Lateralus by Tool

 

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.

red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

lets me see.

as below, so above and beyond, I imagine

drawn beyond the lines of reason.

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

 

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must

Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

 

Black then white are all i see in my infancy.

red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

lets me see there is so much more and

beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities.

as below, so above and beyond, I imagine

drawn outside the lines of reason.

Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

 

over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.

Reaching out to embrace the random.

Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

 

I embrace my desire to

I embrace my desire to

feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow

to feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,

to bathe in the fountain,

to swing on the spiral

to swing on the spiral

to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

 

With my feet upon the ground I move myeslf between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.

I feel it move across my skin.

I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.

what ever will bewilder me.

And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.

We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Spiral out. Keep going.

Cure - Pictures Of You lyrics

 

i've been looking so long at these pictures of

you that I almost beleive that they're real I've

been living so long with my pictures of you that

i almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel

remembering you standing quiet in the rain as

i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as

the sky fell in holding you close how I always

held close in your fear remembering you

running soft through the night you were bigger

and brigther than the snow and

screamed at the make-beleive screamed at the

sky and you finally found all your courage to

let it all go

remembering you fallen into my arms crying

for the death of your heart you were stone

white so delicate lost in the cold you were

always so lost in the dark remembering you

how you used to be slow drowned you were

angels so much more than everything oh hold

for the last time then slip away quietly open

my eyes but I never see anything

if only I had thought of the right words I could

have hold on to your heart if only I'd thought of

the right words I wouldn't be breaking apart all

my pictures of you

Looking So long at these pictures of you but i

never hold on to your heart looking so long for

the words to be true but always just breaking

apart my pictures of you

there was nothing in the world that I ever

wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart

there was nothing in the world that I ever

wanted more than to never feel the breaking

apart all my pictures of you

Dancing Cheek to Cheek

----------------------------------

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

 

Heaven, I'm in Heaven,

And the cares that hang around me thro' the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing, cheek to cheek.

 

Oh! I love to climb a mountain,

And to reach the highest peak,

But it doesn't thrill me half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek.

 

Oh! I love to go out fishing

In a river or a creek,

But I don't enjoy it half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek.

 

Dance with me

I want my arm about you;

The charm about you

Will carry me thro' to Heaven

 

I'm in Heaven,

and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak;

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

- Fred Astaire

 

Such a beautiful song :)

Wash Away - Vertical Horizon (live stages version, added lyrics)

 

(lead vocals sang by Keith Kane)

 

An old man lying by the road

Black is night

He's got his finger on the trigger

An easy target in sight

He's got no future, no family tree

He's got a three dollar bottle

And he drinks 'till he can't see

All night, all night.....

 

A young girl waiting on a line

Eight a.m., she's got a six month old burden

Willpower's withering thin

An unwed mother beaten by her trade

Each week her welfare reminds her

Of mistakes she never made

Oh no.....

 

Chorus

Now what has that to say about tomorrow

What has that to show for today

Noah thought to build an ark

Before the heavens washed it all away

Away...

 

A baby crying through a dream

An afterthought

Mother is seething for pleasure

After the poison is bought

His eyes are tainted, staggered is his breath

Oh God, he's addicted

Addicted to death

Oh, no...

 

(Keith Kane singing)

Two by two they enter now,

Don't you think you'll wonder how?

Can't you see he wants you there?

Take you by your golden hair. (6x)

 

(Matt Scannell singing)

I know things will change

I know things get better (2x)

If I call out to you, would you lend me your hand?

Would you save me from all that I might have been? (2x)

 

(Keith Kane singing)

The devil came upon me, he found me on my knees.

Said, "Son, you ought to be a purer man,

If you could see my spirit, baby, flowing through the breeze,"

Said, "Life could be so very grand."

And so it shall be written, so then it shall be,

Said, "So it shall be, therefore it shall be."

So it shall be written, so then it shall be

So it shall be written, so it shall be...yeah

 

Noooooo, now, no

Now what has that to say about tomorrow

What has that to show for today

Noah thought to build an ark

Before the heavens washed it all away

Away

 

see i put "lead vocals sang by Keith Kane" because they actually have 2 lead singers, Matt Scannell sings the lead vocals in a majority of them but Keith Kane sings the lead vocals on some of them also, it depends on who writes the song.

heres one of mine

ALEX CHILTON=THE REPLACEMENTS

 

If he was from Venus, would he feed us with a spoon?

If he was from Mars, wouldn't that be cool?

Standing right on campus, would he stamp us in a file?

Hangin' down in Memphis all the while.

