What lyrics are you listening to now?

[Firky]

LOVE that song, firky! Makes me sing loudly n dance around the room.

Sounds a bit odd when this comes on after. Therapy?

Hey little girl wanna go for a ride ?
Theres room and my wagon is parked right outside
We can cruise down rober street all night long
But I think Ill just rape you and kill you instead
Diane diane diane diane diane diane
I hear theres a party at lake cove
Its be much easier if I drove
We could check it out
We can go and see
Come on take a ride with me
Diane diane diane diane diane diane
Lay down together for a while
Ill put all your clothes in a nice neat little pile
Youre the cutest girl Ive ever seen in my life
But its over now and with my knife
Diane diane diane diane diane diane

 

[Dubversion]

Hey little girl wanna go for a ride ?
Theres room and my wagon is parked right outside
....Diane diane diane diane diane diane

Listening to any version of that song other than the original should be punishable by death

 

[Iam]

Innit.

 

[Iam]

We shuffled our faces
laughing like fish.
Really flip flappin'
We had not a wish.
You said, "Look, the ceiling's down,"
You said it five times
with that beautiful frown

Red leaves whirling
across my lawn

I see you weaving.
What dost thou sew?
You look at the floor.
You say, "I really don't know"

I asked my darlin'
why she talks so slow.
She said, "It's the mud above
and the stars below."

 

[Strumpet]

Ooh ooh so put your arms around me
You let me believe that you were someone else
Ooh ooh cause only time can take you
So let me believe
That I am someone else

Gillian Welch - Elvis Presley Blues

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
And put on a shirt his mother made and went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
And he shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler,
baby,
Like you never seen

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
How he took it all out of black and white
Grabbed his wand in the other hand and he held on tight
And he shook it like a hurricane
He shook it like to make it break
And he shook it like a holy roller, baby
With his soul at stake

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
He was all alone in a long decline
Thinking how happy John Henry was that he fell down and died
When he shook it and he rang like silver
He shook it and he shine like gold
He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul

He shook it and he beat that steam drill, baby
Well bless my soul, what's wrong with me?

I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
I was thinking that night about Elvis
Day that he died, day that he died
Just a country boy that combed his hair
Put on a shirt his mother made and he went on the air
And he shook it like a chorus girl
He shook it like a Harlem queen
He shook it like a midnight rambler, baby
Like he never seen

amazing lyrics, beautiful song

Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up
Change my pitch up, smack my bitch up

 

[Iam]

You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in a kiss
Somethin' I've missed
You burn away my disguise and galaxies fall
Because of this
Because of this
It hurt
God knows that it does
And when it hurts sometimes
You're there to quiet my mind
Because of this
Because of this
You pry open my eyes
I resist but you do
And when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this

Because of this

Oh and it hurts sometimes
Cause you're there to quiet my mind

You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in your kiss
Something I've missed
You burn away my disguise
And the heavens fall
Because of this
Because of this
And it hurts
God knows that it does
But when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this

 

[Firky]

Husker Du!!!!

and the Therapy? version is a disgrace

I kinda like it, I bought their album on the strength of it (I was only 16!) - it was red velvet IIRC. Shit album, like! I can't remember what teh original goes like, I'll have to have another listen after hte prodigy.

 

[Strumpet]

If you think of me If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart


If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting

 

[pengaleng]

I'm a simple man with a simple name
From this soil my people came
In this soil remain oh yeah oh yeah
He made us our shoes
And we trod soft on the land
But the immigrant built roads
On our blood and sand oh yeah

White man White man
Don't you see the light behind your blackened skies
White man White man
You took away the sight to blind my simple eyes
White man White man
Where you gonna hide from the hell you've made

Oh the red man knows wars
With his hands and his knives
On the Bible you swore
Fought your battle with lies oh yeah
Leave my body in shame
Leave my soul in disgrace
But by ev'ry god's name
Say a prayer for your race oh yeah

White man White man
Our country was green and all our rivers wide
White man White man
You came with a gun and soon our children died
White man White man
Don't you give a light for the blood you've shed?

White man White man
White man
White man White man
For you battled with lies
White man White man
Still lies
White man White man
Say you look around every skin and bone again

What is left of your dream?
Just the words on your stone
A man who learned how to teach
Then forgot how to learn
Oh yeah

Bonnie Prince Billy ~ 'One With The Birds'

Leave me alone, is all that I say
When I have nothing in me, to give away
A purple martin in her house, she hollers at me:
Why be inhuman?
Why be like me?

Like so many robins, like so many doves
Like so many lovebirds, with so many loves
Like the songs of the bobwhite
Without any words
When we are inhuman, we're one with the birds

At six in the morning, you rise from the pillow
Stand steaming above me; I slumber below
I'm one with the blanket, laying fragrant and loose
You're one with a whip-poor-will,
You're one with a goose

So tweet with me and widely spread
Your olive wings: embrace my head
Fly with me 'til we are dead
And one with the birds

Like so many seagulls
Like so many hawks
Like so many thrushes
And so many cocks
A swallow will tell you
Without using mis-leading, heart-rending words
When we are inhuman, we're one with the birds

When we hide our feelings we may as well fly away...

Just beautiful.

 

[cesare]

Got to go
Hope I didn't let you down
All the years I've played and fucked around

 

[fishfingerer]

Speak low when you speak, love
Our summer day withers away too soon, too soon
Speak low when you speak, love
Our moment is swift, like ships adrift, we're swept apart, too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark, lost in the dark too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go that tomorrow is near, tomorrow is here and always too soon
Time is so old and love so brief
Love is pure gold and time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends, everything ends too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me, speak love to me and soon

Swearing At Motorists ~ 'Borrowed Red Bike'

You should have seen me
Stumble 'round Thursday night
I went lookin' for you
But you were nowhere in sight...

