Favorite Song Lyric?

[{EmMa*DiLeMmA}]

What is your favorite lyric from any song?

I have so many its hard to choose just a few but here are some of my favorites:

Placebo - Every you, every me
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
Cause theres nothing else to do
Every me and every you.

Radiohead - Talk show host
You want me?
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing

Brand New - Sic Transit Gloria/Glory Fades
Up the stairs: the station where
the act becomes the art of growing up.

Scissor Sisters - Cant come Quickly enough
We knew all the answers
And we shouted them like anthems
Anxious and suspicious
That god knew how much we cheated

Queens of the Stone Age - Go with the Flow
Something sweet to throw away.
I want something good to die for
To make it beautiful to live.
I want a new mistake, lose is more than hesitate.


Theres loads more I could put down here but I'll leave you with those for now.

[Penguin Pimp]

I wanna doctor to take a picture so i can look at you from inside as well - Turning japanese by the vapours. I like all the lyrics actly

no sex no drugs no wine no women no fun no sin no you no wonder its dark

[Mittwoch]

Been done before for sure but whatever. You'd probably get told off for bumping it back up.

The Killers - Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll
No sex, no drugs, no life, no love
When it comes to today

I love those lines :) There are others I like but I can't remember them :/

[Thomp]

The Killers- Change Your Mind

Out again,
A sire screams at half past ten

Just the way Brandon incorporates minor things like that make some of the lyrics classy

Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

[gruff]

ooooo

The Divine Comedy - Generation Sex:
Lovers watch their backs, as hacks, in macs, take snaps, with telephoto lenses, chase mercedes benzes

Marilyn Manson - The Fight Song:
You never meant to be a big rockstar celebrated victim of your fame.

Marilyn Manson - Disposable Teens
And I'm a black rainbow,
and I'm an ape of? god,
I got a face thats made for violence and porn,
And I'm a teen distortion, survived abortion
A rebel from the waist down

Laibach - Tanz mit Laibach
we dance and we jump
we hop and we sing
we fall and rise
we give or take
American friend and
German comrade
we dance well together
we dance to Baghdad

[Shave]

the cure - cut here

Oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk a while
Oh I wish I could and I will!
But now I just don’t have the time
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye
I still see that look in your eye

Placebo - pure morning

A friend in need is a friend indeed
A friend who bleeds is better
My friend confessed she passed the test
And we will never sever

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If i could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Dropkick Murphys - The Green Fields Of France

And I can't help but wonder oh Willy Mcbride
Do all those who lie here know why they died
Did you really believe them when they told you the cause
Did you really believe that this war would end wars
Well the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame
The killing and dying it was all done in vain
Oh Willy Mcbride it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again

The Clash - Train In Vain

All the times
When we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say

Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way

Placebo - Every You Every Me

Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you

The Cure - Friday, I'm In Love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday's too
Oh Thursday, I don't care bout you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm




probably add some more later

[Penguin Pimp]

November rain Guns n roses
Dont you think that you need somebody
dont you think that you need someone
everybody needs somebody
you're not the only one

[Flack]

Watch out, mega long post here, because all the lyrics to this song are my favourite...

A Change Of Seasons - Dream Theater
I. The Crimson Sunrise
(Instrumental)

II. Innocence
I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for more
But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
and my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
with the last of my might
In my den of inequity
viciousness and subtlety
struggle to ease the pain
struggle to find the sane
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near....

III. Carpe Diem
'Carpe diem, seize the day'
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
'Seize the Day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye'

"It's the most awful thing you'll
ever hear."
"If you're lying to me..."
"Oh, you dearly love her."
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"Seize the day!"
"Something happened.
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"She was killed."

IV. The Darkest of Winters
(Instrumental)

V. Another World
So far or so it seems
All is lost with nothing fulfilled
Off the pages and a T.V. screen
Another world where nothing's true
Tripping through the life fantastic
Lose a step and never get up
Left alone with a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Then string him up for all the world to see
I'm sick of all you hypocrites
holding me obey
And I don't need your sympathy
to get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on Boy, No time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Now it's time for them to deal with me

VI. The Inevitable Summer
(Instrumental)

VII. The Crimson Sunset
I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
run through my head
They taught me how
for better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He is my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
'Seize the day and don't you cry,
Now it's time to say good-bye
Even though I'll be gone,
I will live on, live on.'

it's not a case of me remembering all these lyrics, it's just a case of me loving every single line..

Folsom prison blues - jonny cash
I hear the train a comin´
it´s rolling round the bend
and I ain´t seen the sunshine since I don´t know when,
I´m stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin´ on
but that train keeps a rollin´ on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don´t ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..

