laFille, great lyrics, I just love them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. That's why I posted them first <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />. A little further below I allso posted Ugly which is The Smashing Pumpkins lyrics imho <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. It's truer what truth itself...

Some Curelyrics. From the Wish album btw. I'm not that fond of the album, but the songs are great <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.

A letter to Elise by the above mentioned Cure

Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
Every way to smile forget and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this

Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
I know I'll never really get inside of you
to make your eyes catch fire the way they should
The way the blue could pull me in
if they only would
if they only would
At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else that hides away
From me and you there're worlds to part
with aching looks and breaking hearts
and all the prayers your hands can make
but I just take as much as you can throw
and then throw it all away
oh i throw it all away
Like throwing faces at the sky
Like throwing arms round

Yesterday
I stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you
And the face i saw looked back the way i wanted to
but i just can't hold my tears away the way you do

Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
But I let the dream go
And the promises broke and the make-believe ran out...

Oh Elise
It doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday like keep on acting out the same the way we act out
Every way to smile forget and make-believe we never needed
any more than this
any more than this

And every time I try to pick it up like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up it suns away through my clutching hands
But there's nothing else I can really do
There's nothing else I can really do
at all...

From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea, still Cure. I think Robert Smith has some kind of thing with water, and here particually seas...

Every time we do this
I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave
It's all for her
And I know this can't be wrong I say
and I'll lie to keep her happy as long as I know that you know
that today I belong right here with you
right here with you...

And so we watch the sun come up from the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So I try
Put your hands in the sky
Surrender
Remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye...

I've never been so colourfully-see-through-head before
I've never been so wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
And all I want is to keep it like this
You and me alone
A secret kiss
And don't go home, don't go away
Don't let this end
Please stay
Not just for today

Never never never never never let me go she says
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
But suddenly she slows and looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? What did i say?
But it's just rain i smile
brushing my tears away...

I wish i could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
too many times
too many years I've cried over you

How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry, take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something we will always want?

Why why why are you letting me go? she says
I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape...
And just as I'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all...

I whish i could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried for you
It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away from home again...

More than words by Extreme

Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

The band is known for their songs that are more metal of grunge or whatever it's called but this is the song I like the most.

Talking Heads - Psycho killer

I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I
Can’t relax
I can’t sleep ‘cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire

Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

You start a conversation you can’t even finish it.
You’re talkin’ a lot, but you’re not sayin’ anything.
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Say something once, why say it again?

Psycho Killer,
Qu’est-ce que c’est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer
Qu’est-ce que c’est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

Ce que j’ai fais, ce soir la
Ce qu’elle a dit, ce soir la
Realisant mon espoir
Je me lance, vers la gloire ... OK
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they’re not polite

Psycho Killer,
Qu’est-ce que c’est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away
Psycho Killer,
Qu’est-ce que c’est
fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
Run run run run run run run away

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh....

I like the psycho killer song <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

My life by Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend
We used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak you mind
But not on my time

They will tell you you can't sleep alone
In a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep
With somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay
You wake up with yourself

I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
I still belong, don't get me wrong
And you can speak you mind
But not on my time
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life and leave me alone

Wildfire
by Michael M. Murphey

She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire

By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be riding Wildfire

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

The Spirit
by Magnum

Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall
Street corner justice beware
The spirit will find you always be fair
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
In lies your heart will not share
The spirit inside used without care

The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care

The battlefield of glory pales into rust
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust
No beast alive does compare
The spirit beside you everywhere
Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard
Your conscience could not repair
The spirit inside used without care

'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide
And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide

The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind
The loss of choices praises no-one will sing
No clues to how you will fare
The spirit implores you tread where you dare
The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor
Distinction disappears the worm both deplore
The candle burns out once more
But the spirit inside you won't be ignored

@Ube
I love everything they made of this song (Tonight, Tonight); the lyrics are beautiful, the music is good, and the videoclip is great and reinforces the song's particular spirit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But what is truer than truth itself? That you posted the lyrics first or the lyrics of Ugly themselves? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />


Creed - Higher

When I’m dreaming I’m guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
Cause I don’t want to leave the comfort of this place
Cause there’s a hunger, longing to escape
From the life I live when I’m awake

So lets go there
Lets make our escape
Come on; let’s go there
Lets ask can we stay?

Chorus
Can you take me higher?
To the place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To the place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But my friend I’d sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate

So lets go there
Lets make our escape
Come on; let’s go there
Lets ask can we stay?

Chorus

So lets go there
Lets go there
Come on; lets go there
Lets ask can we stay

Up high I feel like I’m alive for the very first time
Sat up high I’m strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine (X2)

Chorus (X2)

Billy Joel - Honesty

If you search for tenderness
It isn’t hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honest is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don’t want some pretty face
To tell me party lies
All I want is someone to believe

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honest is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security
Until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know

When I’m deep inside of me
Don’t be too concerned
I won’t as for nothin’ while I’m gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because you’re the one I depend upon

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honest is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

LaFille, it IS true that I posted tonight tonight first, but ugly is yet truer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. Havn't seen the the Tonight video in a while thought. That one and Zero is part of my childhood <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />.

I'd Really Love To See You Tonight
by Parker McGee

Hello, yeah, it's been a while.
Not much, how 'bout you?
I'm not sure why I called,
I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.
And I was thinking maybe later on,
We could get together for a while.
It's been such a long time,
And I really do miss your smile.

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and
I'd really love to see you tonight.

We could go walking through a windy park,
Or take a drive along the beach.
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me.

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and
I'd really love to see you tonight.

I won't ask for promises,
So you won't have to lie.
We've both played that game before,
Say I love you, then say goodbye.

I'm not talking 'bout moving in,
And I don't want to change your life.
But there's a warm wind blowing,
The stars are out, and
I'd really love to see you tonight.

What's a woman by Vaya Con Dios

What's a woman when a man
Don't stand by her side?
What's a woman when a man
Has secrets to hide?

She'll be weak
She'll be strong
Struggle hard
For so long

What's a woman when a man
(What's a man without a woman?)
Don't go by the rule?
What's a woman when a man
(What's a man without a woman?)
Makes her feel like a fool?

When right
Turns to wrong
She will try
To hold on to the ghosts of the past
When love was to last
Dreams from the past
Faded so fast

All alone
In the daek
She will swear
He'll never mislead her again

All those dreams from the oast
Faded so fast
Ghosts of the past
When love was to last

All alone
In the dark She will swear cross her heart
Never again

Cross my heart
Never again

Clean
by Rorschach Test

Clean -
To walk the earth unblemished,
To stand before GOD and wear white.
Dreams -
Unreachable and bitter.
The fantasies of normal life
I once embraced
Dissolve and seem so far away.

Don't touch me I'm unclean

Bleed -
And wash me in your fountain.
The leopard never licks awy his spots.
Scream -
For anyone who knows the way
To get back to a place that's sane.
It seems so out of focus
And so far away.

Don't touch me I'm unclean

I used to say the words each day
To keep the demons on the outside,
But now my mind is a four-lane freeway
And it's rush hour all the time.
Morning comes like my worst enemy,
Unannounced and dressed to kill.
Sunshine holds me down upon the ground
And strips me of my will.

Birdsong becomes a nightmare orchestra,
Announcing all my sins.
Freight trains and submarines
Push through my brains
And blood until it thins.

Don't touch me I'm unclean

But it all seems worth it
When I'm underneath the fog
And lights and appetites
Of everyone that's just like me,
Unable to be clean.

I liked the dark lyrics Tsel posted. And I agree with what he said.

Lament
by Rorschach Test

Fearless dreamer thrown out.
Falling faster, cast down.
Feet like hooves, transforming.
Halo turns into a black crown.

When you're upside down,
All the world is spinning
round and round.

Voice like thunder echoes,
"My son how have you fallen!"
Why can't I fly
Through the sky
Far above all thrones and power.
The very first Jonathon seagull,
American eagle,
The father of pride.

I just want to believe in myself
And nobody else.

Lost in space,
Thoughts rejected,
Scorned and blackened.
Show the world my open shame,
And change my name: Devil.

1234567
All good children go to heaven.
12345678
All bad children have to wait.
Heaven can wait.

Bush - Glycerine

Must be your skin that I’m sinking in
Must be for real 'cause now I can feel
And I didn’t mind
It’s not my kind
Not my time to wonder why
Everything’s gone white
And everything’s grey
Now you’re here now you’re away
I don’t want this
Remember that
I’ll never forget where you’re at
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine

I’m never alone
I’m alone all the time
Are you at one
Or do you lie
We live in a wheel
Where everyone steals
But when we rise it’s like strawberry fields

I treated you bad
You bruise my face
Couldn’t love you more
You got a beautiful taste
Don’t let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn’t change though I wanted to
Could have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine
Don’t let the days go by
Glycerine

I needed you more
When we wanted us less
I could not kiss just regress
It might just be
Clear simple and plain
That’s just fine
That’s just one of my names
Don’t let the days go by
Could’ve been easier on you
Glycerine

Perfect Sin ~ Astralon

When you look my eyes tell me what you see?
Our guiltiness, my tolerance, your disillusive war?
You're gonna fade
Believeing in your perfect sin
Sun will melt your brand new wings
Together with your skin
Dying the two of us
Within a dream
I never thought would be so real
A million toughts that I could never describe
into this world divine.
When you are creeping dead tell me what you feel?
My concecration, our resurrection, the doubtfulness of joy?
You are still fading
Collapsing in your perfect sin
Sun will melt your brand new wings
Together with your penetrated skin
Dying the two of us
Within a dream
I never thought would be so real
A million thoughts that I could never describe
into this world divine

Train ~ The Sisters of Mercy

take a last decision and the cars to move it
past information
tunnel vision and the scars to prove it
everybody got a reservation

far beyond the black horizon
beyond the things you know
everybody got a destination
everybody got a place to go

take a walk downtown to where the victims go
take your shadow to the end to the very last window

everybody got friends got shot upside and over down the line
everybody got assignations
I got mine

take a one way ticket to the main attraction
cut a hole between the ground and sky
take a railway track to a chain reaction
cross my heart and take a ride

far beyond the black horizon
beyond the things you know
everybody got a destination
everybody got a place to go

Passion Of Lovers ~ Bauhaus

She had nut painted arms
That were hers to keep
And in her fear
She sought cracked pleasures
The passion of lovers is for death said she
Licked her lips
And turned to feather

And as I watched from underneath
I came aware of all that she keep
The little foxes so safe and sound
They were not dead
They'd gone to ground

The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death
The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death

She breaks her hear
Just a little too much
And her jokes attract the lucky bad type
As she dips and wails
And slips her banshee smile
She gets the better of the bigger to the letter

The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death
The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death
The passion of lovers is for death said she
The passion of lovers is for death
The passion of lovers is for death said she
