"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.

"B**tard Wants to Hit Me" by They Might Be Giants

He says he knows me
But I don't know that guy
He's waving at me
But he looks kind of mad

Some crazy b**tard wants to hit me
He's waving me over so he can hit me
But I don't know that guy
But I'm not going over there
Some crazy b**tard wants to hit me

How have we come to this pass?
How can I get to my car?
Climb in, turn the ignition
Pull onto the highway
Where I am free

Some crazy b**tard wants to hit me
He's waving me over so he can hit me
And who the hell is he?
I can't believe this is happening
That crazy b**tard wants to hit me

Is it worth the Aggrevation
to find yourself a job when there's nothing worth living for?
I was looking for some action
but all I found was Cigarettes and Alcohol.

Metallica- "Enter Sandman" (James Hetfield/Lars Ulrich)


Say your prayers little one
Don’t forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Something’s wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of snow white
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon’s fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never never land

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the lord my soul to take

Hush little baby, don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to never never land

Don't You (forget About Me) / Simple Minds

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby


Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on


Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby


Don't you forget about me
Don't don't don't don't
Don't you forget about me


Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down


Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down


Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....

"Experimental Film" by They Might Be Giants

The colour of infinity
Inside an empty glass
I'm squinting my eye
And turning off and on
And on and off the light

It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which
I'm still figuring out what's going to go
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

I already know the ending
It's the part that makes your face implode
I don't know what makes your face implode
But that's the way the movie ends

And in my experimental film
Which nobody knows about but which
I'm still figuring out, your face implodes
At my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it--
Even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

The color of infinity
Inside an empty glass
It's for this experimental film
Which nobody knows about and which
I'm still figuring out what's going to go
In my experimental film

Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's gonna--
Yeah, you're gonna be in this experimental film
And even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it--
Even though I can't explain it
I already know how great it's

Iron Maiden- "Paschendale"

In a foreign field he lay
lonely soldier unknown grave
on his dying words he prays
tell the world of Paschendale

Relive all that he's been through
last communion of his soul
rust your bullets with his tears
let me tell you 'bout his years

Laying low in a blood filled trench
killing time 'til my very own death
on my face I can feel the falling rain
never see my friends again
in the smoke, in the mud and lead
smell of fear and feeling of dread
soon be time to go over the wall
rapid fire and the end of us all

Whistles, shouts and more gun fire
lifeless bodies hang on barbwire
battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
be reunited with my dead friends soon
many soldiers eighteen years
drown in mud, no more tears
surely a war no one can win
killing time about to begin

Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again

The bodies of ours and our foes
the sea of death it overflows
in no man's land God only knows
into jaws of death we go...

Crucified as if on a cross
allied troops, they mourn their loss
German war propaganda machine
such before has never been seen
swear I heard the angels cry
pray to God no more may die
so that people know the truth
tell the tale of Paschendale

Cruelty has a human heart
everyman does play his part
terror of the men we kill
the human heart is hungry still

I stand my ground for the very last time
gun is ready as I stand in line
nervous wait for the whistle to blow
rush of blood and over we go...

Blood is falling like the rain
its crimson cloak unveils again
the sound of guns can't hide their shame
and so we die on Paschendale

Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
running straight at cannon fire
running blind as I hold my breath
say a prayer symphony of death
as we charge the enemy lines
a burst of fire and we go down
I choke a cry but no one hears
feel the blood go down my throat

Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again
Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again

See my spirit on the wind
across the lines beyond the hill
friend and foe will meet again
those who died at Paschendale

"Supersonic" by Bad Religion

Well am I making haste or could it be haste is making me?
What's time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in?
I gotta go faster
Keep up the pace
Just to stay in the human race

I could go supersonic
The problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate
Into oblivion
Into oblivion

Well here I go again
Everything is alien
How does it feel to be outstripped by the pace of cultural change?
My deeds are senseless and rendered meaningless
When measured in that vein

I could go supersonic
The problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate
Into oblivion

I won't lie (pace setters, go-getters)
It's exciting (rat racers, forgetters)
When I try (researchers, berserkers)
To decide things (strategies to help the workers)
I just wanna live (new time saving devices)
Decently (quick vices; no crisis)
Meaningfully (brevity, dependency)
I'm in misery (digital efficiency)

I could go supersonic
The problem's chronic
Tell me does life exist beyond it?
When I need to sate, I just accelerate
Into oblivion
Into oblivion

Saxon- "Wheels Of Steel"

When my foot's on the throttle there's no looking back
I leave my motor ticking over when she's parked on the track
I've got a sixty eight Chevvy with pipes on the side
You know she's my idea of beauty and that's what I drive

She's got wheels, wheels of steel
Talkin' 'bout my wheels of steel

I don't take no jibe from no motorway pigs
When I'm cruisin' down the freeway I don't give no lifts
If you see me comin' get out of my way
You know a Transam didn't I blew it away

She's got wheels, wheels of steel
Talkin' 'bout my wheels of steel

Pure Pleasure Seeker by Moloko


Yeah.
Gotta get me some
Gotta get me instant gratification.
Gimme new kicks,
Won't you show me new tricks
Without the ramifications.
Give it a try, don't be shy.
Well you know you might like it.
Never been too keen a timekeeper
But I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
All the way from Venus.
Invading from Mars.
Don't let that come between us.
It's written in the stars.
Save me from fading afraid.
The tears of a fool on parade.
Quietly turn into stone.
Make me flesh and bone.
Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it now
Well come on, yeah.
You know that you want it and how.
Stimulation in body and cell.
For the good and misguided.
Desperation I'm under your spell.
Misunderstood and derided.
Speculation they kiss and they tell.
Misjudged and misquoted.
Fell into the abyss
I must have wanted this.
Another myth exploded.
Take a weight off your mind.
Trust the voice of experience.
I'll tell you little white lies.
Viva indifference.
Stoke up the fire
I'm all you require.
They won't set you alight.
Come and live your desire.
Come make me whole.
Body and soul, come make me whole ...
YEAH.
Well come on, oh, oh.
You know that you want it now.
Well come on, oh.
You know that you want it and how.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.
Well come yeah
You know that you want it now.
Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been too keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
Be crime against passion
Not to itch that itch
Oh don't ask how it happened
This is it
All we have ever wanted
All we will ever need
Nothing can take his plan
It's written all over your face
Yeah
You know that you want it now
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it and how.
Come on
Yeah you know that you want it now.
Come on
Oh ah you know that you want it and how.
Gimme new kicks
I wanna go deeper
Never been to keen a timekeeper
Show me new tricks
You can get me on the beeper
I'm a pure new pleasure seeker.
Come make me whole
Body and soul...

"Cease" by Bad Religion

Blacktop pavement cover me
Like a chemical reaction or a steam roller
Spinning randomly
There's a distant buzz and low frequency
It tickles my ear and it rumbles under my feet
And it shakes the leaves off of every tree
(Violently)
What pretension! Everlasting peace?
Everything must cease

Institution on the hill
Like a beacon in the mind of an ancestor
To ignite a people's will
There's a shadowed stain on the west facade
It has spread like decay to enshroud the fraud
And the descendants find it oh so odd
(Oh so odd)
What pretension! Everlasting peace?
Everything must cease

Grave memorial hewn white stone
Like the comforting caress of a mother
Or a friend you've always known
It evokes such pain and significance
What was once is reduced to remembrance
And the generations pass without recompense
What pretension! Everlasting peace?
Everything must cease

What pretension! Everlasting peace?
Everything must cease
