You Can Tell Everybody, This Is Your Song - Lyrics

[SlowwHand]

Captain Jack
Billy Joel

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
You're tired of livin' in your one horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while...

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine
And you smile...

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah, yeah

Your sister's gone out, she's on a date
And you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon, but you just can't wait
For that call...

So you stand on the corner in your new English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
But still your fingers gonna pick your nose
After all...

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah, yeah

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah but there's no place to go anyway
And what for...

You've got everything but nothing's cool,
They've just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore...

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah, yeah

So you play your albums and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh, but still you're aching for the things you haven't got
What went wrong...

And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
And why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well, you're twenty-one and still your mother makes your bed
and that's too long...

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push 'n' you'll be smilin'
La da da, Oh yeah, yeah
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Yeah, Captain Jack will get you by tonight

"Why Don't You And I"
by Santana and Chad Kroeger


Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with butterflies
Ooh and it's alright
Bouncing around from cloud to cloud
Got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down
If I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied ooooh
And everytime I try to talk to you
I get tounge tied turns out
Everything I say to you
Comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
We'll take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will, Tails we'll try again
And I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
And fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
When's this fever gonna break
I think I've handled more than any man can take
I'm like a love sick puppy chasing you around
Oooh and i'ts alright
Bouncing around from cloud to cloud
I got the feeling like I'm never gonna down
And if I said I didn't like it then you'd know I'd lied
Oooh
And everytime I'd try to talk to you I'd get tounge tied turns out
Everything I say to you comes out wrong and never comes out right
So I'm singing
Why Don't you and I get together
Let's take on the world and be together forever Heads we will and Tails we'll try again
So I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
We'll fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
Slowly I begin to realise that this is never gonna end and the moment you walk by it's like oh here we go again oh
So I'm singing
Why Don't you and I get together
We'll take on the world and be together forever
Heads we will and tails we'll try again
And I'm singing
Why Don't You and I get together
And fly to the moon and straight on to Heaven
'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
(repeat to fade)

Anemologio (wind + word)

Yoryos Dalaras


History got stink out (said) that we're through

We are, she says, the odd song inside the beautiful odes


And, finally, shut up rhetors, you've talked too much

From here on, we'll be playing in this thiasos (theater) only as ghosts

Down the flags on the boulevards where we paraded

They say the anemologio and the horizons have changed

They do us a favour that they tolerate us and that we laughed

Now publicly, only the knowedgables will have a microphone

Reports got out and it was officially announced

We are the mistake in the chapter of the mistaken verse

The rotten world there as it was rotting, revitalized

And our revolts are now in general out of climate (out of place)

The slut history declared that we got old

The garbage cars collect our fixations

Dreams foreign but also allotria (alien, degrading) we cheered

And now we receive from the audience sits rain the coins (coins as many as rain)

She ripped apart the slut history ancient visions

Now she sends us for service and for chamomile

Her virginity we reconstituted tighly with stiches

We carried her and she carried us to the windmile.

[Bereta_Eder]

Velzevul

Dalaras


Velzevul rang my bell at early dawn
devil poor devil and desesparated full
Look at what you can do 'cause I'm broke and dry
The aboves threw me in washing, I'm looking for a good deal
It doesn't say to trust the civilized
They legally drive you out of your home even the hellish ones
Oi there little devil, Hell's chiefs dug your lake
He fell to the living room, flat out , the away of here
Pathetic, thrice pathetic, I'm ashamed to see
I no longer have prestige and respect even if I was Eva's loverboy
Not even the religious ones fear me anymore and they think I'm dirty scotch
It doesn't say to trust the ethics of the market
The way they've screwed up the fairytale
Oi there little devil, Hell's chiefs dug your lake
He shivered inside his cape, dead tired Velzevoul
Miserable, all miserable but he remained cool
Do you know someone who has vices, I give the organs for cuttlery
Give wire to your buddies in case we sell the firm
And if you know a hellbend what's his offer
to take a devil out of charity
Oi there little devil, Hell's chiefs dug your lake

[SlowwHand]

San Francisco
Scott McKenzie

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there

Crimson Thunder

By HAMMERFALL

We are the voices in the dark
Inside the fire we are the
Eternal Spark that will guide the way

We are the stars up in sky
We gather winds so you can fly
We are the light when you're sleeping

All your dreams can come true
"Where do we go?"
We're just a heartbeat away

Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder
We will stay by your side
Let our voices be there to guide you

We are forces in the rain
Inside your heart we are the
unending answer to all your fears

So take a step towards the light
The crimson sky fullfills the night
The revelation is near

All your dreams can come true
"Where do we go?"
We're just a heartbeat away

Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder...
We will stay by your side
Let our voices be there to guide you


All your dreams can come true...

Follow the signs of the Crimson Thunder...

