Radiohead - Electioneering

 

I will stop

I will stop at nothing

Say the right things

When electioneering

I trust I can rely on your vote

 

When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet

 

Riot shields

Voodoo economics

It's just business

Cattle prods and the IMF

I trust I can rely on your vote

 

When I go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet

Muse - Apocalypse Please

 

declare this an emergency

come on and spread a sense of urgency

and pull us through

and pull us through

 

and this is the end

this is the end

of the world

 

and it's time we saw a miracle

come on, it's time for something biblical

to pull us through

and pull us through

 

and this is the end

this is the end

of the world

 

proclaim enternal victory

come on and change the cause of history

and pull us through

and pull us through

 

and this is the end

this is the end

of the world

The Lovecats- the cure

 

 

We move like cagey tigers

We couldn't get closer than this

The way we walk

The way we talk

The way we stalk

The way we kiss

We slip through the streets

While everyone sleeps

Getting bigger and sleeker

And wider and brighter

We bite and scratch and scream all night

Let's go and

Throw all the songs we know

 

Into the sea

You and me

All these years and no one heard

I'll show you in spring

It's a treacherous thing

We missed you hissed the lovecats

 

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully

Wonderfully pretty

Oh you know that I'd do anything for you

We should have each other to tea huh?

We should have each other with cream

Then curl up by the fire

And sleep for awhile

It's the grooviest thing

It's the perfect dream

 

Hand in hand

Is the only way to land

And always the right way round

Not broken in pieces

Like hated little meeces

How could we miss

Someone as dumb as this

 

I love you ... let's go

Oh ... solid gone ...

How could we miss someone as dumb

As this?

Beatles-Lovely Rita

 

Lovely Rita meter maid, lovely Rita meter maid

 

Lovely Rita meter maid, nothing can come between us

when it gets dark I tow your heart away

Standing by a parking meter when I caught a glimpse of Rita

Filling in the ticket in her little white book.

 

I the cap she looked much older

And the bag across her shoulder

made her look a little like a military man.

 

Lovely Rita meter maid, may I inquire discreetly,

When you are free to take some tea with me

 

Took her out and tried to win her,

Had a laugh and over dinner

Told her I would really like to see her again

 

Got the bill and Rita paid it,

Took her home and nearly made it

Sitting on a sofa with a sister or two.

 

Oh, lovely Rita meter maid, where would I be without you,

Give us a wink and make me think of you.

Radiohead - Rabbit in Your Headlights

 

I’m a rabbit in your headlights

Scared of the spotlight

You don’t come to visit

I’m stuck in this bed

 

Thin rubber gloves

She laughs when she’s crying

She cries when she’s laughing

 

Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away...

(away....away....away....)

 

I’m a rabbit in your headlights

Christian suburbanite

Washed down the toliet

Money to burn

 

Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away...

 

(Sample from movie jacob’s ladder)

If you’re frightened of dyin’ and you’re holding on...

You’ll see devils tearing your life away.

But...if you’ve made your peace,

Then the devila are really angels

Freeing you from the earth.....from the earth....from the earth

 

Rotworms on the underground

Caught between stations

Butterfingers

I’m losing my patience

 

I’m a rabbit in your headlights

Christian suburbanite

You got money to burn....

 

Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away.....

Away, away, away,

Away, away, away.

 

***If you haven't listened to this song, do so...highly recommended. It's got a great build-up to it and watch the video it's pretty sick (meaning awesome!***

A-Ha-The Sun Always Shines On TV

 

 

Touch me

How can it be

Believe me

The sun always shines on T.V

Hold me

Close to your heart

Touch me

And give all your love to me

To me...

 

I Reached inside myself

And found nothing there

To ease the pressure of

My ever worrying mind

All my powers waste away

I fear the crazed and lonely looks

The mirror's sending me

These Days

Please don't ask me to defend

The shamefull lowlands

Of the way I'm drifting

Gloomily through time

 

I reached inside myself today

Thinking there's got to be some way

To keep my troubles distant

 

Touch me

How can it be

Believe me

The sun always shines on TV

Hold me

Close to your heart

Touch me

And give all your love to me

You're All I Need ~ Pilate

 

And I'm walking wounded, in my sleep

And the work on my hand so sickens me

Tonight ...

 

And the dreams come on

Like a raging flood

I can feel the flames and taste the blood, now

And her arms find me waiting

Come in now

 

And today we are victims

Heavy price

And time will not heal the

Scars we hide

 

We walked on home

There's a funeral pyre

Carrying crosses

And does that guy know?

