Give us a Song! (lyrics thread)

MMMM MMMM MMMMM MMMM by the Crash Test Dummies




Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The car had smashed so hard

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Once there was this girl who
Wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
But when they finally made her
They saw birthmarks all over her body
She couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just been there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

But both girl and boy were glad
'Cause one kid had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this boy whose
Parents made him come directly home right after school
And when they went to their church
They shook and lurched all over the church floor
He couldn't quite explain it
They'd always just gone there

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
 
Soup - Blind Melon

The clothesline of cold eyes
Is washing away the face before
Now tell me what's wrong you see everyone's gone
You gotta do your best to decorate this dying' day
This dying' day

All over a bowl of bitter beans

And outside way, way up high I got a quarter moon misthanging' over me
And now, I want that rocking chair outta there
Cause he's no longer living here
It's no longer needed here

All over a bowl of bitter beans

And I got a corner store and that's all the more
For me to praise upon the holidays
And now I'll close my eyes really, really tight
And make you all go away,
I'll make you all go all go away

And I'll pull the trigger and make it all go away
And I'll make it all go away, I'll make it all go away
 
Hey You - Pink Floyd

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

"Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?"
"It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. You're father's gunna pick up our trail before long"
"Can Loca ride?"
"Yeah, I can ride... Magaret, time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything"
"Goodbye Chenga"
"Goodbye miss ..."
"I'll be back"
 
I'd Love to Bang the Bangles - The Saw Doctors


I wouldn't kiss Bruce Springsteen,
Jackson Brown or Leonard Cohen.
But I know someone who'd love to shift
The drummer in Status Quo.
And I wouldn't drop the love on Bono,
There'd be too many legal wrangles.
But Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to touch the Bangles.

I wouldn't kiss AC/DC
Or Lemmy from Motorhead
I wouldn't kiss Tom Petty,
Tina Turner or the Grateful Dead.
And I wouldn't kiss Mr Tambourine Man
No matter how he jingled or jangled
But Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to kiss the Bangles.

I'd love to have it off with Suzanna Hoffs.
I'd love to have it off with Suzanna Hoffs.
I'd love to have it off with Suzanna Hoffs.
Err ... my favourite's Vicky, actually.

I wouldn't kiss Liam O'Maonlai,
Guns & Roses or Muddy Waters.
I wouldn't kiss Brian Wilson
Or his lovely yankee daughters.
And Shane McGowan is not my type
Because his teeth are green and mangled
But Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to bang the Bangles.

Oh Jesus Christ Almighty, I'd love to bang the Bangles.
 
Monster Mash(once again i dont know who does it :mope: )



I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my suprise
He did the Monster Mash
And its a graveyard smash
It caught on in a flash
He did the monster Mash
From my labratory in the Castle East
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the Monster Mash
And its a graveyard smash
It caught on in a flash
They did the Monster Mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included the Wolfman
Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin
We were digging the sounds
Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds
The Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
With their band the Crypt-Kicker Five
They did the Monster Mash
And its a graveyard smash
It caught on in a flash
They did the Monster Mash
Out of his coffin Dracs voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said "whatever happened to my Transyvania Twist?"
Its now the Monster Mash
And its a graveyard smash
It caught on in a flash
Everythings cool, Dracs part of the band
My Monster Mash is the hit of the land
For you the living this mash was meant too
When you get to my door tell them Only sent you
Then you can do the Monster Mash
And do a graveyard smash
It caught on in a flash
You can do the Monster Mash
 
This really fits my mood tonight - or is it just my situation? I don't know.... :mope: :love:

Evanescence - My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[CHORUS:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though your still with me
I've been alone all along

[Chorus]
 
Tomorrow - Silverchair

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day.
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway.
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town.
The only way to get there's to go straight down.
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink.
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink,
Very hard to drink.

You, wait 'til tomorrow
You, wait 'til tomorrow

You say that money, isn't everything,
But I'd like to see you live without it.
You think you can keep on going living like a king.
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it.

Very hard to drink.

