Cemetary Gates

A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day
so I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
while Wilde is on mine

So we go inside and we gravely read the stones
all those people all those lives
where are they now?
with the loves and hates
and passions just like mine
they were born
and then they lived and then they died
seems so unfair
and I want to cry

You say: "ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
and you claim these words as your own
but I've read well, and I've heard them said
a hundred times, maybe less, maybe more

If you must write prose and poems
the words you use should be your own
don't plagiarise or take "on loans"
there's always someone, somewhere
with a big nose, who knows
and who trips you up and laughs
when you fall
who'll trip you up and laugh
when you fall

You say: "ere long done do does did"
words which could only be your own
and then you then produce the text
from whence was ripped some dizzy whore, 1804

A dreaded sunny day
so let's go where we're happy
and I meet you at the cemetery gates
Oh Keats and Yeats are on your side

A dreaded sunny day
so let's go where we're wanted
and I meet you at the cemetery gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side
but you lose because Wilde is on mine

WHY IS THIS SONG SO ADDICTING?! gonk

Savage Garden

The Animal Song

When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
the television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now

Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand

Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind

When Superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak show cops and robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human
There's a thought, now you decide

Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands
Would you like to make a run for it
Would you like to take my hand

Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
Cause I want to live like animals
Careless and free like animals
I want to live
I want to run through the jungle
With the wind in my hair!

Rise Against

Swing Life Away
Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away [x4]

Trading Yesterday

Under My Skin

Shadow days come to haunt me here
To wrap around me
Dark and cold to hide the sunlight from my eyes

I can not see beyond these clouds surrounding
I will not forget that this is not the end

Under my skin
Under these scars
Take me again
Tear me apart
Cause I wanna see
Everything you are
Til all that's left
Is not myself

This is life every second here
Gripping tighter
Empty praise to all the things I fear inside

But I know that you will rise up from these ashes
Tomorrow will be the light that guides me

Under my skin
Under these scars
Take me again
Tear me apart
Cause I wanna see
Everything you are
Til all that's left
Is not myself

Take away everything
Burn away all of me
As I break I believe
You will come to rescue

Under my skin
Under these scars
Take me again
Tear me apart
Cause I wanna see
Everything you are
Til all that's left
Is not myself

Under my skin
Under these scars
Take me again
Tear me apart
Cause I wanna see
Everything you are
Til all that's left
Is not myself

Take away everything
Burn away all of me
As I break I believe
You will come to rescue

Co-De got me addicted to this song today by posting a thread about it in Project Friendship. I'm completely addicted to it. It's so fun and dancey-hip-hop-ey. Omigosh. x .x;

I know! This song is so much fun!
Let me help you with those lyrics though dariln'!

Quote:

Move your hips, do your thang
Get off the wall, don't matter what they think
From your fingertips, to your toes
You know you hot, so let everybody know
Gotta take it low, to the floor
From The Hills to the streets of the ghetto
Hips don't lie, so move 'em up
We ain't goin' stop, till we see everybody's bottoms up

Bottoms up [x3]
Bottoms up [x3]
Bottoms up [x3] ("Bottoms up, y'all!")
Bottoms up [x3]

Miss KeKe P, looking extra glossy
Gotta rep yo' style, lookin' extra flossy
"I'm bossy!" But I keeps it cute
Wit my stunner shades on and a tree in my boots
I got the Chi-Town swagga and I rocks it full
"Yes, Mudville!" baby, we don't take no bull
We keep it rockin' when we move our hips
Do that old school strut then we make it dip

Move your hips, do your thang
Get off the wall, don't matter what they think
From your fingertips, to your toes
You know you hot, so let everybody know
Gotta take it low, to the floor
From The Hills to the streets of the ghetto
Hips don't lie, so move 'em up
We ain't goin' stop, till we see everybody's bottoms up

Bottoms up [x3]
Bottoms up [x3] ("Get your bottom's up!")
Bottoms up [x3] ("What'cha say?!")
Bottoms up [x3]

Keep it movin', man. Make it poppin', man
I'll be on the move, Gotta catch me when you can
Might see my face on the movie screen
Hypnotize you, frame by frame, scene by scene
Staying fly while I keep it fresh
Only thirteen- and I ain't even close yet
Sittin' back, saying "This a hit!"
While you switch side to side, and move your hips

You got some swagger? Better let 'em know
You got some swagger, better let it show ("Swagger, Hey!")
Take ya swagga wit ya to the A, and run it back up to The Bay

Now bob your head, then look away [x3]
Now bob your head, then look away [x3]

Move your hips, do your thang
Get off the wall, don't matter what they think
From your fingertips, to your toes
You know you hot, so let everybody know
Gotta take it low, to the floor
From The Hills to the streets of the ghetto
Hips don't lie, so move 'em up
We ain't gon' stop, till we see everybody's bottoms up

Bottoms up [x3]
Bottoms up [x3]
Bottoms up [x3]
Bottoms up [x3]

You got some swagger? Better let 'em know
You got some swagger, better let it show
Take ya swagga wit ya to the A, and run it back up to The Bay

Now bob your head, then look away [x3]
Now bob your head, then look away [x3]

This is a song by the bassist/keyboardist in my band - they recorded it a month or so back. It's a cool song, I like it.

Castle Town Convicts

Captain

We stand together at the bow looking forward
Which direction I don't know
I don't know why I don't know how what we just heard
Is not where we're supposed to go

Can't stand the wind around my face above the surface
But underground I'm paranoid
I'd rather be in empty space while the earth is
Sinking in that deep black void

How did we get here
I don't remember ever surrendering
How did we get here
I don't remember falling

Captain Captain
I don't know what happened
But the waters are above us and the sky is beneath
How long till solid ground is under our feet
I can't see anything anymore
And like a sailor that longs for the shore
Desperate for arrival with every stroke
Captain keep us afloat

I spin in circles on the deck with my hands up
Trying to catch all my spare time
My mind is mapping out a way to have enough
Until the lighthouse is in sight

How did we get here
I don't remember ever surrendering
How did we get here
I don't remember falling

Captain Captain
I don't know what happened
But the waters are above us and the sky is beneath
How long till solid ground is under our feet
I can't see anything anymore
And like a sailor that longs for the shore
Desperate for arrival with every stroke
Captain keep us afloat

I'm gasping for air
It burns my throat
Oh captain, my captain keep us afloat
I'm sinking down slowly
Of time I've lost track
Oh captain this sailor just wants to make it back
I want to make it back

Captain Captain
I don't know what happened
But the waters are above us and the sky is beneath
How long till solid ground is under our feet
I can't see anything anymore
And like a sailor that longs for the shore
Desperate for arrival with every stroke
Captain keep us afloat

Everybody's Stupid

You fell for me, I fell for you
You think I'm great, I think you're good
and that's enough to prove
the point once more
Everybody's stupid, that's for sure

(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
Everybody's stupid, that's for sure

I light my filter, then reverse it
And burn a mouth that's weak on verbs
and nouns and nouns
but I'm not sore
Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
Everybody's stupid, that's for sure

(repeat)

I traded you for Jean and Myra
I traded them for the Mormon Choir
Now I got some music and the Lord
And I'm feeling dumber than before

(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
(Oh yeah) Everybody's stupid, that's for sure
Everybody's stupid, that's for sure

Listen

Hey, what did you hear me say?
You know the difference it makes
What did you hear me say?

Yes, I said it's fine before
But- I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before
I've changed my mind, I take it back

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and Rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind

So where did you see me go?
It's not the right way, you know
Where did you see me go?

No, it's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not that I don't know
I've changed my mind, I take it back

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and Rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind

Where in the Hell Did You Go with my Toothbrush?
You didn't leave a bar of soap when you left me.
You didn't even leave a towel so I could dry my face.
You didn't even leave a plate for me to eat on.
But you left all my empty beer cans all over the place.

You didn't leave my precious black and white TV set.
You took the Jimi Hendrix poster that was on my door.
You left with my very best friend - our dog Smokey.
But I found all the unpaid bills on the kitchen floor.

And where in the hell did you go with my toothbrush?
And where in the hell did you happen to spend last night?
You didn't leave a bar of soap when you left me.
And you didn't even tell me they was turning out the lights.


-- Guitar solo --


You didn't leave my little five dollar alarm clock.
You didn't even leave a note; I guess it's all been said.
You didn't even leave the cushions for the sofa.
And now that I'm used to the couch, you left the bed.

And where in the hell did you go with my toothbrush?
And where in the hell have you been for the last three days?
You didn't leave a bar of soap when you left me.
And you didn't stick around to see the teardrops on my face.

Typical

Come on, can’t I dream for one day
There’s nothing that can’t be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

‘Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical, the typical

I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

Cause I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical, the typical, the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical

Because it’s dragging me down
I’d like to know about when
When does it all turn around

I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical

Yeah I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feeling like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical, the typical, the typical
Can I break the spell
Of the typical
Of the typical

I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical
I'm just the typical

Brave Face

Put your brave face on
The one you wore when you stole my heart
Won't you hold my hand
We'll jump together into anything that could possibly happen

'Cause we're still so young
Ask me to dance in this hotel room
Then let's get out of here
And hit the airport with nothing but a carry-on between us

You take my over analyse away
It's you and me against the world today

Feels like I'm running with my high heels on
And they're chasing us waiting for it to all go wrong
You're my umbrella against their sticks and stones
As long as we keep smiling they'll never know

Put your brave face on
Put your brave face on

It's clear blue skies
Flying thirty thousand feet above
No one can touch us 'cause we're so in love
Look into my eyes, meet me there, don't look down

Feels like I'm running with my high heels on
And they're chasing us waiting for it to all go wrong
You're my umbrella against their sticks and stones
As long as we keep smiling they'll never know

Put your brave face on
Put your brave face on
Put your brave face on
Put your brave face on

You take my over analyse away
It's you and me against the world today

Feels like I'm running with my high heels on
And they're chasing us waiting for it all to go wrong
You're my umbrella against their sticks and stones
As long as we keep smiling they'll never know

Put your brave face on
Put your brave face on
Put your brave face on
Put your brave face on

Pride and Joy

The time of day I can't recall.
The kind of thing that takes a toll.
Over years and over time
Over smiles and over wine.
All in all, it wasn't bad.
All in all, it wasn't good, but I still care.

That's the problem with the days.
They're never long enough to say
What it is you never said
All the books you never read.
Throw myself into the wind
Hoping somebody might pick me up and carry me again.

Where are you now?
Do you let me down?
Do you make me grieve for you?
Do I make you proud?
Do you get me now?
Am I your pride and joy?

I believe this to be true.
There's nothing sacred, nothing new.
No one tells you when it's time.
There are no warnings, only signs.
And you know that you're alone,
Not a child any more, but you're still scared.

All your mountains turn to rocks.
All your oceans turn to drops.
They are nothing like you thought.
You can't be something you are not.
Life is not a looking glass.
Don't get tangled in your past
Like I am learning not to.

Where are you now?
Do you let me down?
Do you make me grieve for you?
Do I make you proud?
Do you get me now?
Am I your pride and joy?
