"Your fave songs and their lyrics"

I'm not sure if it's been done before, but I'd be interested to know exactly what kinds of music everyone's into, and what songs in particular they like.

So - if you can be bothered - tell me one of your favourite music tracks and if you like, tell me the lyrics too.

Here are 2 of my personal favourites:

---------
"All I Want" by The Offspring


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Day after day
Your whole life's a wreck
The powers that be just breath down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your dreams

So knock off your rules
Knock off your job
'Cos I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Just leave me alone
Not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled

It's all I want

How many times
Is it gonna change
Til someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by the rules now it's their turn to try

So knock off your rules
Knock off your job
'Cos I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Just leave me alone
Not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled

Said it before
I'll say it again
And if you'd just listen then it might make sense

So knock off your rules
Knock off your job
'Cos I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Just leave me alone
Not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled

It's all I want

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

"Gone Away" by The Offspring

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

Metallica - Sanatarium



Welcome to where time stands still
no one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, No windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred


Sleep my friend and you will see
that dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
can't they see it's why my brain says Rage


Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone


Build my fear of what's out there
and cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
assuring me that I'm insane
They think our heads are in their hands
but violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
he's getting better, can't you tell?


No more can they keep us in
Listen, damn it, we will win
They see it right, they see it well
but they think this saves us from our hell


Sanitarium, leave me be
Sanitarium, just leave me alone
Sanitarium, just leave me alone


Fear of living on
natives getting restless now
Mutiny in the air
got some death to do
Mirror stares back hard
Kill, it's such a friendly word
seems the only way
for reaching out again.

I think this is Dark Marks personal 'get my word count up' topic...

Jennifer Lopez feat. Jadakiss & Styles - Jenny From The Block




[Intro]
Children grow and women producing
Men go working, some go stealing
Everyone's got to make a living

[Verse]
[Jadakiss:] L-O-X... J.Lo...
Yea, yea, yo, yo
We off the blocks this year
[Styles P:] Went from a 'lil to a lot this year
[Jadakiss:] Everybody mad at the rocks that I wear
[Styles P:] I know where I'm goin' and I know where I'm from
You hear LOX in your ear
[Jadakiss:] Yea we're at the airport out
D-Glock from the block where everybody air-forced out
[Styles P:] With a new white Tee you fresh,
nothin' phoney with us Make the money,
get the mansion, bring the homies with us

[Chorus: J. Lo] (2x)
Dont be fooled by the rocks that I got
I'm still - I'm still Jenny from the block
Used to have a little now I have a lot
No matter where I go I know I came from (from the Bronx!)

[Verse: J. Lo]
From "In Livin' Color" to movie scripts
To "On the 6" to "J.Lo" to this
Headline clips
I stay grounded as the amounts roll in
I'm real I thought I told ya (I'm Real)
I'm real even on Oprah (I'm Real)
That's just me
Nothin' phony don`t hate on me
What you get is what you see, oh

[Chorus]

[Verse: J. Lo]
I'm down to earth like this
Rockin' this business
I've grown up so much
I'm in control and lovin it
Rumors got me laughin' kid
I love my life and my public
Put God first And can't forget to stay real
To me it's like breathing, yeahh

[Chorus]

[Verse]
[Jadakiss:] Yo, it take hard work to cash checks
So don't be fooled by the rocks that I got their assets
[Styles P:] You get back what you put out
If even if you take the good route
Can't count the hood out
[Jadakiss:] After a while you'll know who to blend with
Just keep it real with the ones came in with
[Styles P:] Best thing is to stay low, LOX and J.Lo
(Everyone's got to make a livin')

[Chorus] (2x)

House of the Rising Sun by the Animals

There is a house in New Orleans,
They call the rising Sun.
and it's been the ruin of many a poor boy,
and God, I know, I'm one.

My mother was a tailor,
She sewed my new blue jeans.
My father was a gambling man,
Down in New Orleans.

Now the only life a gambler knows,
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time when he is satisfied,
Is when he's stone drunk.

Oh mother, tell your children,
Not to do what I have done.
Don't spend your life in sin and misery,
In the house of the rising sun.

With one foot on the platform,
The other on the train.
I'm going back to New Orleans,
To wear that ball and chain.

The Offspring - "Self Esteem"

La la, la la la
La la, la la la

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
I practised all the things I would say
But she came over, I lost my nerve
I took her bag and made her desert
Well I know I'm being used
But that's ok man 'cos I like the abuse
And I know she's playing with me
But that's ok 'cos I got no self esteem

We make plans, go out at night
I wait til 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

When she's saying, oh that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer the more it shows you really care
Right, yeah

Now I'll relate this little bit
It happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night, she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Well I know I should say no, but
It's kinda hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

When she's saying, oh that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer the more it shows you really care
Right, yeah

The Offspring - "Smash"

Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I've held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up man so bad you can taste
I don't sl*g no one, I don't even judge
Don't give a **** 'cos I'm not gonna budge
I just wanna be who I wanna be
Guess it's hard for others to see

I'm not a trendy ***hole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy ***hole
Don't give a **** if it's good enough for you
'Cos I'm alive

Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashin' your strife
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just wanna be who I wanna be
Guess it's hard for others to see

I'm not a trendy ***hole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy ***hole
Don't give a **** if it's good enough for you
'Cos I'm alive

Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just wanna be who I wanna be
Guess it's hard for others to see

I'm not a trendy ***hole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy ***hole
Don't give a **** if it's good enough for you

I'm not a trendy ***hole
Do what I want, do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy ***hole
Don't give a **** if it's good enough for you
'Cos I'm alive
I am alive
I am alive
