Levellers - Elation

Oh there was once a man who had lost his own smile
And he wandered the country mile after mile
Never quite knowing what he wanted to find
For his heart it lay heavy with the weight of his mind

And he looked at the land through the tears in his eyes,
For he knew that there were those who would will her to die.
And he wept for his mother as he lay at her feet,
And he heard a voice singing him softly to sleep,

[Chorus]
I'll be your queen, I'll be your mother, I'll be your mystical child,
Be your best friend, your lover, Your wife for all time.
Will there ever be another, in this life of mine,
Will there ever be another, like my mystical child.

So he climbed a high hill and he looked out to sea,
And he heard a voice calling out softly to him,
Open your heart boy for it needs to be free,
And the next time you’re crying come running to me.

[Chorus]

So he walked through the valleys the trees and the fields,
And he came to a river where she waited for him,
And they looked at the water of life flowing by,
And he heard a voice saying, 'You’re not alone in the fight',

[Chorus]

 

[tonksy]

Oxy Cotton



[Lil' Wyte]
Go on and slip me two Xanax Bars - I'm ready ta git fool
5th ta Crown ta wash it down, I'm downtown snapping rolls
Ain't no shame up in my game - infact I'm mentally duranged
Oxy Cotton in my system - man I'm feeling kinda strange
Watch me choke about this dope - Blueberry from Texas
You wanna git up in rotation thats too bad cuz I'm stressing
'Bout now its 1:30 am - 11 Percocets just entered me
15 minutes from this second - I'll be crawling on my knees
Laughing at the crowd of all the clowns that be surrounding me
Take another Lortab ta calm me down and let me see
Body be relaxed - muscles be loose, and you have stopped the pain
No more bitching 'bout your day and work and driving in the rain
Put up wit' the fussing and discussion - I plant in your brain
Hypnotize ya minds, like all the rest but I come through the veins
Take a chill pill ta slow me down and git back in this game
Gatta be up on ya P's and Q's ta even feel it man

(Hook 2x - [Lil' Wyte])
Oxy Cotton - Xanax Bars - Percocet and Lortab
Valiums - Morphine - patches - Exctacy - and it's all up for grab
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you man
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you man

[Lord Infamous]
Scarecrow, scarecrow whats that you popping?
A powerful pill they call Oxy Cotton
But it'so tiny, yea it got you dragging
Haven't you heard big things come in small packages
I prefer the orange's with the black O-C
Take 2 and you can't move up out your seat
Some people melt them down in a needle and shoot 'em up
But I pop 'em with seroquel like glue, I am stuck

[Crunchy Blac]
See I'ma pill popper - so I'ma keep poppin' em
Gimme 20 Xanax and I'ma start droppin' em
They ain't no stoppin' him - when they in my system
Might not really miss 'em - can you help me get 'em
I heard you have Clidina, on that fucking pill shed
Gimme some fuckn Ec' - gimme some Percocets
I need me some footballs, so I can break down
Cuz a nigga like me 'finna take it ta fight now

(Hook 2x - [Lil' Wyte])
Oxy Cotton - Xanax Bars - Percocet and Lortab
Valiums - Morphine - patches - Ecstacy - and it's all up for grab
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you man
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you man

Aww hell, and I was gonna some day, you know, when there are flying pink elephants, get around to starting this topic.

Shoulda just gone with the guy walking on water portent...that's a done deal...

So, here's me first

Foo Fighters - Times Like These

I am a one way motorway
I'm the one that drives away
then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I'm a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
to hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
do I stay or run away
and leave it all behind?

it's times like these you learn to live again
it's times like these you give and give again
it's times like these you learn to love again
it's times like these time and time again

Short and sweet, but it speaks to me. The acoustic version rocks.

future breed machine by meshuggah

an even stobe a pulse of flashing
hatelights of synthetic souls massproduced
hammered to shaped a sign of times dreams
turn into systems a new way a new breed
implanted in our minds

here i am in the hand of a sterile hate the
new control i can not wake i'm not a sleep

new intelligence arise in emptied bodies
turgid flesh tested through eternal spastic
fits through not known codes mother
machine in genocide now scorn a dying race

evolution in reverse now it's time for me
changing what am i to be contorted an
eternity defeated

programmed to appease you we're symbols of
perfection humanoids runed by your laws :
destroy erase improve lesson first :
submission we're docile servant dogs our
leashes are your limbs computed deep
within

remoted minds controlled our thoughts no
more doubts the new way is here disgorged

another thousands fakes that obey to a

circuit skein to vacuum

mechanical thoughts i now concieve no
longer me always to see inanity millions
to be units like me eternally human
patterns copied dissected distorted
completed to fit the machine the nerve
fibres give in to cords to the unknown

see me be me same contents same machine

the currency of ours no more flesh and bone
we are to unaware of what we have been
before

evolution in reverse now it's time for me
changing what am i to be contorted an
eternity defeated by the new machine

