The Lost Lyrics Thread

[rubah]

This thread is devoted to songs whose lyrics are in danger of disappearing from the world. Perhaps with our combined efforts, we can save the musical synapse fires of our generation.

<h2>The Lawnchairs</h2> - Moth and Other Tales - <h3>Moth</h3>

behind me in the mirror
i saw the most fantastic explosion
a momentary being constructed from the light
and changing with my movements side to side
this imaginary creature made a flutter and a snap
the crinkle of the plastic it passed by

i widened my eyes and gasped in my temporary surprise
and tiptoed safely to the side
only to discover a disguise
only to discover a disguise

the flapping wings and the ultra-white shine
were not alive
were not alive
were not alive

the photo was a flicker, a chemical release
or neurons fired in my mind
it was not the biggest moth that i ever had seen
but rather a trick
the mirror played on my eye

all things
are somatic
all things
are automatic

like blemishes on the moon
like exit signs in darkened rooms
like cancer paths in quiet tombs
and sad songs with happy tunes

part of a supernova
one hundred floors below us
made up and then covered up.

<h2>Jupiter Sunrise</h2> - Purple Demo - <h3>Heaven and Endless Part II</h3>

On a hillside blessed by songs of hope
and a fire that bleached our souls
on a day that changed our reality
on a day just like today

We stole an hour for food and drink
reminisced about the past
took comfort knowing nothing
in this world will ever last

and I tried to forget that night and your body
but you drew it out of me
and I tried to deny the light in our bodies
but you drew it out of me
what ever happened to us

to us, to the lightening that brings solace to son
may you have your little peace
may your war bring just release
in this way every story goes

mother, if you told me
if you told me I could have saved us
I could have saved us if I'd known
I'll grace our sacrifice with song

and I tried to forget that night and your body
but you drew it out of me
and I tried to deny the light in our bodies
but you drew it out of me
what ever happened to us!

too late for plans and unsettled regrets
shadows are friends if you find one
no, there's no art in this experience
but Beauty is raining kills down from above

we all worship violence and the silence that follows
brings defect and conflicts of spirit
oh my god I am dead in the arms of a mother
who is justice without love

and I tried to forget that night
and I tried to forget that night
and I tried to forget that night

<h2>Beacon Street Union </h2> - Eyes of the Beacon Street Union (1968) -<h3>South End Incident</h3>

Tonight as I walk with the rain on my face
I wish I could find some place, someplace to hide.
I am dying inside; when they find me what will they do?

Paper faces, painted masks, plastic hands are tearing... at my skin.
I won't let them get in. Are they waiting in the night?

I'm afraid!
(We are walking behind you)
I'm afraid!
(We'll not stop 'til we find you)
I'm afraid!

I saw them in the alleyway.
I saw the pretty polished steel laughing at her throat.
There was nothing I could do. Did they see me run away?

Tomorrow, tomorrow, please come.
The ice of fear is melted by the sun.
Who's that standing by the door?
Is it me they're waiting for?

I'm afraid!
(We are walking behind you)
I'm afraid!
(We'll not stop 'til we find you)
I'm afraid!

Eyes in every lamppost
Arms in every tree.
Hideous voices gasping in the dark.
Why don't you take me now?
It's too late for me to scream.

Icy breath against my neck
Heart is pounding, bursting, in my chest.
You are vicious in your game.
I will hate you 'til the end!

I'm afraid!
(We are walking behind you)
I'm afraid!
(We'll not stop 'til we find you)
I'm afraid!

This is the only typically psychedelic '60s song with electronic organs I know that's about abject Lovecraftian horror.

Messy Moe
by Sardina

And if you're lost and treated
Unkindly
You might put your words in defenses
And if your crime is
Unjustly
You might be everyone's hope.

Floating in a sea of buoys
All of them are painted like rainbows
The lights on top are the mirrors
[Of no walls]

And to the wise asking
WHY ARE YOU ANGRY
Don't you know people are
Beautiful
Challenge them look, say,
"I agree"
But in my book
People are
Angry when they're young.
When they're young.

Are fighting to keep from falling
Into a river that's rowing
Constantly daydreaming
Forever not knowing


Messy Moe
My Moe
My Moe
My Moe
Messy Moe
My Moe

Messy Moe

Feel Me In Your Bone
By Kosaka Yumiko

This song uses the same music as another song by the artist used as the op for the anime Tekkaman Blade, so, that's the only damned one you find lyrics for online. I had to transcribe these from hard baked subs on a niconico upload

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

anata ni tsutsumarete iru
atadaka sukite I’m crying
Nando mo kasa neta kuchibiru
Tsumitsukurina iro ni somatte ku
Oh yeah, oh no

Daka reru dake ga
Aida to omotte ita
Furi mukeba
Machi gai darake

Nareai de sugotrouta
Futari no toki
Demo kon'ya kara wa chigau no

Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone

Hageshiku moeta
ai ni toki wa nagarete
Miushinatta koto mo kitto aru
Fukai basho de
Watashi o kanjite mite

Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone

Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone


Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone

Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone






あなたに包まれて眼る
暖かすぎ I'm crying
何度も重ねた唇罪作りな色に染まってく
Oh yeah, oh no

抱かれるだけが
愛だと思っていた
振り向けば
間違いだらけ
馴れ合いで過ごした
2人の時間
でも今夜からは違うの
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone

激しく燃えた
愛に時間は流れて
見失った事もきっとある
だけど今夜別の
深い場所で
私を 感じてみて


Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone

Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone


Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone

Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
Ohhhh, Feel me in your bone
