"Yer favourite lyrics"

Yes, I've had a skin full and am feeling mightily sentimental and empathic, but let's have your favourite songs, or just parts of the lyrics that speak to you .....

Okey dokey.

*sways with drunken-ness*

"HIC"

Rainbow- "Death Alley Driver"

Rough and ready rider
in a supersonic sound machine
Rock and Roll survivor
Chrome pipes between your knees
Running all the red lights
Your gonna make a dead stop
But you just can't see the signs
Oh - you'll never win the race
But you can't give up the chase

Death alley driver
Living at high speed
Death alley driver...Yeah
Death alley driver...who knows what you need
Death alley driver...

One hundred twenty five smokin' on the turns
Always on the hit and run
But you never learn...
Running from the man... and you're running
from yourself
Another dirty angel heading straight to hell
Oh - you'll never win the race
But you won't give up the chase

Death alley driver...
Live in overdrive...Death alley driver...yeah
Death alley driver...ride to stay alive
Death alley driver...
let's go

Red lights in the mirror
Danger on the band
Got to take a detour cause a road block's up ahead
He takes you on the corner with a wave of his hand
Death is in the back seat of a big old black sedan
Oh - you'll never win the race...
As you turn and see his face...

Death alley driver...
Movin' for the kill
Death alley driver...yeah
Death alley driver...
Time is standing still...
Death alley driver...

Always on the run cause you're a...
Death alley driver
Love the way it feels
Death alley driver...yeah
Death alley driver
Hell on wheels...
Death alley driver...

This is Crazy Now by Vonda Shepard

Blown like the wind, restless again
My only friend has gone away
Washed like the tide but I'm still alive
I'm gonna drive all night long

This is crazy now, I'll fill the space somehow
If there were some way to get through
This is crazy now, I'll fill the space somehow
I can't walk away from you

Shaken like a leaf, sharpened like a reef
All of my senses need relief
Looking out to sea, I still believe
That you and I were meant to be

This is crazy now, I'll fill the space somehow
If there were some way to get through
This is crazy now (like a finger paint)
Fill the space somehow (smearing in the rain)
I can't walk away from you (wash it all away)

This is crazy now (shaken like a leaf)
I'll fill the space somehow (sharpened like a reef)
I can't walk away from you

This is crazy now (shaken like a leaf)
Fill the space somehow (sharpened like a reef)
I can't walk away from you

"Separation" by Colorfinger

I wish I had the strength inside to make you go away
I wish I was immune
But ever since I met you drinking at the circle bar
I go where you will to keep from being ripped in two
I still smile when I think of 1986
You and me in that little room drunk on sex
And we'd fall asleep at every band we'd go to see
Easier to pass out than to deal with you and me alone.

Sitting in the dark drunk hearing John Doe sing
About poor little girls and silver wings
Yeah baby, something's got to give.

I wish I knew why you're so intent on breaking me
You act like a b!tch possessed
Yeah a b!tch possessed
I've had it up to here with your crazy ever-changing moods
I just take your worst while you just take my best
I've had enough
I've had enough
Yeah, I need a break

You're always out screwing around
While I'm hammering on the neighbor's door
Hoping they'll turn the Led Zepplin down

Something's got to give
Something somewhere's got to give
Yeah baby, something's got to give
Yeah, I think I need a break

Want to break you from the inside out
That smug complacent smile is reason enough
I want to cut the ties that bind my life
I want to break you in your prime

I wish I had in me the power to make you disappear
I wish I had control
I just want to walk away and never have to see or hear
About you, all the things you say that I don't really want to know

Yeah, what you say, what you do, where you go
Everything I loved about you was just for show
Oh, baby, something's gotta give
Something somewhere's gotta give
Yeah, baby, something's gotta give
Yes, I think we need a break
I need to separate
I need to separate from you
I need to seperate

"21st Century (Digital Boy)" by Bad Religion

I can't believe it
The way you look sometimes
Like a trampled flag on a city street
Oh yeah
And I don't want it
The things you're offering me
Symbolized bar code quick ID
Oh yeah

'Cos I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery, yeah?

