[Ternaugh]

Where beggars take cheques and children steal credit cards
From the pockets of wrecks that lie in the road
I came to in my future that was just yesterday
Unsure of my past, that's a knot in my gut

You buy me a drink then you think that you've got the right
To crawl in my head and rifle my soul
You tell me I'm free then you want me to compromise
To sell out my dreams you say you'll make it worthwhile

Oh, boys would you drink to me now
Here on the hill, halfway up, halfway down

[Hermit]

I ache for the touch of your lips dear, 

But much more for the touch of your whips dear,

You can raise welts like nobody else

As we dance to the Masochism Tango

[tkdguy]

I'm goin' back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou

Where you sleep all day, and the catfish play on Blue Bayou

All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see

That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.

[Ternaugh]

When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Ev'rything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.

[Old Man]

Blue on black

Tears on a river

Push on a shove

It don't mean much

Joker on jack

Match on a fire

Cold on ice

A dead man's touch

Whisper on a scream

Doesn't change a thing

Don't bring you back

Blue on black

[tkdguy]

Whoa whoa, yea yea

I love you more than I can say

I'll love you twice as much tomorrow, whoa whoa

I love you more than I can say.

 

Whoa whoa, yea yea

I'll miss you every single day

Why must my life be full of sorrow, whoa whoa

I love you more than I can say.

[csyphrett]

I ain’t rich, but I damn sure wanna be
Working like a dog all day, ain’t working for me
I wish I had a rich uncle that’d kick the bucket
And that I was sitting on a pile like Warren Buffett
I know everybody says
Money can’t buy happiness

But it could buy me a boat, it could buy me a truck to pull it
It could buy me a Yeti 110 iced down with some silver bullets
Yeah, and I know what they say,
Money can’t buy everything
Well, maybe so,
But it could buy me a boat

[Pariah]

The curtain begins to fall

The world fades before my eyes

The rain hears my call

And there's no cloud in the sky

 

Forgive the world of all its crimes

And you'll become the ideal prey

Forget that love shines in her eyes

And you'll walk alone for days

 

Is there any other way?

Maybe it's just too late

 

The days seem so long

And the nights won't ever end

One day you're the best friends in the world

The next day just perfect strangers

 

Is there any other way?

Maybe it's just too late

 

Don't know the reasons why

I'm walking between love and hate

It's a quiet suicide

Walking between love and hate

 

Is there any other way?

Maybe it's just too late

Or is this the only way?

 

I'm dying all alone

In front of millions every day

They say love makes you strong

Am I too weak to ever say?

And I don't want to wait for the sun to go down anymore

It's never been shining anyway

 

Is there any other way?

Maybe it's just too late

Or is this the only way?

 

Don't know the reasons why

I'm walking between love and hate

(Walking between love and hate)

It's a quiet suicide

Walking between love and hate

(Walking between love and hate)

 

I might be having a bad dream

Still walking between love and hate

(Walking between love and hate)

You must be having a good time

Keeping me between love and hate

 

It's a quiet suicide

[death tribble]

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

 

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down

[death tribble]

Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day
You got mud on yo' face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can all over the place
Singin'

[death tribble]

Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
He's sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me
It won't be long 'till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me
'Cause, I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining

Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

It won't be long 'till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me, 'cause,
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining

Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

[death tribble]

Every time I see you something happens to me
like a chain reaction between you and me

My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
every time
Oh oh oh, every time

If I didn't love you
I would look around for someone else
but every time I see you
you have the same effect

My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
every time
Oh oh oh, every time

Every time I hear your heart beat next to me
I'm in love with you
I mean what I say
I'm in love with you
and you don't know
what it means to be with you

Every time I see you
no matter what we do
there's a strange reaction
Can you feel it too?

My heart starts missing a beat
My heart starts missing a beat
every time
Oh oh oh, every time
Oh oh oh

Every time I hear your heart beat next to me
I'm in love with you
I mean what I say
I'm in love with you
and you don't know
what it means to be with you

Oh oh oh, every time
Oh oh oh, every time

[death tribble]

Harmful elements in the air
Symbols clashing everywhere
Reaps the fields of rice and reeds
While the population feeds

 

Junk floats on polluted water
An old custom to sell your daughter
Would you like number twenty three?
Leave your yens on the counter please

[death tribble]

Cover me with kisses, baby
Cover me with love
Roll me in designer sheets
I'll never get enough
Emotions come, I don't know why
Cover up love's alibi

[death tribble]

Start spreading the news, I'm leaving today.
I want to be a part of it, New York, New York.
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it, New York, New York.

[death tribble]

You could never know what it's like
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

And did you think this fool could never win
Well look at me, I'm coming back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away

[death tribble]

You're everywhere and nowhere baby, that's where you're at
Going down a bumpy hillside, in your hippy hat
Flying across the country, and getting fat
Saying everything is groovy, when your tires are flat

[death tribble]

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him

[Ternaugh]

there’s a snake coming out of the darkness
parade from paradise
end the need for eden
chase the dreams of merchandise

 

there is tic and toc in atomic
leaders make a deal
the cosmic is largely comic
a con they couldn’t conceal

There is no safe seat at the feast
Take your best stab at the beast
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

 

raise the art to resistance
danger dare to be grand
pride reduced to humble pie
diamonds down to sand

 

take heart from earth and weather
the brightness of new birth
take heart from the harvest
shave the harvest from the earth

Reasoning is partly insane
Image just an eyeless game
The night is turning thin
The saint is turning to sin

 

miracles will have their claimers
more will bow to Rome
he and she are in the house
but there’s only me at home

 

rose is a rose of splendor
posed to respond in the end
lonely things like nights,
I find, end finer with a friend

I hear in the rate of her heart
A tear in the heat of the art

 

The night turns thin
The saint turns to sin

[Old Man]

So tear me open and pour me out

There's things inside that scream and shout

And the pain still hates me

So hold me until it sleeps

[Old Man]

I can't stand it, I know you planned it

I'm-a set it straight, this Watergate

I can't stand rockin' when I'm in here

Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear

So while you sit back and wonder why

I got this f__kin' thorn in my side

Oh my god, it's a mirage

I'm tellin' y'all, it's sabotage

[Cygnia]

He opens the book-looks at the scenes from yesterday
How they laughed and loved and lived before the grew old and gray Now
he sits alone in his room, and the clock ticks away
Together they enjoyed all life's beauty and all it's fears
The lonelycry of his soul falls only on his ears
Each page's photo marked with the stain of his tears
He didn't know what to do
He didn't know what might come
Nothing was all that was left to him
Nothing was left when she was gone
The heart has a memory so strong
It remembers every right and every wrong
On those pages of his long, lonely life
He can only see his wife
He said "Pluck out my eyes"
He said "Plug up my ears"
He said "Silence my tongue"
He said "Take away my empty years"
One last wish
To see her face
One last breath
He's calling to death
One last look up at the sun
As he picks up the gun
As he steadies the gun
As he finally aims the gun

[tkdguy]

La donna e mobile

Qual piuma al vento

Muta d'accento

 

E di pensiero.

 

Sempre un a mabile

Leggiadro viso, 

In pianto o in riso, 

Mensognero.

 

La donna e mobile

Qual piuma al vento, 

Muta d'accento

E di pensier, 

E di pensier, 

 

E di pensier! 

 

E' sempre misero

Chi a lei s'affida, 

Chi a le confida, 

Mal cauto il core! 

 

Pur mai non sentesi

Felice appieno

Chi su quel seno, 

Non liba amore! 

 

La donna e mobile

Qual piuma al vento, 

Muta d'accento

E di pensier, 

E di pensier, 

E di pensier!

[Pariah]

I looked out this morning, and the sun was gone

Turned on some music to start my day

Then lost myself in a familiar song

I closed my eyes, and I slipped away

[Bazza]

For death tribble, who is a fan of X-Files (like me)

 

On top of old Smokey, all covered in snow,

I lost my true lover, by courtin' too slow
On top of old Smokey, I went there to weep
For a false hearted lover, is worse than a thief
