Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed,
And it's no big surprise
Don't you think I know
Exactly where I stand?!
This world is forcing me
To hold your hand!!

'Cause I'm just a girl, little ol' me
Well Don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don't let me have any rights!!
Oh... I've had it up to here!

The moment that I step outside...
So many reasons
For me to run and hide!
I can't do the little things
I hold so dear!
'Cause it's all those little things
That I fear!!!!!!!!!

'Cause I'm just a girl,
I'd rather not be!
'Cause they won't let me drive
Late at night!
I'm just a girl,
Guess I'm some kind of freak!!!!
'Cause they all sit and stare
With their eyes
Oh I'm just a girl,
Take a good look at me
Just your typical prototype!!
Oh... I've had it up to here!!!!

Oh... am I making myself clear??!??!?!?!?!!?!?

I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
That's all that you'll let me be!!!!!!!!

I'm just a girl, living in captivity
Your rule of thumb
Makes me worry some!!!!
Oh I'm just a girl, what's my destiny?
What I've succumbed to
Is making me numb!!
Oh I'm just a girl, my apologies
What I've become is so burdensome!!
I'm just a girl, lucky me!!!
Twiddle-dum there's no comparison!!!!!!

Oh... I've had it up to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh... I've had it up to!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh... I've had it up to here...........

I still don't know what I was waiting for
And my time was running wild
A million dead-end streets
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
Of how the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence and
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't tell t hem to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Where's your shame
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Pretty soon you're gonna get a little older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

THE USED- BOX OF SHARP OBJECTS
It's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
We've fallen in love
We've fallen in love
It was the best idea I ever had

Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful....
Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful THING!!!

Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and SHARPER!!!
Found a box of sharp objects
What a beautiful THING!!!

Do you want a song of glory?
WELL I'M f***ING SCREAMING AT YOU!!!

It's our time to shine through the down
glorified by what is ours
We've fallen in love
We've fallen in love
It was the best idea I ever had!!!

Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters

Drive
By Incubus

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.

Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there..I'll be there.

So, if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
Aah-ah-oo-o-o.

It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found.

Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeahhh
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there...I'll be there.

Would you choose water over wine....hold the wheel and drive?

Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there..I'll be there.
Do do do do do do do do

"Song To The Siren" - This Mortal Coil

Long afloat on shipless oceans,
I did all my best to smile—
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle;


And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me,
Let me enfold you—
Here I am, here I am,
Waiting to hold you"


Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning,
Broken lovelorn on your rocks;


For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not,
come back tomorrow;
O my heart, O my heart
Shies from the sorrow"


I am puzzled as the newborn child,
I am troubled at the tide;
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with death my bride?


Hear me sing, "Swim to me, swim to me,
Let me enfold you,
Here I am, here I am,
Waiting to hold you"

GOD ONLY KNOWS WHY I AM SINGING THIS?!?!!?!?

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're go through all the pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
Oh so hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care, oh care

Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows

Music by Henry Mancini, Lyrics by Johnny Mercer..song by... loads of people.

Moon river, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after the same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

(moon river, wider than a mile)
(I’m crossin’ you in style some day)
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you’re goin’, I’m goin’ your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There’s such a lot of world to see
We’re after that same rainbow’s end, waitin’ ’round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

(moon river, moon river)

I love this song, I can't get it out of my head:

Give me tears
Give me love
Let me rest
Lord above
Send the bored
Your restless
The feedback scarred
Devotionless
You're all a part of me now
And if I fall
You're all a part of me now
In the sun
You're all a part of me now
You're all a part of me now
Will our love ever be enough
Just in time to prove
Will our words ever be enough
Just in time to lose
Give me sight
And barren breast
Pure snow and happiness
Give me time
Give me peace
And I will prove
My release
You're all a part of me now
And if I fall
You're all a part of me now
Trapped in the sun
You're all a part of me now
You're all a part of me now
Will our love ever be enough
Just in time to prove
Will our time ever be enough
Will out love ever be enough
You're all a part of me now
And if I fall
You're all a part of me now
In the sun
You're all a part of me now
You're all a part of me now
You're all a part of me now
And if I fall
You're all a part of me now
Trapped in the sun
You're all a part of me now
Will our love ever be enough
Just in time to prove

Words & music by Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rogers... song by.... everybody



When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never, ever walk alone.

You can't see the deamons.
But you know the deamons have been calling for you.

I'm still on a Foo Fighters kick. Didn't really know the lyrics until now.


Call and I'll answer at home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down
Nevermind the mannequins, drunk in their hollow town,
Drinking their spoils down, cheap imitations
The revelation is now.
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Counting every minute till the feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hit's the ground, I'm good at escaping
But better at flaking out
Calling unanswered the center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It's fear I'm embracing
I never could face you down
Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued
You wont find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
So you don't find me I'm going mia
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Say good-bye to me I'm going MIA
I can find relief I'm going MIA
Getting lost in you again is better than being numb
Better than playing dumb

It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down.
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head.
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on
(Standing on the edge of the road)
Ride on
(Thumb in the air)
Ride on
One of these days
Ride on
I'm gonna change my evil ways
Ride on
Till then I'll just keep dragging on.
Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start.
And its another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat.
What am I gonna do -
I'm gonna ride on
Madrona 11-23-2004 05:15 PM
Breathe it in and breathe it out
And pass it on, it's almost out
We're so creative, so much more
We're high above, but on the floor

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side

The deeper you stick it in your vein
The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain
I'm in heaven, I'm a god
I'm everywhere, I feel so hot

It's not a habit it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

It's over now, I'm cold, alone
I'm just a person on my own
Nothing means a thing to me
nothing means a thing to me

It's not a habit it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

Free me, leave me
Watch me as I'm going down
Free me, see me
Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling...

