Song Quotes/Lyrics

What do you mean, "I don't believe in God"?
I talk to him everyday.
What do you mean, "I don't support your system"?
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"?
I got nothing better to do.
And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"?
Why do you think I'm broke? Huh?

If there's a new way,
I'll be the first in line.
But it better work this time.

What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"?
I didn't know you had any feelings.
What do you mean, "I ain't kind"?
Just not your kind.
What do you mean, "I couldn't be the President
Of the United States of America"?
Tell me something, it's still "We the people," right?

If there's a new way
I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

Can you put a price on peace?

Peace,
Peace sells...
Peace
Peace sells...
Pace sells... but who's buying?
Pace sells... but who's buying?
Pace sells... but who's buying?
Pace sells... but who's buying?
No, peace sells...

Try Honesty by Billy Talent


I tripped
Fell down again
I scratched my knees
They bled
Sew up my eyes
Knead no more
In our game there is no score

Forgive me father
Why should ya bother?
Try honesty
Try honesty...
Hop in your dumb truck
Leave us for good luck
Ride over me
Ride over me...

Insane assult
So sly
Your well of lies ran dry
I pulled the cord
Free fall
So high I seem so small

Forgive me father
Why should ya bother?
Try honesty
Try honesty...
Hop in your dumb truck
Leave us for good luck
Ride over me
Ride over me...
I took on the whole world
The boys and young girls
Die tragedy
Die Tragedy...
Call me a cheap-skate
C'mon for pete sake
Cry agony
Cry agony..

Insane assult (sly)
Insane assult (sly)

Forgive me father
Why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father
Why should ya bother now?

Forgive me father
Why should ya bother?
Try honesty
Try honesty
Hop in your dumb truck
Leave us for good luck
Ride over me
Ride over me
I took on the whole world
The boys and young girls
Die tragedy
Die Tragedy
Call me a cheap-skate
C'mon for pete sake
Cry agony
Cry agony...

Cry agony
Cry agony...

Cry agony
Cry agony...

Cry agony
Cry agony...

This has always been one of my favorite songs.

Blackball
by The Offspring

In this world of hate and shallowness
Where enemies become your consolation
And those of us who win the game give up their minds
I don't call that winning

Say this doesn't apply to you
But ask yourself first
What have I won today to win the game
And just what have I sacrified

Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

Reflect on all out yesterdays
My own words choke me, why were they spoken
Regret for things I've said and done just can't compare with
Regret for that I have never tried

So blame this world or blame yourself
It's really all the same
When you are standing on that precipice
From which you just cannot return

Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

In the style of forgotten men
I look to my horizon - I see nothing
While thoughts of guns and desecration sweep through my mind
But only coffins and bones remain

As I look to you, the emptiness behind your eyes seals my decision
Can't carry on in a world of jugglers where all this thoughtlessness
And bludgeoning your key to success
What kind of tradition to carry on

Blackball - The new disease
Blackball - The new disease
Blackball - Your evil ways have found their way inside me
Blackball - The new disease
Blackball - The new disease
Blackball - For a better life in this high tech dog eat dog existence

What am I supposed to do
I don't want to be your referee
But anytime tonight I'm gonna
Blow my whistle soon
Hold my breath turn blue
Till it's time to be your referee
Later on tonight I'll let you
Blow my whistle too

Cast your vote on me
Save that seat for me
Just place your bets on me
Stop gettin' high of of jealousy
Whether you are ready or not
I'm coming with all that I've got
Then while you decide
We are undefined

My instinct says I ought to keep you free
And my mother says men dislike stability
My instinct says I ought to keep you free
But I don't dislike exclusivity

What am I supposed to do
I don't want to be your referee
But anytime tonight I'm gonna
Blow my whistle soon
Hold my breath turn blue
Till it's time to be your referee
Later on tonight I'll let you
Blow my whistle too

Scared to show or tell
Keep what you just felt
A secret to yourself
I'm gettin' tired of mysteries
Even though I say they do not
The games you play hurt me a lot
When there's none to play
Will you go or stay

My instinct says I ought to disagree
When my mother says men will leave eventually
Nothin lasts forever I agree
But I wouldn't mind the possibility

**What am I supposed to do
I don't want to be your referee
But anytime tonight I'm gonna
Blow my whistle soon
Hold my breath turn blue
Till it's time to be your referee
Later on tonight I'll let you
Blow my whistle too

Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight

Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.

I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Though I've tried, I've fallen...
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so...

Dance on a Volcano, Genesis...


Holy mother of God
You've got
To go faster than that to get to the top!
Dirty old mountain, all covered in smoke
She can turn you to stone, so you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right!

You're halfway up and you're halfway down
And the pack on your back is turning you around
Throw it away, you won't need it up there
And remember, you don't look back whatever you do
Better start doing it right

On your left and on your right
Crosses are green and crosses are blue
Your friends didn't make it through...
Out of the night and out of the dark
Into the fire and into the fight
Well, that's the way the heroes go
HO! HO! HO!

Through a crack in Mother Earth
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land
And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away*
HEY! HEY! HEY!
If you don't want to boil as well
B-B-Better start the dance
D-D-Do you want to dance with me

You better start doing it right

The music's playing, the notes are right
Put your left foot first and move into the light
The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right
You better start doing it right

LET THE DANCE BEGIN!



*Quite possibly the best line in any song ever! Ok, maybe not, but it's fun to sing at the top of your lungs!

Since I'm 1/3 Liberian and a girl, I like to think it's directed towards me (swoons as music plays)

Liberian Girl -Michael Jackson
Album: Bad
Date: 80's

(Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-I want you too-my love)
Liberian girl...
You came and you changed my world
A love so brand new
Liberian girl...
You came and you changed my world
A feeling so true
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world
Just like in the movies
With two lovers in a scene
And she says...
"Do you love me"
And he says so endlessly...
"I love you, Liberian girl"
(Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-I want you too-my love)
Liberian girl...
More precious than any pearl
Your love so complete
Liberian girl...
You kiss me then,
Ooh, the world
You do this to me
Liberian girl...
You know that you came
And you changed my world
Just like in the movies
With two lovers in a scene
And she says
"Do you love me"
And he says so endlessly
"I love you, Liberian girl"
(Naku penda piya-naku taka piya-mpenziwe)
(I love you too-I want you too-my love)
Liberian girl
You know that you came
And you changed my world
I wait for the day
When you have to say
"I do"
And I'll smile and say it too,
And forever, we'll be true
I love you, Liberian girl, all the time
(Girl)
I love you liberian girl, all the time
(Girl)
I love you liberian girl, all the time
(Girl)
I love you liberian girl, all the time
(Girl)
I love you
I love you baby
(Girl)
I want you
I love you baby
(Girl)
Ooh! I love you baby, I want you baby, ooh!
(Girl)
(Fades)

It goes on...over and over again.


I know you think that I shouldn't still love you,
Or tell you that.
But if I didn't say it, well I'd still have felt it
where's the sense in that?

I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I know I left too much mess and
destruction to come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
then I'm sure that that makes sense

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

And when we meet
Which I'm sure we will
All that was there
Will be there still
I'll let it pass
And hold my tongue
And you will think
That I've moved on....

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

Although I must be innocent,
now I am punished.
I wasn't the one who sewed those seeds, but nevertheless
I have to pull up the flowers that bloomed from them.

I can't say I didn't know about it,
but I don't remember taking any part in it.
I think my freedom cost me dearly,
but I don't remember selling my soul so cheaply.

Hey Hey Until I die and say farewell . . .
Hey Hey . . . no one can touch me.
You probably don't know
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night.

[Guitar solo]

The act wasn't inexcusable
but the wounds from it aren't curable.
On nights when I almost want to cry, I hold a woman
and fly high away from this petty, corrupt world,

Hey Hey Until I die and say farewell . . .
Hey Hey . . . no one can touch me.
You probably don't know
the eternal outlaws prowling in the distant night.

Although I must be innocent,
now I am punished.
I think my freedom cost me dearly,
but I don't have the guts to sell my soul so cheaply . . . . .

Trisa

This is the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die
The things I've seen I can't describe
This is the soundtrack of my life

Watching the movie of your life
You see things in a different light
You see mistakes and tragedies
You have avoided so easily
You see the times when there were lies
Now it's yourself that you despise
And as you see the movie play
And as you hear the words you say

It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die

Trying to be true true to yourself
Surviving your own mental health
But pharmaceuticals today
Are not what you thought they'd be
Seeking your own oblivion
But you are not the only one
Join the queue and stand a line
If there's no victim there's no crime

It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die
It's the soundtrack of my life
The sound by which I live and die

This is my life...

This is the soundtrack to my life
The sound by which I live and die
The things I've seen I can't describe
This is the soundtrack of my life

This is my life...

When the Angels Fall - Sting

So high above the world tonight
The angels watch us sleeping
And underneath a bridge of stars
We dream in safety's keeping

But perhaps the dream
Is dreaming of us
Soaring with the seagulls
Astride the backs of eagles

When the angels fall
Shadows on the wall
In the thunder's call
Something haunts us all
When the angels fall
When the angels fall

Take your father's cross
Gently from the wall
A shadow still remaining

See the churches fall
In mighty arcs of sound
And all that they're containing

Yet all the ragged souls
Of all the ragged men
Looking for their lost homes

Shuffle to the ruins
From the levelled plain
To search among the tombstones

When the angels fall
Shadows on the wall
In the thunder's call
Something haunts us all

When the angels fall
When the angels fall
When the angels fall

These are my feet
These are my hands
These are my children
This is my demand

Bring down the angels
Cast them from my sight
I never want to see
A million suns at midnight

Your hands are empty
The streets are empty
You can't control us
You can't control us anymore