Snow Patrol on Sunday

A new Brit band, just released their (debut?) album, Final Straw, and it's fantastic. Absolutly fantastic. I'm actually shocked by how much I like this.

How to be Dead

Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened and you never will
If you don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours til i'm sure what I want
But darlin' I want the same thing as I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up, I won't stop. No way.

Please keep your hands down and stop raising your voice
It's hardly what i'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion, can you give me some time?
So just say yes or no, why can't you shoulder the blame?
Cos' both my shoulders are heavy from the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said. Oh my God.

Please take it easy, it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes that you've listed so far
Baby let me explain something, it's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems i've stepped over lines you've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definately out
Doctor Jekyll is wrestling Hyde with my pride.


Run

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all i've done.

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Anywhere from here

Light up, Light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
It makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess.

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear.


Somewhere a Clock is Ticking

I’ve got this feeling, that there’s something that I missed
(I could do most anything to you)
Don’t you breathe, don’t you breathe
(I could do most anything to you)
Something happened that I never understood
(I could do most anything to you)
You can’t leave, you can’t leave

Every second dripping off my finger tips
(I could do most anything to you)
Wage your war, wage your war
(I could do most anything to you)
Another soldier says he’s not afraid to die
(I could do most anything to you)
I am scared, I’m so scared

In slow motion the blast is beautiful
(I could do most anything to you)
Doors slam shut, doors slam shut
(I could do most anything to you)
A clock is ticking but it’s hidden far away
(I could do most anything to you)
Safe and sound, safe and sound

(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you)
(I could do most anything to you).

for Ramo:

Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos, Public Enemy, as performed by Seputura.

I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a damn I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it but just that very minute...
It occurred to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen
I gotta get out - but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime - never the less
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength, the situation's unreal
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel

They got me rottin' in the time that I'm servin'
Tellin' you what happened the same time they're throwin'
4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well
The same mother****er got us livin' is his hell
You have to realize - what its a form of slavery
Organized under a swarm of devils
Straight up - word'em up on the level
The reasons are several, most of them federal
Here is my plan anyway and I say
I got gusto, but only some I can trust - yo
Some do a bid from 1 to 10
And I never did, and plus I never been
I'm on a tier where no tears should ever fall
Cell block and locked - I never clock it y'all
'Cause time and time again time
They got me servin' to those and to them
I'm not a citizen
But ever when I catch a C-O
Sleepin' on the job - my plan is on go-ahead
On the strength, I'm tell you the deal
I got nothin' to lose
'Cause I'm goin' for the steel

You know I caught a C-O
Fallin' asleep on death row
I grabbed his gun - then he did what I said so
And everyman's got served
Along with the time they served
Decency was deserved
To understand my demands
I gave a warnin' - I wanted the governor, y'all
And plus the warden to know
That I was innocent -
Because I'm militant
Posing a threat, you bet it's ****in' up the government
My plan said I had to get out and break north
Just like with Oliver's neck
I had to get off - my boys had the feds in check
They couldn't do nuthin'
We had a force to instigate a prison riot
This is what it takes for peace
So I just took the piece
Black for Black inside time to cut the leash
Freedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out
6 C-Os we got we ought to put their head out
But I'll give 'em a chance, cause I'm civilized
As for the rest of the world, they can't realize
A cell is hell - I'm a rebel so I rebel
Between bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
Got a woman C-O to call me a copter
She tried to get away, and I popped her
Twice, right
Now who wanna get nice?
I had 6 C-Os, now it's 5 to go
And I'm serious - call me delirious
But I'm still a captive
I gotta rap this
Time to break as time grows intense
I got the steel in my right hand
Now I'm lookin' for the fence

I ventured into the courtyard
Followed by 52 brothers
Bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
Goin' out with a bang
Ready to bang out
But power from the sky
And from the tower shots rang out
A high number of dose - yes
And some came close
Figure I trigger my steel
Stand and hold my post
This is what I mean - an anti-****** machine
If I come out alive and then they won't - come clean
And then I threw up my steel bullets - flew up
Blew up, who shot...
What, who, the bazooka was who
And to my rescue, it was the S1Ws
Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway
The joint broke, from the black smoke
Then they saw it was rougher than the average bluffer
'Cause the steel was black, the attitude exact
Now the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon
53 brothers on the run, and we are gone

Tsamiko

Savopoulos

So many people went by him and got past him. What could it be he asks?
A provincial in Omonia inside the thin rain, beginning of May
Multicoloured souls and not even a face. What is he waiting for?
Clarinets playing, people partying. What’s the time? What’s the time?
Foreign up to his joy Saturday midnight
My all lonely little songs if I met you I would have gotten somewhere
Inside your rhythm I dream and I go abroad on its steps
Somewhere around here, I know some people but let me not weight on them in such an hour
Long live Greece and everything that’s lonely in this world:
Ellassona, Levadia, Melbourne, Munich, Alamana, and Gravia, America, Velestino, 40 Saints, Eski Shechir
Kostas, Kostas, Manolis. Petros, Giannis, Takis
Navarino Plaza, Administration and Exarhia street, Alekos, Vassilis, Aggelos
Bizaniou and Ascension street, Holy Trinity’s and 25th of March
Greece that resists, Greece that persists
And whoever doesn’t understand, he doesn’t know where he stands and where he’s going
Welcome my bird, my Greek loneliness
From love you leave, you come, you come and go like my breath
And from the deserted distance my feast takes substance
And from our two rivers, the desert will one day taste fruit.

