NoMeansNo-The River

 

When I speak the words I repeat

Are lost within this roaring

And when I call your eyes turn to me

But what are they exploring ?

Hidden shapes that pass fast away

Upon the waters streaming

And what I see I just cannot say

There is no one to heed me

 

I could say that I am sorry

But what forgiveness lies before me ?

In the river

 

Those who know me know all too well

All my sins and failings

But brother dear, how could I tell ?

The course that I was sailing

 

In the flood, before my eyes

I see the face that I despise

In the river

 

It's mine, it's mine

Drifting far away

 

I can see you're not very strong

As the current sweeps you past me

Ans I can see your head going down

As helpless your cries find me

"Help me ! Save me ! Lend me a hand !

Pull me out ! Pull me out !

Save me ! Save me ! Give me your hand !

Pull me out ! Pull me out !"

 

I would save you, give my life

But it's already sacrificed

To the river

 

It's gone, it's gone

Drifitng far away

 

Mothers tell your children the truth

Don't hide the fate that's waiting

When you're born you start to drown

There's no help, no safety

 

First a gift of love is given

Then the winds rise, the sails are riven

On the river.

Ring of Fire by Johnney Cash

 

Love is a burning thing

and it makes a firery ring

bound by wild desire

I fell in to a ring of fire...

 

I fell in to a burning ring of fire

I went down,down,down

and the flames went higher.

And it burns,burns,burns

the ring of fire

the ring of fire.

 

The taste of love is sweet

when hearts like our's meet

I fell for you like a child

oh, but the fire went wild..

 

I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....[etc]

Big Blue Note --- Toby Kieth

 

See that big blue note,

Over there on the counter?

You don't wanna read that thing, man,

It's a real get-you-downer.

But don't you dare say nothin' else,

Bad about her: she's gone.

 

No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away,

'Cause tonight, I might need it.

It gets real lonely around here at night some times,

An' I have to read read it.

Besides, you can show it to the boys down town,

They won't believe that she's gone.

 

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted.

All the man that she'll ever need.

I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished.

An' the only thing she left behind for me:

 

Is this big blue note,

Folded up in my pocket.

Yeah, don't laugh: it's been two months;

I still got it.

Sometimes I have to read the sucker twice,

Just to make sure I ain't forgot that she's gone.

 

You know, my psychiatrist said:

"Tell me, what do you see,

"When you look at these ink spots,

"Of, er, reds, yellows an' greens?"

You know, I looked at 'em all,

But they all looked to me like big blue notes.

 

There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted.

All the man that she'll ever need.

I come home to find, just like that, she's up an' vanished.

An' the only thing that's left to do for me:

 

Is stand high on this cliff,

Overlooking the sea.

With my big blue notepaper aeroplane,

That I just set free.

An' I'm gonna wait here a few more minutes,

An' if it don't come back to me:

You guessed it: she's gone.

 

Crash landing.

Bye bye, baby.

Pixies - Is She Weird.

 

I know you're rich in

Good clothes and little things

Your mind is fancy

(and your car is bitchin')

 

Is she weird

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

And her head has no room

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

And her head has no room

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

And her head has no room

 

And her head has no room

 

Your heart is rip****

Your mouth is everywhere

I'm lyin' in it

 

Is she weird

Is she over me

Like the stars and the sun

Like the stars and the sun

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room!

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room!

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room!

 

And her head has no room!

 

No more of this girl cryin'

I'm here, your big man

You're mine

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

 

Is she weird, is she white

Is she promised to the night

And her head has no room

 

Head has no room

Village Ghetto Land by Stevie Wonder (from Songs In The Key Of Life)

 

Would you like to go with me

Down my dead end street

Would you like to come with me

To village ghetto land

 

See the people lock their doors

While robbers laugh and steal

Beggars watch and eat their meals-from garbage cans

 

Broken glass is everywhere

It

"My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist
I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.
I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.

Since we're talking Cracker, here's an old gem

 

Camper Van Beethoven - Wasted

 

I was so wasted

I was a surfer

I had a skateboard

I was so heavy and I lived on the strand

I was a dumb ****

And I was a ****-up

I was so napped out I was out of my head

I was so wasted

I was a hippie

And I was a burn-out

I was so wasted I was out of my head

I was a punker

I had a mohawk

I was so gnarly and I drove my dad's car

Haha, that song is classic. Camper's cover of Pictures of Matchstick Men is one of my favorite covers ever.

 

A while ago I considered starting a thread about favorite cover tunes, because I'm fascinated by different versions of the same song. Also, people could get informed if one of their favorite bands got covered by somebody else's favorite band in another genre - that sort of thing. But we have a pretty lively music discussion here anyway and I wouldn't want to dilute the current music & lyrics threads.

baby, take off your beret

everyone's a critic and most people are DJs

I have two favortie covers. One is 'I will survive' by Cake, it totally owns the original. And the other is 'He'd be a diamond' by Bevis Frond as covered by Teenage Fanclub.

