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

[scubagirl200]

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him where are you going
And this he told me
I'm going on down to Yasgur's farm
I'm going to join in a rock 'n' roll band
I'm going to camp out on the land
I'm going to try an' get my soul free

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel to be a cog in something turning
Well maybe it is just the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
I don't know who I am
But you know life is for learning

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere there was song and celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
And they were turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the garden

It has been about a year since my niece found out about her first pregnancy. She miscarried in January. She screamed a lot and cried for days afterward, and was really a mess
.
It has been 3 months since my brother's ex gf miscarried his first baby.

This song is dedicated to the babies they will never know.


Gary Numan - A Prayer For the Unborn

So i prayed...

But you weren't listening.

Making miracles?



So i begged...

But you were far away.

Saving souls perhaps?



So i screamed...

But she was very small

And you have worlds to mend.



So she died...

And you were glorious.

But you were somewhere else.


If you are my shepherd

Then i'm lost and no one can find me.

If you are my saviour

Then i'm dead and no one can help me.

If you are my glory

Then i'm sick and no one can cure me.

If you light my darkness

Then i'm blind and no one can see me.



If you are my father

Then love lies abandoned and bleeding.

If you are my comfort

Then nightmares are real and deceiving.

If you are my answer

Then i must have asked the wrong question.

I'd spit on your heaven

If i could find one to believe in.

 

[Belisarius]

The past couple of months have been very stressful; I rediscovered this gem (along with my general love the Mad Max franchise), and have found it resonating strongly with my current state:

Tina Turner, "One of the Living"

In the desert sun every step that you take could be the final one
In the burning heat hanging on the edge of destruction
You can't stop the pain of your children crying out in your head
They always said that the living would envy the dead

So now you're gonna shoot bullets of fire
Don't wanna fight but sometimes you've got to
You're some soul survivor
There's just one thing you've got to know
You've got ten more thousand miles to go

Because you're one of the living
And if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight

Walk tall, cool, collected and savage
Walk tall, bruised, sensual, ravaged
It's every man for himself, every woman, every child
A new breed, ferocious and wild

And all they want to do is shoot bullets of fire
They wanna fight and sometimes you've got to
You're some soul survivor
There's just one thing you've got to know
You've got ten more thousand years to go

Because you're one of the living
And if we can't stick together
One of the living
Who's gonna make it tonight

[spoken]
In the tradition of the inner city griots we are...
we take though a journey through a story
to a place and a time
in a small town
but as you listen you're to pay no mind to the small town
and the time and the place
a place where the moon and the sun does as it pleases
a place where everybody knows everybody else's business
a place that basically could be anywhere
listen...

check it out...

[Aceyalone]
When the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
The only light that was in sight was the one just past that ol' onion field
if you look from where I'm standing you'll see that old scarecrow
they say if you look too low he might jump off that window
but between you and me I think that's a bunch of 'hey, you know'
some people believe he's responsible for the death of Old Man Dan
they found him without his thinking cap with straw in his hand
and the strangest thing about it's that they never found his head
they never found his head
they never found his head
god dammit they never found Old Man Dan's head...

[Self Jupiter]
and they'll never find it
'cause I took it
nah, didn't go like that at all
see I just hid it and his eye was crooked and I wanted his eyeball
and things got out of hand
and Old Man Dan had to die
because of that eye
I can tell you them scarecrow stories a lie
what I did here
when the moon was full and the sun's about to rise
people walking by thinking about that head at the crack of dawn they cry

[Acey & Jupiter]
and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town the moon got a frown 'cause he can see it all from
the top
and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town the sun be clown'
and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town Th. stars come to work all drunk
and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town the moon got a frown 'cause he can see it all from
the top

[Acey]
in the small town of 1500, hundred houses on every corner
lived the oldest lady in the world, a loner
Ms. Desmona
Loraine Cortez
from Barcelona, Spain, said
she came to reclaim her family's name and put her soul to rest, yes
on sacred ground
her family owned this town
and the people in it, too
but I was just passing through
she said 'people around here believe in voodoo,
witchcraft, taboo'
it was kinda hard for me to take this all for true
but she did say that when a stranger comes to town this is what they'll do
first they'll stone you
and when you come to
then they'll own you
there's no one to run to
and the sun takes a day off and the moon stood still

[P.E.A.C.E.]
well, this is what I heard
the sun blew a fuse and the moon had stood in lieu
the morning came with rain and with the wetness
then the evening sang
the birds ???
and stayed thought the noon
a piano plays a tune in which a woman's voice softly croons
adamantly
she yells uncharacteristically 'dance with me you fool'
well not only was I introduced
but apparently being seduced
but by who?
the namesake
let's just call the mysterious lady in maroon
??? Cancun
??? things in my ??
and make the flesh of a grown man's hand move
suspenseful hypnotic
neither erotic nor exotic
but psychotic, in a sense
for instance, she made reference to actually raising the dead
in a sentence she once said with dread

and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town the moon be locked in his room doin' 'shrooms
and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town the moon be in a hot air balloon to the moon
and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town the moon just be faded ???
and the sun took a day off and the moon stood still
around my part of town the moon got a frown 'cause he can see it all from
the top
and sometimes he'll stop
and look out with a star gaze
sometimes he'll cover his face and he wont be seen for days
the sun had took a day off and the moon stood still
the sun had took a day off and the moon stood still
for real

