Remember in the beginning of "The Empire Strikes B
Continuation of this thread.
The new Blackalicious album owns me.
Blackalicious - Make you feel that way
Up an early for the hope of a brand new day
See a homie you ain't seen since back in the day
Fresh haircut fitted wit a fat ass fade
End of work, we chilling on a Saturday
How you felt when you first heard the data came
Rakim KRS hey I had that tape
Cooling out with ol girl on a fat ass date
Find a hundred dollar bill wow man that's great
Get promoted at your job up to management
Plot a long time finally a plan has made it
Time I feel I wanna shout, man its real that way
Wanna think of things that make you feel that way
Make you feel that way (x 15)
Christmas day when your mamma got your first bike
Type of feeling when you went and when your first fight
How your team felt winning championship games
Celebrate in a huddle dancing in this rain
Have a thought see a shooting star cross your screen
Put in hard work finally your living your dream
Deaf man get his hearing now in come vibes
Blind man get sight see his first sunrise
Dumb man speaking out, now he's load and clear
Earth through your chout smile so proud ya wear
Going in your third eye for the styles ya hear
Making music that'll bump for a thousand years
Eating right feeling conscience like health is first
Make you feel that way (x 15)
 
IN FLAMES - "Clayman"
Your Self Control
Makes me feel, alone
I've tried confidence
Had it for breakfast today
I've lost the perfection
A mess without words
The image I project
Me, without me
The picture that I scanned I barrowed
After the education
You stopped making sense to me
Seems to me, that its all the same
Time and time and time and time again
Slowly, all I believed in
Turning into a lie
To aim and miss
My supernatural art
Spending too much time, with myself
Trying to explain, who I am
How come its possible?
I wish there was a way, a way
I feel so invisible
I am the sculpture made of clay...
I need someone to break the silence
Before it all falls apart
I need something to cling onto
Before I break you in parts
So afraid, of what you may think
And all the plastic people that surround me
I have to find the path to where it all begins
To teach the world my supernatrual art
Spending too much time, with myself
Trying to explain, who I am
How come its possible?
I wish there was a way...
Suddenly I feel invisible
I'm the sculpture made of clay
 
the owls-everyone is my friend
i know what i have to do and do it.
i know what i have to do and do it.
but don't know what it is until its done.
i know it must be rough,
you're so much smarter than your friends.
come clean in jokes.
integrity and tennis shoes.
waiting thinking
only how'd i like to be caught waiting. territory mutinies horizon.
disease teaches immunity.
a promise implied can't be broken.
and even now in the sunlight with grapefruit juice and coffee bound
and bountied to winter
without end would you two like each other
or are you too alike?
i know what i have to do and do it.
i know what i have to do and do it.
but don't know what it is until its done.
i've been inventing you
and i continue inventing you.
may we all make it home safely.
i know if must be rough,
you're so much smarter than your friends. rehearsing disasters
and forecasting all your needs.
i danced early
then got shy and had to go home early.
the mirage will fade as it unfolded.
the plot's defamed its own voltage.
a promise at the time can't be beat.
and even now as the snow's opening
it's whole in pieces
and wets each grieving hold of last year's trash
it's not impossible to think of you
thinking of me.
may we all make it home safely.
red house painters-drop
so much that i can't say to you
my voice shakes from the hurt that i hide
ashamed of my existence
and of my petty often wounded pride
i'd like to come home to see you
and to catch your sickness by the bedside
but then you'd know how much i really need you
all the love in an instant
makes my life stop
but then my hate for you
makes my feelings altogether drop
if only i were blind to your selfish fling
and your desperate cause
and didn't press you for the details
that threaten my physical flaws
i'd like to come home to see you
and embrace your illness under soft light
but then you'd know how much i really need you
all the love in an instant
makes my life stop
but then my hate for you
makes my feelings altogether drop
so much that i can say to you
with affection that i burn inside
you're aching from the distance
avoiding strain that's running still alive
if only i could heal you in the sprinkling of the ocean side
but then you'd know how much i really love you
all the love in an instant
makes my life stop
but then my hate for you
makes my feelings altogether drop
^^^not even gonna try to bold the relevant parts, coz it would be all of it^^^
 
Everyone knows the lyrics to "That what friends are for" so i am not gonna bother posting them :) Well...maybe i am just THAT lazy ;)
reading this forum today made me really just think of that song...
love
ange
 
Aw hell, Ange, you talked me into it! :D
I think of this song a lot too, especially when I come here or call a friend and get support that I didn't even know I needed at the time! I'll sing this with you today! :D :D
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well you came in loving me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember
 
Epiphany
-Staind
Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear
'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the thing's I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause i don't take anymore
or this, I want to come apart.
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious heart
'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
though I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed
'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
 
^^
damn.
Why does my heart feel so bad? - Moby
Why does my heart
Feel so bad?
Why does my soul
Feel so bad?
These open doors
Breaking the girl - Red Hot Chili Peppers
I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home
I don't know what when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else
 
I love this thread, Furnace... thanks for posting a new version :)
The following lyrics are from a small, local band from Clearwater, FL. Earl and Arch are friends of a friend, and I was lucky enough to be able to see them play many many times when I lived in Florida. I have had thier CD, "Words and Music" for two years and I still can't beleive they haven't made it big yet. Thier music really is incredible, IMO... and lately I've found myself listening to it over and over...
***************************************
black cloud
Earl and Arch
black cloud is over me
i feel like i can't breathe
i can't believe the things i see myself do
to you and me
didn't mean to take you for granted baby
don't know what to do when i know i'm wrong
stubborn pride is gonna kill us someday
my pride don't care but who's gonna tell my heart
and the moments right tell me baby
why do we fight
when i know you are the one
with all my might, i love you baby
why do we fight
when i know you are the one
i'm reachable, teachable
i need some time to learn you
if you leave...
who's gonna tell my heart
not me
black cloud is over me
so thick i can't see
i've never been this far alone before
please talk to me
i'm sorry girl, i don't know how to apologize
i need some help,
help me baby
don't go away
who's gonna tell my heart
 
pantera-suicide note part 1
Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take the pain away
Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot see inside yours and mine
When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me
breathe, for our handle on this life, I don't believe this time
Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I'm a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Try to die again.....
Forever fooling, free and using,
sliding down the slide that breaks a will
Mothers angel, getting smarter,
how smart are you to regress unfulfilled?
It's a damn shame, but who's to blame?
 
Echo and the bunnymen - The killing moon
Under blue moon I saw you
so soon you'll take me
up in your arms
too late to beg you
or cancel it though
I know it must be the
killing time
unwillingly mine
Fate up against your will
through the thick and thin
he will wait until
you give yourself to him
In starlit nights I saw you
so cruelly you kissed me
your lips a magic world
your sky all hung with jewels
the killing moon
will come too soon
Fate up against your will
through the thick and thin
he will wait until
you give yourself to him
and a favorite by Canadian Mike Myers:
Woman.
Woe-man.
Whoooa-man.
She was a thief,
you got to believe,
she stole my heart
and my cat.
Judy,
Betty,
Josie and those hot Pussycats
they made me horny,
on Saturday morning
girls of cartoo-ins
will leave me in ruins
I want to be Betty's Barney.
Jane...
get me off this crazy thing...
called love...
 
Faithless - Flowerstand Man
Bout a month ago, I'd never seen your face
I'd never heard your voice
Bout a month ago
I'm a careful hunter and I had to search
Before I found your love
Bout a month ago
For you my boy are the flowerstand man
You brought such colour to this place
For you my boy are the flowerstand man
With you I'm laid bare
 
-Empty Spaces
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces,
Where we used to talk?
How shall I fill the final places?
How shall I complete the wall?
I am just a new boy,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooo I need a dirty woman.
Ooooo I need a dirty girl.
Will some woman in this desert land,
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee.
Ooo Babe, set me free.
Ooooo I need a dirty woman.
Ooooo I need a dirty girl.
Ooooo I need a dirty woman.
Ooooo I need a dirty girl.
-Young Lust
Pink Floyd
 
And yes, this is for you.
And I'm sorry we fought, again, but I think maybe it was for the last time. I don't have the energy to keep doing this, waiting for the inevitable argument and then retreating to my shell, protecting my heart, sorry for what I said in the heat of the moment, and stinging from your comments.

