Shelter from the Storm by Bob Dylan
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved. Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail, Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed. Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose. I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born. "Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

Thanks, Snowdog, I can't get enough Bob Dylan!
Here's one that's not so old, but it still resonates for me. Lyrics by Nick Lowe (I believe the man's a genius), and my favorite recording is the one he produced for Elvis Costello and the Attractions on the positively brilliant album Armed Forces. And, yes, I have it on vinyl and it still sounds GREAT. (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding As I walk through This wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity. I ask myself Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred, and misery? And each time I feel like this inside, There's one thing I wanna know: What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? And as I walked on Through troubled times My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes So where are the strong And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony. 'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry. What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? So where are the strong? And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony? Sweet harmony. 'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry. What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

Yea! I have all the Stiff Records artists, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Dave Edmonds, Wreckless Eric, Ian Drury and the Blockheads...who else? Nick Lowe is hilarious, great pop. I do like Costello's version of this song better than Lowes...his band plays it faster, and a little edgier. Finally, some lyrics in this thread that I don't find overly H..E.. A..V..Y..!

As for Costello's version of What's So Funny..., Lowe produced the album (Armed Forces)...this could be why it's so good!

Rockpile was so great! ...I go into some kind of "bliss state" whenever I hear that chuka chuka rhythm guitar beat that is Edmond's signature. I've been playing a Fabulous Thunderbirds tape in my car this week, that is produced by Edmonds...Chuka chuka! Sorry to go OT...back to "the Heavy"!

back to the heavy
I love this song, which is on the soundtrack to O, Brother, Where Art Thou?
I Am Weary (Let Me Rest) Kiss me, Mother, Kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast, Throw your loving arms around me, I am weary, let me rest. Seems the light is swiftly fading, Brighter seems they soon will show (?) I am standing by the River, Angels wait to take me Home. Kiss me, Mother, Kiss your darlin' See the pain upon my brow, I will soon be with the angels, Fate has doomed my future now. Through the years you've always loved me And my life you've tried to save, But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave. Kiss me, Mother, Kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast, Throw your loving arms around me, I am weary, let me rest. I am weary, let me rest. |

Oh.. They (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) also did a good cover of Man of Constant Sorrow.
I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen trouble all my days I'll say goodbye to Colorado Where I was born and partly raised. Your mother says I'm a stranger My face you'll never see no more But there's one promise, darling: I'll see you on God's golden shore. Through this open world I'm about to trouble Through ice and snows, sleet and rain I'm about to ride that morning railroad Perhaps I'll die on that train. I'm going back to Colorado The place that I started from If I had known how bad you'd treat me honey I never would have come. |

Band: Nevermore
song: Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday Inside black decision concealing what no one knows but I To regain the vision that my freewill once cast aside Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday The sweet downhill sadness of our slow decay Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday And I see the fault of the steps that I mislaid Tonight the north wind spoke to the trees And said, "Open your eyes" Deep silver glimmer slither, drip down And emoition dies, emotion dies Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday And I see the fault in a chance that never was taken Tomorrow turned, tomorrow's gone But did we learn, where we went oh so wrong Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday Tomorrow Turned Into Yesterday Tomorrow turned, tomorrow's gone But did we learn, where we went oh so wrong Oh so wrong |

song: Insignificant Ours is not to question the reasons why Crippled indecision repeats the path I once denied Insignificant, am I ? The color of sundown,of crimson sky The beauty that breaks down And gives the day unto the night And then one day you'll realize Just a speck in the spectrum Insignificant,am I ? And then one day you'll realize The beauty that breaks down never knows the reason why scan my horizon as blue turns to black the sky is gone again and all beneath are born to die insignificant,am I ? And then one day you'll realize Just a speck in the spectrum Insignificant,am I ? And then one day you'll realize The beauty that breaks down never learns the reason why |

Warren Zevon
Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner
by Warren Zevon Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war Fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese Roland the Thompson gunner... His comrades fought beside him - Van Owen and the rest But of all the Thompson gunners Roland was the best So the CIA decided they wanted Roland dead That son-of-a-bitch Van Owen blew off Roland's head Roland the headless Thompson gunner (Time, time, time For another peaceful war Norway's bravest son But time stands still for Roland 'Til he evens up the score) They can still see his headless body stalking through the night In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun In the muzzle flash of Roland's Thompson gun Roland searched the continent for the man who'd done him in He found him in Mombassa in a barroom drinking gin Roland aimed his Thompson gun - he didn't say a word But he blew Van Owen's body from there to Johannesburg Roland the headless Thompson gunner... The eternal Thompson gunner, still wandering through the night Now it's ten years later but he still keeps up the fight In Ireland, in Lebanon, in Palestine and Berkeley Patty Hearst heard the burst of Roland's Thompson gun And bought it

