A Song For You. (Lyrics Thread)

[self biased]

Mudvayne, Fear.

fear is an emotion inside us
deeper growing my deaths content
eating away our insides
watching themselves and they step out of skin
so darkness it surrounds the being
memories ressurected of pain
remembered what ??
were reminded then
of a the fear thats inside us and we'll give in today

fear
f*ck you
fear
its inside you

why am i here? because you invited me
i cant help for your insecurity
you cant hide it from me cause im inside of you
i took it from you because your a freak show

i mend my soul without reason
patiently concience restrained
my life feels so nice
it seems my darkness disguised entity
shrouded in lifetimes of misery
turned and it swells in my fate
repeated what?
disregarded then
of the visions in my mind reflected mistake

fear
f*ck you
fear
its inside you

why am i here? because you invited me
i cant help for your insecurity
you cant hide it from me cause im inside of you
i took it from you because your a freak show

why?

hostile manner thats my fear
sets back in my body goodnight
relayed needles
now floating feeling with soul striped from rine
wrapping dead bodies accending
vision restored to my eyes
confidence what ??
through defiance why ?
ive just now lifted from dead soiled time

fear
f*ck you
fear
im inside you
my hand upon you
your life gets a clue im finished

why am i here? because you invited me
i cant help for your insecurity
you cant hide it from me cause im inside of you
i took it from you because your a freak show

fear its violent
sleeping inside me
cry out just cant sickness inside me
sickness full of weakness in motion
please let me free now get out of me
fear


Nailbomb, The Sum of Your Acheivements.

Children burning crawling dying
Knowledge and science used as toys
Splitting neutrons we made us a bomb
No advences in the war

The sum of your achievements

Voicom in us something to be proud of?

Achieve destruction obliteration
Now the west invasion
Going further backwards, discover new arms
Science is working to destroy us all

(Nagasaki)
(Hiroshima)
(All of us)...



Queens of the Stone Age, God is in the Radio.

I thought I saw him on the video
A trance is keeping him under
I know that god is in the radio
Checkin the station
I'm glad I caught it from me to you
Just a call in the medium
I know hear it, I hear it too
It's everywhere that I go

You come back another day
And do no wrong

The say the devil is paranoid
Always signin the cover
But god is leakin through the stereo
Between the station to station
You believe it, I know you do
You won't admit it or say so
I know that god is in the radio
Just repeating a slogan

You come back another day
And do no wrong


Audioslave, I am the Highway.

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liards don't wait for me
I'll get on ll by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel

I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night


Fear Factory, Strain vs. Resistance.

Strain! you can resist the...

A gun in hand can make you believe
In everything that's meant to decieve
Trigger and an eye for disease
Conditioned to resist the machine

I'm not afraid to live this way

I lived through pain
Resisted all the strain
Conditioned to believe in nothing

Now that i can see
The truth behind deceit
Nothing now can ever stop me
Never stop me

Strain! you can resist the...

Elusive, i am so hard to trace
A slap of fear across your face
A weapon to cleanse the waste
To overcome this gut-wrenching place

I'm not afraid to live this way

I lived through pain
Resisted all the strain
Conditioned to believe in nothing

I'm not afraid to live this way

I lived through pain
Resisted all the strain
Conditioned to believe in nothing

You can resist the strain!

Dead Can Dance, Severance.

Severance
The birds of leaving call to us,
Yet here we stand
endowed with the fear of flight.
Overland
The winds of change consume the land,
While we remain
In the shadow of summers now past.
When all the leaves
Have fallen and turned to dust,
Will we remain
Entrenched within our ways.
Indifference,
The plague that moves throughout this land
Omen signs
In the shapes of things to come.

Tomorrow's child is the only child.


Bauhaus, Burning from the Inside.

Running without aim
Through the razor weeds
That only reach my knees
And when I'm lying in the grey sleep
I don't know how to walk the boards
I open my eyes, and look at the floor
And now I don't see you anymore

There is no choice, we make the point
To counteract a threatening hand
Close my hold
As we near the atmosphere

Indian Rain--Iluvatar 15:42

clouds roll under thunder, skies swell to the cold
indian rain hides my teardrops. how many rainbows can you hold?
why do we always question the innocence of home?
all the while they hold my boundaries,
making my way across your plain.
wide awake come monday morning, clouded images on hold
feeling the scrapes from other torment,
facing the day across the grain

i see you've made the race, welcome to the room
a name without a face to hide within the womb
you've waited all of this time and followed me through my years
and now a guest in my place, i'll promise you the moon
though your body may be cold, burning fast is your soul
rest assured you're not alone, never try this on your own.

i see it in the eyes of people. that walk past me everyday
all the while they're cold, they just turn away
somewhere out on the ocean,
the sea that keeps the stars in the sky
(we're) all alone and time before time,
we were amazed by what we've done
no thoughts will come over you, or make you feel inclined to
make changes to better you, just look away

didn't i tell you i was part in that?
just another enigma in friday's sobriquet
a stranger in waiting, tomorrow's letters kept
didn't i tell you i never knew her name
i see you've joined the race welcome to the room
a name without a place to hide within the womb
you've waited all of this time i've followed you through the years
and now my time has come to introduce the moon

hear the cries across the counties, calling children to their homes
indian rain they hide the teardrops,
of every warrior that comes home
wide awake on sunday morning,
to witness their arms stretched as one
towards the heavens they lift their teardrops,
sending one of the family to her grave

did you ever think to call, before closing the gate?
and now you land on my door
shedding your light on my doorway,
and locking away my tears, wash away my tears.
you've got them thinking you were a star,
the one God had sent to you promising them a better way.
shine your light on my doorway,
and make better all the years with one touch of yours.

