Cowgirl in the sand - Neil Young

Hello cowgirl in the sand

Is this place

at your command

Can I stay here

for a while

Can I see your

sweet sweet smile

Old enough now

to change your name

When so many love you

is it the same?

It's the woman in you

that makes you want

to play this game.

Hello ruby in the dust

Has your band

begun to rust

After all

the sin we've had

I was hopin' that

we'd turn back

Old enough now

to change your name

When so many love you

is it the same

It's the woman in you

that makes you want

to play this game.

Hello woman of my dreams

This is not

the way it seems

Purple words

on a grey background

To be a woman

and to be turned down

Old enough now

to change your name

When so many love you

is it the same

It's the woman in you

that makes you want

to play this game.

Are You Gonna Go My Way-Lenny Kravitz

I was born long ago

I am the chosen I'm the one

I have come to save the day

And I won't leave until I'm done

So that's why you've got to try

You got to breath and have some fun

Though I'm not paid I play this game

And I won't stop until I'm done

But what I really want to know is

Are you gonna go my way?

And I got to got to know

I don't know why we always cry

This we must leave and get undone

We must engage and rearrange

And turn this planet back to one

So tell me why we got to die

And kill each other one by one

We've got to love and rub-a-dub

We've got to dance and be in love

But what I really want to know is

Are you gonna go my way?

And I got to got to know

Are you gonna go my way?

'Cause baby I got to know

Yeah

You Better You Bet-The Who

You better you better you bet.

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes.

I sometimes feel I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets

I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes

I got your body right now on my mind but I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex

To the sound of old T-Rex, oh and Who's Next

[Chorus:]

When I say I love you you say you better you better you better you bet

When I say I need you you say you better you better you better you bet

You better bet your life, or love will cut you like a knife

I want those feeble minded axes overthrown

I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose

You welcome me with open arms and open legs

I know only fools have needs but this one never begs

I don't really mind how much you love me, ooh, a little is alright

When you say come over and spend the night, tonight, tonight

[Chorus: (as above)]

I lay on the bed with you, we could make some book of records

Your dog keeps licking my nose and chewing up all those letters

Saying "you better", you better bet your life

You better love me, all the time now

You better shove me back into line now

You better love me, all the time now

You better shove me back into line now.

I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa

But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier

I know that I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy sometime

But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line every time.

And when it comes to all night living, I know what I'm giving

I've got it all down to a tee, and it's free.

[Chorus: (as above)]

ROCKS OFF

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Oh yeah!

I hear you talking when I'm on the street,

Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak.

What's the matter with the boy?

He don't come around no more,

Is he checking out for sure?

Is he gonna close the door on me?

I'm always hearing voices on the street,

I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak.

I was making love last night

To a dancer friend of mine.

I can't seem to stay in step,

'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me.

And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming,

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed.

Plug in, flush out and fire the fuckin' feed.

Heading for the overload,

Splattered on the dirty road,

Kick me like you've kicked before,

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming, (only get them off)

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping.

Feel so hypnotized, can't describe the scene.

Its all mesmerized all that inside me.

The sunshine bores the daylights out of me.

Chasing shadows moonlight mystery.

Headed for the overload,

Splattered on the dirty road,

Kick me like you've kicked before,

I can't even feel the pain no more.

But I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming (only get them off, get them off),

I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping (only get them off, get them off).

Back In The Saddle

I'm back

I'm back in the saddle again

I'm back

I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone

By the light of the moon

I'm looking for ol Sukie Jones

She crazy horse saloon

Barkeep gimme a drink

That's when she caught my eye

She turned to give me a wink

That make a grown man cry

(Chorus)

Come easy, go easy

All right until the rising sun

I'm calling all the shots tonight

I'm like a loaded gun

Peelin' off my boots and chaps

I'm saddle sore

Four bits gets you time in the racks

I scream for more

Fools' gold out of their mines

The girls are soaking wet

Not tounge's drier than mine

I'll come when I get back

I'm back in the saddle again

I'm back

I'm back in the saddle again

I'm riding, I'm loading up my pistol

I'm riding, I really got a fistful

I'm riding, I'm shining up my saddle

I'm riding, this snake is gonna rattle

(Chorus)

Ridin' high

Ridin' high

Ridin' high already

...because it is...

