“Brain Damage”

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon

“I can’t think of anything to say except…
I think it’s marvellous! HaHaHa!”

“Eclipse”

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All that you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All that you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Pink Floyd makes an entrance again…they are so inspiring.

Here’s another…

Yep Reality.Failure Bright Eyes is a real sad song but its beautiful :smile:
I love it :wink:

They’re Coming To Take Me Away
by Dr.Demento

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged
You not to leave
Because I’d go berserk?
Well!
You left me anyhow and then
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind.

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!

You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed, you laughed,
when I had said that losing you
would make me flip my lid.
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed
and laughed and then you left but
Now you know I’m utterly mad

And

They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha,
They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho,
hee hee, haa haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and begged
You not to leave
Because I’d go berserk?
Well!
You left me anyhow and then
The days got worse and worse
And now you see I’ve gone
Completely out of my mind.

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!

You thought it was a joke
and so you laughed, you laughed,
when I had said that losing you
would make me flip my lid.
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed
and laughed and then you left but
Now you know I’m utterly mad

And

They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha,
They’re coming to take me away, ho-ho,
hee hee, haa haa
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-hahaha…

I cooked your food, I cleaned your house,
And this is how you pay me back for
All my kind, unselfish, loving deeds,
Hah?
Well you just wait, they’ll find you yet
And when they do they’ll put you in the ASPCA you mangey mutt!

And

They’re coming to take me away, Ha-ha
They’re coming to take me away, Ho-ho
Hee-hee-haa-haa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I’ll be happy to see those
Nice young men in their clean white coats and
They’re coming to take me away, ha-ha!

With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket-weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they’re coming to take me away, ha-hahaha…

And I’ll be happy to see…

Here’s another funny one for you RF.

The Laughing Gnome
by David Bowie

I was walking
Down the high street
When I heard footsteps behind me
And there was a little old man (hello!)
Scarlet and Gray, chuckling away

Well he trotted
Back to my house
And he sat beside the telly (ahh)
With his tiny hands on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day

i’ll have to report you to the gnome office
(gnome office? ahahahah!)

Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Said the laughing gnome

Well I gave him roasted toadstools
And a glass of dandelion wine (burp pardon)
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
Carried his bags, and gave him a fag (have you got a light boy?)

hey where do you come from?
(gnome-ans land, hehe!)
oh really?

In the morning
When i woke up
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
With his brother who’s name was Fred
He brought him along
To sing me a song

alright let’s hear it
now, what’s that clicking noise?
(that’s Fred, he’s a metro-gnome, haha)

Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me

(oh now, i’m a gnome anyway haha)
haven’t you got a home to go to?
(no, we are gnome-ads hehe)
didn’t they teach you to get your hair cut at school you look like a rolling gnome
(nah, not at the London school of eco-gnome-ics)

Now they’re staying
Up me chimney
And we’re living on cavier and honey (hurray!)
Cos they’re earning me lots of money
Writing comedy pros
For radio shows

it’s the earth
it’s the gnome-service of course!

Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee (oh really)
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me
(one more time!)
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I’m a laughing gnome and you can’t catch me.

FOR DREAM ADDICT and ABRICKINTHEWALL…

:tongue:

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall (Part I, II, III) lyrics

Daddy’s gone across the ocean,
Leaving just a memory,
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, whatcha leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was just the bricks in the wall

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave those kids alone
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave those kids alone
Hey, Teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall

I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don’t think I need any thing at all
No. Don’t think I need anything at all
All in all it was all just the bricks in the wall
All in all it was all just the bricks in the wall

:hmmm:
The Movieby: Jim Morrison
The movie will begin in five moments

The mindless voice announced

All those unseated will await the next show.

We filed slowly, languidly into the hall

The auditorium was vast and silent

As we seated and were darkened, the voice continued.

The program for this evening is not new

You’ve seen this entertainment through and through

You’ve seen your birth your life and death

you might recall all of the rest

Did you have a good world when you died?

Enough to base a movie on?.

Ach ja, I love this song. :slight_smile: Finally found it again. It was originally in German by Nena as “Neunundneunzig luftballons”…Or did I misspell that last word? Sorry…

99 Red Balloons

You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we’ve got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, “Something’s out there”
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by.

99 red balloons floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it’s red alert
There’s something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street, 99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we’ve waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Knights of the air
ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone’s a Silverhero
Everyone’s a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by.

As 99 red balloons go by.

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It’s all over and I’m standin’ pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier
Just to prove the world was here…
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.

Ooh, and a reference to dreams, too. :content:

I remember that song Nazca, i think its spelled Luft im not sure my self, but i used love that song, i was head banging while reading the lyrics (i was feeling the old groove). Ofcourse that was just my 80’s phase seeping out. I like when you guys post classic rock Lyrics, its always fun to read lyrics to the same songs I listen to almost everyday.

Love Is The Drug by Music Roxy

T´ain´t no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T´ain´t no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where the beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me

Oohhhh Oooooohh
Oohhhh Oooooohh

Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug I´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me

Oohhhh Oooooohh
Oohhhh Oooooohh

Love is love is love is the drug

(Sad Song) :sad:
Coldplay- The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let’s go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming up tails
Heads on a silence apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start

(Depressed-Dude-Sings-Rock-Song) :cool:
Hmm… these lyrics I found are incomplete. Oh well. Great song.

Reel Big Fish- Brand New Hero

I’ve got big dreams, but no self esteem, you know.
I’d reach for the stars but I can’t find my arms.
All this time we’ve accomplished so much
Why can’t I believe why can’t I just feel love?
Ohh

Goin’ away leavin’ today you’ve gotta find a brand new hero
Goin’ away leavin’ today you’ve gotta find a brand new hero

I let you down when you’re not around you know.
I can’t be trusted with anything.
All this time we’ve wanted so much
To just belong why can’t we just feel love?
Ohh

Goin’ away leavin today you’ve gotta find a brand new hero
What will they say when I’ve gone away? Gotta find a brand new hero

(Suicide-Induction Sad Song) :cry:

Juliana Theory- Into the Dark

Dad, your boy is about to fall
He walks the razor’s edge
He’s on the brink of fading out
He’s at his bitter end
Dad, your boy who used to run, you taught him how to crawl
He left home to find his own, now all he had is gone

In your eyes I see a darkness that torments you and in your head where it dwells
I’d give you my hand if you’d reach out and grab it
Let’s walk away from this hell

Mom, your baby is on his way
He’ll soon be at your side
Cause he’s forgotten all he’s known
A part of him has died
Mom may never understand why baby’s come and gone
He left home to find his own, now all he has are lies.

In your eyes I see a darkness that torments you and in your head where it dwells
I’d give you my hand if you’d reach out and grab it
Let’s walk away from this hell

I also like Wind’s Nocturne, but that’s RF’s song. She gets to post it.

Metallica-Sanitarium

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred

Sleep my friend and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can’t they see it’s why my brain says rage

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Build my fear of what’s out there
And cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I’m insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He’s getting better, can’t you tell?

No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
But they think this saves us from our hell

Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone

Fear of living on
Natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
Got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it’s such a friendly word
Seems the only way
For reaching out again.

Cool dream Mr.Roboto…err, I mean cool song!! :content:

This is fun; here are two more happier ones.

Blanket On The Ground

Come and look out through the window
That big old moon is shinin’ -down.
Tell me now don’t it remind you
On a blanket on the ground.
Remember back when love first found us

We’d go slippin’ out of town.
And we’d love beneath the moonlight
On a blanket on the ground.

I’ll get the blanket from the bedroom
And we’ll go walking once again
To that spot down by the river
Where our sweet love first began
Just because we are married
Don’t mean can’t slip around
So let’s walk out through the moonlight
And lay the blanket on the ground.

Oh remember how excited
We used to get when love was young
That old moon was our best buddy

We could’nt wait for night to come
Now you know you still excited me

I know you love me like I am
Just once more I wish you’ll love me
On a blanket on the ground.
I’ll get the blanket from the bedroom
. . .

Concrete And Clay

You to me
Are sweet as roses in the morning
And you to me
Are soft as summer rain at dawn, in love we share
That something rare

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we’ll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That’s the way
Mmm, that’s the way it’s meant to be

All around
I see the purple shades of evening
And on the ground
The shadows fall and once again you’re in my arms
So tenderly

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we’ll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That’s the way
Mmm, that’s the way it’s meant to be

The sidewalks in the street
The concrete and the clay beneath my feet
Begins to crumble
But love will never die
Because we’ll see the mountains tumble
Before we say goodbye

My love and I will be
In love eternally
That’s the way
Mmm, that’s the way it’s meant to be

And that’s the way
That’s the way it’s meant to be

That’s the way
(that’s the way it’s meant to be)
Whoa, that’s the way
That’s the way it’s meant to be [fade]

Intolerance

I don’t want to be hostile.
I don’t want to be dismal.
But I don’t want to rot in an apathetic existance either.
See
I want to believe you,
and I want to trust
and I want to have faith to put away the dagger.

But you lie, cheat, and steal.
And yet
I tolerate you.
Veil of virtue hung to hide your method
while I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your praise and glory.
Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma
as I smile and laugh and dance
and sing your glory
while you
lie, cheat, and steal.
How can I tolerate you.

Our guilt,our blame ,
I’ve been far too sympathetic.
Our blood, our fault.
I’ve been far too sympathetic.

I am not innocent.
You are not innocent.
Noone is innocent.

I will no longer tolerate you
Even if I must go down beside you.
Because,
Noone is innocent.

I’ll Be Missing You
[Intro: Puff Daddy]
:angel:

Yeah… this right here (tell me why)
Goes out, to everyone, that has lost someone
That they truly loved (c’mon, check it out)

[Verse One: Puff Daddy]

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the show
I laced the track, you locked the flow
So far from hangin on the block for dough
Notorious, they got to know that
Life ain’t always what it seem to be (uh-uh)
Words can’t express what you mean to me
Even though you’re gone, we still a team
Through your family, I’ll fulfill your dream (that’s right)
In the future, can’t wait to see
If you’ll open up the gates for me
Reminisce some time, the night they took my friend (uh-huh)
Try to black it out, but it plays again
When it’s real, feelings hard to conceal
Can’t imagine all the pain I feel
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living your life, after death

[Chorus: Faith Evans]

Every step I take, every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray
I’ll be missing you
Thinkin of the day, when you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break
I’ll be missing you

[Puff] I miss you Big

[Verse Two: Puff Daddy]

It’s kinda hard with you not around (yeah)
Know you in heaven smilin down (eheh)
Watchin us while we pray for you
Every day we pray for you
Til the day we meet again
In my heart is where I’ll keep you friend
Memories give me the strength I need (uh-huh) to proceed
Strength I need to believe
My thoughts Big I just can’t define (can’t define)
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
Us in the six, shop for new clothes and kicks
You and me taking flicks
Makin hits, stages they receive you on
Still can’t believe you’re gone (can’t believe you’re gone)
Give anything to hear half your breath (half your breath)
I know you still living you’re life, after death

[Chorus]

[Faith Evans] Somebody tell me why

[Interlude: Faith Evans]

One glad morning
When this life is over
I know
I’ll see your face

[Outro: 112]

Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
Every night I pray, every step I take
[Puff] Every day that passes
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] Is a day that I get closer
[Puff] To seeing you again
Every night I pray, every step I take
[Puff] We miss you Big… and we won’t stop
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] Cause we can’t stop… that’s right
Every night I pray, every step I take
Every move I make, every single day
[Puff] We miss you Big

[Chorus 2X with variations]
[Chorus 1X with interlude 2X over :angel:

I prefer this version to the original Police lyrics

Here goes…

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.
:smile:

Who sings that? I sing that at work almost all the time :confused:

Sorry to tread on people’s feet here, has anyone actually gone through and read those four pages of lyrics? I think the gist of it was just to get across taste in music, wouldn’t it have been easier to say groups/artists/tracks as opposed to posting enitre track lyrics…?
just a thought
