[Rumrunner6900]

I wanna go back to the island

Where the shrimp boats are tied up to the pilin'

Gimme oysters and beer

For dinner every day of the year and I'll feel fine

I'll feel fine

Chorus:

I wanna be there

Wanna go back down and lie beside the sea there

With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine

And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

Yeah now, the sun goes slidin' 'cross the water

Sailboats they go searchin' for the breeze

Salt air it ain't thin

It can stick right to your skin and make you feel fine

Makes you feel fine

Chorus:

I wanna be there

Wanna go back down and a' get high by the sea there

With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine

And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

Yes and now you heard my strange proposal

So get that Packard up and let's move

I wanna be there before the day

Tries to steal away and leave us behind

I've made up my mind

Chorus:

And I wanna be there

I wanna go back down and die beside the sea there

With a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine

And I'll be chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

Coda:

Yeah with a tin cup for a chalice, fill it up with good red wine

And I'm a' chewin' on a honeysuckle vine

Tin Cup Chalice - Jimmy Buffett

One of the songs that will be played at my funeral.

[VASkins540]

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves

The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free

Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands

With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves

Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to

Hey, Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Bob Dylan - "Mr Tambourine Man"

[PokerPacker]

Pardon ****ing me, who the ****ing **** is Jesus?

Mother****ing new Messiah of the ****ing World

-Edguy, New Age Messiah

Really stands out because

A) This band usually doesn't throw around expletives

Well come on, they're cursing out Jesus (contextually in the song, though, they're representing a mental case who thinks he's the anti-christ)

(mail vocalist) I am so ****ing Metal, and so is my wife

(female vocalist) I am is wife

(male vocalist) SHUT UP!

Dream Evil, Made of Metal

certainly caught me off guard, but had me laughing. It was her only line in the entire song.

[CRobi21]

We're now up here alone terror on the intercom. "Can someone save us?!?!

Systems malfunction, blast it, this damn machine. Over and out captain!"

Something lurks, creeps on the counter top, somewhere behind you.

Parasitic cyst, I can't stand to watch, it's coming up and out of your chest.

Remember when we were young.

Sit up right on the table, a photograph, of earth feeding me a way back.

Frightened I tear alone, or maybe not, the the only one, there.

Hello? Hello? When it rings will you answer?

There corner tall, short stance, it's you come on kill me.

You made a good friend, to me. But while you were outnumbered and torn you made us do things.

Oh dear God, I don't feel alive!!! When you're cut short of misery, will you pray it be the end? Give a look surprised wide eyes to me. Then you'll know just what i am. The scare that triggers your fear. Come know me in a different light now, come know me as God!

You made a good friend, to me. But while you were outnumbered and torn, you made us do things, to you, now.

Run sand, hourglass. It's my time, will I be worth?

Spin 'round carousel, when your horse isn't screwed in.

Oh dear God, I don't feel alive!! When you're cut short of misery.

(raise forth lost cause)

Will you pray it be the end? Give a look surprised, wide eyes to me.

(raise forth lost cause)

Then you'll know just what i am.

(subtle demise the legitimate cry)

The scare that triggers your fear. Come know me in a different light now.

Come know me as God!

(raise forth lost cause)

[Jumbo]

Skinsfan89 hit two I knew well :applause:

(Wendy--Concrete Blonde)

I told the priest, don't count on any second coming.

God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming.

He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us.

No, I don't wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us.

Hey, hey, good bye.

Tomorrow Wendy's going to die.

Hey, hey, good bye.

Tomorrow Wendy's going to die.

Tomorrow Wendy's going to die.

