Note:I’m not sure if this has been done before, if it has, I’m sorry, just tell me and I’ll close it!

Post the lyrics to some of your favourite songs! I’ll start:

System of a Down - Forest

Walk with me my little child
To the forest of denial
speak with me my only mind
walk with me until the time
and make the forest turn to wine
you take the legend for a fall
you saw the product
why can’t you see that you are my child
why don’t you know that you are my mind
tell everyone in the world, that I’m you
take this promise to the end of you
walk with me my little friend
Take this promise to the end
Speak with me my only mind
Walk with me until the end
And make the forest turn to sand
you take the legend for a fall
you saw the product
why can’t you see that you are my child
why don’t you know that you are my mind
tell everyone in the world, that I’m you
take this promise to the end of you
Take this promise for a ride
you saw the forest, now come inside
You took the legend for it’s fall
you saw the product of it all
no televisions in the air
no circumcisions on the chair
You made the weapons for us all
just look at us now
why can’t you see that you are my child
why don’t you know that you are my mind
tell everyone in the world, that I’m you
take this promise to the end of you

Well, that’s it. Post your own! :content:

Hehee…good one Dez…

My alltime fave song is ‘Learning To Fly’, Pink Floyd.
I’m sure everyone in the galaxy knows it already but I’ll post it anyway.

Yay! Everyone loves it, it’s a classic… :happy:

Mr. Roboto
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto,
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You’re wondering who I am-machine or mannequin
With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man!

I’ve got a secret I’ve been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don’t be surprised
I’m just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I’m not a robot without emotions-I’m not what you see
I’ve come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I’m not a hero, I’m not a saviour, forget what you know
I’m just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control

I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo…domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo…domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo…domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you

The problem’s plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.

The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see
My true identity…
I’m Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy!

Ah, always good. :wink:
Most music I listen to is instrumental anyway though.[/i]

One of my favourite songs (which is apt for this site) is a golden oldie I’ll try and hunt it down on the net and edit.
:dream:

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

FADE
Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream :dream: :dream: :dream: :dream:

Supper’s Ready by Genesis

The song is 23 minutes long :cool_laugh:

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes.
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,
I swear I saw your face change, it didn’t seem quite right.
…And it’s hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby don’t you know our love is true.

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies.
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright,
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly.
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand.
…And it’s hey babe your supper’s waiting for you.
Hey my baby, don’t you know our love is true.

I’ve been so far from here,
Far from your warm arms.
It’s good to feel you again,
It’s been a long long time. Hasn’t it?

I know a farmer who looks after the farm.
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest.
I know a fireman who looks after the fire.

You, can’t you see he’s fooled you all.
Yes, he’s here again, can’t you see he’s fooled you all.
Share his peace,
Sign the lease.
He’s a supersonic scientist,
He’s the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.
Look, look into my mouth he cries,
And all the children lost down many paths,
I bet my life you’ll walk inside
Hand in hand,
gland in gland
With a spoonful of miracle,
He’s the guaranteed eternal sanctuary.
We will rock you, rock you little snake,
We will keep you snug and warm.

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest,
We walked across the fields to see the children of the West,
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors
standing still below the ground,
Waiting for battle.

The fight’s begun, they’ve been released.
Killing foe for peace…bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang…
And they’re giving me a wonderful potion,
'Cos I cannot contain my emotion.
And even though I’m feeling good,
Something tells me I’d better activate my prayer capsule.

Today’s a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate.
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord.

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,
We climb up a mountain of human flesh,
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
A young figure sits still by a pool,
He’s been stamped “Human Bacon” by some butchery tool.
(He is you)
Social Security took care of this lad.
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.
A flower?

If you go down to Willow Farm,
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it’s full of surprise, everyone lies,
like the fox on the rocks,
and the musical box.
Oh, there’s Mum & Dad, and good and bad,
and everyone’s happy to be here.

There’s Winston Churchill dressed in drag,
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,
the egg was a bird.
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they’re hard on your tail)
Hadn’t you heard?
(They’re going to change you into a human being!)
Yes, we’re happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,
and wonderfully clean in the morning.

We’ve got everything, we’re growing everything,
We’ve got some in
We’ve got some out
We’ve got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we’re changing everyone,
you name them all,
We’ve had them here,
And the real stars are still to appear.

ALL CHANGE!

Feel your body melt;
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,
You’re all full of ball.

Dad to dam to dum to mum
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,
You’re all full of ball.

Let me hear you lies, we’re living this up to the eyes.
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
Momma I want you now.

