the weather starts to burn
Then you'll know that you're in trouble
Following in the footsteps of a soldier girl
It is time to put your clothes on and to face the world

Don't you feel your luck is changing
When everything starts to happen
Put your head right next to my heart
The beat of the drum is the fear of the dark

My features form with a change in the weather

Beyond the Sun by Babylon Whores (1997)

If a tree falls down
Does it make a sound
If there's no one to see
And if I'm all alone
Everybody's gone
Then it's the real me
Right?

And if you found yourself
To be like no one else
Who would that no one be
And if you blew your cool
With life as an april's fool
The truth could be seen?
Right?

Didn't see no world in a grain of sand
No flowers to hold in our hands
Didn't got no million in prizes
The shoe didn't fit in none of the sizes

Pull down the shade on your window
Go paint it a smiling face
Lose yourself in the shadows like days

And everything is new and bright
like vomit kisses on summer nights
A tooth for an eye and eye for a tooth
A truth for an eye a lie for a tooth
They say
If there is a Beast
And your soul's diseased
Would you take its hand
If God don't love you
Just be a man
And be God damned
Oh won't you just let it come
Say hi, the enemy of sun
Oh it's there just look deep within
Growing bigger with your feeble sins

Pull out your heart through the rib cage
Go paint it a smiling face
Leave a scarab in its place

Would you believe that the earth is hollow
And our path is the straight and narrow
Toothe fairies and Santa Claus
There's troll's blood in all of us

Would you believe that there's nothing more for us
No more hate
No more love
No fight and fuss
When everything is said, denied and done
Beyond the sun


Beyond the Sun by Babylon Whores (1996, different lines in italic)

If a tree falls down
Does it make a sound
If there's no one to see
And if I'm all alone
Everybody's gone
Then it's the real me
Right?

And if I see the moon
In the afternoon
Is it day or night

And is it self pity
Or plain stupidity
To mourn a live that has died

Didn't see no world in a grain of sand
No flowers to hold in our hands
Didn't got no million in prizes
The shoe didn't fit in none of the sizes

Pull down the shade on your window
Go paint it a smiling face
Lose yourself in the shadows like days

And everything is new and bright
like vomit kisses on summer nights
A tooth for an eye and eye for a tooth
A truth for an eye a lie for a tooth
A truth for a lie a lie for truth
They say

If there is a Beast
And your soul's diseased
Would you take its hand

Just let it blow your cool
And your life's an april's fool
In never neverland

Well don't you just let it come
Say hi, the enemy of sun
Oh it's there just look deep within
Growing bigger with your feeble sins

Pull out your heart through the rib cage
Go paint it a smiling face
Leave a scarab in its place

Would you believe that the earth is hollow
And our path is the straight and narrow
Toothe fairies and Santa Claus
There's troll's blood in all of us

Would you believe that there's nothing more for us
No more hate
No more love
No fight and fuss
When everything is said, denied and done

Zwei fur Dienstag - The Beatles

Just cos I've had random songs by them floating through my head all day...

Yellow Submarine

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
in our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

(Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is, Sgt.
Cut the cable, drop the cable
Aye, Sir, aye
Captain, captain)

As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
Yellow submarine...

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Life goes on, bra

And in the evening she's a singer with the band

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da

A Little Help From My Friends by the Beatles

What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
and I'll try not to sing out of key

I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
Does it worry you to be alone
How do you feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you're on your own

I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love

Would you belive in a love at first sight
Yes, I´m certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can´t tell you, but I know it's mine

I get by with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends
Gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love

I get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends

U2 - The Playboy Mansion

If Coke is a mystery
Michael Jackson.... History
If beauty is truth
And surgery, the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gift to get my through
The gates of that mansion

If OJ is more than a drink
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows, confession
Another push and we'll be through
The gates of that mansion

I never bought a Lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone's space
The banks feel like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love, come on down
Don't wake her, she'll come around

Chance is a kind of religion
Where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love, come on down
Let my numbers come around

Don't know if I can hold one
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
Until the colors come flashing
And the lights go on

Then there will be no time for sorrow
Then there will be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe

We'll go driving in that pool
It's who you know that gets you through
The gates of the playboy mansion
But they don't mention.... the pain

There will be no time for sorrow
There will be no time for shame
There will be no time for sorrow
There will be no time for shame

Alanis Morisette - 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
And 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
And 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.


10,000 Maniacs - Like The Weather

The color of the sky as far as I can see is coal grey.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again.
With a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lips as if I might cry.

Well by the force of will my lungs are filled and so I breathe.
Lately it seems this big bed is where I never leave.
Shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
Quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away."

I hear the sound of a noon bell chime.
Now I'm far behind.
You've put in 'bout half a day
while here I lie
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my lip as if I might cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"

Do I need someone here to scold me
or do I need someone who'll grab and pull me out of this four poster dull torpor pulling downward.
For it is such a long time since my better days.
I say my prayers nightly this will pass away.

The color of the sky is grey as I can see through the blinds.
Lift my head from the pillow and then fall again
with a shiver in my bones just thinking about the weather.
A quiver in my voice as I cry,

"What a cold and rainy day. Where on earth is the sun hid away?"
I shiver, quiver, and try to wake
