    The Song Lyrics Thread

    First Post.

    Fantastic Plastic Machine - Steppin Out

    Now the mist across the window hides the lines
    But nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine
    Electricity so fine look and dry your eyes

    We so tired of all the darkness in our lives
    With no more angry words to say can come alive
    Get into a car and drive to the other side

    Chorus:
    Me babe, steppin' out
    Into the night, into the light
    You babe, steppin' out
    Into the night, into the light

    We are young but getting old before our time
    We'll leave the t.v. and the radio behind
    Don't you wonder what we'll find steppin' out tonight

    You can dress in pink and blue just like a child
    And in a yellow taxi turn to me and smile
    We'll be there in just a while if you follow me

    Chorus

    I love this song: I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.

    Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
    I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
    I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

    Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
    And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
    I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

    But I won't hesitate no more, no more
    It cannot wait, I'm yours

    Well open up your mind and see like me
    Open up your plans and then you're free
    Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

    Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
    We're just one big family
    And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

    So I won't hesitate no more, no more
    It cannot wait, I'm sure
    There's no need to complicate, our time is short
    This is our fate, I'm yours

    D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
    But do you want to come on
    Scooch on over closer dear
    And I will nibble your ear

    I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
    And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
    But my breath fogged up the glass
    And so I drew a new face and I laughed

    I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
    To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
    It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

    But I won't hesitate no more, no more
    It cannot wait, I'm yours

    (I won't hesitate)
    Open up your mind and see like me
    (No more, no more)
    Open up your plans and damn you're free
    Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
    (It cannot wait, I'm sure)

    So please don't, please don't, please don't
    (There's no need to complicate)
    There's no need to complicate
    (Our time is short)
    'Cause our time is short
    (This is our fate)
    This is, this is, this is our fate
    I'm yours
    That which you manifest is before you.

    Tool - Schism

    I know the pieces fit 'cause I watched them fall away
    Mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing
    Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls' in motion
    Disintegrating as it goes, testing our communication
    The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us, so
    We cannot see to reach an end, crippling our communication

    I know the pieces fit, 'cause I watched them tumble down
    No fault, none to blame, it doesn't mean I don't desire to
    Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over
    To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

    The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
    And the circling is worth it
    Finding beauty in the dissonance

    There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away
    Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
    I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
    Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication

    Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion

    Between supposed lovers
    Between supposed lovers

    And I know the pieces fit
    And I know the pieces fit
    And I know the pieces fit
    And I know the pieces fit
    And I know the pieces fit
    And I know the pieces fit
    And I know the pieces fit
    And I know the pieces fit

    After The Storm - Mumford & Sons


    And after the storm,
    I run and run as the rains come
    And I look up, I look up,
    on my knees and out of luck,
    I look up.

    Night has always pushed up day
    You must know life to see decay
    But I won't rot, I won't rot
    Not this mind and not this heart,
    I won't rot.

    And I took you by the hand
    And we stood tall,
    And remembered our own land,
    What we lived for.

    And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
    And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
    Get over your hill and see what you find there,
    With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

    And now I cling to what I knew
    I saw exactly what was true
    But oh no more.
    That's why I hold,
    That's why I hold with all I have.
    That's why I hold.

    I won't die alone and be left there.
    Well I guess I'll just go home,
    Oh God knows where.
    Because death is just so full and man so small.
    Well I'm scared of what's behind and what's before.

    And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
    And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
    Get over your hill and see what you find there,
    With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

    Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden

    She'll let you in her house
    If you come knockin' late at night
    She'll let you in her mouth
    If the words you say are right
    If you pay the price
    She'll let you deep inside
    But there's a secret garden she hides

    She'll let you in her car
    To go drivin' round
    She'll let you into the parts of herself
    That'll bring you down
    She'll let you in her heart
    If you got a hammer and a vise
    But into her secret garden, don't think twice

    You've gone a million miles
    How far'd you get
    To that place where you can't remember
    And you can't forget

    She'll lead you down a path
    There'll be tenderness in the air
    She'll let you come just far enough
    So you know she's really there
    She'll look at you and smile
    And her eyes will say
    She's got a secret garden
    Where everything you want
    Where everything you need
    Will always stay
    A million miles away

    Two Princes? I don't think I heard that one before.

    Or Somby, remember this tune?

    Pantera - Rise

    We've got no time to lose
    Your news is old news
    Hate this, hate me, hate this
    Right approach for the wrong
    It's time to spread the word
    Let the voice be heard
    All of us, one of us, all of us
    Dominate and take the -Mf- world

    Mass prediction, unification
    Breathing life into out lungs
    EVERY creed and EVERY kind
    To give us depth for strength

    Taught when we're young to hate one another
    It's time to have a new reign of power
    Make pride universal so no one gives in
    Turn our backs on those who oppose
    Then when confronted we ask them the question
    That's wrong with their mind?
    What's wrong with your mind?

    (Chorus) It's time to RISE

    We've lived with past mistakes
    And we've lived with our own
    Forgive, forget forgive
    Be a man, not a child
    There are to tears for peace
    Of the common sympathies
    Educate, reinstate, educate
    A thing of past
    The trouble in the states

    It's time to rise

    I remember that my mum and sister are loopy about it

    R.E.M.- Diminished

    I watched you fall, I think I pushed
    Maybe I'm crazy, maybe diminished, maybe I'm innocent
    Maybe I'm finished, maybe I blacked out
    How do I play this?

    I will give my best today, I will give myself away
    I have never hurt anything
    Is the jury wavering? Do they know I sing?

    Maybe I'm crazy, maybe diminished, how do I...?
    How do I play this?
    Jealous lover, self defense
    Protective brother, chemical dependance
    I'll consult the i-ching, I'll consult the TV, ouija
    Oblique strategies
    I'll consult the law books for precedents
    Can I charm the jury?

    I will give my best today, I will give myself away
    I have never hurt anything
    Is the jury wavering? Do she know I sing that song?
    Sing along, sing along, sing along...
    (I will never hurt anything)

    I watched you fall, maybe they'll see me, maybe they'll say
    "I can see the truth in his statement
    Smallpox blanket, no way"
    Can I charm the jury, my defense? Maybe I'm crazy
    Maybe diminished, maybe I loved you
    Baby I loved you, baby I loved you, baby I loved you
    Baby I'm finished

    I will give my best today, I will give myself away
    I have never hurt anything
    Is the jury wavering? Do she know I sing that song?
    Sing along, sing along, sing along...
    (I will never hurt anything)
    I have given myself away, I have given my best today
    I have never hurt anything, is the justice wavering?
    Does she know I loved you?
    Does she know I loved you?
    Does she know I sing?


    ~segue into I'm Not Over You~

    I feel great, I lied to save your feelings
    Truth convened, my head smashed through the cieling
    I lost an arm, no-one harmed you
    Diplomatically alarmed
    I sulked away to lick my thin skin
    And I'm not over you
    I'm not over you
    I'm not over you

    Of course I remember Pantera (We need a rock on smiley...)

    Shiny Toy Guns - Stripped

    Come with me into the trees
    We'll lay on the grass and let the hours pass
    Take my hand, come back to the land
    Let's get away just for one day

    Let me see you stripped down to the bone
    Let me hear you speaking just for me
    Let me see you stripped down to the bone
    Let me hear you crying just for me

    Let me hear you make decisions without your television
    Let me hear you speaking just for me

    Metropolis has nothing on this
    You're breathing in fumes, I taste when we kiss
    Take my hand, come back to the land
    Where everything's ours, just for a few hours

    Let me see you stripped down to the bone
    Let me hear you speaking just for me
    Let me see you stripped down to the bone
    Let me hear you crying just for me

    Let me hear you make decisions without your television
    Let me hear you speaking just for me

    Megadeth - Holy Wars... The Punishment Due!

    Brother will kill brother
    Spilling blood across the land
    Killing for religion
    Something I don't understand

    Fools like me, who cross the sea
    And come to foreign lands
    Ask the sheep, for their beliefs
    Do you kill on God's command?

