What lyrics are you listening to now? (pt2)

[Upchuck]

I've walked these streets
A virtual stage
It seemed to me
Make up on their faces
Actors took their
Places next to me

I've walked these streets
In a carnival
Of sights to see
All the cheap thrill seekers
The vendors & the dealers
They crowded around me

Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Inside myself and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?

I've walked these streets
In a spectacle of wealth & poverty
In the diamond market
The scarlet welcome carpet
That they just rolled out for me

I've walked these streets
In the mad house asylum
They can be
Where a wild eyed misfit prophet
On a traffic island stopped
And he raved of saving me

Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Inside myself and
My own mind
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have seen?

Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
To shut my eyes
And play along
Hypnotized
Paralyzed
By what my eyes have found
By what my eyes have seen
What they have seen?

Have I been blind
Have I been lost
Have I been wrong
Have I been wise
Have I been strong
Have I been
Hypnotized
Mesmerized
By what my eyes have found
In that great street carnival
In that carnival?

 

[stupid dogbot]

Think fast or you'll never survive.
You feel the whiplash if all the cities divide.

Make heroes that could barely exist.
I'm running from your mouth and the hammer and fist.
Lead the way, I got a brain to resist and define.

All I know is I threw myself into the wind, felt my body begin to curl.
Maybe in the next life or maybe in another world...
It's impossible to figure out 'cause everything's subliminal.
Maybe in the next life, I'll be a hero, not a criminal.

A new world on the tip of my tongue;
It doesn't break down or admit when it's wrong.
A day breaks and the cities divide.

My body just can't help feeling incomplete and unknown,
A new ghost in an old home, parallel and paralyzed.

And now that everything's a drag I'm no longer nervous, I don't feel no pain.
And when I die before my time, please say my body gave up before my mind.

Another city divides, parallel and paralyzed.

Past lives and other worlds.

When the sick sets through everyone and everything you knew,
you can't help feeling completely alone..

 

[rollinder]

In these times of contention it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past

I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe in I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in

When I poison my system I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colours that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going if to end or begin

I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

I've fallen from favour while trying to savour experience
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line

I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
I believe in my Mum and my Dad
And I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling I just want them to last

I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe I'm going to be late
So I'll be leavin'
What I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

 

[flutterbye]

In the night time when the world is at it's rest.
You will find me. In the place I know the best.
Dancin' shoutin'. Flying to the moon.
Don't have to worry. 'Cause I'll be come back soon.

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand.
Design our own world ain't nobody understand.
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand.
As long as we are flyin' all this world is ain't got no end.
All this world ain't got no end.

In the daytime you will find me by your side.
Trying to do my best. Trying to make things right.
When it all turns wrong. There is no flow but mine.
But it won't hit hard. You let me shine.

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand.
Design a own world ain't nobody understand.
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand.
As long as we are flying all this world is ain't got no end. All this world is got no end.

And we build up castles in the sky and in the sand.
Design a own world ain't nobody understand.
I found myself alive in the palm of your hand.
As long as we are flying all this world is ain't got no end. All this world is got no end.

 

[holteman]

If not for you, babe, I couldn't find the door
Couldn't even see the floor
I'd be sad and blue if not for you.

If not for you, baby, I'd lay awake all night
Wait for the morning light
To shine in through
But it will not be new if not for you.

If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
I'd be lost if not for you
And you know it's true.

If not for you, my sky would fall, rain would gather too
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all
Oh what would I do if not for you ?

If not for you, winter would have no spring
I couldn't hear the robins sing
I just wouldn't have a clue
Anyway it wouldn't ring true if not for you
If not for you, if not for you.

 

[5t3IIa]

This is one of the very few songs I can sing along in tune too. Listened to it for first time in years recently and it gave me a rush

She looked me over
And I guess she thought
I was all right
All right in a sort of a limited way
For an off-night
She said don't I know you
From the cinematographer's party
I said who am I
To blow against the wind

I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

She said there's something about you
That really reminds me of money
She is the kind of a girl
Who could say things that
Weren't that funny
I said what does that mean
I really remind you of money
She said who am I
To blow against the wind

I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

She moved so easily
All I could think of was sunlight
I said aren't you the women
Who was recently given a Fulbright
She said don't I know you
From the cinematographer's party
I said who am I
To blow against the wind

