All The Good Guys Are Dead And I'm Twisting My Moustache (Bombs Over Providence)
So it's true: 1989 really is that far away and I wouldn't care, had I not the fortune to be shown the history of memory lost.
The sky is falling down and we're being convinced that it's rain, with ideals as parasols we're soaked all the same.
Questioning what we've always known.
Here I reconcile the difference between my concern and long weekend discussions of our weakest ends, and parlour room socialism; activist party tricks.
I'll cut dead the pitch and wane of 10,000 voices screaming, and I'll draw blood from the claims that Tiananmen isn't everywhere.
Beauty is a weapon.
Spark the fuse and we could be: just enough, just in time, just of thought.
Knowing that all this belongs to us.
We will not be sold away on this forum of rights exchange.
Where have all the students gone?
Have we been bought as well?
Did we die?
Are we as guilty?
And we'll burn before we learn, we'll fan these burning textbook pages keeping us awake.
Nice Legs, Shame About The Face (The Monks)
Met her on a blind date, helping out an old mate
Waiting at the corner, she's be dressed in black
There was I expecting a really tasty bird
He said she was good looking, I should have doubt his word
When I saw her there she was a real disgrace
I thought nice legs shame about the face
I had to take her dancing, I couldn't let her down
So we caught the bus to the other side of town
Out upon the dance floor, I wasn't getting far
So I had a drink with my friends up at the bar
I asked them what they thought of her they fell about the place
And they said nice legs shame about her face
She said could we go bowling,
I said that would be fine
But when I bought the tickets
She'd already changed her mind
She was turning out to be a real hard case
Nice legs shame about the boat race
Downed a gin and soda, tapped me on the shoulder
Whispered in my ear it's getting kind of late
When I took her home we hardly said a thing
I walked her to the door, expected to go in
She looked me up and down and really put me in my place
She said nice legs shame about your face
Nice legs shame about your face
Blowin' Free (Wishbone Ash)
I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her.
I thought I had a girl
And all because I seen her.
Her hair was golden brown (yes it was)
Blowin' free like a cornfield.
She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.
In my dreams everything was all right -
In your schemes you can only try.
I Never Told You What I Do For A Living (My Chemical Romance)
Stay out of the lights
or the photographs that I gave you
you can say a prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and I'll be you
Can I meet you alone?
Another night and I'll see you
Another night and I'll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off, I'm so dirty babe
The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the dirt
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far to bury them
So deep and down we go
Just like angels do
I fall out of grace
I been it all so maybe I'd move this everyday
Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off, I'm so dirty babe
It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and lose
Only go so far to bury them
So deeper down we go
Down and down we go
It's down we go
It's down we go
AND WE ALL FALL DOWN!
(repetitive violent screaming)
And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death
We'll love again
We'll laugh again
And it's better off this way
Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
We're dead
One more night
One more night
We'll I'll stop crying
I'll stop laughing
Well I tried, well I tried
Cause I tried, but I lied
Well I tried
Well I tried
Well I said
Well...
And we'll love again
We'll laugh again
We'll cry again
And we'll dance again
And it's better off this way, so much better of this way
I can't clean the blood off the sheets in my bed!
Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Hello Stupid (Slick Shoes)
I think I'm going to lose my mind
If I screw up just one more time
But as long as you're with me
I'll be alright
Seems like I gimped over every day
Don't you wish that I'd just go away
Sometimes I don't know what
But I know you're always there
I hope it never seems that I do not care for you
You know it's true
I'll always be running up aside you and
When you go be up I want to be there
I've always wanted
I've always wanted this
Open up my eyes
I wanna see your face
Cuz I know you'll be there
When nothing else stays
No matter what the time
You've always been with me
Tears Of Babylon (Lana Lane)
The ship touched down leaving a blue-green haze
Breaking silence all around
Their shining armor set the stars ablaze
As feet of chrome touch the ground
Their final journey done
Their nightmare found
Tears of Babylon
As the ashes fall
Flowers bloom no more
Gone are castle walls
Thet stand beside a stone once great and tall
Amid dried river bed and streams
Now nothings left but empty water falls
That once bathed many Pharoahs' queens
Their final journey done
Their nightmare found
Tears of Babylon
As the ashes fall
Flowers bloom no more
Gone are castle walls
Inside the ship
They set a course for home
Mourning life's final flame
Far in the distance
Their fate is know
Never finding whose to blame
Their final journey done
Their nightmare found
Tears of Babylon
As the ashes fall
Flowers bloom no more
Gone are castle walls
It Ain't Over Yet (Zero Down)
I may be getting old but I'm far from out of angst
because the problems that I face on the day to day don't go away.
