Favorite Song Lyric

wow man, when i read this thread i was going to post the same song.

 

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

But You see it's not me,
It's not my family
In your head,in your
Head they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head,
In your head they are cryin'
In your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks
In your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie


heard this song for the first time the other day and i really like the singer

zombie- the cranberries

 

i don't think johnny cash is the original writer of this song- nin first recorded it in 1994 i believe.

 

Rehab-"Sittin at a Bar". Listen to it, if you haven't heard it. It's funny as hell.

Bartender, I really did it this time
Broke my parole to have a good time
When I got home, it was 6am
The door was locked, so I kicked it in
She was trippin on the bills
I think she was high on some pills
She threw my shit out into the yard
Then she called me a bum and slapped me real hard
And in my drunken stupor, I did what I should've never done
Now I'm sittin here, talkin to you, drunk and on the run

(Sittin at a bar on the inside
Waitin for my ride on the outside
She broke my heart in the trailerpark
So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car
Crashed that piece of shit and then stepped away)

Oh no, I'll probably get 10 years
So just give me beers till they get here
Yeah, I know the sun is comin
And yall are probably gettin ready for closin up
But I'm trying to drown my soul
I'm tired of this life on a dirtroad
Everything that I love is gone
And I'm tired of hangin on

(She's got me sittin at a bar on the inside
Waitin for my ride on the outside
She stole my heart in the trailerpark
So I jacked the keys to her fuckin car
And crashed that piece of shit and then stepped away)

 

Pink Floyd: High Hopes


beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
our troughts strayed constandly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begin

Along the long road and on down the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfuried
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Eneumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many time

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

 

Sure it would be great for bands to make millions but when they get to that level they always loose integrity. Most of the bands I love have never had commecial.... mainstream success. Call me selfish but I love seeing a band I like with only 2000 other people, I've been to those 15k outdoor shows, 30k indoor shows... it's just not the same vibe

 

nah. the minute a band gets big, it's more expensive to go see them play. and their music 9 times out of 10 gets worse than their 'original' stuff.

 

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad


Im a Dido fan

 

Nigga wish he could
I wish a nigga would

 

it never makes no sense
It never makes no sense
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
Armegeddon is a deadly day
Armegeddon is a deadly way
They're coming for you everyday
While senators on a holiday
The army recruiters in the parking lot
Hustling kids, they're juggling pot
"Listen young man, listen to my plan
Gonna make you money, gonna make you a man.
(bomb, bomb)
Here's what you get, an M16 and a kevlar vest
You might come home with one less leg but this thing will surely keep a bullet out your chest
So come on, come on, sign up, come on
This one's nothing like Vietnam
Except for the bullets, except for the bombs
Except for the youth that's gone"
So we keep it on, 'til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
So we keep it on, 'til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
Tell me president tell me if you will
How many people does a smart bomb kill?
How many of them do you think we got?
The general says we never miss shot
And we never ever ever keep a body count
We're killing so efficiently we can't keep count
In the afghan hills the rebels still fighting
Opium fields keep on providing
The best heroin that money can buy and
No body knows where Osama bin hiding
The press conferences keep on lying
Like we don't know
So we keep it on, 'til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
So we keep it on, 'til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
So Mr engine, engine, number 9
Machine guns on a New York transit line
The war for oil is a war for the beast
the War on terror is a war on peace
Telling you they're gonna protect you
Telling you that they support the troops and
Don't let 'em fool you with their milk and honey
No, they only want your money
One step forward and 2 step back
One step forward and 2 step back
Why do veterans get no respect
PTSD and a broken back
Take a look at where you money's gone (seen)
Take a look at what they spent it on
No excuses, no illusions
Light up your lighter, bring 'em home
So we keep it on, 'til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
So we keep it on, til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
So we keep it on, til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire
So we keep it on, til you're coming home
higher and higher
Fire, fire, fire, light up your lighter
Fire, fire, fire

 

im a closet case... i have her cd here in the house shhhhhhhh

 

1."there's a heart in that cage with a constant tempo change"
2."faith and desire and the swing of your hips"
3."rebel rousers the life long rockers and the dead end kids. we're all fine just like glitter and gold"
4."i'm in my new bunny suit, and in it i feel cute."
5."butterflies are passive aggressive, but they're beautiful."
6."you fought for stalin. i fought for freedom. you believe in authority. i believe in myself."

 

I'm the stronghold on your neck that doesn't let you breathe
Stronger than the fake image of God in which you believe
More dangerous than your ignorant ass could ever percieve
A European virus, mutated in Africa, overseas
Transported by mosquitoes and fleas to where you live
So lock yourself in your house with your wife and your kids

Immortal Technique

 

My fav Floyd song Echoes.. Fav Line from it.

