This is the greatest birthday song, and I hope someone will sing it to me on my birthday. :D

"Many years ago today something grew inside of your mother... That thing was you

YOU

YOU YOU YOU YOU

Did she scream did she cry Only those that are born are the ones that Get to die

One more year closer to dying Rotting organs ripping grinding Biological discordance Birthday equals self abhorrence

Years keep passing aging always Mutate into vapid slugs Doctor gives a new perscription Bullet in a ******* gun

One more year closer to dying Plastic surgeons fuel the lying You forget why you came in here Your mind rots with every New Year

RSVP PLEASE For the DETH of thee You have little time And you're running out of life

Happy Birthday You're gonna die

Now you're old and full of hatred Take a pill to masturbatred Children point to you and scream Because they will become that thing

One more year of further suffering There's no point of ******* bluffing Open up your DETHDAY present It's a box of ******* nothing

RSVP PLEASE For the DETH of thee You have little time And you're running out of life

DIE DIE DETHDAY BIRTHDAY DETHDAY DIE DIE DETHDAY BIRTHDAY DETHDAY

RSVP PLEASE For the DETH of thee You have little time And you're running out of life

Happy Birthday You're gonna die"

It's a Dethklok song, Birthday-Dethday. :D Most of you guys don't like them though.

On the Side of a Hill
Paul Simon

On the side of a hill
In a land called somewhere
A little boy lies asleep in the earth
While down in the valley a cruel war rages
And people forget what a child's life is worth

On the side of a hill a little cloud weeps
And waters the grave with its silent tears
While a soldier cleans and polishes a gun
That ended a life at the age of seven years

And the war rages on in a land called somewhere
And Generals order their men to kill
And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
While a little cloud weeps on the side of a hill

You might recognize this song in another setting. Anyone know what famous Simon and Garfunkle song this was in?

:cool: Fields Of The Nephilim - Shroud & Straight To The Light :cool:


I will fly again
I will fly again
All our days are numbers
We bare the face of men
The rain, the skies are changing
But I will fly again
Look up, look down
Look up, look down
Look up, look down
Look up
Look straight into the light
{you and I will fly again**
{you and I again**
Look down
Is it the face we know?
Or something beyond the soul?
We served this world like angels
Been burned both night and day
Now we turn with eyes blazing
Well its time for us to go
Look straight into the light
Look straight into the light
You and I will fly again {you and I will fly again**
You and I again {you and I again**
Look down
The sky is burning
No night can fall
Zero dark
(look out)
I'm of the world
(look out)
The light of truth outshines
(look out)
The light of the sun
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Look straight into the light
Look straight into the light
Look straight into the light
Watching the world fall away
Gathered most high to the flame
(look straight into the light)
Thousands of suns light the way
(look up)
A myriad of Angels await
(look straight into the light)
(Look up, look down)
I will fly again (nephilim child)
Look up
The light of truth
Always outshines the light of the sun
We are wise to ???
I will fly again
Look up

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I know that Im a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that Im a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
Im afraid thats all weve got

You say you just dont see it
He says its perfect sense
You just cant get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
Its the bitterness that lasts

So dont yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you dont give up, and dont give in
You may just be o.k.

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

I wasnt there that morning
When my father passed away
I didnt get to tell him
All the things I had to say

I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
Im sure I heard his echo
In my babys new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years

Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

"Battle Hymn of the Republic, Updated"

Mine eyes have seen the orgy of the launching of the Sword;
He is searching out the hoardings where the stranger's wealth is stored;
He hath loosed his fateful lightnings, and with woe and death has scored;
His lust is marching on.

I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the Eastern dews and damps;
I have read his doomful mission by the dim and flaring lamps—
His night is marching on.

I have read his bandit gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my pretensions, so with you my wrath shall deal;
Let the faithless son of Freedom crush the patriot with his heel;
Lo, Greed is marching on!"

We have legalized the strumpet and are guarding her retreat;*
Greed is seeking out commercial souls before his judgement seat;
O, be swift, ye clods, to answer him! be jubilant my feet!
Our god is marching on!

