Hello everyone,
I was curious what song lyrics appeal to each of you. Here are my favorite lyrics from the album "Angel Dust" by Faith No More:

Caffeine

Pour shame all over us
Harden into a crust
---cement---
Forget the glamour and
Mumble a jackhammer
---under your breath---

Hide your face in the curtains
Better unsaid so close
And it rolls off the tongue
ALMOST


The world expects a pose
Perfectly natural
---loosen up---
Smearing wet concrete and
Swearing you'll never be
---caught---


At your weakest, etched in stone
And we're frozen here, peeking


ALMOST, sweet talk, CAFFEINE


Make contact
Up to my neck
I confess in quicksand


"But it's so easy for you"
"Yeah, there's always one thing"
"Do you have something to tell me?"
"Say something"
"Anything"


I'm warning you
I'm warning you
I'm fucking you
I'm warning you


"Relax"
"It's just a phase"
"You'll grow out of it"


Believe anything anyone ever tells you


It's not funny anymore
It's the thing you hate the most
The thing you hate the most
The thing you hate ALMOST
 
There are so many good songs

Which do I choose? I'll try something I think will be "realtively" obscure:

Old man river
Said you can go your own way
If you just leave him alone
It doesn't matter
Do not deliver all your things today
We are going home

Mama, we're now so hungry
Mama, we're now so hungry
Mama, we're now so hungry now
We're now so...hungry

I've got bats in the belfry
I'm in the kitchen boiling society
I'm in the open catching all the leaves
We all see what we want

Old man river (Old man river)
Said you can go your own way
If you just leave him alone
It doesn't matter
Do not deliver (do not deliver)
Alll your things today (all your things ooooo)
We are going home

Mama, we're now so hungry
Mama, we're now so hungry
Mama, we're now so hungry now
We're now so...hungry

I've got bats in the belfry
I'm in the kitchen boiling society
I'm in the open catching all the leaves
We all see what we want

I have a crazy idiosyncrasy
Its affinity to serendipity
And this eternal epiphany
No hypocrisy or duplicity

Mama, we're now so hungry
Mama, we're now so hungry
Mama, we're now so hungry now
We're now so...hungry

I've got bats in the belfry
I'm in the kitchen boiling society
I'm in the open catching all the leaves
We all see what we want

- Dispatch, "Bats in the Belfry"
 
when you wanted me i came to you
when you wanted someone else i lived through
when you asked for that i set myself on fire
and if i go
far away
i know you'll find another slave

cause now i'm freed
from what you want
now i'm free
from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are

when you wanted love i cut my veins
and when you wanted love i bled myself again
now all i've had i still love you
i'd give you up forever
and here i go
far away
i know you
you'll find another slave

cause now i'm free
from what you are
now i'm free from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are

than a vision came to me
when you came along
i gave you everything but then you wanted more

cause now i'm free
from what you want
now i'm free
from what you need
now i'm free
from what you are
hey
now i'm free
from what you want
now i'm freed
from what you need
now im free






"You Can't Move Into My House"

Hope you don't think I'm rude
Fuck You

Hope you don't think I'm precious
Fuck You

Hope you see I'm well adjusted:
I can't stand the sight of you

Don't wanna be startin somethin
Don't want to antagonise,
All I said was something simple:
I can't stand the sight of you,
I can't stand the sight of you.

Don't believe, don't believe the words
I don't believe all the things I've heard about you.
I will be saying this in your defense:
I'd rather eat a fridge full of arses than know you.

And I've tried with all my might to see past
all you failing but I've failed to give a fuck


You're a fuck-up, you're a joke,
You're a clown, take your pants down,
Get fucked you fucking fuckwit
no you can't move into my house.


With a range of ethics that are quite perverse
You're sitting in the centre of your own universe

Not content to sit upon the fence, you'll fall
either way ignoring common sense

I look into your eyes and seen a haze
of your twisted sensibilities and little saving grace.

[Chorus]

I believe, I believe the words, of your
best friend when he likened you to a steaming turd.
And when he said he wished that you were dead,
It was the most intelligent thing that anyone's ever said.

And I've tried with all my might to see past
all your failings but I failed to give a fuck.
[Chorus ad nauseum]
 
"Epiphany" by Staind.

Your words to me, just a whisper
Your faces, so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just dissapear

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
Because my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away

'Cause I can't take any more of this
I want to come apart
And dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
And if I talk to you like children
It's 'cause I don't knowhow I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revieled

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I love this song.🙂
 
Looking for the Words to "War"

I had a slumber party last night, and one of the movies we watched was Rush Hour, now I want to find the lyrics to War, anyone out there have that?