And as you listen to my voice
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause.
You’ve been here all the time,
Like it or not, like what you got,
You’re under the soil (the soil, the soil),
Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil, the soil!).
So we’ll end with a whistle and end with a bang
and all of us fit in our places.

With the guards of Magog, swarming around,
The Pied Piper takes his children underground.
Dragons coming out of the sea,
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.
He brings down the fire from the skies,
You can tell he’s doing well by the look in human eyes.
Better not compromise.
It won’t be easy.

666 is no longer alone,
He’s getting out the marrow in your back bone,
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,
In blood, he’s writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.

And it’s hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,
Hey my baby, don’t you know our love is true,
I’ve been so far from here,
Far from your loving arms,
Now I’m back again, and babe it’s gonna work out fine.

Can’t you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours, in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.

There’s an angel standing in the sun, and he’s crying with a loud voice,
“This is the supper of the mighty one”,
Lord of Lords,
King of Kings,
Has returned to lead his children home,
To take them to the new Jerusalem.

overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
and deep beneath the rolling waves
in labyrinths of coral caves
the echo of a distant time
comes willowing across the sand
and everything is green and submarine

and no one showed us to the land
and no one knows the wheres or whys
but something stirs and something tries
and starts to climb towards the light

strangers passing in the street
by chance two separate glances meet
and I am you and what I see is me
and do i take you by the hand
and lead you through the land
and help me understand the best I can

and no one calls us to move on
and no one forces down our eyes
and no one speaks and no one tries
and no one flies around the sun

cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes
inviting and inciting me to rise
and through the window in the wall
comes streaming in on sunlight wings
a million bright ambassadors of morning

and no one sings me lullabies
and no one makes me close my eyes
and so I throw the windows wide
and call to you across the sky

-pink floyd, echoes

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On

Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say " Life is too short"
“The here and the now”
And " Youre only given one shot" But could there be more Have I lived before Or could this be all that weve got?

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright Because I believe That after were gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I`m not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright Because I believe That after were gone
The spirit carries on

[V:]
“Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave Because Im no longer here
But please never let
You memories of me disappear”

[N:]
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has help me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victorias real I finally feel At peace with the girl in my dreams And now that Im here
It`s perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
Id be allright Because I believe That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Road Trippin’

[b]Road trippin’ with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It’s time to leave this town
It’s time to steal away
Let’s go get lost
Anywhere in the U.S.A.

Let’s go get lost
Let’s go get lost

Chorus:
Blue you sit so pretty
West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for

So much as come before those battles lost and
won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads
And let us check the surf
Staying high and dry’s
More trouble than it’s worth
In the sun

Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun

These Smiling eyes are just a mirror for

In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky dory’s got our snakefinger on
Now let us drink the stars
It’s time to steal away
Let’s go get lost
Right here in the U.S.A

Chorus

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for [/b]

Good Topic :content:, I have 2 songs that i like to share

Tool -Sweat

I’m sweating,
and breathing
and staring and thinking
and sinking
deeper.
It’s almost like I’m swimming.

The sun is burning hot again
on the hunter
and the fisherman,
and he’s trying to remember when,
but it makes him dizzy.

Seems like I’ve been here before.
Seems so familiar.
Seems like I’m slipping
into a dream within a dream.

Must be the way you whisper.

The sun is setting cool again.
I’m the thinker
and the fisherman
and I’m trying to remember when
but it makes me dizzy.
and I’m sweating,
and breathing,
and staring and thinking
and sinking
deeper
and it’s almost like I’m swimming.

Seems like I’ve been here before.
Seems so familiar.
Seems like I’m slipping
into a dream within a dream.
It’s the way you whisper.
It drags me under
and takes me home.

And the 2nd,
Stone Temple Pilots -Trippin’ On A Hole In A Paper Heart

Don’t cut out my paper heart, I ain’t dyin’ anyway
Take a look at eye full towers
Never trust them dirty liars
Sippin’ lemon yellow booze, ‘ole leadbelly sings the blues
All dressed up on wedding day keep on trippin’ anyway

I am I am I said I’m not myself, but I’m not dead and I’m not for sale
So keep your bankroll lottery eat your salad day deathbed motorcade

Fake the head and scratch the itch
Skinned up knees and salty lips
I’ll breathe your life vicks vapor life
and when you binge I purge alike
Let go it’s harder holding on
One more trip and I’ll be gone

So keep your head up
Keep it on, just a whisper I’ll be gone
Take a breath and make it big
It’s the last you’ll ever get
Break your neck with a diamond noose
It’s the last you’ll ever choose

I am I am I said I’m not myself, but I’m not dead and I’m not for sale
Hold me closer, closer let me go let me be just let me be

TWO SIDES by Clawfinger:

There’s nothing a god can give to me that I can’t give to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself
There’s not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time
It’s not that I don’t believe at all but I can’t need a heavenly sing
I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees
I can respect your religion but I don’t want to pay your fees
I don’t want to hear you talk about things you think that I need
So don’t help me back on my feet again until you can hear me pied
Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find
All the rules and regulations made to manipulate your mind
Don’t pretend that you’re blind, just open your mind and study historical times

The bigger the loss
the bigger the cost
the bigger the cross
and its crimes

I don’t believe in god that I need to worship
I don’t believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don’t believe that voice from above can help me
I only believe in that I can see and the things I can achieve

Whatever belief you belong to there’s still always a reason to doubt
And there’s always another opinion as to what life is all about
There’s always a bigger dimension and a different point of view
So I don’t want to try to change you that decision is up to you
Whatever your final choice is and however you chose to live
You better be happy for what you can get and happy with what you can give
There’s only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do
And that is to do unto others as you’d have others do unto you

Two sides two sides to every story
two stories more makes four new ones to chose
Four sides four sides to every story
four stories more makes eight new ones to chose
Eight sides eight sides to every story
eight stories more now which one should you chose
now which one can you use

The Beatles- Within you Without you

We were talking - about the space between us all
And the people - who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth - then it’s far too late - when they pass away
We were talking - about the love we could all share - when we find it
To try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love - we could save the world - if they only knew
Try to realize it’s all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you’re really only very small,
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking - about the love that’s gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul -
They don’t know - they can’t see - are you one of them?
When you’ve seen beyond yourself -
Then you may find peace of mind, is waiting there -
And the time will come when you see we’re all one,
And life flows on within you and without you.

Seven Nation Army
Im gonna fight em off
A seven nation army couldnt hold me back
Theyre gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And Im talking to myself at night
Because I cant forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone
Dont want to hear about it
Every single ones got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
Im gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear,
But thats what Ill do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home
Im going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
Im gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And Im bleeding, and Im bleeding, and Im bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think
No more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

Gollum’s Song / Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Soundtrack
Vocals – Emiliana Torrini

Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more

Don’t say goodbye
Don’t say I didn’t try…

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!

And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost,
We can never go home…

So in the end
I’ll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me

Now we say goodbye
We say you didn’t try…

These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame…

And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost
You can never go home…

Ahh, don’t you love a little bit of depressing music? I love this song :tongue:

THE NIGHT WILL ONLY KNOW Garth Brooks

That night will live forever
Their first time to lie together
They were finally where desire dared them to go
Both belonging to another
But longing to be lovers
Promising each other that the night will only know

Parked on some old backstreet
They laid down in the backseat
And fell into the fire down below
But they would pay for their deceiving
For a deadly web was weaving
Why they picked that spot that evening
Lord, the night will only know

Well within the innuendos
Just outside the steamy windows
The night was shattered by a woman’s scream
Motionless and frightened
The grip of fate had tightened
And with trembling hands they wiped away the steam

They saw a woman bleeding
Stumbling, begging, and retreating
'Til she became the victim of her foe
And they watched her fall in silence
To save their own alliance
But the reason for the violence
Just the night will only know

And every paper ran the story
She was stripped of all her glory
And they told exactly how the woman died
Abandoned and foresaken
too many pills were taken
And they ruled the woman’s death a suicide

Bound by their behaviour
they could have been her saviour
Now guilty 'comes the endless debt they owe
But another crime was committed
and it’s never been admitted
Have the guilty been aquitted
Lord the night will only know.

Beautiful, ppl keep them coming!

