Posted October 26, 2007 Hmm i've never posted in this thread... Paschendale - Iron Maiden In a foreign field he lay lonely soldier unknown grave on his dying words he prays tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through last communion of his soul rust your bullets with his tears let me tell you 'bout his years Laying low in a blood filled trench killing time 'til my very own death on my face I can feel the falling rain never see my friends again in the smoke, in the mud and lead smell of fear and feeling of dread soon be time to go over the wall rapid fire and the end of us all Whistles, shouts and more gun fire lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb be reunited with my dead friends soon many soldiers eighteen years drown in mud, no more tears surely a war no one can win killing time about to begin Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes the sea of death it overflows in no man's land God only knows into jaws of death we go... Crucified as if on a cross allied troops, they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine such before has never been seen swear I heard the angels cry pray to God no more may die so that people know the truth tell the tale of Paschendale Cruelty has a human heart everyman does play his part terror of the men we kill the human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time gun is ready as I stand in line nervous wait for the whistle to blow rush of blood and over we go... Blood is falling like the rain its crimson cloak unveils again the sound of guns can't hide their shame and so we die in Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire running straight at cannon fire running blind as I hold my breath say a prayer symphony of death as we charge the enemy lines a burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no one hears feel the blood go down my throat Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind across the lines beyond the hill friend and foe will meet again those who died at Paschendale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2007 I just wanna say if people want to visually enhance their lyrics then that's up them, but it's a lot of effort and I can't really be bothered. I don't think it makes much difference anyway. This is a religious song (though I'm not religious, y'know, I'm not preaching here) which I just found quite interesting Jesus is Coming Well, we done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. In the year of 19 and 18, God sent a mighty desease. It killed many a-thousand, on land and on the seas. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. Great desease was mighty and the people were sick everywhere. It was an epidemic, it floated through the air. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. The doctors they got troubled and they didn't know what to do. They gathered themselves together, they called it the Spanishin flu. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. Soldiers died on the battlefield, died in the counts too. Captain said to the lieutenant, "I don't know what to do." We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. Well, God is warning the nation, He's a-warnin them every way. To turn away from evil and seek the Lord and pray. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. Well, the nobles said to the people, "You better close your public schools." "Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too." We done told you, our God's done warned you, Jesus comin soon. We done told Blind Willie Johnson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2007 Old Frank knows how to express what you're feeling, here's a particularly valiant effort on his part: Stormy Weather Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky Stormy weather Since my gal and I ain't together Keeps rainin' all the time Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere Stormy weather Just can't get my poor old self together I'm weary all the time, the time So weary all the time When she went away, the blues walked in and they met me If she stays away, that old rockin' chair's gonna get me All I do is pray the Lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more Can't go on, everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my gal and I ain't together Keeps rainin' all the time Keeps rainin' all the time When she went away, the blues walked in and met me If he stays away, old rockin' chair will get me All I do is pray the Lord above will let me Walk in the sun once more Can't go on, everything I had is gone Stormy weather Since my gal and I ain't together Keeps rainin' all the time, the time Keeps rainin' all the time Give it a listen, I would highlight particular lines in that but they all seem relevant so I hope you give it a read.

Posted October 30, 2007 Untitled Hidden Track by Joss Stone ---- He shares my blood He haunts my soul Will he ever know? Ever know? He's cutting his own skin?! He's my...Brother Come straight from my mother He's stronger than He thinks he is Let Him Know Let Him Know I pray to God, won't he help him? Does he deserve this? I don't know...

Posted November 2, 2007 The Magnetic Fields - Come Back From San Francisco Come back from San Francisco. It can't be all that pretty, when all of New York City misses you. Should pretty boys in discos distract you from your novel, remember I'm awful in love with you. You need me like the wind needs the trees to blow in. Like the moon needs poetry, you need me. Come back from San Francisco and kiss me; I've quit smoking. I miss doing the wild thing with you. Will you stay? I don't think so, but all I do is worry, pack bags, call cabs, and hurry home to me. When you betray me, betray me with a kiss. Damn you. I've never stayed up as late as this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 3, 2007 St. James Infirmary I went down to St. James Infirmary. I saw my baby there. Lying on a long white table, So sweet, so cold, so fair. I went up to see the doctor. 'She's very low,' he said. I went back to see my baby And great god she was lying there dead. I went down to Old Joe's Bar-room. Down on the corner by the square. They were serving drinks as usual. And the usual crowd was there. On my left stood Joe MacKennedy. His eyes were blood-shot red. He turned to the crowd around him And these are the words that he said: Let her go, let her go, God bless her. Wherever she may be. She may search this wide world over But she'll never find another man like me. When I die please bury me In a high top stetson hat. Put a gold piece on my watch chain. So the boys will know I died standing pat. Get six gamblers to carry my coffin. Six chorus girls to sing my song. Put a jazz band on my tailgate To raise hell as we roll along. This is the end of my story. So let's have another round of booze. And if any one should ask you just tell them I've got the St. James Infirmary Blues.

Posted November 10, 2007 Bill Bailey - Love Song (From Part Troll) I was alone, my heart was cold It was a stone My soul was lonely like a stone There was no moss. And when I danced, I danced alone. But then I did not dance, because I was alone. So I did not dance. I shuffled through life, Invisible to all the happy couples Who would mock me With their merry laughter, Ha ha ha. The only sound I heard in my lonely, silent world Was the rusty hammer of my heart Nailing at the hatred in my soul But then you came, And my life was turned upside down You showed me the beauty of the things I had never seen: Like the snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer Or the painting of a dog that wears a deersoaker, and smokes a pipe, that made you laugh so heartily. That I previously thought was rubbish Or the duck That lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winter. But the intoxicating power of our love, transforms this simple act into an anthropomorphic drama. Where Mr Duck's embarrassed, and the other ducks are laughing. Quack quack quack quack And then you LEFT I'll die a thousand deaths and I'll die a thousand more I thought you were an angel, you turned out to be a whore And everything has been turned to dust Everything's been infected with a plague When you had sleep with Craig. Oh he's so sensitive, He's got a tattoo. Yeah, carving your name with a compass into my forehead was not enough for you! The snowflake on the eye of the deer, has turned to pus, that oozes from an open wound The deer, now blinded, stumbles into a ravine. The duck lies shredded in a pancake Soaking in the hoycin of your lies The dog has has moved from the pipe to 60 cigarettes a day And coughs his life away In the cold neon research lab of your betrayal Of your betrayal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 15, 2007 With the thread about god in the general section I thought I'd post this, a good-ol' talkin' blues bout religion Black Cross This is the story of Hezekiah Jones... Hezekiah Jones lived in a place... in Arkansas. He never had too much, except he had some land, An' he had a couple of hogs and things like that. He never had much money But he spent what he did make as fast as he made it, So it never really mattered that he had much money. But in a cupboard there, He kept in the cupboard... he kept in the cupboard books, He called the books his "rainy season." The white folks around the county there talked about Hezekiah... They... said, "Well... old Hezekiah, he's harmless enough, but the way I see it he better put down them goddam books, Readin' ain't no good, for an ignorant nigger." One day the white man's preacher came around Knockin' on doors, knockin' on all the doors in the county, He knocked on Hezekiah's door. He says, "Hezekiah, you believe in the Lord?" Hezekiah says, "Well, I don't know, I never really SEEN the Lord, I can't say, yes, I do..." He says, "Hezekiah, you believe in the Church?" Hezekiah says, "Well, the Church is divided, ain't they, And... they can't make up their minds. I'm just like them, I can't make up mine either." He says, "Hezekiah, you believe that if a man is good Heaven is his last reward?" Hezekiah says, "I'm good... good as my neighbor." "You don't believe in nothin'," said the white man's preacher, You don't believe in nothin'!" "Oh yes, I do," says Hezekiah, "I believe that a man should be indebted to his neighbor Not for the reward of Heaven or fear of hellfire." "But you don't understand," said the white man's preacher, "There's a lot of good ways for a man to be wicked..." Then they hung Hezekiah high as a pigeon. White folks around there said, "Well... he had it comin' 'Cause the son-of-a-bitch never had no religion!" Written by Joseph S. Newman, popularized by Lord Buckley (This is the Bob Dylan Version from the Gaslight Tapes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