I know what I know
I'll sing what I said
We come and we go
That's a thing that I keep
In the back of my head

 

[stupid dogbot]

We rode like ghosts across the earth
We woke on Spanish clouds of dirt

But if they only knew
The places we'd been to
Into the desert night I ride
My brother by my side

Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone

We left our families for dead
The kids still sleeping in their beds
The sea swearing as it grew
The wind confessing as it blew

But if they only knew
The places we'd been to
Into the desert night I ride
My brother by my side

Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone

Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone
Mi hermano la pistola
But tomorrow we'll be gone

 

[rollinder]

Who needs remote control
From the Civic Hall
Push a button
Activate
You got to work and you're late

It's so grey in London town
With a panda car crawling around
Here it comes
Eleven o'clock
Where can we go now?

Can't make a noise
Can't get no gear
Can't make no money
Can't get out of here

Big business, it don't like you
It don't like the things you do
You got no money
So you got no power
They think you're useless
And so you are - punk!

They had a meeting in Mayfair
They got you down and
They want to keep you there
It makes them worried
Their bank accounts
That's all that matters
And you don't count

Can't make no progress
Can't get ahead
Can't stop the regress
Don't want to be dead

Look out for those rules and regulations

Who needs the Parliament
Sitting making laws all day
They're all fat and old
Queuing for the House of Lords

Repression, going to start on Tuesday
Repression, going to be a Dalek
Repression, I am a robot
Repression, I obey

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

Come closer (what’s your number?)
I’m over here (I’m glad I came)
A little closer (can you take my order?)

#1
I keep hearing your concerns about my happiness
All the thoughts you've given me is conscious I guess
Is I was walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none
You and your friends don't worry about
I'm having lots of fun

#2
God is great beer is good and people are crazy

#3
Won't stop shaking up what I can
I serve it up in a shot
So take it down like a man

 

[pengaleng]

a song for mr cameron.

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you preach
Screw my brain till it hurts
You've taken all my money
And you want more
Misguided old mule with your pig headed rules
With your narrow minded cronies
Who are fools of the first division
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart of your own
Kill joy bad guy big talking small fry
You're just an old barrow boy
Have you found a new toy to replace me?
Can you face me?
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good are you satisfied?
Do you feel like suicide?
(I think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Does it plague you at night?
Do you feel good feel good?

You talk like a big business tycoon
You're just a hot air balloon
So no one gives you a damn
You're just an overgrown schoolboy
Let me tan your hide
A dog with disease
You're the king of the sleaze
Put your money where your mouth is
Mister know-all
Was the fin on your back
Part of the deal? (shark)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs
You've never had a heart (you never did) of your own
(right from the start)
Insane you should be put inside
You're a sewer rat decaying in a cesspool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Then make yourself null and void
Make me feel good I feel good

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Hey porter! Hey porter!
Would you tell me the time?
How much longer will it be till we cross
that Mason Dixon Line?
At daylight would ya tell that engineer
to slow it down?
Or better still, just stop the train,
Cause I wanna look around.

Hey porter! Hey porter!
What time did ya say?
How much longer will it be till I can
see the light of day?
When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer
to ring his bell?
And ask everybody that ain't asleep
to stand right up and yell.

Hey porter! Hey porter!
It's getting light outside.
This old train is puffin' smoke,
and I have to strain my eyes.
But ask that engineer if he will
blow his whistle please.
Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves
and I feel that Southern breeze.

Hey porter! Hey porter!
Please get my bags for me.
I need nobody to tell me now
that we're in Tennessee.
Go tell that engineer to make that
lonesome whistle scream,
We're not so far from home
so take it easy on the steam.

Hey porter! Hey porter!
Please open up the door.
When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first
Cause I can't wait no more.
Tell that engineer I said thanks alot,
and I didn't mind the fare.
I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil
and breathe that Southern air.

[Unknown Singer]
ohh ma, ma, ma, ma
wow, wow
I see chariots in the skies, (skies)
men & Earth look surprised,
as they flow across the sky..
ever see the light,
deep into the night,
of daily mars among the stars,
in that distant land,
strict as lies,
we took our time,
they chose such evil,
ohh ma, ma, ma, ma, ma,
low, low
the reasons why, we hear..
ohh ma, ma, ma, ma, ma
wow, wow,
the reasons why, we hear..

[Killah Priest]
4 grain worn, baptism of form, avoid the vast
my space avoids, again between the asteroids
for Atlanta upon the planet, lucky bandit, lost and stranded
I became a force that demanded, life force took flight
like one course of the night, search many source of life
light was, an overledge coming from the edge of the universe
it passed the moon, to the earth, then from the womb to nurse
With a slight remembrance, how I can from a distance
to an instinct, resistance was 5 senses
the quest from man repentance, while
others cry to exercise my third eye by hearing lullaby
then I magnify inside, became intelligent and wise
transform from the celestial, shot through a sexual
terristical, testicle vessel, small as a decimal where I nestle
nine months later, special delivery, the Killah P-R-I-E-S-T
from them pheotus to the cleavage, from atoms to adams
from atoms to adams, from atoms to adams

[Unknown Singer]
I see chariots in the skies, (skies)
men & earth look surprised
as they flow across the sky..
ever see the light,
deep into the night,
of daily mars among the stars,
in that distant land,

[Killah Priest]
So I begin, between, the media right, now walk like Christ
except I'm not sacrificed, by the righteous parasite
searching' for paradise, which is the birth-right
of a celestial Nazarite, with appetites to bite from the tree of life
smight, eadamite, sodomite, more bites, in the land of Kananights
following six flame a lights, burning over 1 million degrees fahrenhight
bright as, neon, beyond the satellites, flight takes me over cattle stocks
blocks of ice, I began to flock, flock, flock, flock across Mecca
with a rigid projector, seeking my scepter, looking, at, Rebecca
two sons, popping through Jerusalem like the hoodlum
Ahhh, ? enabled me to see the other galaxy, released Nora calories
back 8 author, writers and ologies, I'm the author and the writer
of a biography with god prophecies, and challenge Egyptology
philophosies and Greek mythologies
going through the gloss-arys of Socrates, with Pharisees
and Sagulties, going through geology with dreams I contact
the Hazmonian dynasty, clocks agree, one 68 BC
charge far from the Wu Killa Bee into the families of the Mackabees
I can see every species in 3D, have clear CD's
show um' my pilgrimage, I walked through the wilderness
I have the privilege the see the pyramids
which gave me the will to live, to roam through the villages
and heal the kids, walk across the bridge
strong as ? and voice echo like ? across the great Amazon
stretched out my hand like Yon
till they reach Babylon, behold the physic phenomenon
quiet storm, I wander out a horizon
from the top of holy mount Zion, holding a staff
and turn into a python, Killah Priest, a living icon
sitting in a form of a Pentagon, in the center of the Octagon
walking from ? to Saigon, to Lebanon to the walls of Hong Kong
recite the 23rd song, long gone, before the crack of dawn
dodging and weaving, through the Garden of Eden, without eating
speeding, bubbin, lobbing, we ? the nation

(as they flow across the sky..)

Those that were uncivilized were chastised
while the civilized were baptized
12 tribes began to rise like bees from the hive
causing seeds with they wives, starting apart
as the scribes carry the archives, follow the star guide
as we glide through the windows of the far side
across the dark sky, then over the ocean tides, the unidentified
flying, object, hovers the projects, scenery, gothic
sky can pass with darkness
as the thugs, transforming the prophets, the body, becomes, cosmic
as the floor becomes carpet, they rise from out the toxic
and the wasteland and the garbage
where faces are various shades of chocolate
dropping in nar-cotics, and the pork sausage
no longer held hostage

from atoms to adams..

(as they flow across the sky..)

from atoms to adams..

(as they flow across the sky..)

from atoms to adams..

(ever see the light, deep into the night,
of daily mars among the stars,
in that distant land...)