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can.


and crap my lighters dead.. you never find that out til it's too late

 

"Official midgets jack me off"

 

These arnt my favorite but I have them stuck in my head REaLLLLY badly right now to the point that I dreamt about the song last night, maybe writing it all down will get it out of my head? Hopefully.

Raisins come from grapes,
People come from apes,
I come from Canada.
I came in first place,
In a non-existent race,
To rebuild the Parthenon.
The Parthenon’s in Greece,
Or was it in Grease 2?
I can’t keep my movies straight.
When I make mistakes,
I use a lot of salt,
Salt makes mistakes taste great.
I’ve got orange pants,
I wear them when I dance,
But I don’t get out that much.

You are just too loud,
I passed you in a crowd,
Thank you and keep in touch.
I don’t speak Chinese,
Not even words like ‘Please’,
‘Thank you’ or ‘How are you’.
But I can parle Francais,
I parled a bit today,
It seemed like the thing to do.

It's from the Barenaked Ladies childrens album, and I sang it for like 45 minutes yesterday when I was giving the kid I babysit a bath, and now its carved into my brain! Wayyyy to catchy

 

The Cranberries are Irish haha
i havnt listened to this song in ages but i love the lyrics


We can chase down all our enemies
Bring them to their knees
we can bomb the world to pieces
but we cant bomb it into peace

Spearhead & Micheal Franti - Bomb The World

 

Big A, little A, bouncing B
The system might have got you but it won't get me

1 - 2 - 3 - 4

External control are you gonna let them get you?
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you

Hello, hello, hello, this is the Lord God, can you hear?
Hellfire and damnation's what I've got for you down there
On earth I have ambassadors, archbishop, vicar, pope
We'll blind you with morality, you'd best abandon hope,
We're telling you you'd better pray cos you were born in sin
Right from the start we'll build a cell and then we'll lock you in
We sit in holy judgement condemning those that stray
We offer our forgiveness, but first we'll make you pay

External control are you gonna let them get you?
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you

Hello, hello, hello, now here's a massage from your queen
As figurehead of the status quo I set the social scene
I'm most concerned about my people, I want to give them peace
So I'm making sure they stay in line with my army and police
My prisons and my mental homes have ever open doors
For those amongst my subjects who dare to ask for more
Unruliness and disrespect are things I can't allow
So I'll see the peasants grovel if they refuse to bow

External control are you gonna let them get you?
Do you wanna be a prisoner in the boundaries they set you?
You say you want to be yourself, by christ do you think they'll let you?
They're out to get you get you get you get you get you get you get you

Introducing the Prime Sinister, she's a mother to us all
Like the Dutch boy's finger in the dyke her arse is in the wall
Holding back the future waiting for the seas to part
If Moses did it with his faith, she'll do it with an army
Who at times of threatened crisis are certain to be there
Guarding national heritage no matter what or where
Palaces for kings and queens, mansions for the rich
Protection for the wealthy, defence of privilege
They've learnt the ropes In Ireland, engaged in civil war
Fighting for the ruling classes in their battle against the poor
So Ireland's just an island? It's an island of the mind
Great Britain? Future? Bollocks, you'd better look behind
Round every other corner stands P.C. 1984
Guardian of the future, he'll implement the law
He's there as a grim reminder that no matter what you do
Big brothers system's always there with his beady eyes on you
From God to local bobby, in home and street and school
They've got your name and number while you've just got their rule
We've got to look for methods to undermine those powers
It's time to change the tables. The future must be ours

Big A, little A, bouncing B
The system might have got you but it won't get me

Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
I am he and she is she but you're the only you
No one else has got your eyes, can see the things you see
It's up to you to change your life and my life's up to me
The problems that you suffer from are problems that you make
The shit we have to climb through is the shit we choose to take
If you don't like the life you live, change it now it's yours
Nothing has effects if you don't recognise the cause
If the programme's not the one you want, get up, turn off the set
It's only you that can decide what life you're gonna get
If you don't like religion you can be the antichrist
If your tired of politics you can be an anarchist
But no one ever changed the church by pulling down a steeple
And you'll never change the system by bombing number ten
Systems just aren't made of bricks they're mostly made of people
You may send them into hiding, but they'll be back again
If you don't like the rules they make, refuse to play their game
If you don't want to be a number, don't give them your name
If you don't want to be caught out, refuse to hear their question
Silence is a virtue, use it for your own protection
They'll try to make you play their game, refuse to show your face
If you don't want to be beaten down, refuse to join their race
Be exactly who you want to be, do what you want to do
I am he and she is she but you're they only you


Always liked those lyrics from Big A Little A by Crass

 

"...gotta get up and be somebody...." Ol Dirty Bastard
"....how are you so burnt, when you're barely on fire?...." Courtney Love

 

I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
till the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, Ive been afraid of changing
cause Ive built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
Im getting older too

Oh, take my love, take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe the landslide will bring it down