And her arms find me waiting

Come in now

Come in now, yeah

 

You're all I need

I've walked beside the chosen one

I've fought beside forgotten sons

And I...

And I'll make you safe

For all the fires that scar this land

And all the blood upon my hands tonight

Just lay me down

Tonight

 

And I lie

With you tonight

For all the stars

Behind your eyes

And I'm free

Free to fly

Through your mind

 

Your mind...

Yeah...

 

You're all I need

I've walked beside the chosen one

I've fought beside forgotten sons

And I...

And I'll make you safe

For all the fires that scar this land

And all the blood upon my hands, tonight

And just lay me down, tonight

 

And just lay me down

 

And I'm walking wounded...

In my sleep...

"one beat" by sleater-kinney

 

I'm a bubble in a sound wave

A sonic push for energy

Exploding like the sun

A flash of clean light hope

All you scientists can hold your breath

Shall I decide to show myself? Oh oh

 

Take me to the sourse of chaos let me be the butterfly

Imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry and rhyme

 

If you think like Thomas Edison

Could you invent a world for me

Now all that's on the surface

Are bloody arms and oil fields

Could I turn this place upside down

And shake you and your fossils out? Oh oh

 

You can predict everything with Newton like certainty, why?

'Cause it floats around all we see with oscillationg energy on high

 

And you soothe yourself with a sound you know

You tune out the hypnotic drone

Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb

And you soothe yourself with the shapes you know

 

Should I come outside and run your cars

Should I run your rockets to the stars

Could you invent a world for me

I need to hear a symphony

If I'm to run the future

You've got to let the old world go Oh oh

 

Take me to the sourse of chaos let me be the butterfly

Imperfect symmetry has underlying poetry and rhyme

 

And you soothe yourself with a sound you know

You tune out the hypnotic drone

Perfect hexagon of the honeycomb

And you soothe yourself with the shapes you know

 

Your word for me is fusion

But is real change an illusion

Could I turn this place all upside down

And shake you and your fossils out

If I'm to run the future

You've got to let the old world go

Could you invent a world for me

I need to hear a symphony Oh oh

KEANE-Try Again

 

I fell asleep on a late night train

I missed my stop and I went round again

Why would I want to see you now?

To fix it up, make it up somehow.

 

Baby I'll try again, try again

Baby I die every night, every time

 

What I was isn't what I am

I'd change back but I don't know if I can

 

Still I'll try, try again, try again

Baby I die every night, every time

 

But I was made the way I am

I'm not a stone; I'm just a man

Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine

Rip back the time that we've been wasting

 

God I wish you could see me now

You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out

Van Diemen's Land"/U2

 

didn't know about that song thanks....that what Tasmania used to be called :stunned:

Stairway to Heaven

 

There's a lady who's sure

All that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

An' when she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for

 

Oohoohooh oohoohoohoohooh

And she's buying a stairway to heaven

 

There's a sign on the wall

But she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings

In a tree by the brook

There's a songbird that sings

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

 

An' I think you can see that

Ohh

 

And it makes me wonder, sure does

Oh hoh hoh, hohooh ohoohohooh yes sir

 

There's a feelin' I get

When I look to the west

And my spirit is crying for leaving

In my thoughts I have seen

Rings of smoke through the trees

And the voices of those who stand looking

 

Ah hah. Ah hah

Ah hah. Ah hah. Ahhhahhohoohohooh

Ohoohohooh

Ohoohohoohohohoh

 

And it's whispered that soon

If we all call the tune

A-then the piper will lead us to reason

And a new day will dawn

For those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter

 

Does anybody remember laughter?

 

Baby, oh yeah

Just give it to me, give it to me, give it to me

 

Sure does, sure does

But I got some good news, listen...

 

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow

Don't be alarmed now

It's just a spring clean for the May queen

Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

And there's still time to change the road you're on, I hope so

 

Oohh, baby baby darlin

Thank ya darlin'

Thank ya darlin'

Thank ya darlin'

Thank ya...

 

A-wait a minute, a-wait a minute

 

Your head is hummin' and it won't go

In case ya don't know

The piper's callin' you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow

And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whisperin' wind

 

Ohh hah hahhahhh

 

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our souls

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold, yeah

And if-a you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last

When all is one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll, not to roll

Don't make me roll

 

An' she's buying a stairway to heaven

Ahhahhhhohhahhoh

^ Best rock song EVER!!!

