Another nightmare about to come true
Will manifest tomorrow
Another love that I've taken from you
Lost in time, on the edge of suffering
Another taste of the evil I breed
Will level you completely
Bring to life everything that you fear
Live in the dark, and the world is threatening

Prayer Disturbed,

"Forgive them they teared down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late"

ok this will be a long one with multiple songs, so bear with me;) I have a wide taste in music, so I doubt any single person will get these all. Some you will have to be under 20, some older than 30, and some middle of the road.I could have made it excrutiating, but I don't want anyone to cheat. Any btw, I do have all these CDs

first

Hangin round downtown by myself
And I've had so much time to sit and think about myself
and there she was
Like Double cherry pie and there she was
Like disco superfly

Next(skipping spin doctors-too easy)

Psychic spies from china
try to steal your mind's elation
little girls from sweden
dream of silver screen quotations

Next (easy one, but one of my favs)

She lay beside me
And tell me what they've done
And speak the works I want to hear
to make my demons run

The door is locked now
but it's open with your truth
If you can understand the me
then I can understand the you

NEXT

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
I was think to myself
this coould be heaven or this could be hell
Then she lifted her candle and she showed me the way

Her mind is tiffany-twisted
She got the mercedes benz
She got a lot of pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard
Sweet summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.

Next

he was a hard headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold cold city
he had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
they said he was ruthless
they said he was crude
They had one thing in common
They were good in bed
She'd say "faster faster,
the lights are turnin red"

Next(this one no one under 40 really should know)

It's was 9 oclock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
there's an old man sittin next to me
making love to his tonic and gin

Now john at the bar- he's a friend of mine
And he gives me my drinks for free
and he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
But there's some place that he'd rather be

He's says bill I believe this is killing me
As a smile ran away from his face
Well I'm sure that I could be a move star
if I could get outta this place

Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talking with davey, who's still in the navy
And probably will be for life

Next(another oldie but goodie)

Nibblin on spongecake
watchin the sun bake
all of those tourists covered with art
Strummin my 6 string
On my front porch swing

Next

passed the road to your house
where you never called home
where they turned out your lights
though they say you'll never know

When they pumped out your guts
filled you full of those pills
you were never quite right
deservin all the chills

Said the worst is over
Can't get over it yet
then they asked what went wrong
when they turned you on again

Next

six am day after christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
smell of cold -car seat is freezing
the world is freezing and I am numb

Up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
her mom and dad went down to charlotte
They're not home to find us out

NEXT

That's great, it starts with an earthquake.
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn.
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, no,
Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height.
Fire in a wire, representing seven games.
A government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry,
With the furies breathing down your neck.

AND FINALLY

There's you can be do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say,
But you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

And if you want these kind of dreams
It’s Californication
It’s the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the East
At least it settles in the final location
It’s understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication

Californication by RHCP

The door is locked now
but it's open with your truth
If you can understand the me
then I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
The black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through
Black hearts scarring darkness still, but there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining through
No, there's no sun shining
What I've felt, what I've known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you

The unforgiven II by Metallica

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it’ll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.

It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

It's the end of the world as we know it by REM

not bad IMO


And finally, for all the music fans out there:

There is a land, a land of greater art
But high mountains hide its heart
The gods play there, a soft sound of harps
And in the air shine silver stars
There is a land, a land that mountains guard
A land for most mortals far
But if you pure in heart, the time will come to you
When you may follow an avatar through
But here close the avatars words...

How can you criticize guybrush for missing a few, when you missed the most important one!

You bloody cheeky pikey! You come along into my thread and then post some lyrics without answering which song my last lyrics came from, that was the idea of this thread, 1 persons posts lyrics another person answers then that same person puts their own lyrics in the post simple.

So back to where i got,

"Forgive them they teared down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late"

So many times that I've seen life before me
I searched and found the way to choose to the end
I found a way, to know, why it had to be
Mired in denial and saw all the rain

If we ever find it true
Love will have its way to choose
Three more to tame
We can be ever

GNR Madagascar

I just couldn't remember the name of the song. And hey, I thought I'd at least qualify for limey bas***d
now solve mine:wink:

Bloody Pikey, can't even cheat properly.

