[Dog--]

Just post the name of the song, the artist(s), and the lyrics that you like from that song, I'll start.

The Spirit of Radio - Rush

"One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity"

Iron Maiden - Wasted Years

"So understand
Don't waste your time always
Searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years"

I love the music I listen to.

 

[Polaris]

Pink Floyd - Us and Them
"Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's noz what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it's only round and round.
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun"

David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
"I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now"

Truly ingenious musicians.

 

[Darkside55]

Dale Shacker - Saber Rider

Can you feel the thunder inside?
Make the lightning crack as you ride

Your destiny will lead you
to where the people need you
Though danger may have found you
you have your friends around you now

One of the most epic songs written by man.

 

[soulslicer]

RATM. ROF. Best lyrics ever..

Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then the renaissance came, the times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X
They were renegades of their time and age
The mighty Renegades

From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations

Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon!

How can you beat this? How??

Soulja Boy - Crank That

Soulja Boy Off In This Hoe
Watch me Lean And Watch Me Rock?
Super Man Dat Hoe
Then Watch me Crank Dat Robocop?
Super Fresh, Now Watch Me Jock
Jocking On Them Haterz Man

I Lean To The Left And Crank Dat Dance

Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

Lateralus by Tool

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
Lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
Drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

*glee*

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Here's some more Tool.

Tool - Vicarious

Eye on the TV
'cause tragedy thrills me, whatever flavour
It happens to be like;
Killed by the husband
Drowned by the ocean
Shot by his own son
She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye
That's my kind of story
It's no fun 'til someone dies

Don't look at me like I am a monster
Frown out your one face, but with the other
Stare like a junkie
Into the TV
Stare like a zombie
While the mother
Holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky crying
Why, oh why?
'cause I need to watch things die
From a distance

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all need it too, don't lie

Why can't we just admit it?
Why can't we just admit it?

We won't give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
The writers of stories sold
We won't give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so
Why can't we just admit it?

Blood like rain come down
Drawn on grave and ground

Part vampire
Part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Stare at the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle

La, la, la, la, la, la, la-lie

Credulous at best your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
Pull your head on out
Your head believes it give a listen
Shouldn't have to say it all again
The universe is hostile, so impersonal
Devour to survive, so it is
So it's always been

We all feed on tragedy
It's like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I, live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I

Porcupine Tree - Lazarus

"My David don't you worry
This cold world is not for you
So rest your head upon me
I have strength to carry you"

Porcupine Tree - Normal

Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day

Wish I was old and a little sentimental
You gotta see the waves, not the wine bottle

Hits from the bong
Hits from the bong
Hits from the bong
Hits from the bong

Pick it
Pack it
Fire it up, come along
And take a hit from the bong
Put the blunt down
Just for a second
Don't get me wrong
It's not a new method
Inhale
Exhale
Just got an ounce in the mail
I like a blunt or a big fat cone
But my double-barrel bong
Is gettin' me stoned
I'm skill it
There's water inside don't spill it
It smells like shit on the carpet
Still it
Goes down smooth when I get a clean hit
Of the skunky, phunky, smelly green shit
Sing my song
Puff all night long
As I take hits from the bong
Hits from the bong y'all

Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?
Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?

Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?
Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?

Let's smoke that bowl
Hit the bong
And then take that finger off of that hole
Plug it
Unplug it
Don't strain
I love you Mary Jane
She never complains
When I hit Mary
With that flame
I light up the cherry
She's so good to me
When I pack a fresh bowl I clean the screen
Don't get me stirred up
The smoke, through the bubbling water
Is makin' it pure so I got ta
Take my hit and hold it
Just like Chong
I get the bowl and I reload it
Get my four-footer and bring it on
As I take hits from the bong

Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?
Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?

Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?
Hits from the bong
Can i get a....hit?

Hits from the bong

Modest Mouse - Heart Cooks Brain Lyrics

Slow walk
It's a land mine
It's a coal mine
It's a bad thought
On the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
I'm trying to get my head clear
i push things out through my mouth i get refilled through my ears
i'm on my way to god don't know or even care
my brain's the weak heart, and my heart's the long stairs
Inland from Vancouver shore
the ravens and the seagulls push each other inward and outward
inward and outward
in this place that i call home
my brain's the cliff, and my heart's the bitter buffalo
my heart's the bitter buffalo
we tore one down, and erected another there
the match of the century: absence versus thin air
on the way to god don't know
my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal
on this life that we call home
the years go fast and the days go so slow
the days go so slow

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I can't help but laugh a bit when I hear this song.