The sadest and most beautiful lyrics I know:

Two Gallants - Threnody in B Minor

Gather ‘round you wounded people; shadows fall upon the steeple. Soon shall come the closing of, the closing of the gates. For there is word of plague among us. Curse the one whose poison stung us. All along they alleyways the satyrs wait their fate. But who’s to blame when all are guilty; morals stained and conscience filthy, abreast your idol replicas, your replicas of lust. In the sky i hear the threshing. Dare to watch your lord undressing. While you beg forgiveness you feed on his disgust. But if perhaps the salt might stain your skin, and if perhaps the smoke might weep your eyes, listen while the threnodies begin. Know no one in here gets out alive.

But let your frailty not deceive you; a little pinprick, rest relieves you, and dream of all the days that are, the years that are to come. For you will dance and you’ll be nimble_pirouettes upon a thimble_and i will be beside you lest i lose you once again. But if perhaps my sorrows are all show and i should find a crack among the gates, guilt shall follow me where ever i go. Though i try i know i cant escape.

And when you’re gone the earth will crumble. I will try but i will stumble and all through these city streets my robes shall drag the ground. Hear the children swing with sorrow. Yesterday was once tomorrow. No more i’ll be troubled by the troubles of this world. But if i lose my step along the way, and if the speech of victim fills my throat, out beyond the cliffs that shape the day. It’s there i’ll wander, there i’ll stray. It’s there i’ll look for you when all my trials are done.

I feign to sleep to save my breath. This love is loss this life is theft, and all that’s left is some vain need to carry on. And though i fear the tightening of the skies, against the dawn i’ll watch you rise. Oh lord, the company i keep within my head. The scent of flesh might tease the nose. It claims the calm it clings the clothes. Could that be you my love, your dust upon the wind?

Bitch-The Rolling Stones

Feeling so tired, can't understand it

Just had a fortnight's sleep

I'm feeling so tired, Ow! so distracted

Ain't touched a thing all week

I'm feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy

Ain't touched a drink all night

I'm feeling hungry, can't see the reason

Just ate a horse meat pie

Yeah when you call my name

I salivate like a Pavlov dog

Yeah when you lay me out

My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum, alright

Yeah, you got to mix it child

You got to fix it must be love

It's a bitch

You got to mix it child

You got to fix it but love

It's a bitch, alright

Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud

Kicking the stall all night

Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on

Don't have no bark or bite, alright

Yeah when you call my name

I salivate like a Pavlov dog

Yeah when you lay me out

My heart is bumpin' louder than a big bass drum, alright

I said hey, yeah I feel alright now

Got to be a...

Hey, I feel alright now

Hey hey hey

Hey hey yeah...

Kick It Out

~Heart

Out of the street - get on home

Tail shaking filly running on her own

They say she got loose on the night

She was born

Cranking it up in a school zone

"Kick it out - Kick it out", she said

"kick out your motor and drive

While you're still alive - kick it out!"

Sitting in a bar in a seaside town

Sweet little love getting high getting down

Sailors see her running along the beach

Laugh and jump out of reach

Wild music blowing in her mane

She needs a bareback rider won't give her

No pain

A hard racy game of give and take

Leaves them dazed - half crazed- in her wake

"Kick it out - Kick it out", she said

"kick out your motor and drive

While you're still alive - kick it out!"

Athena-The Who

Athena, I had no idea how much I'd need her

In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her

My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong

But I think I'll get along

She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Athena, all I ever want to do is please her

My life has been so settled and she's the reason

Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone

But I think I'll get along

She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Just a girl just a girl

Just a girl just a girl

Just a girl just a girl

She's just a girl

Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath

I felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy path

I'd of topped myself to give her time she didn't need to ask

Was I a suicidal psychopath?

She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage

He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage

I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed

You were requisitioned blondie

She's just a girl - she's a bomb

I'm happy, I'm ecstatic

Just a girl just a girl

Just a girl just a girl

Just a girl just a girl

She's just a girl

Look into the face of a child

Measure how long you smiled

Before the memory claimed

How long would children remain

How long would children remain

Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"

It felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter

And now you're stuck with a castrated leader

And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that

She's a bomb

I just said it

She's a bomb

I didn't mean it, please

She's a bomb

Athena, I had no idea how much I need her

My life has been so settled and she's the reason

Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone

But I get along

She's just a girl, she's a bomb

She's just a girl, she's a bomb

Danger Bird

Neil Young

Danger bird, he flies alone

And he rides the wind back to his home

Although his wings have turned to stone

And we used to be so calm

Now I think about you all day long That's the moment that he cracked

'Cause you've been with another man long ago in the museum with his friends.

