Favorite Song Lyrics/Poetry

[Iason Ouabache]

I've been listening to Pink Floyd too much lately.

One Slip

A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word, her honour to defend

I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I lead the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight

Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone

One slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life to a life
The one regret, you will never forget,
There'll be no sleep in here tonight

[Iason Ouabache]

Guster - The New Underground


Welcome
You're under control
And buried like a mole
A thousand feet below
Waiting
With all that we've got
Our reputation's shot
A ninety-story fall

No one here can make a sound
We're all ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

Pipe down
Stay under control
It's getting so absurd
Soon everything will turn
It's that time
To see the Sun
There'll be a crack
And a day will come
Maybe then we'll be the ones
Never can be sure
The shot heard 'round the world

No one here can make a sound
We're just ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

No one here can make a sound
We're just ghosts in this town
We are standing in the trenches
Of the new underground

All the walls are coming down
We're still hanging around
We are digging in the trenches
Of the new underground

Where Are You Tonight? (Journey Through Dark Heat)
-Bob Dylan

There's a long-distance train rolling through the rain,
tears on the letter I write.
There's a woman I long to touch and I'm missing her so much
but she's drifting like a satellite.
There's a neon light ablaze in this green smoky haze,
laughter down on Elizabeth Street
& a lonesome bell tone in that valley of stone
where she bathed in a stream of pure heat.
Her father'd emphasize you got to be more than street-wise
but he practiced what he preached from the heart.
A full-blooded Cherokee, he predicted to me
the time & the place the trouble would start.

There's a babe in the arms of a woman in a rage
& a longtime golden-haired stripper onstage
& she winds back the clock & she turns back the page
Of a book that no one can write.
Oh, where are you tonight?

The truth was obscure, too profound and too pure,
to live it you have to explode.
In that last hour of need, we entirely agreed,
sacrifice was the code of the road.
I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John,
strong men belittled by doubt.
I couldn't tell her what my private thoughts were
but she had some way of finding them out.
He took dead-center aim but he missed just the same,
she was waiting, putting flowers on the shelf.
She could feel my despair as I climbed up her hair
& discovered her invisible self.

There's a lion in the road, there's a demon escaped,
There's a million dreams gone, there's a landscape being raped,
As her beauty fades & I watch her undrape,
I won't, but then again, maybe I might.
Oh, if I could just find you tonight.

I fought with my twin,
that enemy within,
'til both of us fell by the way.
Horseplay & disease is killing me by degrees
while the law looks the other way.
Your partners in crime hit me up for nickels and dimes,
the guy you were lovin' couldn't stay clean.
It felt outta place, my foot in his face,
but he should-a stayed where his money was green.
I bit into the root of forbidden fruit
with the juice running down my leg.
Then I dealt with your boss,
who'd never known about loss
& who always was too proud to beg.

There's a white diamond gloom
on the dark side of this room
& a pathway that leads up to the stars.
If you don't believe there's a price
for this sweet paradise,
remind me to show you the scars.
There's a new day at dawn & I've finally arrived.
If I'm there in the morning, baby,
you'll know I've survived.
I can't believe it, I can't believe I'm alive,
But without you it just doesn't seem right.
Oh, where are you tonight?

Kasabian - Underdog   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niL8arinHiI


Kill me if you dare
Hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the Underdog
Live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

Love in technicolour, sprayed out on walls
Well I've been pounding at the pavement
Til there's nothing at all
I got my cloak and dagger
In a bar room brawl
See the local loves a fighter
Loves a winner to fall

Feels like I'm lost in a moment
I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin

Kill me if you dare
Hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the Underdog
Live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

It don't matter
I won't do what you say
You've got the money and the power
I won't go your way
And I can't take for the people
They don't matter at all
And I'll be waiting in the shadows
'Til the day that you fall

Feels like I'm lost in a moment
And I'm always losing to win
Can't get away from the moment
Seems like it's time to begin

Kill me if you dare
Hold my head up everywhere
Keep myself right on this train
I'm the Underdog,
Live my life on a lullaby
Keep myself riding on this train

Tell me if you're down
Throw your weapons to the ground
Keep myself riding on this train

Hey bud your on the wire
Sold yourself for another one
Keep myself riding on this train
Keep myself riding on this train

[Iason Ouabache]

I can't find any lyrics online that do this song justice because there are parts in the middle where it is impossible to understand since two people are singing different lyrics at the same time. It's annoying but cool at the same time.

Desaparecidos - Give Me the Pen

And so we dress to kid ourselves into thinking that we have nothing left
Why can't we just shut up and breathe in the moment?
Then we undress and please ourselves
At least that's what we were taught to think

Is this really worth it?

[So they crashed those planes and we all woke up from the dream
The plot twisted...can it be straightened?
well, give me the pen..
I will write the first sentence

so should we just move on or just wait for something to happen?
well then nothing happens
waiting is just fear of change
you so scared of change you can feel it
so you think you can change the way things are?]