I bet there´s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they´re probably drinkin´ coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can´t be free
but those people keep a movin´
and that´s what tortures me...

Well if they´d free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I´d move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I´d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

Cats and the cradle - Cat stevens
A child arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talking before I knew It
And as he grew
He said, "I'm gonna be like you, Dad you know I'm gonna be like you"

(chorus)
And the cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin home son I dont know when, We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then.

My son turned ten just the other day
He said "thanks for the ball dad, come on lets play
can you teach me to throw?"
I said "Not today, I've got alot to do"
He said "That's okay"
He walked away and he smiled and he said
"you know I'm gonna be like him, yeah
you know I'm gonna be like him......"

(chorus)

He came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head, and he said with a smile
"What I'm feeling like dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"

(chorus)

I've long since retired, my son has moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said "I'd like to see you if you dont mind"
He said "Id love to dad If I could find the time.
You see my new jobs a hassle, and the kids have the flu.
But Its sure nice talking to you, dad, It's been sure nice talking to you........"
And as I hung up the phone It had occured to me
He'd grown up just like me, my boy, was just like me..............

(chorus)

[RobW]

Minor Threat
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
'Cause I know I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch

I've got straight edge



Germs
Rip them down
Hold them up
Tell them that
I'm your gun
Pull my trigger
I am bigger than

I the Emperor proclaim
Us the masters we rule the game
Inclination-somethin' to dream on
Deprivation-we are sons

In the cold, the czars claiming
Just protecting, rockets aiming
Alteration-Earth is changin'
Observation-we want action



Descendents
Warning the Basemaster General has determined that coffee is good for your health
Doug is bouncing off the walls
Ray is drooling big spit balls
Feeling cranky, logged all night

Kids on coffee
Kids on coffee
Kids on coffee

Where's my Bonus Cup?
Come on man, fill me up
I need some Krappers to wash it down

Kids on coffee
Kids on coffee

Went driving down to San Diego
Passing by the nuclear tits
Go away off my earth!

Kids on coffee
Kids on coffee!

The amount of actual sleep is now optional.

[cupycake]

oh gawsh, there's so many to choose from, erm...:

Bloc Party-This Modern Love
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied

The Libertines-The Good old days
If you've lost your faith in love and music
Oh the end won't be long

[Mr stabby]

The others-william
Ba ba ba ba ba baa bow!

Fat les - Vindaloo

Can i introduce you please, to a lump of cheddar cheese.

[FoxDhoj]

Not my favourite lyrics, but my sisters. I don't particularly see the point:

Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At?

Where's your head at, at, at, at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Don't let the walls
Cave in on you
We can't evolve alone
Without you
Don't let the walls
Cave in on you
We can't evolve alone
Without you
Don't let the walls
Cave in on you
You get what you give
That much is true
Don't let the walls
Cave in on you
You turned the world away
From you

Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

You have found yourself
Trapped in this
Incomprehensible maze
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Don't make it easy on yourself
Where's your head at?
Got to get
Got to get
Got to get
Got to get

Where's your head at?

Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?

Don't let the walls
Cave in on you
We can't evolve alone
Without you
Don't let the walls
Cave in on you
We can't evolve alone
Without you
Where's your head at?
Where's your head at?
We can't evolve alone
Without you
We can't evolve alone
Without you

[Raisu Malt Rays]

Megaherz - Kopf Durch Die Wand

I admit, it isn't easy
because now and again
the wall doesn't give way
I beat my skull blue
But that doesn't fucking matter
I know for sure
I'll stay true to myself
My intentions count and that is
what you are all missing
Head full of sand
against the wall
So senseless
without reason

You shoot your mouths off
I'm seething
Put me in a cell
I'll break that down too
You loathe it
Incomprehensible to you
Do what you want
It's not my problem

Deftones - Birthmark

I'd meet you in wrong bury all
Then I would be alright with her
In whole cherished by two
It makes you fly yes I lie
God I'll even lick her f**king picture
In whole drinks won't stain this birth
It's just me I'm born carried lung
Now I could be right with her
In whole cherished by two
It makes you fly yes I lie
Drink one more so I could flow right in her
In whole drinks won't stain this birth
It makes you fly it makes you fly
It makes you fly it makes you fly
Bye I'm gonna ride in the sky
I will ride
Inspite I'll still lie
Inspite I'll still lie
Inspite I'll still lie
Inspite

[Hydralisk]

Kasabian - Cutt off

John was a scientist, he was hooked on LSD
Interested in mind control and how the monkey held the key
Said that all life is experiments somebody's planning for the heir
It's for the unexpecting citizens who hallucinate in fear.
Sing that.

Kasabian - Club foot
One...take control of me?
Yer messing with the enemy
Said its 2..it's another trick
Messin with my mind, I wake up
Chase down an empty street
Blindly snap the broken beats
Said it's cut with a dirty trick
Its taken all these days to find ya

I tell you I want you
I tell you I need you

friends, take control of me
Stalking cross' the gallery
All these pills got to operate
The colour quits and all invade us
There he goes again
Take me to the edge again
All I got is a dirty trick
I'm chasin down the wolves to save ya

*chorus*

[vVaddi]

Strawberry Fields Forever
Let me take you down 'cos I'm going to
Strawberry Fields, nothing is real
and nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields Forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
but it wall works aout
It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down 'cos I'm going to...

No one I think is in my tree,
I mean it must be high or low
this is you can't you know tune in
but it's allright
that is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down...

Always no sometimes think it's me
but you know I know when it's a dream
I think, er, no, I mean, er , Yes!
but's all wrong
that is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down...

Strawberry Fields Forever
Strawberry Fields Forevr...

[Geek Grrrl]

I <3 armor for sleep for they're pretty lyrics, I could listen to them all day
Armor For Sleep - dream to make believe
I wake up and think dreams are real
I sleep so I don't have to feel
the truth that you can never be
the one person that won't ever forget me

Let me sleep some more...

this is my happy bouncy song :p
Motion City Soundtrack - the future freaks me out
I’m on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move
Check it out I’m rocking steady
To the beat in my head
It goes oh, oh, oh, oh
I know that she’s the only one
I’d rather waste our time together
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down.


Underoath - some will seek forgiveness, others escape (prettiest song ever)
I heard a voice through the dischord
Of a deluge of passers-by.
I saw one gaze frozen in time
Watching me passing by.
I swear I'll know your face in the crowd,
And I'll hear your voice so loud
When you're whispering...

Hey unfaithful I will teach you
To be stronger, to be stronger.
Hey ungraceful I will teach you
To forgive one another.

[Bisyss]

Rock And Roll Can Rescue The World by Electric Eel Shock:

System of a down - Lost in Hollywood

Slipknot - Pulse of the maggots

We are the new diabolic
We are the bitter new calling
If I had to give my life you could have it
We are the pulse of the maggots

[woobi]

Modest Mouse - Bukowski
If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

[gruff]

The Only Gay Eskimo - Tenacious D

I'm the only gay eskimo
I'm the only one I know
I'm the only gay eskimo
In my tribe

I go out seal hunting with my best friend Tarka
But all I wanna do is get into his parka
I'm the only gay eskimo
In my tribe

Well .. me an nut fluck chuck buck, we both like blubber
But me I've got this crazy fetish for rubber
I'm the only gay eskimo
In my tribe

I make a wish on the northern lights
That I could get a decent pair of whale skin tights
I'm the only gay eskimo
In my tribe

And the seals they sing now
*seal noises*

These cold winter nights are taking their toll
I even get excited when I see the north pole
See the north pole

I'm the only gay eskimo
I'm the only one I know
I'm the only gay eskimo
In my tribe

Come Home Billy Bird -The Divine Comedy
William wakes with his clothes on
The morning call has been and gone
And he might not make the flight but he will try. (yeah)
Bit by bit it comes back to him
A bunch of Belgian businessmen
And a strange drinking game - oh god why?

Come home Billy Bird, International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird.

He hails a cab but the driver sucks;
He drives so slowly and he talks so much
That it hurts Billy Bird's aching brain.
He runs from the cab to the check-in desk
She says "no way" but William begs
On his knees "please please please" , "well okay."

Come home Billy Bird, International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird.

Drenched in sweat he finds his seat
And with the luggage squeezed down beneath his feet
He begins to think that things can't get no worse.
And then a voice says "bags that can't be stowed
In the overhead lockers must go below
In the hold - please let go. Thank you, Sir."

Come home Billy Bird, [Come home William] International Business Traveller
Come home Billy Bird,
Come home William,
Come home, William.

He runs on past the carousel
Screaming "damn my luggage all to Hell
I can buy a new shirt and tie anyday!"
He rides from the airport into town
To the highschool football ground
Where his son has just begun the big football game.

[Broche]

I'm currently loving Forget me by elbow, the lyrics for that whole song are great, but my favourite verse has to be:

The man on the door
has a face like mars
like a baby born
to the doors of the bars
He's surrounded by steam
with his folded arms
he's got that urban genie thing
goin' on
He's so merc'fully free
of the pressures of grace
St. peter in satin, hes like buddha with mace

[pietastic_saz]

Smile Empty Soul - This is War

Now here we are...
I drove in a car,
and flew in a plane,
to come to your house,
and kick your door in.

Now its down to this,
Its just you and me,
Ill blow your fucking head off
...for my country...