In a sordid slime harmonious Greed was born in yonder ditch,
With a longing in his bosom—and for others' goods an itch.
As Christ died to make men holy, let men die to make us rich—
Our god is marching on.

--Mark Twain, 1901

The Shins - A Comet Appears

With one hand on this wily comet,
Take a drink just to give me some weight,
Some uber-man I'd make,
I'm barely a vapour

They shone a chlorine light on,
A host of individual sins,
Let's carve my ageing face off,
Fetch us a knife,
Start with my eyes,
Down so the lines,
Form a grimacing smile,

Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard,
To cement a failure,

We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
But the lonely is such delicate things,
The wind from a wasp could blow them,
Into the sea,
With stones on their feet,
Lost to the light and the loving we need,

Still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing,

With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
I click my heels,
Get the devils in line,
A list of things I could lay the blame on,
Might give me a way out,

But with each turn,
It's this front and centre,
Like a dart stuck square in your eye,
Every post you can hitch your faith on,
Is a pie in the sky,
Chock full of lies,
A tool we devise,
To make sinking stones fly,

And still to come,
The worst part and you know it,
There is a numbness,
In your heart and it's growing.



I'm mesmerised by the quality of that man's writing.

"Every Day Is Exactly The Same"

I believe I can see the future
Cause I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now I never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around

Oh, no

[Chorus:]
Every day is exactly the same
Every day is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Every day is exactly the same

I can feel their eyes are watching
In case I lose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
Well I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I'm still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know, I don't know what else I can do

[Chorus x2]

Placebo - Song to Say Goodbye

You are one of God's mistakes,
You crying, tragic waste of skin,
I'm well aware of how it aches ,
And you still won't let me in.
Now I'm breaking down your door,
To try and save your swollen face ,
Though I don't like you anymore,
You lying, trying waste of space..

Before our innocence was lost,
You were always one of those ,
Blessed with lucky sevens ,
And the voice that made me cry .
My Oh My.

You were mother nature's son ,
Someone to whom I could relate ,
Your needle and your damage done,
Remains a sordid twist of fate.
Now I'm trying to wake you up ,
To pull you from the liquid sky ,
Coz if I don't we'll both end up ,
With just your song to say goodbye.
My Oh My.

A song to say goodbye,
A song to say goodbye ,
A song to say...

Before our innocence was lost,
You were always one of those,
Blessed with lucky sevens,
And the voice that made me cry.

It's a song to say goodbye.

There are a lot of good lyrics on "Achtung Baby" by U2, but my favorite from it is:

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" from "Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World".
 
Wait
Don’t wait for the water
Wait
Don’t wait for the water


We don’t even talk anymore
And we don’t even know what we argue about
Don’t even say I love you no more
’cause saying how we feel is no longer allowed
Some people will work things out
And some just don’t know how to change


Chorus:
Let’s don’t wait till the water runs dry
We might watch our whole lives pass us by
Let’s don’t wait till the water runs dry
We’ll make the biggest mistake of our lives
Don’t do it baby


Now they can see the tears in our eyes
But we deny the pain that lies deep in our hearts
Well maybe that’s a pain we can’t hide
’cause everybody knows that we’re both torn apart
Why do we hurt each other
Why do we push love away


Chorus

Don’t do it baby
Don’t do it baby
Wait
Watch
Don’t wait for the water
Wait
Don’t wait


Some people will work things out
And some just don’t know how to change


Chorus

Wait
Don’t do it baby
Wait
Don’t do it baby
Wait
Watch
Wait
No, no baby
We might watch our whole lives, yeah
Don’t wait for the water

Lucky Me by Great Big Sea, from the album Something Beautiful

He was born a sailor's son
Nothing came easy or free
He suffered the squalls, all the rises and falls
And everything else in between
He says "Storms always fade
"After they've had their way
"They're never as bad as they seem
"As long as the rivers still run to the sea,
"Hey, lucky you, lucky me...."

Who'd ever thought for a moment
She'd have to grow up so fast
The school beauty queen with a child at sixteen
Swore that her fortunes had passed
But blessings can hide in the strangest disguise
And I know that she would agree
As long as the rivers still run to the sea,
Hey, lucky you, lucky me....