I can't explain it
The things they're saying to me
It's going yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah

'Cos I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery, yeah?

Tried to tell you about no control
But now I really don't know
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
Is that really all you have to offer?

See I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual

Ain't life a mystery, yeah?

Uriah Heep- "Easy Livin'" (Hensley)

This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind ya
Easy livin and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'!

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind you
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart

"Inner Logic" by Bad Religion

Automatons with business suits swinging black boxes,
Sequestering the blueprints of daily life.
Content and free of care they rejoice in morning ritual,
As they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky.

I don’t ask questions, don’t promote demonstration,
Don’t look for new consensus and don’t stray from constitution.
If I pierce the complexity I won’t find salvation,
Just the bold and overt truth of the evil and deception.

There is an inner logic,
And we’re taught to stay far from it.
It is simple and elegant,
But it’s cruel and antithetic,
And there’s no effort to reveal it.

Graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos,
In sagacious dialogue they despise their average ways.
Portraying pomp and discipline they mould their institution,
Where they practice exclusion on the masses every day.

I don’t ask questions, don’t promote demonstration,
Don’t look for new consensus and don’t stray from constitution.
If I pierce the complexity I won’t find salvation,
Just bold and overt truth of the evil and deception.

There is an inner logic,
And we’re taught to stay far from it.
It is simple and elegant,
But it’s cruel and antithetic,
And there’s no effort to reveal it.

Decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavements,
Simulating tyranny under red alert.
Protecting the opulent and staging moral standard,
They expect redemption of character and self-worth.

There is an inner logic,
(I don’t ask questions, don’t promote demonstration)
And we’re taught to stay far from it.
(Don’t look for new consensus and don’t stray from constitution)
It is simple and elegant,
(If I pierce the complexity I won’t find salvation)
But it’s cruel and antithetic.
(Just the bold and overt truth of the evil and deception)

There is an inner logic,
(No equality, no opportunity)
And we’re taught to stay far from it.
(No tolerance for the progressive alternative)
It is simple and elegant,
(No equality, no opportunity)
But it’s cruel and antithetic.
(No tolerance for the progressive alternative)

And there’s no effort to reveal it.

UFO- "Rock Bottom"

Seventeen a nature’s queen, know what I mean
Twenty one, a long one,
And you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful, lyin’ there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow work is closin’ in above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin’ down free to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock
Heaven don’t open when you knock

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

With all darkness closin’ in
Will the light reveal your soul
One sweet kiss on your clay cold lips
I’ll know sleep you’ll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Manic Street Preachers - Faster

I hate purity, hate goodness
I don't want virtue to exist anywhere
I want everyone corrupt

I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me primitive
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession honey and I do as I please
A morality obedient only to the cleansed repented

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell

The first time you see yourself naked you cry
Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly this mute solitude I'm draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I've been too honest with myself
I should have lied like everybody else

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes that learnt how to spell, learnt to spell

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

"Stranger Than Fiction" by Bad Religion

A febrile shocking violent smack
And the children are hoping for a heart attack
Tonight the windows are watching
The streets all conspire
And the lamppost can't stop crying
If I could fly high above the world
Would I see a bunch of living dots spell the world "stupidity"?
Or would I see hungry lover homicides
Loving brother suicides
And olly olly oxenfrees
Who pickaside and hide?

The world is scratching at my door
My morning paper's got the scores
The human interest stories
And the obituary

Cockroach naps, rattling traps
How many devils can you fit upon a match head?
Caringosity killed the kerouac cat
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

In my alley around the corner
There's a wino with feathered shoulders
And a spirit giving head for crack and he'll never want it back
There's a little kid and his family eating crackers like Thanksgiving
And a pack of wild desperados scornful of living

The world is scratching at my door
My morning paper has the scores
The human interest stories
And the obituary

Cradle for a cat, wolfe looks back
How many angels can you fit upon a match?
I want to know why Hemingway cracked
Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction

Life is the crummiest book I ever read
There isn't a hook
Just a lot of cheap shots
Pictures to shock
And characters an amateur would never think of

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction
