[Gregor Samsa]

The Clash-Spanish Bombs
Spanish songs in Andalucia
The shooting sites in the days of '39
Oh, please, leave the ventana open
Federico Lorca is dead and gone
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls
The black cars of the Guardia Civil
Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica
I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

CHORUS
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO
Yo TE QUIERO, oh mi corazon
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero INFINITO
Yo TE QUIERO, oh mi corazon

Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died upon the hill
They sang the red flag
They wore the black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels
My seorita's rose was nipped in the bud

CHORUS

The hillsides ring with "Free the people"
Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39?
With trenches full of poets
The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight
Spanish songs in Andalucia, mandolina, oh mi corazon
Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazon.

Never is a Promise - Fiona Apple

You'll never see -- the courage I know
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view
I'll never glow -- the way that you glow
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
I understand what I am still too proud to mention -- to you

You'll say you understand, but you don't understand
You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie

You'll never touch -- these things that I hold
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own
You'll never feel the heat of this soul
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown -- to you

You'll say, Don't fear your dreams, its easier than it seems
You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high
But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie

You'll never live the life that I live
I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night
You'll never hear the message I give
You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception
My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights
I realize what I am now too smart to mention -- to you

You'll say you understand, you'll never understand
I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why
I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am
You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry
But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie

[It's a really beautiful song, really full of emotion, and it's just Fiona singing and playing the piano. I could listen to it all day]

 

[PrettyNoose]

Red hot chili peppers - don't forget me

I'm an ocean in your bedroom
Make you feel warm
Make you wanna reasume
Now we know it all for sure

I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat
Make the snow fall up from underneath your feet
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

I'm a meth lab first rehab
Take it all off
And step inside the running cab
There's a love that knows the way

I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
All the memories of everything you've ever smelled
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

(Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend)
Ooooh...
Don't forget me I can't hide it
Come again get me excited

I'm an inbred and a pothead
Two legs that you spread
Inside the tool shed
Now we know it all for sure

I could show you
To the free field overcome and more will always be revealed
Not alone I'll be there
Tell me when you want to go

(Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend)
Oooh...
Don't forget me I can't hide it
Come again get me excited

Ooooh...
(Sideways falling
More will be revealed my friend)
Don't forget me I can't hide it
There's a match now let me light it

I'm the bloodstain
On your shirt sleeve
Coming down and more are coming to believe
Now we know it all for sure

Make the hair stand
Up on your arm
Teach you how to dance
Inside the funny thong
Not alone, I'll be there
Tell me when you wanna go

I'll be there and tell me when you wanna go
Come on then and tell me when you wanna go
More will be revealed my friend

midnight - i really love that song, in fact i really love fiona. which of her albums do you like more? i think tidal is more raw emotion, whereas when the pawn etc (sadly i know the whole title) is more measured, and maybe less beautiful, but still... poignant. if that doesn't sound like a complete wank. : )


sometimes i think this is my theme song:

'the way things are' - fiona apple

i wouldn't know what to do with another chance
if you gave it to me
i couldn't take the embrace of a real romance
it'd race right through me

i'm much better off the way things are,
much much better off, better by far

i wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice,
it'd roll right past me
and if you chalk it up you'll see i don't really have a choice,
so don't even ask me

i'm much better off the way things are,
much much better off, better by far

so keep on calling me names,
keep on, keep on
and i'll keep on kicking the crap til it's gone
if you keep on killing you can get me to settle
and as soon as i settle i bet i'll be able to move on



----------
that is where i forget the rest. heh.

I'm listening to it right now. And Tidal is my favourite album of hers.

the doors - the end

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In our...desperate land ?

Lost in a romance...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah
Fuck, fuck, fuck yeah
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest
The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us ?

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
"Father ?", "yes son", "I want to kill you"
"Mother?...I want to...fuck you"

C'mon baby, take a chance with us X3
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock, C'mon, yeah
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end, Beautiful friend
This is the end, My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

has anyone here ever heard an album 'The Holy Bible' by the Manic Street Preachers?

it has some interesting lyrics. some of them shit. plenty cool but all of it original and engaging.

 

[Mojoman]

i havent heard much manic street preachers, ive heard if you tolerate this your children will be next, and i like that

 

[walrusbear]

thats prob. their best song
lyrics aren't great tho

 

[bubz :D]

hmm feel like some alanis morissette after browsing through the "ironic" thread
this is from memory, so please forgive me

ALANIS MORISETTE - YOU OUGHTA KNOW
i want you to know
that i'm happy for you
i wish nothing but the best for you both

an older version of me
is she perverted like me
would she go down on you in a theatre?
does she speak eloquently
and would she have your baby
i'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

(chorus)
coz the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enoughf or you to be open wide, no
and every time u speak her name
does she know that you told me
you'd hold me until you died, til you died
but you're still alive

and i'm here to remind you
of the mess you left when you went away
it's not fair to deny me
of the cross i bear that you gave to me
you, you, you oughta know

you seem very well
things look peaceful
i'm not quite as well
i thought you should know
did you forget about me, mr duplicity?
i hate to bug you int he middle of dinner
it was a slap in the face
how quickly i was replaced
and are you thinking of me
when you fuck her

(rpt chorus)

coz the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
wasn't able to make it enough for u to be open wide
and you know it
and every time i scratch my nails down someone else's back
i hope you feel it.. well can you feel it....

