lyrics thread ( not silly or trite)

[Miranda]

My other half just sent these to me via email- had to share them. Gorgeous John Larson lyrics.

Your Eyes,

Your eyes, as we said our goodbyes,
Can't get them out of my mind,
And I find I can't hide,
From your eyes,
The one's that took me by surprise,
The night you came into my life,
Where there's moonlight I see your eyes.

How'd I let you slip away,
When I'm longing so to hold you,
Now I'd die for one more day,
'Cause there's something I should have told you,
There's something I should have told you,
When I looked into your eyes,
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along,
And before the song dies,
I should tell you,
I should tell you,
I have always loved you,
You can see it in my eyes.

Avril Lavigne

Complicated

Chill out,
What cha yelling for.
Lay back it's all been done before,
and if you could only let it be

I like you the way you are,
When we're driving in your car,
And your talking to me one
on one but you become

Somebody else round everyone else,
You're watching your back like
you can't relax you're trying to
be cool you look like a fool
to me.Tell me

(Chorus)

Why'd ya have to go ad make hings so
complicated see the way you're acting
like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
life'slike this you fall an you crawl and
you break and you take what you get and
you turn it into honesty promise me I'm never
gonna find ya fake it

No No No...

You come over unannounced dressed up
like you're something else where you are
aint where it's at you see you'e
making me laugh out when you
strike your pose take off all
your preppy clothes! You know
your not fooling ayone when you become

Somebody else round everyone else,
You're watching your back like
you can't relax you're trying to
be cool you look like a fool
to me.Tell me

(repeat chorus)

Chill out,
What cha yelling for.
Lay back it's all been done before,
and if you could only let it be
you will see

Somebody else round everyone else,
You're watching your back like
you can't relax you're trying to
be cool you look like a fool
to me.Tell me

(2x chorus)

[wahine]

I think it's so sweet when pop-stars think there rock stars.

Disturbed-Darkness
Don't turn away
I pray you've heard
The words I've spoken
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll get the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

Carry me away
I need your strength
To get me through this
Dare to believe
For one last time
And then I'll let the

Darkness cover me
Deny everything
Slowly walk away
To breathe again
On my own

[Epona of Rohan]

I love you all! Savage Garden, Goo Goo Dolls, Sarah McLachlan... someone even put my current favorite song, "Wish You Were Here" by Incubus! *cries*

The Background - Third Eye Blind

Everything is quiet
Since you're not around
And I live in the numbness now
In the background

I do the things we did before
I walk Haight Street to the store
And they say where's that crazy girl
You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more
I don't see you anymore
Since the hospital

The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words we use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because
I carry you around
In the background

Ghosts they come and memories all repeat
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
And I would never lie to you no
I would never lie to you no
I felt you long after we were through
When we were through

The plans I make still have you in them
Cause you come swimming into view
And I'm hanging on your words
Like I always used to do
The words we use so lightly
I only feel for you
I only know because
I carry you around
In the background

[WallRocker]

I'm gonna guess no one's ever heard of this band, but they're one of my favorites:

Artist : Benjamin Gate, The
Song : All Over Me
Album : ['untitled']

Wave come, wave fall.
Cast me on your broken shore.
Son come son fall.
Cast me on your love so warm.
Jesus' love is, Jesus' love is

Chorus
All over me, all over me
Your love is all over me
All over me, All over me
Your love is

Christ come Christ crawl
Nailed to a cross so tall
All come all fall
All walk with hearts so torn
Jesus' love is Jesus' love is

Chorus

[WallRocker]

Same with this band:

Artist : Pillar
Song : Indivisible
Album : Fireproof



For all the people in the world that don't understand
Exactly what it is we have here in this motherland
See the Father's hand started up a master plan
There's been many through the test of time take a stand
But had they ran who knows where we would be now
I thank God it's something I don't have to think about
Instead my thoughts are on the ones who laid it on the line
KIA gave their lives to let freedom shine
But in the meantime I think of those of your kind
And wonder how it is you get things so messed up inside your mind
Just think a second how long it's been going on before you
They're the one's who even helped you have the right to argue

Stop complaining move along
Open your eyes and see what's going on
We need to get back to the ways of the days of old
One nation under God indivisible

Chorus

All the people let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust
The people of the nation let me hear you give a holler
In God we trust, In God we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In God we trust, In God we trust

The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the motto taken off of the Benjamin Franklin
They got a problem with my God and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the money when they spend it
They're so offended by 4 words that need no explanation
In GOD we trust the motto of this greatest nation
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack a bag and you can leave

One nation under God indivisible
You can't take back that, that was never yours

The Leader/The Vision/What About Me? - Chris de Burgh

(technically these are 3 different songs, but they play together musically as one, so are being posted as such)

The Leader

I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign - a light in the sky.
Oh the message is clear that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;

A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again,

For it is written, that a leader will be here.
And then a vision, left me blinded by the light,
And it started right in front of my eyes...

