Let's share some lyrics?

Well, well, well this is one of my favourite lyrics. Can't listen to this song without feeling a lump in my throat.

King Of Pain - The Police

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today

(That's my soul up there)

It's the same old thing as yesterday

(That's my soul up there)

There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

(That's my soul up there)

There's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall

(That's my soul up there)

There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall

(That's my soul up there)

There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb

(That's my soul up there)

There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out

There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt

There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed

There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

King of pain

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack

(That's my soul up there)

There's a black-winged gull with a broken back

(That's my soul up there)

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before in the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I always thought you could end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain

King of pain

King of pain

I'll always be king of pain

Very well. My pre-workout song. I usually start my day with it.

Bleed - Meshuggah

Beams of fire sweep through my head
Thrusts of pain increasingly engaged
Sensory receptors succumb
I am no one now only agony

My crimson liquid so frantically spilled
- the ruby fluid of life unleashed

Ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes
Their red pens drawing at random, at will
A myriad pains begotten in their wake
- the bastard spawn of a mutinous self

The regurgitation of my micro nemesis
- salivating red at the prospect of my ruin, my doom

Malfunction the means for its ascent
Bloodletting the stringent voice to beckon my soul
So futile any resisting tension
As death-induced mechanics propel its growth

The implement, the device of my extinction
- the terminating clockwork of my gleeful bane
The definitive scourge of its mockery
- the end-art instruments lethality attained

Heed - it commands, heed my will
Bleed - it says, bleed you will

Falling into the clarity of undoing
Scornful gods haggle for my soul
Minds eye flickers and vellicates as I let go
Taunting whispers accompany my deletion

A sneering grin, the voice of my reaper
- chanting softly the song of depletion

"Holding Back The Years"
By Simply Red

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I've known
Holding back the tears
Cause nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
So tight

I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
Cause nothing ever could oh yeah

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
Holding, holding, holding

That's all I have today
It's all I have to say

This is a song Tara showed me :) It's about being courageous enough not to suicide.

THE GREAT ESCAPE (by Pink)

I can understand how the edges are rough
And they cut you like the tiny slithers of glass
And you feel too much
And you don't know how long you're gonna last,

But everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,
Find a way to make the hurt go away,
But everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,
Like you're trying to scream underwater,
But, I won't let you make the great escape,
I'm never gonna watch you checkin out of this place
I'm not gonna lose you
Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
Gonna keep you alive someday

I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face
And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing
And you retreat to your silent corner
Like you decided the fight was over for ya,

Everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,
Find a way to make the hurt go away,
Everyone you know, is tryin'a smooth it over,
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through
I won't let you make the great escape,
I'm never gonna watch you checkin outta this place
I'm not gonna lose you
Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep you alive someday
They're gonna keep you alive someday

Oh, Terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me
And I don't need a pill to make me numb
And I wrote the book on runnin',
But that chapter of my life will soon be done

I'm the king of the great escape
You're not gonna watch me checkin outta this place
You're not gonna lose me
Cause the passion and pain
Are gonna keep us alive, someday
Yeah the passion and the pain
Are gonna keep us alive someday, someday

Another one that I love.

King Of Sorrow - Sade

Im crying everyones tears
And there inside our private
war I died the night before
And all of these remnants
of joy and disaster
What am I supposed to do
I want to cook you a soup that
warms your soul
But nothing would change
nothing would change at all
Its just a day that brings
it all about
Just another day
And nothings any good

The DJ's playing the
same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder if this grief will
ever let me go
I feel like
I am the king
of sorrow
The king of sorrow

I suppose I could just walk away
Will I dissapoint my future
if I stay
Its just a day that brings
it all about
Just another day
And nothings any good

The DJ's playing the
same song
I have so much to do
I have to carry on
I wonder will this grief
ever be gone
Will it ever go
Im the king
of sorrow
The king of sorrow

Im crying everyones tears
I have already paid for all
my future sins
Theres nothing anyone
can say to take this away
Its just another day
And nothings any good

Im the king
of sorrow
King of sorrow

Great contributions guys!

Evanescence
Wake Me Up Inside

How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading you down into my core,
Where I've become so numb.

Without a soul,
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold,
Until you find it there and lead it back
Home.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I'm without,
You can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.
Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie.
There's nothing inside)
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

(All this time
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
(Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
Don't let me die here.
There must be something more).
Bring me to life.

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside.
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside.
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run.
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone.
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Bring me to life.
(I've been living a lie. There's nothing inside)

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain

^ Wow, Karla! superbbb

Before the Deluge -- Jackson Browne

Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge

Some of them knew pleasure
And some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
For the glitter and the rouge
And in a moment they were swept before the deluge

Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky

Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of the fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge

Now let the music keep our spirits high
And let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky

Sound track of my life

"When will my life begin"
From the movie tangled

7 AM, the usual morning lineup:
Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up
Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15.

And so I'll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit
And cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb,
Sew a dress!

And I'll reread the books
If I have time to spare
I'll paint the walls some more,
I'm sure there's room somewhere.
And then I'll brush and brush,
and brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I've always been.

And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin'
And wonderin' and wonderin'
When will my life begin?

And tomorrow night,
Lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year.
What is it like
Out there where they glow?
Now that I'm older,
Mother might just
Let me go ...

Times they are a changing - Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye

Listen Baby...

Ain't no mountain high

Ain't no valley low

Ain't no river wide enough baby

If you need me call me

no matter where you are

no matter how far (don't worry baby)

just call my name

I'll be there in a hurry

you don't have to worry

'Cause baby there

Ain't no mountain high enough

Ain't no valley low enough

Ain't no river wide enough

To keep me from getting to you baby

Remember the day

I set you free

I told you you could always count on me darling

From that day on

I made a vow

I'll be there when you want me

some way somehow

Oh no darling (no wind, no rain)

All winter's cold can't stop me baby

now now baby

(if you're ever in trouble

I'll be there on the double

just sing for me)

ooo baby

My love is alive

Way down in my heart

Although we are miles apart

If you ever need a helping hand

I'll be there on the double

just as fast as I can

Don`t you know that

Leaves, Trees, Forest
by Dan Mangan

And my heart is a ghost
And he drinks and he smokes
And he keeps me awake
All through the night my heart shakes

So I live alone
Drink beer by the phone and it keeps me alive
I know there is hope but I can't look for it
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

Oh, out in the woods
Out in the field as the hard rains fall
Rust in the wheels of my ten speed
And I ride in the rain
The rain and the wind and it keeps my sane
My head is a god and i can't speak for it

There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

That's the trouble with everything
Everything always does that
That's the thing about everything
Everything always does that

There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
There are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

Losing My Religion - REM

Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said it all

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded old, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said it all

Consider this
Consider this hint of the century
Consider this slip
That brought me to my knees pale
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
And now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

That was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

That was just a dream
Try, cry, why, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream, just a dream...

Makes me reminisce, miss, remember and stuff, this song.

Better Days - Dianne Reeves

Silver gray hair neatly combed in place
There were four generations of love
on her face
She was so wise, no surprise passed
her eyes
She'd seen it all
I was a child, oh, about three or four
All day I'd ask questions
At night I'd ask more
But whenever, she never would ever
turn me away
I'd say, "How can I be sure what is
right or wrong?
And why does what I want always
take so long?
Please tell me where does God live
And why won't He talk to me?"
I'd say, "Grandma what is love?
Will I ever find out?
Why are we so poor, what is life
about?
I wanna know the answers before I
fall off to sleep"
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in
Then she pulled up that old rockin'
chair once again
But tonight she was slightly,
remarkably
Different somehow
Slowly she rocked, lookin' half asleep
Grandma yawned as she stretched
Then she started to speak
What she told me would mold me and
hold me together inside
She said, "All the things you ask you
will know someday
But you have got to live in a patient
way
God put us here by fate
And by fate that means better days"
She said, "Child we all are moons in
the dark of night
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the
time is right
Can't get to better days lest you
make it through the night
You gotta make it through the night,
yes you do"
You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it through the night
Oh, you will see those better days
But you gotta be patient
Be patient oh baby, be patient
Later that year at the turn of spring
Heaven sent angels down and gave
Grandma her wings
Now she's flying and sliding and
gliding
In better days
And although I'm all grown up
I still get confused
I stumble through the dark
Getting bumped and bruised
When night gets in my way
I could still hear my Grandma say
I can hear her say
I can hear her say
("Be patient, be patient")
"You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it through the night
baby
Oh, you will see those better days"
("Be patient, be patient")
"But you gotta be patient
Child, do you hear me, yeah?"
("Be patient, be patient")
"You can't get to no better days
Unless you make it, you got to make
it
You got to make it
You got to make it through the night"
("Be patient, be patient")
Oh Grandma, oh Grandma
Do you see me now, lady?
Oh oh oh oh oh
("Be patient, be patient")
She used to sit me on her knee
She used to comb my hair
She used to tell me stories
My Grandma took me everywhere...

