Thought I'd post some smart arse lyrics instead of depressing ones for a change.... So here's two tracks off my favourite Devo album (Duty Now For The Future)

November by Azure Ray

So i'm waiting for this test to end
So these lighter days can soon begin
I'll be alone but maybe more carefree
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly

I was afraid to be alone
Now I’m scared that’s how I’d like to be
All these faces none the same
How can there be so many personalities

So many lifeless empty hands
So many hearts in great demand
And now my sorrow seems so far away
Until i'm taken by these bolts of pain

But i turn them off and tuck them away
till these rainy days that make them stay
And then i'll cry so hard to these sad songs
And the words still ring, once here now gone

And they echo through my head everyday
And i don’t think they'll ever go away
Just like thinking of your childhood home
But we can’t go back we're on our own

Oh,
But i'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself
I’ll find it in myself

So we’re speeding towards that time of year
To the day that marks you're not here
And i think i'll want to be alone
So please understand that i don’t answer the phone

I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls
Until i can see nothing at all
Only particles some fast some slow
All my eyes can see is all i know

Ohh..
But i'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself
I'll find it in myself

Yet another one.... I like a lot of lyrics (By the way, if anyone thinks we should start a thread for song lyrics in the (Im)mature forum, shout up)

Placebo - Days Before You Came

The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota
One of my favorite "Weird" Al originals. Its on the often overlooked, UHF soundtrack.

From "Bride and Prejudice"

Take Me To Love, Pt. 1

Show me the way
Take me to love
Another world
How I long to be
Where fallen stars must lie
Roses bloom, never die
Show me the way
Take me to love
Show me the way
Take me to love

A cold sunset
Gold drop, left to melt
Close my eyes and wish I could see
If it is near
Or far from me
This place called love
Is it for real?
Or is it just a dream?
Show me the way
Take me to love
Another world
How I long to be
Under clouds that don't cry
Wounded birds can soar high
Show me the way
Take me to love


Take Me To Love, Pt. 2

Show me the way
Take me to love
Things only heard now I want to feel
My soul caressed by silken breeze
Whisper secrets to listening trees
Show me that world
Take me to love
Show me the way
Take me to love
Come out, blue moon
I need a friend soon
To share what I feel, it's so rare
Shine down on me so I can see
The silver street that leads me to the place I want to be

A wish a dream
Magic go it does seem
Has time stood still just for me
It's saying that we're meant to be together forever one and other's destinys

Show me the way
Take me to love
Things only heard now I wanna see
Sun sets with glowing flowers
Nights live with story shows
Show them that world
Take me to love
Show me the way
Take me to love

Could we fly away
Lie on a cloud all day
Hold hands and get kissed by the sun
Shall we swim out deep
Watch dolphins leap
Like my heart would if you said I was the only one
Show me the way
Take me to love
Things only heard now I wanna be
Running through fields as the bird flies
Lost in the twilight of your eyes
Show me that world
Take me to love

This song always reminds me of my stepfather (except the boyfriend references). Depressing, eh?

Alanis Morisette- Sympathetic Character

I was afraid you'd hit me if i'd spoken up I was
afraid of your physical strength I was afraid
you'd hit below the belt I was afraid of your
sucker punch I was afraid of you reducing me
I was afraid of your alocohol breath I was afraid
of your complete disregard for me I was afraid
of your temper I was afraid of handles being
flown off of I was afraid of holes being punched
into walls I was afraid of your testosterone

I have as much rage as you have
I have as much pain as you do
I've lived as much hell as you have
and i've kept mine bubbling under for you

you were my best friend
you were my lover
you were my mentor
you were my brother
you were my partner
you were my teacher
you were my very own sympathetic character

I was afraid of verbal daggers I was afraid of the
calm before the storm I was afraid for my own
bones I was afraid of your seduction I was afraid
of your coersion I was afraid of your rejection
I was afraid of your intimidation I was afraid of
your punishment I was afraid of your icy silences
I was afraid of your volume I was afraid of your
manipulation I was afraid of your explosions

I have as much rage as you have
I have as much pain as you do
I've lived as much hell as you have
and i've kept mine bubbling under for you

[chorus]
you were my keeper
you were my anchor
you were my family
you were my saviour
and therein lay the issue
and therein lay the problem

[post deleted, it shouldn't have been there in the first place, was an error, but the delete button vaished]

Let Me Tell You Bout My Best Friend
He's a warm-hearted person who'll love me to the end
People let me tell you 'bout my Best Friend
He's one boy cuddly toy my up, my down my pride and joy

People, let me tell you now he's so much fun
Whether we're talking man to man
Or whether we're talking son to son
Cause he's my Best Friend, now

This song reminds me of my Dog, Chico

Curious Thing
Amy Grant


There was this guy, He was down on his luck
He was truly poverty's child
Well, he had no home and he had no car
And he wore a weary smile
Moved out to L.A., knocked around for awhile
But he was going nowhere
Then he did this movie and it did really well
Now he's a millionaire

You see life is a curious thing
You see life, ooh life, is a curious thing

I know a man who could paint the town red
Had a college degree in fun
'Til the doorbell rang and long lost flame said
"This little boy is your son"
Gave him a suitcase and a bear
Left them in a cloud of dust
Now he's checking out schools and driving car pools
Learning to adjust

Chorus
He says life is a curious thing, yeah
You see life, ooh life is a curious thing
Well I know that it can be demanding
I know that it can be unkind
I don't really understand it
But, Lord sure knows I try

See life is a curious thing, yeah
See life, ooh life, is a curious thing

Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew
A pudgy girl back in school
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
The object of ridicule
The other day int he check out line
They were ringing up my rice and beans
There she was a pretty little face
On the cover of a magazine

Just goes to show that you never know
Just what tomorrow may bring
But I'll tell you this that what it is
Is seldom what it seems

I would post the words to the London Underground Song, but this thread isn't in the Mature Forum, so I won't.

I love your posts pizzaboss, they're always so nice and succinct. Just thought I'd let ya know, hehe. I like secret garden's version of that song (you raise me up). the o'neill brothers have a nice piano-only version, too.


"Looking for Space" by John Denver.

On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way.
Sometimes I wish that I could fly away
When I think that I'm moving, suddently things stand still
I'm afraid 'cause I think they always will

And I'm looking for space
And to find out who I am
And I'm looking to know and understand
It's a sweet, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
And sometimes I'm deep in despair

There are quite a few Nine Inch Nails songs that i love the lyrics to, but I'm worried they aren't suitable for this forum so I'll leave 'em out hehe. I especially like the lyrics to "Hurt" and "Somewhat Damaged."

I'm fond of Simon & Garfunkel, Nick Drake, and Leonard Cohen's lyrics, among others of course...

Every line in this song is a concern of mine, some of which I obsess about quite often.

"That I Would Be Good"
by Alanis Morisette
Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie

that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy

that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you

Limp Bizkit- Behind Blue Eyes:

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
And no one knows
What it's like to be hated
To be fated to telling only lies

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like i do, and i blame you!
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes.


Green Day-Boulevard Of Broken Dreams:

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's f***ed up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

Its "the who" that done "behind blue eyes" originally Sean. I dont know if your into classic rock but the who version is right up there with my favourite songs.