Love Lord of the ring ~(:heart:_​:heart:)~

Diamond Road
Sheryl Crow
“C’mon, C’mon”

Walk with me the diamond road
Tell me every story told
Give me something of your soul
That I can hold on to

I want to wake up to the sound of waves
Crashing on a brand new day
Keep the memories of your face
But wipe away the pain

Chorus
When you’re lonely (you’re not alone)
When you’re heart aches (on Diamond Road)
It’s gonna take a little time
Yeah, it’s gonna take a little time
When the night falls (you’re not alone)
When you’re stumbling (on Diamond Road)
It’s gonna take a little time
To make it to the other side

So don’t miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today

Little bird, what’s troubling you
You know what you have to do
What is yours you’ll never lose
And what’s ahead may shine
Beneath the promise of blue skies
With broken wings we’ll learn to fly
Pull yourself out of the tide
And begin the dream again

Chorus

So don’t miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today

Won’t you shine on
Morning light
Burn the darkness away

Walk with me the diamond road
Tell me everything is gold
Give me something of your soul
So you don’t fade away

Chorus

Don’t miss the diamonds along the way
Every road has led us here today
Life is what happens while you’re making plans
All that you need is right here in your hands

:grin: I just recently started listening to Sheryl Crow’s album (C’mon C’mon) and all the songs on it are pretty good! Hey… this is my two hundredth post :cool: Woohoo!

Monster Madness - Live For the Moment

There’s a little pile of ashes where my old life used to be
Credit cards and memories all dumped into the sea
Well this ain’t no time for bull—as I fly into the sun
Well you can’t trust anybody if you can’t trust number one

Well, the man tells me my future is not so far away
To get ready for tomorrow, I got to waste my whole today
My inner life knows better,yeah it’s what I want to hear
Just like a diamond bullet,where it’s crystal, crystal clear

Oh yeah!!!

Whooooooooo!!!

I can slam a tornado
I can dry up a sea, yeah
When I live for the moment,
There ain’t no one greater than me

You’ll never find your pleasure if you worry about your pain
And your precious little details are stretching out my brain
Well, you spin around and bite your nails, now let me tell you, son
That you can’t trust anybody if you can’t trust number 1

Well, the man tells me my future is not so far away
To get ready for tomorrow, I got to waste my whole today
Well my inner life knows better, well its what I want to hear
Just like a diamond bullet, well it’s crystal, crystal clear

Oh yeah!!!
I can slam a tornado
I can dry up a sea
When I live for the moment,
There ain’t no one greater than me
Now don’t you sell me no future, yeah
Don’t you sell me your love.
I ain’t punchin your number
You couldn’t pay me enough!!!

I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away
I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away
I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away
I ain’t buying no future when the past is so far away!!!

Yeah!

I can slam a tornado
I can dry up a sea
When I live for the moment,
There ain’t no (aint no) in me
Now don’t you sell me no future, yeah
Don’t you sell me your love.
I ain’t punchin your number
You couldn’t pay me enough

You couldn’t pay me enough
You couldn’t pay me enough
You couldn’t pay me enough
You couldn’t pay me enough…

( Repeat to end…)

I just discovered the hoodoo gurus! An aussie garage/punk/power rock band with great lyrics like:

The Real Deal

There’s only one thing that matters, there’s only one thing
There’s only one Fate that happens, there’s only one Fate
There’s only one prize worth taking, so open your eyes
There’s only one love worth making, there’s only one love
There’s only one love

Can you see me, can you hear me can you make me feel?
Can you reach inside and teach me?
Re-invent my wheel?
Are you the real deal?

There’s only one time worth wasting, this is your time
There’s only one fruit worth tasting , there’s only one fruit
There’s only one life, start living, there’s only one life
There’s only one gift, start giving, there’s only one gift
There’s only one gift

Do you mean it, do you mean it, do you understand?
Do I trust you, ‘cos I must to leave it in your hands
Are you the real deal?
Are you real?

I wanna know – are you the real deal
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the… real… deal…?

Can you see me, can you hear me can you make me feel?
Can you reach inside and teach me?
Re-invent my wheel?

There’s only one line worth taking, there’s only one line
There’s only one love worth making, there is only one love
There is only one love

I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the real deal?
I wanna know – are you the… real… deal…?
It’s so real

Where Nowhere Is

Do you know where nowhere is?
It’s where you are.
Do you know what nothing means?
Y-O-U.
Do you know what no-one thinks?
It’s all about you.
And do you know what?
Nobody cares!

Well, you can’t see the stars
In the daytime,
And you can’t see the sun
When it’s night,
And you can’t even see yourself In the mirror
And I can’t see you at all.
Not at all.

Do you know where (Nowhere!)
Nowhere is?

You had everything
That you ever wanted
Man, you had it made
Was what you had!
You forgot the only thing
You ever needed
And you can’t hide, You can’t hide,
You can’t hide that from me!
No, not from me.

Metallica-One

I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me
I’m waking up I can not see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me

Back in the womb it’s much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can’t look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I’ll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please god,wake me
Now the world is gone I’m just one
Oh god,help me hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell

One of the few songs that ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes… :crying:
