Post a random song lyric

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I am your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me I'm not broken
Hello, I am the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday

['' . .He'd love to spend the night in Zion
He's been a long, long while in Babylon
He'd like a lover's wings to fly on
To a tropic isle of Avalon

He's got a force field and a flexible plan
He's got a date with fate in a black sedan
He plays fast forward for as long as he can
But he won't need a bed, he's a digital man . . '']
 
but what have we here?
15 years later it still reeks of swill and chickenshit conformists
with their fists in the air
like-father, like-son "rebels" bloated on korn, eminems, and bizkits
lord, hear our prayer:
take back your amy grant mosh-crews and fair-weather politics
blow-dry my hair and stick me on a ten-speed
back to the motor league
 
we are the nobodies
wanna be somebodies
we're dead
i know just who we are

some children died the other day
we fed machines and then we prayed
puked up and down in morbid faith
you should have seen the ratings that day

Dark as roses, fine as sand
Feel your healing and your sting again
I hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry

Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish
Or recollections of better days gone by

But it's all right
When you're caught in pain
And you feel the rain come down
It's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower

Eyes like oceans so far away
A feather trail to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
Then into worried nights

But it's all right
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh it's all right
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
Oh it's all right
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
Oh in the sweet sunshower
Oh in the sweet sunshower
In the sweet sunshower

I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet sunshower
And it's all right
All you'll be you are today
Are today
It's all right
All you'll be you are today
Are today.........'':sunny:
 
"...Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer tiny dancer..."
 
Tonight would be the last night that
We had our tea
That bloody tea, which sent us into
Ecstasy

Yesterday Mother complained, feeling
Dizzy, all in pain
Mother's getting weaker, looking
Paler day by day

As morning came, she could not make
It out of bed
And Grandma's spell was getting
Straight into her head

Not a single word, she didn't seem to
Be alive
Getting weaker, looking paler day by
Day

Then Missy came in and she led me by
The hand
I didn't want to go, Oh but I should
Have known
Mother was barely conscious, why
Should I care
Just looking forward to the next
Ordeal

I think I heard My sister begging me
To stay
She gave me the phone, so I could call
Someone for help
I simply let go of her hand, then I cut
The wire

Missy was crying as I left them both
Behind
And Mother's getting weaker, Missy
Shouted at My back
"I hate You"

If I could wave my magic wand...

I am made from the dust of the stars
And the oceans flow in my veins
Here I hide in the heart of the city
Like a stranger coming out of the rain

The evening plane rises up from the runway
Over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
And wonder what you're doing tonight

If I could wave my magic wand
I'd make everything all right

I'm not one to believe in magic
But I sometimes have a second sight
I'm not one with a sense of proportion
When my heart still changes overnight

I had a dream of a winter garden
A midnight rendezvous
Silver, blue and frozen silence
What a fool I was for you

I had a dream of the open water
I was swimming away out to sea
So deep I could never touch bottom
What a fool I used to be

If I could wave my magic wand
I'd set everybody free

I'm not one to believe in magic
Though my memory has a second sight

I'm not one to go pointing my finger
When I radiate more heat than light

Don't ask me, I'm just improvising
My illusion of careless flight
Can't you see my temperature rising?
I radiate more heat than light

Don't ask me, I'm just sympathizing
My illusion's a harmless flight
Can't you see my temperature rising?
I radiate more heat than light

I'm not one to believe in magic
But I sometimes have a second sight
I'm not one with a sense of proportion
When my heart still changes overnight . . .''

Just like a prisoner, he don't know right from wrong.
Just like a baby, he sings a pleading song
And that's why so many tears must fall.
Yes, that's why so many tears must fall.

Just like a sailor, he steers away from home.


He feels a tidal wave in his heart, but he ain't alone
And that's why so many tears must fall.
Yes, that's why so many tears must fall.

I'm like that prisoner, I don't know right from wrong.
Just like that baby, I sing a pleading song
And that's why you'll never know how I feel.
Yes, that's why you'll never know how I feel.

It was starting to rain
On the night that they first decided
It was blinding with snow
On the night that they ran away
They were found in the dark
But they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door

She was meant to be wild
He was nearly a child
But they only could feel each other
They were paper and fire
Angel and liar
The devil of one another

Then they were thrown to the ground
Wiht a terrible sound
Just like somebody broke a heart

Rock 'N' Roll Children
Alone again
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Without a friend
But they got Rock 'N' Roll

It was starting to rain
On the night that they cried forever
it was blinding with snow
On the night that they screamed goodbye

They were lost in the dark
And they never returned
Just like somebody slammed the door

On Rock 'N' Roll Children
Alone again
Rock 'N' Roll Children
Without a friend

''There are no unlockable doors
There are no unwinnable wars
There are now unrightable wrongs or unsingable songs
There are no unbeatable odds
There are no believable Gods
There re no unnameable names,
Shall I say it again?
Yeah
There are no impossible dreams
There are no invisible seams
Each night when the day is through,
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you

There are no uncriminal crimes
There are no unrhymable rhymes
There are no identical twins or forgivable sins
There are no incurable ills
There are no unkillable thrills
One thing and you know it's true,
I don't ask much
I just want you
I just want you
I just want you . . ''
 
Now read this carefully...

Many, many years ago when I was just twenty-three,
I was married to a widow, she was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
And my father fell in love with her. Soon they too were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law--changed my very life!
My daughter was my mother because she was my father's wife!
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby he then became a brother-in-law to Dad.
Well, that made him my uncle--made me very sad!
Because if he was my uncle then he also was a brother
to the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.

My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run.
And, of course, he became my grandchild because he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother and this makes me blue
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too!

Now if my wife is my grandmother, well, then I am her grandchild,
And every time that I think about this, it nearly drives me wild!
Because now I have become the strangest case that you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I'm my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa! I'm my own grandpa!
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so!
Oh, I'm my own grandpa!
 
"...You got a thousand boys
You say you need 'em
You take what's good for you
And I'll take my freedom

'Cause lately it's been so hard
To make ends meet, oh yes it has
And honey, yo hey it's a
One Way Street
And I'm going the other way
(heh, heh, heh)

I thought I knew her
My cagey lady
How could my sunshine
Be so damn shady
She'll say she love to talk
A conversation
But I'm the one
Who makes my situation..."

Leaving my family behind me
not knowing what lay ahead
waving goodbye, as I left them in tears
remembering all we'd said

I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers
I asked Him for guidance and strength
but the simple beliefs of a simple man
lay in His hands, and on my head

I gave everything that they wanted
but still they wanted more
we sweat and we toiled
good men lost their lives
I don't think they knew what for

I sold them my heart
I sold them my soul
I gave everything I had
ah but they couldn't break my spirit
my dignity fought back,
fightback
can you hear me
can you see
Don't you hear me
don't you see

We worked in gangs for all we were worth
the young boys pulling the wagons
we were digging the tunnel, shifting the earth
it was then that it happened.

No-one knew how the cracks appeared
but as it fell they all disappeared
stone fell like rain

Can you hear me,
Can you see
Don't you hear me
Can you breathe

The smoke cleared, the dust it settled
No one knew how many had died
all around there were broken men
they'd said it was safe, they'd lied
you could hear the cries, you could smell the fear
but good fortune that day was mine
and it occurred to me the heart of a good man
it seems is hard to find.

Can you hear me,
can you see
Don't you hear me
don't you see

We worked, how we worked like
the devil for our pay
through the wind, through the snow,
and through the rain

Blasting and cutting through Gods country like a knife
sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life

Ah but I can hear my childrens' cry
I can see the tears in their eyes
memories of those I've left behind
still ringing in my ears
Will I ever go back again
Will I ever see her face again
I'll never forget that night
As they waved goodbye to their fathers

We came from the North,
and we came from the South
with picks and with spades
and a new kind of order
showing no fear of what lies up ahead
They'll never see the likes of us again

Driving the last spike,
lifting and laying the track
with blistering hands,
the sun burning your back

Oh but I can hear my childrens' cry
I can see the tears in their eyes
memories of those I've left behind
still ringing in my ears
Well I'll always remember that night,
As they waved goodbye to their fathers

We followed the rail, we slept under the stars
digging in darkness, and living with danger
showing no fear of what lies up ahead
they'll never see the likes of us again

can you hear me
can you see
Don't you hear me
don't you see

mickey maloney he raised his head
when a bottle of whiskey flew at him
it missed him falling on the bed
the liquor scattered over tim
tim revives see how he rises
timothy rising from the bed
whirl your whiskey around like blazes
thanum an dhul, do ye think i'm dead

and whack fol-de-dah now dance to your partner
welt the floor, your trotters shake
wasn't it the truth i told ya
lots of fun at finnegan's wake
 
It's just fuckin' true...

No matter what you do
I've got better chords than you
There is nothing left to prove while I'm alive

No matter what you say
I've got better chords to play
So just beg for my mercy
Apologize

But if you want something good to sing
You've come to the right place cause I'm the king

No matter what you've heard
I will use that major third
To make better chords
Better chords
Better, Better, Better,
Better, Better, Better,
Bettter chords than you


There you go, straight from the man himself!
 
It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth

No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow

Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth

Mandylion, without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope
End of love
End of time, the rest is silence

Mandylion, without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope
End of love
End of time, the rest is silence

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith

End of all hope
