the boomtown rats - i dont like mondays

the silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload
and nobody's gonna go to school today
she's gonna make them stay at home
daddy doesn't understand it
he always said she was good as gold
and he can see
no reasons
'cause there are
no reasons
what reasons do you need to be showed

tell me why
i dont like mondays
tell me why
i dont like mondays
tell me why
i dont like mondays
i want to shoot the whole day down

The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't it peachy keen
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need, oh-h-h


Down, down, shoot it all down

And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh-h-h

And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
Oh, and nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be showed

Slint-Washer
Goodnight, my love.
Remember me as you fall to sleep.
Fill you pockets with the dust of the memory
That rises from the shoes on my feet.
I won't be back here, though we may meet again.

I know it's dark outside.
But don't be afraid.
Everytime I ever cried for fear,
Was just a mistake that I made.
Wash yourself in your tears,
And build your church on the strength of your faith.

Please listen to me.
Don't let go.
Don't let this desparate moonlight leave me with an empty pillow.
Promise me the sun will rise again.

I, too, am tired now.
Embracing thoughts of tonight's dreamlessness.
My head is empty.
My toes are warm.
I am safe from home.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Augie March-Tulip
Are you lit from the inside, is that why your teeth are bright?
You smile as the sun sets on the window, and the car fills up with light.
Make a smile tulip don't think me of something that's passed.
I am not written in the book, but I intend to last.
And as the sun comes up you know it's really going down,
You only framed it incorrectly now you cannot turn it round,
If there's enough of us here left then we'll drive it into town,
And when we pass the field of tulips then I'll put the knuckle down.
Don't frown tulip,
Make a smile,
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile..
There were lions by the roadside, I was driving with my father,
Through a dream of French forests and all was warmth and solace
And all said He is with us but always sad and serious
Standing outside in the garden, pained and peerless..
Don't frown tulip,
Make a smile,
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile..
Make a smile at the end of your tether
This was never gonna last forever..
The woods all were peopled with daughters and sons
The teeming uncounted and unchosen ones,
Who don't dance anymore, they just move around in bubbles
And nobody notices nobody's troubles
Nobody notices nobody's troubles...
Don't frown tulip,
Make a smile,
Don't frown tulip
You know it's all worthwhile..
Make a smile at the end of your tether,
This was never gonna last forever
Don't frown tulip, don't frown tulip..

im considering posting the whole wall album, cos its pretty much one giant song, but thatd take a lot of room, so ill post the summary song

pink floyd - outside the wall

All alone, or in two's,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Modest Mouse-The Stars Are Projectors
In the last second of life, they're gonna show you how
How they run this show, sure, run it into the ground
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin' our lives down to this planet Earth
The stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin' our minds down to this planet Earth
Everyone wants a double feature
They wanna be their own damn teacher, and how
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin' our lives down to this planet Earth
It's all about moderate climates
You gotta be cold and be hot for sure
It's all about the moderate climates
You wanna be blessed and be cursed for sure
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin' our lives down to this planet Earth [x2]
Everyone wants a double feature
They want to be in their own damn teacher, and how
All the stars are projectors, yeah
Projectin' our lives down to this planet Earth
You've got the harder part, You've got the kinder heart
And it's true
I've got the easy part, I've got the harder heart
Aint this true
Right wing, left wing, chicken wing
It's built on findin' the easier ways through
God is a woman and the woman is
An animal that animals man, and that's you
Was there a need for creation?
That was hiden in a math equation
And that's this:
WHERE DO CIRCLES BEGIN?

a song defainetly means a lot more if it relates to what is going on around you at the time...

when i girl i knew committed suicide i heard the song "jumper" by third eye blind. it was just coz of timing that every time i hear it it makes me sad and i think of her...

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 are doing here,
And your friends have left, 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, We can 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...
Can you put the past away, I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend,
I would understand...

and also at my sister's friend's funeral they played my happiness by powderfinger. so now that makes me sad too. i never really thought about the lyrics until that day.

I see your shadow on the street now
I hear you push through the rusty gate
Click of your heels on the concrete
Waiting for a knock coming way too late
It seems an age since i've seen you
Countdown as the weeks trickle into days

So you come in and put your bags down
I know there's something in the air
How can i do this to you right now
If you're over there when i need you here

My happiness is slowly creeping back
Now you're at home
If it ever starts sinking in
It must be when you pack up and go

It seems an age since i've seen you
Countdown as the weeks trickle into days
I hope that time hasn't changed you
All i really want is for you to stay

I know i know i know what is inside

Bob Dylan-Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again
Oh, the ragman draws circles
Up and down the block.
I'd ask him what the matter was
But I know that he don't talk.
And the ladies treat me kindly
And furnish me with tape,
But deep inside my heart
I know I can't escape.

