Levellers - This Garden

[Chorus]
Blood, sweat and tears,
Really don't matter,
Just the things that you do,
In this garden.
Blood, sweat and tears,
Really don't matter,
Just the things that you do,
In this garden.

I never thought I'd see the day,
When you became what you've become,
It's easy now just to look away,
Leave your consience on the run,
Spent so much time not looking for an answer,
But someone else to blame,
As long as you don't take the drop,
To you it's all the same.

[Chorus]

Sometimes I like to get away,
Chase the thought and fly,
People round here, they'll never change,
They're to scared to look outside,
Community spirit - neighbourhood watch,
Curtains twitching all the time,
You've got to have a look at what next doors got,
Cos you're credit's on the line.

[Chorus]

Don't waste your time with your visions of the future,
And your party line,
Cos your eyes have blinded to the people in the gutter,
Who are fighting to survive.
When I was out I saw a fox,
He was running for his life,
His eyes were wide but his mind was shut,
To the red coat bugle cries,
When he reached his home his path was blocked,
By some "sportsman's" clever guise,
If this is as far as your culture's got,
I deny it.

[Chorus]

Blood, sweat and tears,
Really don't matter.
Blood, sweat and tears,
Really don't matter.

Really don't matter.
Really don't matter.

 

[Raven]

when I saw them the singer lit himself on fire. then they were naked for about 15 min. then during bestrafe mich(punish me) they were kicked off stage

Yeah Till Lindeman is a strange one isnt he? But thats what makes rammstein so cool! when I get my next connection I'll post a JPG of one of my stranger Rammstein posters

And the Kids arent Alright is one of my fave offspring songs!

Don Henley If dirt were dollars

She just looked at me, uncomprehendingly
Like cows at a passing train.

Mooooooo

Does anyone remember this song from "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead"? ​

I always thought it was pretty sad, yet a great song! ​

Perfect World (Alias)​

in a perfect world, it would never end like this,​

there’d be something we could do.​

in a perfect world, lovers wake up with a kiss,​

and their wishes all come true.​

but here we are, I thought you belonged to me.​

it seemed like the, perfect arrangement.​

ain’t it funny when you find, how wrong you can be?​

‘cause oh, this ain’t no perfect world,​

I got my problems.​

no, this ain’t no perfect world,​

you’ve got your problems too.​

now what do we do?​

in a perfect world, I’d have been the boy you need,​

I’d have been somebody you missed.​

in a perfect world, you’d have been the girl for me,​

you could have been yourself. ​

you see, we’re dying for love, but we’re afraid to drop our guard.​

lost in a world, gone crazy.​

where the men won’t grow up, and the women get so hard.​

oh, this ain’t no perfect world,​

I got my problems.​

no, this ain’t no perfect world,​

you’ve got your problems too.​

now what do we do?​

I don’t know if we’ll wind up friends​

I don’t know if we’ll wind of strangers​

‘cause I never had to walk away from anybody​

I wanted as much as I wanted you.​

oh, this ain’t no perfect world,​

‘cause I got my problems.​

no, this ain’t no perfect world,​

you’ve got your problems too.​

this ain’t no perfect world.​

Bowling For Soup - 2113​

I had to kiss you one more time, so I followed you home,
And I almost lost you at the light.
I've seen you a couple of times, but I had no idea,
That you would be mine tonight.​

I was to meet another girl, but she did't show,
And you asked if I was alone.
The night came to an end, I had to kiss you one more time,
So I followed you home.​

I'm just a boy
I'm on the side
Believe me I don't mind
I'm just a boy
Not quite your type
But that don't matter much tonight​

Yeah you asked if you could call, but you didn't write it down,
So I thaught that we were through.
And when you said hello, I could not believe,
That I got a call from you.​

It's like candy in a bag, you can put it on a shelf,
It's there when you need a taste.
Sweetness makes you weak, don't eat it everyday,
Just don't let it go to waste.​

There's No Home For You Here - The White Stripes

Theres no home for you here girl,
go away
Theres no home for you here

Id like to think that all of this constant interaction
Is just the kind to make you drive yourself away
Each simple gesture done by me is counteracted
And leaves me standing here with nothing else to say
Completely baffled by a backward indication
That an inspired word will come across your tongue
Hands moving upward to propel the situation
Have simply halted
And now the conversations done
Theres no home for you here girl,
go away

Theres no home for you here

Im only waiting for the proper time to tell you
That its impossible to get along with you
Its hard to look you in the face when we are talking
So it helps to have a mirror in the room
Ive not been really looking forward to the performance
But theres my cue and theres a question on your face
Fortunately I have come across an answer
Which is go away
And do not leave a trace

Theres no home for you here girl
go away
Theres no home for you here

Waking up for breakfast
Burning matches
Talking quickly
Breaking baubles
Throwing garbage
Drinking soda
Looking happy
Taking pictures
So completely stupid
Just go away

Theres no home for you here girl,
go away
Theres no home for you here

Great song

Where's me White Stripes cd gone?....

