Bruce Springsteen, Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out

Tear drops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Well everybody better move over, that's all
'Cause I'm running on the bad side
And I got my back to the wall
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Well I was stranded in the jungle
Trying to take in all the heat they was giving
The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quite real fast
I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
And kid you better get the picture
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
And I can't go home

When the changes was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh

When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
With the Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out...

Urma-Buy me with a coffee

Instead of wastead gifts around
Instead of losing all we have
Instead of dreaming of a man you'll never have
You'd better breathe with me and feel...

Instead of planning and debating
Instead of shaping my own dreams
Instead of dreaming of a son you'll never have
You'd better breathe with me and feel...

You can buy me with a coffee
I'm so cheap...

Instead of letting distance talk
Instead of losing all we have
Instead of dreaming of a man I'll never be
You'd better breathe with me and feel...

Instead of judging day and night
Instead of wasted time on both sides
Instead of guessing what the hell went wrong with me
You'd better breathe with me and feel...

You can buy me wïth a coffee
I'm so cheap...
One day I'm gonna lose the war.

SAVATAGE - Conversation Piece

I haven't thought about you for awhile
It seemed so far away
I keep your picture hidden in a file
Of favorite one act plays

Like pieces of myself
Cut off in desperation
As offerings to thee
I keep them on a shelf
They're good for conversation
Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea

I put it all down in a letter once
A letter I don't send
It made me feel much better at the time
I thought it'd help me mend

The pieces of myself
Cut off in desperation
As offerings to thee, yeah
I keep them on a shelf
They're good for conversation
Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea


Don't let this come true... >_>

You'd better stop
And try to think
Look what you're doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to
Give it all you got
Cause you forgot
To take it to the top
Come On
Ruby Blue

Why do you make a start
With no means to go on?
It's on the tip of your…
Ruby, we used to love you truly
You used to make us laugh
It really was a gas…

But now you're a bore

One
Two
Three

It was you
And them
And me
Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

You'd better stop
And try to think
Look what you're doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to
Give it all you've got
Cause you forgot
To take it to the top
Come on Ruby Blue
Ah Yeah

Nobody cares anyway
If you play the painted lady

Four and more and
Five and six
Who would have believed
It would come to this?
Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

You'd better stop
And try to think
Look what you're doing
Oh, Ruby

You never get to
Give it all you've got
Cause you forgot
To take it to the top
Oh Ruby Blue

One
Two and
Three
Look what you're doing
Ah Ruby
It was you
And them
And ME

Look what you do
Oh, Ruby Blue

Got no need for the fancy things
All the attention that it brings
Tell me no, I say yes, I was chosen
And I will deliver the explosion

Can't say it's gonna get me far
Do no good to say what you are
I run the streets and I break up houses
River runs deep and the flame devours it

Me, I'm a Creator
Thrill is to make it up
The rules I break got me a place
Up on the radar
Me, I'm a Taker
Know what the stakes are
Can't roll it back, it's understood
Got to play our cards

Sit tight I know what you are
mad bright but you ain't no star
polish up til you make it gleam
your M.O, I know what you mean
Tail ridin' and I know it's true
while they screamin' I love you
Down deep you know there ain't no flow
a soul decay, was D.O.A

I know what you here for now
Words out you're an idea whore though,
now don't you crush on me
I'll see you in your pipe dreams
whether or not you know it's true
You're who they dictate to
That shit must hurt real bad
fakin' what you wish you had


Here all the folks come ask about me
Band wagon, know they used to doubt me
Blind side tend to hit real hard
you should heed the warning, get a body guard
Steady friction in this bitch
Creepin' in just like an itch
so far I got the last laugh
still the rich rise up, still I live fast
wouldn't know it face to face
Got no soul and got no taste
Moving in speed up the pace
I got it locked though, what a waste
All the talk is standard fare
Walk the walk if it gets you there
on the grind til the gig is up
I'm 'a smash 'em down
put a muzzle on them like "what!"

Seven -Vagiant

Well this is a letter
To everyone who thinks that they know better
To every girl that thinks that I won't get her
If she's rough with you
There's nothing that I'd rather do than fight

This is a warning
To everyone who thinks that I'm in mourning
You know they're wrong in fact
I'm reassuring you that I'll be true
Won't let no one mess with you tonight

So it's gonna be
Heads up, heads up
They're gonna get
Messed up, messed up
For making you cry
And please don't you
Get down, get down
Cause you were no
Let down, let down
I won't say goodbye

I got your back until I die
I don't care if you don't want me sticking by
I'll keep ten feet behind just to walk you home
And I'm gonna protect you till I die
I won't let nobody hurt you again
I'll rough up your next girlfriend if she breaks your heart

This is forever
I'm done pretending that it's now or never
Got no other motives what so ever than to talk to you
Make sure that you're gonna be all right

So I'll see you later
If you meet someone go ahead and date her
And if she's good to you then I won't hate her
I won't fuck her up
But if she's bad to you well then I might

So it's gonna be
Heads up, heads up
They're gonna get
Messed up, messed up
For making you cry
And please don't you
Get down, get down
Cause you were no
Let down, let down
I won't say goodbye

I got your back until I die
I don't care if you don't want me sticking by
I'll keep ten feet behind just to walk you home
And I'm gonna protect you till I die
I won't let nobody hurt you again
I'll rough up your next girlfriend if she breaks your heart

And I got your back until I die
I don't care if you don't want me sticking by
I'll keep ten feet behind just to walk you home
And I'm gonna protect you till I die
I won't let nobody hurt you again
I'll rough up your next girlfriend if she breaks your heart

Bad Religion - 1000 More Fools

I heard them say that the meek shall reign on earth,
Phantasmal myriads of sane bucolic birth.
I've seen the rapture in a starving baby's eyes,
Inchoate beatitude, the Lord of the Flies.
So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray?
Kaleidoscoping images of love on the way.
Brother you'd better get down on your knees and pay.
1,000 more fools are being born every f***ing day.
They try to tell me that the lamb is on the way,
With microwave transmissions they bombard us every day.
The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep.
The vortex of their minds ensconsed within the murky deep.
So what does it mean when your mind starts to stray?
Kaleidoscoping images of love on the way.
Brother you'd better get down on your knees and pay.
1,000 more fools are being born every f***ing day.

god I love this song. a ballad to the growing mass of willful ignorance.

If someone stood up in a crowd
And raised his voice up way out loud
And waved his arm
And shook his leg
You'd notice him

If someone in a movie show
Yelled "fired in the second row,
This whole place is a powder keg!"
You'd notice him

And even without clucking like a hen
Everyone gets noticed, now and then,
Unless, of course, that personage should be
Invisible, inconsequential me!

Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name !!!!
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there!

I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me walk right by me
And never know I'm there. . .

Suppose you was a little cat
Residin' in a person's flat
Who fed you fish and scratched your ears?
You'd notice him

Suppose you was a woman wed
And sleepin' in a double bed beside one man for seven years
You'd notice him

A human being's made of more than air
With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there

Unless that human bein' next to you
Is unimpressive, undistinguished
You know who. . .

Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there
I tell ya
Cellophane
Mister cellophane
Should have been my name
Mister cellophane
'cause you can look right through me
Walk right by me
And never know I'm there
Never even know I'm there

That song reminded me of this one.

