CKY - Escape From Hellview

The fire dies on its own
Leaving us to ourselves but not exactly alone
I think that something is out there waiting
Anticipation has grown
The air as black as can be
Can't even see that my hand is in front of me
I'm overhearing a whisper "they won't escape until the blood is set free"

So turn back the silence is deafening
Turn back don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour and
on the clock it's just a minute away

So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease

Now I'm finding my friends
Hanging from trees, made a bed of a barbed wire fence
I'm on the loose with my neck in the noose but hey...
I enjoy the intense

So turn back the silence is deafening
Turn back don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour and
on the clock it's just a minute away

So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could ever match the sight of when a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do I'll be the one that will escape from Hellview...and I will

So turn back the silence is deafening
Turn back don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour and
on the clock it's just a minute away (twice)

So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could ever match the sight of when a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do I'll be the one that will escape from Hellview...and I will

The Postal Service - Brand New Colony

I'll be the grapes fermented
Bottled and served with the table set
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman

I'll be the fire escape
That's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the waterwings
That save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink

I'll be the phonograph
That plays your favorite albums back
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep . . .

I'll be the platform shoes
And undo what heredity's done to you
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes

I'll be your winter coat
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch cold

I want to take you far
From the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut our bodies free
From the tethers of this scene
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change
We'll give ourselves new names
(Identities erased)
The sun will heat the ground
Under our bare feet
In this brand new colony

Everything will change, ooo ooo . . .

Soil - Halo

I'm the man, I'm the king
I'm the one
thats pure inside
everyday, everyway i smell
of suicide
bitter sins how they grow within
so tell me it ain't right
I am... all sins
and you're my reason for life

I will stone you, stone you
wrap my arms around you
i will stone you, stone you
my little halo

I'm the man, I'm the king
I'm the one
thats broken from giving
everyday everyway
i swear just one last try
killing me with the death to be
something thats so right
I am ... all sins
my hands are scarred with time

I will stone you, stone you
wrap my arms around you
i will stone you, stone you
my little halo

feel through my eyes...

im the man with the rock in his
hand, got the rock in my hand
gonna stone you, stone you

make a change, gotta rearrange
idle minds crushing time
I am ... all sins
and you're my reason for life

I will stone you, stone you
wrap my arms around you
i will stone you, stone you
my little halo

I will stone you, stone you
put my goddamn arms around you
i will stone you, stone you
my little halo

I will stone you, stone you
Put my arms around you
i will stone you, stone you
my little halo!

Slipknot - Wait and Bleed

I've felt the hate rise up in me,
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves,
I wander out where you can't see,
Inside my shell I wait and bleed.

I've felt the hate rise up in me,
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves,
I wander out where you can't see,
Inside my shell i wait and bleed.

Goodbye!!!

I wipe it off on tile.
The light is brighter this time.
Everything is 3-D in blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold.
The hair is standing straight up.
This is not the way I pictured me.
I can't control my shakes.
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud.
I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?

I've fealt the hate rise up in me,
Kneel down and clear thye stone of leaves,
I wander out where you can't see,
Inside my shell i wait and bleed.

Get out of my head!
'Cause i don't need this.
Why didn't i see this?
But i'm a victim,
Manchurian Candidate.
I... Have... Sinned... By... Just.
Making my mind up,
And taking your breath away.

I've fealt the hate rise up in me,
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves,
I wander out where you can't see,
Inside my shell i wait and bleed.

I've fealt the hate rise up in me,
Kneel down and clear thye stone of leaves,
I wander out where you can't see,
Inside my shell i wait and bleed.

Goodbye!!!!

You haven't learned a thing.
I haven't changed a thing.
Your flesh was in my bones.
The pain was always free.

You haven't learned a, thing!
I haven't changed a, thing!
Your flesh was in my, bones!
The pain was always, free!

I've fealt the hate rise up in me,
Kneel down and clear thye stone of leaves,
I wander out where you can't see,
Inside my shell i wait and bleed.

I've felt the hate rise up in me,
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves,
I wander out where you can't see,
Inside my shell i wait and bleed.

And it waits for you.

Aquabats - Chemical Bomb

I was at the supermarket
Watching people cut in line
I started thinking about human nature
What would you do
if there was no more food?

My mind began to wander
About greed and hunger
And just how many other countries
Are getting ready for another war

But the sun was shining
And everything seemed fine
So count me in
I'll see you on the other side

Chemical bomb
Chemical bomb
Eyes melt, Skin explodes
Everybody's dead
It won't be long
It won't be long
People gonna run around
Losing their heads
A river of blood
Who's gonna live?
The earth is tired of human kind
And I think this world
Is gonna wash up in Hell

La la la la la
La la la la la
La lala la la la la

Then I had another vision
In the crowded grocery store
I saw the Pale Rider on his horse
Decapitating people in the parking lot
And all the shoppers were beasts
What could I do to hide?
Back in this world of humankind
I think we've already lost our minds

But the sun was shining
And everything seemed fine
So count me in
I'll see you on the other side

Chemical bomb
Chemical bomb
Eyes melt, Skin explodes
Everybody's dead
It won't be long
It won't be long
People gonna run around
Losing their heads
A river of blood
Who's gonna live?
The earth is tired of human kind
And I think this world
Is gonna wash up in Hell

La la la la la
La la la la la
La lala la la la la
maybe.... maybe... maybe...

