What lyrics are you listening to now? (pt2)

[pengaleng]

Tell you a little story and it won't take long,
'bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn.
The reason why I never could tell,
For that young man was always well.

He planted his corn in the month of June --
by July it was up to his eyes.
Come September, came a big frost
And all the young man's corn was lost.

His courtship had just begun,
..said, "Young man have you hoed some corn?"
"Well I tried and I tried and I tried in vain,
But I don't believe I raised one grain."

He went downtown to his neighbor's door
Where he had often been before,
Sayin' "pretty little miss will you marry me?
Little miss what will you say?"

Instrumental

Why do you come for me to wed?
Can't even make your own corn grain.
Single I am and will remain,
A lazy man I won't maintain.

He turned his back and walked away,
Sayin' "Little miss you'll rue the day;
You'll rue the day that you were born,
For givin' me the devil cause i wouldn't hoe corn

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find
A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen
Will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows, if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock 'n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cos you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside cos summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
Cos you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
I heard you say

So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late and she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
I heard you say

At least not today.

 

[atitlan]

Oh, my stars that fall like ashen memories amidst
The trees then burst like leper sunsets on the shore
In english town my sweetheart weeps, and how i
Would prefer to be counting sheep than fighting
In the war

Now lunatic and fire pistol deep into my brain
Once more into the breach, into the fray
Insane, i see the rough-house boys
Descend onto the green
The candle burns the hours that light the day

But now i am the undergrowth and still i would
Prefer to be leaving hell and travelling far away
In short, the village ignorants are plundering my town
It’s a savage heart that beats them on their way

So lunatic and fire your pistol deep into my brain
Once more into the breach, into the fray
Insane, i see the rough house-boys
Descend onto my green
The cande burns the hours that light the day

But safe in my uniform
In no other way
Cast out and destitute
Ridden once with violence
Now i decay

But long ago i had a friend, honey

And sound and fury was his game
With pure contempt for any picture , honey
Just dedication to the frame
No stomach for the fighting
No fear of cannon fire
So lunatic just fire your pistol there

 

[MightyAphrodite]

you were sweet enough to sing
oblivious to melody
red suitcase full of clothes
washed up on a shore of memoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[dynamicbaddog]

Things you told to me
They play back in my head
You showed me myself
In the words you said
And I could not believe you
Your qualities unique
And I was enchanted by the way
You spoke to the strangers on the street
In many ways you save me
And keep my head above water
You know your own mind so well
And won't surrender any quarter
Well if this is a dream
I'll keep my eyes wide shut forever
If this is a dream
I hope I'm in a coma
cos

[CHORUS]

You kill me
And then you bring me back to life
You cut me
With the sweetest knife
You kill me
And then you tell me why
My baby
The girl with the triple tone eyes

I know you've been through it
And that I do respect
But if you can't let it go
How can we connect
I realise this is strange love
But we should let it flow
And you don't need to say anything
Cos I already know
Don't it feel right dear
Now we're making eye contact
And yes it feels right here
I don't ever wanna go back
Well if this is a dream
I'll keep my eyes wide shut forever
If this is a dream
I hope I'm in a coma
cos

[CHORUS]
Well if this is a dream
I'll keep my eyes wide shut forever
If this is a dream
I hope I'm in a coma
cos

[CHORUS]

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Suddenly the night has grown colder.
The god of love preparing to depart.
Alexandra hoisted on his shoulder,
They slip between the sentries of the heart.

Upheld by the simplicities of pleasure,
They gain the light, they formlessly entwine;
And radiant beyond your widest measure
They fall among the voices and the wine.

It’s not a trick, your senses all deceiving,
A fitful dream, the morning will exhaust –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Do not stoop to strategies like this.

As someone long prepared for this to happen,
Go firmly to the window. Drink it in.
Exquisite music. Alexandra laughing.
Your firm commitments tangible again.

And you who had the honor of her evening,
And by the honor had your own restored –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving;
Alexandra leaving with her lord.

Even though she sleeps upon your satin;
Even though she wakes you with a kiss.
Do not say the moment was imagined;
Do not stoop to strategies like this.

As someone long prepared for the occasion;
In full command of every plan you wrecked –
Do not choose a coward’s explanation
that hides behind the cause and the effect.

And you who were bewildered by her meaning;
Whose code was broken, crucifix uncrossed –
Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

Say goodbye to Alexandra leaving.
Then say goodbye to Alexandra lost.

 

[MightyAphrodite]

When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face?
Will you cower in fear?
In your favourite sweater
With an old love letter

You know you could
I wish you would

Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
They're all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

When you're walking down town
Do you wish I was there?
Do you wish it was me?
With the windows clear
And the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine?

You know you could
I wish you would

Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would

I wish you'd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe you'll rest sometime
I wish I could
I wish I could
I wish I could

 

[baldrick]

[this little song is for Fred: it's G, C, D, and D minor]
It's been a hard time
and when it rains
it rains on me
the sky just opens
and when it rains
it pours
I walk alone
assaulted it seems
by tears from heaven
and darling I can't help
thinking those tears are yours
Our wild love came from above
and wilder still
is the wind that howls
like a voice that knows it's gone
cause darling you died
and well I cried
but I'll get by
salute our love
and send you a smile
and move on
So darling farewell
all will be well
and then all will be fine
the children will rise
strong and happy be sure
cause your love flows
and the corn still grows
and God only knows
we're only given
as much as the heart can endure
But I don't know why
but when it rains
it rains on me
the sky just opens
and when it rains
it pours
But I look up
and a rainbow appears
like a smile from heaven
and darling I can't
help thinking that smile
is yours

 

[MightyAphrodite]

Farewell Reel ^^^ is an ace song, i love that song baldrick

Kool Thing sittin' with a kiddie
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a little chance here
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so

Kool Thing let me play it with your radio
Move me, turn me on, baby-o
I'll be your slave
Give you a shave
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so

Yeah, tell'em about it,
hit'em where it hurts
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down
There’s something I gotta ask you.
I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?
Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don’t be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want to know that we can still be friends
Come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know
Kool, kool thing
Kool, kool thing

When you're a star, I know that you'll fix everything
Kool Thing sittin' with a kiddie
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Rock the beat just a little faster
Now I know you are the master
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so

Kool thing walkin' like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool thing walkin' like a panther
What’d he say?
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so

 

[MightyAphrodite]

one of my favourite songs ever, i straight up love this song.

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.
Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.

Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.
It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.
Well I've been where you're hanging, I think I can see how you're pinned:
When you're not feeling holy, your loneliness says that you've sinned.

Well they lay down beside me, I made my confession to them.
They touched both my eyes and I touched the dew on their hem.
If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.

When I left they were sleeping, I hope you run into them soon.
Don't turn on the lights, you can read their address by the moon.
And you won't make me jealous if I hear that they sweetened your night:
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right,
We weren't lovers like that and besides it would still be all right.

 

[dlx1]

I never wanted another
Come over to me and discover
How I want to be near you
And you need to be far away
You always seem to make me feel at home
Hey you

People like
I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever live and die

I look at all of the people
Doing it over and over
You never get any older
I wish that you could be here
I look at you and I
Make the same mistakes
Hey you

People like
I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever Live and Die

I never know, I never know, I never know why
You make me wanna cry
I never know, I never know, I never know why
Forever Live and Die

Repeat to fade

What's He Building?

What's He Building In There?
What The Hell Is He Building
In There?
He Has Subscriptions To Those
Magazines... He Never
Waves When He Goes By
He's Hiding Something From
The Rest Of Us... He's All
To Himself... I Think I Know
Why... He Took Down The
Tire Swing From The Peppertree
He Has No Children Of His
Own You See... He Has No Dog
And He Has No Friends And
His Lawn Is Dying... And
What About All Those Packages
He Sends. What's He Building In There?
With That Hook Light
On The Stairs. What's He Building
In There... I'll Tell You One Thing
He's Not Building A Playhouse For
The Children What's He Building
In There?

Now What's That Sound From Under The Door?
He's Pounding Nails Into A
Hardwood Floor... And I
Swear To God I Heard Someone
Moaning Low... And I Keep
Seeing The Blue Light Of A
T.V. Show...
He Has A Router
And A Table Saw... And You
Won't Believe What Mr. Sticha Saw
There's Poison Underneath The Sink
Of Course... But There's Also
Enough Formaldehyde To Choke
A Horse... What's He Building
In There. What The Hell Is He
Building In There? I Heard He
Has An Ex-Wife In Some Place
Called Mayors Income, Tennessee
And He Used To Have A
Consulting Business In Indonesia...
But What Is He Building In There?
What The Hell Is Building In There?

He Has No Friends
But He Gets A Lot Of Mail
I'll Bet He Spent A Little
Time In Jail...
I Heard He Was Up On The
Roof Last Night
Signaling With A Flashlight
And What's That Tune He's
Always Whistling...
What's He Building In There?
What's He Building In There?

We Have A Right To Know...

"two bad mice

two bad mice

[5t3IIa]

wanna lock Betty Crocker in the kitchen
And knock her upper during supper
Clutter up her butter gutter
Hostess Ding Dong wrapped an eggroll around my wong
While Dolly Madison proceded to ping my pong
Your Milky Way is M'n'M in your britches
And I'll tell you Baby Ruth it looks mighty delicious
Keep blowing my gum, cuz here I come
I'm gonna get you all sticky with my Bubble Yum

Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a bone, baby

I was givin' some head to some french bread
It was a four course orgy on the spread of my bed
French kissin' french fries in my Fruit of the Looms
I get deeper penetration with a fork and a spoon

I got yogurt meat loaf smeared all over my ass
I stick my weiner in two buns and and then give it the gas
Sour cream from my spleen into Levi jeans
Gonna bust the seams with my refried beans

Ronald McDonald just loves to be fondled
With Big Mac he'll fuck it like a Chicken McNugget
Colonel Sanders wants to goose Granny's loose caboose
He's gonna give her a boost with that Kentucky fried juice
Sooper doop poop scoop, loop de loop, chicken coop
Shoot some hoop, top sirloin from the groin
Topped with dick cheese, sneeze, wheeze,
From the skeez disease, wooi!

Take a dump, baby, squirt some gravy
Pour some sugar on me, honey, make it brown & runny
Give a little Flavor Flav, back from the grave
Gonna burn some toast, pump some humpin' rump roast

Knick knack paddywhack, jump in the sack, in fact
Jerk the smack and crack Jack from the back
Bananarama or ramabanana
Fuckin' Barry Manilow on the Copa Cabana

Squeeze me macaroni, slop your face with my bologna

You gotta syphon the spinach, you gotta cream the corn
Sperm scrambles the eggs and a meal is born
Cookin' like a beginner, but I'm goin' up in her
I had Fritos for lunch I'm havin' bush for dinner
Chef Boyardee and the Three Muskateers
Shove Charleston Chews in their rears like queers
"Holy moly, guacamole!" said my Chips Ahoy
I'm gonna pinch a ravioli on the Pillsbury dough...Tall man

Knick knack paddywhack and give your dog a boner, baby

We came to party...we came to party down the groove

 

[Roadkill]

Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constant in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me Ill be in the bar

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
And your face sketched on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Im frightened by the devil
And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feet
And still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
Color go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed
Oh but you are in my blood youre my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feet
Id still be on my feet

(Joni Mitchell)

 

[Roadkill]

More Joni, this one rather apt...

