    what's one song you love more than life it's self and could never get sick of?

    Mine would have to be Straw Dog by Something Coroporate.... there's just something about it you know?

    anyways just curious as to what you guys would say....

    also post the lyrics! we'll all see if we can get a little insight to your brain! :D

    Staring into the intersection
    she thinks that she can fly and she might
    holding on in a new direction
    she's gonna try it tonight
    the closer i get to feeling
    the further that i'm feeling from alright
    the more i step into the sun
    the more i step out of the light

    Jessica's covered in a blanket
    on a sunday porch
    thinking of the weekends
    she would party in the city
    she doesn't have a flame
    she'd prefer to burn out
    like a torch
    If she gets nowhere in life
    At least she knows she's pretty

    She said
    Hey Now The Straw dog's out in the street
    Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
    Hey now they're calling all the police
    But they won't get to us anyhow

    The moon is shining now
    And shadows are what's left of all the noise
    simple silhouettes and cut outs
    As if we had a choice
    he listens closely now
    swears that he can hear a voice
    that's calling him

    and saying

    Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
    Hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
    Hey now there calling all the police
    but they won't get to us anyhow... No

    What does it take to be a super hero in my world?
    make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
    we can escape and then we'd skate away from all of this
    but no one ever does

    She's saying

    Hey now the straw dog's out in the street
    hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
    hey now they're calling all the police
    but they won't get to us
    No they'll never get to us
    hey now the straw dog's out in the street
    hey now there's chemicals in the clouds
    and they're calling all the police
    but they won't get to us
    na na na na na na na na now

    I am a Man of Constant Sorrow

    (In constant sorrow through his days)

    I am a man of constant sorrow
    I've seen trouble all my day.
    I bid farewell to old Kentucky
    The place where I was born and raised.
    (The place where he was born and raised)

    For six long years I've been in trouble
    No pleasures here on earth I found
    For in this world I'm bound to ramble
    I have no friends to help me now.

    [chorus] He has no friends to help him now

    It's fare thee well my old lover
    I never expect to see you again
    For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
    Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

    [chorus] Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

    You can bury me in some deep valley
    For many years where I may lay
    Then you may learn to love another
    While I am sleeping in my grave.

    [chorus] While he is sleeping in his grave.

    Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
    My face you'll never see no more.
    But there is one promise that is given
    I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

    [chorus] He'll meet you on God's golden shore.






    I just really dig the style

    Uriah Heep`s July morning;)


    There I was on a july morning
    Looking for love
    With the strength
    Of a new day dawning
    And the beautiful sun

    At the sound
    Of the first bird singing
    I was leaving for home
    With the storm
    And the night behind me
    And a road of my own

    With the day came the resolution
    Ill be looking for you
    La la la la :p

    I was looking for love
    In the strangest places
    Wasnt a stone
    That I left unturned
    Must have tried more
    Than a thousand faces
    But not one was aware
    Of the fire that burned

    In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
    La la la la

    There I was on a july morning
    I was looking for love
    With the strength
    Of a new day dawning
    And the beautiful sun

    And at the sound
    Of the first bird singing
    I was leaving for home
    With the storm
    And the night behind me
    Yeah, and a road of my own

    Id like to leave the country
    For a month of sundays
    Burn the town where I was born

    If only shed believe me
    Bellona belladonna

    Burn me out or bring me home

    And this is the one
    This is the one
    This is the one
    This is the one
    This is the one

    Loner
    ~Dave Katz
    Out on the road for the first time. A virgin running to the sun.Thinkin' 'bout my folks in a world so far from mine,Worrying about the eldest son.And they're asking me, "How will you survive boy?"And i say that I'll get by.And they say to me, "Don't forget to write boy."And I say, "When i have the time you know I'll try."'cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner.Won't you please leave me alone.As time went by I finally had a chance to visit. I almost wished i hadn't comeWhen we sat down to eat the questions started coming.Interrogation had begun.They started asking me, "Where'd you get that tan boy?"And I say, "Out on the beaches of life."And they say to me, "Why don't you get hitched boy?"And I say, " The last thing I need is a wife."And they say to me, "You better go to school boy."And I say, "When it's my time I'll know."And they're asking me, "What if you get drafted?"And I say, "If that's the case, then I won't go!"'cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner. I'm a loner.Won't you please leave me alone.And they say to me, "You don't need three dogs boy."And I say we all need a friend.And they're asking me, "Don't they give you hard times?"And I say, " Yeah, but they'll be there in the end."And they're asking me, "Who you look like Jesus?"And i say, "It ain't because I try."But when they're asking me, " How much do you party?"I say, "I just like to get high, and high, and high, and higher!"'cause I'm a loner. I'm a loner.And I'm a stoner. Won't you please leave me alone?

    Right now it is "Did I Step On Your Trumpet" by Danielson...

    Did I step on your trumpet or did I lump
    Lump them in with you
    (Did he step on your trumpet or did he lump?)

    I put you name on the ballot 'cause you should run
    Though you don't want to
    (He put your name on the ballot thought you should run)

    I been called the wet blanket
    By cranks who I out rank with no thanks
    Who do not have a clue

    Yes I know how to be quiet just one more thing
    I made you something
    (He thinks he knows how to be quiet made you something)

    I wrote for you a lovely sonnet
    Bout two great friends
    Yours truly and you

    We'll grant just one social skill
    Share a gesture of goodwill
    How I try to relate
    With my shipmates
    Then I just start blurting out
    The first thing on my mind

    How am I lookin in your frilly bonnet with the diamond on it
    I guess I better go
    (How's he looking in your frilly bonnet with the diamond on it?)

    I'm a people magnet
    When I wear your jacket
    Good luck gettin this

    Pleasing people
    Is so predictable
    We love you now
    Then stab you
    How many times I obsess
    And am making a mess
    Failing to impress you in all that i can't do

    Would you take care of my pet parrot
    And feed him these
    He speaks less than me
    (Would you take care of his pet parrot and kill him please?)

    You speak so much about my casket
    My body basket
    Did I do something wrong
    (You speak so much about his casket, his body basket)

    We'll grant one more social clue
    The landfill shall be home to you

    All my ships sailing relations
    Have finally found
    Who I am made out to be
    Me and free of

    Pleasing people
    Is so predictable
    We love you now
    Then stab you how many
    Times I obsess
    And am making a mess
    Failing to impress you
    In all that I can't

    Be just who you're made to be
    Pappa is so mighty pleased with thee



    I listened to it for an hour on repeat a couple days ago...

    Sample in a Jar by Phish..pure poetry man..amazing song.
    It's hidden far away

    But someday I may tell

    The tale of metal tangle

    When into your world I fell

    Without you now I wander soaking

    Secretly afraid

    'Cause in your grasp the fears don't last

    (And some of them have stayed)



    I wheeled around because I

    Didn't hear what you had said

    And saw you dancing with Elihu

    Up on Leemor's bed

    And I was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car

    The binding belt enclosing me, a Sample in a Jar



    And on the market stands unfolding

    With all their willies and their wares

    I shuffle by alert but numb

    To all the glances and the glares

    And I think of you unheeding

    All the times I raise my cup

    It's now I know that you knew that

    I'd soon end up end up



    Chorus



    You tricked me like the others

    And now I don't belong

    The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong

    Propagandhi, Back to the Motor League

    I like to party fucking hard
    I like my rock and roll the same
    Don't give a fuck if I burn out
    Don't give a fuck if I fade away

    So back to the Motor-League with me
    Before I'm forced to face the wrath of a well-heeled buying public
    Who live vicariously through
    Tortured-artist college-rock and floor-punching macho pabulum
    Back to the Motor League I go
    Once thought I drew a lucky hand
    Turned out to be a live grenade

    Oh my god!
    Holy shit!

    Play-acting "anarchists" and Mommy's-little-skinheads,
    Death-threats and sycophants and wieners drunk on straight-edge.
    Fuck off
    Who cares?
    I'd rather highlight Trip-Tiks than listen to your bullshit.
    Fuck off
    Who cares- about your stupid scenes, your shitty zines, the straw-men you build up to burn?

    It never ceases to amaze
    And as I'm suffering your perfection it reminds me of my own race
    To redress my own sad history of:
    Mouthed feet
    Eaten hats
    Teated bulls
    Amish phone-books
    Drunken brawls

    But what have we here?
    15 years later it still reeks of swill and Chickenshit Conformists
    With their fists in the air
    Like-father, like-son "rebels" bloated on korn, eminems and bizkits.
    Lord, hear our prayer:
    Take back your Amy Grant mosh-crews and fair-weather politics.
    Blow-dry my hair and stick me on a ten-speed.
    Back to the Motor League
    Back to the Motor League
    Back to the Motor League

    I guess life is just a popularity contest
    Success, the ability to perform within a framework of obedience
    Just ask the candy-coated Joy-Cam rock-bands
    selling shoes for venture-capitalists,
    silencing competing messages,
    Rounding off the jagged edges

    Lie In Our Graves by Dave Matthews pretty much says it all about how I live my life!

    When I step into the light
    My arms are open wide
    When I step into the light
    My eyes searching wildly
    Would you not like to be
    Sitting on top of the world with
    your legs hanging free
    Would you not like to be OK, OK, OK?
    When I'm walking by the water
    Splish splash me and you takin a bath
    When I'm walking by the water
    Come up through my toes
    To my ankles
    To my head
    To my soul
    And I'm blown away

    When I'm walking by the water
    Splish splash me and you takin a bath
    When I'm walking by the water
    Come up through my toes
    To my ankles
    To my head
    To my soul
    And I'm blown away
    I can't believe that we would
    lie in our graves
    Wondering if we had
    spent our living days well
    I can't believe that we would
    lie in our graves
    Dreaming of things that we
    might have been

    I can't believe that we would
    lie in our graves
    Wondering if we had
    spent our living days well
    I can't believe that we would
    lie in our graves
    Dreaming of things that we
    might have been

    Would you not like to be
    I can't believe that you
    would not like to be
    Would you not like to be
    ok, ok, ok

    Patience by GN'R

    1,2,1,2,3
    [whistle]
    Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
    I'm still alright to smile
    Girl, I think about you every day now
    Was a time when I wasn't sure
    But you set my mind at ease
    There is no doubt
    You're in my heart now

    Said, woman, take it slow
    It'll work itself out fine
    All we need is just a little patience
    Said, sugar, make it slow
    And we come together fine
    All we need is just a little patience
    (patience)
    Mm, yeah

    I sit here on the stairs
    'Cause I'd rather be alone
    If I can't have you right now
    I'll wait, dear
    Sometimes I get so tense
    But I can't speed up the time
    But you know, love
    There's one more thing to consider

    Said, woman, take it slow
    And things will be just fine
    You and I'll just use a little patience
    Said, sugar, take the time
    'Cause the lights are shining bright
    You and I've got what it takes
    To make it, We won't fake it,
    I'll never break it
    'cause I can't take it

    [whistle]
    ...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
    need a little patience, yeah
    just a little patience, yeah
    some more patience, yeah
    need some patience, yeah
    could use some patience, yeah
    gotta have some patience, yeah
    all it takes is patience,
    just a little patience
    is all you need *

    I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT
    JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT
    HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
    YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
    BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
    AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE
    BUT BABY THE NAME
    I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
    'CAUSE I NEED YOU
    YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
    OO, I NEED YOU
    WHOA, I NEED YOU
    OO, ALL THIS TIME **
    (ah)
