Naughty, naughty and naughty:
Pull Up to the Bumper
"Now in the parking lot garage,
I found a proper place,
Just follow all the written rules,
You'll fit into the space.
Pull up to my bumper baby,
In your long black limosine,
Pull up to my bumper baby,
And drive it in between.
Pull up, to it, don't drive, through it,
Back it, up twice, now that, fit's nice.
Operate around the clock,
Slow it if you come in?
I've got lot's of space for everyone,
One for you my friend?
My lines are short I'll fix you up
so won't you please come on,
Shiny sleek machine you wheeled,
It I've got to blow your horn."
:D
I really like the lyrics of Eisregen as they are so sick and controversial.
I especially like how it shows how much the music matters to how you interpret the lyrics.
The most disgusting lyrics can become beautiful together with the right music.
Although I doubt posting one of their lyrics here would be very apropriate.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - dark and funny! :love:
Abbatoir Blues
The sun is high up in the sky and I’m in my car
Drifting down into the abattoir
Do you see what I see, dear?
The air grows heavy. I listen to your breath
Entwined together in this culture of death
Do you see what I see, dear?
Slide on over here, let me give you a squeeze
To avert this unholy evolutionary trajectory
Can you hear what I hear, babe?
Does it make you feel afraid?
Everything’s dissolving, babe, according to plan
The sky is on fire, the dead are heaped across the land
I went to bed last night and my moral code got jammed
I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand
I kissed you once. I kissed you again
My heart it tumbled like the stock exchange
Do you feel what I feel, dear?
Mass extinction, darling, hypocrisy
These things are not good for me
Do you see what I see, dear?
The line the God throws down to you and me
Makes a pleasing geometry
Shall we leave this place now, dear?
Is there someway out of here?
I wake with the sparrows and I hurry off to work
The need for validation, babe, gone completely berserk
I wanted to be your Superman but I turned out such a jerk
I got the abattoir blues
I got the abattoir blues
I got the abattoir blues
Right down to my shoes
Um, I like Avril songs, but I don't feel like typing Forgotten but I will anyway
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
I'm giving up on everything
Because you messed me up
Don't know how much you
Screwed it up
You never listened
That's just too bad
Because I'm moving on
I won't forget
You were one that was wrong
I know I need to step up
and be strong
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Chorus
Have you forgotten
Everything that I wanted
Do you forget it now
You never got to
Do you get it now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Gotta get away
There's no point thinking about yesterday
It's too late now
It won't ever be the same
We're so different now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Chorus
I know I wanna run away
I know I wanna run away
Run away
If only I could run away
If only I could run away
Run away
I told you what I wanted
I told you what I wanted
What I wanted
But I was forgotten
I won't be forgotten
Never again
Chorus (2x)
Forgotten
Yeah yeah yeah
Forgotten
Yeah yeah yeah
HIM - your sweet 666
Our Lady Peace - I know
(i haven't heard it in awhile, don't recall the first line)
We watch the red oaks glow, I watch you float away
Out here in the atmosphere, garbage and city lights
You're gonna save our tired souls, you're gonna save our lives
And all we are is oh so far
You're fallin' back to me,
the star that can see and
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're fallin' out of reach,
defyin' gravity and
I know you're out there, somwhere out there
(i don't remember the first line here either)
I miss your purple hair, I miss the way you taste
Now you're lookin' down on me from your getaway
I'm hopin' that you don't burn out or fade away
And all we are is oh so far
You're fallin' back to me,
the star that can see and
I know you're out there, somewhere out there
You're fallin' out of reach,
defyin' gravity and
I know you're out there, somwhere out there
Roosevelt Franklin - Insomnia 411
You find better lyrics on any song than that.
Yo, I'll tell ya what I want
What I really really want
So tell me what you want
What you really really want
I'll tell ya what I want
What I really really want
So tell me....
[/joking]
Hmmm...lyrics....I'd have to say my favorite is Welcome to the Jungle by Guns 'n Roses.