I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
I think of rain, I think of roses blue
I think of rose, my heart begins to tremble
To see the place she's lately gotten to
Gotten to, gotten to

She's gotten to mysterious devotions
She's gotten to the zodiac and Zen
She's gotten into tarot cards and potions
She's laying her religion on her friends
On her friends, on her friends

Friends who come to ask her for their future
Friends who come to find they cant be friends
Because of signs and seasons that don't suit her
She'll prophesy your death, she won't say when
Won't say when, won't say when

When all the black cards come you cannot barter
No, when all your stars are stacked you cannot win
She'll shake her head and treat you like a martyr
It is her blackest spell she puts you in
Puts you in, puts you in

In sorrow she can lure you where she wants you
Inside your own self-pity there you swim
In sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you
And only with your laughter can you win
Can you win, can you win

You win the lasting laurels with your laughter
It reaches like an arm before you sink
To win the solitary truth you're after
You dare not ask the priestess how to think
How to think, how to think

I think of tears, I think of rain on shingles
I think of rain, I think of roses blue
I think of rose, my heart begins to tremble
To see the place she's lately gotten to
Gotten to, gotten to

 

[_pH_]

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected
To the right line
We'll be together
And nobody never
Gonna disconnect us
Or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to
Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook

 

[_pH_]

Go ahead with your dreaming
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kicking up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring

Go ahead with your scheming
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cooking up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheating

The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory the dawn chorus
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds...

 

[_pH_]

One rule for us, for you another
Do unto yourself as you see fit for your brother
Is that not within your realm of understanding?
A fifty second capacity of mind, too demanding?

Well then poor unfortunate you
There are a myriad of things that you can do
Like pick up a pen and paper or go talk to a friend
The history of the future
No violence or revenge

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

We all have the ability
Our freedom is fragile
We all laugh and we cry don't we?
We all bleed and we smile

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, you're not to sacrifice the art of love

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
You are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
God only knows, the infinite complexities of love

Your shame is never...ending
Just one psychological drama after another
We are guilty and how you ever entered into this life
The Lord only knows, the ultimate necessity of love

 

[Strumpet]

How can you just walk away from me....when all i can do is watch you leave.....

Fiyero!
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen

Let his flesh not be torn
Let his blood leave no stain
Though they beat him
Let him feel no pain
Let his bones never break
And however they try
To destroy him
Let him never die:
Let him never die:

Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen
Ah tum ah tum eleka: eleka:

What good is this chanting?
I don't even know what I'm reading!
I don't even know which trick I ought to try
Fiyero, where are you?
Already dead, or bleeding?
One more disaster I can add to my
Generous supply?

No good deed goes unpunished
No act of charity goes unresented
No good deed goes unpunished
That's my new creed
My road of good intentions
Led where such roads always lead
No good deed
Goes unpunished!

Nessa
Doctor Dillamond
Fiyero
Fiyero!!

One question haunts and hurts
Too much, too much to mention:
Was I really seeking good
Or just seeking attention?
Is that all good deeds are
When looked at with an ice-cold eye?
If that's all good deeds are
Maybe that's the reason why

No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well -
Well, look at what well-meant did:
All right, enough - so be it
So be it, then:
Let all Oz be agreed
I'm wicked through and through
Since I can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed
Will I attempt to do again
Ever again
No good deed
Will I do again!

As the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming
Nobody's coming
As the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming

The call came in
Lorraine shot down
Her husband pulled the trigger
And then he blew his brains out
At the other end
The police took a call
They didn't believe
That he was dead at all
So they wouldn't help her
And she knew

It had been 20 years
Since they fell in love
He's brought a lot of pain
But now he's brought a lot of blood
And he's taken more
Than his share

We can't lose a life
The police chief said
There's an armed man in there
Who'd be better off dead
As lorraine bled from the legs

And as the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming
Nobody's coming
As the blood flowed lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming

Speak to me now
But all she could say
Was, I don't want to die like this
So they said they're on their way
But they never heard
That she was lorraine
So they didn't let her die
With even her name
As she left us all in pain

And as the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming
Nobody's coming
As the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming

Dirty Davey's down the front and he's met the coppers there
They'll be taking you in cos they hate your skin
And he's dragged away by the hair

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

Well Davey's out on two weeks bail and he's down the town to score
When it all falls in and he's pinned by the chin
And they'vve rusted every floor

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

Davey's down the old grey squat
And he's lying with his lass
When there's a brick through the pane
ANd he's out on the lane
With the bailiffs and the glass

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

The court comes up on Monday morning and Davey's in the dock
He can't stop his tears when he gets two years
And you can't turn back the clock

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

Well Davey's had it up to here
Banging his head on the wall
So he tied his pants to the prison bars
And he's hung till he's clear of it all

It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law

There's a law for the rich and a law for the poor
And a law for Dirty Davey
His body's gone but his soul lives on
Here's to you Dirty Davey
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law

[tufty79]

And if one day i should become
A singer with a spanish bum
Who sings for women of great virtue
I'd sing to them with a guitar
I borrowed from a coffee bar
Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
My name would be antonio
And all my bridges i would burn
And when i gave them some they'd know
I'd expect something in return
I'd have to get drunk every night
And talk about virility
With some old grandmother
That might be decked out like a christmas tree
And no pink elephant i'd see
Though i'd be drunk as i could be
Still i would sing my song to me
About the time they called me "jacky"

If i could be for only an hour
If i could be for an hour every day
If i could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

And if i joined the social whirl
Became procurer of young girls
Then i could have my own bordellos
My record would be number one
And i'd sell records by the ton
All sung by many other fellows
My name would then be handsome jack
And i'd sell boats of opium
Whisky that came from twickenham
Authentic queens
And phoney virgins
I'd have a bank on every finger
A finger in every country
And every country ruled by me
I'd still know where i'd want to be
Locked up inside my opium den
Surrounded by some china men
I'd sing the song that i sang then
About the time they called me "jacky"

If i could be for only an hour
If i could be for an hour every day
If i could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

Now, tell me, wouldn't it be nice
That if one day in paradise
I'd sing for all the ladies up there
And they would sing along with me
And we be so happy there to be
'cos down below is really nowhere
My name would then be "jupiter"
Then i would know where i was going
Become all knowing
My beard so very long and flowing
If i could play deaf, dumb and blind
Because i pitied all mankind
And broke my heart to make things right
I know that every single night
When my angelic work was through
The angels and the devil too
Could sing my childhood song to me
About the time they called me "jacky"

If i could be for only an hour
If i could be for an hour every day
If i could be for just one little hour
Cute in a stupid ass way

 

[Daniel]

Heartbreaks and promises, I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love and getting nowhere, nowhere
What I need is somebody who really cares
I really need a lover, a lover who wants to be there
It's been so long since I touched a wanting hand
I can't put my love on the line, that I hope you'll understand

So baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words are so easy to say, oh ah yeah
You've got to show me love

I'm tired of getting caught up in those one night affairs
What I really need is somebody who will always be there
Don't you promise me the world, all that I've already heard
This time around for me baby, actions speak louder than words

So if you're looking for devotion, talk to me
Come with your heart in your hands
Because me love is guaranteed

So baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words are so easy to say, oh ah yeah
You've got to show me love

Show me, show me baby
Show me, show me baby
Show me, show me baby
Show me, show me baby

Heartbreaks and promises, I've had more than my share
I'm tired of giving my love and getting nowhere, nowhere
What I really need is somebody who will always be there
This time around for me baby, actions speak louder than words

If you're looking for devotion, talk to me
Come with your heart in your hands
Because me love is guaranteed

So baby if you want me
You've got to show me love
Words are so easy to say, oh ah yeah
You've got to show me love

You've got to show me love
There's only one key to my heart
You've got to show me love

Show me, show me baby

(cowboy junkies version)

