Into hiding / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
The islander slips into hiding
and takes to his heels
out of dark Northland
the musky house of Sarah
he whirled out of doors as snow
arrives as smoke in the yard
to flee from bad deeds
There he had to become someone else
he must change his shape
as an eagle he swept up
wanted to soar heavenward
the sun burnt his cheeks
the moon lit his brows
-------------------------------------------------------
The castaway / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
A bird flew out of Lapland
an eagle from the North East
One wing ruffled the water
and the other swept the sky
It's tail skimmed the sea
It flutters, it glides
it looks, it turns round
"Why, man are you in the sea
fellow, among the billows?"
-------------------------------------------------------
First doom / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
The mountains of North
shall erupt and flames
of darkland will raise
Hail to one who hails
Blood for one who bleeds
O you mistress of northland
queen of darkland
I may wash my hands of the
evil master's blood
For that is no man's doom
which I bring
that is child's doom
and it shall be the First doom
-------------------------------------------------------
Black winter day / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
This is how the lucky feel
how the blessed think
like daybreak in spring
the sun on a spring morning
But how do I feel
in my gloomy depths?
Like the flat brink of a cloud
like a dark night in autumn
a black winter day
no, darker than that
gloomier than an autumn night
-------------------------------------------------------
Drowned maid / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
I went to wash at the shore
I went to bathe in the sea
and there I, a hen, was lost
I, a bird
untimely died
Let not my brother
ever in this world
water his war-horse
upon the seashore!
Waters of the sea
so much blood of mine
fishes of the sea
so much flesh of mine
such the death of the young maid
end of the fair little hen
-------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
I have a good mind
take into my head
to start of singing
began reciting
We seldom get together
and meet each other
on these poor borders
the luckless lands of the north
Those words we have got
from the North's furthest fields,
from the heaths of Kalevala
-------------------------------------------------------
Forgotten sunrise / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
Once I had a mind
and thoughts was given
But nowadays, in this evil age
all my sense is somewhere else
Once I had a soul
I was one with my god
But now I am abandoned
banished from these lies
Long my tale's been in the cold
for ages has lain hidden
I know how to bewitch fire
and how to fame flames
I know how to banish worms
and turn snakes away
-------------------------------------------------------
To fathers cabin / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
O old man, good god
carefull man of heaven
keeper of storm clouds
make misty weather
and create a tiny cloud
in whose shelter I may go
-------------------------------------------------------
Magic and mayhem / Amorphis (Tales from the thousand lakes)
Hey there, tiny wench
my perpetual serf
put stew in a pot
bring water for the guest
Before we part
before your neck is broken
you strike first
son of the north
-------------------------------------------------------
Better unborn / Amorphis (Elect)
Better it would be for me
And better it would have been
Had I not been born, not grown
Not been brought into the world
Not had to come to this earth
Not been suckled for the world
If I'd died a three-night-old
Been lost in my swaddling band
I'd have needed but a span of cloth
A span more of wood,
But a cubit of good earth
Two words from the priest
Three verses from the cantor
One clang from the bell
-------------------------------------------------------
Against widows / Amorphis (Elect)
The Devil weds a widow
Death another's leftovers
Better to lie on a willows
Rest on alder boughs
Than upon a widow's pillow
On a used woman's pillow
Sweeter the side of a fence
Than a widow's flank
Softer the side of a grove
Than a widow's beside is
The Devil weds a widow
The grave one twice wed
A widow's hand is rougher
Than a dry spruce bought
With which she strikes the playful
Grabs the one who laughs
A widow has had her games
And spent a merry evening
-------------------------------------------------------
The orphan / Amorphis (Elect)
The calloo's spirits are low
Swimming on the chill water
But the orphan's are lower
Walking down the vilage street
The sparrow's belly is chill
Sitting on the icy bough
But my belly is more chill
As I step from glade to glade
The dove's heart is cold
As it pecks the village rick
But I'm colder still
As I drink the icy water
-------------------------------------------------------
On rich and poor / Amorphis (Elect)
Old folk remember
And those today learn
How before their time
Life was different here
Without the sun people lived
Groped about without the moon
With candles sowing was done
Planting performed with torches
At the time we lived
Without the sunshine
Who had covered up our sun
And who had hidden our moon?
Without the moonlight stumbled
With our fists fumbled the land
With our hands we sought our roads
With hands roads, with fingers swamps
We could not live without sun
Nor manage without moonlight;
Who would seek out the sun
Who spy out the moon?
Who else if not God
The one son of God?
-------------------------------------------------------
My kantele / Amorphis (Elect)
Truly they lie, they talk utter nonsense
Who say that music reckon that the kantele
Was fashioned by a god
Out of a great pike's shoulder
From a water-dog's hooked bones:
It was made from the grief
Moulded from sorrow
Its belly out of hard days
Its soundboard from endless woes
Its strings gathered from torments
And its pegs from other ills
So it will not play, will not rejoice at all
Music will not play to please
Give off the right sort of joy
For it was fashioned from cares
Moulded from sorrow
-------------------------------------------------------
Cares / Amorphis (Elect)
Many rocks the rapid has
A lot of billows the sea
More plentyfull are my cares
Than cones on a spruce
Beard moss on a juniper
Gnarls upon a pine bark
Knobs upon a fir
Husks on a grass-top
Boughs on a bad tree
Drag my cares away
Carry off my griefs
For no horse can draw
No iron-shod jerk
Without the shaft-bow shaking off
The cares of this skinny one
The sorrows of this black bird
-------------------------------------------------------
Song of the troubled one / Amorphis (Elect)
What the thrush toils at
The partridge asks for
The hapless one takes
The troubled one steals
Puts upon a spade
Sets on a runner
Hides under a door
Shields with a bath-whisk
The farmer hammers
And tempers his spears
Marries off his sons
Hands out his daughters
In boots clogged with clay
In fancy mittens
The sea-swell rumbles
And the wind it blows
And the king hears it
From five miles away
From six directions
From seven backwoods
From eight hearts away
-------------------------------------------------------
Weeper on the shore / Amorphis (Elect)
In the vale where I once listened out for the light
Where the little birds warble
The ptarmigans babble
And my heart looked about for some rest from its trouble
I cast my eyes downward upon the seaside
And a fair young girl on the shore I espied
Who was sitting and weeping
To see the waves leaping
And over the skyline sad virgil was keeping
O why are you weeping alone on the shore?
Now still from your eyes I can see the tears poor
What sorrow and smart
So pierces your heart
That even at midnight it will not depart?
-------------------------------------------------------
Elegy / Amorphis (Elect)
Long evenings full of longing
Low-spirited my mornings
Full of longing too my nights
And all times the bitterest
'Tis my lovely I long for
It is my darling I miss
My black-browed one I grieve for
There's no hearing my treasure
No seeing my marten-breast
No hearing her in the lane
Driving below the window
Chopping the wood by the stack
Clinking outside the cook-house
In the earth my berry lies
In the soil she's mouldering
Under the sand my sweet one
Beneath the grass my treasure
The one I grieve for
-------------------------------------------------------

Invisible man / The Breeders (Last splash)

And the summer sites

You're nowhere in sight (just imagine that)
Nothing excites you (baby, that's a fact)
Open your eyes
Look and you will find
That's all that's left behind ... the skies
And a sweet caress
The skies, the sights
And a sweet caress
He's the invisible man

One hundred years / The Cure (Pornography)
It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time
A story on the radio
Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer
For something better
Please love me
Meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?
She struggles to get away
The pain
And the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for saturday
The death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me
And turn me around
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth
And my head bursts open
A sound like tiger trashing in the water
Trashing in the water
Over and over
We die after the other after the other
It feels like a hundred years
One hundred years....

A short term effect / The Cure (Pornography)
Movement
No movement
Just a falling bridge
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
He lived and died
Catch sight
Cover me with earth
Draped in black
Static
White sound
A day without substance
A change of thought
An atmosphere rots whit time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect
Scream
As she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness
Jump jump dance and sing
Sideways across the desert
A charcoal face
Bites my hand
Time is sweet
Derange and disengage everything
A day without substance
A change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colours that flicker in the water
A short term effect
An echo
And a strangers hand
A short term effect
An echo
And a strangers hand
A short term effect

The hanging garden / The Cure (Pornography)
Creature kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden
Please don't speak
In th hanging garden
No one sleeps
Catching haloes on the moon
Gives my hands the shapes of angles
In the heat of the night
The animals scream
In the heat of the night
Walking into a dream...
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals cry
Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark
In a hanging garden
Change the past
In a hanging garden
Wearing furs
And masks
Fall fall fall fall
Into the walls
Jump jump out of time
Fall fall fall fall
Out of the sky
Cover my face as the animals die
In the hanging garden

Siamese twins / The Cure (Pornography)
I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels
The world disappeared
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss
The first colours
The first kiss
We writhed under a red licht
Voodoo smile
Siamese twins
A girl at the window looks at me for an hour
Then everything falls apart
Broken inside me
It falls apart
The walls and the ceiling move in time
Push a blade into my hands
Slowly up the stairs
And into the room
Is it always like this?
Dancing in my pocket
Worms eat my skin
She glows and grows
With arms outstretched
Her legs around me
In the morning I cried
Leave me to die
You won't remember my voice
I walked away and grew old
You never talk
We never smile
I scream
You're nothing
I don't need you anymore
You're nothing
It fades and spins...
Singing out loud
We all die
Laughing into the fire
Is it always like this?

The figurehead / The Cure (Pornography)
Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figures tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in chinese art and american girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In dispair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again

A strange day / The Cure (Pornography)
Give me your eyes
That I might see the blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
And the sand
And the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away on a strange day
And I laugh as I drift in the wind
Blind
Dancing on a beach of stone
Cherish the faces as they wait for the end
A sudden hush across the water
And we're here again
And the sand
And the sea grows
I close my eyes
Move slowly through drowning waves
Going away on a strange day
My head falls back
And the walls crash down
And the sky
And the impossible
Explode
Held for one moment I remember a song
An impression of sound
Then everything is gone
Forever
A strange day
-------------------------------------------------------
Cold / The Cure (Pornography)
Scarred
Your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you will never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart
-------------------------------------------------------
Pornography / The Cure (Pornography)
A hand in my mouth
A life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect
As we fall down
In an electric glare
The old man cracks with age
She found his last picture
In the ashes of the fire
An image of the queen
Echoes round the sweating bed
Sour yellow sound inside my head
In books
And films
And in life
And in heaven
The sound of slaughter
As your body turns
But it's too late
One more day like today and I'll kill you
A desire for flesh
And real blood
And I'll watch you drown in the shower
Pushing my life through your open eyes
I must fight this sickness
Find a cure ...

Plainsong / The Cure (Disintegration)
"I think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
"And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second
"I think I'm old and I'm feeling pain" you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the
world" you said "and it's so cold it like the
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for
a second
sometimes you make me feel like I'm living at
the edge of the world like I'm living at the edge
of the world "it's just the way I smile" you said

Pictures of you / The Cure (Disintegration)
I've been looking so long at these pictures of
you that I almost believe that they're real I've
been living so long with my pictures of you that
I almost believe that the pictures are all I can
feel
remembering you standing quiet in the rain as
I ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as
the sky fell in holding you close how I always
held close in your fear remembering you
running soft through the night you were bigger
and brighter and wider than snow and
screamed at the make-believe screamed at the
sky and you finally found all your courage to
let it all go
remembering you fallen into my arms crying
for the death of your heart you were stone
white so lost in the dark remembering you
how you used to be slow drowned you were
angels so much more than everything oh hold
for the last time then slip away quietly open
my eyes but I never see anything
if only i'd thought of the right words i could
have hold onto your heart if only i'd thought of
the right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all
my pictures of you
looking so long at these pictures of you but i
never hold onto your heart looking so long for
the words to be free but always just breaking
apart my pictures of you
there was nothing in the world that i ever
wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
there was nothing in the world that i ever
wanted more than to never feel the breaking
apart all my pictures of you
-------------------------------------------------------

Last dance / The Cure (Disintegration)
i'm so glad you came i'm so glad you
remembered to see how we're ending our last
dance together expectant too punctual but
prettier than ever i realy believe that this time
it's forever
but older than me now more constant more real
and the fur and the mouth and the innocence
turned to hair and contentment that hangs in
abasement a woman now standing where once
there was only a girl
i'm so glad you came i'm so glad you
remembered the walking through walls in the
heart of december the blindness of happiness
of falling down laughing and i real believe
that this time was forever
but christmas falls late now flatter and colder
and never as bright as when we used to fall all
this is an instant before i can kiss you a woman
now standing where once there was only a girl
i'm so glad you came i'm so glad you
remembered to see how we're ending our last
dance together reluctantly cautiously but
prettier than ever i really believe that this time
it's forever
but christmas falls late now flatter and colder
and never as bright as when we used to fall and
even if we drink i don't think we would kiss in
the way that we did when the woman was only a
girl

Lullaby / The Cure (Disintegration)
on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly! a movement in the corner of the
room! and there is nothing i can do when i
realize with fright that the spiderman is having
me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
arms are all around me and his tongue in my
eyes "be still be calm be quiet now my precious
boy don't struggle like that or i will only love
you more for it's much too late to get away or
turn on the light the spiderman is having you
for dinner tonight!"
and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand
million shivering furry holes and i know that in
the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry ...

The same deep water as you / The Cure (Disintegration)
kiss me goodbye pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i fry swimming the same deep
water as you is hard "the shallow drowned lose
less than we" you breathe the strangest twist
upon your lips "and we shall be together ..."
"kiss me goodbye how your head and join with
me" and face pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips and
disappear the ripples clear and laughing break
against your feet and laughing break the mirror
sweet "so we shall be together ..."
"kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep
it's lower now and slower now the strangest
twist upon your lips but i don't see and i don't
feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes and in my eyes your
smile the very last thing before i go ...

kiss you and we shall be together ...
-------------------------------------------------------
disintegration / The Cure (Disintegration)
oh i miss the kiss of threachery the shameless
kiss of vanity the soft and the black and the
velvety up tight against the side of me and
mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in
thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it
starts the need to just let go my party piece
oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss
before i feed the stench of a love for a younger
meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts
in deep the holding up on bended knees the
addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts
the need to just let go my party piece
but i never said i would stay to the end so i
leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
screaming like this is the hope of the secrecy
screaming me over and over and over i leave
you with photographs pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us know how the ending would
be ...
so it's all some back round to breaking apart
again breaking apart like i'm made up of glass
again making it up behind my back again
holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
holding it up behind my head again cut in deep
to the heart of the bone again round and round
and round and it's coming apart again over and
over and over
now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces i'll
pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone
crying for sympathy crocodiles cry for the love
of the crowd and the three cheers from
everyone dropping through sky through the
glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth
through the mouth of your eye through the eye
of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to
heaven than ever feel whole again
i never said i would stay to the end i know i
would leave you with babies and everything
screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
screaming me over and over and over i leave
you with photographs pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
songs about
happiness murmured in dreams when we both
of us knew how the end always is ...
how the end always is ...

Untitled / The Cure (Disintegration)
hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and my hands in the air again

but i never know if it's real never know how i
wanted to feel never quite said what i wanted
to say to you never quite managed the words to
explain to you never quite know how to make
them believable and now the time has gone
another time undone hopelessly fighting the
devil futility feeling the monster climb deeper
inside of me feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily i'll never lose this pain never dream of
you again

kinda like a dog

dances
on a living heart

on the top of the world
challenge the heavens
gonna bring you god
gonna bring you god
in the palm of the left
hand
black
gonna bring you god
kinda like
when the sun goes down
and darkness makes its climb
kinda like all your muscle tissue
starting to unwind
kinda like
if you brave the hate
feed it
to the left hand black
how i know
i can take their power
send it back at
triple times the strength
how i see the battle
and the bleeding human race
how i miss the taste of it
its sweet and warm
embrace
how i see
the world's demise
its last
and final gasp
how i see reality
explode
into another kind of life

i can make a girl
so eager to please
i can make a young girl
lay down
for me because
i'm evil
and
love is gone
my love is gone

devil on the left
angel on the right
there's no mistake
who i'll be with tonight
over in the fore
lamb's head on my lap
days
pass like weeks within the sight
then comes the fury of the lullaby
then comes the fury of the lullaby
heartbeat in a hole
an eyeball loose and wild
dropping memories
out upon the open tiles
and over to the left
there sit the loneless ones
crying slowly and sucking on a gun
do you wear the mark
do you wear the mark
darling darling
do you wear the mark

When the dying calls / Danzig (Danzig 3-how the gods kill)
out
of the night comes
a timeless thing
calm
in simplicity
whispers
soft
a seductive voice
meant for the human ear
down
down
i'm gonna take you
down
that's when the dying calls
if i look
in the dark of the world
if i lose
i don't mind
that's when the dying calls
down
thru the ages
from the dawn of time
roam
thru the world of dreams
up
from the black
of the mississippi mud
calling
out to everything
down
down
down
i'm gonna bring you
down
that's when the dying calls
if i play
in the dark of the world
if i lose
i don't mind
that's when the dying calls

Brand new god / Danzig (Danzig 4)
I am a walking
screaming hell
A thing of torture to behold
This vivisection
splits my soul
A thing of torture to behold
Where you run to
Won't take too long
I've come to get you
Won't take to long
And death should know we
No hesitating
Give up your heart
It ain't so lonely
without your heart
And death should know me
My hands are dirty with his blood
And I can take you there
I've got a brand new god
And if I lay you there
Under my brand new god
Then I will slay you there
For my brand new god
Where are you running to
It didn't take too long
I've come and gone now
You didn't take too long
And death should know me
My hands are dirty with his blood
And death should know me
After all
I prepared you for
The second coming
Of my god

going down to die / Danzig (Danzig 4)
and i know
that it's true
all the fire
has burned thru
well you know i've played
so hard
and the light
grows so dim
and my time's getting slim
all the words
just don't mean much
and i know i'm saying
goodbye
and i know that i'm going
down
to die
in my heart
there's a wind
and it swirls up a din
it's so loud
it drowns my mind
till the coin that i pass
to the ferryman's grasp
let's me leave
my pain
behind
so i part
and i'm oh so cold
and i hope to release
my heart
better leave
while my song still calls
it's the truth
that i'm going
down
to die

Bringer of death / Danzig (Danzig 4)
see the devil kiss the hand of god
see the devil crying tears of flame
see the devil hide the hand of christ
and know the devil is the work of god
and all the devils do the world of god
in his season of the world's demise
upon the wings of the fallen dream
i hear the sound of a bleeding mind
bringer of death
bringer of death
bringer of death
bringer of death
the angels smile is a smile of shame
they bring the tortures that infest the earth
see the warlords of a heavenly rank
and know that war is the will of god
bringer of death
bringer of death
bringer of death
bringer of death

Son of the morning star / Danzig (Danzig 4)

less undone
could i fall deeper down

Road to Albuquerque / de Drie Tieten (Slaan de plank volledig mis)
There's five men in a ramblin' cart
The sherif's posse on horseback
Three old ladies and an old grey fart
Who carrie their lives in a wheatsack
There's mormones away from Salt Lake City
A golddigger from the south
Three nice young ladies they look so pretty
And a man with no teeth in his mouth
Six indians from the blackfoot tribe
Dressed op in the feathers of a turkey
All this and more will pass you by
On the road to Albuquerque
There's longhorns from the windswept planes
Followed by the cowboys that herd them
A farmer with a sack of grain his wife
And eightteen children
There's a band of Irish drunkards
Far away from their green isle
A trail of a hundred wagons
Almost as long as a mile
Six arabs dressed in white
Drag along a camel from turkey
All this and more will pass you by
On the road to Albuquerque
There's swarthy men from the mountains and
Ladies from the east
Their hats as high as fountains
Their beauty is a feast
Outlaws of every stature
Gunmen cover their backs
All the quirks of mother nature
An exhibition on the track
A ragged man from the wild
Chewin' on a piece of beefjerkey
All this and more will pass you by
On the road to Albuquerque
-------------------------------------------------------
B B met S / Drie Tieten (Slaan de plank volledig mis)
Als wij ergens gaan spelen kost een pils al gauw een riks
Dat kan ons weinig schelen, want het bier dat kost ons niks
Maar waar wij slecht van slapen, dat mag je rustig weten
Wij krijgen bijna nooit de kans behoorlijk te gaan eten
Wij eten altijd buitenshuis, Grieks of Italiaans
Mexicaans of Surinaams, Spaans of Marokkaans
Thais, Turks, Indisch, Indiaas, en vaak is het Chinezen
Het haalt het niet bij wat wij vroeger thuis te eten kregen
B. B. met S. gaf moeders ons - zij schepte volle borden
En daarom zijn wij allemaal zo mooi en sterk geworden
Geen Grieks, Chinees of Italiaans, nee ons krijg je niet gek
Wij willen B. B. met S., wij willen bruine bonen met spek!
Straciatella, minestrone, insalata, modomio,
scallopina, vald'ostana, pizza di capri
funghi trifolati, tonno, provolone, gorgonzola
Chianti, classico en spaghetti
Wij eten altijd buitenshuis, Grieks of Italiaans
Mexicaans of Surinaams, Spaans of Marokkaans

B. B. met S. gaf moeders ons - zij schepte volle borden

Job McGregor / Drie Tieten (Slaan de plank volledig mis)
Job McGregor he was known to hit the bottle hard
He used to drink till early morn and sometimes lay some cards
'Twas in the days of Jill McMaggot that she became his wife
That dirty no good Job McGregor drank away his life
That dirty no good Job McGregor drank away his life
Job McGregor had a wife and 27 kids
All the kids they had their fun-the wife she had her fits
of laughter but when Job came home as drunk as 30 men
She kicked that poor old Job McGregor firmly in the chin
She kicked that poor old Job McGregor firmly in the chin
Down in the pub the name of Job McGregor went around
He smelled just like a sailor and he scratched just like a hound
That Job he ain't no good at all that's what that women said
But dirty Job McGregor always landed in their beds
But dirty Job McGregor always landed in their beds
I'm sorry lass I got home so late so please forgive me now
I never let it come this far again so hear my vow
I never drink again my dear as long as I'm around
But next day no-good Job McGregor lightened up the town
But next day no-good Job McGregor lightened up the town
'Twas on a cold december morn that Job was no more seen
His wife started wondering where Job he could have been
They saw him staggering out the pub where he would drink each day
But after that old Job McGregor seemed to've gone astray
But after that old Job McGregor seemed to've gone astray
When Job McGregor he was found he floated on his back
He'd fallen in the river and he had a heartattack
And like a barrel floats downstream he landed in the sea
And dirty no good Job McGregor legend became he
And dirty no good Job McGregor legend became he
So to this day the name of Job McGregor brings a tear
to many an eye and tales are told as many as you hear
So up in heaven or down in hell wherever you may be
Bottoms up for Job McGregor floating in the sea
Bottoms up for Job McGregor floating in the sea

The big black / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
A big black descended inside me.
It does things there which no one sees - neither do I.
Not because it's behind my back,
but it's dark there and black, black, black.
And I am certain, that deep down there it studies
the nature and structure of my white omnipotence
First it monkeys with halfmouldered chests.
Then I feel splinters shooting through my shoulders.
And I am certain, that deep down there it studies
the nature and structure of my white omnipotence
Now it reads old forms.
This is the most annoying, and with reason.
For too many slaves I had, too many slaves I had,
in the tax-deduction season.
And I am certain, that deep down there it studies
the nature and structure of my white omnipotence
Too many slaves I had, too many slaves I had,
Too many slaves I had, too many slaves I had.

What's the story / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
What's the story? Robber shoots
cop. Love & hate, action & death.
Man meets woman. Husband
leaves wife. Love & hate, action
& death. Film is a battlefield:
begin, middle and end. the rest is
ballony. What's the story? it will
play. Shakespeare not England,
Moliere not France. Love & hate,
action & death. If Dickens were
Russian, would Oliver twist?
Love & hate, action & death.

Lamp lady / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
the image: a woman ... helpfull, attending,
and handling with care.
Imagine: a batterfield ... With sparse light,
at lives lost, a red cross to bear.
The lady with the lamp is what
The lady with the lamp is what
They called her;
The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell ...
The medicines, the lady, the cupboard, the lamp.
The lock not the key, a light in the hand. The prescriptions,
the wounded, the look through the glass. Demand not supply,
a pain in the ass
The lady with the lamp is what
The lady with the lamp is what
They called her;
The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell ...
The soldiers in the sickbay, the cupboard for medicines.
Its smashed front window in demand for supply.
The stories from hearsay, the covers of the magazines ...
But the wounded, they knew the papers lied.
The lady with the lamp is what
The lady with the lamp is what
They called her;
The country needed heroes, the papers had to sell ...
The lady without glamour is
the lady with the hammer is what she was ...
The lady with the hammer is what she was ...
-------------------------------------------------------
Everything & me / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
I've got my television, and radio, the record-player, the video, and I
also have my trombone, synthesizer, my drumkit and my stamp-
collection; my garden, my library and my aquariuml my jet-ski, my
waterskis, monoskis, my speedboat, ultra-light plane and hang-
glider; my hedge-clippers, vacuum-cleaner paper-shredder, stone-
grill; answering- and faxmachine and copier and swiss knife; my
motorbike, my guard-dogs, my fret-saw and my racer; my jogging-
suit, my mountainbike with thriatlon-handle-bar, my high-pressure
spray-gun, micro-wave, my welder; my skateboard, rollerskates,
ice-skates, hometrainer, fitness-bank and pinball-machine;snooker-
table, laptop, jukebox, my travel-irons, ohm-meter, jigsaw-puzzles,
pliers-set, dartboard; my telescope and searchlight, my swimming-
pool with 3 meter board, and my bungy jumping outfit, and my deck
of cards, and magazines ... No, I won't get bored that easily,
when I'm on my own.
-------------------------------------------------------
New clear daze / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
Progress's present is a one-way travel, with a dis-
count ticket from a passed station; a trip into the
future with no turning back. We go step by step by
step by step by step by step by step by step ...
-------------------------------------------------------
Oh puckerlips now / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
Distorted culture of these seething times... it cuts to pieces, like a blind-
ing knife. Bewildered, bewildering, this sea of flowing flooding fleeting
words. drowning out the voices hurt. Hurray roars the ship in the street, the
state, the eager hate, the world capsizing in spite, in spate. Too late, she
sinks, she sings ... the crest of the waves in the mouth, on the ridges. She
reaches for infinite inanity, in vanity, where captains sqeal for new ideals.
Illusions delusions disorder, disguised as law and order. Oh dear, another
shape to fear. The loathing-birds, the Choke-chain rats, the tight-seared
ties, their driveling runs ... in the family. Each rascal with respect for
present arms ... Without mercy, in his face, eat shit he can, that gaping
craterjaw off course. Of course, what else you'd think: another ship to sink.
The violence the hatred the greed, a reeking, rattling disease. A raging wound
of pregnant boils it is this limitless calamity. False pearlswines,
waste-watchers, powersick hurdle-razers, monstrosities of misery ... All I
want is to cram & stamp & stuff it, into their ugly barking barfbeaks. The
news filled with their stalking heads, with banquets of voracity, their
delayziness at catastrophes; the yes-but lamentations and power-quest; nodding
yessholes with obscene pretence; that bloodshot sympathy; that creeping
cringing villainy ... The damn result? Look; there it is: one more swine once
again see that grin, as that puckerlip snout begins, and then ... Oh, will
this ever come right again? Distorted culture of these seething times ... cut
to pieces with a blinding knife. Bewildered, bewildering, this sea of flowing
flooding fleeting words, drowning out of the voices heard.

Okinawa, mon amour / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
It rained in Okinawa, long time ago. The rain
sid she was the umbrella. An old Japan proverb perhaps, but not
in Okinawa.
It rained in Okinawa, a while ago. And the clouds,
they were full of anger. Too many people got too
wet, but the most in Okinawa.
It rained in Okinawa, and when it rained it poored.
The weathermen shrug their shoulders. They never
heard of Okinawa. It still rains in Okinawa.
Okinawa.

Dear house / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
Dear house,
Dear house, why do
Dear house, why do we have
Dear house, why do we have mice?
Is it because we have food?
Then what do you do with a mouse in a
breadsack? Scream?
Dear mouse,
Dear mouse, why do
Dear mouse, why do we have
Dear mouse, why do we have men?
Is it because we love food?
Then what do you do with a man in a
bedroom? Scream?
House
Dear house
House
Dear house

Conviction going gaga / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
Dutch village of dog-

God knows! Let them

-------------------------------------------------------
Stupid competitions / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
Sho don't care if she's suitable or not.
She don't wear high heals ... for the feet or the heart.
She won't act weak while she's strong.
She don't care if she's older than young.
She don't count calories like sheep.
She likes to eat whenever she likes to eat.
She won't smile when she's feeling bad;
to be the likeable woman who makes everybody glad.
When instructions for success
are written by sharks
unhappiness and grief is what that living marks
So many women went that route before ...
Stupid competitions
It's not worth living for.
Stop stupid competitions ...
Stop stupid competitions ...
Stop stupid competitions ...
Stop stupid competitions ...

Hickwall / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
Hickwall in his withers,
the old mule winced. Till he
saw it was a hickwall, and
they both began to dance. It
doesn't take one to know
one. It doesn't take one to know anybody. Time flew by for
hours, much to her distress. Till the postman brought a letter,
and proposed a game of chess. It doesn't take one to know
one. It doesn't take one to know anybody. Leaves played with
a windfall, the toys with him alone. Till a straydog came to
see him, and they found themselves a home.
It doesn't take one to know one. It
doesn't take one to know anybody.
I planned a long vacation.
I planned a long vacation.
I planned a long vacation.
Well that's what I tried to do.
-------------------------------------------------------
War O.D. / The Ex (And the weathermen shrug their shoulders)
If you sink in the mud, and you're clutching at
drugs ... Well, the lower your feet, the more you'll
need. Opportunity knocks like a ship on the rocks,
there is no such thing as a war on drugs. Now there's
some confusion about the state of illusion. Yet, one
man's need means another man's greed. Opportunities
rhyme like the tusks of a swine, there is no such thing
as a war on crime. If you believe what you read at the
bottom of the well ... Well, those leaders we'd need ...
there's so much more to tell. Opportunities wait like
crashing a gate, there is no such thing as a war on
hate. Now there's the same old spill, with resolutions
in the end. Such a waste, when you can kill time with a
party instead. Opportunities score like a boxer's
encore, there is no such thing as a war on war.

Leechmaster / Fear factory (Soul of a new machine)
What you feel
Are your needs
All you want
Is to be loved
Pain! ... Love! ... Pain!
Pain! ... Love! ... Pain!
Come and take my pain
And soon you will see
That I will taste your pain
Then both of us can bleed
I loved you once
Now go away
I loved you once
Please stay away
Your emotions
Are out of control
A battered soul
Your love means shit
Pain! ... Love! ... Pain!
Pain! ... Love! ... Pain!
Come and take my pain

Then both of us can bleed
I loved you once
Now go away

Scapegoat / Fear factory (Soul of a new machine)
Judges have decimated
Meanings of our laws
Already guilty?
Something has a flaw
Wrongly accused
Blindly confused

Try to realize
Don't you know
You can't see
To damn blind
To judge me!
Wrongly accused
Blindly confused
Open your eyes
Try to realize
Don't you know
You can't see
To damn blind

Laws are meant to follow
But they've mislead you
Conceal their meanings
So they can suit you
Misjudged by the system
No one ever knows
Adding injury to insult
No one ever knows
No one
No one knows
No one
No one
No one knows ...
Judges have decimated

Animals that die
Animals that cry
Crash test! So what!
Crash test! So what!
Catastrophes
To the animal species
Politically correct
On animals, to dissect?
What does it mean
When animals can dream?
Destroying a pure life
Only for a price
Crash test! So what!
Crash test! So what!
Animals that die
Animals that cry
Testing on their minds
Testing with their lives
Animals that die
Animals that cry
Testing on their minds
Testing with their lives
Crash! Test!
Animals that die

Testing on their minds
Testing with their lives
Some men believe
Animals aren't seen

Testing with their lives
You can't believe
Not even percieve
Animals that die
Animals that cry
Crash test! So what!
Crash test! So what!
Crash!

Flesh hold / Fear factory (Soul of a new machine)
Breaking out
This stifled room
A jail cell, a steel tomb
To see the light
My mere existence
God's kill in sight
Confined in madness
Jurors hate criminal minds
They're making dates for
Killing time
Breaking out
This tifled room
A jail cell, a steel tomb
One has to fight
For dissension
God's kill in sight
Confined in madness
Wasted life, tasted
Wasted life, tasted
Wasted life, tasted
Wasted life, tasted
Kill me!
Kill me!
Kill me!
Kill me!
So let me die
So let me die
Wasted life, tasted
Wasted life, tasted
One has to fight
For dissension
God's kill in sight
Confined in madness
Jurors hate criminal minds
They're making dates for
Killing time

Cry, cry, cry, cry
Wires around your arms
Like wires around
Your head
A crucifix of me
Above your bed
I've seen your wounds
That you can't hide
You bleed well
When I cry
Cry, cry, cry
Scumgrief, Scumgrief
Scumgrief, Scumgrief
Smell the rats of deviance
Coursing through
Your veins
Rotting faith in yourself
Confined alone to decay
I've seen your wounds
That you can't hide
You bleed well
With the rat inside
With the rat inside
Cry, cry, cry
Scumgrief, Scumgrief
Scumgrief, Scumgrief

Manipulation / Fear factory (Soul of a new machine)
Your conniving words
Are childishly insane
To get what you want
You'll say anything
In your mind
You lust to control me
You lust
For control
Mold me, fold me
Mold me, fold me
My pain is your pleasure
My agony excites you
Desperate for a change
But change comes within
I'm not staying
Not around you
I'm stronger than you think
Much stronger than you
Mold me, fold me
Mold me, fold me
Molding and folding
Lusting for control
Molding and folding
Lusting for control
Longing to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams
Dying to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams
Molding and folding
Lusting for control
Hatred is a tool
Thoughtlessly you use
Ruin an only friend
With misleading rules
Contain your own rage
Give yourself praise
'Cause you have no shame
With your callous game
Mold me, fold me
Mold me, fold me

Demanufacture / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
Desensitized by the values of life
Maligned and despaired by government lies
Revenge is so strong
I taste it on my tongue
My gun will be
Your angel of mercy
Dislocated by the eyes of disdain
Abused beyond recognition
I can't cope with
The madness abounding
Blasts in my head
Of gunfire resounding
Firing relentless
Killing the senses
I've got no more goddamn regrets
I've got no more goddamn respect
I am the thorn
In your eye
Am the thorn
In your eye (2X)
Repeat second verse
I've got no more goddamn regrets
I've got no more goddamn respect (3X)

Burn your fuse to detonate

Open minds will dominate
Burn your fuse to detonate

Zero signal / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
So withdrawn and feeling numb
Watching life come all undone
Growing fear, a human grace
A drowning mind in a dark embrace
My life
A disarray
And I
Fade away
I am down on my knees
Praying beyond belief
The silence deafenes my ears
And welds the shackles
Onto my fears
Lost
All faith
Lost
All trust
Lost
All faith
Lost
All trust
So withdrawn and feeling numb
Watching life come all undone
My life
A disarray
And I
Fade away
I am down on my knees
Praying beyond belief
The silence deafenes my ears
And welds the shackles
Onto my fears
I have lost all faith
I have lost all trust
A sordid mesh turning to dust
A sordid mesh turning to dust
I am lost
I am so numb
I am so numb ...