"Just A Fool" by CHRISTINA AGUILERA
(with Blake Shelton)

Another shot of whiskey please bartender
Keep it coming til I don't remember at all
How bad it hurts when you're gone (na na na)

Turn the music up a little bit louder
Just gotta get past the midnight hour (uh huh)
Maybe tomorrow it won't
Be
This
Hard
Who am I kidding
I know what I'm missing

You
I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel
(Yeah yeah yeah)
And I
Waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool
(Yeah)

[Blake Shelton]
I said that I don't care
I'd walk away whatever
And I tell myself we were bad together (uh huh)
But that's just me trying to move on without you

But who am I kidding
I know what I'm missing

Hey
I had my heart set on you
But nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel
(Yeah yeah yeah)
And I
Waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool

For holding on to something that
Is never ever gonna come back
I can't accept that it's lost

I should have let it go
Held my tongue
Kept my big mouth shut
'Cause now everything is just so wrong, wrong, wrong

I'm just a fool
A fool for you
I'm just a fool

I had my heart set on you
And nothing else hurts like you do
Who knew that love was so cruel
(Yeah yeah yeah)
And I
Waited and waited so long
For someone who'll never come home
It's my fault to think you'll be true (yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool
I'm just a fool

It's my fault to think you'll be true
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I'm just a fool

Meme, I love that song! ^^^^

This is my favourite song right now, so uplifting, such a great message

Kelly Clarkson - People Like Us

[Intro]
We come into to this world alone
We leave this world alone
And in between people like us
Have gotta stick together...

Hey, everybody loses it
Everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes
Hey, I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you
You'll make it out alive...

Oh, people like us

Paint the world black
Gonna live forever

It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom

Oh oh oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh oh oh
Sing it for the people like us

They can't do nothing to me

This is the life that we lead
So throw your fists in the air
Come out, come out if you dare
Tonight we're gonna dance forever

Everybody loses it
Everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes

Oh, people like us
We gotta stick together
Paint the world black
Gonna live forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom

The mega-super fantastic PINK FLOYD

Time

(Mason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

And of course, SUPERTRAMP

Logical Song

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respecctble, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Listen to it.

Vivir Sin Ti Es Posible by Ricardo Arjona

Vivir sin ti es posible
sin mayor dificultad.
Vivo porque me despierto
como, salgo y duermo
porque juego al domino
porque ha dicho mi doctor
despues de tomarme el pulso
que mis signos vitales
anuncian que estoy vivo

Vivo porque aun respiro
y porque salgo a caminar.
Vivo porque asi es la vida
aunque hay que mencionar
que vivir no es estar vivo.
Vivir pa' mi eres tu

Vivir sin ti es posible
sin mayor dificultad.
Vivo porque tengo un nombre
un numero de cuenta
y mi carnet electoral.
Vivo porque asi le llaman
a ese combustible absurdo
de moverse por ahi

Vivo como lo hacen todos.
Vivo porque algunos creen
que es abrir los ojos.
Vivo aunque me muero a diario
porque tu ya no esta¡s.
Y vivir no es estar vivo.
Vivir pa' mi eres tu

Vivo, sin ningun problema
aunque cada instante
muere sin valer la pena.
Vivo porque sobrevivo
porque aunque no quiera
tengo que cargar conmigo.
Vivo aunque le tengo miedo
a vivir muriendo, a morir en vida

Vivir sin ti es posible
sin mayor dificultad.
Vivo porque se hace facil
respirar el aire
y devolver las sobras.
Vivo porque no hay manera
de negar que existo
por ponerle un nombre.
Vivo por inercia absurda.
Vivo aunque no tengo ganas
de anadirme a todos.
Vivo aunque me muero a diario
porque tu ya no estas.
Y vivir no es estar vivo.
Vivir pa' mi eres tu

{Estrofa 5} x 2

Translated version:

Vivir sin ti es posible ( living without you is possible) By ricardo Arjona.