The Vision

And I saw a burning chariot.
And the four horsemen of the apocalypse waiting on high,
And I heard the thunder rolling in,
And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky;

And I saw this land a battlefield,
With a hundred thousand men fighting hand to hand,
And I heard the sounds of victory
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies,

And I saw the fire from the sky
I saw fire, and I saw paradise,
Fire from the sun, I saw fire,
And I saw alpha and omega;

Fire, I saw fire,
And I saw paradise,
Fire, I saw fire;

What About Me?

I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
I have seen to the future, and the future is here,
Our leader will bring victory but our land is in flames,
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say...

What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
Well what about us?

[azalea]

I'm feeling depressed, so I have just listened to one of my favorite "depressed" songs (or anytime songs for that matter):

Black Peter by the Grateful Dead

All of my friends come to see me last night;
I was layin' in my bed and dyin'.
Anyone knows from Sam and Jim
say the weather down here so fine.
Just then the wind came squallin' through the door,
But who can the weather command?
Just wanna have a little peace to die
And a friend or two I love at hand.
Fever rolled up to a hundred and five;
Roll on up, gonna roll back down.
One more day I find myself alive,
Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.
See here how everything lead up to this day,
And it's just like any other day that's ever been,
Sun comin' up and then the sun it goin' down,
Shine through my window and my friends they come around...
Come around...
Come around...
The people might know but the people don't care
That a man could be as poor as me.
Take a look at poor Peter, he's lyin' in pain,
Now let's go run and see...
Run and see...
Run and see...
Run, run and see...
Hey and see...

[Baby-K]

Supervixen (Garbage)

Come down to my house, stick a stone in your mouth
You can always pull out if you like it too much

Make a whole new religion:
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsessions
There'll be nothing but this...thing that you'll never doubt

It is hard to resist and I have never missed
I can take you out with just a flick of my wrist

Make a whole new religion:
A falling star that you cannot live without
And I'll feed your obsessions
There is nothing than this...thing that you'll never doubt
This thing you'll never doubt

And I'll feed your obsessions
The falling star that you cannot live without
I will be your religion
This thing you'll never doubt
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Bow down to me.............

Now I want it too much
Now I want it to stop
Now I'm looking like a falling star just fell over me (x2)

[wahine]

Azalea, I love grateful dead. Great song, at least I think. Here's mine.

Metallica
King Nothing
Load

Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this wish tonight
Are you satisfied?

Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

And it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle crumbled
And you've left with just a name

Where's your crown?
King nothing

Hard and cold
Bought and sold
A heart hard as gold
Are you satisfied

Wish I may
Wish I might
You wish your life away
Are you pacified

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

I wish I may
I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight

I want the star
I want it now
I want it all and i don't care how

Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish
You may regret it

Careful what you wish
You just might get it

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around

(Note: This is from a very bad memory.)

[afro-elf]

Gary Moore

It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white

All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun



It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
They want to fight

There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun



There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again

Out in the fields
Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun




In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away

[Draken]

Nice one A-E.... ahh Phil Lynott, what a rock hero he was...

Anyway...


Common People by Pulp

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College, that's where I caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said in that case I'll have a rum and coke-cola.
She said fine and in thirty seconds time she said, I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you.
Well what else could I do - I said I'll see what I can do.
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere, so it started there.
I said pretend you've got no money, she just laughed and said oh you're so funny.
I said yeah? Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here.
Are you sure you want to live like common people
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people,
you want to sleep with common people like me?
But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop, cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool, pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climb the wall
If you call your Dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do what common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view, and dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you thru'
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you and the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.

[Insidious Rex]

Radiohead: Creep

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so f*ckin' special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so f*ckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so f*ckin' special
I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

[Insidious Rex]

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
---
*Bob plays beautiful acoustic for a bit*
---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fulfil de book.
Won't you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Title:You can't take me
Artist: Bryan Adams
Album: Spirit (yes I knoe it's a kid movie but i love the lyrics and the songs)

Chorus
Don't judge a thing till you know what's inside it
Don't push me I'll fight it
Never gonna give inNever gonna give it up no
If you can't catch a wave then you're never gonna ride it
You can't some, univited
Never gonna give in- Never gonna give it up no

[Aralyn]

Title: Believe
Artist: Newsboys
Album:Stepping up to the microphone

. . . In this world turning gray strikes a chord when I say
there is black, there is white
there is wrong and there is right
there is no alibi if it's not the truth its . .?

Falling for the truth again

not by the wisdom of a man or a machine

this is not preference or a taste that disagrees

the evidence of things unseen

the more you look the more you see . .

[Insidious Rex]

Led Zeppelin
The Battle Of Evermore

Queen of Light took her bow, And then she turned to go,
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom, And walked the night alone.

Oh, dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The dark Lord rides in force tonight, And time will tell us all.

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, Rest not to lock your homes.

Side by side we wait the might of the darkest of them all.

I hear the horses' thunder down in the valley blow,
I'm waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow.

The apples of the valley hold, The seeds of happiness,
The ground is rich from tender care, Repay, do not forget, no, no.
Dance in the dark of night, sing to the morning light.

The apples turn to brown and black, The tyrant's face is red.

Oh the war is common cry, Pick up you swords and fly.
The sky is filled with good and bad that mortals never know.

Oh, well, the night is long the beads of time pass slow,
Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow.

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath,
The drums will shake the castle wall, the ring wraiths ride in black, Ride on.

Sing as you raise your bow, shoot straighter than before.
No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold.

Oh dance in the dark of night, Sing to the morning light.
The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back. Bring it back.

At last the sun is shining, The clouds of blue roll by,
With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes.

[Insidious Rex]

JACK OFF JILL

"When I Am Queen"

When I am queen I will insist with perfect scars upon my wrists
that everything you once held dear is taken away from you

When I am queen sweet girlscout's face and not a one will fall from grace. If all their hearts I could replace, but until then I'll have to...

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown.....

When I am queen on royal throne made out of parts of broken bones of all the devils I have known that suck the angels dry

When I am queen I'll have my way I'll make it drowning dollie day
and all the tears that we have cried will suck back in our eyes

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Hush baby hush baby
Hush baby go to sleep
Hush baby hush baby
Hush baby I'll make it be

When I am queen I will not wait my body type will still be great
I will not leave it up to fate because I hate you too

When I am queen they all will see the patron saint of self-injury
the glitter sores will heal themselves I'll play the part of someone else

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown drown drown myself
Drown....

Yeah! Another Newsboys fan! I'm so happy Here's one of my favorites by the boys from Down Under:

Artist : Newsboys
Song : Lost The Plot


When You come back again
would You bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumor that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.

Sigh.
Let's be blunt.
I'm a little distracted.
What do You want?

Headaches and bad faith
are all that I've got.
First I misplaced the ending
then I lost the plot.

Out among free-range sheep
while the big birds sharpen their claws.
For a time we stuck with the Shepherd
but You wouldn't play Santa Claus

Sigh.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little distracted.
What do You want?

Once we could follow,
now we cannot.
You would not fit our image,
so we lost the plot

Once we could hear You.
Now our senses are shot.
We've fogotten our first love.
We have lost the plot.

When I saw You for the first time
You were hanging with a thief.
And I knew my hands were dirty,
and I dropped my gaze.
Then You said I was forgiven
and You welcomed me with laughter.
I was happy ever after.
I was counting the days
when You'd come back again.
We'll be waiting for You.
When You comin' back again?
We'll be ready for You.
Maybe we'll wake up when...
maybe we'll wake up when
You come back again.

Lies.
Let's be blunt.
We're a little unfaithful.
What do You want?

Are You still listening?
'Cause we're obviously not.
We've forgotten our first love.
We have lost the plot.

And why are You still calling?
You forgave, we forgot.
We're such experts at stalling
that we lost the plot.
lost the plot.

When You come back again
would You bring me something from the fridge?
Heard a rumor that the end is near
but I just got comfortable here.

[Smaug]

Can't believe this is ten years old already. This one always gets a double play when it comes up in my MP3 player.

"Everyday Glory", from Counterparts, by Rush

In the house where nobody laughs
And nobody sleeps
In the house where love lies dying
And the shadows creep
A little girl hides, shaking,
With her hands on her ears
Pushing back the tears, 'til the pain disappears

Mama says some ugly words
Daddy pounds the wall
They can fight about their little girl later
But right now, they don't care at all
No matter what they say...
No matter what they say...

EVERYDAY PEOPLE
EVERYDAY SHAME
EVERYDAY PROMISE
SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES

EVERYDAY SUNRISE
ANOTHER EVERYDAY STORY
RISE FROM THE ASHES -
A BLAZE OF EVERYDAY GLORY

In the city where nobody smiles
And nobody dreams
In the city where desperation
Drives the bored to extremes

Just one spark of decency
Against the starless night
One glow of hope and dignity
A child can follow the light
No matter what they say
No matter what they say...

If the future's looking dark
We're the ones that have to shine
If there's no one in control
We're the ones who draw the line
Though we live in trying times -
We're the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings -
We're the ones who have to fly