Janine by Trooper

She's sitting on the corner of her bed
In a small rented room in Montreal
Long curly hair, hands between her knees
With her head hung down
She hasn't said a word since morning
I don't understand
She usually talks like a little bird
Today she hasn't made a sound
Janine, Janine, talk to me, Janine
Don't even know if she's listening to me
I might be talking to myself hopelessly
While she looks right through me
Like I'm not even here

If only there were something I could say
To make her believe it's going to be okay
And there's just no way
She'll ever have to live alone
Janine, Janine, believe in me, Janine ...
Janine, don't you see that it doesn't really matter
What anybody says, what anybody does
I'll still love you
I'll still love you
And if the world's getting harder and harder
To understand
And you need a hand
I'll be there when you need me
I'm going to be there when you need me
Janine, Janine, you're not alone, Janine ...

This is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends
Some people... started singing it
Not knowing what it was
And they'll continues singing it
Forever just because

The boy who wanted to be a real puppet by Sonata Arctica

So many years ago, many more than I'd
Even care to bear in my mind
From the darkest of all places I found you

All the limbs in their right places
and a heart made of real gold
Sell me your little doll, oh sir, I ask you kind.

Every night I'd return to watch them
The master and the puppet in the show.
He said: "Oh no, I cannot sell him...
Priceless he is, masterpiece of mine."

Please, sell me your puppet, sir.
Name your price oh please,
Whatever you may ask,
tenfold the price I pay

"Did I not make it clear?
This debate is over.
I will never part from this puppet, my son..."


With hungry eyes I followed them all night
The blind master and the puppet he had made
"No, sir, to sell is not my will!"
the doll is mine, even if I have to kill...


So it shall be, if this is what it takes
"Greed's truly blinder than me..."
"Heart of gold is what you wish for?"
"So, this little boy...wants to be.. a puppet, for real..?"


So, I have a golden heart
Now only needing the voice of the master
Never feel hunger, never grow older
My dream was to be a star in a real puppet... show!

It's so hard to remember my life,
the times before the show
"can I ever cut off the strings?"
"Take a bow, now dance and sing... Sing!"

Would you turn me to child again?
"No, never, I am your Guide."
You can see a small grin on the face
Of the master, when the puppet's in his place


Be careful of what you wish for
Wishes might come alive
The twines are pulling me every day and night...
The show, the glitter and all the fame
I'd give away for a life
Some things can end with a word, they say
This only ends with a sharp knife. Knife!

Mister Mister, Broken wings

Take these broken wings, and learn to fly again, learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing, the book of love will open up and let us in.

Kenny Loggins Footloose

Tonight I gotta cut Loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me off a my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose

Eric benet Chocolate legs
So baby Let's take my soul and set me free, I want you to know how much you mean to me; when you just wrap them chocolate legs around me.

Three days grace,Animal I have become.

So what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Kanye west, Heartless

How could you be so Dr. Evil?
You bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna to speak so
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone?
Why though she be so mad at me for?
Homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop wont mess my groove up
Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gonna see
You'll never find nobody better than me.


All the Lyrics that make me..me. :p

this song pretty much sums up my recent moods.

Caught in a Jar - Dropkick Murphys

Now there comes a time
in every man's life,
where decisions have to be made
whether to toil, to labor,
or just plain piss
your days away, away, away!

Got a funny feeling that my times are caught in a jar
madness and insanity have arrived
note to Christ and everyone else, my times are caught in a jar
Satan's grin is baring down on me

Up in the morn', here comes the day,
God knows I hate it this way
When I'm in the casket life
fighting the wife, neglecting the kids
spending time on ridiculous bids
The four walls are closing in

Got a funny feeling that my times are caught in a jar
madness and insanity have arrived
note to Christ and everyone else, my times are caught in a jar
Satan's grin is baring down on me

Still got a funny feeling that my times are caught in a jar
madness and insanity have arrived

Hello my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you

We said goodbye
With the smile on our faces
Now you're alone
You're so sad on your own
The truth is
We run out of time
Now you’re looking for me
Or anyone like me

No better song to listen to when thinking about death.

Chris Cornell - You know my name.

If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name

If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we all been playing

I've seen this diamond cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins

Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
Forget how to feel

Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
Spin of the wheel

Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?

The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
You know my name