My feet hurt from the sand,
But still I march on, gun in hand...
'coz this is war...

This isnt what I planned,
I wanted to be so much more...
but this is war...

*violin*

This song is really sad, but I suppose I like it. It gives a much better image of war than Green Day's song.

[gruff]

The National Express - The Divine Comedy

Take the National Express when your life's in a mess, it will make you smile..
All human life is here, from the feeble old dear to the screaming child..
From the student who knows, that to have one of those, would be suicide,
To the family man, manhandling the pram with paternal pride

And everybody sings.. Yeah.. uh huh... alright...
we're going where the air, is free...

On the National Express there's a jolly hostess, selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks, for a sky high fee..
Mini skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle, back in 63
But it's hard to get by, when your arse is the size of a small country..

And everybody sings.. Yeah.. uh huh.. alright..
we're going where the air, is free...

Tomorrow belongs to me.. When you're sad and feeling blue, with nothing better to do,
just don't sit there feeling stressed, take a trip on the NATIONAL EXPRESS..
On the National Express..
Let's go!..

[captain canuck]

From Nada Surf, because not mentioning them would seem odd for me...

Amateur (chorus section):
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
I know I'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try...

And many more; all from the same band. But I won't clutter up the thread. ;)

[RobW]

The Queers manage to make the majority of their songs out of primary chords with overly happy riffs to top them off with. Here's one of their better songs:


Leather jackets, stupid boyfriends,
poor report cards, life is just a ball
Hi- top Chucks and bubblegum and oh my gosh I'd
love to love them all

They're so cool their style is never cramped
Too much of everything and everyone is amped
Well, do't get hot and bothered
listen, I know I got problems
I also know just what this goofy world needs

Yummy yummy punk rock girls
I wish they all were punk rock girls

The smartest of the smartest and the sweetest of
the sweetest, they're the most
Me and Dr. Frank have both decided that we love
them more than toast

I wish they'd let me share their bubblegum
And let me hang with them and life would be so fun
I should be sedated cuz my heart is all inflated
I guess I gotta get me one or two

I don't know where I'm going, but I know just
where I'd like to be
With my punk rock girlfriend kissing me
Let's go




Yes, they're that dumb.

[gruff]

Its Me - Dr. Lecter and The Police

[Lecter]

Remember the pen that I saw on the table

I ate it when no one was watching

Now I open my mouth and the pen's here again:

Their security's ripe for the botching.

I'll use it to pick the lock

And mutilate both of these cops.

Though it's not Halloween I've concocted a plan

I'll escape from this prison by wearing a man!

[Police]

Look what he did to this officer's face

He chewed off his cheeks and he sprayed him with mace.

We're all in a tizzy, oh Jesus where is he

Oh where could Hannibal be?

[Lecter]

This cop is already dead -- -it's me!

[Police]

Get this man to a hospital

He's arresting he's shaking he's not gonna make it!

[Lecter]

Somebody get me an Oscar for best phony seizure

Just watch how adeptly I fake it.

[Police]

Get out of the way; have the medics arrived?

One's already dead and one's barely alive

Security sucked, and now we're all fucked

Oh where could Hannibal be?

[Lecter]

This cop is already dead, you'll see.

I'm wearing his face on my head -- it's me.

[Cop 1]

What do I say to a person who just lost his face?

I betcha he'll miss it.

[Cop 2]

That cop has a name -- it's Jim Pembry!

Now tell him he's fine, he looks terrific.

[Police]

Look at that blood

We think he's up there:

The elevator's roof.

[Lecter]

I'm leaving you now

Goodbye and take care

You won't believe this goof.

[Police]

Fire a shot in his knee!

No response; who the hell can this be!?

[Lecter]

I've left the building at last I'm free,

[Police]

Say it isn't so,

[Lecter]

This cop is already dead, you see,

[Police]

Did we just let him go?

[Lecter]

I'm wearing his face on my head...

It's me!!!

[Growl]

Opeth - Ghost of Perdition

Ghost of Mother
Lingering death
Ghost on Mother's Bed
Black strands on the pillow
Contour of her health
Twisted face upon the head

Ghost of perdition
Stuck in her chest
A warning no one read
Tragic friendship
Called inside the fog
Pouring venom brew deceiving

Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
Blew hope into the room and said:
"You have to live before you die young"

Holding her down
Channeling darkness
Hemlock for the gods
Fading resistance
Draining the weakness
Penetrating inner light

Road into the dark unaware
Winding ever higher

Darkness by her side
Spoke and passed her by
Dedicated hunter
Waits to pull us under
Rose up to it's call
In his arms she'd fall
Mother light received
And a faithful servent's free

In time the hissing of her sanity
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
And like marked pages in a diary
Everything seemed clean and is unstained
The incoherent talk of ordinary days
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
What you should take and what to give

Ghost of Perdition
A saint's premonitions unclear
Keeper of holy hordes
Keeper of holy whores

To see a beloved son
In despair of what's to come

If one cut the source of the flow
And everything would change
Would conviction fall
In the shadows of the righteous
The phantasm of your mind
Might be calling you to go
Defying the forgotten morals
Where the victim is the prey

[FoxDhoj]

Modest Mouse - Bukowski
If God controls the land and disease,
keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn mighty,
my problem is I can't see,
well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?
Well who would wanna be?
Who would wanna be such a control freak?