Jonathan Coulton - Skullcrusher Mountain

Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you’ve enjoyed your stay so far
I see you’ve met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he’s harmless enough
He’s a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me

I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet

I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it
What’s with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don’t like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn’t it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?

I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet

Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
But it won’t mean half as much to me if I don’t have you here

You know it isn’t easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
Maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I’ve been patient, I’ve been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you

I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet
I shouldn’t kill you yet
I shouldn’t kill you yet

The White Stripes - I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet)

Well I miss my mother
And I miss being her son
As crazy as I was I
Guess I wasn't much of one
Sometimes I miss her so much
I want to hop on the next jet
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
And I love my sister
Lord knows how I've missed her
She loves me
And she knows I won't forget
And sometimes I get jealous
Of all her little pets
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

I roll over in bed
Looking for someone to touch
There's a girl that I know of
But don't ask for much
She's homely, and she's cranky
And her hair's in a net
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

I get my friend when I need one
I need someone to be one
I take anybody I can get
And sometimes I wanna call you
And I feel like a pet
And I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

I go down to the river
Filled with regret
I go down and I wonder
If there was any reason left
I've just before my lungs could get wet
I'm lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

And I love my sister
Lord knows how I've missed her
She loves me
And she knows I won't forget
And sometimes I get jealous
Of all her little pets
And I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet
Yeah I get lonely, but I ain't that lonely yet

Cast - I'm So Lonely

I'm so lonely I just got to let you know
I've got to let you
If you'd only look you hold the key to show
I've got to let you
I've got to let you know

I'm so lonely I just got to let you know
I've got to let you
Take me to the places that I need to go
I've got to let you
I've got to let you
Know…Know…Know

If you don't know
If you don't see my face
Calling you back
If you don't hear, hear my voice
If you don't see my face
Calling you back
Calling you back

I'm so lonely I just got to let you know
I've got to let you
If you'd only see you'd let the feeling grow
Just let the feeling
Just let the feeling
Grow…Grow…Know

If you don't know
If you don't see my face
Calling you back
If you don't hear, you hear my voice
If you don't see my face
Calling you back
Calling you back

No…No…No

Away

Appleseed Cast - Dreamland

hammers and nails i've used them for building my face this time tomorrow.
when i see you again outside.
and inside i can hide my sorrow.
talking in such a dirty way
found a way i could come back.
catch your eye it's just the same as reminding me of what i wanted.
its what you are.
tried my list of all excuses.
ran outside lost in pain.
put it on turn up the music.
laugh and laugh about how lost i was.
it's what you are my friend.
things change you know.
don't stand around and wait.
take a step.
one more step don't fall down balance now.
there's no denying this is what you are
take a step.
one more step don't fall down balance now.
there's no denying this is what you are
take a step.
one more step don't fall down balance now.
there's no denying this is what you are

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 funkin' tread the ground that I'm 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 what I've 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
is there anyone out there cuz its gettin harder and harder to breathe

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so.

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.

Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye.
When the earth folded in on itself.
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell
are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath."
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind.
Well I don't mind. I don't mind. How the hell could I mind?

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.

Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?

The Used - Blue and Yellow

<3

And it's all in how you mix the two
And it starts just where the light exists
It's a feeling that you cannot miss
It burns a hole through everyone that feels it

Well you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
Won't come your way yeah
Well you'll never find it
If you're looking for it (looking for it)

Should've done something
But I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you

And you never would have thought it in the end
How amazing it feels just to live again
It's a feeling that you cannot miss
It burns a hole through everyone that feels it

Well you're never gonna find it
If you're looking for it
Won't come your way yeah
Well you'll never find it
If you're looking for it (looking for it)

Should've done something
But I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you

Should've said something
But I've said it enough
By the way my words were faded
Rather waste some time with you

Should've done something
But I've done it enough
By the way your hands were shaking
Rather waste my time with you

Should've said something
But I've said it enough
By the way my words were faded
Rather waste my time with you

Should've done something
But I've done it enough
By the way my hands were shaking
Rather waste some time with you

The Appleseed Cast - Shaking Hands

shaking hands.
greedy smile.
on the window sill.
flowered walks.
wooded field.
on the window sill.
sirens come

New Order- Waiting for the sirens call

What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea
Waiting for the sirens call
I've never seen it here before

There she plies the lonely trail
Getting through the breaking winds
Drifting slowly from the coast
She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the shore

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all the way

I've got it all
Cause you were not the one
I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone

Gotta catch the midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a document
All across the continent

City life is flying by
The wheels are turning all around
Get on board we can't be late

The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round
All through the town!

