if my words did glow
with the gold of sunshine
and my tunes were played
on the harp unstrung
would u hear my voice
come thru the music
would you hold it near
as it were ur own

its a hand me down
the thoughts r broken
perhaps they re better
left unsung
i dont know
dont really care
let there be songs
2 fill the air

ripple in still water
when there is no pebble tossed
no wind 2 blow

reach out ur hand
if ur cup be empty
if ur cup is full
may it be again
let it be known
there is a fountain
that was not made
by the hands of man

there is a road
no simple hiway
between the dawn
and the dark of night
and if u go
no 1 may follow
that path is 4
ur steps alone

ripple in still water
when there is no pebble tossed
no wind 2 blow

u can choose
2 lead must follow
but if
u fall
u fall alone
if u should stand
then whos 2 guide u
if i knew the way
i would take u home

la da da da..la da da da da da..la da da da..la da..la da da da da da da
la da da da..la da da da da da..la da da da..la da da da da

Eagles - Hole in the World

There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind,
but all this fighting over who will be anointed.
Oh how can people be so blind

[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder,
cool water running through the burning sand,
until we we learn to love one
another we never reach the promise land.

[Chorus:]
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a Cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

[Repeat chorus: (no music)]

[Repeat chorus: 4x's (fade out)]

everything is bleak
its the middle of the nite
ur all alone
and the dummies might be right
u feel like a jerk
my music @ work
my music @ work

avoid trends and cliches
dont try 2 be up 2 date
and when the sun hits the olive oil
dont hesitate
the nights so long it hurts
my music @ work

in a symbol 2 far
or an antomy of a stain
2 determine where u are
in a sink full of ganges
i d remain
no matter what u heard
my music @ work
my music @ work
my music @ work

i call it
Olga waits
the cloud that entertains
the dim possibilty of showing some restraint
the rain came down berserk
my music @ work
my music @ work

on a star beyond the chart
or a dark side of a drop of rain
determining where u are
in a sink full of Ganges
i remain
no matter what u heard
my music @ work
my music @ work
my music @ work

la la la la .......

everything is bleak
its the middle of the night
ur all alone
and the dummies might be right
outside the darkness lurks
my music @ work
my music @ work

hey fallen hummingbird
my music @ work
from the middle of the earth
my music @ work
bound 4 bed without dessert
my music @ work
my music @ work
my music @ work

my music @ work-tragically hip

Joy Division- Transmission


Radio, live transmission.
Radio, live transmission.

Listen to the silence, let it ring on.
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun.
We would have a fine time living in the night,
Left to blind destruction,
Waiting for our sight.

And we would go on as though nothing was wrong.
And hide from these days we remained all alone.
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time.
Touching from a distance,
Further all the time.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio...

Well I could call out when the going gets tough.
The things that we've learnt are no longer enough.
No language, just sound, that's all we need know,
To synchronise love to the beat of the show.

And we could dance.

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio...

Bradley Hathaway - The Annoying Hardcore Dude That Goes Too Far

I am hardcore. I will windmill kick you in the face. Everybody back up, make a circle, let’s destroy this place. The lights are low and I’m about to go off. Here comes the break down, ka-ra-te chop! Raise up your arms, make an X if you’re down. Me and my crew, we own this stinkin’ town. Watch out for my fist, your face it will kiss on purpose. I’m tough and I’m ticked.

I don’t slow dance, I don’t salsa dance, forget the tango. I don’t slam dance you idiot, I dance hardcore. On the floor, I’m the man you’ve never seen before. When the drummer yells, “go!” it’s my time to blow.

And in between songs. I yell at the band, cause I don’t care what they have to say. I’m not here to learn anything anyway. I’m here to dance. In the zone, in a trance.

I don’t smoke cigarettes, but if she’s willing I’ll drop my pants. Promiscuous I am, but I’m vegan, I don’t eat ham or any of that stuff cause it’s bad for you, right? Save the animals, forget the sweatshop scandals!

