"for everything i long to do, no matter when, or where, or who, has one thing in common too, its a sin" PSB.

"do you believe in a god that told you lies, do you believe in a god that tells you lies, do you believe in a god that makes you bow, or do you believe in me" Dj Ernesto.

"Heaven holds a sense of wonder, and I wanted to believe, that I'd get caught up, when the rage in me subsides" Sarah McLachlan.

"Well I guess, it's human nature, How people, out talk eachother, But then, we face the danger, Of only, listening to ourselves

In the pressure of, the situation, I won't let, my toungue, get tied, A silent voice, in the congregation, I refuse, to live, a lie" Angelic.

Im sure that one was written after doing a live version of "its my turn" at the Leeds love parade. The congregation being the hundreds of thousands listening, whilst the pressure was on via the live outside broadcast.

It's what I feel inside

I don't want to hide

It's you that's got to me

It's what I want to sing

Cause I've got a dream for us

Running through my mind

Sitting on the beach

Looking at the sea

We are old and tired

And time has made us smile

As we go on counting things

People in the breeze

And we're not the only ones

There's hundreds on the shore

Looking at the sea

But it's just you and me

If the day never comes

I sink beneath the tide

Will you still be with me

And disappear

Emotive stuff there Mr C.

Dreaming of the Queen

visiting for tea

You and her and I

and Lady Di

The Queen said: 'I'm aghast

Love never seems to last

however hard you try'

And Di replied that

'There are no more lovers left alive

No one has survived

so there are no more lovers left alive

and that's why love has died

Yes, it's true

Look, it's happened to me and you'

Then carriages arrived

We stood and said good-bye

Diana dried her eyes

and looked surprised

For I was in the nude

The old Queen disapproved

but people laughed and asked

for autographs

And there were no more lovers left alive

No one had survived

so there were no more lovers left alive

and that's why love had died

Yes, it's true

Look, it's happened to me and you

I woke up in a sweat

desolate

For there were no more lovers left alive

No one had survived

so there were no more lovers left alive

and that's why love had died

Yes, it's true

Look, it's happened to me and you

I LOVE these lyrics:

The cathedral's glittering on, coronation day

Crowned heads and cardinals under, military sway

I approach the altar slowly, in a humble shroud

to receive the acclamation, of the loyal crowd

Give me power, over people, in a palace

with a permanent guard

and the flags unfurled

Give devotion, dedication, celebration

not some cheap charade

and I'll rule the world

All of these delusions of grandeur

because they said 'We don't understand you'

and I want revenge

In audience I receive, the media's pleas

They kiss my ring in interviews, on bended knees

In victory I'm magnanimous, and charming when

I speak exclusively at length, to CNN

About power, over people, in a palace

with a permanent guard

and the flags unfurled

With devotion, dedication, celebration

not some cheap charade

I will rule the world

All of these delusions of grandeur

because they said 'We don't understand you'

and I want revenge

Ring the bells, tell everyone

Revolution can be fun

The PSB, probably the best ever writters of musical lyrics.

Ramona, come closer,

Shut softly your watery eyes.

The pangs of your sadness

Shall pass as your senses will rise.

The flowers of the city

Though breathlike, get deathlike at times.

And there's no use in tryin'

T' deal with the dyin',

Though I cannot explain that in lines.

Your cracked country lips,

I still wish to kiss,

As to be under the strength of your skin.

Your magnetic movements

Still capture the minutes I'm in.

But it grieves my heart, love,

To see you tryin' to be a part of

A world that just don't exist.

It's all just a dream, babe,

A vacuum, a scheme, babe,

That sucks you into feelin' like this.

I can see that your head

Has been twisted and fed

By worthless foam from the mouth.

I can tell you are torn

Between stayin' and returnin'

On back to the South.

You've been fooled into thinking

That the finishin' end is at hand.

Yet there's no one to beat you,

No one t' defeat you,

'Cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad.

I've heard you say many times

That you're better 'n no one

And no one is better 'n you.

If you really believe that,

You know you got

Nothing to win and nothing to lose.

From fixtures and forces and friends,

Your sorrow does stem,

That hype you and type you,

Making you feel

That you must be exactly like them.

I'd forever talk to you,

But soon my words,

They would turn into a meaningless ring.

For deep in my heart

I know there is no help I can bring.

Everything passes,

Everything changes,

Just do what you think you should do.

And someday maybe,

Who knows, baby,

I'll come and be cryin' to you.

Bob Dylan - To Ramona.

Currently the song with my fav lyrics is Don't Take Me For Granted by Social Distortion

This is only a portion of the lyrics:

I'm your worn in leather jacket

I'm the volume in your fúcked up teenage band

A bag of smokes and a six pack

I'm the dreams you had walking down the railroad tracks

You and Me.

I'm your first taste of romance

I'm your first broken heart on a Saturday night

Guys like us ain't got no chance

But I'm the thing that keeps you and me alive

But not forever

Squeeze (Difford and Tilbrook) - Labelled With Love

She unscrews the top of a new whiskey bottle

And shuffles about in her candle lit hovel,

Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens

She smells like the cat and the neighbours she sickens,

The black and white t.v. has long seen a picture

The cross on the wall is a permanent fixture,

The postman delivers the final reminders

She sells off her silver and poodles in China.

Drinks to remember, I me and myself

And winds up the clock

And knocks dust from the shelf

Home is a love that I miss very much

So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

During the war time an American pilot

Made every air raid a time of excitement,

She moved to his prairie and married the Texan

She learnt from a distance how love was a lesson,

He became drinker and she became mother

She knew that one day she'd be one or the other,

He ate himself older, drunk himself dizzy

Proud of her features, she kept herself pretty.

Drinks to remember, I me and myself

And winds up the clock

And knocks dust from the shelf

Home is a love that I miss very much

So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

He like a cowboy died drunk in his slumber

Out on the porch in the middle of summer,

She crossed the ocean back home to her family

But they had retired to roads that were sandy,

She moved home alone without friends or relations

Lived in a world full of age reservation,

On moth eaten armchairs she'd say that she'd sod all

The friends who had left her to drink from the bottle .

Drinks to remember, I me and myself

And winds up the clock

And knocks dust from the shelf

Home is a love that I miss very much

So the past has been bottled and labelled with love.

The past has been bottled and labelled with love.

The past - has been bottled and labelled with love.

STORY OF THE BLUES (PART ONE)

Here in my pocket

I got the Story of the Blues

Try to believe me

'Cos it could be front page news

I say I live with it like it hasn't happened yet

I keep thinking of everyone

How I'm the one, the one they're trying to get

To tell the Story of the Blues

First, they take your pride

Turn it all inside

And then you realise

You've got nothing left to lose

So, you try to stop

Try to get back up

And then, you realise

You're telling the Story of the Blues

Feeling browbeaten

Day after day

I think it's over

But I just can't get away

You say forget it

We'll don't jump the gun

You're laughing this time

Next time you might be the one

To tell the Story of the Blues

First, they take your pride

Turn it all inside

And then you realise

You've got nothing left to lose

So, you try to stop

Try to get back up

And then, you realise

You're telling the Story of the Blues

(repeat)

What they gonna say 'bout me

When they tell the Story of the Blues

I think you`ll all agree, these lyrics are pretty damn Goode

EBENEEZER GOODE - 19/09/1992

4 weeks at #1 - 10 weeks on chart

A great philosopher once wrote

Naughty, naughty, very naughty

Ha ha ha ha ha

There's a guy in the place

He's got a bittersweet face

And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode

His friends call him Eezer and he is the main geezer

And he'll vibe about the place like no other man could

He's refined, he's sublime, he makes you feel fine

Though very much maligned and misunderstood

But if you know Eezer he's a real crowd pleaser

He's ever so good, he's Ebeneezer Goode

You can see that he's mischievious, mysterious and devious

When he circulates amongst the people in the place

But once you know he's fun and something of a genius

He gives a grin that goes around from face to face to face

Backwards and then forwards, forwards and then backwards

Eezer is the geezer who loves to muscle in

That's about the time the crowd all shout the name of Eezer

As he's kotcheled in the corner, laughing by the bass bin

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Has anybody got any veras

Lovely

Ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha

A great philosopher once wrote

Naughty, naughty, very naughty

Ha ha ha ha ha

Ebeneezer Goode, leading light of the scene

Know what I mean, see

He created the vibe

He takes you for a ride and as if by design

The party ignites like he's comin alive

He takes you to the top, shakes you all around

Then back down, you know as he gets mellow

Then as smooth as the groove that is making you move

He glides into your mind with a sunny Hello

A gentleman of leisure, he's there for your pleasure

But go easy on old Eezer he's the love you could lose

Extraordinary fellow, like Mr. Punchinello

He's the kind of geezer who must never be abused

When you're in town and Ebeneezer is around

You can sense a presence in the sound of the crowd

He gets them all at it, the party starts rocking

The people get excited it's time to shout loud

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Got any salmon Sorted

Ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

Oh what a carry on, ha ha ha ha ha

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

Wicked

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Oh what a carry on, ha ha ha ha ha

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

Wicked

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Eezer Goode, Eezer Goode

Lost Tribe - Game Master

Embracing the goddess energy within yourselves

Will bring all of you to a new understanding and valueing of life

A vision that inspires you to live and love on planet earth

Like a priceless jewel buried in dark layers of soil and stone

Earth radiates her brilliant beauty into the caverns of space and time

Perhaps you are aware of those who watch over your home

And experience of this place to visit and play with reality

You are becoming aware of yourself, as a gamemaster

Imagine earth restored to her real beauty

Stately trees seem to brush the deep blue sky

Clouds billow to form majestic peaks

The songs of birds fill the air, create a symphony upon symphony

The goddess is calling for an honouring of what she allows to be created through the core mystery of the blood

Those who own the planet, are learning, about love

WOW!! (All trance heads will know Exactly what i mean by that).

Tool - The Patient

A groan of tedium escapes me,

Startling the fearful.

Is this a test? It has to be,

Otherwise I can't go on.

Draining patience, drain vitality.

This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.

But I'm still right here

Giving blood, keeping faith

And I'm still right here.

Wait it out,

Gonna wait it out,

Be patient (wait it out).

If there were no rewards to reap,

No loving embrace to see me through

This tedious path I've chosen here,

I certainly would've walked away by now.

Gonna wait it out.

If there were no desire to heal

The damaged and broken met along

This tedious path I've chosen here

I certainly would've walked away by now.

And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may.

Be patient.

I must keep reminding myself of this.

And if there were no rewards to reap,

No loving embrace to see me through

This tedious path I've chosen here,

I certainly would've walked away by now.

And I still may.

Gonna wait it out.

Failure - The Nurse Who Loved Me

say hello to the rug's topography

it holds quite a lot of interest with your face down on it

say hello to the shrinking in your head

you can't see it but you know it's

there so don't neglect it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white

she's got everything I need pharmacy keys

she's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes

she acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

say hello to all the apples on the ground

they were once in your eyes

but you sneezed them out while sleeping

say hello to everything you've left behind

It's even more a part of your life now

that you can't touch it

I'm taking her home with me all dressed in white

she's got everything I need some pills and a little cup

she's falling hard for me I can see it in her eyes

she acts just like a nurse with all the other guys

Either "Adopduction" by Les Savy Fav:

Kidnapped!

I was kidnapped

I dreamed I was kidnapped

By a guy with a moustache and a chick with an eye patch

Who though they could trade me back for some quick cash.

But when they relayed the bargain, my family said, "we'll pay half that."

The haggling went on for days,

The days went on for weeks and weeks for years.

Riding in the trunk was never fun

But soon I plum ran out of tears.

They camped us in the woods

We cooked canned goods

They never threatened me with pain.

They treated cops politely

Driving nightly always using coded names.

So, if slowly, I could trust them

Dare I say it, even love them

Who's to blame?

I learned my alphabet

And letterset while setting up my latest ransom note.

They got me correspondence classes,

Got me glasses,

Gave me dropcloths in the cold.

My fondest memories are from my hostage crises

I know it's strange!

Although we got so close, you know,

They never even told me their real names.

...or "Holiday in Cambodia" by the Dead Kennedys

When comes the shaking man

A nation in his eyes

Striped with blood and emblazed tattoo

Streaking cathedral spire

They say

he has no brain

They say

he has no mood

They say

he was born again

They say

look at him climb

They say 'Jump'

They say

he has two gods

They say

he has no fear

They say

he has no eyes

They say

he has no mouth

They say hey that's really something

They feel he should get some time

I say he should watch his ass

My friend don't listen to the crowd

They say 'Jump'

Got to believe somebody

Got to believe

Neil Young "Philadelphia" (city of brotherly love)

from the film philadelphia.

Sometimes I think that I know

What love's all about

And when I see the light

I know I'll be all right

I've got my friends in the world,

I had my friends

When we were boys and girls

And the secrets came unfurled

City of brotherly love

Place I call home

Don't turn your back on me

I don't want to be alone

Love lasts forever

Someone is talking to me,

Calling my name

Tell me I'm not to blame

I won't be ashamed of love.

Philadelphia,

City of brotherly love

Brotherly love

Sometimes I think that I know

What love's all about

And when I see the light

I know I'll be all right

Philadelphia

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot

Coming for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan and what did I see

Coming for to carry me home

A band of angels coming after me

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot…

If you get there before I do

Coming for to carry me home

Tell all my friends I’m coming too

Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot….

My all Time Favorite Lyric is: -

Allons enfants de la Patrie

Le jour de gloire est arrivé.

Contre nous, de la tyrannie,

L'étandard sanglant est levé,

l'étandard sanglant est levé,

Entendez-vous, dans la compagnes.

Mugir ces farouches soldats

Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras

Egorger vos fils,

vos compagnes.

Aux armes citoyens!

Formez vos bataillons,

Marchons, marchons!

Qu'un sang impur

Abreuve nos sillons.

The French Anthem.... :cry:

Marilyn Manson - The Fight Song:

Nothing suffocates you more than

The passing of everyday human events

Isolation is the oxygen mask you make

Your children breath in to survive

I'm not a slave to a god

That doesn't exist

I'm not a slave to a world

That doesn't give a shit

And when we were good

You just closed your eyes

So when we are bad

We'll scar your minds

Fight Fight Fight Fight

Fight Fight Fight Fight

You'll never grow up to be a big -

Rock - star - celebrated - victim - of - your - fame

They'll just cut our wrists like

Cheap coupons and say that death

Was on sale today

And when we were good

You just closed your eyes

So when we are bad

We'll scar your minds

But I'm not a slave to a god

That doesn't exist

But I'm not a slave to a world

That doesn't give a shit

The death of one is a tragedy

The death of one is a tragedy

The death of one is a tragedy

But the death of millions is just a statistic

I'm not a slave to a god

That doesn't exist

I'm not a slave to a world

That doesn't give a shit

I'm not a slave to a god

That doesn't exist

I'm not a slave to a world

That doesn't give a shit

Fight Fight Fight Fight

Fight Fight Fight Fight