Triple Shot Thursday; Johnny Paycheck- RIP

Satin Sheets

Now you once told me I was good for nothing
You couldn't live on my dreams and crystal balls
But his money couldn't buy you my loving
So I guess I'm good for something after all

Slide off of your satin sheets
Slip down from your lonely street
You know where to find my door
I know what you're cry, cry - ing for

You once told me I was good for nothing
You had to live in style in marble halls
But still with all of that youâre not happy
So I guess Iâm good for something after all

Slide off of your satin sheets
Slip down to my lonely street
You know where to find my door
And I know what you're cry crying for

She's All I Got

Friend don't take her, she's all I got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm begging you friend, don't take her, she's all I got
She's everything in life I'll ever need

She is life when I want to live
She's everything to me in life that life can give
She's my water when I need a drink
She's the first thought in my mind each time I try to think

She's my fingers when I want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love I know
She could kiss the ground in the winter time and make a flower grow

I said friend don't take her, she's all I got
I'm a begging you friend don't take her she's all I got
Everything to me friend don't take her she's all I got
Now we're talking friend don't take her she's all I got

The Only Hell My Momma Ever Raised

Well, I cant sell my momma short on loving me,
I guess that's why she let me go so far,
Momma always stopped me short of stealing,
I guess thats why I had to steal that car,
She told me not to smoke it, but I did and it took me far away,
And I turned out to be, THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.

I pulled into Atlanta
stolen tags and almost out of gas,
I had to get some money, and lately I'd learned how to get it fast,
Those neon lights was calling me
and somehow I had to get downtown,
I reached into the glovebox, another liquor store went down.

CHORUS:
And I sing "Precious Memories," take me back to the good ol' days.
I can hear my momma singing, "Rock of Ages" clept(?) for me,
She tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the devil's ways,
And I turned out to be...THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.

When they put those handcuffs on me,
Lord how I fought to resist,
But that agent clamped'em tighter, 'til that metal bit into my wrist,
They took my boots and my billfold,
my fingerprints, and the profile of my face,
Then they locked away, THE ONLY HELL MY MOMMA EVER RAISED.

Chorus.

Gift of Screws
Lindsey Buckingham
Demo

Since you're faithful posters in the lyrics thread, you see it here first.

Way down here everybody needs
Authority makes us bleed,bleed,bleed

Essential oils are wrung
The attar from the rose
Is not expressed by suns alone
It is the gift of screws

Way down here everybody frowns
Authority keeps us down,down,down

Essential oils are wrung
The attar from the rose
Is not expressed by suns alone
It is the gift of screws

Essential oils are wrung
The attar from the rose
Is not expressed by suns alone
It is the gift of screws

To the left
To the right
Up and down
In and out
To the left
To the right
Up and down
In and out
And around
That's right baby
That's right baby

When Love Dies"
by Brooks & Dunn



Love conquers all and someday it'll conquer you
There's nothing finer than falling all in it when love is true
But once it goes out and breaks your heart
It still ain't history
When love dies it don't rest in peace



You can lock your doors and windows to keep the pain at bay
Yesterday may be dead and gone, but the past won't go away
It's waiting right around every corner
With a heartache you don't need
When love dies it don't rest in peace



Oh when love dies
You can't bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace



How does love die then come back a ghost rattling chains
It keeps on haunting my broken heart, driving me insane
I hear it whisper my name in the night
Just like it still lives and breathes
When love dies it don't rest in peace

Oh when love dies
You can't bury those memories
Oh when love dies
It disappears but it never leaves
When love dies it don't rest in peace

When love dies it don't rest in peace
When love dies it don't rest in peace

[SlowwHand]

Hope You're Feeling Better
Santana


Is that you
Your eyes slowly fading?
Is that you
Your mind full of tears?
Is that you
Searching for a good time?
Is that you
Waiting for all these years?


Chorus:
And I hope you're feelin' better
Yes I hope you're feelin' good
Yes I hope you're feelin' better


Is that you?
Look across the ocean
Is that you
Thinkin nothin' is really there?
Is that you
Waiting for the sunshine?
Is that you
When all you see is glare?


Chorus


Is that you
Who never saw your baby?
Is that you
Who never had a friend?
Is that you
Movin' to a new town?
Is that you
Will diamonds replace your friends?


