Deborah J Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Cat Stevens - Where Do The Children Play Well I think it's fine, building jumbo planesOr taking a ride on a cosmic trainSwitch on summer from a slot machineYes, get what you want to if you want, 'cause you can get anythingI know we've come a long wayWe're changing day to dayBut tell me, where do the children play?Well you roll on roads over fresh green grassFor your lorry loads, pumping petrol gasAnd you make them long, and you make them toughBut they just go on and on, and it seems that you can't get offOh, I know we've come a long wayWe're changing day to dayBut tell me, where do the children play?Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the airBut will you keep on building higher till there's no more room up thereWill you make us laugh, will you make us cry?Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?I know we've come a long wayWe're changing day to dayBut tell me, where do the children play?

Patrycja Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 "If It Be Your Will" by Leonard CohenIf it be your willThat I speak no moreAnd my voice be stillAs it was beforeI will speak no moreI shall abide untilI am spoken forIf it be your willIf it be your willThat a voice be trueFrom this broken hillI will sing to youFrom this broken hillAll your praises they shall ringIf it be your willTo let me singFrom this broken hillAll your praises they shall ringIf it be your willTo let me singIf it be your willIf there is a choiceLet the rivers fillLet the hills rejoiceLet your mercy spillOn all these burning hearts in hellIf it be your willTo make us wellAnd draw us nearAnd bind us tightAll your children hereIn their rags of lightIn our rags of lightAll dressed to killAnd end this nightIf it be your willIf it be your will.

Stairway is NOT stolen Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Wasted Years - iron MaidenFrom the coast of gold, across the seven seasI'm travellin' on, far and wideBut now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myselfAnd all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me butsomeone elseI close my eyes, and think of homeAnother city goes by in the nightAin't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it'sgone awayAnd my heart is lying there and will be 'til mydying daySo understandDon't waste your time always searching forthose wasted yearsFace up... make your standAnd realise you're living in the golden yearsToo much time on my hands, I got you on my mindCan't ease this pain, so easilyWhen you can't find the words to say it's hard tomake it through another dayAnd it makes me wanna cry and throw myhands up to the skySo understandDon't waste your time always searching forthose wasted yearsFace up... make your standAnd realise you're living in the golden years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeyyaa Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Are these lyrics good or bad? Sorry, I have just come from BS-fiends message board. "Naïveté In Black" Guess we're all running out of timeSo live your own life and let me live mineTo each their own to question whyWe're all just links that forge the chain of lifeBut who am I to interfereThink for yourself and keep your conscience really clearLearn from each other so they sayBut no-one listens to them anywayInactive factions stir in timeProcrastination at the scene of the crimeThere's no return, no guaranteeAccept the terms and let your fate be free be freeYou gotta let yourself seeAnd let your feelings go freeAccept your own abilityDon't want to end up like meA dynasty of doubt and hateReligion, politics, self-mutilateThe privilege of being hereAll born from nothing 'til we disappearThere's no return, no guaranteeAccept the terms and let your fate be free, you're free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moddey Dhoo Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 "I Can't Make You Love Me" Turn down the lights; Turn down the bed. Turn down these voices Inside my head. Lay down with me; Tell me no lies. Just hold me close; Don't patronize. Don't patronize me.[Chorus:] 'Cuz I can't make you love me If you don't. You can't make your heart feel Something it won't. Here in the dark In these final hours, I will lay down my heart And I'll feel the power; But you won't. No, you won't. 'Cuz I can't make you love me If you don't. I'll close my eyes, Then I won't see The love you don't feel When you're holding me. Morning will come, And I'll do what's right; Just give me till then To give up this fight. And I will give up this fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 "Red Sector A" - Rush All that we can do is just survive All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive Ragged lines of ragged grey Skeletons, they shuffle away Shouting guards and smoking guns Will cut down the unlucky ones I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed A wound that will not heal A heart that cannot feel Hoping that the horror will recede Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed Sickness to insanity Prayer to profanity Days and weeks and months go by Don't feel the hunger Too weak to cry I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate Are the liberators here? Do I hope or do I fear? For my father and my brother, it's too late But I must help my mother stand up straight Are we the last ones left alive? Are we the only human beings to survive?

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 "Afterimage" - Rush Suddenly, you were gone From all the lives you left your mark upon I remember How we talked and drank into the misty dawn I hear the voices We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn I see the footprints I remember I feel the way you would I feel the way you would Tried to believe but you know it's no good This is something that just can't be understood I remember The shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods I hear the echoes I learned your love for life, I feel the way that you would I feel your presence I remember I feel the way you would This just can't be understood...

reswati Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Astra: Barefoot in the head Falling apart from everyone Follow the setting sun Out of time Caught in the siphon circle Braincaged in the dark Deeper down, mirrored without a sound Time and again it fades away Hollow the patterning fray Reason rime Unravelling the webwork Disintegrate River rust, turning to carbon dust Spirit the hours, day after day Chasing the bright side, losing the way Burning out and barefoot in the head I'm hanging by a thread the writing on the wall Lost and bound inside the grey machine And nothing in between can break the final fall Shadow the winding mind from here Prophet and prey to the fear Draw the line Just on the lunatic fringe Balancing there On the edge, driving another wedge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepscoda Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Went out walkin' through the wood the other day And the world was a carpet laid before me The buds were bursting and the air smelled sweet and strange Seemed about a hundred years ago Mary and I, we would sit upon a gate Just gazin' at some dragon in the sky What tender days we had no secrets hid away Well, it seemed about a hundred years ago Now all my friends are wearing worried smiles Living out a dream of what they was Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up? Went out walkin' through the wood the other day Can't you see the furrows in my forehead? What tender days we had no secrets hid away Now it seems about a hundred years ago Now if you see me drinkin' bad red wine Don't worry 'bout this man that you love Don't you think it's sometimes wise not to grow up? You're gonna kiss and say goodbye, yeah, I warn you You're gonna kiss and say goodbye, yeah, I warn you You're gonna kiss and say goodbye, oh Lord, I warn you Please excuse me while I hide away Call me lazy bones, ain't got no time to waste away Lazy bones ain't got no time to waste away Don't you think, don't you think it's just about time to hide away?

I believe in what I see I believe in what I hear I believe that what I'm feeling Changes how the world appears Angels and demons dancing in my head Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed Media messiahs preying on my fears Pop culture prophets playing in my ears I've got celestial mechanics To synchronize my stars Seasonal migrations, daily variations World of the unlikely and bizarre I've got idols and icons, unspoken holy vows Thoughts to keep well-hidden Sacred and forbidden Free to browse among the holy cows That's why I believe Angels and demons inside of me Saviors and Satans all around me Sweet chariot, swing low, coming for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