You gonna wait 'til, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait until tomorrow
 
Walking 2 hawaii - Tom McRae

Falling feels like flying
Until you hit the ground
And everything is beautiful
'Till you take a look around
So let it go

Turn the bow into the wave boys
I feel a storm coming in
And every bridge we build we burn
And never learn to swim
No we never learn to swim
So let it go

Lead me to the edge and watch
See how far we both can drop
Let it all just slip away
Let it fade

We'll walk to Hawaii
A final sunset on the waves
The perfect girl the perfect place
To watch the world go down in flames
Wouldn't that be a shame
So let it go

Lead me to the edge don't stop
Beauty always had a cost
And as the air slips from our lungs
We'll sing songs of love
Oh love, oh love...
 
Looking for a stranger - Pat Benatar

I had it with the same old routine
I had it with the same old faces, places
Everynight, in my life
I started feeling washed up, washed out
Hung up, wrung out, left to dry out
Everynight
But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I'm tired of the same old -
Hello baby, how ya doun'? Come here often?"
Where have you been all my life?"
Everynight

But I know
That someday, somewhere
I'll turn around and you'll be there
Ooo.., In my life
Everynight

But I know
Yeah, I know you're out there, somewhere
Oh, I, I can almost hear you callin'
I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight

I'm Looking For A Stranger in the night
I need a little danger in my life, tonight
 
Journey - Don't Stop Believin.

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere


A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on


Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night


Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on


(chorus)


Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people
 
cool song prof but what is it



this is Country Feedback by REM




Country Feedback
This flower is scorched
This film is on
On a maddening loop.
These clothes,
These clothes don’t fit us right
I’m to blame
It’s all the same
It’s all the same


You come to me with a bone in your hand
You come to me with your hair curled tight
You come to me with positions
You come to me with excuses
Ducked out in a row
You wear me out
You wear me out


We’ve been through fake-a-breakdown
Self hurt
Plastics, collections
Self help, self pain,
EST, psychics, fuck all
I was central
I had control
I lost my head
I need this
I need this
A paper weight, junk garage
Winter rain, a honey pot
Crazy, all the lovers have been tagged.
A hotline, a wanted ad
It’s crazy what you could’ve had
It’s crazy what you could’ve had
It’s crazy what you could’ve had
I need this
I need this
 
The Ark: It takes a fool to remain sane

Whatever happened to the funky race?
A generation lost in pace
Wasn't life supposed to be more than this?
In this kiss I'll change your bore for my bliss

But let go of my hand and it will slip on the sand
If you don't give me the chance
To break down the walls of attitude
I ask nothing of you
Not even your gratitude

And if you think I'm corny
Then it will not make me sorry
It's your right to laugh at me
And in turn that's my oppurtunity
To feel brave

Because ridicule is no shame
Oh, it's just a way to eclipse hate
It's just a way to put my back straight
Oh, it's just a way to remain sane

Every morning I would see her getting off the bus
The picture never drops, it's like a multicoloured snapshot
Stuck in my brain
It kept me sane for a couple of years
As it drenched my fears
Of becoming like the others
Who become unhappy mothers
And fathers of unhappy kids
And why is that?

'Cos they've forgotten how to play
Oh, maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
To seem strange, to seem insane
To gain weight, to seem gay
I tell you this

That it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
(Oh, take it to the stage)

So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket
Take it jackpot, crackpot, strutting like a peacock
Nailvarnish Arkansas, shimmy - shammy featherboah
Crackpot, haircut, dye your hair in glowing red and blue

Do, do, do what you wanna do
Don't think twice, do what you have to do
Do, do, do, do, let your heart decide
What you have to do
That's all there is to find

'Cos it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
Oh, in this world all covered up in shame

Oh, it takes a fool
(It takes a fool to remain sane)...
 
Dunno why.............but I just woke up singing this :) (musta been a funky dream)

Blind Faith - Levellers

A hollow heart and empty head
make the streets run red
a careless desire leaves a child
a future of fire
but you don't care
how could you care

Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everbody telling you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so

You lead your nation with a sword
pressed to its back
you mark the last page of history in black
but you don't care
how could you care

Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everbody telling you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so

Why must you poison ?
You're taking it all away
Why must you rape ?
The future this way
Now you made your babylon, what next?
should only take you 7 days to fix the mess
you don't care
how could you care

Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everybody tells you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
Blind Faith It'll be okay
Everbody telling you so
Don't look it'll go away
Everybody tells you so
 
This is another one of my big ones right now by Evanescence - Taking Over Me
You don't remember me, but I remember you.
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you.
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do.