Queens of the Stone Age - I'm Designer

My generation's for sale, beats a steady job
How much have you got?
My generation don't trust no one
It's hard to blame
Not even ourselves
The thing that's real for us is fortune and fame
All the rest seems like work
It's just like diamonds
In shit

I'm high class I'm a whore
Actually both
Basically I'm a pro
We've all got our own style (of baggage)
Why hump it yourself?
You've made me an offer that I can refuse
(course either way I get screwed)
Counter proposal: I go home and jerk off

It's truly a lie. I counterfeit myself
It's truly a lie. I counterfeit myself
You don't own, you don't own, you don't own
You don't own what none can buy
You don't own, neither do I

High and mighty you say selling out is a sham
Is that the name of your book?
Push a silver spoon in your ass
No more holding us down
Dog, down mutt, nice mutt
You're insulted, You can't be bought or sold
Translation: offer too low
You don't know what you're worth
It isn't much
My piano is for sale
How many times must I sell myself before my pieces are gone?
I'm one of a kind
I'm designer

Never again will I repeat myself
Enough is never enough
Never again will I repeat myself

It used to be the plan was screwing the man
Now its have sex with a man after he buys you .com for sale at a low, low price

It's truly a lie, I counterfeit myself
Its truly a lie, I counterfeit myself
You don't own , you don't own, you don't own me
You don't own what none can buy
You don't own
Neither do I
Neither do I
Either
I'm designer

I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
Juicy burgers, greasy fries,
Turkey legs and raw fish eyes
Teenage girls, with ketchup too!
Get out of my way, or I'll eat you
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
I'm going to turn dining
back into eating
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!

A spicy carrot and coriander chili chowder
Crouton! Crouton! Crunchy friends in a liquid broth

Miso! Miso! Oriental prince in the land of soup!

For obvious reasons.

RATM. ROF. Best lyrics ever..



How can you beat this? How??

You prove your divinity more with every post, master, a truly epic song indeed.

Late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i feel an angel lift me up
and i open bloodshot eyes into fluorescent white
they flip the siren, hit the lights, close the doors and i am gone
now i lay here owing my life to a stranger
and i realize that empty words are not enough
i'm left here with the question of just
what have i to show except the promises i never kept?
i lie here shaking on this bed, under the weight of my regrets
i hope that i will never let you down
i know that this can be more than just flashing lights and sound
look around and you'll see that at times it feels like no one really cares
it gets me down but i'm still gonna try to do what's right, i know that there's
a difference between sleight of hand, and giving everything you have
there's a line drawn in the sand, i'm working up the will to cross it
rhetoric can't raise the dead
i'm sick of always talking when there's no change
i'm sick of empty words, let's lead and not follow
late night, brakes lock, hear the tires squeal
red light, can't stop so i spin the wheel
my world goes black before i feel an angel steal me from the
greedy jaws of death and chance, and pull me in with steady hands
they've given me a second chance, the artist in the ambulance
can we pick you off the ground, more than flashing lights and sound

've got a rubber in my wallet.
One of those little whatchamacallit's.
I'm savin' it for that special day.
When the right girl comes my way.

It leaves a circular impression
From all those years of compression.
I've had it since I turned thirteen.
I got it in a vend'n machine.

[Chorus]
Circ circ circular impression!
Leading to a state of depression!
In my walla walla walla walla wallet!
I can't wait to install it!

No! I can't wait!

It's in a little tinfoil packet.
Sometimes I'm tempted to unwrap it.
It's got a reinforced border.
I hope it's still in working order.

"Be Prepared" they said in Boy Scouts.
I'm waiting for a chance to try it out.
I want to try this contraceptive.
But all the girls are unreceptive.

[Chorus]

I've got a French safe in my pocket.
It'll be the nose-cone on my rocket.
It comes direct from Paris, France.
Can't wait to take it from my pants.
Huhuh!

[Chorus]

Another Tool... or two

Parabol:

So familiar and overwhelmingly warm
This one, this form I hold now.

Embracing you, this reality here,
This one, this form I hold now, so
Wiide eyed and hoopeful.

Wiide eyed and hoopefully wild.
We barely remember what came before this precious moment,
Choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This body holding me, reminding me that I am not alone in
This body makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illuuuusion.

Parabola:

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are Choosing to be here, right now. Hold on, stay inside...
This hoooooly realityy, this hoooooly experience.
Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.

Aliiiiive!

In this hoooooly reality, in this hoooooly experience. Choosing to be here in...
This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and, celebrate this
chance to beeeeee alive and breathing

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.

