if i could tell the world just one thing
it would be that we're all okay
and not to worry cos worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
i won't be made useless
i won't be idle with despair
i will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken
poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
and heart ache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
we'll fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
cos where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken
in the end only kindness matters
in the end only kindness matters
i will get down on my knees and i will pray
i will get down on my knees and i will pray
i will get down on my knees and i will pray
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken
my hands are small, i know
but they're not yours, they are my own
but they're not yours, they are my own
and i am never broken
we are never broken...

Nice. I also dig the lyrics to 'Working Class Hero', or Lennon's 'psycho lyrics', such as the following;
The Beatles-Strawberry Fields Forever.
Let me take you down, 'cause 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 all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Fuel - Shimmer
She calls me from the cold
Just when I was low, feeling short of stable
And all that she intends
And all she keeps inside isn't on the label
She says she's ashamed
Can she take me for awhile
Can I be a friend, we'll forget the past
Or maybe I'm not able
And I break at the bend
We're here and now, will ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
She dreams a champagne dream
Strawberry suprise, pink linen and white paper
Lavender and cream
Fields of butterflies, reality escapes her
She says that love is for fools that fall behind,
And I'm somewhere between
Never really know
A killer from a saviour
'Til I break at the bend
We're here and now, will ever be again
'Cause I have found
All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
Away again
It's too far away for me to hold
Too far away
It's too far away for me to hold
Too far away
Guess I'll let it go....

Speaking of Fuel, I like this song:
Won't Back Down:
know what darkness means
(and the void you learned from me)
The isolation steams
(So I think it wants to bleed)
The echoes in my brain
(All the things you said to me)
You took my everything
Now I'm coming for you!
[Chorus:]
I won't back down
I will not bow
I've come to bring you hell
I cant forget
Things you did
I've come to bring you hell
The shadows that you see
(In the places that you sleep)
Are memories of me
(Better pray your soul to keep)
The truth behind your eyes
(You know the thing you never see)
Your darkest little lies
I'm coming for you!
[Chorus]
All the scars that never heal
All the wounds that will not seal
I will not forget the day
These memories never fall
[Chorus]
I've come to bring you hell
Won't Back Down:
know what darkness means
(and the void you learned from me)
The isolation steams
(So I think it wants to bleed)
The echoes in my brain
(All the things you said to me)
You took my everything
Now I'm coming for you!
[Chorus:]
I won't back down
I will not bow
I've come to bring you hell
I cant forget
Things you did
I've come to bring you hell
The shadows that you see
(In the places that you sleep)
Are memories of me
(Better pray your soul to keep)
The truth behind your eyes
(You know the thing you never see)
Your darkest little lies
I'm coming for you!
[Chorus]
All the scars that never heal
All the wounds that will not seal
I will not forget the day
These memories never fall
[Chorus]
I've come to bring you hell

i love the lyrics of this
'The Last Song' by the All-American Rejects
This may be the last thing that i write for long
Can you hear me smiling when i sing this song, for you and only you
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye
As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye
My foot is out the door, and you can't stop me now
You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back
Now i'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow
I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know.
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when
I'm gone
This is the last song
The hearts start breaking as the year is gone
The dream's beginning and the time rolls on
It seems so surreal, now I sing it.
Somehow I knew that I would be this way,
Somehow I knew that I would slowly fade.
Now i'm gone, just try and stop me now.
And will you need me now, you'll find a way somehow
You want it too, I want it too.

beautiful acoustic song...no tabs anywhere..shame
Its been so long
Since I have seen you
And I miss your smile, and I miss your face
Because you have not been around this place
Its been so long
Since I have seen you
And I miss the smell of your skin and hair
The way you genuinely care for me
And I dont want these feelings to change
I want our love to always remain because
Without you I wouldnt be the same
Without you
And I cant explain, how I feel inside
Every time I try to tell you,
My words always fall short
Showing you what you mean to me
And I cant explain
How I feel inside
The way you mesmerized me,
And how you hypnotized me
With your eyes, with your eyes
And I dont want these feelings to change
I want our love to always remain, because
Without you I wouldnt be the same
So dont ever run away
Here beside me is where you will stay
Because without you I could not remain
Without you

Staying at home alone on a Friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it
I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
(get here)
Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking for
I'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
just staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one
I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?(2 times)
I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me
john mayer-love song for no one
Flat on the floor looking back

Jeff Buckley-Dream Brother
There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes bloom goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips another
Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane
I hear your words and I know your pain
Your head in your hands and her kiss on the lips of another
Your eyes to the ground
and the world spinning round forever
Asleep in the sand with the ocean washing over...
Or even the alternate lyrics in the Live @ Olympia version..
Asleep in the sand, with the ocean washing over,
Dead in the ground, with your family weeping over
There is a child sleeping near his twin
The pictures go wild in a rush of wind
That dark angel he is shuffling in
Watching over them with his black feather wings unfurled
The love you lost with her skin so fair
Is free with the wind in her butterscotch hair
Her green eyes bloom goodbyes
With her head in her hands
and your kiss on the lips another
Dream Brother with your tears scattered round the world.
Don't be like the one who made me so old
Don't be like the one who left behind his name
'Cause they're waiting for you like I waited for mine
And nobody ever came...
I feel afraid and I call your name
I love your voice and your dance insane

Dead in the ground, with your family weeping over

Enjoying a Moosey Fate...
100%... Change (in the house of flies) is the most amazingly done deftones song... it has the emotion of be quiet and drive (far away) with the ferociouness of My Own Summer (Shove It)...
Theres something about chino's singing that just makes my skin crawl... maybe it's the reality of what he sings about...

fuel - shimmer
she calls me from the cold
just when i was low
feeling short of stable
all that she intends
and all she keeps inside
isnt on the label
she says she's ashamed
can she take me for awhile?
can i be a friend?
we'll forget the past
or maybe i'm not able
and i break at the bend
we're here and now
will we ever be again?
cos i have found
that all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
away again
she dreams a champagne dream
strawberry surprise
pink linen and white paper
lavender and cream
fields of butterflies
reality escapes her
she says that love
is for fools that fall behind
i'm somewhere between
you never really know
a killer from a saviour
till i break at the bend
here and now
will we ever be again?
cos i have found
that all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade
away again
its too far away for me to hold
its too far away
guess i'll let it go

saddest song ive ever heard
radiohead - thinking about you
been thinking about you
your records are here
your eyes are on my wall
your teeth are over there
but i'm still no one, and you're now a star what do you care?
been thinking about you, and there's no rest
should i still love you still
see you in bed but i'm playing with myself
and what do you care when the other men are far far better
all the things you got
all the things you need
who bought your cigarettes?
who bribed the company to come and see you, honey?
i've been thinking about you
so how can you sleep?
these people aren't your friends
they're paid to kiss your feet
they don't know what i know
and why should you care when i'm not there?
been thinking about you, and there's no rest
should i still love you still
see you in bed but i'm playing with myself
and what do you care when i'm not there
all the things you got
that you'll never need
all the things you got
i bled and i'll bleed to please you

this is the most disturbing song ive ever heard, not only just because of the lyrics, but because of the way the song is sung. its so happy and cheerful, and there is even a verse where he half-laughs out the lyrics
the beatles - maxwell's silver hammer
Joan was quizzical, studied metaphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures
Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door...
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo..."
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
B.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-oo
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead

Your BOdy is Wonderland- John Mayer ~~
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you
One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue
'Cause if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it
you want love?
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland
We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain

I'd argue that 'When I'm 64' is more disturbing. (It just annoys me, whereas 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' is goofy and/or endearing.)
But seriously folks, for something really scary.
Toby Keith-Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue (The Angry American)
American girls and American guys will always stand up and salute;
Will always recognize
When we see ol' glory flying,
There's a lot of men dead,
So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head.
My daddy served in the army,
Where he lost his right eye.
But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died.
He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me
To grow up and live happy in the land of the free.
Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack.
A mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back.
Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye,
Man we lit up your world like the Fourth of July.
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly,
And there's gonna be Hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell!
It's gonna feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you...
Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!
Oh, Justice will be served and the battle will rage.
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
You'll be sorry that you messed with the US of A
'Cuz we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way.
Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list,
And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist.
And the eagle will fly,
And there's gonna be Hell,
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell!
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you...

Of the Red, White and Blue..
Of my Red, White and Blue...
The fact that it's a real song make its so much more disturbing.
