I'VE GOT LOADS:

 

Arcade Fire - Intervention

The king's taken back the throne

The useless seed is sown

When they say they're cutting off the phone

I'll tell 'em you're not home

 

No place to hide

You were fighting as a soldier on their side

You're still a soldier in your mind

Though nothing's on the line

 

You say it's money that we need

As if we're only mouths to feed

I know no matter what you say

There are some debts you'll never pay

 

Working for the church

While your family dies

You take what they give you

And you keep it inside

Every spark of friendship and love

Will die without a home

Hear the solider groan, "We'll cry alone"

 

I can taste the fear

It's gonna lift me up and take me out of here

Don't wanna fight, don't wanna die

Just wanna hear you cry

 

Who's gonna throw the very first stone?

Oh! Who's gonna reset the bone?

Walking with your head in a sling

Wanna hear the soldier sing

 

Been working for the Church

While my family dies

Your little baby sister's

Gonna lose her mind

Every spark of friendship and love

Will die without a home

Hear the soldier groan "We'll go at it alone"

 

I can taste your fear

It's gonna lift you up and take you out of here

And the bone shall never heal

I care not if you kneel

 

We can't find you now

But they're gonna get the money back somehow

And when you finally disappear

We'll just say you were never here

 

Working for the church

While your life falls apart.

Singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart

Every spark of friendship and love

Will die without a home

Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"

Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone"

 

Jeff Buckley - Forget Her

But don't fool yourself,

she was heartache from the moment that you met her.

My heart is frozen still as I try to find the will to forget her, somehow,

She’s somewhere out there now.

 

Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalised

Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to. I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted to. It seems like I concentrate on it real hard but it just doesn't work out. Everything I do and everything I try never turns out. It's like I need time to figure these things out. But there's always someone there going. Hey Mike: You know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately. You know, maybe you should get away and like, maybe you should talk about it, maybe you'll feel a lot better. And I go: No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. You know I'll just work it all by myself. And they go: Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it. Why don’t you talk about it? And I go: No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself and they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside and it builds up inside.

So you're gonna be institutionalized. You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes.

You won't have any say. They'll brainwash you until you see their way.

 

I'm not crazy - institutionalized

You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized

You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help to protect me from the enemy, myself

 

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything. But then again I was thinking about nothing. And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name. And I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE! And I go: What, what's the matter? And she goes: What's the matter with you? I go: There's nothing wrong mom. And she goes: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs! And I go: No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know why don't you get me a Pepsi? And she goes: NO you're on drugs! I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking. She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way! I go: Mom just give me a Pepsi please! All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me! All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me. Just a Pepsi!

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves! Tied around your back, you're treated like thieves!

Drug you up because they're lazy! It's too much work to help a crazy!

 

I'm not crazy - institutionalized

You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized

You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help, to protect me from the enemy, myself

 

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down, they go: Mike, we need to talk to you. And I go: Okay what's the matter? They go: Me and your mom have been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of problems, you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're gonna hurt somebody, we're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself. So we decided that it would be in your best interest if we put you somewhere where you could get the help that you need. And I go: Wait, what are you talking about, we decided!? My best interest?! How can you know what's MY best interest is? How can you say what MY best interest is? What are you trying to say I'm crazy? When I went to your schools, I went to your churches; I went to your institutional learning facilities?! So how can you say I'm crazy?

They say they're gonna fix my brain. Alleviate my suffering and my pain.

But by the time they fix my head. Mentally I'll be dead.

 

I'm not crazy - institutionalized

You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized

You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution, said it was the only solution

To give me the needed professional help, to protect me from the enemy, myself

 

It doesn't matter I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.

[DCK]

Props to you for mentioning Intervention Villan, it's got fantastic lyrics.

I'm ahead, I'm a man

I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah

I'm at peace with my lust

I can kill cause in God I trust, yeah

It's evolution, baby

 

I'm at peace, I'm the man

Buying stocks on the day of the crash

On the loose, I'm a truck

All the rolling hills, I'll flatten em out

It's herd behavior

It's evolution, baby

 

Admire me, admire my home

Admire my song, here's my coat

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This land is mine, this land is free

I'll do what I want here irresponsibly

It's evolution, baby

 

I'm a thief, I'm a liar

There's my church, I sing in the choir:

(hallelujah hallelujah)

 

Admire me, admire my home

Admire my song, admire my clothes

cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast

Those ignorant indians got nothin' on me

Nothing, why?

Because, it's evolution, baby!

 

I am ahead, I am advanced

I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah

I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher

Twenty-ten, watch it go to fire

It's evolution, baby

It's evolution, baby

Do the evolution

Come on, come on, come on

 

[Bluejay]

I'll shall post two Tool lyrics, one because they are good, the other as it amuses me and most of my friends.

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.

Let me lay my holy hand upon you.

My gods' will becomes me. When he speaks, he speaks through me.

He has needs. Like I do. We both want to rape you.

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now.

 

Some say the end is near.

Some say we'll see armageddon soon.

I certainly hope we will.

I sure could use a vacation from this

 

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks

 

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any fucking time. Any fucking day.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

 

Fret for your figure and

Fret for your latte and

Fret for your lawsuit and

Fret for your hairpiece and

Fret for your prozac and

Fret for your pilot and

Fret for your contract and

Fret for your car.

 

It's a

Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks

 

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA

The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.

Any fucking time. Any fucking day.

Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay.

 

Some say a comet will fall from the sky.

Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves.

Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still.

Followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits.

 

Some say the end is near.

Some say we'll see armageddon soon.

I certainly hope we will 'cause

I sure could use a vacation from this

 

Stupid shit, Silly shit, stupid shit...

 

One great big festering neon distraction,

I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied.

 

Learn to swim.

 

Mom's gonna fix it all soon.

Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be.

 

Learn to swim.

 

Fuck L Ron Hubbard and

Fuck all his clones.

Fuck all these gun-toting

Hip gangster wannabes.

 

Learn to swim.

 

Fuck retro anything.

Fuck your tattoos.

Fuck all you junkies and

Fuck your short memory.

 

Learn to swim.

 

Fuck smiley glad-hands

With hidden agendas.

Fuck these dysfunctional,

Insecure actresses.

 

Learn to swim.

 

'cause I'm praying for rain

And I'm praying for tidal waves

I wanna see the ground give way.

I wanna watch it all go down.

Mom please flush it all away.

I wanna see it go right in and down.

I wanna watch it go right in.

Watch you flush it all away.

 

Time to bring it down again.

Don't just call me pessimist.

Try and read between the lines.

 

I can't imagine why you wouldn't

Welcome any change, my friend.

 

I wanna see it all come down.

put it down.

suck it down.

flush it down.

 

 

Edit: Spoilered for page hog.

Turtle Edit: They are both funny actually. L Ron Hubbard lol.

Holy shit I like the edit button EDIT: It appears all Tool songs have amusing lyrics.

This bog is thick and easy to get lost in,

'cus you're a dumb ass, belligerent fucker.

I hope it suck, I hope it suck, I hope it sucks you fucker,

I hope it suck, I hope it suck, I hope it sucks you down.

Sheila goes out with her mate Stella

It gets poured all over her fella

‘Cause she says, "man he ain’t no better

Than the next man kicking up fuss"

Drunk, she stumbles down by a river

Screams calling London

None of us heard her coming; I guess the carpet weren’t rolled out.

 

Her lingo went from the Cockney to the Gringo,

Anytime she sing a song the other girls sing along,

And tell all the fellas that the lady is single,

Fickle way to tickle on my young man’s ting.

She’s up for doing what she like any day, more like the night.

She downed, drunk sorrows that she stole,bought,borrowed

She didn’t like fights but at the same time understood

Fellas will be fellas 'til the end of time

 

Bluh!

 

Jack had a gang that he called "The Many grams",

He was known as Smack Jack the Crackerman,

In life he was dealt some shit hands,

But the boys' got the back now

And Jay went the same way as Micky and Dan

Dependent mans upon the heroin

And man, Lisa had a baby with Sam,

And now Jack’s on his own man

Well done, Jack! Glug! Down that cider

You’re right - she’s a slut and you never fucking liked her

Not like, what, He stopped so shocked,

Cause it turned out the last dance killed the pied piper

Tough little big man,

Friends with your daughters, only ‘cause they drive him to pick up all his quarters.

Brawler, larger lout brawlers, fall to the floor and they're free?

But they ain’t near da border

Too young gunned down held by the corner, always did a favour but never took a order

Behave young scallywag! A fine young Galahad

Glad ragged up, but only ever getting fag hags,

Hung on his shoulder, cheap price shop tags,

Slag better understand he came for the glamour,

But this towns original, superficial the issue,

For one dear Jack, 35 doppelgangers

 

Sheila goes out with her mate Stella

It gets poured all over her fella

‘Cause she says, "man he ain’t no better

Than the next man kicking up fuss"

Drunk, she stumbles down by a river

Screams calling London

None of us heard her coming; I guess the carpet weren’t rolled out.

 

So this is a short story about the girl Georgina,

Never seen a worse, clean young mess

Under stress, at best but she pleased to see you

With love, God Bless, we lay her body to rest

Now it all dear started with Daddy’s alcoholic

Lightweight, chinking down, numbing his brain

And the doctor said he couldn’t get the heart dear started,

Now beat up, drugged up, she feeling the strain

She said, “In a rut what the fuck I’m supposed to do?”

Suck it up, start,stop. keep running through,

“True, but you try it ain’t easy to do.”

She been buckle-belt, beaten from the back like a brat

Dunno where she’s going, but she know where she at,

So Georgie - it’s time to chain react

But the truth is, you know, she’ll probably fall back

Tears stream down her face, she screamed away:

“When I fall, no-one catch me,

Alone, lonely, I'll overdose slowly, get scared, I’ll scream and shout” -

But you know it won’t matter she’ll be passing out,

I said gigidy-bigidy-up

Just another day

Another sad story that's tragedy -

Paramedics announced death at 10.30

Rip it up, kick it, spit out the views.

Thoughts of a dying atheist - Muse

 

scares the hell out of me

and the end is all I can see

and it scares the hell out of me

and the end is all I can see

 

and I know the moment's near

and there's nothing you can do

look for your faith inside

are you afraid to die?

[chairdriver]

Does your girlfriend know she'll be a widow the same day she's a bride?

 

 

I didn't mean literally play at my wedding and funeral, just like its special to me.

 

Also I'm gay, so its unlikely I'll ever have to break the news to a girlfriend.

[Bluejay]

Also I'm gay, so its unlikely I'll ever have to break the news to a girlfriend.

 

Good news, so is every other member of this forum.

 

 

Apart from me.

Hero - Nickelback

 

I am so high, i can hear hevan

I am so high, i can hear hevan

but hevan, no hevan, don't hear me

And they say that a hero could save us

I'm not gonna stand here and wait

I'll hold onto the wings of the eagles

And watch as they all fly away

[conzer16]

Dance With My Father Again

 

Back when I was a child

Before life removed all the innocence

My father would lift me high

And dance with my mother and me and then

 

 

Spin me around till I fell asleep

Then up the stairs he would carry me

And I knew for sure

I was loved

 

 

If I could get another chance

Another walk, another dance with him

I’d play a song that would never, ever end

How I’d love, love, love to dance with my father again

 

 

I know I’m prayin’ for much too much

But could You send back the only man she loved

I know You don’t do it usually

But Lord, she’s dyin’ to dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep

And this is all I ever dream

[Retro_Link]

Watch us wreck the mic,

Watch us wreck the mic,

Watch us wreck the mic..............Psyche!

[chairdriver]

I'm doomed to fail...

The stage gives way.

 

It's an apostrophe to my legacy.

 

But though I'm bruised...

I'll happily do it all again!

 

 

Karaoke Queen - Catatonia

[Dyson]

Good news, so is every other member of this forum.

