Song Quotes/Lyrics

Just for kicks....
Sorry in advance, though.



'Showdown' by Britney Spears

Yeah
Just something a girl's gotta do

Well..
Never thought I'd see you like this
You're looking good when you're half dressed
Just let me give you one last test
Is that sin?
Am I too hot for you though?
Did you check out my video?
There's some things you don't know
Like this

I'll take you
Don't stand in my way
Just give in
When you are ready to play
uh-uh- Like this

CHORUS
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowd's all waiting
Well...coz if we can break up
Then we can make up
Check my body on that
Here comes the showdown

Well...
I don't really wanna be a tease
But would you undo my zipper please?
Uh-uh please don't talk
Now listen
I'll let you touch me if you want
I'll see your body rise, rise
And it becomes a bit too hot
Butterfly

I'll take you
Don't stand in my way
Just give in
When you are ready to play
uh-uh- Like this

CHORUS
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowd's all waiting
Well...coz if we can break up
Then we can make up
Check my body on that
Here comes the showdown

We'll get the tension when we fight
We'll make it up, turn down the lights
It's just a lovers' game we play
Yeah-eh-eh
After the screaming's at an end
Why don't we do it all again?
That's when the fun really begins
Oh-woah

CHORUS
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowd's all waiting
Well...coz if we can break up
Then we can make up
Check my body on that
pay attention
yeah
yeah
yeah
Here comes the showdown
Well...
Here comes the showdown
What goes around comes around
And the crowd's all waiting
Well...
Here comes the showdown
Well.


Again, I'm sorry, but, it's so funny.

I'm on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

instrumental and tempo shift

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in

continue to end with concurrent scat

Oh, let it shine, c'mon
Now everybody just sing along
Let the sun shine in
Open up your heart and let it shine on in
When you are lonely, let it shine on
Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you've been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in

Hmmmm . . .

Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies
Of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound
Loud as the rolling sea
Sing a Song
Full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a Song
Full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun
Of our new day begun
Let us march on
Till victory is won

Stony the road we trod
Bitter the chastning rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come
over a way that with tears has been watered
We have come
Treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam
Of our bright star is cast

God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way
Thou who has by Thy might
Led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet
Stray from the places, our God, where we meet Thee?
Lest our hearts
Drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee?
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God,
True to our native land

What can I say? It's black history month. I'm doing good to be able to remember all three verses.

When i get older
loosing my hair
many years from now
will you still be sending me valentines
birthday greatings
bottles of wine

If i say out till Quarter two 3
will you lock the door
will you still need me
will you still feed me
when Im sixty four

you'll be older too

and if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy mending a fuse
when your lights have gone
you can knit a sweater by the fire side
sunday mornings go for a ride

Working the garden
digging the weeds
who could ask for more
a-will you still need me
will you still feed me
when Im sixty four

every summer we can rent a cottage
in th ile of whites if its not to dear
we shale scrimp and save
Grand childeren on your knees
were a jock and day

Send me a postcard
drop me a line
stating points of view
indicat prociesly what you mean to say
your cencerly wasting away

Give me your answer
state me a view
Im for ever more
a-will you still need me
will you still feed me
when I'm Sixty Four

......hoow......

beatles.......when im Sixty Four

O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


O thus be it ever when free-men shall stand
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Hah! All four verses!

It's about time I got around to posting in this topic...some of my favorite lyrics? Here are a few...(I'll post the entire song and bold my favorite lyrics).

Come Sail Away (Styx)

I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I had the some of the lyrics in my signature for awhile.

The Show Must Go On (Queen)

Empty spaces - what are we living for?
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score..
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are looking for?

Another hero - another mindless crime.
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime.
Hold the line!
Does anybody want to take it anymore?

The show must go on!
The show must go on!
Inside my heart is breaking,
My make-up may be flaking,
But my smile, still, stays on!

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance.
Another heartache - another failed romance.
On and on!
Does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning.
I must be warmer now..
I'll soon be turning round the corner now.
Outside the dawn is breaking,
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free!

