Song Quotes/Lyrics

Look at me now I've got no religion
Look at me now I'm so vacant
Look at me now I was a virgin
Look at me now grew up to be a whore
And I want it
I believe it

I'm a million different things
And not one you know

Hey, and our mommies are lost now
Hey, and daddy's someone else
Hey, and we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed...now
But I know
I wanna disappear

I wanna die young and sell my soul
Use up all your drugs and make me c**
Yesterday man, I was a nihilist and now today
I'm too f***ing bored

By the time I'm old enough
I won't know anything at all

Hey, and our mommies are lost now
Hey, and daddy's someone else
Hey, and we love the abuse
Because it makes us feel like we are needed...now
But I know
I wanna disappear

When I was alone, I did not notice
the piercing blue sky.
When I was alone, I did not hear
the sound of the wind that chilled my heart.

The person who taught me this is not just anyone;
he is always close by, encouraging me.

As I felt your heartbeat, my mind envisioned
exchanged smiles, outstretched hands, bewilderment -
the two of us, bound together.

When I was alone, I did not understand
the true meaning of loneliness.
When I was alone, I could not look for
a reason to wait for the break of dawn.

When I am drenched in the overflowing sunlight,
two hands draw me close and hold me as tightly as possible.

You and I, showing the wear of our burdens;
you and I, illuminating each other's paths,
shoulder to shoulder, together.

You and I are far, far apart, but
you and I can surely someday be reunited -
strongly drawn together.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone

Read between the lines of
What's F**cked up and everythings all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh
Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ah-Ah Ahhh

I walk this empty street
On the Blvd. of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a..

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone

Neenah Menasha
by Sponge

To begin but not complete
To sleep but not to wake
To always be lost and never find the way

No thoughts or memory
No hope or tragedy
A mirror waits for a reflection of a face
To hit the ground and know the sound trial by mistake
Death's a crown we wear around
Like a smile on a face

They will never hate or lie
They will never break or try
They will never break or cry
They will never wave goodbye

A silence that would not break the loss of a face
The face of a woman that arrived much to late
I break down and she sees the clowns I used to hide away
Death to clowns all their crowns and smiles on their face

They will never break or try
They will never hate or lie
They will never say or smile
They will never break or cry

Neenah Menasha will wait
Neenah Menasha, Neenah Menasha will wait

I break down and she sees the clowns I used to hide away
Death to clowns and all their crowns and the smiles on their face

They will never hate or lie
They will never break or try
They will never break or cry
They will never wave goodbye

Heh, a new "interest", so to speak. These are by Skindred, a group that's like a cross between reggae and korn-esque heavy metal. The lyrics aren't very....well, just keep with the perspective that this is mostly an intro song. Besides, this type of music is usually more about sound than lyrics .

Nobody

My sound we come to take over
Mc's you better look over your shoulder
Yeah you know we on and on, oh well now

Nuff of them have come and them all try dog we out,
Born down pill we are the roughneck scouts,
Music we make for make the crowd jump up,
Crowd get hyped explode and erupt,
Blend up the ragga metal punk hip-hop,
Unity sound killer groove non-stop
In, ah, for this place also the strong will survive
Strength and power are gon' keep them alive

My sound we come to take over,
Mc's you better look over your shoulder,
Yeah you know we on and on, oh well now.
Skindred we in, ah, your area,
Bring the rockers you know we superior,
Yeah you know we on and on...


Nobody gets out of this ya pit alive;
Nobody, nobody gets out alive,
Nobody gets out of this ya pit alive;
Nobody, nobody gets out alive,
Nobody gets out of this ya pit alive;
Come follow me one and two and sixty seven and forty three and,
Nobody gets out of this ya pit alive;
Nobody, nobody gets out alive,
Nobody gets out of this ya pit alive;
Nobody, nobody gets out alive!
Nobody gets out of this ya pit alive;
Nobody, nobody gets out alive!

Some of them have come and them have try flex with this,
Show them the ragga punk power, watch them head twist.
Sting like a scorpion buzz like an E,
Full force of fist it a'gon' drop plenty!
This is what we want and you have got to know,
If you think you're hard star, come and have a go.

Just saw a great Big O video with this song:

Paranoid: Garbage

You can look, but you can't touch
I don't think I like you much
Heaven knows what a girl can do
Heaven knows what you've got to prove

I think I'm paranoid
And complicated
I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you

Bend me
Break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

I fall down just to give you a thrill
Prop me up with another pill
If I should fail, if I should fold
I nailed my faith to the sticking pole

I think I'm paranoid
Manipulated
I think I'm paranoid
Too complicated

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you

Bend me
Break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

I think I'm paranoid
I think I'm paranoid

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
All I want is you

Bend me
Break me
Breaking down is easy
All I want is you

Steal me, deal me, anyway you heal me
Maim me, tame me, you can never change me
Love me, like me, come ahead and fight me
Please me, tease me, go ahead and leave me

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
As long as I want you baby it's alright

Bend me
Break me
Anyway you need me
As long as I want you baby it's alright

Sweet lover... yeah yeah yeah...
Doo-doo-doodoo doo doo doodoo do
La la la, forever...

Like a dream, soon things like I've only imagined before will come to me.
This love song marks the beginning because now you're the only one who can turn my feelings to love.

Everyday and everywhere a rainbow spreads across our hearts
All seven colors of that melody flow into the sky as far as we can see.
Everyday and every time, echoing in our hearts
Is a sweet harmony that will encompass our love as long as we are here.

La la lala... la la lala... la la la la...
Oooohh... yeah

La la lala...
Oooohh, yeah!

Everyday and everywhere, make sure of the love again
As we go, this feeling keeps on going, just like this song!
Everyday and every time, I'll always bring you
The rhythm that'll make you love me forever!

Later,

Genesis - Carpet Crawlers


There is lambswool under my naked feet
The wool is soft and warm
- Gives off some kind of heat
A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed
Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid
The fleas cling to the golden fleece
Hoping they'll find peace
Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid
There's no hiding in memory
There's no room to avoid

The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor
For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than before
They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door
Where the needle's eye is winking, closing on the poor
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out"

There's only one direction in the faces that I see
It's upward to the ceiling, where the chamber's said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight,
That takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they're free
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out"

Mild-mannered supermen are held in kryptonite
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright
Through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight
It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out"

The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers - they carry all they lack
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack
And the tickler takes his stickleback
The carpet crawlers heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out ... "

Dunno why, but these lyrics have been stuck in my head for weeks now:

I met you before the fall of Rome
And I begged you to let me take you home
You were wrong, I was right
You said goodbye, I said goodnight

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

I knew you before the west was won
And I heard you say
The past was much more fun
You go your way, I go mine
But I'll see you next time

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
"I love you, dear"
And if I play the same three chords,
Will you just yawn and say

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

Alone and bored on a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you on The Price Is Right?
Will I cry? Will I smile?
As you run down the aisle?

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done

It's all been done
It's all been done
It's all been done before

This has been one of my favorite songs for years.


(there’s life underground)

I feel it all around / I feel it in my bones
My life is on the line / when I’m away from home
When I step out the door / the jungle is alive
I do not trust my ears / I don’t believe my eyes
I will not fall in love / I cannot risk the bet
Cause hearts are fragile toys / so easy to forget

It’s just another day / there’s murder in the air
It drags me when I walk / I smell it everywhere
It’s just another day / where people cling to light
To drive away the fear / that comes with every night


It’s just another . . . . . . . it’s just another day
It’s just another . . . . . . . it’s just another day . . .

It’s just another day--when people wake from dreams
With voices in their ears--that will not go away

I had a dream last night / the world was set on fire
And everywhere I ran / there wasn’t any water
The temperature increased / the sky was crimson red
The clouds turned into smoke / and everyone was dead
(but) there’s a smile on my face . . . for everyone
There’s a golden coin . . . that reflects the sun
There’s a lonely place . . . that’s always cold
There’s a place in the stars . . . for when you get old

There’s razors in my bed / that come out late at night
They always disappear / before the morning light
I’m dreaming again / of life underground
It doesn’t ever move / it doesn’t make a sound
And just when I think--that things are in their place
The heavens are secure--the whole thing explodes in my face

It’s just another . . . . . . . it’s just another day
It’s just another . . . . . . . it’s just another day . .

This song..it....it fits the weather of today..yesterday..and what has kept me going...


Fastball - Dark Street

When will it stop raining?
When will these dark clouds go?
Somedays I get so low
but you turn me around
you turn me around

Won't you come down to my dark street
and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won't you come down to my dark street
and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine

You take away my sadness
and the pain inside my heart
Sometimes I fall apart
but you turn me around
you turn me around....

Won't you come down to my dark street
and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won't you come down to my dark street
and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine sunshine

Won't you come down to my dark street
and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
Won't you come down to my dark street
and shine a light
'cause I need your sweet sunshine
oh yeah
oh come on down, come on down
and never leave my sky again
shine your love light
love light
love light
love light
down on me
down on me

My orange vested angel makes me feel like this everyday...