 

(chorus:)

 

Children by the million sing for Alex Chilton when he comes 'round

They sing ";I'm in love. What's that song?

I'm in love with that song.";

 

Cerebral rape and pillage in a village of his choice.

Invisible man who can sing in a visible voice.

Feeling like a hundred bucks, exchanging good lucks face to face.

Checkin' his stash by the trash at St. Mark's place.

 

(chorus)

 

I never travel far, without a little Big Star

 

Runnin' 'round the house, Mickey Mouse and the Tarot cards.

Falling asleep with a flop pop video on.

If he was from Venus, would he meet us on the moon?

If he died in Memphis, then that'd be cool, babe.

 

(chorus)

 

REM-THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT(and i feel fine)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and

snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world

serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed

it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder

start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire

in a fire, representing seven games, a government

for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in

a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team

by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.

Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,

overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save

yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,

listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and

the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,

patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty

psyched.

 

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

 

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign

towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself

churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood

letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.

Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.

Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no

fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,

tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,

offer me alternatives and I decline.

 

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

 

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental

drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard

Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester

Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You

symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

 

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel

fine...fine...

 

(It's time I had some time alone)

Oh God, I'd write 99% of Bruce Springsteen's lyrics, but there just are too many... Almost 400 songs... I'll write just few...

 

 

"...Endless juke joints and Valentine drag

Where dancers scraped the tears

Up off the street dressed down in rags

Running into the darkness

Some hurt bad, some really dying

At night sometimes it seemed

You could hear the whole damn city crying

Blame it on the lies that killed us

Blame it on the truth that ran us down

You can blame it all on me, Terry

It don't matter to me now

When the breakdown hit at midnight

There was nothing left to say

But I hated him

And I hated you when you went away

Laying here in the dark

You're like an angel on my chest

Just another tramp of hearts

Crying tears of faithlessness..."

 

- BACKSTREETS (This is like my favourite song, it means so much to me and my best friend... :) )

 

 

"...Baby this town rips the bones from your back

It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap

We gotta get out while we're young

'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run..."

 

- BORN TO RUN (This is like "the" best rock'n'roll song ever written!!! Amazing!!)

 

 

Only few lines from two of his songs, if I write even a little bit more, I'm doomed, and so are you... :roll:

Heart In Hand by Vertical Horizon (original version)

 

I know it's been a long road

To get these towns behind me and I

Will gladly reap what we may sow I am

There for you and you're there for me

 

Pictures and photographs

Memories and windows

Goodbyes and epitaphs

Heartbeats and hellos

 

[Chorus]

Are you waiting for

Heart in hand

Woman and man

See me where I stand I am

Heart

Heart in hand

 

These fields may hold a hunting ground

But the wolves are far behind me and I

Hear the howls and the distant sound

Of the messengers lost at sea

 

Into the morning light

Followed by madness

Reach through the empty fight

Searching through sadness

 

[Chorus]

 

I know it's been a long road

To get these fears behind me and I

Will gladly reap what we may sow I am

There for you and you're there for me

 

Pictures and photographs

Memories and windows

Goodbyes and epitaphs

Heartbeats and hellos

 

[Chorus]

Clear Blue Air

 

Naked and faking in a poorly lit stairway

Then we were getting down on a dance floor

Oh my love where did you go?

She turned her body and soul into...

 

Air...I need you like Air

Water...I need you like water

 

I've been away for a very long time

The roads and thier refuge,

Keep you out of my mind

Arise arise, I wanna take off and drive

And throw my arms into, the clear blue...

 

Air...I need you like Air

Water...I need you like water

 

Here she comes,

Buzzing through my memory,

Here's the ghost,

Perfume trickles through the...

 

Air...I need you like Air

Water...I need you like water

 

So try, try to reach me

Even if you cant see me

I'll be around under the clear blue air

MATT GOOD

 

"I wish I could get my head out of the sand

Because I think we'd make a good team

And you would keep my fingernails clean.

But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize

Cause I can't even look in your eyes

Without shakin, and I ain't fakin

I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon!"

Echoes by Floyd.

 

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air

And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves

The echo of a distant tide

Comes willowing across the sand

And everything is green and submarine

And no one showed us to the land

And no one knows the wheres or whys

But something stirs and

Something tries

And starts to climb towards the light

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 no one calls us to the land

And no one crosses there alive

And no one speaks

And no one tries

And no one flies around the sun

And now this is the day you fall

Upon my waking eyes

Inviting and inciting me to rise

And through the window in the wall

Comes streamin in on sunlight wings

A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies

And no one makes me close my eyes

So I throw the windows wide

And call to you across the sky.