 

[chcr]

Here you go bleach, I Ain't afraid--Holly Near

I ain't afraid of your Yahweh
I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
I ain't afraid of your churches
I ain't afraid of your temples
I ain't afraid of your praying
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
verse
Rise up to your higher power
Free up from fear, it will devour you
Watch out for the ego of the hour
The ones who say they know it
Are the ones who will impose it on you
I ain't afraid of your Yahweh
I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
I ain't afraid of your churches
I ain't afraid of your temples
I ain't afraid of your praying
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
verse
Rise up, and see /find/ know/ hear a higher story
Free up from the gods of war and glory
Watch out for the threats of purgatory
The spirit of the wind won’t make a killing off of sin and satan
I ain't afraid of your Bible
I ain't afraid of your Torah
I ain't afraid of your Koran
Dont let the letter of the law
Obsure the spirit of the your love--it's killing us
I ain't afraid of your Yahweh
I ain't afraid of your Allah
I ain't afraid of your Jesus
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God
I ain't afraid of your churches
I ain't afraid of your temples
I ain't afraid of your praying
I'm afraid of what you do in the name of your God

Money
Culture
Choices
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Sunday
Spirt
Teachers
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Sabbath
Borders
Dances
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God double
Children
Music
Stories
I’m afraid of what you do in the name of your God
Rise up to your higher power
Free up
Rise up to your higher power
Free up
Let's try to be highly evolved
I aint afraid

 

[Oz]

Got one similar oh guitary type fella (tho' it is slightly more sentimental)

SEAHORSES - LOVE ME AND LEAVE ME

Don't believe in Jesus
Don't believe in Jah
Don't believe in the wars
we fight just to prove how real we are

I believe in lovers, I believe in friends
I believe in heaven here on earth
'til the, the beginning ends

Love me and leave me
Love me and leave me
Love me and leave me
Leave me to love
Don't you ever tell me it came from above
Just love me and leave me
Leave me to love

I believe in heroes, I believe in stars
I believe that we'll meet one day,
Say hello in some astral bar

I believe in brothers I know
you know who you are
Here's to those who bore us and
made us what we are

Artist: Bowling For Soup
Album: Drunk Enough To Dance
Song: Where To Begin

Lyrics :
Sail away, sail away with me
I don't have a ship
But we could get one easily
Drift away, drift away with me
On the raft we'll make of memories
On an ocean we can call forever more
[Pre chorus:]
I want to find
A piece of your mind
I want to see
Your make believe
I don't want to try so hard
I make it hard for you to breathe
[Chorus:]
Jump into the ocean
Living on a notion
If you're caught up in the motion
Back track and do it again
And if you make it up
I could never get enough
Me and you together
But you've gotta tell me where to begin
Break away, break away from me
No forget that, just sit here and look at me
Summer's day
Summer every day
And we watch the sunset come back up
And somehow know it never goes back down
[Pre chorus]
[Chorus]
I've been saving up to buy more time with you
You've been living it up with someone else
And that's okay with me
Because I know it and you know it too
[Chorus]

Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

I stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain

I rode a tank
Held a general's rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
(woo woo, woo woo)

I shouted out,
"Who killed the Kennedys?"
When after all
It was you and me
(who who, who who)

Let me please introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached Bombay
(woo woo, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
(who who, who who)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But what's confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
(woo woo, who who)

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint
(who who, who who)

So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
(woo woo)
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah
(woo woo, woo woo)

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
(who who)
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
(woo woo, woo woo)

Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
(woo woo)

Tell me baby, what's my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, what's my name
I tell you one time, you're to blame

Oh, who
woo, woo
Woo, who
Woo, woo
Woo, who, who
Woo, who, who
Oh, yeah

What's my name
Tell me, baby, what's my name
Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

The Who - Behind Blue Eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Selling Jesus - Skunk Anansie

You kill me with your smelly fingers
Your smelly fingers from the sex you had on Christmas Day
And now you say you're feeling guilty
You're feeling guilty 'cos your god was shining on your face
You go to church and light a candle
And then you're blinded by the light from the golden pews
The devil's snapping at your toes now
Because the angels can't be bothered to live to you

They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love

You're buying this you're buying that now
You're wishing all the money in the world belonged to you
You're crucified upon you're own cross now
You're givin' money to the white men in the white limo
That kind of god is always man-made
They made him up then wrote a book to keep you on your kness
They get their theories from the same place
Then build a church if there's some money left
From lying on the beach

They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love

They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love

Black Limousine - Rolling Stones

We used to ride, baby
Ride around in limousines
We looked so fine, baby
You in white and me in green
Drinking and dancing
All inside and crazy dream
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