Replica / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
There is no love
I am a duplication
Innocently
I was conceived
So violently
There was no love
There was no love for me
There was only hatred
I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate
Everyday I feel anonymous hate
Forever in the shadow of disgrace
I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate
Filled with pain
A bruised and darkened soul
Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery
I don't want to live that way
I don't want to live that way
There is no love
Everyday I feel anonymous hate
Forever in the shadow of disgrace
I am rape

Spare me from the
Life that's full of misery

Body hammer / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
I clinch my teath and realize
My world is so near it's demise
A dying sun in a poisonous sky
Stinging my eyes
Burning with contempt and conflict
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
I clench my fist and visualize
The blood that is spilled is our own
I open wide my bloodshot eyes
Count the dead
A result of dysfunction
Chorus:
As of now
I am a tool
Of severe impact
Hammer down
Cause and effect
And create a new world
Pound, drive, swing, strike
Break down, smash down
Pound and drive, swing and strike
Break it down

I am a tool ...
I am a tool to break down
Break it down and smash it all away

Flashpoint / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
I lied
Right to your face
And I'll burn
Eternally in flames
In flames ...
Instinct
Has failed me now
Enslaved
By my deceit
Lies sink in like gasoline
Saturates my body
One last spark of dishonesty
And that will be the death of me
Damned
In flames
Damned
In flames (2X)
Lies engulf me
Lies they burn me
Lies they purge me
Lies they free me
Lies sink in like gasoline
Saturates my body
One last spark of dishonesty
And that will be the death of me

Damned
In flames (2X)

H-K (Hunter - Killer) / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
The concious man is dead
And I buried him
Beneath this scarred tissue
Armored skeleton
The machine is now alive
Desensitized with open eyes
Powered by an angry mind
And is refueled by those I despise
I've become what they detest
A delinquent survivalist
Without fear and no regrets
They fucking say
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
I must steal
To survive
I must kill
To moralize
Leaving people victimized
Fuels my angst inside
I'm your judge
And your jury
You don't get
An attorney
With my verdict
Of guilty
An execution in fury
The machine is now alive
To wreak havoc in your lives
There's no use to hold me back
I am ready to attack
Repeat second verse
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
I am a criminal
I am a criminal ...
-------------------------------------------------------
Pisschrist / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
Where are we now?
When we are blind
Abandoned faith
You left behind
Were you betrayed?
Or did you lie?
Our common fate
Our common demise
Where is the son?
To light the way
Along the path
Of our dismay
Look to the sky
An judgement day
A human God
That was man-made
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
And so we rise
Just to fall down
In reality
You're never found
I'm reaching out
With sealed eyes
I grab for light
Visions decried
Repeat fourth verse
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
So we lie
Face down, arms out
Nailed to the cross of doubt
Blood runs like rain
Drowning for this world in vain
Crown of black thorns
Human skin, ripped and torn
Crown of black thorns
Human skin, ripped and torn
Where is your saviour now?
Where is your saviour now?
Where is your saviour now?
Where is your saviour now? ...

A therapy for pain / Fear factory (Demanufacture)
I welcome death with open arms
Her soft breath and simple charm
Wandering through memories
Takes my hand for me to see
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Echoes of innocence
Are my thoughts into dissent
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
When we finally reach the end
She lets go of my hand
Waking into realms of light
There will be no death tonight
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard
Tried so hard ...
-------------------------------------------------------
On a wave / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
And there is nothing I won't save today
I have an injunction, don't look surprised
Time to get even in this unproved life
Questions all over the years I live
Time for some answers, beware of my drift
So on, be true, denial won't work
And there is nothing you can't do
A feast arises, be glad you're invited
The future has no past, pass the wine
All those worries about all those dreams
All those nights when I screamed
Captured in security, a babbeling brook
Lets drop a bomb and act like fools
But a true feast arises when you're done
And you're done when prospects are gone
Cause when you're down in the mud cause
Dreams won't come, pleasure is gone
What did you do wrong
And you're trying to gain the fortune
And fame of the ones you admire, don't
Try to remain, security is just a game
-------------------------------------------------------
The blue vessel / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
Its quest around the sun
Mankind on the run
Overwhelming indifference
Destruction fills my eyes
Blue and full of life
Wandering through time
Being outer space
It looks ya right in the face
The vessel on it's way
Saving the grace
Bright gentle face
A life saving case
Propulsion a mystery
Science, the missing link
But damage they cause
By inventing machinery
Inventing my greatest fear
There's so much to discover
Blaming each other tomorrow
Hurting each other today
Fading away
Denying the facts
Turning the vessel into a wreck
Blowing prospects away
Not trying to save the day
Tomorrow fading away
Following time makes me afraid
-------------------------------------------------------
Her last flight / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
Can't do that, please forget
The things I need, there's more than only to breath
Twisted and dreams, crying and defeat
Love and fear, burried beneath those facts
Which controle, it's all there
Sent me grief, sent me joy
To become myself, trying to gather the truth
Eternal faith, blame myself
Pleasing the one, from inside
Cause there is where it's at, take my breath
Wet my eyes, turn me inside out and never lie
And if you cry, I'll take the side
That needs in the first place
Be my guest, I will not push
I will not try to take more than you want
Cause what would you have done if the truth
Was done wrong
And please forget, we can't have those things
And please forget, we'll act like we've just met
And please forget, we can do it all over again
Please forget we'll act like we've just met
I don't wanna do it right
Wonder about her last flight
-------------------------------------------------------
The skypeople / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
Confidence and hope
I'm looking forward to future plans
Not able to realize yet
Makes me wanna take a rope
Or swallow some pills any time
But lets have a look
In the distance I see light
Gives me satisfaction
Keeps me hangin' on
When stability is gone
I take my own life
I make the descisions
I have a goal
That's worth living
Confidence in what I do
Realizing my hope
That's the bright side I'm looking for
But I know how to take it
In times when my life looks shatered
And I'm not feeling to well
Confused when I think
Which direction not for sure
Dreams far away
Time doesn't seem to go on
-------------------------------------------------------
Like fountains / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
A scar inside
For such a long time
I'll do it all over again
Can't face the wounds
Have to go on
Stop remembering
Time by time shades reach the surface
A mental breakdown, they provide
Accept, clear up, clean up, go on
And soon I'll show some pride
There's enough to go on further
Don't force to forget
Till the day I'm done with the shades
The rage I create towards myself, the hate
To claim the blame that I feel
To damage the dreams I need
Facing uncertainty
Facing the truth
Got to get on through
Blaming myself
Blame at last
... And please forget
-------------------------------------------------------
Proof / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
Denial
The first ...
Sweeter than honey
The second time
What's left
No time
A pleasant surprise
All the time
Proof
Always answers
Sharing feelings
With me
I would like to clear it up for once
Please
Proof
Safety at last
Gone
And I think all the time
About the dawn and the night
All the answers
The wrong and right
When we kiss, when we fight
And love in it's most natural way
All the time
All of my life
Till the fire's burned down again
Proof
It's all gone, away
-------------------------------------------------------
Heartbeat amplifier / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
That poem is not funny
You're just laughing about those words
That descibe my feelings, when I am hurt
But I just couldn't resist
To show you those lines
I just gave you a diamond
And you act like that's a crime
And I just got down in my soul
Down on my knees
Give me permission to bleed
That look on your face makes it all clear
That my fear is not worth the tears
You have permission to go on and die on the
streets where I find the words to ease my
mind that bleeds
I curse the damned who just laugh in your face
Give me permission to rearrange
Just laugh in your face
Drawing blood from people
People that are in pain
I never tried to gain the soul from the frame
-------------------------------------------------------
A passage to desire / The Gathering (Almost a dance)
I feel like I am hurt
Can't you see
I try to express
But I act like you're a stranger to me
I want to share, but I don't know how
My eyes can't speak
And my mouth won't write it down
And there's so much confusion
As I want to clear it up
Cause when I start, suddenly,
The end has begun
Maybe if I touch, you will feel
What I mean but you're acting strange
Cause my eyes look differently
Caught by death, I do not hope
That my release is described long ago
I try to get out
To jump at once in a place
Where it's all right or wrong
And I won't be afraid
I open myself for you
And all those others
Who cared when times where rough for me
-------------------------------------------------------
Strange machines / The Gathering (Mandylion)
It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going through the corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch world war II and Cleopatra
Flying . . .
Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want it to do
Russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Cershwin I think that would be o.k.
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And see it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise. If he ever did
Flying . . .
I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch renaissance and Chaka Khan
Flying . . .
-------------------------------------------------------
Eleanor / The Gathering (Mandylion)
Underneath the mask you've buried yourself into
It's coal black
I am tired of the gulping that you do
Every day a new face
What if I unscrew
Your own identity
Wouldn't you guess there's nothing left of you?
The quicksand of life drags us
Down into the circle
One day, we might not catch you
I feel sorry for what you try to do
Breaking others down. To try and to pursue
Your own selfish interests
I am starting to get sick of you
Whatever happened ever since you left
You make yourself and me look like fools
-------------------------------------------------------
In motion # 1 / The Gathering (Mandylion)
Kill me with your thoughts
Use your mind
Hand me over to this world
Into death . . .
Make me try in vain
Leave one tear
Touch my face with your sigh
Leave me against the stream
One hundred worlds will see me
Passing by . . .
-------------------------------------------------------
Leaves / The Gathering (Mandylion)
I close your eyes with my mouth
Now you don't see anything
But you feel my breath all over
I can feel you too
Although I don't really know you
I don't really care
Cry with me. Make my day
Tomorrow all will be gone
All the sweetness and all the fun
No. I don't wanna know . . .
Although I don't really know you
I don't really care
That you're gone I don't know
How to really feel inside
Baring the hope to see you again
Guess I never will
Now that I do really know you
Yes. I really care!
-------------------------------------------------------
Fear the sea / The Gathering (Mandylion)
Water travels by itself
Inspires us to fear the sea
When it affects our state of mind
We drown in our make believe
Those little drops that cover two thirds
Eventually there will be nothing left
But water. This water
It rules but even so
It tears apart around us
Throws itself high up in the sky
Never will be able to tame
-------------------------------------------------------
Sand and mercury / The Gathering (Mandylion)
My dear. Don't leave me now
Close at the edge of my end
All this time you have been my friend
Don't go. Stay for a while
My dear. You're losing me now
This will be my last hour
Hear my voice. See my face
See how sick I am
How I long for your embrace
-------------------------------------------------------
In motion # 2 / The Gathering (Mandylion)
I see him turn away
Although my eyes are shut with emptiness
And again the rain falls down
Together with me
This blood in my body runs for you
Drink my tears as I cry
My heart and my mind crave for you
Drink my tears as I cry
It is sad how the rain falls down
I see you walk away
Falling down I cry and scream your name
And again the rain falls down
Together with me
My ache is yours as I am
Drink my tears as I cry
-------------------------------------------------------
Armatage shanks / Green day (Insomniac)
Stranded ... lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
Branded ... Maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone yself
I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected the rejected
I prefected the science of the idiot
No meaning ... no healing
Self loathing freak and introverted
Deviot
-------------------------------------------------------
Brat / Green day (Insomniac)
Mom and dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for mom and dad to die
And get my inheritance
Now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last
Crows feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I'm a snot nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good
-------------------------------------------------------
Stuck with me / Green day (Insomniac)
I'm not past of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subservient to you I'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
Cast out ... buried in a hole
Struck down ... forcing me to fall
Destroyed ... giving up the fight
I know I'm not alright
What's my price and will you pay it
If it's alright?
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
'Cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell
-------------------------------------------------------
Geek stink breath / Green day (Insomniac)
I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self-destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with
Weth amphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
Filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line
I'm on a mission
I got no decision like a cripple
Running the rat race
Wish in one hand and shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
-------------------------------------------------------
Stuart and the ave. / Green day (Insomniac)
Standing on the corner of
Stuart and the ave.Ripping up my transfer
And a photograph of you
You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existence
As I stand laughing on the corner of insignificance
Destiny is dead
In the hands of bad luck
Before it might have made some sense
But now it's all fucked up
Seasons change as well as minds
And I'm a two-faced clown
You're mommy's little nightmare
Driving daddy's car around
I'm beat down and half brain dead
The long lost king of fools
I may be dumb
But I'm not stupid enough to stay with you
-------------------------------------------------------
86 / Green day (Insomniac)
What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep with your identity
So stnd aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the ass
There's no return from 86
Don't even try
Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket and
Quickly take the last train
Out of town
-------------------------------------------------------
Panic song / Green day (Insomniac)
Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Blessing down these thoughts of
Anguish ... mass confusion
The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with ... I don't care
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate
-------------------------------------------------------
No pride / Green day (Insomniac)
I'm just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope
I've panhandled for life because
I'm not affraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regret
You better swallow your pride
Or you're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
Because they turn to shit
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
I know I'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or a bullet in my face
To hell with unity
Separation's gonna kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall
-------------------------------------------------------
Brain stew / Green day (Insomniac)
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own ... here we go
My eyes feel like they're going to bleed
Dried up and bulging out of my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own ... here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense dulled
Passed the point of delirium
On my own ... here we go
-------------------------------------------------------
Jaded / Green day (Insomniac)
Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank
Always move forward
Going "straight" will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibrium
Count down from 9 to 5
Hooray! We're gonna die!
Blessed into our extinction
-------------------------------------------------------
Westbound sign / Green day (Insomniac)
Boxed upAll of her favorite things
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Big plans and leaving friends and
A westbound sign
Weighed out
Her choices on a scale
Prevailing nothing made sense
Just transportation and a
Blank decision ... she's taking
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rear view mirror
Heading westward on
Strung out
On confusion road
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought
And she's determined ... She's taking off
Is it salvation?
Or an escape from discontent?
Will she find her name
In the California cement?
Punched out of the grind
That punched her one too many times ...
Is tragedy 2000 miles away?
She's taking off
-------------------------------------------------------
Tight wad hill / Green day (Insomniac)
Cheapskate on the hill
A thrill seaker making deals
Sugar city urchin wasting time
Town of lunatics
Begging for another fix
Turning tricks for speedballs
One more night
Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty handed
Bumming a ride
Burning daylight
Last up at dawn ... tight wad hill
Drugstore hooligan
Aonther white trash mannequin
On display to rot up on the hill
Living out a lie
But having the time of his life
Hating every minute of his existance
-------------------------------------------------------
Walking contradiction / Green day (Insomniac)
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I'm a victim of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right
-------------------------------------------------------
Bab's Uvula who? / Green day (Insomniac)
I've got a knack for fucking everything up
My temper flies and I get myself all wound up
My fuse is short and my blood pressure is high
I lose control and I get myself all wound up
Tension mounts and I fly off the wall
I self-destruct and I get myself all wound up
Petulance and irritation sets in
I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up
Chip on my shoulder and a leach on my back
Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up
Killed my composure and it will never come back
Loss of control and I get myself all wound up
Blown out of proportion again
My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up
Spontaneuos combustion
Panic attack
I slipped a gear and I get myself all wound up
-------------------------------------------------------
Burnout / Green day (Dookie)
I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and
growing bored
In my smoked out boring room
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the
street tonight
To drive along these shit
town lights
I'm not growing up, I'm
just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the
dead
Apathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a
soggy dream
So close to drowning but
I don't mind
I've lived in this mental cave
Throw emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them
anyway
-------------------------------------------------------
Having a blast / Green day (Dookie)
I'm taking all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to
my spine
Nothing's gonna change
my mind
I won't listen to anyone's
last words
There's nothing left for you
to say
Soon you'll be dead
anyway
No one is getting out alive
This time I've lost my
mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times
You spent and what they've
meant
To me it's nothing
I'm losing all my happiness
The happiness you pinned on my
Lonelyness still comforts me
My anger dwells inside of me
I'm taking it all out on you
and all the shit you put
me through
Do you ever think back to
another time?
Did it bring you so down that
you thought you lost
your mind ?
Do you ever want to lead a
long trail of destruction
and mow down any bullshit
that confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the
small things in your head
To take one problem that
adds up to nothing
-------------------------------------------------------
Chump / Green day (Dookie)
I don't know you
But I think I hate you
You're the reason for
my misery
Strange how you've become
my biggest enemy
And I've never ever seen
your face
Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent
mind
A circumstance that doesn't
make much sense
Or maybe I'm just bumb
You're the cloud haning out
over my head
Hail comes crashing down
wetting my face
Magic man, egocentric
plastic man
Yet you still got one over
on me
-------------------------------------------------------
Longview / Green day (Dookie)
Sit around and watch the
tube but, nothing on
Change the channels for
an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for
a bit
I'm sick of all the same
old shit
In a house with unlocked
doors
And I'm fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damned bored I'm
going blind
And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat
and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do
it by myself
I'm feeling like a
dog in heat
Barred indoors from the
summer street
I locked the doors to
my own cell
And I lost the key
I got no motivation
Where is my motivation
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration
Sit around and watch the
phone, but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me
what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the
one's she got
When masturbation's lost
it's fun
You're fucking breaking
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damned bored I'm
going blind
And lonelyness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say, "Quit or I'll
go blind"
But it's just a myth
-------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to paradise / Green day (Dookie)
Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left
me trembling
Cause now it seems that I
am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay atention to the cracked
streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call
my home
Welcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the
station
Another urchin snaps and
left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why
I'm still here
For some strange reason
it's now
Feeling like I'm home
And I'm never gonna go
Dear mother, can you hear
me laughing
It's been six whole months
since
I have left your home
It makes me wonder why
I'm still here
For some strange reason
it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
-------------------------------------------------------
Pulling teeth / Green day (Dookie)
I'm all busted up
Broken bones & nasty cuts
Accidents will happen
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
Making sure I'm on
my knees
After all she's the one
who put me in this state
Is she ultra-violent?
Is she disturbed?
I better tell her I love her
Before she does it all over
again
Oh god, she's killing me!!!
For now I'll lie around
Hell, that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love
is true
Looking out my window for
Someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm
locked in here
All I do is cry
-------------------------------------------------------
Basket case / Green day (Dookie)
Do you have the
time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself
the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays
tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
And quit my whining cause
it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself
the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays
tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned
Grasping to control
So you better hold on
Sometimes I give myself
the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays
tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned
-------------------------------------------------------
She / Green day (Dookie)
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating
through her mind
Waiting for a sign to smash
the silence with the
brick of self control
Are you locked up in a world
That's been planned out
for you?
Are you feeling like a
social fool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears
bleed
I'm taking heed just for
you
She's figured out all her doubts
Were someone else's point of
view
Waking up this time to smash
the silence with the brick
of self control
-------------------------------------------------------
Sassafras roots / Green day (Dookie)
Roaming 'round your house
Wasting your time
No obligation, just
Wasting your time
So why are you alone?
Wasting your time
When you could be with me
Wasting your time
I'm a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time
too?
Warding off regrets
Wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes
Wasting your time
I'm just a parasite
Wasting your time
Applying myself to
Wasting your time
-------------------------------------------------------
When I come around / Green day (Dookie)
I heard you crying loud
all the way across town
You've been searching for
that someone and it's me
out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling
sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the
moment
Sleazin' my back yard so
don't get so uptight you
been thinking about
ditching me
No time to search the world
around
Cause you'll know where I'll
be found
When I come around
I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so
I don't need no accuser
to slag me down because I
know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your
self doubt means nothing
was ever there
You can't go forcing something
if it's just not right
-------------------------------------------------------
Coming clean / Green day (Dookie)
Seventeen and strung out
on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of
disillusion
I found out what it takes
to be a man
Mom and dad will never
understand
Secrets collecting dust
but never forget
Skeletons came to
life in my closet
I found out what it takes
to be a man
Mom and dad will never
understand
What's happening to me
Seventeen and coming clean
for the first time
I finally figured out myself
for the first time
I found out what it takes
to be a man
Mom and dad will never
understand
What's happened to me
-------------------------------------------------------
Emenius sleepus / Green day (Dookie)
I saw my friend the other day
and I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't that long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and
I wanna go home
How have I been, how have
you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all
your time
And what went wrong
I knew you back when
And you ... you knew me
And now I think you're
sick
I wanna go home
Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you were'nt
right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hatefull
fight?
And you know it's true
-------------------------------------------------------
In the end / Green day (Dookie)
All brawn and no brains
And all those nice things
You finally got what you want
Someone to look good with
And light your cigarette
Is this what you really want?
I figured out what you're
all about
And I don't think I like
what I see
Sooooo ...
I hope I won't be there
In the end if you come
around
How long will he last
Before he's a creep in
the past
And you're alone once again?
Will you pop up again and
be my "special friend"
'till the end?
And when will that be?
-------------------------------------------------------
F.O.D. / Green day (Dookie)
Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some
time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me
Let's nuke the bridge we
torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all
to hell
I've had this burning in my
guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to
say
Stuck down in a rut of
dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
it's real and it's been fun
But was it all real fun
-------------------------------------------------------

Three little pigs / Green jelly (Cereal killer)
Why don't you sit right back
And I, I may tell you a tale
A tale of three little pigs
and a BIG BAD WOLF
Well the first little piggie well he was kind of hicky
Spend most of his day just a dreamin' of the city
And then one day he bought a guitar
He moved to Hollywood to become a star
Living on the farm he knew nothing of the city
Built his house out of straw what a pitty
Then one day, jammin' on some cords
Along came the wolf, knockin' on his door
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Well I'm huffin' I'm puffin' I'll blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' and a puffin' and I'll blow your house in
Well the second little piggy well he was kind of st...
Spend most of his day just a gun just smokin'
Huffin' and a puffin' down on Venice beach
Getting paid money for religious speach
Built his shelter from what he garbage-picked
Mostly made of old cans and sticks
Then one day he was cranking on at marly
Along came the wolf on his big bad Harley
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Well I'm huffin' I'm puffin' I'll blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' and a puffin' and I'll blow your house in
Well the third little piggy the grade A student
His daddy was a rockstar named Big Nuched
Earned his masters degree from Harvard college
Built his house from his architect-knowledge
A tri-level mansion, Hollywood hills
Daddy's rockstared 'em paid for the bills
Then one day came the old house-smasher
The big bad wolf, the little piggy slasher
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Well I'm huffin' I'm puffin' I'll blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' and a puffin' and I'll blow your house in
Well the big bad wolf well he huffed and he puffed all that he
could
@@ the little piggy's house stood
It's made out of concrete the little piggy shouted
The wolf just growled as he powded
So they called 911 as any piggy would
They send out RAMBO, just as fast as they could
'Yo, Wolfface, I'm your worst nightmare. Your ass is mine.'
Well the wolf fell dead as you can plainly see
And that's the end of the story, for you and me
You still gotta listen, you just may
Here the big wolf the little piggy's say
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Little pig, little pig, let me in
Not for the hair on my chinny ch.. chin
Well I'm huffin' I'm puffin' I'll blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' puffin' blow your house in
Huffin' and a puffin' and I'll blow your house in
Huffin' and a puffin' and I'll blow your house in
Huffin' and a puffin' and I'll blow your house in
Huffin' and a puffin' and I'll blow your house in
And the moral of this story is :
That men with no talent can easily amuse idiots with a stupid
puppet-show

Gorrlaus / Hedningarna (Tra)
Lugna dig, du hingst med lodder i manen
lugna dig och jamna pa takten
Droj med att trottna
med flit hall dig vaken till morgonen
Till sen natten skulle jag rida
villigt gripande dig i manen
Manen lyser i kopparfarg
bildande skuggor pa din sida
Hettan skimrar, laren trycker
pa sidorna av min silverspringare
Svetten rinner pa kopperhingsten
hedjlost strommar skummet
Du skulle fora mig in i naten, kopparhingst,
spring med angande andedrakt
Droj med att trottna,
med flit hall dig vaken till morgonen!

Character / Pop, Iggy (American Caesar)
Well,
I'll tell you
One good thing at least about some
Of these jungles was
They had some character
They may have driven me nuts
Sometimes & screwed up
But at least when they played
They damn guitar they'd play it
Like they meant it -
These white bread boys nowadays
Knowin' all the score
Don't even know how to puke
-------------------------------------------------------
Wild america / Pop, Iggy (American Caesar)
One night out in L.A.
I met a Mexicana
With a butchy girlfriend
Who I thought was a man
They took me to the alley
To have a little chat
People lined the corners
Doin' this and that
In wild america
Now I'm in a black car
With my Mexicana
She's got methedrine but
I want mariuana
I don't want to drive home
Not in my condition
So I ask my friend Matt
To handle the ignition
In wild america
Exterminate the brutes
(Live interview)
ROLLINS Yeah
IGGY Yeah
ROLLINS Yeah
IGGY Yeah
IGGY Well I mean I like it here
IGGY Do you have anything
you'd like to say to America?
ROLLINS I'd just like to say at this point
that I'm a 24 hour, 7 day a weak, 365 day a
year American
I was glad that Debbie
Had a sense of humor
This time of the morning
I tend to get gloomy
She laughed and said 'Iggy,
you have got a biggy!'
I had no reply
So I just closed my eyes
In wild america
Exterminate the brutes
They're goin' wild
Goin' wild
They're goin' wild
They're goin' wild baby
They got all kinds of fuckin' stuff
They got everything you could imagine
They're so god damned spoiled
They're poisoned inside
They judge a man by what he's got
And they wanta have more and more
More power
More freedom
Taller kids
Longer lives
Everything
Bigger houses
Slaves
Woa

Mixin' the colors / Pop, Iggy (American Caesar)
All across the continents
Everywhere a soul is send
A new mix of the races is takin' place
It's what Hitler didn't like
And it makes a pretty sight
Just look at what you see on
Your MTV
Out on the edges they're
Mixin' the colors
Some they don't like it
But me I don't mind
In every city they're
Mixin' the colors
Different shades for the
Whole countryside
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
Mixin'
They're mixin'
On the edges of the line
There's a different kind of kind
No one seems to claim for
The race war games
'Cause you don't have to choose sides
It just crucifies your mind
There's a hundred million ways
To live your life for yourself
Out on the edges they're mixin' the colors
Some they don't like it but me I don't mind
In every city they're mixin' the colors
Different shades for the whole
Countryside
I like the kids with the opened-up faces
I like the kids with the ways of their own
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
Mixin' the colors
Now a language that sounds new
Comes a-driftin' next to you
And the music that you hear is changin' too
Cuz they're mixin' the colors
Baby the colors

Wait / K's choice (Paradise in me)
I hold it, I fold it
I throw it on the floor
I wrote it, but maybe I'm afraid
that you'll be bored
It's very real and true and sad
and hopeful just like me
It's one of those things I'll never tell
I'll carve it in a tree
I follow you, I watch you
I thank God you're in my class
I picture us in the schoolbus
and we're holding each others' hands
I need a plan for you to fall
in love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait
I never wear my glasses when
I know that you can see me
You ac as if I'm not around
but deep down you must need me
I draw you, every single
feature in my head
I try to do my homework
but I dream of you instead
I need a plan for you to fall
in love with me and then
I'll make you marry me, I'll wait
-------------------------------------------------------
Paradise in me / K's choice (Paradise in me)
Consuming far too much
Ignoring the will to touch
the ones who don't have food at all...
I'm breathing
I'm wondering how
we watch Wheel of Fortune now
I close my eyes and try to see
a piece of paradise in me
Beat me up
and smash my brand new TV
to help me look for
a little piece of paradise in me
I'm dancing, I'm writing songs
about what bothers me the most
about those who can't dance at all
I'm only jumping
I'm only freaking out
and I wonder what it's all about
to close my eyes and finally see
a piece of paradise in me
Beat me up
and smash my brand new TV
to help me look for
a little piece of paradise in me
a little piece of paradise in me
-------------------------------------------------------
My record company / K's choice (Paradise in me)
Beware, beware
they're on their way
They're getting closer every day
but I'm prepared
I'm sure some common sense will
blow them all away
They like you band
they shake your hand
they smell like food that has gone bad
Today it's you
today will pass
I'm so sick of all this trash...
(Don't take it personally, oh, no ...)
And sometimes in the middle of
the roaches' nest
you find a little soul
that understands the content of a song, so
(Don't take it personally, oh, no ...)
-------------------------------------------------------
Song for Catherine / K's choice (Paradise in me)
In your dreams, in your bed
in everyone and in your head
on the wall, it ain't white
in every letter that you write
in the way people talk
in the shape of stones and rocks
he's your hero, he's your God
he listens to this song and nods
In a voice, in a sound
when you're happy, when you're down
it will pass, things will change
but you don't want to hear that
in the scent of the air
on the clothes that people wear
you feel love, so does he
and he's telling you, "I'm here"
he's here
-------------------------------------------------------
To this day / K's choice (Paradise in me)
I'm waiting for the bus to come
I'm lying on a bench
thinking of a book I read
and wondering what it meant
I hear footsteps coming closer
it's an ordinary man
He comes up to me, shakes my hand
and asks me who I am
I'm paralyzed, I can't talk or move
what could I say
and before I have the chance to think
I tell this man my name
He smiles and looks away
but still I don't know the answer to this day
-------------------------------------------------------
Iron flower / K's choice (Paradise in me)
Thunder, please explain
why you ask me how I am, I'm fine, I
wonder is it sane
to pierce purpleeyeballs made of china
I love you like a son, like a game I have won
like a toothbrush used for the Eiffel Tower
my youth, it is gone, it's a boot stuck in the ground
is there truth to be found in an iron flower
Mmm I will try hard to be a spark of power
I will, I'll never be your iron flower
Stone please explain
why your silence makes more Noise than thunder
bones, is it sane
to obey me and the flesh you're under
your words are soon gone and it hurts, I have none
take a jump from your pretty linguistic tower
the goal of speach, so obnoxious to reach
only one thing to do, melt your iron flower
-------------------------------------------------------
White kite fauna / K's choice (Paradise in me)
In a dark well
late at night
children crying, they've lost their Kite
they're left with nothing but
giant lizards
eating deer
growing appetite as they notice that
treir prey's still breathing
lizards' eyes reflection
shows a glimpse of imperfection
through the spastic sighs of innocence
of deer's blood and it's cruel attraction
white kite fauna, do you feel
white kite fauna, it is real...
in a dark well
I found a kite
bloodstained, so beautifull
recognizable
I close my eyes and
I percieve
marble Emptiness
looking for my soul to bless
lizard's eyes...
white kite fauna, do you feel
white kite fauna, it is real
white kite fauna, do you feel
white kite fauna, will it heal
in a dark well
late at night
I am crying
I've lost my Kite
left with nothing
-------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Freeze / K's choice (Paradise in me)
I'm about to tell you about a man I've known
since I've been able to open a refridgerator
I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
could you freeze me in and defrost me when it's over
Mr. Freeze, I feel your chill
as I inhale the urge to kill all my emotions
I ask you please, but all you do is make me sneeze
Mr. Freeze
I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
whose shadow it is that appears when I bend over
It's Mr. Freeze, I hear no sound
as I focus oin the amount of my emotions
I ask you please, take the lead or let me bleed
Mr. Freeze
my teperature is really low now; you're here
but you're not welcome ny longer
I will release Mr. Freeze
no bangs, no yells, merely the sea
is Mr. Freeze inside of me...
I am wondering today in the sun on a boat to Dover
how it comes that I feel so high when I ought to feel lower
-------------------------------------------------------
Not an addict / K's choice (Paradise in me)
Breathe it in and breathe it out
and pass it on, it's almost out
We're so creative, so much more
we're high above but on the floor
It's not a habbit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
The deeper you stick it in your vein
the deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so hot
It's not a habbit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
(nothing means a thing to me)
It's not a habbit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
Free me, leave me
watch me as I'm going down
Free me, see me
look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling...
It's not a habbit, it's cool, I feel...
It's not a habbit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
I'm not an addict...
-------------------------------------------------------
A sound that only you can hear / K's choice (Paradise in me)
the thought of you and me and me and you
it's clear, it's blurry
your head, my mind, your mind, my head, as one
it's real, the foolish worry
I feel you and you feel me as I feel you
it's good, it's scary
the speed, the heat, it's deep, and steep
it's light but hard to carry
listen when I'm slinet there's a
SOUND that only you can hear
listen when it's quiet I know
you can hear it, cover up your ears
COVER UP YOUR EARS
your hands, my mouth, your mouth, my hands
the weight of what we're thinking
no words, the air we breathe
it's not liquid, but we're drinking
listen when I'm slinet there's a
SOUND that only you can hear
listen when it's quiet I know
you can hear it, cover up your ears
COVER UP YOUR EARS

Davidian / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
Blind man ask me forgiveness
I won't deny myself
Disrespect you have given
Your suffering's my welth
I feed off pain force fed to love it
And now I swallow whole
I'll never live in the past
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Burn my fist to the concrete
My fear is my strength
Power rage unbound because
Been pounded by the streets
Cyanide blood burns down the skyline
Hatred is purity
The bullet connects at last
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Lead : Robb / Logan
Scarred
Pour the salt in the wound
Unscarred

Old / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
I am the man that defends all things profane
6000 years is the time that I shall reign
And with a grin drank the blood of holy swine
Impurity made the blood turn into wine
Old man, dead hand
If only in their insanity
The lie feeds off their greed
Jesus wept
I am the pain that feeds off your weaknesses
A sickerling born of hate not of the blessed
And with that time I will crush all things you prey
Destroying all from the known to be arcane
Old man, dead hand
If only in their insanity
The lie feeds off their greed
Jesus wept
Burn my eyes and try to blind me
Bury me so they won't find me
Try to suck my power empty
Got no crown of thorns on me
So burn my eyes and try to blind
Bury me so they won't find
Try to suck my power dry
You got no crown of thorns on me
Old man, dead hand
If only in their insanity
The lie feeds off their greed
Jesus wept

A thousand lies / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
What is a man that stays true to the game
But has to cheat a little to get by
Well that's a person that I know too well
Don't want to know but I don't have to ask why
Everyone like a loaded gun
You want some shit, I'll fuckin' pound you, son
Don't need a reason, pain I'm feelin'
I gotta vent or else I blow inside
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive
What is a man that stays true to the game
But can't believe some of the things he sees
Anger's a gift and I won't be kept down
In poverty there's no democracy
Used needle and a crack vile
A broken bottle and a bullet shell
This urban life is so volatile
An inner city or a concrete hell
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive
Lead : Robb
What is a man don't stay true to the game
Don't care for no one, only cares for his greed
He's playin' God killin' thousands of people
'Cause the power is the fix that he needs
Racist goal of the white devil
I watched our souls burnin' over oil
A politician got no feelin'
It makes my motherfuckin' cold blood boil
Introspection, termination
Can't tell right from wrong
Fed up with this whole system
It's gone on far too long
You tell a thousand lies, been told a thousand times
Your words we hear, but we cannot sympathize
Thousand lies been told a thousand times
Hard as nails, the power to survive

None but my own / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with these two fists
You have asked forgiveness
You have asked respect
Only something that you did forget
All you gave you had planned to take
Beat upon me but I won't break
Stripping everything from me? No!
Will to me your anger, will to me your rage
Will to me your lies, your sufferings
Not a man of virtue, not even a man
Will not take the hate dealt from my hands
Years of pain I will take and hone
Manifest with your broken bones
My heart bleeds for none but my own
My own
Burn
Burn
Lead : Logan / Robb
I am only nothing, I am only this
I am just a man with these two fists
You're not a man of virtue, not even a man

My heart bleeds for none but my own

My heart bleeds for none but my own ...