Living without you is possible
without great difficulty.
I am alive because I wake up
eat, go out and sleep
because I play dominoes
because my doctor told me
after taking my pulse
that my vital signs
indicate (lit: announce) that I am alive

I am alive because I am still breathing
and because I go out for walks.
I am alive because such is life
although it is necessary to mention
that living is not being alive.
You are 'living' for me

Living without you is possible
without great difficulty.
I am alive because I have a name
an account number
and my electoral card.
I am alive because that's what they call
this absurd fuel(?)
of moving hereabout

I am alive like everyone is.
I am alive because some believe
that opening ones eyes is it.
I am alive although I am dying day by day
because you are no longer around.
And living is not being alive.
You are 'living' for me

I am alive, without any problem
although every instant
dies without being worth the trouble.
I am alive because I survive
because although I might not want it
I have to carry it with me.
I am alive although I fear
living [while] dying, dying while alive

Living without you is possible
without great difficulty.
I am alive because it is becoming easy
to breathe the air
and to return the leftovers.
I am alive because there is no way
of denying that I exist
by giving it a name.
I am alive through stupid habit.
I am alive although I have no desire
to add myself to everything. (???)
I am alive although I am dying day by day
because you are no longer around.
And living is not being alive.
You are 'living' for me

Boa Sorte / Good Luck

Vanessa da Mata & Ben Harper

E so isso
Nao tem mais jeito
Acabou, Boa sorte
Nao tenho o que dizer
sao palavras
E o que eu sinto nao mudara

Tudo o que quer me dar
e demais, e pesado
Nao ha paz
Tudo o que quer de mim
Irreais
Expectativas desleais

That's it
There is no way
It's over
Good luck
I have nothing left to say
It's only words
And what l feel
Won't change

(Refrao)

Tudo o que quer me dar (Everything you want to give me)
e demais (It too much)
epesado (It's too heavy)
Nao ha paz (There's no peace)
Tudo o que quer de mim (All you want from me)
Irreais (Isn'´t real)
Expectativas (Expectations)
Desleais

Mesmo, se segure
Quero que se cure
Dessa pessoa que o aconselha
Ha um desencontro
Veja por esse ponto
Ha tantas pessoas especiais

Now even if you hold yourself
I want you to get cured
From this person
Who advises you
There is a disconnection
See through this point of view
There are so many special people in the world
So many special people in the world... in the world
All you want all you want

(Repete refrao)

Now we're falling (falling), falling (falling) into the night (into the night),
Falling (falling), falling (falling) into the night (bom encontro evde dois),
Now we're falling (falling), falling (falling) into the night (into the night),
Falling (falling), falling (falling) into the night.

BOB DYLAN LYRICS

Send "Mississippi" Ringtone to your Cell
"Mississippi"

Every step of the way, we walk the line
Your days are numbered, so are mine
Time is piling up, we struggle and we stray
We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape

City's just a jungle, more games to play
Trapped in the heart of it, tryin' to get away
I was raised in the country, I been working in the town
I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down

Got nothing for you, I had nothing before
Don't even have anything for myself anymore
Sky full of fire, came pouring down
Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around

All my powers of expression and thoughts so sublime
Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Well, the devil's in the alley, mule's in the stall
Say anything you wanna, I have heard it all
I was thinking about the things that Rosie said
I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed

Walking through the leaves, falling from the trees
Feeling like a stranger nobody sees
So many things that we never will undo
I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too

Some people will offer you their hand and some won't
Last night I knew you, tonight I don't
I need something strong to distract my mind
I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind

Well I got here following the southern star
I crossed that river just to be where you are
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long

Well my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast
I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past
But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free
I've got nothing but affection for all those who sailed with me

Everybody's moving, if they ain't already there
Everybody's got to move somewhere
Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow
Things should start to get interesting right about now

My clothes are wet, tight on my skin
Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in
I know that fortune is waiting to be kind
So give me your hand and say you'll be mine

Well, the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay
You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way
Only one thing I did wrong
Stayed in Mississippi a day too long.