Won't you scratch my itch sweet annie rich
And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or i'll step into your parlor
And i'll show you how it all went down

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, and i remember something you once told me
And i'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

`cause i headed west to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And i saw my devil,
And i saw my deep blue sea
And i thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to tennessee

We flew straight across that river bridge,
Last night a half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
And so long as we went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now i know just what i have to do

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something
That i've never been shown

And i saw my devil,
And i saw my deep blue sea
And i thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to tennessee

The news i could bring i met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, but i remembered something you once told me
And i'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Twenty thousand roads i went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

 

[MightyAphrodite]

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

 

[stupid dogbot]

I changed the locks
But your key, your key's still working
Can't train a moth, I guess
Each beast gets her burden
So we circle this old flame
Too much at stake
But too late to change
My nerves are shot
My reserves are exhausted
It's a tired plot, but we bought it
Now we're lost
Bewteen love and cholera
Saccharine read...
Such a sentimental novel
Give you cavities
If it doesn't drive you to the bottle
As for me, I'll take another kerosene,
If you've got it something harder
Built like a moth you see
I still get chills when you talk to me
But the years pass by now
In twos and threes
These thrills ain't as cheap
As they used to be

If you're asking, I can't say no
Just one more chapter,
Our book won't close
And I know it's madness
To play these odds
It's like giving matches to paper,
To paper dolls

I know it's madness, I know

Tried sweet talk, tried dynamite
But I sleepwalk
Back to the battle site
Fight fire with fire
But the fire won't fight
We just fly these circles like tired kites
You flash some fang
And I bat my lashes
And we're back again,
Ne end to this game with matches
We've been lovers and strangers
And friends who get angry
Made mistakes and amends
And brief moments of magic
We forgive and forget
And give into attraction
This whole thing depends
On amnesia and magnets
I'd be leaving for good
I'd be looking for better
But I got this broken habit
I keep gluing back together
The fervor the fire the feathers
The fever defies measure
And good sense won't venture
Where the moth won't let it

If you're asking, I can't say no
Just one more chapter,
Our book won't close
And I know it's madness
To play these odds
It's like giving matches to paper,
To paper dolls

County road 233, under my feet
Nothin' on this white rock but little ol' me
I've got two miles till, he makes bail
And if I'm right we're headed straight for hell

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight, well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man?
I'm gonna show him what little girls are made of
Gunpowder and lead

Well it's half past ten, another six pack in
And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind
He pulls in the drive, gravel flies
He don't know what's waitin' here this time

Hey I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man?
I'm gonna show him what little girls are made of
Gunpowder and lead

His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger

I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slapped my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man?
I'm gonna show him what little girls are made of
Gunpowder and,
Gunpowder and lead

Gunpowder and lead, yeah

Hey!

 

[100% masahiko]

Pretty true - never stand still that is...

What's it like, to be back?

You see things in life
And you'd be surprised what you see
Life, your whole life, is changes
You go through changes in your life
One second - you've got it made
Next second you're down in the dumps
And it goes back and forth
Throughout your whole life
One second you've got the most beautiful girl in the world
Next second you don't even have a girlfriend no more
And it goes back and forth
And back and forth, you know?
And this is life man, it's changes
This is what you gotta go through throughout your whole lifetime

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

And it goes back and forth
And back and forth, you know?

Never...
Never...
Land...

Coheed and Cambria 'Delirium Trigger'

we're now up here alone
terror on the intercom
can someone save us
systems malfunction blast it this damn machine
over and out captain
something lurks creeps on the counter top
somewhere behind you
parasitic cyst i can't stand to watch
it's coming up and out of your chest

remember when we were young

sit up right on the table
a photograph of earth feeding me a way back
frightened i tear alone or maybe not
the the only one there

hello... hello when it rings will you answer?
there corner tall short stance it's you
come on kill me!!

you made a good friend to me
but while you were outnumbered and torn you made us do things

oh dear god, i don't feel alive
when you're cut short of misery
will you pray it be the end?
give a look surprised wide eyes to me
then you'll know just what i am
the scare that triggers your fear
come know me in a different light now,
come know me as god

you made a good friend to me
but while you were outnumbered and torn
you made us do things to you

run sand hourglass
its my time will i be worth?
spin 'round carousel
when your horse isn't screwed in

oh dear god, i don't feel alive
when you're cut short of misery (raise forth lost cause)
will you pray it be the end?
give a look surprised wide eyes to me (raise forth lost cause)
then you'll know just what i am (subtle demise the legitimate cry)
the scare that triggers your fear
come know me in a different light now
come know me as god (raise forth lost cause)

 

[Strumpet]

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.

And after a while, you can work on points for style.
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused.
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used.
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise.
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this
maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend.
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun,
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.