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Well, Shakespeare, he's in the alley
With his pointed shoes and his bells,
Speaking to some French girl,
Who says she knows me well.
And I would send a message
To find out if she's talked,
But the post office has been stolen
And the mailbox is locked.

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line.
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine.
An' I said, "Oh, I didn't know that,
But then again, there's only one I've met
An' he just smoked my eyelids
An' punched my cigarette."

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Grandpa died last week
And now he's buried in the rocks,
But everybody still talks about
How badly they were shocked.
But me, I expected it to happen,
I knew he'd lost control
When he built a fire on Main Street
And shot it full of holes.

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the senator came down here
Showing ev'ryone his gun,
Handing out free tickets
To the wedding of his son.
An' me, I nearly got busted
An' wouldn't it be my luck
To get caught without a ticket
And be discovered beneath a truck.

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the preacher looked so baffled
When I asked him why he dressed
With twenty pounds of headlines
Stapled to his chest.
But he cursed me when I proved it to him,
Then I whispered, "Not even you can hide.
You see, you're just like me,
I hope you're satisfied."

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the rainman gave me two cures,
Then he said, "Jump right in."
The one was Texas medicine,
The other was just railroad gin.
An' like a fool I mixed them
An' it strangled up my mind,
An' now people just get uglier
An' I have no sense of time.

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

When Ruthie says come see her
In her honky-tonk lagoon,
Where I can watch her waltz for free
'Neath her Panamanian moon.
An' I say, "Aw come on now,
You must know about my debutante."
An' she says, "Your debutante just knows what you need
But I know what you want."

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

Now the bricks lay on Grand Street
Where the neon madmen climb.
They all fall there so perfectly,
It all seems so well timed.
An' here I sit so patiently
Waiting to find out what price
You have to pay to get out of
Going through all these things twice.

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end,
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again.

fake? - snow

She makes me want to stay
I've never felt this way
Love is here all around me
I'd rather feel her pain
Then ever see her go away
I could never see I could never know
The place she's taken me I could never own
I'm choking everyday drowning slowly with
Everything that is inside of her life

It's glowing around me right now and I feel
And I can't even breathe, can't even see
when I'm inside her
But I realise it...

I kinda feel that I'm breaking in my room
On a ground that I can't feel
Dead flowers come alive when
I inhale every word she gives to me
One touch of her skin and
I heal without medication in me

It's glowing around me right now and I feel it
And I can't even breathe, can't even see
when I'm inside her
It calls me and burns me sometimes
when I'm near
And I can't even talk, can't even walk
when I'm beside her
But I realise it .....and it's warm like snow

Oh baby, you separate me
From the side that pulls me into pain
I can't explain it, can't contain it
I'm overloading with all the love
that you've designed....

 

[Mojoman]

faith no more - i started a joke

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
oh but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

and I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

and I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, curseing my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

and I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, cursing my head from things that I'd said.

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.

The Flaming Lips-Waitin' For A Superman
Asked you a question,
But I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But then I realised,
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be

Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky

'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be

Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be.

Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift


*Sniff*

Adrienne- The Calling (my old obsession lol.. mad song though)

I've been thinking about you, my love
And all the crazy things that you put me through
Now I'm coming around, Throwing it back to you
Were you thinking of me when you kissed him
Could you taste me when you licked his skin
All the while I showered you with trust and promises
What I'm needing now is some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all I had to give, but I could never reach you

Chorus:
Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, Used me up

Spent my money, drove my car
I treated you like a shining star
But in my sky all burnt out you are
And I'll have the last laugh, when I see you walking with
some other guy
'Cause I know you're gone end up all alone
So take these words, some good advice
All you've done gonna come back twice
You never cared how much it hurt, I really need to tell you

Chorus:
Adrienne, I thought I knew you
Once again, you used me, used me
Adrienne, I should have left you
Long before you used me, Used me up

What I'm needing now's some sweet revenge
To get back all that I lost then
I gave you all that I had to give, but I could never reach you

Chorus

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Radiohead-My Iron Lung
Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it
But it hurts like hell

My brain says I'm receiving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung

We're too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung

The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We'll just hum

This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon
The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon

And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK
And if you're frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it's OK

The headshrinkers, they want everything
My uncle Bill, my Belisha beacon.

sheets of empty canvas,untouched sheets of clay
her legs spread out before me, as her body once did
all five herizones revolved around the sun
i see earth through the sun
now the air i tasted and breathed, has talking a turn

and all i taught her was everything
and all she gave me all that she wore
and now my bitter hand shake beneathe the clouds
of what was everything, all the pictures have all been washed in black
tatooed everyday

Ill take a walk outside, im surronded bye some kids that play
i can feel there laughter so what do i say
and twisted thoughts that spin around my head
im spinning im spinning how quick the sun can drop away

and now my bitter hands lay on broken glass
of what was everything,all the pictures have all been washed in black
tatooed everyday, the love gone bad turn my world to black tatooed all that i see all that ill am ill that ill be

i know someday youll have a beatiful life i know youll be as such
in somebody elses sky but why why why can it be can it be mine

top stuff! its made several appearances in this thread

Pavement-In The Mouth Of A Desert
can you treat it like an oil well
when it's underground, out of sight?
and if the sight is just a whore sign
can it make enough sense to me?

pretend the table is a trust knot
we'll put our labels down, favors down
i'll watch some yards of twine unravel
and you'll never get it back

it's what i want (it's what i want)
it's what i want (twine comes down)
it's what i want (it's what i want)
don't you know, i could make you try
make you try [3x]

i've been crowned the king of it, and it is all we have
so wait to hear my words and they're diamond sharp
i can open it up and it's up and down

it's what i want (it's what i want)
to see you beg like a little dog (ball of twine)
don't you know that it's what i want (it's what i want)
i'll see you beg and it makes you dry
makes you dry [3x]

i've been down, the king of it, it is all we have
i've been down and i could wait to hear the words
they're diamond sharp today.

R.E.M-Ebow The Letter
Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry
Some of them, they surprise.
The bus ride, I went to write this, four a.m., this letter.
Fields of poppies, little pearls.
All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed each and every one a
little scary,
I said your name.

I wore it like a badge of teen age film stars,
Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras
Dreaming of Maria Callas
Whoever she is.
This fame thing, I don't get it
I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it
Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves
I can take you far.
This star thing, I don't get it.

Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near
It tastes like fear.

Will you live to eighty-three?
Will you ever welcome me?
Will you show me something that nobody else has seen?
Smoke it, drink.
Here comes the flood.
Anything to thin the blood, these corrosives do their magic slowly and sweet.
Phone, eat it, drink.
Just another chink,
Cuts and dents, they catch the light.
Aluminum, the weakest link.

I don't want to disappoint you
I'm not here to anoint you
I would lick your feet but is that the sickest move,
I wear my own crown in sadness and in sorrow
And who'd have thought tomorrow could be so strange?
My loss, and here we go again.

Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
It tastes like fear.

Look up, what do you see?
All of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry.
Some of them they surprise.
I can't look it in the eyes
Seconal, Spanish fly, absinthe,
Kerosene cherry flavored neck and collar
I can smell the sorrow on your breath
The sweat, the victory and sorrow, the smell of fear. I got it.

Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
Aluminum, tastes like fear, Adrenaline, it pulls us near.
Tastes like fear...it pulls us near.
It tastes like fear...it pulls us near.
It tastes like fear, pulls us near.
Nearer, nearer.
I'll take you there, I'll take you there,
I'll take you there, I'll take you there...

"Good Enough" by Sarah McLachlan

it's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
and threw you to the ground
who's there that makes you so afraid
you're shaken to the bone
and I don't understand
you deserve so much more than this

So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you
don't tell me why
he's never been there for you
don't you know that why
is simply not good enough
so just let me try
and I will be good to you
just let me try
and I will be there for you
I'll show you why
you're so much more than good enough...

 

[Gregor Samsa]

One of the very few songs to have a rap about facts;
Talking Heads-Crosseyed And Painless
Lost my shape Tryin' to act casual!
Can't stop I might end up in the hospital
Changin' my shape I feel like an accident
They're back! To explain their experience

Isn't it weird Looks too obscure to me
Wasting away That was their policy

I'm ready to leave I push the facts in front of me
Facts lost Ya facts are never what they seem to be
There's nothing there! No information left of any kind
Lifting my head 'Looking for danger signs

There was a line There was a formula
Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us
There was a line There was a formula
Sharp as a knife Facts cut a hole in us

I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting

The feeling returns Whenever we close out eyes
Lifting my head looking around inside

The island of doubt It's like the taste of medicine
Working by hindsight Got the message from the oxygen
M'M'Making a list Find the cost of opportunity
Doing it right Facts are useful in emergencies

The feeling returns Whenever we close out eyes
Lifting my head Looking around inside.

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
I'm still waiting I..I..I'm still waiting