It's not a habit it's cool, I feel alive...

It's not a habit it's cool, I feel alive
If you don't have it you're on the other side
I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)
I'm not an addict...

in storybooks children grow up to become leaders
innocence leads our young to fall victim to
(we're not your slaves) the disadvantages our parents brought before them
grow up fast and lose sight of becoming an influence
(and i'll never sleep, i'll never sleep again)
they stole our innocence, you broke our foundation
broken by production, released at ten
before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight
after birth the hand that feeds may bleed
transformers for abuse
(we're not your slaves)
legos build the outcome whether its mental or physical,
before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight
(and i'll never sleep, i'll never sleep again)
mother i'll bleed for you, as father bled for me...

(1 2 3 4)
before you kill your idols, kiss them goodnight

Save some face—
You know you've only got one;
Change your ways
While you're young;

Boy, one day you'll be a man;
Oh, girl, he'll help you understand;

Smile like you mean it;
Smile like you mean it;


Looking back
At sunsets on the Eastside,
We lost track
Of the time;

Dreams aren't what they used to be—
Some things sat by so carelessly;

Smile like you mean it;
Smile like you mean it;


And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant;
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in;


And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did—
On the same streets that I did;


Smile like you mean it;
Smile like you mean it;
Smile like you mean it;
Smile like you mean it;

The best rock band of today has a Christmas song! It's called "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)", and it HAS to be one of the best Christmas songs ever along with Run DMC's "Christmas In Hollis". blink 182's "I Won't Be Home For Christmas" and many others. The Darkness have once again proved they are the best band of today, and they also get my vote as band of the year. Here are the lyrics to "Christmas Time":


Faking joyous surprise at the gifts we despise,
Drinking mulled wine with you.
On the twenty fifth day, of the twelfth month the slay bells return,
Ringing true

…snowflakes melt in hell
That it would end
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let me leave please

Well, the weather is cruel
And the season of love warms the heart
But it still hurts
You’ve got your career spend the best part of life’s joy apart
And it still hurts

So that’s why I prey, each and every Christmas day
That it would end
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let me leave please

Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end

Pause underneath the mistletoe leaf and you're not here
You went away upon Boxing Day
Oh, How am I ever gonna make it into New Year?

Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time (Christmas time!)
Don't let the bells end (Don't let the bells end!)
Christmas time
Don't let the bells end
Christmas time
Just let me leave please
Christmas time (Come on kids!)
Don't let the bells end (bells ring!)
Christmas time (ahhhh!)
Don't let the bells end


Way to go, Justin. You so do rock, along with the other guys in the band. Spread your Christmas cheer with The Darkness!

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
I was lost, oh yeah
I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn’t have crossed
I was lost, oh yeah
And yeah
How long must you wait for it?
Yeah
How long must you pay for it?
Yeah
How long must you wait for it?
For it

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and underprepared
But I wait for it
And if you go, if you go
And leave me down here on my own
Then I’ll wait for you
Yeah

And yeah
How long must you wait for it?
Yeah
How long must you pay for it?
Yeah
How long must you wait for it?

Singing please, please, please
Come back and sing to me
To me, me

Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
And I was lost, oh yeah, oh yeah

NightRanger, calm down! The fact of the matter is, when two threads are merged (by an administrator, no less), chances are they really shouldn't be two separate threads. To provide an example, the lyrics you posted up (which seemed to trigger this unnecessary outburst)...the way you worded your post seemed to put more emphasis on the actual song, rather than the band itself.

If you do feel such posts should be separate threads, the best course of action would be to contact a moderator (in this case, 'strider, pen, or GK) or administrator (Krang or Shredder) privately (such as, via Private Message), rather than spamming the forums with needless flames and complaints. Doing what you did generally makes us moderators less inclined to acknowledge (let alone consider) your request.

We're really not "out to get you," but if you continue to behave in such an immature manner, you probably won't garner any sympathy from the powers-at-be. We really don't like punishing people (or singling people out for punishment), so you can generally help your cause by not giving us reason to.

---
That said, time to get back on topic with some lyrics. I offer some more from Wicked:

ELPHABA
Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreams
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me

Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make ev'ry last moment last
As long as you're mine:

FIYERO
What am I doing?
What's this I feel?
The boy who was certain
Love isn't real
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's "up" that I fell:

BOTH
Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time

FIYERO
Say there's no future
For us as a pair

BOTH
And though I may know
I don't care!
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine

FIYERO
What is it?

ELPHABA
It's just...for the first time, I feel...wicked!
