So do I, Phantom.  I tend to sing to my wife a lot and I make lyrics up on the spot.  Of course, some are better than others.  heh heh.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I make up new lyrics to whatever is on the radio. That is how I came up with "The Reason Is Lube". Most of the lyrics I couldn't post here however for one reason or another.

Rammstein - Amour

 

Die Liebe ist ein wildes Tier

Sie atmet dich sie sucht nach dir

Nistet auf gebrochenen Herzen

Geht auf Jagd bei Kuss und Kerzen

Saugt sich fest an deinen Lippen

Hey Man (Now You're Really Living) - Eels

 

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor,

And cry your guts out 'til you got no more?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl,

Made you feel like it's not such a bad world?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

Now you're really giving everything,

And you're really getting all you gave!

Now you're really living what

This life is all about!

 

Well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill.

Never used to give me much of a thrill,

But hey man, now I'm really living!

 

Do you know what it's like to care too much

'bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

Have you ever sat down in the fresh cut grass,

And thought about the moment and when it will pass?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

Now you're really giving everything,

And you're really getting all you gave!

Now you're really living what

This life is all about!

 

Now, what would you say if i told you that

Everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor,

And cry your guts out 'til you got no more?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

Have you ever made love to a beautiful girl

Made you feel like it's not such a bad world?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

People, sing!

Do you know what it's like to fall on the floor,

And cry your guts out 'til you got no more?

Hey man, now you're really living!

 

Just saw the sun rise over the hill!

Never used to give me much of a thrill,

But hey man now I'm really living!

Come Dancing -- Kinks

 

 

They put a parking lot on a piece of land

When the supermarket used to stand.

Before that they put up a bowling alley

On the site that used to be the local palais.

That's where the big bands used to come and play.

My sister went there on a Saturday.

 

Come dancing,

All her boyfriends used to come and call.

Why not come dancing, it's only natural?

 

Another Saturday, another date.

She would be ready but she's always make them wait.

In the hallway, in anticipation,

He didn't know the night would end up in frustration.

He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week

All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek.

 

Come dancing,

That's how they did it when I was just a kid,

And when they said come dancing,

My sister always did.

 

My sister should have come in a midnight,

And my mom would always sit up and wait.

It always ended up in a big row

When my sister used to get home late.

 

Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight,

Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate.

 

The day they knocked down the palais

My sister stood and cried.

The day they knocked down the palais

Part of my childhood died, just died.

 

Now I'm grown up and playing in a band,

And there's a car park where the palais used to stand.

My sister's married and she lives on an estate.

Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait.

She knows they get away with things she never could,

But if I asked her I wonder if she would,

 

Come dancing,

Come on sister, have yourself a ball.

Don't be afraid to come dancing,

It's only natural.

 

Come dancing,

Just like the palais on a Saturday.

And all her friends will come dancing

Where the big bands used to play.

[alanschu]

Hello,

I've waited here for you

Everlong

 

Tonight

I throw myself in two

Outta the red, out of her head she sang

 

 

Come down

And waste away with me

Down with me

 

Slow how

You wanted it be

I'm over my head, out of her head she sang

 

 

And I wonder

When I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

 

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You gotta promise not to stop when I say when

She said

 

 

Breathe out

So I can breathe you in

Hold you in

 

And now

I know you've always been

Out of your head, out of my head I sang

 

And I wonder

When I sing along with you

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

 

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You gotta promise not to stop when I say when

She said

 

 

<something whisperiffic!>

 

And I wonder

If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

 

The only thing I'll ever ask of you

You gotta promise not to stop when I say when!

[EnderAndrew]

Great song and great video!

 

I think Everlong is really underrated. I felt like it was one of the truly great rock songs of the 90's.

[Shryke]

first time i heard Everlong was on a multiplayer Doom 2 map :D

 

awesome song, and it was an awesome map too

[Cantousent]

It was a touching tale of true love, but it had to go. Alas, we may now weep anew for the loss of love.

