Within Temptation - Jillian

I've been dreaming for so long,
to find a meaning to understand.
The secret of life,
why am I here to try again?

Will I always, will you always
see the truth when it stares you in the face?
Will I ever, will I never free myself
by breaking these chains?

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
after the tuning sunlight
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way.

I've been living for so long,
many seasons have passed me by.
I've seen kingdoms through ages
rise and fall, I've seen it all.

I've seen the horror, I've seen the wonders
happening just in front of my eyes.
Will I ever, will I never free myself by making it right?

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
after the turning sunlight.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way.

Jillian our dream ended long ago.
All our stories and all our glory I held so dear.
We won't be together
for ever and ever, no more tears.
I'll always be here until the end.
Jillian, no more tears...
Jillian, no more tears...

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back and then at last I'll be on my way

Christina Aguilera - Welcome

Welcome to the greatest show
Greatest show on earth
You've never seen before
Let the fairytale unfold

What's behind the smoke and glass?
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
Are you selling them your soul?
Will you'll be left out in the cold?

Is it all blue skies?
Fun and games until you fall
Then you're left without anyone at all
You're riding on a shooting star
With a smile upon your face
But soon the shine fades

And you're left out all alone
Wondering where did they all go?
Oooh

Been jaded, hated,
Who'll be around when the limelight's faded?
Been shut down, pushed out
Made to smile when I wanted to frown

Always taking a bow
Always working the crowd
Always makin the rounds
Always playing the clown
Who'll be sticking it out?
Who'll be staying around
When the lights go down?

Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind.

And Jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said "all men will be sailors then
until the sea shall free them"
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out of love
and they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind.

Batt your eyes girl
Be otherworldly
Count your blessings
Seduce a stranger
What's so wrong with
Being Happy?
Kudos to those who See through sickness Yeah

When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning:
Don't ever let life pass you by

I suggest we
Learn to love our-
Selves before it's
Made Illegal
When will we learn?
When will we change?
Just in time to
See is all fall down

Those left standing
Will make millions
Writing books on
The way it should have been

When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning:
Don't ever let life pass you by

Floating in this
Cosmic Jaccuzzi
We are like frogs oblivious
To the Water
Starting to boil
No one flinches
We all float face down

When she woke in the morning
She knew that her life had passed her by
And she called out a warning:
Don't ever let life pass you by

-Incubus "Warning"

and my favourite single line form a song:

I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment
I am happy

I'll only type a verse here that I like a lot:

If there's a pensive fear -
The wasted years -
Then man must learn to cope.
If his obsession's real,
suppression that he feels
must turn to hope.
Life is no more assuring than love.
(It's time to take the time.)
There are no answers from voices above.
(It's time to take the time.)
You're fighting the weight of the world,
and no one can save you this time.
Close your eyes, you'll find all you need in your mind.

from "Take the Time" by Dream Theater

this may have been posted before, but I was just listening to it and I was again reminded of what a great song it is:

Hairshirt

by REM

I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before

I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest
It's easier and better
To just beat it from the chest
Of desire

I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this

Here I am here I am in your life
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful life
Your life

Alizee~ Moi Lolita (translated from french)

Me Lolita

Me, I'm called Lolita
Lo or just Lola
That's all the same
Me, I'm called Lolita
When I consider my mistakes
It's Lola who has to bleed
When I make a slip of the tongue, I have
An elated laugh also elated
As a phenomenon
I'm called Lolita
Lo for spirit, Lo for a diluvial love

Me, I'm called Lolita
Student below
Tight jeans
Me, I'm called Lolita
Quick-tempered and not
Half-cotton, half-wool
Silent and a mouth that doesn't tell
Mum that I
Am a phenomenon
I'm called Lolita
Lo for spirit, Lo for diluvial love

Repeat Refrain

It's not my mistake
And if I want to quit
I see the others
All ready to throw themselves upon me
It's not my own mistake
If I hear everything around me
Hello, helli, you're A (L.O.L.I.T.A.)
Me Lolita

and Oh Valencia by the Decemberists

You belong to the gang
and you say you can't break away
but I'm here with my hands on my heart

And our families can't agree
I'm your brothers sworn enemy
but I'll shout out my love to the stars

So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

When first we laid eyes I swore to no compromise
Until I felt my caress on your skin
Well how soon we were betrayed,
your sister gave us away
and your father came all unhinged

So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

Oh Valencia, with your blood still warm on the ground
Valencia, and I swear to the the stars
I'll burn this whole city down

All I heard was a shout
of your brother calling me out
and you ran like a fool to my side

and the shot it hit hard
and your frame went limp in my arms
and AN OATH of love was your dying cry

So wait for the stone on your window, your window
Wait by the car and we'll go, we'll go

Oh Valencia, with your blood still warm on the ground
Valencia, I'll burn this whole city down
Valencia, with your blood gettin' cold on the ground
Valencia and I swear to the stars
I'll burn this whole city down

Is it allowed? Is it desirable? If it will not get closed, the rule is one song per post. Has to be good lyrics, too.

Dreaming of 4000 - Electric Light Orchestra

Saviour of the night came slowly on the silent river
And the lord of life came following, his sins to be forgiven
While the world sat back and laughed away the hours
Till the dawning of the daybreak

I heard them laugh I heard them cry
I saw them praying to the sky
I heard the wind howl in the trees
Down there on bended knee
And I see the light
But I know I must be dreaming

Feel the soul, quiet emotion
Sail on by, helpless devotion
If that's how it feels, it better be real

Take care of your woman
Or you'll never ever see the light
Take heed of the warnin'
Or you know it's gonna be too late

Here, There, Everywhere
They keep on movin' without fear
They look me up, they look me down
They press my body to the ground
But I see the light, see the light it's comin' shinin'

And on a Summers day
When thoughts are drifting far away
And life is good and real to see
My world is saved and I am free
But in the night
Still I know I must be dreaming

This is my favorite song, it's beautiful to me. They're badly translated in english:

Ne Ver Ne Boysia Ne Prosi/Don't Beleive Don't Fear Don't Ask

Different Nights
Different People
Wanting-unwanting
Loving-unloving
Someone falls behind
Someone misses the mark
Someone tires and stops caring

Someone connects wires
Someone miscontrues concepts
Soemone's a braggart
And someones a maniac
Someone like you
Someone like me

Don't ignite and not extinguish
Don't Beleive Don't Fear Don't Ask
And Relax, And Relax
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Ask
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Ask
Don't Beleive, don't Fear, Don't Beleive, Don't fear
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear and Don't Ask

Somewhere we flourish
Somewhere we're endangered
But on our paths, we're be gathered
Someone's a risk and someone fails
Someone understands but unhelpful

Someone Leaves
Someone Returns
Someone finds a new sun
Someone hides behind the bushes
And that someone is me
Someone like you
Someone like me

Don't ignite and not extinguish
Don't Beleive Don't Fear Don't Ask
And Relax, And Relax
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Ask
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Ask
Don't Beleive, don't Fear, Don't Beleive, Don't fear
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear and Don't Ask

And don't ask
Don't ignite and don't extinguish
Don't beleive, don't fear, don't ask
And Relax, And Relax
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Ask
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Ask
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Beleive, Don't Fear
Don't Beleive, Don't Fear, Don't Ask


here are to original lyrics (SAME SONG!)

Raznye nochi, raznye lyudi
Hochet ne hochet, lyubit ne lyubit
Kto-to otstanet, kto-to soskochet
Kto-to ustanet i perehochet

Kto-to zakrutit provod na klemy
Kto-to zamutit novye temy
Kto-to ponty a kto-to man'yak
Kto-to kak ty, kto-to kak ya

Ne zazhigaj i ne gasi
Ne ver', ne bojsya, ne prosi
I uspokojsya, i uspokojsya

Ne ver', ne bojsya, ne prosi
Ne ver', ne bojsya, ne prosi

Ggde-to est' mnogo to chego malo
No na dorogah budet oblava
Kto-to risknyet a kto-to ne smozhet
Kto-to pojmyet no ne pomozhet

Kto-to ujdyet, kto-to vernyetsya
Kto-to najdyet novoe solntse
Kto-to v kusty a kto-to v menya
Kto-to kak ty, kto-to kak ya

Ne zazhigaj i ne gasi

Mother Goose - Jethro Tull

As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose -- so I turned her loose --
she was screaming.
And a foreign student said to me --
was it really true there are elephants and lions too
in Piccadilly Circus?

Walked down by the bathing pond
to try and catch some sun.
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

And a bearded lady said to me --
if you start your raving and your misbehaving --
you'll be sorry.
Then the chicken-fancier came to play --
with his long red beard (and his sister's weird:
she drives a lorry).

Laughed down by the putting green --
I popped `em in their holes.
Four and twenty labourers were labouring --
digging up their gold.
I don't believe they knew
that I was Long John Silver.

Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds
in his jet-black mac (which he won't give back) --
stole it from a snow man.

Heavy mental- Killah Priest
Information begins the gathering
starting the pattern and stargate towards Saturn
between the eye socket is where I will build my sky rocket
you don't need any passport all you need is a thought
suddenly the soul becomes hot as coal
the flame blows from out my brain holes like a volcano
the brain begins to process as we start the conquest
from out the physical bondage, the thought
launches, voyaging 144 billion light years through the shadows of your
imaginination
now open your eyes do you see the flaming arrows aiming at pharoahs
inhibitions
as we begin-racing like a sparrow through the narrow population
seeking purification, the destination is the holy land, of Bethlehem
I eat lamb with Abraham and break bread with the son of man
so slowly, hold these hands and stretch forth from the skies like a
rubber band
as I begin to step you above the land out of the atmosphere
don't look back why, cause we're almost there
just try to prepare and adapt to the air pressure
now we searching for the mental treasure (pleasure)
beyond the measure of yards
you can't comprehend to god or to distance between stars
pick up quasars inside the radar
as we're going far past any astronaut
moving so fast in this aircraft
everything we pass get hot, from the take-off
the blast turns glass into rocks
at last my supreme task was to no longer walk on green grass
till I become a beam of gas
and travel through a extreme draft
unable, to be picked up through cable (through cable)
out of the reach of all manner of sky examiners, heaven scanners,
giant antennas, high tech space cameras
or evidence in any cemetry or obituary
not found in any library or dictionary or encyclopedia or media
I'm in star mode, with the discipline of dahmo, I broke the U.S. bar
code
now I'm on Allah's road to journey, into the realms of the cosmos
where only god knows or goesl, blow like a UFO
to give up my work clothes, only to glow with a holy robe
and explode through the mysterious black holes
deep warp the outer zone, without a phone, to the unknown
to sit on my throne alone (Heavy Mental)
I'm the pilot on galactical plain of knowledge the culture
my sculpture, lights up the ultra violet
so you could see my brain is symbolic, to a palace
therefore I keep my hair stylish, my flesh solid
my teeth polished, next stage, examin my x-ray
take notes for your essay, and let my casette play for longer than a
decade
as we begin to blaze, through the milky ways
repenting from our filthy ways, replenish for our guilty days
the eyeballs, swell up the size of eggs, beyond dreamland
wing span, 7 feet, between the eyes is the beak
destination of the ride, is to reach is the peak, angelic landscape
takes the physical man behind the hidden gates of space
ultimate escapes as we go at a phenomenal rate
as we cruise going into magnitude
as we break up into a multitude of molecules
going through a long hollow tube with a scholars view
as, we wearing the white garment, passing sound waves
that's supersonic, passing the comets, star clusters
changing my physical structure, till my lips begin to pucker
kissing Christ at the last supper
grabbing a brass cup of wine (Heavy Mental)
I feel myself getting older, sitting on my sofa
in the position like yoga, till my mind passes over
the solar system, my wisdom nova, I am the controller
I begin to loosen up my shoulders forming each joint
into the suns 8 points, then I, begin to rise like helium
escape in the milleniumm, two thousand
meditating to the soft note of a violin
I've been on Mars, building the holy synagogue
for the royal seminars, long before they had the renaissance
there existed a hebrew lodge
a phenomenon from out of the matrix
the world looks at me with envy and hatred
just because I appear to them half naked
rising into a spaceship
with an arm full of solid gold bracelets
a phenomenon from out of the matrix
now the only time
the only time you should catch..
only time, you could have
jet lag is if your cassette drag..
rock a by ?
yo, just chill
stop the tape
(STOP IT!) Heavy Mental