The show must go on!
The show must go on! Yeah!
Ooh! Inside my heart is breaking!
My make-up may be flaking!
But my smile, still, stays on!
Yeah! oh oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies,
Fairy tales of yesterday, will grow but never die,
I can fly, my friends!

The show must go on! Yeah!
The show must go on!
I'll face it with a grin!
I'm never giving in!
On with the show!

I'll top the bill!
I'll overkill!
I have to find the will to carry on!
On with the,
On with the show!

The show must go on.

Finally...

Mr. Roboto (Styx)

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Mata ah-oo hima de
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Himitsu wo shiri tai

You're wondering who I am (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
Machine of mannequin (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
With parts made in Japan (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
I am the modren man

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM
So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised
I'm just a man who needed someone and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive, just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive

I'm not a robot without emotions, I'm not what you see
I've come to help you with your problems so we can be free
I'm not a hero, I'm not a savior, forget what you know
I'm just a man who's circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control, I need control
I need control, We all need control

I am the modren man (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
Who hides behind a mask (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
So no one else can see (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity

Domo arigato, Mr, Roboto
Domo, Domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo, Domo
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
(Thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto
for doing the jobs that nobody wants to)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
(And thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto
for helping me escape just when I needed to)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
(Thank you thank you thank you)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
(I wanna thank you)
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
(Please thank you)

The problems plain to see
Too much technology
Machines to save our lives
Machines de-humanize

The time has come at last (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
To throw away this mask (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
Now everyone can see (Secret secret, I've got a secret)
My true identity

I'm Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy! Kilroy....

Great songs...great lyrics...

ALABAMA SONG by: THE DOORS

Well, show me the way, To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way, To the next whiskey bar
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find, The next whiskey bar
I tell you we must die, I tell you we must die
I tell you, I tell you, I tell you we must die
Oh, moon of Alabama, We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you now why
Oh, moon of Alabama
We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you now why
Well, show me the way, To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
Show me the way, To the next little girl
Oh, don't ask why, Oh, don't ask why
For if we don't find, The next little girl

Oh, moon of Alabama, We now must say goodbye
We've lost our good old mama
And must have whiskey, oh, you now why

La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento

E di pensiero.

Sempre un a mabile
Leggiadro viso,
In pianto o in riso,
è mensognero.

La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento
E di pensier,
E di pensier,

E di pensier!

E' sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida,
Chi a le s’ confida,
Mal cauto il core!

Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Qui su quel seno,
Non liba amore!

La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
Muta d'accento
E di pensier,
E di pensier,
E di pensier!


Any Way You Want It Lyrics


Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it


She loves to laugh
She loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves the lovin' things


Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh, baby, hold tight


Oh, she said,
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said, Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it


I was alone
I never knew
What good love could do
Ooh, then we touched
Then we sang
About the lovin' things


Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh baby, hold tight


Oh, she said,
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said, Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it

Dreamed I was an eskimo
Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots and around my toes
The frost that bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero...

And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don’t be a naughty eskimo
Save your money, don’t go to the show

Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go, and don’t you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go, and don’t you eat that yellow snow

Nanook Rubs it


(well, right about that time people
A fur-trapper (who was strictly from commercial)
Had the unmitigated audacity to jump up from behind my igloo (peekaboo) )
And he started into whippin’ on my favorite baby seal
With a lead-filled snowshoe)

I said, with a
Lead-
Filled
With a lead filled snowshoe
He said, peekaboo
I said, with a
Lead-
Filled
With a lead filled snowshoe
He said, peekaboo
He went right upside the head of my favorite baby seal
He went whap with a lead-filled snowshoe, and
He hit him on the nose and hit him on the fin, and he
That got me just about as evil as an eskimo boy can be. so I bent down
And I reached down, and I scooped down and I gathered up a generous
Mitten-ful of the deadly yellow snow

The deadly yellow snow, from right there where the huskies go!

Whereupon I proceeded to take that mittenful of the deadly yellow snow
Crystals and rub it all into his beady little eyes with a vigorous
Circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
To take the place of the mudshark in your mythology
Here it goes,the circular motion, now rub it!