What can I say, I'm in a nostalgic mood today!

Armor For Sleep - My Town

Street lights look like ribs on my block
I can forget where I am now
Smiling as I pass some parked cars
I can forget where I am at

Run through my town
Scream till I fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

Sidewalks slam their backs to my feet
I can forget where I am now
Houses shut their lights as I pass
I can forget where I am at

Run through my town
Scream till I fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

This is the end of rotting away
In the backseat
This is the end of keeping it in
We all know how I feel

This is the end of rotting away
I know how I feel

Run through my town
Scream till I fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

Run through my town
Scream till I fade
Stumble around
Scare kids away
Pouring out of me
Asleep on the street
Watch my whole town
Attempt to wake me

Bright Eyes - An Attempt to Tip the Scales

Did you expect it all to stop
At the wave of your hand?
Like the sun’s just gonna drop,
If it’s night, you demand.
Well, in the dark we’re just air,
So the house might dissolve.
Once we’re gone, who’s gonna care
If we were ever here at all?
Well, summer’s gonna come.
It’s gonna cloud our eyes again.
No need to focus when there’s
Nothing left worth seeing.
So we trade for liquor for blood,
In an attempt to tip the scales.
I think you lost what you loved
In that mess of details.
They seemed to important at the time—
Now you can’t even recall
Any names, faces, or lines;
It’s more the feeling of it all.
Well, winter’s gonna end,
I’m gonna clean these veins again.
So close to dying that I finally can start living.

Donna Summer- Livin' In America
(not that I am a closet Donna Summer fan. Nope )

Straight outta school but still just a fool
Thought the streets were paved with gold
He moved off the block and
Found he was lost
In a world he'd never known
He had to hustle so he could pay the rent
Played all the aces and wound up president
You see it's okay
Got to find your own way
Keep on trying all day
And you know your time will come
You'll get your chance to run

You're livin' in america
You're livin' in the home of the dream
You're livin' in america
Just make it what you want it to be

Soap opera child with hope in her eyes
Lookin' for a starrin' role
She came into town and acted the clown
Had a long, long way to go
Waitin' on tables and pumpin' gasoline
She served and agent,
Now she's a movie queen
You see it's okay
Got to find your own way
Keep on tryin' all day
And you know the time will come
For each and everyone

You're livin' in america
You're livin' in the home of the dream
You're livin' in america
Just make it what you want it to be

You'll stand alone on a long hard road
With a crowd that you can't see
Just start by steppin' out
Then let your mind run free

You're livin' in america
You're livin' in the home of the dream
You're livin' in america
Just make it what you want it to be

It's okay
You're livin' in the usa
Find your dream
You know that dream can set
You free

It's okay
We're part of the united state
You and me
Can be just what we wanna be
He's okay
He left the block and reached
The top
She's all right
The agent put her name in lights

He's okay
He's paid his rent he's president
She's all right
She's on your tv screen tonight

Boudewijn De Groot - Welterusten Meneer De President

Meneer de president, welterusten
Slaap maar lekker in je mooie witte huis
Denk maar niet te veel aan al die verre kusten
Waar uw jongens zitten, eenzaam, ver van thuis
Denk vooral niet aan die zesenveertig doden
Die vergissing laatst met dat bombardement
En vergeet het vierde van die tien geboden
die u als goed christen zeker kent

Denk maar niet aan al die jonge frontsoldaten
Eenzaam stervend in de verre tropennacht
Laat die bleke pacifistenkliek maar praten
Meneer de president, slaap zacht

Droom maar van de overwinning en de zege
Droom maar van uw mooie vredesideaal
Dat nog nooit door bloedig moorden is verkregen
Droom maar dat het u wel lukken zal dit maal
Denk maar niet aan al die mensen die verrekken
Hoeveel vrouwen, hoeveel kinderen zijn vermoord
Droom maar dat u aan het langste eind zult trekken
En geloof van al die tegenstand geen woord

Bajonetten met bloedige gevesten
Houden ver van hier op uw bevel de wacht
Voor de glorie en de eer van het vrije westen
Meneer de president, slaap zacht

Schrik maar niet te erg wanneer u in uw dromen
Al die schuldeloze slachtoffers ziet staan
Die daarginds bij het gevecht zijn omgekomen
En u vragen hoe lang dit nog zo moet gaan
En u zult toch ook zo langzaamaan wel weten
Dat er mensen zijn die ziek zijn van geweld
Die het bloed en de ellende niet vergeten
En voor wie nog steeds een mensenleven telt

Droom maar niet te veel van al die dode mensen
Droom maar fijn van overwinning en van macht
Denk maar niet aan al die vredeswensen
Meneer de president, slaap zacht

Yes, I know it's in Dutch, but we talked it over in IRC, and we decided that we can nick English-sounding words out of it.

Le Tigre - Deceptacon

Who took the bomp?