The power of Harrison is that he can make me love a song the point of which I tend to disagree with.

three for thursday:

"the fragile," nine inch nails.

she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away

I won't let you fall apart

she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if I could fix myseld I'd - but it's too late for me

I wont let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

it's something I have to do
I was there, too
before everyhting else
I was like you

i won't let you fall apart.


"The Day The World Went Away"
I'd listen to the words he'd say
but in his voice I heard decay
the plastic face forced to portray
all the insides left cold and gray
there is a place that still remains
it eats the fear it eats the pain
the sweetest price he'll have to pay
the day the whole world went away


"The Great Below"

staring at the sea
will she come?
is there hope for me
after all is said and done
anything at any price
all of this for you
all the spoils of a wasted life
all of this for you
all the world has closed her eyes
tried faith all worn and thin
for all we could have done
and all that could have been

ocean pulls me close
and whispers in my ear
the destiny I've chose
all becoming clear
the currents have their say
the time is drawing near
washes me away
makes me disappear

I descend from grace
in arms of undertow
I will take my place
in the geat below

I can still feel you
even so far away

[SlowwHand]

Triple Shot Thursday; Blood, Sweat, and Tears

You've Made Me So Very Happy

I lost at love before
Got mad and closed the door
But you said "Try, just once more"
I chose you for the one
Now we're having so much fun
You treated me so kind
I'm about to lose my mind
You made me so very happy

The others were untrue
But when it came to loving you
I'd spend my whole life with you
Cause you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You always showed me that
Loving you was where it's at
You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life yeah

I love you so much you see
You're even in my dreams
I can hear you, I can hear you callin me
I'm so in love with you
All I ever want to do is
Thank you baby, thank you baby

You made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
You made me so very happy
You made me so so very happy baby
I'm so glad you came
Into my life
I want to thank you girl
Every day of my life
I want to thank you
You made me so very happy (fade)

And When I Die


I'm not scared of dying,
And I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying,
And if dying time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin

And when I die, and when I'm gone,
There'll be one child born

Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell.
Yes only my dying will tell.
Yeah, only my dying will tell.

Chorus

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.
Oh I want to go naturally.

Here I go,
Hey Hey!
Here comes the devil,
Right Behind.
Look out children,
Here he comes!
Here he comes! Hey...

Don't want to go by the devil.
Don't want to go by demon.
Don't want to go by Satan,
Don't want to die uneasy.
Just let me go naturally.

and when I die,
When I'm dead, dead and gone,
There'll be one child born in our world to carry on,
To carry on.
Yeah, yeah...

I listen to the wind

Where I'll end up well I think,
only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never

I listen to my words but
they fall far below
I let my music take me where
my heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil's lake
But never, never never never
I'll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never

For Ming, Who Constantly Walks On A Thin Line With Me

"Tea For The Tillerman"

Walking on a Thin Line
Huey Lewis and the News

Sometimes in my bed at night
I curse the dark and a pray for light
And sometimes, the light's no consolation
Blinded by a memory
Afraid of what it might do to me
And the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door
The one you find so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fighting for?
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me
Taught me how to shoot to kill
A specialist with a deadly skill
A skill I needed to have to be a survivor
It's over now or so they say
Well, sometimes, it don't turn out that way
Cause your never the same when you've been under fire
Don't you know me I'm the boy next door
The one you find so easy to ignore
Is that what I was fighting for?
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Labeled as freaks loose on the streets of the city
Walking on a thin line
Straight off the front line
Take a look at my face, see what it's doing to me

God's Golden Sperm
Death in June

Paranoia is an icy start
But a start, nonetheless
A convenient memory is a gift from God
A gift from life and sodomy

The domination of lies
Break and brand all secret dreams
Divine, god like, gold like, sperm like
We gather, we sow, we scheme

And phrase for us, near certainty
The siren voids all fool's destiny
The death will seal their prince liberty
Courting sudden endless, earthless, vacancy

The domination of lies
Break and brand all secret dreams
Divine, god like, gold like, sperm like
We gather, we sow, we scheme

Paranoia is an icy start
But a start, nonetheless
A convenient memory is a gift from God
Bereft of life and sodomy

The siren voids old fool's destiny
The death will seal their crown prince liberty