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

[Edited: Do to the prior use of "Like a Prayer"]

One of my bosses refers to their songs as "whiney *female dog* music", but I love this song...

Here she is:

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've set you apart
Tell me your secrets
And ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles
Comin' up tails
It's only 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 so hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
The numbers and figures
Pulling the 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 what a rush to the start
Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Comin' back as we are

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 so hard
I'm goin' back to the start

Probably one of my favorite songs that doesn't make a lot of sense.

Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat.
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions.
Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat.
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions.

35 plus 4 divided by 2, the partygoers who don't burst open don't know,
This sociable sound demon screwing into an obtuse angle easily,
They dunno where from or where to, but anyway he divided the sound.
Everyone's winding chatter is a dangling handkerchief.

An alteration in the radar and in the nonsense coming over the airwaves,
If you start snorin', your heartbeat that's goin' up as much as your personality changes
Is really greedy, but there's power and land of the priest's staff
And since I was born, I've kept on playin' like this.

Nonsense language from a rotating head, high tension and a firm beat.
From a 5-match janken match I guide comes tactics for big opinions.

From 3rd street to 4th streeth, from main street to the carnal desires,
Pack up the duties left to you, take it all gently,
Really, you don't have to worry if you extend over to this slow train.
Don Pach Don Pach Don Today, on this Japanese island where they're sexin' it up.

That time, that time, I give respect, we'll break it all apart, yo, just like this example.

Where do we go nobody knows?
I’ve gotta say I’m on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face

Where do we go to draw the line?
I’ve gotta say I wasted all your time, honey honey
Where do I go to fall from grace?
God put a smile upon your face
Yeah
And ah
When you work it out I’m worse than you
Yeah
When you work it out I wanted to
And ah
When you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine

Where do we go nobody knows?
Don’t ever say you’re on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
God put a smile upon your face

And ah
When you work it out I’m worse than you
Yeah
When you work it out I wanted to
And ah
When you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
Its as good as mine
Its as good as mine
Its as good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine
As good as mine

Where do we go nobody knows?
Don’t even say you’re on your way down when
God gave you style and gave you grace
God put a smile upon your face

System of a Down-Toxicity
Conversion, software version 7.0,
Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub,
Eating seeds as a past time activity,
The toxicity of our city, of our city,

New, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder, disorder,
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep,
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,
Disorder, disorder, disorder.

More wood for their fires, loud neighbors,
Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck,
Eating seeds as a past time activity,
The toxicity of our city, of our city,

New, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder, disorder,
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep,
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,
Disorder, disorder, disorder.

New, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder, disorder,
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep,
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,
Disorder, disorder, disorder.

When I became the sun,
I shone life into the man's hearts,
When I became the sun,
I shone life into the man's hearts.

And her hallway
Moves
Like the ocean
Moves
And her hallway
Moves
Like the sea
Like the sea

She says no no no no harm will come your way
She says bring it on down, bring on the wave
She says: nobody done no harm
Grace of God and raise your arms
She says: place it and it's a place to stay

This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is
When the water come rushing, rushing in
She says

She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood

And her hallway
Like...
Like...

Like a million voices call my name
Like a million voices calling
Not now, not ever again...
Sitting here now in this bar for hours
Strange men rent strange flowers
Seconds to the drop but it feels like hours and I
Think I'm going to...going to...

This, this is the way it was
This, this is the way it is
When the water come rushing, rushing in
She says

She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood

And her hallway...
She says
She says anytime
Raise your arms
Flood

Matchbox 20
Unwell

All day staring at the ceiling

Making friends with shadows on my wall...

All night hearing voices telling me

That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see..

A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me

I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train

And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me

Yeah, they're taking me away

[Chorus]

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

I'm just a little unwell

Though she may not realize it, everything thing she does is magic to me...

Though I’ve tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I’ve done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It’s a big enough umbrella
But it’s always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she’ll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I heard this song last night for the first time. I like it.

If you have QuickTime you can see the video here


coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....

coin operated boy
all the other real ones that i destroy
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i'll
never let him go and i'll never be alone
not with my coin operated boy......

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
i didnt think so but im still convinceable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i'll never love you
will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?
i'm dying to lose it...
i want it
i want you
i want a coin operated boy.

and if i had a star to wish on
for my life i cant imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
i can even take him in the bath

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but i know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a
coin operated boy
with his pretty coin operated voice
saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why i want
a coin operated boy.
