Lyrics Lyrics that appeal to you today... 2006-2023

^ LOL Skinny Puppy are too Raw even for me [at least nowadays]


I don't exactly AGREE wit the last line but this song is my song today :D
FISHBONE: SUNLESS SATURDAY
----
I see the pestilence outside my window
I see the dung heaps piled at least a mile high
I see the shards of shattered dreams in the street
I face the morning with my customary sigh

I hear the sounds of children laughing aloud
A stumbling wino has attracted quite a crowd
My breakfast finished now I brave the outside
But clouds have hidden all the warmth inside

Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday

Freedom come
For us now
Light our sky
Burn away these clouds

Perhaps the charcoal grey and brown around me
Is just the mirror image of tainted soul
I think the sun will never visit my sky
Until the truth is seen by each and every eye

I see the helpless and I see the insane
I see a pauper singing in the pouring rain
I see the means of help elude us again
I think the sun will never visit me again
 
^haha-;-) fishBone?!? awesome, i havent seen them mentioned in a looong while.

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

" the moon glows at night
the demons are in flight -
this is the end of being lost
~~~
the little boy a living ghost
the little boy a light head -
in a world gentle pain
~~~
existence is pure -
before now and after
a special light shines through -
and warns of disaster "

Genesis P-Orridge - blackMoon
 
lol I have every Download album. you're the only one on BL besides silentscience who's ever mentioned them. one of my favourite canadian bands [i am canadian. but not proudly... :))

you are cool if you like Download :D
and God if you like them AND Fishbone. ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhD_QQ1hCkg

another one of F-bone's best songs.
 
ill speak freely and say Ebola? a DL fan aswell i believe, my favorite of cevin Keys side projects is probably Involution, that was a one shot heh album thought, download is megalithic!!!

the cd is a rare one, and im surprised i found these two samples on u-Tube... as they normally get pulled with in a couple of days.

cevin Key, seems to let the Plateau and DL stuff stay up, 'Music for Cats' you can find tracks of but not all.


okay, excuse the OT shit,, good stuff though;-D
 
you mean Furnace, the first DL album? you sure its rare? I got it for less than 10 bucks at a used CD store in Halifax!

Beehatch is my favourite song from it too. trip-hoppy
 
Arthur Lee: Everybody's Gotta Live

ARTHUR LEE <--- just about as underrated as Fishbone [and both are black, what a koink!!]
EVERYBODY'S GOTTA LIVE

Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
I think you know the reason why
Sometime the goin' gets so good
But then again it gets pretty rough
But when I have you in my arms baby
You know I just can’t, I just can’t get enough
Oh yeah

Everybody’s gotta live, yes they do
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody try to have a, a good time
I think you know the reason why

I saw a blind man standing on the corner yesterday baby
He couldn’t hardly tie his shoes
But he had a harmonica and a guitar strapped around his neck
And he sure could, he sure could play the blues
Oh yeah

Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody try to have a, a good time
I think you know the reason why

I feel like I’ve seen just about a, million sunsets
She said if you’re with me I’ll never go away
That’s when I stopped and I took another look at my baby
She said if you’re with me I’ll never go away
Because

Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
Before you know the reason why

I had a dream the other night, baby
I dreamt that I was alone
But when I woke up I took a look around myself
And I was surrounded by fifty million strong
Oh yeah
Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
Before you know the reason why
Yeah

Everybody’s gotta live
And everybody’s gonna die
Everybody’s gotta live
You gotta live, before you, know the reason why

All of my life I've tried to like the man in the pictures with outstretched hands
Wearing purple around his neck and he's saying words that I cannot forget.

Won't you tell me just who you judge and ruler over me?
Little girl, can you tell just who made you
so very god damned holy?

Cause I tried to be the best I could
And I did the best my frail mind could
I'd trade it all just for one touch
I'd give it all to be enough
To make things new

Cause one in a million is all the same
I've taken apsirin for my pain
Empty bottle just seem to say
I cannot make this go away

Hey you, tell me just who you judge and ruler over me?
Little girl, can you tell just who made you
so very god damned holy?


Cause I tried to be the best I could
And I did the best my frail mind could
I'd trade it all just for one touch
I'd give it all to be enough
To make things new
To make things new inside so I could be like..

I'd trade it all just for one touch
I'd give it all to be it

And I did the best a boy could do
And I did the best my frail could
I'd trade it all just for one touch
I'd give it all to be enough
To make things new inside
To make things new
So I could be like you
I tried so hard to make things
New
 
That there, that's not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here....

How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead
 
My favorite song lyrically.

Richard Ashcroft - Science of Silence

We are on a rock, spinning silently
But I'm safe when you're here with me
These questions I'm asking, they've been haunting me
I need some security, can't you see?
Her love was like a fountain rushing and pouring down
The darkness is putting out the light in me
She's a well to be dug, she's a university
A cosmic library - wait and see

We are on a rock, spinning silently
Won't you get close to me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Won't you get close to me

Is it my genes that have made me?
Is it the things I took, is it the things I said
Does karma rule?
Well if there's a God well can you hear me now?
I am crying out, hoping you know
And in my baby's arms I need no faith
I need no words to define myself
And when I'm holding you, light rushing through
I wanna make it now, safe and straight

We are on a rock, spinning silently
Baby get a hold of me
We are on a rock, spinning in infinity
Baby consoling me

Oh I don't know when the fear's going to end
I don't know if my prayers are received - the ones I send
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
I can't live in pain and fear
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I see so much joy and it makes me scared
(We are on a rock, spinning silently)
Oh I don't know if my prayers are received, until the end
(We are on a rock, spinning in infinity)
Oh I guess it ain't offet for you to pray for peace
Oh baby I don't know where I'm going
All I know is that I need you as a friend
 
Devin Townsend: Earth Day

Eat your beets, recycle...recycle...
Don't eat your beets, recycle...recycle

The message is; 'THERE IS NO MESSAGE'

Babe, God, you better not ever think,
Staring into the drink... get out of my mind...
'cause I may not be the one to say,
is there no other way we could do this another day?

I saw God.

She said...'If you don't believe me, guarantee you'll never leave me'
On my way, and out of your time
'cause I didn't even know if it was true or just a result of chemicals

Shut up and think of something more important to say...
'Sometimes I think that in every straight there's a gay!' Something or nothing a whole either way it's a way,
it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way
EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY
it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way
EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY, EARTH DAY

It's like your birthday, it's on Earth Day,
Like a child you're born again, little child you're bored again...
It's your worst fucking day, it's on Earth Day...
Little lies to cover up...please make your mind up

(Eat your beets, Recycle...recycle...)
(...Don't eat your beets, recycle...recycle)

Man Overboard (I'm so far away)
Man overboard (I'm so far...)
But fuck it! ...I really don't care
Fuck! Listen to me! Just shut the fuck up!

Peace, Love, Joy
Man overboard (I'm so far...)
Hate, hell, war
Hate, love, love, hate, love, hate...destruction!

So just shut your face and take a seat
Because after all, you're just talking meat...and music?
Well, it's just entertainment folks.

Sometimes I think that I really have something moreto say...
'Sometimes I think that in every straight there's a gay!' ...forgive me for saying it blows either way, it's a way,
it's a way, it's a way, it's a way, it's a way...

It's your birthday, it's on Earth Day,
Like a child you're born again, little child you're cold again...
It's your worst fucking day, it's on Earth Day
Little child your time is up...please turn the heat up

You need your beets, you recycle...
...Don't eat your beets...recycle...

Man overboard...I'm so far away...
 
______ to the seed we scatter,
Where it falls upon the meadow,
By the grace of Thee mighty,
Through the open finger spaces
Of the hand that all things fashioned.
Queen of meadow-land and pasture!
Bid the earth unlock her treasures.
Bid the soil the young seed nourish,
Never shall their teeming forces
Never shall their strength prolific
Fail to nourish and sustain us
If the Daughters of Creation,
They, the free and bounteous givers
Still extend their, gracious favor
Offer still their strong protection.
Rise, O Earth! from out thy slumbers
Bid the soil unlock her treasures!

LOOOOONG LIIIIIVE THEE SPIRIIIIT

yes indeed it is Simon and Garfunkel *

"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence"

live version
crazy guys...

I had listened to these lyrics for years, and only just recently after an internal-breakthrough within myself, have i been able to resonate with them on a much deeper, personal level.

"Type O Negative - Gravitational Constant"

I’ve got a problem
A problem with hate
I can’t go on dragging this weight
A cold steel hand that won’t let go
Acid-filled thoughts out of control

I built myself a nice little cage
With bars of anger and a lock of rage
I can’t help asking who’s got the key?
When I know damned well it’s me

" straight lights that cut through the scene like you wanted to
(blue jeans)

soft larks that spend all of summer buying drinks for you
(blue jeans)

left hand that crashed through your house in the ice and snow
(blue jeans)

a face outside sleeping pressed against the bay window
(blue jeans)

you've been trying to protect me
an insect living in your memory
don't blue jeans won't cut at the seams like you want them to.

you won't need me to show the way now they're onto you
(blue jeans)

and I won't be phoning you today unless you want me to
(blue jeans)

you've been trying to protect me
an insect living in your memory
don't blue jeans won't cut at the seams like you want them to"

"Been Caught Stealing"

I've been caught stealing;
once when I was 5...
I enjoy stealing.
It's just as simple as that.
Well, it's just a simple fact.
When I want something,
I don't want to pay for it.

I walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

My girl, she's one too.
She'll go and get her a skirt.
Stick it under her shirt.
She grabbed a razor for me.
And she did it just like that.
When she wants something,
She don't want to pay for it.

She walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine.
Mine all mine!

We sat around the pile.
We sat and laughed.
We sat and laughed and
Waved it into the air!
And we did it just like that.
When we want something,
We don't want to pay for it.

We walk right through the door.
Walk right through the door.
Hey, all right! If I get by, it's mine,
Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine...
 
I guess your state of mind
Is not yours to design
And all you need is time
To find your space in false light

Marco V - False Light
 
a new day , a new dream
waking up but still sleeping
all the time remembering
pictures of your thousand dreams

again and again and again
again again the same

is it too exhausting
to be in wondering ?
don't you know it will repeat
until you find the meaning ?

again and again and again
again again the same
again and again and again
again again the same
again and again and again
again again the same

another chance , take a break
face to face , big escape
rewind and sublime
a thousand dreams to reach the one

again and again and again
again again the same
again and again and again
again again the same
again and again and again
again again the same

a new day , a new dream
waking up but still sleeping
all the time remembering
pictures of your thousand dreams

again - again - dream

Shinedown - What A Shame

Two packs of cigarettes a day
The strongest whiskey
Kentucky can make
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
On his hands and knees
I watched it all up close,
I knew him more than most
I saw a side of him he never showed
Full of sympathy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be

That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?

[Chorus]
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame

There's a hard life for every silver spoon
There's a touch of grey for every shade
Of blue
That's the way that I see life
If there was nothing wrong,
Then there'd be nothing right
And for this working man they say could
Barely stand
There's gotta be a better place to land
Some kind of remedy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be
That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?

[Chorus]
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame

God forgive the hands that laid you down
They never knew how, but your broken
Heart can break the sound
And change the season
Now the leaves are falling faster,
Happily ever after
You gave me hope through your endeavors
And now you will live forever