When the angels fall
When the angels fall
When the angels fall
When the angels fall
When the angels fall
When the angels fall

I've seen that life
Touches us with pain
And we change
Becoming strangers to our friends
Tell
me what happens along the way

I thought of us
Hard to talk these days
Did we change
Or were
we strangers all along
Tell me what caused us to turn away


There's a wall of silence
Miles
across
A wall between us
Holding back
Holding back our loss

I moved ahead
Thinking you'd
be there
But it changed
And now we're strangers to our past
How did I lose you along the way

There's a wall of silence
Miles
across
A wall between us
Holding back
Holding back our loss

I've
seen that life
Touches us with pain
And we change
Becoming strangers to ourselves
Tell
me what happens along the way
How did I lose you along the way

What could you possibly see in me
is my soul hung out to dry
I think my dysfunctional family
has shaped it throughout my life

what could you possibly like in me
do you like my ability to bend
I think my fear of intimacy
has shaped the time we spend

its not you
its me
its not us
its them
and its not her
its just the way she moves you
and she kisses harder than me
well she kisses harder than me

And I've always looked in through your glasses
but all i could see
is the spector of me reflected
the empty shell of me(x2)

what could you possibly love in me
is it the way i wear my smile
it hangs from the tip of my tonge you see
oh this might take a while

and its not you its me
and its not us, its them
and its not her its just the way she moves you
and she kisses harder than me
well she kisses harder than me

Repeat 3x
And ive always looked in through your glasses
but all i could see
is the spector of me reflected
the empty shell of me(x2)

This is for you, Beth.

Such a feelin’s comin’ over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It’s because you are here
You’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen

(*) I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around
Your love’s put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it’s tellin’ me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There’s a pleasin’ sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here


Repeat (*) twice

Supper's Ready
by Genesis

LOVER'S LEAP

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?

THE GUARANTEED ETERNAL SANCTUARY MAN

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.

IKHNATON AND ITSACON AND THEIR BAND OF MERRY MEN

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.

HOW DARE I BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

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?

WILLOW FARM

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.

APOCALYPSE IN 9/8 (Co-Starring the delicious talents of Gabble Ratchet)

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.

AS SURE AS EGGS IS EGGS (Aching Men's Feet)

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.


Yes, it is all one song...23:24...I love Genesis...

Sometimes you just need a good angry song....


All my life I've been searching for somethin'
Somethin' never comes, never leads to nuthin'
Nothin' satisfies, but I'm gettin' close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, and it's takin'away
Leaves me with the feelin' that I fear the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Calm down, don't you resist
Your such a delicate rist
And if i give it a twist
Somethin' to hold when I lose my grip

Will i find something in there,
to give it just what it needs
another reason to bleed
One by one, Hidden up my sleeve

One by one, Hidden up my sleeve

[3x]
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but, i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

Will I find the believer
Another one who believes
Another one to decieve
Over and over, down on my knees

If I get any closer, I
And if you open up wide
And if you let me inside
On and on, I've got nuthin' to hide

On and on I've got nuthin' to hide

[3x]
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but, i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

All my life I've been searching for somethin'
Somethin' never comes, never leads to nuthin'
Nothin' satisfies, but I'm gettin' close
Closer to the prize at the end of the rope

All night long I dream of the day
When it comes around, and it's takin'away
Leaves me with the feelin' that I feel the most
Feel it come to life when I see your ghost

Done, done; on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
Done, done, and I'm on to the next one

Done, done, and I'm on to the next one
[2x]
Done, done, and I'm on the next one
Done, i'm done, and I'm on to the next

[3x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I'm done; i'm on to the next one

[3x]
Hey, don't let it go to waste
I love it but , i hate that taste
Weight keeping me down

[2x]
Done, done; on the next one

Done, I'm done; i'm on to the next

"Softer" - Jimmy Eat World


She's perfect in her own way
Smoke rings rising to the winter grey
She's perfect in her own way
Shining, stepping off a silver tray

Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down

She's amazing in her own way
Always moving to a better place
She's amazing in her own way
Laughing, you won't get to her weaker traits

Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know time heals by itself
I see that ever so clearly now

She looks a little bit different now
Maybe a little bit softer 'round her eyes...
Just a little bit different now
Mayee a little bit softer 'round her eyes...

The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy likes it nice and steady...
The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy likes it nice and steady...

Now I'm getting a sick taste in my mouth
From the medicine that I can't keep down
You know time heals by itself
I see that ever so clearly now

The lights had just gone out at Rockefeller Center
Take it slow and make it softer
Easy likes it nice and steady

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I’m here to stay
Love can be so boring

Nothing’s quite the same now
I just say your name now

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
You don’t want me back
You’re just the best I ever had

So you stole my world
Now I’m just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
You don’t need me back
You’re just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can’t take it so i
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You’re always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I’m here to stay
Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted
Could it be I’m haunted

But it’s not so bad
You’re only the best I ever had
I don’t want you back
You’re just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever
