Random lyrics thread part II

I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears, but it's all right

Cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's all right
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive.

Shoe is on the hand that fits, that's all there really is to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, but it's all right

Oh well, a touch of grey, kinda suits you anyway,
That was all I had to say, but it's all right

from 'touch of grey' by the grateful dead

 

One trillion dollars could buy a heart a soul.

One trillion dollars - Anti Flag.

 

This is how the lucky feel
How the blessed think
Like daybreak in spring
The sun on a spring morning

But how do I feel
In my gloomy dephts?

Like the flat brink of a cloud
Like a dark night in autumn
A black winter day
No, darker than that
Gloomier than an autumn night

Amorphis - Black winter day

 

Your scared of these things, your haunted dreams
They won't leave until they've been faced and defeated
Your bleeding the blood of hate
Disguised as a waiting game for you to take others out with the bait
Being LIES, scandalous deceitful faith
That you have in no one but yourself you selfish _____
It's your life you wasted
It's your life you hate
And only blame yourself for the pain that you created
It's debatable whether or not life is stable
Life is constantly changing so be extremely careful
Who you trust, who you love, and who you care for
Cause it's not all for one no one wants to share in your
Hopes, your dreams, your cries, your tears, your screams, your lies
Your fears you hide your loneliness inside
Don't try to disguise your brokeness with pride
Just be true to yourself, and your limit will be the Sky!

Morals - TheStoryTeller

 

The morning breeze that ripples the surface of the sea
The crying of the seagulls that hover over me
I see it and I hear it, but how can I explain
The wonder of the moment:
To be alive,
To feel the sun that follows every rain.



from "Move On" by ABBA

 

Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows - The goat

There is an old goat at my window-pane,
standing upright in a frock-coat,
somewhat earth-coloured and plain.
He is staring down at me
and the place where i have chosen to hide
in the futile attempt to dissolve...
I discovered this cell as a child.

There is a medicine-case, he calls "being",
which the goat carries under his arm.
He says, if i only allow him to enter -
I shall never come come to any harm.
He is giving quite an importance to
his frightning and urgent concern, he says:
"I have come to be your transformer
I'm your doctor, half goat and half man."

He says that this house will soon crumble,
and that I am going to suffer as it falls.
He says: "Let me in now and I'll be your savior...
I'm your healer ... whith hooves and horns!"

 

Death - Empty Words]

Ashes and promises share a bond
Through the winds of change
Words are blown away
When visions that should be
Are tattooed in your mind
The power to let go
Is sometimes hard to find

The answer cannot be found
In the writing of others
Or the words of a trained mind
In a precious world of memories
We find ourselves confined

Claws so razor sharp
Ripping at the spirit

[Chorus:]
Promises a potential to hurt
Is anything real?
When forever is to be until
Deep inside, in the world of empty words...
No escaping from those haunting
empty words...

Do you ever feel it?
A craving that is so strong
To by thought rewind in order to find

Expectations that shined through the doubt
That soon would turn into the price
Of what a word will be worth
When tomorrow comes
To be and we are left
Standing on our own-
And seeing what is real...

 

Ha good one! These guys have some mad stuff. I love their melancholic folkish songs most.


Piece of Iron Maiden's Infinite dreams:

There's got to be just more to it
Than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again

 

Spent my days with a woman unkind, Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start, Going To
California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there with love
in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane, never let them
tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey, wondered how
tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
as the children of the sun began to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the Gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
[ Lyrics provided by www.mp3lyrics.org ]
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
I'll meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings... la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

Little Boxes

Little boxes little boxes
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes on the hillside
Little boxes all the same