MAYBE TOMORROW - STEREOPHONICS

 

 

I've been down and

I'm wondering why

These little black clouds

Keep walking around

With me

With me

 

It wastes time

And I'd rather be high

Think I'll walk me outside

And buy a rainbow smile

But be free

They're all free

 

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

 

I look around at a beautiful life

Been the upperside of down

Been the inside of out

But we breathe

We breathe

I wanna breeze and an open mind

I wanna swim in the ocean

Wanna take my time for me

All me

 

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

 

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

 

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow

I'll find my way home

The Doors-Break on Through

 

You know the day destroys the night

Night divides the day

Tried to run

Tried to hide

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side, yeah

 

We chased our pleasures here

Dug our treasures there

But can you still recall

The time we cried

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side

 

Yeah!

C’mon, yeah

 

Everybody loves my baby

Everybody loves my baby

She get

She get

She get

She get high

 

I found an island in your arms

Country in your eyes

Arms that chain us

Eyes that lie

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side

Break on through, oww!

Oh, yeah!

 

Made the scene

Week to week

Day to day

Hour to hour

The gate is straight

Deep and wide

Break on through to the other side

Break on through to the other side

Break on through

Break on through

Break on through

Break on through

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Killers-The Ballad of Michael Valentine

 

Michael plays with stars

Soul Sister won't you take a ride in his car

Late to call

When you wanted to be all

Baby don't be so shy

Rock children hold your heads up high

In the night while I try

And tell the ballad of Valentine

 

You got it bad, but you know it's true

 

I caught up with a friend in Dallas

We took a trip to New Orleans

Those black-eyed ladies

Won't say they're sorry

 

We finally caught a train to Memphis

Where everybody talks the same

Those blue suede babies

All know my name

 

And I said hold tight

Can't you see it's hurting me

But I've got the buzz

Like Marlon Brando

Michael Valentine, can't we unite?

 

We ended up in North Dakota

Although my heart's in Mexico

My ... (?)

All went to Soho

 

With your new suit, and your black tie

Hold on, you're just a gambling man, all proper like

I broke to the right and I caught your eye

Shut your mouth and wave goodbye

Tonight, I ain't gonna let you rain on this parade

 

And I said hold tight

Can't you see it's hurting me

But I've got the buzz

Like Marlon Brando

Straight faced with misery tonight

 

And I will not lie when I say I ain't cold no more

But I've got the buzz

Like Greta Garbo

Walking forwards in the sun

And I've got a cold tale left to write

 

Well uh oh

I know he's gonna be there tonight

Franz Ferdinand - Walk Away

 

I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"

I love the sound of you walking away

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear

And I am cold

Yes I'm cold

But not as cold as you are

I love the sound of you walking away

 

Why don't you walk away?

No buildings will fall down

Why don't you walk away?

No quake will split the ground

Why don't you walk away?

The sun won't swallow the sky

Why don't you walk away?

Statues will not cry

 

I cannot turn to see those eyes

As apologies may rise

I must be strong and stay an unbeliever

And love the sound of you walking away

Mascara bleeds into my eye

I'm not cold

I am old

At least as old as you are

As you walk away

 

And as you walk away

My headstone crumbles down

As you walk away

The Hollywood wind's a howl

As you walk away

The Kremlin's falling

As you walk away

Radio 4 is static

As you walk away

 

The stab of stiletto

On a silent night

Stalin smiles

Hitler laughs

Churchill claps

Mao Tse-Tung

On the back

Travis-Writing to reach you

 

Every day I wake up and it's Sunday

Whatever's in my head won't go away

The radio is playing all the usual

And what's a wonderwall anyway

 

Because my inside is outside

My right side's on the left side

'Cos I'm writing to reach you

But I might never reach you

I long to teach you about you

But that's not you

 

It's good to know that you are home for Christmas

It's good to know that you are doing well

It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting

It's good to know I'm feeling not so well

 

Because my inside is outside

My right side's on the left side

'Cos I'm writing to reach you

But I might never reach you

I long to teach you about you

But that's not you

Do you know it's true

And that won't do

 

Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday

And whatever's in my head should go away

Still the radio keeps playing all the usual

And what's a wonderwall anyway

 

Because my inside is outside

My right side's on the left side

'Cos I'm writing to reach you

But I might never reach you

I long to teach you about you

But that's not you

Do you know it's true

And that won't do

You know it's you

I'm talking to

Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees

 

Her green plastic watering can

For her fake Chinese rubber plant

In the fake plastic earth

That she bought from a rubber man

In a town full of rubber plans

To get rid of itself

 

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

 

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 can't help the feeling

I could blow through the ceiling

If I just turn and run

 

It wears me out, it wears me out

It wears me out, it wears me out

 

If I could be who you wanted

If I could be who you wanted all the time

 

All the time...