Every day and night,
Every day and night,
I can see your disco disco dick is sucking my heart out of my mind.
I'm outta time; I'm outta fuckin time.
I'm a Gatling gun with a vaseline mind, but
Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco?
Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme.
One! Two! Three! Four!
You got what you been asking for.
You're so policy free and you're fantasy wheels and everything you think
and everything you feel is alright, alright, alright, alright, alright.

I take you home, now watch me get you hot.
You're just a parrot when you're screaming and you're shouting,
"More crackers please, more crackers please."
You want what you want but you don't wanna be on your knees.
Who does your... who does your hair?

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?

How are you?
Fine, thank you.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.

You bought a new van the first year of your band.
You're cool and I hardly wanna say "no" because I'm so bored
that I'll be entertained even by a stupid, fucking linoneum floor, linoleum floor.
Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor.
I'll walk on it.
I'll walk all over you.
Walk on it, walk on it, walk on. One, Two!

Who? Who? Who? Who?

Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?
Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp?
Who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?

See you later!
See you later.
See you later!
See you later.

Smiling girls and rosy boys
Come and buy my little toys
Monkeys made of gingerbread
And sugar horses painted red
Rich men's children running past
Their fathers dressed in hose
Golden hair and mud of many acres on their shoes
Gazing eyes and running wild
Past the stocks and over stiles
Kiss the window merry child
But come and buy my toys
You've watched your father plough the field with a ram's horn
Sowed it wide with peppercorn and furrowed with a bramble thorn
Reaped it with a sharpened scyth, threshed it with a quill
The miller told your father that he'd work it with the greatest will
Now your watching's over you must play with girls and boys
Leave the parsley on the stalls
Come and buy my toys
You shall own a cambric shirt
You shall work your father's land
But now you shall play in the market square
Till you'll be a man
Smiling girls and rosy boys
Come and buy my little toys
Monkeys made of gingerbread
And sugar horses painted red
-David Bowie, Come and Buy My Toys

Pink Floyd - Bike

I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.

I've got a cloak. It's a bit of a joke.
There's a tear up the front. It's red and black.
I've had it for months.
If you think it could look good, then I guess it should.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.

I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why. I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.

I've got a clan of gingerbread men.
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish. They're on the dish.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.

I know a room of musical tunes.
Some rhyme, some ching. Most of them are clockwork.
Let's go into the other room and make them work.

Opium of the People - SlipKnot

Watch those idiosyncrasies
Watch all the idiots fall on me
Running out of ways to get outta the way
Take another shot just to stay the same
But I need some balance back it off
Fill your lungs 'til it makes you cough
Tell me everything's gonna be alright
'Cause I don't think I'm gonna make it through tonight
The only way is all the way
Oh my god
It's judgement day and I'm not prepared
Everybody out there's running scared
So take a little off the top
I don't care just make it stop
I won't give another soul...to you
I won't give another life...to you
You have to stop
Stop!
Do one thing and say something cryptic
But the styles always clash
One thing I know for sure
The hypothetical won't work anymore
One wrong move and they will pound!
My nails are tight inside my wrists
This sacrament is sacrilege and sentimental
Deity experimental, Faith is accidental
I won't give another soul...to you
I won't give another life...to you
I won't give another thought...to you
I won't give anymore of my hope...to you

Sting, amongst other bands - We Work the Black Seam

This place has changed for good.
Your economic theory said it would,
It's hard for us to understand, we can't give up our jobs the way we should.

Our blood has stained the coal.
We tunnel deep inside the nation's soul,
We matter more than pounds or pence, your economic theory makes no sense

One day in a nuclear age, they may understand our rage,
Build machines that they can't control and bury the waste in a great big hole,
Power to become cheap and clean, and grimy faces were never seen,
But deadly for ten thousand years is carbon 14

We work the black seam, together.

That seam lies underground.
Six billion tonnes of pressure packed it down.
We walk through ancient forest land and light a thousand cities with our hands.

Your dark, satanic mills,
Have made redundant all our mining skills.
You can't exchange a 6 inch band for all the poisoned streams in cumberland.

One day in a nuclear age, they may understand our rage,
Build machines that they can't control and bury the waste in a great big hole,
Power to become cheap and clean, and grimy faces were never seen,
But deadly for ten thousand years is carbon 14

We work the black seam, together.

And should our children weep.
Your turning world will sing their souls to sleep,
When we've been sunk without a trace, the universe will suck us into place.

One day in a nuclear age, they may understand our rage,
Build machines that they can't control and bury the waste in a great big hole,
Power to become cheap and clean, and grimy faces were never seen,
But deadly for ten thousand years is carbon 14

We work the black seam, together.


edit: eep. Didn't see that last post >.> Sorry.

Hidden In Plain View - Twenty Below

This puzzled look you stare to me says
"You put me back together.."
Her head's down, she waits impatiently
Scattered in my heart, torn up and ripped apart
It's ripped apart..

