Come Sweet Death Lyrics
Voltaire

You’re like a dream
Dipped in delirium.
You’re my destiny
And my destruction.
I desire you
I despair of you.
And all endlessly.

Come sweet Death
Sing me a serenade
To wash away
The blood that stains
Every single part of me.
Come on Death
Play me a symphony
Then take me
For a bite to eat.
There’s a vendor
Just down the way.

You come to me
In my darkest moment.
I’ve no regrets,
Nothing left to lament.
No eerie skull.
No scary scythe.
You’re a pretty face.
And a warm embrace.
I never dreamed
Death could be so sweet
'Til she came for me.

Come sweet Death
Sing me a serenade
To wash away
The blood that stains
Every single part of me.
Come on Death
Play me a symphony
Then take me
For a bite to eat.
There’s a vendor
Just down the way.

Take me away.

Tell the other six,
'Don’t stay up late,
We’ve gone away on holiday,
No need to fear
No need to cry
Just because
This is goodbye.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, cruel world".

[Sarah]

I freakin love this song : )

Leave Out All The Rest-Linkin Park

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I’m done here

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Don’t be afraid
I’ve taken my beating
I’ve shared what I made

I’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you’re asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
[End Chorus]

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed

Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside
You’ve learned to hide so well

Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can’t be who you are
I can’t be who you are

[moogle (mognet)]

Due to the current quest … I woke up with this song playing in my head

ROCK STAR Nickelback

[i]I’m through with standing in line
to the clubs i’ll never get in
It’s like the bottom of the ninth
and I’m never gonna win
This life hasn’t turned out
quite the way I want it to be

(tell me what you want)

I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me

(yeah,so what you need)

I’ll need a, a credit card that’s got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet

(Been there done that)

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between cher and
James Dean is fine for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I’m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair and change my name

[CHORUS]
'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
with her bleach blonde hair
and well…
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free

(I have a quesadilla… on the house)

I’m gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me

(So how ya gonna do it?)

I’m gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I’d even cut my hair
And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
with her bleach blonde hair
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary
in today’s who’s who
We’ll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a
drug dealer on speed dial
well…
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I’m gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
Get washed-up singers writing all my songs
Lip sync 'em every night so I don’t get 'em wrong

Well we all just wanna be big rockstars
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We’ll all stay skinny cause we just won’t eat
And we’ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger’s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
with her bleach blonde hair
And we’ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary
in today’s who’s who
We’ll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody’s got a
drug dealer on speed dial well…
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar[/i]

edit … Sunday 3rd August
I was just thinking of an old vinyl LP I used to own … and had to look up the lyrics to three songs … all by Jim Reeves
[color=blue]
I’ve Enjoyed As Much Of This As I Can Stand

You look lovelier tonight than I remember I’m so glat I got to see you once again
I’ve enjoyed just sitting down and reminiscing
But I’ve enjoyed as much of this as I can stand
There’s so much more between us than this table
All those years all those dreams all those plans
Guess you know without me saying I still love you
But I’ve enjoyed as much of this as I can stand
[ guitar ]
So you say you’re happy now you’ve found a new love
Tell him I said he’s a lucky lucky man
No I don’t think I’ll have time to see his picture
I’ve enjoyed as much of this as I can stand
There’s so much more between us…[/color]

[color=indigo]
Little Ole Dime

Little ole dime you’re the last of a pocketful I’ve put all the others in this telephone
I’ve called all over town for a lost love let this last number be the right one
Little ole dime you’re my last chance to find her
And I’m placing all my last hopes on you
Let me tell her I’ll always be waiting
Just in case things don’t work out with someone new
Little ole dime please don’t disappoint me I can’t call anymore you’re my last dime
Tomorrow she’ll be gone with her new love
And I’ve just got a talk to her one more time
[ guitar ]
Little ole dime as you leave my shaking fingers I pray I’ll hear her answer the phone
The sound of her voice will ease my heartaches
Even though I know tomorrow she’ll be gone
Little ole dime here you go after the others if she answers or not it’s still goodbye
I’m almost afraid to dial the number if she isn’t there I know I’m gonna cry
Little ole dime please don’t disappoint me…[/color]

[color=darkblue]Lonely Music

An empty glass another coin in the jukebox this pain inside keeps hurtin’ on and on
The music starts a blue blue song is playing
You don’t need me anymore now I’m alone
But the guy who writes that lonely music
Needs lonely hearts like mine that he can write about
As the words tell their story how I miss you
This lonely music keeps reminding me of you
So talk to me talk to me oh lonely music it tells me I’m a fool for trusting you
Just can’t hold back the tears any longer this lonely music keeps reminding me of you
[ steel ]
So talk to me talk to me oh lonely music…[/color]