(Indian Sunset--Elton John & Bernie Tualpin)

As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging

Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee

Oh I went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman

For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving

This I cant believe I said, I cant believe our warlords dead

Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns

Oh great father of the iroquois ever since I was young

Ive read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums

Ive learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild

To run the gauntlet of the sioux, to make a chieftains daughter mine

And now you ask that I should watch

The red mans race be slowly crushed

What kind of words are these to hear

From yellow dog whom white man fears

I take only what is mine lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child

I cant stay to see you die along with my tribes pride

I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons

Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run

Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand

Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands

I heard from passing renegades geronimo was dead

Hed been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead

Now there seems no reason why I should carry on

In this land that once was my land I cant find a home

Its lonely and its quiet and the horse soldiers are coming

And I think its time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running

For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones

Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns

And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold

And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole

(Don Quixote--Gordon Lightfoot)

Through the woodland, through the valley

Comes a horseman wild and free

Tilting at the windmills passing

Who can the brave young horseman be

He is wild but he is mellow

He is strong but he is weak

He is cruel but he is gentle

He is wise but he is meek

Reaching for his saddlebag

He takes a battered book into his hand

Standing like a prophet bold

He shouts across the ocean to the shore

Till he can shout no more

I have come oer moor and mountain

Like the hawk upon the wing

I was once a shining knight

Who was the guardian of a king

I have searched the whole world over

Looking for a place to sleep

I have seen the strong survive

And I have seen the lean grown weak

See the children of the earth

Who wake to find the table bare

See the gentry in the country

Riding off to take the air

Reaching for his saddlebag

He takes a rusty sword into his hand

Then striking up a knightly pose

He shouts across the ocean to the shore

Till he can shout no more

See the jailor with his key

Who locks away all trace of sin

See the judge upon the bench

Who tries the case as best he can

See the wise and wicked ones

Who feed upon lifes sacred fire

See the soldier with his gun

Who must be dead to be admired

See the man who tips the needle

See the man who buys and sells

See the man who puts the collar

On the ones who dare not tell

See the drunkard in the tavern

Stemming gold to make ends meet

See the youth in ghetto black

Condemned to life upon the street

Reaching for his saddlebag

He takes a tarnished cross into his hand

Then standing like a preacher now

He shouts across the ocean to the shore

Then in a blaze of tangled hooves

He gallops off across the dusty plain

In vain to search again

Where no one will hear

Through the woodland, through the valley

Comes a horseman wild and free

Tilting at the windmills passing

Who can the brave young horseman be

He is wild but he is mellow

He is strong but he is weak

He is cruel but he is gentle

He is wise but he is meek

(Sounds of Silence--Simon & Garfunkel)

Hello darkness, my old friend,

Ive come to talk with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

People talking without speaking,

People hearing without listening,

People writing songs that voices never share

And no one dare

Disturb the sound of silence.

Fools said I, you do not know

Silence like a cancer grows.

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Take my arms that I might reach you.

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed

In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed

To the neon God they made.

And the sign flashed out its warning,

In the words that it was forming.

And the sign said, the words of the prophets

Are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls.

And whispered in the sounds of silence.

(Trouble---Shawn Colvin)

Baby let me set you down

You look so troubled and I think I know

Just when you think you've come around

There you go

Now I know the business of the heart

And it'll get you anyway it can

You need someone to walk with in the dark, well

I'm your man

I go to the trouble like a magnet

That's where I'll be

Trouble is just a place to sing

It's what you need

I swear you look like you're in jail

And all at once you're halfway out the door

One foot dancing, one foot nailed

To the floor

Chasing those circles in the ground

The same old **** is still the same old lie

Just when you think you've got it down

Watch it fly

I go to the trouble like a light

Or like a dare

Trouble is just a friend to me, I know

It'll always be there

It's really hard to make your peace

So give me some credit for the hell I've paid

This world's a blessing and a beast

Everyday

So come on baby let me show you how

The less you know the more I comprehend

You don't have to drag me down

I descend

I go to the trouble and I like it

That's where I'll be

Trouble is just like love, if it's half the way

It's all I can see

And it's just what you need

(Long, Long, Time--Linda Rondstat--A favorite of someone I knew)

Love will abide

Take things in stride

Sounds like good advice

But there's no one at my side

And time washes clean

Love's wounds unseen

That's what someone told me

But I don't know what it means

Cause I've done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think I'm gonna love you

For a long, long time

Caught in my fears

Blinking back the tears

I can't say you hurt me

When you never let me near

And I never drew

One response from you

All the while you fell

All over girls you never knew

Cause I've done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think it's going to hurt me

For a long, long time.

Wait for the day

You'll go away

Knowing that you warned me

Of the price I'd have to pay

And life's full of flaws

Who knows the cause

Living in the memory

Of a love that never was

Cause I've done everything I know

To try and change your mind

And I think I'm going to miss you

For a long, long time

And I've done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think I'm gonna love you

For a long, long time.

[Jumbo]

(Discovery Channel--Bloodhound Gang )

Ha-ha, well now, we call this the act of mating

But there are several other

Very important differences

Between human beings and animals

That you should know about

I'd appreciate your input

Sweat baby, sweat baby

Sex is a Texas drought

Me and you do the kind of stuff

That only Prince would sing about

So put your hands down my pants

And I bet you'll feel nuts

Yes I'm Siskel, yes I'm Ebert

And you're getting two thumbs up

You've had enough of two-hand touch

You want it rough, you're out of bounds

I want you smothered, want you covered

Like my Waffle House hashbrowns

Comin' quicker than Fed Ex

Never reach an apex

Just like coca-cola stock

You are inclined to make me rise an hour early

Just like daylight savings time

Do it now

You and me baby me ain't nothin' but mammals

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

Do it again now

You and me baby me ain't nothin' but mammals

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

Gettin' horny now

Love, the kind you clean up

With a mop and bucket

Like the lost catacombs of Egypt

Only God knows where we stuck it

Hieroglyphics? Let me be pacific

I wanna be down in your South Seas

But I got this notion

That the motion of your ocean means

"Small Craft Advisory"

So if I capsize on your thighs

High tide B-5 you sunk my battleship

Please turn me on

I'm Mr. Coffee

With an automatic drip

So show me yours, I'll show you mine

"Tool Time"

You'll Lovett just like Lyle

And then we'll do it doggy style

So we can both watch "X-Files"

Do it now

You and me baby me ain't nothin' but mammals

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

Do it again now

You and me baby me ain't nothin' but mammals

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

Gettin' horny now

You and me baby me ain't nothin' but mammals

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

Do it again now

You and me baby me ain't nothin' but mammals

So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel

Do it now

I kinda figured Jumbo would get a kick out of this thread.

Ground control to major tom

Ground control to major tom

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

Ground control to major tom

Commencing countdown, engines on

Check ignition and may gods love be with you

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five,

Four, three, two, one, liftoff

This is ground control to major tom

Youve really made the grade

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear

Now its time to leave the capsule if you dare

This is major tom to ground control

Im stepping through the door

And Im floating in a most peculiar way

And the stars look very different today

For here

Am I sitting in a tin can

Far above the world

Planet earth is blue

And theres nothing I can do

Though Im past one hundred thousand miles

Im feeling very still

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go

Tell me wife I love her very much she knows

Ground control to major tom

Your circuits dead, theres something wrong

Can you hear me, major tom?

Can you hear me, major tom?

Can you hear me, major tom?

Can you....

Here am I floating round my tin can

Far above the moon

Planet earth is blue

And theres nothing I can do.

[Springfield]

I read the news today oh, boy

About a lucky man who made the grade

And though the news was rather sad

Well, i just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car

He didn't notice that the lights had changed

A crowd of people stood and stared

They'd seen his face before

Nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords

I saw a film today oh, boy

The english army had just won the war

A crowd of people turned away

But i just had to look

Having read the book

I love to turn you on.

Woke up, got out of bed

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up, i noticed i was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

Somebody spoke and i went into a dream

Ah

I read the news today oh, boy

Four thousand holes in blackburn, lancashire

And though the holes were rather small

They had to count them all

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall

I'd love to turn you on

[Springfield]

Meet Eddie, twenty-three years old.

Fed up with life and the way things are going,

he decides to rob a liquor store.

("I can't take this no more, I can't take it no more homes")

But on his way in, he has a sudden change of heart.

And suddenly, his conscience comes into play...

("**** is mine, I gotta do this.. gotta do this")

Alright, stop! (Huh?)

Now before you walk in the door of this liquor store

and try to get money out the drawer

You better think of the consequence (But who are you?)

I'm your mother****in conscience

That's nonsense!

