Rain- Jackopierce

 

Silent rows of strengh thy men stood clear

The fog clung to the ground

To the sounds it could hear

The footstep, the hoof beat, the steel under sky

The whistle, the birdcall, the severe look in the eyes

 

He's nineteen years old, he's got a gun at his side

The more he looks around he knows the president lied

Seduced him, reduced him appealed to the man

With vivid colored fliers and bright arm bands

 

They will meet them in the trenches

But they won't meet eye to eye

Looking down the barrels the opposition will cry

There's hatred in the morning, blood flows in the day

They will all return home and

The skies will give way for

 

Rain, it flows down

Cleansing, freedom, children

Rain

 

There's disdain, propane, powder and shot

Racism runs free but love is left to rot

There's a mad house, a play house, a place for the old

Got a place for the hungry and a place for the cold

I'm diving, I'm sinking down into the sea

It will rise up to heaven and come back down on me as

 

Yes, Rain, it flows down

Cleansing, Freedom, Children

Rain

 

She walks into the garage, pulls the door to the ground

Eases behind the wheel and she puts the seat down

Ignition, submissions, salut it's time to send

Her poor grieving parents will never see her again

 

It's late night, there's pistols, there's daggers and drugs

I'll kill nine, I'll take mine, no police, no mugs

It's Greenwich, it's Dallas, it's Beverly Hills

Blood lives taken for sweet, short thrills

 

Rain, it flows down

Cleansing, freedom, children

Rain

 

There's disdain, propane, powder and shot

Racism runs free but love is left to rot

There's a mad house, a play house, a place for the old

Got a place for the hungry and a place for the cold

I'm diving, I'm sinking down into the sea

It will rise up to heaven and come back down on me as

 

Rain, it flows down

Cleansing, freedom, children

Rain

We blew the doors didn't we?

Pissed in their champagne

And did a real thing didn't we?

Gave ourselves a name

And peeled away the shame

I wanted to explode

To pull my ribs apart

And let the sun inside

 

Red stain blossoms

And all you have is kisses

 

And when the sunshine

Throwin' me a lifeline

Finds it's way into my room

All I need is you

 

We blew the doors didnt we?

Pissed in their champagne

And did a real thing didnt we?

 

To pull my ribs apart

And let the sun inside

To pull my ribs apart

And let the sun inside

 

Red stain blossoms

And all you have is kisses

All you have is kisses

Red stain blossoms

And all you have is kisses

All you have is kissed

 

We called that love

We called that love

We called that love

We called that love

We called that love

We called that love

 

And when the sunshine

Throwin' me a lifeline

Finds it's way into my room

All I need is you

 

And when the sunshine

Throwin' me a lifeline

Finds it's way into my room

All I need is you

Forever Young- Rod Stewart (Originally by Bob Dylan)

 

May the Good Lord be with ya down every road you roam

And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home

And may you grow to be proud , dignified , and true

And do unto others as you would have done to you

Be courageous and be brave

And in my heart you'll always stay

Forever young (forever young )

Forever young (forever young )

May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong

Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain

And in my heart you will remain

Forever young (forever young )

Forever young (forever young )

For ever young

For ever young

Yeah !

And when you fin'lly fly away I'll be hopin' that I served ya well

For all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell

But whatever road ya choose

I'm right behind you, win or lose

Forever young (forever young )

Forever young (forever young )

For ever young

For ever young

For! For! ever young

For ever young

 

Bound For The Floor- Local H

 

Born to be down

I've learned all my lessons before now

Born to be down

I think you'll get used to it

 

 

And you just don't get it

you keep it copacetic

And you learn to accept it

You know it's so pathetic

 

 

Born to be down

I think that I've said this before now

Born to be down

What good is confidence?

 

 

And you just don't get it

You keep it copacetic

And you learn to accept it

You know it's so pathetic

And you don't

Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd

 

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,

blue skies from pain.

Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?

A smile from a veil?

Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?

Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?

