btlzu2's Journal: gimme them there damn lyrics that *GETCHA*!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, it's time again. i think i did this 3 years ago or something, though i'm not going to go look for it because i'm getting back to work quickly here. Let me put you in the picture, let me show you what I mean...

WHAT LYRICS DO YOU REALLY IDENTIFY WITH? alternately, if you don't really identify with them, but they move you, do that instead.

They don't have to be good even. Well, to me, a good lyric is one that hits me in the heart. Not always, but my favorite lyrics are usually that. This song has always gotten me all riled up and emotional. For some reason, it seems like I could've written them if I had the ability to do such things.

Post yours below or I'LL KILL YOU! ;)

I fear that I am ordinary, just like everyone.
To lie here and die among the sorrows
Adrift among the days.
For everything I ever said
And everything I've ever done is gone and dead

As all things must surely have to end
And great lovers will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world

My life has been extraordinary
Blessed and cursed and won
Time heals but I'm forever broken
By and by the way...

Have you ever heard the words
I'm singing in these songs?
It's for the girl I've loved all along
Can a taste of love be so wrong?

As all things must surely have to end
And great lovers will one day have to part
I know that I am meant for this world

And in my mind as I was floating
Far above the clouds
Some children laughed I'd fall for certain
For thinking that I'd last forever.

But I knew exactly where I was
And I knew the meaning of it all
And I knew the distance to the sun
And I knew the echo that is love
And I knew the secrets in your spires
And I knew the emptiness of youth
And I knew the solitude of heart
And I knew the murmurs of the soul

And the world is drawn into your hands
And the world is etched upon your heart
And the world so hard to understand
Is the world you can't live without!
And I knew the silence of the world.

uh huh....

[Em Emalb]

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because I'm easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now he's dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow-

Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-

Dang, this whole time (including doing this song in Karaoke) I've always thought it was:

Scare a moose? Scare a moose? Will you do the fandango?

wish I was oceansized
no one moves you (man)
no one tries
I seen the ocean
break on the shore
come together
no harm done

Short an' sweet

[Ethelred Unraed]

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim
Let the truth of Love be lighted
Let the love of Truth shine clear
Sensibility
Armed with sense and liberty
With the heart and mind united
In a single, perfect
Sphere

I also like the lyrics to La Villa Strangiato.

Cheers,

Ethelred

Wasteland

[HokieSeas]

I've been through the wasteland and
It's only a mile ago from here, from here, from here
And now it's a memory but
It's only a smile ago from here, from here, from here

Tell me you love me more than once in a while
'Cause I wanna see you smile

And I want to be all that
I can be from here, from here, from here
And if I ever doubt, Lord,
What life's all about from here, from here, from here

Tell me you love me more than once in a while
'Cause I wanna see you smile

Killers - Mr Brightside

[OctaneZ]

This strong struck me about 3 days ago, I finally understood the meaning, the pain, the agony that it represents.

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his--chest
Now, he takes off

Lyrics

[Tet]

Although I've always liked the song, it didn't really mean anything until I saw them play it live, and I was standing next to my ex.

Time, it needs time
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

Fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can break down the walls someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

If we'd go again
All the way from t

Eeeep. Maybe it's because the Scorpions are from Hannover, but I really can't hear them anymore. :-/

One of the more daft things I've seen: Some years ago on German TV, they had a live interview with Gorbachev before a studio audience. But before the interview started, the presenter said, "But first, here's the Scorpions' Klaus Meine to sing Winds of Change for our honored guest!" And sure enough, there he was, with Gorbachev sitting there looking a little befuddled while a German rocker sang some song he

The last verse always gets me...

[sillypixie]

I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning thunder was desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago

Chorus:
Make me an angel that flies from montgom'ry
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go

When I was a young girl well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years

"Your comment has too few characters per line (currently 16.9)."

Byte me, lameness filter! Here I am, trying to make art and stuff, and I'm getting repressed by The Man.

I'm feeling passive agressive today, so no lyrics from me today!

WHEN THE SHIT HITS THE FAN
Circle Jerks - from Golden Shower of Hits

In a sluggish economy
inflation, recession
hits the land of the free
standing in unemployment lines
blame the government

we just get by
however we can
we all gotta duck

time to brush the crumbs out of your bed
do i want a life of leisure?
what the hell is wrong with me?
first a tremor,then a seizure
middle aged lobotomy
unrepentant scofflaw on the lam
layin waste to all the best laid plans
i swear the gingko's working in reverse

U's unglued and never over
N is for the noose you knotted
T is for the tears i blotted
C is carbon tetrachloride
U stands for im standing upright

Good morning, it's 3am in this great roaring city full of garbage eaters ravaging parking spots beneath my plaza window I see cheetah in their tight skins and tired heels, all-night hippo in the diner crossing the street, swarthy herds of young impala flambastic gibbon, even a struggling monza and over there that brilliant head ornament on that Japanese macaque, but look closely at the hammerhead hand in hand with the mandrill, it's a sight you're unlikely to see anywhere else on the planet

I'll write you a letter tomorrow
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow
I promise not to blow the address again

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a crack in the drapes

Jesus rides beside me
He never buys any smokes
Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes

See you're high and lonesome
Try and try and try

Lights that flash in the evening,
Through a hole in the drapes
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
I can't hardly wait

I can't wai

When Did I See You Cry

Someone's child but no one's friend
A city street alone again
Funny how tears don't wash away
Even in December rain

Someone's child you'd never meet
Merchandise on a darkened street
A painted face with a child's eyes
A paradox of sad disguise

When did I see You cry oh Lord
When were You all alone
When did I see You so far away from home

Someone's child now half alive
Lives in a bottle just to survive
Had a home and had a w

1952 Vincent Black Lightning

[redhead-kitten]

Said Red Molly to James, that's a fine motorbike,
a girl could feel special on any such like
said James to Red Molly, well my hats off to you
it's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952
and I've seen you at the corners and cafes, it seems
red hair and black leather, my favourite colour scheme
and he pulled her on behind
and down to Boxhill they did ride

said James to Red Molly, here's a ring for your right hand
but I'll tell you in earnest, I'm a dangerous man
for I've fought with the law since I was seventeen
I robbed many

Don't call me Rich,
Don't call me George,
Just call me Cheeze,

Don't call me Rich,

Don't call me Rich,

Not Rich, not George, I'm Cheeze!

Civilized...
until the keg runs dry.
Heavy stride...
to drink from 9-5.
And then from 5-9.
Always drunk and going crazy.
Always drunk and going crazy,
You'd better believe it.

Don't call me Rich,
Don't call me George,
Just call me Cheeze,
Thats who I am!
Don't call

"now is strange" by they might be giants:

Have you seen that naughty boy
Who steals each blade of grass
And replaces it with wires and batteries

In the corner of your eye
Do you see that scribbled word?
Do you hear the wind whispering?

Now
Now is strange
I'd like to hear; what did you change?
No, no, it's not before anymore
It's gone
Weird
Now is strange

I could remove my apartment buzzer
And I know underneath that five would be a si

Right Here, Right Now - Jesus Jones

I saw the decade in, when it seemed
the world could change at the blink of an eye
And if anything
then there's your sign... of the times

I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now

I was alive and I waited, waited
I was alive and I waited for this
Right here, right now
there is no other place I want to be
Right here, right now
watching the world wake up from history

It's the result of coming of age during the cold war while