The rage to overcome / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
This world does not want me
This world does not care
And I'm a product of this world
Confused, I'd say, that's fair
This pain will never leave me
It's scarred upon my brain
Destroying everything that brought this
Just to keep me, just to keep me sane
A hatred burns inside me
Emotion out of hand
But I've the will to focus this
Survive, contrive, command
From pain comes a courage
The strength from injustice
The rage to overcome it all
An open mind
With a closed fist
Lead : Logan
-------------------------------------------------------
Death church / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
Well I look at justice in a different light
I been to jail, it didn't make me right
Try and conform, but won't be deaf, blind, dumb
Been beaten down, just harder I've become
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
Hey Jesus can help me with my pain
Mainline me some religion, keep me sane
Crist suffering upon my TV screen
Send in your money to the fate obscene
Death church rising
Hate church rising
Lost church rising
Death church rising
Lead : Robb / Logan
Strenght, truth and honor, words I strive to live
Your fate's profane, it takes, never gives
'Cause I'm gonna die standing upon my feet
You're gonna die groveling on your knees

Hate church rising
Lost church rising

A nation on fire / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
Intro : Logan
Weel I see, I feel
On my way
You close your eyes, scared to think
You might see
A world that spends more to kill than to cure
Living, writhing, diseased, so unpure
It hardens me, the things I see
But I won't break, it gives me strenght
Our suffering won't always be
We'll dominate, this nation on fire
The media it
Blinds our eyes
A people divided
And force fed lies
The black and white societies corrode
Warring, hating, blind, a rage explodes
So take my hand, across this land
I won't go down, stand my ground
Our suffering won't always be
We'll dominate, this nation on fire
This nation's built on fighting war after war
And for my brothers, I will fight and stand for
'Cause I won't break, your truth is fake
If blood ran red, you'd leave me for dead
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
You tell me peace, well I hear gunshots all night
Tha scars I have, I've earned 'cause I've had to fight
An endless pain, and it won't change
We just sat by, and watch this world die
A nation on fire
A nation on fire
-------------------------------------------------------
Blood for blood / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
I bite the hand 'cause this hand feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and repect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you can't speak the truth
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Beatings are what you'll inherit this time
Fist bait, your new name
Your pain is my shrine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Lead : Logan / Robb
I was born of tension
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
-------------------------------------------------------
I'm your god now / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
So pain told you to take her
Well I learned to accept that feeling
'Cause I found how to numb it
If only just for a short while
I'd get so high I'd forget my name
I scarred my fists, I scarred my brain
I think that I'm going insane
I think that I'm going insane
So drink up, so shoot in
Why must this feeling end
I crawled in my narcotic shell
Was crucified in my own hell
A gutter's where I found myself
Among the waste I chose to dwell
I chose to dwell
Lead : Robb
So now I'm in your system
And I'm what helps you numb your pain
With time you will confide in me
So lonely my friend, I've made you lose control
You'll use me more and more with time
Our friendship grows with each mainline
So glad that you could be so blind
So glad that you could be so blind
So drink up, so shoot in
'Cause I'll make this feeling end
I built you this narcotic shell
I crucified you in your hell
Your life not yours, you're just my slave
I am your messiah of pain
And time has come to
Time has come to, time has come to
There's no time to pray
Lead : Logan / Robb
'Cause I'm your god now

Block / Machine head (Burn my eyes)
Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
The declanation of all that is pure, pure
A system that feeds their machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor
Corruption gets rich, honesty just exists
'Cause nobody cares anymore, anymore
Fuck it all
Fuck it all
White attack black, black attack back
The fuckin' media keeps us all blind, blind
Children on crack, junkies on smack
You wanna close your eyes to hide, hide
Pollution so dense, sickening existence
New world order, new world decline, decline
Fuck it all
Fuck it all
The more intense the sense of ignorance
The more intense then is the pain
Hate breeds hate my eyes they have seen
The declanation of all that is pure, pure
A system that feeds their machine with
The blood, sweat and money of the poor, poor
Believe in something if it stops your suffering
'Cause all we have is nothing
NOTHING
FUCK IT ALL

Overkill / Men at work (Cargo)
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it's just imagination
Day after day it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
Day after day it reappears
Night after night, my heartbeat shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away

Enter Sandman / Metallica (Metallica)
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit : light
Enter : night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never-land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And the things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit : light
Enter : night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never-land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit : light
Enter : night
Grain of sand
Exit : light
Enter : night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never-land

Holier that thou / Metallica (Metallica)
No more!
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, you're brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead
Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip is burning at the tip of your tongue
You lie so much you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Before you judge me take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not who you are it's who you know
Other's lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not

The unforgiven / Metallica (Metallica)
New blood joins this earth
And quikcly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined in through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined in through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of this
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined in through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined in through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Under wandering stars I've grown
By myslef but not alone
I ask no one
... And my ties are severed clean
The less I have the more I gain
Off the beaten path I reighn

And I'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere I roam
Where I lay my head is home
Carved upon my stone
My bodie lie, but still I roam
Wherever I may roam

Don't tread on me / Metallica (Metallica)
Liberty or death, what we so proudly hail

Never begins it, never, but once engaged ...
Never surrenders, showing the fangs of rage
Don't tread on me

Threaten no more
To secure piece is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore ...
Don't tread on me
Love it or leave it, she with the deadly bite
Quick is the blue tongue, forked as the lightning strike
Shining with brightness, always on surveilance
The eyes, they never close, emblem of vigilance
Don't tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure piece is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore ...
Don't tread on me
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure piece is to prepare for war
Libetry or death, what we so proudly hail
Once you provoke her, rattling of her tail
So be it
Threaten no more
To secure piece is to prepare for war
So be it
Settle the score
Touch me again for the words that you'll hear evermore ...
Don't tread on me

Through the never / Metallica (Metallica)
All that is, was and will be
Universe much to big to see
Time and space never ending
Disturbing thoughts, questions pending
Limitations of human understanding
Too quick to criticize
Obligation to survive
We hunger to be alive
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
In the dark, see past our eyes
Pursuit of truth no matter where it lies
Gazing up to the breeze of the heavens
On a quest, meaning, reason
Came to be, how it begun
All alone in the family of the sun
Curiosity teasing everyone
On our home, third stone from the sun
All that is, ever
Ever was
Will be ever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
On through the never
We must go
On through the never
Out to the
Edge of forever
We must go
On through the never
Then never comes
All that is, ever
Ever was
will be ever
Who we are
Ask forever
Twisting
Turning
Through the never
Never
-------------------------------------------------------
Nothing else matters / Metallica (Metallica)
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Of wolf and man / Metallica (Metallica)
Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
I hunt
Therefore I am
Harvest the land
Taking of the fallen lamb
Off through the new day's mist I run
Out from the new day's mist I have come
We shift
Pulsing with the earth
Company we keep
Roaming the land while you sleep
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift back to the meaning of life
Bright is the moon high in starlight
Chill in the air cold as steel tonight
We shift
Call of the wild
Fear in your eyes
It's later than you realized
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift back to the meaning of life
I feel a change
Back to a better day
Hair stands on the back of my neck
In wildness is the preservation of the world
So seek the wolf in thyself
Shape shift nose to the wind
Shape shift feeling I've been
Move swift all senses clean
Earth's gift
Back to the meaning of wolf and man

The god that failed / Metallica (Metallica)
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Not the word
Not the love
Not what you thought from above
It feeds
If grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Decieve
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
Find your peace
Find your say
Find the smooth road on your way
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
It feeds
If grows
It clouds all that you will know
Deceit
Decieve
Decide just what you believe
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
I see faith in your eyes
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed
Pride you took
Pride you feel
Pride that you felt when you'd kneel
Trust you gave
A child to save
Left you cold and him in grave
I see faith in your eyes
Never you hear the discouraging lies
I hear faith in your cries
Broken is the promise, betrayal
The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
Follow the god that failed

My friend of misery / Metallica (Metallica)
You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your own voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You you're smothered in tragedy
You're out to save the world
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company
Misery
You insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery
There's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming
My friend of misery
-------------------------------------------------------
The struggle within / Metallica (Metallica)
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
Kicking at a dead horse pleases you
No way of showing your gratitude
So many things you don't want to do
What is it? What have you got to lose
What the hell
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom set's into the boring mind
Struggle within it suits you fine
Struggle within your ruin
Struggle within you seal your own coffin
Struggle within the struggling within
Home is not a home it becomes a hell
Turning it into your prison cell
Advantages are taken, not given out
While you struggle inside your hell
Reaching out
Grabbing for something you've got to feel
Closing in
The pressure upon you is so unreal
Struggle within it suits you fine
Struggle within your ruin
Struggle within you seal your own coffin
Struggle within the struggling within
Reaching out for something you've got to feel
While clutching to what you had thought was real
What the hell
What is it you think you're gonna find?
Hypocrite
Boredom set's into the boring mind
Struggle within it suits you fine
Struggle within your ruin
Struggle within you seal your own coffin
Struggle within the struggling within
-------------------------------------------------------
My country / Midnight Oil (Earth and sun and moon)
Was it just a dream, were you go confused
Was it just a giant leap of logic
Was it the time of year, that makes a state of fear
Methods, were their motives for the action
And did I hear you say
My country, right or wrong
Did you save your face
Did you breach your fate
Women, there were children at the shelter
Now who can stop the hail
When human senses fail
There was never any warning, no escape
Did I hear you say
My country right or wrong
My country oh so strong
My country going wrong
My country right or wrong
I hear you say the truth must take a beating
The flag a camouflage for your deceiving
I know we all make mistakes
-------------------------------------------------------
All I really want / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter
All I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for awhile
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around ... all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer
All I really want is some peace man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
All I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice ...
-------------------------------------------------------
You oughta know / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you dies, 'til you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
You seem very well, things look peacefull
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Until you dies, 'til you died
But you're still alive
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
'Cause he joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
And everytime I scratch my nails down on someone else's back
I hope you feel it ... well can you feel it
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
-------------------------------------------------------
Perfect / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face
Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up
How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you can do is keep quiet
Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud
I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem ... why are you crying
Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect
-------------------------------------------------------
Hand in my pocket / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopefull baby
What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five
I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong andI'm sorry baby
What it all coes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
What it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving the piece sign
I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm hard but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby
What it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano
What it all comes down to my friends
Is that everything's just fine fine fine
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one's hailing a taxi cab ...
-------------------------------------------------------
Right through you / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
Wait a minute man
You mispronounced my name
You didn't wait for all the information
Before you turned me away
Wait a minute sir
You kind of hurt my feelings
You see me as a sweat back-loaded puppet
And you've got a meal ticket taste
I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you
You took me for a joke
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ass
And then played golf for a while
Your shake is like a fish
You pat me on the head
You took me out to wine dine 69 me
But didn't hear a damn word I said
I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you
Hello Mr. Man
You didn't think I'd come back
You didn't think I'd show up with my army
And this ammunition on my back
Now that I'm Miss Thing
Now that I'm a zillionaire
You scan the credits for your name
And wonder why it's not there
I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you
-------------------------------------------------------
Forgiven / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
You know how us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviours, the loverless priests
I'll see you next sunday
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
I sang Alleluia in the choir
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brothers they never went blind for what they did
But I may as well have
In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son
I had one more stupid question
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
What I learned I rejected but I believe again
I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain will I be forgiven
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
We all had delusions in our head
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did
-------------------------------------------------------
You learn / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend
You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn
You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn
-------------------------------------------------------
Head over feet / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
You love is thick and it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
You are the bearer of unconditional things
You held your breath and the door for me
Thanks for your patience
You're the best listener that I've ever met
Your my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long
I've never felt this healthy before
I've never wanted something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now
You've already won me over in spite of me
Don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault
-------------------------------------------------------
Mary Jane / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
What's the matter Mary Jane, you had a hard day
As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in the line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore
It's a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it
I hear you're counting sheep again Mary Jane
What's the point of tryin' to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for
Well it's full speed baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way
You insist on heading
Please be honest Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don't censor your tears
You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why I love you
So take this moment Mary Jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters Mary Jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry
Tell me
Tell me
What's the matter Mary Jane ...
-------------------------------------------------------
Ironic / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic ... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice ... "
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In you face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It like meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautifull wife
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
A little too ironic ... and yeah I really do think ...
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out
-------------------------------------------------------
Not the doctor / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours
I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey
Hidden in the bottom drawer
I don't want to be a bandage if the wound isn't mine
Lend me some fresh air
I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you
I don't want to be your babysitter
You're a very big boy now
I don't want to be your mother
I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months
Show me the back door
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and @
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don't want to be the sweeper of the eggshells that you walk
upon
I don't want to be your other half I believe that 1 and 1 makes 2
I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge on my
face at midnight
Hey what are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I'm affraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and @
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week
I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart and it's
wounded beat
I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been
inhaling
What do you thank me
What do you thank me for
Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6
Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and @
Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom
You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
-------------------------------------------------------
Wake up / Alanis Morissette (Jagged little pill)
You like snow but only if it's warm
You like rain but only if it's dry
No sentimetal value to the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain but only if it doens't hurt too much
You sit ... and you wait ... to receive
There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
There's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistance
could make you try tonight
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you to you to you to you to you ...
There's no love no money no thrill anymore
There's an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
There's an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand
But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you
get up get up get up off of it
get up get up get up off of it
get out get outta here enough already
get up get up get up off of it
wake up
-------------------------------------------------------
Symphonaire infernus et spera empyrium / My dying bride (single)
The destroying genius of idols
Will shroud the world with utter lies
Dance the cobbles, his adobe named Dis
Portraits have spoken their masters distress
Icons with kisses, tell me who have seen this
Failing Enochian tapestries
Depict the prince of fallen virtues
In almost poetic rhapsody
Masterbate to the sound of the knell
The pathetic stench of dying children
Perhaps our fall is certain
Limbs entwined in absolute contoursion
Please put off your veil
Your heart is blameless
And I shudder for knowing it
A hot May makes a fat churchyard
And Lychflowel breed in chaotic frenzy
Her cry was the saddest of all earth sounds
Trauma bites hard the hearts of Kin
Swept away by a moments sadness
They say rage is a brief madness
By way of the beloveds farewell
Give back to nature what we first did take
And monuments would slowly fill
The agendas' of Kings and Queens
In silence our faces bleed
The holy voice torn away by the gale
Love is a game where both players cheat
Gone is the tale of Hero and Leander
Women are angels yet wedlock's the devil
To have and to hold but death no longer parts
Harlots and sluts, whores of our world
Expose their stinking vaginas'
Many who have no will of their own
Hold their souls towards the sinister bloom
Are you rich oh lord of vanity
As you peddle your wears of cruelty
Dressed up so you look the part
So blind, it's ignorance you wear
Quite brutal beyond belief
Sores that weep their septic tears
Dragged out through war torn lifetimes
And death shall feast on us all
The mills of God grind slowly
The adorable light of that which is most divine
The fascination of her shape
With mansions of awe and splendour
Elegant in simplicity
So at last your faith rewards you
Through fields enriched with pastel shade
And fragrant lavenders soft to smell
You laugh and drink wine of no great age
Nature does scent the farthest shores
Face to face your angelic host
All hopes in you imperishably kept
Is God your wish and all your dreams
If your body is frail then yes by all means
Make yourself all honey and the flies will devour you
-------------------------------------------------------
God is alone / My dying bride (single)
Remove the marks
Uphold the race
How the king is blind
Endowed with joy
Irritable speech
Break your back to help the wretched
My blood has learned what fear is
My skin itching insane
My mouth spills with excrement
Eyes burned away
My spine crooked and stamped on
Feet nailed together
Genitals savaged with broken glass
Snap my ribs for pleasure
God Is Alone
Children broken before me
Fathers kicked to death
Sad tune on jade flute
Mothers die in sex
Yawning wounds on tiny bodies
And dew falls on quivering flesh
Turn and watch the edge
Focus on satisfaction
Unbelievable self extinction
Admire cloned convictors
Will the beast fall
Will God save us
-------------------------------------------------------
De sade soliloquay / My dying bride (single)
Hang over me the drape
Of superfluous Horror
Aside Nocturnal trappings
Wallow in my Art
Crying and dying
My sexual ecstacy
The crimson stream
That flows from you
Magnifent, Supine,
Red heaven gapes at me
Dragged across putrid ground
Mother scorns my glove
A vile red heap
I gorge my selfish dream
Polite garden party
If only they knew
Lick the eyes
To make them shine
Peel the peach
Cold with time
The weight of fantasy
That is not even mine
Smell her wounds
Rich more than wine
The crimson stream
That flows from you

Sear me MCMXCIII / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans)
Pour yourself into me, our time approaches
so near, that I sigh. What danger in such an
adorer? We dance and the music dies. We
carry them all away, as we glide through
their lost eyes. You lift me above myself,
With the ghostly lake of your mind. Arise
from your slumber in my arms. Your beauty
took the strenght from me. In the meadows
of heaven, we run through the stars.
Romantic in our tastes. We are without
excuse. We burn in our lust. We die in our
eyes and drown in our arms.
-------------------------------------------------------
Your river / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans)
Your bloodied body is what I cling to. In
powerfull rain, they laid down their heads to
die. Let your dark, thirsty eyes drink deep the
sights of me. It's sad that in our blindness, we
gather thorns for flowers. Your river holds a
feast of danger. The suffering you have had to
bear. I'd die for that moment one more time.
The loved one falls below your ideals.
Pleasure too safely enjoyed lacks zest. The
brave lick their sickening lips. Rigid, handsome
and a poet. A king in his passionate castle.
Where now? Feed me! Hold me! Save me! save
yourself! Where now? Which way? Dear god,
show me. Take your own. Struggle free! Arise!
You're ruined! Stand down! your kin, piled
thick around you. Save yourself!
-------------------------------------------------------
The songless bird / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans)
The very deepest of your wishes. Climb up
high, take my hand. Tread carefully through
these sickening angels. Look at your god.
Look at the way he stands. The uterine
murderness dies herself. Let me show you all
my pain. Sardonyx lays waste to your eyes
and leaves you blind. Gone is the day. They
that did feed, delicately. Feed on me. The call
has come, from bird and beast. Insect and
serpent, and all that lives in the sea. And
cities of fire, rip through me. My life a
widower sad. On your knees, smell your
disease. If I live you will be sorry. I have a
thousand forms. Uniniured by your tongue.
I'm working to ensnare you. Couple your
name with cruelty. The mother of dying
children. My hatred is unnumbered. It rises in
my breast. We've lived with our suffering.
But now ... ?
-------------------------------------------------------
The snow in my hand / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans)
I've seen them. So dark. Black. And yet fine.
The flower they carry had once been mine.
Get away of me, man of stories. Robe of lies
Stay far from me. I lie to myself (it's not
hurting). I need help, but not from you or
your father. No! Jesus Christ. Who's my
saviour? Lose myself in God's death. No! I can't
bear all this pain. I had watched the snow
all day. Falling. It never lets up. All day
falling. I lifted my voice and wept out loud,
"So this is life?".
-------------------------------------------------------
The crown of sympathy / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans)
See the light and feel my warm desire, run
throuhg your veins like the evening sun. It
will live but no eyes will see it. I'll bless your
name before I die. No person in everything can
shine, yet shine you did, for the world to see.
All a man hath will he give for life? For life
that's lost bleeds all over me. I'd fallen before
but I never hurt like this. Don't leave me here
to crawl through the mire. I'm without fault
before the throne of God. Take from me the
crown of sympathy. What do you think you'll
see? What do you think there will be? Sit down!
Did you see the sun? What will we become?
Great ones? The mouths that dare not speak his
name, behold them, raised, complete and fine.
The battle for our lives is oh, so brief. Take my
hand and please walk with me. When I was
young the sun did burn my face. I let it's love
and warmth wash over me. The melting voice of
many, in the hush of night. Whispering tongues
can poison my honest thruth. Come dress me
with your body, and comfort me. I dreamt of a
dead child in my sleep. I wear a terrible
mark in my head. My clean, white red. It calls
to me. I must lie down. And I want you to lay
with me, in sympathy. No sad "adieus" on a
balcony. For one last time, just walk with me.
At the beautyfull gate of the temple, we must
be saved. For deadened, icy pain, covers all the
earth.
-------------------------------------------------------
Turn loose the swans / My dying bride (Turn loose the swans)
So little of what we observe, is the girl
herself. Elaborate, scented coiffers. Adieu
d'amour. Vast is the heirs ballroom. Let the
rich give you presents. Heaven poors from
her throat, as she sings and as she dances.
The fumes of rich swine, honeyglazed and
dripping, playing in the air. My mouth eager
and wishing. But I return to this
nightingale. Her hair all fiery red. Deep it is
and wild. My weakness will be fed. Boys
whipped on the alter of Diana, sometimes
until they died. The cunning, wily
merchant, and his four cripled horses. Tales
told in warlike manner. The storyteller by
the fire. While musing deeply on this sight,
the songster stirred my desire. You are
sweet and fine to listen to. Long tresses
about your neck. Yet much is false. This
mighty evening, I've seen no face. This is
crushing me. My quill it aches. Turn loose
the swans that drew my poets craft. I'll
dwell in desolate cities. You burned my
wings. I leave this ode, splendid victorious
through the carnage. I wanted to tough
them all. I wanted to tough them all.
-------------------------------------------------------
The cry of mankind / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river)
You can't expect to see him and survive
You'll swallow his tongue of thorns
His mouth, dripping with flies
In his glorious kingdom of fire
But I believe he wept
I will make them all lie down
Down where hope lies dying
With lust, you're kicking mankind to death
We live and die without hope
You tramp us down in a river of death
As I stand here now, my heart is black
I don't want to die a lonely man
This is a weary hour
This is a weary hour
-------------------------------------------------------
From darkest skies / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river)
Take your own
Sick with fever
And cry out loud
To God
Your sorry own
Will be piled upon me
That I can't see
My God
I've cried for earth
More than once
But rivers still run
With reddest tears
Be lost in me
And I'll never need to ask
Who wants me? Who wants Me?
Be mine tonight. The sight of your light
I'll breathe in you. I'm a fool, just for you
I'm in pain
And I don't know why
Under heavy rain
From darkest skies
We're in pain
The two of us
And I no longer know
Which way to go
Open wide. Let me see
Your bleading heart cries for me
Look straight up. Look at the sun
This song's for her. Her requiem
Open wide. Let me see
A poisoned soul in agony
Self pity strangles me
I'm lashed by grief
And I'm killing me
Don't fear. My fire is enough
For both of us
-------------------------------------------------------
Black voyage / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river)
Lie beside me on the grass
They're fighting me for thee
Mistress of beauty, thine eyes do shine
Can we run forever? Does nightfall shine?
Angel of mercy, carry me away
Those black dogs tear at me
They hunger for the life of me
So lie beside me, neath the earth
Lost forever from the earth
Descending downwards. Is this our re-birth?
Can you feel it? His cruelty glows
This terrible journey, oh, that no one knows
Down
Around here, I am
Ruler of Kings
Here
Everywhere I Am Heard
The Voice of me
Enters you
Now you're mine
-------------------------------------------------------
A sea to suffer in / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river)
The fields of blood I'd left
They mean nothing to you
That war left scars on me
Without you now, I'm free
I'd found out what you'd done to me, girl
I hate with as much passion as I love
And so now, your time's come, for me girl
The end. Your end. And my birth
Walk away. Laughing away
Remember you always, and wonder, why?
I'll suffer in your sea
Your ocean bleeds into me
I'll fall through your endless sky
But never, ever cry
Wounded by your cruelty
Yes, I'll suffer in your sea
The fields of blood I'd left
They mean nothing to you
That war left scars on me
Without you now, I'm free
-------------------------------------------------------
Two winters only / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river)
What is it you hope for, even though you are dying?
And even though life is closing your tiny eyes
Why did I leave them all?
I should be with them to die in the same place
The pain I think, should go on forever. For always
But no. Not mine. Not now. My life now begins
Call me what you will, but I'll die for no man, at all
My limbs and the life that spreads from them
Cross my path and you'll suffer like no man before, at all
What I hunger for, is the trail of God
For just two winters only did we live for
My God. What have you become? Dear, dear lord
We could have changed the world, had you been here with me
Right now
Held you in my arms. In my arms, my love
Jesus wept so man could live forever on earth. In peace
But my tears. They fall for you. Only you
-------------------------------------------------------
Your shameful heaven / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river)
You, who stand there now
I will not tell you not to cry
Without fail my purpose
Will be fulfilled
I can crown you a God
And I'll suffer for your sins
Bound so tightly, pain is everyting
Far from kindness. I am your king
Believe you're in Hell, but your's is Heaven
Cry to die. You'll love me forever
On a pale, teary cheek
Tears cascade to your feet
Whipped to the floor once again
Laughing and lashing you away
Burning pain sears through your skin
But it's more you cry, for you are a sinner
We suffer in love, but you love to suffer
Your misery is your majesty
Though your skin may burn and your wounds, bleed
The only real ache is between your legs
You've learned well, through your Hell
Your pain was nothing. You longed for more
Your shameful Heaven is full of devils
Just like me. Just for you
-------------------------------------------------------
The sexuality of bereavement / My dying bride (The angel and the dark river)
In soothe I lend a gracious ear
Your sobbing, somehow sexual
Come to my bossom. The help I bring
Is all my pleasure you lonely dear thing
Oh, cruel love, when held by you
My sanity does fly
You lie there mourning with looks of desire
'T is beauty when you cry
Drink my grieving love
Desire and wine go well
Sleep, I'll watch over you
Relief? Time will tell
Secrecy fosters passion
You stay untouched
I know you are alone
With peace I care much
-------------------------------------------------------
The mercy seat / Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (Tender prey)
It began when they come took me from my home
And put me in Dead Row
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know
And I'll say it again
I...am...not...afraid...to...die
I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner meals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All thing either good or ungood
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die
Interpret signs and catalogue
A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog
The walls are bad. Black. Bottom-kind
They are the sick breath at my hind
They are the sick breath at my hind
They are the sick breath at my hind
They are the sick breath gathering at my hind
I hear stories fomr the chamber
How Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
Died upon the cross
And might I say it seems so fitting in it's way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told
Like my good hand I
tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist
That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of His testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold
Down here it's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away
Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
So I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied
My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
Wear's a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
'Tis a long-suffering shackle
Collaring all that rebel blood
And the mercy seat is burning
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this @@waining@@ of the truth
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die

Piggy / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
Hey pig

Nothing can stop me now
I don't care anymore
Nothing can stop me now

Heresy / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
He's got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed a god up and called it christianity
God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name
God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there

March of the pigs / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
Stop right up march push
Crawl right up on your knees
Please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
I want a little bit I want a piece of it I think he's losing it
I want to watch it come down
Don't like the look if it don't like the taste of it don't like
the smell of it
I want to watch it come down
All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn't that make you feel better?
Shove it up inside surprise! lies
Stains like the blood on your teeth
Bite chew suck away the tender parts
I want to break it up I want to smash it up I want to fuck it up
I want to watch it come down
Maybe afraid of it let's discredit it let's pick away at it
I want to watch it come down
All the pigs are all lined up
I give you all that you want
Take the skin and peel it back
Now doesn't that make you feel better?
The pigs have won tonight
Now they can all sleep soundly
And everything is all right
-------------------------------------------------------
Closer / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
You let me violate you,
you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you,
you let me complicate you
Help me I broke apart my insides,
help me I've got no soul to sell
Help me the only thing that works for me,
help me get away from myself
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existance is flawed
You get me closer to god
You can have my isolation,
you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith,
you can have my everything
Help me tear down my reason,
help me it's you sex I can smell
Help me you make me perfect,
help me become somebody else
I want to fuck you like an animal
I want to feel you from the inside
I want to fuck you like an animal
My whole existance is flawed
You get me closer to god
Through every forest, above the trees
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees
I drink the honey inside you hive
You are the reason I stay alive

Ruiner / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
You had all of them on your side, didn't you? didn't you?
You believed in all your lies, didn't you? didn't you?
The ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now
he made you believe
The ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the
cattle he deceives
The raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything
he sees
Now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your
disease
How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did you get so long?
You had to give them all a sign, didn't you? didn't you?
You had to covet what was mine, didn't you? didn't you?
The ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his
flies
Maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will
suddenly realize
Maybe it's a part of me you took it to a place I hoped it would
never go
And maybe that fucked me up much more than you'll ever know
How did you get so big?
How did you get so strong?
How did you get so hard?
How did you get so long?
What you gave to me
My perfect ring of scars
You know I can see
what you really are
You didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me nothing can stop me now
Nothing can
Nothing can stop me now
You didn't hurt me nothing can hurt me
You didn't hurt me nothing can stop

The becoming / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me I am becoming
The me that you know he had some second thoughts
He's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
The me that you know he doesn't come around much
That part of me isn't here anymore
All pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
Drowns out all I hear there's no escape from this my new
consciousness
The me that you know he used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
The me that you know is now made up of wires
And even when I'm right with you I'm so far away
I can try to get away but I've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all of my bad parts
I don't want to listen but it's all too clear
Hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip away
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head
It won't give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head

I do not want this / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
I'm losing ground
You know how this world can beat you down
I'm made of clay
I fear I'm the only one who thinks this way
I'm allways falling down the same hill
Bamboo puncturing this skin
And nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall I'm
drowning in
2 feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face
And if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
And don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
You don't know just how I feel
I stay inside my bed
I have lived so many lives all in my head
Don't tell me that you care
There really isn't anything, now is there?
You would know, wouldn't you?
You extend you hand to those who suffer
To those who know what it really feels like
T those who've had a taste
Like that means something
And oh so sick I am
And maybe I don't have a choice
And maybe that is all I have
And maybe this is a cry for help
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
And don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
Don't you tell me how I feel
You don't know just how I feel
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters
I want to know everything
I want to be everywhere
I want to fuck everyone in the world
I want to do something that matters

I am a big man
(Yes I am)
And I have a big gun
Got me a big old dick and I
I like to have fun
Held against your forehead
I'll make you suck it
Maybe I'll put a hole in your head
You know, just for the fuck of it
I can reduce you if I want
I can devour
I'm hard as fucking steel, and I've got the power
I'm every inch a man, and I'll show you somehow
Me and my fucking gun
Nothing can stop me now
Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot
I'm going to come all over you
Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot

Reptile / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
She has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
Oh my beautifull liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure
Devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
Need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless
Oh my beautifull liar
Oh my precious whore
My disease my infection
I am so impure

The downward spiral / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
He couldn't believe how easy it was
He put the gun into his face
Bang!
(So much blood for such a tiny little hole)
Problems have solutions
A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash
Everything's blue
In this world
The deepest shade of mushroom blue
All fuzzy
Spilling out of my head

Hurt / Nine inch nails (The downward spiral)
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

About a Girl / Nirvana (Bleach)
I need an easy friend
I do... with an ear to lend
I do... think you fit this shoe
I do... won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I'm standing in your line
I do... hope you have the time
I do... pick a number too
I do... keep a date with you
-------------------------------------------------------
Aero Zeppelin / Nirvana (Incesticide)
What's the season of love if you can't have everything
what's the reason of love if you can lose everything
what's the meaning of love, it's a crime if anything
what's the meaning of love, it's a crime, it's a crime
How can a culture can forget it's plan of yesterday
and you swear it's not a trend, doesn't matter anyways
there's no need to talk to friends, nothing new is everyday.
you could shit upon the stairs, you'll be friends
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly.
Should it subtlely irritate, keep it movin' equally.
All I know is just the fact, where the world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway
All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly
Still the son will imitate, keep it fallin' equally
All i know is just the facts, where the world is nowadays
An idea is what we lack, doesn't matter anyway

All Apologies / Nirvana (In Utero)
What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feed as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
All in all is we all are

Aneurysm / Nirvana (Incesticide (remixed version), Hormoaning EP)
Come on over and do the twist
Overdo it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick
Come on over and do the twist
Beat me outta me (Beat it, beat it)
Come on over and do the twist

Beans / Nirvana (Into the Black)

Been A Son / Nirvana (Incesticide)
She should have stayed away from friends
She should have had more time to spend
She should have died when she was born
She should have worn the crown of thorns
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have been a son
She should have stood out in the crowd
She should have made her mother proud
She should have fallen on her stance
She should have had another chance
She should have been a son

She should have been a son
She should have been a son

Beeswax / Nirvana (Incesticide, Hormoaning EP)
Why doesn't she need him for a father?
Not only maidens can occupy my shack
Goring my manhood turns a man off.
Like Pepe LePew would say,
Hey, hey, hey! -- then we clash!
I got my diddly spayed
She laughs about it.
Shrinking inflections if the wind blows just right.
Jacking themselves off polyester.
I wanna jump, this isn't right!
Hey, when am I getting it back?
I don't know why,
I got a joke too silly to say.
Don't touch the balls.
I got a dick, Dick -- hear my fucking hate!
If you're wondering, it's gaining monthly. (If your world is getting ugly)
Fiberglass insulated, the sky is cotton candy.
Spawning downstream, El Rancho Ovulate.
Feeling can't help me romp
Bill just fuck me, take me anal
Billy's slit reminds me of someone.
I'm sick of paying for the love boat
Tony and Tenille say wanna jump rope
And I say look!
I got my penis spayed,
I got a little tail,
I got my dingaling spayed
...nothing hard
I gotta be around pussy
Don't let me fall
I got a heh-heh...well you can't live
We got my dingaling spayed
When ya gonna learn?

Big Cheese / Nirvana (Bleach)
Big cheese Make me
Mine says, "Go to the office"
Big cheese Make me
Mine says, what the hell?
Black is black, no trading back
We were enemies
Show you all what a man is [Sure you are, but what am i?]
Big lies make mine
Mine says "Go to office"
Big cheese Make me
Message? What is it?
Black is black, no trading back
We were enemies
She eats glue, how bout you?

Big Long Now / Nirvana (Incesticide)
It's not cold enough
Please put this side up
She is moving through
Can we show our faces now?
I'm not interesting
She's not turning green
Shameful as it seems
Can we show our faces now?
Endless climb
I am blind
Why can't I leave?
Color blind
Speaking a phrase
Instantly grown
I am blind
Waiting in line
Why am I sure?

Blandest / Nirvana (1988 Demos)
You're my favorite
Of my saviours
You're my favorite
Oh no
Yes you're my favorite
Of my favors
You're my razor
Oh no
Hey!
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me when not to be calm (to remind me what not to become)
And the situation wasn't quite
As intense as I thought
I need you around
To remind me when not to be calm
Calm, calm, calm

Blew / Nirvana (Bleach)
If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stain
Could you believe him when you discussed his stain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
You could do anything

Breed / Nirvana (Nevermind)
I don't care if I'm old
I don't mind if I don't have a mind
Get away, get away from your home
I'm afraid, I'm afraid of a ghost
Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We can plant a house
We can build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three

Come As You Are / Nirvana (Nevermind)
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is your, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria
Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria
And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

Curmudgeon / Nirvana ((Lithium CD Single))
I can't hide, no
On the mantle
I'm not sad
Tilling that hoe
It's the season
I'm all reason
I have seen
All I have grown
Sheared at the seams
Cheat on me
And not seen
At the seams
I'm a lender
I'm a planter
I put something
In the garden
In the handle
On the mantle
I'm not Santa
I'm a god
I want a lady
Can you save me?
It's the sulfur
I have grown
'Tis the season
I'm all reason
I have fleas
So run on home

Downer / Nirvana (Bleach, Incesticide)
Portray sincerity
Act out of loyalty
Defend your true country
Wish away the pain
Hand out lobotomies
To save little families
Surrealistic fantasy
Bland boring plain
Hold me down in restitution
Living out your date with fusion
Is the whole fleece shun in master?
Don't feel guilty, master writing
Somebody said that they're not much like I am
I know I can
Make enough of the words for you to follow along
I sink and then some
Slippery pessimist hypocrite master
Conservative communist apocalyptic bastard
Thank you dear God for putting me on this Earth
I feel very privileged in debt for my thirst

Do You Love Me? / Nirvana (Hard to Believe (Kiss Covers Album))
You really like my limousine
You like the way the wheels roll
You like my seven inch leather heels
And goin' to all of the shows
But...
Do you love me?
Really love me?
Do you love me?
You like the credit cards and private planes
Money can really take you far
You like the hotels and fancy clothes
And the sound of electric guitars
You really like rock 'n' roll
All of the fame and the masquerade
You like the concerts and studios
And all the moeny honey that I make
Your backstage pass and black sunglasses
Make you look just like a queen
Even the fans they know your face
From all of the magazines

Drain You / Nirvana (Nevermind)
One baby to another said,
I'm lucky to have met you
I don't care what you think
Unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
A travel through a tube
And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you
Pass it back and forth in a passionate kiss
From my mouth to yours because I like you
With eyes so dilated,
I've became your pupil
You've taught me everything
Without a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful -
Vacuum out the fluids
Sloppy lips to lips
You're my vitamins because I'm like you
-------------------------------------------------------
Dumb / Nirvana (In Utero)
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
my heart is broke
But I have some glue
help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover... have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb

Excitment
Right here

Go to hell
Go to jail
In back of that
Crime

Even In His Youth / Nirvana (Hormoaning EP)
Even in his youth he was nothing
Kept his body clean going nowhere
Daddy was ashamed he was nothing
Smears the family name he was something
Leave the check before you are through
I've got nothing left to prove
If I die before I wake
Hope I don't come back again

Floyd the Barber / Nirvana (Bleach)
Hello Cobain come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steaming hot towel on my face
I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved
Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-Pee pressed against my lips
I was shaved
I was shamed
I was shaved
Floyd lets others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Aunt Bee's muff...
I was shamed
I was shamed
I was shaved

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle / Nirvana (In Utero)
It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing to hear you're asking wherever you get your way
I's so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same
I miss the comfort in being sad
In her false withness, we hope you're still with us, to see if they float or
drown
Our favorite paitent, A display of patience, disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars, and leave a blanket of ash
on the ground
I miss the comfort in being sad

Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flow Through the Strip / Nirvana (In Utero: The Pachyderm Sessions)
It hurts when you have to press that dull little thing
that you're only supposed to use once and then discard.
Where do you put it? In the garbage can, my honest friend.
My shyness, pet her flow.
She's only been five months late,
even though we haven't had sex for a week.
A meal a day, a meal, I say.
And my heart's made my....
Somebody else already used the word aurora borealis.
She was tied up in chains, and Sam had helped her in the freezer.
She's only five weeks late,
and I haven't had a date forever...
ever...ever...forever!
Wish I had more...more opportunity,
more chances to remember some things
so I couldn't have so much pressure on my...
on my...on my, um...ah, on my...um...um...head.
We'd have so much more diversity,
and so much more input, so much more creative flow,
if we had someone in school, a (GIT)...
GIT...geeks...in...town.
Ha!...Come on, Dave, think of one...
Girls In Trouble
It should be GIC, geeks with Charvels
No, GWC
Fuck, man, this is a waste of time!
(laughs) One more solo? Yeahhhhhhhhh! Yeaaaahhhhh!
You're personally responsible for...
the entire strip...to be washed away...
cleansed...as if gallons of, um, rubbing alcohol
flowed through the strip and were set on fire.
It didn't just singe the hair, it made it straight.
And then Perry Ellis came along with his broom,
and his...silk...
and he...he erected a beautiful city...
a city of stars.