So I had a few drinks
Down the street a few more
Got high in the bathroom
Then I hit the door...

Outside in the night,
August air, hard to breathe
On my borrowed red bike
I head the wrong way down the street...

And I don't know where you are
And I won't look no more
'Cos it just dawned on me
You're probably down at the shore...

 

[Iam]

put those wings in place and fly me to another day
snow on every corner and in my head
the phone booth cord hangs down
and i can't call you round
angels on every corner, a bar-room brawl
pour me another wine i don't have much time
i hear the train a-calling and i must go
looking in your eyes and i don't wanna fly
your morning hair hangs low i must go
smoke me country grass as these moments pass
if you have eyes then see me in your dreams
wake me when we're through i know a place for you
trace my steps home then kick over the traces
take me country grass as these moments pass

 

[Iam]

And when the dawn begins to creep
Sunlight finds you in a heap
And how you wish that you could sleep
Forget the lies that you've been told
You think you're settin' free your soul
But you're really gettin' old
You've dreamt of divin' in the sea
Your outstretched arms in front of me
And how you wished that you could breathe
In the grip of ecstasy
When the shadows follow me
And the night won't set me free
You wish someone could love you less
Longing for that one caress
I see you sink under Duress
And when you wanna kill it dead
You let it throttle you instead

 

[Strumpet]

Sometimes its hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And its too late
Its just too late to stay
Too late to stay

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go i`ll never find a better prize
(find a better prize)
Though youre miles and miles away
I see you every day I dont have to try
I just close my eyes, I close my eyes

Townes Van Zandt ~ To Live Is To Fly

We all got holes to fill
And them holes are all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm
Sometimes you dig your own

The choice is yours to make
Time is yours to take
Some dive into the sea
Some toil upon the stone

Well, to live's to fly
Low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eye

Stereolab ~ 'Peng! 33'

Curiosity was far greater than our fear
It felt so simple, so prodigious at the same time

Incredible things are happening in the world
Magical things are happening in this world

 

[dynamicbaddog]

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle -
I trample down all life in my wake
I eat it up and take the cake
I just avert my eyes to the pain
Of someone's loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
You'd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me there's no room for the future
With me there's no room with a view at all -
I am out of season all year 'round
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
Touch my heart and feel winter
Hold my hand and be doomed forever -

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me you'll have no escape
And at the same time there'll be nowhere to settle.
And if you're wondering by now who I am
Look no further than the mirror -
Because I am the Greed and Fear
And every ounce of Hate in you.

 

[spring-peeper]

I'm rolling thunder, pourin rain
I'm comin' on like a hurricane
White lightning's flashing across the sky
You're only young but you're gonna die

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's putting up a fight
i got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya, Satan get ya

CHORUS:
Hell's Bells
Yeah, Hell's Bells
You got me ringing Hell's Bells
My temperature's high, Hell's Bells

I'll give you that sensation up and down your spine
If you're into evil you're a friend of mine
See the white light flashing as I split the night
'Cause if good's on the left, then I'm stickin' to the right

I won't take no prisoners, won't spare no lives
Nobody's puttin' up a fight
Got my bell, I'm gonna take you to hell
I'm gonna get ya, Satan get you

CHORUS

yeow
Hell's Bells, satans comin to you
Hell's Bells, he's ringing them now
Hell's Bells, the temperature is high
Hell's Bells, across the sky
Hell's Bells, they're takin' you down
Hell's Bells, they're draggin' you under,
Hell's Bells, gonna split the night
Hell's Bells, that's no way to fight, yeah

Ow, ow, ow, ow
Yeah, that's it
hells bells

I can't be arsed to find and post lyrics, but I've had Strange Kind of Woman running round and round my head all day thanks to the Greatest Heavy Rock Vocalist thread

 

[Firky]

Just remember you’re my sunshine
When I’m with you I don’t feel any pain
Just remember that I love you
Even if I cannot be your man
I’m not leaving you forever
But I got business farther down the line
You got your troubles baby
I got mine

Hold on and together we will find
All the answers, all we need is time now

Just remember that I love you
When you got no one to hold your hand

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
Amd just forget the world...

 

[Flashman]

Ooh nobley born
Let the mind be not distracted
Though the road ahead is hard and long
And the journey seems about ending
Oh that which thou art
Let thy gaze be not deflected
Fix thy attention on the goal
And the light that shines so celestial

Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
From Alpha into Omega
Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
From Alpha into Omega

Pilgrim, take heart
There's a strange attraction giving strong acceleration
See the light, enter the light, become the light and shine
Like the star you know you are
Be ready for the storm
As confusion ushers in a time of chaos
But up out of turbulence
A better order surely will emerge
Synergy and harmony and wisdom will come, in time terrestrial

Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
From Alpha into Omega
Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
nowhere to hide nowhere to run
From Alpha into Omega

Pilgrim, take heart
There's a strange attraction giving strong acceleration
See the light, enter the light, become the light and shine
Like the star you know you are

And on across the Rubicon
So imminentise thy Eschaton unto Ragnarock or Nemeton
And beyond in the name of Adam Kadmon, you move on
Ego gone as one
Transformation to solarisation
Towards the final confrontation
Eschaton is thy Destination

Onward ever ever on
Onward ever ever on
Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run from Alpha into Omega
Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
Onward ever ever on Destination Eschaton
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run from Alpha into Omega

From Alpha into Omega

Utter nonsense but I love it.
