The Old Revolution - Cohen

I finally broke into the prison,
I found my place in the chain.
Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows,
all the brave young men
they're waiting now to see a signal
which some killer will be lighting for pay.
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

I fought in the old revolution
on the side of the ghost and the King.
Of course I was very young
and I thought that we were winning;
I can't pretend I still feel very much like singing
as they carry the bodies away.
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

Lately you've started to stutter
as though you had nothing to say.
To all of my architects let me be traitor.
Now let me say I myself gave the order
to sleep and to search and to destroy.
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

Yes, you who are broken by power,
you who are absent all day,
you who are kings for the sake of your children's story,
the hand of your beggar is burdened down with money,
the hand of your lover is clay.
Into this furnace I ask you now to venture,
you whom I cannot betray.

[Payne]

A song Bill Bailey sang in his stand-up tour, Part Troll. It's a comment on the current American rock scene, and emo kids.

You picked me up from school,
You attended all my sporting functions,
You gave me a car,
Gave me use of a credit card,
But HOW CAN I FEEL PAIN?
HOW CAN I FEEL PAIN?
HOW CAN I FEEL PAIN?
When you're being so supportive...

Daft Punk- Harder Better Faster Stronger.

Poem- The Jabberwocky.

Ozzie Osbourne- No More Tears;

Your mother always said you shouldn't talk to strangers
Look in the mirror, tell me, do you feel your life's in danger?

[Lies]

I love this song because the lyrics seem very "in the spirit" of disco.

Atari Teenage Riot- Destroy 2000 years olf culture.

Its a dead world...
And its about that time to clear things here!
One generation follows another...
But something in my head says:
Keep going! dont give up!

Cold sweat - running down my back!
I dont fear the chaos!
A reason to fight is not making a stronger man
Cause they dont understand!
I wont calm down! I wont calm down!
What am I supposed to do?
Its hard to realize that the time is running out!
Pow! were on the move! resist worldwide!
Cause it takes two...
Your money is full of blood and I know this for sure -
Were gonna take over!
Radical! terrorize! and Im not gonna tell you lies!
Our chances are low - too many problems we got!
Fuck the police! blow them out!

Destroy 2000 years of culture! destroy 2000 years of culture! (x4)
(move! we gotta move! move! we gotta move!) (x 3)

Move! I shout it out loud!
Were radical and were proud of it...
Change the things - together we stand and load the gun and make em swing!
Love is a wonderful thing - a secret - a game
And I sing the song of freedom to hate!
Try to think international!

Destroy 2000 years of culture! destroy 2000 years of culture!
Destroy!
Destroy 2000 years of culture! destroy! destroy! (x3)
Destroy 200 years of culture! (x3)
(move! we gotta move! move! we gotta move!) (x2)
Destroy 2000 years

Your freedom to speak is a freedom to lie
Whatever it takes to change .. Im up for it!
Theres no place where noone gets hurt...
A place where I can be on my own!
You should feel guilty if youre just watching!
Theres this pain and a constant sound in my head...
They always try and get you back to what they define as reality!
Theres nothing to lose but watch your back!
Its cold out here... (dont wait too long!)

Destroy 2000 years of culture! destroy! destroy! (x6)
(move! we gotta move! move! we gotta move!) (x4)
Destroy 2000 years of culture! destroy 2000 years of culture!

[St John the Blasphemist]

Can't remember the name of the song or the band. Heard it on the radio one day. But the theme to it went along the lines of "One of these days I'm gonna..."

One of the lines caught my attention:

"One of these days I'm gonna sell my soul and then they'll realise what they've bought."

Anyone recognise it?

Cop Shoot Cop, from the album Release, interscope records, 1995.

One of my favorite bands, one of my favorite albums, one of my favorite songs.

Singer/bassist Tod A then went on to form Firewater, another one of my favorite bands.
[...]
Also, the song is in 7/4.

Ahh, many thanks. Please excuse the lateness of this response.

If I could, I would make it required listening.

I would call you a beautiful human being, but you've transcended both humanity and beauty.

BTW: It sounds more 7/16 than 7/4 (the lower number denotes the dominant note length, which to me sounds like a semi-quaver (16th note))

Thanks again

You can count it either way, it's just a slower count if you do it in 4.

If you could blow up the world with the flick of a switch
Would you do it?
If you could make everyobody poor just so you could be rich
Would you do it?
If you could watch everybody work while you just lay on your back
Would you do it?
If you could take all the love without giving any back
Would you do it?
And so we cannot know ourselves or what we'd really do...

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power
What would you do?

If you could make your own money and then give it to everybody
Would you do it?
If you knew all the answers and could give it to the masses
Would you do it?
No no no no no no are you crazy?
It's a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want
Because you cannot know yourself or what you'd really do

With all your power
With all your power
With all your power

[Messier Undertree]

Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution

I'm ahead, I'm a man
I'm the first mammal to wear pants, yeah
I'm at peace with my lust
I can kill 'cause in God I trust, yeah
It's evolution, baby

I'm at peace, I'm the man
Buying stocks on the day of the crash
On the loose, I'm a truck
All the rolling hills, I'll flatten 'em out, yeah
It's herd behavior, uh huh
It's evolution, baby

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, he's my clone
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This land is mine, this land is free
I'll do what I want but irresponsibly
It's evolution, baby

I'm a thief, I'm a liar
There's my church, I sing in the choir:
(hallelujah, hallelujah)

Admire me, admire my home
Admire my son, admire my clones
'Cause we know, appetite for a nightly feast
Those ignorant Indians got nothin' on me
Nothin', why?
Because... it's evolution, baby!

I am ahead, I am advanced
I am the first mammal to make plans, yeah
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher
2010, watch it go to fire
It's evolution, baby
It's evolution, baby
Let's do the evolution
Come on, come on, come on

[Cain]

Good shit, that song.  Never heard it before Rog posted the video here, but definitely now a favourite of mine.

[Ambassador KAOS]

Hold on to your everybody
The people that you know are the ones you hate, the ones you hate
Break me you covetous creature
Then piece me back together like a star

Come on now, come on now
The bigger that you get the more you wait
Show me how, show me how
The less you know the better off you are

Covet, love it, learn to break
Want this my love your mistake

Show me you treacherous teacher
You own everything in your sight in your sight now
Possess that special feature
That everything you say and do is right

Come on now, come on now
and everyone does just what you say
Teach me how, teach me how
To get everyone the fuck out of your way

Covet, love it, learn to break
Want this my love your mistake

Covet, love it, learn to break
Want this my love your mistake

I learned just how to beat you
Cause everything you say just disappears
So glad I got to meet you
I covet everything you ever feared

Hold on now, hold on now
You taught me how to hate and how to hurt
Show me how, show me how
To spit in their faces with your dick in the dirt dear

Covet, love it, learn to rape
Want this my love your mistake

Covet: Jack Off Jill

The song itself leaves something to b desired but the lyrics make me poo =)
