Song Quotes/Lyrics

(Note: The Ramones may be the fathers of Punk Rock, but the Dead Kennedys are without a doubt the innovators of it. - Scott)


So you've been to school
for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all.
In Daddy's car
thinking you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl.

Playing ethnicky jazz
to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo.
Braggin' that you know
how the n****** feel cold
And the slum's got so much soul.

It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here.
Brace yourself, my dear...
Brace yourself, my dear...

For a Holiday in Cambodia
It's tough, kid, but it's life.
It's a Holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife.

You're a star-belly sneech
You suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you.
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
While your boss gets richer off you.

Well, you'll work harder
with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day.
Slave for soldiers
'Til you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake.

Now you can go, where the people are one.
Now you can go where they get things done.
What you need, my son...
What you need, my son...

Is a Holiday in Cambodia
Where people are dressed in black.
A Holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack

(instrumental break)

(chanting)
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, etc.,...

It's a Holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told.
It's a Holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul
Pol Pot.

Can you tell me where you are?
Can you tell me where you are?
I'm searching you, but I can't find you..... nowhere.
When I look up to the sky,
When I look up to the sky....
To the sky....
To the sky....

Prince of Love.....
Prince Love....

Can you tell me where you are?
Can you tell me where you are?
I'm searching you, but I can't find you..... nowhere.
When I look up to the sky,
When I look up to the sky....

The moon is telling me,
One day you will be mine.
So just send me, a heavenly sign of love...
a heavenly sign of love...
No don't worry, I'll receive it from above.
I'll receive it from above
You just send me, you're heavenly sign of love.
you're heavenly sign of love.
I wait all over, until you be my Prince of Love

Prince of Love,
Prince of Love,
Prince of Love,
Prince of Love,
Prince of Love,
Princeeee of.....
Prince of Love,
Prince of Love,
Prince of Love,
Prince of Love,

Can you tell me where you are........?

there's this one part of a song on phil collin's testify, number 4 i think, where he sings it's one man's god against another and for some reason i think of duo inferno or fau against big o about ready to punch eachother. it's just that symbolic!

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know.....

"Kiss Me Fool"by Fefe Dobson

Tell me who should I be to make you love me?
Tell me what does it mean to be alone?
Can't you see me standing staring out from the distance,
Hear my cry if you'd only listen...
Out of focus, into me and you

Kiss me fool, if you care
If your words have any meaning.
Playing it cool is so unfair
Why this veil of secrecy?
God forbid, your friends found out what we did
Why can't someone like you be someone like me?

Tell me who should I be to make you love me?
Tell me what does it mean to be alone?
Can't you see me standing staring out from the distance,
Hear my cry if you'd only listen...
Out of focus, into me and you

Touch me fool, if your allowed.
I'll be dancing in the corner
It's so cruel to play it proud, take your hands and cover me.
I'm aware that all in love is fair, but that's no reason to make me feel this way.

Tell me who should I be to make you love me?
Tell me what does it mean to be alone?
Can't you see me standing staring out from the distance,
Hear my cry if you'd only listen...
Out of focus, into me and you

And it hurts me so bad to deny it, oooh
These feelings are out of control.
Do you know what it's like to want something so bad...
And then having to let it go?
And it hurts me to know that this time in our lives...
So soon will be in the past
And you spend it pretending your playing it cool.
Never knowing,
Never knowing,
Never knowing what,
Never knowing what we should've been.

Tell me who should I be to make you love me?
Tell me what does it mean to be alone?
You've got me wondering if I'm good enough.
Pretty enough, giving enough, special enough

Tell me who should I be to make you love me?
Who should I be? Who should I be? Ooooh...
To make you love me?
Who should I be? Who should I be? Ooooh...
To make you love me?
Who should I be? Who should I be? Ooooh...
To make you love me.........?

This is from Maureen McGovern, who is best known for the theme song to the Poseidon Adventure, "The Morning After" (sadly, because she's a great singer)

Why can't I forget?