Sounds like you had a fun filled night Katherine

Great movies Katherine, I have saw Unfaithful yet. After your description LOL I don't think I'll see that one 😀

On to your request: Great song btw 😉
War -- Edwin Starr

Oh no-there's got to be a better way
Say it again
There's got to be a better way-yeah
What is it good for?
*War has caused unrest
Among the younger generation
Induction then destruction
Who wants to die?
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War-huh
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Yeah
War-I despise
'Cos it means destruction
Of innocent lives
War means tears
To thousands of mothers how
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their lives
I said
War-huh
It's an enemy of all mankind
No point of war
'Cos you're a man
*(Repeat)
Give it to me one time-now
Give it to me one time-now
War has shattered
Many young men's dreams
We've got no place for it today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord, there's just got to be a better way
It ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War
War
War-Good God, now
Now
Give it to me one time now
Now now
What is it good for?

Bluetonic

When I am sad and weary
When all my hope is gone
And I cant put my finger
on the time things first went wrong

I have a little secret
I like to tell myself
And until now I haven't told anybody else
You may not see things my way
Like my method or reason
But you can't tell me
That I'm wrong...

There's no heart that you can't meslt
With a certain little smile
No challenge should be faced
Without a little charm and a lot of style
Don't put you're faith in time
she heals but doesn't change
And only a fool
Won't take the chance to stay the same

When I am sad and weary
When all my hope is gone
I walk around my house and think of you with nothing on
I have a list of things
I can go over in my mind
When I just right back
and watch the world unwind

You may not see things my way
I don't care, 'cos I'm not asking
But you can't tell me that I'm wrong...

and there's no heart you can't melt
With a certain little smile
No challenge should be faced
Without a little charm and a lot of style
Don't put your faith in time
She heals but doesn't change
and only a fool
Would take the chance to stay the same.



I'd post more, i'm in the mood for it, but I'll just do this one for now...

Excellent thread 😀
 
AFFIRMATION - Savage Garden

I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

(chorus)
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

(chorus)

I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

(chorus)


TWO BEDS AND A COFFEE MACHINE - Savage Garden

And she takes another step
Slowly she opens the door
Check that he is sleeping
Pick up all the broken glass and furniture on the floor
Been up half the night screaming now it's time to get away
Pack up the kids in the car
Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast Wonder how I ever made it through

And there are children to think of
Baby's asleep in the backseat
Wonder how they'll ever make it through this living nightmare
But the mind is an amazing thing
Full of candy dreams and new toys and another cheap hotel
Two beds and a coffee machine
But there are groceries to buy
And she knows she'll have to go home

Another ditch in the road
You keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Wonder how I ever made it through

Another bruise to try and hide
Another alibi to write
Another lonely highway in the black of night
But there's hope in the darkness
You know you're going to make it

Another ditch in the road
Keep moving
Another stop sign
You keep moving on
And the years go by so fast
Silent fortress built to last
Wonder how I ever made it

Pearl Jam-Hail Hail
Ah, is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?
I get the words and then I get to thinking.
I don't want to think, I want to feel.
And how do I feel? And how do I...

If you're the only one will I never be enough? Yeah.
Hail hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah.

Oh, how I'll love you til the day I die and beyond.

Hail hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah.

All hail the lucky ones. I refer to those in love. Yeah.
If you're my only one, so could you only one?
I want to be your one. Enough! You won no one. You're one.

Talk to my troubled brain
If you can feel my pain
So much hurting that's living in my head
Now I can barely breathe
And now my heart's disease
And my name and my life has been stepped on
And on' .... NO NO!


You made fool out of me
There is no way out
I'm going down the DRAIN


The name of God in vain
You pushed me, I'm in sane
Dissolution is knocking on my door
Can't stop my bitter tears
Oh, take away my fears
Body and souls is blown up into pieces


        Oh Cry Out... I want to be free
        Dry Out ... I want to know truth


Let me DRAIN my feelings out
Lough like a DRAIN
My emotions scream...
"Let me DRAIN"


So I can... ...Speak my mind
"Anata sae BLIND"
    [You're so blind]
I am left in a land with just solitude
Has this become my fate
Who's next to be your bait
Vicious cycle repeating on and on


        Cry Out ... I want to be loved
        Dry Out ... I want to see dreams
        Oh, Cry Out ... I want to be free
        Dry Out ... I want to know truth


Let me DRAIN my feelings out
Lough like a DRAIN
My emotions scream... "Let me DRAIN

Here are two I really like

WISH YOU WERE HERE: PINK FLOYD
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


BRAIN DAMAGE: PINK FLOYD
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"
 
Here are two more sets of lyrics from my favorite band ( see if you can guess who that is 🙄 ):





H.


What's coming through is alive.
What's holding up is a mirror.
But what's singing songs is a snake
Looking to turn this piss to wine.



They're both totally void of hate,
But killing me just the same.



The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.



And I feel this coming over like a storm again.
Considerately.



Venomous voice, tempts me,
Drains me, bleeds me,
Leaves me cracked and empty.
Drags me down like some sweet gravity.



The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been.
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again.



And I feel this coming over like a storm again.



I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me.



Without the skin,
Beneath the storm,
Under these tears
The walls came down.



And the snake is drowned and
As I look in his eyes,
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of those times.



I could have cried then.
I should have cried then.



And as the walls come down and
As I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died
and will die.
It's all right.
I don't mind.



I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,



And considerately killing me.






46and2:




My shadow's



Shedding skin and
I've been picking
Scabs again.
I'm down
Digging through
My old muscles
Looking for a clue.



I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own confused
And insecure delusions
For a piece to cross me over
Or a word to guide me in.
I wanna feel the changes coming down.
I wanna know what I've been hiding in



My shadow.
Change is coming through my shadow.
My shadow's shedding skin
I've been picking
My scabs again.



I've been crawling on my belly
Clearing out what could've been.
I've been wallowing in my own chaotic
And insecure delusions.



I wanna feel the change consume me,
Feel the outside turning in.
I wanna feel the metamorphosis and
Cleansing I've endured within



My shadow
Change is coming.
Now is my time.
Listen to my muscle memory.
Contemplate what I've been clinging to.
Forty-six and two ahead of me.



I choose to live and to
Grow, take and give and to
Move, learn and love and to
Cry, kill and die and to
Be paranoid and to
Lie, hate and fear and to
Do what it takes to move through.



I choose to live and to
Lie, kill and give and to
Die, learn and love and to
Do what it takes to step through.



See my shadow changing,
Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor.
Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow,
Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
Forty six and two are just ahead of me.








Anyone got anymore?
 
From when lyrics were UNDERSTOOD...

DON'T FENCE ME IN
(Cole Porter)

This was a monster hit for Bing and the Andrews Sisters during World War II. Bing entered the studio on July 25, 1944, without having seen nor heard the song. Within 30 minutes he recorded the song, which then sold more than a million copies and topped the Billboard charts for 8 weeks in 1944-45.

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in.

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies.
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hovels and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies,
Don't fence me in.
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love,
Don't fence me in.
Let me be by myself in the evenin' breeze
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please,
Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose, let me straddle my old saddle
Underneath the western skies
On my Cayuse, let me wander over yonder
Till I see the mountains rise.
Ba boo ba ba boo.

I want to ride to the ridge where the west commences
And gaze at the moon till I lose my senses
And I can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in.
No.
Poppa, don't you fence me in

(No, this isn't my favorite song, but I don't want to be fenced in, either.) 😀
 
"Murder She Wrote" - Chaka Demus & Pliers

I know this little girl
Her name is Maxine

Murder she wrote
Murder she wrote
Murder she wrote

Watch ya now, it name

A pretty face
And bad character

But yuh character dirty

Great thread idea! I always discover the cooles things via threads like this one! 😀I can honestly say that (of the songs y'all listed that I know) I like everyone of them! Saw Staind last year I think...or longer ago...AWESOME choice! Three of my favorite songs follow!


Sarah McLachlan - Good Enough

Hey your glass is empty
It's a hell of a long way home
Why don't you let me take you
It's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
But you seemed so real to me
After all the bullshit i've heard
It's refreshing not to see
I don't have to pretend
She doesn't expect it from me

So don't tell me
I haven't been good to you
So don't tell me
I haven't been there for you
Just tell me why
Nothing is good enough

Hey little girl
Would you like some candy
Your momma said that it's okay
The door is open
Come on outside
No I can't come out today
It's not the wind that's cracked your shoulder
And threw you to the ground
Who's there that makes you so afraid
You're shaken to the bone
You know I don't understand
You deserve so much more than this

So don't tell me why
He's never been good to you
Don't tell me why
He's never been there for you
And I'll tell you that
Why simply isn't good enough

So just let me try
And I will be good to you
Just let me try
And I will be there for you
I'll show you why
You're so much more
Than good enough


I have a soft spot for Mary Chapin Carpenter's lyrics.
Say it Was Only a Dream....this song is beautiful and soft, yet strong at the same time. It has one of those sounds that you just keep humming long after the song is gone the beat the air elsewhere. That is is full of emotion about some rough stuff makes it even harder to not love!