There's a pink one
and a green one
and a blue one
and a yellow one

And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same

And the people in the houses
all went to the university
where they were put in boxes
and they came out all the same

and there's doctors
and lawyers
and business executives

and they're all made out of ticky-tacky
and they all look just the same

and they all play on the golf course
and drink their martinis dry
and they all have little children
and the children go to school

and the children go to summer camp
and then to the university
where they are put in boxes
and they come out all the same

and the boys go into business
and marry and raise a family
in boxes made of ticky-tacky
and they all look all the same

there's a pink one
and a green one
and a blue one
and a yellow one

and they're all made out of ticky-tacky
and they all look just the same

 

blood of eden : peter gabriel

i caught sight of my reflection
i caught it in the window
i saw the darkness in my heart
i saw the signs of my undoing
they had been there from the start

and the darkness still has work to do
the knotted chord's untying
the heated and the holy
oh they're sitting there on high
so secure with everything they're buying

in the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
with the man in the woman and the woman in the man
in the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
we wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

my grip is surely slipping
i think I've lost my hold
yes I think I've lost my hold
i cannot get insurance any more
they don't take credit, only gold
is that a dagger or a crucifix I see
you hold so tightly in your hand
and all the while the distance grows between you and me
i do not understand

in the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
with the man in the woman and the woman in the man
in the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
we wanted the the union oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

at my request you take me in
in that tenderness I am floating away
no certainty, nothing to rely on
holding still for a moment
what a moment this is
oh for a moment of forgetting
a moment of bliss
oh....

i can hear the distant thunder
of a million unheard souls
of a million unheard souls
watch each one reach for creature comfort
for the filling of their holes

in the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
i feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man
in the blood of Eden lie the woman and the man
i feel the man in the woman and the woman in the man

in the blood of Eden we have done everything we can
in the blood of Eden, so we end as we began
with the man in the woman and the woman in the man
it was all for the union, oh the union of the woman, the woman and the man

 

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When life has ended and my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

Johnny Cash

 

and those that will judge
will say you're aloof
but you know the truth is a seed
you know what you need
is a conflagration
cause when I see the blood
and the bits of your broken tooth
it gives me the proof that I need
it's the proof that you bleed
it's a revelation, it's a revelation
it's a revelation

I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
propped up in the hardware store
propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
of those legionnaires with 2 by 4's
as they're marching off to war
yeah, they're marching off to war

I didn't know what you were made of
color of your blood what you're afraid of
are you made of calcium or are you carbon based
and if you're made of calcium, I'll have to take a taste
cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
and it's one sure-fire way to know if you're mx-missile proof
oh no, or if you're just aloof

you were in the ground in late November
when the leaves and earth were damp
did you, did you think they would remember
how you almost made state champ
cause when you're running for the game against Alfonsus
and you fell upon the ground and chipped your tooth
that might really have surprised us
to learn that maybe you weren't really mx-missile proof

i thought you were a life-sized paper doll
and you were propped up in a hardware store
you were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
of those legionnaires with 2 by 4's
as they're marching off to war
yeah, they're marching off to war
oh, they're marching

Skyforger - Kauja pie Plakaniem, Kauja pie Veisiem
("Battle of Plakani, battle of Veisi")
From the album Latviešu Strēlnieki (Latvian Riflemen)

Tas bija pirmas latviesu strelnieku uzvaretas kaujas
1915.gada 29.oktobri un 23.novembri, kas palidzeja apturet
vacu armijas virzisanos uz prieksu. 1.Daugavgrivas strelnieku
bataljona pirma rota virsnieka Fridriha Brieza vadiba
sakava cetrreiz lielakus vacu spekus.

Nakti vismelnaka dzimat
Jus, ielu un renstelu zenki
Un tomer jus esat lieli
Jo Jus pirmie gajat gaismas sviduma vaja
Kauja pie Plakaniem, kauja pie Veisiem
No nameliem sikiem un greiziem
Pretim smaidosai Misai un Iecavai
Ar vienu domu -
Aizsargat celu uz Rigu.

Kauja pie Plakaniem, Kauja pie Veisiem
Pirma, mirdzosa, veiksma.
Dzirdiet, ka kauju gajejai pirmajai rotai
Un vinas vadonim Briedim
Soli, no purvajiem kapdamies, muziba iedim.

"Ei, puikas, kur gribat Jus list ta,
mes zinam tas vietas, staviet,
tur purvs prieksa un nave!"
Bet Jus tikai uzsitat knipu un teicat:
"Ei, cali, ne viri" -
un pari purvam tai nakti Jus lidat
bez rimas,
jo Jusu ienaids un sikstums
parverta vizosa grida purvu dunaino ravu.