[Petay]

The song: Jack Johnson--Banana Pancakes

The lyrics:

 

Cant you see that its just raining

Aint no need to go outside...

But Baby, You hardly even notice

When I try to show you this

Song is meant to keep ya

From doing what your supposed to

Waking up too early

Maybe we can sleep in

Ill make you banana pancakes

Pretend like its the weekend now

 

And we can pretend it all the time

Cant you see that its just raining

Aint no need to go outside

 

Just maybe, like and ukelele

Mommy made a baby

Really dont mind the breakfast

Cause your my little lady

Lady lady love me

Cause I love to lay here lazy

We could close the curtains

Pretend like there's no work outside

 

And we can pretend it all the time

Cant you see that its just raining

Aint no need to go outside

Aint no need aint no need Mmmm MMmmm

Cant you see cant you see

Rain all day

And I dont mind.

 

The telephone is singing

Ringing its too early

Don't pick it up

We don't need to we got everything

We need right here

And everything we need is enough

Just so easy

When the whole world fits inside of your arms

Don't really need to pay attention to the alarm

Wake up slow, yeah wake up slow

You hardly even notice

When I try to show you this

Song is meant to keep ya

From doing what your supposed to

Waking up too early

Maybe we can sleep in

Ill make you banana pancakes

Pretend like its the weekend now

 

And we can pretend it all the time

Cant you see that its just raining

Aint no need to go outside

Cant you see cant you see,

You gotta wake up slow

[alanschu]

It was a touching tale of true love, but it had to go.  Alas, we may now weep anew for the loss of love.

I was wondering why Shryke was laughing at his own post.

APC "Passive"

 

 

[alanschu]

Waiting

Watching the clock

It's four o'clock

It's got to stop

 

Tell him

Take no more

She practices her speech

As he opens the door

She rolls over

Pretends to sleep

As he looks her over

 

 

She lies and says she's in love with him

Can't find a betterman

She dreams in colour, she dreams in red

Can't find a betterman

 

Can't find a betterman

Can't find a betterman

 

Oh oh oh...

 

Talking

To herself

There's no one else

Who needs to know

She tells herself

 

Memories back when she

Was bold and strong and

Waiting for the world to

Come along

Swears she knew it

Now she swears he's gone

 

She lies and says she's in love with him

Can't find a betterman

She dreams in colour she dreams in red

Can't find a betterman

 

She lies and says she still loves him

Can't find a betterman

She dreams in colour she dreams in red

Can't find a betterman

 

Can't find a betterman

Can't find a betterman

 

 

She loves him

She don't want to be his friend

She feeds him

That's why she'll be back again

 

Can't find a betterman

Can't find a betterman

 

Can't find a betterman

Can't find a better, man

[Laozi]

Lemonade

 

 

There's such a thing as self opinion

And this far down South I have no self-control

If anbody else feels like a nobody

Well then your gonna have to look out for you

I'll colour green verything believed in

But I keep screaming for my glass of lemonade

 

I walk around and it feels good to be movin'

The breeze that's blowin' through cannot be found

Jump on the trolley that's headed for all the hollering

And then you're gonna have to look out for you

 

In desperate need of a little more religion

To nurse your God like point of view

 

Fool on the sheetroof you gotta lay down in your ruins

The river flowin' by, is way too big to bound

If I should speak up, and say hello Mr. Uppercut

Oh, how nice to have avoided you

 

I'll bloody bleed on everything I'm seeing

But I keep screaming for that glass of lemonade

 

Too much, too much, too much Lemonade

Too much, too much, too much Lemonade

Too much, too much, too much Lemonade

Too much, too much, too much Lemonade

Too much, too much, too much Lemonade

 

 

Good song

[Laozi]

And then theres

 

Dumptruck

 

 

New York City soothing my itchy itchy month of May

Time has passed for Ms. Onassis, decay on display

 

I don't want to go down

I don't want to go down

I don't want to go down like she did

 