    A country that's divided
    Surely will not stand
    My past erased, no more disgrace
    No foolish naive stand

    The end is near, it's crystal clear
    Part of the master plan
    Don't look now to Israel
    It might be your homeland

    Holy wars

    [Solo - Friedman]

    Upon my podium, as the
    Know it all scholar
    Down in my seat of judgement
    Gavel's bang, uphold the law
    Up on my soapbox, a leader
    Out to change the world
    Down in my pulpit as the holier
    Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God

    Wage the war on organized crime
    Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks
    Behind the lines
    Some people risk to employ me
    Some people live to destroy me
    Either way they die. they die

    [Solo - Friedman]

    They killed my wife and my baby,
    With hopes to enslave me
    First mistake... last mistake
    Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants
    Next mistake... no more mistakes!

    [Solo - Friedman]

    [Solo - Mustaine]

    Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite
    Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't
    Thinkin' it.
    Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away
    I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose
    And the lack of mercy killings.
    mercy killings
    mercy killings
    killings!!
    killings!!
    killings!!
    next thing you know
    they'll take my thoughts away!

    It's time to revive this thread, I'm at the moment digging on Chinese Democracy album, well I only like a few track of it but this song just strike in my chord in the sweetest way.


    Guns N Roses - Prostitute


    "Prostitute"

    Seems like forever and a day

    If my intentions are misunderstood,
    Please be kind
    I've done all I should.
    I won't ask of you
    What I would not do.
    Oh, I saw the damage in you
    My fortunate one
    The envy of youth.

    Why would they
    Tell me to please those
    That laugh in my face
    When all of the reasons
    They've taught us
    Fall over themselves
    To give way

    It's not a question of
    Whether my heart is true
    Streamlined
    I had to pull thought
    Look for a new
    Beginning on you
    Oh I got a message for you
    Up and away
    It's what I gotta do
    Forgive what you have
    For what you might lose.

    What would you say
    If I told you that I'm to blame
    And what would you do
    If I had to deny your name
    Where would you go if I told you
    I love you and then walked away
    N' who should I turn to
    If not for the ones
    You would not save

    I told you when I found you
    If there were doubts you
    Should be careful and unafraid
    Now they surround you
    And all that amounts to
    Is love that you fed by
    Perversion and fame

    So if my affections
    Are misunderstood
    And you decide
    I'm up
    To no good
    Don't ask me to
    Enjoy them
    Just for you

    Ask yourself
    What I would choose
    To prostitute myself
    To live with fortune and shame
    Oh yeah
    When you should
    Have turned to the hearts
    Of the ones
    That you could not save

    I told you
    When I found you
    All that amounts to
    Is love that you fed by
    Perversion and fame

    Kent Jones - Don't Mind (Kind of NSFW)

    She said, "Hola. ¿Cómo estás?" She said, "Konnichiwa."
    She said, "Pardon my French," I said, "Bonjour, Madame."
    Then she said, "Sak pase," and I said, "N'ap boule."


    This part always gets stuck in my head

    Starlight by Muse is stuck in my mind today.



    Far away
    The ship is taking me far away
    Far away from the memories
    Of the people who care if I live or die

    The starlight
    I will be chasing a starlight
    Until the end of my life
    I don't know if it's worth it anymore

    Hold you in my arms
    I just wanted to hold
    You in my arms

    My life
    You electrify my life
    Let's conspire to ignite
    All the souls that would die just to feel alive

    Now I'll never let you go
    If you promised not to fade away
    Never fade away

    Our hopes and expectations
    Black holes and revelations
    Our hopes and expectations
    Black holes and revelations

    Hold you in my arms
    I just wanted to hold
    You in my arms

    Far away
    The ship is taking me far away
    Far away from the memories
    Of the people who care if I live or die

    And I'll never let you go
    If you promise not to fade away
    Never fade away

    Our hopes and expectations
    Black holes and revelations
    Our hopes and expectations
    Black holes and revelations

    Hold you in my arms
    I just wanted to hold
    You in my arms

    I just wanted to hold...