I'm timeless like a broken watch,
I make money like Fred Astaire.
I see that you've come to resist me,I'm a pitbull in time.
Your pretense is not what restricts me,
It's the circles inside.
The anatomy of kisses and a teacher who tries,
Who knows how we'll disappear.
Would like to be my missus,
And in future with child?
You know that we can't get back from here.
But we can get away.
Baby don't you try to fight me.
Baby won't you try to fight?
Lady don't you try to find me.
Baby, it will be all right.
Along the way...
Tears drown in the wake of delight.
There's nothing like this built today.
You'll never see a finer ship in your life.
We sail today...
Tears drown in the wake of delight.
There's nothing like this built today...
You'll never see a finer ship,
Or receive a better tip in your life.
I am the scavenger...
Between the sheets of union.
Lately I can't tell for sure,
whether machines turn anyone.
I am the scavenger...
Between the sheets of union.
Lately I can't tell for sure,
If the machines turn anyone.
Lady don't you try to find me.
Lady don't you try to fight.
Lady don't you try to find me.
Baby it will be all right.
We sail today...
Tears drown in the wake of delight.
There's nothing like this built today.
You'll never see a finer ship in your life.
Along the way...
The sea will crowd us with lovers at night.
There's nothing like this built today.
You'll never see a finer ship,
Or receive a better tip in your life.
I see that you've come to resist me...
I'm a pitbull in time.
White Goddess, Red Goddess,
Black temptress of the sea, you treat me right.
Black Goddess, red Goddess,
White temptress of the sea, you treat me right.
Oh my love we are sailing to Norway.
Oh my love we're leaving tonight
I like The Smashing Pumpkin's lyrics for their mystical, emotions but I have to admit... Ash's are cooler.
I prefer razorblade kissQuote:

the lyrics for HIM-the funeral of hearts
Missing - Evanescence
Please, please forgive me,
But I won’t be home again.
Maybe someday you’ll have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you’ll say to no one:
Isn’t something missing?
You won’t cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?
[chorus]
Even though I’d be sacrificed,
You won’t try for me, not now.
Though I’d die to know you love me,
I’m all alone.
Isn’t someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won’t be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
Shudder deep and cry out:
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t someone missing me?
[chorus]
And if I bleed, I’ll bleed,
Knowing you don’t care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
Isn’t something missing?
Isn’t something...
[chorus]

3 doors down - Away from the Sun
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone do what I've done
I missed life
I missed the colours of the world
Can anyone go where I am
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Away from the sun again
I'm over this
I'm tired of living in the dark
Can anyone see me down here
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I've known
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again
It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't do what I've done
And now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
'Cause now again I've found myself
So far down, away from the sun
That shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines the life away from me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down, away from the sun again

Don't leave home - Dido
Like a ghost don't need a key
Your best friend I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up for me
You don't even need to speak
When I've been here for just one day
You'll already miss me if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends anymore
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
And I arrived when you were weak
I'll make you weaker, weaker still
Now all your love you give to me
When your heart is all I need
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home
Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear and everything is new
So you won't be leaving will you
Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home
If you're cold I'll keep you warm
If you're low just hold on
Cause I will be your safety
Oh don't leave home

Persephone-Wishbone Ash
There's a light that shines on Persephone,
Always a fire in her eyes,
And the last time that I went to her
I could tell things weren't right.
I just don't care to see your years go wasting,
There's no longer magic in your eyes.
In your time, you could outshine everybody else around,
But your off-stage ways might be a bore -
You take a bow, you take a fall.
I came to be here in the footlights,
To live with you through every song,
And your face displays a peaceful field.
I can't believe the curtain has to fall.