Sugita Tomokazu - Hare Hare Yukai (Translated)

You know if I could solve all of
The mysteries and the wonders of this world
I would keep my mouth shut and not tell a soul at all
Maybe you just wish that I could
be more excited and energetic like you
But I'm not the type of guy that you think I am
and Time goes crazy crazy BUUUUUN
'cos of all
The warpy loopy people gathering
before I know it the world of her dreams grows way to strong
and con-sumes everything! (Someone help me!)

One sunny day as clear as can be
the person who searches endlessly
for some greater fun
dragging me along
is such a pain in the ass to me
tommorrow i wonder if I'll survive
I'm kinda amazed that I'm still alive
Are you happy now?
Just do your best (fight)
If you're satisfied then let me go
Go and chase your dream now (do it by yourself)
Try and catch your dream now (do it by yrouself!)
Because I do not have/ not have/ a dream at all.

Jackyl - I stand alone

well every time I move
Every step I take
You know I just can't seem to take
the right direction
I'm always wrong I'm never right
Right or wrong there always seems to be a correction
And I'd give it everything I got
but they take take take take take everything
everything i'm giving
My back is tried my legs both ache
there is no cake
In this life I'm living

[Chorus]
I stand alone today
WHY DO YOU FEEL?!
Don't ask me why I feel, I just know I feel this way
WHERE DO YOU STAND?!
I stand alone today
I said I stand alone today
WHY DO YOU FEEL?!
Don't ask me why I feel, I just know I feel this way
WHERE DO YOU STAND?!
I stand alone today, YEAH!

Well you look at me
And you shake your head
You don't like my hair, and you're so misled
But I shit like you do (I shit just like you do. I'm no different is what it means)
When you curse and moan, and ugh, my hair
Sometimes I think I'm better off dead
It's just worse than voodoo, yeah
Well my back's still tired
And my legs, they both ache
In this life there is no cake
In this life I'm living

[chorus]

Well they take!
They take!
Everything I'm giving!
It's a rough, rough living
This life I'm living
Gimme more
Gimme more, cause I take more every day
I'm gonna take it
Till they take take take, take take take take take me away!

[Solo]
[chorus x2]

Say I!
I!
I!
Stand alone today!
Say I!
I!
I!
Stand alone today
Say I!
I!
I!
Stand alone today!
Say I!
I!
I!
Stand alone today, say I!

Also

Something ripped a vein
i drive myself insane
Just kissed my ass goodbye
And flushed it down the drain!
I'll make it fit!
Mental masturbation, I think it's time to use my fist!

I got lost in all the hustle
Forgot to get a muscle in
Now I'm a boogie shooter in a gig near Russel!
But hey!
I don't give a shit!
Mental masturbation, I think it's time to use my fist!

Come on, boys!
[solo]

Well my baby's come undone
and now she aint no fun
the bitch got all my candy
SHE WON'T GIVE ME NONE!
Ain't that some bullshit?!
Mental masturbation, I think it's time to use my fist!
Mental masturbation, I think it's time to use my fist!
Mental masturbation, I think it's time to use my fist!

Your Ex-Lover is Dead - Stars

God that was strange to see you again,
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
In that instant it started to pour,
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across pont champlain
And all of the time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name...

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me
You see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't chose
I'll write you a postcard
I'll send you the news
From a house down the road from real love...

Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...
Live through this, and you won't look back...

There's one thing I want to say, so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted
I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

 

[Stigmata]

I threw on my old Billy Talent CD today, it wasn't too bad.

So if you see me will you just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye
And if you want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby, how could you

Standing in the rain
Milk carton mugshot baby
Missing since 1983
Standing in the rain
Twenty years of dirty needles
Raindrops running through my veins

[edit] And these aren't my favourite lyrics ever, not by a long shot. But I thought I might as well add something that isn't Tool, Radiohead, or QOTSA.

 

[dfc05]

These might not count as lyrics since they're more like spoken word over music.

Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Dead Flag Blues

the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
and a dark wind blows

the government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs
with the radio on and the curtains drawn

we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death

the sun has fallen down
and the billboards are all leering
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

it went like this:

the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair

the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze

i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
these are truly the last days"

you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a fever

we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it's the valley of death

i open up my wallet
and it's full of blood

Modest Mouse - Teeth Like God's Shoeshine

Take up all for the long ride
And you'll go around town
No one will want to be uptight anymore
You should be ashamed
To be so proud of what you've done
But not no one
Not now, not ever anyone
Take them all for the sight of their happiness
From that deep hurt deep down inside

The Lonesome Crowded West is such a fantastic album. Easily the best Modest Mouse album to date.