Bush - Glycerine

 

It must be your skin that I'm sinking in

It must be for real 'cause now I can feel

And I didn't mind

It's not my kind it's not my time to wonder why

Everything gone white

Everything's gray

Now you're here Now you're away

I don't want this

Remember that

I'll never forget where you're at

Don't let the days go by

Glycerine Glycerine

I'm never alone

I'm alone all the time

Are you at one or do you lie

We live in a wheel where everyone steals

But when we rise it's like strawberry fields

I treated you bad you bruise my face

I couldn't love you more you've got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by

Could've been easier on you

I couldn't change though I wanted to

It should have been easier by three

Our old friend fear and you and me

Glycerine Glycerine

Don't let the days go by

Glycerine

Don't let the days go by....

Glycerine Glycerine

Glycerine Glycerine

Bad moon white again

Bad moon white again

As she falls around me

I needed you more when you wanted us less

I could not kiss just regress

It might just be clear simple and plain

Well that's just fine that's just one of my names

Don't let the days go by

It could've been easier on you you you

Glycerine Glycerine Glycerine Glycerine

I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows

 

'Cause I won't know the man that kills me

and I don't know these men I kill

but we all wind up on the same side

'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will.

Don't Worry, Be Happy

Performed by Bobby McFerrin

 

Here is a little song I wrote

You might want to sing it note for note

Don't worry be happy

In every life we have some trouble

When you worry you make it double

Don't worry, be happy......

 

Ain't got no place to lay your head

Somebody came and took your bed

Don't worry, be happy

The land lord say your rent is late

He may have to litigate

Don't worry, be happy

Lood at me I am happy

Don't worry, be happy

Here I give you my phone number

When you worry call me

I make you happy

Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style

Ain't got not girl to make you smile

But don't worry be happy

Cause when you worry

Your face will frown

And that will bring everybody down

So don't worry, be happy (now).....

 

There is this little song I wrote

I hope you learn it note for note

Like good little children

Don't worry, be happy

Listen to what I say

In your life expect some trouble

But when you worry

You make it double

Don't worry, be happy......

Don't worry don't do it, be happy

Put a smile on your face

Don't bring everybody down like this

Don't worry, it will soon past

Whatever it is

Don't worry, be happy

Just love this song :thumbsup: ....Ozzy Osbourne-Road to Nowhere

 

I was looking back on my life

And all the things I've done to me

I'm still looking for the answers

I'm still searching for the key

 

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me

It just won't leave me alone

I still find it all a mystery

Could it be a dream?

 

The road to nowhere leads to me

 

Through all the happiness and sorrow

I guess I'd do it all again

Live for today and not tomorrow

It's still the road that never ends

 

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me

It just won't leave me alone

I still find it all a mystery

Could it be a dream?

 

The road to nowhere leads to me

 

Ah, ah

The road to nowhere's gonna pass me by

Ah, ah

I hope we never have to say goodbye

I never want to live without you

 

The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me

It just won't leave me alone

I still find it all a mystery

Could it be a dream?

 

The road to nowhere leads to me

these lyrics some up how I feel about poeple today

 

Teenage Fanclub ' Everybody's fool'

 

 

 

 

You impress me with your style

I think you're really cool

Everbody looks at you

'Cause you're everybody's fool

 

I don't ****in' care (I don't ****in' care)

What clothes you wear (What clothes you wear)

You're still ****ing square

 

You say you've taken lots of drugs

You really must be hip

But you'll never get to know yourself

When you're underneath your drip

 

I don't ****in' care (I don't ****in' care)

How you wear your hair (How you wear your hair)

You're still ****ing square

 

And I'm laughing at you all the time

And I'm laughing at you all the time

And I'm laughing at you all the time

And I'm laughing at you all the time

Lacuna Coil "Angel's Punishment"

 

Destruction

 

War

 

To fight in defence

Forgotten words

of friendly hate

 

war - destruction

war - destruction

 

I don't know why

A soul deceased

A broken hope

A choking breeze

 

war - destruction

war - destruction

 

Can't you take me away from your lies?

 

Destruction

 

Dark paradise

Collecting souls

To analize

 

war - destruction

war - destruction

 

The bitter blood

of a children's cry

inside the truth

far from my sky

 

war - destruction

war - destruction

 

Can't you take me away from your lies?

Joe Nichols - Tequila Makes her Clothes Fall Off

 

She said: "I’m going out with my girlfriends.

"Margharitas at the Holiday Inn."

Oh, have mercy, my only thought,

Was Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

 

I told her: "Put an extra layer on."

I know what happens when she drinks Patron.

Her closet's missin' half the things she bought:

Yeah, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

 

She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes,

Lose an ear-ring in her drink.

Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall:

Drop a contact down the sink.

Them pantyhose aint gonna last too long,

If the DJ puts Bon Jovi on.

She might come home in a table cloth:

Yeah, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

Oh oh.

 

Instrumental Break.

 

She can handle any champagne brunch:

A bridal shower with Bacardi punch.

Jello shooters full of Smirnoff,

But Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

 

She’ll start by kicking out of her shoes,

Lose an ear-ring in her drink.

Leave her jacket in the bathroom stall:

Drop a contact down the sink.

 

She don’t mean nothin', she's just havin fun.

Tomorrow she say: "Oh, what have I done?"

Her friends will joke about the stuff she lost:

Yeah, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

Oh, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.

Oh, Tequila makes her clothes fall off.