Now I know your years were never wasted,
Tonight I saw the magic in your eyes.
i love the lyrics for this song :choc:
Avril Lavigne
Nobody's home:
I couldn't tell you
Why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again
What's wrong, what's wrong now
Too many, too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs
(Chorus)
She wants to go home but nobody's home
That's where she lies broken inside
No place to go, no place to go
To dry her eyes broken inside
Open your eyes (open your eyes)
And look outside
Find the reason why (why)
You've been rejected (you've been rejected)
And now you can't find
What you left behind
Be strong, be strong now
Too many too many problems
Don't know where she belongs, where she belongs
(Repeat Chorus)
Her feeling she hides
Her dream she can't find
She's losing her mind
She's fallen behind
She can't find her place
She's losing her faith
She's fallen from grace
She's all over the place (yeah!)
(Repeat Chorus)
She's lost inside, lost inside (oh, oh uhh)
She's lost inside, lost inside (oh, oh uhh) oooh ..
Nobody's Fool:
Step up step up (step up)
Step up step up (step up)
Step up step up
Step up
Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see
I'm for real, I feel what only I can feel
and if that don't appeal to you
Let me know and I'll go cuz I flow
better when my colors show,
and that's the way it has to be.
Honestly, cuz creativity could never bloom in my room
I'd throw it all away before I lie,
So don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone I've got a backbone stronger than yours.
(step up) la la... (step up) la la... (step up) La la...
Yeah...
If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
(Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you're tryin' to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(Not nobodys fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try.
Don't know you think you know me like yourself,
But I fear that you're only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn?
Understand that I can't not be what I am.
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon.
It's not that simple here we go not so soon.
I might have fallen for that when I was fourteen
And a little more green,
but it's amazing what a couple of years could mean.
If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
(Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you're tryin' to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(Not nobodys fool) I'm not nobody's fool.
If you wanna bring me down
then go ahead and try
go ahead and try.
Oh...
Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye but you'll never see inside
Until you realize (realize)
Things are tryin' to settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you I don't need yor doubt in me
If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
(Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you're tryin' to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
(Not nobody's fool) I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
then go ahead and try...
(Go ahead and try) La la... (Go ahead and try) La la...
Yeah...Go ahead and try
You'll be laughing out loud when I'm playin' to my own crowd
Try...
Happy Ending:
Oh, oh
So much for my happy ending
oh oh
So much for my happy ending
oh oh, oh...
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
CHORUS
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of our memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
So much for my happy ending
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they
But they don't know me
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me
All thethat you do
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
CHORUS
It's nice to know that you were there
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
CHORUS X 2
So much for my happy ending
Oh, Oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh Oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Backstreet Boys:
As Long As You Love Me:
Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be
I don't care who you are(who you are)
Where you're from(where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me(I don't know)
Who you are(who you are)
Where you're from(where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin' from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby.
I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (you love me)
(repeat to fade)
who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (you love me)
Who you are(who you are)
Where you're from
what did you did
as long as you love me
who you are
where you're from(where you're from)
as lon as you love me
who you are as long
as you love me
What you did (I don't care)
as long as you love me
Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely:
Show me the meaning of being lonely
So Many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I can feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me...
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze if only...
Guilty roads to an endless love
(Endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me...
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
(Tell me why)
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
(Tell me why)
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Show me the meaning of being lonely
(Being lonely)
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why, I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Shape Of My Heart:
Hmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here, don't put out the glow
Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah.
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Sadness is beautiful, loneliness is tragical
So help me I can't win this war, oh no
Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man I've become......
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
I'm here with my confession
Got nothing to hide no more
I don't know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart
I'm lookin' back on things I've done
I never wanna play the same old part
I'll keep you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart...........
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of.......
Show you the shape of my heart
Drowning:
Don't pretend you're sorry
you know you're not
You know you got the power to make me weak inside
And girl you leave me breathless
But it's ok
Cause you are my survival
Now hear me say...