I believe in you.
I'll give up everything just to find you.
I have to be with you to live, to breath...
You're taking over me.

Have you forgotten all I know and all we have.
You saw me mourning my love for you and touched my hand.
I knew you loved me then.

I believe in you.
I'll give up everything just to find you.
I have to be with you to live, to breath...
You're taking over me.

I look in the mirror and see your face, if I look deep enough.
So many things inside that just frighten you are taking over.

I believe in you.
I'll give up everything just to find you.
I have to be with you to live, to breath...
You're taking over me.

I believe in you.
I'll give up everything just to find you.
I have to be with you to live, to breath...
You're taking over me.

(taking over me)
You're taking over me
(taking over me)
Taking over me

this song kicks butt....i am becoming a huge dope fiend....:D

DEBONAIRE ~ DOPE


I don't need diamond rings or high priced suits that shine
Limosines and flashing things or ancient bottled wine
Designer names and lavish things and million dollar hair
Bonny Dames without a brain I never really cared
I don't care nothin about it
wow yeah
I don't care for glitzy things or a fancy neighborhood
Glamour games or plastic fame or the king of hollywood
Dazzling flamboyant things or a top hat on my head
Or modeling for magazines and be a debonaire
I don't care nothin about it
wow yeah
 
Levellers - Men-An-Tol

So I find myself among
The brave Southwestern hills
Running like a madman on the moor
Let the sweet Atlantic rain
Wash away my youth
The Men-An-Tol shone strangely in the storm

I get the strangest feeling
In the air around
It's more than just a feeling
A different way of seeing
A different kind of life
Something I believe in

But in amongst the city lights
The feeling's not so clean
Faceless signs and neon lights
Hide what I hold dear
It's there to find if you have the mind
And you don't live in fear of it

I rest among what still remains
Of lifes thar passed before
Lighting strikes the top of Zennor Tor
I find myself amazed again
At man's pathetic score
Years of knowledge wasted and ignored
 
Icarus - Annie Difranco

seems like you just
started noticing
how noticably bad things really are
and when you walked past this couple arguing
in a rolled up window
of a parked car
and all of that
gesticulated bitterness
and all of that
muffled yelling hell
its dark just starts wafting at you
like a big fury rat died
inside of that wall kinda smell

breathe like it's rolling like a cold front
thunder is thundering and lightening in tow
and your tiny little life gets
even smaller
as you heed the heaven's mighty show

and I don't mean heaven
like god-like
the animal in me knows very well
nature is our teacher, our leader, and our lover
and god is just another story that we tell

and you're trying not to grasp-not to start grasping
at straws -or sticks- or stones
just learn how to sit inside your sadness
even if you're sitting there alone

it's just like Icarus ascending
never intending to look back
nature's law and your tragic flaw
I find descending
flying into the arms of a Venus flytrap

guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
guzzle till the buzzer stops
 
Everybody knows her as little Miss Rosa
The queen of the trailer park
Well, she's a hot pepper and you'll never forget her
If you ever let her break your heart
Senor Jose works all day
Sweatin' in the red hot sun
Row after row, everybody knows
What they do when the weekend comes

He drinks tequila and she talks dirty in spanish
Him in his sombrero, her in her purty pink jammies
They dance all night to the Mariachi
Till there ain't nobody left standin'
He drinks tequila and she talks dirty in spanish

Well, the music is blarin' and the neighbors are starin'
That whole dang trailer is a-rockin'
Jose's a-howling', the Chihuahua's growlin'
And Rosie's peelin' off her silk stockings
"Yo Senora, kiss my body ,a brasa mi puerta"
"Ay,yi yi yi yi, hoochie-coo, to dal ay nochay" (??????? i don't think so...)

He drinks tequila and she talks dirty in spanish
Him in his sombrero, her in her purty pink jammies
They dance all night to the Mariachi
Till there ain't nobody left standin'
He drinks tequila and she talks dirty in spanish

He drinks tequila and she talks dirty in spanish
Him in his sombrero,her in her purty pink jammies
The dance all night to the Mariachi
Till there ain't nobody left standin'
He drinks tequila and she talks dirty in spanish