And I know, I should have known
By the times she looked at me
Brace yourself
Strength finds a place in me

Just wait and you'll see,
you're everything I want
And don't take this from me
Just wait and you'll see,
you're everything I want
Don't take this from me now

Wind strong in my face,
I'm still staggering through
I'm closer to the ground
than I will ever get to you
Dirt deep beneath my fingernails,
I'm gripping to the floor
I'm searching through the world,
always looking for something more...

Just wait and and see,
you're everything I want
And don't take this from me
Just wait and and see,
you're everything I want
Don't take this from me now

And these cold winter nights,
without you next to me
It feels like twenty below
Frostbite on my heart
This pain and suffering
are feelings that you don't know

Does it feel like, feel like twenty below

Jim's Big Ego - Jumblies (lyrics from a poem by Edward Lear)

They went to sea in a sieve, they did;
In a sieve they went to sea.
In spite of all their friends could say,
On a winter's morn, on a stormy day,
In a sieve they went to sea.

And as the sieve spun 'round and 'round,
And everyone cried, "You'll all be drowned!"
They called aloud, "Our sieve ain't big,
But we don't care a button, we don't care a fig,
In a sieve we'll go to sea."

Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live.
Their heads are green and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a sieve.

They sailed away in a sieve, they did;
In a sieve they sailed so fast.
With only a beautiful pea green veil,
Tied with a riband by way of a sail,
To a small tobacco pipe mast.

And everyone said who saw them go,
"Oh, won't they soon be upset, you know,
For the sky is dark, and the voyage is long;
And happen what may it's extremely wrong,
In a sieve to sail so fast."

Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live.
Their heads are green and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a sieve.

And the water it soon came in, it did;
The water it soon came in.
So to keep them dry, they wrapped their feet
In a pinky paper all folded neat,
And they fastened it down with a pin.

And they passed the night in a crockery jar,
And each of them said, "How wise we are!
Though the sky be dark and the voyage be long,
Never we'd think we were rash or wrong
While round in our sieve we spin.

And all night long they sailed away,
And as the sun went down,
They whistled and warbled a moony song,
To the echoing sound of a coppery gong
In the shade of the mountains brown.

"Oh Timballoo, how happy we are,
For we live in a sieve and a crockery jar,
And all night long in the moonlight pale
We sail away with a pea-green sail
In the shade of the mountains brown."

Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live.
Their heads are green and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a sieve.

They sailed to the Western Sea, they did,
To a land all covered in trees.
And they bought an owl and a useful cart,
And a pound of rice and a cranberry tart,
And a hive of silvery bees.

They bought a pig and some green jackdaws,
And a lovely monkey with lollipop paws,
And forty bottles of Ring-bo-Ree and no end of Stilton cheese.

And in twenty years they all came back,
In twenty years or more.
And everyone said, "How tall they've grown,
For they've been to the lakes and the Torrible Zone,
And the hills of the Chankly Bore!"

They drank their health, and they gave them a feast
Of dumplings made with beautiful yeast!
And everyone said, "If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a sieve,
To the hills of the Chankly Bore."

Far and few, far and few,
Are the lands where the Jumblies live.
Their heads are green and their hands are blue,
And they went to sea in a sieve.

Brand New - Jaws Theme Swimming

In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind.
"If you're leaving, just let me know."
Tobacco and peppermint, dusting for fingerprints.
A film in her eyes from the glow.
Some rules are made with all intentions to break,
And she defends it with a warped rationale.
But I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud,
When they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown.
And we learn as we age.
We've learned nothing and my body still aches.
And you take cause they give.
Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve.

When it got old outside, smoke beneath the playground lights.
If you're coming home, just let me know.
Sucking on your breath mint, dissected and stuck with pins.
A film in her eyes from the glow.
Concrete and water, she's looking for her daughter,
At midnight in torrential downpour.
And everything I said about how messed your head is,
Got cut up and left in bits and pieces on the ground.
And we learn as we age.
We've learned nothing and my body still aches.
And you take cause they give.
Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve.

Take the picture from the wall cause you think that nothing matters.
Take a picture from the plane and it's a long way to the floor.
Cut your finger on the edge cause it's sharper than they told you.
Take a leap from out the window cause it's way too far to go through the door.
And we learn as we age.
We've learned nothing and my body still aches.
And you take cause they give.
Though I love you and my body it leaks like a sieve.

Taking Back Sunday - Eleven

I can remember parking lot nights
What did they mean to you?
Wrapping my arms around your body
Protecting and holdin' you
And holding you

Looking inside of my eyes
It was such a big surprise
You've gone and done it again
Does he love you like I can?
Like I can

Maybe it wasn't good enough,
but I gave you all I could
Would he stay up late if you can't sleep?
'Cause baby I would (I would)
And baby I could (I could)

And you're the one who's staring down
and letting me feel this way
To your sweet whispers that never told me
you need me this way (this way)
Baby this way (this way, way, way, way)

If you told me you were happy
If you told me that you miss me
Is it somethin' that I can't see,
or somethin' I can't be?
Somethin' I can't be

If you told me
If you told me!!!

Maybe it wasn't good enough, (good enough)
but I gave you all I could (good enough)
Would he stay up late if you can't sleep? (good enough)
'Cause baby I would

Good enough (7x)

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention

The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
"alive!" she cried
Waitin' for me
Outside!


Before I sink
Into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly


Come back, baby
Back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today


What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down


I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...
We want the world and we want it...
Now
Now?
Now!


Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us!

Biffy Clyro - Christopher's River

you and me, always you held my head above the waves
paddling around pretending that it was not too cold
it was but not when you were there

our shadows softly on the grass
day would break we'd have our laughs
our shirt-tails in the wind
seems like yesterday my friend
i know that we were scared
hurt because you were not there
i know i want it all
wish the sky would fall on me

you and me, always
always

our shadows softly on the grass
day would break we'd have our last
our shirt-tails in the wind
seems like yesterday my friend
i know that we were scared
hurt because you were not there
i know i want it all
wish the sky would fall on me

i'm not through

Beatles- Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,


That grow so incredibly high.
Newpaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.

(I was actualy thinking of the marmalade skies line when replying to this, but then realised it was plural. Then I remembered the name of the song.)

Death Cab For Cutie - I Was A Kaleidoscope

i put on my overcoat and walked into winter - my teeth chattered rhythms
and they were grouped in twos or threes, like a morse code message was sent from me to me. cars on slippery slopes, they're stuck: people pushing through their mittens as i was beginning to feel it soaking through my shoes, getting colder with every step i took to your apartment, dear.

and i was a kaleidoscope: the snow on my lenses distorting the image of what was only one of you and i didn't know which one to address as all your lips moved.

this is when i forget breathe all the things i scripted, they sound unfounded.
And the look that you're giving me, it tells me exactly what you are thinking:
"this ain't working anymore."

they got their mothers worked into a panic
sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
the parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move then kept them outside til their noises were blue and I got left there, too.

i put on my overcoat and walked into winter, my teeth chattered rhythms.
and they were grouped in twos or threes like a morse code message was sent from me to me.

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees
Blinking down a morse code signal
Especially for me

Ain't no rainbow in the sky
In the middle of the night
But the signal's coming through
One day I will be alright again

Blinking lights on the highway cars
Stopping one by one
Get a look at the accident
Didn't see that one coming

And the doctor in the sky
Gonna bring his chopper down
Gonna bring me out alive
And set me on the ground
Once more again

Blinking lights on the airplane wings
Up above the trees

-Eels, Blinking Lights (For Me)

I think I'm having a JEW thing at the moment...

Jimmy Eat World - Goodbye Sky Harbour

Is tomorrow just a day like all the rest.
How could you know just what you did?
Like all the rest.
How could you know just what you did?
So full of faith yet full of doubt I ask.

Again
I shall ask you this once again.
He said:
"I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?

Time and time again you said
Don't be afraid.
If you believe you can do it.
Don't be afraid.
If you believe you can do it.
The only voice I want to hear is yours.

Again.
I shall ask you this once again.
He said:
"I am but one small instrument."
Do you remember that?

So here I am above palm trees so straight and tall.
You are smaller, gettin smaller.
But I still see you.

Finch - Dreams of Psilocybin

All along the water's edge,
The ripples curl and bend...
As the moon bleeds.
"Satire's no match for the matter of fact"
That's blasphemy!
There's got to be another way...

I wrote it down in blood; "never forget my love"
Faith as endearing as the other side.

Before nightfall cast
A broken shadow much too tall.
Look it's just me...
Graveyard pulls apart the earth,
Revealing all the broken hearts!
I'm not the only one who bleeds...

I wrote it down in blood; "never forget my love"
Faith as endearing as the other side.
I'm on this, freight train with,
Creeping suspicion, hell to pay!

Glassy eyeballs filled with lead,
Painful voices in your head...

And he walked to the stone to engrave
His claim of a thousand souls filled
With shame reaching to the highest
Notch at the top.
With the blood of his wisdom he began
To call the names of the
Vain and the weak willed alike...
I will have you.
Anoint you, wrap you in lies,
To devour you all in the blink of an eye,
In the presence of his majesty.
The rise and fall of the hands
That begat the writing on the wall..
Dripping with blood, (never forget my love)...

It's criminal, more than you know,
The loss in your eyes.
It's critical, it's critical now, the look in my eye.
I have damned myself, to hear this out,
One more time around.
I have damned myself, to hear this out,
One more time.

I wrote it down in blood; "never forget my love"
Faith as endearing, as the other side.
I'm on this, freight train with, derailed suspicion
Writing it all down in blood!

