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

[Azerane]

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

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

[Sombolia]

Who remembers this one? Early '90s, good times...

Spin Doctors - Two Princes

One, two princes kneel before you
That's what I said, now
Princes, princes who adore you
Just go ahead now
One has diamonds in his pockets
And that's some bread, now
This one said he wants to buy you rockets
Ain't in his head, now

This one, he got a princely racket
That's what I said, now
Got some big seal upon his jacket
Ain't in his head, now
You marry him, your father will condone you
How 'bout that, now?
You marry me, your father will disown you
He'll eat his hat, now

Marry him or marry me
I'm the one that loves you, baby, can't you see?
I ain't got no future or a family tree
But I know what a prince and lover ought to be
I know what a prince and lover ought to be

Said, if you want to call me baby
Just go ahead now
And if you'd like to tell me maybe
Just go ahead now
And If you wanna buy me flowers
Just go ahead now
And if you'd like to talk for hours
Just go ahead now

Come on, forget the king and marry me

Just go ahead now
And go ahead now
Yeah, just go ahead now
Yeah, if you want to buy me flowers
Just go ahead now
Yeah, just go ahead now, baby

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

[shadowland]

Who remembers this one? Early '90s, good times...

Spin Doctors - Two Princes

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

[Sombolia]

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

[Guntur]

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!

[Guntur]

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

[XoX]

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

[Kossu]

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...
