"Favourite Song Lyrics"

Someone's done this before, and I thought I'd resurrect a good idea. C'mon, geddem in!

Here's my favourite at the moment, No Remorse (Metallica, 1983)

No mercy for what we are doing
No thought to even what we have done
We don't need to feel the sorrow
No remorse for the helpless one

War without end
No remorse no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath
No remorse no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath

Blood feeds the war machine
As it eats its way across the land
We don't need to feel the sorrow
No remorse is the one command

War without end
No remorse no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath
No remorse no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath

Only the strong survive
No will to save the weaker race
We are ready to kill all comers
Like a loaded gun right at your face

War without end
No remorse no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath
No remorse no repent
We don't care what it meant
Another day another death
Another sorrow another breath

Attack
Bullets are flying
People are dying
With madness surrounding all hell's breaking loose
Soldiers are hounding
Bodies are mounting
Cannons are shouting to take their abuse
With war machines going
Blood starts to flowing
No mercy given to anyone hear
The furious fighting
Swords are like lightning
It all becomes frightening
You know death is near
No remorse

Mad World - Gary Jules

All around me are familiar faces,
Worn out places,
Worn out faces

something...something...something

And I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad World...

Something something...

It's a great song but that's all of it I can remember heh.

Iron Man's not a great representation of Sabbath's lyrics. I mean it's about a guy who built a time machine, went to the future, saw the human race was doomed, came back and warned people, but they just laughed at him so he went a bit mad and killed them. Or something. But the underlying message is that people suffer for others and are completely ignored.

Spiral Architects got some great lyrics though:

Sorcerers of madness
Selling me their time
Child of god sitting in the sun
Giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Even fathers cry

Of all the things I value most of all
I look inside myself and see
My world and know that it is good
You know that I should

Superstitious century
Didn't time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disquise

Of all the things I value most in life
I see my memories and feel their warmth
And know that they are good
You know that I should

Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor - replay
Give, give, give!
Laughter kissing love
Is showing me the way
Spiral city architect
I build, you pay

Of all the things I value most of all
I look upon my earth and feel the warmth
And know that it is good

"He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind"

Yeah wow that's deep.

I like Black Sabbath - Iron Man's lyrics. It show's people's ingratitude, and the fact that they suffer for it.


Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We’ll just pass him there
Why should we even care?

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
Where he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Now the time is here
For iron man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again!

Glad someone mentioned Travis, I don't know why they don't get much recognition, their new album is a masterpiece.

Lostprophets - Still Laughing


Come take a look,
because all this could mean that I,
don't really care who ends up getting hurt
please take a look
if its judgment vs. instinct
how do I feel
when my feelings don't even work
know that i'll believe
cos i can see it in your smile
time stood still for me
when you call
said I
answer me this
yes all I have is questions
you cant slip away and hide behind a false truth
time takes too long
just seems like i'm still standing here now
and I can't even feel the rain that hits my shoes
know that i'll belive
cos I can see it in your eyes
time stood still for me
when you call

i'm still waiting
I still breathe
that's a sign that i'm still me
i'm still breathing
I can see
so I must be alive for real
when will I get there
I should be here by now
got it all worked out
did I see you laughing
yea funny, its not me
in time all I want is it away
gone too long and now its gone, its gone

i'm still waiting
I still breathe
that's a sign that i'm still me
i'm still breathing
I can see
so I must be alive for real
so I must be alive for real
yeah so I must be alive for real
so I must be alive for real

"I'd rather do you after school like some homework"

Ahh, yes it is.

Dave Mustaine also does the vocals you know.

"If it breaks when it bends, you'd better not put it in"

Aha! It's from '99 Ways To Die'.