Life it ain't so civilized when it comes down to survive
and I've had the ones that I thought as family push me to the side.
I'm still in debt I can't pay my rent, my teeth are rotting in my head.
I may be getting old, but it ain't over yet.
I got so much left to say, I can't believe I'm here again
right back where I started from with an ego left to mend.
We started out as friends and in the end I hope to be
but the problems that you hope to fix won't go away with me.
I'm uninsured I'm overdrawn I'm as broke as one can get.
I may be getting old, but it ain't over yet.
What happens when the dreams of fame and fortune don't come true.
And work replaces everything in life you live to do.
When the romance is gone,
the road gets long and the numbers are all you've got
and the hour that you spent on stage doesn't add up to what you thought.
So you can fill my shoes with a fresh new face
you can talk all the shit you want,
but you can't replace my dignity or the feelings in my heart.
Life can be unfair sometimes it's a fact I've had to accept.
But in everything that I've given up I've gained my self respect.
Sophomore Slum Of Comeback Of The Year (Fall Out Boy)
Are we growing up or just going down
It's just a matter of time until we're all found out
Take our tears and put them on ice
I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
We're the therapists pumping through your speakers
Delivering just what you need
We're well read and poised
We're the best boys
We're the chemists who've found the formula
To make your heart swell and burst
No matter what they say, don't believe a word
Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you'll keep believing it
We're traveled like gypsies
Only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love
But then we grew old
We're the lifers here til the bitter end
Condemned from the start
Ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts
Are we growing up or just going down
Its just a matter of time until were all found out
take our tears and put them on ice
Id burn this city down to show you the light
Theres a drug in the thermostat to warm the room up
And another around to help us bend your trust
Ive got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
The best part of "Believe" is the "Lie,"
I hope you sing along and you steal a line
I need to keep you like this in my mind
So give in or just give up
Better Days (Pete Murray)
And I saw it coming
I saw emptiness and tragedy
And I felt like running so far away
Then I knew I had to stay
And I know when I'm older
I'll look back and I'll still feel the pain
I know I'll be stronger and I know I'll be fine
For the rest of my days
(Chorus):
I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through 'til the end
I notice most things
But I didn't notice the change
It was hot in the morning
Then it turned so cold
'Twas the end of the day
There was no condensation
I felt like I was in space
I needed friends there, I just turned around
They were gone without a trace
(Chorus)
Now I have just started
And I won't be done 'til the end
There's nothing I have lost
There was once placed upon my hands
And all of these hard times
Have faded 'round the bend
Now that I'm wiser I cannot wait
'Til I can help my friends
(Chorus) [2x]
Seen better
Brand New Jones (Robin Thicke)
Some like to keep heat on
Some never hot enough
See I sleep with nothing on
Cuz I'm always burnin up
But we all wanna try
To see each other's side
And I'll try
Til she takes my pillow
mmm
She'll say I'm lucky
She'll say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
see see
but everyday
ain't the same
ain't the same
ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
when I get time to play
I've got a brand new jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang alone
Some like a sweet romance
and some wanna travel far
but I like a three point stance
and I hate to drive my car
But I'd go round the world
Just to please my girl
and I'll fly
if she takes my pillow
Ooh
She'll say I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without her
but everyday
I feel like a puppy
when I get time to play
I've got a brand new jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, yeah, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
So why don't I just
save time and reveal now
Cuz sooner or later she'll
know the deal
She'll wonder why
the bed jumps so high
when she sleeps at night
oh yeah yeah
oooh
Tells me I'm lucky
Then say I'm the man
We'll talk on for hours
As long as I understand
I'd go on without it
see see
but everyday
I.. no...
ain't the same
ain't the same
I feel like a puppy
When I get time to play
I've got a brand new jones
And nobody even knows
When my baby is gone
It's my thang, my thang
Sometimes I can't let go
So I've got to be alone
When my baby is gone
It's my thang my thang alone
I've got this brand new jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
you know it
I've got this brand new jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
you know it
I've got this brand new jones
Leave me on my own
Love love baby
you know it