The Cooper Temple Clause - Been Training Dogs

Been training dogs again
To bite your little princess
And making sure they make a scene
Running errands all the way
Communicate in codes
You've just gotta make the in-roads

Holding on - to what you've got
Making plans - just to stay alive
Doing time - oh you bet you will
I'm doing mine - by the side of the road
Making out - cos i'm making good
What it's all about - like i said i would
Then you realise - well, look who's laughing now

We take pride in our work
The key's the execution
And, hey that's what we had in mind
But we're not just having fun
I wouldn't wanna be ya
Cos we're drawing blood if we see ya

And we're not afraid to use animals
Or anything else that'll tear itself a hole
Yeah we'll be just like dumb f**king animals
If that's the kind of game you wanna play

I had to google, I got Kelis stuck in my head and there is no way I was using that. Angry Salad won because they have an awesome name!

Angry Salad - The Milkshake Song

Down and out when I used to walk the same way home from school,
And I’d hoped I see her,
And then, when I didn’t,
I was crushed,
Like the bully stole my lunch.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Yeah, well it, it seems so hard for me to do
To be myself when I’m with you.
With you,
I’m with you.
E-yeah oh, no.

And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more.
And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more than this.

Take me back in time when I,
I didn’t give a f**k
About what I said or did.
And when I,
When I did it, it was done
And nothing more was less.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Yeah, well it, it seems so hard for me to do
To be myself when I’m with you.
I’m with you.
E-yeah, no.

And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more.
And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more than this.

And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more than this.
Any more than this.
More than this.

It seems so hard for me to do,
To be myself when I’m with you.
With you,
I’m with you
E-yeah.

And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more.
And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
It takes away my emptiness.

And she gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more than this.
And She gave me a milkshake and a kiss,
I don’t need a whole lot more than this.

Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

Interpol - Evil

Rosemary, Heaven restores you in life
You're coming with me
Through the ageing, the fearing, the strife

It's the smiling on the package
It's the faces in the sand
It's the thought that moves you upwards
Embracing me with two hands
Right will take you places
Yeah maybe to the beach
When your friends they do come crying
Tell them now your pleasures set upon slow release

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to fate, not denial
(But hey who's on trial?)

It took a lifespan with no cellmate
The long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?

We speaks about travel
Yeah we think about the land
We are smart like all peoples
Feeling real tan
I could take you places
Do you need a new man?
Wipe the pollen from the faces
Make revision to a dream, while you wait in the van

Hey wait
Great smile
Sensitive to fate, not denial
(But hey who's on trial?)

It took a lifespan with no cellmate
To find the long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless; you are exotic
You need something for which to care
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
You've come to love me lightly
Yeah you come to hold me tight
Is this motion everlasting
Or do shudders pass in the night?

Rosemary (Oh!)
Heaven restores you in life

I spent a lifespan with no cellmate
A long way back
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
You're weightless, semi-erotic
You need someone to take you there
Sandy, why can't we look the other way?
Why can't we just play the other game?
Why can't we just look the other way?

Motorhead - Ace of Spades

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace OF Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split, it's
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace OfSpades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades

Thursday - Standing On The Edge Of Summer

n this room
I'm sitting by your side
Cause it rains for hours
and the phone is off its hook
Standing on the edge, casting lots to set me up
before you knock me down,

summer's edge and drown me
Betting on our own lives,
making up for all time we lost
In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades (one breath, one step could knock it all down)
but you lead with your eyes and you give it away
(decide, design to cut from the clouds)
And the people you love get lost in the shuffle,
(When you leave, you leave nothing but broken hearts)
you let it go and then you fold

So we stay on the open road
We drive for hours and still no end in sight at all
Driving in your car, miss the stop sign, fall in love,
just to get knocked out

summer's edge and drown me
Betting on our own lives,
making up for all time we lost
In this house of cards we're all holding hearts and spades (one breath, one step could knock it all down)
but you lead with your eyes and you give it away
(decide, design to cut from the clouds)
And the people you love get lost in the shuffle,
(When you leave, you leave nothing but broken hearts)

Pull your punches and burn with your cigarettes
Pulled like a punch and burnt like a cigarette...forever

We're goin' down the road
Towards tiny cities made of ashes
Gonna hit you in your face I'm gonna punch you in the glasses
Oh no!
I just got a message that said "Yeah, hell is freezin' over."
I got a phone call from the Lord, sayin' "Hey boy, get a sweater.
Right now."

So we're drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' coca-coca-cola
I can feel it rollin' right on down
Oh right on down my throat
And as we're headed down the road
towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm gonna get dressed up in plastic
gonna shake hands with the masses.
Oh no!

Does anybody know a way that
A body could get away? Does anybody know a way?

We're goin' down the road
Towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm gonna hit you in your face
I'm gonna punch you in your glasses
Oh no!
I'm wearin' myself a t-shirt
That says "The world is my ashtray."
Our hearts pump dust and our hairs are all grey
And I just got a message sayin' "Hell has frozen over"
I got a phone call from the Lord, he said
"Hey boy get a sweater.
Right now!"

Does anybody know a way that
A body could get away? Does anybody know a way?

We're drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' drinkin' coca-coca-cola
I can feel it rollin' right on down
Oh right on down my throat
And as we're headed down the road
Towards tiny cities made of ashes
I'm gonna lay down in the spa where they coat you
in molasses.
Oh no!