I get so scared
Just to see you on the street
They're living dead
Your all the same, you never speak
Your wrecked out now
Washed up high up on the beach
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

We used to shine, shine, shine, shine
Say what a pair, say what a team
We used to ride, ride, ride, ride
In a long black limousine
Those dreams are gone baby
Locked away and never seen
Well now look at your face now baby
Look at you and look at me

Mad World - Tears for Fears

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
And their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tommorow, no tommorow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
’cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

Scientist
(A Rush of Blood to the Head)


Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart


Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said that it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start


I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as we are


Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start


Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (x4)




the other coldplay song I love and hoped to post

 

[freako104]

and though its disturbing this is my fave korn song. im not too big on them anymore but this song is in a twisted way beautiful. it shows how people can feel after being molested. i cry when I hear it.

KORN LYRICS

"Daddy"

Mother please forgive me
I just had to get out all my pain and suffering
Now that I am done, remember I will always love you
I'm your son

Little child, looking so pretty
Come out and play, I'll be your daddy
Innocent child, looking so sweet
A rape in my eyes and on your flesh I'll eat

You've raped!
I feel dirty
It hurt!
As a child
Tied down!
That's a good boy
And fucked!
Your own child
I scream!
No one hears me
It hurt!
I'm not a liar
My God!
Saw you watching
Mommy why?!
Your own child

It's alright

I didn't touch you there
Mama said she didn't care
I didn't touch you there
That's why mama stopped and stared

I fucking hate you! Mother fucker!
Mother Fucker! I fucking hate you! Fuck You!
You son of a bitch, you fucking ruined my life!
I wanted to die!
I'm sick of it, mother fucker . . . oh oh
Why'd you fuck'n do it to me?
I Hate You!
I Fuck'n Hate You!
I Hate You!
Why?!
I Hate You!



my apologies if this offended anyone that wasnt my intention

and some music that helps feel better tears for fears


Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?
Too many people living in a secret world
While they play mothers and fathers
We play little boys and girls
When we gonna make it work ?
I could be happy
I could be quite naive
It's only me and my shadows
Happy in our make believe
Soon...
And with the hounds at bay
I'll call your bluff
Cos it would be okay
To walk on tiptoes everyday
And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands
Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?
Love is promise
Love is a souvenir
Once given
Never forgotten, never let it disappear
This could be our last chance
When we gonna make it work ?
Working hour is over
And how it makes me weep
Cos someone sent my soul to sleep
And when I think of you and all the love that's due
I'll make a promise, I'll make a stand
Cos to these big brown eyes, this comes as no surprise
We've got the whole wide world in our hands
Advice for the young at heart
Soon we will be older
When we gonna make it work ?
Working hour is over
We can do anyhting that we want
Anything that we feel like doing
Advice...



and another one by them


Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down)"

Chewed the bone down too low
Got fed on tea and sympathy
Blew the sail like the wind
I wish you were my enemy
I was humble for you
What a fool I've been to have
Laid so low for so long
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
Drew the blade way too slow
Was shackled by your honesty
Made a mess, I guess I have should have known
That life was lust and liberty
Not a chance mutation or the last temptation
Laid so low for so long, so low
Into that void of silence
Where we cry without sound
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down
And where your mother's violence
Sent your soul underground
Where tears roll down
Where tears roll down

Flower of Scotland - Traditional

Aniversary of me grandads death today

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

0 Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Levellers - 15 years

I never was a violent man, said the man in the bar
With his head in his hands. He’s trying his best to
Understand the cause of his dismay. But the years of
Gin, have broken him, they have left his cold when he fitted in.
But it’s to late now to turn around and find another way.

And the laughs in the late night lock-in are
Fading away when he gets in, the girl from fifteen
Years ago has packed and gone away.

That’s never how it used to be, what happened to all
That energy? You took one to many liberties. I’m tired of being
Afraid. So after the fight she took flight, hiding
Swollen eyes and a wounded pride. The best years of her
Life denied and sold for liquid chance.

And the laughs in the late night lock-in are
Fading away when he gets in, the girl from fifteen
Years ago has packed and gone away.

And the victims of their world are advertised on
Posters: just a beach and a pretty girl, if you just
Take this potion, it’s another week till this cheque
Comes through, he’s got a fiver left now to spend on food.
But the doors of the bar are open than he breaks
Another rule.
Well he sits on a stool that bears his name, he’s got
A favourite glass that’s called the same.
He’s never been kept waiting, because he pays a
Landlord’s wage.

And the laughs in the late night lock-in are
Fading away when he gets in, the girl from fifteen
Years ago has packed and gone away.

And the laughs in the late night lock-in are
Fading away when he gets in, the girl from fifteen
Years ago has packed and gone away.
