JofaGuht Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'm feeling random. I think it's time to post the lyrics to whatever song's on our mind. Just because we're bored. Diamonds & Gold by Tom Waits The broken glass And the rusty nails Where the violets grow Say goodbye to the railroad The mad dogs of summer and everything that I know What some men will do here for diamonds What some men will do here for gold They're wounded but they just keep on climbing And they sleep by the side of the road. There's a hole in the ladder; a fence we can climb Mad as a hatter; You're thin as dime Come out to the meadow, the hills are agreen Sing me a rainbow; steal me a dream Small time Napoleans Shattered his knees But he stays in the saddle for Rose And all his disciples They shave in the gutter And they gather what's left of his clothes What some men will do here for diamonds What some men will do here for gold They're wounded but they just keep on climbing And they sleep by the side of the road.

El Virus Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Probably one of my favourites: Melancholy mood forever haunts me Steals upon me in the night Forever taunts me Oh, what a lonely soul am I Stranded high and dry By a melancholy mood Gone is every joy and inspiration Tears are all I have to show No consolation All I can see is grief and gloom Till the crack of doom Oh, melancholy mood Deep in the night I search for a trace Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace But love is a whimsy And as flimsy as lace And my arms embrace an empty space Melancholy mood, why must you blind me Pity me and break the chains The chains that bind me Won't you release me, set me free Bring him back to me Oh, melancholy mood Deep in the night I search for a trace Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace But love is a whimsy As flimsy as lace And my arms embrace an empty space Melancholy mood, why must you blind me Pity me and break the chains The chains that bind me Won't you release me, set me free Bring him back to me Oh, melancholy mood And set me free Oh, melancholy mood MELANCHOLY MOOD (Vic Knight / Walter Schumann) Artie Shaw & His Orch. (vocal: Helen Forrest) - 1939 Martha Raye - 1939 Harry James & His Orch. (vocal: Frank Sinatra) - 1939 Glen Gray & The Casa Loma Orch. (vocal: Kenny Sargent) - 1939 Also recorded by: Marian McPartland; Teddy Powell; Jess Stacy; Kenny Baker; Mary Ann McCall; Bob Zurke. Delight yourself!

JofaGuht Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 Pretty sweet song, makes me want to listen to some Combustible Edison. Guadaloupe by Combustible Edison The wind softly drifting along The Caribbean sunrise As the day goes by things get slowerand more amusing Until, finally, in a sudden splash Of glory The night begins again Wild, twisting, two-step, turning The yearning of young and old alike The crickets begin with anxiety Muffled by darkness Ancient rites of voodoo are brought to mind In jungles, all things appear to be just what they are The spirit that lies within Wild, twisting, two-step, turning The yearning of young and old alike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necroman Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Evil by Mercyful Fate I was born on the cemetery Under the sign of the moon Raised from my grave by the dead I was made a mercenary In the legions of hell Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane You know my only pleasure Is to hear you cry I'd love to hear you cry I'd love to feel you die And I'll be the first To watch your funeral And I'll be the last to leave I'd love to hear you cry And when you're down beyond the ground I'll dig up your body again And make love to shame Oh lady cry, and say goodbye, goodbye! Oh lady cry, and say goodbye, goodbye! You've gotta say goodbye 'Cause I will eat your mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Ride on a Shooting Star by the Pillows Orange slide, the sky that it reflects Sponge's pride, being dangled Spider The apprehension that was caught alive It's okay even if I don't hide it I want to dream in color. Ride on shooting star With the voice of my heart, like a shotgun I kept on singing Grunge hamster, be grown up Lobster of revenge, bring it along Sniper I'll say, "What can you see In that fringed world?" I want to touch it before I aim Ride on shooting star Searching for you, and in withdrawal syndrome I told a lie Ride on shooting star With the voice of my heart, like a shotgun I kept on singing (The English translation may or may not be accurate; I fixed the obvious mistakes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Virus Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I've never heard anything by Cimbustible Edison, but I'd like to. Another of my favourites, this time Russian: [Translated to English] Your Honour Miss. Separation We've been family for so long, that's how it is. Wait, don't tear the letter in the envelope. So unlucky in death, I'll be luckier in love. Your Honour Miss. Foreign Land Embracing me so warmly, but you never loved. Wait, don't call me in your sweet nets, So unlucky in death, I'll be luckier in love. Your Honour Miss. Luck For some you are so nice, for other's not. Wait, Heart, don't call the 9 grams to you. So unlucky in death, I'll be luckier in love. Your Honour Miss. Victory This means that I didn't finish signing my song yet. Stop, you demons, swearing on blood. So unlucky in death, I'll be luckier in love. Hope you like it. EDIT: Who needs the Russian lyrics of the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Half Day Closing by Portishead In the days, the golden days when everybody knew what they wanted. It ain't here today Through the times of lasting love When parents talked of things tried and tested It don't feel the same Dreams and belief have gone Time, life itself goes on Far beyond the shrinking skies Where money talks and leaves us hypnotised It don't pave the way Underneath the fading sun The silent sum of a businessman Has left us choking Dreams and belief have gone Time, life itself goes on In the days, the golden days When everybody know what they wanted It ain't here today Dreams and belief have gone Time, life itself goes on ---------------- damn, this thread is addictive.

El Virus Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 If there's one modern band I still like, it has got to be Radiohead. Their lyrics are quite meaningful, and their music, especially Greenwood's guitar playing, are simply great. I'm not going to put the obvious "Creep" or "Karma Police", but two other ones. Paranoid Android Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) When I am king, you will be first against the wall With your opinion which is of no consequence at all What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android) What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android) Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy You don't remember You don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head, man Off with his head, man Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does.... Rain down, rain down Come on rain down on me From a great height From a great height... height... Rain down, rain down Come on rain down on me From a great height From a great height... height... Rain down, rain down Come on rain down on me That's it, sir You're leaving The crackle of pigskin The dust and the screaming The yuppies networking The panic, the vomit The panic, the vomit God loves his children, God loves his children, yeah! ---------------- Exit Music (Used at the credits in the modern version of Romeo & Juliet) Wake from your sleep, the drying of your tears, Today we escape, we escape. Pack and get dressed before your father hears us, before all hell breaks loose. Breathe, keep breathing, don't lose your nerve. Breathe, keep breathing, I can't do this alone. Sing us a song, a song to keep us warm, there's such a chill, such a chill. And you can laugh a spineless laugh, we hope your rules and wisdom choke you. And now we are one in everlasting peace, we hope that you choke, that you choke, we hope that you choke, that you choke, we hope that you choke, that you choke.

counting_pine Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Cool, another Radiohead fan. I thought about posting the lyrics to Just. Instead, I think I'll go for a song from Turin Brakes' underrated The Optimist LP Mind Over Money - Turin Brakes, 2001 Mind over money, bent over backwards Light up my life like a very last cigarette Time after time dear, we will just lie here Staring at ceilings, it doesn't really matter where we are Wearing a smile like it's going out of style Look at yourself, there's nothing in there Just points on a gravestone, can you see yourself sinking Staring at ceilings, it doesn't really matter where we are That's alright, I warned myself Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else Up on a shelf, that's where I need to be, la da da dee I need to get something, I can't sleep for red eye Internal combustion, can that really happen? I take it back yeah? Whatever I did yeah? I didn't mean it, I was only joking What does this matter in the grandscheming sky, All that I multiply adds up to nothing. That's alright, I warned myself Keep blood on the inside and nowhere else Up on a shelf, that's where I need to be, la da da dee (Here's a link to the video) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JofaGuht Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 I'm not a big Radiohead fan but I do love "Paranoid Android". Anyway these next lyrics are probably among my favorite song lyrics ever but that's after a year or so of not knowing what it was about. It's a song to analyze, without a doubt. Mr. Krinkle by Primus Hello, Mr. Krinkle How are you today? seems the rumors are about your team might move away Now, me, I'm sentimental but I'm not one to cry.... Say there, Mr. Krinkle Let's cruise the bastard boat Damn them sonsabitches with their gillnets set afloat Now I flip on my tele and I watch the waters die.... C'mon on, Mr. Krinkle, tell me why C'mon on, Mr. Krinkle, tell me why C'mon on, Mr. Krinkle, won't you please tell me why? Tell me why..... Hey ho, Mr. Krinkle Have you heard the brand new sound? It's a cross between Jimmy Hendrix, Bocephus, Cher, and James Brown It's called Heavy Hometown New Wave, cold-filtered low-calorie dry.... C'mon on, Mr. Krinkle, tell me why C'mon on, Mr. Krinkle, tell me why C'mon on, Mr. Krinkle, tell me why C'mon on, Mr. Krinkle, tell me why Mr. Krinkle......

Kald0rei Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 La donna � mobile qual piuma al vento muta d'accento e di pensiero Sempre un'amabile leggiadro viso in pianto e in riso � menzognero La donna � mobil qual piuma al vento muta d'accento e di pensier e di pensier e di pensier � sempre misero chi a lei s'affida chi le confida mal cauto il core Pur mai non sentesi felice appieno chi su quel seno non liba amore La donna � mobil qual piuma al vento muta d'accento e di pensier e di pensier e di pensier <<<La Donna e Mobile>> It's opera.

El Virus Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Counting_Pine, great to know you like Radiohead as well. I love the video for Just. Another great song from another modern band: Auf Achse, by Franz Ferdinand. You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you She's not so special so look what you've done, boy She's not so special so look what you've done, boy She's not so special so look what you've done Now you wish she'd never come back here again Oh, never come back here again You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you You see her, you can't touch her You hear her, you can't hold her You want her, you can't have her You want to, but she won't let you She's not so special so look what you've done, boy She's not so special so look what you've done, boy She's not so special so look what you've done Now I'm nailed above you Gushing from my side It's with your sings that you have killed me Thinking of your sins I die Thinking how you'd let them touch you How you'd never realise That I'm ripped and hang forsaken Knowing never will I rise Again You still see her Oh, you hear her You want her Oh, you want to You see her You hear her You want her You still want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
