song lyrics

Metallica's ONE

I can't remember anything
can't tell if this is true or dream
deep down inside I feel to scream
this terrible silence stops me

now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
that there's not much left of me
nothing is real but pain now

hold my breath as I wish for death
oh please God, wake me

back in the womb it's much too real
in pumps life that I must feel
but can't look forward to reveal
look to the time when I'll live

fed through the tube that sticks in me
just like a wartime novelty
tied to machines that make me be
cut this life off from me

hold my breath as I wish for death
oh please God, wake me

now the world is gone I'm just one
oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death

darkness imprisoning me
all that I see
absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
trapped in myself
body my holding cell

landmine has taken my sight
taken my speech
taken my hearing
taken my arms
taken my legs
taken my soul
left me with life in hell

doll parts by hole

I am doll eyes
Doll mouth, doll legs
I am doll arms, big veins, dog bait
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, but I do too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
I love him so much it just turns to hate
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday, you will ache like I ache

I am doll parts
Bad skin, doll heart
It stands for knife
For the rest of my life
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, they really do
Yeah, they really want you, they really want you, but I do, too
I want to be the girl with the most cake
He only loves those things because he loves to see them break
I fake it so real, I am beyond fake
And someday, you will ache like I ache
Someday you will ache like I ache

For me "The Blues" always cheered me up. I'd listen to lyrics, and think well at least that ain't me.

I don't have the complete lyrics down verbatim, but this is a funny song. It always cracked me up.

IRMA THOMAS
Queen Of New Orleans Blues

Well you can have my husband
but please don't mess with my man.
I'm telling all you women out there
try to understand

The money my husband gives me
goes on red beans and rice
my man keeps me in steak
ain't that nice

That tune cracks me up. Husband handing out only enough for red beans and rice, but that boyfriend he treated her well.

This thread is cool. Thank you.

The words you say, never seem to live up to the ones inside your head.
The lives we make, never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead.

I like heaps of the songs already listed, but here are a few choice lines from some others:

"There's a place that I keep deep within my soul,
It can trigger my mind
All along I've know it has been with me,
Since I was just a child

I just summon power within my soul,
It has given me life, beyond life..."

Pantera- from the Cowboys from hell album


"What ive felt
what ive known
never shined through on what ive shown
never be,
never see
wont see what might have been
what ive felt,
what ive known
never shined through on what ive shown
never free,
never me
so I dub thee unforgiven"

Metallica- The unforgiven- Chorus


"I will come for you at night time
I will raise you from your sleep
I will kiss you in four places
I'll go running along your street

I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
We will never forget it
You will make me call your name
and I'll shout it to the bluesummer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me

I dreamed of you at night time
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet

So if you dissapear out of view
You know, I will never say goodbye
Though I try to forget it
You will make me call your name
and I'll shout it to the bluesummer sky

We may never meet again
So shed your skin and lets get started
And you will throw your arms around me
Yeah you will throw you arms around me"

Just a beautiful song (sigh). Hunters and Collectors- Throw your arms around me.

I could go on and on and on... but i'll restrain mysel

may be it would be more interesting for teens but:

Fort minor : Remember the name

[Chorus]
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!

Mike! - He doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him
But ###$ em, he knows the code
It's not about the salary
It's all about reality and making some noise
Makin the story - makin sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin it up! let's go!

Who the hell is he anyway?
He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leavin them star struck
Humbled through opportunities given to him despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a livin from writin raps
Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never askin for someone's help, or to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

This is twenty percent skill
Eighty percent beer
Be one hundred percent clear cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought that he'd be the one to set the west in flames
And I heard him wreckin with The Crystal Method, "Name Of The Game"
Came back dropped Megadef, took em to church
I like bleach man, why you had the stupidest verse?
This dude is the truth, now everybody's giving him guest spots
His stock's through the roof I heard he's ###$' with S. Dot!