Levellers - Just the One

Do you fancy a drink
Just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long
It's a beautiful day
To waste away
There's plenty of time
For another one

[Chorus]
You know you shouldn't do it
But can't see no reason why
So blow your mind

Make mine a short
I'm getting there
But where there is
I couldn't care
There must be something
I haven't tried
Perhaps that bottle before my eyes

[Chorus]

Through the haze
The sun goes down
It's getting late
Let's hit the town
Call some friends
To paint it red
Feed the animal
In your head

[Chorus]

They throw you out
You hit the night
Go to a club
You feel alright
You get a pill
Take just half
Then take the rest of it
For a laugh

[Chorus]

Across the floor
You think you see
The one of your dreams
Your fantasy
But that last drink
Has made you blind
You need the bar
But it's hard to find

[Chorus]

It's a brand new game
You want to try,
You line them up
And it's the first to die
You think you've won
but it's time to leave
And it's back to yours
for a cup of tea

[Chorus]

You find your keys
And you all fall in
You spend an hour
And search your skins
When all seems lost
And it's looking grim
You find the bottle
Of christmas gin

[Chorus]

The rest is blank
And that's the worst
An empty head
For an empty purse
You had a laugh
Or so you think
But in the morning
You just stink

So you fancy a drink
It's just the one
To clear your head
We won't be long

*my eptitah *

[Camelyn]

Here's the whole song, but it's the chorus that I love...

Outside - Staind

and you bring me to my knees
all this time that i
all the times that i felt insecure
and i leave my burdens at the door

i'm on the outside
i'm looking in
i can see through you
see your true colors
inside you're ugly
ugly like me
i can see through you
see to the real you

all this time that i felt like this won't end
was for you
and i taste what i could never have
it's from you
all those times that i tried
my intentions
full of pride
and i waste more time than anyone

i'm on the outside
i'm looking in
i can see through you
see your true colors
cause inside you're ugly
ugly like me
i can see through you
see to the real you

all the times that i cried
all this wasting
it's all inside
and i feel all this pain
stuffed it down
it's back again
and i lie here in bed
all alone
i can't help what i feel
tomorrow will be okay

i'm on the outside
i'm looking in
i can see through you
see your true colors
inside you're ugly
ugly like me
i can see through you
see to the real you

Oasis - Songbird

Talking to the songbird yesterday
Flew me to a past not far away
She's a little pirate in my mind
Singing songs of love to pass the time

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

A man can never dream these kind of things
Especially when she came and spread her wings
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
Then she flew away into the night

Gonna write a song so she can see
Give her all the love she gives to me
Talk of better days that have yet to come
Never felt this love from anyone

She's not anyone
She's not anyone
She's not anyone

Aerosmith - Walk This Way

Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
Till I talked to your daddy he say
He said you ain't seen nothin' till you're down on a muffin
Then you're sure to be a changin' your ways
I met a cheerleader was a real young bleeder
Oh the times I could reminisce
'Cause the best things of lovin' with her sister and her cousin
Only started with a little kiss
Like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
And I knowed love was here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this

Schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
Little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
There was three young ladies in the school gym locker
When I noticed they was lookin' at me
I was a high school loser never made it with a lady
Till the boys told me somethin' I missed
Then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
So I gave her just a little kiss
Like this

Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
And your feet flyin' up in the air
Singin' hey diddle diddle
With your kitty in the middle of the swing like you didn't care
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin' 'cause she knew what she was doin'
When she told me how to walk this way
She told me to

Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way
Walk this way

Just gimme a kiss
Like this

AFI : MALLEUS MALEFICARUM

Open my eyes as i submerge
and i won't deny what i've been since birth.
i'll die drowned by your standards.

breathe in the life of the summer's death
as the orange and red breathe their first breath,
so welcome as they're buring thru.

we all begin to burn.
autumn's flame dances in my eyes.
set alight for all we've learned
my ashes falling...

my skin is singed but it heals my heart
and with glowing pride i'll wear my scars.
i'm honored by your hatred.

leaves fall, we rise again
and the end impending it will begin,
so welcome as it's burning thru.

we all begin to burn.
autumn's flame dances in my eyes.
set alight for all we've learned
my ashes falling...

ashes fall as i'm rising up again.
fall, fall, ashes fall and we all arise.

AFI : MORNINGSTAR

i saw a star beneath the stairs
glowing thru the melting walls
who will be the first to begin their fall?
or will we become one?

am i the star beneath the stairs?
am i the ghost upon the stage?
am i your anything?

i saw a star beneath the stairs
glowing bright before descent
and in the morning, there is nothing left
but what's inside of me.

am i the star beneath the stairs?
am i the ghost upon the stage?
am i your anything?

and i dont want to die tonight,
will you believe in me?
and i dont want to fall into the light.

will you wish upon?
will you walk upon me?
i dont want to die tonight...

will you believe in me toniiiiiiiiiiight????
am i the star beneath the stairs?
am i the ghost upon the stage?
am i your anything?
am i the star beneath the stairs?
am i the ghost upon the stage?
am i your anything?

Levellers - Another Mans Cause

Gunshots shatter the peace of night
It's just another fire fight
For the people of this little town
But for the dying soldier
He's feeling ten years older
And he's lying face down on the ground
All the words that are in his head
Are all the words his mother said
As she would put him to bed back home

[Chorus]
Your daddy died in the last war
Fighting for another man's cause
And your brother he was killed in the Falklands
Now your mother's lying home alone

Every day she sees his face
On the picture on the fireplace
With your brother as he was leaving school
Then a day came five years ago
You said, "Mother, I need to know"
And you spoke the words your brother spoke before
"I know the things my Daddy´s done
I've seen the medals that he´s won
And I know that this is what he would have wanted for me."

CHORUS

And now she wonders at it all
How many more are going to answer the call
To fight and die in another country's war
To die for a religion they have never believed in at all
To die in a place they never should have been at all
No, never been at all

CHORUS

 

[Sharky]

Deftones - "Minerva"

I get all...numb
When she sings it's over
Such a strange numb
And it brings my knees to the earth

And God bless you all
For the song you saved us...

You're the same...numb
When you sing it's over
Such a strange numb
It could bring back peace to the earth

So God bless you all
For the song you saved us...oh...
For the hearts you break, everytime you moan...

I get all...numb
We're the same numb
And it brings our knees to the earth

So God bless you all
For the song you saved us..oh...
For the hearts you break, everytime you moan
And God bless you all on the earth...

When I saw who started this thread I knew it would deffo have someLevellers in it. Where's One Day then hun?

Hope St- Levellers

There's a young boy in the queue
Not much else for him to do
He's had a drink, he's had a few
Down the pub on Hope Street

Dear old lady, you're looking thin
Got a shopping bag with your life in
Your old man's going through the bins
It's down and outs on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down
Clean the dirt off this old town
Tell the sun to come around
And show his face on Hope Street

There's a fight right down the street
The betting shop has got him beat
Blew his money for the week
On a horse called Hope Street

No old faces out today
Someone took them all away
Cleaning up or so they say
The dirty face of Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down...

Everyday I look at you
Dressed up in your ties of blue
Saying there's not much you can do
To help the kids on Hope Street

They don't seem to even care
That it was you that put them there
You seem to think they like it there
Hanging out on Hope Street

Rain on me come pouring down...

 

[Oricon]

I'm waking up and bakin'
Watching the parade cause today's the day I got over you
Taking out the trash and the pictures that I stashed
Of the two of us in 1992
You stole my heart when Eddie Veder was king
I gave you a foot massage I gave you my ring
You left me for a drummer cause you said I couldn't sing
But, That's ok

[CHORUS]

Cause there'll be
No more mountain climbing in the rain
No more Long hair clogging up the drain
No more Life will never be the same
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all
Saw you with the dude who gave us our first tattoos
Did he cover up my name that was fast
Can you believe that I'm alive, still not working 9 to 5
And my little band is kicking some ass
So when you asked me if I hated you now
It's not you it's just all of the times I missed out
On sleeping with your roommate every time you passed out
But, That's ok

[CHORUS]

I'll bet you're saying to yourself that you'll find somebody else like me
But all I've gotta say is there ain't no fucking way that you're getting me to say
I'm sorry..........No today!!!

[CHORUS]

Cleaning up the house again
Listening to House Of Pain
Having headaches in my brain
Listening to you complain
Shopping at the mall again
I'm out of rhymes I've gotta say
Life after Lisa is not so bad at all!!!!