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand,
Jack is in his corset, and Jane
is in her vest, and, me,
I'm in a rock'n'roll band. Huh!
Ridin' in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
Y'know, those were different times!
Oh, all the poet, they studied rules of verse,
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes.
Sweet Jane! Whoa! Sweet Jane, oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
I'll tell you something,
Jack, he is a banker,
And Jane, she is a clerk.
Both of them save their monies, ha,
And when, when they come home from work!
Ooh! Sittin' down by the fire, oh!
The radio does play,
The classical music there, Jim.
"The March of the Wooden Soldiers".
All you protest kids.
You can hear Jack say, get ready, ah,
Sweet Jane! Come on baby! Sweet
Jane! Oh-oh-a! Sweet Jane!
Some people, they like to go out dancing,
And other peoples, they have to
work. Just watch me now!
And there's even some evil mothers,
Well they're gonna tell you that
everything is just dirt.
Y'know that, women, never really faint,
And that villains always blink their eyes, woo!
And that, y'know, children are
the only ones who blush!
And that, life is, just to die!
And, everyone who ever had a heart, oh,
That wouldn't turn around and break it.
And anyone who ever played a part, whoa,
And wouldn't turn around and hate it!
Sweet Jane! Whoa-oh-oh! Sweet Jane!
Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane.
Sweet Jane. Sweet Jane.

 

[Roadkill]

Six in the morning don’t want to wake
Sun laying low and the world sleeping late
Hate like the river runs heavy and deep
Oh I wish that they’d sack me and leave me to sleep

Five days from seven the week’s hardly mine
The alarm clock’s gone over to enemy lines
Waste my time working for cowards and creeps
Oh I wish that they’d sack me and leave me to sleep

Rain strikes the window heralds the day
Rain won’t you wash these eight hours away?
Rain feeds the river runs heavy and deep
Oh I wish that they’d sack me and leave me to sleep

Birds on the windowsill sing in the dawn
By the time that I’m home all this day will be gone
Spend my life sowing what others will reap
Oh I wish that they’d sack me and leave me to sleep

Rain strikes the window heralds the day
Rain won’t you wash these eight hours away?
Rain feeds the river runs heavy and deep
Oh I wish that they’d sack me and leave me to sleep.

 

[tufty79]

Mama, we all go to hell.
Mama, we all go to hell.
I'm writing this letter and wishing you well,
Mama, we all go to hell.

Oh, well, now,
Mama, we're all gonna die.
Mama, we're all gonna die.
Stop asking me questions, I'd hate to see you cry,
Mama, we're all gonna die.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you go.
And when you go don't return to me my love.

Mama, we're all full of lies.
Mama, we're meant for the flies.
And right now they're building a coffin your size,
Mama, we're all full of lies.

Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue,
You should've raised a baby girl,
I should've been a better son.
If you could coddle the infection
They can amputate at once.
You should've been,
I could have been a better son.

And when we go don't blame us, yeah.
We'll let the fires just bathe us, yeah.
You made us, oh, so famous.
We'll never let you go.

She said: "You ain't no son of mine
For what you've done they're gonna find
A place for you
And just you mind your manners when you go.
And when you go, don't return to me, my love."
That's right.

Mama, we all go to hell.
Mama, we all go to hell.
It's really quite pleasant
Except for the smell,
Mama, we all go to hell.

2 - 3 - 4
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ohhh!
Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma...

[Liza Minelli:]</i> And if you would call me your sweetheart,
I'd maybe then sing you a song

[Gerard Way:]</i> But there's shit that I've done with this fuck of a gun,
You would cry out your eyes all along.

We're damned after all.
Through fortune and flame we fall.
And if you can stay then I'll show you the way,
To return from the ashes you crawl.

We all carry on (We all carry on)
When our brothers in arms are gone (When our brothers in arms are gone)
So raise your glass high
For tomorrow we die,
And return from the ashes you crawl.

I was watching scrubs last night and this song was on it: its fucking ace! Lazlo Bane, 'overkill'.


I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night from overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Come back another day

I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications

Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