Who was born in a house full of pain.
Who was trained not to spit in the fan.
Who was told what to do by the man.
Who was broken by trained personnel.
Who was fitted with collar and chain.
Who was given a pat on the back.
Who was breaking away from the pack.
Who was only a stranger at home.
Who was ground down in the end.
Who was found dead on the phone.
Who was dragged down by the stone.

(is the first line Oi! or Boy! ? )

Down in the street there is violence
And a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I'm a warrior
Can't get food for them kid, good God

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Who is to blame in one country
Never can get to the one
Dealin' in multiplication
And they still can't feed everyone, oh no

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Out in the street...
Out in the street...
Out in the playground...
In the dark side of town...

We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
And then we'll take it higher

Rock it in the daytime
Rock it in the night ...

Old Crow Medicine Show are awesome....

Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord
Take away these chains from me
My heart is broken cause my spirits
Not free
Lord take away these chains from me

Some birds feathers are too bright to
Be caged
I know I'm not that colorful but a bird
Just the same
Open up your gate now, let me put
Down my load
So I can feel at ease and go back to my
Home



Sun beating down, my legs can't seem
To stand
There's a boss man at a turnrow with a
Rifle in his hand
I've got nine children, nothin in the pan
My wife she died hungry while I was
Plowin' Land



Can't see when I go to work, can't see
When I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost
Every year I just keep getting deeper in
Debt
If there's a happy day, Lord, I haven't
Seen one yet



Land that I love is the land that I'm
Workin
But it's hard to love it all the time when
Your back is a-hurting
Getting too old now to push this here
Plow
Please let me lay down so I can look at
The clouds



Land that I know is where two rivers
Collide
The Brazos The Navaso and the big blue
Sky
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon
Vines
Of any place on God's green earth, This
Is where I choose to die

Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day
Daddy don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum

SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL

Black car drives through the town, some guy from the top estate
Left a note for a local girl, and yet he had it all on a plate

SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL

Husband don't know what he's done
Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
She can't say, they can't see, putting it down to another bad day

SO THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE LONELY
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS TO BE SMALL
THIS IS HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR WORD MEANS NOTHING AT ALL

 

[Miss Caphat]

Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Neice and the isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children that might have made me complete)
I've been to paradise, never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise, never been to me

haven't thought about/heard that song in a loong time!

Sometimes I try to do things but it just doesn't work out the way I want it to, and I get real frustrated and then like I try hard to do it, and I like, take my time but it just doesn't work out the way I want it to. It's like, I concentrate on it real hard, but it just doesn't work out. And everything I do and everything I try, it never turns out. It's like, I need time to figure these things out, but there's always someone there going “hey mike, you know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately, you know? You need to maybe get away. And like, maybe you should talk about it, you'll feel a lot better.” And I'm all like “oh, nah, it's ok, you know. I'll figure it out. Just leave me alone, I'll figure it out, you know? I'm just working on it by myself.” And they go “well, you know, if you wanna talk about it, I'll be here, you know? And you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it. So why don't you talk about it?” I go “no, I don't want to! I'm ok. I'll figure it out myself!” But they just keep bugging me, they just keep bugging me, and it builds up inside.

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

I'm not crazy - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!
You're the one that's crazy - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!
You're driving me crazy - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!

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 in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything, but then again I was thinking about nothing. And then my mom came in, and I didn't even know she was there. She called 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 go “there's nothing wrong, mom.” Shes all “don't tell me that! 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!” I go “mom, I'm ok. I'm just thinking.” She goes “No! You're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't be acting that way!” I go “mom, just get me a Pepsi! Please, all I want is a Pepsi!” And she wouldn't give it to me! All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me! Just a Pepsi!

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves!
Tied around your 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 - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!
You're the one who's crazy - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!
You're driving me crazy - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!

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'm sitting in my room, when my mom and my dad came in. they pulled up a chair and they sat down. They go “mike, we need to talk to you.” And I go “ok, what's the matter?” They go “me and your mom, we've noticed that lately you've been having a lot of problems, and you've been going off for no reason, and we're afraid you're going to hurt somebody, and we're afraid you're going to 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 go “wait, what are you talking about, WE decided? MY best interests? How do you know what MY best interest is? 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 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 - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!
You're the one who's crazy - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!
You're driving me crazy - IN AN INSTITUTION!!!

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.

Doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyways.