Go in and gaffle the money and run to one of your aunt's cribs

And borrow a damn dress, and one of her blonde wigs

Tell her you need a place to stay

You'll be safe for days if you shave your legs with Renee's razor blade

Yeah but if it all goes through like it's supposed to

The whole neighborhood knows you and they'll expose you

Think about it before you walk in the door first

Look at the store clerk, she's older than George Burns

**** that! Do that ****! Shoot that *****!

Can you afford to blow this ****? Are you that rich?

Why you give a **** if she dies? Are you that *****?

Do you really think she gives a **** if you have kids?

Man, don't do it, it's not worth it to risk it! (You're right!)

Not over this **** (Stop!) Drop the biscuit (I will!)

Don't even listen to Slim yo, he's bad for you

(You know what Dre? I don't like your attitude..)

("It's alright c'mon, just come in here for a minute")

("Mmm, I don't know!")

("Look baby..")

("Damn!")

("Yo, it's gonna be alright, right?")

("Well OK..")

Meet Stan, twenty-one years old. ("Give me a kiss!")

After meeting a young girl at a rave party,

things start getting hot and heavy in an upstairs bedroom.

Once again, his conscience comes into play... ("****!")

Now listen to me, while you're kissin her cheek

and smearin her lipstick, I slipped this in her drink

Now all you gotta do is nibble on this little *****'s earlobe..

(Yo! This girl's only fifteen years old

You shouldn't take advantage of her, thats not fair)

Yo look at her bush does it got hair? (uh huh)

**** this bith right here on the spot bare till she

passes out and she forgot how she got there

(Man, ain't you ever seen that one movie _Kids_?)

No, but I seen the porno with SunDoobiest!

(****, you wanna get hauled off to jail?)

yea **** that, hit that **** raw dog and bail

Meet Grady, a twenty-nine year old construction worker.

After coming home from a hard day's work,

he walks in the door of his trailer park home

to find his wife in bed with another man.

("WHAT THE ****?!?!")

("Grady!!")

Alright calm down, relax, start breathin..

**** that ****! You just caught this ***** cheatin!

While you at work she's with some dude tryin to get off?!

**** slitting her throat, CUT THIS *****'S HEAD OFF!!!

Wait! What if there's an explanation for this?

(What? She tripped, fell, and landed on his dick?!)

Alright Shady, maybe he's right, Grady

But think about the baby before you get all crazy

Okay! Thought about it, still wanna stab her?

Grab her by the throat, get your daughter and kidnap her?

That's what I did, be smart, don't be a retard

You gonna take advice from somebody who slapped DEE BARNES??!

What'chu say? (What's wrong? Didn't think I'd remember?)

I'ma kill you mother****er!

Uhhh-aahh! Temper temper!

Mr. Dre? Mr. N.W.A.?

Mr. AK comin' straight outta Compton y'all better make way?

How in the **** you gonna tell this man not to be violent?

Cause he don't need to go the same route that I went

Been there, done that.. aw **** it...

What am I sayin? Shoot em both Grady, where's your gun at?

[Califan007 The Constipated]

When we be makin love

I only hear the sounds

Heavenly angels cryin up above

Tears of joy pourin down on us

They know we need each other

They know you are my fix

I know, that you know that I aint cheatin baby

They know this is serious

I aint ****ing just 4 kicks

No

This condition I got is crucial, crucial baby

U could say that I'm a terminal case

U could burn up my clothes

Smash up my ride

...Well, maybe not the ride

"Adore" ~Prince

[Jumbo]

You have me pegged, Springfield.

(Dirty Boulevard---Lou Reed)