Well, give me the pen and I'll write the first sentence
It wont be a thesis or a blank question
It will be a song and will start out with "And so we dress"

[Once the shoe has dropped it will never stop
The future has been scripted
Can it be revised?]

Give me the pen and I'll write the first sentence...

IS THIS REALLY WORTH IT?




[We're fuckin' done, Mike!!!]

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

Blind Melon- Skinned

ll make a shoehorn outta your shin
Ill make a lampshade of durable skin
And oh, dont you know that im
Always feelin able
When Im sittin home and Im carvin
Out your naval
Im just sittin here carvin out
Your navel

When will I realize that this skin
Im in
Hey, it isnt mine
And when will the kill be too much
Meat for me to hide on

Hey, I could really use a couple
Of hands
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, dont you know that Im caught
Here in the middle
Making rib cages into coffee tables
Im just makin em into coffee tables

And when will I realize that this skin
Im in
Hey, it isnt mine
And when will the thrill be too much
Meat for me to find anymore

Oh, because
You know I cant hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape Im in,
Oh yeah
And though you know I cant hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape Im in

try singing this walking somewhere busy.  Very loud and without shame...

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Sean Connery hides in a nunnery
Coating the wimples with chocolate spread

Sean Connery works in a bunnery
Dreaming of comical jobby-shaped bread

Sean Connery lives in an owlery
Under the guano somewhere is his bed

Sean Connery's life is not ordin'ry
Nobody knows what goes on in his head

Mouthful Of Shit lyrics

I can't hear you 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
Well I'm really back to basics right beside a bar
Choke the double trouble big one to the joker with card
Good call
What's the crack what's the damage done today
From teh commons to the common a banana skin away
Knock it back knock it out
Chuck a nightmare dart
Quiet
Compere on the mic turns turning to the court
Putting beef vol-au-vents across the union jack
Bolinger and bitter says the colonies are back
I can't hear you 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
You think you're god's gift
You're liar
I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire
Up yer ronson
Take a tab
With a flash of zippo light
Catch the hip parade passing the polaroids right
Check the manic little rebel with a bottle in his hand
A rhyming manifesto and a butty from his mam
Local lad made bad with cowboy charm
Claims he doesn't really mean every screw-'em-all barb
Pass the mic
Karaoke with the yesteryear stars
Time to weep into your beer til the fireworks start
I can't hear you 'cos your mouth's full of shit
Do something about it
You think you're god's gift
You're liar
I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire

[Iason Ouabache]

Going old school 80s for this one:

Tears for Fears - Everybody Wants to Rule the World

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you
Acting on your best behaviour
Turn your back on mother nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never never need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

[Iason Ouabache]

Cracker - Teen Angst

I don't know what the world may need,
But I'm sure as hell that is starts with me.
And that's a wisdom,
I've laughed at.

I don't know what the world may want,
But a good stiff drink it surely don't.
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.

Cause, what the world needs now
Is a new kind of tension.
Cause the old one just bores me to death.
Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head.

I don't know what the world may need,
But a v8 engine is a good start for me.
Think I'll drive to find a place,
To be surly.
I don't know what the world may want,
But some words of wisdom could comfort us.
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.

Cause, what the world needs now
Are some true words of wisdom
Like la la la la la
Cause, what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head.

I don't know what the world may need,
And I never grasped your complexities.
I'd be happy just to get your attention.
And, I don't know what the world may want,
But your long, sweet body lying next
To mine could certainly raise my spirits.

Cause what the world needs now
Is a new Frank Sinatra
So I can get you in bed.
Cause what the world needs now
Is another folk singer
Like I need a hole in my head.

Worship
by Kurt Vonnegut

I don't know about you,
but I practice a disorganized religion.
I belong to an unholy disorder.
We call ourselves,
"Our Lady of Perpetual Astonishment."
You may have seen us praying
for love
on sidewalks outside the better
eating establishments
in all kinds of weather.
Blow us a kiss
upon arriving or departing,
and we will climax
simultaneously.
It can be quite a scene,
especially if it is raining
cats and dogs

[Chief Uwachiquen]

Speak No Evil by The Gain

Freedom of choice to use your voice
Not something that I've ever seen enforced but,
Free to be meek but not to speak
Free to watch all of your rhetoric repeating.

Free to decide to just let things slide
I'm free to be however you want me.
Bad news today, sorry to say,
You've been declined an open mind
So you can just

Shut your mouth,
Shut it down. Has the point gotten through?
Shut your mouth, and keep it down.

When you're not here,
T'would seem so clear
Be what you like say what you like and have no fear
But like big kids at school consumed by cool;
Trained to spit on all exceptions to the rule

But now inside your mind you feel so confined
It's hard to breathe: You can't get no release.
Boxed in and left out, you wanna shout
You wanna rant, you know you can't, so you just

(Repeat Chorus)
