The Lyrics thread

[Froderik]

Walking on his highways
We leave the land
And float inside the dark, black water

Robin flies again

She flew low over the highways
And I saw the wind
Blowing back her barbie doll hair

Robin flies again

And in a kitchen in Kentucky
She thinks she's Peter Pan
And in the bottom of a concrete basement

Robin flies again

[Second Skin]

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.

Out of the blue and into the black
You pay for this, but they give you that
And once you're gone, you can't come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
Is this the story of johnny rotten?
It's better to burn out 'cause rust never sleeps
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.

Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye.[ This Message was edited by: Second Skin on 2005-11-27 23:34 ]

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open


If I could melt your heart

[Froderik]

If every word I said
Could make you laugh
I'd talk forever
I ask the sky just what we had
Mmm It shone forever

If the song I sing to you
Could fill your heart with joy
I'd sing forever
Forever
Forever
I've been so happy loving you

Do do do do do do do do do together my love

Let the love I have for you
Live in your heart
And beat forever
Forever
Forever
I've been so happy loving you

Baby just let me sing it my baby
I wanna be singin' my baby
Baby baby baby my baby
I wanna be singin'
I wanna be singin' my baby
Oh oh oh oh
My my my my my my

So I'm goin' away
Mmm but not forever
Na na na na
I gotta love you anyway

Forever

I went downtown
For something to do
Couldn't find nothing, said I
Couldn't find nothing to do
I was hanging round in bars
I was wasting time
Your face made my past
Look like a lousy dime

Cos you're never alone with a Smith and Wesson baby
You're never alone when you come round here
Wild kinetic rivers of sorrow
Riding to hell on rails of fear

Sitting in a restaurant
Waiting for 6 A.M.
The waitress was rough
And the milk was skim
Sunlight blasting through the window
Nearly drove me blind
Just like the light
On the front of that 12.05

Cos you're never alone with a Smith and Wesson baby
You're never alone when you come round here
Wild kinetic rivers of sorrow
Riding to hell on rails of fear

Tonight I shot
My Valparaiso street lights
Wasted dogs for hanging 'round the dawn
Visions fading down
The streets of science
Lizard king is
Leading me on

Cos you're never alone with a Smith and Wesson baby
You're never alone when you come round here
Wild kinetic rivers of sorrow
Riding to hell on rails of fear

Oh, Once upon a mid-nite dearie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestent with aparting gift
I could notbelieve my eyes
When I saw thru the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
Yeah, humor me and tell me lies
AndI'll lie too and say I don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feelin open I'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully.

But you-ou
Why you wanna give me a run-around ??
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is s-low me down.

And shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But I've been there. I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywoods calling for the movie rights
Singin' "Hey babe, let's keep in touch,
Hey Baby, let's keep in touch"
But I want more than a touch, I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no-one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell...
What's yours' and mine, the fishin's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't'cha feed me a line.

But you-ou
Why you wanna give me arun-around ??
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is s-low me down.

Tra-la-la-la-la bomba dear, this is the pilot speakin'
And I've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there aint a whole lot that you can do.
Oh, sure the banner may be torn and the winds' gotten colder.
Perhaps I've grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full
My cup shall always be full.
Oh, I like coffee
And I like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take.
Well alright, Okay
So be that way.
I hope and pray
That there's somethin' left to say.

But you-ou
Why you wanna give me a run-around ??
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is s-low me down.

But you-ou
Why you wanna give me a run-around ??
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is s-low-o me down.

Love this tune,  Blues Traveller aint one of my favorite bands, not that they suck either, but they have a couple of exceptional songs.  This is one of them.  Fuckin' killer lyrics.

You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills
But I never touched nothin'
That my spirit could kill
You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round
With tombstones in their eyes
But the pusher don't care
Ah, if you live or if you die

God damn, The Pusher
God damn, I say The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man

You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With the love grass in his hand
Oh but the pusher is a monster
Good God, he's not a natural man
The dealer for a nickel
Lord, will sell you lots of sweet dreams
Ah, but the pusher ruin your body
Lord, he'll leave your, he'll leave your mind to scream

God damn, The Pusher
God damn, God damn the Pusher
I said God damn, God, God damn The Pusher man

Well, now if I were the president of this land
You know, I'd declare total war on The Pusher man
I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run
Yes I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun

God damn The Pusher
Gad damn The Pusher
I said God damn, God damn The Pusher man

Well I´m here looking through an old picture frame
Just waiting for the perfect view
I hope something special will step in to my life
Another fine edition of you
A pin-up done in shades of blue
Sometimes you find a yearning for the quiet life
The country air and all it?s joys
But badgers couldn?t compensate at twice the price
For just another night with the boys oh yeah
And boys will be boys, will be boys
They say love´s a gamble, hard to win, easy lose
And while sun shines you´d better make hay
So if life is your table and fate is the wheel
Then let the chips fall where they may
In modern times the modern way

And as I was drifting past the lorelei
I heard those slinky sirens wail - whooo
So look out sailor when you hear them croon
You´ll never been the same again oh no
Their crazy music drives you insane - this way

So love, leave me...do what you will
-who knows what tomorrow might bring?
Learn from your mistakes is my only advice
And stay cool is still the main rule
Don?t play yourself for a fool
Too much cheesecake too soon
Old money´s better than new
No mention in the latest tribune
And don´t let this happen to you

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus
Though I knew it was my dad
And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas
Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas
I stood outside a department store
A gang of kids came over and mugged me
And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said:
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys.
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit
Don't give my sister a cuddly toy
We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money
We only want the real McCoy

Father Christmas, give us some money
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed
Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one
He's got lots of mouths to feed
But if you've got one, I'll have a machine gun
So I can scare all the kids down the street

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas
Have yourself a good time
But remember the kids who got nothin'
While you're drinkin' down your wine

Father Christmas, give us some money
We got no time for your silly toys
Father Christmas, please hand it over
We'll beat you up, so don't make us annoyed

Father Christmas, give us some money
Don't mess around with those silly toys
We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over
We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed
Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the day
I just can?t wait till christmas time
When I can grope you in the hay

Easy come, easy go
Have a good time with lots of dough
Slippin? up high, slippin? down low
Love?m and leave?m on with the show

Listen, I like female form in minimal dress
Money to spend with a capital ?s?
Get a date with the woman in red
Wanna be in heaven with three in a bed

He got it, I want it
They got it, I can?t have it
But I want it, it don?t matter
She got it, but I can?t get it
I want a mistress for christmas

Easy come, easy go
Slippin? high, slippin? low

He got it, I want it
They got it, I can?t have it
I want it, don?t matter
She got it, and I can?t get a -
Mistress for christmas

You know what I?m talkin? about
I want the woman in red with bow in my bed

I can hear you coming down my smoke stack
I wanna ride on your raindeer honey and ring the bells

[Second Skin]

Heaven is a place to be
Where everything you want comes to be
But I can't stay here
I'm not free
This is how it is with me

I can hear you
At the door
House, car, satellite
Sell me more
Viva visa divinity
Sapping all my energy

You can run away
Lose your mind
Soft in the middle
And you're flying blind
Ties on collar
Ties that bind
This is what you leave behind

Shiver
In a single kiss
Endless pleasure
Endless bliss
My last fifteen minutes will consist of this
Is it worth it?
Yes it is
You're the catalyst

Feasting on some wild suburban boar
Don't you always yearn for something more?
Si senior

I shiver when i think of you

Shiver
When I count the days
I shiver at your touch
I yearn to stay
You know I'm crazy
But that's OK
Heaven is a glance from you

Instant Karma
In my mind
I shiver at your touch
You look devine
All those years
Have been so unkind
But another hit and I'll be fine

I shiver when I think of you

[fuckbuddy]

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
Who's still around the morning after
We broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after
It's always been wait and see
A happy day and then you pay
And feel like shit the morning after
But now I feel changed around and instead falling down
I'm standing up the morning after
Situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later
And I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
You tell me the morning after
Crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
She'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
No one says until it shows and you see how it is
They want you or they don't
Say yes

[Second Skin]

I'll say good-bye
I've got to go
No more catching fishes throwing wishes at the world below
I'll say good-bye
And spread my wings I've got to go
got to fly

Through Phoney Tony's flying flags
Hacks, rats and media slags
No more hanging with the cats
I leave this world tomorrow

I gave myself
So very very long ago
To the stars yeah
I stopped by to wish you good-bye
It's very very sad I know
I have to fly
I have to fly

You know I'm going to miss you more
Than anyone will ever know
the Levy-blues and the Kippax roaring tide
But I have sworn to follow

A little piece of my heart

To the stars

So sad to be leaving you
So sad to be leaving you

Sadder than you'll ever know

[Nonconformistlaw]

I hear the strangest things echo through the walls
Crash bang boom bang bump-a-dee-bump _________(?)
How much more can I stand
I pounded on the pipes
I call on the phone
Well there they go again____

Sex - Sex - Sex
Sex - Sex - Sex
Uh - Sex - Uh
Sex - Sex

I see them come I see them go
But somehow they look the same
Miniskirts and see-through shirts
A high heel crying shame
Check in and checkin' out
Well this ain't no sleaze hotel
Calling 'til the daylight comes
But check-out time is twelve

Yeah she's on the walls
The bed springs squeak
But the mating call
Makes a strong man weak

Sex - Sex - Sex
I want Apartment B
Sex - Sex - Sex
One floor on top of me
Uh - Sex - Uh
Oh baby up 'til now
Sex - Sex

My doors always open
My phones on the hook
My mailbox is waiting
My names in the book
Got ads in the paper
But nobody cares
Apartment A's lonely
The action's upstairs

Sex - Sex - Sex
Sex - Sex - Sex
Sex

Sex - Sex - Sex
I want some
Sex - Sex
You got him forget about me
Sex - Sex - Sex
Oh no
Sex - Sex