Pedro lives out of the wilshire hotel

He looks out a window without glass

The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet

His father beats him cause hes too tired to beg

Hes got 9 brothers and sisters

Theyre brought up on their knees

Its hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs

Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man

But thats a slim chance hes going to the boulevard

Hes going to end up, on the dirty boulevard

Hes going out, to the dirty boulevard

Hes going down, to the dirty boulevard

This room cost 2,000 dollars a month

You can believe it man its true

Somewhere a landlords laughing till he wets his pants

No one here dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything

They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard

Give me your hungry, your tired your poor Ill piss on em

Thats what the statue of bigotry says

Your poor huddled masses, lets club em to death

And get it over with and just dump em on the boulevard

Get to end up, on the dirty boulevard

Going out, to the dirty boulevard

Hes going down, on the dirty boulevard

Going out

Outside its a bright night

Theres an opera at lincoln center

Movie stars arrive by limousine

The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of manhattan

But the lights are out on the mean streets

A small kid stands by the lincoln tunnel

Hes selling plastic roses for a buck

The traffics backed up to 39th street

The tv whores are calling the cops out for a suck

And back at the wilshire, pedro sits there dreaming

Hes found a book on magic in a garbage can

He looks at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling

At the count of 3 he says, I hope I can disappear

And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard

I want to fly, from dirty boulevard

I want to fly, from dirty boulevard

I want to fly-fly-fly-fly, from dirty boulevard

I want to fly away

I want to fly

Fly, fly away

I want to fly

Fly-fly away (fly a-)

Fly-fly-fly (-way, ooohhh...)

Fly-fly away (I want to fly-fly away)

Fly away (I want to fly, wow-woh, no, fly away)

[Springfield]

Possibly some of the most thought provoking rap lyrics I've heard in a long time...

Disease the virus is spreading in all directions

no safe zone no cure and no protection

no symptoms define the signs of an infection

no vaccines, remedies, and no corrections

Quarantine the dreams and seal off the connections

don't let them in not a friend not a reflection

everybody's got it and want you to have it next and

don't accept them if you want to stay as an exception

no pill can heal the ill of this

sickness some are still in doubt of its existence

some call it forgiveness and some call it the vengeance

some say it's an exit and some say it's an entrance

the poor say the rich have the cure

the rich say the poor are the source

revolutionaries say it's physiological war

invented by the press, just to have something to report

some say the first case came from a maternity ward

some say a morgue, some say the skies, some say the floors

whores say the nuns, nuns say the whores

and everybody is sure

the scientist say it only affects the mind

the little boy said it only affects the girls

the preacher man said it's going to kill off the soul

a bum said it's going to kill the whole wide world.

[StillUnknown]

Yeah..

Each and every element that exists in this

universe is manifested from a thought first

Through the inner mind's eye of the unseen power in the sky

Gave birth to Mother Earth and all it's worth to you and I

This most loved invention, my conciousness is an extension

of Him, yet I'm flesh and bone with a mind of my own

To dig deeper than the surface, whether I learn

from your upcomings or your downfalls we all have individual purpose

It's amazing, how the streets do the majority of raising

of children who end up dead before hearing what you said

And it's sad, so all I can write about is what I had

Interpretations of life good and bad with a pen and pad

It seems like abortion, when I just write a small portion

It's either crumpled up or torn without lettin the thought be born

Young minded, and blinded in those days; I didn't want to

have a thought that I couldn't raise, nurture, and care for

Be there for, help prepare for, the times ahead

When someone doesn't agree with what is said, huh

And if they did, don't get all arrogant cause that's my kid

Just be thankful that it's good and somebody overstood

Now, the listener in here want the same flow but I gotta let it grow

Clever enough to let it go, if I don't wanna rap no mo'

And I'll make sure that no one ever forgets

It's immortalized forever, on wax CD's and casettes

And when someone goes to the store and purchases it for ten

The life cycle starts all over again

And I was granted this music as my soulmate, to procreate

and give back what I was given, a life worth livin

And I, am Still Standing, unscathed

Pain is for suckers to feel

MC's are running out of things to say, and

radio stations running out of songs to play, ****!

We Still Standing, unscathed

And pain is for suckers to feel, huh

And MC's running out of things to say...

[BigMike619]

If you had not have fallen

Then I would not have found you

Angel flying too close to the ground

And I patched up your broken wing

And hung around a while

Tried to keep your spirits up

And your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away

For love's the greatest healer to be found

So leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound

I'd rather see you up

Than see you down

Leave me if you need to

I will still remember

Angel flying too close to the ground

In the twilight glow I see her

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.

As we kissed good-bye and parted,

I knew we'd never meet again.

Love is like a dying ember.

Where only memories remain.

Through the ages I'll remember-

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.

Now my hair has turned to silver.

All my life I've loved in vain.

I can see her star in heaven.

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder,

We'll stroll hand in hand again.

In a land that knows no parting-

Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.

Teenage angst has paid off well

Now Im bored and old

Self-appointed judges judge

More than they have sold

If she floats than she is not

A witch like we had thought

A down payment on another

One at salems lot

Serve the servants - oh no

That legendary divorce is such a bore

As my bones grew they did hurt

They hurt really bad

I tried hard to have a father

But instead I had a dad

I just want you to know that i

Dont hate you anymore

There is nothing I could say

That I havent thought before

Serve the servants - oh no

That legendary divorce is such a bore

Rockets, moon shots

Spend it on the have nots

Money, we make it

Fore we see it you take it

Oh, make you wanna holler

The way they do my life

Make me wanna holler

The way they do my life

Make me wanna holler

The way they do my life

Make me wanna holler

And throw up both my hands

Yea, it makes me wanna holler

And throw up both my hands

Crime is increasing

Trigger happy policing

Panic is spreading

Dah, dah, dah

Mother, mother

Everybody thinks we're wrong

Who are they to judge us

Simply cause we wear our hair long

[Califan007 The Constipated]

I watch the ripples change their size

But never leave the stream

Of warm impermanence

So the days float through my eyes

But still the days seem the same

And these children that you spit on

As they try to change their worlds

Are immune to your consultations

They're quite aware of what they're going through

Changes ~David Bowie

Wrote this for my oldest daughter in the middle of my divorce last year:

"Daddy, pretend I'm a princess," you always used to say.

Well I guess you never knew my dear, your daddy always saw you that way.

It doesn't take a plastic crown, or little dress up shoes.

You can be my princess, just by being you.

I know you dream of white horses, and a castle on a hill.

Of meeting your prince charming, and I know someday you will.

But somewhere there's a princess, with a slightly different wish.

She's playing with her daddy, and it goes something like this.

"Daddy, pretend I'm a normal girl, doing normal girly things.

Pretend there is no castle; no gems or diamond rings.

Pretend that everyone loves me, just for being who I am.

Pretend I can melt my daddy's heart, just by taking hold of his hand."

"We'll pretend my name is Lacy, and I'm playing with my toys.

I'm playing with my daddy. I don't care about other boys.

I don't have to go and get dressed up, to get my picture took.

Or live up to the fables, in every storybook."

So Lacy, keep on dreaming, in everything you do.

But remember when you play princess, the princess wants to be you.

[Spaceman Spiff]

For seven years I dwelt

In the loose palace of exile

Playing strange games

With the girls of the island

Now I have come again

To the land of the fair, and the strong, and the wise

Brothers and sisters of the pale forest

O Children of Night

Who among you will run with the hunt?

Now Night arrives with her purple legion

Retire now to your tents and to your dreams

Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth

I want to be ready'

[HighOnHendrix]

Money, get away,

Get a good job, make more pay and you're O.K.

Money, it's a gas,

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash,

New car, caviar, four star daydream,

Think I'll buy me a football team,

Money, get back,

I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.

Money, it's a hit,

But don't give me that do goody good bull****,

I'm in the hi-fidelity first class traveling set,

And I think I need a Lear jet.

Money, it's a crime,

Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.

Money, so they say,

Is the root of all evil today,

But if you ask for a rise,

It's no surprise,

That they're giving none away.

Money - Pink Floyd

[BigMike619]

Elvis was a hero to most

But he never meant **** to me you see

Straight up racist that sucker was

Simple and plain

Mother **** him and John Wayne

Cause I'm Black and I'm proud

I'm ready and hyped plus I'm amped

Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

[Koolblue13]

Low down, once again

Well I'm strugglin' now

To get by, my friend

It's keepin' me up

Real late at night

I just can't settle down

My honky tonk life

Driftin' around 'bout a half past four

With the blues on my back

And a bottle on the floor

Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down

'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me Low down

Low down

Once again

Well I'm strugglin' now

To get by my friend

It's keepin' me up real late at night

Hell I can't settle down my honky tonk life

Driftin' around 'bout half past four

With the blues on my back

And a bottle on the floor

Drinkin' until I think I'm gonna fall down

'Cause my sweet little baby had to kick me lowdown

Low Down

Once again

Well I'm strugglin' now

Just to get by my friend

********************************

Well, I have got no money but I am doin' fine.

I'm just a hillbilly hell-raiser; I'm tryin' to kill my time.

An' I'm lookin' for that gal, about five foot ten.

An' I'm gonna take her down that road of livin' a life of sin.

Because I'm drinkin', druggin': I'm havin' lots of fun.

I always carry round my loaded shotgun.

If I think I'm gonna have a bad time,

I got a little bit of smoke an' a whole lotta wine.

-Instrumental break-

Well, I once had this gal: I thought she'd be my bride.

But then she had to leave my ass for that other guy.

An' now I'm drinkin', druggin': I'm havin' lots of fun.

I always carry round my loaded shotgun.

If I think I'm gonna have a bad time,

I got a little bit of smoke an' a whole lotta wine.

-Instrumental break-

Well, I don't really care if you hate me, you see,

'Cause I'm just a country boy from the state of Tennessee.

A little bit crazy, on the loudish side,

'Cause I like drink my whiskey an' I like to get high.

An' now I'm drinkin', druggin': I'm havin' lots of fun.

I always carry round my loaded shotgun.

If I think I'm gonna have a bad time,

I got a little bit of smoke an' a whole lotta wine.

Fight the Power - PE. Probably the most shocking and in your face lyrics I have ever heard in a rap song. My jaw hit the floor..

Everything about Pub Enemy was in your face. Rap used to really be my thing until I discovered how awesome classic rock and blues are.

[Koolblue13]

When I was young,

I was so full of fear

I hid behind anger,

Held back the tears

It was me against the world,

I was sure that I'd win

The world fought back,

Punished me for my sins

I felt so alone,

So insecure,

I blamed you instead

And made sure I was heard

And they tried to warn me

Of my evil ways

But I couldn't hear

What they had to say

(chorus)

I was wrong,

Self destruction's got me again

I was wrong,

I realized now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves,

Well I've had a few

I'm sorry that I hurt them,

Did I hurt you too

I took what I wanted,

Put my heart on the shelf

How can you love me

When you don't love yourself

It was me against the world,

I was sure that I'd win

The world fought back,

Punished me for my sins

And they tried to warn me

Of my evil ways

But I couldn't hear

What they had to say

(chorus)

I was wrong,

Self destruction's got me again

I was wrong,

I realized now that I was wrong

I was wrong (2x)

I grew up fast,

I grew up hard

Something was wrong

From the very start

I was fighting everybody,

I was fighting everything

But the only one

That I hurt was me

I got society's blood

Running down my face

Somebody help me

Get outta this place

How could someone's

Bad luck last so long

Until I realized

That I was wrong

(chorus)

I was wrong,

Self destruction's got me again

I was wrong,

I realized now that I was wrong

******************************

Well it's been ten years, and a thousand tears

And look at the mess I'm in-

A broken nose and a broken heart,

An empty bottle of gin

Well I sit and I pray

In my broken down Chevrolet-

While I'm singin' to myself

There's got to be another way

Chorus:

Take away, take away

Take away this ball and chain

I'm lonely and I'm tired

And I can't take any more pain

Take away, take away

Never to return again

Take away, take away

Take away this ball and chain

Well I've searched and I've searched

To find the perfect life-

A brand new car and a brand new suit

I even got me a little wife-

But wherever I have gone

I was sure to find myself there-

You can run all your life

But not go anywhere

Chorus:

Take away, take away

Take away this ball and chain

I'm sick and I'm tired

And I can't take any more pain

Take away, take away

Never to return again

Take away, take away

Take away this ball and chain

Well I'll pass the bar on the way

To my dingy hotel room-

I spent all my money

Been drinkin' since a half past noon-

I'll wake there in the mornin'

Or maybe in the county jail-

Times are hard getting harder

I'm born to lose and destined to fail-

Chorus:

Take away, take away

Take away this ball and chain

I'm lonely and I'm tired

And I can't take any more pain

Take away, take away

Never to return again

Take away, take away

Take away this ball and chain

Man, I can so relate to that :applause:...
