The Random Lyrics Thread!

Woke up this morning, it seemed to me
that every night turns out to be
a little bit more like bukowski
and yeah, i know he's a pretty good read but
god who'd want to be
god who'd want to be such an asshole
god who'd want to be
god who'd want to be such an asshole
well we sat on the edge of the river
the crowd screamed "sacrifice the liver"
if god takes life he's an indian giver
so tell me now why, you'll tell me never
who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
well who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
well see what you want to see
you should see it all
well take what you want from me
you deserve it all
nine times out of ten
our hearts just get dissolved
well i want a better place
or just a better way to fall
but one time out of ten
everything is perfect for us all
well i want a better place
or just a better way to fall
here we go
if god controls the land and disease
and keeps a watchful eye on me
if he's really so damn mighty
well my problem is i can't see
well who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
well who would want to be
who would want to be such a control freak
evil home stereo
what good songs do you know
evil me, oh yeah i know
what good curves can you throw
well all that icing and all that cake
i can't make it to your wedding but i'm sure i'll be at your wake
you were talk talk talk talking in circles that day
when you get to the point make sure that i'm still awake, okay
i went to bed and didn't see
why everyday turns out to be
a little bit more like bukowski
and yeah, i know he's a pretty good read
but god who'd want to be
god who'd want to be such an asshole

 

THE GET UP KIDS

"Campfire Kansas"

woke up at eight, started a fire
had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
the water is bitter cold
laid in the raft till it started moving
the current just sang, the song was so soothing
we stopped along the way
on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
by noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
missed all dangers, snakes and the floods
burned by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold
lunch had been saved along with the lighters
wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
never trust a man with food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
we'd laugh away the sunburn
as we laughed away his day
what we lost means nothing
for the memories will stay
caught the last bus, with no time to linger
driver seemed to be missing a finger
i turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

"High As The Moon"

i built an altar for you
out of polaroids and pins
on the wall of my room
i don't know what to do
waiting for you
should be a sin
out of south station
builds me up
it's all i can do
high as the moon
waiting for you
to come back to my room
i built an altar for you
hope you come around
those lead to my house
i had a question for you
telling the truth
throws at the sound
outside a station
builds me up
it's all i can do
high as the moon
waiting for you
to come back to my room
all i can say
is show me some strength
come over please
your enemies
won't get to you
waiting to speak
days into weeks
come over please
no enemies
outside a station
builds me up
it's all i can do
high as the moon
waiting for you
to come back to me please
come over soon
no enemies
come over see
i'm begging you

"I'll Catch You"

Can you sleep as the sound hits your ears one at a time?
an unspokenbalance here,
unabridged for so many years
that i should stare at receivers to receive her isn't fair
don't worry i'll catch you
don't ever worry
your arms in mine, anytime
i wouldn't trade anything
you're still my everything
to my surprise, before my eyes, you arrive
don't worry I'll catch you
don't ever worry
i'm still breaking old habits, habits when you pulled the wool over me
i can see everything, everything remembering "jinx removing"
don't worry i'll catch you
don't ever worry
no need for reminding... you're still all that matters to me

"Out Of Reach"

long way from home,
lost by an echo, i'd never have known
i've got pictures to prove i was there,
but you don't care
here's me overseas, across a pond by the Dover peaks
i've smuggled myself into new nationalities, you think you'd be proud of me
there's room to believe, out of sight, out of mind, out of reach
start over is no way to begin

"Holiday"

what became of everyone i used to know?
where did our respectable convictions go?
your words don't match the story that your actions show, but what do i know?
i'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be one not to forget,
but remembering's not helping you yet.
say goodnight means goodbye.
i know you think my life would stop with you away
maybe I can see you on the holidays,
but you're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays but i'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
the evidence presents itself accusingly,
your absence speaking everything you think of me
now that I am faced with opportunity
you're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
Even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin

"I'm A Loner Dottie, A Rebel"

come tomorrow i'll be on my way back home
in the morning call from a roadside telephone
one night doesn't mean the rest of my life
if i go it's not impossible but possible is probably wrong
so, let go because i'm afraid to try
keep my hands by my side
i won't come back
i hope someday you'll understand i want to try
and make it right but dont' know if i can
last night everything was right and the rain was gone
one summer night's the only time we've known
shut your eyes and when you wake up i'll be gone

 

Her face is cracked from smiling, all the fears that she's been hiding,
And it seems pretty soon everybody's gonna know.
And her voice is sore from shouting, cheering winners who are losing,
And she worries if their days are few and soon they'll have to go.

Celebration Day ~ Led Zeppelin

 

windy, windy
looking for a better home
got me, got me
runnin' out of lightbulbs
cloudy, cloudy
open to a wastecan
yellow car, yellow car
better be inside there
wake up, wake up
nothin's gonna harm you
glass wall, glass wall
standin' on the furniture
little boy, little boy
layin' on a sleeping bag
watching, watching
through the cracks of his eyelids
stranger, stranger
feeling on a broken stone
lost him, lost him
standin' on the orange chairs
alphabet, alphabet
can't afford a telephone
black hole, black hole
nothin's gonna harm you

 

Then as it was, then again it will be
And though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
On the wings of maybe, down in birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didnt have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, its got so far to go

 

Hey sugar, Hey sugar, Hey sugar, Sugar
Just to watch you sleep. Just to hear you speak. Just to hear you.
Stay. Everything you say. You know it gives you, just gives you away.
Stay, Sugar gasoline. When you're nineteen, when you're nineteen.
Sugar, if I keep it near, will it keep you here, will it keep you here.
Stay, your leaving just gives you away. Your leaving just gives you away.

 

Whack fol'a day diddle dye doe
Je le len 'o je le la le len 'o
Fiddle daddle day diddle dee dye doe
Ho ri fidhe ra huri!

Poke chop sandwich...
Pole chop sandwich...
I gotta poke chop sandwich...
Poke chop sandwich!

 

Father can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born...
And all the sorrow in this world...

Let me take you to the hurting ground
Where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet that could not be won
Between a prideful father and his son
Will you guide me now, for I can't see
A reason for the suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong
Well, then I do imagine...

There will be Sorrow
Yeah there will be Sorrow
And there will be Sorrow, no more

When all soldiers lay their weapons down
Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true Messiah rescues us from ourselves
It's easy to imagine...

There will be Sorrow
Yeah there will be Sorrow
And there will be Sorrow, no more

There will be Sorrow
Yeah there will be Sorrow
And there will be Sorrow, no more

There will be Sorrow
Yeah there will be Sorrow
And there will be Sorrow, no more

 

You hear that bell ringin
Don't you hear that whistle blow
Hear that bell ringin
Hear that whistle blow
I'm leavin' you baby, and I won't be back no more...

 

"One night while sleeping in my bed I had a beautiful dream
That all the people of the world got together on the same wavelength
And began helping one another
Now in this dream, universal love was the theme of the day
Peace and understanding and it happened this way"

The sick, the hungry, had smiles on their faces
The tired and the homeless had family all around
The streets and the cities were all beautiful places
And the walls came tumblin' down
People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
And the children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

I had a vision of blue skies from sea to shining sea
All the trees in the forest stood strong and tall again
Everything was clean and pretty and safe for you and me
The worst of enemies became the best of friends
People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

Remember that, remember that
Remember that, remember that
People of the world all had it together
Had it together for the boys and the girls
Children of the world look forward to a future

Remember
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away
Remember that
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock people, time's tickin' away

The night I laid my eyes on you,
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say

Then your love slowly moved right in
All this time all my love where you been

Mi amore dont you know
My love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mesmerised in every way
Keep me in a state of daze
Your kisses make my skin feel weak
Always melting in your heat

Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh I glide as I'm flying through heaven

Mi amore dont you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
Mi amore dont you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

La lalala lala lalala lala
La lalala lala lalala lala

Mi amore dont you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet


Mi amore dont you know
my love I want you so
Sugar you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet


Iio

I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

Well I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as she spread

Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress

Go

Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress

Well, I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death
One last caress

One last caress, sweet death
One last caress, sweet death

Oh oh oh oh oh

Third verse, same as the first! just last night, i was reminded of, just how bad it has gotten, and just how sick, i have become...

 

City bird haven't you heard
hasn't anybody told you?
These city blocks can't hold you
Your place is in the sky how can I show you?


City bird haven't you learned
of the boundlessness of your freedom
The sky is your blue kingdom
You neglect your wings like you don't need them


City bird maybe these hands that feed you need you
Maybe you understand that city bird........

 

I got holes in my pocket
Patches on my pants
I got holes in my pocket
Great big patches on my pants
I'm behind in my house rent
And I owe it all in advance

You know I feel like walkin'
And I feel like lyin' down
You know I feel like walkin', baby
And I feel like lyin' down
I feel like drinkin', but there ain't no whiskey round

Well I'm a poor boy

Long way from home
Well I'm a poor boy
Long way from home
.
Well now people ask me
What does a poor boy do
Well now people ask me
What does a poor boy do
.
Poor boy sews patches on his clothes
Stuffs newspaper down his shoes