Wahey!

From Nada Surf, because not mentioning them would seem odd for me...

Amateur (chorus section):
You said I should get professional help, it always makes me cry.
I know I'm just an amateur, but i've gotta try...

And many more; all from the same band. But I won't clutter up the thread. ;)

Wahey!

Can somebody help me find the lyrics for Dogs - Selfish Ways please? 'Tis a good song...

[Highway_Runner]

She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale

Makes no sense at all. That's Procol Harum for you :)

[Czar]

A Tribe Called Quest- Excursions

Frontier psychiatrist- The Avalanches

Is dexter ill, is dexter ill, is dexter ill
Is dexter ill today, mr kirk, dexter’s in school
I’m afraid he’s not, miss fishborne
Dexter’s truancy problem is way out of hand
The baltimore county school board have decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system

Oh mr kirk, I’m as upset as you to learn of dexter’s truancy
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I’m afraid expulsion is the only answer
It’s the opinion of the entire staff that dexter is criminally insane

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic,
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! what does that mean?
You’re a nut! you’re crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? that boy needs therapy
I’m gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let’s have it to you
On the count of three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Avalanches is above, business continues below
Did I ever tell you the story about
Cowboys! bit , bit bitches and the indians and, fron, frontier psychiatrist
I... I felt strangely hypnotised
I was in another world, a world of 20.000 girls
And milk! rectangles, to an optometrist, the man with the golden eyeball
And tighten your buttocks, pour juice on your chin
I promise my girlfriend i’d... the violin, violin, violin ...

Frontier psychiatrist
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier
Frontier, frontier, frontier, frontier

That boy needs therapy, psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That boy needs therapy
Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?
You’re a nut! you’re crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? that boy needs therapy
I’m gonna kill you, that boy needs therapy
Ranagazoo, let’s have a duel
Now when I count three
That, that, that, that, that boy.. boy needs therapy
He was white as a sheet
And he also made false teeth

Frontier psychiatrist

Can you think of anything else that talks, other than a person?
Uh ohh... uh oh, a bird! yeah!
Sometimes a parrot talks
Ha ha ha ha ha !!!!
Yes, some birds are funny when they talk
Can you think of anything else
A record, record, record !

The Middle- Jimmy Eat World

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, you know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or
looked down on.
Just do your best, do everything you can.
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say.
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).
It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the
ride.
Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything
(everything) will be alright (alright).

3 very different songs. :|

[{EmMa*DiLeMmA}]

(a bit repetative maybe but I like it.)

GARBAGE - #1 CRUSH

I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side, to know that you're mine

I would cry for you
I would cry for you
I will wash away your pain with all my tears, I'm drowning on fear

I will pray for you
I will pray for you,
I will sell my soul for something pure and true, someone like you

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talkin'
You will believe in me, and I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart, and tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see, you're just like me

Violate all the love that I'm missin'
Throw away all the pain that I'm livin'
You will believe in me, and I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sink ships for you,
Take the cross for you
Make me a part of you
Because I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

[Snoon]

crowded house - it's only natural

you read me like a book,
that’s fallen down between your knees,
please,
let me have my way with you

[Thomp]

Counting Crows- A Long December

Drove up to Hill Side Manor sometime after 2am,
Talk a little while about the year,
I guess the winter makes you,
Laugh a little slower, make you talk a little lower,
About the things you could not show

U2- One

Have you come here for foregiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play jesus?
To the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You gave me nothing,
Now it’s all I got,
We’re one,
But we’re not the same,
We hurt each other,
Then we do it again

[tom93]

The best I can think of straight away...


Ash - On A Wave
She's in my system
She'll stay there forever
Like a virus that's in my heart

System of a Down - Ddevils
Stupid people do stupid things,
Smart people outsmart each other,
Then themselves...

