Song Lyrics

[Graeme]

The Logical Song by SuperTramp

 

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 theyd 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 worlds asleep,

The questions run too deep

For such a simple man.

Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am.

 

Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,

Liberal, fanatical, criminal.

Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youre

Acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!

 

At night, when all the worlds asleep,

The questions run so deep

For such a simple man.

Wont you please, please tell me what weve learned

I know it sounds absurd

But please tell me who I am.

 

This came on the radio yesterday and my eight-year-old son asked me to turn the radio up so he could listen

[Luc]

Everything by Lifehouse has deep significance to me. But since it has been posted already, I won

[Thirdeye]

So glad to see you well

Overcome and completely silent now

With heaven's help

You cast your demons out

And not to pull your halo down

Around your neck and tug you off your cloud

But I'm more than just a little curious

How you're planning to go about

Making your amends to the dead

To the dead

 

Recall the deeds as if

They're all someone else's

Atrocious stories

Now you stand reborn before us all

So glad to see you well

 

And not to pull your halo down

Around your neck and tug you to the ground

But I'm more than just a little curious

How you're planning to go about

Making your amends to the dead

To the dead

 

With your halo slipping down

Your halo slipping

Your halo slipping down

Your halo slipping down, to choke you now

Frank! Long time, no see Welcome to GA.

 

I'm too lazy to Google the answer -- can you edit your post to add a title and artist?

Losing My Religion

by R.E.M

 

 

 

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 set it up

 

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 fool

Oh no I've said too much

I set it up

 

Consider this

The hint of the century

Consider this

The slip that brought me

To my knees failed

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around

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

 

But that was just a dream

That was just a dream

 

 

 

And Jumper

by Third Eye Blind

 

 

I wish you would step back

From that ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

The angry boy a bit too insane

Icing over a secret pain

You know you don't belong

You're the first to fight

You're way too loud

You're the flash of light on a burial shroud

I know something's wrong

Well everyone I know has got a reason

To say put the past away

I wish you would step back

From that ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

Well he's on the table and he's gone to code

And I do not think anyone knows

What they're doing here

And your friends have left you

You've been dismissed

I never thought it would come to this

And I, I want you to know

Everyone's got to face down the demons

Maybe today

You could put the past away

I wish you would step back from

That ledge my friend

You could cut ties with all the lies

That you've been living in

And if you do not want to see me again

I would understand, I would understand

I would understand, I would understand

I would understand, I would understand

Can you put the past away

 

 

Anthony

[NaperVic]

I think I'm drowning

Asphyxiated

I wanna break this spell

That you've created

 

You're something beautiful

A contradiction

I wanna play the game

I want the friction

 

You will be the death of me

Yeah, you will be the death of me

 

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

 

Our time is running out

Our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

 

I wanted freedom

Bound and restricted

I tried to give you up

But I'm addicted

 

Now that you know I'm trapped

Sense of elation

You'd never dream of

Breaking this fixation

 

You will squeeze the life out of me

 

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

 

And our time is running out

Our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

How did it come to this?

Oooooh

 

You will suck the life out of me

 

Bury it

I won't let you bury it

I won't let you smother it

I won't let you murder it

 

And our time is running out

Our time is running out

You can't push it underground

You can't stop it screaming out

How did it come to this?

Ooooohh

 

 

Time is running out by Muse

[Thirdeye]

Reverend reverend is this some conspiracy

Crucified for no sins

An image beneath me

Whats within our plans for life

It all seems so unreal

I'm a man cut in half in this world

Left in my misery

 

The reverend he turned to me

Without a tear in his eyes

It's nothing new for him to see

I didn't ask him why

I will remember

The love our souls had

Sworn to make

Now I watch the falling rain

All my mind can see

Now is your face

 

Well I guess

You took my youth

I gave it all away

Like the birth of a

New-found joy

This love would end in rage

And when she died

I couldn't cry

The pride within my soul

You left me incomplete

All alone as the

Memories now unfold.

 

Believe the word

I will unlock my door

And pass the

Cemetery gates

 

Sometimes when I'm alone

I wonder aloud

If you're watching over me

Some place far abound

I must reverse my life

I can't live in the past

Then set my soul free

Belong to me at last

 

Through all those

Complex years

I thought I was alone

I didn't care to look around

And make this world my own

And when she died

I should've cried and spared myself some pain...

Left me incomplete

All alone as the memories still remain

 

The way we were

The chance to save my soul

And my concern is now in vain

Believe the word

I will unlock my door

And pass the cemetery gates

 

Pantera-cemetery gates

 

[Adrian Michaels]

Oh man... this is so hard. There are so many songs that I feel have special meanings to me. I may end up posting more than one song.

 

First of all, I'm a total showtune freak... Its like the only thing I listen to, and I love discovering small little off-Broadway shows that most people don't know about. I know... I'm a dork, but hey, sue me.

 

I guess at the moment, my favorite song is from the musical Zanna, Don't! Long story short, its a pretty amazing musical about an alternate world where everyone is gay, and its the normal and accepted thing. There's a heterosexual couple at school, and they have to keep their love secret, because everyone would be against them if they found out. Truely an amazing show.

 

The song I love most from Zanna is sung by a guy while he's reflecting on his boyfriend, and how he's treated in the relationship. The first time I heard his song, I played it over and over and over, and just soaked up the words. Its really great for anyone (like me... too many times...) who's loved someone that didn't quite feel the same way. This is part of my "Emo Broadway" playlist on my iTunes. Man, I need an MP3 or an iPod or something...

 

I Could Write Books

I could write books, about all the things you don't know about me

Page after page of all the things you didn't say

I could write books, about all the things you didn't do

And then write twice as much about how much I still love you

 

I drop hints about my birthday, you forget it anyway

I say "Pick me up at Seven", and you do, but the wrong day

Is there something I should know about, that's going on inside?

What is wrong with me, that there's so much of you you hide?

 

I could write books, about all the ways you hurt me.

All the ways that you didn't know, could destroy a person so.

I could write books, about all the things you took from me

And then write twice as much about how much you give back.

 

I could fill all the desert sands, with ancient scriptures from my hands.

Watch Siroccos come erase them, and then write them all again.

I just don't understand why I do, all these things that don't make sense.

But Love it seems has a logic, that defys all evidence.

 

I could write books, about all things I don't know about you.

Volumes one and two of all the doubt you put me through

And maybe I don't know why I do the things you do.

But I do know, I'll always love you...

 

'Cus deep inside I think, you love me to.

 

 

*sigh* such a great song. ... I'll post more when I think of other songs.

[shadowgod]

Well I heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well it goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

Well Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

And she tied you to her kitchen chair

And She broke your throne and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

 

Well baby I've been here before

I

[Thirdeye]

I have come curiously close to the end, down

Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,

Defeated, I concede and

Move closer

I may find comfort here

I may find peace within the emptiness

How pitiful

 

It's calling me...

 

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping

The moon tells me a secret - my confidant

As full and bright as I am

This light is not my own and

A million light reflections pass over me

 

Its source is bright and endless

She resuscitates the hopeless

Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

 

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt

Don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.

I must crucify the ego before it's far too late

I pray the light lifts me out

Before I pine away.

 

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late

To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,

And you will come to find that we are all one mind

Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

Just let the light touch you

And let the words spill through

And let them pass right through

Bringing out our hope and reason ...

before we pine away.

Applicable, but not my favorite would be Gay Bar, by Electric Six:

 

GIRL!

I wanna take you to a gay bar,

I wanna take you to a gay bar,

I wanna take you to a gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.

 

Let's start a war, start a nuclear war,

At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.

Wow!

At the gay bar.

Now Tell me do ya?, but do ya have any money?

I wanna spend all your money,

at the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.

 

(Pause)

 

I've got something to put in you,

I've got something to put in you,

I've got something to put in you,

At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.

Wow!

 

You're a superstar, at the gay bar.

You're a superstar, at the gay bar.

Yeah! you're a superstar, yeah at the gay bar.

You're a superstar, at the gay bar.

Superstar.

Super, super, superstar

 

 

Favorite could be:

 

DCFC Someday You Will Be Loved, or Dire Straits The Man's too Strong:

 

I'm just and ageing drummer boy

And in the wars I used to play

And I've called the tune

To many a torture session

Now they say I am a war criminal

And I'm fading away

Father please hear my confession

 

I have legalised robbery

Called it a belief

I have run with the money

And hid like a theif

I have re-written history

With my armies and my crooks

Invented memories

I did burn all the books

And I can still hear his laughter

And I can still hear his song

The man's too big

The man's too strong

 

Well I have tried to be meek

And I have tried to be mild

But I spat like a woman

And sulked like a child

I have lived behind walls

That have made me alone

Striven for peace

Which I have never known

And I can still hear his laughter

And I can still hear his song

The man's too big

The man's too strong

 

Well the sun rose on the courtyard

And they all did hear him say

'You always were a Judas

But I got you anyway

You may have got your silver

But I swear upon my life

Your sister gave me diamonds

And I gave them to your wife'

Oh father please help me

For I have done wrong

The man's too big

The man's too strong

[Thirdeye]

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 ... 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.

Gay Boyfriend

By The Hazards

 

One two ready go!

 

I'm tired of boys who make me cry

They cheat on me and they tell me lies.

I want a love who'll never stray.

When he sees other girls he looks away.

And if he never kisses me well that's alright

Cause we can just cuddle all night.

 

Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend!

I don't really care that you are queer.

Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend!

I never feel lonely when you are near.

 

It'll be a great romance;

We'll go shopping and buy tight pants!

You don't care how big my ass is,

Just how fabulous my dress is.

 

Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend!

I don't really care that you are queer.

Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend!

I never feel lonely when you are near.

 

He'll cry at movies on our dates,

romantic comedies sure are great!

And when you cry I'll dry your tears

Cause I'll always think that you are fierce.

 

Well I like cigarettes and that's no gag,

but you'll always be my favorite fag,

you'll always be my favorite fag,

you'll always be my favorite faaaaaaaaaaaaag!

 

Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend!

I don't really care that you are queer.

Gay boyfriend, gay boyfriend!

I never feel lonely when you are near.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh come on, could it be any cuter?

[Bondwriter]

For Zibidibido: the song and a cool animation.

I guess Shadowgod's posting brought back to my mind a lot of Leonard Cohen's songs with great lyrics: Chelsea Hotel, Suzanne, The Partisan... Darn, going into hippie mode again!

 

 

Here is the vid for Razor's song; the great singing and the amazing pictures would be sorely missed if you'd had only read the (fabulous, must I say) lyrics.

 

Edit: the above is a parody, but worth watching, so I'll leave the link. Here is an AMV that features the song with slightly better production.

[Drewbie]

Wouldn't call this song a favorite, more it moved me,

 

Look up Brian Deneke if you want to know more.

[jfalkon]

This song is one of my favorites. The lyrics are pretty simple but I like the way they sound when you read or sing them. They also reflect some sentiments that usualy don't make it into songs.

 

artist: Three Days Grace Lyrics song: Pain Pain, without love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

 

You're sick of feeling numb

You're not the only one

I'll take you by the hand

And I'll show you a world that you can understand

This life is filled with hurt

When happiness doesn't work

Trust me and take my hand

When the lights go out you will understand

 

Pain, without love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

 

Anger and agony

Are better than misery

Trust me I've got a plan

When the lights go off you will understand

 

Pain, without love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing

Rather feel pain

 

I know (I know I know I know I know)

That you're wounded

You know (You know you know you know you know)

That I'm here to save you

You know (You know you know you know you know)

I'm always here for you

I know (I know I know I know I know)

That you'll thank me later

 

Pain, without love

Pain, can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Pain, without love

Pain, I can't get enough

Pain, I like it rough

'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all

Rather feel pain than nothing at all

Rather feel pain

 

It doesn't reflect anything about me. I don't enjoy pain. If anything I'm on the sadistic side.

[Thirdeye]

I love you more than i should

So much more than is good for me

More than is good

 

Oh the timing is cruel

Oh i need and don't want to need

More than i should

 

I am falling

Say my name

And i'll lie in the sound

What is love but whatever

My heart needs around

 

Oh my sheet is so thin

So i say i can't sleep because

It's so very cold

 

But i know what i need

And if you were just near to me

Would you go....

 

I am falling

Say my name

And i'll lie in the sound

What is love

But whatever

My heart needs around

 

I am falling

Say my name

And i'll lie in the sound

What is love

But whatever

My heart needs around

 

And it needs you

Too much

Now

I have so many. Since I'm supposed to be studying, I'll just post a few lines from my current obsession.

 

 

 

You are everything I want

Cause you are everything I'm not

We lie, we lie together just not too close, too close

Too close is close enough

 

 

I just wanna break you down so badly

I trip over everything you say

I just wanna break you down so badly

In the worst way

Want to whisper sweet and tender in your ear.