Chorus

The Fat Lady Of Limbourgh
Brian Eno

Well I rang up Pantucci spoke to Lucia
Gave them all they needed to know
If affairs are proceeding as we're expecting
Soon enough the weak spots will show
I assume you understand that we have options on your time
And will ditch you in the harbour if we must
But if it all works out nicely, you'll get the bonus you deserve
From doctors we trust.


The Fat Lady of Limbourgh
Looked at the samples that we sent
And furrowed her brow
You would never believe that
She'd tasted Royalty and Fame
If you saw her now
But her sense of taste is such that she'll distinguish with her tongue
The subtleties a spectrograph would miss
And announce her decision while demanding her reward
A jelly fish kiss.


Now we checked out this duck quack
Who laid a big egg oh so black it shone just like gold.
And the kids from the city finding it pretty
Took it home and there it was sold
It was changing hands for weeks
Till someone left it by their fire
And it melted to a puddle on the floor
For it was only a candle a Roman scandal
Oh oh and now it's a pool.


That's what we're paid for
That's what we're paid for
That's what we're paid for here.

Whatever Happened To My Rock 'N' Roll (Punk Song)
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

(Spoken) 1...2...3...4!

You want a part of me
You want the whole thing
You want to feel something more than I could ever bring
You want it badly
You want it tangled
I want to feel something more than I was strangled

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

She wants it hallow
She wants it tainted
She wants to feel something more than she was naked
You want to hide away
You can't touch it
I want to feel something more than I care to take

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion
Whatever happened to you, rock'nroll?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

She wants your image
She wants your kiss
She wants to get inside your head and tell it like it is
You want it badly
You want it so completele
I want to feel something more cos I can't f***in' breathe

I fell in love with the sweet sensation
I gave my heart to a simple chord
I gave my soul to a new religion (rock'n'roll)
Whatever happened to you, rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to our rock'n'roll?
Whatever happened to my rock'n'roll?

Political Science
Randy Newman

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

Second Wind
Darryl Worley



There's an old friendly breeze that blows in the Gulf of Mexico
Somehow it always knows when I'm feeling low
So I'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around
Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah that's how I'll pass the time


Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind


There's a peace in the way I feel when the water's still
And as long as it's calm out here I've got time to kill
But as soon as it starts to stir I'll lose track of the way things were
Float away on the open air, but I'm not going anywhere



Till I catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength I lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess I'll just stay out here until I know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till I catch my second wind

[Clear Skies]

And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown...

Bob Dylan - Blowing in the Wind

How many roads must a man walk down, before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail, before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly, before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist, before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist, before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head, and pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many times must a man look up, before he can see the sky
How many years must one man have, before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows, that too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

In Held ('twas) in I--Transatlantic 17:21
originally by Procol Harum

In the darkness of the night, only occasionally relieved by glimpses of Nirvana as seen through other people's windows, wallowing in a morass of self-despair made only more painful by the knowledge that all I am is of my own making ...

When everything around me, even the kitchen ceiling, has collapsed and crumbled without warning. And I am left, standing alive and well, looking up and wondering why and wherefore.

At a time like this, which exists maybe only for me, but is nonetheless real, if I can communicate, and in the telling and the bearing of my soul anything is gained, even though the words which I use are pretentious and make you cringe with embarrassment, let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama.

He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation. After the five years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama's presence, who said, 'Well, my son, what do you wish to know?' So the pilgrim said, 'I wish to know the meaning of life, father.'
And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, 'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?'

Held close by that which some despise
which some call fake, and others lies
And somewhat small for one so tall
a doubting Thomas who would be?
It's written plain for all to see
for one who I am with no more
it's hard at times, it's all gone wrong

They say that Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor
and those unsure believed his eyes - a strange disguise
Still write it down, it might be read
nothing's better left unsaid
only sometimes, still no doubt
it's hard to see, it all works out

In the autumn of my madness
when my hair is turning grey
for the milk has finally curdled
and I've nothing left to say
When all my thoughts are spoken
(save my last departing birds)
bring all my friends unto me
and I'll strangle them with words

In the autumn of my madness
which in coming won't be long
for the nights are now much darker
and the daylight's not so strong
and the things which I believed in
are no longer quite enough
for the knowing is much harder
and the going's getting rough

I know if I'd been wiser
this would never have occurred
but I wallowed in my blindness
so it's plain that I deserve
for the sin of self-indulgence
when the truth was writ quite clear
I must spend my life amongst the dead
who spend their lives in fear
of a death that they're not sure of,
of a life they can't control
It's all so simple really
if you just look to your soul

Some say that I'm a wise man,
some think that I'm a fool
It doesn't matter either way:
I'll be a wise man's fool
For the lesson lies in learning
and by teaching I'll be taught
for there's nothing hidden anywhere,
it's all there to be sought
And so if you know anything
look closely at the time
at others who remain untrue
and don't commit that crime