Madagascar

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

No I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought back in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

No, I..
No, I...

Forgive them that tear down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late

For the many times would seem like a memory
I searched and found the way to choose to the end
I found the ways, why it had to be
Mired in denial and so afraid

If we ever find it soon
That we have the strength to choose
Free the ball, the chain
We built together

(Quotes) ****(please see below)

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
And I can't find my way back, my way anymore

No I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought back in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore

and your last one would be,

All You Need Is Love
The Beatles (Lennon/McCartney)

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy.
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
There's nothing you can know that isn't known.
Nothing you can see that isn't shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be.
It's easy.
All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love, love is all you need.

momma this surely is a dream, yeah
yeah momma this surely is a dream

marcy playground, i smell sex and candy

i guess i'll start off a new one:

i be walkin god like a dog
my narrative fearless
my word war returns to burn
like baldwin home from paris
steel from a furnace
i was born landless
it's the native son
born of zapata's guns

it's the native son
born of zapata's guns
stroll through the shanties
and the cities remains

Same bodies buried hungry
But with different last names
The vultures robbin everything
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on the globe
Yes the pictures the same
There's a bank, there's a church, a myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth
There's a widow pig parrot
A rebel to tame
A whitehooded judge
A syringe and a vein

Obviously, "Calm Like a Bomb" by Rage Against the Machine.

Alright, my next one is:

I can't seem to find out what I feel
Burned out dreams of others which I can steal
Take or leave this way I seem to you, it eats right through you
Ripped up parts of things I should do, I'll run around and tell you screaming...
 
  • #46
I (or even we) give up, please tell the answer... and let's continue with more music
 
  • #47
It's "Live a Lie", by Default.

Anyway I guess I should post another one, right? This one should be easy:

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find/
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
 
  • #48
Come on, this is an easy one. Let's keep this thread going, people.

somewhere i belong, linkin park!
i must admit, i don't listen to them much, but its on the radio enough for me to figure out.

this shouldn't be too bad:

Queen of Light took her bow
And then she turned to go
The Prince of Peace embraced the gloom
And walked the night alone
Oh, dance in the dark of night
Sing to the morning light
The dark Lord rides in force tonight
And time will tell us all
Oh, throw down your plow and hoe
Rest not to lock your homes
Side by side we wait the might
of the darkest of them all

That's the "Battle of Evermore", but I can't remember who sang it (Led Zepplin comes to mind, for some reason...).

Can I post the next one anyway?

Ooh ooh my go!

Im guessin no-one knows the answer...tch disgraceful, but I am not writing a new one out!
 
  • #55
sorry just saw your lyrics (busy at work)

Iron Maiden - 2 minutes to midnight (great album - Powerslave I mean :wink:)

now for something new:

I was told there's miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world,
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire...

As a child
I thought I could live without pain
Without sorrow
But as a man
I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid


Dream Theater, Metropolis


________________


the walls are closing in
i can't breathe can't sleep
afraid to live another day
too late to bow my head and prey
hate flowing through my veins
i can't change re-arrange
just a victim a casualty
war waged on humanity
lost my way in the darkness of the daylight
cant run can't hide
no love no fight
brought to my knees by this fate i can't avoid
scared of my own shadow its a battle living paranoid
make a joke and i will sigh

I'm just too mean.

Happiness I can not feel;
So love to me is so unreal.
And so as you hear these words;
Telling you now of my state.
I tell you to enjoy life;
I wish I could but its too late.

"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath

Here's mine:

Standing on the corner, suitcase in my hand,
Jack is in his corset, and Jane is in her vest, and, me,
I'm in a rock'n'roll band.
Riding in a Stutz-Bearcat, Jim
You know, those were different times.
Oh, all the poet, they studied rules of verse,
And the ladies, they rolled their eyes.

"Paranoid" by Black Sabbath

Sorry Tom, I said I was too mean for a reason.

But you are wrong, see the following:

http://www.black-sabbath.com/discog/paranoidlyrics.html#paranoid

The lyrics I mentioned are not in the song.

____________


I guess since someone got it wrong I'll give a hint. I mentioned it recently in another post. Its one of the most things a baseball player fears most.

Of and tom, you were partially correct. Wrong artist.