Bet tagad es saku, lai kur es stavu,
No Kekavas , Juglas un Tirela es jutu
Ieplustam sevi divainu stravu,
Kas like manai sirdij un muskuliem augsup tiekties
Un es kliedzu: "Pieminiet Misu un Iecavu,
Pieminiet savus pulkus, visus astonus!"

Kauja pie Plakaniem, kauja pie Veisiem
Ta parverta strelnieku asinis teiksma;
Kauja pie Plakaniem, Kauja pie Veisiem
Pirma, mirdzosa un veiksma!

 

His guitar swung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind
ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

He left home when he was seventeen
The rest of the world he had longed to see
And everybos knows boss
A rolling stone gathers no moss

Now you'd probly call him a tramp
But it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile

Now Some people say he had a girl back home
messed around and did a bit a wrong
They me tell it kinda hurt him bad
Kinda made him feel pretty sad

I couldn't say what went through his mind
Anyway he left the world behind
Everybody knows the same old story
in love or war you can lose your glory

Now you'd probably a-call him a tramp
But I know it goes a little deeper than that
He's a highway chile



Walk on brother

His old guitar slung across his back
His dusty boots is his cadillac
Flamin' hair just a-blowin' in the wind
ain't seen a bed in so long it's a sin

Now you may call him a tramp
but I know it goes a little deeper then that
He's a High Way chile

Walk on brother, Don't let no one stop ya
Highway Chile
ya ya ya

highway chile
rollin stone
rollin down the highway
(mumble)
Highway chile X2

 

68 beats - Replay the Night

Touching this place, will it bring me near you
Crossing the line, will it bring you near me
Look in your eyes for a sign of life in me
Don't trust that smile and all the things that it could mean

Watching the stars, will it bring me near you
Losing some sleep, if it brings you near me
Turn up the lights, in the darkness we can't see
Rerun the night and all the things that it could mean
It could mean

It's so easy, losing track of time
It's so easy, replay the night

It's so easy, losing track of time
It's so easy, replay the night

 

Great song! I love Hendrix, but thats obvious i think.

Radiohead - Fake plastic Trees

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
Just to get rid of itself.
And it wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out.

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love.
But I cant help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out.

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted,
All the time, all the time, ohhh... ohh...

 

These are lyrics to one of my songs.....


do you mind me asking?
i think i could soothe
the mixed up mind you've got
working for you,
placing your faith in your money
so you can improve.

you've got 30 things but you're paying up on 4,
now you can see why you're doing your chores,
cause you pay and you pay and you pay
for the things that you own,
and they're making you smile less
they're making you weathered and old.

we grew up on the same block, don't think i don't know who you are,
well here comes your mother and father and here's what they say:
"my boy's doing alright but we think that he's going insane".

play out you're options although you may lose,
light a fire and burn all the clues,
so no one will know what you did or can tell what you do,
you've given too much with your hands in the air,
always complaining that shit isn't fair,
but you're playing a game where the lines are drawn up on the fly,
and the words that you say aren't you ,
they're from some other guy!

Jimi Hendrix-All along the watchtower

There must be some kind
of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level along the line
Nobody of it is worth

No reason to get exited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate



So let us not talk falsely now
The hour's getting late

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were aproaching
And the wind began to howl

 

who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman i would know
and hold like the breeze
half as tight as both eyes closed

and who's seen jezebel?
she went walking where the cedars line the road
her blouse on the ground
where the dogs were hungry, roaming

saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and wholly
jezebel, it's we that you are for
only"

who's seen jezebel?
she was born to be the woman we could blame
make me a beast half as brave
i'd be the same

who's seen jezebel?
she was gone before i ever got to say
"lay here my love
you're the only shape i'll pray to, jezebel"

who's seen jezebel?
will the mountain last as long as i can wait
wait like the dawn
how it aches to meet the day

who's seen jezebel?
she was certainly the spark for all i've done
the window was wide
she could see the dogs come running

saying, "wait, we swear
we'll love you more and wholly
jezebel, it's we that you are for
only"
