oh i remember that one from english lessons on highschool

it's interesting how they had to basically spell out the "meaning" of the poem in class, guess i must have learned *something* in the mean time

Yes, that's one thing that I never enjoyed in my old English classes...  "Okay, guys, let's analyze and then re-analyze this piece of work.  We will keep analyzing until we sap any sort of meaningfulness out of it that you might have seen in it, at first glance.  Once we are finished, hopefully you will simply be bored of and nauseated by the work.  In this way, you will lose all the appreciation for it that you may have once held."

The Flaming Lips - Fight Test

I thought I was smart - I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight - I thought there was a
Virtue in always being cool - so when it came time to
Fight I thought I'll just step aside and that the time would
Prove you wrong and that you would be the fool -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery

Oh to fight is to defend if it's not
Now than tell me when would be the time that you would stand up
And be a man - for to lose I could accept but to surrender
I just wept and regretted this moment - oh that I - I
Was the fool

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

Cause I'm a man not a boy and there are things
You can't avoid you have to face them when you're not prepared
To face them -
If I could I would but you're with him now it'd do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him - I let
Him take it -

I don't know where the sun beams end and the star
Lights begins it's all a mystery
And I don't know how a man decides what right for his
Own life - it's all a mystery

[Payne]

I fuckin love that song!

I will add lyrics or something here later in response, but right now I'm too fuckin shattered, been up for about 26 hours or so.

[Triple Zero]

Nothing in the world
can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;
nothing is more common than
unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent.
The slogan 'Press On' has solved
and always will solve
the problems of the human race.

and

I said to the wanting-creature inside me:
What is this river you want to cross?
There are no travelers on the river-road, and no road.
Do you see anyone moving about on that bank, or nesting?

There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman.
There is no tow rope either, and no one to pull it.
There is no ground, no sky, no time, no bank, no ford!
And there is no body, and no mind!

Do you believe there is some place that will make the
soul less thirsty?

In that great absence you will find nothing. Be strong then,
and enter into your own body;
there you have a solid place for your feet.
Think about it carefully!
Don't go off somewhere else!

Kabir says this: just throw away all thoughts of
imaginary things,

and stand firm in that which you are.

Rogue Traders - Way to Go!

Drive fast, don't crash, make your money, make it last
Hang tight, kick back, prepare yourself for the attack-
Buy low, sell high, take your pills, tell your lies
Fake your tan, wear a tie ?
Go to the gym you'll never die!


And that's the way to go!
And that's the way to go, to go!
Fake it baby - They won't even know!
You can make it
Cos everybody knows that that's the way to go


Tune in, drop out, raise your voice, never shout
Find your true love on the couch, this is what it's all about
Change your face, keep your name, keep it real don't play the game
don't you know they're all the same, don't you know they're all the same?

And that's the way to go!
And that's the way to go, to go!
Fake it baby - They won't even know!
You can make it
Cos everybody knows that that's the way to go


Dig deep, fly low, celebrate a tv show
Raise the stakes, drop the pressure, happiness you'll never measure
Bite your tongue, pay the man, time to start your five year plan
Holiday in Vietnam, then blow a kiss to Uncle Sam.


And that's the way to go!
And that's the way to go, to go!
Fake it baby - They won't even know!
You can make it
Cos everybody knows that that's the way to go

And My Fury Stands Ready

Come from where hide.
(So I may) unchain my tempest.
None will stop my tide.
(And you will) tremble at my unrest.


Find you I will.
(And take you) up into your Heaven.
Commeth soon the kill.
(For I have taken) kings and feeble men.


And my fury stands ready.
I bring all your plans to nought.
My bleak heart beats steady.
`Tis you whom I have sought.
Feasting myself sick,
on your pathetic sins.
Wounds for me to lick.
The work of slaughter begins.


In my face see your killer.
You can wish me away.
In your face I still see her.
No more shall you betray.
In her face (she) saw her killer.
Thou shalt not pray.

[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.



Lyrics:

One of these days Mr. Opportunity gonna be knocking on my door
One of these days I'll read the writing on the wall
One of these days I'll be a spectator in an audience of whores
One of these days I'm gonna run until I fall
One of these days I'll win the lottery and wake up a millionaire
One of these days I'm gonna get myself a job
One of these days They're gonna stop the world and I won't even care
One of these days I'm gonna finally believe in God
One of these days I'm gonna grow up to become the President
One of these days I'll find the woman of my dreams
One of these days I'm gonna find these truths to be self evident
One of these days I'll blow my brains out on T.V.

One of these days
One of these days

One of these days I'm gonna get in shape, become an astronaut
One of these days My fears are gonna fall down the stairs
One of these days I'll sell my soul and let them find out what they bought
One of these days I'm gonna shave off all my hair
One of these days I'm gonna learn to play and write myself a song
One of these days I'll take my conscience out to lunch
One of these days I'm gonna buy the plans and build the atom bomb
One of these days I'll have the guts to play my hunch

One of these days
One of these days
Any day now
Any day now

Also, the song is in 7/4.

I'm in love.

[Payne]

she's a painting outta focus, with no good sense of intention, she's authentic.
she's a model of disaster, with a heart of revolution.
she's so innocent, but guilty's her plea.
everybody wants to save her, from herself, they really want to save themselves.

she's got the grace of a tourist, with the charm of demolition.
she's a poem without a meter or rhyme a random design of a flower.
like a rose, no one really knows.
she's a master piece deserving, restoration or condemnation, time will tell us.
if she's a lifer, or a decom-posuer, she is rose no one really knows.

Weird Al - Confessions Part III


Watch this

These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I could say I came up with more secrets to tell you today
These are my confessions
Slip my mind the last two times
Silly me, so now I gotta give you part three of my confessions
First I told you about the skank that I was cheating with,then I mentioned she's having my kid
That's not all, now I recall more you see, so I'll give you part three of my confessions

Now this is gonna be the hardest thing I think I ever had to do,
Gonna tell you everything I left out of parts one and two
Like remember when I told you I knew Paulie Shore (Paulie Shore)
That's a lie, I don't know what I said that for
I borrowed your chapstick (from you)without asking
Oh I tried out your nose hair trimmer (too)
And by the way your diamond ring is cubic zirconium,
I killed your goldfish accidently, just replaced it with another one

These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I could say I needed to get some things off my chest right away
These are my confessions
Slipped my mind the last two times, silly me, I guess I gotta give you part three of my confessions
I threw up on your dog last time I had too much to drink
There have been times when I've peed in your sink
Don't know why, but you and I should agree that belongs in part three of my confessions

Baby forgive me I'm still trying to figure out why I used your toothbrush to clean off the bathroom grought
Oh and sometimes in private, I really like to dress up as Shirley Temple and spank myself with a hockey stick (hockey stick)
My boss thinks I'm a jerk, I didn't get that raise.
I haven't changed my underwear in twenty-seven days!
And when I'm kissing you I fantasize you as a midget
I'm so sorry Debbie! I mean Bridget!

These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I could say I got a few more secrets I'd like to convey
These are my confessions
Slipped my mind the last two times, silly me, I guess I gotta give you part three of my confessions
Gave you buttered toast I dropped and picked up off the floor
FYI it was not a cold sore
Ooops my bad, but you'll be madder at me when I finish part three of my confessions

You don't know how hard it is for me to tell you this, but remember that shirt that you got me for my birthday?
Well, I returned it for store credit. That thing was hideous, what were you thinking?
Oh and by the way, I wasn't really sick last week,
I just didn't wanna go to your stupid office picnic
Oh and when I told you at breakfast we were all out of rice krispies,
What I meant was that there was only enough left for me. Sorry.

These are my confessions
Just when I thought I said all I could say, I thought of some more things that should scare you away
These are my confessions
Slipped my mind the last two times, silly me, I guess I gotta give you part three of my confessions
Once I blew my nose and wiped it on your cat
And I lied, yes that dress makes you look fat
Anyway, I shouldn't say anymore 'til I give you part four of my confessions

I mean I'm just getting started here
I'm not even half way down the list
I mean this thing could go on for....(footsteps)
Hey, hey where are you going?
Honey? what? Was it something I said?(door opens and slams close)
(Sigh) Women

[LMNO]

Well, I have that Cop Shoot Cop song, but Rapidshare doesn't want to play with me.

Any suggestions?