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
Chorus:
'Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Maybe I'm a drifter
maybe not
Cause I have known the safety of floating freely in your arms
I don't need another lifeline
It's not for me
Cause only you can save me
Oh, can't you see
I can't imagine life without your love
And even forever don't seem like long enough
Chorus:
Cause everytime I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
And everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in your love
Go on and pull me under
Cover me with dreams, yeah
Love me mouth to mouth now
You know I can't resist
Cause you're the air that I breathe
Chorus:
Everytime I breathe I take you in
And my heart beats again
Baby I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love
And everytime I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love
Baby I can't help it
Keep me drowning in your love
Whoa,
Got me drowning
Keep me drowning in your love
Baby I can't help it
Everytime I breathe I take you in (AJ: I do)
And my heart beats again (a.j: ohhhh)
Baby I can't help it (Brian: Baby I can't help it)
Keep me drowning in your love
Every time I try to rise above
I'm swept away by love
Baby I can't help it
You keep me drowning in.... your love
That's all i can think for now..
HIM are rubbish and you know it.
As for actual lyrics, there's quite a few. Taproot's Poem describes a problem I have quite well, and it's good for me to listen to if it crops up on me (which is does from time to time). Rage's Killing In the Name of, mainly because a lot of people don't know what that song's about until they sit down and really listen to the lyrics. Then the song seems a heck of a lot more sinister. Pearl Jam's Black - 'nuff said. And of course...
Metallica - SAD BUT TRUE!
I've got this obsession of adding "SAD BUT TRUE!" into random Metallica songs, thusforth:
"Exit light, Enter Night, Take my hand, you know it's sad but true!"
"Adrenaline starts to flow, you're thrashing all around, acting like a maniac... SAD BUT TRUE!"
"St. Anger, SAD BUT TRUE!"
Dunno about the Ash part, but props on the Pumpkin lovin there fella. I couldn't tell you what half the songs are actually about, but hey, it sounds good.Quote:

ac/dc - highway to hell
Living easy, living free
Season ticket on a one-way ride
Asking nothing, leave me be
Taking everything in my stride
Don't need reason, don't need rhyme
Ain't nothing I would rather do
Going down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too
I'm on the highway to hell
No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody's gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody's gonna mess me round
Hey Satan, payin' my dues
Playing in a rocking band
Hey Momma, look at me
I'm on my way to the promised land
I'm on the highway to hell
(Don't stop me)
And I'm going down, all the way down
I'm on the highway to hell
"Living Easy, Loving Free" are the opening lines to highway to hell i believe. :)

Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
Push me up against the wall
Young kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin’ all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl
Autumn’s sweet we call it fall
I’ll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
Scar tissue that I wish you saw
Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I’ll kiss you ’cause
With the birds I’ll share
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view
With the birds I’ll share
This lonely view...
Bon Jovi - Always
This romeo is bleeding
But you can’t see his blood
It’s nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It’s been raining since you left me
Now I’m drowning in the flood
You see I’ve always been a fighter
But without you I give up
Now I can’t sing a love song
Like the way it’s meant to be
Well, I guess I’m not that good anymore
But baby, that’s just me
And I will love you, baby - always
And I’ll be there forever and a day - always
I’ll be there till the stars don’t shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don’t rhyme
And I know when I die, you’ll be on my mind
And I’ll love you - always
Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I’d give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers try to understand
I’ve made mistakes, I’m just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you’ve been needing to hear
I’ll wish I was him ’cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time
Yeah, I will love you baby - always
And I’ll be there forever and a day - always
If you told me to cry for you
I could
If you told me to die for you
I would
Take a look at my face
There’s no price I won’t pay
To say these words to you
Well, there ain’t no luck
In these loaded dice
But baby if you give me just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We’ll find a place where the sun still shines
And I will love you, baby - always
And I’ll be there forever and a day - always
I’ll be there till the stars don’t shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don’t rhyme
And I know when I die, you’ll be on my mind
And I’ll love you - always
Nirvana - On A Plain
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream of memory restored (Alt: In a dream my memory has stored)
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
And one more special message to go
And then I'm done, then I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
Queen - Made In Heaven
I'm taking my ride with destiny
Willing to play my part
Living with painful memories
Loving with all my heart
Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be, yeah
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what they say
Can't you see
That's what everybody says to me
Can't you see
Oh I know, I know, I know that it's true
Yes it's really meant to be
Deep in my heart
I'm having to learn to pay the price
They're turning me upside down
Waiting for possibilities
Don't see too many around
Made in heaven, made in heaven
It's for all to see
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says everybody says to me
It was really meant to be
Oh can't you see
Yeah, everybody, everybody says
Yes it was meant to be
Yeah, yeah
When stormy weather comes around
It was made in heaven
When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
I wish it could last forever, yeah
Wish it could last forever, forever
I'm playing my roll in history
Looking to find my goal
Taking all this misery
But giving it all my soul
Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was meant to be
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what everybody says everybody says
Wait and see, it was really meant to be
So plain to see
Yeah, everybody, everybody, everybody tells me so
Yes it was plain to see, yes it was meant to be
Written in the stars...
