Your Best Song (with lyrics)

ah, what the hell...


If you walk away, I'll walk away. First tell me which road you will take. I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day. So you walk that way, and I'll walk this way.

The future hangs over our heads, and it moves with each current event. Until it falls all around us like a cold steady rain. Just stay in when it's looking this way.

The moon's laying low in the sky, forcing everything metal to shine. And the sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewelry store case. They argue walk this way, no walk this way.

Laura's asleep in my bed. As I'm leaving she wakes up and says, "I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave. Baby, don't go away. Come here."

There's kids playing guns in the street, and one's pointing his tree branch at me. And so I put my hands up, I say, "Enough is enough. If you walk away, I'll walk away." And then he shot me dead.

I found a liquid cure for my landlocked blues. And we pass away like a slow parade. It's leaving, but I don't know how soon.

The world's got me dizzy again. You'd think after twenty two years I'd be used to the spin. And it only feels worse when I stay in one place. So I'm always pacing around or walking away.

I'm drinking the ink from my pen, and I'm balancing history books up on my head. And it all boils down to one quotable phrase: "If you love something give it away."

A good woman will pick you apart. A box full of suggestions for a possible heart. And you may be offended, and you may be afraid, but don't walk away. Don't walk away.

We made love on the living room floor, with the noise in the background from a televised war. And in that deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say, "If we walk away, they'll walk away."

Well, greed is a bottomless pit. And our freedom's a joke, we're just taking a piss. And the whole world must watch the sad comic display. If you're still free, start running away.

I've grown tired of holding this pose. I feel more like a stranger each time I come home. So I'm making a deal with the devils of fate, saying, "Let me walk away, please."


You'll be free child once you have died, from the shackles of language and measurable time. And then we can trade places, play musical grace, till they all walk away.

So I'm up at dawn, putting on my shoes. I just want to make a clean escape. I'm leaving, but I don't know where to.
 
For whom the bell tolls

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for they are right, yes but who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive throught the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Paradise City

Just a' urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line

Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
It's all a gamble
When it's just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Evrybody's doin' their time

Chorus:
Take me down
To the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Take me home

Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember
The surgeon general says it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette but I can't see
Tell me who ya gonna believe

Chorus

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Captain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester with a broken heart
He said -
Turn me around and take me back to the start
I must be losin' my mind - "Are you blind?"
I've seen it all a million times
 
this one seems appropriate.

"When Rhetoric Dies"

We raised the flags and statues to our mission. We've spoken out in slogans and campaigns. We talked and talked on almost every issue where oppression of the masses is a constant theme.

But what does this mean to a little town in Iowa? Where the jobs have gone down stream, down south, down and out. Where the fingers used to work to the bone all day. Profits rise and fall and starvation is a game.

On the face of every American worker is the constant fear that their job will not remain; as the CEO is planning his vacation. To kill or be killed is the nature of the beast.

Where is the food that used to cover the table? Where is the sense of pride at the end of the day? To the face of a thriving corporation what could a dying family possibly say?

Stand in line, take a number. You sell your soul and watch it crumble into a pile of rubble that used to be your job, you life, your family's daily bread dry and stale; malnourished kids. Your house is sold for a degrading bid.

Do we continue to talk, or do we take a hammer to thier chains?
 
i fucking love the Toadies' "Tyler" evry time I hear this song i get a chill

And she runs through her days with a smile on her face
And she runs, and she waits, and I wait

We can drive to anyplace, day or night, across the state
And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up

I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in
Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer
I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed
I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!

I stumble in the hallway, outside the bedroom door
I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice
She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door

I will be with her tonight...:banger:
 
My brakes are on fire from trying to slow down,
I'm always burning my tires and my horn is too loud,
I catch people staring,looking funny at me,
when I step to the window and I toss the TV,
sometimes I get crazy and it makes a big scene,
but when I hit 21 I want to stand up and scream,
I'm filthy rich with laughter, I'm too big for the room
You know from two stories up a Zenith makes a big boom,

Chorus

It's hard to get around in a six foot town,
When you're ten feet tall everything is so small,
I'm always bumping my head, I way to long for the bed,
Yeah it's hard to get around, in a six foot town

Some people live inside a tiny little box,
they're preoccupied about mismatching their socks,
I've never been one to worry 'bout much,
I just want to laugh and love, I just wanna live it up

Chorus

And sometimes I stumble , but hey y'all that alright,
That's the way God made me, I am What I am, and I can't do nothing 'bout that,

Chorus(2X)

We all come out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile we didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the best place around
But some stupid with the flare gun burned the place to the ground

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the danbling house it died with an awful sound
Funke and Cloud was running in and out pulling kids out the ground
When it all way over we had to find another place
It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up in the Grand Hotel, it way empty, cool and fare
But with the Rolling truck Stones things just outside waking our music here
With the few red lights and a few old beds we made a place to sweat
No matter what we got out of this I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water:banger:

From Burning Heart by Survivor
 
:banger:
Numb and broken,
Here I stand alone,
Wondering what were
The last words I said to you
Hoping, praying that I'll find a way
To turn back time,
Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold.
The smile the face of love,
You never left me,
The rising sun
Will always speak your name.

Numb, i'm broken
Here i stand alone.
Wondering the words,
The last words i said to you
It won't be long
We'll meet again...

What would i give, to behold
The smile, the face of love?
You never left me
The rising sun
Will always speak your name

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.

I mourn for those who never knew you
I mourn for those who never knew you

It won't be long, we'll meet again
Your memory is never passing
It won't be long, we'll meet again
My love for you is everlasting.

It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..
It won't be long, we'll meet again..

some of you may know this already. :D



Nightmare, the persecution
A childs dream of death
Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest

Guidance, it means nothing
In a world of brutal time
Electric, circus wild
Deep in the infants mind

Silent scream
Bury the unwanted child
Beaten and torn
Sacrifice the unborn

Shattered, adolescent
Bearer of no name
Restrained, insane games
Suffer the children condemned

Scattered, remnants of life
Murder a time to die
Pain, suffrage toyed
Lifes little fragments destroyed

Silent scream
Crucify the bastard son
Beaten and torn
Sanctify lives of scorn

Life preordained
Humanity maintained
Extraction termination
Pains agonizing stain

Embryonic death
Embedded in your brain
Suffocation, strangulation
Death is fucking you insane

Nightmare, the persecution
A childs dream of death
Torment, ill forgotten
A soul that will never rest

Innocence withdrawn in fear
Fires burning can you hear
Cries in the night
 
I didn't want to read the whole thread, so in the interest of all, I chose a little something that almost certainly has not been posted:

Dead in Hollywood
by Murderdolls

Hey Frankenstein, what’s on your mind?
Hey dracula, I heard you suck
Now Vincent Price was Dr. Phibes
Come steal my brain Fritz
And take it to Dr. Frankenstein
[pre-chorus]
Well you can knock on ed wood
But it won’t do you no good
No, no, no, no good
Cause all of my heroes are dead in Hollywood

Hey Norman Bates, how are your rates?
Hey Leatherface, remove my… face
Hey Tall Man, just take my hand
And lead me to your red planet
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
You’re so dead in, dead in Hollywood
Dead, you’re so dead in, dead in Hollywood

D.E.A.D. that’s how I wanna be
[pre-chorus, chorus]
Whoa, dead in Hollywood
Whoa, dead in Hollywood
Whoa, dead in Hollywood
Whoa

Maroon 5- Wake Up Call

I didn't hear what you were saying
I live on raw emotion baby
I answer questions never maybe
And I'm not kind if you betray me
So who the hell are you to say we
Never would have made it babe

If you needed love
Well then ask for love
Could have given love
Now I'm taking love
And it's not my fault
Cause you both deserve
What is coming now
So don't say a word

[Chorus]

Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Care about me?
I don't think so.
Six foot tall
Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here? I don't think so.

