Post any thought provoking lyrics that come to mind:

Here's Elton John's 'And The House Fell Down':
(reminds me of reservations and relapse)

The sun is up and the shades are all pulled down
I'm more paranoid with every little sound
Like the leaf blower blowing the leaves around
And a siren wailing on the other side of town

Oh the TV's on and the colors really hurt my head
If I could think straight I'd wish I was dead
Or curled up naked in my lover's bed
Instead I'm hanging over Hell suspended by a single thread

chorus:
And I don't recall who said it at this time
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

With a rolled up note I'm hovering on that line
Three days on a diet of cocaine and wine
And a little weed just to level me sometime
I put the clock in the drawer 'cause I've cancelled out the time

[repeat chorus]

So don't knock on my door, don't try to call
I'm holed up in this room talking to the wall
When you're high as this you think you know it all
When you're this deep in there's no place else to fall

[repeat chorus]

And still that saying gets inside my mind
That your enemies grow strong on what you leave behind
I built it up and the wolf he came around
He huffed and puffed and the house fell down

Tub Thumping Lyrics


We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

'Oh Danny Boy
Danny Boy
Danny Boy...'

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away

He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that remind him
Of the better times:

'Don't cry for me
Next door neighbour...'

I get knocked down
But I get up again
You're never going to keep me down

We'll be singing
When we're winning
We'll be singing

Dead Kennedys/holiday in cambodia

So you been to school
For a year or two
And you know youve seen it all
In daddys car
Thinkin youll go far
Back east your type dont crawl

Play ethnicky jazz
To parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know
How the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

Its time to taste what you most fear
Right guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear

Its a holiday in cambodia
Its tough, kid, but its life
Its a holiday in cambodia
Dont forget to pack a wife

Youre a star-belly sneech
You suck like a leach
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch
So you can get rich
But your boss gets richer off you

Well youll work harder
With a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers
Till you starve
Then your head is skewered on a stake

Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need, my son.

Is a holiday in cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in cambodia
Where youll kiss ass or crack

Pol pot, pol pot, pol pot, pol pot....

And its a holiday in cambodia
Where youll do what youre told
A holiday in cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul

Spiritual Seeker

When you were here before,
couldn't look you in the eye.
You're just like an angel,
your skin makes me cry.
You float like a feather,
in a beautiful world
I wish I was special,
you're so ******* special.

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the h*** am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it hurts,
I want to have control.
I want a perfect body,
I want a perfect soul.
I want you to notice,
when I'm not around.
You're so ******* special,
I wish I was special.
She's running out the door,
she's running,
she run, run, run, run, run.
Whatever makes you happy,
whatever you want.
You're so f***ing special,
I wish I was special,
I don't belong here.

IT'S ANOTHER DAY
by Thunder


Ya know when you got the feeling,
Like you’re running and standing still.
Everybody’s overtaking
And you can’t get up that hill.

Sun comes round too early
And the moon goes down too fast.
While you’re tryin’ to make ends meet
The grind is slipping fast.

I know you can’t control the things that get you down.
But it aint all bad news, take a look around.

Another day of freedom,
Another day of life.
Another little battle you’ll survive!
‘Cus any way you cut it, there’s still a lot to love in this world.

‘Cus we all go through it,
When it all comes down it’s another day.
And there aint nothing to it,
You’re gonna find your way.


Playing out in the sunshine,
Running home through the rain.
Failing in love the first time,
Feeling conscience, feeling pain.



Winning….........................
Losing it on a…................
Drinking yourself to oblivion,
When you know it’s gonna hurt.

The things you feel they let you know that you’re alive.
So don’t lock yourself away, celebrate your life.

Another revolution,
Another point of view.
You’re doin’ things you thought you’d never do!
Whatever way you slice it, there’s still a lot to love in this world.

‘Cus we all go through it,
When it all comes down it’s another day.
And there aint nothing to it,
You’re gonna find your way.




Oh, by the way the dots ............................. mean I can't figure out what he's singing!!!

Dead Skin by Crossfade

So I'm the king
Of all these things
Of this mess I have made
Such a waste
What a shame
My whole life is a fake

Well I'm a bore
And I'm sure
I'm a thorn inside of you
That has torn at you for years

The alcohol
The demerol
These things never could replace
What a minute with you could do to put a smile on my face

I'm a bore and I'm sure
I'm a thorn inside of you
That has torn at me for years

I can't get out of this dead skin
I can't shed my skin
I'm not sure where to begin
Why can't I begin again
I can't get under my dead skin
I can't shed my skin
Can I sleep til then

Phenobarbital and alcohol
These two surely will do
To knock me out
Keep me down atleast a day or two


When I'm awake
I can taste how bitter I've become
And it's more than I can bare somedays
I pray someone will blow me away

Make it quick
But let it burn
So I can feel my life fade

Well I'm a waste and I can taste
How bitter I've become
And It's more than I can bare
I can't shed my skin
I can't shed my skin

Fresh off Americal Idol:

This Is My Now

There was a time I packed my dreams away.
Living in a shell, hiding from myself.

There was a time when I was so afraid.
I thought I'd reached the end,
But baby that was then
I am made of more than my yesterdays.

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.

I had to decide,
Was I gonna to play it safe.
Or look somewhere deep in side,
Try to turn the tide,
And find the strength to take that step of faith.


This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around
I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts
That was then, this is my now.

And I have the courage like never before, yeah.
I've settled for less now I'm ready for more,
Ready for more.

This is my now, and I am breathing in the moment.
As I look around I can't believe the love I see.
My fears behind me, gone are the shadows and doubts.
That was then, this is my now.

Here's an obvious one:

Aerosmith's Amazing (a favorite of mine):

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of a livin' a lie
I was wishin' that I
Would die

It's Amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's Amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's Amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight

That one last shot's a Permanent Vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings

You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't liten to all that righteous talk
I was out on the street,
Just a tryin' to survive

Here's another for ya:

Aerosmith - Blind Man Lyrics

I took a course in Hallelujah
I went to night school for de blues
I took some stuff they said would cool ya...hea ha
But nothing seemed to light my fuse

But that's all in the past
Like a check that's in the mail
She was a tall whiskey glass
I was an old hound dog
That just loved to chase his tail

Until I met a Blind Man
Who taught me how to see...yeah
A Blind Man
Who could change night into day
And if a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me...yeah
Because a here come the sun
And we'll be chasing all the clouds away...yeah yeah...

I've had some lovers like a joyride
Some things are never what they seem
My heaven's turned into a landslide
Thank God I woke up from that dream

I met a Blind Man
Who taught me how to see...yeah
Blind Man
Who could change night into day
And if a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me...yeah
Beacuse a here comes the sun
And we'll be chasing all the clouds the way
The bee's chase honey
And drink all the flowers dry
We'll be saving us a little money
And if that doesn't do it, yeah
I know the reason why

Don't make no sense lightin' candles
There's too much moonlight in my eyes

I met a Blind Man
Who taught me how to see...yeah
Blind Man
Who could change night into day
And if a I can
I'm gonna make you come with me...ah ah ah ah yeah
Because a here come the sun
Ain't no surprise
Ain't no doubt about it
Gonna open up my eyes

squirty

I love Aerosmith too!!!

here is one that i love: Fix You by Coldplay

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse?

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worst?

Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I will try to fix you

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