Dragonland - World's End
[Music: Magnusson, Lyrics: Heidgert, Magnusson] "At last after endless searching i have found him the dark prince! I fought my way up the highest mountain, and found him laughing on his throne made of the rotting carcasses of my people. To kill him, their leader is to defeat them all, i must win! This is my only chance, To save all i have ever lived for! FEAR...i must stay strong, it's been hard and i lost most of my loved ones. This is for them, this is for Dragonland!!! DIE, evil twisted creature...DIE!!!" Eye to eye, with our destinies Sword to sword, Will set one free Light to darkness, The future will be set Darkness to light, This will be the end For hours we fought Wounded and tired with no end in sight The storm draws near Upon the highest mountain we stand Steel against steel as we strike yet again Face to face we will fight to the death Then a mortal blow brings me to my knees All hope's gone, Dragonland is doomed As i'm bleeding My life is draining away In a world now embraced by darkness Evil's beginning to rise Soon the world will come to an end and all good will die Though the clan of dragons will survive someday in the future might a hero arise But can they hold on for so long? [Solo] Withered forests the homes of elves decayed Crumbled mountains the dwarves will be no more Shattered cities the humans slowly die Pungent wastelands the dark ones marching on Nothing is spared All in their path will be destroyed Their reign of terror Has barely begun Now the hordes of night begins their feast of victory Burning down and slaying everything Dark clouds cover the whole sky and black rain starts to fall And will do for ages come to pass Hundred years have passed now it is time to strike back Time to raise our swords and shields again But who will lead us, the armies of light this time? In the den of dragons hope is born...

Sum 41 - Over My Head Better Off Dead lyrics
What happened to you? You've played the victim for so long now in this game. What I thought was true is made of fiction and I'm following the same. But if I try to make sense of this mess I'm in I'm not sure where I should begin. I'm falling, I'm falling. Now I'm in over my head, with something I said. Completely misread I'm better off dead. And now I can see, how fake you can be This hypocracy's beginning to get to me. It's none of my concern. Don't look to me because I don't believe in fame. I guess you never heard. I've met our makers they don't even know your name. If I had to say goodbye to leave this hell I'd say my time has served me well. I'm falling, I'm falling. Now I'm in over my head, with something I said. Completely misread I'm better off dead. And now I can see, how fake you can be This hypocracy's beginning to get to... This came long before, those who suffer more I'm too awake for this to be a nightmare. What's with my disgrace I lost the human race no one plans for it to blow up in their face. Who said was easy to put back all these pieces. Who said was easy to put back all these pieces. Now I'm in over my head, with something I said. Completely misread I'm better off dead. And now I can see, how fake you can be This hypocracy's beginning to get to me. Over my head, better off dead. Over my head, better off dead

Artist: The White Stripes
Song: "Seven Nation Army" I'm gonna fight 'em off A seven nation army couldn't hold me back They're gonna rip it off Taking their time right behind my back And I'm talkin' to myself at night Because I can't forget Back and forth through my mind Behind a cigarette And the message comin' from my eyes says leave it alone... Don't wanna hear about it Every single one's got a story to tell Everyone knows about it From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell And if I catch it comin' back my way I'm gonna serve it to you And that ain't what you want to hear But that's what I'll do And the feeling coming from my bones says find a home... I'm going to Wichita Far from this opera forevermore I'm gonna work the straw Make the sweat drip out of every pore And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding Right before the lord All the words are gonna bleed from me And I will think no more And the stains comin' from my blood tell me "Go back home"...

My Lover's Gone
My lover's gone, His boots no longer by my door, He left at dawn, And as I slept I felt him go Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean, My lover's gone, No earthly ships will ever bring him home again. My lover's gone, I know that kiss will be my last, No more his song, The tune upon his lips has passed I sing alone, While I watch the ocean, My lover's gone, No earthly ships will ever bring him home again, Bring him home again