[color=blue]Talking Walls

When the shades of twilight close the day in my solitute I steal away
And a sweet familiar voice calls from the shadows of the talking walls
The talking walls bring laughter tears and pain
A touch of summer’s love and winter’s rain
Every step we made my heart recalls you are there behind the talking walls
[ piano ]
As they speak to me I hear your name and a spark is kindled to a flame
Such a vivid memory walks in and I’m reaching for the phone again
The talking walls bring laughter…[/color]

Californication - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind’s elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
It’s Californication

It’s the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It’s understood that Hollywood
sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is that war your waging

[Chorus:]
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Marry me girl be my fairy to the world
Be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It’s Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon’s not far away
It’s Californication

Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody’s been there
and
I don’t mean on vacation

[Chorus]

Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl’s guitar
They’re just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
From Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest
There is no test
But this is what you’re craving

[Chorus]

[Scarecrow]

Penny Lane - The Beatles

In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he’s had the pleasure to have known,
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It’s a clean machine.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she’s in a play
She is anyway.

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.

Wake Up by Coheed and Cambria

I’m gonna ride this plane
Out of your life again
I wish that I could stay
But you argue

And more than this I wish
You could’ve seen my face
In backseat, staring out
Of the window

I’d do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
‘Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

I’ve earned, through hope and faith
All the curves around your face
That I’m the one you’ll hold
Forever

If morning never comes
For either one of us
Then this, I pray to you
Wherever

I’d do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

I’d do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
‘Cause I won’t be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

[Mrs_T]

[center]Into The West
Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You’ve come to journey’s end
Sleep now
And dream of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across the distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away
Safe in my arms
You’re only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come to carry you home

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time
Don’t say: «We have come now to the end»
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you’ll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

And all will turn
To silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West[/center]

Eminence Front - The Who
written by Pete Townshend

The sun shines
People forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
The girls smile
People forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
People forget
Forget they’re hiding.

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It’s a put-on.
It’s an eminence front
It’s an eminence front – It’s a put-on
An eminence front
Eminence front - put-on
Eminence front
It’s an eminence front
I’ts an eminence front – It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on

Come and join the party
Dress to kill
Won’t you come and join the party
Dress to kill
Dress to kill.

The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they’re hiding.

Behind an eminence front
An eminence front - it’s a put-on
It is an eminence front
Eminence front – It’s a put-on
An eminence front
An eminence front - put-on
Eminence front
It’s an eminence front - it’s a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on
It’s a put-on

Come and join the party
Dress to
Come and join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come and join the party
Dress to kill

Dress yourself to kill.

media.brucespringsteen.net/non_s … 331_1S.mov - I was at that concert where this was filmed. Truly an amazingly talented and awesome human being.

Trapped, by Jimmy Cliff, performed by Bruce Springsteen. To be found on Essential Bruce Springsteen.

Well it seems like I’m caught up in your trap again
And it seems like I’ll be wearin’ the same ol’ chains
Good will conquer evil and the truth will set you free
Then I know someday I’ll find the key
Then I know somewhere I’ll find the key
Well it seem like I’ve been playin’ the game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong
Well when the game is over, I won’t walk out a loser
And I know that I’ll walk out of here again
And I know that someday I’ll walk out of here again

But now I’m trapped…oh yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah!

Now it seems like I’ve been sleepin’ in your bed too long
And it seems like you’ve been meanin’ to do me harm
But I’ll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me
And someday I’ll walk out of here again
Yeah I know someday I’ll walk out of here again

(chorus)

Well it seem like I’ve been playin’ the game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong

Because I’m trapped…oh yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah!

I’m trapped…oh yeah yeah!
Trapped…oh yeah yeah
Trapped…oh yeahhhhhh
Trapped…oh yeahhhh
I’m trapped.

You - Bad Religion

There’s a place where everyone can be happy.
It’s the most beautiful place in the whole fucking world.
It’s made of candy canes and planes and bright red choo-choo trains,
And the meanest little boys and the most innocent little girls,
And you know I wish that I could got there.
It’s a road that I have not found.
And I wish you the best of luck, dear.
Drop a card or letter to my side of town.
Because there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friend,
But baby I’m amazed at the hate that you can send and
You… painted my entire world.
But I… don’t have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled.
And I won’t forget it.
There’s a place where everyone can be right,
Even though you remain determined to be opposed.
Admittance requires no qualifications:
It’s where everyone has been and where everybody goes.
So please try not to be impatient,
For we all hate standing in line.
And when the farm is good and bought, you’ll be there without a thought,
And eternity, my friend, is a long fucking time.
Because there’s no time for fussing and fighting my friend,
But baby I’m amazed at the hate that you can send and
You… painted my entire world.
But I… don’t have the turpentine to clean what you have soiled.
And I won’t forget it.
