    So they released their second album this year...


    And once you you get over the fact that it's not as catchy as the first, it's one Hell of a fine album!

    More serious, better written, and more thought-provoking..



    Who else loves this band?

    Wanna talk about them with me?

    "Pins And Needles"


    Never understood how she could,
    Mean so little to so many
    Why does she mean everything to me?

    Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?
    For all of my insecurities
    How did I ever let you go?

    Questioning her good intention
    Jealousy's a bad invention
    When you push on glass, it's bound to break

    Even when she was defensive,
    It just gave me more incentive
    The more you squeeze, the more it slips away

    I never walked so far on a lonely street
    With no-one there for me
    Is it worth the pain, with no one to blame?

    For all of my insecurities
    How did I ever let you go?

    Accept this confession! ...I'm walking on pins and needles
    You're not my possession! ...I'm walking on pins and needles
    My conscience is vicious! ...I'm walking on pins and needles
    And I'm begging forgiveness! ...I'm walking on pins and needles

    I never walked so far on a lonely street,
    With no one there for me
    It took too long to see her in misery
    And now it's clear to me

    That it's worth the pain, always take the blame
    For all your own insecurities
    How did I ever let you go?

    That song was my apology to muffpoodle.. :H


    And she would have been too preoccupied to get the lyrics like I asked to, so thanks muchly LEFTofCenter..

    No surprises that the official website is http://www.billytalent.com and even thought not one of my favourite songs from the 2nd albums, I'll share the lyrics to Covered in Cowardice with you all ..

    Twisted tongues will place you in their category
    Face to face you'll hear them tell a different story
    Loose lips may sink ships, but honesty's forever
    Eyes of envy try to cut and try to sever

    Cowards that hide behind their words
    Don't care whose feelings will get hurt
    Beware the voice without a face
    That's hidden underneath the...

    Can't you see them?!

    (Covered in cowardice)
    Can't you see them?!
    (Covered in cowardice)
    Can't you hear them?!
    Cowards that hide behind their words
    Don't care whose feelings will get hurt
    Their eyes are blinded by their rage
    Beware the voice without a face

    When your insecure, they'll find the fuel to start a fire
    They're bitter pricks with only hatred to inspire
    Level heads prevail, revenge will make it better
    Trust your instinct like you trust what's in the mirror

    Cowards that hide behind their words
    Don't care whose feelings will get hurt
    Beware the voice without a face
    That's hidden underneath the...

    There ARE better songs, but it's up to LEFTofCenter to choose the next one

    Lies From their first album


    Forced conversation
    Hidden agenda
    You think we're stupid, how dare you
    The rug has not been pulled
    Over our eyes you fool
    We can see right through

    Tip-toeing villian
    Eyes in the ceiling
    Your false intentions have warn thin
    But we've been in your room and in your closet too
    We've got one on you

    Lies make it better
    Lies are forever
    Lies to go home to
    Lies you wake up to
    Lies from the alter
    Lies make you falter
    Lies keep your mouth fed
    Lies till your death bed
    Lies

    Inside an office, a fallen angel
    A smiling Buddha with snake eyes
    Creates the latest trends
    And i just cant pretend
    Dont call me your friend

    When all these
    Lies make it better
    Lies are forever
    Lies to go home to
    Lies you wake up to
    Lies from the alter
    Lies make you falter
    Lies keep your mouth fed
    Lies till your death bed

    Lies they make it better
    Lies they are forever
    Lies to go home to
    Lies you wake up to
    Lies from the alter
    Lies make you falter
    Lies keep your mouth fed
    Lies till your death bed
    LIES!

    Lies will come back to hunt you
    Bulletproof your limosine
    Lies will come back to haunt you
    Hit and run, a broken dream

    Lies make it better
    Lies are forever
    Lies to go home to
    Lies to wake up to
    Lies from the altar
    Lies make you falter
    Lies keep your mouth fed
    Lies till your death bed

    Lies they make it better
    Lies they are forever
    Lies to go home to
    Lies you wake up to
    Lies from the alter
    Lies make you falter
    Lies keep your mouth fed
    Lies till your death bed

    Lies

    ENJOY! :)

    fairytale

    I never thought the day would put a twist on what we thought was true
    I smile out loud just because of the way you make me feel the way you do
    Sprawled across my floor I wish that you would never have to leave my door
    But if the world held a grudge against you I'd hold a grudge against the world
    I wear my soul upon my sleeve
    I wear my sole upon my feet
    She said "I'll make you believe in what you see, I'll make you believe in what you can't"
    I gotta find my elf her little wings
    so she can fly above and sing
    I don't know what I know but I know I want you to be with me
    I see us walking hand in hand on the shore
    I see us walking I want more
    But if the world held a grudge against you I'd hold a grudge against the world
    I wear my soul upon my sleeve
    I wear my sole upon my feet
    She said "I'll make you believe in what you see, I'll make you believe in what you can't"
    The sun is coming up
    Everyday I feel the same and I feel as though things will never, ever, ever change

    Where would you find a better, more poingnant song about homelessness and prostitution?

    My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
    My looks and smile have now become my curse,
    Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street,
    Big car, little man, my lover for a fee...

    So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
    Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
    And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
    Oh pretty baby how could you!

    Standing in the rain...
    Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
    Standing in the rain...
    20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!

    My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
    No sun, my room has now become my hearse,
    Cold sores, I'm beat, got bruises on my feet,
    My pride, these men have taken it from me!

    So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
    Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
    And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
    Oh pretty baby how could you!

    Standing in the rain...
    Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
    Standing in the rain...
    20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!

    Standing in the rain...
    Standing in the rain...
    Standing in the rain...
    Milk carton mug shot baby mother I have lost my way...

    I'm glad you got them! and I'm pleased that you liked them. What tracks of the Canadian cd do you like the best? Did you like that alexisonfire song better than the one that you heard earlier? That's shitty that they didn't work correctly though....I will make some new ones and send them out with your dvds soon. I better get them out quick before you move or maybe your ex will burn them!! [​IMG]

    I think you better fly to Canada and come see Billy Talent with me in February before you become a family man....

    I often look on gig web sites for when they will "do" UK, or even Germany.. MAybe that wil be next year too eh?

    Oh, the highlight of that Canada cd for me for Sam Roberts' Bridge to Nowhere.. I found the cd gets better as it plays through the songs...

    The vocals of Stabilo and The Tragically Hip were amazing! And I'm glad you included a list of other stuff to lok for, even though I've not had time to yet..

    And I like Matthew Good Band alot too!

    Oh, I amlost forgot..

    I downloaded a few alexisonfire tracks awhile, maybe even the one you sent me..

    I'm getting to like them now though.. The lod "don't judge one side of anything" is certainly true... And their talent does shine through eventually :tongue:

    Fancy joining my "Keep American Bands Out Of Our Country" campaign?
