[Objectivist]

Pretty much the whole message conveyed in Lynard Skynard's "Simple Man", it really hits home with me and my personal experiences in life.

"...follow you're heart, and nothing else."

[kilted exile]

I've had this song stuck in my head all day:

I Wont Get Grazed ~ Ocean Colour Scene

Im going away to see my own
And tread my earth
Ive got no ordinary gain
By to set my worth
I get enough and I get too late
And if I fall down on the road
Then I wont get grazed

I cannot let you take my time
Or till my earth
Youve had enough of life to see
That it shakes my nerve
All of these things I cant get straight
And if Im falling to the road
Then I wont get grazed

Ive had two of them or three
And I just get hurt
I watch me crawling down the road
Trying to guess my worth
I know not what Im trying to say
But if Im falling on this road
Then I wont get grazed

I watch you running down the road
So I get mine worked out
But you watch me falling on the run
And you have me called out
All of these things they get so strange
Just kill me falling on the road
But I wont get grazed (x4)

the good left undone - rise against

In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
I found a flower at my feet,
bending there in my direction,
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
and pulled until the roots gave in,
finding there what I've been missing,
and I know....

So I tell myself, I tell myself, it's wrong,
there's a point we pass from which we can't return,
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm,

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long,
when I do I dream,
of drowning in the ocean,
longing for the shore,
where I can lay my head down,
I'll follow your voice,
all you have to do is,
shout it out!

Inside my hands these petals browned,
dried up fallen to the ground,
but it was already too late now,
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
returned this flower to the dirt,
so it could live, I walked away now,
but I know...

Not a day goes by when I don't feel this burn,
there's a point we pass from which we can't return,
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm...

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long,
when I do I dream,
of drowning in the ocean,
longing for the shore,
where I can lay my head down,
I'll follow your voice,
all you have to do is ,
shout it out!

All because of you.
All because of you

All because of you,
I haven't slept in so long,
when I do I dream,
of drowning in the ocean,
longing for the shore,
where I can lay my head down,
inside these arms of yours

All because of you,
I believe in angels,
not the kind with wings,
no, not the kind with halos,
the kind that bring you home,
Where Love becomes a strange place,
I'll follow your voice,
all you have to do is,
SHOUT IT OUT!

[naomi moon]

I love the lyrics of Stop and Stare - one republic

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They're trying to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What u need, what u need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do u see what I see...

[Sir Bartholomew]

Saint Etienne's Jack Lemmon

chorus goes like this:

i keep falling in love
but you're breaking my heart
i know that it's wrong
but where do i start
it's the end of the day
i'm here alone
and you're so far awar

When the Tigers Broke Free, Part 2

(Roger Waters)
And kind old King George sent Mother a note
When he heard that Father was gone.
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll,
With gold leaf and all.
And I found it one day
In a drawer of old photographs, hidden away.
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp.
It was dark all around, there was frost in the ground
When the Tigers broke free.
And no one survived
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.
They were all left behind,
Most of them dead, the rest of them dying.
And that's how the High Command
Took my daddy from me.

[kevinthediltz]

One of my favorites is by Les Claypool. I cant remeber the name.

The man he stepped up to the microphone and he gave it a kiss, it was a big, wet, slippery kiss and he had sweat dripping off the end of his nose onto the windscreen and he looked out over the audience and said "god bless you, god bless you one and all" then he took a can of ronson lighter fluid and squirted it over the top of his head and proceeded to light himself on fire. as he stood there glowing he said, "remember this day."

Figured You Out-Nickelback

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the wine stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I love your pants around your feet
And I love the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

[Joyeuse]

I really like Billy Joel, he's so good at lyrics and music.This one's on the more obscure side compared to "Piano Man". It's a great song though.

Vienna

Slow down you crazy child,
you're so ambitious for a juvenile,
but then if you're so smart tell me why are you still so afraid?
Where's the fire? What's the hurry about you?
Better cool it off before you burn it out,
You've got so much to do and only so many hours in a day.
But you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old.
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you?
Slow down, you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want or be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
Too bad but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you've forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
you know you can't always see when you're right, you're right.
You've got your passion, you've got your pride.
But don'tcha know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true.
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you crazy child
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while.
It's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two.
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
that you can get what you want or you can just get old.
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through.
Why don'tcha realize,
Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize,
Vienna waits for you?

By Billy Joel

Getting Away With Murder-Papa Roach

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're the master
And I am waiting for disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I drink my drink and I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I don't need to
Because I'm getting away with murder

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away with murder)

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And I'm the master
And I am craving this disaster

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away)

I feel irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But the reality is I'm getting away with murder

[Nossa]

May It Be - Enya

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

May it be shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun

Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now

[Tiny Dancer]

ooooooh sexiest song EVER
Bob Dylan
Lay, Lady, Lay


Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen

Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead

WOOOOH!

[Tiny Dancer]

Here is an absolutely beautiful song
Sung by Art Garfunkel (LEGEND!)

Is it a kind of dream,
Floating out on the tide,
Following the river of death downstream?
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon,
A strange glow in the sky,
And nobody seems to know where you go,
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Is it a kind of shadow,
Reaching into the night,
Wandering over the hills unseen,
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees,
A cold sound in the air,
And nobody ever knows when you go,
And where do you start,
Oh, into the dark.
Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
bright eyes.
Bright eyes,
burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

[Sloan]

Oh, there are so many songs I need to post, but for now this will do.
"You Make Me Want to Be a Man" by Utada

I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man

Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man

The thunder and the rain called me when you came
We didn't need to say much to communicate
Now it's different
99% is misinterpreted

I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man

Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man

Every word you say finds a home in me
Nothing that anyone could ever say could hurt me like this
Baby please, don't light that cigarette
Don't light that cigarette

I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man

Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man

I really want to tell you something
This is just the way I am
I really want to tell you something, but I can't
You make me want to be a man

Arguments that have no meaning
This is just the way I am
You really want to tell me something, but you can't
You make me want to be a man

[Scorpio Ascendant]

The palace guards are all sleeping
Their fires burn into the night
There's a threat of rain on the dark horizon
And all that's left is a quarter moon of light

He climbs up through the darkness
No weapon but his surprise
The greatest thief in the high Sahara
Enters the room where a sleeping princess lies

All your money, your pretty necklace
This is my work on such a night
There's a storm coming over the mountain
I'll be gone long before the morning

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You find that I've take nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

He was as gentle as the night wind
As no lover had been before
And the rings she wore for her bride groom
Slipped from her fingers and fell to the floor

Take me with you, take me with you
Before my lonely life is set
I've been promised to another
To a man I've never even met

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I've take nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye
After the thunder's spoken, and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken, there'll
Still be love in the world

She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate's wife
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows
Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time

After the rain has fallen
After the tears have washed your eyes
You'll find that I've taken nothing, that
Love can't replace in the blink of an eye

After the thunder's spoken, and
After the lightning bolt's been hurled
After the dream is broken, there'll
Still be love in the world
Still be love in the world




sting ROCKS!
