"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.

"HIC"

The Impression That I Get

By The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Have you ever been close to tragedy
Or been close to folks who have
Have you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad i haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
that's the impression that I get
have you ever had the odds stacked up so high
You need a strength most don't possess
Or has it ever come down to do or die
You've got to rise above the rest
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
that's the impression that I get
I'm not a coward,
I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was,
I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go
I might be a cowards,
I'm afraid of what I might find out
I've never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if i could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad i haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get

Super Furry Animals - It's Not The End of The World?

Why?
Why?

When you fall asleep at the end of the day,
You start to worry,
Like when the taxi comes to take you away,
When you're in no hurry.

Yet as our hair turns white,
All the stars still shine so bright, above.

At least, it's not the end of the world.

Why?

We could live it large 'cause we're only old once,
Let's make a difference,
Turn all the hate in the world into a mocking bird,
Make it fly away.

Yet as our hair turns grey,
Everything is far from A, A, A-Ok.

At least, it's not the end of the world,
Oh no, no
At least, it's not the end of the world.


And some over the top, genuine sentimental crap:

Super Furry Animals - Fire in my Heart

I've got a fire in my heart for you,
I've got a fire in my heart for you,
I've got a fire in my heart, though I'm falling apart,
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you.

I got pins and needles for you,
I got pins and needles for you,
You've got needles and pins, and the seven deadly sins,
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you.

I've a butterfly stomach for you,
I've a butterfly stomach for you,
And as the cars fly by, I just break down and cry,
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you.

Well the monkey puzzle tree, has some questions,
For the watchdogs of the profane,
And I ask is it sad? That I'm driving myself mad,
As this fire in my heart turns blue.

I've. Got. A. Fire in my heart for you,
I've got a fire in my heart for you,
I've got a fire in my heart for you,
I've got a fire in my heart for youuuuuu.

Whitesnake- Still of the Night (David Coverdale/Jon Sykes)

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more

In the shadow of night
I see the full moon rise
Telling me what’s in store,
My heart start aching
My body start a shaking
And I can’t take no more, no, no

Now I just wanna get close to you
An’ taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat...

In the still of the night...
In the still of the night...
Over here baby...

In the heat of the day
I hang my head down low
And hide my face from the sun
Through the light of the day
Until the evening time
I’m waiting for the night to come

In the still of the night,
In the cool moonlight,
I feel heart is aching
In the still of the night...

Tell me here baby

In the still of the night
I hear the wolf howl, honey
Sniffing around your door...
In the still of the night
I feel my heart beating heavy
Telling me I gotta have more...

Now I just wanna get close to you
An’ taste your love so sweet
And I just wanna make love to you
Feel your body heat.

In the still of the night...

Still of the night,
Still of the night,
Still of the night...

'I'd rather be in tokyo,
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy-o
Watch a sunday (blah blah blah blah blah blah)
there's something wrong with me,
I'm a cuckoo'

Have Everclear released a new album?

I really haven't been into them recently.

"Your New Disease" by Everclear

I heard the news today
All about your new disease
This is what you said you wanted
When you walked away from me

I heard the news today
Yeah I know what your friends all say
That I'm gonna go to Hell
They are probably right
I just wanna go to Hell my way

I just wanna do it my way

I heard the news today
All about your new romance
There was always gonna be someone better than me
I guess I never had a chance

Yes I heard the news today
You are living by the sound of the bell
I still believe that life gets better
When you tell the world to go to Hell

Oh I don't wanna play your game
I don't wanna live that way
I don't wanna do what you tell me to do
I don't fit inside the box you've made

No I will never play your game
No I will never live that way
I don't wanna do what you tell me to do
I just wanna do it my way

Oh my way
I wanna do it my way
Oh my way
I wanna do it my way
I wanna do it my way
I wanna do it my way

Yes I heard the news today
You got scars on your hands and knees
You never would've been so obvious
When I was your new disease

Yes I heard the news today
You are living by the sound of the bell
I still believe that life gets better
When you tell the world to go to Hell

Oh I don't wanna play your game
I don't wanna live that way
I don't wanna do what you tell me to do
I don't fit inside the box you've made

No I will never play your game
No I will never live that way
No I don't wanna do what you tell me to do
I just wanna live my way

Oh my way
Oh my way
Oh my way
Oh my way
Oh my way

I wanna live my way
Yeah I don't wanna live the way you want me to live

I wanna live my way
I wanna live my way
I wanna live my way
I wanna live my way

Yes, but did you really have to post that much?

Anyhow, might as well balance it all out with some of my favourite lyrics. :)

Black Sabbath- Headless Cross (Cottle/Iommi/Martin/Nichols/Powell)

Look through the people, and on through the mist
to the hill of the headless cross
Where all witches meet, on a night such as this
and the power of darkness is host
They come face to face, eye to eye, soul to soul
with and Angel that fell from the sky
Borne on the air, the screams and the wails
of the masses appointed to die

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross

From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's been no escape from the power of Satan
on a nation so brave and so proud

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross

How do you feel, when the locks refuse the key
and the master is calling your name
Does the luck of the charm, really keep you from harm?
does the talisman protect you from pain?

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross

From the first evil night, when a black flash of light
cut the crucifix half to the ground
There's no escaping the power of Satan
on a nation so brave and so proud

Listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder
Watch as the legions ride again to a fate of death or torture, oh no, oh
At the Headless Cross, at the Headless Cross
At the Headless Cross, oh, at the Headless Cross
Where will you run to?
At the Headless Cross
Look, to the Headless Cross

Thats some of my fave lyrics

The tax man's taken all my dough,
And left me in my stately home,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
And I can't sail my yacht,
He's taken everything I've got,
All I've got's this sunny afternoon.

Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

My girlfriend's run off with my car,
And gone back to her ma and pa,
Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty.
Now I'm sitting here,
Sipping at my ice cold beer,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.

Help me, help me, help me sail away,
Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay.
'Cause I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze.
I got a big fat mama trying to break me.
And I love to live so pleasantly,
Live this life of luxury,
Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
In the summertime
In the summertime
In the summertime

Well, lived my life and never stopped to worry 'bout a thing
Opened up and shouted out and never tried to sing
Wondering if I'd done wrong
Will this depression last for long?

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Well, once we had an easy ride and always felt the same
Time was on our side and I had everything to gain
Let it be like yesterday
Please let me have happy days

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Ma and Pa look back at all the things they used to do
Didn't have no money and they always told the truth
Daddy didn't have no toys
And mummy didn't need no boys

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?

Well, yesterday was such an easy game for you to play
But let's face it things are so much easier today
Guess you need some bringing down
And get your feet back on the ground

Won't you tell me
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone
