Maria- blondie

She moves like she don’t care.
Smooth as silk, cool as air.
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry.

She doesn’t know your name and your heart beats like a subway train.
Ooh, it makes you wanna die.

Ooh, don’t you wanna take her?
Wanna make her all your own?

Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Medina.
Ave maria.
A million and one candlelights.

I’ve seen this thing before.
In my best friend and the boy next door.
Fool for love and fool of fire.

Won’t come in from the rain.
Sees oceans running down the drain.
Blue as ice and desire.

Don’t you wanna make her?
Ooh, don’t you wanna take her home?

Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave maria.
A million and one candlelights.

Ooh, don’t you wanna break her?
Ooh, don’t you wanna take her home?

She walks like she don’t care.
You wanna take her everywhere.
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry.

She’s like a millionaire.
Walking on imported air.
Ooh, it makes you wanna die.

Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Medina.
Ave maria.
A million and one candlelights.

Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave maria.
A million and one candlelights.

Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave maria.
A million and one candlelights.

Maria.
You’ve gotta see her!
Go insane and out of your mind.
Regina.
Ave maria.
A million and one candlelights.​

 

Do you ever look around
turn your ear to the ground
show your face to the sky
on a night when the skies echo sounds
from inside of your mind
on the stage that you shone
where the sun did become you
and move with your thoughts
through the sighs and the scenes
of the worlds you have seen
and the sights that have been
your reflection in shadows and dreams?
- your reflection in shadows and dreams

Did you ever see a man
who did walk down the street
white robe with no shoes on his feet
and on top of his head place a box with two slits
and the sign from his neck said
‘I do not exist’
or a woman who could not remember her name
did stutter and stutter
again and again
and saw you and called you her son
her eyes said
‘my being is gone
but still I’m not dead’?

Miserere

Have you ever seen a sound
have you listened to an image
have you ever touched a thought
have you ever tasted nothing
have you ever told a lie
that was true more than truth
because truth it had lied
all its life when it spoke to you?
And what did it say?
It is that? It is this?
This goes here, here is there
it is not, yes it is
it was dulling your senses
your eyes they were bound
have you ever my friends
been looking around?

And the other replies
with a wave of a hand
I am already here
in this promised land
but not by a god and not by a king
and not by a spirit
deep from within
I am here
because a miracle’s a whim
it’s a flash of glory
it’s an empty tin
and maybe might lets you in
not to save you
but to keep on looking-

Miserere…

Have you ever
been so happy that you’re sad?
that the lights turn to stars
and the stars become eyes
and hello’s are goodbye’s
and the laughs are the sigh’s
and the show disappears with the note
‘until next time’

Long live living
if living can be this

Long live living
if living can be this

Long live living
if living can be this

Long live living
if living can be this

Do you ever look around
and find what is yet to be found?

 

But now the sun,
The winter's come.
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hope you'd fold Open up inside, inside of me.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

 

no one is gonna read any of these lol

 

I was always looking for an excuse.

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skip cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the DA
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try, 'No Doz'
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows.

Get sick, get well
Hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail Join the army, if you failed
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters.

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles.

 

I was thinking the same thing

 

I didn't :tongue:

 

I just scanned a couple of sentences, that was enough for me

 

yeah i just realized that half of these aren't getting read...

i read a lot of them but overall this thread sucks.

Fail.

 

He said nobody else ever loved him
That's why he gets high enough to touch the heavens above him
Vividly remembers every pipe, every needle that stuck him
Every alley he'd ever slept in
Every purse that he snuck in
Every level of hell he's been to
And the one that he stuck in
The one he can't escape
Even though it's of his own construction
Maybe you can relate
Maybe you're one of those who just doesn't
Maybe he doesn't care and loves to allow these demons to come in

 

Famine striking his home
Landin no social standin
In the ecomomic peckin order
Evergency relief distribution system is in disorder
He's checkin the water
Makin sure it's safe enough for his daughter
To float across in the boat he built
Hopefully strong enough to support her
Hoping the border patrol don't catch her ass, process and deport her
Before she reach the shore of the land of the free where the feed you
Treat you like equals, decieve you, stamp you and call you illegal

 

Little Terry had a gun he got from the store
He bought it with the money he got from his chores
He robbed a candy shop and told them "lay down on the floor, put the cookies in the bag and take the pennies out the drawer

Lil Kahlil got a gun he got from the rebels
To kill the infidels and american devils
A bomb on his waist
A mask on his face
Prays five times per day and listens to heavy metal

Little Alex had a gun he got from his dad
And he snuck it in his school in a black bookbag
Black nail polish, black boots, and black hat
He's gonna blow away the bully that just pushed his ass

 

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto-blasting disintegrating
Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm saying
And everywhere I look
There's a dead end waiting

 

Jungle love, it's drivin' me mad, it's makin' me crazy.

 

I just now wrote this, and I admit that it's not very good and it's not so much lyrics, as it is poetry, so please read it and enjoy

Pain comes in waves
Killing my spirit
A broken heart and shattered dreams
No way out, no way to end it
The heartache is consistant
The agony is persistant
Where do I go from here?
Happiness is non-existant
I want to sleep forever
But I'm much to strong to end it
Goals are a waste of time
Nothing ever works
Self-medication eases my mind
And helps me deal with the hurt inside

 

well, shit, bro.

 

It's not complete, but I got a case of writer's block toward the end and wasn't sure how to end it. lol

 

"36-24-36, what a winning hand"

haha

 

neutral milk hotel - gardenhead/leave me alone
Follow me through a city of frost-covered angels
I swear I have nothing to prove
I just want to dance in your tangles
To give me some reason to move
But to take on the world at all angles
Requires a strength I can't use
So I'll meet you up high in your anger
Of all that is hoping and waiting for you

elliott smith - king's crossing
read the part and return at five
it's a hell of a roll, if you can keep it alive
but i don't care if i fuck up, i'm goin on a date
with a rich white lady, ain't life great?

elliott smith - the enemy is you
you beat up on yourself cos there ain't no one else feels quite as good to put straight through hell

elliott smith - high times
i'm so sick and tired tryin to change your mind
when it's so easy to disconnect mine

the beatles - i'm so tired
although i'm so tired i'll have another cigarette
and curse sir walter raleigh he was such a stupid get!
..give you everything i got for little peace of mind!!

the beatles - yer blues
feel so suicidal.. even hate my rock n roll!