[Breakdown]

Would have bled to make you happy
You didn't need to treat me that way
And now you beat me at my own game
And now I find you sleeping soundly
And your lovers screaming loudly
Hear a sound and hit the ground

[Bridge]

If you needed love
Well then ask for love
Could have given love
Now I’m taking love
And it’s not my fault
Cause you both deserve
What’s coming now
So don’t say a word

[Wake Up Call lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

[Chorus]

Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don’t you care about me? I don't think so.
Six foot tall
Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here?
I don’t feel so bad, I don’t feel so bad, I don’t feel so bad

[Breakdown]

I'm so sorry darling
Did I do the wrong thing?
Oh, what was I thinking?
Is his heart still beating?

Woah oh ohh

[Chorus]

Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
Don’t you care about me? I don't think so.
Six foot tall
Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won't come around here anymore
Come around here? I don’t feel so bad

Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don’t you care about me anymore?
Don’t you care about me? I don’t think so.
Six foot tall
Came without a warning so I had to shoot him dead
He won’t come around here anymore
No, he won’t come around here. I don’t feel so bad

I don’t feel so bad (Wake up call)
I don’t feel so bad (Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed)
I don’t feel so bad (Don’t you care about me anymore?)
Care about me? I don’t feel so bad.
Wake up call
Caught you in the morning with another one in my bed
Don't you care about me anymore?
 
Luther Allison - Cherry Red Wine

Watching you baby, watching you all the time
Watching you baby, just watching you all the time
Watching you destroy yourself woman, all you do is sitting around drinking wine

You worry me baby
I'm sitting here wondering what in the world can I do
We got so much to live for, darling
But I just can't sit here doing nothing and watching that wine destroy you

I'm taking you to the doctor, darling
The doctor knows what's going on in your head
I'm taking you to the doctor, darling
Maybe he knows what's going on in your head

You gonna keep on drinking that bad wine, baby
Even the grass on your grave will be cherry red
 
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.

(Play it!)

I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin',
I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.

(Hit it Luther!)

Well, if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues away.


All hail Johnny Cash and Luther Perkins! :bowdown:

band: Third Eye Blind
song: Crystal Baller

I close my eyes and I see a freak
I think it's me and I'm afraid to speak
So I keep on going from week to weakness
way out in a line
I dream of lives we could of had before,
but the heat is broke down, open doorways
Friends of yours will tell me more
What happens in your mind?
ooo ohh ohh
Can we try and take the high road?
Though we don't know where it ends
I wanna be your Crystal Baller
Wanna to show you how it ends
Macramé quuens in the afternoon
And I'm in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody's joke
What happened to the time?
A foot note in your dance of days
In my mind that record still plays
Still wonder what the fuck it says
I'm hoping there is time
Can we try and take the high road
Though we don't know where it ends
I want to be your Crystal Baller
I can show you how it ends
Good
Can we talk about tomorrow? (some day you must awhile some days)
And the promise that it brings? (some day you must awhile some days)
Let me be your Crystal Baller (some day you must awhile some days)
I want to show you everything (some day you must awhile some days)
Good
I wonder what the whole thing's for?
Oh!
I wonder what the whole thing's for?
In the moment you were screaming at me
I must have been somebody else
And the patrons of the pub keep singing
Macramé quuens in the afternoon
And I'm in tune or did I speak too soon
Punch drunk on somebody's joke
What happened to the time?
I dream of lives we could of had before,
but the heat is broke down, open doorways
Like waiting for a trick to score
It seems that way sometimes
I wonder where were all going?
I'm homesick for your primal knowing
I wonder why the wind keeps blowing
You through my mind?
Try and take the high road (some day you must awhile some days)