Here you are and here I am.

The jailbird takes the raps

And he finds himself spread-eagled on the tracks

But the training that he learned will get him nowhere fast.

And I know we should be free (With the rain pounding on his back he recalls)

But freedom's just a prison to me (the moment that he cracked long ago in the museum)

'Cause I lied to keep it kind (with his friends)

When I left you far behind. (And like those memories the rain keeps pounding)

down, down, down

And though these wings have turned to stone

I can fly fly fly away.

Watch me fly above the city

Like a shadow on the sky.

Fly, fly, fly.

Astronomy-Blue Oyster Cult

Clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst

Out at you from their hiding place

Like acid and oil on a madman’s face

His reason tends to fly away

Like lesser birds on the four winds

Like silver scrapes in May

And now the sands become a crust

Most of you have gone away

Come Susie dear, let’s take a walk

Just out there upon the beach

I know you’ll soon be married

And you’ll want to know where winds come from

Well it’s never said at all

On that map that Carrie reads

Behind the clock back there you know

At the Four Winds Bar

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Four winds at the Four Winds Bar

Two doors bought and windows barred

One door to let to take you in

The other one just mirrors it

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hellish glare and inference

The other one’s a duplicate

The Queenly flux, eternal light

Or the light that never warms

Yes, the light that never, never warms

Or the light that never

Never warms

Never warms

Never warms

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst

Out at you from their hiding place

Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear

Would find themselves at the Four Winds Bar

It’s the nexus of the crisis

And the origin of storms

Just the place to hopelessly

Encounter time and then came me

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Call me Desdinova

Eternal light

These gravely digs of mine

Will surely prove a sight

And don’t forget my dog

Fixed and consequent

Asilos Magdalena-The Mars Volta

Enfermo llegé

y para componerme

ando de vago

No me des tu obedencia

porque te enseño mi cuerpo de lodo

donde el piel estubo debil

con una hambre que no me deje cantar

En mi vida

el oscuro me mantiene

cuando yo te vi

en la lluvia me

prometistes tu sangre

Yo no me quedo

Ya que calle de este mundo

cargo una navaja dios mio para ti

Cuantas veces me mordiste

y cuantas veces yo me fui

ya no estoy enamorado

con tus mentiras

pa el infierno me duermo

porque el infierno es la unica verdad

En mi vida

el oscuro me mantiene

cuando yo te vi

en la lluvia me

prometistes tu sangre yo no me quedo

Estrella de la mañana

samael te persigo a ti

y si me quedo sin alas

ademas me muero por ti

Ghost-The 69 Eyes

I've been around in the runaway places

I've seen them all where the angels bleed

I've lost and found all your traces

I guess I tried for the reason you loved me

Until you find out

So hard to be there when you need me

When you try not to find

So hard to be there when you need me

When you try not to mind

There's no-one home tonight

Ghost

What comes around the fall embraces

And seals it all till the winter's deep

What's been love the pain replaces

I guess I lied for the reason you loved me

Until you find out

So hard to be there when you need me

When you try not to find

So hard to be there when you need me

When you try not to mind

There's no-one home tonight

Two Gallants - Fly Low Carrion Crow

fly low ye carion crow

seize my body for the dead I owe

drop me high into the depths below

for the things I've seen no one else should know

it's just you and me and my rib-caged brain

we polish the brass and we dust the pain

and we lay down fallow like slaveless chains

and they call us sick as though they're all so sane

so fly low ye carion crow

and seize my body for to free my soul

and drop me high into the depths below

for the things I've seen no one else should know

and what speak you of a love so bold?

and if song could sing, no word could hold

but I warn you now of an end foretold

and a life long waiting for a death below

so fly low ye carion crow

and sieze my body for it lives no more

and drop me high into the depths below

for the things I've seen no one else should know

for the things I've seen no one else should know

for the things I've seen no one else should know

"I Am Mine"- Pearl Jam

The selfish, they're all standing in line

Faithing and hoping to buy themselves time

Me, I figure as each breath goes by

I only own my mind

The North is to South what the clock is to time

There's east and there's west and there's everywhere life

I know I was born and I know that I'll die

The in between is mine

I am mine

And the feeling, it gets left behind

All the innocence lost at one time

Significant, behind the eyes

There's no need to hide

We're safe tonight

The ocean is full 'cause everyone's crying

The full moon is looking for friends at hightide

The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrow's denied

I only know my mind

I am mine

And the meaning, it gets left behind

All the innocence lost at one time

Significant, behind the eyes

There's no need to hide

We're safe tonight

And the feelings that get left behind

All the innocence broken with lies

Significance, between the lines

(We may need to hide)

And the meanings that get left behind

All the innocence lost at one time

We're all different behind the eyes

There's no need to hide

Alternative lyrics to the ever so famous song by Plain White T's.