Written in the stars...
My favorite line was from Toby Keith's "It works for me":
I live out on the backroads, where I walk my country mile,
An' if it's so good in the city, why don't anybody smile?
Oh, that traffic's always heavy, an' that air ain't fit to breathe.
I ain't sayin' that it's wrong for you; it just don't make sense to me...
As for songs, my favorites have always been the ones that had a good story to them...
Headed for Wyomin', in 1882.
A woman, a team, and a wagon, gonna make our dreams come true.
Settled in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountain slope;
Life was sweet, an' we lived on the meat of the deer an' the antelope.
Cut house-logs up on the mountain, and with a team we hauled 'em down.
Peeled 'em and we stacked 'em up; cleared some bottom-ground.
Traded for some cattle; turned 'em out on the open range...
Skies were blue, an' we never knew how things were gonna change.
Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide...
How many men have died along your shores?
When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side...
There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War.
Neighbors stopped by one night, while I was outside choppin' wood.
Filled me in on the local news; ain't none of it sounded good.
Said there's been some cattle-stealin' by some no-'count outlaw band,
and we've all been branded rustlers by the big ranchers of this land.
Well, it was us against the cattlemen, and the years just made it worse.
First the drought and then the tough winter; Johnson County'd been dealt a curse.
Then there came the story, 'bout the two dry-gulch attacks:
Ranger Jones and John Tillman, both shot in the back.
Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide...
How many men have died along your shores?
When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side...
There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War.
Then one night 'bout suppertime, riders stopped by chance.
Said the cattlemen and their hired guns have just burned the KC Ranch.
Two men have died this mornin', shot down in the snow,
And the vigilante army was on the march to Buffalo.
Well, the County was in an uproar, and every man saddled up to ride.
Caught the cattlemen at the TA Ranch, and surrounded all four sides.
Hailed the house with bullets; we swore they were gonna pay;
But the cavalry came across the plains, and once again they saved the day....
Well, they marched 'em off to Cheyenne; no one went to jail.
The cattlemen were all turned loose, and their hired guns hit the trail.
And I guess the only justice wasn't much, to say the least;
But last winter me an' mine ate mighty fine, on the cattle-baron's beef....
Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide...
How many men have died along your shores?
When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side...
There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War.
There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War...
"Johnson County War" by Chris LeDoux
"So you think you can tell
heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a viel?
So you think you can tell.
And did they get you trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exhange
a walk on part in the war
for the lead role in a cage?
How I wish, How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
swimming in a fish bowl
year after year.
Runnin' over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fear.
Wish you were Here."
- Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
Also happens to be my favorite song.
I don't know..... I guess, you can compare this to Rammstein.... one or two of the songs/lyrics and their darkness is enjoyable, but after an hour of this kind of music I think about committing suicide....Quote:

The subjects of Rammstein's lyrics are sometimes controversial,Quote:

so, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil,
Do you think you can tell.
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for cold breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part of the warfor a lead-role in a cage?
How i wish, How i wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year.
Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