Hey look at me in the spotlight
Ripped jeans and rock and roll hair
Feeling so cool but I’d be such a fool
Singing to no one out there
So hey, take a bow every band needs a crowd
And I've got a song we can sing
As long as the rivers still run to the sea,
Hey, lucky you, lucky me....

And so it Goes...
Billy Joel

In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along

I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense

And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose

But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break

And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break

And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

Third Eye - Tool

Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up
And wiping the webs and the dew from my withered eye.

A child's rhyme stuck in my head.
It said that life is but a dream.
I've spent so many years in question
to find I've known this all along.

"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"

Shroud-ing all the ground around me
Is this holy crow above me.
Black as holes within a memory
And blue as our new second sun.
I stick my hand into his shadow
To pull the pieces from the sand.
Which I attempt to reassemble
To see just who I might have been.
I do not recognize the vessel,
But the eyes seem so familiar.
Like phosphorescent desert buttons
Singing one familiar song...

"So good to see you.
I've missed you so much.
So glad it's over.
I've missed you so much.
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?
Came out to watch you play.
Why are you running away?"

Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.
Prying open my third eye.

So good to see you once again.
I thought that you were hiding.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing the tail of dogma.
I opened my eye and there we were.

So good to see you once again
I thought that you were hiding from me.
And you thought that I had run away.
Chasing a trail of smoke and reason.

Prying open my third eye.

__BE REAL
The Games People Play...Joe South

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean

And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine

[Chorus:]
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking 'bout you and me
And the games people play

Oh we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame

Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
It's a dirty rotten shame

[Chorus]

People walking up to you
Singing glory hallelulia
And they're tryin to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord

They're gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board

[Chorus]

Look around tell me what you see
What's happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To remember who I am

Cause you've given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turns you sad on humanity
And you don't give a da da da da da

Happy Phantom by Tori Amos

YouTube - Happy Phantom


And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go chasin the nuns out in the yard
And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
And I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields everday
And the atrocities of school I can forgive
The happy phantom has no right to *****

Oo who- the time is getting closer
Oo who- time to be a ghost
Oo who- everyday were getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we've been?

So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go wearin my naughties like a jewel
They'll be my ticket to the universal opera
Theres judy garland taking buddha by the hand
And then these seven little men get up to dance
They say confucius does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angle to the girl who hates to sin

Oo whoo- the time is gettin closer
Oo who- the time to be a ghost
Oo who- everyday were getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I've been?

Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back?
You found a girl that you could truly love again
Will you still call for me when she falls asleep?
Or do we soon forget the things we cannot see?

Oo who- the time is getting closer
Oo who- the time to be a ghost
Oo who- everyday were getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I've been?

And if I die today
And if I die today
And if I die today
Chasin nuns out in the yard

Everytime I listen to this song it gives me chills. Turn it up. Minimize the video and chill. It's crazy.

Safe by Kittie

In this darkness
Troubled waters
Lies a flicker
Of hopes fire

Come to your senses
Wager a risk
I won’t let go
Waiting for this
It’s wonderful
Reality
I watch as
This golden bird flies free

In this ash-vault
A rose garden
These walls will never
See me just to
Save me
Save me
Save me
Save me

Sandi Thom's I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair)

Chorus:
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In '77 and '69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair

When the head of state didn't play guitar,
Not everybody drove a car,
When music really mattered and radio was king,
When accountants didn't have control
And the media couldn't buy your soul
And computers were still scary and we didn't know everything

Chorus

When popstars still remained a myth
And ignorance could still be bliss
And when God Save the Queen she turned a whiter shade of pale
When my mom and dad were in their teen
And anarchy was still a dream
And the only way to stay in touch was a letter in the mail

Chorus
When record shops was still top
And vinyl was all that they stocked
And the super info highway was still drifting out in space
Kids were wearing hand me downs,
And playing games meant kick arounds
And footballers still had long hair and dirt across their face

Chorus

I was born too late to a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
