redrum Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 As opposed to the Crap Lyrics thread.This Old GuitarNeil YoungThis old guitar ain't mine to keepJust taking care of it nowIt's been around for years and yearsJust waiting in its old caseIt's been up and down the country roadsIt's brought a tear and a smileIt's seen its share of dreams and hopesAnd never went out of styleThe more I play it, the better it soundsIt cries when I leave it aloneSilently it waits for meOr someone else I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepscoda Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 "I Will Follow You Into The Dark"by , Death Cab For Cutie Love of mine, some day you will dieBut I'll be close behindI'll follow you into the darkNo blinding light or tunnels to gates of whiteJust our hands clasped so tightWaiting for the hint of a sparkIf Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the No's on their vacancy signsIf there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkIn Catholic school as vicious as Roman ruleI got my knuckles bruised by a lady in blackAnd I held my tongue as she told me,"Son, fear is the heart of love."So I never went backIf Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the No's on their vacancy signsIf there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkYou and me have seen everything to seeFrom Bangkok to CalgaryAnd the soles of your shoes are all worn downThe time for sleep is nowIt's nothing to cry about'Cause we'll hold each other soonIn the blackest of roomsIf Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the No's on their vacancy signsIf there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkThen I'll follow you into the dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redirtuo Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Too Many Puppies - PrimusToo many puppies are being shot in the dark.Too many puppies are trained not to bark.At the sight of blood that must be spilledso that we may maintain our oil fields.Too many puppiesToo many puppies are taught to heal.Too many puppies are trained to kill.On the command of men wearing money beltsThat buy mistresses sleek animal pelts.Too many puppies.Too many puppies with guns in their hands.Too many puppies in foreign lands.Are dressed up sharp in suits of green andPlaced upon the war machine.Too many puppies are just like me.Too many puppies are afraid to see.The visions of the past brought to life again,Too many puppies, too many dead men.

reswati Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Since the whole album has great lyrics it was hard to choose....Rose Colored Glasses (by Transatlantic........ Album : The Whirlwind)Long ago he saw the light of dayThen the wind it blew the man awayAnd I don't believe I wear rose colored glassesBut I believe the man is going homeLong ago he set the ship arightThen he sailed away into the nightAnd I don't believe I wear rose colored glassesBut I believe the man is going homeAnd I know that we are more than dust and ashesAnd one day we will know what we have knownBut on the dark sideThere are times of suffering(And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses)But as the pages turnOne day we'll learn of everythingBut now we see through glass...When the ending came I said goodbyeI hope to meet him on the other sideAnd I don't believe I wear rose colored glassesThat I believe we have the greatest hope(I believe we have the greatest hope)And I'll sing this as we're scattering the ashesI believe the man has gone back home...(I believe the man has gone back home)But on the dark sideThere are times of suffering(And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses)But as the pages turnOne day we'll learn of everythingBut now we see through glass...This world is not our homeYou can live like a rollin' stoneBut you cannot escape with your lifeWe seek a city on fireWith the heart of a child's desireWE will cross that bridgeand enter into life....real life... But on the dark sideThere are times of sufferingBut as the pages turnOne day we'll burn like lightningIn that city in the sky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepscoda Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Sisters of the way-side bide their time in quiet peace,Await their place within the ring of calm;Still stand to turn in seconds of release,Await the call they know may never come.In times of lightness, no intruder dared uponTo jeopardize the course, upset the run;And all was joy and hands were raised toward the sunAs love in the halls of plenty overrun.Aaah, ahhh...Still in their bliss unchallenged mighty feast,Unending dances shadowed on the day.Within their walls, their daunting formless keep,Preserved their joy and kept their doubts at bay.Faceless legions stood in readiness to weep,Just turn a coin, bring order to the fray;And everything is soon no sooner thought than deed,But no one seemed to question in anyway.Aaah, ahhh...How keen the storied hunter's eye prevails upon the landTo seek the unsuspecting and the weak;And powerless the fabled sat, too smug to lift a handToward the foe that threatened from the deep.Who cares to dry the cheeks of those who saddened standAdrift upon a sea of futile speech?And to fall to fate and make the status planBut no one there had heaven within their reach.Singin'....Where was your word, where did you go?Where was your helping, where was your bow? Bow.Dull is the armour, cold is the day.Hard was the journey, dark was the way. Way.I heard the word; I couldn't stay. Oh.I couldn't stand it another day, another day-ay,Another day, another day.Touched by the timely coming, Roused from the keeper's sleep,Release the grip, throw down the key.Held now within the knowing, Rest now within the peace.Take of the fruit, but guard the seed.They had to stay!Held now within the knowing, Rest now within the beat.Take of the fruit, but guard the seed...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well, here are a couple, for all the Rush fans out there (including me! ):"A Farewell To Kings" When they turn the pages of historyWhen these days have passed long agoWill they read of us with sadnessFor the seeds that we let grow?We turned our gazeFrom the castles in the distanceEyes cast downOn the path of least resistanceCities full of hatred, fear and liesWithered hearts and cruel, tormented eyesScheming demons dressed in kingly guiseBeating down the multitude andScoffing at the wiseThe hypocrites are slanderingThe sacred Halls of TruthAncient nobles showeringTheir bitterness on youthCan't we find the minds that made us strong?Can't we learn to feel what's rightAnd what's wrong?What's wrong?Cities full of hatred, fear and liesWithered hearts and cruel, tormented eyesScheming demons dressed in kingly guiseBeating down the multitude andScoffing at the wiseCan't we raise our eyes and make a start?Can't we find the minds to lead usCloser to the heart?

Patrycja Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Oh! Is this the unofficial Leonard Cohen thread? Before I pick one from a hat filled with decades of his songs, I want to start with "All My Love" whose words reside comfortably in the top spaces of the lyric Pantheon. Even though Robert's songwriting has grown in interesting ways over the years, this one will forever remain in its rightful place among them. "All My Love"Should I fall out of love, my fire in the lightTo chase a feather in the windWithin the glow that weaves a cloak of delightThere moves a thread that has no end.For many hours and days that pass ever soonthe tides have caused the flame to dimAt last the arm is straight, the hand to the loomIs this to end or just begin?[Chorus:]All of my love, all of my love,All of my love to you.[repeat]The cup is raised, the toast is made yet againOne voice is clear above the dinProud Arianne one word, my will to sustainFor me, the cloth once more to spin[Chorus]Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews timehis is the force that lies withinOurs is the fire, all the warmth we can findHe is a feather in the wind[Chorus] Ok, and now today's Leonard Cohen great lyric of the day, this from his latest album "Popular Problems":SAMSON IN NEW ORLEANS You said that you were with meYou said you were my friendDid you really love the cityOr did you just pretendYou said you loved her secretsAnd her freedoms hid awayShe was better than AmericaThat’s what I heard you sayYou said how could this happenYou said how can this beThe remnant all dishonoredOn the bridge of miseryAnd we who cried for mercyFrom the bottom of the pitWas our prayer so damn unworthyThe Son rejected it?So gather up the killersGet everyone in townStand me by those pillarsLet me take this temple downThe king so kind and solemnHe wears a bloody crownSo stand me by that columnLet me take this temple downYou said how could this happenYou said how can this beThe chains are gone from heavenThe storms are wild and freeThere’s other ways to answerThat certainly is trueMe, I’m blind with death and angerAnd that’s no place for youThere’s a woman in the windowAnd a bed in Tinsel TownI’ll write you when it’s overLet me take this temple down Edited December 10, 2015 by Patrycja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on, stay insideThis holy reality, this holy experience.Choosing to be here inThis body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone inThis body, this body holding me, feeling eternalAll this pain is an illusion.Alive, IIn this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here inThis body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone inThis body, this body holding me, feeling eternalAll this pain is an illusion.Twirling round with this familiar parable.Spinning, weaving round each new experience.Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.Embrace this moment.

redirtuo Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) A Requirement in any Great Lyrics thread..(Ahem) It was an April morning when they told us we should goAs I turn to you, you smiled at meHow could we say no?With all the fun to have, to live the dreams we always hadOh, the songs to sing, when we at last return againSending off a glancing kiss, to those who claim they knowBelow the streets that steam and hiss,The devil's in his holeOh to sail away, To sandy lands and other daysOh to touch the dream, Hides inside and never seen.Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flownThe shackles of commitment fell, In pieces on the groundOh to ride the wind, To tread the air above the dinOh to laugh aloud, Dancing as we fought the crowdTo seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfoldsWith guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stoneIf one bell should ring, in celebration for a kingSo fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet.Days went by when you and I, bathed in eternal summers glowAs far away and distant, Our mutual child did growOh the sweet refrain, Soothes the soul and calms the painOh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise againWandering & wandering, What place to rest the searchThe mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earthThe mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earthFrom the earth...I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way [X2]Oh the mighty arms of Atlas, Hold the heavens from the earth.

redrum Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 I like the version by Sting. "I Hung My Head" Early one morning with time to killI borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hillI saw a lone rider crossing the plainI drew a bead on him to practice my aimMy brother's rifle went off in my handA shot rang out across the landThe horse he kept running, the rider was deadI hung my head, I hung my headI set off running to wake from the dreamAnd my brother's rifle went into the streamI kept on running into the salt landsAnd that's where they found me, my head in my handsThe sheriff he asked me "Why had I run"Then it came to me just what I had doneAnd all for no reason, just one piece of leadI hung my head, I hung my headHere in the courthouse, the whole town is thereI see the judge high up in his chair"Explain to the courtroom what went through your mindAnd we'll ask the jury what verdict they find"I said "I felt the power of death over lifeI orphaned his children, I widowed his wifeI beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"I hung my head, I hung my headEarly one morning with time to killI see the gallows up on the hillAnd out in the distance a trick of the brainI see a lone rider crossing the plainHe's come to fetch me to see what they doneWe'll ride together til Kingdom comeI pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be deadI hung my head, I hung my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reswati Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 "The Sky Is A Landfill" by Jeff Buckley Circle around the parkJoining hands in silenceWatch the evil black the skyThe storm has ripped the shelterOf illusion from our browThis power is no mystery to us now.Leave your spirit genocideThe cancer you won't removeWe cast our funeral rose insideAnd bury the need to proveOur mutilation is to gain from the systemOoh, turn your head awayFrom the screen, oh peopleIt will tell you nothing moreDon't suck the milk of flaccid Bill K.Public's empty promiseTo the people that the public can ignoreThis way of life is so devisedTo snuff out the mind that movesMoving with grace the men despiseAnd women have learned to loseThrow off your shame or bea slave to the systemI see you take another dragOne more lost soul to raise your flagThe sky is a landfillI see you take another dragLet's see you take another dragYou like to dance to the rollingHead of the adulteressYou sing in praise of suicideWe know you're uselessLike cops at the scene of the crimeWith your steroids and your feedbagAnd your stable and your trainerI got a mail bomb for you Mister Strong Arm.Throw out the stones from all the cemetery homesFor the violence of a nation gone byOr the politics of weaknessAnd the garbage dump of soulsThat will now black the skyTheir yellow haze and crowds of eyesWill plug up the mind that movesMoving with grace the men despiseAnd women have learned to loseWe'll share our bodiesIn disdain for the systemOh, I see you take another dragOne nation bends to kiss the hagThe sky is a landfillI see you take another dragI see you take another dragI have no fear of this machine!