[Chorus]

They call him Ryu, he's sick
And he's spittin fire with Mike
Got him out the dryer he's hot
Found him in Fort Minor with Tak
What a ###$' nihilist porcupine
He's a prick, he's a cock
The type woman want to be with, and rappers hope he get shot
Eight years in the makin, patiently waitin to blow
Now the record with Shinoda's takin over the globe
He's got a partner in crime, his $#%^ is equally dope
You wont believe the kind of $#%^ that comes out of this kid's throat

Tak! - He's not your everyday on the block
He knows how to work with what he's got
Makin his way to the top
He often gets a comment on his name
People keep askin him was it given at birth
Or does it stand for an acronym?
No he's livin proof, Got him rockin the booth
He'll get you buzzin quicker than a shot of vodka with juice
Him and his crew are known around as one of the best
Dedicated to what they do and give a hundred percent

Forget Mike - Nobody really knows how or why he works so hard
It seems like he's never got time
Because he writes every note and he writes every line
And I've seen him at work when that light goes on in his mind
It's like a design is written in his head every time
Before he even touches a key or speaks in a rhyme
And those #####& he runs with,
The kids that he signed?
Ridiculous, without even trying,
How do they do it?!

[Chorus - repeat 2x]

Ani Difranco
Crime for a Crime



The big day has come
The bell is sounding
I run my hands through my hair one last time
Outside the prison walls
The town is gathering
People are trading crime for crime

Everyone needs to see the prisoner
They need to make it even easier
They see me as a symbol, and not a human being
That way they can kill me
Say it's not murder, it's a metaphor
We are killing off our own failure
And starting clean

Standing in the gallows
Everyone turned my way
I hear a voice ask me
If I've got any last words to say
And I'm looking out over the field of familiar eyes
Somewhere in a woman's arms a baby cries

I think guilt and innocence
They are a matter of degree
What might be justice to you
Might not be justice to me
I went to far, I'm sorry
I guess now I'm going home
So let any amongst you cast the first stone
Now we've got all these complicated machines
So no one person ever has to have blood on their hands
We've got complex organizations
And if everyone just does their job
No one person has to understand

You might be the wrong colour
You might be too poor
Justice isn't something just anyone can afford
You might not pull the trigger
You might be out in the car
And you might get a lethal injection
'Cause we take a metaphor that far

The big day has come
The bell is sounding
I run my hands through my hair one last time
Outside the prison walls
The town has gathered
People are trading crime for crime
People are trading crime for crime
People are still trading crime for crime

" Hunters and Collectors - Throw your arms around me. "

Wow .. last time I heard that song i was making out in the back of a cordova great song though

here's two from the Siouxie vault

Slide over here, listen to me
Rippling wordstreams to unlock dreams
Take up the slack... loosen these bonds
Unzip and undo, untie my tongue
Untiedundone

It's sucking out bones through a melting phone
In a whispering eddy, I am undone
Untiedundone

Turning to liquid, starting to float
Everything's easy from now on
Untiedundone

Unhook and unhinge in a river of dreams
Rippling wordstreams unraveling
Uncork the wine let's toast the unborn
It's my unbirthday,
untied and undone

Unwrap this gift in a state of undress
The future's uncertain, nothing less
Untiedundone

The Creatures ~ Untiedundone
Siouxie Sioux
The Creatures ~ pinned down

I can't think can't speak
are you talking to me
I drift off
with such ease
I'm not listening you see
pinned down without a crown
are you talking to me
I drift off
with such ease
I'm not listening you see
the same words
flesh eating birds
you always like to bring it down
you want to own it
you want to know it
you're only safe when it's pinned down
a bug stuck on a pin
you love to see it struggling
she's not a pet to be tamed
think you can bring her will to heel
your baying hounds
head to the ground
you always like to bring it down
you can't take it can only break it
you'll be the one that's left pinned down
pinned down without a crown
are you talking to me
I drift off with such ease
I'm not listening you see
eat these words
these preying birds
now I'm the one that lets you down
you're pinned down and you've found
it makes no difference to me

"mezzanine", by massive attack

I'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes
And how serene your friends and fiends
We flew and strolled as two eliminated gently
Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me

You know you've got that heart made of stone
You should have let me know
You could have let me know

We'll go 'till morning comes
And traffic grows
And windows hum

Speding all week with your friends
Give me evenings and weekends
Evenings and weekends

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these have flaws
All these have flaws

You'd agree it's a typical high
You fly as you watch your name go by
And once the name goes by
Not thicker than water nor thicker than mud
And the eight k thuds it does

Sunset so thickly
Let's make it quiet and quickly
Don't frown
It taste's better on the way back down

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
Will lead to mine

We can unwind
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
Will lead to mine
Will see to
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
Will see to
All these have flaws
Will lead to mine
We can unwind all our flaws
We can unwind all our flaws
