Antiflag - this is the end (for you my friend) 1 week ago

every time the corporate news brings me down,
every time ten people instead of ten thousand turn up to a protest,
every time another good man or woman crosses a picket line in front of me,
Instead of cracking a bottle I throw on a punk album,
and get off my arse and go do it all again till the day the world changes.

Seems every station on the TV
is selling something no one can be
If every page was torn from the magazine
would cash still drive the media machine?
The products, damage and pursuit are endless
identity can leave you selfless

We will not witness this anymore
This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget
on and on, we sing our songs and
on and on, the wars wage on and
on and on, we sing our songs for more
for more

Your eyes are open but you can’t see
your mouth is moving but you don’t speak
a blitzkrieg of images to break your will
I hope you choke on every pill

We will not witness this anymore
This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget
on and on, we sing our songs and
on and on, the wars wage on and
on and on, we sing our songs for more

We will not witness this anymore
This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget…

This is the end for you my friend
I can’t forgive, I won’t forget
On and on, we sing our songs and
On and on, the wars wage on and
On and on, we sing our songs and
On and on, the wars wage on and
On and on, we sing our songs and
On and on, your wars wage on and
On and on, we sing our songs for more
We sing our songs for more



Here's Where The Story Ends, Tin Tin Out with Shelly Nelson 1 week ago

People I know, places I go,
make me feel tongue tied.
I can see how people look down,
they’re on the inside.

Here’s where the story ends.

People I see, weary of me, showing their good side,
and I can see how people look down.
I’m on the outside.

Here’s where the story ends,
Oh, here’s where the story ends.

It’s that little souvenir of a terrible year,
which makes my eyes feel sore.
And I never should of said,
the books that you read were all I loved you for.

It’s that little souvenir of a terrible year,
which makes me wonder why.
It’s the memorys of the shed,
that made me turn red.
Surprise, surprise, surprise.

Crazy I know, places I go,
make me feel so tired.
And I can see how people look down,
I’m on the outside.

Here’s where the story ends,
Oh, here’s where the story ends.

It’s that little souvenir of a terrible year,
which makes my eyes feel sore.
And who ever would of thought,
the books that you bought where all I loved you for?

And the devil never said, go down to the shed.
I know where I belong.
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
was wrong, was wrong, was wrong.

It’s that little souvenir of a terrible year,
which makes me smile inside.
So I’ll cynically, cynically say
the world is that way.
surprise, surprise, surprise.

Oh, here’s where the story ends,
Ooh, here is where the story ends.



Tom Waits 1 week ago

Well the moon is broken
And the sky is cracked
Come on up to the house
The only things that you can see
Is all that you lack
Come on up to the house

All your cryin don’t do no good
Come on up to the house
Come down off the cross
We can use the wood
Come on up to the house

CHORUS
Come on up to the house
Come on up to the house
The world is not my home
I’m just a passin’ thru
Come on up to the house

There’s no light in the tunnel
No irons in the fire
Come on up to the house
And your singin lead soprano
In a junkman’s choir
You gotta come on up to the house

Does life seem nasty, brutish and short
Come on up to the house
The seas are stormy
And you can’t find no port
Come on up to the house
There’s nothin in the world

(Chorus)
there’s nothin in the world
that you can do
you gotta come on up to the house
and you been whipped by the forces
that are inside you
come on up to the house
well you’re high on top
of your mountain of woe
come on up to the house
well you know you should surrender
but you can’t let go
you gotta come on up to the house
(Chorus)



Fidelity, by Regina Spektor 1 week ago

(Shake it up)

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind all these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music

Breaks my heart
Breaks my heart

No they won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb..

You make your own choices and decisions,
You are invulnerable to influences
SIT DOWN, LINE UP, KNUCKLE DOWN, SHUT UP
An electrifying organized crime,
With planes and boats and suicide
SIT DOWN, LINE UP, KNUCKLE DOWN, SHUT UP

You’re so in control
You’re so disposable

30 second spot, real life video game
Memory erased, magnet over tape
SIT DOWN-LINE UP-KNUCKLE DOWN-SHUT UP
Get psyched up listen to Godsmack
Dip you toes in the sands of Iraq
SIT DOWN-LINE UP-KNUCKLE DOWN-SHUT UP

You’re so in control
You’re so disposable

They won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb

You’re so in control
You’re so disposable

They won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb

Every day we’ve been taught to follow
Every day lettered to live one way
There is no one left to acknowledge
There is nothing left to say
Every day we’ve been taught to follow
Every day lettered to live one way
There is nothing left to mention
There is nothing left to say

KILL TONIGHT
Will you follow?
[x8]

No they won’t miss you when you’re gone
When your heart stops beating and pumping blood
Pull the pin, light the fuse, this song’s the smartest bomb

State the obvious
I didn’t get my perfect fantasy
I realize you love yourself
More than you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I’m obsessive and crazy
That’s fine, I’ll tell mine
You’re gay and by the way

I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lyin’
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As far as I’m concerned
You’re just another picture to burn

There’s no time for tears
I’m just sitting here planning my revenge
Nothing stopping me
From going out with all of your best friends
And if you come around saying sorry to me
My daddy’s going to show you how sorry you’ll be

Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lyin’
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
In case you haven’t heard
You’re just another picture to burn

And if you’re missing me
You better keep it to yourself
Cause coming back around here
Would be bad for your health

Cause I hate that stupid old pickup truck
You never let me drive
You’re a redneck, heartbreak
Who’s really bad at lyin’
So watch me strike a match
On all my wasted time
As Far as I’m Concerned
You’re just another picture to burn

Burn, burn, burn, baby burn
Just another picture to burn
Baby, burn

Taylor Swift – Picture To Burn lyrics

Not a song lyric, but... 3 months ago

There is some lovely music involved. Not that that’s the reason I’m listing this. And I’ll apologize to the non-Americans for this one…it just won’t be the same thing for you.

Today was Opening Day.

"On the Border", Al Stewart 3 months ago

Another one of those songs which instantly transports me to a different place…a place where I feel oddly comfortable…

The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border

On my wall the colours of the maps are running
From Africa, the winds they talk of changes coming
The torches flare up in the night
The hand that sets the farms alight
Has spread the word to those who’re waiting on the border

In the village where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
Still you never see the change from day to day
No one notices the customs slip away

Late last night the rain was knocking on my window
I moved across the darkened room and in the lampglow
I thought I saw down in the street
The spirit of the century
Telling us that we’re all standing on the border

In the islands where I grew up
Nothing seems the same
It’s just the patterns that remain
An empty shell
But there’s a strangeness in the air you feel too well

The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border
On the border
On the border
On the border



Photograph, by Nickleback 3 months ago

“Photograph”

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey’s head

And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we’d ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times

I wonder if it’s too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life’s better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn’t let me in

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin’ out
They say somebody went and burned it down

We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we’d find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel

Kim’s the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She’s had a couple of kids since then
I haven’t seen her since god knows when

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can’t erase
You can’t replace it
I miss it now
I can’t believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it

If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change

Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It’s hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.

Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me…

I’m not like everybody else

I won’t take all that they hand me down,
And make out a smile, though I wear a frown,
And I won’t take it all lying down,
‘Cause once I get started I go to town.

‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

And I don’t want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don’t want to live my life like everybody else,
And I won’t say that I feel fine like everybody else,
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

But darling, you know that I love you true,
Do anything that you want me to,
Confess all my sins like you want me to,
There’s one thing that I will say to you,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else
And I don’t want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don’t want to live my life like everybody else,
And I won’t say that I feel fine like everybody else,
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

Like everybody else,
Like everybody else,
Like everybody else,
Like everybody else.

If you all want me to settle down,
Slow up and stop all my running ‘round,
Do everything like you want me to,
There’s one thing that I will say to you,
I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.
And I don’t want to ball about like everybody else,
And I don’t want to live my life like everybody else,
And I won’t say that I feel fine like everybody else,
‘Cause I’m not like everybody else,
I’m not like everybody else.

Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else (like everybody else),
Like everybody else.