(here fido)

And then
In a fit of anger
I pounced

And I pounced again

Great googly moogly!

I jumped up and down on the chest of the him

I injured
The fur trapper

Well he was very upset, as you can understand
And rightly so, because the
Deadly yellow snow crystals had
Deprived him of his
Sight

And he stood up, and he looked around, and he said

I can’t see
I can’t see
Oh, woe is me
I can’t see

Well.....you know
I can’t see
Nothin’

He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my right eye
He took a dog-doo snow cone and stuffed it in my other eye
And the husky wee-wee
I mean the doggie wee-wee
Has blinded me
And I can’t see
Temporarily

Well, the fur-trapper stood there, with his arms outstretched across the
Frozen white wasteland, trying to figure out what he was going to do about
His deflicted eyes. and it was at that precise moment that he remembered
And ancient eskimo legend, wherein it is written (on whatever it is that
They write it on up there) that if anything bad ever happens to your eyes
As the result of some sort of conflict with anyone named
Nanook,
The only way you can get it fixed up is to go

Trudging across the tundra
Mile after mile
Trudging across the tundra

Right down to the parish of st. alphonzo

well the entire album just goes into like 1 huge thing its a story


O I found it.

Rick James's

SUPERFREAK
She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it's the right time
She's never hard to please

{Refrain}
That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazine
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
She's a super freak, super freak
She's super-freaky, yow

Super freak, super freak

She's a very special girl
The kind of girl you want to know
From her head down to her toenails
Down to her feet, yeah
And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine
Going back in Chinatown

Three's not a crowd to her, she says
"Room 714, I'll be waiting"
When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles
It's such a freaky scene

{Refrain}

{Bridge}

Temptations sing!
Ohhhhh
Super freak, super freak
That girl's a super freak
Ohhhhh

She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

Blow, Danny!

Narcosynthesis- Nevermore

Hypnotize me, Mesmerize me, drain the color from my eyes.
Patronize me, energize me, change the world internalize.

How did it come to this, Narcosynthesis
How did it come to this, Narcosynthesis

Alienate me, learn to hate me
Crucify your ideals the flesh is the swine
We are the last ones and were bleeding for an unseen god

How did it come to this, Narcosynthesis
How did it come to this, Narcosynthesis

Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?
Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer, the great concealer
Please salvage my soul

Victimize me, vilify me
Vilipend and amend the sins you condign
you are the nothing and you speak for
all that never was

Turn my blood to sand
Lives fall through the hourglass and grow cold
What are you searching for?
Turn my dirt to gold
Time the healer, the great concealer
Please salvage my soul

I'll divide them up into categories according to artist.

Tori Amos:

"And is your place in heaven worth giving up these kisses?" (forget which song, or even if it was a song. I'm sure Crystalline would help me out. )

"I'll say it loud, here by your grave--those angels can't ever take my place." (Playboy Mommy)

"You sign 'Prince of Darkness,' try 'Squire of Dimness.' " (She's Your Cocaine)

"Caught a light sneeze
Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine"
(Caught a Lite Sneeze)

"Thougt I knew myself so well
All the dolls I had
Took my leather off the shelf
Your apocalypse was fab
For a girl who couldn't
Choose between the shower or the bath"
(Hey Jupiter)

"Looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been rasing up my hands--drive another nail in
Where are those angels when you need them?"
(Crucify)

"And I think there are pieces of me you've never seen
Maybe she's just pieces of me you've never seen"
(Tear In Your Hand)

"And is it right, Butterfly
They like you better framed and dried?"
(Butterfly)

"Show me the things I've been missing
Show me the ways I forgot to be speaking
Show me the ways to get back to the garden
Show me the ways to get around the get around
Show me the ways to button up buttons
That have forgotten they're buttons
Well, we can't have that
Forgetting that..."
(Yes, Anastasia)

Oh, yes, and obviously my signature...can't forget that, since it's like my favorite.

And though I'm positive there are more where those came from, I'll move on:

"If I could draw a map of a boy that I would like
Your resume would shine through like a bright green light
If I didn't feel so wrong
If I didn't feel so wrong
If I didn't feel so wrong
You'd be my Mr. Right"
("Ms. Wrong" by that dog.)

"Save us from all the arrogant men
And from all the causes they're for
I won't be righteous again
I'm not that sure anymore"
("Shades of Grey" by Billy Joel!)

"This is what she says gets her through it
If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?
If not now, when?"
("For Me This Is Heaven" by Jimmy Eat World)

"Oh, they told you life was hard
Misery from the start
It's slow
It's dull
It's painful
But I tell you life is sweet"
("Life Is Sweet" by Natalie Merchant)

"I heard those stupid people talk about you again
Yeah, I just have to laugh to keep from hurting bad
Their simple minds just cannot seem to understand
You are neurotic and depressed
It doesn't mean that you're sad"
("Normal Like You" by Everclear)

"I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame"
("Father of Mine" by Everclear)

"I am just like everyone I know
I am afraid of things that I don't know
I am afraid of ever really being alone
I want to find myself a brand new heart
I want to find a girl and make a brand new start
I want to find a girl and get lost in the dark"
("Songs From an American Movie Part II" by Everclear)


And, eh, I could go on forever, but I'm lazy. And my arm hurts for some reason.

Atropos

Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

and from the Martha White Busicut Show

How many biscuits did you eat this morning?
How many biscuits can you eat this evening?
Only bake with Martha White.
Goodness gracious its good and light.

and then there is something after that but I can't find the lyrics and I can't decipher them

edit and another song
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin',
At the scene of the attack.
There were hoof prints on her forehead,
And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma go run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now were all so proud of Grandpa,
He's been takin' this so well.
See him in there watchin' football,
Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.
All the family's dressed in black.
And we just can't help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table
And the pudding made of pig.
And a blue and silver candle,
That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbors.
Better watch out for yourselves.
They should never give a license,
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I used to be a renegade, I used to fool around
But I couldn’t take the punishment, and had to settle down
Now I’m playing it real straight, and yes I cut my hair
You might think I’m crazy, but I don’t even care
Because I can tell what’s going on
It’s hip to be square

I like my bands in business suits, I watch them on tv
I’m working out most everyday and watching what I eat
They tell me that it’s good for me, but I don’t even car
I know that it’s crazy
I know that it’s nowhere
But there is no denying that
It’s hip to be square

It’s not too hard to figure out, you see it everyday
And those that were the farthest out have gone the other way
You see them on the freeway, it don’t look like a lot of fun
But don’t you try to fight it; an idea who’s time has come.

Don’t tell me that I’m crazy
Don’t tell me I’m nowhere
Take it from me
It’s hip to be square

Let martial note in triumph float
And liberty extend its mighty hand
A flag appears 'mid thunderous cheers,
The banner of the Western land.
The emblem of the brave and true
Its folds protect no tyrant crew;
The red and white and starry blue
Is freedom's shield and hope.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.


Hurrah for the flag of the free!
May it wave as our standard forever,
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with mighty endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.


Let eagle shriek from lofty peak
The never-ending watchword of our land;
Let summer breeze waft through the trees
The echo of the chorus grand.
Sing out for liberty and light,
Sing out for freedom and the right.
Sing out for Union and its might,
O patriotic sons.
Other nations may deem their flags the best
And cheer them with fervid elation,
But the flag of the North and South and West
Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom's nation.


Hurrah for the flag of the free.
May it wave as our standard forever
The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right.
Let despots remember the day
When our fathers with might endeavor
Proclaimed as they marched to the fray,
That by their might and by their right
It waves forever.


Stars and Stripes Forever!!! ^_^

I'm another huge Rooney kick. Mostly cause I love them. And partly because I met them!!! *fangirl scream*

The song I'm posting is Sam's favorite; she was supposed to go with me, but her mom changed her mind.

