(If you find it a bad idea just ignore the thread)

I will make the start...

Guess what my first song is not a surprise...

Lucretia My Reflection

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
Dive, bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down

I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty but you and me,
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then,
We don’t doubt, we don’t take direction
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me…

We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don’t make sense
I don’t see much evidence
I don’t feel
I don’t feel
I don’t feel

A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it’s done…

I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down

We got the empire, now as then,
We don’t doubt, we don’t take reflection,
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me…

The Sisters Of Mercy

My favorite Lyrics is from Blink 182-Degenerate:




Crossed the street naked at night
Bent over to show some moonlight
Pulled out some beer and gulped it down
Nude in a gutter is how I was found
Thrown in a police car and the door slammed
No noise just silence as I screamed my [nocando] was jammed
Now in prison for one month no one to see
All I got is this guy benjamin dover
Don't like hesh-dont like rap-kicked ol' sally cause she's fat-I'm a
jerk I'm a punk took a shower cause i stunk-smoke a bong killed a
cat-had my nuts attacked by rats dad got nude-I wore a thong-for a
hobby
I make bombs
Went to a farm to tip some cows
Forgot that I left my pants down
Bent over to pick them up
Felt a twelve guage next to my !
#$
The farmer took me to his house
Showed me the closet from the inside out
The police came and took me away
Saw ben dover again and he's still gay
Don't like hesh-dont like rap-kicked ol' sally cause she's fat-I'm a
jerk I'm a punk took a shower cause i stunk-smoke a bong killed a
cat-had my nuts attacked by rats dad got dude-I wore a thong-for a
hobby
I make bombs

Diary of dreams - tears of laughter-

I would be crying tears of laughter
If I could see me smile again

I still reach for the stars, but all I touch is my horizon
I still believe my eyes, but all I see is my blindness
I still reach for the stars, but all I touch is my horizon
I still believe my ears, but all I hear is lasting silence

Like a disciple of a witness
I judge upon my sacred eye
Still found the origin
In what's left of me inside

Ca I call this my burden
Or is this just my dream to fly ?

Weaker, weaker every day
I forgot my urge to fly away

And is my life as bare as it is ?
Cold and lonely enough ?
Have you achieved what you were longing for ?
Sad enough this cannot be undone

I drop my eyes and shiver as I see
The reflection in the mirror of me

Have you given up, my friend ?
Forgiveness be mine

It is a great song indeed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

One of my fav "up yours ar-sehole moods songs!"

Sex Pistols

Pretty Vacant

There's no point in asking
you'll get no reply.
Oh just remember a don't decide
I got no reason it's all too much
You'll always find us
out to lunch
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty
we're vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so prettya-vacant
Don't ask us to attend'cos we're not all there.
Oh don't pretend 'cos I don't care
I don't believe illusions 'cos too much is real
So stop your cheap comment'cos we know what we feel
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty
we're vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so prettya-vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty
Ah but nowand we don't care
There's no point... (etc.)
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so pretty
we're vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so prettya-vacant
Oh we're so pretty
Oh so prettyAh
but nowand we don't care
We're pretty
a-pretty vacant
we don't care

Oh dear!!! What memories you brought to my mind now with Pretty Vacant...!!!!

Covenant- Like tears in the rain

Go to the Empire State and watch the city lights
Hear the noise of millions struggle in the sprawl
Stare into the sky, we're few and far between
Black eyes full of stars, wide with memories

Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost

Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has died

Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone

Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died

Lie down in the park and watch the satellites
Hear the children sing just a breath away
Dance in the heavy air along the interstate
Black lung full of fumes, choke on memories

Every street I ever walked
Every home I ever had
Is lost

Every flower I ever held
Every spring I ever had
Has died

Every man I ever knew
Every woman I ever had
Is gone

Everything I ever touched
Everything I ever had
Has died

I love this song, it sounds less depressing than it reads!

Am I Ever Gonna Change by Extreme

Im tired of being me,
and I dont like what I see,
Im not who I appear to be,
So I start off every day,
down on my knees I will pray,
For a change in any way.
But as the day goes by,
I live through another lie,
If its any wonder why

Am I ever gonna change,
Will I always stay the same,
If I say one thing,
Then I do the other,
Its the same old song,
That goes on forever,
Am I ever gonna change,
Im the one to blame,
When I think Im right,
I wind up wrong,
Its a futile fight,
Gone on to long,

Please tell me if its true,
am I too old to start anew,
cuase thats what I want to do,
But time and time again,
when I think I can,
I fall short in the end,
so why do I even try,
will it matter when I die,
Can anyone here my cry?

Am I ever gonna change,
take it day by day
My will is weak
And my flesh is strong
this peace I seek
till thy kingdom comes

Another great song: A-Starbucks


She’s silver rich, i cannot take no more yeah
Don't wanna quit but that's a pretty nice door yeah
I got a bed, it really cost a fortune
I go away and it's too big without you
You got it good; you know how good we got it
You got it bad; you know how bad we got it

I wouldn't swap it for a job in Starbucks
Wouldn't swap it for a job in Starbucks

Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, I'll miss him when he's gone
You don't know what it is; you don't know what it is yeah

He works an automatic, Mr. Clean but I doubt it
He's got to have his say
Who needs him anyway?

Don't get your kind of music
He lets the others choose it
He thinks you kids are freaks
He wants you off the streets

Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, I'll miss him when he's gone
You don't know what it is, you don't know what it is yeah

Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, I'll miss him when he's gone

You don't know what it does to me
You don't know what it means to me

I take it as far as it goes
I don't wanna know what I know
It's too late to talk about it
And I ain't changing any of it
Don't listen to us

Don't want your job in Starbucks
Don't want your job in Starbucks
Don't want your job in Starbucks
Don't want your job in Starbucks

Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, you miss it when it's gone
You don't know what it is
You don't know what it is yeah

Come on, you can have your own way
Come on, you can have your own say
So long, you'll miss him when he's gone
You don't know what it is
You don't know what it is yeah



This song makes me happy and i allways hearing it when i am programming.

LIKE JANIS from the album "Cold Fact" by Sexto Rodriguez

And you measure for wealth by the things you can hold
And you measure for love by the sweet things you're told
And you live in the past or a dream that you're in
And your selfishness is your cardinal sin.

And you want to be held with highest regard
It delights you so much if he's trying so hard
And you try to conceal your ordinary ways
With a smile or a shrug or some stolen cliche.

'Cos emotionally you're the same basic trip
And you know that I know of the times that you've slipped
So don't try to impress me, you're just pins and paint
And don't try to charm me with things that you ain't.

And don't try to enchant me with your manner of dress
'Cos a monkey in silk is a monkey no less
So measure for measure reflect on my said
And when I won't see you then measure it dead.

'Cos don't you understand, and don't you look about
I'm trying to take nothing from you
So why should you act so put out over me?

I just wanted to warn you that the music companies have become quite picky in the last years - I don't hope they'll push in here, but it could happen.

So, please be careful with posting lyrics - rather post a link, I'd say. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

They have become quite picky indeed but its not like we are posting mp3's of the tracks or anything. Just the lyrics should be ok I hope. If not Im afraid Ill just have to destroy the world for being too petty for words. Cats can do that you know *Unsheaths my claws and hisses to prove it*
Mess not with the felines, oh record industry bigwigs!


*Edit: Damn, why did I have to use the word bigwig? Now I have the line "Theres a dog loose in the wood" stuck in my head*

Runaway Train by Soul Asylum

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep there's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night , earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman just a laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch , little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

Tears by Crüxshadows


Reaching out in dead of night
Emptiness by candlelight
Memory, a haunted sea
Souring in sudden rage

The damage plagued upon my love
Driven by this selfish urge
To separate yourself from me
But not the way you planned

The gambit flow of shifting thought
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea
Swims; an ocean silently
Swims; the forest of my dreams
Swims; the essence I call me

Come bringing back now can't explain
The measures swept away in pain
Hatred, will I escape your grasp?
Buried feelings let me pass

I cannot kill this final flame
The fire that once consumed my heart
But Hope must have some kind of fuel
And Chance must keep this fire

The gambit flow of shifting thought
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea
Swims; an ocean silently
Swims; the forest of my dreams
Swims; the essence I call me

(sampled interlude)

The gambit thought...
The gambit flow...
The gambit...

The gambit flow of shifting thought
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
And with each moment of despair
Lay to heart a lovely tear

Within each bone the salty sea
Swims; an ocean silently
Swims; the forest of my dreams
Swims; the essence of my being

The gambit flow of shifting thought
(Swimming out the tears in my eyes)
She'll write a kiss upon my cross
(Looking for the shore)
And with each moment of despair
(I hope that this is the last time)
Lay to heart a lovely tear
(I hope that this is the last time)

some of these sounds good. but some, like Crüxshadows I have no clue about!

I have one from evanescence which i like very much. Maybe not my absolute favorite but in the mood have right now...

So here it comes: Going under:

Now i will tell you what I´ve done for you
50000 tears i cried
scrwaming, decieving and bleeding for you
and you still don´t hear me
don´t want your hand this time i save myself
maybe i´ll wake up for once
not tormented daily defeated by you
just when i thought I´d reach the bottom
I´m dying again.

I´m going under, drowning in you
i´m falling forever
I´ve got to break through
I´m going under

blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
so I don´t know what´s real and whats not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
so i can´t trust myself anymore
I´m dying again

I´m going under, drowning in you
i´m falling forever
I´ve got to break through
I´m going under

So go on and scream, scream at me
I´m so far away
I won´t be broken again
i´ve got to breathe i can´t keep going under

Crüxshadows is Gothic music, Lews. they have a lot of lyrics I like very much.

and yours, Bernhard, is wonderful <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Leave me alone Crüxshadows

Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself
everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
they stare at me all in black
and when I turn they stare at my back
all these things can't,
all these things don't...
let me go.
Leave me alone- I'm a freak
leave me alone- make it easy for yourself
everywhere I go they all stare
I don't understand why they care
and I don't want to be part of your world
and I don't want to see the things you see
can't you understand how I feel?
can't you let me be?

Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone
Leave, leave me alone

cool! can you give me a link or somethign? that sounds cool!

listening to a song called Cidel..