And I can't understand why something

good's got to die before we miss it

 

Mumbled talk through pigeon park

And Hastings is wasting away

religiously they seem to sin

Buy, sell or trade for amens

 

I just don't want to feel

I just don't want to feel

I just don't want to feel- like they feel

 

Hollow body for sound, trade a coat for a gown

 

Way up in my arms you know

I love you just a little bit more

 

Raisin' nose down to chin

Smoke after smoke they all trickle in

Anything, for anything, and ending up with nothing

 

Simple pimpled young man

Sores all over his hands

He's sleeping, not so silently

 

I'll mop the floors for you all

I'm a fly on the wall

Really big and listening

 

Burned a hand of a friend of mine

And Bub I know that you could fly a mile high

You told me nothing's ever gonna come between

Nothing's ever gonna come between

Nothing's ever gonna come between

 

My dumptruck and me

[Darth Drabek]

Waiting

Watching the clock

It's four o'clock

It's got to stop...

My personal favorite PJ song.

[LoneWolf16]

How does it feel to treat me like you do

When you've laid your hands upon me

And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken

I thought I heard your words

Tell me

How do I feel tell me now

How do I feel

 

How does it feel?

How should I feel?

Tell me how does it feel?

To treat me like you do

 

Those who came before me

Lived through their vocations

From the past until completion

They'll turn away no more

And I still find it so hard

To say what I need to say

But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me

Just how I should feel today

 

I see ship in the harbor

I can and shall obey

But if it wasn't for your misfortunes

I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken

And I thought I heard you speak

Tell me now

How should I feel

Now I stand here waiting...

 

I thought I told you to leave me

While I walked down to the beach

Tell me how does it feel

when your heart grows cold

 

How does it feel?

How should I feel?

Tell me how does it feel?

To treat me like you do

[Blarghagh]

I've never heard the original version of that song. Just the Orgy cover. *ashamed*

[Cantousent]

Dammit, would you people put the artist and tile on your songs! Grrr. :Eldar's exasperated look icon:

 

Oh, and here's a song for you:

 

Touch of Grey -- Grateful Dead

 

Must be getting early, clocks are running late.

Paint my love a morning sky, it

Demons & Wizards - White Room

[Cream cover]

 

In the white room, with black curtains, near the station

Blackroof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings

Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes

Dawnlight smiles on your leaving my contentment

 

[Chorus:]

I wait in this place - where the sun never shines

I wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

 

You said no strings could secure you at the station

Platform ticket, restless diesel, goodbye windows

I walked into such a sad time at the station

As I walked out felt my own need just beginning

 

[Chorus:]

I wait in the cue - where the trains come back

Lie with you - where the shadows run from themselves.

 

[intro]

 

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Consolation for the only now forgotten

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in your dark eyes

She just dressing goodbye windows, tired starlings.

 

[Chorus:]

I sleep in this place with a lonely crowd

Lie in the dark - where the shadows run from themselves

[LoneWolf16]

Breaking Benjamin - "Simple Design"

 

 

I live a chemical life

I'm on a mission to try

You went insane for a day

I'll have to shove it away

My only option is gone

Smile as they break and they fall

You want a simpler life

You can't erase what was mine

 

[Pre-Chorus:]

You must be out of your mind!

This was a simple design!

You **** it up everytime

How could you leave me behind

 

[Chorus:]

It's alright, it's alright

'cause I know what you want

but you'll just have to wait

If I had it to give

I would give it away

I'm living it up

while I'm falling from grace

There's no way, there's no way that I'm running away

 

I'm used to making it worse

Made up of four letter words

You wanna know what it was

Now isolated and gone

You fall apart at the seams

I'll never know what it means

Try not to pull it apart

Your aiming straight from the heart

 

[Pre-chorus]

 

[Chorus]

 

It had to be the worst for me

I don't know what to say so let me be

And now I find you left me behind

I don't know what to say so nevermind!

 

You're mine!

 

[Chorus]

[Cantousent]
