Alanis Morissette - Dogma Soundtrack - Still

I am the harm which you inflict
I am your brilliance and frustration
I'm the nuclear bombs if they're to hit
I'm your immaturaty and your indignance

I am your misfits and your praised
I am your doubt and your conviction
I am your charity and your rape
I am your grasping and expectation

I see you averting your glances
I see you cheering on the war
I see you ignoring your children
And I love you still
And I love you still

I am your joy and your regret
I am your fury and your elation
I am your yearning and your sweat
I am your faithless and your religion

I see you altering history
I see you abusing the land
I see you and your selective amnesia
And I love you still
And I love you still

I am your tragedy and your fortune
I am your crisis and delight
I am your profits and your prophets
I am your art, I am your bytes

I am your death and your decisions
I am your passion and your plights
I am your sickness and convalescence
I am your weapons and your light

I see you holding your grudges
I see you gunning them down
I see you silencing your sisters
And I love you still
And I love you still

I see you lie to your country
I see you forcing them out
I see you blaming each other
And I love you still
And I love you still

Gary Jules - Mad world (Originally performed by Tears for Fears)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places – worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere – going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression – no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow – no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very very
mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday – happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen – sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me – no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me – look right through me

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very very
Mad world . . . world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

Ultravox - Dancing with tears in my eyes

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died

Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes.

Dancing with tears in my eyes

Dancing with tears in my eyes.

Ouch.....that is too close to home for me right now

Tiamat - "The Sleeping Beauty" from the album 'Clouds'

Alone I sit, I wonder why
You dream of love and so do I
But in your sleep you cannot see
This pain which is always haunting me
What I need I'll never feel
This world is for me unreal
So I drink to darkness with a candle lit
And through the whole night alone I sit

The Sleeping Beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world

The more I drink, the more I see
That suicide could be the key
To the place called paradise
Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies
But if I look beyond all this
I reckon something I would surely miss
Because in my dreams I rule my world
And the sleeping beauty is my wife

The Sleeping Beauty
She stops the bleeding
She stops the bleeding in my soul
She is fresh air in this stinking world

 

[Fluid]

This song is fecking great.

Dennis Leary - *******

I'm just a regular Joe, with a regular job
I'm your average white, suburbanite slop
I like football and porno and books about war
I got an average house, with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table, and a Cuban cigar

But sometimes that just ain't enough to keep
a man like me interested
(oh no, no way, uh uh)
No I gotta go out and have fun at someone else's expense
(woah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
I drive really slow in the ultra-fast lane
While people behind me are going insane

I'm an ******* (he's an *******)
I'm an ******* (he's an *******, such an *******)

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat
I walk around in the summertime saying "how about this heat?"

I'm an ******* (he's an *******)
I'm an ******* (he's the world's biggest *******)

Sometimes I park in the handicap spaces
While handicapped people make handicap faces

I'm an ******* (he's an *******)
I'm an ******* (he's a real ****ing *******)

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong
Nah

I'm an ******* (he's an *******)
I'm an ******* (he's the world's biggest *******)

You know what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac El Dorado convertible
Hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And make brown baby seal lions for head lights (yeah!)
And I'm gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin' 1 mile per gallon,
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those greeseball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers
right out the side
And there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why, because we've got the bombs, that's why
2 words, nuclear ****in' weapons, OK?!
Russia, Germany, Romania,
they can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cakewalk
Right through the middle of Tianamen Square
and it won't make a lick of difference
Because we've got the bombs, OK?!
John Wayne's not dead, he's frozen,
and as soon as we find a cure for cancer
We're gonna thaw out the Duke
and he's gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why,
Have you ever taken a cold shower,
well multiply that by 15 million times
That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be!
I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Castive Eddies,
and Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckenthorp, and a case of whiskey,
and drive down to Texas...

(Hey! You know, you really are an *******!)
Why don't you just shut up and sing the song, pal?
I'm an ******* (he's an *******)
I'm an ******* (he's the world's biggest *******)

A-S-S-H-O-L-E
Everybody
A-S-S-H-O-L-E

I'm an ******* and I'm proud of it.

...my favorite lyricist on the planet...

One of the most covered songwriters Ever - and for goooood reasonl.

Get Behind the Mule
(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan)

Molly be damned smote Jimmy the Harp
With a horrid little pistol and a lariat
She's goin to the bottom
And she's goin down the drain
Said she wasn't big enough to carry it

She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
She got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Choppity chop goes the axe in the woods
You gotta meet me by the fall down tree
Shovel of dirt upon a coffin lid
And I know they'll come lookin for me boys
And I know they'll come a-lookin for me

Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow
Got to get behind the Mule
In the morning and plow

Big Jack Earl was 8'1
He stood in the road and he cried
He couldn't make her love him
Couldn't make her stay
But tell the good Lord that he tried

(Chorus)

Dusty trail from Atchison to Placerville
On the wreck of the Weaverville stage
Beaula fired on Beatty for a lemonade
I was stirring my brandy with a nail boys
Stirring my brandy with a nail

(Chorus)

Well the rampaging sons of the widow James
Jack the cutter and the pock marked kid
Had to stand naked at the bottom
Of the cross
And tell the good lord what they did
Tell the good lord what they did

(Chorus)

Punctuated birds on the power line
In a Studebaker with the Birdie Joe Joaks
I'm diggin all the way to China
With a silver spoon
While the hangman fumbles with the noose, boys
The hangman fumbles with the noose

(Chorus)

Pin your ear to the wisdom post
Pin your eye to the line
Never let the weeds get higher
Than the garden
Always keep a sapphire in your mind
Always keep a diamond in your mind

(Chorus)

 

[Lizard Of Oz]

Sheep - Roger Waters

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You better watch out,
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is no bad dream.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.

Interpol - Stella was a diver and she was always down

When she walks down the street
she knows there’s people watching
the building fronts are just fronts
to hide the people watching her.
She once fell through the street
down the manhole in a that bad way.
The underground drip...
it's just like her scuba days.

Days.
Daze.
Days.
Daze.

She was all right cause the sea was so airtight she broke away.
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight she broke away.
She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away.
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, air-tight.
She broke away broke away.
She broke away broke away.
She broke away broke away.
She broke away.

Stella…

Bottom of the ocean she dwells.
Bottom of the ocean she dwells.
From crevices carressed by fingers
and fat blue serpent swells.

Stella.
Stella.
Oh Stella.

Stella I love you Stella I love you stella I love you.
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight she broke away.
She was all right cause the sea was so airtight she broke away.
She was all right but she can't come out tonight she broke away.
She was all right yeah the sea was so tight, air-tight.
She broke away broke away.
She broke away broke away.
She broke away broke away.
She broke away.

Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver.
Well she was my catatonic sex toy love-joy diver.
She went down down down there into the sea.
She went down down down there down there for me.

Right on.
Oh yeah.
Right on.
It’s so good.
Oh yeah.
Right on.
It’s so good.
Oh yeah.

There's something that's invisible,
there's some things you can't hide.
Try to detect you when I'm sleeping,
in a wave you say goodbye.

Half Man Half Biscuit - Vatican Broadside

The singer out of Slipknot went to rome to see The Pope
The singer out of Slipknot went to rome to see The Pope
The singer out of Slipknot went to rome to see The Pope
And The Pope said to his aide . .

Who the ****ing hell are Slipknot?
Who the ****ing hell are Slipknot?
Who the ****ing hell are Slipknot?
In relation to me getting out of bed?

Johnny Cash - We'll meet again

[Yes, I know he didn't wrote the song.]

We'll meet again.
Don't know where,
don't know when.
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.

Keep smilin' through.
Just like you always do.
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

So will you please say hello
to the folks that I know?
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know,
that as you saw me go
I was singing this song

We'll meet again.
Don't know where,
don't know when
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.

Farewell Mr. Cash.

1. Forever And One (Neverland)

What can I do?
Will I be getting through?
Now that I must try to leave it all behind
Did you see what you have done to me?
So hard to justify
Slowly it's passing by

Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide your lies
Your lies

Here I am
Seeing you once again
My mind's so far away
My heart's so close to stay
Too proud to fight
I'm walking back into night
Will I ever find someone to believe?

Forever and one
I will miss you
However, I kiss you
Yet again
Way down in Neverland
So hard I was trying
Tomorrow I'll still be crying
How could you hide your lies
Your lies

 

[LedZep]

Liz, although Sheep was composed by Waters (like almost all other Floyd songs), it is performed by Pink Floyd and thus a Pink Floyd song. (from a ****ing great album by the way)

Pink Floyd - Bike

I've got a bike, you can ride if you like
it's got a basket, a bell that rings
and things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
but I borrowed it.

[dumb chorus ]
You're the kind of girl
that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything
if you want thing.
[/dumb chorus]

I've got a cloak, it's a bit of a joke
there's a tear up the front, it's red and black
I've had it for months
if you think it could look good
then I guess it should.