"Desert Rose" Ringtone to your Cell
"Desert Rose"

[Cheb Mami Introduction (Algerian Arabic):]
Hadaee mada tawila
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti
[English:]
Oh night oh night
It has been a long time
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Aman aman aman
Omry feek antia
Ma ghair antia
Ma ghair antia
[English:]
Aman aman aman
My life is for you
And no one other than you
And no one other than you

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall

[Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic):]
Ya lili ah ya leel
[English:]
Oh night oh night

"I had to delete all the accents and the tilde sign. Omg it doesnt like my language anymore!"

^^ Karla thanks for sharing.
haha...I think it doesn't like any type of accent.. :-s

Michael, I totally do not understand the Arabic part in Desert Rose lol... Without that English translation, it is impossible because that kind of Algerian music, I think, is called 'ray'.. and only locals can fully understand.

The Pilgrim; Chapter 33 Kris Kristofferson

See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans,
Wearin' yesterday's misfortunes like a smile
Once he had a future full of money, love, and dreams,
Which he spent like they were goin' out of style
And he keeps right on a changin' for the better
or the worse,
Searchin' for a shrine he's never found
Never knowin' if believin' is a blessin' or a curse
or if the goin up was worth the comin' down

He's a poet, he's a picker
He's a prophet, he's a pusher
He's a pilgrim and a preacher
and a problem when he's stoned
He's a walkin' contradiction
partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin' every wrong direction
on his lonely way back home

He has tasted good and evil
in your bedrooms and your bars,
and he's traded in tomorrow for today
Runnin' from his devils, Lord,
and reachin' for the stars,
and losin' all he's found along the way
But if this World keeps right on turnin'
for the better or the worse,
and all he ever gets is older and around,
from the rockin' of the cradle
to the rollin' of the hearse
The goin up was worth the comin down.

He's a poet, .......

Awesome Kristofferson

Monarch Omega - Abnormality

Innocence. Intervals I cannot recall
Eliminated and replaced. With psychotic animals
Obedience. Disassociation overhaul
Synapses interface with cerebrally integrated protocols
Slipping in and out of sentience
Excruciating senses
Bio-cybernetic enhancements
Installed on adolescents
Monarch Omega
Isolate. Traumatized until fractional
Split into a clean slate. Readily extractable
Indoctrinate. Fabricate the unnatural
Victimize & segregate. Agitate the irrational
Triggered metamorphosis
Emotionless psychosis
Circumventing my own existence
Manifesting someone completely different
The wicked soul emerges
Corrupted flesh personified
A blank stare
Mechanical. Fragment of a shattered mind
Eradicate. My purpose unmistakable
Silently infiltrate. Erase the erasable
Assassinate. A face I find unnameable
Though he tries to run his fate is inescapable
Victory not yet certified
I celebrate my own suicide

This brought me chills....

Ov Fire And The Void - Behemoth

I the Sun ov man
The offspring ov the stellar race
My halo fallen and crushed upon the earth
That I may bring balance to this world

I son ov perdition
From sheer nothingness transgressed
Unto the highest self -- to utmost freedom
To explore the starry nature ov my rage

I pulse ov existence
The law ov nature undenied
I hold the torch ov Heraclitus
So I can shake the earth and move the suns

I divine Iconoclast
Injecting chaos into my veins
With life accepted
With pain resurrected
Is the embrace ov god in man profound

The joy ov a dawn
The ecstasy ov dusk
Nourished have I this karmic flow
Where great above meets great below
Let it be written!
Let it be done!
Scattered I walk towards the fractured light

The Eagles Hotel California

On a dark desert highway,
cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas,
rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance,
I saw a shimmering light,
My head grew heavy
and my sight grew dim,
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the Mission bell
and I was thinking to myself
"This could be Heaven
or thiscould be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle
and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say........
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
any time of year
any time of year
Her mind is Tiffany- twisted
She got a Mercedes-Benz
She gotta alot of pretty, pretty
boys, she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard,
sweet summer sweat
some dance to remember
some dance to forget.
So I call up the Captain,
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We have'nt had that Spirit
here since nineteen sixty nine"
and still those voices are calling
from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say....
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
They livin' it up
at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
what a nice surprise
Bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink chapagne on ice
and she said,"We are all
just prisoners here
of our own device"
and in the Master's chambers
They gather for the feast.
They stab it with their steely knives
But they just cant't kill the Beast
Last thing I remember
I was running for the door
I had to find the passage back
to the place I was before
"Relax", said the nightman,
"We are programmed to recieve;
You can check out any time you want
Butt, you can never leave.....