Tsunami Bomb - Swimming Through Molasses

There's a light inside my head
Flickering but almost dead
My will to be awake
Covered in two tons of sand
More weighed down than when I began
Impossible to get up now, it's too late

And I feel like moving on
And I feel like getting on with life
To feel the presence of the sun on my face
Is what I need to smack those cobwebs into shape

My room is an empty cave
Darkness swallows up the day
The shades are always drawn
Skin as pale as dirty soap
Eyes that do nothing but close
Can't even see that my love of life is gone

And I feel like moving on
And I feel like getting on with life
To feel the presence of the sun on my face
Is what I need to smack those cobwebs into shape

Oh, outside my bed it's cold
Each day I'm swimming through molasses
How will I wipe the sawdust from my eyes?
Each day I'm swimming through molasses

Oh, outside my bed it's cold
Each day I'm swimming through molasses
How will I wipe the sawdust from my eyes?
Each day I'm swimming through molasses

Covered in two tons of sand
More weighed down than when I began
Impossible to get up now, it's too late

And I feel like moving on
And I feel like getting on with life
To feel the presence of the sun on my face
Is what I need to smack those cobwebs into shape

Oh, outside my bed it's cold
Each day I'm swimming through molasses
How will I wipe the sawdust from my eyes?
Each day I'm swimming through molasses

JJ72 - Surrender

My stupid swimming short haul flight
engulfed with my sparkling light
days of years years of days to go

and everything is upside down
and down around we go
but still my thoughs are surrendered

bang and light thats all they do
beings like gods there are too few
holding onto the last dance tonight

pale face in a beach scent
piers of nothing remain cement
days of school learning how to smile

AFI - Synthesthesia

Heartbreak, incarnate, I'm nothing if not your memories
Heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain

Someday, I will be...
I'll be those common words spoken uniquely
Because I may, will forever be floating as you feel.
Where all remaining failed

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past are tear stained and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past are tear stained and wrinkled

(Just say...) Say you will for me (for me)
Invite me to your memory
(Just sing...) Sing again for me (for me)
That long forgotten song

Heartbreak, incarnate, I'm nothing if not your memories
Heartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain

Someday, I will be...
I'll be that waking warmth from a fading dream
Because I will, I may at best
Float as you feel

Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past look distant and wrinkled
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow
Letters of past look distant and wrinkled

(Just say...) Say you will for me (for me)
Invite me to your memory
(Just sing...) Sing again for me (for me)
That long forgotten song

Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words
Let me be all the words

Let me feel the words echo in comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me feel the words echo in comfort, comfort, comfort, comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay

Let me be all the words echoing comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay
Let me be all the words echoing comfort, comfort... comfort
Let me be all the words that you'd unsay, unsay, unsay, unsay

Taking Back Sunday - Miami

The whole truth and nothing but the truth
Stop me if you've heard this one before
The whole truth is nothing but a good excuse
So long as you don't torture me with my past
Let's be honest; a secret silenced is a secret safe

Miami, Miami, Miami
Well every hour on the hour
(Every hour on the hour)
You have to, you just have to trust me
Whoever I was then,
I can't ever be again

Reminders, they are not reluctant
So stop me if you've heard this one before
Sideways blinders,
I can't find a way (around a way) around..

Miami, Miami, Miami
Well every hour on the hour
You have to, you just have to trust me
Whoever I was then,
I can't ever be again

The faith you found I never felt (never felt)
The terror held in wedding bells
And comfort in there's no one else
The truth be told I'm never gonna know

Miami Miami Miami
Well every hour on the hour (every hour on the hour)
Unhand me, God damn me, Miami
Whoever I was then I can't ever be again

The faith you found I never felt (never felt)
The terror held in wedding bells
The comfort in there's no one else
The truth be told I'm never gonna know
The terror held in wedding bells
The comfort in there's no one else
The truth be told I'm never gonna know

My Chemical Romance - Drowning Lessons

Without a sound I took her down,
And dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me.

A kiss goodbye,
Your twisted shell,
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet.
Lets say goodbye,
The hundreth time,
And then tomorrow we'll do it again.
Tomorrow we'll do it again.

I dragged her down,
I put her out,
And back there I left her where no one could see.
And lifeless cold
Into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me.

A kiss goodbye,
Your twisted shell,
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet.
Lets say goodbye,
The hundreth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again.

I never thought it'd be this way.
Just me and you we're here alone.
And if you stay,
All I'm asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up.
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking.

And I'll keep on making more,
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity.
All I'm asking for is...
All I'm asking for is...

These hands stained red
From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene.
We'll laugh as we die,
And we'll celebrate the end of things with cheap champagne.

Without...
Without a sound.
Without...
Without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.
Without a sound, without a sound,
And I wish you away.

Something Corporate - Down

Let's get drunk
You can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God

I'm only posting that one verse because that verse rocks far more than the rest of the song. Or most other songs. Also, its shorter, and short is good.