Hey there Vag*na...

You're a fragrant little kitty.

With your landing strip and camel toe.

To me you look so pretty...yes you do.

You know just what I wanna do....

it's punish you.

Hey there Vag*na...

You're a fancy little beaver.

Let my pen*s play the quarter back and you can be receiver.

Yes it's true.

I'll throw a touchdown inside you.

Ohhh it's what you do to me.

Ohhh it's what you do to me.

Ohhh it's what you do to me.

You little pen*s sleeve.

I love you little heart shaped box.

A pair of lips that never talks.

It's everything a man could ever want.

The only problem in the world is that your connected to a girl

And that makes you annoying in the end.

In the end.

Hey there Vag*na

You're a man's reason for living.

You can make the most frugal gentleman become so

very giving.

Yes it's true!You sausage wallet...I love you!

There's a thrill upon the hill

Let's go, let's go, let's go

There's a thrill upon the hill

Let's go, let's go, let's go

There's a house party way across town

People coming from miles around

Put on your pretty red dress

Let's go see about this mess

That's it, baby let's git

And go way up on the hill

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun

We gonna greet the risin' sun

All night long we gonna ball

Until we hear your mama call

That's it, baby let's git

And go way up on the hill

There's a thrill upon the hill

Let's go, let's go, let's go

There's a thrill upon the hill

Let's go, let's go, let's go

Let's go!

Everybody's gonna be there

My friends and yours from everywhere

Oh, what a time it's gonna be!

Come on baby, let's go see

That's it, baby let's git

And go way up on the hill

There's a thrill upon the hill

Let's go, let's go, let's go

There's a thrill upon the hill

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

[Puck Slapping Maple Sucker]

The Who - Heaven and Hell

On top of the sky is a place where you go if you've done nothing wrong,

If you've done nothing wrong.

And down in the ground is a place where you go if you've been a bad boy,

If you've been a bad boy.

Why can't we have eternal life,

And never die,

Never die?

In the place up above you grow feather wings and you fly round and round,

With a harp singing hymns.

And down in the ground you grow horns and a tail and you carry a fork,

And moan and wail.

Why can't we have eternal life, And never die,

Never die?

[Pieter]

Love is blindness

I dont want to see

Wont you wrap the night

Around me

Take my heart

Love is blindness

In a parked car

In a crowded street

You see your love

Made complete

Thread is ripping

The knot is slipping

Love is blindness

Love is clockworks

And cold steel

Fingers to numb to feel

Squeeze the handle

Blow out the candle

Love is blindness

Love is blindness

I dont want to see

Wont you wrap the night

Around me

Oh my love

Blindness

A little death

Without mourning

No call

And no warning

Baby...a dangerous idea

That almost makes sense

Love is drowning

In a deep well

All the secrets

And no one to tell

Take the money

Honey

Blindness

Love is blindness

I don't want to see

Wont you wrap the night

Around me

Oh my love, blindness.

[roblindblad]

Livin' on a razor's edge

Sharper than a knife

Surrender to the power of wedge

Keep running for your life

You don't need no periscope

You won't need second sight

It'll come at you so fast my friend

It's thank you and goodnight

CHORUS

Caught in the river

You can't stop the flood

That's the power of money, paper blood

Ambition flies on silver wings

Searching for a crown

King of kings, they pull the strings

Until they run you down

No matter what you've undergone

The measure of success

Is how much you can charge it on

American Express

CHORUS

[Paper Blood Lyrics on

http://www.lyricsmania.com/ ]

You don't need to drive a car

And you don't need a house

And you don't need a guiding star

When living like a mouse

In the presidenttial suite

They'd rather see you burn

Ducking and diving just to make ends meet

To the point of no return

by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

[eternal light]

Everybody's been a-talkin'; they say our love wasn't real

That it would soon be over; that's not the way that I feel

But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may

Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way

Yes, we'll find a way

Everybody's been a-talkin'; yes, the news travels fast

They said the fire would stop burnin', that the flame wouldn't last

But I don't worry, honey; let them say what they may

Come on & stick with me, baby; we'll find a way

Yes, we'll find a way

Come on & stick with me, baby

- Mel Tillis