And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have you found? The same old fears.

Wish you were here.

INCUBUS - WISH YOU WERE HERE

 

I dig my toes into the sand

the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds

strewn across a blue blanket

i lean against the wind

pretend that I am weightless

and in this moment i am happy

happy

 

I wish you were here

 

I lay my head onto the sand

the sky resembles a backlit canopy

with holes punched in it

I'm counting UFO's

I signal them with my lighter

and in this moment I am happy

happy

 

I wish you were here

 

The world's a roller coaster and I am not

strapped in maybe I should hold with care

but my hands are busy in the air

 

:)

Mmmm yeah, Incubus rules.

 

The People That We Love (Speed Kills)- Bush

 

Speed kills

Coming down the mountain

Speed kills

Coming down the street

Speed kills

With the presence of mind and

Speed kills

If you know what I mean

 

Got to feel

Woke up inside again

Got to feel

Less broke more fixed

Got to feel

When I got outside myself

Got to feel

When I touched your lips

 

The things we do

To the people that we love

The way we break

If there's something we can't take

Destroy the world

That we took so long to make

 

We expect her gone

For some time

I wish her safe from harm

To find yourself

In a foreign land

Another refugee

Outsider refugee

 

How's it feel

Coming up roses

How's it feel

She's coming up sweet

How's it feel

When it's all in spite of you

How's it feel

When she's out of your reach

 

The things we do

To the people that we love

The way we break

If there's something in the way

Destroy the world

That we took so long to make

 

We expect her gone

For some time

I wish her safe from harm

To find yourself

In a foreign land

Another refugee

Outsider refugee

 

What happened to you? (x4)

 

The things we do

To the people that we love

The way we break

If there's something we can't take

Destroy the world

That we took so long to make

 

The things we do

To the people that we love (x3)

The things we do

To the people that we

That we love

Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes

 

yellow bird flying

gets shot in the wing

good year for hunters

and christmas parties

and i hate

and i hate

and i hate

and i hate elevator music

the way we fight

the way i'm left here silent

 

oh these little earthquakes

here we go again

these little earthquakes

doesn't take much to

rip us into pieces

 

we danced in graveyards

with vampires till dawn

we laughed in the faces of kings

never afraid to burn

and i hate

and i hate

and i hate

and i hate disintegration

watching us wither

black winged roses

that safely changed their COLOR

 

oh these little earthquakes

here we go again

these little earthquakes

doesn't take much to

rip us into pieces

 

i can't reach you

can't reach you

give me life

give me pain

give me myself again

 

oh these little earthquakes

here we go again

these little earthquakes

doesn't take much to

rip us into pieces

The Strokes - Someday

 

In many ways they'll miss the good old days

Someday, someday

Yeah it hurts to say but I want you to stay

Sometimes, sometimes

When we was young oh man did we have fun

Always, always

Promises they break before they're made

Sometimes, sometimes

 

Oh, my ex says i'm lacking in depth

I will do my best

You say you wanna stay by my side

Darling your head's not right

I see alone we stand together we fall apart

Yeah, I think I'll be alright

I'm working so I won't have to try so hard

Tables they turn sometimes.

Oh someday.

I ain't wasting no more time.

 

Trying, trying.

 

And now my fears, they come to me in threes

So I, sometimes

They fade my friend, you say the strangest things

I find, sometimes

 

Oh, my ex says i'm lacking in depth

Say I will try my best

You say you wanna stay by my side

Darling your head's not right

I see alone we stand together we fall apart

Yeah, I think I'll be alright

I'm working so I won't have to try so hard

Tables they turn sometimes.

