Lyrics That Appeal To You Today!

This is another one that appeals to me every day, but has been running through my head all day since I played it at a gig last night. Killer lyrics.

Anne Clark - Sleeper In Metropolis

As a sleeper in metropolis
You are insignificance
Dreams become entangled in the system

Environment moves over the sleeper:
Conditioned air
Conditions sedated breathing
The sensation of viscose sheets on naked flesh
Soft and warm
But lonesome in the blackened ocean of night

Confined in the helpless safety of desires and dreams
We fight our insignificance
The harder we fight
The higher the wall

Outside the cancerous city spreads
Like an illness
It's symptoms
In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations
Tailed by the silent spotlights
Of society created paranoia

No alternative could grow
Where love cannot take root
No shadows will replace
The warmth of your contact

Love is dead in metropolis
All contact through glove or partition
What a waste
The City -
A wasting disease

You mean you DID play at HTs? I had it in my diary, but I figured it wasn't happening because I hadn't heard any more about it. :(
 
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Knockin' on Joe

These chains of sorrow, they are heavy, it is true
And these locks cannot be broken,
no, not with one thousand keys
O Jailer, you wear a ball-n-chain you cannot see
You can lay your burden on me
You can lay your burden down on me
You can lay your burden down upon me
But you cannot lay down those memories.

Woooo wooo wooo
Woooo wooo wooo
Here I go!
Knockin on Joe!
This square foot of sky will be mine til I die
Knocking on Joe
Woooo wooo wooo
All down the row.
Knockin on Joe.

O Warden I surrender you
Your fists cain't hurt me anymore
You know, these hands will never wash
These dirty Death Row floors
O Preacher, come closer, you don't scare me anymore
Just tell Nancy not to come here
Just tell her not to come here anymore
Tell Nancy not to come
And let me die in the memory of her arms.

O woo woo woo
Woo woo woo
All down the row.
Knockin on Joe.
O you kings of halls and ends of halls
You will die within these walls
And I'll go, all down the row
Knockin on Joe.

O Nancy's body is a coffin,
she wears my tombstone at her head
O Nancy's body is a coffin,
she wears my tombstone at her head
She wears her body like a coffin
She wears a dress of gold and red
She wears a dress of gold and red
She wears a dress of red and gold
Grave-looters at my coffin
before my bodies even cold.

It's a door for when I go
Knockin on Joe
These hands will never mop
your dirty Death Row floors
No! You can hide! You can run!
O but your trial is yet to come
O you can run! You can hide!
But you have yet to be tried!
You can lay your burden down here
You can lay your burden down here
Knockin on Joe
You can lay your burden upon me
You can lay your burden down upon me
Knockin on Joe
You cain't hurt me anymore
Knockin on Joe.
 
I never meant to hurt you.
I never meant to try.
So this is goodbye.

Moby

Divinyls - I Touch Myself

Oh how I love the Divinyls!

Holly Throsby - Things between people

I don't know if it's because she's Australian, or because she's from my area, or simply because she speaks the truth for so many relationships, but this song is exactly how things still are when I see my ex, right down to the last detail. I love/hate her for it.

All these old mistakes, they catch us up
The same old patterns form again
Till every day feels the same

I usually bring the car out front and she gathers up and finds her things
While he can't see where his friends stop and his lovers begin
He says 'I cannot be around you because god knows it hurts
But I cannot be without you 'cause it's much, much worse'
So he reels me in and he reels me out again
 
"Can't you see, you've got a hold on me?"

Raz,

yossarian_is_sane aka Aaron is the one who shot you. His brother shot me in '99. You didn't have to sell out, though.
 
A Moment of Silence - Streetlight Manifesto

A moment of silence, please,
For those that never had the chance.
They show up to the party but
Are never asked to dance:
The losers, the liars,
The bastards, the thieves,
The cynicists, the pessimists
And those that don't
Believe in nothing.

It's not yet winter, but this seems appropriate on a dark, foggy day.

Paul Simon - I Am A Rock

A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Don't talk of love,
Well I've heard the word before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.

I'll keep my questions in a can, my hands inside my pockets. If you like, you can lock it. I won't look you in the eye.

And with needle pressed on to tight skin, Sonny, I cry to see where it's taken you.

THE USED
"The Taste Of Ink"

Is it worth it can you even hear me
Standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now
In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old
It's four o' clock in the fucking morning
Each day gets more and more like the last day
Still I can see it coming
While I'm standing in the river drowning
This could be my chance to break out
This could be my chance to say goodbye
At last it's finally over
Couldn't take this town much longer
Being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
Now I'm ready to be free

So here I am it's in my hands
And I'll savor every moment of this
So here I am alive at last
And I'll savor every moment of this

And won't you think I'm pretty
When I'm standing top the bright lit city
And I'll take your hand and pick you up
And keep you there to so you can see
As long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
And we'll drink and dance the night away

As long as you're alive
Here I am
I promise I will take you there

Inside your feeble brain theres probably a whore
If you dont shut your mouth youre gonna feel the floor.. :)
 
"The Patient" by Tool

if there were no reward to reap
no loving embrace to see me through
this tedious path i've chosen here
i certainly would have walked away by now

if there were no desire to heal
the damaged and broken met along
this tedious path i've chosen here
i certainly would have walked away by now

and i still may
 
"Well, I'm the one who hides his medicine."--t<rick>y.

"It all became a silly game, some things cannot be bought. I got exactly what I asked for, wanted it so badly, running rushing back for more, I suffered fools so gladly, but now I find I've changed my mind.