I have the world's worst memory
Many times a day, I say,
Where did I leave my key?
Where have I put my purse?
Where else should I be?
It's perverse
A life of hide-and-seek
I never know the date and worse,
The day of the week

So, why can't I forget
The day I met him?
He held the door and let me go ahead
Rushing to our separate lives
We took a walk instead
Why can't I forget him
And every word he said?

I'm always sending Christmas cards
They're more interesting in spring
Only my banker knows
The checks I forgot to sign
Where did I get these clothes?
They're not mine!
I made myself a list
Of things I really have to find
But where is that list?

So, why can't I forget
Those summer evenings
He'd wait for me outside our small café?
We were both like kids again
We had so much to say
Why can't I forget him?
It's funny in a way

Funny just remembering
The way we laughed at ev'rything
I found the one that I'd been waiting for
I could hardly recognize
The woman I was in his eyes,
A woman I had never known before

Why can't I forget
The way he touched me?
I see his face, desire in his eyes,
The smile he gave to no one else,
His silences and sighs
Why can't I forget
The way he loved me,
The way I loved him,
And the way he said goodbye?

I just love this song...

I remember finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you
I remember holding you while you sleep
Every day I feel the tears the tears that you weep
Looking out of my lonely gloom, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you ......
Looking out of my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you
I remembert finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you
Looking out from my lonely room, day after day
Bring it home, maybe someday soon
I give my love to you

("Imperial March" - John Williams )

A Thousand Years - Sting

A thousand years
A thousand more
A thousand times
A million doors to eternity

I may have lived a thousand lives
A thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls

If it takes another thousand years
A thousand wars
The towers rise
To numberless floors in space

I could shed another million tears
A million breaths
A million names
But only one truth to face

A million roads
A million fears
A million suns
Ten million years of uncertainty

I could speak a million lies
A million songs
A million rights
A million wrongs
In this balance of time

But if there was a single truth
A single light
A single thought
A singular touch of grace

Then following this single point
This single flame
The single haunted memory
Of your face

I still love you
I still want you

A thousand times
The mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

I may be numberless
I may be innocent
I may know many things
I may be ignorant

Or I could ride with kings
And conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards
And let it slip my hands

I could be cannon food
Destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune’s child
To judge another’s crimes

Or wear this pilgrim’s cloak
Or be a common thief
I’ve kept this single faith
I have but one belief

I still love you
I still want you

A thousand times
The mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head

On and on
The mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
’til you love me

It's been much too long, I feel it coming on
The feeling is getting strong
It's been much too long, I feel it coming on
The feeling is in my bones

Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it

At last the long wait is over
the weight is off my shoulder
I'm taking all control
My mind is set so free

I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me

Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it

I see, you feel the way I do, the feeling all so true
the good feelings coming thru
My mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be, to get the best of me

Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it

It's been much too long, I feel it coming on
The feeling is getting strong
It's been much too long, I feel it coming on
The feeling is in my bones

Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it

At last the long wait is over
the weight is off my shoulder
I'm taking all control yeah
My mind is set so free
I'm where I want to be
To get the best of me

Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it
Too long, can you feel it, too long, oh can you feel it

You know you need it, I need it too
you know you need it, it's good for you
We're gonna move
You know you need it, I need it too
you know you need it

It's good for you

Later,
Trisa

I love the Doors. They have such a great sound....

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
Let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evenin' that the
City sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love
It's our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
Let's climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side

Nothin' left open
And no time to decide
We've stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
You reach your hand to hold me
But I can't be your guide

Easy, I love you
As I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests
On our moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight drive

Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride
Down, down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close
Get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight
Goin' down, down, down

I have had this song in my head for the last day or so. I'm sure it's all the talk of Scrooge. Whatever......

Well, today a friend told me this sorry tale
as he stood there trembling and turning pale
he said each day’s harder to get on the scale
sort of like Jacob Marley’s chain.

But it’s not like life’s such a veil of tears
it’s just full of thoughts that act as souvenirs
for those tiny blunders made in yesteryears
that comprise Jacob Marley’s chain.