Hairspray Queen / Nirvana (Incesticide)
I was your mine, you were mine, my enemy,
You were, mine, I was your, your enemy,

You were, mine, I was once your en...aaahh

At night, we'll go...gaaahhh
Wishful goddess, at night
Wish the hardest, at night
Wishful goddess, at night
Wishful gaaahhh
At night, wishful goddess

At night, a mouthful on me

Heart-Shaped Box / Nirvana (In Utero)
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart-Shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn back
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your prieless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

Help Me, I'm Hungry / Nirvana (Melkweg, Amsterdam 11/5/89)
Hold me, there's too much tension
Grade me, I'm fucking hungry
Help me, I'm fucking cornered
Grade me, you might be right
Lightning fucking around in my head
Fierce, dangerous, pathetic, fucked up

Cold naked man, picked off his scabs and
Fed them to the pigeons

I Hate Myself and Want to Die / Nirvana (The Beavis & Butthead Experience (Compilation))
Runny nose and runny yolk
Even if you have a cold still
You can cough on me again
I still havent had my fulfill
In the someday what's that sound?
Broken heart and broken bones
Think of how a castrated horse feels
One more quirky cliche'd phrase
You're the one I wanna refill
In the someday what's that sound?
most people don't realize
that two large pieces of coral,
painted brown, and attached to his skull
with common wood screws can make a child look like a deer

In Bloom / Nirvana (Nevermind)
Sell the kids for food
--weather changes moods
Spring is here again
--reproductive glands
He's the one
Who likes all the pretty songs

But he knows not what it means
And I say aahh
We can have some more -- nature is a whore
Bruises on the fruit -- tender age in bloom

In His Room / Nirvana (?)
He is gonna chase you in and out of a dream
You're not gonna thank him and I'm tired of this dream
Take him on occassion in the back of the room
If they don't show any affection he'll died in June
See the stab wounds in his hands
See him dying in his room
He's dying in his room
He's dying in his room
Heading for me, heading this way
He is coming, I don't care
I don't want to thank you, well I don't mind
Gave his only pleasures to a friend of mine
He's not gonna catch you in a lighted room
You don't thank him I know I should
See the stab wounds in his hands
You killed him, I don't care
Keep a promise, you would too
Keep a promise, you would too
See the silence in his head
He is coming, I don't care
We're not gonna make it, well I don't mind
They don't want to thank him, they don't have any time
In a conversation whom they don't know
They don't have any patience, they're becoming slow
See a famine in his head
See him coming at their heels
He loves you, give him a chance
I don't love him, I don't care
See him starving, give her hell
It is over, we don't care In His Room

Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam / Nirvana (Unplugged)
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me

Don't ever ask your love of me.
Don't expect me to cry
Don't expect me to lie
Don't expect me to die for me.

Junkyard / Nirvana (Outcesticide?)
I'm long gone from vertical, somewhere south is stopping me
I'm long gone from the american dream, you may decide it's not for me
I'm long gone but I'll let you through, you may decide it's not for you.
I'm long gone but I'll let you through, you may decide there's nothing there
born in a junkyard
I'm long gone but I'll let you through, you may decide that it's not good
I'm long gone but I'll let you leave, you may decide on stopping me
I'm long gone but I'll let you through, you may decide it's not that good
I'm long gone but I'll let you leave, you may decide on stopping me.

Lake Of Fire / Nirvana (Unplugged)
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go down to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again till the fourth of July
I knew a lady who came from Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
And she flew away howling on the yellow moon
Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils
Fight to claim them for their own

I'm so happy because today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze...
'Cause I've found god - yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head...
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard...
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there...
But I don't care
I'm so horny but that's okay...
My will is good - yeah, yeah, yeah
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I kill you - I'm not gonna crack

Lounge Act / Nirvana (?)
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything yoy need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
I'll go out of my way to make you a deal
We've make a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you

Mexican Seafood / Nirvana (Incesticide)
Oh, itchy flakes, it isn't through me
Till the jaw's in flames, it's entertaining
True, the fungus mold is my attraction
Oh, it's only a disinfection
Only hurts a night, until I pee
Only hurts a night, until I sleep
Oh, coming up, and diarrhea
On the tile floor, a gum of pizza
In the toilet bowl, aroma cloudy
Toss, feel it burn, become a chowdered mess
Only hurts a night, until I pee
Only hurts a night, until I sleep
Oh, take my bed, I've just consumed some
Flies. Bugs and fleas and even mucus
Stain the vaseline, and tainted burgers
Stop, in case it learns, and takes a joke as such.

Milk It / Nirvana (In Utero)
I am my own parasite
I don't need a host to live
We feed off of each other
We can share our endorphns
Doll steak, test meat
I won my own pet virus
I get to pet and name her
Her milk is my shit
My shit is her milk
Doll steak, test meat
Look on the bright side is suicide
Lost eyesight I'm on your side
Angel left wing, right wing, broken wing
Lack of iron and/or sleeping
Protector of the kennel
Ecto-plasma
Ecto-skeletal
Obituary birthday
Your scent is still here in my place of recovery

Molly's Lips / Nirvana (Incesticide, Hormoaning EP)
She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me
She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as I stayed clean
Kiss kiss
Molly's lips
Kiss kiss
Molly's lips
Kiss kiss
Molly's lips
Kiss kiss

The Money Will Roll Right In / Nirvana (?)
I'm goin' to Hollywood, they'll see that I'm so good
I won't care how I feel, and I'll get to fuck Brooke Shields
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in
I want to be a star, I'm going to have a car
And you'll have to admit, I'll be rich as shit
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in
I would give you some, if you only would have treated me nice
You'll wish that you did, you'll feel pretty stupid
I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in
It's fun to be a star, it's nice to have a car
Yeah, you'll have to admit, that I'll be rich as shit
And I'll just sit and grin, the money will roll right in
The money will roll right in

Mr. Moustache / Nirvana (Bleach)
Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud.
Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Yes I eat cow - I am not proud.
Is he in an easychair?
--Poop as hard as a rock.
I don't like you anyway
--Seal it in a box
I'm new [Now you]
I'm who?
I'm you

Moist Vagina / Nirvana (All Apologies Single)

Negative Creep / Nirvana (Bleach)
This is out of our reach... and it's grown
This is getting to be... drone
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned!
Daddy's little girl ain't a girl no more
This is out of our range... and it's crude
This is getting to be... like drone
I'm a negative creep and I'm stoned!
Fuck! Yeah! Drone! Stoned!

Oh, Me / Nirvana (Unplugged In NY)
If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do
I don't have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that's old news
Would you like to hear my voice
sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
I can't see the end of me
My whole expanse I cannot see
I formulate infinity
Stored deep inside me

Oh, the Guilt / Nirvana (7" single on Touch and Go Records [w/ "Puss" by Jesus Lizard])
She seems to think
She seems too weak
She takes a week to get over it
She likes the sea
She likes to see
She likes to think she has all of it
She likes the sound
She likes the sand
She likes to stand, she can't afford to sit
She likes to be
She's into guilt
Guilt
She likes to think
she likes to drink
She seems too weak, she takes all the rent
She likes the time
she owns the time
She borrows time to self-invent
She seems too weak
she likes to see
She likes to think she has all of it
She likes the sand
she likes to stand
She likes to sit
she likes to go
Go
She likes to be
She likes to go
Go

On A Plain / Nirvana (Nevermind)
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say
It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
One more special message to go
And then I'm done then I can go home
-------------------------------------------------------
On the Mountain (a.k.a. You Got No Right) / Nirvana (?)
I would never bother you
I would never promise to
I would never bother you
I would never promise to
If I say that word again
I would move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
You won't be afraid of fear
You won't be afraid of fear
I am walking in the piss
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
And I have never felt so well
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
Whistle and I'll come inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
She just wants to love herself
She moves away from here
She just wants to love herself
I won't move from here
You won't be afraid of fear
I won't move from here
You won't be afraid of fear
I am walking in the piss
Always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
And I have never been so well
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
Maybe you're right...

Opinion / Nirvana (?)
Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns.
And it makes your story our concern
And you set it up for returns
My opinions. Hmm. Huh. (4x)
And there seems to be a problem here.
Your state of emotion seems to clear.
You rise and fall like wall street stock
And they had an affect on our happy talk.
Our opinions. Hmm. Huh. (2x)
My opinions. Hmm. Huh. (2x)
Congratulations you have won
It's a years subscription of bad puns.
And it makes your story our concern
And you set it up for returns

Paper Cuts / Nirvana (Bleach)
When I'm feeling tired
She pushed food through the door
And I crawl towards the crack of light
Sometimes I can't find my way
Newspapers spread around
Soaking all that they can
A cleaning is due again
--a good hosing down
The lady whom I feel maternal love for
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I see hers and they are blue
And they cock and twist and masturbate
I said so
Nirvana
Black windows of paint
I scratched with my nails
I see others just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the older ones
They point in my way
They come with a flash of light
And take my family away
And very later I have learned to
Accept some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your amusement
And that is why I'm here with you!
To take you with me
You're right
Nirvana

Pay To Play / Nirvana (DGC Rarities Vol. 1)
Monkey see, monkey do -- I don't know why I
Walk around, follow you -- I don't know why I
Throw it out, keep it in -- I don't know why I
Have to have poison skin -- I don't know why I

Give an inch, take a mile -- I don't know why I

Pen Cap Chew / Nirvana (?)
Ummm, lies again (it hurts again?)
Ummm, mine x3
Ummm, mmmm
You get (kill?), you get, you get, you get to me
All the years of tyrants such an easy way to go
You get, you get, you get, you get to me
Time to struggle and the scaling of fingernails
Ummm, lies again
Ummm, mine x3
Ummm, mmmm, You're lonely
Waste your time by saying he was gullible (sp?)
Give up all additions in there where it's cold
Push that gate, it is the age of red eye shame
Protest swine, go to jail, the travesty
Two minutes slow...slow...slow...oh

Pennyroyal Tea / Nirvana (In Utero)
I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Plateau / Nirvana (Unplugged)
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it took was fun
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But they were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could

Polly / Nirvana (Nevermind, Incesticide [as "(New Wave) Polly"])
Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off of her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct

Radio Friendly Unit Shifter / Nirvana (In Utero)
Use just once and destroy
Invasion of our piracy
Afterbirth of a nation
Starve without your skeleton key
I love you for what I am not
I do not want what I have got
A blanket acne'ed with ciggarette burns
Speak at once while taking turns
Second-rate third degree burns
What is wrong with me
What is what I need
What do I think I think
This had nothing to do with what you think
If you ever think at all
Bi-polar opposites attract
All of a sudden my water broke
Hate, hate your enemies
Save, save your friends
Find, find your place
Speak, speak the truth
-------------------------------------------------------
Rape Me / Nirvana (In Utero)
Rape me, my friend
Rape me again
I'm not the only one
Hate me
Do it and do it again.
Waste me
Taste me, my friend.
My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Sappy / Nirvana (?)
And if you say your prayers
You will make God happy
And if you do what's true
You will make me happy
I'll keep you in a jar
And you will seem happy
I'll give you breathing holes
You will think you're happy, now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll bring you fine rewards
Then you will feel happy
I'll keep you in my room
I'm sure you'll be happy
And if you save your soul
You will think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room

Scentless Apprentice / Nirvana (In Utero)
Like most babies smell like butter
his smell smelled like no other
he was born scentless and senseless
he was born a scentless apprentice
Go away - get away, get away, get a-way
every wet nurse refused to feed him
electrolytes smell like semen
I promise not to sell your perfumed secrets
there are countless formulas for pressing flowers
I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms
Leaking out gas fumes are made into perfume
You can't fire me because I quit
Throw me in the fire and I won't throw a fit

School / Nirvana (Bleach)
Won't you believe it

Give me all your...

Serve the Servants / Nirvana (In Utero)
Teenage angst has paid off well
Now I'm bored and old
Self-Appointed judges judge
More than they have sold
If she floats than she is not
A witch like we had thought
A down payment on another
One at salem's lot
Serve the servants - Oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore
As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a dad
I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
there is nothing I could say
that I haven't thought before
Serve the servants - oh no
That legendary divorce is such a bore

Sifting / Nirvana (Bleach)
Afraid to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross, self loss
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Some fear none [Sun felt numb]
Wouldn't it be fun?
Your eyes... Teacher said,
Your eyes... Preacher said,
"Don't have nothing for you"
Spell the smell
Wouldn't it be fun?
Search for church
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cold in gold [Cold in coals]
Wouldn't it be fun?

Sliver / Nirvana (Incesticide)
Mom and dad went to a show
they dropped me off at Grandpa Joe's
I kicked and screamed, said please, oh no
Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone
Had to eat my dinner there
Mashed potatos and stuff like that
I couldn't chew my meats too good
She said, well, don't you start your crying
Go outside and ride your bike
thats what I did, I killed my toad
after dinner, I had ice cream
fell asleep, and watched TV
woke up in my mother's arms
Grandma take me home
I wanna be alone
-------------------------------------------------------
Smells Like Teen Spirit / Nirvana (Nevermind)
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's over bored and self assured
Oh no, I know a dirty word
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
hello, hello, hello, how low?
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
A mulatto
An albino
A mosquito
My Libido
Yay, a denial

Something In The Way / Nirvana (Nevermind)
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
'Cause they haven't any feelings
Something in the way

Son of A Gun / Nirvana (Incesticide, Hormoaning EP)
Up up up and down

The sun shines in the bedroom
When we play
The raining always starts
When you go away

Spank Thru / Nirvana (Sub-Pop-200 Compilation)
This song is for lovers out there
And the little lights in the trees
And all the flowers have gingivitis
And the birds fly happily
We're together once again my love
I need you back, oh baby baby
I can't explain just why we lost it from the start
Living without you girl, you'll only break my heart...
I can feel it I can hold it I can rub it I can shape it
I can mold it I can cut it I can taste it I can spank it
Beat it Masterbate it
I been looking for days now
Always hearing the same ol'
City boy won't you spank thru?
I can make you do things you won't think you ever could

Spectre / Nirvana (1989 Barnyard Demos)
To hope is admittance
Feed before beginning
Double-sided cynics
Reflected images
Don't be so selfish
Leaving the image
Follow it far
To find where you are
You haven't grown
Go on alone
Never finished his sentence
Remained in seclusion
For the next few days
Family is circuling
He having moved up
All the styles of heresy
Finally he appeared unexpectedly
Looking for company
-------------------------------------------------------
Stain / Nirvana (Incesticide)
Well he never bleeds and he never fucks
And he never leaves 'cause he's got bad luck.

And he never sleeps 'cause he's got bad blood yeah

Stay Away / Nirvana (Nevermind)
Monkey see, monkey do
I don't know why I'd rather be dead than cool
Every line ends in rhyme
Less is more, love is blind
Stay away
Give an inch, take a smile
Fashion shits, fashion style
Throw it out and keep it in
Have to have poison skin
Stay away
God is gay

Swap Meet / Nirvana (Bleach)
They lead a lifetime that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make their living off of arts and crafts
They kind with seashells driftwood and burlap
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves him more than he will ever know
He loves her more than he will ever show
--Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
--Keeps her photographs close to her heart
--Keeps the bitterness close to the heart

Talk To Me / Nirvana (1989 Barnyard Demos)
Shake it down easy, shake it down sleazy, come on
Shake it down easy, shake yourself, Suzy, come on
Don't let me detain you
Try to ride along
Don't you lie, knowing
I am not sad
I am not silly
I am not chippin'
I am not chippin' away
Talk to me
In your own language, please
In your own
Talk to me
In your own language please
Shake it down easy, make it sound seamy, doll man
Make it sound now, make it full house, sad man
Leader of the band
Makes a mental hell
I won't weather it well
Well I never
Saw it with my arm
Paint it with my heart
Paint it with my eyes and make it right
Lay down easy, lay it down seamy, sad man
Lay down easy, lay it down seamy, sad man
You don't want to hear this
Nothin' but a whore
I will play the leader
With pain
Now you know I'm needy
Lay them down easy
Lay them down easy
Talk to me
In your own language please

Territorial Pissings / Nirvana (Nevermind)
"Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together,
try to love one another right now..."
When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinions
Gotta find a way to find a way when I'm there
Gotta find a way - a better way -
I had better wait
Never met a wise man, if so it's a woman
"Just because you're paranoid
Doesn't mean they're not after you."

The Man Who Sold The World / Nirvana (Unplugged)
We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World
I laughed and shook hishand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died along, a long long time ago
Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

Token Eastern Song (a.k.a. Happy Hour) / Nirvana (1989 Barnyard Demos)
I can read, I can write
I can breathe, proven fact
Bless my greed, greased unfold
Is it me, or my ego
Write some words, make them rhyme
Pieces for, story line
Set the mood, something new
Is it me, or my attitude
If you want, to belong
And you miss, the extremes
The extremes, acted out
Practicing
Perfecting
Pressuring
Unto to me
I will wade, in the fire
To explain, your asylum
Idle times, analyzing
We'll compare, all our sightings, come on
I speak, to hear, my voice

tourette's / Nirvana (In Utero)
Suggested Lyrics
"...Moderate Rock..."
May day, every day, my day
Could've had a heart attack, my heart
We don't know anything, my heart.
We all want something fair, my heart.
Hey!
Hey!
Heyyyyyyy! Heyyyyy! Heyyyyy!
Out of town, out of sight (fire), is my heart.
Queen of lies, today, my heart
One more on the phone, my heart
One more at the door of my heart.
Hey!
Hey!
Heyyyyyyyyyyy!
Mean heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart
Cold heart, cold heart, cold heart, cold heart -- uhhhhhhh!

Turnaround / Nirvana (Incesticide, Hormoaning EP)
Take a step outside yourself
And turn around
Take a look at who you are
It's pretty scary
So silly
Revolting
You're not much
You can't do anything
Take a step outside the city
And turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock
Who said don't look back?
Don't believe 'em
Go for that crazy sounding restaurant
'Cause they're gonna try and get behind you
Don't you let them do it
You know what I'm talking about?
You hear me talking?
You hear me talking?
It's pretty scary it's so revolting
Take a step outside the country
And turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is amazing
Take a good look
You're no big deal
You're so petty
It's lots
Take a step outside the planet
Turn around and around
Take a look at where you are
It's pretty scary

Very Ape / Nirvana (In Utero)
I am buried up to my neck in
Contradictionary flies
I take pride as the king of illiterature
I'm very ape and very nice
If you ever need anything please don't hesitate
to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like I'm not naive.
I've seen it all I was here first
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt

Where Did You Sleep Last Night
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found

i'm the prince of poverty hangin' out in bars
your life's a mercedes, a mansion with a pool
my life's on a bus stop just waiting for some fuel
your obviousness disgusts me i see thru your macho
lies
i'll fight everything you stand for
there's something in your purse baby, my head is
getting sore
maybe what we had was just green corn
-------------------------------------------------------
The moron brothers / NOFX (Ribbed)
talking about the moron bros', tattooed fingers,
tattooed toes
they're idiots, losers, they're scum
taking advantage of everyone
you're a dog, they're your fleas
doing everything they can to spread disease
they'll take your beer, they'll take your drugs
leave with you microscopic bugs
their company is something you won't miss
when your icetrays are filled with piss
they are the moron brothers
don't get along with others
they'll whine, they'll bitch, they'll fuck you if you're rich
they'll leach, they'll latch, they are the itch you can't
scratch
do do do do do do do do da do do do do etc.
they'll ink your face, tape your eyelids closed
tobasco's in your mouth,
there's mustard up your nose
when you head is shaved you'll think the worst has
passed
just try to move your leg
they've put you in a cast
they are the moron brothers
don't get along with others
they may not go down in history
but they'll go down on your sister
-------------------------------------------------------
Shower days / NOFX (Ribbed)
in the morning i awake
i feel my bladder about to break
i scratch my balls i rub my eye
just feeling lousy
my girlfriend tells me that
it's time to take a bath
i say, "no, not today, it's only tuesday"
once every 24 hours
i'm supposed to take a shower
that's not the way i do it
do it do it
personal hygiene is the last thing on my mind
i don't want to do it
do it do it
it doesn't make a difference to me
everyday i do the same old thing
so why should i have to be clean?
those dreaded wednesdays and saturdays
also know as shower days
i hate them.
-------------------------------------------------------
Food, sex, and ewe / NOFX (Ribbed)
i'd rather have a bottle in front of me
i'd rather watch 10 hours of t.v.
but since i can't i'll think of food
i'll think of sex
i'll think of music
and i'll think of you
i'd rather have a cold one by the sea
i'd rather have you sitting on top o'me
but since i'm here and you're so far away
i'll read about zaphod beeblebrox
as i pass the day, hey
i'd rather not spend my whole night driving
i'd rather not be on so much caffeine
but since you're in bed and i'm sleeping
on some floor
i'll think of you and i'll wish that i was home
-------------------------------------------------------
Just the flu / NOFX (Ribbed)
looking back to the past,
predictions of the end
unseen ultra violet rays
are beating on my head
nuclear threat wanna bet will be our demise
the day will come when we'll look to apocalyptic skies
when the news has spread, that soon we'd all be
dead
well it just blew our minds
no one could have guessed that our worst fears at
best
figments of our time
so it seems that our dreams will never come to be
how could such a stupid thing destroy humanity?
a few weeks till extinction and there's nothing we can
do
a message sent to other worlds will say, "it was just
the flu"
there's no lesson to be learned
there's no one left to learn it
-------------------------------------------------------
El lay / NOFX (Ribbed)
get out of my way,
can't you see i'm from l.a.?
yeah, i met slash, i've got a rose tattoo
i bet i know way more people than you
i just love this town,
my girlfriend weighs 84 pounds
met her at the cathouse where i get it for free
she pays the rent while i watch t.v.
when we go out tonight
gotta get my hair just right
tight black pants and blue suede shoes
i'll get my picture in rock city news
gotta get those flyers out,
might meet a talent scout
and he will talk contracts with
my fame and fortune and mtv
-------------------------------------------------------
New boobs / NOFX (Ribbed)
something is lacking, i'm not attracting
my boobs are not as big as i want them to be
i want 36D
i'm not receiving enuff affection
gonna get me a silicon injection
and fulfill my dreams, bust through my seams
my social life is pathetic, i can't find a man
what i need is cosmetic surgery
be the best i can be
proteins, and milkshakes, mass vitamin consumption
who needs to diet when liposuction
is painless and quick, local anesthetic
now my body is a model,
a flawless perfection
i most certainly will cause an erection
wherever i go, but i still don't know
the reason why i can't find a mate
guys i meet ejaculate
then leave through the door,
i can't take anymore
-------------------------------------------------------
Cheese / NOFX (Ribbed)
it's been a long time
now it's time to get your bubble burst
things are bad enough in this world
why do you have to make them worse?
day after day, you just gotta get it
-------------------------------------------------------
Where's my slice / NOFX (Ribbed)
so sick and tired of your bitching and complaining
so long you've been oppressed while others lives are
gaining
want reparations, you're needy and deserving
can't understand why some are served while you're
doing the serving
anything but responsiblity
where's my slice?
i want more than equal rights
i want everything for free!
you waste your time concerned with what others are
earning
you want a revolution to start the tables turning
a demonstration to make a better nation
we'll spend all day protesting all the problems that
we're facing
anything but face reality
where's my slice...
your brilliant theory
how the world owes you a living
you'll take away from others,
the things they should be giving
they own the pie and you want your share
whoever told you life was fair?
you were dealt a hand - now play it
where's my slice...
-------------------------------------------------------
Together on the sand / NOFX (Ribbed)
together on the sand,
we walked hand in hand
on the beachfront, she smiled at me
as she tightly held my hand
i had my finger up her...
country music played on the radio
so i turned it off and we walked down
to the water, as she grabbed on to my honker
a wave swept us away
-------------------------------------------------------
Nowhere / NOFX (Ribbed)
(written in july 1989)
you can't believe things you see and read
the soviet threat
our pseudo enemy
what's scaring me?
our foreign policy
to make the world safe for business
call it democracy
our human nature, it's all the same
we spend our lives in the pursuit of hapiness
so stop the hate, open the iron gate
it's our destiny to make the cold war history
you think i give a shit
if you're a socialist
if you're a capitalist
we've all got to exist
on this planet with nowhere to run
the millions of brainwashed must open their eyes
we are on
with us over here and them over there
barbed wire borders are going nowhere
-------------------------------------------------------
Brain constipation / NOFX (Ribbed)
somebody hear me, somebody listen to me
am i alone in this world
is there anyone listening?
appease me, can't find a reason to be
alienation, is taking over me
i'm going away, can't go on any longer
i really don't know why i just gotta die
i never thought this was how it would end
the body swinging,
i see it over and over again
vanian singing, can i ever listen to it again?
a cry for attention was a cry never heard
with no one listening,
there was nothing to be heard
nothing to be heard
(can't stop obsessing all the alienation
my head is bleedin frickin brain constipation)
-------------------------------------------------------
Gonoherpasyphilaids / NOFX (Ribbed)
sitting in a room waiting for some news
sitting in a room with white knuckles
not feeling so good
i didn't do the things i should
i said, "doc, tell me what's wrong with me"
he had this expression he didn't know what to say
"it seems that you've contracted a new strain."
how could this happen to me?
another victim another casualty
from fucking casually, another casualty
all the times i should have worn a jimmy hat
all the times i said, "what the fuck,
i don't look back, that's not for me."
i wouldn't listen to reason
now look at me
-------------------------------------------------------
I don't want you around / NOFX (Ribbed)
jenny, so many times i tried to get away
but you kept following me all over town
i'll display it, there's no way to say it
i just don't want you
i just don't want you around
you follow me around
it's really bringin me down
i don't want you around
when it was time to go i had nothing to say
don't you look at me,
don't you look at me that way
"i love you!" oh, really? please go away
what gave you the idea?
get it out of your head
you follow us around,
we're not the grateful dead
i wanted to be friends but you wanted more
so, like i told you before,
i don't want you around
can't you see i don't want you around...
-------------------------------------------------------
The malachi crunch / NOFX (Ribbed)
did you get that rush, that feeling, adrenalin
pumping through your veins?
a lifeless body in the gutter, city streets are stained
how do you rationalize, what do you see
in your refelection?
a kid just having fun, a soldiers bloodied
boot impression
one for all and all for one, especially when
it's ten to one
you don't care what you're doing, you know
it sure is fun
if it happened to your mother would
you laugh so hard?
well, that was someones son or brother
that you kicked so hard
this time you went to far
what's the matter, don't you feel alright?
do you feel remorse?
or are the handcuffs on a little too tight?
now that your friends are gone, you've got no
defense, no protection
5 or 6 times a day you receive your hot beef injection
i hope every time you're cornholed
terror fills your mind
the one emotion you have inspired one too many
times.
-------------------------------------------------------
The death of john smith / NOFX (The longest line)
I've got respect from the community
I've got my bridge game to look forward to
I've got this chance, a golden opportunity
As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to
You see my wife and kids, they depend on me
To provide them with nothing but the best
I feel it's my duty, my obligation
to live up to the standards society suggusts
So I'll keep on working for their benefit
And I'll keep on drinking
I'll keep on believing in my life
Another year of slaving and smiling, buying and trading
Living the life of a wealthy man
But somehow I don't feel so rich inside
But that doesn't make sense
I just had a two week vacation
As soon as I get this operation
taken care of, I'll start enjoying
the good things in life
So I'll keep on working for the benefits
And I'll keep on drinking
I'll keep believing in my life
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I won't be around
When you're feeling all alone
Then you'll know it's time,
To go into the ground
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I won't be around
I've got my family, friends, and associates
To stand by me as the threshold comes near
Within their faces I see grave concern
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere
After all these years of being complacent
What do I get? Tenderness, affection, a true sense of love?
No! Just a pain through a body chalk full of regret
I'll keep on believing my life still has value
And I'll keep on laughing
Why can't I stop laughing? I can't stop the laughing.
-------------------------------------------------------
The longest line / NOFX (The longest line)
In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
Not just a headlight
Like the one that's heading right for me
It would be nice if things could turn out right
Turn out right yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the day
I must have done something wrong
Or maybe pissed off god
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
That's sweet and sour
My life is sweet as saccharine
You know 3 week old milk and grapes are not
Not the same, No
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen
I must have fucked with some witch
In turn she cursed me, cursed my life
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line
But officer that was a yellow light
The light was red, son
Insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous
For someone lacking luck, like me
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
At the end of the longest line
-------------------------------------------------------
Stranded / NOFX (The longest line)
She once told me not to listen
Find the answers, intuition
Follow no-one, trust your instincts
Face the world, find out it stinks
Don't come crying, Don't come crying
Don't come cry to me
I'm not your friend, I'm just your lover
Don't put your faith, Don't put your faith in me
You cut me up and rob me blind
But now I'm fine
She told me about the places I could never find
She told me how to walk while by her side
Don't be fooled by teardrops
They're worth a thousand lies
When I saw them running down her face
I believed in her
Stranded, Ah Ah
Stranded, Ah Ah
Hit me in the gut
like a brick through a window
Left me in the gutter like a wet news rag
Sitting alone, thinking out the times we never had
Cause you were my life
She told me if and whether
We'd spend the night together
She made so many promises
I believed in her
-------------------------------------------------------
Remnants / NOFX (The longest line)
Wasting your life on the sidewalk
When you can be out on the street, dodging cars
As they go by, the wind goes right through you
Life on the edge of a razor
Never knowing when you're to fall
Sure as hell beats never gambling at all
Life's too short to just barely exist
Wide spread mediocracy
Will suck you up, resist
Another number on a list
I don't want it, you can have it
You can try, but you won't make me
Feel the things you feel
I'll take my chances, till I find a better deal
I'll take my chances, along with all the rest
The snail goes over the razor blade
The suicide squad of lemmings parade
To their kingdom, where they've made reservations
I have no reservation
I don't think my seat's been saved
I'll take my chances, here, right
-------------------------------------------------------
Kill all the white man / NOFX (The longest line)
The white man call himself civilized
Cause he know how to take over
The white man come to pillage my village
Now he tell me I have to bend over
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
No I don't like the white man up in me
He rape my people as he rape my country
Everything I love and cherish, he try to take away
We will be rid of him, soon come the day
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
Oh yeah, kill all the white man

Truck stop blues / NOFX (Liberal animation)
a truck stop in kansas
with nowhere to
to many days without any shows
5 cups of coffee
as I just sit and mold
its 4 a.m. as I sip from my cup
Its 5 a.m. the suns coming up
my body has shifted to the touring mode
trying to sleep
in the van on the road
I gotta find a place to call home
Ive got the truck stop blues
taking care of myself paying my dues
living life day by day
Ive got the truck stop blues
dont think I'd have it any other way
-------------------------------------------------------
Dig / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
rationalize values it's so easy to succeed
keeping your eyes on the prize excess
camped outside liassez faire
people understand me there
don't talk to me we'll get along just fine
blowin' out your mores
henry ford tradition preys on
idle minds left the emergency brake on too long
underneath the city lies the ruins of mankind
the excavation was a financial success
with artifacts of gold
the arrowheads went straight to the smithsonian
the rest was melted down and sold
substantial gains
minimal losses are tolerable
as long as the machine keeps running fine
cannibals
functioning on pheromones
rational thought lost to instinctual
-------------------------------------------------------
Don't call me white / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
the connotations wearing my nerves thin
could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
i understand that language breeds stereotype
but what's the explanation for the malice, for the
spite?
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
i wasn't brought here, i was born
circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn
does this mean i have to take such shit
for being fair skinned? no!
i ain't a part of no conspiracy, i'm just you're aver-
age joe
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
represents everything i hate
the soap shoved in the mouth to clense the mind
the vast majority of sheep
a buttoned collar, starched and bleeched
constricting the veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
they're so fucking ordinary white
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
oh, we're better off this way?
oh, say what you're gonna say
so go ahead and label me an asshole
'cause i can
accept responsibility for what i've done
but not for who i am
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
-------------------------------------------------------
Leave it alone / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
breath ever so soft
we wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk
never alone, catious, afraid
i hear the voice of reason on the p.a.
leave it alone, follow the grain
we couldn't stop the irresistible force
leave it the same, change with the leaves
bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the old
leave it alone
da na na na na na na na
da na na na na na na na
da na na na na na na na
da na na na na na na na
breath, ever so slight
we couldn't take away your god given right
leave it alone, heel and stay
roll over and shake and beg for the bone
leave it alone
da na na na na na na na
da na na na na na na na
da na na na na na na na

Linoleum / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
possessions never meant anything to me
i'm not crazy ('cause i've got none)
well that's not true, i've got a bed and a guitar
and a dog named bob who pisses on my floor
that's right, i've got a floor
so what, so what, so what, so what?
i've got pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes
where everything important to me just seems
to fall right down my leg
and on the floor
my closest friend, linoleum
linoleum
supports my head, gives me something to believe
that's me on the beachside combing the sand
metal meter in my hand
sporting a pocket full of change
that's me on the street with a violin under my chin
playing with a grin, singing gibberish
that's me on the back of the bus
that's me in the cell
that's me inside your head
that's me inside your head
-------------------------------------------------------
A perfect government / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
even if it's easy to be free
what's your definition of freedom?
and who the fuck are you, anyway?
who the fuck are they?
who the fuck am i to say?
what the fuck is really going on?
how did the cat get so fat?
what does the family die?
do you care why?
'cause there hasn't been a sign
of anything gettin' better
in the ghetto
people's fed up
but when they get up
you point you're fuckin' finger
you racist, you bigot
but that's not the problem
now is it?
it's all about the money
political power is talkin
protecting the rich denying the poor
yeah, they love to watch the war from the
white house
and i wonder how can the sleep at night?
how can they sleep at night?
how did the cat get so fat?
how did the cat get so fat?
how did the cat get so fat?
how did the cat get so fat?
-------------------------------------------------------
Dying degree / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
dresser drawers are filled with pocket change
coupons cut, cigarettes smoked down to the butt,
is this what dreams are made of!
adding up subtracting down you find
yourself sucking the rind
dying degree, graying amie
final payment made -- had you forgot?
the rightful owner of one deluxe cemetary plot
paisley satin lined how appropoe
what a better way to go
dying degree, graying amie
no more eating crumbs
when my pension finally comes
you kids won't eat mush anymore 'round me
dying degree, graying amie
-------------------------------------------------------
Fleas / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
my father used to say
you sleep with dogs the next day
you'll wake in the bed scratching
those inevitable fleas
at ten years old
you listen to what you're told
but i never felt the itch
i never would
my mother had forbidden me
to waste away my life
i want you to have all the things
i could never buy you
so don't stop what i'd begun
you're my one my only son
follow what i say not what i've done
follow what i say not what i've done
shower, scrub, and shave
cleanly boys don't misbehave
follow what i say not what i've done

