I know it’s a movie soundtrack and all… but I love it!

Another way to Die
By Alica Keys and Jack White

Another ringer with the slick trigger finger
For her majesty
Another one with the golden tongue
Poisoning your fantasy
Another bill from a killer turned a thriller to a tragedy

Well, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die

Another tricky little gun
Giving solace to the one
That will never see the sunshine
Another inch of your life sacrificed for you brother
In the nick of time
Another dirty money
Heaven sent honey
Turnin’ on a dime

Oh, a door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die

Another girl with her finger on the world
Singing to you what you want to hear
Another gun thrown down and surrendered
Took away your fear
Another man that stands behind you
Lookin’ in the mirror!

A door left open
A woman walking by
A drop in the water
A look in the eye
A phone on the table
A man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
Is just
Another way to die!

And another by Bon Jovi

It’s My Life

This ain’t a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd
You’re gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It’s my life
It’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow’s getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain’t even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

It’s my life
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
'Cause it’s my life

Better stand tall when they’re calling you out
Don’t bend, don’t break, baby, don’t back down

It’s my life
And it’s now or never
'Cause I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive

It’s my life
And it’s now or never
'Cause I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
'Cause it’s my life!

IRON MAIDEN-The Prisoner

“We want information, information, information.”
“Who are you?”
“The new number two.”
“Who is number one?”
“You are number six.”
“I am not a number, I am a free man.”
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”

I’m on the run, I kill to eat.
I’m starving now, I’m feeling dead on my feet.
Going all the way, I’m nature’s beast.
Do what I want, I’ll do as I please.

Run! Fight! To breathe! It’s tough!
Now you see me (haha!) Now you don’t.
Break the walls, I’m coming out.

Not a prisoner I’m a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don’t care, where the past was,
I know where I’m going…Out!

If you kill me, it’s self-defense,
If I kill you, then I call it vengeance.
Spit in your eye, I will defy,
you’ll be afraid when I call out your name.

Run! Fight! To breathe! It’s gonna be tough!
Now you see me, and now you don’t.
Break the walls, I’m coming out.

Not a prisoner, I’m a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don’t care, where the past was,
I know where I’m going.

I’m not a number, I’m a free man,
Live my life where I want to.
You’d better scratch me from your black book,
'cause I’ll run rings around you.

[Solo]

Not a prisoner, I’m a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don’t care where the past was,
I know where I’m going.

I’m not a number, I’m a free man,
Live my life where I want to.
You’d better scratch me from your black book,
'cause I’ll run rings around you.

Not a prisoner, I’m a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Don’t care where the past was,
I know where I’m going.

The lyrics of “The Champion”:

144

two headed boy pt.2 by Neutral Milk Hotel

Daddy please hear this song that I sing
In your heart there’s a spark that just screams
For a lover to bring a child to your chest that could lay as you sleep
And love all you have left like your boy used to be
Long ago wrapped in sheets warm and wet

Blister please with those wings in your spine
Love to be with a brother of mine
How he’d love to find your tongue in his teeth
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight
Sounding only at night as you sleep

Brother see we are one in the same
And you left with your head filled with flames
And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth
Push the pieces in place
Make your smile sweet to see
Don’t you take this away
I’m still wanting my face on your cheek

And when we break we’ll wait for our miracle
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies
And when we break we’ll wait for our miracle
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life

Two headed boy she is all you could need
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires
And retire to sheets safe and clean
But don’t hate her when she gets up to leave

Amongst my favorites. :happy:

Mother Nature’s Son - The Beatles

Born a poor young country boy–Mother Nature’s son
All day long I’m sitting singing songs for everyone.

Sit beside a mountain stream–see her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.

Find me in my field of grass–Mother Nature’s son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Mother Nature’s son.

147

Don’t know what song it is

Fragment of the chorus:

But I really want to,
Do you in the backseat of my car!

WTF at its finest, people.
Does anyone know what this song’s name is?

Transylvanian Concubine
Rasputina, a horror bock band, in their début album Thanks for the Ether.

If you want to know how
To fly high, then go now
To the place where all the concubines
Meet and converse with them
Marvel at their pale skin
Wonder how they chew on their pointy
Teeth and hair are beauty
They know it’s their duty
To be countess in their hearts and their
Minds that have to whisper
See in them a sister
Look into their eyes and you’ll become
Transylvanian Concubine.
You know what flows here like wine.

Sorrow is their master
Cackling with laughter
Now he’s having just one piece of
Cakey is their make-up
Catholics try to shake up
All the things that form their lives, but they’re
Dead, their sighs, their songs
They know what they do is wrong.
Stay here with us, it’s just time.
Transylvanian Concubine.

Candelabra’s lighted
Satan has been sighted
Never has there been an evening like
This is what they wanted
Always to feel hunted
You can never be too rich or too
Thin. The blood has run out.
Fangs ruin any cute pout
Morning has come now they’ve flown
What have you learned from what has been shown?

Bruno: Bock band?

I’m Only Sleeping - Beatles

When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I’m still yawning
When I’m in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don’t wake me, no
don’t shake me
Leave me where I am
I’m only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I’m lazy
I don’t mind, I think they’re crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find, there’s no need

Please don’t spoil my day
I’m miles away
And after all
I’m only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don’t spoil my day
I’m miles away
And after all
I’m only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I’m still yawning
When I’m in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Please don’t wake me, no
don’t shake me
Leave me where I am
I’m only sleeping

Michelle Branch- Goodbye to you

Of all the things I’ve believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I’ve been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I’m hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I’m starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,

[Chorus:]
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can’t live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it’s not right

[Chorus]

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what’s yours and I want what’s mine
I want you
But I’m not giving in this time

[Chorus x2]

And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You’re my shooting star

:hugs:
