Sunshine takes me

To a place where

I

sit around, dream away the place i

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

We had a moment

We had a long talk

We had a few laughs

We had a night off

We had a few drinks

We happened so fast

Before I noticed

We had a sofa

I know, I know, I know, I know we had a few flights

I don't see why we had to say bye

 

I'm doin' fine

My friends all say so

I'm doin' all right

But that don't mean dick unless you know, I know, you know

 

I got my good days

I got my bad days

I know, I know, I know, I know that everyone does

And I know one day I'll be like I was

I'm goin' out more

And I been datin'

There's even one girl I'm kinda seein'

She really likes me

We got a good thing

She keeps on tellin' me...

 

I'm doin' fine

My friends all say so

I'm doin' all right

But that don't mean dick unless you know, I know, you know

 

I know you think things will never change

But I think I know somethin' you don't

Give me the chance to explain

 

I'm doin' fine

I'm doin' all right

But that don't mean dick unless you know, I know, you know

I know, you know, I know, you know

[JUDE]

Who's afraid of the sun?

Who'd question the goodness of the mighty?

We who banish the threat,

When your little ones all go nighty-nighty.

 

Well, there's no time for doubt right now

and less time to explain.

So get back on your horses,

kiss my ring, join our next campaign.

 

And the empire grows with the news that we're winning.

With more fear to conquer

and more gold thread for spinning.

Bright as the sun, shining on everyone.

 

Some would say that we forced our words

and we find that ingenuously churlish.

Words are just words.

Don't be so pessimistic, weak and girlish.

 

We like strong, happy people

who don't think there's something wrong with pride,

Work makes them free

and we spread that freedom far and wide.

 

And the empire grows,

the seeds of its glory,

For every five tanks,

plant a sentimental story,

till they worship the sun,

even Christ-loving ones.

 

And we'll kill the terror who rises

and a million of their races.

But when our people torture you

that's a few random cases.

 

Don't question the sun

It doesn't help anyone.

 

But the journalist cried out

when it was too late to stop us.

Everyone had awakened

to the dream they could enter our colossus.

 

And now I'm right,

here you said I'm right,

there's nothing that can harm me.

Cause the sun never sets

on my dungeons or my army.

 

And the empire fell

on it's own splintered axis.

And the emperor wanes

as the silver moon waxes.

 

And the farmers will find our coins

In their strawberry fields

while somebody somewhere

twists his ring as someone kneels.

 

Oh where is the sun, shining for everyone.

Oh where is the sun, shining for everyone.

[Sid Hartha]

Your kids are making queerer sounds

[Your little dog moans]

You don't need all this hassle because your brain is aseed

Anthony takes a front tooth

We count them all at least

K Sun - AK/AK like a wise one

 

Your brother's in the pen but you see your electromorph

And you can't even describe it because you're a K sun

You are a piece of slop

Can't say it any better

You took a TV and nailed it to the bench of a jeweller

Your mum's moustache needs fixing

Dad's washing up for one

 

Ketamine Sun

 

All school / stoolpigeons need tea, even at six foot one

You're a walking tower of Adidas crap at a cobblers four times a month

Ketamine Sun

 

Ketamine Sun

 

I was right but now I'm wrong

I loved you now and now you're gone

I was a goddamn fool, you taught me that

But I look out at

 

Life is like a holy war

Destroyed my life and the ties that bind

Take it - my world's destroyed

Take it

evelyn sits by the elevator doors

it's been 37 years since james dies on st. patrick's day in 1964

but she could not hold it against him

there were times when there was nothing she could do but lie in bed all day beside a picture of them together

a picture of better days

 

and just like james, i'll be drinking irish tonight

and the memory of his last work week will be gone forever

evelyn i'm not coming home tonight

if we're never together

if I'm never back again

well I swear to god that I'll love you forever

evelyn i'm not coming home tonight

 

in all the years that went by she said she'd always love him

and from the day that he died she never loved again

in his wallet she kept in her nightstand an a.a. card and a lock of red hair

she kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart

it killed a part of her before the rest was gone.

 

she said, "if I would have known just how things would have ended up I just would have let myself die."

 

and just like james, i'll be drinking irish tonight

and the memory of his last work week will be gone forever

evelyn i'm not coming home tonight

if we're never together

if I'm never back again

well I swear to god that I'll love you forever

evelyn i'm not coming home tonight

[awatt]

I am not a shadow

I am flesh and blood

meet me in the middle

if you think you could

if you think you could

 

if I'm walking in the dark

I'm whispering

if I'm walking in the dark

I'm whispering

follow my whisper

and I will see you through

 

if I make three wishes

one is not to fall

the other two will follow

beyond the wall

if the world spins faster

on my knees I crawl

if the world spins faster

on my knees I crawl

on my knees I crawl

straight on back to you

 

if I make three wishes

one is not to fall

the other two will follow

beyond the wall

 

I am not a shadow

I am flesh and blood

meet me in the middle

if you think you could

if you think you could

I will see you through

if you think you could

I will see you through

[tkleist]

I know the world is a mess

I like the patterns on your dress

Would you have a drink with me please

Have a couple or three

I see you walk by

I don't speak but try

Have a drink with me please

Don't say anything

I look like a mess

The patterns of your dress...

They blind me

 

Here's to the rest of the world

I guess that you deserve something

You work so hard at

Trying to be just like everyone else

Except people like me

 

Well, the lights shining down onto the street

The city lingers as it overheats

I'm on idle right now

Don't feel so proud

Wait for the others to join the crowd

 

And they come

Ones

Threes

Here's to the rest of the world

Oh, I don't know

Here's something that you deserve...

A drink or two

Come on and sit down with me

And we'll pretend everything

We'll pretend everything

It's easy.

[Elixir Sue]

I couldn't see

I couldn't hear

shut me off when you were near

like a cloud

a dusty mirror

disappear, you disappear

 

all of a sudden

all alone

I'm calling out

I'm calling love's gonna let me know

like the day you took me home

we counted every minute left to go

my love's gonna let you know

 

time without you drags me down

it all feels right with you around

it all feels light with you around

like that night we hit the ground

and all the lightning sends a chill

can't forget about you still

all of a sudden all alone

I'm calling out

I'm calling

 

Love's gonna let me know

like the day you took me home

we counted every minute left to go

my love's gonna let you know

 

Calling love's gonna let me know

like the day you took me home

we counted every minute left to go

my love's gonna let you know

 

I'm calling out I'm calling

I'm calling out I'm calling

I'm calling out I'm calling

I'm calling out I'm calling

I'm calling out I'm calling out

Dear landlord,

Please don't put a price on my soul.

My burden is heavy,

My dreams are beyond control.

When that steamboat whistle blows,

I'm gonna give you all I got to give,

And I do hope you receive it well,

Dependin' on the way you feel that you live.

 

Dear landlord,

Please heed these words that I speak.

I know you've suffered much,

But in this you are not so unique.

All of us, at times, we might work too hard

To have it too fast and too much,

And anyone can fill his life up

With things he can see but he just cannot touch.

 

Dear landlord,

Please don't dismiss my case.

I'm not about to argue,

I'm not about to move to no other place.

Now, each of us has his own special gift

And you know this was meant to be true,

And if you don't underestimate me,

I won't underestimate you.

[embiggen]

What did I miss here?

What can't you take anymore?

Expecting a whisper,

I heard the slam of a door

 

You say that all we ever do is fight

Gee, I don't know that that's true.

then I wonder, am I right?

or is that part of our problem?

Maybe I'm out of my mind.

Maybe I'm blocking out the truth.

But it seems like just a little thing,

like you don't want to listen,

and I can't shut up.

 

You don't have to smile at me.

we don't have to talk.

all that I ask is you stop,

and remember, it isn't always this way.

 

You have the problem,

it comes with our private jokes.

when you're in a fury,

laughter gets stuck in my throat.

 

Sometimes I wonder why we have so much trouble

cheering each other up sometimes,

when one or the other of us is down.

Instead it's like, when you're in a bad mood

I look at you and I say, maybe she's knows something

I don't know, maybe I should be upset.

 

You don't have to smile at me

We don't have to talk.

All that I ask is you stop

and remember, it isn't always this way.

 

The way that I feel

when you laugh

is like laughing.

The way that I feel

when you cry

is so bad.

[Fritz]

There's a man across the hall who sits staring at the floor,

He thinks he's Hank Williams; hear him singing through the door.

There's a girl in 203, who stops by to visit me,

And she talks about her songs and the star that she should be.

There are lots of special people staying in or passing through:

And for one thing or another, committed to Parkview.

 

There's a girl in 307, coming down on Thorazine.

And a superstar's ex-drummer trying to kick Benzedrine.

There's a boy just down below me, who's the son of some well-known:

He was brought in by his mother, 'cos his daddy's always gone.

There's a bum from down on Broadway and then a few quite well-to-do's:

Who have withdrawn from the rat race and committed to Parkview.

 

There's a girl who cries above me, loud enough to wake the dead.

They don't know what she has taken that has scrambled up her head.

There's a writer and a singer who has tried and tried and tried:

They just brought him in this morning, an attempted suicide.

There are those that never made it, those that did but now are through:

Some came of their own good choosing: some committed to Parkview.

 

They wake us about 6:30, just before the morning meal.

While they're taking blood pressure, they ask us how we feel.

And I always say: "Fantastic! There ain't nothing wrong with me."

And then they give me my injection and I go right back to sleep.

And my days are kind of foggy and my nights are dreamy too:

But they're taking good care of me: committed to Parkview.

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Rode through forty nights of the gospels' rain

Black sky pourin' snakes, frogs

And love in vain

You were down where the river grows wider

Baby, let me be your soul driver

 

Well if something in the air feels a little unkind

Don't worry darlin'

It'll slip your mind

I'll be your gypsy joker your shotgun rider

Baby let me be your soul driver

 

Now no one knows which way love's wheel turns

Will we hit it rich

Or crash and burn

Does fortune wait or just the black hand of fate

This love potion's all we've got

One toast before it's too late

 

If the angels are unkind or the season is dark

Or if in the end

Love just falls apart

Well then here's to our destruction

Baby let me be your soul driver

[tkleist]

Born to please, every simple need

I stand alone in my thoughts indeed

Hate you

For ever making me

I'm in you, I'm your anything

 

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

 

Come to me, let me hold you still

I'm so tired, just as tired as you

Take me for anyone but me

All that you feel is never true

 

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

 

When you say that you are

Forever my star

Could never let you go, no, no

And never let you know

 

Let roar these fears

To the whore of my tears

Pure as a lie, I pour to your eyes

Suck you like the sap from a tree

Honey from the dew, from the bumblebees, yeah yeah

 

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

 

When you say that you are

Forever my star

Could never let you go, no, no

Never let you know

 

And I- want you

And I- need you

And all you are is brand new

And I- need you

[embiggen]

I saw you standing in the corner

On the edge of a buring light

I saw you standing in the corner

Come to me again in the cold cold night

 

In the cold cold night

 

You make me feel a little older

Like a full grown women might.

But when you gonna grow colder

 

Come to me again in the cold cold night

In the cold cold night

 

I hear you walkin' by my front door

I hear the creakin' of the kitchen floor

I don't care what other people say

I'm gonna love you anyway

 

Come to me again in the cold cold night

In the cold cold night

 

I can't stand it any longer

I need the fuel to make my fire bight

So don't fight it any longer

 

Come to me again in the cold cold night

In the cold cold night

 

And I know that you feel it too

When my skin turns into glue

You will know that it's warm inside

And you'll come run to me

 

In the cold cold night

In the cold cold night

In the cold cold night

In the cold cold night

[Elixir Sue]

Don't they love you in mysterious ways?

You say 'Yeah, this is now and that was then.'

Put a dollar into the machine

And you'll remember when

 

I know when everything feels wrong

I've got some hard, hard proof in this song

I'll know when everything feels right

Some lucky night

Some lucky night

 

Say the money just ain't what it used to be

Man how we used to tear apart this town

Put a dollar into the machine

And you'll remember how

 

I know when everything feels wrong

I've got some hard, hard proof in this song

I'll know when everything feels right

Some lucky night

Some lucky night

Some lucky night...

[embiggen]

With surgical focus

She stared at me and said

I'm willing to reach out

Get in to your head

And I will keep you

and cleanse you

She glared at me and wept

A change is not going to hurt you

Not this time

 

And I've been waiting in line for this

Now that it's taken forever

I insist

Until I get it, I can't breathe

Climbing high upon the rocky cliffs

We fly

With surgical focus

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

You know...one day I'd like to see the contract and its fine print where Rod Stewart sold his soul...

 

Spent some time feelin' inferior

standing in front of my mirror

Combed my hair in a thousand ways

but I came out looking just the same

 

Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world

I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave

But remember one thing don't lose your head

to a woman that'll spend your bread"

So I got out

 

Paris was a place you could hide away

if you felt you didn't fit in

French police wouldn't give me no peace

They claimed I was a nasty person

Down along the Left Bank minding my own

Was knocked down by a human stampede

Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot

when all I wanted was a cup of tea

I was accused

I moved on

 

Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough

of the things that keeps a young man alive

My body stunk but I kept my funk

at a time when I was right out of luck

Getting desperate indeed I was

Looking like a tourist attraction

Oh my dear I better get out of here

'for the Vatican don't give no sanction

I wasn't ready for that, no no

 

I moved right out east yeah!

On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry

sailing on my way back here

I fell in love with a slit eyed lady

by the light of an eastern moon

Shangai Lil never used the pill

She claimed that it just ain't natural

She took me up on deck and bit my neck

Oh people I was glad I found her

Oh yeah I was glad I found her

 

I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me

I sincerely thought I was so complete

Look how wrong you can be

 

The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe

They wouldn't give you the time of day

But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet

God I was glad I found her

And if they had the words I could tell to you

to help you on the way down the road

I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats

'cause it's all been said before

Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off

You didn't have to come here anyway

So remember, every picture tells a story don't it

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

Darling I hate to tell you but I think I

[embiggen]

I am the key to the lock in your house

That keeps your toys in the basement

And if you get too far inside

You'll only see my reflection

 

It's always best when the covers up

I am the pick in the ice

Do not cry out or hit the alarm

You know we're friends till we die

 

And either way you turn

I'll be there

Open up your skull

I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

 

It's always best when the light is off

It's always better on the outside

Fifteen blows to the back of your head

Fifteen blows to your mind

 

So lock the kids up safe tonight

Shut the eyes in the cupboard

I've got the smell of a local man

Who's got the loneliest fear

 

That either way he turns

I'll be there

Open up your skull

I'll be there

 

Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls

[redheadedstepchild]

I was tryin' to break the rules

 

Life is a dream

So it seems

Flash your picture in a magazine

 

Look who's passin'

In a limousine

Look who's a fallin' star

 

An ancient story

An innocent fool

He broke his mind tryin' to break the rules

 

I waste my time tryin' to b-b-b-b-break the rules

 

Build up the wall

Knock it down again

I don't wanna talk about it now

The central issue

Overall limit

I spend it in the town

 

I broke my mind

Tryin' to break the rules

 

I broke my mind tryin' to break the rules

 

 

Red red lips

On a cappuccino dress

Feasting on dead duck

 

Same old story

Pay alimony

We spent your share and give us ours

I paid my life tryin' to break the rules

I broke my life tryin' to break the rules

[A Sea of Broken Hearts]

I am Cow, hear me moo

I weigh twice as much as you

And I look good on the barbecue

Yogurt, curd, cream cheese and butter's

Made from liquid from my udders

I am Cow, I am Cow, Hear me moo (moo)

 

I am Cow, eating grass

Methane gas comes out my ass

And out my muzzle when I belch

Oh, the ozone layer is thinner

From the outcome of my dinner

I am Cow, I am Cow, I've got gas

 

I am Cow, here I stand

Far and wide upon this land

And I am living everywhere

From B.C. to Newfoundland

You can squeeze my teats by hand

I am Cow, I am Cow, I am Cow

I am Cow, I am Cow, I am Cow!

[kidsmoke]

This is what makes me nuts: when I read fantastic lyrics, but have no idea whose they are! Can't you folks please credit the band/ artist?

 

kidsmoke would love you for it, and perhaps mail you candy. You just never know!

[redheadedstepchild]

"Contrast"

 

Look at what we have done,

See the colors begin to fade.

Soon, we'll lose everyone,

And there'll only be shades of grey.

 

Oh no. (woohoo woohoo)

This won't ever last. (woohoo woohoo)

That won't ever pass. (woohoo woohoo)

Well, I'm sorry, but we are slipping into

 

Contrast (hey hey hey).

Contrast, it's a common mistake.

Contrast. (hey hey hey).

How we're slipping away.

 

Now, there's nothing to say.

We're too stubborn to make it right.

So, we'll just sit and wait

Until everything's black and white.

 

Oh no. (woohoo woohoo)

This won't ever last. (woohoo woohoo)

That won't ever pass. (woohoo woohoo)

Well, I'm sorry, but we are slipping into

 

Contrast (hey hey hey).

Contrast, it's a common mistake.

Contrast. (hey hey hey).

How we're slipping away.

 

Contrast (hey hey hey).

Contrast, it's a common mistake.

Contrast. (hey hey hey).

Oh how we're slipping away.

 

(woohoo woohoo)

(woohoo woohoo)

This won't ever last. (woohoo woohoo)

That won't ever pass. (woohoo woohoo)

Well, I'm sorry, but...

[kidsmoke]

*sigh* Nice.....but who is "Contrast" by???