It Goes to Bed

Why are you suprised?
Nobody's arived
thoughts on peoples minds, all or nothing
and must you be so blind
not to realize
everybodys thoughts mean something

It goes to bed..it goes to bed
It goes to bed..it goes to bed
Cant you realize were nothing

Nothing stays the same
all we do is blame
we're the ones at fault, no one perfect
i'll tell it like it is
we dont belong in this bizz
pack up the vintage life, were leaving

it goes to bed...it goes to bed
it goes to bed..it goes to bed

cant you realize
that they say what they think they know
and they know whats on television
they dress how the others dress
and they feel without the truth of even feeling

it goes to bed...it goes to bed
it goes to bed...it goes to bed
it goes to bed...it goes to bed
it goes to bed...it goes to bed...
Can't you realize, we must compromise


Rooney rocks!!!!

I was inspired to find more! All of these are from The Postal Service's album "Give Up"

You seem so out of context
In this gaudy apartment complex
The stranger with your door key
Explaining that I am just visiting
And I am finally seeing
Why I was the one worth leaving
~"The District Sleeps Alone Tonight"

What does it take to get a drink in this place?
What does it take? How long must I wait?
~"This Place Is a Prison"

I kissed you in a style
Clark Gable would have admired
I thought it "classic"
~"Clark Gable"

I want so badly to believe
That there is truth
That love is real
And I want life in every word
To the extent that it's absurd
I know you're wise beyond your years
But do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie
You tell yourself to help you get by?
~"Clark Gable"

I want to take you far away
From the cynics in this town
We'll cut our bodies free
From the tethers of this scene
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change
We'll give ourselves new names
Identities erased
The sun will heat the ground
Under our bare feet
In this brand new colony
This brand new colony
...Everything will change...
~"Brand New Colony"

And a couple more I decided to toss in:

Mother, can't you see I've got
To live my life the way I feel is right for me?
Might not be right for you
But it's right for me
~Sarah McLachlan "Elsewhere"

I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around in bed all day
Just staring at the walls
Hanging 'round bars at night
Wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone
Who wants to take me home
~Garbage "Cup of Coffee"

As far as I can tell it doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's something worth fighting for
The color of an eye, the glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms, the smile he always shoots at you
~Garbage "Parade"

Momma, I don't want to die
But I sometimes wish I had never been born at all
~Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody" (one of my all-time favorite songs!)

We are a beautiful letdown
Painfully uncool
The church of the dropouts and losers
And sinners and failures and fools
~Switchfoot "The Beautiful Letdown"

"Disintegration" is still my favorite album by The Cure



Untitled

Hopelessly drift
In the eyes of the ghost again
Down on my knees
And my hands in the air again
Pushing my face in the memory of you again
But I never know if it's real
Never know how I wanted to feel
Never quite said what Iwanted to say to you
Never quite managed the words to explain to you
Never quite knew how to make them believable
And now the time has gone
Another time undone
Hopelessly fighting the devil
Futility
Feeling the monster
Climb deeper inside of me
Feeling him gnawing my heart away
Hungrily
I'll never lose this pain
Never dream of you again

Pictures of You

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

It's My Life, Bon Jovi (kindda old school, hey i'm 13)


This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
A silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Chorus:
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

Chorus:
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!


Pray- Ever Little Thing (lol do you want a translation?)
To The Sky...kanjiru mama

I love that song!

Don't Bother None:
Readin' my paper in Ray's cafe
The ol' guy next to me is loud as day
Rambled and rambled while eatin' his pie
He dropped his wallet, now it's mine uh huh

Sorry old man but that's jus' the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

Picked up the wallet and slipped out side
Walked around and walked around and walked around town
I found my nerve and a good place to hide
Only to find no cash inside uh-huh

Oh well I guess that's just the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

I got thirsty so I went to a bar
Met a lil darlin' with the face of a star
In the mornin' woke up to find
She stole my car along with my heart uh-huh

Oh well I guess that's jus' the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it

Wish she'd give me back my heart uh-huh

Oh, well I guess that's jus' the way that it is
Don't bother none
Won't help at all to worry 'bout it