[talking]
Woman: 'Hey Baby, come here, look at the sun, I mean, look at the moon, I
ain't never seen them out at the same time. Baby, tha-that's pretty'
Man: 'Oh girl, come on in here, you don't want look at the sky line out
there, come on, come on it's been dark for a whole day, come on, the sun
ain't gonna come out, come on in here, you're lettin' all the heat out...

Freestyle Fellowship - When The Sun Took A Day Off And The Moon Stood Still
an annotation from the Egyptian Book of the Dead ??
sounds like it, and after listening to this CD - Beneath the Surface - for a number of years, it is a bit of a shock to read the EBoD for the first time, and notice the actual roots of a number of my favorite songs, stories, films etc.

is very cool.

... 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!

Salutation Of The Dawn

Listen to the exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day! For it is Life, The very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the Varieties And Realities of your Existence;
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived
Makes every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every To-morrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn.

"The sun will shine on my back door someday, March winds will blow my troubles away."-The Grateful Dead

Life gave me lemons for up until a week for about 2 months time. A lot of shit hit the fan in my life but I love the song "I Know You Rider," cause those lyrics are meaningful and inspiring to me. They make me want to keep going and I can honestly say, I feel a lot better. I moved to a new town due to getting busted a couple months ago and have had nobody to talk to, no friends, nothing and felt very depressed and lonely. I met a group of amazing, wonderful people and it has completely changed my outlook but I never forget that song because before I had these supportive buddies, one of the few things I had was that song.

I The Grateful Dead.

[ocean]

Gotye- Eyes Wide Open:
So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us
And only a few ever worried

While the signs will clear
They have no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can't even picture your future

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
Yeah we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

Some people offered advice
We made out like we heard
They were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided

But it was like to stop consuming's to stop being human
And why'd I make a change if you won't?
We're all in the same boat
Staying afloat for the moment

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open we
(walk the plank with our eyes wide open we)

With our eyes wide open we
We walk the plank, we walk the plank

So that is the end of the story

 

[panic in paradise]

Dark star crashes
pouring its light
into ashes

Reason tatters
the forces tear loose
from the axis

Searchlight casting
for faults in the
clouds of delusion

shall we go,
you and I
While we can?
Through
the transitive nightfall
of diamonds

Mirror shatters
in formless reflections
of matter

Glass hand dissolving
to ice petal flowers
revolving

Lady in velvet
recedes
in the nights of goodbye

Shall we go,
you and I
While we can?
Through
the transitive nightfall
of diamonds

spinning a set the stars through which the tattered tales of axis roll about the waxen wind of never set to motion in the unbecoming round about the reason hardly matters nor the wise through which the stars were set in spin

[panic in paradise]

Let it be soon, don't hesitate
Make it now, don't wait
Open your heart & let my love come in
I want the moment to start when I can fill your heart with

More love, more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
My love will be so sound
It would take about 100 lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down

This is no fiction, this is no act
This is real, it's a fact
I'll always belong only to you
Each day I'll be living to make sure I'm giving you

More love, more joy
Than angel time could ever destroy
(awww huny now)
My love will be so sound
It would take about 100 lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down

As we grow older no need to fear
When you need me I'll be here
I'll be beside you every step of the way
A heart that's truthful & keeping you youthful with

More love, more joy
Than age or time could ever destroy
My love will be so sound
It would take about 100 lifetimes
To live it down, wear it down, tear it down


The Miracles / featuring Smokey Robinson - More Love

 

[aveoturbo]

This is a song I wrote about a person who I was very close to that I lost last April. This person inspired and taught me many things.

Journeys

As you lay still
I cant help but think of our journeys
sunrise to sunrise
our moments fused in time
you showed me the world (the world)
with pictures and words
I'll pass them on for you

*No adventure is the same
some leave souveneirs of pain
organizing the pieces you left are hurting me
it just makes me miss you more*

I want to see you smile again
(Roll up my emotions on my sleeve)
I want to hear your voice just one last time
(Nobody knows how much I want to scream)
you were robbed from me
(putting my head in a self prison)
one day we'll meet again
(let it feel like nobody can get in)

*No adventure is the same
some leave souveneirs of pain
organizing the pieces you left are hurting me
it just makes me miss you more*

pay with regret (pay with regret)
no one knows what has been taken from this world (x3)

*No adventure is the same
some leave souveneirs of pain
organizing the pieces you left are hurting me
it just makes me miss you more*

:Spoken:
I can still feel the fences at your grave :spoken:
(pay with regret) :sung:
as you lay with your loved one :spoken:
(no one knows) :sung:
silent, your spirit carries on :spoken:
(taken from this cruel world) :sung:
If I could take it back, I would have never left your side that morning :spoken:
(pay with regret) :sung:
You meant the world to me and I just want you back :spoken:
(no one knows) :sung:
for one day, one moment, just to feel whole again :spoken:
(no one knows how much I want to SCREAM!!) :sung:

*No adventure is the same
some leave souveneirs of pain
organizing the pieces you left are hurting me
it just makes me miss you more
it just makes me miss you more
it just makes me miss you more*

PigFace - AspHole
~

"a thin word
process mile union made
the snake defiled
blue book murder
the best you could
lessons spite heaven twisted
candid photos intermixed in
sitting backdoor mud realized
dirty corners of the mind
whistler's
father figure heads
sitting in eye and wasted
pick yourself up off the
floor
shaken angel taken home
clicking heels gold brick road
no place
like home it seems
now together shadow writhing
you world comes crashing down

rain - the gasping now
rain - the melting snow
rain - cold image
much larger than life
rain - comes crashing down
rain - go pour it on
rain - forever you're left with this curse

so was it mud cracked
corner smile
no living out the lie
motion vixen man so proud
seems so
innocent inside
seems quite a horror show
treated like a child who
knows
the mascot reveals the worst
tilted and hungry
suicide...suicide...suicide! suicide!
suicide! suicide! suicide! suicide!

children went hungry
children went hungry
suicide
living in a dream

rain - this is your song (star?)
rain - it lingers on
rain - your royalty consumed by a vice
rain - done acid sound
rain - believe it all
rain - together you're left with this curse

go through the doorway
world subjected
shrink away from those who see
needed wicked garden
grows
slither down the asphole
looking backward of the form
as
light-show of your own device
back of penny torture matters
talking
through a mere the says it all
finger asphole

love finger asphole
love finger the asphole
love finger

rain - the gasping now
rain - the melting snow
rain - cold image much larger than life
rain - comes crashing down
rain - go pour it on
rain - forever you're left with this curse
rain - this is your star
rain - it lingers on
rain - your royalty consumed by a vice
rain - done acid sound
rain - believe it all
rain - together you're left with this curse going at you
god
dear god
go pour it on
rain
left with
this curse"

The Scenic - Take Your Time lyrics

A voice trembles in the distance
Your words, they hurt my ears
As it resonates throughout the night skies
Such convincing repetitions
As it swallows us whole
So take your time

And high above my head
Resting in the sound

Will you sing me something that I can understand?
At least anything to ease the thought
So hold onto what you've got
Cause we gave it our best
We gave it our all

I can feel the worst is over
Comprehended by the eye
Like a storm, we slowly die
In the ever-passing moment
We are further brushed away
In doubt, we stay

And high above my head
Resting in the sound

Will you sing me something that I can understand?
At least anything to ease the thought
So hold onto what you've got
Cause we gave it our best
We gave it our all

Will you sing me something that I can understand?
At least anything to east the thought
So hold onto what you've got
Because we gave it our best
We gave it our all

We gave it our all

 

[Max Power]

a 340 dollar horse and a hundred dollar whore by Charles Bukoswki

don’t ever get the idea I am a poet; you can see me
at the racetrack any day half drunk
betting quarters, sidewheelers and straight thoroughs,
but let me tell you, there are some women there
who go where the money goes, and sometimes when you
look at these whores these onehundreddollar whores
you wonder sometimes if nature isn’t playing a joke
dealing out so much breast and ass and the way
it’s all hung together, you look and you look and
you look and you can’t believe it; there are ordinary women
and then there is something else that wants to make you
tear up paintings and break albums of Beethoven
across the back of the john; anyhow, the season
was dragging and the big boys were getting busted,
all the non-pros, the producers, the cameraman,
the pushers of Mary, the fur salesman, the owners
themselves, and Saint Louie was running this day:
a sidewheeler that broke when he got in close;
he ran with his head down and was mean and ugly
and 35 to 1, and I put a ten down on him.
the driver broke him wide
took him out by the fence where he’d be alone
even if he had to travel four times as far,
and that’s the way he went it
all the way by the outer fence
traveling two miles in one
and he won like he was mad as hell
and he wasn’t even tired,
and the biggest blonde of all
all ass and breast, hardly anything else
went to the payoff window with me.

that night I couldn’t destroy her
although the springs shot sparks
and they pounded on the walls.
later she sat there in her slip
drinking Old Grandad
and she said
what’s a guy like you doing
living in a dump like this?
and I said
I’m a poet

and she threw back her beautiful head and laughed.

you? you . . . a poet?

I guess you’re right, I said, I guess you’re right.

but still she looked good to me, she still looked good,
and all thanks to an ugly horse
who wrote this poem.

Blink 182 - I Miss You
This has apparently been the song of the week for me, I can't stop listening to it and it often gets stuck in my head.

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