I do not shop at hot topic. I am not Mall Core, I am hardcore. Madball, Hatebreed, Throwdown, Terror. I own all their records on colored vinyl, limited edition and hand numbered. But you won’t see me asking for no autograph. I ain’t lookin’ like no fool. I ain’t no pop culture tool.

If they ain’t screamin’, I ain’t listenin’. If they ain’t got a blast beat, I ain’t tappin’ my feet. I eat emo pansies for breakfast, and give their little t-shirts to my little sister. So cry about it you messenger bag, purse carrying whatever.

I wear girl pants, but I’m homophobic. Yet the way I’m always huggin’ on my homeboys you sure wouldn’t know it. I’ve had my ears stretched an inch since back in ’96. Somebody told me hardcore was a place to share what you believe, but I didn’t like what dude said, so I flipped him off and told him to leave.

I’m mad at society because my parents won’t buy me a new computer, even though I asked politely. My playstation 2 is broken, but my Xbox works. When that breaks though, something will hit the fan and I’ll express myself with rage and anger, just like a man. Cause that’s how it’s done, right? You get mad and start a fight, right? I think I may, I think I might, take my insecurities out on that punk in the pit tonight.

Cause really, I am just insecure. More than that, I’m kinda scared and hurting inside. And I don’t know how to deal with it. I don’t know what being a man means. I thought acting tough was the way to go.

But now that I think about it… I’m emo.

Dead Leaves And The Dirty Ground- White Stripes

Dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you're not around
shiny tops and soda pops
when I hear your lips make a sound
when I hear your lips make a sound

Thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell you that I'm coming home
and I think I'm gonna stick around
for a while so you're not alone
for a while so you're not alone

If you can hear a piano fall
you can hear me coming down the hall
if I could just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I need to see at all
I don't think I need to see at all

Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I want to give you what you give to me
and every breath that is in your lungs
is a tiny little gift to me
is a tiny little gift to me

I didn't feel so bad till the sun went down
then I come home
no one to wrap my arms around

Well any man with a microphone
can tell you what he loves the most
and you know why you love at all
if you're thinking of the holy ghost
if you're thinking of the holy ghost

New Year's Project - Further Seems Forever

Your hands didnt move
Well neither did mine
New Year's will bring
So much to say
But nothing comes out right
Both of us left without words
Both of us lost in this world
It's softer than ever before

And you were the outline
Af everything you would become.
The keeper of these hands
To hold you now
It is a far cry more than anything that I deserve

I'm waiting to give you whatever the world may bring
I'd give you my life
'Cause I don't own anything.
It seemed like the bottom was all that I had until now
I'd give you my life
If you'd give me yours somehow.

Your hands didn't move
Well neither did mine
New Year's will bring me to you
I'm waiting to give you whatever the world may bring
I'd give you my life
'Cause I don't own anything.
It seemed like the bottle was all that I had until now
I'd give you my life
If you'd give me yours somehow.

Sting- Island of souls

Billy was born within sight of the shipyard
First son of a riveter's son
And Billy was raised as the ship grew a shadow
Her great hull would blot out the light of the sun

And six days a week he would watch his poor father
A working man live like a slave
He'd drink every night and he'd dream of a future,
Of money he never would save
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future

Soon came a day when the bottle was broken
They launched a great ship out to sea
He felt he'd been left on a desolate shore
To a future he desperately wanted to flee
What else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done

One day he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they would never be found
To a place far away from this town.

Trapped in the cage of the skeleton ship
All the workmen suspended like flies
Caught in the flare of acetylene light
A working man works till the industry dies
And Billy would cry when he thought of the future

Then what they call an industrial accident
Crushed those it couldn't forgive
They brought Billy's father back home in an ambulance
A brass watch, a cheque, maybe three weeks to live,
And what else was there for a riveter's son
A new ship to be built, new work to be done

That night, he dreamed of the ship in the world
It would carry his father and he
To a place they could never be found
To a place far away from this town,
A Newcastle ship without coals
They would sail to the island of souls.

 

[GuitarChick13]

Here it is, we started out friends. It was cool, it was all pretend. Yeah, yeah. Since you been gone. You dedicated, ya took the time. Wasn't long 'til I called you mine. Yeah, yeah. Since you been gone. And all you'd ever hear me say. Was how I pictured me with you. That's all you'd ever hear me say.

Chorus - SINCE YOU BEEN GONE! I can breathe for the first time. I'm so movin' on. Away yeah. Thanks to you, now I get. What I want. Since you been gone.

Ya dedicated, ya took the time. Wasn't long 'til I called you mine. Yeah, yeah. Since you been gone. How come I'd never hear you say, Its hard not to be with you. I guess you never felt that way.

CHORUS

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE YA BLEW IT. OUTTA SIGHT, OUTTA MIND. SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT. AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN!!!

CHORUS 2x

Untitled - AFI


We held hands on the last night on earth
Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees,
Screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves
It was empty on the edge of town
But we knew everyone floated
Along the bottom of the river.
So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea
And the shattered seasons lay,
And the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease
In our cancer of passion you said,
"Death is a midnight runner."
The sky had come crashing down
Like the news of an intimate suicide
We picked up the shards and formed them into
Shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress
The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn
As the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop
The few insects skittered away in hopes
Of a better past time
I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked
If you would accompany me in a quick fall,
But you made realize that my ticket wasn't good for two
I rode alone
You said, "The cinders are falling like snow."
There is poetry in despair,
And we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence
Of blue and grey.
Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved
Our names in the flesh of the city
The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon
And the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines
Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward,
And somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation
Scratched into the earth like a message

TOO UGLY TO SELL OUT (by Suburban Panic)

I want to be on MTV.
Teenage girls in love with me.
But this dream can never be,
Just because I was born ugly.

I dream of being a pop star.
Expensive mansions and sports cars.
Go to where rich people are.
But with my looks I can’t go far.

They say I’m too ugly to sell out.
They say they can never market me.
So I guess I’m too ugly to sell out.
You’ll never see me on the TV.

We’re uglier than KISS and the Ramones.
We’re uglier than the guy from the Rolling Stones.
Pretty girls don’t come to our shows.
We’re too ugly to sell out.
Go!

We’re not sexy and we’re not hot.
We’ll never be on the charts.
Bound to fail, like it or not.
Never stolen anyone’s heart.

Day after day, I'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that I hate to loose
And I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

Beginnin' to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now I'm countin' on you
To carry me through

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Yea, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through
To soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along
Makin' me strong

Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

Oh-ho, ah-no
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n roll
And drift away

No One Really Wins This Time - Copeland

Welcome love
I have made a place for you here
And I know every word they say
I don't want it want to make you change

Change if you want
But don't you go and change for me
I can love you as you are
I didn't mean to make you want to leave

In the fight between my heart and mind
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time

If you don't find a love you want
If I have acted ungracefully
I don't want to see you go
I never meant to make you want to leave

Go if you want
Make your way straight to the door
I hope that you will look back before you go
'Cause grace always looks back before it starts to leave

In the fight between my heart and mind
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time

Change if you want
But don't you go and change for me
I will love you as you are
I didn't mean to make you want to leave

It's a fight between my heart and mind
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time

Bell Bottom Blues - Eric Clapton (Derek & the Dominos)

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry.
I don't want to lose this feeling.
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms. Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay. It's all wrong, but it's all right.
The way that you treat me baby.
Once I was strong but I lost the fight.
You won't find a better loser.

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.

Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye.
I'm sure we're gonna meet again,
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover.

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
I'd gladly do it because
I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day, please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I want to stay.

I don't want to fade away.
Give me one more day please.
I don't want to fade away.
In your heart I long to stay.

