Lyrics of the Day

[Link Floyd]

WHO NEEDS YOU - The Orwells

You better toss your bullets
You better hide your guns
You better help the children
Let 'em have some fun
You better count your blessings
Kiss your Mom and Pop
You better burn that flag
'Cause it ain't against the law
You better pledge your allegiance
You're not the only one
Listen up forefathers
I'm not your son
You better save the country
You better pass the flask
You better join the army
I said, "No thank you, dear old Uncle Sam"
You better toss tour bullets
You better hide your guns
You better help the children
Let 'em have some fun, some fun, some fun

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul to waste

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(Woo woo, woo woo)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(Woo woo, woo woo)

I shouted out,
Who killed the Kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
(Who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(Woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(Who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(Who who, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(Woo woo, who who)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(Who who, who who)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(Woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politeness
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah
(Woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, mm yeah
(Who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, mm mean it, get down
(Woo woo, woo woo)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(Woo woo)

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name my name is rick I say

Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who rick
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah
Woo woo
Woo woo

I Can Learn - The White Stripes

I wish we were stuck up a tree
Then we'd know that it's nicer below

I don't know any lullabies
I don't know how to make you mine
But I can learn
In lonely days long ago
I saw lovers put on a show
Well, now it's my turn

Drive you home
Then wait by the phone
For that call
And a walk in the fall

No harm will come of this
One little midnight kiss
It will not burn
So many lonely days
I feel like a throwaway
Well now it's my turn

Falling down
Is no longer around
Feeling sun
I'm no longer one
Well isn't this fun?

Lemon - U2

Lemon
See through in the sunlight
She wore lemon
But never in the daylight
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you whisper and moan
And when you're dry
She draws her water from the stone

And I feel
Like I'm slowly, slowly, slowly slipping under
And I feel
Like I'm holding onto nothing

She wore lemon
To colour in the cold grey night
She had heaven
And she held on so tight

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close
A man captures colour
A man likes to stare
He turns his money into light to look for her

And I feel
Like I'm drifting, drifting, drifting from the shore
And I feel
Like I'm swimming out to her

Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins
Midnight is where the day begins

Lemon
See through in the sunlight

A man builds a city
With banks and cathedrals
A man melts the sand so he can
See the world outside You're gonna meet her there
A man makes a car She's your destination
And builds roads to run them on You gotta get to her
A man dreams of leaving She's imagination
But he always stays behind

And these are the days
When our work has come assunder
And these are the days
When we look for something other

Midnight is where the day begins
[Repeat 4 times]

[Instrumental]

Midnight is where the day begins
[Repeat 4 times]

A man makes a picture
A moving picture
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close You're gonna meet her there
A man captures colour She's your destination
A man likes to stare There's no sleeping there
He turns his money into light She's imagination
To look for her Lemon
She is the dreamer
She's imagination She had heaven
Through the light projected
He can see himself up close She wore lemon

Ladykillers - Lush

Here we go, I'm hanging out in Camden
Drink with my girlfriends on a Saturday night

This guy says, "come and meet my girlfriend"
She's sitting in the corner looking rather uptight

So I say "hello" and I try to be nice
But I see he's feeling itchy
Trying to play us off each other,
"Girls, girls, please don't fight" (you get the picture)

Hey you, the muscles and the long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't appreciate this
You just convincing me you're better than them

So he talks for hours about his sensitive soul
And his favorite subject is sex
I don't think he even wanted it
But, Christ this guy's too much (I want to tell him)

I'm as human as the next girl,
I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practiced lines, your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score,
I've heard it all before

Blondie was with me for a summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight

Oh God, the boy had such an ego
He liked to talk about himself all day and all night
You think you're such a ladykiller
But you were nothing special 'til you turned out the light

When he's nice to me he's just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years bad luck (I want to tell him)

When you say you love me you're just flattering your vanity
But I don't need your practiced lines your, your school of charm mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with something more
When it comes to men like you,
I know the score,
I've heard it all before

Ooh, you're such a ladykiller, always on a winner, thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller, super sexy mister, call it what you will, oh
You think you're such a lady killer, I just bet you're still there, posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller, but we know where he's coming from and we know the score.

We Are The In Crowd - Reflections

I think I've seen you before
Another time, another face
Whoever opened the door
Never had the time to waste

To paint pictures over windows
That don’t satisfy our taste
It’s so convenient to lose the truth
When it's laughing in your face

Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own
I don't believe it's complicated
So I think I'll stay at home
I followed the leader
Now I just follow myself
Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own

I know I've been here before
But I can’t find, the time or place
If we stay in the past
There'll be no future left to waste

Pinning paper wings on problems
Hoping that they'll fly away
Turn our backs, ignore the truth
If they can't support the weight

Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own
I don't believe it's complicated
So I think I'll stay at home
I followed the leader
Now I just follow myself
Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own

Reflections on a two way mirror
Of everyone and everything
That's coming, and coming out
Of our lives
I can see myself in the static
I can see myself in you
Reflections on a two way mirror
Times running out, times running out

Destiny is overrated
So I think I'll write my own
I don't believe it's complicated
So I think I'll stay at home
I followed the leader
Now I just follow myself
Destiny is overrated
So I think I’ll write my own
So I think I’ll write my own

Override - Slipknot


The ghosts have given up
Familiar haunts have had enough
Too much thought will give you doubt
And now they found you
-
It's safer in a cage
They can't tell you what to say
All your dreams come with a price
So they own you
-
But what did you expect?
Was it too much to protect?
Did you understand they had selfish intentions?
When they were pulling you in opposite directions

You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
We are the override
We are the override

The dead don't know, the dead are lonely
A fascination fades
When this mercy execution says it's over
-
You follow as preferred
Now their plans are undeterred
Who can break their need to supersede?
It's over
-
Even hate starts out as love
Sometimes when it's all you want
Maybe satisfaction will take you for granted
When all that's left is the emotion you abandoned

You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
We are the override
We are the override


You clawed out from nothing and I sent you back
Fought to the metal, and law's what you lacked
Covered in sores, you cannot be the one
You are the answer to why we have risen

You are not the way
You are judged to be afraid
You are simple and unchanged
We believe you should
Give up
Give up
Give up
Satisfaction will take you for granted (Give up)
When all that's left is a life you abandoned (Give..)

You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
You don't know the hell that's coming
Everybody get on the ground
We are the override
Ohh we are the override

Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up
Give up

Sticks'n'Stones - Jamie T

When there's no-one left to fight
Boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town trying to find trouble (x2)

I took a train away again from shame and blame
A city pained to see
A friend I hadn't seen since I was drinking underage
I was a ten a day how d'you say? -- a little ****
White Lightning heightening all my courage quick wit

We wore checkered seasoned Wallabies
Buttoned shirts and whisky
Mutton dressed as lamb, a fan of bands
Like The Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam
I don't know who I am, he said
I don't know if I can, I said
Yeah man you can can!

When there's no-one left to fight
Boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town trying to find trouble (x2)

Drunk and being sick, I feel like ****, I gotta quit
I hope I haven't missed the last train
Gonna be stuck in Hampton Wick
With the boys across the platform shouting "lightweight prick!"
I'm the featherweight champion, cheap to get pissed

Wish Candy were here with me, she'd definitely deal with it
Tell them all to shut their mouths and go suck their mama's dicks
But seeing as she aint, I put three fingers down
And the other two up, and I'll sing this proud

Running with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks and stones, sticks and stones
I take 'em home on my own (x2)

As I travel down the track all my memories flood back
We were running at ease from enemies
Back your mama's flat
Is the only place but home I feel relaxed enough to crap
I know it sounds crude but there's something in that

How is Danny doing? Hear he's out flying and that
Stockbroker in the city with a lady and a baby
And Fee, is free from the demon's she had?
Was it two months clean, routine to relapse?

Running with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks and stones, sticks and stones
I take 'em home on my own (x2)

She smoked all of your weed that's why the loved ones had to leave
Why when you take the lead they stab you in the back so you can't breathe
And as you're bleeding on the floor and no-one hears your call at all
She screamed out to the party, "you're sheeps and cattle!"

I was hanging out with Louie at the shooting gallery
When the news got through to me about you and Jeremy
A pat on my back and a swig of my brew
You're still my friend, it's impossible to hate you

Cradle to the grave, I know we always misbehave
People latch down and then they rain on our parade
Girls we love leave when we want them to stay
Like today, remember what Joey said?

When there's no-one left to fight
Boys like us don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle
Let's go out and find some trouble!

Running with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks and stones, sticks and stones
I take 'em home on my own (x3)

God Walking Into The Room
Darren Hayes

*********************

You and I
We got splintered
Cut in two like earth and the sky
I say a prayer to the distance that my faith in love will survive
My friends tell me I should look around for somebody new
But they don't know you
They don't understand the gravity I've fallen into
Because I still feel you

Because you bring me love
You lift me up
Every time we kiss it's like God walking into the room
Forgive me love
I can't give you up
Every time we kiss it's like God walking into the room

Can I make a confession?
I'm lighting candles for you and I
I pray for a love resurrection and all the things we lost in the fire
My friends tell me I should look around for somebody new
But they don't know you
They don't look into you eyes or tremble like I do
Every time I see you

Because you bring me love
You lift me up
Every time we kiss it's like God walking into the room
Forgive me love
I can't give you up
Hand upon the bible your love is survival I tell you
I've never felt this before
My sadness falls to the floor
You look right in to me like God walking into the room
Like it's meant to be

You and I were splintered
Cut in two like earth and the sea
I say a prayer that in the distance my faith in love will bring you back to me

You bring me love
You lift me up
Every time we kiss it's like God walking into the room
Forgive me love
I can't give you up
Hand upon the bible your love is survival I tell you
I've never felt this before
My sadness falls to the floor
You look right in to me like God walking into the room
Like it's meant to be

EarlyRise - Safer In Here

Hurry and come inside,
leave everything behind
'cause they'll burn you alive
and take everything you have.
Forget everything you know,
it's no use anymore,
you'll be safer in here,
safer in here.

How do you get to where you're going
hiding away and never knowing?
How do you get to where you're going
hiding away and never knowing?

Stay where you're paralyzed
and color inside the lines,
don't you dare drift away
to some other territory,
and follow the ones ahead,
the morally impaired
'cause it's safer this way,
safer this way.

How do you get to where you're going
hiding away and never knowing?
How do you get to where you're going
hiding away and never knowing?

Why do you waste your precious hours
standing in line with all the cowards?
Why do you waste your precious hours
standing in line with all the cowards?

How do you get to where you're going
hiding away and never knowing?
How do you get to where you're going
hiding away and never knowing?

"Uma Thurman"

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us part

She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me till I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head

The stench, the stench of summer sex
And CK eternity, oh, hell, yes
Divide me down to the smallest I can be
Put your, put your v-v-v-venom in me

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us part

She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me till I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head

The blood, the blood, the blood of the lamb
It’s worth two lions, but here I am
And I slept in last night’s clothes and tomorrow’s dreams
But they’re not quite what they seem

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us part

You’ll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turn the tide
You’ll find your way
And may death find you alive
Take me down the line
In Gem City we turn the tide

She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
Bury me till I confess
She wants to dance like Uma Thurman
And I can’t get you out of my head

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us part

I can move mountains
I can work a miracle, work a miracle
Oh, oh, keep you like an oath
May nothing but death do us part

We Share the Same Skies - The Cribs

A strange union the other day
It's a dead Russian, the papers say
But it would be nice if they realised
That she thought 'he is mine'

This town has got you down and I know
I was helping you out
While your hope died under northern skies
and it shows
I was helping you to realise
The reason why, it was no surprise
No way

The act will pass by no-one
And I'm sad to say it's no different today
Be comforted by we share the same skies
And for once pay no mind

I have decided it's best that you know
I'm still thinking about
Old ties as north-west skies grow cold
No point in denying
Anxiety was my favourite feeling after jealousy
Yeah, I'll concede

That I could not be as nervous as I was
I could not, no way

 

[Snow Queen]

Who's ready for some ENGRISH???


Signs of love overshadowed by dreams
Baby, don’t worry coz you ain’t alone
Only time running days without nights
Tears pass through

He said, “I’m the one who’s got to leave”
I said, “Nobody’s really got to leave coz”
“I don’t hear enough explanation”
“All I need is admiration”
Big frustration bro he goes,
“Life is short we gave a shot,
but didn’t work honey coz we had,
a whole lot going on and on,
and on…”

Signs of love overshadowed by dreams
Baby, don’t worry coz you ain’t alone
Only time running days without nights
Tears pass through

Every time look at the picture in the frame
Gaze in fascination so hard
You still think that is nothing but love
Rain still falls

Baby I remembered you have dreams
That would not to intent by zero
Cloudy sky overshadowed by rain
Baby don't cry

All of song repeats my soundless speed
you have created it again
countless tears falling down you will see
signs of love

Let It Go

The snow glows white
On the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be scene
A kingdom of isolation
And it looks like I'm the Queen

The wind is howling
Like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in
Heaven knows I tried...

Don't let them in
Don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal
Don't feel
Don't let them know...
Well, now they know!

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!
I don't care what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway

It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!

It's time to see
What I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong
No rules for me
I'm free!

Let it go! Let it go!
I am one with the wind and sky!
Let it go! Let it go!
You'll never see me cry!
Here I stand and here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on...

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back
The past is in the past!

Let it go! Let it go!
And I'll rise like the break of dawn!
Let it go! Let it go!
That perfect girl is gone!

Here I stand in the light of day...
Let the storm rage on!!!
The cold never bothered me anyway



Let it go ​