 

 

Apart from me.

 

I was thinking the same thing

[Bluejay]

I was thinking the same thing

 

Homophobe lololololol

[Paj!]

once had no fears

None at all

And then when

I had some

 

To my surprise

I grew to like both

Scared or brave

Without them

 

The thrill of fear

Thought I'd never admit it

The thrill of fear

Now greatly enjoyed with courage

 

When I once was

Untouchable

Innocence roared

Still amazes

 

When I once was

Innocent

It's still here

 

But in different places

 

Neurosis

Only

Attaches

Itself to

Fertile

Ground

Where it can flourish

 

The thrill of fear

Thought I'd never admit it

The thrill of fear

Now greatly enjoyed with courage

 

When I once was

Fearless !

Innocence roared

Still amazes

 

Untouchable

Innocence

It's still here

But in different places

 

Fear is a powerful drug

Overcome it and

You think that you can do

Anything!

 

Should I

Save myself

For later

Or generously give?

 

Fear of

Losing

Energy

Is draining

 

It locks up your chest

Shuts down the heart

Miserly

And stingy

Let's open up : share!

 

When I once was

Fearless

Innocence roared

Still amazes

 

Untouchable

Innocence

It's still here

But in different places

 

Innocence - Bjork

[Dyson]

Homophobe lololololol

 

No no no!

[Bluejay]

No no no!

 

:laughing: :wink:

 

I know the pieces fit

'Cause I watched them fall away

Mildewed and smouldering

Fundamental differing

Pure intention juxtaposed

Will set two lovers' souls in motion

Disintegrating as it goes

Testing our communication

The light that feuled our fire then

Has a burned a hole between us so

We cannot see to reach an end

Crippling our communication

 

I know the pieces fit

'Cause I watched them tumble down

No fault, none to blame

It doesn't mean I don't desire to

Point the finger, blame the other

Watch the temple topple over

To bring the pieces back together

Rediscover communication

 

The poetry

That comes from the squaring off between

And the circling is worth it

Finding beauty in the dissonance

 

There was a time that the pieces fit

But I watched them fall away

Mildewed and smouldering

Strangled by our coveting

I've done the math enough to know

The dangers of our second guessing

Doomed to crumble unless we grow

And strengthen our communication

 

Cold silence has

A tendency to

Atrophy any

Sense of compassion

Between supposed brothers

Between supposed lovers

[Gizmo]

Incubus: Get Out from Under

 

To resist is to piss in the wind;

Anyone who does will end up smelling.

 

I win at thie thread! :p

[Ellmeister]

How much is real?

So much to question

An epidemic of the mannequins

contaminating everything

We thought came from the heart

But never did right from the start

Just listen to the noises

(Null and void instead of voices)

Before you tell yourself

It's just a different scene

Remember it's just different from what you've seen

 

I'm looking at you through the glass

Don't know how much time has passed

And all I know is that it feels like forever

But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home

Sitting all alone inside your head

 

Stone sour-Through the Glass. I was obsessed with that song for a while.

[The Bard]

For some wierd reason, I've got this stuck in my head:

 

The Coral - Dreaming of You

 

Up in my lonely room

When I'm dreaming of you,

I still need you, but...

I don't want you now...

 

by no means my favourite lyrics, but I've got it stuck in my head. Good song.

[Noodleman]

I have been singing El President by Drugstore, in my head all day.

 

Drugstore

Yeah yeah ya...

Came from the skies

Burst through the gates

With no mercy or disguise

With their hearts set out in flames

I know; Ive seen the masterplan...

Well Im just a man

(I am just a man)

Im not giving in

All the people understand

cos they all fell down and prayed

I know;

Ive seen the masterplan:

kill the president

They killed the president

They killed the president

Came from the skies

(came from the skies)

In all shades of green

We can always justify

We can measure up your dreams

I know;

Ive seen the masterplan:

kill the president

They killed the president

Yeah yeah ya...

Yeah yeah ya...

Yeah yeah ya...

They killed the president

Theyve killed the president

Im just a man

[Oxigen_Waste]

I shall say but a single sentence from a single song wich is probably the best line ever spoken in a song:

 

I'll tell you this, no eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.

 

Jim Morrison was a god.

[Goron_3]

Changes by 2pac

 

I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself

is life worth living should I blast myself?

I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black

my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro

pull the trigger kill a nigga he's a hero

Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares

one less hungry mouth on the welfare

First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers

give 'em guns step back watch 'em kill each other

It's time to fight back that's what Huey said

2 shots in the dark now Huey's dead

I got love for my brother but we can never go nowhere

unless we share with each other

We gotta start makin' changes

learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers

and that's how it's supposed to be

How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?

I'd love to go back to when we played as kids

but things changed, and that's the way it is

 

[Chorues with changing ad libs]

Come on come on

That's just the way it is

Things'll never be the same

That's just the way it is

aww yeah

[Repeat]

 

[Verse 2]

I see no changes all I see is racist faces

misplaced hate makes disgrace to races

We under I wonder what it takes to make this

one better place, let's erase the wasted

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right

'cause mo' black and white is smokin' crack tonight

and only time we chill is when we kill each other

it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

And although it seems heaven sent

We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh

It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact

the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks

But some things will never change

try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game

Now tell me what's a mother to do

bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you

You gotta operate the easy way

"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way

sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"

Well hey, well that's the way it is

 

[Chorus]2X

 

[2pac Talking]

We gotta make a change...

It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.

Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live

and let's change the way we treat each other.

You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do

what we gotta do, to survive.

 

[Verse 3]

And still I see no changes can't a brother get a little peace

There's war in the streets and war in the middle east

Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs

so the police can bother me

And I ain't never did a crime I ain't have to do

But now I'm back with the facts givin' em back to you

Don't let 'em jack you up, back you up,

crack you up and pimps Smack you up

You gotta learn to hold ya own

they get jealous when they see ya with ya mobile phone

But tell the cops they can't touch this

I don't trust this when they try to rush I bust this

That's the sound of my tool you say it ain't cool

my mama didn't raise no fool

And as long as I stay black I gotta stay strapped

& I never get to lay back

'Cause I always got to worry 'bout the pay backs

some buck that I roughed up way back

comin' back after all these years

rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat that's the way it is uhh

 

Chorus 2x

 

Some things will never change...

 

 

best lyrics ever imo.

[Ashley]

Because I'm bored, moresies:

 

Neko Case - Hold On Hold On

The most tender place in my heart is for strangers

I know it's unkind but my own blood is much too dangerous

 

Gotta love being closed off.

 

Gym Class Heroes - The Queen and I

I love it how she breathes booze in the mornin'

Man, it's so sexy how she can't remember last night

I made a fatal mistake letting her drink again

Well who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life?

 

The whole song really but thought I'd chose that. It reminds me of my friend who is so damn hot and I know nothing will ever happen but we're so close so at least it looks good to others as we tend to get touchy on the dance floor and every guy there wants her.

 

Louis XIV - Pledge of Allegiance

She says head case head case

Turn that thing around

Let's play a game when you hear me make a sound

Just go quite a bit faster

Pretend that I'm gagged and bound

Oh how I love to hear that sound

Milkshake milkshake I love to feel you sweat

We don't have to go to the pool

If you want me to make you wet

Can you keep a secret

Because the best little secrets are kept

And you're my best little secret yet

 

Smutty and I love it.

[The fish]

Just listened to it, and thought I'd post it as it's such a damn good song!

 

Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist - Muse

Eerie whispers

trapped beneath my pillow

won't let me sleep

your memories

 

I know you're in this room

I'm sure I heard you sigh

floating in-between

where our worlds collide

 

It scares the hell out of me

and the end is all I can see

and it scares the hell out of me

and the end is all I can see

yea yea yeaaaaa yea yea

yea yea yea

yea yea o aaa oaaaaaaa!!

 

It is, as with all Muse songs, much better when heard sung with the music.

[Mr. Bananagrabber]

Fucking hell do I have a new set of favorite lyrics.