Modest Mouse - Teeth Like God's Shoeshine Lyrics

From the top of the ocean - Yeah
From the bottom of the sky -Goddamn
Well I get claustrophobic
I can you know that I can
And he said:
"I am not allowed much danger
keep in line you're an old friend stranger.
you'll burn me if effigy and I'll burn you in effigy."
A rattle snake up in buffalo Montana
he bit the leg of the old sheriff
Ha! That boy fell down on his harelip -Ow! Ow!
Well I might be wrong
but you you tag along
and we we all been wronged
and I get dizzier by the mile
Said hell! The money's spent
went to the county line
and paid the rent said "Uh-oh."
Oh! If you could compact your conscience
Oh! And you might.
Oh! If you could bottle and sell it you might have done
Oh! And you might
Oh! If you could compact your conscience
and sell it save it for another time
you might have to use it.
And the televisions gone
Go to the grocery store, buy some new friends
and find out the beginning, the end, and the best of it
Well, do you need a lot of what you've got to survive?
Here's the man with teeth like God's shoeshine
He sparkles shimmers shines
let's all have another Orange Julius
Thick syrup standing in lines
The malls are the soon to be ghost towns
so long, farewell, good-bye
Take 'em all for the long ride
and you'll go around town
no one wants to be uptight anymore
You can be ashamed
or be so proud of what you've done
but not no one, not now, not ever or anyone
take 'em all for the sense of happiness
that comes from hurting deep down inside
Or you can walk the line and give a shit
I'm on the corner of this and this and this and this
and its all all wrong, and its all all gone
Well, you can add it up and give a shit
go to the family doctor
Its all worth it
and its all all gone, and its all all wrong
Here's the man with teeth like God's shoeshine
He sparkles shimmers shines
let's all have another Orange Julius
Thick syrup standing in lines
The malls are the soon to be ghost towns
so long, farewell, good-bye
And the telephone goes off
pick to receiver up, try to meet ends
and find out the beginning, the end and the best of it.

Animal Collective - Peacebone

A peacebone got found in the dinosaur wing
I've been jumping all over but my views are slowly shrinking
I was a Jugular vein in a juggler's girl
I was supposedly leaking the most interesting colors
While half of my fingers are dipped in the sand
You progress in letters, but you're used to cooking broccoli
The other side of take out is mildew on rice
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
Only a few things are related to the "old times"
Then we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside
Adjust your insides
You're just an inside

I'll bet the monster was happy when they made him a maze
'Cause he don't understand intentions, he just looks at a face
I'll bet the bubbles exploded to tickle the bath
All the birds are very curious, all the fish are at the surface
With half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide, I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman
And a blowout does not mean I will have a good night
'Cause an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside
Adjust your insides
You're just an inside

I start in a hose and I'll end in a yard
When I feel like I'm stealing I can't keep myself from hearing God
Only the taste of your cooking can make me bow on the ground
It was the clouds that carved the mountains, it was the mountains that made the kids scream
Oh well she bore all her parts but she never was found
You think "I'll carve a path through New York and be an artist", but are you anything?
Then you find out you can't ask a baby to cry
And an obsession with the past is like a dead fly
And just a few things are related to the "old times"
When we did believe in magic and we did die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insides
You're just an inside
Adjust your insides
You're just an inside

Thom Yorke - Analyse

A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibilty
You roll in reams across the street
In algebra, in algebra

The fences that you cannot climb
The sentences that do not rhyme
In all that you can ever change
The one you're looking for

It gets you down
It gets you down

There's no spark
No light in the dark

It gets you down
It gets you down
You traveled far
What have you found
That there's no time
There's no time
To analyse
To think things through
To make sense

Like cows in the city, they never looked so pretty
By power carts and blackouts
Sleeping like babies

I could post so many ones from Radiohead + Thom Yorke, but I'll leave it at that.

The Lonesome Crowded West is definitely the best Modest Mouse album.

Teeth Like God's Shoeshine is amazing, ya gotta post the whole thing

Truth, but that one segment always really moves me when I'm listening to it. Not only do I love the lyrics but the raw energy that Isaac puts into that part of song is jaw dropping. Same for the end, too.

Pink Floyd - Eclipse

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."