(such nice, cheerful lyrics.... )

The Origin of Love :: Stephen Trask
When the earth was still flat,
And the clouds made of fire,
And mountains stretched up to the sky,
Sometimes higher,
Folks roamed the earth
Like big rolling kegs.
They had two sets of arms.
They had two sets of legs.
They had two faces peering
Out of one giant head
So they could watch all around them
As they talked; while they read.
And they never knew nothing of love.
It was before the origin of love.

The origin of love

And there were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men
Glued up back to back,
Called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth
Were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls
Rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon
Were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth
Part daughter, part son.

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared
Of our strength and defiance
And Thor said,
"I'm gonna kill them all
With my hammer,
Like I killed the giants."
And Zeus said, "No,
You better let me
Use my lightening, like scissors,
Like I cut the legs off the whales
And dinosaurs into lizards."
Then he grabbed up some bolts
And he let out a laugh,
Said, "I'll split them right down the middle.
Gonna cut them right up in half."
And then storm clouds gathered above
Into great balls of fire

And then fire shot down
From the sky in bolts
Like shining blades
Of a knife.
And it ripped
Right through the flesh
Of the children of the sun
And the moon
And the earth.
And some Indian god
Sewed the wound up into a hole,
Pulled it round to our belly
To remind us of the price we pay.
And Osiris and the gods of the Nile
Gathered up a big storm
To blow a hurricane,
To scatter us away,
In a flood of wind and rain,
And a sea of tidal waves,
To wash us all away,
And if we don't behave
They'll cut us down again
And we'll be hopping round on one foot
And looking through one eye.

Last time I saw you
We had just split in two.
You were looking at me.
I was looking at you.
You had a way so familiar,
But I could not recognize,
Cause you had blood on your face;
I had blood in my eyes.
But I could swear by your expression
That the pain down in your soul
Was the same as the one down in mine.
That's the pain,
Cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
So we wrapped our arms around each other,
Trying to shove ourselves back together.
We were making love,
Making love.
It was a cold dark evening,
Such a long time ago,
When by the mighty hand of Jove,
It was the sad story
How we became
Lonely two-legged creatures,
It's the story of
The origin of love.
That's the origin of love.

Faster - Manic Street Preachers

I hate purity, hate goodness
I don't want virtue to exist anywhere
I want everyone corrupt

I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me primitive
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please
A morality obedient only to the cleansed repented

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell

The first time you see yourself naked you cry
Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I've been too honest with myself
I should have lied like everybody else

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

Julian Lennon - Saltwater

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious we can walk the moon
But when I hear of how the forest have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying And now I'm crying
And time is not a friend (no friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by ....right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted my how clever we are
Why should one baby feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Bridge
We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will I think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes
Saltwater wells in my eyes

thats why i posted

 

[Mojoman]

i dunno if ive posted this before but eh... im posting it

metallica - fade to black

Life it seems,will fade away
Drifting further everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
I Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost this can't be real
I Can not stand this hell i feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late!
now I can't think, think why I should even try!

Yesterday seems as though it never existed!
Death greets me warm,now I will just say goodbye!!!

 

[virgin^sexy]

i see you're a fan of ride the lightning?

trapped under ice

i dont know how to live through this hell
woken up im still locked in this shell
frozen soul frozen down to the core
break the ice i cant take anymore

freezing
cant move at all
screaming
cant hear my call
i am dying to live
cry out
im trapped under ice

crystallized as i lay here and rest
eyes of glass stare directly at death
from deep sleep i have broken away
no one knows no one hears what i say

scream from my soul
fate mystified
hell forever more

no release from my cryonic state
what is this? ive been stricken by fate
wrapped up tight cannot move cant break free
hand of doom has a tight grip on me.


(i basically just like the lyrics in this song, not the music..)

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg... u rule!!

ride the lightning is my fav tallica cd.. then master, then ...ajfa comes a close third to black

more metallica lyrics coming right up

metallica - sanitarium

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged

Dream the same thing every night
I see my freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see that why my brain says rage

Sanitarium
Leave me be
Sanitarium
Just leave me alone

Build my fear of what's out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I'm insane

They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He's getting better, can't you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, dammit, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium
Leave me be
Sanitarium
Just leave me alone

Sanitarium
Just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do

Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Radiohead-Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to firebomb the house
I didn't feel pain, 'cause no one can touch me
Now that I'm held in your spell

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust

Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
I never cared before, I never cared before
I never cared before, before, before, before

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl can turn your world into dust

I stood in front of her face
When the first bullet was shot

Fairly minimal lyrics, but they're still meaningful and able to effectively convey mood.