Got to have your love

Wanna be you lover

Except the space in-between

And repeating your name

Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya

Now what ya doing, doing, to me

awesome song indeed

 

and another one from the UK

Loving you- Paolo Nutini

 

Oh oh wow yeah

 

Back off loneliness and hello tenderness,

I've been waiting for your call for so long

And it must've been hard just to follow your soul,

To stick to the road that your hearth wants you to go and as you slide through the door

With your morals on your sleeve

And I think it's time for all those morals to leave so let's get down and freaky baby, let's get restless

Baby c'mon' get crazy with me

 

And I said

When you're loving me, I'm loving you and I love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your

Flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

 

Oh so many people think we've got it wrong

they try to break us but we won't play along so let's get down and dirty baby, let's get restless baby

 

And I said

When you're loving me, I'm loving you and I love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your

Flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin'

On oh going on and I was so

 

And I ended another home and you fly in my arms you just fly into my arms

 

And I said

When you're loving me, I'm loving you and I love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your

Flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

 

When you're loving me, I'm loving you and I love your prowess and the things that you do and it's your

Flawless soul that bleeds my stone and when you're loving me I'm loving you and that's when we've got it goin' on

 

 

love that song for sure

[Krista]

Good songs from my two favorites.

 

You're Still Here - Faith Hill

 

Thought I saw you today

You were standing in the sun then you turned away

And I knew it couldn't be

But my heart believed

Oh, it seems like there's something everyday

How could you be so far away

When you're still here

When I need you, you're not hard to find

You're still here

I can see you in my baby's eyes

And I laugh and cry

You're still here

I had a dream last night

That you came to me on silver wings

And I flew away with you on a painted sky

And I woke up wondering what was real

Is it what you see and touch or what you feel

'Cause you're still here

Oh, you're everywhere we've ever been

You're still here

I heard you in a stranger's laugh

And I hung around to hear him laugh again

Just once again

Thought I saw you today

You were standing in the sun then you turned away

 

Silent House - Dixie Chicks

 

These walls have eyes

Rows of photographs

And faces like mine

Who do we become

Without knowing where

We started from

 

It's true I'm missing you

As I stand alone in your room

 

Everyday that will pass you by

Every name that you won't recall

Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

 

And I will try to connect

All the pieces you left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

And I'll remember the years

When your mind was clear

How the laughter and life

Filled up this silent house

 

One room

Two single beds

In the closet hangs

Your favorite dress

The books that you read

Are in scattered piles

Of paper shreds

 

Everything that you made by hand

Everything that you know by heart

 

And I will try to connect

All the pieces you left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

And I'll remember the years

When your mind was clear

How the laughter and life

Filled up this silent house

Silent house

 

In the garden off the living room

A chill fills the air

And the lilies bloom

 

And I will try to connect

All the pieces you left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

And I'll remember the years

When your mind was clear

How the laughter and life

Filled up this

 

And I will try to connect

All the pieces you left

I will carry it on

And let you forget

And I'll remember the years

When your mind was clear

How the laughter and life

Filled up this silent house

This will always be one of my favorites.

 

At Last

By Etta James.

 

 

 

 

 

At last

my love has come along

my lonely days are over

and life is like a song

 

At last

the skies above are blue

my heart was wrapped up in clover

the night I looked at you

 

I found a dream

that I could speak to

a dream that I can call my own

I found a thrill

to press my cheek to

a thrill that I have never known

 

You smile

you smile

oh and then the spell was cast

and here we are in heaven

for you are mine at last.

ZZYZX Road by Stone Sour

Its got to be the best song ever...

 

I don't know how else to put this

It's taken me so long to do this

I'm falling asleep and i cant see straight

My muscles feel like a melee

My body's curled in a U shape

I put on my best but I'm still afraid

 

Propped up by lies with promises

Saving my place as life forgets

Maybe its time i saw the world

 

I'm only here for a while

But patiences is not my style

And I'm so tired i gotta go

 

What am i supposed to want now

What am i supposed to do

Did you really think i wouldn't see this through

 

Tell me i should stick around for you

Tell me i could have it all

I'm still tired to care and i gotta go

 

I get to go home in one week

But I leaving home in three weeks

They throw me a bone just to pick me dry

 

I'm following suit and directions

I crawl up inside for protection

I'm told what to do and i don't know why

 

I'm over existing in limbo

I'm over the myths and placebos

I don't really mind if i just fade away

 

I'm ready to live with my family

I'm ready to die in obscurity

'Cause I'm so tired that i gotta go

 

What am i supposed to want now

What am i supposed to do

You still don't think I'm going see this through

 

Tell me I'm a part of history

Tell me i can have it all

I'm still too tired to care and i gotta go

 

Oh yeah

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah.

 

Still too tired to care and i gotta go

Still too tired to care and i gotta go

Still too tired to care and i gotta go

 

Yea yea

 

Still too tired to care and i gotta go

 

Go home

 

Still too tired to care and i gotta go

 

Yeah yeah

 

Still too tired to care and i gotta go