I can recall the sound of the wind
As it blew throught the trees and the trees would bend
I can recall the smell of the rain
On a hot summer night
Coming through the screen
I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed
And I'd still be there when the storm had passed
Dead to the world, to the morning cast
Its light all around your room

We lived on a street where the tall elm shade
Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade
That you held in your teeth as we lay on our backs
Staring up at the blue and the blue stared back

I used to believe we were just like those trees
We'd grown just as tall and as proud as we pleased
With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze
Under a sheltering sky

Twirl me about, and twirl me around
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
And when I look up at you looking down,
Say it was only a dream

A big truck was parked in the drive one day
They wrapped us in paper and moved us away
Your room was no longer next door to mine
And this kid sister thing was old by that time

But oh how our dreams went bump in the night
And the voices downstairs getting into a fight
And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife
And feel like a blade at your throat

Twirl me about and twirl me around
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
When I look up at you looking down
Say it as only a dream

The day you left home you got an early start
I watched your car back out in the dark
I opened the door to your room down the hall
I turned on the light
And all that I saw
Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks
No sign of someone who expects to be back
It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed

Twirl me about, twirl me around
Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground
When I look up at you looking down
Say it was only a dream



Pontiac by Lyle Lovett. Listen to it if ya ever get a chance.
It's like poetry Man!

I park my pontiac
Down the hill out in back
Late every afternoon
With a coke and a cigarette
And all of the neighbors there
They see a nice old man

And the girl there across the street
She sits on her front porch swing
She never realized
What I told her with my eyes
How back in the second war
I killed twenty German boys
With my own bare hands

And the woman inside my house
She won't stop talking
She never says a thing
She just keeps talking
And I might just leave her still
After the sun goes down
And I smoke this cigarette
 
I want to see more from you people so I'm going to attempt to keep this going a little longer, I like what I've seen so far (especially the Busta Rhymes and the Floyd),here is some more:

This one's from Sunny Day Real Estate:
How It Feels to Be Somthing On

If I break down all that I am
A field of wires we'll see what it's worth to walk
To break the lines
Of alternate street
If I turn around what matters the most in time
We’re going nowhere
Don’t tell me now
The days I've had
To fill it up but spill instead
Talk to remind
Days weeks and hours
All in time will be
Later on we'll try
Hollow peaks we've climbed
All these things I've seen
How it feels to be something on
That’s how the days go
If I break down all that I am
A field of wires we'll see what it's worth to walk
To break the lines
Of alternate steel
If I turn around what matters the most
In time we're going nowhere
Don’t tell me god
The dreams I've had
To fill it up but spill instead
Talk to remind
All in time will be
Later on we'll try
All we gave to fly
Hollow peaks we've climbed
All these things I've been
How it feels to be something on

Here's one from Soulfly:

Prejudice

Shame of all nations
What seeds do we plant in an infant's mind?
Seeds of destruction
And don't you trust their kind?
This hate is deep-rooted, get rid of the weed
Destroying the harvest
Of peace that we need

Prejudice
Shame of all nations

We got to live in the same neighborhood
When you take a man's life it don't mean that you're good
Same blood runs through your veins
Your hate proves youre insane
See a man's face but you can't see his heart
Don't even know him but you tear him apart
Them kind of things, they're just killing off the Earth
Madness, mayhem, we must desert...

Prejudice
Shame of all nations
Breeding hate, don't need no segregation

If dirty people are all I can see
Then in their eyes the same dirt covers me
Take off the blindfold, it's time to enlighten
Come out of the wickedness, step out of the night
One man's agony is another man's joy
For self satisfaction we're prepared to destroy
One man, one earth and one destiny
To kill Satan and give God the glory...

Prejudice
Shame of a nation
Breeding hate, dont cause annihilation

For real...


I want to post some Buck65 lyrics but I can't find them right now, so I'll be back later (unless someone has the lyrics to "Sleep Apnoa" [yeah I know it's spelled wrong but that's how it's written on the album]and post them)

Thanks to everyone for their input of wonderful song lyrics.

-Phil