Oh someday

 

I ain't wasting no more time

 

:cool:

River - Joni Mitchell

 

It’s coming on christmas

They’re cutting down trees

They’re putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

But it don’t snow here

It stays pretty green

I’m going to make a lot of money

Then I’m going to quit this crazy scene

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

 

He tried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty

Made me weak in the knees

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I’m so hard to handle

I’m selfish and I’m sad

Now I’ve gone and lost the best baby

That I ever had

Oh I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

Oh I wish I had a river

I made my baby say goodbye

 

It’s coming on christmas

They’re cutting down trees

They’re putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

Starsailor - Some Of Us Lyrics

 

heard you today

That isn't my name

You were fast asleep

Forget what he did

Can I be the kid for your soul to keep?

 

Some of us laugh, some us cry

Some of us smoke, some of us lie

But it's all just a way that we cope with our lives

 

I've grown to see

The philosophy of my own mistrust

We all have our faults

But mine come in waves

That you turn into rust

 

Chorus

 

I've been hanging onto something

You keep laughing, awe inspiring

 

Chorus x 2

 

My wondering soul found solace at last

I wanted to know how long it would last

She's losing control, she's coming down fast

The heart that I stole, I'm not giving back

Never giving back

 

 

I love that song sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much :smug:

 

I wanna make a collage for my family with a song. someone know a song who would fit for families? :huh:

Aqueous Transmission- Incubus

 

Im floating down a river

Oars freed from their homes long ago

Lying face up on the floor

Of my vessel

I marvel at the stars

And feel my heart overflow

 

Further down the river

 

Two weeks without my lover

Im in this boat alone

Floating down a river named emotion

Will I make it back to shore?

Or drift into the unknown

 

Further down the river

 

Im building an antenna

Transmissions will be sent

When I am through

Maybe we can meet again

Further down the river

And share what we both discovered

Then revel in the view

 

Further down the river

 

Im floating down a river

Shackled- Vertical Horizon

 

For so long my life's been sewn up tight inside your hold

And it leaves me there without a place to call my own

 

I know now what shadows can see

There's no point in running 'less you run with me

It's half the distance through the open door

Before you cut me down

Again

Let me introduce you to the end

 

And I feel the cold wind blowing beneath my wings

It always leads me back to suffering

But I will soar until the wind whips me down

Leaves me beaten on unholy ground again

 

So tired now of paying my dues

I start out strong but then I always lose

It's half the distance before you leave me behind

It's such a waste of time

 

Chorus

'Cause my shackles

You won't be

And my rapture

You won't believe

And deep inside you will bleed for me

 

So here I slave inside of a broken dream

Forever holding on to splitting seams

So take your piece and leave me alone to die

I don't need you to keep my faith alive

 

I know now what trouble can be

And why it follows me so easily

It's half the distance through the open door

Before you shut me down

Again

Let me introduce you to the end

 

Chorus

 

Though you know you care

 

Chorus

 

And my laughter

You won't hear

The faster

I disappear

And time will burn your eyes to tears

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - I COULD DIE FOR YOU

 

 

Something inside the cards

I know is right

Don't want to live

Somebody elses life

This is what I want to be

And this is what I give to you

Because I get it free

She smiles while I do my time

 

I could die for you

Oh this life I choose

 

I'm here to be your only go - between

To tell you of the sights

These eyes have seen

What I really want to do is

Turn it into motion

Beauty that I can't abuse

You know that I'd use my senses to

You can see that

It's only everywhere

I'd take it all and then

I'd find a way to share

 

Come along and go

Along with me

Wander with me yo

It's all for free

 

I could die for you

Whatchu wanna do

Oh this life I choose

 

Come again and tell me

Where you want to go

What it means for me

To be with you alone

Close the door and

No one has to know

How we are

 

Come along and go

Along with me

Wander with me yo

It's all for free

 

I could die for you

Whatchu want to do

Oh this life I choose

A song with some ties to Michigan. :)

 

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald- Gordon Lightfoot

 

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead

When the skies of November turn gloomy

With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more

Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.

That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed

When the gales of November came early.

 

The ship was the pride of the American side

Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin

As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most

With a crew and good captain well seasoned

Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms

When they left fully loaded for Cleveland

And later that night when the ship's bell rang

Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

 

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound

And a wave broke over the railing

And every man knew, as the captain did too,

T'was the witch of November come stealin'.