*dumb chorus*

I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse

*dumb chorus*

I've got a clan of gingerbread men
here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men
take a couple if you wish, they're on the dish

*dumb chorus*

I know a room of musical tunes
some wine, some gin, most of them are clockwork
let's go into the other room and make them work

I like this song for its genius lyrics.

 

[Atropos Megarea]

These Walls by Trapt

Something missing
Left behind
Search in circles
Every time I try
I've been here before
I've seen you before
I can't escape walking through these halls
Hard to find a place where there are no walls
And no lines begging me to cross
Only straight ahead better move along
Like Clockwork
I commit the crime
I pretend to be
everything they like
I've been here before
I've seen you before
And I trade everything for this
And I trade everything for this
Why do I read the writing on the wall
Why do I read the writing on the wall
I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent to much time
I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent too much time

Simply Dead - Dismal Euphony

A passion of tears...
Close my soul... as I reach for your caress
Let me die in your flesh
While the heavenly bodies burn out before your eyes

Let me die and die again

Taste my blood with emotional lust
Let your touch embrace my mind
Show me a hidden path to the source of wisdom
You are the rose on my grave

My river in which the dawn never shows
Is hope hiding
Blood of my past... is still dripping
Simply dead

Show me a hidden path to the source of wisdom
You are the rose on my grave...
You are the rose on my grave...

sex is boring - ballboy

take me back to your room/ tie me up and strip me naked/ and lie me on your floor/ and then you’ll see that sex is boring with me/ it’s not what i came here for/ it’s not what i came here for/ you know about hip hop and/ you know about trip hop and/
you know about punk rock and/ you know about house music / and house music, house music is the greatest thing of all/
and you’ve read more books than i/ i could ever read and you/ you’ve seen more films than i/ i could ever see so/ why is it, why is it, that you don’t know any more than me/ and i hate hip hop and i/ i hate trip hop and i/ i hate punk rock and i/ i hate house music / because house music, house music never meant anything at all to me./ so take me back to your room/ tie me up and strip me naked and lie me on your floor/ and then you’ll see that sex is boring with me/ it’s not what i came here for/ it’s not what i came here for/ and it’s not like you are going to save me/ although you think you are/ and i’ve got miles to go before i sleep/ and you’re not going to save me/ although you think you are/

Blumfeld - Graue Wolken

Wo kommen all die grauen Wolken her?
Ich schau nach draußen auf den Tag,
Es regnet und ich kann nicht mehr
Wo ist der blaue Himmel hin?
Ich weiß nicht, warum ich lebe,
Nur, daß ich am Leben bin
Dann steh ich auf und gehe unter Menschen
Und frage mich, was kann ich tun?
Ich will sie hassen
Und kanns nicht lassen,
In allem, was sie ausmacht, auch ein Stück von mir zu sehen.

Wo kommen all die grauen Wolken her?
Die ganze Welt dreht sich im Kreis
Ich seh mich um und will nicht mehr
Wo ist die rote Sonne hin?
Arbeit, Fernsehen, Schlafengehen,
So macht das Leben keinen sinn
Dann steh ich auf und gehe unter Menschen
Und frage mich, was soll ich tun
Ich kanns nicht fassen
Sie könnens nicht lassen
Nur ihre eignen Leben, immer nur sich selbst zu sehen.

Wo kommen all die grauen Wolken her?
Ich schau nach draußen auf den Tag
Es regnet, und ich kann nicht mehr
Ich weiß nicht woher, weiß nicht wohin
Ich weiß nicht, warum ich lebe,
Nur, daß ich am Leben bin.

Bouncing Souls - Todd's Song

I grab into my sixpack and raise a can
To another fallen friend
The news came on the phone today
Did you know you weren't alone?
I'll see you when we all come home

With a heart so big that you can't hide
You took the path of a slow suicide
And all those feelings that you had
They killed you from the inside
I'll see you when we all come home

With a heart so big that you can't hide
And all those things that you can't keep inside
I can't say that I don't understand
I know you tried
I'll see you when we all come home

Cursive - Harold Weathervein

The street.
Enter cello, heavy breathing, footsteps, birds

Harold walks down any street of this town
both crier & witness the sun drops the clouds shift
his legs twitch

Enter chimes

the clocks chime on cafes, pharmacies, and dime
stores, in bar rooms he sits all alone erupting
inhisheaditsliketheweatherback&forthitsliketheweather
when it rains it pours, down

Weatherman, do you feel?
Is it stormy inside of your veins?
