What did they do wrong in their private life? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

@ Übereill
Well Üb, some may think that what they did is not bad, but this is my opinion:
John Lennon cheated on his Yoko and Eric Clapton raped his wife several times during their marriage. People do stupid things while they are drunk or stoned and mostly they regrett it the day after. But that doesn't mean that they aren't great actors or wonderfull artists. I even read in the papers now that the guys of Abba visited sexclubs when they were younger. So what? Their music is still good. The list is endless with these things but if you only want to hear about an artist that had been good to the bone then you better return to the stone-age, because people make mistakes and artists are only human too.

@Jurak
Thanks for the "Cats in the Cradle", I love that song too.
I think it's been covered by Ugly Kid Joe (like you said) and Guns&Roses. But also by some guy named Jim Croce. It was just a very popular song <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Enter Sandman by Metallica

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white

Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now i lay you down to a sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If i die before i awake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

The Same Old Sun
by The Alan Parsons Project

Tell me what to do
Now the light in my life is gone from me
Is it always the same
Is the night never ending

Tell me what to do
All the hopes and the dreams went wrong for me
There's a smile on my face
But I'm only pretending

Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you

The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night alone

And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my own

Tell me what to do
Now there's nobody watching over me
If I seem to be calm
Well it's all an illusion
Tell me what to do
When the fear of the night comes over me
There's a smile on my face
Just to hide the confusion

Taking my life
One day at a time
Cause I can't think what else to do
Taking some time
To make up my mind
When there's no one to ask but you

The same old sun would shine in the morning
The same bright eyes would welcome me home
And the moon would rise way over my head
And get through the night alone

And the same old sun will shine in the morning
The same bright stars will welcome me home
And the clouds will rise way over my head
I'll get through the night on my own

Gal, I didn't know they did anything at all...

Übereil

@Barta
You ever wonder why he tried that? There are always two sides to a story. Sometimes even more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

@Gal
Maybe he should start with healing himself. And then the world. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@Jurak
Cat's in the cradle and David Bowie.
You go, big bro! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I was about to post something by David Bowie too. Crossed my mind only yesterday. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So instead - I know you like'm too - one of my all time favourites by Iron Maiden.

------------------------------------------------------------

Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy name

I’m waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn’t have much time
Cos at 5 o’clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there’s some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I’m dreaming
It’s not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don’t believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell “God be with you”
If there’s a God then why has he let me die?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I’m not sorry
Catch my soul cos it’s willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don’t worry now that I have gone
I’ve gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you’ll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.

------------------------------------------------------------
But it's a typical song you should hear. When you just read the words they don't make the impression the song does.
Like Deep Purple's Child in Time or Led Zeppelin's Stairway to heaven.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

O
and Gal...

Don't believe everything you read in the girlie magazines.

Ramones - Rock ‘n’ Roll High School

Well I don’t care about History
Rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school
‘Cause that’s not where I wanna be
Rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school
I just wanna have some kicks
I just wanna get some chicks
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school

Well the girls out there knock me out, you know
Rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school
Cruisin’ around in my GTO
Rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school
I hate the teachers and the principal
Don’t wanna be taught to be no fool
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock’n’roll high school

Fun fun rock’n’roll high school
Fun fun rock’n’roll high school
Fun fun rock’n’roll high school
Fun fun, oh baby

Violence against women is unacceptable.
No women in the world deserves to be mistreated by her husband or her boyfriend.

Barta

Narrow minded view. Sometimes it's the woman who's the cause of problems.
But ok... when I meet John Denver in hell I'll tell him to get the job done by a stranger next time.

And when you will meet Bertrand Cantat, the lead singer of a french rock band called "Noir Désir", please ask him why his girlfriend Marie Trintignant deserved to be killed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/XmasJump.gif" alt="" />
For the moment he is in jail, but maybe later ...

Barta

I remember that too.
Did you know him? Did you know her?
I'm the first to say humans are a wierd kind of lifeform. But what drove him to do this? Something building up inside? Don't ask me. Ask him.
It didn't happen in France btw.

I guess some of you know what I mean with this one:

Take me as I am by Bob Dylan

Why must you always try to make me over ?
Take me as I am or let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
Take me as I am or let me go.

You're trying to reshape me in a moment
In the image of someone you used to know
I won't be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go.

You've tried to change me ever since you've met me
Take me as I am or let me go.
If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me
Take me as I am or let me go.

You're trying to reshape me in a mould love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure Bob Dylan wrote that one either, Gal. That's one of my father's favorites by the way...

Till I hear it from you by Gin Blossoms

I didn't ask
They shouldn't have told me
At first i'd laugh, but now
It's sinking in fast
Whatever they've sold me
Well baby i don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until i hear it from you
It gets hard
The memory's faded
Who gets what they say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Well maybe i don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until i hear it from you
Until i hear it from you
I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as i know, nothing's wrong
Until i hear it from you
Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in
Til we're talking about it, not stepping around it
Maybe i don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until i hear it from you...

Collective Soul - Run

Are these times contagious
I’ve never been this bored before
Is this the prize I’ve waited for
Now with the hours passing
There’s nothing left here to insure
I long to find a messenger

Have I got a long way to run
Have I got a long way to run
Yeah, I run

Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity
I weaken with each voice that sings
Now, in this world of purchase
I’m going to buy back memories
To awaken some old qualities

Have I got a long way to run
Have I got a long way to run
Yeah, I run
Yeah, I run

Have I got a long way
Have I got a long way
Have I got a long way to run
Have I got a long way to run

Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)
Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)
Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)
Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)

There's been a lot of talk about this next song.
Maybe... maybe... to much talk.
This song is not a rebel song. This song is:

Sunday bloody Sunday

I can’t believe the news today
I can’t close my eyes and make it go away
How long? how long must we sing this song?
How long? how long?
Tonight we can be as one - tonight

Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across a dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

How long? how long must we sing this song?
How long? how long?
Tonight we can be as one - tonight
[Tonight] Sunday, bloody Sunday
[Tonight] Sunday, bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
[Wipe your tears away] Sunday, bloody Sunday
[Wipe your tears away] Sunday, bloody Sunday

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle yet begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday


by U2 ofcourse.
And what I wrote before the lyrics is what Bono said on a concert "under a blood red sky"

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />@ Jurak! I love you for posting D. Bowie <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />

and... as always I agree with Barta.

@ Tsel I have send you a pm. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Shadowsphere I ~ Sopor Aeternus

This is a sad day here in the world of shades
but even pain has its own beauty
even pain can perform a lovely face.
Blinding stream, double-edged,
in an extra-terrestrial gloom,
beautiful creation of steel
grown in my barren womb...
They way into the light will separate me from my flesh,
myriads in their birth-giving red
swimming forcefully through-out space.
This darkest space is wide
and the mountain is still so high,
fly up my black little eyes
and cross the frontiers that dare to define my life...
No space too vast and surely no place too far,
the groping sister feels that her eyes
must be somewhere alive.
So she is afraid of all the dwellers of the dark
in their blindness they will never understand
the tempting gift of sight.
This place is cold, blindly she can feel
the dead wind caressing the rocks
from high above they come way down,
these angels kissing our undead bodies to stone...

Wild Cherry - Play that funky music

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin’ in a Rock ‘n Roll band
I never had no problems
Runnin’ down the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin’ so low
And I decided quickly
To disco down and check out the show
Yea they were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ‘til you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fightin’
Well, losin’ every step of the way
I said I must go back there
And check to see if things still the same
Yea they were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ‘til you die

(Lead)

Now first it wasn’t easy
Changin’ rock ‘n roll at Myze
And things were gettin’ shaky
I thought I’d have to leave it behind
But now it’s so much better
I’m funking out in every way
But I’ll never lose that feeling
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were singin’ and dancin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ‘til you die

Live - The dolphin's cry

The way you’re bathed in light
Reminds me of that night
God laid me down into your rose garden of trust
And I was swept away
With nothin’ left to say
Some helpless fool
Yeah I was lost in a swoon of peace
You’re all I need to find
So when the time is right
Come to me sweetly, come to me
Come to me

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us

Oh yeah, we meet again
It’s like we never left
Time in between was just a dream
Did we leave this place?
This crazy fog surrounds me
You wrap your legs around me
All I can do to try and breathe
Let me breathe so that I,
So we can go together!

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us

Life is like a shooting star
It don’t matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it’s just a waste of time
We are lost ’til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over

Over
Over
Singin’ la da da, da da da
Over
Come to me
Singin’ la da da da, da da da
Come to me

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us

Life is like a shooting star
It don’t matter who you are
If you only run for cover, it’s just a waste of time
We are lost ’til we are found
This phoenix rises up from the ground
And all these wars are over

Love will lead us, alright
Love will lead us, she will lead us
Can you hear the dolphin’s cry?
See the road rise up to meet us
It’s in the air we breathe tonight
Love will lead us, she will lead us