All the time...

Its amazing how little known this guy is. Though his album has been no 1. Damien Rice. Older chests. From the album. O

 

Olde chest's reveal themselves like a crack in a wall

Starting small, and grow in time

We all seem to need the help of someone else

To mend that shelf of too many books

Read me your favorite line

 

Papa went to other lands...and found someone who understands...the ticking, and western mans need to cry. He came back the other day yea you know, some things in live may change...and some things they stay the same

 

like time. Theres always time. On my mind. So pass me by. Ill be fine. Just give me time.

 

Older gents sit on the fence with their cap in hand

Looking grand

They watch their city change.

Children scream or so it seems louder then before. Out of doors and into stores with bigger names

 

Mama tried to was their faces but these kids have lost their graces, and daddy lost at the races too many times. She broke down the other day yea you know. some things in life may change and some things they stay the same

 

like time. Theres always time. On my mind. So pass me by. Ill be fine. Just give me time.

Billy Joel-Leningrad

 

Viktor was born in the spring of '44

And never saw his father anymore

A child of sacrifice, a child of war

Another son who never had a father after Leningrad

 

Went off to school and learned to serve the state

Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight

The only way to live was drown the hate

A Russian life was very sad

And such was life in Leningrad

 

I was born in '49

A cold war kid in McCarthy time

Stop 'em all at the 38th Parallel

Blast those yellow reds to hell

And cold war kids were hard to kill

Under their desks in an air raid drill

Haven't they heard we won the war

What do they keep on fighting for?

 

Viktor was sent to some Red Army town

Served out his time, became a circus clown

The greatest happiness he'd ever found

Was making Russian children glad

And children lived in Leningrad

 

But children lived in Levittown

And hid in the shelters underground

Until the Soviets turned their ships around

And tore the Cuban missiles down

And in that bright October sun

We knew our childhood days were done

And I watched my friends go off to war

What do they keep on fighting for?

 

And so my child and I came to this place

To meet him eye to eye and face to face

He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced

We never knew what friends we had

Until we came to Leningrad

MUSE - CITIZEN ERASED

 

Break me in,

Teach us to cheat

And to lie, cover up

What shouldn't be shared?

All the truth unwinding

Scraping away

At my mind

Please stop asking me to describe him

 

For one moment

I wish you'd hold your stage

With no feelings at all

Open minded

I'm sure I used to be so free

 

Self expressed, exhausting for all

To see and to be

What you want and what you need

The truth unwinding

Scraping away

At my mind

Please stop asking me to describe

 

For one moment

I wish you'd hold your stage

With no feelings at all

Open minded

I'm sure I used to be so free

 

For one moment

I wish you'd hold your stage

With no feelings at all

Open minded

I'm sure I used to be so free

 

Wash me away

Clean your body of me

Erase all the memories

They will only bring us pain

And I've seen all I'll ever need[/b][scroll:f94a124d2f][/scroll:f94a124d2f]

Van Diemen's Land"/U2

 

didn't know about that song thanks....that what Tasmania used to be called :stunned:

 

Wow, I'm slow. :lol: Yeah, it's a great song, and I never knew that about Tasmania! You learn something new in the U2 world everyday! :rolleyes: :lol:

 

"New York"/U2

 

In New York freedom

Looks like too many choices

In New York I found a friend

To drown out the other voices

Voices on a cell phone

Voices from home

Voices through the hard sell

Voices down a stairwell

In New York

Just got a place in New York

 

In New York summers get hot

Well into the hundreds

You can't walk around the block

Without a change of clothing

Hot as a hairdryer in your face

Hot as a handbag and a can of mace

New York

I just got a place in New York

New York

New York

 

In New York you can forget

Forget how to sit still

Tell yourself you will stay in

But it's down to Alphaville

 

New York, New York, New York

New York, New York, New York

 

The Irish have been coming here for years

Feel like they own the place

They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt

They even got the police

Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics

Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew

Living happily not like me and you

That's where I lost you

New York

 

New York, New York, New York

New York, New York, New York

New York

 

In New York I lost it all

To you and your vices

Still I'm staying on to figure out

My midlife crisis

I hit an iceberg in my life

But you know I'm still afloat

You lose your balance, lose your wife

In the queue for the lifeboat

You gotta put the women and children first

But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York

 

New York, New York

New York, New York

 

In the stillness of the evening

When the sun has had its day

I heard your voice whispering

Come away now

 

New York

 

New, New York, New York