Rage Against the Machine - Calm Like A Bomb
There's a widow pig parrot,
A rebel to tame,
A whitehooded judge,
A syringe and a vein

[SupaFly]

LARS FREDERIKSEN & THE B*****DS LYRICS

"To Have And To Have Not"

Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there be no work next year
Quantifications once the Golden Rule are now just pieces of paper
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy.
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards.
Well if you look the part well then you'll get the job in last year's trousers and your oldschool shoes
The truth is son it's a buyer's market they can afford to pick and choose
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist.
Well the factory's are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I've come to see in the land of the free
There's only room for a chosen few
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards
Well at 21 you're atop of the scrap heap
At 16 you were top of your class
Well I dropped outta high school in Campbell, CA
Got a guitar and I never looked back
Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist.

I love this song just coz It's true!

[Maple Moose]

Metallica- Anesthesia(pulling teeth)
Cliff-
Bass solo Take 1

Weezer- We are all on drugs
When you're out with your friends
In your new Mercedes Benz and you're
On drugs
And you show up late for school cuz
You think your really cool when you're
On drugs
And you put on your headphones
And you step into the zone when you're
On drugs
But the world don't care
If your not there cuz you're
On drugs

[Soma]

I can't think of favouraits but I'll quote some I love...

The Smashing Pumpkins - Bodies
"nobody's felt like you, no bodies, love is SUICIDE..."

A Perfect Circle - Pet
"...count the bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums"

Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing
"I'm unclean A Liberteen
And everytime you vent your spleen
I seem to lose, the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like, an evergreen,
You've never seen the lonely me at all"

[Disgruntledgoat]

Radiohead - My Iron Lung
...
Suck
Suck your teenage thumb
toilet trained and dumb
when the power runs out we'll just hum
This
This is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung
...

British Sea Power - Remember Me
Do you worry about your health
Do you watch it slowly change?
And when you listen to yourself
Does it feel like somebody else?

Did you notice when you began to disappear
Was it slowly at first
Until there's nobody really there?
...
Did half of you pass away
Oh what about the other half?
Oh what about the other half?
Whatever!

You're all part of the same old fucking regime
With someone taking it out
Whilst you were putting it in
It in
....

What I'm Looking For - Brendan Benson

Well I don't know what I'm looking for
But I know that I just wanna look some more
And I won't be satisfied
'Till there's nothing left that I haven't tried
For some people it's an easy choice
But for me there's a devil and an angel's voice
Well I don't know what I am looking for
But I know that I just wanna look some more

Well I don't know what I'm living for
But I know that I just wanna live some more
And you hear it from strangers
And you hear it from friends
That love never dies, love never ends
Now I don't wanna argue, no I don't wanna fight
'Cause you're always wrong and I'm always right
Well I don't know what I am living for
But I know that I just wanna live some more

I used to be involved, and I felt like a king
Now I've lost it all and I don't feel a thing
I may never grow old, I may never give in
And I'll blame this world that I live in
I visit hell on a daily basis
I see the sadness in all your faces
I've got friends who have married
And their lives seem complete
Here I am still stumbling down a darkened street

And I act like a child and I'm insecure
And I'm filled with doubt and I'm immature
Sometimes it creeps up on me and before I know it
I'm lost at sea
But no matter how far I row
I always find my way back home
But I don't know what I've been waiting for
But I know that I don't wanna wait anymore

Looking for...
What I'm looking for...
Looking for...
What I'm looking for...
Looking for...
What I'm looking for...
Looking for...
What I'm looking for...
Looking for...
What I'm looking for...

I just love the way that it seems to sum my most often state of mind up in the lyrics..

"And I act like a child and I'm insecure
And I'm filled with doubt and I'm immature"

August and Everything After - Counting Crows

They’re wakin’ up Maria
‘cause everybody else has got some place to go
She makes a little motion with her head,
rolls over, and says she’s gonna sleep for a couple minutes more
I said I’m sorry to Maria
for all the cold-hearted things that I have done
I said I’m sorry by now at least once
to just about everyone
She says I’ve forgotten what I’m supposed to do today
And it slips my mind what I’m supposed to say
We’re getting older and older and older
and always a little further out of the way
You look into her eyes
and it’s more than your heart will allow
And August and everything after
you get a little less than you expected somehow
Well I stumbled into Washington Square
just as the sun began to rise
And I laid down on the lawn of the cathedral
and laid down and the shadow of St. Mary’s in the sky
And I’m just one of these late model children
waiting for the king
But there ain’t no sign of Elvis in San Francisco
it’s just me and I’m playin’ this rock and roll thing
She wants to be just like me
And I want every damn thing I can see
You know one day you’re Daddy’s little angel
The next day you’re everything he wanted you to be
They dress you up in white satin
and they give you your very own pair of wings
In August and everything after
I’m after everything
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah - lalala
Well I got my reservations
and I got my seven-million dollar home
I got the number of some girl in New York City
who’s always wide awake
so I never have to spend the night alone
I got this nasty little habit
of peekin’ down the shirts of all the little girls
as they pass me by
And I wonder when it all catches up to me
and they finally take me down–
Did you think I was gonna cry?
Well I already got my disease
So take your fuckin’ filthy hands off of me
Yeah well I hope you don't expect me to be crucified
The best that they can do
is just to hang me from the nearest tree
It’s midnight in San Francisco
and I’m waiting here for Jesus on my knees
And August and everything after
I want somebody else to bleed for me
I said yeah yeah yeah lalala...
I came down from North Dakota
with confidence in the military mind
And now everyone I know is turning showgirl
and dancing with their shirt off
in some Las Vegas hotel line
So I'm going to New York City
'Cause it's got a little sleazy here for me
When i find myself alone, No I'm never going home
You make the changes, the changes that you need
But I no longer know how to pray
I live in dog town and it’s a Dalmatian parade
And I, I change my spots over and over
but they never seem to fade away
I am the last remaining Indian
looking for the place where the buffalo roam
In August and everything after
man them buffalo ain’t never comin’ home
And I said in August and everything after
man them buffalo ain’t never comin’ home
I said oh yeah yeah yeah lalala

such a bitter yet beautiful song, i highly recomend you download it from www.annabegins.com .

Bob Dylan - Like a Rolling Stone

Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you're gonna have to get used to it
You said you'd never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And ask him do you want to make a deal?

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

You never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns
When they all come down and did tricks for you
You never understood that it ain't no good
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.

How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

[KamikzeWatermln]

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run.
I’m crying, I’m crying.
I’m crying, I’m crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don’t you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I’m crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.
Goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob g’goo.

[Jasmine]

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover
And my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time.
It's detachable.
This comes in handy a lot of the time.
I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.
But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,
and the next morning I can't for the life of me
remember what I did with it.
First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.
So I called up the place where the party was,
they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet
'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes
But not this time.
So I told them if it pops up to let me know.
I called a few people who were at the party,
but they were no help either.
I was starting to get desperate.
I really don't like being without my penis for too long.
It makes me feel like less of a man,
and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak.
After a few hours of searching the house,
and calling everyone I could think of,
I was starting to get very depressed,
so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.
Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place,
where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street,
I saw my penis lying on a blanket
next to a broken toaster oven.
Some guy was selling it.
I had to buy it off him.
He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen.
I took it home, washed it off,
and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached,
but I don't know.
Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,
I like having a detachable penis.

Johnny Cash - Ballad of a Teenage queen
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (How those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)

She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen (Not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)

He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out (Came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)

Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town (But she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)

Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train (Left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store

(Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy store)

Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Brothers Cup
'With the brothers cup coming to your town
bringing tubs of love
were gonna spread it around'


Red Hot chili Peppers - Give it away
Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to recieve your less
Unimpressed by material excess
love is free, love me say hell yes


Weird Al - Alburquerke
Hey you cant have that, that snorkel has been just like a snorkel to me!!

Johnny Cash - Man in black
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times.

I wear the black for those who never read,
Or listened to the words that Jesus said,
About the road to happiness through love and charity,
Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me.

Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,
In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,
But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,
Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black.

I wear it for the sick and lonely old,
For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,
I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,
Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,
Believen' that the Lord was on their side,
I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,
Believen' that we all were on their side.

Well, there's things that never will be right I know,
And things need changin' everywhere you go,
But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,
You'll never see me wear a suit of white.

Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black.

[MONKEY050]

Paul McCartney - Follow Me
You lift up my spirits, you shine on my soul
Whenever I'm empty, you make me feel whole
I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me.

You give me direction, you show me the way
You give me a reason, to face every day
I can depend on you, to send me to, any destination
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me.

Down the track of lonelines, down the path of love
Through the words of heartache, to the end
On the shores of sorrow, where the waves of hope crash in
The perfect place for me to find a friend. ahh yeah yeah yeah, oh

You lead to places, that I've never been
Uncovering secrets, that I've never seen
I can rely on you, to guide me through, any situation
You hold up a sign that reads, follow me, follow me,
Follow me, follow me,
Follow me, follow me

Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized



Sometimes I try to do things, and it just don't turn out the way I wanted to
and I get real frustrated, it's like, I take my time and I try real hard, but
no matter what I do and no matter what I try it never works out, it's like I
concentrate on it real hard, but it never works out, it's like I need some
time to figure these things out, but there's always someone there going:
- Hey Mike, you know, we been noticing you've been having alot of problems
lately, you know, and like maybe you should talk about it, you'd feel alot
better.
And I go:
- No, it's ok, I now have some problems, I'll figure it out myself, just
leave me alone I'll figure it out.
And they go:
- Why don't you talk about it, you'll feel alot better?
And I go:
- No, I don't want to, just leave me alone, I'll figure it out myself!
And they keep on bugging me and it builds up inside, it builds up inside...

So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was sitting in my room, and I was like staring at the walls thinking about
everything but then again I was thinking about nothing, and then my mom came
in and I didn't notice she was there and she calls my name and I didn't hear
her and then she started screaming:
- Mike, Mike!
And I go:
- What, what's the matter?
She goes:
- What's the matter with you?
I say:
- Nothing mom.
She goes:
- Don't tell me nothing, you're on drugs!
I go:
- No mom, I'm not on drugs, I'm ok, I'm just thinking, you know, why don't
you get me a Pepsi?
She goes:
- No, you're on drugs, you're crazy, normal people won't be acting that way!
I go:
- Mom, I'm all right, I'm just thinking, you know, so why don't you, like
give me a Pepsi?
And she goes:
- No, you're crazy!
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me,
just one Pepsi.

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a
chair and they sat down, they go:
- Mike, we need to talk to you.
And I said:
- Okay, what's the matter?
They go:
- Well me and your mom, we been noticing lately you've been having alot of
problems, and you haven't been acting like yourself, and we're afraid that
you're going to hurt somebody, and we're afraid that you're gonna hurt
yourself, so we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put
you somewhere where you could get the help that you need...
And I said:
- Wait, what are we talking about?! We decided?! My best interest?! How can
you know, how can you say what my best interest is? What are you trying to
say? I'm crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I
went to your institutional learning facilities. So how can you say that I'm
crazy?

They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally I'll be dead

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

What does it matter I'll probably get hit by a car anyway

Frank Zappa - Ship Arriving too late to save a drowning witch.


There's a ship arriving too late
To save a drowning witch
She was swimmin' along
Tryin' to keep a date
With a Merchant Marine
Who told her he was really rich
But it doesn't matter no more . . .
She's on the ocean floor
'N the water's all green down there
'N it's not very clean down there
'N water snakes
'N rusty wrecks
Is all that she can see
As the light goes dim
And she's tryin' to swim
Will she make it?
(Boy, we sure hope so . . . )

Not even a witch oughta be caught
On the bottom of America's spew-infested
Waterways, hey-hey . . .
She could get radiation all over her
She could mutate insanely . . .
She could mutate insanely . . . (that's right)
You know, she could go on the freeway and grow up to be 15 feet tall
And scary-lookin'
And then . . .
Cars could crash all over the place
As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on . . .
Lookin' up to see her face

Sardines in her eyebrows . . .
Lobsters up 'n down her forehead
All of them HORRIBLY LARGE FROM RADIATION . . .
And smelling very bad
And DANGEROUS!

Maybe a submarine could save her,
And bring her home to the Navy . . .
For some kind of
Oo-oo-oo-ah ah
Ah-oo-oo oo-oo-oo
Ah-oo-ahhh
Ritual sacrifice . . .

Go It Alone- Cold Winter

Young and angry.
Half crazy.
WITH NOTHING TO LOSE!
Fighting for life with a pulse.
Hungry and hopeful, scraping the bottom but looking up.
Broke but not broken, vicious in our lust for SOMETHING MORE!
Don't you want SOMETHING MORE?

Hard-Fi - Better Do Better
Let me tell you how I've been,
I've been hiding from my friends,
Hiding from the world,
Hiding from myself...

The Matches - Dog-Eared Page
I'm just a dog-eared page,
you turn back to,
where's the place for me,
when we're both in love with you?

Hot Hot Heat - Middle Of Nowhere
You didn't have to do it,
but you did it so that you could say,
that you didn't have to do it,
but you did it anyway.

Third Eye Blind - Misfits

Hey bro, props at the aftershow
Can you tell me where the greenbuds grow?
I'd like to say you turned my life around

I lost myself outside again
With the sound running through my head
Drowned out, way out in the crowd
And the crowd goes singing "oh, whoa"
And they sing "oh, whoa"

My people are the misfits
The ones that don't fit in
With the smile I know it comes within
I can feel you in the corners
Laughing when the lightings low

Tick tick
Tell me where the time goes
Oh life, you know it moves much to slow
Tick tick
Tell me where the time goes

Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me

Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me

My people are the misfits
I won't let you down
I'm dizzy from whatever we just passed around
I bleed for the moments when we're here
When we're all around

Tick tick
Tell me where the time goes
Oh life, you know it moves much to slow
Tick tick
Tell me where the time goes

Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me

Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me

And if I let it all breathe
They say "alright, alright"
And I forget what it means
And they say "alright, alright"
Yeah alright, it's alright

Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me

Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me
