[Drama Queen]

Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight
With the people all working by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
But there's gangs of them digging for gold in the street
At least when I asked them that's what I was told
I'll just try my hand at this digging for gold
But all that I found there, I might as well be
Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

Mountains of Mourne - Irish traditional

[chunkylover]

Stab your dagger right through my heart and twist
Does this turn you on?
Follow it up by punching my face with your fists
Does this turn you on?
Now on the ground, cut open both of my wrists
Does this turn you on?
Say you love me and suffocate me with a kiss
Whatever turns you on!

Here's to you - Zebrahead

[The Binge]

"A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide, "

No Surprises by Radiohead


"Maybe misery
Is what I need to keep my sanity
And I don't mean if things don't go my way
I'll be pleased to meet you
And maybe yesterday
Was a day that I could get away
Now today I'm stuck in sanity
And I'm pleased to meet you"

Maybe Misery by Quietdrive

[Kendell Smith]

Oh Mary this London's a wonderful sight
With the people all working by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley, nor wheat
But there's gangs of them digging for gold in the street
At least when I asked them that's what I was told
I'll just try my hand at this digging for gold
But all that I found there, I might as well be
Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea

Mountains of Mourne - Irish traditional

Aww I was only talking about this song during the week. It refers to how when Irish people had to move to England to make money and the majority worked in constuction hense the 'there's gangs of them digging for gold on the street'.

I love it, and the thing that pisses me off most is that it's hard to download a good version of it (for free at least). I was also being lazy when I just labeled it as Irish Traditional... twas penned by Percy French. Anyway, yeah the lyrics are amazing, most people are familiar with the above, being the 1st verse but if you google or wiki it or whatever they are calling it these days it's worth reading the other verses, very well written, great wit involved, but touching as well.

And yeah, I was a Mick in England before I became a Mick in America

[Rae]

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams, she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannonball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Someday you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky

- Champagne Supernova, Oasis

[Hondo]

I know you said no whole songs, but...

This song, I can identify with just about every line of it (at least, at one point or another in life)

So with my apologies....



It's all or nothin'
And nothin's all I ever get,
Every time I turn it I burn it up and burn it out

There's always something,
There's always something going wrong.
That's the only guarantee, that's what this is all about.

It's a never ending attack.
Everything's a lie and that's a fact.
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

And all the morons,
and all the stooges with their coins,
Their the ones who make the rules, it's not a game it's just a rout

There's desperation, (there's desperation)
There's desperation in the air.
It leaves a stain on all your clothes and no detergent gets it out.

And we're always slippin' through the cracks.
Then the movie's over, fade to black.
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

What about love?
It's defective!
It's always breakin' in half.

What about sex?
It's defective!
It's never built to really last.

What about your family?
It's defective!
All the batteries are shot.

What about your friends?
Their defective!
All the parts are out of stock.

What about your town?
It's defective!
It's a dead end street to me.

What about your school?
It's defective!
t's a pack of useless lies.

What about your work?
It's defective!
It's a crock and then you die.

What about hope?
It's defective!
It's corroded and decayed.

What about faith?
It's defective!
It's tattered and it's frayed.

What about your chilhood?
It's defective!
It's dead and buried in the past.

What about your future?
It's defective!
And you can shove it up your ASS!

-Meat Loaf "Life is a Lemon (And I Want My Money Back)"

[Goldferg]

Now I've swung back down again it's worse than it was before,
If I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor
- 'Sit Down', James

This Bed is on Fire with passionate love,
The Neighbours complain about the noises above,
But she only comes when she's on top.
- 'Laid', James

Is it worth the aggrovation,
To find yourself a job when there's nothing worth working for?
- 'Cigarettes & Alcohol', Oasis

More for Gore or the son of a drug lord,
None of the above, fuck it, cut the cord.
- 'Guerilla Radio', Rage Against the Machine

And it's so easy when you're evil,
This is the life you see, the Devil tips his hat to me.
I do it all because I'm Evil.
And I do it all for free,
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need.
- 'When You're Evil', Voltaire

[Drama Queen]

"Now don't try to kid me, Man Cub
I made a deal with you
What I desire
Is man's red fire
To make my dreams come true

Give me the secret, Man Cub
C'mon clue me what to do
Give me the power
Of Man's red flower
So I can be like you"

penned by Robert and Richard Sherman for Disney's "The Jungle Book"

pretty hard hitting  and elegant observation for a kid's movie

[Ally]

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again

- Joy Division "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll

- Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven"

Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I'm crying.

Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
Coo coo kachoo ka coo coo kachoo

- The Beatles "I am the Walrus"

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

- The Cure "Just Like Heaven"

Sippin Whiskey out the bottle
Not thinking about tomorrow
Singing 'Sweet Home Alabama' all summer long.

"I will turn, I will turn your tide
Do all that I can to heal you inside
I will be the angel on your shoulder
My name is Geraldine, I'm your social worker."

Geraldine by Glasvegas.

[Rae]

"There's this whispering of jokers doing flesh by the pound
To a chorus of supposes from the little town whores
There'll be twisted karaokee at the Aniseed lounge
And I'll bring you further roses
But it does you no good
And it does me no good
And it does you no good

There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I cannot help but fall"

- Grounds for Divorce, Elbow

[Goldferg]

Sail into battle,
Glory and metal!
- 'Huntmaster' by Alestorm

Up from the bowels of Hell he sailed
Wielding a tankard of freshly brewed ale
Slaying all foes in his path
Those who might hinder his god-given task
To bring back beer to the lands of the free
This is his quest, his true destiny
The legends shall speak of his name
Hail the Huntmaster, whith honor and fame
- 'Huntmster'(again) - by Alestorm