Jeff wears birkenstocks / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
don't wanna chill, don't wanna sit
don't wanna hear no hippy shit

don't wanna groove, don't wanna dig
don't wanna spend the day naked
don't like my music country fried
he's got a tye dyed rancid shirt
he wears his birkenstocks to work
is he a jerk? no! just confused

he's got a tye dyed rancid shirt

he wears his birkenstocks to work

jeff don't wear regular shoes
he's got a tye dyed rancid shirt

Lori meyers / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
lori meyers used to live upstairs
our parents had been friends for years
almost every afternoon we'd play forbidden games
at nine years old there's no such thing as shame
it wasn't recognition of her face, what
brought me back was a familiar mark
as it flashed across the screen. i
bought some magazines, some video taped scenes
incriminating act i felt that i could save her
who are you to tell me how to live my life?
you think i sell my body; i merely sell my time.
i aint no cinderella, i aint waiting for no prince
to save me in fact until now i was doin' just fine
and on and on
i know what degredation feels like
i felt it on the floor at the factory
where i worked long before, i took control
now i answer to me
the 50k i make this year will go anywhere i please
where's the problem?
-------------------------------------------------------
Punk guy ('cause he does punk things) / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
crazier than gg, more pc than ian
got colored teeth like johnny
exudes a vicious disposition
his hair sticks out like colins did, he jumps
similar to springa, he points his middle finga
not just he singer in the band
voted biggest asshole and role model of the year
got a face like charles bronson
straight outta green bay wisconsin
not just a singer in the band
he'll puke on you, he'll fuck your mom, he'll smoke
while huffing gas

disorderly volume ii

Reeko / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
reeko, try to understand, it really is that bad
it won't just go away, the party's over
it's past two o' clock, so it's about time we
stopped, cause i
see the keg has been sucked dry
the cisco was emptied into the aquarium
where the fish all seem to play the ex lax lines
the dog bowl
the toilet's overflowed, we've had our fun so
now there's nothing left to damage
we got no place left to go
mr. president please understand, it really is that
bad
it won't just go away, it's just beginning
the ballots have been cast, we make like seaward
rats
leave this sinking ship, leave and not look back
the things we never tried to disallow
have come back to haunt us now
with apple pie and chevrolet
we've come to see the end, we all made this bed
now we got nowhere to lay,
dies and gentleman
try to understand
-------------------------------------------------------
Scavenger type / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
gigin alone at the bottom of the hill
our protagonist named bill
sets his sights on an anchor steam pint
all he needs is thirteen quarters
congregated in his hat
a crow, a scavenger type
california redemption provides him with his rent
room and board inside a fifth of comfort
as the wind pentrates his bones
his mind keeps focused
tidal waves of sound catapulted
form his horn wail like lovers
the coins don't drop consistent as does the mercury
his meter slows realizing a zenith
he's reach perfection
no one did see him die
-------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------
The cause / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
it isn't for the money, no it isn't for the fun
it's a plan, a scam, a diagram
it's for the benefit of everyone
you gotta have a little respect
subterranean ideals
traditional neglect
relect on how you think it would make you feel
the cause -- we're just doing it for the cause
no it isn't for the fortune, it isn't for the fame
it's a scheme, a dream, a barterine
we want everyone to think the same
because you know what you feel is right
and you feel what you can't ignore
and you try to hard to point the blame
ashamed -- what do we do this for?
the cause -- we're just doing it for the cause
the cause -- we're just doing it for the cause
the cause -- we're just doing it for the cause
the cause -- we're just doing it for the cause
-------------------------------------------------------
The happy guy / NOFX (Punk in drublic)
he's just a man getting through life
the best he can
he's not a scientist, he programs a computer
before that he sold cars to pay a
student loan now he receives pity
from his family -- his friends say how could he
turn his back on reason worshipping
a god finding truth fear and mind control
he's just a man trying to explain how
he found the word of god could make his like seem less
insane
so he shares what he's read, what he understands, it
makes
sense to him, it makes perfect sense to him, in fact
he's never seen so clearly
turned his back on free will -- has he lost his mind?
he'd rather kneel down than take charge of his life
and he knows what people think, but it doesn't sway
him
he can read the writings on the wall
'cause he knows how people treat, how they treat each
other
a sacrifice to benefit the all
don't try to judge him, his theologian ideals
his hopes may be false but his happiness is real
don't try to judge him, he's just a man
-------------------------------------------------------
Day to daze / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
trusted you at least I thought I could
I tried to believe when you said
I got a better job I can pay you back
real soon. no! I don't do those drugs no more
I know my luck has changed my lifestyle
has rearranged I'm on my feet
you'll never change your ways
living from day to daze
why don't you fade away
I've heard all this before
when you were sleeping on my floor
you said only for a day
but as those 3 weeks passed
my patience didn't last nor my food
-------------------------------------------------------
Five feet under / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
5 feet under, he's got one foot in the grave
would you look at him I think he's lost it
I don't think that he can be saved
he's got a downpayment on his tombstone
he's not alone his whole life has been out
on a limb. just look at him, watch
him get smashed and race bikes so fast
just don't laugh, what will it say on his epitaph
here he lies may he rest in peace
hung on to life by the skin of his teeth
pushing his luck thru the bottle he drinks
he's got a date with his maker and he
doesn't want to be late and make no mistake
he's a good friend so why might his life
have to end, my friend I don't want to
see you dead
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!
-------------------------------------------------------
Professional crastination / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
can't u see how easy it becomes
procrastinate, we're professionals
get things done, you can't, to busy
having fun we're professionals
professional crastination it's a way
of life if you've got lots of time
put it off cause tomorrow sounds
much better than today
always late, not sometimes, occasionally
consistantly, we're professionals
professional crastination we're living
in a procrasti-nation
why can't we ever be on time?
professional crastination it's a way of life
if you've got lots of time
professional crastination we're living
in a procrasti-nation
professional crastination
-------------------------------------------------------
Vanilla sex / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
don't ever take away from me my pornography
we obviously don't agree on what's obscene
I have the right to choose what I
want to see and read
don't try to take away from me
my right to privacy what I
do is no one's business but me
so stay in your missionary position
I hope that you get bored to death
there's no way I'm going thru life
having vanilla sex
the government's trying to get in
your bedroom you better lock your
door and close your shades because
there could be someone watching you today
why do you try to make things illegal
why do we have to be 21
are you afraid that people are having
too much fun
why do you care what I do in my bedroom
why do you want to know how I screw
it seems to me you've got nothing better
to do.
-------------------------------------------------------
S&m airlines / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
I went to the airport, but I missed my flight
I had to get out of this town tonight
then a lady in black caught my attention
I couldn't figure out what was her intention
she told me about a flight that was leaving tonight
she could get me a seat and the price was right
she tugged on my pants so I jumped at the chance
I had no idea what was in store for me
she welcomed me aboard then she strapped me to my seat
she tied my hands and legs down and made me kiss her feet
she whipped me and she slapped me, and gagged me when I begged
one things for sure I'll never fly s/m airlines again
the stewerdess in leather came walking down the isle
she put nipple clamps on me with a sadistic smile
the pain was so bad I had tears in my eyes
then I looked up and there were two gartered thighs
her ass was inches from me when she told me to lick
before I could do anything she slapped my dick
so I followed her commands, my aim was to please
I spent the rest of the flight on my knees
the plane finally landed by the end of the night
I had to get off of this torture flight
I asked her to release me, then she bit my lip
she said the ticket that you bought, it was round trip.
I'll never fly s/m airlines again
I'll never fly s/m airlines again
I'll never fly s/m airlines again
I'll never fly s/m airlines again
-------------------------------------------------------
Drug free amerika / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
we belive in a drug free amerika
a drug free amerika for me
that's the way we belive
the way that it should be
drug free amerika for me
like in amsterdamn where drugs
are bought and sold legally
let's take it one step further
and make them all for free
drug free amerika for me
say "nope to dope" when its not for free
say "ugh to drugs" save your money

Life of riley / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
I sit in my easy chair
I've got so much time to spare
cause I know in my future days
I'll have my lionshare
theres nothing I like better
than getting something for nothing
then some will tell you that you can't get nothing for free
obviously they don't know me
you can have your cake and eat it too
and there's plenty of free lunch for you
if you think you're getting cheated then you don't have a clue
you don't know where you are, or what to do
I live the lifestyle they speak of so highly
I live the life...the life of riley
-------------------------------------------------------
You drink, you drive, you spill / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
I say don't drink and drive
you might spill your drink
before you get behind
that wheel, just stop and think
you can take your chances
but there's so much to lose
another bumpy road,
there's so much wasted booze
I'm not so worried
about how many I kill
I'm much more concerned
with how much beer I spill
i say don't drink and drive
you might spill your drink
before you get behind
that wheel, just stop and think
35% of accidents
are cause by pixilated
the other 65% are not
alcohol related
what does this tell us
about the drunk drivers
they seem to have a
better record than
the sober team
I'm not so worried
about how many I kill
I'm much more concerned
with how much beer I spill
i say don't drink and drive
you might spill your drink...
-------------------------------------------------------
Jaundiced eye / NOFX (S&M Airlines)
black is beatiful, white is so pure
can you see a difference? all I see's a blur
is one color a virtue how can you be sure
ignorance the disease education the cure
so how can you say that your proud of your race
proud of your gender
or proud of your faith
facism racism all starts out the same
stop feeding the fire and smother the flame
some people are smarter than others so dumb
the reason behind this a cultural one
and greatness isn't carried by blood
so get off your high horse
youre no better than us
all seems infected that the infected spy
as all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye
you're the infected you can never deny
you're arrogant, you're insolent, you're living a lie

Whatever didi wants / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
i wouldn't walk 500 miles when i could fly coach

Drop the world / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
he won the race the judges concluded
he was the betterman he'd come from victory
a hesitation a one time show or place
his self would not allow he had to be the best
he had denied his urges cause they would of
drained his strength that battle had been one
with side effects a few
hew may have dropped the world
he could not let us down
dana has gone away
i hope she's in a better place
she aced the test a grade above the rest
of the class felt the curve a 93%
was not enought to feed her fix
she needs that perfect score
the endorphin rush she liked
it would opiate her
she had denied all allegations of her lonliness
that battle had been won with scars still under wraps
she may have dropped the world
she would not let us down
endorphin rush she loved
she may have dropped the world

Freedom like a shopping cart / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
a christian an anarchist slash prostitute figures out the true
meaning of freedom

kick back no tense you got a bag of grub cost you about 50 cents
no fear no fuckin feat malt liquor tastes much better on the
street
crustin, a way of life for heroines and heroes who hitchhike the
road to eden
not eden like the garden state, eden like the state of mind
kick back cheap thrills you'll do anything for a laugh even if it
kills you
the bridge you took it out the ticket takers suddenly lost count
sleeping under rays your teeth crumbling away say goodbye
to all responsibility you never wanted it man
wasting time whenever you get the chance
which happens to be all the time
kick back free meals
a couple times a day you make a couple of shady deals
no work no fuckin pay
cardboard condominium by the bay
you're between the red & black and you're never going back
say goodbye to all responsiblity you never wanted it man

What's the matter with kids today? / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
there's something wrong
with the kids in my neighborhood
they always listen to moms
they disregard civil disobedience
they'de rather do what they're told
they don't drink or fuck or fight
they stay home, and read, preparing/expand their minds
there's something wrong with
the kids in my cul-de-sac
they're always goin to church
they dress well and they're
speaking articulate
they show each other respect
they're never late, don't smoke
or break rules,
they eat right, study hard
they like school
there's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood
-------------------------------------------------------
Liza / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
she's been around a couple years
tasted 31 flavors
there's only one she really hates
that would be vanilla bean
the blandest on to make her scream
and that's what she likes to hear the most
liza's been around the block
she's currently a femme bitch top
a giant step from old louise
now she's the one who's on the prey
she used to wear her hair short long
determining her preference
she didn't like that dynamic
trading in her flannel shirts
for six inch heels, latex skirts
she even bought herself some bras
miss terrence sellers akin
she's got more power feminine
she knows the power incites fear
and it's that fear which makes her wet
she's goin' to the tribe 8 show
plenty of boychicks to choose from
it's at the calyx of isis
she'll find a bottom young + butch
she'll tell her "i won't hurt you much
unless of course you want me to"

Philthy phil philanthropist / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
theres something wrong with mass consumption

philthy phil philanthropist

Bleeding heart disease / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
how money polluted my mind
dough- what our lives are lived for
rae- just a crazy aussie
me- the generation forges on
fo- dder for corporations
sew- wing our lives together
la- such a nice place to get shot
but dont forget the t it
follows liber in the constitution
following the part about pursuit
of happiness the bi product
of colonial precious metal
mine extracts which
brings us back
to dough
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
do do do do do do
today I saw a kid torture a cat
too much leisure
teenage norman rockwell
paints it black!
how- did the chain get started
mo- re is what everyone wants
ney- dy is what none of us are
co- operation died last night
rup- tured bleeding heart forsight
me- I'm just a loo
so dont expect the best you wont be disapointed when you take
a bite and watch the worm crawl back inside. listen to the
fairy tales of million dollar happiness, los angelistic
lifestyles
drinking chardonnay over a lobster salad brunch
do do do do
do do do do
do do do do
do do do do
the pursuit of million dollar happiness
happiness was killed we watched it bleed, some say it died from
hate
some say from bleeding heart disease

Love story / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
partly owned tuder house
wooden white picket fence
mother waits for father
in a backless dress
hardly used a diaphram
put back into it's case
a one way trip down memory lane
as she awaits
I dont wanna know
cheat me
I dont wanna know
children play in the yard
mother stares at a wall
father says he's gonna be back late
so dont wait up
about a quarter to 3
father stares at a wall
stained thicker than water
who's gonna clean it up
I dont wanna know
cheat me
I dont wanna know

The black and white / NOFX (Heavy petting zoo)
mr mcarthy killed the light he didn't wake his lovely wife
he left the key inside the door. woke on the wrong side of the
bed
she cant remember what he said but she sure knew what he had done
little choices in a, little town maybe a, little man is right to
be afraid
biblic moralization, identity frustration, confused man cannot
follow his heart
so he may be fucking her, but he's thinking about him
catherine mckinnon does exist, she likes to call herself a
feminist
a crusader who fights the patriarch. but what she really hates is
sex
erotic images oppress, and debase women as a whole
simple solutions created by black + white thinking. too bad the
world not work that way
catherine should be busy porkin, that dolt andrea dworkin
I think they need a good hard fuck
so she may be off her back now she needs to get off ours
the little man sits all alone, his sexuality's been cut in stone
he don't love her, she really don't care
two victims of the black and white
the black and white...

Bob / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
Fifteen years getting loaded
Fifteen years 'till his liver exploded
Now what's Bob gonna do now that he can't drink
The Doc said, "What were you thinkin 'bout?"
Bob said, "That's just the point,
I wasn't thinking 'bout nothing
Now I gotta do something else to pass the time."
Had someone shave his head
Got a new identity
Sixty-two holed air cushioned boots
And a girl who rides a scooter to take him out of town
They could get away
Riding around, as the trucks drive by
You could hear the mother truckers go ...
A couple of lines, an extra thermos of Joe
He'll be kickin in heads at the punk rock show, yeah
Bob's the kind of guy who knows just
Bob's the kind of guy who knows just what to do
When the Docter tells him to
"Quit your drinkin, now's the time."
Will he ever walk the line?
Will he ever walk the line?
To all my friends, I feel just great
But will he ever walk the line?
Kickin ass and bustin heads
Red suspenders
Once a day he shaves his head
But will he ever walk the line?
Shoo ba doo boo bop shoobedoo boo beep beep
Bob

She's gone / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
A blackened wick is what remains
The flame was blown out just recently
Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick
It won't be lit again, the day won't be so bright
We don't know what she may have been
All we know is what she left behind
An appartment cluttered with children's toys,
Photos of good times
In the bedroom, there's sheets on the windows
There's a four poster bed for a reason
There's a box on the floor full of secrets
It won't be opened
Here older boys and girls would play
All inhibitions were left behind
As the door would close, her face began to shine
This was her finest hour, this was her finest time
Now, she's gone, and it's not gonna be alright, not for me
She's gone, but not forgotten, she's still here
In all those years she touched so many lives
Who's gonna watch the little girl she left behind?
Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard
All the other children have gone
After waiting for hours,
She can't understand why her mother left her
In the darkness she sees definition
In the silence, she hears something calling
After nightmares, she lies in bed screaming
But there's no reaction
There's no one listening, there's no one
Now, she's gone, and it's never gonna be alright not for me she's
gone
-------------------------------------------------------
I wanna be your baby / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
Open yourself, let me inside
Open your arms, I have nowhere
To go, so let me into you
I need to be where nothing can hurt me
Open your legs, so I can crawl
Inside of you, I need to be
Inside your womb, so take me home
Inside of you, envelope me, I'm home
I wanna be your baby
Bringin' me down
Bringin' me down
Open your lips and take me in
I need to be inside within
Let me become a part of you
Let me inside of you, swallow me whole
I want to know the things you hide
I want to feel the things you feel
I want to breath the air you breath
I want to live inside of you, take me
Bringin' me down
I wanna be your baby
Let me live inside
-------------------------------------------------------
Stickin' in my eye / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can't make out the words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something stickin in my eye
Got something stickin in my eye
Got something stickin in my eye
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me
Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry
It's not from pity, it comes from
What's been sticking in my eye
Got something stickin in my eye
-------------------------------------------------------
You're bleeding / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
You've got the beauty, but that don't mean a thing
A bland reciprocation, but that doesn't bother me
You're happier with lights on underneath a darkened sky
Only in the spotlight can you tell me of your crimes
I understand the situation, but I can't
Seem to understand the motivations you once had
I recall a message I once left behind a screen
I was entranced, when you were never there for me
You're draining, you're draining me, I'm not a tub
Whatever happened to the girl I used to hold?
I held in such a high regard
Where is the girl who had it all?
I used to think I wasn't worthy of your cause
I used to feel so lucky
Until the day I felt a weakness in my arms
I knew from where it had been coming
You're bleeding, you're bleeding me, I can recall
The passions you once had, where did they go?
I knew a girl who had it all
I knew a girl where did she go?
-------------------------------------------------------
Please play this song on the radio / NOFX (White trash, two heebs
and a bean)
We wrote this song, it's not too short, not too long
It's got back-up voc's in just the right places
It's got a few oohs and aahs
It takes a little pause
Just before the second chorus
Please play this song on the radio
Almost every line is sung in time
Almost every verse ends in a rhyme
The only problem we had was writing
Enough words
Ooh ahh
But that's okay, because the chorus is
Coming up again now
Please play this song on the radio
Please play this song on the radio
Please play this song on the radio
Right about this time
Some shithead will be drawin a fat fucking line
Over the title on the back sleeve,
What an asshole!
So mr. dj,
I hope you already made your segway
Or the fcc is gonna take a shit right on your head
Can't play this song on the radio
Can't play this song on the radio
Can't play this song on the radio
Can't play this song on the radio
-------------------------------------------------------
Soul / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
Sometimes I feel my life is going 'round in circles
Beneath my eyes rae bluish black
There's nothing new, no one I wanna talk to
Nothing I wanna think about, I got soul doubt
I stick my head out of the window, it's closed
Instead of air, I get glass stuck into my head
The city's sounding, and I can't seem to stop the pounding
Can't keep my thoughts from flying 'round
Can't keep my thoughts from flying 'round
Not sure what I'm thinking about, I got soul doubt
A shameless display, wearing a smile full of pain
A frameless Erte, a painting without a signature
She's waiting for someone to save her
As I pass her by I see Cinderella
She doesn't fit in the slipper
Like she fits in a bottle of liquor
There's no one to take her away
Her eyes meet mine, she sees right through me
The question is asked, Whatcha' gonna do for me?
I don't want nothin', just a connection
I gotta know what she's all about
Cause I know she's been there - soul doubt
Stick my head out of the window once again
This time I see a thousand faces all too clear
They wear the same expression, I've seen in my face
So many times, I know exactly how they feel
I know exactly how they feel
I know just what they think about
They've got soul doubt
-------------------------------------------------------
Buggley eyes / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
Have you ever gone to sleep with Bo Derek
And woke up with Bo Didley?
Have you ever gone to sleep with Bo Derek
And woke up with Bo Didley?
You got so loaded, you thought that she
Was the most beautifull girl that you ever did see
Yeah, have you ever gone to sleep with Bo Derek
And woke up with Bo Didley?
Woke up in the morning, to your surprise
A couple melons in tube socks, and buggley eyes
Yeah, have you ever gone to sleep with Bo Derek
And woke up with Bo Didley?

Johnny Appleseed / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
Through word of mouth let it be known
The man who spends his life on a mission, he's legendary
Travelling from coast to coast
He's the contemporary Johnny Appleseed
He's making sure his garden grows
He'll plant a seed in every town he goes
Fertilizing the countryside
Couldn't stop him with insecticide
Makin' sure that the garden grows, yeah, yeah, yeah
He'll water the yard with the garden hose
And you know he'll be plantin' his seed, yeah, yeah, yeah
Groomin' the backyard, or whackin' a weed
When diggin' holes, he'll be wearing a glove
He go into the shed, get out a shovel, and he shove
He'll plant the seed, makin' sure it's sown
He go into the shed, and he start hoein' with the hoe, ho, ho, ho
Makin' sure that the garden grow, yeah, yeah, yeah
He'll water the yard with the garden hose
Groomin' the backyard or whackin' a weed, yeah, yeah, yeah
The contemporary Johnny Appleseed
-------------------------------------------------------
Warm / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
One more time for Ho Jo, you know I can't wait
Another wated line
I'm sitting in the corner, I can feel the weight
Of my head on top of my spine
There's nothing to be scared of once you've
Seen the light, reflecting through the screen
A eudaemonistic life composed of tar and nicotine
You know it, you know it, you know it
'Cause you've seen it, now you believe it
You know it because it seems so real
You know it because you've seen it, now you believe it
You know it because it seems so real
It seems so real, it seems so real, it seems so real
Sit back and relax and do nothin', na na na na
You'll laugh, then you'll cry, then feel nothin', na na na na
Implanted images of morality
Images f life, they seem so real
One more time for Ho Jo, what does it mean?
I'm not sure I know, while looking for somebody
Deep inside a dream, my sunshine turns to snow
Now it's blowin' inside, I don't feel the cold
Yet I'm frozen to my seat
My eyes have seen the truth
And still my mind admits defeat
-------------------------------------------------------
Liza and Louise / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
Liza's had enough of men
She says, she won't get burned again
She says, they don't know how to fuck
Her last boyfriend, the shmuck
Shared with her a nice disease
Kept her passive, on her knees
'Till one day she took his car
And drove it to the city
Liza had out down a few
When she met this girl called Lou
Who convinced her to go home with her
She said, "My name's Louise
Now will you take your clothes off please?
I want to take you to the moon and back
So get on your back."
With a flick of the tongue
She made her scream
She made her laugh
She made her dance
She was happy for the first time
And you know she wanted more
Now with her legs spread wider
She needed to have Louise inside her
She aid, "I'll never forget the first time
You kissed me, now I want you to fist me."
Louise didn't need a second invitation
She knew just what to do
She knew just what to do
Liza had cum a few times before
But she had never even seen the door
Into the world of pleasures of the flesh
She felt just like 16
And her life before now was a dream
Or even a nightmare thats over and done
Just like warm healing rays
Shining from the sun
They make her beam
They make her laugh
They make her dance
She was happy for the first time
And you know she wanted more
You know she wanted more...
-------------------------------------------------------
The bag / NOFX (White trash, two heebs and a bean)
Endless evenings of non-exist
Are getting shorter, monotonous
Like an intruder, I belong outside
Although I find myself right back
The same place I was before
Saying things I'd say once more
There's no reason for me to be here, no
I feel so lonesome, surrouded by friends
Who are talking about me, saying things
I could care less about
This dialogue is without
Worth, content, significance
Conversational ambivalence
Hear the same things every night
It just ain't right
I'm not the one to hold the bag
Give me something I can sink my teeth into
Show me a time, tell me a story
That I haven't heard a million times before
I pass out from boredom
As I watch the people pass
I see moments in their lives, nothing fascinating
Are we all living for the past, never realizing
We're clinging to an empty bag
Lacking content, significance
Conversational ambivalence
Say the same thing every night
It just ain't right
We'll see who's left holding the bag
-------------------------------------------------------
Nitro (Youth energy) / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
Our generation sees the world
Not the same as before
We might as well just throw it all
And live like there's no tomorrow
There's no tomorrow
There's no tomorrow
We are the ones
Who are living under the gun every day
You might be gone before you know
So live like there's no tomorrow - ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
There's no tomorrow - ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
Hey, believe it
The official view of the world has changed
In a whole new way
Live fast cause if you don't take it
You'll never make it
So if you understand me
And if you feel the same
Then you will know what nitro means
You'll live like there's no tomorrow - ain't gonna waste this
life
There's no tomorrow - you aint gonna live if for me
There's no tomorrow - ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you aint gonna live if for me
There's no tomorrow

Bad habbit / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
Hey man you know I'm really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I'm in my car
Don't give me no crap
Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
When I go driving I stay in my lane
But getting cut off makes me insane
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
I guess I got a bad habbit
Of blowin' away
Yeah I got a bad habbit
And it ain't goin' away yeah
Well they say the road's a dangerous place
If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
You drive on my ass
Your foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last
I guess I got a bad habbit
Of blowin' away
Yeah I got a bad habbit
And it ain't goin' away yeah
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
I guess I got a bad habbit
Of blowin' away
Yeah I got a bad habbit
And it ain't goin' away yeah
-------------------------------------------------------
Gotta get away / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
I'm getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin' and they're closing in
Too fast or a bit slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
There's one guy that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I tell you something just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends cause they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
If you reason, don't you know
You're own preoccupation is where you'll go
I think I'm being followed, I look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me

Genocide / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
Our lives run different ways
Through the rain I see you in the sun
Our star shines anyway
If you wish upon it we are one
1 2 3 4
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we pray
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
I find it such a shame
Through the pain I see things as they are
We're served up on a plate
The pedestal is high enough to fall
And it is fine
We can see the errors of our ways
Would anyone change it anyhow
Our time is up
1 2 3 4
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we pray
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we pray
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
I bet you'd only run
If you saw what goes inside our own
I bet you'd lead the way
If it were up to you to decide
But it's not
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we pray
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we pray
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
Like a silver flame
Like a suicide
Like a @killing bug@

Something to believe in / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
I believe that reality's gone
Disillusion's real
I believe that morality's gone
And there's nothing to feel
If you take the sacret things
The things that we hold dear
Empty promise is all you'll find
So give me something
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
I believe in a changing of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See it happen in your own backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all and make your own
And give me something
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Where they lead
You will follow
Well I guess that's just the way it goes
And if you look away
You'll be doing what they say
And if you look alive
You'll be singled out and tried
If you take home everything
Let it be your will to think
The more cynical you become
The better off you'll be
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in

Come out and play (keep 'em separated) / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
You gotta keep 'em separated
Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up
Bask it up
Bask it up
Bask it up
Hey - man you're talking back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you're disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope
Tie your own rope
Tie your own
Hey - man you're talking back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you're disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope
Tie your own rope
Tie your own
Hey - man you're talking back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you're disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play

Self esteem / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over - I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care Right?
Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care Right?
-------------------------------------------------------
It'll be a long time / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
All this time has whittled away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
All they want is what they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes all again
Heard it all before
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
Well if they tried
Maybe they'd see
It'd do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile
Gets you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move
But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
You gotta make yourself see what you want to see
I say yeah
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come into season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
I've a feeling it'll be a long time

Hard as a rock

What happened to you? / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
What in the world happened to you?
Before you started tokin'
You used to have a brain
But now you don't even get the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just don't understand
Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you
It's bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know that's something else
I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just don't understand
Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you
Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to the refrain from just facing your life
So I'll see you man tomorrow
You'll be gackin' up again
I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spend
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
I try to explain but you just don't understand
Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to
What in the world happened to you

So alone / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
Look at the crowd and tell me whether
All are surrounded
But none are together
If you're awake, look all around
At all of the people
Still you're so alone
So alone
So alone
So alone
If I could, I'd make a suggestion
Without sounding preachy
Or begging the question
Melt with your minds
Melt with each other
Don't be surrounded
Don't be so alone
So alone
So alone
So alone
Kill
Fuck off
Hate
Die
-------------------------------------------------------
Not the one / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
But now I deal with all the consequence that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
Yeah I'm innocent
But the weight of the world is on my shoulders
Yeah I'm innocent
But the battles started are far from over
We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
Still we grow and then the problems they become our own
We carry on without even realizing why
Yeah we're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
Yeah we're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over
Yeah we're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
Yeah we're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over
Yeah we're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
Yeah we're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over
We're ot the ones who's pollution blackened our skies and ruined
our streams
We're not the ons who made the nuclear bombs that threaten our
lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

Smash / Offspring (S.M.A.S.H.)
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I've held it all in with blood on my face
Build it up man so bad you can taste
I don't slag no one
I don't even judge
Don't give a shit cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't fuck if it's good enough for you
I'm not a trendy asshole
I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
I don't fuck if it's good enough for you
Cause I'm alive
Cause I'm alive
Cause I'm alive