TBH: Hate This Place - Goo Goo Dolls

Gone Away
Who knows where you've been
You take all your lies
And wish them all away

I somehow doubt
We'll ever be the same
There's too much poison
And confusion on your face

Can you feel it
I didn't mean it
Can I see you
What are we doin'
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin' nothin' you don't you

Hold on Dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Take you time
Move yourself to me
Yeah I can take your lies
Until you fall away
You know I"m lost
Hinding in your bed
No I don't think it's wrong
It's just gone to my head
Can you feel it
I didn't mean it
Can you see it
What are we doin'
I think I love you
But I ain't sayin' nothin' you don't know

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hey watcha do to me
Would you come back to me
Yeah I can't do another day
I"m not certain of it anyway
I'm not messin' with another life
Can I get on without you
Tell me lies
That you
Know I need

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Hold on dreamaway
You're my sweet charade

Tokyo Police Club-Citizens of Tomorrow

I'll have a microchip planted in my heart, so if I try to escape, robots will blow me apart and my limbs will go flying.
And land before those that I love, and they'll weep and wail but the robots will keep them at bay
While I close my eyes for the last time.

Rush - Twilight Zone

A pleasant faced man steps up to greet you
He smiles and says hes pleased to meet you
Beneath his hat the strangeness lies
Take it off, hes got three eyes
Truth is false and logic lost
Now the fourth dimension is crossed

You have entered the twilight zone
Beyond this world strange things are known
Use the key, unlock the door
See what your fate might have in store
Come explore your dreams creation
Enter this world of imagination

Wake up lost in an empty town
Wondering why no one else is around
Look up to see a giant boy
Youve just become his brand new toy
No escape, no place to hide
Here where time and space collide

God damn I love Rush!


Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast

"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixty six."

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back
'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was this all for real or some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
The ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me

I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it's course

Yea, that's the whole song, hehe. It's awesome.

Ah yes.

Queens of the Stone Age - Suture Up Your Future



I'm gonna suture up my future
I ain't jaded, I just hate it
See, I been down too long
It's kinda hard to explain.
Done and buried all I carried
All my evil is through a needle
As it pull through the eye
What was and what will are now gone

Don't sweat it
Thread it to forget it
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of
The rest of the life that you've got
Take a picture and bury it all away
Bury it all
Away.

Tried to fake it, I just can't take it
I don't care if it hurts
Just so long as it's real
I won't waste it, turned to face it
I'd sharpened a knife then used it
Until bone made it dull
Tried explaining, done explaining
I got caught in the plaid
All of this talking at once
I've been giving my love away
To the things that tear it apart
I'm gonna suture up my future

Thread it, to forget it
To feel like you've already gone on
To the rest of
The rest of the life that you've got
Tie the loose ends and bury it all away
It's like this, just like this

Idioteque and Exit Music by Radiohead, The Trial by Pink Floyd and basically everything by Leonard Cohen would be my current favourites.

Toastertron, much love for Chelsea Hotel.

Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.

 

[Vigilante]

I Cum Blood by Cannibal Corpse lololololoklllllol

 

[sreeja]

My favorite is a Malayalam song from the movie VAISALI

 

[Trevelyan]

"I'm goin' to Hollywood, they'll see that I'm so good,
I won't care how I feel, and I'll get to **** Brooke Shields!
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in"

The Money Will Roll Right by Fang

"I've got the chance to get some money so im taking it,

No joke, because this being broke s**t just ain't makin it"

Live & Let Die by Kool G Rap

Faithless - Love Lives On My Street

A mans life got took away in the city today, they say
But never tell how many's been born
Inform us of a top notch surgeon's mistake
But not the many lives he's saved before
Show us starving kids through expensive lenses
On a far and distant shore
Of which, when sold, could feed a good few
Hey mister rich - Why don't you help the poor

Bad news, sad news, never no good news
S'all they print and beam
Make a child believe that there ain't no love
Well hey, love lives on my street.

Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed

Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed

Back up from the crap and the desert of dying sons
Me I'm trying to come to terms and learn as one
Way to display the way I'm feeling, I need healing
From the floor to the ceiling,
But I'm not gonna sit n' die while time ticks by
I gotta get up, stand up, before I break up into pieces
Iron out the creases,
Find out what peace is.

In the Mood - Rush

Aw, hey now, baby,
Well, I like your smile
Won't you come and talk to me
For a little while

Well, you're makin' me crazy
The way you roll them eyes
Won't you come and sit with me
I'll tell you all my lies

Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

Well, hey now, baby
Don't you talk so fast
I'm just try'n' to make these good times,
I'm try'n' to make it last

Ev'rything's getting hazy
Now honey, where'd you go?
I just want to find out, baby
where'd you learn what you know?

Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

Well, hey now, baby
Said, I like your style
You really got me, baby
Way down deep inside

Oo, you drive me crazy
Baby, you're the one
I just want to rock-and-roll you woman
Until the night is gone

Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move