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going... -TOOl

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM-The AMAZING JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR ROCK OPERA!!!


I don't know how to love him, what to do, how to move him
I've been changed, yes, really changed, in these past few days when I see myself
I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this, I don't see why he moves me. He is a man, he's just a man,
and I've had so many men before in very many ways, he's just one more.

Should I bring him down, should I scream and shout, should I speak of love, let my feelings
out? I'd never thought I'd come to this,what's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny I should be in these position, I'm the one who's always been
so calm, so cool, no lover's fool, running every show. He scares me so.

I'd never thought I'd come to this, what's it all about?

Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost, I'd be frightened, I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope, I'd turn my head, I'd back away, I wouldn't want to know, he scares me so, I want him so, I love him so.


Probably, the best love song ever written to describe a woman's feelings perfectly...

Elvis Perkins ~ It's Only Me

I heard a sound
when I was a child
someone was walking through the pillow that night
the snow muted
the pitch of night
a shadow approached across a field in white
it's only me
it's only me
and the sound of my heart it startled me
as I drifted
from the dark room
face lifted from the paper moon
reflected in the orbit bath
he manages to say before he starts to laugh
you can't always trust
the darkness and the dust
but me, I'm just a man
it's more than I can understand
it's only me
.
the white noise
falls away
to reveal the perfect day
where roses bloomed
out of thin air
and music rose from down the buried stairs
it's only mine
it's only mine
I grew it in the shade
when the sun couldn't shine
and at times I don't know why
the tears come to my eyes
and what if I go blind
as they flow out of my mind
it worries me
it worries me
that there's someone on my mind
who I don't see
I close my eyes to disappear
into the fields of stars between my ears
the dark
as they overlap
we follow one another
as we fade to black

it's only night
it's only night

an ultrasound when I was alive
the shadows go spying on the ones in the wild
they dip their arrows
into the sea
they wash their arms
as they wait for me
they wait for me
they wait for me
hey wait for me
hey wait for me

Cinema Bizarre - Lovesongs (They Kill Me) lyrics

The curtain's closed
No way home
The nectar of life runs dry
These tainted words
Made to hurt
Cut in me with its' knife

Eating my mind
And with each bite
I'm begging "Please Lord, no"

This place is a mess
The one has gone

Lovesongs, they kill me
They kill me... Now
Love songs are killing me
Are killing me... Right now

Trained to attack
Bull eye shot in black
I never thought they'd get me
These pictures in my head...
Lying in my bed...
These whips make me bleed

This place is a mess
My one has gone

Love songs, they kill me
They kill me... Now
Love songs are killing me
Are killing me... Right now
Love songs are killing me
Are killing me... Right now

I can't hear the sceneries
Of constant tragedies
Of what I meant to feel no more
'cause I'm already dead
And I just cannot bear
To hear another word no more

Love songs, they kill me
They kill me... Now
Love songs are killing me
Are killing me... Right now
Love songs are killing me
Are killing me... Right now

Love songs are killing me
Are killing me... Right now