Mouth for war / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
Revenge. I'm screaming revenge again
Wrong. I've been wrong for far too long
Been constantly so frustrated, I've moved
mountains with less. When I channel my
hate to productive. I don't find it hard to
impress
bones in traction
hands break to hone raw energy
bold and disastrous, my ears can't
hear what yo say to me
hold your mouth for the war
use it for what it's for
speak the truth about me
determined
Possessed. I feel a conquering will down inside me
strenght. The strength of many to crush who might stop me
My strength is in number and my soul
lies in every one. The releasing of anger,
can better, any medicine under the sun
bones in traction
hands break to hone raw energy
bold and disastrous, my ears can't
hear what yo say to me
hold your mouth for the war
use it for what it's for
speak the truth about me
determined
There comes a time within everyone to close your eyes to what's real
No comprehension to fail. I vaccum the wind for my sail
can't be the rest, let others waste my time, owning
success is in the bottom line
like a knife into flesh. after life is to death
pulling and punching the rest of duration
no one can piss on this determination
-------------------------------------------------------
A new level / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
now a new look in my eyes my spirit rise
forget the past, present tense works an@g/c@la@s?@es
got shit on, pissed on, spit on, stepped on, fucked with,
pointed at by lesser men
new life in place of old life, unscarred
by trials
a new level of confidence and power
demanding plea for unity between us all-
united stand, death before, divided fall
in mock military order, vulgar, power, impatient
because time is shorter
new life in place of old life, unscarred
by trials
a new level of confidence and power
no fucking surrender
can't lose
life kills
-------------------------------------------------------
Walk / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
Cn't you see I'm easily bothered by persistance
one step from lashing out on you
you want in to get under my skin and call your-
self a friend. I've got more friends like you
what do I do?
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
you can't be something you're not
be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from
the dawn of time
respect, walk
Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy
to achieve. You cry to weak friends that
sympathise. Can you hear the violins play-
ing your song? those same friends tell
me your every word
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
you can't be something you're not
be yourself, by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from
the dawn of time
respect, walk
are you talking to me?
No way punk
-------------------------------------------------------
Fucking hostile / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
Almost every day I see the same face on broken picture to be
it fits the attitude
If you could see yourself, you put you on a shelf, your verbal
masturbate, pomise to nausiate
Today I'll play the part of non-parent, not make a hundred rules
for you to know about yourself
Not lie and make you believe what's evil is making love, and
making friends, and meeting God your own way, the right
way
(chorus)
to see, to bleed, cannot be taught
In turn, you're making us fucking hostile
we stand alone
the truth in right and wrong, the boundaries of the law, you
seem to miss the point, arresting for a joint?!
you seem to wonder why hundreds of people die, you're writing
tickets man, my mom got jumped, they ran!
Now I'll play a public servant, to serve and protect by the
law and the state
I'd bust the punks that rape, steal and murder, and
leave you be, if you crossed me, I'd shake your hand
like a man, not a god
to see, to bleed, cannot be taught
In turn, you're making us fucking hostile
we stand alone
come meet your maker boy, some things you can't
enjoy, because of heaven/hell, a fucking wives tale
They put it in your head, then put you in your bed, he's
watching say your prayers, cause' God is everywhere
now I'll play a man learning priesthood, who's about
to take the ultimate test in life. I'd question
things because I am human, and call no one
my father who's no closer than a stranger
I won't listen
to see, to bleed, cannot be taught
In turn, you're making us fucking hostile
we stand alone
-------------------------------------------------------
This love / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
if ever words were spoken, painful and untrue
I said I loved but I lied
In my life, all I wanted was the keeping of someone like you
as it turns out, deeper within me, love was twisted and pointed
at you
-never ending pain, quickly ending life-
you keep this love, thing, child, toy
you keep this love, fist, scar, break
you keep this love
I'd been the tempting one, stole her from herself
this gift in pain, her pain was life
and sometimes, I feel so sorry, I regret this the hurting of
you
But you make me so unhappy, I'd take my life and leave love
with you
-I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself-
you keep this love, thing, child, toy
you keep this love, fist, scar, break
you keep this love
No more head trips
-------------------------------------------------------
Rise / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
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 mother fucking
world
Mass prediction, unification breathing life
into our lungs. Every creed and every kind
to give us @@ for strength
Taught when we're young to hate one another
It's time to have a new reighn of power. Make
pride universal so no one gives in, turn our
backs on those who oppose. Then when con-
fronted we ask them the question. What's
wrong with their minds? What's wrong with
your mind?
It's time to rise
we've lived with past mistaked. And we've lived
with our own forgive. Forget, forgive, be a
man, not a child. There are no tears for
peace, or the common sympathizes educate,
reinstate, educate. A thing of past, the
trouble is the states
Taught when we're young to hate one another
It's time to have a new reighn of power. Make
pride universal so no one gives in, turn our
backs on those who oppose. Then when con-
fronted we ask them the question. What's
wrong with their minds? What's wrong with
your mind?
It's time to rise
-------------------------------------------------------
No good (attack the radical) / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
In the states there's a problem with race because of
ignorant past burned fires
From evolution we've been killing each other, I figure man
should have it down to a science
No chance, not for a minute, not for a second, I won't be
defensive, I'm straight out in my opinion. You'd better
listen to a man who knows what he's saying. I've seen
you side. You run and hide for the mere fact that you feel
inferior. Be superior, and know, your, interior
Race, pride, prejudice
Black man, white man, no stand
live in the past, we make it last, a hated mass
no solution, mind pollution, for revolution
So low behold my eyes, this land of fools will ride
no good, for no one
You blaim oppression and play the role of criminals, to rape
and burn show progress is minimal
White hoods and militants you know it's such a pity, living,
breathing, violence in your city
If one man, had one home, in one world, he'd live
alone without variety, full of anxiety, no one to point at,
question, or even talk to - in his private grave. No matter
what color, he wouldn't be saved from hell, he dwells, a
closed mind playing the part of prison cells
Race, pride, prejudice
Black man, white man, no stand
live in the past, we make it last, a hated mass
no solution, mind pollution, for revolution
So low behold my eyes, this land of fools will ride
no good, for no one
-------------------------------------------------------
Live in a hole / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
Full of grief I screamat the wind, though I heard
the words of others
imprison myself, and stay in a shell, I won't let
you in to have a story to tell
Things tend to drag me down, don't understand so
they hate me now
My fear grips the will of stone
My grip fears I'll die alone
I promised myself somewhere in teenage life
I'd never submit to the ones I will not be like
Live in a hole, but stay close to my kind, cause
they understand what burns in my mind
I still feel incomplete, friends are few and
far between
My fear grips the will of stone
My grip fears I'll die alone
-------------------------------------------------------
Regular people (conceit) / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
I've tra@mi@led on that road, that you think you own. You have
that 'smart ass' attitude, it's time to stop the fiction
I live it every day, while your mind's far away. I'm out here
putting pride on the line, and you @case@ on me with pure
respect. One change at one thing, hard time is coming.
My time, your pain, I reign on you
You think you own, I take away
take it with me
You think you own, I took away
make it my own
Most regular people would say it's hard
and any streetwise son of a bitch knows, don't fuck with
this
Then so many times, you practise in your mirror, to be
just like me, but you just can't see, you aint got the balls son
I fight for love of brother, your friends fight one another
You can't see because your head's up your ass, and just in
case you think you're bad, I crush your rush, I rule you
fool. I'm immovable stone in your world of weak - I speak
You think you own, I take away
take it with me
You think you own, I took away
make it my own
Most regular people would say it's hard
and any streetwise son of a bitch knows, don't fuck with
this
-------------------------------------------------------
By demons be driven / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
serving the faith, abduction the oath
it lie in wait for the offering. Religion is
old, for drawing the young, purity
withers and dies. Never return to the
ones that provided. Children draining
parents of will. I hold out my hand to
bloodless child, I'm taken by the one I
was saving, from death
By demons be driven
Beckon the call
With decline in mind, end not far, we're
left hanging alone here. He pulls us from
@nazis/katis@, shatteres our dones, leaving us crip-
pled and strewn. Boiling my corpse in
the blood of his children, praying for
his god to prevail. Burying us with
loved ones, to sleep with shelled child-
ren of the sixth dimension
By demons be driven
Beckon the call
-------------------------------------------------------
Hollow / Pantera (Vulgar display of power)
What's left inside him? Don't he remember us?
Can't he believe me? we seemed like brothers
talked for hours last month, about what we
wanna be. I sit now with his hand in mine,
but I know he can't feel ...
No one knows, what's done is done, it's
as if he were dead
I'm close with his mother, and she cries end-
lessly. Lord how we miss him. At least
what's remembered. It's so important to
make best friends in life. but it's hard when
my friend sits with blank expressions
No one knows, what's done is done, it's
as if he were dead
He as hollow as I alone, now
He as hollow as I alone. A shell of my friend
just flesh and bone, there's no soul, he sees
no love. I shake my fists at skies above
Mad at God
He as hollow as I converse, I wish he'd
waken from this curse. Hear my words
before it's through. I want to come in
after you
My best friend
He as hollow as I alone
-------------------------------------------------------
Peacefull day / Pennywise (About time)
Listen up everyone - there's something wrong
We got the answers in our sights now
But somehow still we struggle along
Looking for solutions in a threatening sky
But we never get an answer,
Just a chorus of voices wondering why
We're stuck here - without a peacefull day
It's a promise in the night, I'll be O.K.
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
Won't someone tell me how will I make it through today
Looking towards the future - and all I can see
Is the next generation - looking back
With a pity on me
Hunting for some insight - or a means to change
But do we have the will to - or will our
future look the same
How can I love - when you won't let me in
How can I die - without reasons why
How can I laugh - when I want to cry
How can I go on - with nothing nowhere
How will I make it
-------------------------------------------------------
Waste of time / Pennywise (About time)
I got a question for all you sinners
Have you ever wondered is this all there is to life?
A quick adventure - not much to mention
A slow procession leading us to die
Or is there a heaven - a distant valley
A golden meadow waiting for us in the sky
No one right answer - spirit seems broken
Still I just can't help but wonder why
Seems like a tragic waste of time
Who cares what happens when you die?
Life's too short to wonder why
Get on with your life
In towering churches - and holy temples
They all conspired - to tell me how to live my life
But no religion - or new @theism@
Could ever provide proof to quench my mind
And now I wonder - who's sky I'm under
Is there a heaven - waiting for me when I die
No one right answer - spirit seems broken
And still I can't help but wonder why
So many questions I can't tell the difference
Too many abstract thoughts now wrestle in my mind
But through the darkness somewhere should be waiting
A final thruth to shower me with light
Their pearls of wisdom - and tales of glory
They fed me nicely until I found it was all a lie
No one right answer - spirit seems broken
And still I can't help but wonder why
-------------------------------------------------------
Perfect people / Pennywise (About time)
All the perfect people - shallow and decietfull
Staring back at me in TV in magazines
Look so good like a box of fresh wrapped twinkies
What the hell happened to me?
So I took a drive to a rich and wealthy country
Saw everything I wanted and everything I need
Went right up and I tried to join their party
You oughta seen the look when they saw me
Fucked up eyes - stupid grin
Perfect people won't let me in
Who's who list - where's my name
The won't let me join their game
I bet you think that I'm insane
There's no one left for me to blame
Screw the perfect people
Fuck they all look the same
We're not much to look at
Too short, dumb and so fat
Never gonna win a beauty pageant it's a curse
Always gonna be a better doorman
At the best clubs
How could things be any worse?
Don't have much to go on don't want your opinions
Don't have much to gain and I ain't got much to lose
Looks like you got it all and I'd really like to
Get some
You got something I could use
-------------------------------------------------------
Every single day / Pennywise (About time)
See all the people - longing to be
Living their lives regretlessly
Trying to repress the pain in their lives
Reassuring themselves - living with lies
No way to break through - not on my own
Can't push away all the sorrow I've known
Have to release every thought ot care
And take control life is a dare
I can start over today
Live my life a different way
Can't find a way to erase bad times to make everything OK
I'll start over and live - every single day
Regrets and memories - no remorse - no appologies
No reason for me to despair - no future at all ask if I care
I got time - on my side - twenty-four hours in my life
Can't hang on to what's in my past
Full speed ahead - hard and fast
At the end with each dropping sun
Can't erase what has been done who cares
What happened long ago - I don't want to know
Can't face tomorrow with these thoughts of yesterday
I can't escape the lies and make them go away
Wish I had the answers to help me make it through
Can't shake these images no matter what I do
I guess I'll use them to make a stronger man
I'll use each
Twisted tortured memory to help me understand
Abd I will learn
From mistakes that everyone makes - I've got
To find a way
I guess I'll have to live with them - evrey single day
-------------------------------------------------------
Searching / Pennywise (About time)
Can't run - can't hide
No one here gets out alive
It don't get better that's the best you gonna get
The deal is in now place your bets
Can't eat - can't sleep
Knowing that nothings gonna satisfy me
Another blip on a television screen
Among an ocean of stars
Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
The tide is turning my way
You should know better than to fuck with me
Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
You best get outta my way
I'm not gonna fade away slowly
Inside - my mind - is a clock tick-tocking time
Not gonna stop until my last day's done
You wanna try me well come get some
Tempt fate - can't wait
I gotta get out there's no time to hesitate
Not gonna waste it with the cynical fools
Can't bring me down
And if you want to try this disposition
Sacrifice all you knew
Sanitize your religion
Take you life and renew and do what you wanna do
-------------------------------------------------------
Not far away / Pennywise (About time)
Hey - it's my time
To change my direction in life just by reading the signs
Hey - it's my turn
To see how many of my bridges will burn
I feel something breathing down my neck
Thoughts of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck
No time for sorrow - it's your judgment day
It's not far away - it's not far away
There's a shinny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
It's not far away
Hey - I got something to say
Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away
I'm not gonna end my life
Wishing for one more chance again to get it right
I hear voices echo from the grave
Whispering softly - it's your judgment day
Hey - I won't rest in peace
Until this world is sick of hearing from me
Hey - get outta my way
I got a lot more living to do before my judgment day
-------------------------------------------------------
Freebase / Pennywise (About time)
I got some shit for sale you ought to get some
You'll be the highest guy who ever lived
It might kill you man you won't even know it
I can feel your best sense starting to give
You take the chance you lose control
The lessons from your past you need to know
Take one more hit of base
That shit is gonna blow up in your face
Ripping glass shards through your heart
You got a problem man you ough to fix it
You think you're getting high well guess again
Until it's too late well you won't even know it
You better stop before you hit a dead end
When I see you out on the street
A different story every time we meet
You been hanging with a different crowd
Your acting tough and your talking loud
It's getting worse for you every single day
A bad habbit and it won't go away
Where you gone where's my best friend
I can't help you cause you won't let me in
-------------------------------------------------------
It's what you do with it / Pennywise (About time)
Too much time in this same place got to get out
An undenying feeling - I gotta get away
Too many thoughts in one space - I've finally had it
A dream now takes me to a secret place that lies
So far away
It's what you do with it - it's what you've waited for
And when you find it - a place where no one has been before
I know I've gotta listen to my mind 'cause if it happens to me
I'm sure it happens to you sometimes
Find a place you can go - where nobody knows
You should listen to yourslef sometimes
I'm sure it happens to you - I know it happens to me sometimes
Find a place you can go - where nobody knows
Nobody knows
Gone and without a trace - I'd like to have it
Taking only with me - good dreams of yesterday
And my best friends with whom I'll share
This journey
Our mental bags are packed cause we're leaving
Here today
It's what you do with it
It's what you've waited for
-------------------------------------------------------
Try / Pennywise (About time)
You've been looking for me in the most obvious places
Still I'm nowhere to be found
I'm perched atop the tallest buildings in the city
And I'm intrigued as I look down
All the ants below share the same comfortable existance
But they still wear the same frown
What a shame that they can't see the beauty
That's surrounding them when there's so much all around
Try - don't choose to walk away
There's a part within your soul it just takes time to find it
When you - try - take the time and seize the day
Cause after today's game
You'll never have the chance again
So try
While I sit here with so many thoughts
I'm listening to the rain
Falling to the ground
I'm just hoping one day soon all tyhe unhappy people find
Solace in the sound
And listen to the old cliches that all the elders say
That life goes by too fast
I just wish there was some way that I could stop the clock
And make the good times last
Don't throw it all away - no one day's the same
You must realize - it's all in your mind
don't emphasize the pain - on one particular day
If you feel you're starting to slide
Just pull yourself together
Remember all that matters is you try
-------------------------------------------------------
Same old story / Pennywise (About time)
It's patience trying - when you tell me how to live
Well you don't know anything
Your expectations are wearing thin
You won't even take a look - to see another way
You aren't even listening
Take your ideals and go away
I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old story
I'm not cut from the same mold
Don't know who you think I should be
I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old story
I'm not cut from the same mold
Done with your's - I'm living my life for me
Tell me father - did I turn out so bad
Didn't I look up to you
Took every piece of advice you had
Go to school - get a job
Send me on your way
You aren't even listening
Take your dreams and go away
For so long I tried to understand
The qualities you thought made up a real man
Now it's time for me to find out for myself
I'm getting fed up I don't need your help
You never listen to both sides of the story
You never listen - you won't listen to me
-------------------------------------------------------
I won't have it / Pennywise (About time)
A model brother - a model dad
A model citizen has somehow turned out bad
Pledging allegiance to another flag
Lifelog devotion to a man they think was far from mad
The written word from they think their peers
A little propaganda they became white warriors
Bred on deception and bred on fear
They don't hear the barrage of lies
That pass right through their ears
When your head feels like it's real close to imploding
And your life is revolving around hate
All that shit your brain is overloading
With help from papers and magazines
Another sheltered boy chooses what he will not see
Views so distorted how can this be
WHen the love for hate is the basis for reality
Another headline another bash
Another harmless victim beaten up and not for cash
Insanity well when wil it end - if you don't give it up
You'll never have the chance to make amends
You cannot keep it all inside
You've got to leave it all behind
You got a bullet in your head (z. de la rocha)
It's time to make a stance now make it
A bloody picture - psychotic dream
Choosing to follow the worst lesson in all history
Just get a future yeah get a life - cause if you don't
Instead of mourning they'll be celebrating when you die
-------------------------------------------------------
Killing time / Pennywise (About time)
On my TV - violent images flash across my screen
A world of hate - staring at the rise in murder rate
I cna't believe what we've become
Is all hope lost to everyone
A battered wife - waits for us to hear
Her screams tonight
A child of war - wonders what we're all fighting for
I look and think how can this be?
What causes all our suffering?
Eyes wide open we can't see
I can't understand - it's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
Killing time - we're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
A ruthless gang - teaches all kids to act insane
Religions right - is buying up guns for
A hell of a fight
Another victim lies in pain -
A serail killer waits for fame
Have we all gone insane?
I can't understand - it's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
I can't believe - there's got to be -
Some way to break through
I think that I - will have to try - or I'll lose my mind
We're all killing time
Why?
-------------------------------------------------------
Fight till you die / Pennywise (Full circle)
Look all around you there's no way that's going on
A struggle against the odds that's breaking out and must be won
They're getting ready with the weapons they have found
Take inspiration from the sound
See it in the faces of the people everyday
We need to take control and find some ammo right away
our cause is righteous and we're gonna have our say
Get ready for the judgement day
Go ahead and try
Or kiss your ass good-bye
People of society are running for their lives
Get up now and go
Or your never gonna know
Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try
Give it all and fight till you die
Fight till you die
A puppet government their dying in the streets
Families are breaking up cause underpaids can't make ends meet
The establishment has put their money underground
Cause they all know what's comming down
A luckey precious few with money in their banks
Can't imagine what it's like to find youself in homeless ranks
They've got no conscience for the ones who won't survive
The time for payback has arrived
Go ahead and try
Or kiss your ass good-bye
People of society are running for their lives
Get up now and go
Or your never gonna know
Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try
Give it all and fight till you die
Fight till you die
All alone in your own society
Outside are the cries of lives in misery
An evil plot of a false democracy
Subjugating souls just dying to be free
Look all around you there's no way that's going on
A struggle against the odds that's breaking out and must be won
They're getting ready with the weapons they have found
Take inspiration from the sound
Go ahead and try
Or kiss your ass good-bye
People of society are running for their lives
Get up now and go
Or your never gonna know
Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try
Give it all and fight till you die
Fight till you die
Fight till you die
Fight till you die

Date with destiny / Pennywise (Full circle)
A burning plane as it's going down
the last scream before it hits the ground
A lost ship on a raging sea
a blinking distress signal of emergency
A runaway train careening off the tracks
the last breath before a heart attack
The earthquake as it shakes your room
promising falling skies and impending doom
One chance you feel it
before you meet with your destiny
One chance you need it
to come to terms with mortality
All that's important to me
Everything inside of me
All that's trivial will fade and soon recede
you will see when on a date with destiny
Look in the jaws of your own demise
watch your life pass before your eyes
Did you live like a dream come true
or did you just survive? Did you do all you could do?
In a fall from a burning tower
What would you do with just one more hour?
Live that hour out everyday
Like it was your last you'll live much better that way
One chance you feel it
before you meet with your destiny
One chance you need it
to come to terms with mortality
All that's important to me
Everything inside of me
All that's trivial will fade and soon recede
you will see when on a date with destiny
One chance you feel it
before you meet with your destiny
One chance you need it
to come to terms with mortality
All that's important to me
Everything inside of me
All that's trivial will fade and soon recede
When on a date with destiny
You're on a date with destiny
You're on a date with destiny
You're on a date with destiny

Get a life / Pennywise (Full circle)
Wake up with the feeling the whole world has got you down
Pressure that keeps building got you dragging on the ground
Chaos keeps on closing in no answers to be found
Fow what you are feeling now
Danger that surrounds you it gets worse here everyday
Criminals in power want to take your rights away
Never hear you protest they won't let you have your say
Can't find a better way
But you don't try
Just sit there and whine
About your decline
I think it's a pathetic sort of life you choose
methods abused
solutions refused
Well good for you but some day you will lose your life
Without even giving it a try
Depression's the only thing you'll find
Give it one chance before you die
Just got one day to get a life
Everyday procrastinate you won't get very far
Listen to religion try and tell you who you are
Marionettes on TV sets parade across the screen
But you don't know what it all means
Think there is no point in trying to get up each day
When problems that confound only speed your slow decay
Future's relegated to a bland pathetic waste
Cause you can't find a better way
But you don't try
Just sit there and whine
About your decline
I think it's a pathetic sort of life you choose
methods abused
solutions refused
Well good for you but some day you will lose your life
Without even giving it a try
Depression's the only thing you'll find
Give it one chance before you die
Just got one day to get a life
Know you'll never make it you don't even want to try
Waiting for the day when you can curl up and die
Tell anyone who'll listen the world's out to get you
Blame anyone you can you get the life you choose
So when you gonna get a clue?
No one's gonna wait for you
Only you can make it all come true
A never-ending struggle but one day you'll see the light
May not think you'll make it don't give up wihout a fight
Stay fast to aspirations of what you think is right
And fight on with all your might
But you don't try
Just sit there and whine
About your decline
I think it's a pathetic sort of life you choose
methods abused
solutions refused
Well good for you but some day you will lose your life

Society / Pennywise (Full circle)
Society - we all know there's something wrong and we've known it all along
Sincerity - you may think there's no one else till they put you on a shelf
Society - pay your taxes stand in line help them plan for your demise
Society - crush the weak to get your share cause nobody's playing fair
And no one cares
How long you pray
Makes no difference today
When your society devises
How you'll pay
When finding the truth
Makes no difference to you
Anyway you look at it
You're gonna get screwed
You lose
Society - on no one here can get along cause our history's too long
Sincerity - think your going with the flow but you never really know
Society - to all the leaders it's a game and it's making you insane
Society - data patterns are supplied proof to back up all the lies
We're hardly alive
How long you pray
Makes no difference today
When your society devises
How you'll pay
When finding the truth
Makes no difference to you
Anyway you look at it
You're gonna get screwed
You lose
Society - we all know there's something wrong and we've known it all along

Final day / Pennywise (Full circle)
You got a problem you don't know it
Don't know how long you can suffer it
And it burns you can feel it
To the bitter end
It didn't have to be this way
You could have carried on
Another chance for you to test your freedom
Where did it go wrong
Don't know how long it's been inside you
But you weren't feeling right
Together we could always solve your problems
But now you're out of sight
How many times did I ask you
What's going on?
Didn't we have so many thoughts in common
Where did it go wrong?
Ain't no use in denying
With each word spoken you give yourself away
Your troubles are multiplying your lying
And soon you are gonna face
Your final days
Your final days
Your final days
Your final days
Don't know when it's gonna come
Your Final Day
You didn't think that I would notice
I see it in your eyes
The tragic flaw was you forgot to back up
All of your alibies
You kept it hidden deep inside you
How you were feeling then
Did you give all of your time to someone?
Was it time well spent?
Ain't no use in denying
With each word spoken you give yourself away
Your troubles are multiplying your lying
And soon you are gonna face
Your final days
Your final days
Your final days
Your final days
Don't know when it's gonna come
Your Final Day
You got a problem you don't know it
Don't know how long you can suffer it
And it burns you can feel it
Till the bitter end
How many times did I ask you
What's going on?
Didn't we have so many thoughts in common
Where did it go wrong?
All that's hidden within you
Is worth repeating say what you want to say
You got to try and just get through what's in you
Or soon you are gonna face
Your final day
Your final day
Your final day
Your final day
Don't know when it's gonna come
Your Final Day

Broken / Pennywise (Full circle)
Been stuc on the outside since I can't remember when
Got up just long enough for them to beat me down again
They crawl inside my mind hoping there to find ways to be fucking with my head
They'll never get the best of me I'm fughting back until I'm dead
Cause I've been used
Been abused
I've been bruised
I've been broken
And I'm backed up against the wall
But my will to survive can't be stolen
And you can't make me fall
Half-wits and dim pundits try to ruin my good name
Parents and therapists tell me I'm the one to blame
They say "Take it like a man," but I can't understand why they won't leave me alone
Best friends and enemies think I'd do better on my own
Cause I've been used
Been abused
I've been bruised
I've been broken
And I'm backed up against the wall
But my will to survive can't be stolen
And you can't make me fall
When I think I can't go on just want to stay home in my bed
The problems of this fucked up world seem to be locked up in my head
I take a good look around - there's nowhere to be found somewhere to justify my life
Guess I'll just keep on trying so one day I'll get it right
Cause I've been used
Been abused
I've been bruised
I've been broken
And I'm backed up against the wall
But my will to survive can't be stolen
And you can't make me fall
-------------------------------------------------------
Running out of time / Pennywise (Full circle)
People all around us are covering up their eyes
Hard to find the answers believing all the lies
Wonder when we'll stop it when will all of this end
Got one last message to send
We're killing off the planet the end is drawing near
Brother fighting brother a world interned by fear
If we don't try and stop it we slowly start to die
Got this one last chance to trie
If you want a future then you decide
It's crumbling all around you it happens here so many times
Must be some solutions to find a way
If we don't get some answers one day soon you can bet we're going to pay
There's got to be a way
So give us one good sign
To decide whose side we're on
Cause we're running out of time
Millenium upon us and still we are denied
Fruits of public labor unevenly supplied
Prosperity is limited to just a precious few
Only one thing left to do
Ancient spent religions severe to separate
The race into tribes that fight each other system must be replaced
Xenophobic zealots are preparing for war
What is it we're fighting for
If you want a future then you decide
It's crumbling all around you it happens here so many times
Must be some solutions to find a way
If we don't get some answers one day soon you can bet we're going to pay
There's got to be a way
So give us one good sign
To decide whose side we're on
Cause we're running out of time
Nation of hypocrisy discontent and lunacy
Afraid we'll never see the signs
Start the quest to find the truth take no more of this abuse
Or one day they will find you running out of time
Or one day they will find you running out of time
Or one day they will find you running out of time
Or one day they will find you running out of
-------------------------------------------------------
You'll never make it / Pennywise (Full circle)
First you're on a roll and then you lose control
Then you can't decide you think you lost your mind
When you wanna get it but now it is too late
Nothing you can say your anger turns to hate
Your body gets excited preparing for the dance
No time to be afraid nothing is left to chance
Can't avoid the feeling your world's about to end
The secret is revealed one day you'll wake up dead
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You wanna live
You'll never make it
Immortal state of mind but we're the dying kind
Extinguishing the breed throughout all history
Never can surrender you can't give ip the game
Never won the fight ou best prepare to die
When you hear those voices calling you to the grave
Stop wasting all your days start living right away
Or soon you will regret it your chances have all gone
One messgae left to send your life will soon end
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You will be sorry when it's all gone
You've lost your chance to make some history
You've lost the game and now you'll see there's no escape mortality
You think you have a future but you're wrong
You are wrong
You are wrong
You are wrong
You are wrong
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You wanna live
You'll never make it
You'll never make it
You'll never make it
You'll never make it

Every time / Pennywise (Full circle)
Every time I turn around I see places that look so unreal
Every time I try to say exactly how I feel
And when I look at you I see a different side each and every time
I try to find another place there's nothing I can find
I wanna say feel it slipping away
It happens every time you're in my mind
I want to say thinks that to you are true
But I'm not sure about you
I'll never be who you want me to be
Gotta take some time in my life
Won't ever know until I try
I just gotta know why
Wouldn't you like all the best things out of life?
All you got to do is just try then run from your life
All you gotta do is what's best for you
All you gotta do is get through and run for your life
The silence speaks to me a voice that seems so far away
The unheard cries of unwanted lives I hear them everyday
Left in this sullen room I search for things that I can find
To hold on to to help me through nothing can be divined
I wanna say feel it slipping away
It happens every time you're in my mind
I want to say thinks that to you are true
But I'm not sure about you
I'll never be who you want me to be
Gotta take some time in my life
Won't ever know until I try
I just gotta know why
Wouldn't you like all the best things out of life?
All you got to do is just try then run from your life
All you gotta do is what's best for you
All you gotta do is get through and run for your life
I just gotta know why
All of these images start crumbling from my memory
I search my mind go back in time to the way things used to be
I wanna say feel it slipping away
It happens every time you're in my mind
I want to say thinks that to you are true
But I'm not sure about you
I'll never be who you want me to be
Gotta take some time in my life
All you gotta do is get it right so run for your life
Run for your life
-------------------------------------------------------
Nowhere fast / Pennywise (Full circle)
And so you spread you lies, won't face reality
And endless fight a struggle to be free
Close minded fools and their hypocrisy
The endless time you take away from me
I don't need your sympathy
Why do you think you're better than me
Idleness antipathy
Why do you want to stop our scene
Your way of life the paths you choose
You will never try so you can only lose
Broken mirrors shattered glass
You can sell your soul but you're going nowhere fast
Nowhere fast
And so you exercise your own free will
I exercise my fucking right to kill
Your vicious lies you propagate you swill
Of your whole kind I've had my fill
I don't need your sympathy
Why do you think you're better than me
Idleness antipathy
Why do you want to stop our scene
Your way of life the paths you choose
You will never try so you can only lose
Broken mirrors shattered glass
You can sell your soul but you're going nowhere fast
Nowhere fast
You're so transparant you don't think I can see right through you
All your venom directed reflected right back on yourself
Give your opinion to anyone who will listen to you
But I just wish you would just give it to someone else
All I get from you is some bullshit attitude
I see it in your eyes but you don't realize
I'm waiting for the day when you'll see a better way
We may not be so kind to you next time
And so you spread your lies, won't face reality
And endless fight a struggle to be free
Close minded fools and their hypocrisy
I've got ideals you can't take away from me
Your way of life the paths you choose
You will never try so you can only lose
Broken mirrors shattered glass
You can sell your soul but you're going nowhere fast
Nowhere fast
Nowhere fast
Nowhere fast
Nowhere fast

What if I / Pennywise (Full circle)
I've heard it all before
Could hear it all a thousand times more
Playing with me all the time
No one feels the same
And sanity is all a game
Locked up deep inside my mind
Hey Die
You want an aliby
Hey Quit
You want to get a fix
Hey Try
You'll never make it tonight
You can feel it deep inside
All of the illusions about myself
What if I try to make amends for someone else
What if I try to change te way I'm feeling deep inside
What if I die filled with sorrow wnnting another try
No one can face the truth
Was there nothing more that you could do?
What would you do different next time?
Keep turning from the past
The future's comming much too fast
Or is it all in my mind
Hey Die
You want an aliby
Hey Quit
You want to get a fix
Hey Try
You'll never make it tonight
You can feel it deep inside
All of the illusions about myself
What if I try to make amends for someone else
What if I try to change te way I'm feeling deep inside
What if I die filled with sorrow wnnting another try
Wnnting another try
Wnnting another try
Wnnting another try
Hey Die
You want an aliby
Hey Quit
You want to get a fix
Hey Try
You'll never make it tonight
Wanting another try
Wnnting another try
Wnnting another try
Wnnting another try to get it right

Go away / Pennywise (Full circle)
A world full of pollution a shit infested sea
We'll make our own solutions take 'em down make 'em see
You can't dump in the ocean waste from your endless greed
Come to our own conclusions must unite to be free
Cause Salvation's on it's way
When we are united there is nothing standing in our way
Gonna have our own agenda and we're gonne have our say
You're never gonna stop us we're never gonna go away
Go away
Go away
We're never gonna go away
Corporations run the nation we have to make a stance
Let's start a revolution if we can't no one can
We must be represented or it's not democracy
Let's put our minds together and soon comes victory
Cause Salvation's on it's way
When we are united there is nothing standing in our way
Gonna have our own agenda and we're gonne have our say
You're never gonna stop us we're never gonna go away
Go away
Go away
We're never gonna go away
What good is government when they just want to govern me?
We'll make our own decisions take 'em down make 'em see
We got to stand together we gotta make some noise
Now @@we're gonna@@ change the system @@@@@@@
Cause Salvation's on it's way
When we are united there is nothing standing in our way
Gonna have our own agenda and we're gonne have our say
You're never gonna stop us we're never gonna go away
Go away
Go away

Did you really / Pennywise (Full circle)
Tell me all your problems
I'll save your soul
It could make you feel better
But you never really know
Don't give up on tomorrow
Save your scene
It may not get any better
Trying isn't free
Offer up solutions
Do what you wanna do
Remove all of the people who tell you lies
About what you're going through
But did you really wanna die
This question now keeps repeating in my mind
A shot heard in the night an unheard cry a fatal fight
But did you really wanna die
What did you hope to find
Did you want to find the answers somewhere floating in the night
Did you really wanna die?
Tell me I'm forgiven
Save my soul
One thing I've regretted
Is I'll never really know
Value what's been given
To you and me
How many times have we said it
Living isn't free
Offer up solutions
Do what you wanna do
Remove all of the people who tell you lies
About what you're going through
But did you really wanna die
This question now keeps repeating in my mind
A shot heard in the night an unheard cry a fatal fight
But did you really wanna die
What did you hope to find
Did you want to find the answers somewhere floating in the night
Did you really wanna die?
Don't think you can make it I can understand
A phone call far away to lend a helping hand
Don't think I can make it
Give it one more try
Don't think I can take it
Can't believe you'd really wanna die
I'd help you give it one more try
Did you really wanna die?
Help you give it one more try
I know you didn't wanna die
From words that you would write
Now they're the only thing that helps me make it through the night
I know you didn't wanna die

Bro hymn tribute / Pennywise (Full circle)
To our best friend, Present past and beyond
Even though you weren't with us too long
Your life is the most precious thing we could lose
While you were here fun was never ending
Laugh a minute only the beginning
Jason (my brother) Matthew Thrisk, this one's for you
(crowd chorus)
Ever got the feeling you can't go on
Just remember whose side it is you're on
You've got friends with you till the end
If you're ever in a tough situation
We'll be there with no hesitation
Brotherhoods our rule that cannot bend
(crowd chorus)
When you're feeling too close to the bottom
You know who it is you can count on
Someone will pick you up again
We can conquer anything together
All of us are bonded forever
If you die I die that's the way it is
(crowd chorus)
To our best friend, Present past and beyond
Even though you weren't with us too long
Your life is the most precious thing we could lose
While you were here fun was never ending
Laugh a minute only the beginning
Jason (my brother) Matthew Thrisk, this one's for you
(crowd chorus X 3)
-------------------------------------------------------
Daily mutilation / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
We were just a pair of dice when I let you in
And the numbers were alingned as the wheel grinned
And the centre of your eyes was a lucid lake
And the little trust I gave was a big mistake
It's a daily mutilation as I walk along with you
A daily mutilation and a ludgeoning review
A daily mutilation and I'd like to see it through
But a daily mutilation
A daily mutilation just won't do
And the water doesn't work and the pipes are iced
And the bread is full of holes and it's never sliced
And your kindly downward stares live in a weather vane
And the wind would like to know who's going to cut the vein
It's a daily mutilation as I walk along with you
A daily mutilation and a bloody shade of blue
Extra, extra, bleed all about
Bleed all about it
-------------------------------------------------------
Ontario / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
When I told you what you wanted to know
You said: "Take me to Ontario"
When I showed you what you wanted to see
You said; "The flower that you planted in me has gone dry"
Big birds flying overhead, who gives a shit?
When I showed you what I wanted to build
And all the enemies would never be killed
There'll be a saint living under the stairs
So we'll be free from our material cares
Black point on the walls in summer, it's cool, it's cool
I wanna go, I wanna go - to Ontario
When I asked you; "Why Ontario?"
You said; "It sounds good on the radio"
Black birds flying overhead, waiting for someone to die
-------------------------------------------------------
Throwaway / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
I remember giving up the gory details
And it left me tongue-tied (such an elementary sickness)
Now I don't want to think and I don't want to feel
I wasn't aware this was part of the deal
When I put my finger on a greater expectation
But just my luck, I lack the patience of a statesman
And all of my language will fail to convey
That I'm terribly twisted around what I say
And the message that I threw away
So I keep hiding and it only grows to hurt me
But time is wasting and I'm watching it desert me
I'm digging a hole and I'm making it deep
And I'm starting to question the hours I keep
And the answer that I put to sleep
And so I'm writing with the hope that someone's reading
For all too likely runs the risk of me repeating
But I don't have the guts to prevent the decay
And I'm terribly twisted around what I say
And the courage that I threw away
I don't have it now
-------------------------------------------------------
Please return it / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
Now, now is the time
Time to reckon
Time to beckon, be surprised
Like a letter
I just send it, please return it, just forget it
When we live the life we live
It's never ours completely
Not completely
Like a movie, like a style, please return it, please return it
Like a favor, like a glance, please return it, please return it
8, 8 is the hour
Hour of our trials, ours too sickening to live
Please return it
Put it back, I take it back, I can burn it
When you let me live my life
You didn't do it completely but you were discreet
Like the year I spend comparing me to you
Like a servant, like a sewer
There's an 'upside' - there has to be an 'upside'
When you took me by surprise
That's half the fun of everything
Do you miss the point like I do?
In the certainty of friendships you can ask
Bring the balance back to you
In returning
-------------------------------------------------------
Hate song / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
Don't look around at the scenery today
'Cuz you probably won't understand it
Don't settle down in a permanent way
'Cuz you haven't the right to demand it
I'm writing you a hate song
I don't want to have to hold your hand
I'm writing you a hate song
And I'm hoping that you'll understand
Let it be said that it hasn't been said
When there wasn't the will to unearth it
Relive the germs, to awaken the worms
Just to ask them if it's worth it
So let's get one thing straight
The halls have narrowed, leaving aphids in the marrow . . .
So you say so
And I say what
And the difference isn't worth debating
I never wanted to be mud in the face
But I couldn't've known what was waiting
-------------------------------------------------------
Precious moments / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
The bloodless foil
The endless fail
You'll never see your home again
Everytime you dail that phone
It rings like it's got no end
Life, what precious moments
And it's only getting worse
The mud'filled cracks
Of rutted tracks
You'll never see your mother again
Everytime you dig that grave
Why do you bother trying to fill it in?
I hate to see what trials can be expected of the ordinary
Before you can recoil in horror
You discover life is life's destroyer
We've all got some blood for brothers
Why do we never share it with other
Sisters pure - the vein is sure
You'll never hear music again
That's enough
Don't waste your time - I can't hear you
-------------------------------------------------------
Fight it (if you want) / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
There isn't time to tell you all that you need to know
But I get as scared as any and I wish it wasn't so
And I don't like it
Anymore than you do
But you'd better hold in spite of doubt
Left swinging to the right
Never lose what you found out
You can fight it if it doesn't kill you
You can fight it if you want to fight
We're going to make a listing of all the thing we don't need
And then we will weon them slowly, all the fears we feed
But you'd better hold in spite of doubt
Sense swinging out of sight
-------------------------------------------------------
Everybody is a fucking liar / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
Everyone I know is trying to get in this show
Everybody is a fucking liar
Time & time again
Whoever's in the room is your friend
There's no mercy here
A mercy killing of object fear
Act brave in the press
Conventionality's what I detest
And you who reject masculinity
Baby, I'm with you
As soon as you forsake virility and aggression too
Back off in disgust
Must honesty jeopardize trust?
Is everybody such a fucking liar?
Damsels in dismay
A man's on Edsel in his own way
And just as God in his infinite infancy thinks he's in control
That's when God in his infinite infancy
Decides to damn our souls
Let's throw it all in
And think of places to back up & begin
To build something higher
-------------------------------------------------------
World / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
It's another detachment
Same arrangement, different placement
I'm the saddest of moments
All alone in my unspoken
I was dying to feel you
To be in you, and to heal you
I was grieving the distance
Realizing my insistance
And I see the only real I know I feel I have it all
You are the world, you are the world
You're the only world
We were such an amazement
When I found you in the basement
Spent a night on the ceiling
What a feeling, what a feeling
-------------------------------------------------------
Grant hart / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
I can't cry, I can't apply a word to sum it up
Under stress I can't repress the moment it erupts
Hear the sound of paper drums and shredded paper voice
Got to turn up 'Keep Hanging On' as if I had a choice
Prairie fires and pitchfork choirs inspire as they create
Turn it up, it's too far down, until we can relate
Minnesota new day rising first day in the store
Take the couch at someone's house and wait around to score
Nervous children making millions; you owe it all to them
Power trios with big-ass deals; you opened for it then
I can see it all with my one good eye
For a start take two Grant Harts & call me when you die

Broken record / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
Sunny day at the oasis
As the roasted take their places
And the undertaker mumbles
"You're screwing it wrong ..."
Like a broken record
Sir Repetitious
What a beauty to be needled
The new position's looking fetal
So take a letter, sayonora
We're putting you on ...
-------------------------------------------------------
The certainty / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
Here's how to understand your friends
It's been like six years of the same thing
Nothing can be believed unless you say it
Nothing but good times up ahead for you
Here's how to occupy your mind
Take some skills and learn to build a reason
Nothing can be perceived 'til you betray it
Nothing but fine times up ahead for you
And if we build a car that drives on empty eyes
And call it "laughing matter"
Nothing matters
It's all up for you
-------------------------------------------------------
Song # 1 / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
When I see you cry taking on the phone at night
You never tell me why
When it all gets down and you know shit gets around
And rumors are true
I'll never have a friend quite as lovely again
And I'm not responsible for the ending that I know is inevitable
Yes, I understand you're happy now
And I understand your hand-me-down towel
Better to be happy than to never know
Well it pins me to an exaggerated view -
Correct me if I'm wrong
And it's man's best friend & the tin's empty again
Degrade yourself now
I never took a pill that wasn't guaranteed to thrill
And I ought to know you standing up sober
I ought to know your black & white look
I ought to know just like your dad told you
I ought to know mistakes you mistook
You can paint it black, you can use thickest shellac
And still be see through
And with everything I say I mean it in the best way
To have it be true
And it's not impossible for a friend to heed the slack behind
the pull
-------------------------------------------------------
?Will you ever ease your mind? / The Posies (Amazing disgrace)
Will you ever ease your mind
Will you ever wake to find you're burdenless
Will you ever please your mind
Will you ever use a sign that tells you
This is the direction
Now that your perception's finally clearing up ...
Will you ever show your face
Will you ever speak and not feel out of place
Will you ever brave the brine
Will you ever find the time you're missing
Out on what you wanted
Frustration flaunted in your gentle face
I'm sorry that the simplest things are hard to understand
But aurora borealis has been waiting in your hand
Waiting for a plan
Waiting for a beautifull escape
You may never ease your mind
But you will never cease to find me still around ...

Re:iteration / The Shamen (Another drum)
The human history represents such a radical break with the natural systems of
biological orginazation that preceded it, that it must be the response to a
kind of attractor or dwell-point that lies ahead in the temporal dimension.
Persistening western religions have integrated into their theologies the
notion of a kind of end of the world, and I think that a lot of psychedelical
experimentation sort of confirms this intuition. It isn't going to happen
according to many of the scenarios of orthodox religion, but the basic
intuition, that the universe seeks closure in a kind of omegapoint of
transcedence is confirmed. It's almost as though this object in hyperspace,
blithering in hyperspace, throws of reflections of itself which actually
retoucher into the past, eliminating this mistic and spiralling bad sanatory
visionary and that out of these fragmentary glimpses of eternity, we can build
a kind of map of not only the past of the universe and the evolutionary @@@@@,
but a kind of map of the future. This is what shamanism has always been about.
A shaman is someone who has been to the end; it's someone who knows how the
world really works. And knowing how the world really works, means to have
risen outside, above, beyond, the ordinary dimensions of space, time and
@@@@@@@ and actually seen the @@@@@@@, stepped outside the confinements of
learned culture and learned an imbedded language into the domain of, what
Lichtenstein called, the unspeakable, the transcedentic presence of the other,
which can be @obsectioned@ in various ways to yield systems of knowledge which
can be brought back into ordinary social space for the good of the community.
So, in the context of 90% of human culture, the shaman has been the agent of
evolution, because the shamen learned the tecniques to go between ordinary
reality and the domain of the ideas. This higher dimensional continuum that is
somehow parralel to us, available to us, and yet ordinarily occluded by a
cultural convention out of fear of the mystery I believe and what shamans are,
are people who have been able to decondition themselves from the communitys
instinctual distrust of the mystery and to go into it, to go into this
bewildering higher dimension and gain knowledge, recover the jewel lost at the
beginnning of time, save souls, cure, commune with the ancestors and so forth
and so on. A shamanism is not a religion; it's a set of tegniques, and the
principal tegnique is the use of psycedelic plants. What psycedelics do is
they dissolve boundaries, and in the presence of dissolved boundaries one
cannot continue to close one's eyes to the ruination of the earth, the
poisoning of the seas and the consequenses of 2000 years of unchallenged
dominated culture based on monotheas and hatred of nature, suppresion of the
female and so forth and so on. So what shamans have to is is act as exemplares
by making this cosmic journey to the domain of the Gayan ideas and then
bringing them back in the @f...full orend@, to the stuggle to save the world.

And she came to look for me
Sold me name and innocence
Took my key
And told me to follow her
Down from igor with her bangles and her reference
One from the church from the valley of the
Well she wanted a haven and a place to hide
So I gave her an alibi took her inside but
A rock and a hard place await for for me
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
Everything I ever did right or wrong
Hid out of sight where I belong, belong
And I didn't have the heart to tell her
Why
And there wasn't a part of me that
Didn't want to say goodbye but
Cause and effect go hand in hand with
The devil may care but I don't mind and I
Thought she'd never quite understand so I
Left her there that night but will she
Find me? I don't think so, no
When you go, you go alone
And I'm gone.............

Comfortably numb / Sisters of mercy ()
Hello...
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there any one home?
Come on...
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain-
get you on your feet again.
Relax...
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying...
When I was a child, I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand-
This is not how I am...
I have become comfortably numb.
OK...
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more
(aaaaahhhhhh!)
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go...
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying...
When I was child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look, but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
And I have become comfortably numb.

Roll of the thunder
Kiss and the scream

Faith and prayers, wanton dust
Chanting strangers, blood on their cheeks
Haunt my dreams all covered in blood

Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Cut that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness torn and ragged
For the love of god, my dreams look dim
So...

A whisper and a promise lit on fire
Kiss the hand where the angels dread
Love is the corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds
So...

Hold out the heat and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness torn and ragged
For the love of god, my dreams look dim

Driven like the snow / Sisters of mercy ()
Still night, nothing for miles,
White curtain come down,
Kill the lights in the middle of the road
And take a look around...
It don't help to be one of the chosen
One of the few, to be sure
When the weels are spinning around
And the ground is frozen through, and you're
Driven, like the snow
Pure in heart
Driven together
And given
Away to the west
A white dress
'Til the river don't run
A black dress
'Til the sun don't shine no more
Where the sky meet the ground
Where the street fold round
Where the voice you hold don't
Make no sound, look,
Snow on the river and two by two,
Took a lot to live a lot like you, I don't
Go there now, but I hear they sung
Their "Fuck Me And Marry Me Young"
Some wild idea and a big white bed, now
You know better than that, I said,
Like a voice in the wind blows little crystals down
Like brittle things will break before the turn
Like lipstick on my cigarette
And the ice get harder over head
Like think it twice but never never learn...
And the mist will wrap around us
And the crystal, if you touch it...
And the cars
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the people that drive
Lost in the drift
Are there
And the cares I've
Lost in the drift
Are there
Their, ours,
Lost in the drift
Are...
Driven
Driven together
And driven
Apart
-------------------------------------------------------
Driver / Sisters of mercy ()
Lay me down the long white line
Leave the sirens far behind me
Home to weakness
Home to silence
Follow me when the sun goes down
We will find a heartless highway
We will wind the windows down
... me at the mounted towers
Then the marvels, ... friends abound ...
While the wheels go wheeling round and round
Life is short and life is cruel
But we have beer and we have fuel
We are never coming down
Push the creature on it's back
Lines across the middle ...
Houses vacant everafter
Gusting through the cold and shadow
While the ... flashes past
Around we ... the big black car
... touch the sky
... sell your bracelets
We are never coming down
We will be forever wild
The wheels go wheelings round and round
And the wheel ...s come in silence
Follow me when the sun goes down
We will fly along the highway
We will wind the windows down
... me at the mounted towers
When the ... turns around
Reason ... power
While the wheels go wheeling round and round

Emma / Sisters of mercy ()
We were together since we were five
She was so pretty
Emma was a star in everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen
Nobody laughed
With her face like an angel
She could be anything
CHORUS
Emmaline
Emma
Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high on the silver screen
Emmaline
Emma
Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has ever seen
At seventeen
We were wed
And I worked hard to earn our daily bread
And every day
Emma would go out searching for that play
That never, ever came her way
And sometimes she come home and she'd be so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room and be so distressed
And I'd remember back when she was five
To the words that used to make Emmaline come alive
It was...
CHORUS
It was a cold and dark December night
When I opened up the bedroom door
To find her lying
Cold and still upon the bed
A love letter lying on the bedroom floor
IT read,
Darling I love you
But I just can't keep living on dreams no more
I've tried so hard not to leave you alone
But I just can't keep trying no more�
CHORUS
-------------------------------------------------------
First and last and always / Sisters of mercy ()
See a body and a dream of the dead days
A following lost and blind
Living far from here
Tomorrow is hard to find
And it seems like twenty five years of
Promises and give me more
Scenes of a hand-me-down in
Dresses heard before
CHORUS 1
First and last and always: 'til the end of time
First and last and always: Mine [echo]
Maybe it's not so easy
Maybe it's a way to long
Say, say you'll be by me
When the evidence comes along
CHORUS 2
First and last and always: My calling, my time
First and last and always: Mine [echo]
My calling
My time
See a place and a dream of the dead days
A following lost and blind
Cross my heart with silver
Here's the key behind
Seems like twenty five years of
Ever after ever more more more
Seems I wore this face for you
Far too long before
CHORUS 2
CHORUS 1 [x2 and fade]

Flood I / Sisters of mercy ()
And her hallway
Moves
Like the Ocean
Moves
At the head of the river
At the source of the sea
Sitting here now in this bar for hours
Trying to write it down
Fitting in hard with harder to come
Trying to fight it
Down the river there's a ship will carry you
Down river down stream
Down the river there's a ship will carry the
Dream
Dream of the flood
Down the river there's a ship will carry the
Dream of the flood
And her hallway...
As the water comes rushing over
As the water comes rushing in
As the water comes rushing over
Flood...Flood...
Push the glass, stain the glass
Push the writer to the wall
It may come but it will pass
Some say we will fall
Dream of the flood...
Flood...
And her hallway...
Oh, maybe, in terms of surrender,
On a backcloth of lashes and eyes
In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes and ashes and ashes
And ashes and ashes and lies...
And her hallway...
Like...
As the water comes rushing in
As the water comes rushing over
Sitting now in this bar for hours
While these strange men rent strange flowers
I'll be picking up your petals in another few hours
In the metal and blood, in the scent of mascara
On a backcloth of lashes and stars
In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
And ashes and ashes and second hand passion
And stolen guitars
And her hallway...
As the water comes rushing in
Like the sea
As the water comes rushing over
Dream of the flood
In a flood of your tears, in sackcloth
and ashes and ashes
and ashes and ashes
and ashes and ashes
and ashes and ashes and lies...
As the water comes rushing in, rushing in
At the head of the river
At the source of the sea
And her hallway...
Like...
Flood...
-------------------------------------------------------
Flood II / Sisters of mercy ()
And her hallway
Moves
Like the ocean
Moves
And her hallway
Moves
Like the sea
Like the sea
She says no nono no harm will come your way
She says bring it on down, bring on the wave
She says: nobody done no harm
Grace of God and raise your arms
She says: place it and it's a place to stay
This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is
When the water come rushing, rushing in
She says
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood
And her hallway
Like...
Like...
Like a million voices call my name
Like a million voices calling
Not now, not ever again...
Sitting here now in this bar for hours
Strange men rent strange flowers
Seconds to the drop but it feels like hours and I
Think I'm going to...going to...
This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is
When the water come rushing, rushing in
She says
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood
And her hallway...
She says
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood

Garden of delight / Sisters of mercy ()
Shimmering over all those wistful faces
And the promise burning brightly in their eyes
A violent flash, the cut that bleeds, the kiss that stings
Desperate snows fall from desperate skies
(chorus)
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
Home.....
Reflections in the liquid windswept mirror
The breathless world elegance and charm
The treasured touch, the first touch of a stranger
It charmed me, entranced me, no harm
So...
(chorus)
This child of death, kissing in the playground
Senses shimmering, playful to the kill
Playing with fire, a chance among the playsound
Covered in burns and turn away, they're dancing still
So...
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden
Of delight
Of delight...
(chorus)
Home...

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! / Sisters of mercy ()
Half past twelve...
And I'm watching the late show
In my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evenings on my own.
Autumn winds...
Blowing outside the window
As I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see this gloom
(chorus)
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayers.
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars...
Find the end of the rainbow
With the fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of TV...
I open the window
And I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see no one in sight
(chorus)
-------------------------------------------------------
Good things / Sisters of mercy ()
The cracks appear along the wall wall wall wall wall
See the people stoop back, once stood tall tall tall tall tall
I see the buildings crumble see the empires fall
But I see no more and I don't recall
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Because I see
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good
Nothing but the good things
Well nothing ventured nothing lost
Count the changes count the cost
A reformation so uncertain
Keep your station draw the curtain
Because out there the snipers work the ridges
Building bombs and blowing bridges
Out there on a darkened road
The lines are dead and the cars explode
But in here
There's nothing but the good things
In here
Nothing but the good things
In here
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good good good
Nothing but the good things
I see a green sea a pleasant land land land land land
Nothing legal underhand
On the fence or in the sand
Well I take no chances and I take no stand
Against the wall
Against the wire
Against the fall
Against the fire
Against the sale
Against the hire
They say the profits high
But I know the cost is higher
Still I see
Nothing but the good things
Still I see
Nothing but the good things
Still I see here see do talk see
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good good good
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good things
Nothing but the good good good good things
No!

Hey Joe / Sisters of mercy ()
Hey Joe,
where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe,
where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
I'm goin down to shoot my ol' lady,
I caught her messin' `round with another man.
Hey Joe,
I heard you shot your lady down,

Shot her down town.
Yes I did, I shot her.
'Cause I caught my woman foolin 'round

I'm begging you please don't take my man

Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green

From crying when he calls your name Jolene
And I can easily understand

I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
CHORUS
Knock knock knockin' on heaven's door [repeat x3]

Feels like knockin' on heaven's door

Louie Louie / Sisters of mercy ()
Fine little girl, she wait for me.
I sail a ship across the sea.
On the ship, you know, I'm all alone.
And I don't know when I'm gonna make it back home.
(chorus)
Singing...
Louie, Louie- Oh, baby, we gotta go
Louie, Louie- Oh, baby, we gotta go, now...
Three nights and days I sailed the sea.
I think of my girl constantly
On the ship, I dream she's there.
I smell the roses in her hair.
(chorus)
I see Jamaica in the moon above
And I will soon be with my love
I'm gonna take her in my arms and then
I tell her I will never leave her again.
-------------------------------------------------------
Marian / Sisters of mercy ()
In a sea of faces, in a sea of doubt
In this cruel place your voice above the maelstrom
In the wake of this ship of fools I'm falling further down
If you can see me, Marian, reach out and take me home.....
CHORUS
I hear you calling Marian
Across the water, across the wave
I hear you calling Marian
Can you hear me calling you to
Save me, save me, save me from the
Grave...
Marian
Marian, there's a weight above me
And the pressure is all too strong
To breathe deep
Breathe long and hard
To take the water down and go to sleep
To sink still further
Beneath the fatal wave
Marian I think I'm drowning
This sea is killing me
CHORUS
Was ich kann und was ich koennte(What I can do and what I could
do)
Weiss ich gar nicht mehr (I just don't know anymore)
Gib mir wieder etwas Schoenes (Give me something beautiful
again)
Zieh mich aus dem Meer (Drag me from the sea)
Ich hoer Dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)
Kannst Du mich schreien hoeren ?(Can you hear me calling?)
Ich bin hier allein (I am here alone)
Ich hoer Dich rufen Marian (I hear you calling Marian)
Ohne Deine Hilfe verliere ich mich in diesem Ort
(Without your help I am lost
in this place)
CHORUS
[repeat Marian til end]

Never land / Sisters of mercy ()
A fragment
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a
Ticket to Syria
I had everything within my reach
I had money and stuff
Each and every call
Too much but never enough
Tear it up and watch it fall
-------------------------------------------------------
Nine while nine / Sisters of mercy ()
And it's passing strange
And I'm waiting for the train
Caugth up on this line again
And it's passing slowly
Killing time but it's
Better than living in what will come and I've
Still got some of your letters with me and I
Thought sometimes or I read to much
And I think you know let's
Drink to the dead lying under the water and the
Cost of the blood on the driven snow and the
Lipstick on my cigarettes
Frost upon the winow pane
Nine while nine and I'm waiting
For the train...
She said do you remember the time when angels
Do you remember a time when fear
In the days when I was stronger
In the days when you where here she said
When days had no beginning
While days had no end when
Shadows grew no longer I
Knew no other friend but you where wild...
Frost upon these cigarettes
Lipstick on the winow pane and I've
lost all snese of the world outside but I
Can't forget so I call your name and I'm
Looking for a life for me and I'm
Looking for a life for you and I'm
Talking to myself again and it's
So damn cold it's just not true and I'm
Walking through the rain
Trying to hold on waiting for the train and I'm
Only looking for what you want but it's
Lonely here and I think you knew and I'm
And I'm waiting
And I wait in vain
Nine while nine and I'm waiting for the train...
-------------------------------------------------------
On the wire / Sisters of mercy ()
Now the ground comes up too fast
Too fast to meet you
In clouds of dust erupting
Thick around your feet, be careful
In the rubble in waiting
Wall to wall where you tread
Now the quick and the dead and the same old
Fates come calling cards away
How do you think it came to pass you
By the hard way by desire
How do you think it came to pass you by?
On the wire
I don't sleep so I don't dream
So I don't wake up frightened
Everything is what it seems if
You look deep enough tonight and
See.....
On the wire
On the wire
On the wire
I will not fall
[repeat]
[repeat x4]

Poison / Sisters of mercy ()
Behind the door the poison door we
Search the still hours looking
For a place to hide
Behind the door
Where dreams collide
Behind the door the poison doow
We sit in silence waiting
For a deadly friend
Behind the door
Where ddreams decend
And the shadows smile
Lips dark and wild
The shadow smile
And kiss the sky
Behind the door the poison door the
Puppets dance on a burning floor like
Dying flames
Behind the door
Shoot me down again
Behind the door the poison door we
Search the still hours looking...
The shadows smile
But their lips are s...
and the shadows smile
Lips dark and wild
The shadows smile
Kiss your memory goodbye
The shadows smile
And kiss...
The sky

Possession / Sisters of mercy ()
Carrion child,
Prey for me,play your
Wild card, see the house come down around your
Head, home to me, so much dreaming
Some say �m growing cold and
Taking over
Nothing, cuts, two ways.....
Possession: taking over
Stand these pictures on your shelf
And wear your heart upon my sleeve,
Wear a dress that you can see through,
See yourself inside;
I'll be your imagination,
Tear apart what you believe,
Make a mess of your conviction,
Take away my pride and leave,
Nothing, but the debris,
Cuts, two ways,
Carrion child,
Prey for me, play your
Wild card, see the house come down around your
Possession: taking over.....
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake;
Possession: taking over.....
Somehow the fact takes over, and the fiction coming through,
Somehow I do my crying breaking down for you,
This way doubt takes over, contradiction coming through,
This way I do my lying, making up and making out for you.....
Possession: taking over
Child (nothing)
Prey for me (but the debris)
Play your wild card (cuts two ways)
Some say I'm growing cold and
Taking over.....Down around your
Head (nothing)
Home to me (but the debris)
So much dreaming, see the house come down around your
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
Possession: taking over.....
Possession: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake
Possession: taking hold

Purple haze-all in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same...
Acting funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky.

Red skies disappear / Sisters of mercy ()
Out of our hands
Something's calling
Catch me crying
Calling your name
Marian
Do no more than
Watch you try and understand me
Well i've found
It worth the ***
All around me
All around me
Marian
Take my hand
Lay beside me on the burning sand
CHORUS
Marian
Only you can
Say the words i need to hear
Marian
Only you can
Make these red skies disappear
Marian
CHORUS
Marian
Can you hear me calling?
Touch me now
In my hour of need
Speak to me softly
Lay down beside me
Marian
I think you know
I need you near me
Don't try to understand
The sun is falling
Burning sand
Can you hear me calling?
Marian

Sister Ray / Sisters of mercy ()
Duck and Sally inside
They're cooking for the Down Five
Who's staring at Miss Rayon
Who's busy looking up her Pig Pen
I'm searching for my mainline
I said I couldn't hit it sideways
I couldn't hit it sideways
Just like Sister Ray said
Rosie and Miss Rayon
They're busy waiting for her Brewster
Who just got back from Carolina
She said she didn't like the weather
They're busy waiting for her sailor
????? in pink and leather
He said he's here from Alabama
He wants to know the way to earn a dollar
Cecil's got his new piece
He cocks and shoots it between 3:00 and 4:00
He aims it at the sailor
Shoots him down dead on the floor
Ah, you shouldn't do that
Don't you know you'll stain the carpet
Don't you know you'll stain the carpet
By the way, have you got a dollar?
No I haven't got the time time
She's too busy sucking on my ding-dong
She's too busy sucking on my ding-dong
She does it just like Sister Ray said
Now who is that knocking
Who's knocking at my chamber door
Now could it be the police?
They're gonna take you for a ride ride
-------------------------------------------------------
Some kind of stranger / Sisters of mercy ()
And yes I believe in what we had
But words got in the way
And only yesterday
As I was leaving
Lord knows I've tried to say but I've
Heard a million conversations
Going where they've been before
Seen the way that careful lingers
Undecided at the door
CHORUS
And all I know for sure
All I know for real
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
When bodies meet
When fingers touch
All my words are secondhand and
Useless in the face of this
Rationale and rhyme and reason
Pale beside a single kiss
And I've heard so many things I
Fail to understand at all
I'd settle anytime for
Unknown footsteps in the hall outside
CHORUS
Because the world is cruel and
Promises are broken
Don't try to tell me
Anything don't try to tell me
You'll be true to me you know the
Real truth is never spoken
And I know the world is cold but
If you hold on tight to what you
Find you might not mind too much though
Even this must pass away and
Memories may last for years but
Names are just for souvenirs
Some kind of angel let me
Look into your eyes
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason or surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong
And I don't care what you're called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time
Before I hear another love song
Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside

Stairway to heaven / Sisters of mercy ()
Theres a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows
If the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
There's a sign on the wall
But she want's to be sure
Cause you know sometimes words have
No meanings
In a tree by the brook there's a songbird
Who sings sometimes
All of our thoughts are misgiven
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tone
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those
who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder
If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May-queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
Your head is humming and it won't go
-In case you don't know
The pipers are calling you to join him
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
-------------------------------------------------------
Teachers / Sisters of mercy ()
I met a man who lost his mind
in some lost place I had to find.
"Follow me" the wise man said,
but he walked behind.
I walked into a hospital
where none was sick and none was well.
When at night the sisters left
I could not walk at all.
Some girls wander by mistake
into the mess that scalpels make.
Are you a teacher of the heart?
We teach old hearts to break.
I met a woman long ago,
her the black that black can go.
Are you a teacher of the heart?
Soft, she answered, "No."
I met a girl across the sea,
her hair the gold that gold can be.
Are you a teahcer of the heart?
"Yes, but not for thee..."
Well, I spent my hatred every place-
on every work, on every face.
Is my passion perfect? No.
Do it once again.
Oh, teachers are my lessons done?
And I cannot do another one.
And they laughed, and laughed, and laughed and said,
"Child, are your lessons done?"
Well, I was handsome and I was strong
and I knew the words of every song.
Did my singing please you?
"No, the words you sang were wrong..."
-------------------------------------------------------
Torch / Sisters of mercy ()
And now the torch
And shadows lead
Were it not so black and not so hard to see
How can it help you when you don't know what you need
How can anybody set you free?
Would he walk upon the water
If he couldn't walk away?
And would you
Would you carry the torch
For me?
And what if I gave you the key
To the doors of your design...
Lit the corridors of desire?
Where if not so black
And not so hard to see
What use to you then any fire?
Would he walk upon the water
If he couldn't walk away?
And would you
Carry the torch for me?
Would he walk upon the water
If he couldn't walk away?
And would you
Would you carry the torch for me?
Would you carry the torch
For me?
Would you carry the torch
For me?
Would you carry the torch
For me?

Train / Sisters of mercy ()
Train [x3]
Take a last decision and the cars to move it
Past information
Tunnel vision and the scars to prove it
Everybody got a reservation
Far beyond the black horizon
Beyond the things you know
Everybody got a destination
Everybody got a place to go
Take a walk downtown to where the victims go
Take your shadow to the end to the very last window
Everybody got friends got shot upside and over
Down the line
Everybody got assignations
I got mine
Take a one-way ticket to the chain-reaction
Out a hole between the ground and sky
Make a railway track for the main attraction
Cross my heart and take a ride
Far beyond the black horizon
Beyond the things you know
Everybody got a destination
Everybody got a place to go
-------------------------------------------------------
Wide reciever / Sisters of mercy ()
You say
Where is my believer
Waiting for the sign
Those feet off the ground
...
... the skies go wild
Tattered and torn your feet never bleed
You say never mattered ...
... is over and the hour is ...
And where's your wide receiver
Over the line
Where's your wide receiver
Over the border
Where's your wide receiver
Over the line
Where's your wide receiver
Over the edge and
Too far forward
Where's your wide receiver
Over the line

You could be the one / Sisters of mercy (X)
All gods children give good phone
I called Jesus, he's not home
So I'm so pleased to talk to you
Trees and walks I love them too
Threatened species they adore me,
Flower children never bore me
But all the this you share
Are better left unsaid
When you can give me there
And run your fingers through my hair
CHORUS
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the oneWe can meditate
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the oneLet's call it fate
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the oneTo get your flowers
pressed
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You could be the oneJust get undressed
I'm so glad to find you here
Mystic people they're so dear
I don't like the rest
Your signs the best
Whatever it is
I'm most impressed
I don't need to understand
The laying on of hands
I'm in a hurry to get my collar straight
Life is short and I can't wait
But don't worry about the state
Of this pretty little thing in the armour plate
CHORUS
I'm so pleased that you believe
Just open up a little let the good times in
We're, going fo a ride
Destiny can't be denied
But all those precious things are better left unsaid
When you can keep me here
And run your fingers though my hair
CHORUS
Love, is all you need.

I was wrong / Sisters of mercy (X)
You say stay and never leave
You say meant forever
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost alone together
All alone
You say
You say you will
I know you won't
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where where people shout
I don't want to talk it over
I don't want to talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for ?
Pin looks great on other people
That's what they're for
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
You say stay and never leave
You say meant forever
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost alone together
All alone
You say
You say you will
I know you won't
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours
In a bar that's always closing
In a world where where people shout
I don't want to talk it over
I don't want to talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for ?
Pin looks great on other people
That's what they're for
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours

Ribbons / Sisters of mercy (X)
I'm lying on my back now
The stars look all to near
Flowers on the razor wire
I know you're here
We are few
And far between
I was thinking about her skin
Love is a many splintered thing
Don't be afraid now
Just walk on in
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)
Here eyes were cobalt red
Her voice was cobalt blue
I see no purple light
Crashing out of you
So just walk on in
(Flowers on the razor wire)
(Walk on in)
Her lovers queued up in the hallway
I heard the scratching on the door
I tried to tell her
About Marx and Engels, God and Angels
I don't really know what fore
But she looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in
She looked good in ribbons
So just walk on in
Tie a red red red red red red ribbon
Love is a many splintered thing
Tie a red red red red ribbon
Don't be afraid
Just walk on in
Just walk on in
(Incomming...)
(Incomming...)
Just walk on in
Just walk on in
Flowers on the razor wire
Just walk on in...

Something fast / Sisters of mercy (X)
All the things
We never needed
I don't need them now
All the things we ever did
Were always confidential
And hidden from me anyhow
You can stand all night
At a red light anywhere in town
Hailing maries left and right
But none of the slows down
I seen the best of men go past
I don't wanna be the last
Gimme something fast
God know everybody needs
A hand in their decision
Some of us are not so sure
I seen his own held out
For a ride on television
I think he's still in Baltimore
You can stand all night
At a red light anywhere in town
Hailing maries left and right
But none of the slows down
I seen the best of men go past
I don't wanna be the last
Gimme something fast

When you don't see me / Sisters of mercy (X)
When you don't see me...
It's not a matter of going to grow
It's not a matter of time or how I feel
I'm throwing off the shadow of a better man now
What you see is what you never had
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disapear
When you don't see me...
Oh, it's kind of different when you're there
You can't lease the peace of mind
You bougth a mask, I put it on
You never thougth to ask me
If I wear it when you're gone
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disapear
When you don't see me...
You never learned
You bought me
I turned
You couldn't let me move
I guess, I don't deny, I don't disprove
What you see is what you lost
If I was you I wouldn't try
Get real
Get another
I don't exist when you don't see me
I don't exist when you're not here
What the eye don't see won't break the heart
You can make believe when we're apart
But when you leave I disapear
When you don't see me...

Alice / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
She stays presseda against the wall so
She can see the door
In case the laughing strangers call and
Crush the petals on the floor
Alice in her party dress she
Thanks you kindly so serene she
Needs you like she needs her thanks to
Tell her that the world is clean to
Promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines brigth and
Tell her she can have it all
Today
Pass the crystal spread the tarot
In illusion comfort lies the
Safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise
Alice in her party dressed to kill she
Needs you like she needs the pills to
Tell her that the world's okay to
Promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines brigth and
Tell her she can have it all
Today
Today
Alice
Don't give it away

Floorshow / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground in the
Violent vhour to the violent sound and the
Darkness the blinding the eyes that shine and the
Voices and the singing and the line on line
This is the floorshow the clapping hands
Animal flow from the animal glands in the
Violent hour to the violent sound going
round and around and around and
I feel the bite I feel the beat I see the dancing feet
I feel the ligth I feel the heat I see the new elite
I see the final floorshow I see the western dream
I see the faces glow and I see the bodies steam
See them shimmy see them go
See their panted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go
This is the floorshow the last ideal it's
Populist got mass appeal the
Old religion redefined for the
Facile futile totally blind
Mundane by day insane at night
pagan playing in the flashing light in the
violent hour to the violent sound going
Round and around and around and around and
bodies on the naked on the low damp ground
In the violent hour to the violent sound and the
Darkeness the blinding the eyes that shine and the
Voices singing line on line
See them shimmy see them go
See their panted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go

Ligths / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
The ligth shines clear through the sodium haze
The nigth draws near and the and the dayligth fades
Ignore the voices discard the day
For the brand new darkness for the brigth new way
Hit
There have been better plans but
None that I could ever understand
Emerald signal the green on black the
Ligths say move say never lock back and so I
Find another place where I've never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again where the
Emerald glisten through the rain
The ligth shines clear through the sodium haze
The nigth draws near and the and the dayligth fades but there's a
Voice in the distance quiet and clear saying
Something that I never ever wanted to hear
There have been better plans but
None that I could ever understand I see the
Emerald signal the green on black I see the
Ligths say move say never lock back and so I
Find another place where I'll never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again where the
Emerald glisten through the rain rain rain and I'm
Happy here
In the rain

Valentine / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
The razore bites and the shriek subsides
He arches clutching at his sides
Across the floor across the tiles
The man is dead and the razor smiles
A shiny love song a quick a quick incision
Cut him down on television
A people come to this
Beyond the age of reason
A people fed on famine
A people on their knees and
A people eat each other
A people stand in line
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my Valentine
For a million empty faces
For a million hollow smiles
Cancer for my education
Watch the body hit the files
Waiting for another war and
Waiting for my Valentine
-------------------------------------------------------
Fix / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
Love for the party, love for the nation
Love for the fix and for the fabrication
Love for the corpse, for the corporation
Love for the death and the defecation
Romance and assassination
Give me love for the genocide
Give me love

Temple of love / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another but still the same
For the wind will blow my name across this land
In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on
Walls as wide as lovers' eyes
In the temple of love - shine like thunder
In the temple of love - cry like rain
In the temple of love - hear my calling
In the temple of love - hear my name
And the devil in a black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away
With the sunlight died and the night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another, it's all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside
With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this
Black wind calls my name to you no more
In the black sky thunder sweeping under
Ground and over water, sounds of
Crying, weeping will not save your
Faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave when
Stone is dust and only air remains
In the temple of love - shine like thunder
In the temple of love - cry like rain
In the temple of love - hear the calling
In the temple of love - is falling down
In the temple of love - shine like thunder
In the temple of love - cry like rain
In the temple of love - hear my calling
In the temple of love - hear my name
In the black sky thunder sweeping under
Ground and over water, sounds of
Crying, weeping will not save your
Faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave when
Stone is dust and only air remains
Only haven you can trust
And the devil in a black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away
With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
I shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this
Black wind calls my name to you no more
In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on
Walls as wide as lovers' eyes
In the temple of love - shine like thunder
In the temple of love - cry like rain
In the temple of love - hear the calling

Heartland / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
Lay me down the long white line
Leave the sirens far behind me
Paint my name in black and gold
My heart my flame my heart my road
My heartland fade across the line
Heartland sing the faces shining
In the failing failing failing
Heartland make the places mine
Clearly now the past mistakes
The giant steps we had to take
The path that ever promise made to
Die in dream dissolve and fade
CHORUS
My heartland heartland heartland [repeat x3]
Behind the lines a face that glimmers
Still looking for a face that shines
In the promise in the places
I'm going to make them mine
CHORUS [repeat x40]

The Damage done / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor.
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor
Somebody tell me about the ...
I need to know about the ...
Somebody tell me about the perfect bomb
The royal valley of a Blitzkrieg Bop
Somebody tell me how to use my gun tools
Kiss the napalm in the afternoon
I saw the film, I saw the place
I live to work for the killing sake
When I think you're knocked, when the radio died
And the rhythm played from every side
See the rubble and the damage done
See the debris and the damage done
See the wreckage and the damage done
See the film, see the damage done
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor.
(This is the image, this is the place)
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor
(This is the way the world will end)
Somebody tell me about the ...
(The waltzing man have dancing eyes)
I need to know about the ...
(This is the way the world will end)
Me I'm lost and the radio's dead
Now I'm relaxed and the radio's dead
The rhythms gone, the radio's dead
And the damage done inside my Head Oh.

Watch / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
Here's the story
No time to lose (like the present)
Now I've lost my friends
Now I've lost friends
It's not my party,
Never will be
Feeling out-of-place,
I'm not happy
A touch of the storm cloud...
Roughage in a comradeship and conversations
Conversations, everything's so run-of-the-mill
We stand still...
And time slips back,
And time slips back...
Back to the garden,
Time slips back
Back in the dark rooms
Time slips back
Back in the dark room
Back to the dark age
Put me on the rack
We stand still
Time slips back
Recount movements
Recount movements
Watch us grow
Watch us fall from grace
Watch us fall flat on our face
But you always fall on your feet
Tell me how you always
Fall on your feet
Tell me how
Tell me how
Tell me how
Oh tell me how

Body electric / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
Through the cables and the underground now
The faceless breathless calls
This is Babel, sensurround now
This place is death with walls repeat x3

And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall x2
Crawling to the corners where the idiot children call
See the body flashing on the bathroom wall

Adrenochrome / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
We'll turn away in a passive decision
We'll take the steps through the unmarked door
A look back for another collision
But the boys of the spires
Are boys no more
Not black and red boys
Frightened by the night
By the Catholic monochrome
The Catholic girls now
Stark in their dark and white
Dread in monochrome
The Sisters of Mercy
High tide
Wide eyed
Sped on adrenochrome
For the Sisters of Mercy
Filled with
Panic in their eyes
Rise
Dead on adrenochrome
We had the power
We had the space
We had a sense of time and place
We knew the words
We knew the score
We knew what we were fighting for
For the freedom
The time to choose
But time to think
Is time to lose
The signals clash
And disappear
The shade too loud
And the sound unclear
For the
High tide
Wide eyed
Dread in monochrome
Denied in spite
Disliked in monochrome
Panic in their eyes
Rise
Dead and monochrome
The Sisters of Mercy
Spite
On adrenochrome
The way is clear
The road is closed
The damage done
And the course
Imposed you
You turn away in a passive decision
You take the steps through the unmarked door
A look back for another collision
But the boys of the spires
Are boys no more

Anaconda / Sisters of mercy (Some girls wander by mistake)
Baby buy an anaconda
Baby buy a thing to wear
She go walking she go crawling she go sliding through the air
She go talking warm and fashion she go talking debonair but
See her face turn to a mask
And passion turn to she don't care
She will she will let it take her breath away
She will she will let it take her life away
Let it wrap itself around her til it kill her in its way
She will she will blow away
Baby hit the rush hour traffic get a ride to anywhere
Baby buy the number three she pay the man she pay the fare
Baby hit the wild blue yonder on the mainline on the slide
Steal to feed the anaconda will not see the suicide
She will she will let it take her breath away
She will she will let it take her life away
Let it wrap itself around her til it kill her in its way
She will she will blow away
Baby finger on the trigger baby shot formaldehyde
Turn into a marble figureturn the matter dead inside
Turn into a China doll go maybe to the final ride
Baby go where I don't follow baby on the other side
She will she will let it take her breath away
She will she will let it take her life away
Let it wrap itself around her til it kill her in its way
She will she will blow away

Under the gun / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
You don't have to say you're sorry
To look on further down the line
Into the sun
Too close at heaven
Love is fine
But you can't hold it like a ...
Two worlds apart two together
Into that good night kiss away
Into that good night kiss away
One takes the hand, one the other
Kiss away
Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough?
Are you living?
Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
Are you living?
Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
Do you feel your head is full of thunder?
Questions never end?
Empty nights alone?
No wonder
It all comes back again
Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I've been under the gun
I've lost and I've ...
Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I've been under the gun
I'm lost and I've won ...
Forget the many steps to heaven
It never happened and it ain't so hard
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Short cut is better by far
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts
At a milion miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metals
It's a semi-automatic, get in the car
Corrosive heart and frozen heat
We're worlds apart where we could meet
Where the street fold round and the motors start
And the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card
On the field of hounour where the ground is hard
So the highest hand is joking wild
and the house soon fold and no one stand
I put my finger on and dialed
The tower, the moon, the gun, and
Nine, nine, nine singer down
Cloudburst and all around
The first are last, the blessed get wired
The best is yet to come
I put my finger on and fired
Heat-seeking, out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger
Everything under the gun

Vision thing / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
Twenty-five whores in the room next door
Twenty-five floors and I need more
I'm looking for the can in the candy store
Two thousand Hamburg for
And colours I ain't seen before
It's a small world and it smells funny
I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money
Take back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
In a long black car
With the prettiest shit
From Panama
When the sirens wail
And the lights flash blue
My vision thing come
Slamming through ...
It's a small world and it smells bad
I'd buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
Slamming through ...
Slamming through ...
What do we need to make our world come alive?
What does it take to make us sing?
While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?
One million points of light
One billion dollar vision thing
Another black hole in the killing zone
A little more mad in the methedrome
One blinding flash of sense
Just like the president's
Well I don't mind, out of my mind
Blizzard king, bring it on home
It's a small world and it smells bad
I'd buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
And a vision thing
And a vision thing
And a sha la la la
What do we need to make our world come alive?
What does it take to make us sing?
While we're waiting for the next one to arrive?
One million points of light
One billion dollar vision thing
Sha la la la
When the sirens wail
And the lights flash blue
My vision thing come
Slamming through ...
It's a small world and it smells bad
I'd buy another if I had
Back what I paid
For another motherfucker in a motorcade
Slamming through ...
Slamming through ...
What do we need to make our world come alive?