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait

When the Gales of November came slashin'.

When afternoon came it was freezin' rain

In the face of a hurricane west wind.

 

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.

Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.

At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said

Fellas, it's been good t'know ya

The captain wired in he had water comin' in

And the good ship and crew was in peril.

And later that night when his lights went outta sight

Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

 

Does any one know where the love of God goes

When the waves turn the minutes to hours?

The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay

If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.

They might have split up or they might have capsized;

May have broke deep and took water.

And all that remains is the faces and the names

Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

 

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings

In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.

Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;

The islands and bays are for sportsmen.

And farther below Lake Ontario

Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,

And the iron boats go as the mariners all know

With the Gales of November remembered.

 

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,

In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.

The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times

For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down

Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.

Superior, they said, never gives up her dead

When the gales of November come early!

Placebo - Teenage Angst

Shine the headlight,

straight into my eyes.

Like the roadkill,

I'm paralysed.

You see through my disguise

At the drive-in,

double feature,

pull the lever,

break the fever and say your last goodbyes.

Since I was born I started to decay.

Now nothing ever ever goes my way One fluid gesture,

like stepping back in time.

Trapped in amber, petrified.

And still not satisfied Airs and social graces,

elocution so divine.

I'll stick to my needle,

and my favourite waste of time,

both spineless and sublime.

Since I was born I started to decay.

Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.

Maroon 5 - Harder to Breathe

How dare you say that my behavior is unacceptable

So condescending unnecessarily critical

I have the tendency of getting very physical

So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle

 

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here

This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear

You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone

Not fit to fuckin' tread the ground that I am walking on

 

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

 

What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head

You should know better you never listened to a word I said

Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat

Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did

 

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

 

Does it kill

Does it burn

Is it painful to learn

That it's me that has all the control

 

Does it thrill

Does it sting

When you feel what I bring

And you wish that you had me to hold

 

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

You'll understand what I mean when I say

There's no way we're gonna give up

And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe

Plush- Stone Temple Pilots

 

And I feel that time's a wasted

go

So where ya going to tomorrow?

And I see that these are lies to

come

Would you even care?

 

And I feel it

And I feel it

 

Where ya going for tomorrow?

Where ya goin' with the mask I

found?

And I feel, And I feel

When the dogs begin to smell

her

Will she smell alone?

 

And I feel, so much depends on

the weather

So is it raining in your bedroom?

And I see, that these are the

eyes of disarray

So would you even care?

 

And I feel it

And she feels it

 

Where ya going for tomorrow?

Where ya goin' with the mask I

found?

And I feel, and I feel

When the dogs begin to smell

her

Will she smell alone?

 

When the dogs do find her

Got time, time, to wait for

tomorrow

The most beautiful love song ever written !

 

"Heroes"

 

(Lyrics: David Bowie. Music: David Bowie/Brian Eno)

 

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can beat them, just for one day

We can be Heroes, just for one day

 

And you, you can be mean

And I, I'll drink all the time

'Cos we're lovers, and that is a fact

Yes we're lovers, and that is that

 

Though nothing, will keep us together

We could steal time, just for one day

We can be Heroes, for ever and ever

What d'you say?

 

I, I wish you could swim

Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

Though nothing, nothing will keep us together

We can beat them, for ever and ever

Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

 

I, I will be king

And you, you will be queen

Though nothing will drive them away

We can be Heroes, just for one day

We can be us, just for one day

 

I, I can remember (I remember)

Standing, by the wall (by the wall)

And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)

And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

And the shame, was on the other side

Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever

Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

 

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

We can be Heroes

Just for one day

We can be Heroes

 

We're nothing, and nothing will help us

Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay

But we could be safer, just for one day

 

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day

 

 

(Recorded during the "Heroes" sessions at Hansa Studios, Berlin, Germany in 1978)

^ I agree what a beautiful song. :)