THE WAY IT IS (by Suburban Panic)



Bombs are falling in foreign lands.
People are dying by their brother’s hand.
There’s just one thing you don’t understand.
This shouldn’t be the way it is.


Can’t change the world why waste time?
Don’t make an effort, don’t bother to try.
What happens when someone you know dies?
Will you still say that’s the way it is?


Agnostic nihilism, apathy.
No one gives a **** anymore.
Easier to just sit back.
Watching for the apocalypse.

Hobo on the street with a vacant stare.
People starving, you pretend they're not there.
You’ve got no worries, you’re unaware.
You just think that’s the way it is.

You don’t help the poor, you scorn charity.
Say it’s your fault, you have no sympathy.
Don’t be so blind, open your eyes and see.
This doesn’t have to be the way it is.


Heartless cynicism, apathy.
No one’s got a conscience anymore.
Easier to not get involved.
Stumbling towards the end of the world.

She's Lost Control -Joy Division





Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She’s lost control.
And she’s clinging to the nearest passer by,
She’s lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I’ve lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I’ve lost control again.

And she turned around and took me by the hand and said,
I’ve lost control again.
And how I’ll never know just why or understand,
She said I’ve lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,
I’ve lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she’d die.
She said I’ve lost control.
She’s lost control again.
She’s lost control.
She’s lost control again.
She’s lost control.

Well I had to ’phone her friend to state my case,
And say she’s lost control again.
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
And said I’ve lost control again.
But she expressed herself in many different ways,
Until she lost control again.
And walked upon the edge of no escape,
And laughed I’ve lost control.
She’s lost control again.
She’s lost control.
She’s lost control again.
She’s lost control.

I could live a little better with the myths and the lies,
When the darkness broke in, I just broke down and cried.
I could live a little in a wider line,
When the change is gone, when the urge is gone,
To lose control. when here we come.

QUESTIONS

Who's the man with the potion
dressed in velvet and gloves
causing grief and commotion
talking 'bout love ?
What on earth is he thinking ?
Where on earth has he been ?
Why do I feel like I'm sinking ?
What does it mean ?

Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
and should this ground start to crumble
we'll come to no harm

I once had a coat I was proud of
I wore that coat a long time
Just when the music got loudest
I left it behind
I could pretend that I'm dreaming
but one thing I just can't see
Who on earth am I meaning
when I say me ?

Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
and should this ground start to crumble
we'll come to no harm

What's around the corner ?
What's around the bend ?
What's around the corner ?
What's around the bend ?

Questions upon question upon questions
crowding round the side of my bed
Here are just a few of the best ones
adrift in my head
Who's driving this airplane ?
Did I live hard enough ?
Is it gonna rain
and how well have I loved ?
How well have I loved ?

Let's walk through the jungle
Put your arm in my arm
and should this ground start to crumble
we'll come to no harm
Lean on me if you stumble
'neath the bright shining stars
and though the whole world may crumble
we know who we are
we know who we are

Am I more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you anything you want to hear
Cause that's just who I am this week

Lie in the grass, next to the mausoleum
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(A notch in your bedpost,
but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in,
and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down
in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] it and pull it

We're going down, down
in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] it and pull it

Is this more than you bargained for yet?
Oh don't mind me I'm watching you two from the closet
Wishing to be the friction in your jeans

Isn't it messed up
how I'm just dying to be him?
I'm just a notch in your bedpost
But you're just a line in a song
(Notch in your bedpost,
but you're just a line in a song)

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in,
and sleeping for the wrong team

We're going down, down
in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] it and pull it

Down, down
in an earlier round
And Sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll be your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] it and pull it

Passenger Seat - Death Cab For Cutie

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in the darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat
As you are driving me home

Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try to tell the difference
Between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat
As you are driving me home.

"Do they collide?"
I ask and you smile
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter

When you feel embarrassed, then I'll be your pride
When you need directions, then I'll be the guide
For all time
For all time
