All Uncovered By The Watchmen

Lying in bedrooms is easy
It's not like it's five years ago
Lately you're over my body
'Cause that's just the place that I want you to be
Look at the pictures you've gotten
They're like signals from oncoming cars
We're covered and caked from the last time
I know it sounds weird, we collect it in jars
'Cause that's just the place that I wannabe
Oh can't you see it's the life I don't need
Please don't make this thing up for me
(The way that I wannabe)
Oh can't you see it's the life I don't need
Please don't make this thing up for me
Driving in style with a smile on
I wish the light could turn red on me now
The day's been so damn hard already
So buckle me in on the highway of sin
'Cause that's just the way that I wannabe
Oh can't you see it's the life I don't need
Please don't make this thing up for me
(The way that I wannabe)
Oh can't you see it's the life I don't need
Please don't make this thing up for me
Cause that's just the way
Cause that's just the way
All uncovered
That's just the way
Driving in style with a smile on
I wish the light could turn red on me now
The day's been so damn hard already
So buckle me in on the highway of sin
'Cause that's just the way that I wannabe (wannabe)
Cause that's just the way
That's just the way
All uncovered
That's just the way

Empty Head by Big Sugar

(A Great low down dirty blues song)

I check the mail and I watch my phone
I used to wonder was my baby at home?
And I used to wonder what I might have done
And I sought comfort in anyone

I'm laying in an empty bed tonight
Wish I had an empty head tonight

There's no such thing as the only one
There's no such thing as the only one

So please tell me baby what's getting wrong with you?
You don't treat me half way nothing like you used to do

Are you laying in an empty bed tonight?
Wish I had an empty head tonight

Well, there's no such thing as the only one
There's no such thing as the only one
There's no such thing as the only one

I check the mail and I watch my phone
I used to wonder was my baby at home?

I'm laying in an empty bed tonight
I wish I had - wish I had an empty head tonight

There's no such thing as the only one
There's no such thing as the only one
There's no such thing as the only one
Well, there's no such thing as the only one

 

[Ghostwheel1969]

Rush, Distant Early Warning

If you're that interested, look it up.

I know that song inspired so many people. I know it did me, but let's keep it up out there, and keep inspiring people.

Some have said it's about breast cancer, some about women's issues, some about solidarity. I say use it for whatever you need to motivate you.

I used it, unsuccessfully, to woo a woman. It still resonates, which reflects a great message.

Cheers,
Ghostwheel

The Good Left Undone by Rise Against

Probably the best song on the radio right now


In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
I found a flower at my feet,
bending there in my direction.
I wrapped a hand around its stem
and pulled until the roots gave in,
finding there what I've been missing.
And I know....

So I tell myself, I tell myself, it's wrong.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
I'll follow your voice;
all you have to do is
shout it out!

Inside my hands these petals browned;
dried up falling to the ground,
but it was already too late now.
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
returned this flower to the dirt;
so it could live, I walked away now.
But I know...

Not a day goes by when I don't feel this burn.
There's a point we pass from which we can't return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
I'll follow your voice;
all you have to do is
shout it out!

All because of you.
All because of you.

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long.
When I do I dream
of drowning in the ocean;
longing for the shore
where I can lay my head down.
Inside these arms of yours.

All because of you
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
no, not the kind with halos;
the kind that bring you home
when home becomes a strange place.
I'll follow your voice;
all you have to do is
shout it out!

[SeaToSky]

Sweet Child O' Mine

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

 

[bonanzabob]

Joe Jackson - "Is she really going out with him?"

Lots of high-school angst for me in this.....


Pretty women out walking with gorillas down my street
From my window Im staring while my coffee grows cold
Look over there! (where? )
Theres a lady that I used to know
Shes married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told

Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
cause if my eyes dont deceive me,
Theres something going wrong around here

Not sure if you wanted folks to post whole songs!

I figure we should break it down to a line or two.

Anyway, how 'bout

Immortal Technique Dancing with the Devil

now the devil follows me everywhere that I go
infact I'm sure he's standing among one of you at my shows
and every street cypher listening to little thugs flow
he could be standing right next to you, and you wouldn't know
the devil grows inside the hearts of the selfish and wicked
white, brown, yellow and black colored is not restricted
you have a self destructive destiny when your inflicted
and you'll be one of gods children and fell from the top
there's no diversity because we're burning in the melting pot
so when the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never
because the dance with the devil might last you forever

Rusty Cage by Soundgarden

A song that changed my life

You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil
But Im gonna break
Im gonna break my
Im gonna break my rusty cage and run
Too cold to start a fire
Im burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
Ill take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs
Im gonna break
Im gonna break my
Im gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hits like a phillips head
Into my brain
Its gonna be too dark
To sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars
And rusty chains, Im gonna break my
Rusty cage and run
When the forest burns
Along the road
Like gods eyes
In my headlights
When the dogs are looking
For their bones
And its raining icepicks
On your steel shore
Im gonna break
Im gonna break my
Im gonna break my rusty cage and run

PUSHIT

I will choke until I swallow...
Choke this infant here before me.
What is this but my reflection?
Who am I to judge and strike you down?

But you're
Pushing and shoving me.
You still love me and you pushit on me.

Rest your trigger on my finger,
bang my head upon the fault line.
Take care not to make me enter.
'cause if I do we both may disappear.

But you're pushing me,
Shoving me. Pushit on me.

Slipping back into the gap again.
I'm alive when you're touching me,
Alive when you're shoving me down.

But i'd trade it all
For just a little bit of
Piece of mind.

Put me somewhere I don't wanna be.
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see.
Never wanna see that place again.

Saw that gap again today
As you were begging me to stay.
Managed to push myself away,
And you, as well.

If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay,
You minimize my movement anyway,
I must persuade you another way.

There's no love in fear.

Staring down the hole again.
Hands upon my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.

Just remember I will always love you,
Even as I tear your fucking throat away.
But it will end no other way.

Keep on fucking
Well it's God's first commandment
Keep on fucking

Leonard Cohen - Closing Time Lyrics
Ah we're drinking and we're dancing
and the band is really happening
and the Johnny Walker wisdom running high
And my very sweet companion
she's the Angel of Compassion
she's rubbing half the world against her thigh
And every drinker every dancer
lifts a happy face to thank her
the fiddler fiddles something so sublime
all the women tear their blouses off
and the men they dance on the polka-dots
and it's partner found, it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
it's CLOSING TIME
Yeah the women tear their blouses off
and the men they dance on the polka-dots
and it's partner found, it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops:
it's CLOSING TIME
Ah we're lonely, we're romantic
and the cider's laced with acid
and the Holy Spirit's crying, "Where's the beef?"
And the moon is swimming naked
and the summer night is fragrant
with a mighty expectation of relief
So we struggle and we stagger
down the snakes and up the ladder
to the tower where the blessed hours chime
and I swear it happened just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
but CLOSING TIME
I swear it happened just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
the Gates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
CLOSING TIME
I loved you for your beauty
but that doesn't make a fool of me:
you were in it for your beauty too
and I loved you for your body
there's a voice that sounds like God to me
declaring, declaring, declaring that your body's really you
And I loved you when our love was blessed
and I love you now there's nothing left
but sorrow and a sense of overtime
and I missed you since the place got wrecked
And I just don't care what happens next
looks like freedom but it feels like death
it's something in between, I guess
it's CLOSING TIME
Yeah I missed you since the place got wrecked
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex
looks like freedom but it feels like death
it's something in between, I guess
it's CLOSING TIME
Yeah we're drinking and we're dancing
but there's nothing really happening
and the place is dead as Heaven on a Saturday night
And my very close companion
gets me fumbling gets me laughing
she's a hundred but she's wearing
something tight
and I lift my glass to the Awful Truth
which you can't reveal to the Ears of Youth
except to say it isn't worth a dime
And the whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
we're busted in the blinding lights,
busted in the blinding lights
of CLOSING TIME

The whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it's once for the devil and once for Christ
but the Boss don't like these dizzy heights
we're busted in the blinding lights,
busted in the blinding lights
of CLOSING TIME
Oh the women tear their blouses off
and the men they dance on the polka-dots
It's CLOSING TIME
And it's partner found, it's partner lost
and it's hell to pay when the fiddler stops
It's CLOSING TIME
I swear it happened just like this:
a sigh, a cry, a hungry kiss
It's CLOSING TIME
The Gates of Love they budged an inch
I can't say much has happened since
But CLOSING TIME
I loved you when our love was blessed
I love you now there's nothing left
But CLOSING TIME
I miss you since the place got wrecked
By the winds of change and the weeds of sex

"How High"

How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
[repeat]

It's funny
I spent my whole life wanting to be talked about
I did it
Just about everything
To see my name in lights

Was it all worth it
And how did I earn it
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserve it

[Chorus]
How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Does this get any better
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone
Will any of this matter

It's funny
How everybody mentions my name
But they're never really nice
I took it
Just about everything
Except my own advice

Was it all worth it
And how did I earn it
Nobody's perfect
I guess I deserve it

[Chorus]

(nothing lasts forever)
(doesn't make a difference)

How high
Doesn't make a difference
Nothing lasts forever
Should I
Will it matter when I'm gone
Will any of this matter

How high are the stakes
How much fortune can you make
Should I carry on
Will it matter when I'm gone

[Miss*Bijou]

Haha

OK.. so... this one's a little intense.. so just so no one thinks I'm missing a few screws .. I'll explain.


When I first started working in an office, I was seriously going cuckoo, especially the first few months as I'd never worked 40hrs/wk (school & restaurants.. never had to work that many hours before yet made at least twice as much as a server) and the pathetic $8/hr I was making to get my foot in the door was seriously depressing!

One of my best friends who had also been in my class and got a job at the same time I did (and having an equally tough time dealing with this cubicle-land/prison that was our office!) was pretty good at letting me vent but one day I was especially hating more than usual, he handed me a cd and told me to listen to this song. I had to smile, it was perfect! And it became my bad day/instant stress relief song.

I doubt anyone else who worked in that office ever would have imagined that's what sweet little innocent-looking me was listening to! Well, not the first couple of years anyway.. hehee





LIMP BIZKIT LYRICS

"Break Stuff"

Its just one of those days
When you don't wanna wake up
Everything is fucked
Everybody sux
You don't really know why
But you want justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker
It's just one of those days!!

[chorus]
Its all about the he says she says bullshit
I think you better quit
Lettin' shit slip
Or you'll be leavin with a fat lip
Its all about the he says she says bullshit
I think you better quit talkin that shit
(Punk, so come and get it)
Its just one of those days
Feelin' like a freight train
First one to complain
Leaves with a blood stain
Damn right I'm a maniac
You better watch your back
Cuz I'm fuckin' up your program
And if your stuck up
You just lucked up
Next in line to get fucked up
Your best bet is to stay away motherfucker
Its just one of those days!!

[chorus]

I feel like shit
My suggestion is to keep your distance cuz right now im dangerous
We've all felt like shit
And been treated like shit
All those motherfuckers that want to step up
I hope you know I pack a chain saw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break somethin' tonight...
I hope you know I pack a chain saw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break somethin' tonight...
I hope you know I pack a chain saw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break your fuckin' face tonight!!
Give me somethin' to break
Give me somethin' to break
Just give me somethin' to break
How bout your fuckin' face
I hope you know I pack a chain saw, what!!...
A chain saw, what!!...
A motherfucking chain saw, what!!...
So come and get it

[chorus]




Listen to it once or twice, and I'm allll good! Trust me, it works wonders.

[Man Mountain]

From Semisonic's Closing Time

I quoted this line in a PM to someone as a supportive message and it got me thinking about the song. Haven't heard it in a while and it's hard to believe the song is about ten years old now. But it's a song that I liked quite a bit back around that time. Anyway, the line from it that I particularly liked:

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

Story of my life...

Grateful Dead
Wharf Rat

Old man down, way down down, down by the docks of the city.
Blind and dirty, asked me for a dime, a dime for a cup of coffee.
I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story.
My name is August West, and I love my Pearly Baker best more than my wine.
More than my wine - more than my maker, though he's no friend of mine.

Everyone said, I'd come to no good, I knew I would Pearly, believe them.
Half of my life, I spent doin' time for some other fucker's crime,
The other half found me stumbling around and drunk on Burgundy wine.
But I'll get back on my feet someday,
The good Lord willin', if He says I may.
I know that the life I'm livin's no good,
I'll get a new start, live the life I should.
I'll get up and fly away, I'll get up and fly away, fly away.

Pearly's been true, true to me, true to my dyin' day he said,
I said to him, I said to him, "I'm sure she's been."
I said to him, "I'm sure she's been true to you."

I got up and wandered, wandered downtown, nowhere to go but just to hang around.
I've got a girl, named Bonnie Lee, I know that girl's been true to me.
I know she's been, I'm sure she's been true to me.

12 Stones - Lie to Me

I know, I know. I'm raising an old thread from the dead but I like this song:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z7_FzFRuen0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z7_FzFRuen0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Lyrics:

our candle burns away the ashes full of lies
i gave my soul to you you cut me from behind
nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
you're scared of the truth, i'm tired of the lies
cuz who i am, is where you wanna be

don't act like an angel
you've fallen again
you're no super hero
i found in the end
so lie to me once again and tell me everything will be alright
lie to me once again and ask yourself before we say goodbye
well goodbye
was it worth it in the end...

you said you were there for me you wouldn't let me fall
all the times i shared with you were you even there at all?
nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
you're scared of the truth, i'm tired of the lies
cuz who i am, is where you wanna be

don't act like an angel
you've fallen again
you're no super hero
i found in the end
so lie to me once again and tell me everything will be alright
lie to me once again and ask yourself before we say goodbye
well goodbye
was it worth it in the end...

why'd you have to up and run away
a million miles away
i wanna close my eyes and make believe
that i never found you
just when i put my guard away
it's the same old story
you left me broken and betrayed
it's the same old story

don't act like an angel
you've fallen again
you're no super hero
i found in the end
so lie to me once again and tell me everything will be alright
lie to me once again and ask yourself before we say goodbye
well goodbye
was it worth it in the end...

lie to me once again
it's the same old story
lie to me once again
it's the same old story

was it worth it in the end...