With Friends Like You
sometimes I wake up with a smile
it’s been forever since I have had a turn
it’s always you or someone else, and I won’t fake it anymore
I’ll spend the next three hours driving in my car
to think of ways to say I’m happy when you’re gone
to say I’m better off alone
on the drive back home I listened to you talk but didn’t care
I knew exactly what you’d say before you said a thing
The time we spend together always ends up the same way
and if this is how I feel then I’ll just say it like I mean
I’m sorry that I came
It’s over today and nothing that you say now will make this worth saving
how long did you think I’d stay
It hurts me to see you this way
I’m sorry I came here to say that it’s over
always trying to wage a war
don’t you smile anymore
talking ourselves dizzy gets us nowhere
we’ll see how we feel later on
and come back with our armor on
and see if saying nothing gets us somewhere
And when it’s all over and done
I’ll blame you every time I wonder why I’ll blame you
now that it’s all said and it’s done
I blame you
I don’t know just what it is
I fell asleep and woke up with
the peace of mind to tell you that it’s over
::sorry::
 
Stasis's post reminded me that Ive been planning on hunting down these lyrics for a while so I went and found them and here they are:
This is sort of a different version of "the empty spaces" that they made for the movie fo The Wall :)
What shall we do now- Pink Floyd
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.
This song has always sounded cool to me, and its one of my favorite bits of the movie :)

Nice one. That's one of my faves too... got cut from the actual album but made it into the movie. 'When The Tigers Broke Free 'is another favorite of mine that is in the movie but wasn't on the album. Then there's 'Hey You', which got cut from the movie but is still on the album. Gotta love Floyd.
-Hey You
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.
But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.
Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.
 
"Creep"
TLC
Yes it's me again
And I'm back
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
The 22nd of loneliness and we've
Been through so many thangs
I love my man with all honesty
But I know he's cheatin' on me
I look him in his eyes but all he
Tells me is lies to keep me near
I'll never leave him down though
I might mess around it's only
'Cause I need some affection oh
So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed 2 know
So I creep yeah
'Cause he doesn't know
What I do and no attention
Goes to show oh so I creep
The 23rd of loneliness
And we don't talk
Like we used 2 do
Now it seems pretty
Strange but I'm not
Buggin' 'cause I still feel
The same yeah yeah
I'll keep giving loving
Till the day he pushes me away
Never go astray
If he knew the
Things I did he couldn't
Handle it
And I choose 2 keep him
Protected oh
So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed 2 know
So I creep yeah
'Cause he doesn't know
What I do and no attention
Goes to show oh so I creep
I think about us baby all the time
But you know that I'm gonna need some attention
Yeah, yeah can you dig it
Love you forever baby soul & mind
And you gotta know if
You don't give it I'ma
Get mine
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed 2 know
So I creep yeah
'Cause he doesn't know
What I do and no attention
Goes to show oh so I creep
I creep around because I need attention
Don't mess around with my affection
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
 
(following the trend)
Pink Floyd-The Final Cut
through the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyes
i can barely define the shape of this moment in time
and far from flying high in clear blue skies
i'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where i hide
if you negotiate the minefield in the drive
and beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
dial the combination. open the priesthole
and if i'm in i'll tell you what's behind the wall
there's a kid who had a big hallucination
making love to girls in magazines
he wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
could anybody love him
or is it just a crazy dream
and if i show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight
and if i open my heart to you
and show you my weak side
what would you do
would you sell your story to rolling stone
would you take the children away
and leave me alone
and smile in reassurance
as you whisper down the phone
would you send me packing
or would you take me home
thought i oughta bare my naked feelings
thought i oughta tear the curtain down
i held the blade in trembling hands
prepared to make it but just then the phone rang
i never had the nerve to make the final cut
ani difranco-not angry anymore
growing up, it was just me and my mom against the world.
and all my sympathies were with her when i was a little girl
and i've seen both my parents play out the hands that they were dealt
as each year goes by, i know more about how my father must have felt.
i just want you to understand that i know what all the fighting
was for, and i just want you to understand that i'm not angry anymore.
no, i'm not angry anymore.
she taught me how to wage cold war with quiet charm
but i just want to walk through my life unarmed.
to accept, and just get by like my father learned to do,
but without all the acceptance of getting by that got my father through
i just want you to understand that i know what all the fighting was for
and i just want you to understand that i'm not angry anymore.
no, i'm not angry anymore.
night falls like people into love
we generate our own light to compensate
for the lack of light from above.
every time we fight a cold wind blows our way,
we can learn like the trees, how to bend,
how to sway and say
i, i think i understand
what all this fighting is for,
and i just want you to understand
i'm not angry anymore.
no, i'm not angry anymore.
 
Carnival by natalie merchant
Ive walked these streets
A virtual stage
it seemed to me
make up on their faces
actors took their places
next to me.
Ive walked these streets
in a carnival
of sights to see
all the cheap thrill seekers
the vendors & the dealers
they crowded around me
have i been blind
have i been lost
inside myself
and my own mind
hypnotized,mesmerized
by what my eyes have seen?
Ive walked these streets
in a spectacle of wealth and poverty
in the diamond markets
the scarlet welcome carpet
that they just rolled out for me.
Ive walked these streets
in the mad house asylum they can be
where a wild eyed misfit pophet
on a traffic island stopped
and he raved of saving me.
have i been blind
have i been lost
inside myself and
my own mind
hypnotized,mesmerized
by what my eyes have seen?
have i been wrong
have i been wise
to shut my eyes
and play along
hypnotized,paralyzed
by what my eyes have found
by what my eyes have seen
what they have seen?
 
Ani DiFranco
"so what"
who's gonna give a shit
who's gonna take the call
when you find out that the road ahead
is painted on a wall
and you're turned up to top volume
and you're just sitting there in pause
with your feral little secret
scratching at you with its claws
and you're trying hard to figure out
just exactly how you feel
before you end up parked and sobbing
forehead on the steering wheel
who are you now
and who were you then
that you thought somehow
you could just pretend
that you could figure it all out
the mathematics of regret
so it takes two beers to remember now
and five to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what
how many times undone
can one person be
as they're careening through the facade
of their favorite fantasy
you just close your eyes slowly
like you're waiting for a kiss
and hope some lowly little power
will pull you out of this
but none comes at first
and little comes at all
and when inspiration finally hits you
it barely even breaks your fall
who were you then
and who are you
now that you can't pretend
that you can figure it all out
subtract out the impact
and the fall is all you get
so it takes two beers to remember now
and three more to forget
that i loved you so
yeah, i loved you, so what
i loved you
so what
"Grey"
the sky is grey
the sand is grey
and the ocean is grey
and i feel right at home
in this stunning monochrome
alone in my way
i smoke and i drink
and every time i blink
i have a tiny dream
*(this is my fav line ever)*
but as bad as i am
i'm proud of the fact
that i'm worse than i seem
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key
will wash up on the shore
you walk through my walls
like a ghost on tv
you penetrate me
and my little pink heart
is on its little brown raft
floating out to sea
and what can i say
but i'm wired this way
and you're wired to me
and what can i do
but wallow in you
unintentionally
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key
will wash up on the shore
regretfully
i guess i've only got three
simple things to say:
why me?
why this now?
why this way?
with overtones ringing
and undertows pulling away
under a sky that is grey
on sand that is grey
by an ocean that's grey
what kind of paradise am i looking for?
i've got everything i want
and still i want more
maybe some tiny shiny key
will wash up on the shore
 
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