Losing my religion. I love this, too!

Lego House - Ed Sheeran

I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
and build a lego house
when things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings,
there's one thing on my mind
It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
and if you're broke I'll mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
and of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers
and colour you in
if things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
and I'll surrender up my heart
and swap it for yours

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
and of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

And if it's dark in a cold December, I've got ya to keep me warm
and if you're broke I'll mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
and of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

^ love this guy's lyrics!

The Town I Loved So Well - Written by Phil Coulter, performed by Luke Kelly

In my memory I will always see
the town that I have loved so well
Where our school played ball by the gasyard wall
and we laughed through the smoke and the smell
Going home in the rain, running up the dark lane
past the jail and down behind the fountain
Those were happy days in so many, many ways
in the town I loved so well

In the early morning the shirt factory horn
called women from Creggan, the Moor and the Bog
While the men on the dole played a mother's role,
fed the children and then trained the dogs
And when times got tough there was just about enough
But they saw it through without complaining
For deep inside was a burning pride
in the town I loved so well

There was music there in the Derry air
like a language that we all could understand
I remember the day when I earned my first pay
And I played in a small pick-up band
There I spent my youth and to tell you the truth
I was sad to leave it all behind me
For I learned about life and I'd found a wife
in the town I loved so well

But when I returned how my eyes have burned
to see how a town could be brought to its knees
By the armoured cars and the bombed out bars
and the gas that hangs on to every tree
Now the army's installed by that old gasyard wall
and the damned barbed wire gets higher and higher
With their tanks and their guns, oh my God, what have they done
to the town I loved so well

Now the music's gone but they carry on
For their spirit's been bruised, never broken
They will not forget but their hearts are set
on tomorrow and peace once again
For what's done is done and what's won is won
and what's lost is lost and gone forever
I can only pray for a bright, brand new day
in the town I loved so well

Prequel to the Sequel
by Between the Buried and Me

The lady on the hill creates a glorious departure from her everyday life.
Constant swelling of the ankles...A pleasant cry for help...
She began to unfold her story.
A grieving widow mothered this headless wonder.
A perfect crime, that soon lived on. A different life it had to develop...
gripped by every limb it could hold, the lifeless ideas it grew onto its own.
A much needed surrender.
Trees soon started to grow from what seemed like a lifeless neck...
From a monster to a beauty in quick months...
its life seemed to be on its way to a rare freedom.
It decided it should take advantage of this idea.
(the average traveler hints at this every single day of their lives)
A mixture of plantings soon took course in its body...
a spectacle non-the-less,
Walking proud through life letting its branches guide the way.
A path which seemed to be covered in sunshine...
it must be human, for its qualities seem
to outdo even the grandest occupant of the town...
this started to catch the attention of the un-branched...
it had never experienced an affection of this kind...
a wonderful and frightening new obstacle in its life.
Years went by as it finally found true love...
the love of others...three to be exact.
Letting them into every secret...feeding from every branch...
every part used for their lives...
)This went on with no negative scents 'til the 5th year came around...)
It noticed its walking seemed more staggered than normal.
The breeze didn't flow like it used to...
the heart seemed to pound slower and slower...
what caused this?
It seen was noticed that these three had torn every branch, every single stem...
torn to its last life...
how hadn't it noticed a drastic change in the surroundings...
It didn't think anything could go this wrong.

"Comfort..."

It thought life was constant
happiness if constant happiness was all that was given out.
(It left its entire existence up to these three lovers)
hints and all, they did as they pleased...
and not it's starting to wilt away.
(They will see this LOST PERFECTION. It will come back around...
will the newborn live to tell this story? Rewind.)
