R.E.M.
R.E.M. have been and always
will be one of my favourite bands
Michael Stipe has a brilliant,
beautiful voice
No other band can beat R.E.M.
for originality and passion...
Losing My Religion Drive
"Life is bigger
"Maybe I ride
It's bigger than you
Maybe you walk
And you are not me
Maybe I drive
The lengths that I will
go to
To get off
The distance in your eyes
Baby..."
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Nightswimming
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
"You, I thought I knew you
Losing my religion
You I cannot judge
Trying to keep up with
you
You, I thought you knew me
And I don't know if I can
do it
This one laughing quietly
Oh no I've said too much
Underneath my breath
I haven't said enough
Nightswimming..."
I thought that I heard
you laughing
I thought that I heard
you sing
I think I thought I saw
you try
The One I Love
Every whisper
"This one goes out to the one I love
Of every waking hour I'm
This one goes out to the one
Choosing my confessions
I've left behind
Trying to keep an eye on
you
Another prop has occupied my time
Like a hurt lost and blinded
fool
This one goes out to the one I love..."
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
I Don't Sleep, I Dream
Consider this
The hint of the century
"Said leave me to lay
Consider this
But touch me deep
The slip that brought me
I don't sleep, I dream
To my knees failed
I'll settle for a cup of coffee
What if all these fantasies
But you know what I really need..."
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard
you laughing
Fall On Me
I thought that I heard
you sing
I think I thought I saw
you try
"Buy the sky and sell the sky
And lift your arms up to the
sky
But that was just a dream
And ask the sky and ask the sky
That was just a dream..."
Don't fall on me..."
Another band that I will always
love
I find a lot of deep meaning
in Pearl Jam's music and I feel so damn good when I listen to it
One song in particular "Garden";
a good friend of mine used to play this song on the guitar and he did it
so well....he lives in Melbourne now and I miss him terribly...but I always
feel better when I hear this song
Rearview mirror
(This is the best PJ song
by far!!)
Garden
"I took a drive today
"I will walk...
Time to emancipate
With my hands bound
I guess it was the beatings
made me wise
I will walk...
But I'm not about to give
thanks, or apologize
With my face blood
I couldn't breathe, holdin'
me down
I will walk...
Hand on my face, pushed
to the ground
With my shadow flag
Enmity gauged, united by
fear
Into your garden
S'pose to endure what I
could not forgive...
Garden of stone..."
I seem to look away
Black
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most
defiled
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
Head at your feet, fool
to your crown
I know you will be a star
Fist on my plate, swallowed
it down
In somebody else's sky
Enmity gauged, united by
fear
But why
Tried to endure what I
could not forgive
Why.....why....
Can't it be
Saw things Saw things Saw
things Saw things
Can't it be mine?..."
Clearer ...
Once you, were in my...Rearview
mirror...
Jeremy
I gather speed from you
fucking with me
"King Jeremy the wicked
Once and for all I'm far
away
Ruled his world..."
Hardly believe, finally
the shades...are raised...
Given to Fly
Saw things so much clearer
Once you, once you...
"And he still gives his love
Saw things so much clearer
He just gives it away
Once you, once you...
The love he receives
Saw things so much clearer
Is the love that is saved
Once you, once you...were
in my...
And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
Rearview mirror
A human being that was given to fly
He's flying
Saw things so much clearer
Oh, High, Wide
Once you...oh yeah..."
He's flying..."
Metallica ROCK!!! And that's
all I have to say about that...
Here's lyrics from two of
my favourite Metallica songs...
Nothing Else Matters To Live is To Die
"So close no matter how
far
"When a man lies
Couldn't be much more from
the heart
He murders some part of the world
Forever trusting who we
are
These are the pale deaths
And nothing else matters
Which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear
Never opened myself this
way
To witness any longer
Life is ours, we live it
our way
Cannot the kingdom of salvation
All these words I don't
just say
Take me Home..."
And nothing else matters..."
Fell in love with Faith No
More when I was 15 and have never stopped loving em
Mike Patton is a God...mmm
yeah...
Zombie Eaters
Take This Bottle
(Definitely the best FNM
song)
"I can wait to love in heaven
"You're everything...
I can wait for you
That's why I cling to you
Far Away, I'll treat you better
When I emerge
Better than down here
My thoughts converge to
you...to you
Cos I've done wrong
The world is so small compared
to you
And I'm a little afraid
And everybody's wrong compared
to you...to you
I aint too strong
I begin to see through
your eyes
And this aint easy to say
All the former mysteries
are no surprise
Take this bottle
So now you listen
Take this bottle
Cos I'm omniscient..."
And just walk away, the both of you
And let me feel the pain, I've done to you
Falling to Pieces
The Gentle Art of Making Enemies
"Because I'm somewhere
in between
My love and my agony
"The words are so familiar
You see I'm somewhere in
between
All the same greats, the same mistakes
My life is falling to pieces
It doesn't have to be like this
Somebody put me together..."
If you don't make a friend now
One might make you
The Last To Know
So learn the gentle art of making enemies..."
"Can't you see
The Real Thing
There's only one me
And that me is me
"I know the feeling
I don't know where
It is the real thing
But I cannot share..."
The essence of the truth..."
Other Lyrics from a few favourite
songs of mine...
Bob
Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man
"Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
I'm not sleepy and there
is no place I'm going to
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man,
play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning
I'll come followin' you..."
Soundgarden
- Fell On Black Days
"Whomsoever I've cured
I've sickened now
Whomsoever I've cradled
I've put you down
I'm a search light soul
they say
But I can't see it in the
night
I'm only faking when I
get it right
Cause I fell on black days..."
Radiohead
- Creep
"I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing
here?
I don't belong here..."
Pantera
- This Love
"I'd been the tempting
one, stole her from herself
This gift in pain, her
pain was life
And sometimes, I regret
this, the hurting of you
But you make me so unhappy
I take my life and leave
love with you
I'd kill myself for you,
I'd kill you for myself..."
Ministry
- Jesus Built My Hotrod
"Soon I discovered that
this rock this was true
Jerry Lee Lewis was the
devil
Jesus was an architect
previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden
I found myself in love
with the world
So there was only one thing
I could do
Was ding a ding dang
My dang a long ling long..."
I might add some more lyrics
to this page one day...when I could be bothered...