Detonation boulevard / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
Through the angel rain
Through the dust and the gasoline
Through the cruelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Long distance information
Just tell me where the manholes steam
A little girl waits on my station
With a new machine
On Detonation Boulevard ...
I got wrecked out here
In a Eldorado
I got wired, white-walled
This hot-wired Sedan
I caught something weird in Encenada
I've a brother of sorts in Torquemada
Long distance information
Disconnect me if you can
On Detonation Boulevard ...
Pink noise, white noise
And a violet whining sound
It burns inside this car
No cops, no signs, no left, no right
No stops, no turning round
You can run but you can't ride
You won't get far
On Detonation Boulevard ... bang bang
On Detonation Boulevard ...
Through the angel rain
Through the rust and the gasoline
Through the cruelty of strangers
To the neon dream
Long distance information
I'll take the same
I got the fuel for the transformation
I'm a naked flame
On Detonation Boulevard ... bang bang

Doctor Jeep / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
Everybody shouts on I love Lucy
Pee Wee reads the evening news
A pre-owned song or a second-hand Uzi
Everybody got a job to lose
Here come the golden oldies
Here come the Hizbollah
Businessmen from South Miami
Humming AOR
Meanwhile ...
I like Cal and his dog Napalm
I like Ike and his itty-bitty A-bomb
Everybody got one, I want mine
You can order it up on Channel Nine
Meanwhile, in the Sheraton
Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on
Guns and cars and accidents
The threatened witness my defence
You can sell one another for fifteen cents
Well by-by mother, it's common sense
Meanwhile, in the Sheraton
Doctor Jeep plays on and on and on
Meanwhile ...

More / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know
I want more
I want more
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
D'you get scared to feel so much?
To let somebody tough you?
So hot, so cold, so far so out of control
Hard to come by, and harder to hold
Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
I want more
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
There are parts of me that don't get nervous
Not the parts that shake
You won't get what you deserve
You are what you take
Learing to cry for fun and profit
I'm not done yet
Counterfeit dollars or the English zloty
Anywhere I can get
Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know
I want more
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
(And I need all the love I can get)
(And I need all the love that I can't get to)
All the love that you can get
All the love
That I can't get to ...

Lucrecia my reflection / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
I hear empire down
I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will
Dum dum bullets and shoot to kill, I hear
Dive, bombers, and
Empire down
Empire down
I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed
Get pretty, but you and me
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
Lucrecia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me ...
We look hard
We look through
We look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don't make sense
I don't see much evidence
I don't feel
I don't feel
I don't feel
A long train held up by page on page
A hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad
Now it's done ...
I hear the roar of a big machine
Two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine
I hear empire down
We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection
Lucrecia, my direction, dance the ghost with me ...

Dominion / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the day
When I close my eyes
When I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside
When I hear you say

Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
Come a time
Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine
In the light of the fact
On the lone and level
Sand stretch far away
In the heat of the action
In the settled dust
Hold, hold and sway
In the meeting of mined
Down in the streets of shame
In the betting of names on gold to rust
In the land of the blind
Be ... king, king, king
Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
Come a time
Some day, some day, some day, Dominion
Some say prayers
Some say prayers
I say mine
In the land of the blind
Be ... king, king, king

Mother Russia / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
We serve an old man in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
We dream of rain and the history of the gun
There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square
I'm living in films for the sake of Russia
A Kino Runner for the DDR
And the fifty-two daugthers of the revolution
Turn the gold to chrome
Gift...nothing to lose
Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing:
Mother Russia,
Mother Russia,
Mother Russia rain down down down
Mother Russia,
Mother Russia,
Mother Russia rain down

This corrosion / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
Gimme the ring, kissed and toll'd
Gimme something that I missed
A hand to hold, wild and what it seems ...
Kill the king, when love is the law
And the we'll turn round ...

On the loan and on the level

On daze like this
In times like these
I feel an animal deep inside
Heel to naunch on bended knees
Living on if and if I tried
Somebody send me, please ...
Dream wars and a ticket to seem
Giving out and in
Selling the don't belong
Well, what do you say
D'you have a word for giving away?
Got a song for me?
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing like a healing hand
I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more
I don't need no one to understand
Why the blood run hold the highered hand
On heart
Hand Of God
Floodland and Driven Apart
Run cold
Turn
Cold
Burn
Like a heeling hand
Like a heeling hand
Like a heeling hand
Like a heeling hand

No time to cry / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
It's just a feeling
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened too
But it's
No time for heartache
No time for run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry
Sometimes in the world as is you've
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
It's just like Adam says, it's
Not so hard to understand, it's
Just like always coming down on
Just like Jesus never came and
What did you expect to find, it's
Just like always here again, it's
No time for heartache
No time for run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry
Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can sleep and the
Voices pass with time and I keep

Keep no time to cry, it's
No time for heartache
No time to run and hide
No time for breaking down
No time to cry

Walk away / Sisters of mercy (Greatest hits vol. 1)
And in the summer when the clouds show through
I might go the same way too if
You and I could talk together
Well what am I suppost to do with
You and I would walk together then
With always close around and
Now you gaze toward the doorway
When the weather comes falling down
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay, would you
Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you
Walk ... away?
Away
Away
Away
Would you choose to walk away?
And when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay, would you
Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you
Walk ... away?
Though when the day is nearly through
I might see the smae way too if
You would name the things that bring you
Down on me so I could say it's
Not quite true if you don't really
Know or understand the circumstance
Behind then I might clear your
Mind, and you won't have to go, so
So when the rain comes down
Would you choose to walk or stay, would you
Choose to walk, would you choose to stay, would you
Walk ... away?
Away
Away
Away
Would you choose to walk away?
Away

War ensemble / Slayer (Seasons in the abyss)
Propaganda death ensemble
Burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night
In blood laced misery
Scorched earth the policy
The reason for the siege
The pendulum it shaves the blade
The strafing air blood raid
Infiltration push reserves
Encircle the front lines
Supreme art of strategy
Playing on the minds
Bombard till submission
Take all to their graves
Indication of triumph
The numbers that are dead
Sport the war, war support
The sport is war, total war
When victory's really massacre
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill

Your fallen walls
Spearhead break through the lines
Flanched all around
Soldiers of attrition
Forward their ground

Old in it's time
Flowing veins run on through
Deep in the rhine
Center of the web
All battles scored
What is our war crime
Ern forever more . . . war
Solo : King
Propaganda war ensemble
Burial to be
Bones shining by the night
In blood laced misery
Campaign of elimination
Twisted psychology
When victory is to survive
And death is defeat

When the end is a slaughter
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill

Deviated lies fear blinding your eyes
Enforcing their thruth through a gun

Welcome to my world
Involve yourself within my dream
Experience a life
Just like your mind thought not to be
Take a look through time
At past or present worlds to be
I rule this inferno
Enthroned for eternity
Coils of the serpent unwind
Buried beneath you will find
Deep in the halls of the damned
Spirit in black 'till the end
Spirits damned to rot
Amidst the brimstone fireballs
Eyes of the dead
Watching from their living walls
Broken glass reflections
Show your flesh eaten away
Beyond the gates I'll take you
Where the blood forever rains

Buried beneath you will find
Deep in the halls of the damned
Spirit in black 'till the end

Burning from within
You know one spark is all it takes
Bear the piercing cries of all
Who found that hell awaits

You really have no choice
Faded memories haunt you
Listen closely to my voice
Feed me all your hatred
Empty all your thoughts to me
I can fill your emptiness
With immortality

Home turf my battlefield
In no one's way caught in a crossfire
Stray bullets can kill

I have waited for you to come
I have known it all along
And now that you have arrived
Please stay a while
And I promise I won't keep you long
I'll keep you forever
Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of death cold flesh pacifies the means
Provocative images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon
Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hollowed screams
The dead have taken my soul

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same

Hallowed point / Slayer (Seasons in the abyss)
High velocity bullet at close range
Can damage the mind
Shattering the skull shredding the brain
Severing the spine
Bury a round of lead in the chest
It's quite an impression
Imagine the @innerds@ of your soul
The infliction
Instinctive regression
With intent to kill
No regard of human life
Or the blood spilled
Solo : Hanneman
Riddled convulsions
Confetti of flesh
Shattered helplessly
Losing your control of physical
Facilities
Release the slide to cleanse inside
Prepare to anoint
Snap the tongue in groove discharged
To make my hollowed point
The power of a gun
Used with conviction
Dispersed an exersions
Randomly kills victims
My sweet revenge
Bitter in depression
The thrilling release
Of a hated deep persuation
Solo : King
The power of a gun
Used with conviction
Diffused compulsions
Unending repercursions
Violent emotion
Screaming revolution
Spasmic convulsions
Death an empty gun

Skeletons of society / Slayer (Seasons in the abyss)
@innies seem like bays
Since fire rules the sky
The rich became the beggars
And the fools became the wise
Memories linger in my brain
Of burning from the acid rain
A pain I never have won
Nothing here remains
No future and no past
No one could I see
The end that came so fast
Bear the prophet make his guess
That paradise lies to the west
So join his quest for the sun
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be
Solo : Hanneman
The world slowly decays
Destruction fills my eyes
Harboring the image
Of a spiraling demise
Burning winds release their fury
Simulating judge and jury
Drifting flurries of pain
Deafening silence reigns
No twilight fills the sky
Evetual supremacy
Daylight waits to die
Darkness always calls my name
A pawn in this recurring game
Humanity going insane
Shades of death are all I see
Fragments of what used to be
Solo : King, Hanneman
Minutes seem like days
Corrosion fills the sky
Morbid dreams of anarchy
Brought judgement in disguise
Memories linger in my brain
Life with nothing more to gain
Perpetual maddness remains
Shades of death are all I see
Skeletons of society
Fragments of what used to be
Skeletons of society
-------------------------------------------------------
Temptation / Slayer (Seasons in the abyss)
Have you ever felt the need
To see more than you can see
Look into uncertainty
Reflections of treachery
Would you leave the world behind
Endless life is here to find
Can I interest you in lies
Sell your soul for all it buys
Play with your insanity
Shatter your reality
Pulsing in your blood
I can satisfy your greed
For now all your debts are free
I have all eternity
To quench all the death I breed
Recreate the rules of play
From now things are done my way
None have ever won my game
Crucified them all in flames
Play with your insanity
Shatter your reality
Pulsing in your blood
Solo : King
Have you ever danced with the devil
Old temptation ever summoned you
Ever penned your name in blood
Let possession slowly swallow you
When you stand under full moonlight
The attraction mesmerizes you
Have you ever wondered why
It seems that evil you're attracted to
Reach out to my hand
Step back in time's sand
Genetic wasteland
Far beyond death
-------------------------------------------------------
Born of fire / Slayer (Seasons in the abyss)
Join in my quest to leave life overturned
Spreading the world wave of doom
Spewing out death with the evil I've churned
Awaken the dead from their tomb
Love turns to lust the sensations I've felt
Exploring the pleasures of sin
Making the best of the cards I've been delt
Adjusting the odds so I win
Unleash all my burning wrath
Potential killing machine
Take dowm all who block my path
Enjoying all that's obscene . . . Born of fire
Prince of all darkness initiation
Ritually baptized in flames
Next to the throne my abomination
Spreads terror throughout the domain
Master the art that controls the impure
Inherit the infamous keys
Thousands of centuries I will endure
Tyrant of all prophecies
Some have called me Satan's son
A name I cannot deny
Wielding fury that's second to none
Far to vile to confine . . . Born of fire
Solo : Hanneman
All things dead must rise again
When twilight's blanket falls
Splattered red you'll find my den
Blood dripping from the walls
Dreams born of desire
Shaped and forged within the fire
Twisted, warped, deranged I see
The world's corrupt insanity
Solo : King
Dreams possess nightmarish figures
Burning can't escape the embers
Lost are those who trust the liar
Satan's son I'm born of fire
Solo : King

Seasons in the abyss / Slayer (Seasons in the abyss)
Razors edge
Outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane . . . go insane
Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution a sadist ritual
Was @inte..ais@ of mind @restonail@
Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself

As you go insane . . . go insane

Innate seed
To watch you bleed
A demanding physical need
Desecrated eviscerated
Times perpetuated
Close your eyes

Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your thoughts drain
As you go insane . . . go insane

Angel of death / Slayer (Reighn in blood)
Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The why that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life
Forced in, like cattle you run
Stripped of your life's worth
Human mice, for the angel of death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood
Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the aryan race
Surgery, with no anesthesia
Feel the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of death
Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat bruns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last in this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time 'til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain reach out for you
His face of death staring down, your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of the mutant he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid angel of death
Flying free
Leads : Hanneman, King, Hanneman, King, Hanneman
-------------------------------------------------------
Piece by piece / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Modulistic terror
A vast sadistic feast
The only way to exit
Is going piece by piece
You have no choice of life or death
My face you will not see
I'll rip your flesh 'till there's no breath
Dismembered destiny
As soon as life has left your corps
I'll make you part of me
No emotion
Death is all I see
Mudulistic terror
A vast sadistic feast
The only way to exit
Is going piece by piece
Bones and blood lie on the ground
Rotten limbs lie dead
Decapitated bodies found
On my wall, your head !
On your trail I close the gap
One more life that soon won't be
No emotion
Your flesh is all I need
I'll send you to your maker
Confront the god you seek
A flash of red upon his chest
Safety out of reach
-------------------------------------------------------
Necrophobic / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Strangulation, mutilation, cancer of the brain
Limb dissection, amputation, from a mind deranged
Asphyxiation, suffocation, gasping for air
Explain to me the feeling after sitting in the chair?
Ripping apart
Severing flesh
Gouging eyes
Tearing limb from limb
Experimentation, slow infection, internal decay
Execution, need transfusion, body rots away
Sliced incision, zero vision, loss of vital signs
Skin contortion, bone erosion, life becomes your fine
Ripping apart
Severing flesh
Gouging eyes
Tearing limb from limb

Altar of sacrifice / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Waiting the hour destined to die
Here on the table of hell
A figure in white unknown by man
Aproaching the altar of death
High priest awating dagger in hand
Spilling the pure virgin blood
Satan's slaughter, ceremonial death
Answer his every command
Death will come easy just close your eyes
Dream of the friend you'll see
Heavenly failure losing again
Move on to a new form of life
Altar of sacrifice, curse of the damned
Confronting the evil you dread
Coalesce into one your shadow and soul
Soon you will meet the undead
Lead : Hanneman
Enter to the realm of Satan !

Transforming of five toes to two
Learn the sacred words of praise, hail Satan
Lead : Hanneman
A gift of powers disposed upon you
Use them when you feel the need
Master the forces and powers of Satan
Controlling the creature's instinct
Drawn to the castles that float in the sky
Learn to resist the temptation
Watching the angels sift through the heavens
Endlessly searching for salvation
Lead : King

Jesus saves / Slayer (Reign in blood)
You go to the church, you kiss the cross
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality
Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ass
A trait that's grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the lord, it's all you say
Jesus saves, listen to you pray
You think you'll see the pearly gates
When death takes you away
For all respect you cannot lust
In an invisible man you place your trust
Indirect dependency
Eternal attempt of amnesty
He will decide who lives and who dies
Depopulate satanas rise
You will be an accessory
Irreverence and blasphemy
Lead : King
Jesus saves, no need to pray
The gates of pearl have turned to gold
It seems you've lost your way
Lead : Hanneman
Jesus saves, no words of praise
No promised land to take you to
There is no other way
Lead : King

Criminally insane / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Night will come and I will follow
For my victims, no tomorrow
Make it fast, your time of sorrow
On his trail, I'll make you follow
Quarters for the criminally insane
The sentence read for life I must remain
The path I chose has led me to my grave
To try again I'd have no other way
Quarters for the criminally insane
Escape for me has fast become a game
Soon to be, I'll leave without a trace
Endangered species end the human race
Lead : Hanneman, King
Branded in pain
Marked criminally insane
Locked away and kept restraint
Disapprobation, but what have I done
I have yet only just begun
To take your fuckin' lives!
-------------------------------------------------------
Reborn / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Convicted witch my life will end
At midnight on the stake
My dedicated life was spent
To insubordinate
Secured by lock inside a cell
Imprisoned for no crime
These shackles will be useless
When your life is out of time
Incantination spell gone by
I will see life again
My deals will made eternally
I signed the book of red
My rage will be unleashed again
Burning the next morn
Death means nothing, there is no end
I will be reborn
No gift of exile in my fate
I'll get no amnesty
You can't control my destiny
There is no habitual need
Proclaim my death, to end my wrath
It takes more than one try
Induldge your ineffective curse
I will never die
You think by killing me tonight
My powers will not rise
There'll be nowhere for you to run
When my hatred comes to life
Condemned to fill the prophecy
Allowing no first born
Defy your morbid declaration
Leave you ripped and torn
Lead : Hanneman
Count your bellsing would be priest
As I burn upon the stake
You'd be forgiven endlessly
But your values are all fake
Forever servant of my lord
By choice and not submission
Maybe now I've made you wonder
Am I superstition
Incantination spell gone by
I will live again
My deals will made eternally
I signed the book in red
My rage will be unleashed again
Burning the next morn
Death means nothing there is no end
I will be reborn
Lead : Hanneman

Epidemic / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Breeding fast in poverty
Infectious driving dormant seed
Inside your carcass start to mate
Left in charge to dominate
Waiting to unfold
Raging uncontrolled
Adapt a potency
Death machine, infest my corpse to be
Unyielding king of agony
Test your body chemistry
Pulmonary overthrow
Possession of your inner throne
Invasions quickly override,
Malicious domineering strike
Flood your veins commit slow death
Deteriorate your makers met
Perpetual demise
On a fast decline
Killing tendency
Epidemic, permanent disease
Lead : Hanneman
Incapacitate, fall into your fate
Pain results in screams, bleed internally
Years will pass before it can be cured
-------------------------------------------------------
Postmortem / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Funeral held for the depression of man
Holds the key to his own death
Entering a tomb of a corpse yet conceived
Tighten the tourniquet around your neck
Sifting away debris of hated life
Cold touch of death begins to chill your spine
Seeking life beyond your perishment
Repeating words echoing through your mind
Chanting lines of blind witchery
To save yourself from extinction
Wanting to die is your reason to live
New life born from the oppressed
Taste your blood as it trickles through the air
Another casualty beyond the shadows you fall
Losing ground, the fate you feel it draws near
Fatality, reality, you await the final call
My sinfull glare at nothing holds thoughts of death behind it
Skeletons in my mind commence tearing at my sanity
Vessels in my brain carry death until my birth
Come and die with me forever share insanity
Do you want to die !
The waves of blood are rushing near, tearing at the walls of lies
Turning of my sanity reaching back into my mind
Non-rising body from the grave showing new reality
What I am, what I want, I'm only after death
-------------------------------------------------------
Raining blood / Slayer (Reign in blood)
Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition
The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away
Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding it's horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!
Noise : Hanneman / King
-------------------------------------------------------
Rusty cage / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
You wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
You tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil
But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
Hits like a Philips head
Into my brain
It's gonna be too dark
To sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars
And rusty chains, I'm gonna break my
Rusty cage and run
When the forest burns
Along the road
Like God's eyes
In my headlights
When the dogs are looking
For their bones
And it's raining icepicks
On your steel shore
I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
-------------------------------------------------------
Outshined / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now
I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota
So now you know, who gets mystified
Show me the poor child
I'd like to say
That I'm down to my knees today
It gives me the butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined
Someone let the dogs out
They'll show you where the truth is
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shedding
I'm feeling that I'm sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking
So now you know who gets mystified
Show me the poor child
I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies
Gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined
-------------------------------------------------------
Slaves & bulldozers / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and what I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
Now I know why you've been shaking
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buying lies and steeling jokes
And laughing everytime I choke
Biding all the time you took
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said what's in it for me
-------------------------------------------------------
Jesus Christ pose / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
Like you've been carrying a load
And you swear to me
You don't want to be my slave
But you're staring at me
Like I need to be saved
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out
In your Jesus Christ pose
Thorns and shroud
Like it's the coming of the lord
And I swear to you
That I would never feed you pain
But you're staring at me
Like I'm driving the nails
In your Jesus Christ pose
And you stare at me
In your Jesus Christ pose
Arms held out like it's
The coming of the lord
And would it pay you more to walk on water
Than to wear a crown of thorns
It wouldn't pain me more to bury you rich
Than to bury you poor
In your Jesus Christ pose
-------------------------------------------------------
Face pollution / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
I can count it on my fingers
I've got all my reasons not to feel
I'm nub as rigot mortis
Scared by monkey faces
Drowned in shark fins
But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you
Now I'm in the mirror
Now it's getting clear
I fear that I'm in you
Now I'm into plastics
Now I've made a mask
It looks like fish heads
But I don't feel like feeling
Feeling like you
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
Face pollution
-------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
I wish to wish I dream to dream
I try to try and I live to live
And I die to die and I cry to cry
But I know why
Somewhere in my dreams
Things that should
Still the willow weeps
On roses for the dead
In laughs of love
From the likes of her
To the time of me
Like to moon to earth
Or the sky to sea
Only we're no longer
Allowed to be, to be
Somewhere in the dreams
Of those who should
Live in all the keeps
Echo all the worlds
In laughs of love
For times that pass my life
I'll search for the sky
That she wanders by
Somewhere in the dreams
That the skies hold
Still the willow weeps
On roses for her bed
In laughs of love
-------------------------------------------------------
Searching with my good eye closed / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
Painted blue across my eyes
And tie the linen on
And I'm on my way
Looking for the paradigm
So I can pass it off
Is it on my side
Is to the sky
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
If I took you for a ride
Would you take it wrong
Or would you make it right
Looking for a pedestal
That I can put you on
And be on my way
Is it to the sky
Looking to the sky and down
Searching for a ground
With my good eye closed
Stop you're trying to bruise my mind
I can do it on my own
Stop you're trying to kill my time
It's been my death since I was born
I don't remember half the time
If I'm hiding or I'm lost
But I'm on my way
-------------------------------------------------------
Room a thousand years wide / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
Listen, hear, he is inside
One who lives while others lie
I close my eyes and walk a thousand years
A thousand years that aren't mine
It seems he's near me as I walk
One who loved what love denied
He lives these years that I walk blind
All these years cannot be mine
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
A thousand doors a thousand lies
Rooms a thousand years wide
He walks in the cold sun and wind
All these years will not begin
Tomorrow begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
Begat tomorrow
-------------------------------------------------------
Mind riot / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
I was slipping through the cracks
Of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walking in two ton shoes
Now somebody is talking about a
Third world war
And the police said this was normal control
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
I was crying from my eye teeth and
Bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull
I build an elevator from his bones
Had to climb to the top floor just
To stamp out the coals
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within
I'm luck's last match struck
In the pooring down wind
-------------------------------------------------------
Drawing flies / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes
With X's in my eyes and drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with 's in
My eyes, and drawing flies
Hey what you yellin'
About, conditions, permission, mirrored self affliction
Hey what you yellin' about sadist's
Co-addiction, perfect analogies
Hey what you yellin' about conditions
Permission mirrored self affliction
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistaol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
-------------------------------------------------------
Holy water / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
Holy water on the brain
And I'm losing sleep
Holy bible on the night stand
Next to me
As I'm raped by
Another monkey circus freak
Trying to take my
Indignance away from me
Holy water is rusting me
Bloody murder is the best
I've heard her scream
Holy devil in the flesh
Some might believe
And they take thine
Majesty so seriously
It's the big lies
That are more likely to e believed
Holy water is rusting me
Damn the water if it's life
You want to drink
Mind your mother if
It makes you feel at ease
As you're raped by another
Monkey circus freak
It's the big lies that are
More likely to be believed
-------------------------------------------------------
New damage / Soundgarden (Badmotorfinger)
When new damage comes
It's a new faceless poison
A new world order
It's new damage done
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
When new damage comes
It's a new word for plague
A new world order
A new word for hate
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
The wreck is going down
Get out before you drown
-------------------------------------------------------
Knives / Therapy? (Troublegum)
My girlfriend says that I need help
My boyfriend says I'd be better off dead
I'm gonna get drunk
Come round and fuck you up
I'm gonna get drunk
Come round and fuck you up
And you can't help my life
But you can hide the knives
My girlfriend says that I'm confused
My boyfriend says that I'm bad news
All people are shit
Bad trip tattoed on my brain
All people are shit
Bad trip tattoed on my brain
And you can't help my life
But you can hide the knives
I wanna crawl up inside you and die
I wanna crawl up inside you and die
I wanna crawl up inside you and die
I wanna crawl up inside you and die
And you can't help my life
But you can hide the knives
And you can't help my life
But you can hide the knives

Screamager / Therapy? (Troublegum)
With a face like this
I won't break any hearts
And thinking like that
I won't make any friends
Screw that, forget about that
I don't wanna hear about anything like that
Screw that, forget about that
I don't wanna know about anything like that
I've got nothing to do 'cept
hang around and get screwed up on you
Your beauty makes me feel alone
I look inside but no one's home
Screw that, forget about that
I don't wanna hear about anything like that
Screw that, forget about that
I don't wanna know about anything like that
I've got nothing to do 'cept
hang around and get screwed up on you

Hellbelly / Therapy? (Troublegum)
I'm not affraid to die
I'm just scared of going to hell
Your car salesman smile
Says it all
You just wanna be
Jesus without the suffering
Jesus without the suffering
Jesus without the suffering

Old, twisted and white dead crow on a fence is your style

Stop it you're killing me / Therapy? (Troublegum)
The world is fucked
And so am I
Maybe it's the other way round
I can't seem to decide
Domestic refugees
Sink in the same boat as me
We suffer alone
And these days I don't
Wanna go home
Idiots authority promising equality
So where is the land of the free?
Stop it you're killing me
Love is for the weak
Or so you'd have me believe
The thought's killing me
No body but a head O.D. don't know what's worse
The loss of death
Or the gain of birth I try to understand
I can't accept just
What I am idiots authority
Promising equality
So where is the land of the free?
Stop it you're killing me
I'm leaving on a train that's six miles down
Can't feel no pain
Can't feel you now
When you drift away I'm singing
"On my way I'm telling you"
I can hear you coming to
I can see you pushing
Through tell me can you see the can you feel the rain
Idiots authority promising equality
So where is the land of the free?
Stop it you're killing me
Idiots
Authority
Promising equality
So where is the land of the free?
Stop it you're killing me
-------------------------------------------------------
Nowhere / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Heaven kicked you out
You wouldn't wear a tie
Staring at some pictures
By yourself
At something that you want
To have but will never get
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
You get drunk every night
You can't get drunk on life
Shouting at the world
You'll never change
But it's what's inside you've
Got to rearragne
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Heaven kicked you out
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
-------------------------------------------------------
Die laughing / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Give me something to breath
Give me a reason to live
Close your eyes and see what you have inside
I think I've gone insane
Can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane
And your friends just tell you lies
Then you realize
I think I've gone insane
I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane
I think I've gone insane
I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane
Lost in a world with no reality
I'm frightened to move
I'm frightened to speak
And I would kill for a good night sleep
I'm feeling I'm feeling dead
I think I've gone insane
I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane
I think I've gone insane
I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane
-------------------------------------------------------
Unbeliever / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Don't belong in this world
Or the next one
Wasting every day to my own end
Feeling awkward, feeling clumsy, hating everything I've ever done
before
Then you leave me
Like the others
Leave me too much time
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Had enough of reinventing memories living in the shadow of your
charm
The shrapnel of your insults buried deeper
Than confidence can ever overcome then you leave me like the
others
Leave me too much time
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
Choking on anticipation waiting
On you to say something to bring me back
All I want's a trace of recognition
You're silence is as heavy as my eyes
Then you leave me like the others
Leave me too much time
On my own
On my own
On my own
On my own
-------------------------------------------------------
Trigger inside / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Here comes a girl
With perfect teeth
I bet she won't be
Smiling at me
I know how Jeffry Dahmer feels
Lonely, lonely
I was awkward
As a child
Blueprint for
My wretched life
Confidence I've been denied
Lonely, lonely
Something in my head
It won't swith off when
I'm alone
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I get the feeling I've been cheated
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I get the feeling I've been cheated
My hands are shaking
My head's a mess
Trying to wring some
Words from my breath
I die before you
You're not impressed
Lonely, lonely
I look uglier when I cry
Want to punch that
Look from your life
One in the eye
For the beautifull people
Lonely, lonely
Something in my head
It won't switch off when
I'm alone
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I get the feeling I've been cheated
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I get the feeling I've been cheated
-------------------------------------------------------
Lunacy booth / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Reveal yourself to me like cheap pornography
Picking at my guilt with promises of hell
Christ, revealed sin it's all that you know
Glad my mirror's broken my image is a burden
I want to lose myself in the coming of the lord
Christ, revealed sin it's all that you know
Reveal yourself to me
I wanna lose myself
Reveal yourself to me
I wanna lose myself
Reveal yourself to me
I wanna lose myself
Reveal yourself to me
I wanna lose myself
Christ, revealed sin it's all that you know
Christ, revealed sin it's all that you know
-------------------------------------------------------
Isolation / Therapy? (Troublegum)
In the clear of the day every evening he calls for a love from
above
Carefully watch for a reason mistaking devotion and love
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Surrender to self preservation
And brothers who care for themselves
As long as it touches perfection
A person is like everything else
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Mother I tried do believe me I'm doing the best that I can
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person I am
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
But if you could just see the beauty whose face I could never
describe
Who's playing the game to distraction
Isn't my heart for a prize?
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
-------------------------------------------------------
Turn / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Turn and face the strange
The door's open you're awake
You're storming heaven without thought
You're storming heaven without God
Remember, I know where you live
And I know you're on your own
I may forget I don't forgive
I'm always home
You turn and face the strange
You turn and face yourself I know when you lie
The brightness darkens in your eyes
This is yours to take control
This is yours now hold your own
Remember, I know where you live
And I know you're on your own
I may forget I don't forgive
I'm always home
You turn and face the strange
You turn and face yourself
You turn ... barging into the presence of God
-------------------------------------------------------
Femtex / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Masturbation saved my life
I was nervous as a child
You were someone out of my hands
Couldn't understand or have
She's not trying to catch
Your eye
She's just trying to get a life
He feels weak when she is strong
Feeling threatened when he's wrong
Femination generation
Femination generation
Do you want a fucky?
Do you want a friend?
Do you want sex?
Do you want revenge?
You never make love with a smile on your face
Punished with love and rewarded with hate
Femination generation
Femination generation
I'm just with you
That will never mean that I'm just for you
-------------------------------------------------------
Unrequited / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Don't wake me
I'm so empty
I I I tried
I'm sorry
I've seen you without me

You can say what you want I've seen you without me
I've seen you without me
I've seen you without me
I've seen you without me
I know that you'll
Understand

Brainsaw / Therapy? (Troublegum)
Judas Judas
I thought you were my friend
Judas Judas
You're just the same as them
I'm in hell and I'm alone
Liar liar
You said you'd stay with me
Liar liar
Laughing as you leave
I'm in hell and I'm alone
I thought you were my friend
You're just the same as the rest
I thought you were my friend
You're just the same as the rest

You sucked it all from me
User user
Your bullshit I believed
I'm in hell and I'm alone

Where the streets have no name / U2 (The joshua tree)
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to rear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love, burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you . . . . .
(It's all I can do)
The cities a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trapled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on the desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do)
-------------------------------------------------------
I still haven't found what I'm looking for / U2 (The joshua tree)
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
It was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colour will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running
You broke the bonds
You loosed the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame
And my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
-------------------------------------------------------
With or without you / U2 (The joshua tree)
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorne twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And i wait .... without you
With or without you
With or without you
Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away
My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
-------------------------------------------------------
Bullet the blue sky / U2 (The joshua tree)
In the howling wind comes a stinging rain
See it driving nails in the soul of the tree of pain
From the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Suit and tie comes up to me
His face red
Like a rose on a thorne bush
Like all the colours of a royal flush
And he's peeling off those dollar bills
(Slapping them down), one hundred, two hundred
And I can see the fighter planes
And I can see the fighter planes
Across the mud huts as the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Up the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes deep into saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside is America
Outside is America
-------------------------------------------------------
Running to stand still / U2 (The joshua tree)
And so she woke up
From where she was lying still
Said we got to do something about where we're going
Step on a steam train
Step out of the driving rain
Maybe run from the darkness in the night
Singing Ha La La La De Day
Singing Ha La La La De Day
Sweet the sin
But bitter the taste in my mouth
I see seven towers
But I only see one way out
You got to cry without weeping
Talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice, you know
I took the poison from the poison stream
Then I floated out of here
Singing Ha La La La De Day
Singing Ha La La La De Day
She runs through the streets
With her eyes painted red
Under black belly of cloud in the rain
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls stolen from the sea
She is raging
She is raging and the storm blows up in her eyes
She will suffer the needle chill
She is running to stand still
-------------------------------------------------------
Red hill mining town / U2 (The joshua tree)
From father to son
The blood runs thin
Our faces frozen (stiff) against the wind
The seam is split
The coal face craced
The lines are long
And there's no going back
Through hands of steel
And a heart of stone
Our labour day has come and gone
And you leave us holding on
In Red Hill Town
As the lights go down
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm holding on
You're all that's left to hold on to
The glass is cut
The bottle run dry
Our love runs cold
In the caverns of the night
We're wounded by fear
Injured in doubt
I can lose myself
You I can't live without
Because you keep me holding on
In Red Hill Town as the lights go down
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hold on to
I'm holding on
You're all that's left to hold on to
And we scorch the earth
Set fire to the sky
Stoop so low to reach so high
A link is lost
The chain undone
Now we wait all day
For the night to come
And it comes
And it comes
Like a hunter (child)
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hang on to
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hang on to
We see love slowly stripped away
Our love, has seen a better day
I'm hanging on
You're all that's left to hang on to
I'm holding on
You're all that's left to hang on to
See the lights go down on Red Hill Town
See lights go down on Red Hill Town

In God's country / U2 (The joshua tree)
Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run
But soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons
And in bows
Like a siren she calls (to me)
Sleep comes like a drug ... In God's country
Sad eyes crooked crosses ... In God's country
Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
To see what's on the other side
She is Liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug ... In God's country
Sad eyes crooked crosses ... In God's country
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
-------------------------------------------------------
Trip through your wires / U2 (The joshua tree)
In the distance
She saw me coming
I was calling out
I was calling out
Still shaking
Still in pain
You put me back together again
I was cold
And you clothed me honey
I was cold
And you lifted me honey
Angel or devil
I was thirsty
And you wet my lips
You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire
I trip through your wires
I was broken, bent out of shape
I was naked in the clothes you made
My lips were dry, throat like rust
You gave me shelter
From the heat and the dust
There's no more water in the well
No more water in the well
Angel or devil
I was thisty and you wet my lips
You, I'm waiting for you
You, you set my desire
I trip through your wires
Thunder, thunder on the mountain
There's a rain cloud in the desert sky
In the distance you saw me coming
I was calling out
I was calling out
-------------------------------------------------------
One tree hill / U2 (The joshua tree)
We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill
As the day begs the night for mercy
Your sun so bright it leaves no shadows, only scars
Carved into stone on the face of earth
The moon is up and over One Tree Hill
We see the sun go down in your eyes
You ran like a river to the sea
Like a river to the sea
And in our world a heart of darkness, a firezone
Where poets speak their hearts, then bleed for it
Jara sang his song a weapon, in the hands of love
You know his blood still cries from the ground
It runs like a river to the sea
Like a river to the sea
I don't believe in painted roses or bleeding hearts
While bullets rape the night of the mercyfull
I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky
And the moon has truned red over One Tree Hill
We run like a river to the sea
Like a river to the sea

Exit / U2 (The Joshua Tree)
You know he got the cure ... but then he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love ...
His head it felt heavy
As he cut across the land
A dog started crying
Like a broken hearted man
At the howling wind ...
The howling wind
He went deeper into black
Deeper into white ... he could see
The stars shine
Like nails in the night
He felt the healing
Healing, healing, healing
Hands of love
Like the stars shiny, shiny
From above
He put his hands in the pocket
His finger on the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
His heart he could feel
Was beating, beating
Beating, beating oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love
He saw the hands that build
Could also pull down ...
The hands of love

Mothers of the disappeared / U2 (The joshua tree)
Midnight, our sons and daughters
Were cut down and taken from us
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the wind
We hear their laughter
In the rain
We see their tears
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
Night hangs like a prisoner
Stretched over black and blue
Hear their heartbeat
We hear their heartbeat
In the trees
Our sons stand naked
Through the walls
Our daughters cry
See their tears in the rainfall