Well, I had a little metaphor to state my case
it encompassed the condition of the human race
but to my dismay, it left without a trace
except for the sound of Jacob Marley’s chain.

Now there is no story left to tell
so I think I’d rather just go on to hell
where there’s a snowball’s chance that the personnel
might help to carry Jacob Marley’s chain.

I had a dream that I could fly.
I can feel each moment as time goes by.
You'd never be too far away.
"You would always be here", I heard you say.
I never thought...
Thought that it would be our last goodbye...
I still can dream...
That one day, love will fall out from the sky...

Do you still remember all the time that has gone by?
Do you still believe that love can fall out from the sky?
If from where you're standing, you can see the sky above,
I'll be waiting for you if you still believe in love.

Find a way to bring back yesterday,
Find a way... Aaaah...
A hopeless day, when tomorrow becomes today, (yeah)
Love will find a way...

I'll be waiting for you; in my heart you are the one.
If I cannot find you, I will look up to the sun...
If from where you're standing, you can see the sky above,
I'll be waiting for you if you still believe in love...

Do you still remember all the time that has gone by?
Do you still believe that love can fall out from the sky?
If from where you're standing, you can see the sky above,
I'll be waiting for you if you still believe in love...

Words by Tim Jensen Vocals by Steve Conte

From Wolf's Rain... I remember hearing it and really liking it. Interesting lyrics also.

heaven's not enough
if when you get there...
just another blue
and heaven's not enough
you think you've found it
and it loses you

you've thought of all there is
but not enough
and it loses you in a cloud

"there" most everything is nothin'
that it seems
"where" you see the things you only wanna see

I'd fly away
to a higher plane
to say words I resist
to float away
to sigh
to breath.... forget

and heaven's not enough
if when I'm there I don't remember you
and heaven does enough
you think you know it
and it uses you

I saw so many things
but like a dream
always losing me in a cloud

cause I couldn't cry
cause I turned away
couldn't see the score
didn't know the pain
of leaving yesterday really far behind
in another life
in another dream
by a different name
gave it all away
for a memory
and a quiet life
and I felt the face
of a cold tonight
still don't know the score
but I know the pain
of leaving everything really far behind
and if I could cry
and if I could live what truth I did then take me there
heaven good by

The Scorpions - Rock you like a Hurricane

It's early morning
The sun comes out
Last night was shaking
And pretty loud
My cat is purring
And scratches my skin
So what is wrong
With another sin
The bitch is hungry
She needs to tell
So give her inches
And feed her well
More days to come
New places to go
I've got to leave
It's time for a show

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

My body is burning
It starts to shout
Desire is coming
It breaks out loud
Lust is in cages
Till storm breaks loose
Just have to make it
With someone I choose
The night is calling
I have to go
The wolf is hungry
He runs the show
He's licking his lips
He's ready to win
On the hunt tonight
For love at first sting

Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane
Here I am, rock you like a hurricane

(I don't know what it is about this song, but it's so infectious... Kinda like ebola or the Black Death...)

"Christmas Wrapping" - The Waitresses

"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.

So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.

Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go,

Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.

A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending! "

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!

The Great Beyond - R. E. M.

I've watched the stars fall silent from your eyes
All the sights that I have seen

I can't believe that I believed
I wished that you could see
There's a new planet in the solar system
There's nothing up my sleeve

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

In all this talk of time
Talk is fine
But I don't want to stay around

Why can't we pantomime
Just close our eyes
And sleep sweet dreams
Being here with wings on our feet

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I want the hummingbirds
The dancing bears
Sweetest dreams of you
I Look into the stars
I Look into the moon

I'm pushing an elephant up the stairs
I'm tossing up punchlines that were never there
Over my shoulder a piano falls
Crashing to the ground

I'm brekaing through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond

I'm breaking through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great
Answers from the great
Answers

I'm brekaing through
I'm bending spoons
I'm keeping flowers in full bloom
I'm looking for answers from the great beyond
